AChoosing SubjectsWhen making course option decisions at our school,we recommend the following things be taken into consideration.Why students should choose a subject Why students should NOT choose a subjectAbility The student has a natural talent for a particular subjectarea.The student thinks that it will be an easyoption.Interest The student enjoys studying the subject,which will helpkeep them motivated when things get tough.The student’s friends are doing it so theythink it will be fun.Future It relates to the student’s career plan and will help themdevelop relevant skills for their future.The student did not have time to researchtheir options properly.Advice The student has discussed their options with their teachersand parents and they have agreed it is a good idea.The student is only doing the subjectbecause someone else told them to do it.University entrance requirements are set by the British university admissions and will differ depending on theuniversity and courses selected.It is important to thoroughly research courses before choosing A-Level subjects and staff are available to guide students and parents in this area.Careers and future optionsStudents are given an opportunity to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the nature and demands of a variety of careers.They will receive career talks and presentations from a variety of employers and have the opportunity to visit universities.Further researchAs part of the option process.students are encouraged to carry out additional research to help them with their selection.1.What should a student consider for choosing a subject?A.Friends’preferences.B.Difficulty of subjects.C.Teachers’expectations.D.Relation to occupations.2.What is included in the subject-selecting process?A.Engaging students in college tours.B.Offering lectures on A-Level subjects.C.Guaranteeing a suitable future job.D.Conducting various scientific research.3.Where is the text probably taken from?A.An exam paper.B.A teaching plan.C.A school brochure.D.An academic article.BDo you know how much India struggles to gather the waste plastic water bottles?According to a Central Pollution Control Board(CPCB)report from2012,India generates15,000tonnes of plastics a day,of which the gathered ones only achieve60%.The trashed-but-not-gathered plastic waste leads to land and water pollution. posing serious threat to the environment.After seeing that,Ankur Chawla,a drink expert,undertook research to find a solution,after which he realised the biggest problem the country faced was disposing of plastic waste.To address it,he wanted to come up with a solution where they do not add to the problem of waste.Fortunately,Ankur was not alone.He met Bhrigu Seth who was into green farming.Both of them found that they shared a common goal and it didn’t take long for them to draft a plan of action.It is estimated that over90percent of aluminium(铝)drink cans in India are recycled.Instead,70percent of the cans are manufactured through recycled waste.After going through challenges at hand,the pair made up their minds.Before taking the next step.both co-founders visited five-star hotels and took samples of water in aluminium cans,asking them whether they would give it a shot if something like that comes in the market.The pair received an overwhelmingly positive response.They then determined to launch Responsible Whatr,natural spring water drink packed in an aluminium can to solve the problem of waste plastic water bottles.As one of India’s first natural spring water drink,Responsible Whatr offered an environmentally friendly and endlessly recyclable aluminium can.It’s a non-alcoholic drink that was launched with a vision for an eco-friendly future and an agenda to reduce single-use plastic pollution.Going forward,Ankur and Bhrigu aim to cooperate with airports and ecommerce gates which would help them in directly reaching the homes of high networth individuals(HNIs).They also plan to tie up with corporate firms and cinema halls and join hands with NGOs that are fighting for the conservation of beaches and oceans.4.What inspired Ankur to conduct his research?A.Plastics remained the major bottle material.B.Uncollected plastics caused severe pollution.C.Plastics accounted for most of the daily waste.D.The amount of plastic waste was beyond control.5.What was Ankur and Bhrigu’s solution to the problem?A.Creating a new packaging design.B.Developing an alternative to plastics.unching a rubbish sorting program.D.Increasing the recycling of plastic cans.6.What was Responsible Whatr aimed at?A.Removing plastic pollution.B.Promoting aluminium cans.C.Advertising non-alcoholic drinks.D.Advocating a sustainable approach.7.How do Ankur and Bhrigu plan to expand their market?A.By cooperating with NHIs.B.By introducing new products.C.By targeting profitable NGOs.D.By establishing diverse channels.CA new finding from Cambridge scientists has shown that an artificial intelligent(AI)system can acquire features of the brains of humans in order to solve tasks.