Each word canMake a Wish List Most of us know of New Year’s Resolutions, where one setswill no longer eat biscuits left at my desk”— and then feel unhappy. In the cold month ofway to start the year. What you need instead are things to look forward to.So instead, try a wish list. This involves writing down 100 things you would like to do in the year ahead. The items can be enormous or tiny, ranging from “Climb Everest” to “buy a new pencil sharper”. The main thing is that at some point it has 14 to you as something that you would like to do.The key here is — write it down.Do you feel any resistance to the ideas? If so, ask yourself why. What is wrong with 15 what you would like to do? Try not to say to yourself: “I can’t I don’t have the money/time/energy/skills.” Just write it down.It helps to be 16 , so rather than “Get outdoors”, 17 a place you would like to visit. And take your time when creating it — a wish list is not built in a day. ThinkThis past July was the hottest recorded month in human history. Heat waves smashed temperature records worldwide and even brought summer temperatures to Chile and Argentina during the Southern Hemisphere’s winter. It’s more than just a matter of sweaty discomfort. In the U.S. alone, it kills more people each year than floods, tornadoes andrapidly becoming a health necessity.Yet standard air-conditioning systems have 22 us in a vicious cycle: the hotter it is, the more people use the AC—and the more energy is used as a result. Nicole Miranda, an engineer researching sustainable cooling at the University of Oxford says: “it’s not only a vicious cycle, but it’s a(n) 23 one.” According to 2018 data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the worldwide annual energy demand from cooling is 24 to more than triple by 2050.It’s becoming increasingly clear that humans cannot outrun climate change with the same air-conditioning technology we’ve been using. One well-known problem with current AC systems is their reliance on refrigerant 25 , many of which are potential greenhouse gases. About 80 percent of a standard AC unit’s climate-warming emissions currently come from the energy used to 26 it, says Nihar Shah, director of the Global Cooling Efficiency Program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.Standard air-conditioning systems 27 cool and dehumidify through a relatively inefficient mechanism: in order to condense water out of the air, they overcool that air pastthe point of comfort. Many new designs therefore separate the dehumidification and cooling processes, which avoids the need to overcool.Even with some of the best technologies available, the gains in 28 alone might not be enough to offset the widely expected increase in air-conditioning use. It will not work to simply replace every 29 air conditioner with a better model and call it a day. Instead, a truly cooler future will have to 30 other strategies that rely on urban planning and building design to minimize the need for cooling in the first place.三、完形填空Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, anxiety disorders,and self-murder.They are some of the most common mental health conditions around the world, 32 around four out of every 100 people and costing the health care system and job employers over US $42 billion each year.People with anxiety are more likely to miss days from work and are less 33 . Young people with anxiety are also less likely to enter school and complete it, leading to fewer life 34 . Even though this evidence points to anxiety disorders as being important mental health issues, insufficient 35 is being given to them by researchers, clinicians, and policy makers.My team and I at the University of Cambridge wanted to find out who is most affected by anxiety disorders. To do this, we conducted a systematic 36 of studies that reported on the proportion of people with anxiety in a variety of contexts around the world, and used accurate methods to keep the highest quality studies.Our results showed women are almost twice as likely to 37 anxiety as men, and people living in Europe and North America are disproportionately affected.So why are women more 38 ? It could be because of differences in brain chemistry and hormone (荷尔蒙) variations. Reproductive events across a woman’s life are 39 with hormonal changes, which have been linked to anxiety. The rise in oestrogen (雌激素) that occurs during pregnancy can 40 the risk for uncontrollable disorder.This is 41 by disturbing and repetitive thoughts, impulses and addictions that areupsetting and less effective. But in addition to biological mechanisms, women and men seem to experience and react to events in their life 42 . Women tend to be more likely to stress, which can increase their anxiety. Also, when faced with stressful situations, women and men tend to use different coping 43 . Women faced with life stressors are more likely to think about them seriously, which can increase their anxiety, 44 men engage more in active problem-focused coping.Other studies suggest that women are more likely to 45 physical and mental mistreatment than men, and this behavior has been linked to the development of anxiety disorders.31．