“Not only is the brain great at solving complex problems,but it does so while using very little energy.In ournew work we show that considering the brains’problem-solving abilities alongside its goal of spending as few resources as possible can help us understand why brains look like they do,”said Jascha Achterberg,a scholar at the University of Cambridge.In a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence,Achterberg and his colleagues created an artificial system intended to model a simplified version of the brain.Instead of real neurons(神经元)in brains,the system used computational nodes(节点).The researchers gave the system a simple task to complete,where it had to combine multiple pieces of information to decide upon the shortest route to get to the destination.One of the reasons the team chose this particular task is that to complete it,the system needs to maintain a number of elements-start location,end location and intermediate steps-and once it has learned to do the task reliably,it is possible to observe,at different moments in a trial,which nodes are important.Initially,the system does not know how to complete the task and makes mistakes.But when it is given feedback it gradually learns to get better at the task.The system then repeats the task until eventually it learns to perform it correctly.Co-author Professor Duncan Astle said,“This simple task forces artificial systems to produce some quite complicated characteristics.Interestingly,they are characteristics shared by biological systems.I think that tells us something fundamental about why our brains are organised the way they are.”The team also believes their findings are likely to be of interest to the AI community,too,where they could allow for the development of more efficient systems.8.Which best describes the brains of humans according to the text?A.Intelligent.B.Efficient.C.Adaptive.D.Imaginative.9.Why did researchers assign the route-finding task?A.To require decision-making process.B.To complete it without any effort.C.To result in various node sizes.D.To involve specific procedures.10.What can we infer about the system from the last two paragraphs?A.It shows limits of artificial intelligence.B.It needs human instructions to progress.C.It performs complicated tasks by learning.D.It has much in common with human brains.11.What is the research team’s attitude toward the finding?A.Cautious.B.Enthusiastic.C.Hopeful.D.Skeptical.DMost people would be terrified of entering waters with crocodiles(鳄鱼),but not Sao Chan.Like others living in a jungle village,the73-year-old farmer says the Siamese crocodiles found in the waterways may look ferocious,but they should not be treated with prejudice.“If we come close to them,they just run away,”Chan says.He’s right.There have been extremely few reported attacks by Siamese crocodiles on humans in the world, and reportedly none anywhere in Cambodia.Instead,it’s the crocodiles that have every reason to fear people.Once common throughout Southeast Asia,the particularly shy Siamese crocodile,which can grow up to10feet long,was for decades hunted for its skin and meat to such an extent that,in the early1990s,the species was thought to be extinct in the wild.Some of them survived in the Cardamoms,however,where populations of the reptiles,likely numbering fewer than200individuals in total,were rediscovered in2000.Since then,local people have conducted regular patrols (巡逻)to protect them from threats.While the patrols and other conservation efforts have helped prevent the extinction of the Siamese crocodiles,concerns about the species’long-term survival have remained because population numbers have stayed largely flat since their rediscovery.In2022,conservationists have introduced more Siamese crocodiles into the wild than ever before,not just in the Cardamoms but for the first time into a wildlife reserve in the northern part of the country,where the crocodiles historically were found.Advances in genetic testing have identified crocodiles suitable for release,and satellite tracking of reintroduced crocodiles has improved protection efforts.“We have a long way to go,but the potential comeback of the Siamese crocodile could be Cambodia’s most successful conservation story,”says Pablo Sinovas,who leads a nonprofit reintroducing the animals.“Its survival isn’t just an ecological necessity,but a symbolic matter of urgency if we have any hope of preserving nature on Earth.”12.What does the underlined word“ferocious”in Paragraph1mean?A.Violent.B.Friendly.C.Ugly.D.Abnormal.13.What put Siamese crocodiles on the edge of extinction?A.Habitat loss.B.Water pollution.C.Human activities.D.Poor adaptability.14.Why are protectors worried about Siamese crocodiles?A.They are regularly disturbed by touristsB.Their quantity isn’t increased as expected.C.The locals lack awareness of protecting themD.They fail to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings15.What plays a great role in crocodiles’reintroduction?A.Frequent patrols.B.Modern technology.C.Economic advances.D.Genetic transformation.第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

However, there's still much that could be done.When a woman named Madalyn Parker decided to take a couple of mental health days, she let her team know by e-mail. What surprised her was the reaction of her company's CEO, who reached out with a message. The woman, who goes by the username@madalynrose on X. shared the original e-mail and the response, which dates back to 2017. "Hey, team, I'm taking today and tomorrow off to focus on my mental health. Hopefully, I should be back next week refreshed and back to 100%,"reads her message. Knowing the importance of mental health, Parker has made efforts to speak out clearly about it, hoping to inspire her coworkers to do the same. "I'm specific to be an example, so my team knows that they can feel comfortable taking sick leave for mental health, even if they don't say it, "she later added.Many managers would be somewhat hesitant about her choice. But Parker's boss. Ben Congleton, completely supported her and thanked her for her transparency(透明). "I just wanted to personally thank you for using e-mails like this. Every time you do, I use it as are minder of the importance of using sick days for mental health -I cannot believe it's not a standard practice at all organizations, "he wrote. "You are an example to us all. and help cut through the stigma(耻辱) so we can all bring our whole selves to work. " Today, Parker continues her mission to put mental health at the forefront.

To stress workplace mental healthCYoung families with children are a shrinking(缩小) part of the US population. The decline is especially pronounced in major urban cities, including Boston, San Francisco, New York, and so on. Americans aged 25 to 44- the years when people typically start families-are increasingly moving to rural counties and small cities. Actually, besides property fax payments, young families contribute to the economy by spending on housing, groceries, child care,health care, recreation, and education. They help generate stable jobs in sectors such as education, health care, and hospitality. By participating in local events, young families help develop a sense of belonging and strengthen cities' social fabric. Neighborhoods with young families tend to have lower crime rates due to parents' investment in their children's safety and well-being.Why are these families leaving large cities There're many reasons, including high costs of living and housing, quality of education and school systems, and environmental and health factors.But some cities are going against this trend. For example, Austin, Texas, has become a major tech center in recent years, with many companies relocating or expanding there and creating jobs. Austin's relatively low cost of living, strong public school system, and lots of parks and recreational activities make it a destination that's often highly rated for families. Raleigh, North Carolina, is another popular draw for young families with children. It offers a strong job market in technology, health care, and education and affordable housingOverall, families with children consider many factors in choosing a place to live. Affordable and family-friendly housing is usually a top priority. Cities seeking to attract families could prioritize developing affordable single-family homes, townhomes, andapartments with family-friendly features, such as common play spaces. Another priority for attracting and retaining young families is well-funded public schools with excellent teachers, and resources. Most cities don't have the resources to pursue all of these goals at once. But picking one or two as targets is a good way to move forward.8. What can we learn about young families from paragraph 2A. They form the backbone of cities.B. They like the high quality of city life.C. Big cities are more suitable for them.D. City life is a heavy burden for them.9. Why does the author mention AustinA. To make a comparison with Raleigh.B. To show itsfamily-friendly features.C. To predict its population shrinkage.D. To explain the importance of big cities.10. What does the author convey in the last paragraphA. Urban resources are being overused now.B. City construction should be slowed down.C. Young families tend to live in small cities.D. Measures should be taken for young families.11. Which of the following is the best title for the textA. Urban Life of Young FamiliesB. Rise of Rural Child-RaisingC. Decline in City Young FamiliesD. Family-Friendly City Strategies DDengue fever is the most common tropical disease in the world. There's currently no commonly available vaccine (疫苗) for adults. It's spread between people by two species of mosquitoes.In 2023, some 6 million cases of dengue fever were reported worldwide — more than ever before. Then, 2024 blew that record away. Now, a new study suggests that climate change has likely played a significant role in the expansion of the disease from 1995 to 2014. Over that time period, climate change increased the caseload by roughly 20% across the 21 countries in the study. But the growth could be contained - not stopped, but at least minimized — if climate action keeps global temperatures in check. Using climate models and other techniques, the researchers could link the human-driven temperature increases with increased caseloads. "Understanding how much of the increase in disease can be ascribed to climate can give us more confidence in our predictions for how infections are going to respond to future climate changes," says. Marta Shocket, a disease ecologist.The study did not include countries where dengue fever is still rare, a category which includes the US. But the number of cases within:US borders has also risen sharply in recent years. In 2023, several cases of locally acquired dengue fever were reported for the first time. More were identified this year in Los Angeles County. "When dengue caseloads are high in the rest of the world, it increases the chances that the disease can make its way into new areas, says scientist Katharine Walter. "The world is more connected than ever before, and country borders are artificial, she says.The study suggests that by 2050, the number could rise by 60% as more parts of the world enter the mosquito-friendly temperature zone.