A．symptom B．depression C．misery D．frightening 32．A．infecting B．stimulating C．capturing D．affecting 33．A．productive B．progressive C．positive D．passive 34．A．adventures B．insurances C．chances D．programs 35．A．conclusion B．attention C．solution D．contribution 36．A．ignorance B．outlook C．discovery D．review 37．A．suffer from B．deal with C．fight against D．result from 38．A．superior B．inferior C．vulnerable D．enormous 39．A．interacted B．associated C．disconnected D．inherited 40．A．challenge B．decline C．eliminate D．increase 41．A．characterized B．confused C．performed D．offended 42．A．equally B．similarly C．differently D．terribly 43．A．shortcuts B．strategies C．standards D．samples 44．A．because B．unless C．if D．while 45．A．experience B．accept C．ignore D．persistIn 1968 a grave dating from about 1100 was uncovered near Hattula, in Finland, Little remained of the occupant’s skeleton, but the inhumation included two swords and a knife. Such grave goods would normally suggest said occupant was a man. The skeleton was, 46 also decorated with brooches (胸针) and woollen clothing of types more usually worn at the time by women. This 47 guess that the burial was actually of a powerful woman, possibly a local ruler in her own right rather than just the wife of a male king.This would be noteworthy enough. But a re-examination of the remains, just publishedin the European Journal of Archaeology by Ulla Moilanen of the University of Turku and Elina Salmela of the University of Helsinki, suggests the truth may be yet more 48 . Ms. Moilanen and Dr Salmela suspect that the individual 49 may have had outward characteristics of both a man and a woman.In 1968 working out the 50 of a skeleton in an ancient grave was tricky. After years of deterioration, the bones of men and women look pretty much 51 . But that was before the use of DNA became possible. So Ms. Moilanen and Dr Salmela thought it worth trying again.Most people have two sex chromosomes (染色体): XX in women and XY in men. Find DNA from a Y-chromosome in a skeleton and the chances are the body was 52 . And, looking at a fragment of femur brought to her by Ms. Moilanen, who is the archaeologist in the 53 , Dr. Salmela, who is the geneticist, did indeed find such DNA．But not much of it. That led her to wonder about contamination (污染), but also to consider whether the individual in the grave had had a(n) 54 X-chromosome that was swamping the signal from the Y.Having an abnormal number of sex chromosomes is rare, but not vanishingly so. The particular 55 XXY leads to what is known as Klinefelter’s syndrome. To determine the occupant’s karyotype (染色体组型) from the tiny amount of DNA available, Dr. Salmela drew 56 with living people. The grave delivered 8,329 pieces, so she used a computer to draw samples of similar size from the genomes of living people with various karyotypes, including XXY, and also from mixtures of both sexes, to 57 contamination. She then compared these with the DNA from the grave and 58 it was 99.75% probable the individual concerned had indeed had Klinefelter’s syndrome.While Dr Salmela was working all this out, Ms. Moilanen and her team had another look at the grave. They confirmed that it was a 59 burial. For instance, they found evidence of fine furs, probably from foxes. Clearly, this was a well-respected human being, but what led to that 60 in a world then dominated by male values is a matter of puzzle. Perhaps the person came from a family powerful enough for such things not to matter. 46．A．therefore B．what’s more C．nevertheless D．for instance 47．A．intensified B．confirmed C．dismissed D．encouraged 48．A．complicated B．engaging C．unpleasant D．frightening 49．A．in question B．at large C．by comparison D．with doubt50．A．composition B．age C．sex D．origin 51．A．distinct B．unidentified C．alike D．broken 52．A．female B．old C．young D．male 53．A．cooperation B．authority C．institute D．adventure 54．A．restored B．extra C．missing D．dominant 55．A．requirement B．interest C．combination D．emphasis 56．A．inspirations B．lessons C．inferences D．comparisons 57．A．eliminate B．monitor C．imitate D．generate 58．A．rejected B．concluded C．recalled D．confessed 59．A．high-status B．secret C．religious D．peaceful 60．A．conclusion B．evidence C．respect D．solution四、阅读理解Earlier this year I took a trip to England and France to go see some friends. It was a wonderful trip; I really loved it. But one thing that struck me was how different these cultures are from our own. I guess this would strike any traveler because that is the first thing you notice and it is what makes travel so exciting. Of course, these cultures are also similar to ours in many respects, but it’s the differences that really stand out.One of the things that struck me in particular was the different attitudes towards smoking. As you know, there’s a growing anti-smoking sentiment in Europe. However, when I went to England and France, I got a new perspective on this issue. People seem to smoke anywhere and everywhere, even though anti-smoking signs are all over public places. On the radio, I heard about a member of the World Cup soccer team who smoked. And people were actually saying, “Well, he should not be on the team