governments,businesses,and conservationists understand(21)whet needs to be done to protect the Earth.The team looks at several factors.One is the Living Planet Index(LPI), (22)____examines how wildlife populations have changed over time.A total of5,268species across the world have been tracked,including birds,fish,insects,and mammals.The change in wildlife varies around the world.South America and the Caribbean are the most affected.In these areas,the average wildlife populations have dropped by94%over50 years.Central Asia and Europe have(23)_____(small)decline,with an18%drop.The

were more than50sightings of the critically(29)_____(endanger)Antarctic blue whale.In the US,conservation efforts in recent decades have helped to save several species, including the bald

media—texting in particular—may be harming children's social and intellectual development.But a new study suggests that constant instant messaging(IM'ing)and texting among teens may also provide benefits,particularly for introverts,who are___31___to tell their thoughts to others.British researchers analyzed150conversations exchanged by231teens.In100of these chats,the study participant began IM'ing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness or anger.The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral.After the chat,participants reported a20%reduction in their distress—not enough to completely___32___it but enough to leave them feeling better than they had before reaching out.“Our findings suggest that IM'ing between distressed adolescents and their peers may___33___contribute to their well-being,"the authors write,noting provide emotional relief and that prior research has shown that people___34___to talk to strangers either in real life or online improved their mood in both settings,but even more with IM.And people who talk with their real-life friends online also report(feeling closer to them than those who just communicate with each other face-to-face,implying a strengthening of their___35___.Why would digital communication beat human contact?The regions are complex,but may have something to do with the fact that users can control their expressions of sadness and other emotions they may be having via IM without having to___36___emotional elements such as tears,which some may consider as embarrassing or sources of___37___.Studies also show that the anonymity(匿名)of writing on a device blankets the users in a sense of safely.Prior research has shown that expressive writing itself can"vent"emotions and provide a sense of relief—and doing so,knowing that your words are reaching a(n)___38___friend may be even more therapeutic.Researchers also found that introverted participants reported more relief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extroverts did.In fact,introverts care deeply for their friends,family and colleagues,but even the most socially skilled ones sometimes long for a free___39___from having to socialize or having to talk on the phone.This is what the Internet___40___offers:the chance to connect—but ins(剂量)and from behind a screen.III.Reading Comprehension(45分)Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A skywell,or"tian jing",is a tvpical feature of a traditional home in China.___41___a northern Chinese courtyard,or“yuan zi”a skvwell is smaller and less exposed to the outdoorenvironment.They are___42___seen in homes dating to Ming and Qing dynasties,which were designed to____43_____different generations of relatives.Although a skywell's size and design vary from region to region,it is always rectangular and located in the Core of a house,either___44___by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. Skywells were designed to cool buildings before air-conditioning existed.When wind blows above a skywell house,it can enter the indoor space through the opening.Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air,the___45___breeze travels down the walls to the lower storeys and create air___46___by replacing warmer indoor air,which rises and leaves through the opening.The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light,improve ventilation(通风)and___47___ rainwater.In Huizhou,a skywell is small but tall,and the rooms around it can___48___sunlight on hot days,enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool.___49___hot air inside the house can rise and escape through the opening above the skywell,which“works just like a___50___”As a(n)___51___space between indoor life and the outdoor environment,a skywell acts as an effective heat buffer(缓冲)to shield residents from the hot air outside.But the largest part of skywell's cooling effect actually comes when there are bodies of water in the enclosure.Evaporated water cools hot air,a process known as evaporative cooling which is___52___in Huizhou skywells.In the past,Huizhou families collected rainwater in their skywells because they believed this could safeguard and boost their wealth.Skywells therefore have channels around them to___53___rainwater coming from the roofs.Though existing in China for hundreds of years,in recent times they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern___54___.Over the past two decades,however,due to a___55___of traditional Chinese architecture,skywell buildings have been making a comeback.41.A.Parallel with B.Different from.