because he’s a bad example for our children.” I think, if they want to look at bad examples for their children, they should just go out on the street, or go into the subways, or look in the mirror, even, because so many of them are smoking in very inappropriate places. I visited a restaurant buffet in London and saw an English woman scooping up the food with a lit cigarette in her hand. Smoke rising into the air. Actually, when I talked to English people later, they were pretty shocked too, and they said that smoking in a restaurant is rude even by British standards.This did not give me a bad impression of English people. It gave me, on the contrary, apositive feeling toward American smokers. There are a lot of American smokers who will proclaim their right to smoke whenever they want, but they will follow the rules, generally, because they have consideration for nonsmokers. So this experience in Europe gave me more of a respect for this kind of smoker.61．What surprised the writer during his trip to England and France?A．The wonderful trip to England and France.B．Cultural differences that he noticed during his trip.C．Similarity between cultures stands out more than differences.D．Growing anti-smoking views in Europe.62．What did the speaker find in England and France about the smoking issue?A．People discuss the smoking issue on the radio.B．Smokers are allowed to smoke anywhere and anytime.C．People are encouraged to smoke in inappropriate places.D．Many smokers pay no attention to the “No Smoking” signs.63．The word “sentiment” in the second paragraph means ______.A．feeling B．movement C．offense D．regulation 64．What kind of smokers does the speaker respect?A．Those who are from America and Europe.B．Those who respect others’ feelings.C．Those who defend the right to smoke.D．Those who set rules of smoking in public places.One of the most well-known figures of American history, Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States and the author of the Declaration of Independence. His life was an inspiring one and at the same time a little bit contradictory to his statements and way ofAmerican Sphinx65．If one wants to know Thomas Jefferson’s experience in his whole life, ______ is most highly recommended.A．“Jefferson and His Time”B．“American Sphinx”C．“The Art of Power”D．None of the above66．Having read “American Sphinx”, you may ______.A．learn how Thomas got through his childhood in detailsB．understand why Thomas’ words and deeds were not always matchedC．know how ordinary people criticize or idolize himD．learn how Jefferson formed the world around him and addressed situations 67．One problem about “The Art of Power” is that readers ______.A．may feel bored while they are reading itB．cannot get a complete description of Thomas’ lifeC．learn Thomas’ political life mainly from historians’ perspectiveD．cannot get an objective point of view about Thomas’ giftWhat will the development of quantum computers (量子计算机) mean for our civilizations? Oh sure, better cryptography (密码方式), “more powerful” processing, but bottom line, we just don’t know...yet.This phenomenon isn’t unique to quantum computing, of course. It’s something we see time and again with all new world-changing technology. In some ways, it’s how we can define a technology as world-changing: everyone agrees it’s going to be hugely important, but nobody can predict exactly what impact it will have.The internet remains the classic example. Although invented in the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the internet was still being dismissed as something that is fashionable but unlikely to last. Most commentators thought it nothing more than a curiosity.There’s a famous 1999 interview between David Bowie and BBC journalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bowie predicts that the internet will change the nature of music, and remove the “barriers between creator and audience”. The longer he spoke, the more Paxman said in anger that Bowie could possibly believe this about the internet.To be fair to Paxman, in 1999, internet at home meant accessing it over a modem. Concepts like WeChat and Netflix and more simply could not work over such limited bandwidth. But there were still some people who assumed that bandwidth would increase and that streaming music and video would be possible soon enough. They were laughed at.Oddly enough, as the dot-com boom intensified, many turned from doubters to hopeless optimists, and lost serious money building websites to deliver content that simply couldn’t “fit” down the inter-tubes of the day.Then in the second decade of the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Forget showing a nice little video in your browser, today Netflix can serve you a TV show in 4K, as long as you have 25Mbps connection.Quantum computing isn’t a consumer technology, of course. It’s a much bigger deal than that. Quantum computing is more like the invention of the transistor (电子晶体). Sure, most people have heard of it, but few understand it. Actually, we don’t even really understand it. But we’re reasonably comfortable that when a lab has that many scanning electron microscopes, it must be doing something important, right?Quantum computing is still at the stage of “hit it with a hammer until it works”. Sure the hammer is microscopic, and also a laser or magnetic field of some kind, but the point is we’re going through the process of turning the idea into reality.Sooner than you think, though, qubit-based computers are going to get applied to stuff. What stuff? Like always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will reach the rest of us.This is how the world begins. Not with a bang, but with a lot of extremely hard work behind the scenes.68．