D.rearrangementSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)As mountains go,1,642-foot Squaw Peak isn't particularly imposing.But its inviting views of western Massachusetts have tricked hikers into becoming less cautious among its steep,slippery cliffs,resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.Henry Grant,a week before starting his freshman year,respected Squaw Peak's record.As such,he stayed a good ten feet from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up to him one day in August2019.He watched15or so other hikers enjoy the view;one hiker,around60 and dressed in pink,was peeking over the lip of the cliff with her husband.Suddenly he heard something frightening:“Paula!Paula!”a man yelled frantically.Grant turned around.The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen.Several hikers immediately started looking for her.Uncertain they could help,Grant and his mother headed down the trail.But when he saw hikers still searching,he decided to lend a hand.“My young dumb brain was like,I can do it,"he says.After15minutes of scrambling over rocks,Grant spotted a figure in pink.The woman had fallen about75feet.Miraculously,she was alive.“Paula!”Grant shouted.“Paula.Is that you?”The woman barely responded.She was clearly hurt and delirious.Grant called911and waited,but she kept trying to move,and every time she moved,she slipped a little more.Afraid that in her disorderly state of mind she might fall off the rock to her death,Grant crawled on all fours up a tight,narrow path,gaining friction by digging into the dirt with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.Securing himself against a tree,Grant tried to keep her mind off the pain by intervening with questions;“Where are you from?What do you do for a living?Do you have kids?”About 45minutes later,first responders arrived,To reach them,a rescuer lowered down and lifted Paula up.Paula,who has fully recovered,is Paula Kaplan-Reiss,a New Jersey psychologist who had traveled to the Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts for some relief following her mother's death.Instead,she met a young man who,as she stated in a letter to the Boston Globe,was her new hero.56.Paula's accident on Squaw Peak is most likely the result of_________.A.the heavy blow caused by her mother's deathB.the slippery cliffs that resulted in many injuries and deathsC.her being less safety-conscious at the breathtaking views.D.her husband's neglect of care while accompanying her57.What does the underlined word“delirious”in Paragraph6mean according to the context?A.Unable to move.B.Unable to stay conscious.C.Unable to talk.D.Unable to think clearly.58.Why did Grand keep asking Paula questions?A.To distract her attention from the pain.B.To find out her condition.C.To encourage her to hold on.D.To get to know her better.59.What kind of person is Henry Grant according to the article?A.Dumb and brave.B.Decisive and sensible.C.Respectful and caring.D.Reserved and calm.Thesaurus●Thesaurus is one of the vital tools that every goodEnglish writer has in their storehouse.Building onvocabulary is essential and that is what Thesaurus justoffers.Thesaurus helps users by providing alternativewords and phrases to perfectly express themselves.Italso offers the best collection of synonyms and antonyms.●Overuse of cliches.adverbs or bulky phrases is some examples of poor writing,which needs tobe addressed.In this case,the Thesaurus has a collection of some of the most overused expressions that must be avoided in written English.●Sharpen your English skills with this powerful online and mobile application tool for free.

They're not.Louisiana has the highest murder rate among states.Prison,like the police and the courts,has a minimal impact on crime because it is a response after the fact,Ht doesn't work. The idea of punishing the few to discourage the many is fake because potential criminals either think they're not going to get caught or they're so psychologically distressed that they don't care. about the consequences of their actions.The threatened punishment,regardless of its severity,is never a factor in the equation.Prison has a role in public safety,but it is not a cure-all.The only effective way to contain crime is for society to work to prevent the criminal act in the first place.Our youngsters must be taught to respect humanity of others and to handle dispute without violence.It is essential to educate and equip them with the skills to pursue their life ambitions in a meaningful way.As a community, we must address the adverse life circumstances that breed criminality.These things are not quick, and they are not easy,but they are effective.Politicians think that's too hard a sell.They want something they can point to at re-election time.So the drumbeat goes on for more police,more prisons,more of the same failed policies.Ever see a dog chase its own tail?63,Which of the following situations is not regarded as a"silver bullet"?A Employing a roundabout way to help students correct their mistakes.B.Setting up refuges to shelter the homeless war victims.C.Training farmers with farming techniques to help them out of poverty.D.Adopting effective policies to save economy from worsening.64.According to the passage,law makers'failure to make proper legislation is due to the fact that_______.A.they are proud and boastful of high lock-up ratesB.they fail to address the root of the problemC.they don't treat people of different races alikeD.they give priority to precaution over punishment65.The idiom best describing the effective way to ease the severity of crime in Louisiana is_____A.turn over a new leaf.B.get a kick out of itC.an eye for an eye.D.prevention is better than cure66.What is the best title for the passage?A.Prisons—A Tool for Election.B.Why Prisons Don't WorkC.An Appeal from a Murderer.D.Why Society Is a Safer PlaceSection CDirections:Read the following passages.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.They are culturally distant,and so have far less borrowed European vocabulary too.B.This more than anything else accounts for the difficulty of the language.C.Indeed,none of the hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet used by most European languages.D.But foreign writing systems need not be difficult.E.The overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system,sounds,words and grammar.F.But just as hart is the problem of languages that make distinctions our language does notWhich Languages Take the Longest to LearnThe difficulty in learning a foreign language lies not only in its inherent complexity.The main reason a language is hard is that it is different from your own.What underlies the difficulty of such languages for an English-speaker?The first thing many learners will think of is the writing system. ______67______Chinesestands out for its difficulty.It is commonly said that a learner must memorize around2,000characters to be able to read a newspaper.But even this estimate is criticized.Someone with2,000characters will still have to look up unfamiliar ones in every few lines of text.A second way languages can be hard is with sounds and distinctions that do not exist in the learner's language,To an English-speaker,the novelties include the clicks of many African languages._______68_______Mandarin and Cantonese have tones,meaning ma with an even pitch and ma with a falling one are different words.The vocabulary obviously matters too.Most European languages share an ancestor(called proto-Indo European)and so their words,too,often come in related pairs.If you know water in Spanish is agua,it is easy to figure out Italian acqua and English nguages unrelated to the European ones(Arabic from the Semitic family,or Chinese from the Sino-Tibetan one) will not only lack the“genetic”overlap in vocabulary.____69______.Finally,there is grammar.Many people associate tricky grammar with long lists of endings that change according to a word's use in a sentence Many languages even feature an ending on verbs indicating how the speaker knows the information to be true._____70_____If you want to learn a language just for fun,start with Swedish,If you want to accumulate an impressive number.Stay in Europe.But if you really want to impress. mastering Mandarin is the sign of the true linguistic Ironman.IV.Summary Writing(10分)71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Does Reading Improve HealthWhen thinking about our well being and taking care of ourselves,some things that we should do are harder than others.Reading is one of the easier ones.What follows are a number of ways in which reading can help maintain and improve health.Reading allows you to de-stress by unplugging and escaping.In one study,reading was found to be as effective as yoga and humor in reducing subjective feelings of stress over a30-minute period,as well as blood pressure and heart rate.Note that a good old-fashioned book or a dedicated eBook reader is the best way to do this.Readers may live longer than non-readers.One study found that this was supposed to be due to the effect that reading has on maintaining cognitive abilities over time.In another study of individuals aged64and over,those who read at least once a week were less likely to experience cognitive decline than those who did not.At the14-year mark of the study,and regardless of educational level,those who read more enjoyed greater protection.This effect is maintained into readers'80's.Bibliotherapy,or the use of various reading materials for the promotion of psychological health,is a well-known aid to mental health treatment.Bibliotherapy can consist of any type of literature and may include self-help books,focused readings,first-hand accounts of others' experiences,and even relevant fiction.This can be a powerful strategy and has been used successfully to reduce depression,suicidal thinking,anxiety,stress and etc.The benefits of reading are innumerable and reading is a low to no-cost activity.Cheap and no-cost books are libraries continue to be one of the most amazing resources. If you aren't a natural reader,you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.第二卷V.Translation(15分）Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.虽然青少年爱和父母顶嘴，但是他们内心是尊重父母的。

NYFW is considered the most commercial and casual of the four. It is also the only event to allow some fashion school students to participate, bringing a fresh look to the runway. LondonLondon Fashion Week （LFW）comes on the heels of NYFW, starting on September 13th and running through September 17th.

A pregnant woman and her screaming 2-year-old daughter were trapped in the car.While his partner, Allen Hadley, was tending to the driver, Lloyd couldn't get the frightened girl to calm down. He saw she was holding several bottles of nail polish, and then he had a better idea. He asked her if she wanted to paint his nails. Soon she entirely lit up. At the same time, Hadley showed up to check on the scene.Lloyd had calmed her down and was in the process of getting his fingers painted. Then Hadley just put his hand in there. The girl began to color his nails pink. By this time, she was not only calm, but she was also happy.The girl's mother was not injured. She thanked them for helping herdaughter feel better, and they all chuckled, looking at the firefighters' nails, and took some photos.The firefighters brought the photos back to headquarters and showed them around. The department put them up on Facebook, and thousands of people responded, with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl.Fire Chief Mark Becraft said he had been surprised at all the attention. He said he was proud of his firefighters, and added that he had known members of the department who had done many things that weren't part of the job.After the fact, Lloyd and Hadley had a small matter to tend to：the layers of polish on their nails. They bought a bottle of nail polish remover, and used almost all of it.24.Why was the 2-year-old girl frightenedA. She was caught in an accident.B. Her mother was badly injured.C.