What attitude did most people take towards the internet in the 1990s?A．Optimistic.B．Unconcerned.C．Doubtful.D．Defensive. 69．The example of the internet is intended to illustrate that ______.A．it is hard to define what is world-changing technologyB．the internet was universally acknowledged as importantC．the influence of new technology is usually unpredictableD．the internet inspired many debates in the following years70．By “hit it with a hammer until it works”, the writer means that quantum computing______.A．has been questioned B．has been fully understoodC．hasn’t been heard of before D．hasn’t been applied to practice 71．What can be concluded about new technology from the passage?A．Its development is a gradual process.B．Most is the brainchild of a scientist.C．Not all is accessible to the public.D．Its future is often a top secret.五、六选四Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given behind. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Living off gridWhen you need electricity, you just plug in the machine and switch it on. If you need water, you turn on the tap. 72 For many people, these facilities are the basics of civilized society and the idea of living without them seems risky. Yet for a growing number of people, the idea of living off grid — without electricity, water or sewage — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle.Off-gridders do not have to give up electricity or a modern lifestyle — some choose to, but most use small hydroelectric power systems, solar panels or windmills to generate enough power for their needs. Heating and cooking needs are met by solar energy or wood burning systems, and toilet facilities range from non-water toilets to outside compost toilets. 73 It ranges from traditional yurts (a type of tent) to luxury house with high-speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple homes or luxury houses, what they all have in common is that their lifestyles do not create any pollution or carbon emissions — the ultimate goal for off-gridders.Around 100,000 people are thought to be living off grid in the UK now. 74 They grow their own food, home-school their children and provide their own medical care. They are people who have been priced out of the housing market or who have grown disillusioned with what modern society can offer and who decides that an alternative lifestyle isn’t a pipe dream, but a viable option.A part from living an alternative lifestyle, cost is a big factor in choosing to live off-grid. Off-grid houses are far cheaper to build than ordinary homes since they don’t need to be connected to the electricity or water supplies and even road access is not necessary. Materials tend to be cheaper, too. Popular options include straw or old tyres and cement.Surprisingly, the biggest problem off-gridders face is not building their homes or becoming self-sufficient but getting permission to build. Rural areas away from town are the perfect choice but these are often protected by law from construction of any kind or have building restrictions. There are now several websites dedicated to land-sharing so that the costs of buying land and getting permission can be shared, and there are increasing numbers of off-grid communities. 75 Off-gridding could soon be common all over Europe and America.A．Many are self-sufficient, not just providing their own electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects.B．After you use the toilet, you flush it and the waste disappears.C．This shift from individual to group off-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is growing noticeably.D．They live in a huge variety of types of accommodation.E．Living off-grid still has a long way to go before it becomes a mainstream way of living.F．Rather than building permanent homes, vans or mobile homes or even old shipping containers are other options.六、用单词的适当形式完成短文Directions: Fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given verbs.Robot Chef Learns to Twirl (旋转) Pizza Like a ProPizza has a proud history of fueling late-night lab work, and scientists in Naples—an Italian city famous for its pizza—have easy access to some of the world’s tastiest take-out. But what inspires engineer Bruno Siciliano is not that first bite 76 much as how the dish is made.