So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others upgrade the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art is egg painting, which comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition and adapted the traditional methods to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that crazily appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in egg painting and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs atevery stage of the process — from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror that I kind of like, the horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny boat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The complex and detailed patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.Egg painting art, dating back to 300 B.C., was later absorbed into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still survive. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children.A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.28. What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in RussiaA. They are shaped like jewel cases.B. They are heavily painted in red.C. They are favored as a form of art.D. They are valued by the rich.29. Why have contemporary artists continued the tradition of egg paintingA. Because eggs serve as a symbol of the coming of spring.B. Because eggs provide a source of protein in winter’s end.C. Because eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.D. Because eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.30. Which of the following best explains “vulnerability” underlined in paragraph 5A. Delicateness.B. Technique.C. Fear.D. Anxiety.31. What is the main idea of the textA. Egg painting art preserves traditional and popular symbols.B. Different cultures have different ways of honoring the egg.C. Ukrainian egg painting art appeals to contemporary artists.D. Egg painting art continues and develops in pace with time.DImagine you enter a car with no steering wheel, no brake or accelerator pedals (踏板). Under a voice-activated command, you say an address. “The fastest route will take us 15.3 minutes. Should I take it ” You say “yes” and you are on your way. The car responds and starts moving all by itself. All you have to do is to sit back and relax.How strange would it be if, one day in the future, everyone had such a car No crazy driving, no quarrels, no cutting in; traffic laws would be respected and driving much safer. On the other hand, imagine the cost savings for local police enforcement (强制执行) and town budgets without all those speeding and parking tickets.A new technology has the potential to change modern society thoroughly. There’s no question that self-driving vehicles could be anenormous benefit. The potential for safer cars means accident statistics would drop: some 94% of road accidents in the U.S. involve human error. Older drivers and visually-or physically-disabled people would gain a new level of freedom. Maintaining safe speeds and being electric, self-driving cars would sharply reduce pollution levels and dependency on non-renewable fuels. Roads would be quieter, people safer.But we must also consider the impact of the new technology on those who now depend on driving for their living. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in May 2015 there were 505,560 registered school bus drivers. The American Trucking Association lists approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the U.S. The companies developing self-driving vehicles should be partnering with state and federal authorities to offer retraining for this massive workforce, many of whom will be displaced by the new technology.New technologies will, and should, be developed. This is how society moves forward. However, progress can’t be one-sided. It is necessary for the companies and state agencies involved to consider the moral consequences of these potential changes to build a better future for all.32. What would be the effect of the wide use of driverless carsA. More policemen would inspect the streets.B. People would never feel angry about the traffic.C. It would save local governments a lot of money.D. Traffic regulations would be a thing of the past.33. How would the elderly and the disabled benefit from driverless carsA. They would get rid of air pollution.B. They could enjoy greater mobility.C. They would suffer no road accidents.D. They could go anywhere they want.34. What would be the negative effect of driverless carsA. The conflict between labor and management would sharpen.B. Many drivers would have to find new ways of earning a living.C. Drivers would have a hard time adapting to new road conditions.D. The gap between various departments of society would be widened.35. What does the author suggest businesses and the government doA. Enable everyone to benefit from new technologies.B. Keep pace with technological developments.C. Make new technologies affordable to everyone.D. Popularize the use of new technologies and devices.第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They were the "in" thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being "replaced". We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the " new" stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring. My ring was new.Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. " You'll recognize this one," she said, smiling.Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.【1】The underlined word "in" in the first paragraph probably means "_____".A．fashionable B．available C．practical D．renewable【2】When she got the ring back, the writer was about _____.A．13 years old B．15 years old C．26 years old D．28 years old【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A． The writer's family moved several times.B． The writer never stopped looking for her ring.C． The writer's ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.D． The writer lost her ring in the morning when she took it off.【4】What would be the best title for the passage?A．My New Ring B．Lost and FoundC．Lost and Replaced D．An Expensive Ring2.Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include. " I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you." As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said Sam Biddle, who writes for . " We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones."It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said. "A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said. " There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there.

Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here's my own suggestion. . .It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism." My dear husband," said his hopeful wife one day, " have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?"Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. "But it is, it is," she replied excitedly. Mr Dull-Husband made no reply."Don't you want to know her plans?" she cried with some impatience."Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. .. so I'd better listen. ""Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month." "What is her name?" "Bingley. ""Is she married or single?""What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. " "How so? How can it possibly affect them? ""My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. "" Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. "" Nonsense, my love, how little you've noticed the world has changed. She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I'm told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. " " Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. " "Oh, that's not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I'll go along all the same. "And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company. ... It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more "female" dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Austen was born 200 years ago.B．Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice.C．Austen's success lies in her wisdom.D．Austen's updated work gains popularity.【2】The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs Bennet ____.A．had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about BingleyB．felt kind of worried and doubtful about BingleyC．was extremely anxious to meet BingleyD．had a great curiosity about Bingley【3】In the eyes of Mrs Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to ____.A．get married to B．work for herC．help her move in D．take over her store【4】What does the writer intend to tell us?A．Women with brains can also be as successful as men.B．Women have to pay a high price for success.C．A judgment must be made free from prejudice.D．Sex discrimination still exists nowadays.5.A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said; "We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook."We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example,we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda."At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures. " Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK schoolpupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. " Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing," he said, " We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon. "The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.Kieran said: " It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.

We gossip. About others' behaviour and private lives, such as who's doing what with whom, who's in and who's out-and why; how to deal with difficult ____ situations involving children, lovers, and colleagues.So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural ____, of both time and words? Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really____issues.Dunbar ____ the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk, argues Dunbar—____, he goes on to say, language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the ____ of the higher primates（灵长类动物）like monkeys. By means of grooming--cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or____ from outside it.As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar ____ that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group, the greater the____ it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to ____ the pressure and calm everybody down.But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be ____ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more ____ kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal（有声的）grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one ____ contact.【1】A．claim B．description C．gossip D．language【2】A．occasionally B．habitually C．independently D．originally【3】A．social B．political C．historical D．cultural【4】A．admirers B．masters C．users D．wasters 【5】A．vital B．sensitive C．ideal D．difficult 【6】A．confirms B．rejects C．outlines D．broadens 【7】A．for instance B．in addition C．on the contrary D．as a result 【8】A．motivation B．appearance C．emotion D．behaviour 【9】A．attack B．contact C．inspection D．assistance 【10】A．recalls B．denies C．concludes D．confesses 【11】A．prospect B．responsibility C．leadership D．protection 【12】A．measure B．show C．maintain D．ease 【13】A．saved B．extended C．consumed D．gained 【14】A．common B．efficient C．scientific D．Thoughtful 【15】A．indirect B．daily C．physical D．secret三、阅读理解1.Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either. 【1】A plover protects its young from a predator by______.A．getting closer to its youngB．driving away the adult predatorC．leaving its young in another nestD．pretending to be injured【2】By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means______.A．chimps are ready to attack othersB．chimps are sometimes dishonestC．chimps are jealous of the winnersD．chimps can be selfish too【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B．The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C．Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D．Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Do animals lie?B．Does Mother Nature fool animals?C．How do animals learn to lie?D．How does honesty help animals survive?2.Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.Here's how it works:A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.Here's how to apply it:Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick. a reward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward become interconnected. Finally, when you seethe shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won't need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workoutitself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?【1】Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?A．Pick a new cue.B．Form a new habit.C．Choose a new reward.D．Design a new resolution.【2】According to THE HABIT LOOP, you can stick to your plan most effectively by______.A．changing the routine B．trying it for a weekC．adjusting your goal D．writing it down【3】What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?A．To test out different kinds of cues.B．To do something as a habit even without rewards.C．To work out the best New Year's resolution.D．To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.【4】“This year when I see the Harry Potter poster, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour." What is the cue in this resolution?A．The Harry Potter poster.B．Reading 30 pages of an English novel.C．An English newspaper.D．Watching TV for half an hour.3.If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising theirarms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of adark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think illof them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result.

CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want tobe actively involved in good works.Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation. So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct（行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency （透明）in their operations. Increasingly, too. they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasison opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives liketo hear. The idea of "doing well by doing good" has become popular.Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy?Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue（美德）：it is just good business.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)【1】Both _________ in some companies find it no longer enough to simply donate money to charities.【2】Give one example of the defensive measures of risk management according to the passage.【3】With the emphasis on opportunity, the third layer of CSR is meant to_________.【4】According to the passage, "good business" (paragraph 6) means that corporations ________ while making profits.2.Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.【1】我习惯睡前听点轻音乐。