“Preparing a pizza involves an extraordinary level of agility and dexterity (敏捷和灵巧),” says Siciliano, who directs a robotics research group at the University of Naples Federico Ⅱ.Stretching a deformable object like a lump of dough (面团) requires an accurate and gentle touch. It is one of the few things humans can handle, but robots cannot—yet.Siciliano’s team 77 (develop) a robot able to make a pizza pie. RoDyMan (short for Robotic Dynamic Manipulation) is a five-year project 78 (support) by a €2.5-million grant from the European Research Council. Like a human chef, RoDyMan must throw the dough into the air to stretch it, 79 (follow) it as it spins and anticipating how it will change shape.RoDyMan has been working this spring toward a milestone: stretching the dough 80 tearing it. To guide the robot, Siciliano’s team asked master pizza chef Enzo Coccia to wear a suit of movement-tracking sensors. “We learn [Coccia’s] motions, and we copy them with RoDyMan,” Sciliano says.RoDyMan uses visual sensors in its head to track the dough in real time. Using software, it can train 81 to handle the pizza like a chef would. The robot 82 (map) the dough’s position and tracks how it moves. Through practice, the robot 83 get better—much like humans develop “muscle memory.” Researchers hope RoDyMan’s technology can lead to a new generation of robots that will perform tasks in ways 84 are accurate and responsive, if not more lifelike.Yet Siciliano admits that 85 compares with a traditional chef. “I would never eat a pizza made by a robot,” he says. “It would not have the taste a real pizzaiolo, with his soul, would put in it.”Directions: Fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given verbs.Talking to your therapist over Zoom is as helpful for anxiety and depression as going to in-person therapy. The virtual session, moreover, can be delivered at lower costs, according to a new study conducted in the U.K.Online therapy has become more and more prevalent since the COVID pandemic, 86 lockdowns forced lots of therapists online. The new study suggests that one of the biggest benefits of virtual therapy 87 be that it can allow people to get treatment faster, which increases their quality of life and reduces the amount of additional medical care they require.“The actual cost of mental health care doesn’t come from treating these conditions 88 from not treating them,” says co-author Ana Catarino.Questions emerge about 89 to deliver mental health interventions online best. Catarino and her team compared ieso’s Internet-delivered CBT, which featured a therapist working one-on-one with patients through a text chat, 90 the other services for anxiety and depression offered by the NHS, which covered a variety of therapies.The findings showed that online therapy was 91 (effective) than the other forms of care. What was most interesting was why. The researchers found that patients who were offered the therapist-guided CBT program got treatment faster. As a result, their quality of life improved more quickly, and they used fewer other medical services.The paper is likely to “make a big splash” because the authors showed that the success of the virtual CBT program was linked to the fact that it provided patients with a therapist’s guidance every step of the way.It’s not surprising that virtual therapy works well, says Haim Weinberg, a licensed psychologist. Studies outside the U.K. have found the same, he says. But there is still some bias 92 virtual therapy as somehow second-best, and there are not yet many 93 (establish) training programs to get mental health professionals comfortable with providing care online.Virtual care won’t be right for every person, but the new study’s results suggest the need to expand access 94 patients aren’t left waiting for help. These findings stress the importance of developing clinical interventions that 95 (prove) to be effective and that can be used at scale to match the demand we know.七、汉译英（整句）96．这家餐馆规定，每季度更换一次菜单，以吸引更多顾客。

Each wordYunnan Province, covering an area of 394,000 square kilometers, combines unique ethnic cultures, magnificent mountain scenery, rainforest, tea plantations, ancient towns and delicious food. Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La are always on the bucket list to those who haven’t been to Yunnan before.In the courtyard of her restaurant in Xishuangbanna, Su Ying is preparing to give me a cooking lesson. But she has no pots and pans. Instead, she is going to cook the food in banana leaves and tubes of fresh bamboo on a small fire under an iron tripod in a corner of the yard.Su 33 a mixture of wild vegetables with lemongrass and chili and wraps them up in banana leaves. She seasons sliced beef with chili herbs and spices and puts it into a tube of freshly cut bamboo. Another tube is filled with a more exotic delicacy: live bamboo worms, which she mixes with herbs and spices. Su then thrusts the tubes into the fire.Even to many Chinese, Yunnan seems exotic. Its remoteness 34 it much of the overdevelopment and pollution. The province is a global hotspot of biodiversity and boasts a 35 wide range of local ingredients. Most famously, the summer mushroom season 36 some 300 varieties of edible(可食用的) fungi, including delicacies such as savory matsutake(松茸). There are countless wild plants and plenty of bugs and grubs.On my trips to the province over the years I have dined on toasted barley flourand 37 cups of yak butter tea (酥油茶) in a town now known as Shangri-la.

Here in Xishuangbanna. I was tasting the sour and hot 38 and fresh herbs of the tropical south.No one restaurant or chef could represent Yunnan. There is no single overarching Yunnan cuisine, but a selection of overlapping ones.

In an age when people can sample delicacies from 41 anywhere in the world without even having to leave home,Yunnan 42 us that for a real taste of local culinary culture, sometimes you just have to go to the source.Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each wordModern media is awash in advertising clutter(杂乱), and who’s to blame? Modern audiences that hate conventional full-length and full-size ads.Today’s consumers don’t like to pay for content, which ought to create a rich environment for advertisers. Yet these same consumers are prone to click or turn away when a conventional ad appears. The result is ad clutter.YouTube 43 a combination of full-length ads, skippable ads, lower-screen banners and display ads on the page alongside each video. Newspapers that once considered the front page important now 44 run ads there.Advertisers integrate plugs(推销) into content to frustrate digital video recorders, which allow viewers to watch programs on a delay and skip regular commercials. If you watch regional telecasts of baseball games, the commercial clutter is so 45 . Ads are visible on the stadium wall behind the home-plate umpire(裁判). On-screen graphics include sponsor logos. And everything is a paid plug--“This call to the coach’s zone is brought to you by Verizon.”According to the showbiz paper Variety, several streaming services are about to introduce a new twist: commercials that start running whenever a viewer pauses a program. Hulu intends to launch such ads this year. AT&T’s DirecTV and U-verse units will 46 use similar technology to trigger full-motion commercials whenever a viewer tries to take a break.There’s a lot at stake. According to Variety, Nati onal Football League(NFL) TV broadcasts generate an estimated $4.35 billion in ad revenue during the 17-week regularseason. NFL 47 are now loaded with mini commercials that pop up when there is a brief pause in the action, often in “double boxes” t hat show a view of the field in one frame and a(n) 48 in the other.Interestingly, with no “screen” to work with, radio is one medium that has tried for some time to buck the trend. Many commercial stations trade clutter for clusters--that is, a solid block of commercials running five minutes or more, followed by lengthy commercial-free 49 of time.But wherever a screen is involved, or a printed page, ad clutter is 50 everywhere. Programmers and advertisers can’t really be expected to limit this; it’s a fact of business. Consumers, on the other hand, can opt for commercial-free content--if they’re willing to pay for it.But getting limitless content without paying while also being 51 heavy advertising intrusions is impossible. As media environment is permanently cluttered, audiences should be 52 with what they wish for.三、完形填空Will we get into the school of our choice? What will we be doing in ten years’ time? Can we become the person we really want to be? In the face of such questions, how should we 53 the future? Can we take action to shape it, or should we just accept whatever comes our way? As many of us already know, having plans in place for the future is no guarantee that they will become reality. In this 54 , some people are more fortunate than others, as can be illustrated by comparing the lives of two famous authors, born 40 years 55 . Although they shared the same energetic attitude to life, their careers unfolded in 56 ways.The American author, Ernest Hemingway, born in 1899, was from early boyhood single-minded in his ambition to write. On leaving high school, he joined a local Kansas newspaper as a trainee 57 . He went on to become foreign reporter for the Toronto Star and used his extraordinary experiences in Europe and later Cuba to 58 his writing. In his words, “I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about.” Having set himself this goal, he wrote novels and short stories based on his personal experiences of the First World War, bullfighting and deep-sea fishing, amongst others. His novel The Old Man and the Sea, centering on an aging fishermanwho 59 an epic battle to catch a giant marlin, was 60 the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1953.61 , the young Arthur Conan Doyle, born in Scotland in 1859, had originally worked as a doctor. But Doyle’s main ambition was to become a writer of historicalnovels. Although some of his historical novels were published, theirsuccess 62 compared to the stories of his fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, which he is still best known for to this day.Interestingly, Doyle wrote some of his early Holmes stories while he was waiting for patients in his medical 63 in London. After Sherlock Holmes made him a household name, Doyle gave up medicine and devoted himself entirely to writing. In fact, he longed for fame as a historical novelist. The public, however, couldn’t 64 Sherlock Holmes. In desperation, Doyle 65 the famous detective in a novel published in 1893 so that he could focus on his “serious” writing. 66 , fans of Holmes were so angry that Doyle, under immense pressure, was forced to bring Holmes back from the dead. Doyle’s many historical novels, plays, poems and academic papers have remained largely forgotten, but Sherlock Holmes has been 67 readers for well over a century.53.A．draw B．approach C．receive D．reverse54.A．respect B．prospect C．perception D．effect55.A．ahead B．across C．ago D．apart56.A．contrasting B．mechanical C．miserable D．similar 57.A．correspondent B．secretary C．researcher D．editor 58.A．modify B．affect C．inform D．notify59.A．runs away from B．enrolls in C．loosens up D．engages in 60.A．comprised B．awarded C．represented D．rewarded61.A．In addition B．By contrast C．Either way D．In a nutshell 62.A．went beyond itself B．was on thedeclineC．amounted tonothingD．drew fame andfortune63.A．practice B．drill C．care D．business64.A．put up with B．be in favor of C．leave behind D．get enough of 65.A．held back B．killed off C．closed off with D．beat back66.A．Therefore B．Likewise C．However D．Instead67.A．addressing B．annoying C．enlightening D．entertaining四、阅读理解Artificial intelligence will be either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity.——Stephen HawkingMillenniumbutterflyThanks to AI, I’ve got my own super-smart personal assistant built into my phone. She always has an immediate answer for any question I put to her, and even uses my answers to learn more about my preferences.And speaking of hanging out, I’m hoping that s elf-driving cars are available soon. Self-driving cars can learn to drive in the same way that we do, and can make informed judgments. And as they won’t be susceptible to human error, they’ll be a lot safer. I do think that developments in AI will on the whole make doing day-to-day things a lot easier. PopkidThe technology you’re using and enjoying today is a basic form of AI which can’t think independently without programming. Of course, it could be very useful to have a more advanced form of AI — a truly independent form of artificial intelligence, capableof exercising its own judgement, could help us solve many of the world’s problems. But have you ever thought about the risks? After all, why would an independent form of AI need to consider the opinio ns and desires of humans? We could be seen as a “small” inconvenience that’s in the way of a solution to a bigger problem. If we’re lucky, AI might think we’re valuable enough to keep around. What if they don’t?Even if that doesn’t happen, there are othe r risks. Millenniumbutterfly, self-driving cars are seemingly great, but what about all the taxi drivers who would lose their jobs? They would just be among the first victims of AI. Nearly every job is potentially at risk in the long run. Even journalists are now being replaced with technology that can write basic news reports.The truth is that none of us is prepared for the challenges of AI.Pink_hazeMachine learning is something we have come to accept as a part of our modern world. I believe most of the value of AI lies in its capacity to analyse and interpret vast amounts of data, which means it can even solve problems that are too challenging for human experts.But while super-intelligent AI could be the biggest leap forward in human history, if it goes wrong or falls into the wrong hands, it could also be the most baneful. However, AI is not going to go away. We have no choice but to accept it and regulate it. One thing I think we all agree on, though, is that saying “My AI did it!” won’t be any ex cuse for illegal or immoral behaviour!68. If a traveller always has a hard time looking for a proper restaurant to dine in, whose opinion is he likely to agree with?A．Millenniumbutterfly B．Popkid C．Pink_haze D．None of them 69.

Girls and boys have similar brains and are equally able when it comes to understanding maths, according to the study published in the journal Science of Learning.[2] The research involved 104 children aged between 3 and 10 years old, 55 of whom were girls. The kids watched an educational video featuring maths concepts such as counting and addition, while the scientists charted their brain activity using an MRI scanner. The team then compared all the scan results, with which the researchers could compare the brain activity of the children to adults. The team asked 38 men and 25 women to watch the same videos in the scanner. According to the data, there was no difference between the children’s brain functions or development. And the boys and girls appeared to be equally tuned into the videos.[3] The authors wrote the figures suggest “girls and boys showed statistically equivalent levels of neural maturity throughout the brain, suggesting that the neural processing of mathematics develops at similar rates in boys and girls,” they wrote.[4] “Limited e vidence for intrinsic, biological gender differences in mathematics ability has fueled debate about the underrepresentation of girls and women in STEM fields” the authors said.[5] Jessica Cantlon, professor of developmental neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University and senior author of the paper, commented in a statement: “Science doesn’t align with folk beliefs. We see that children’s brains function similarly regardless of their gender so hopefully we can adjust expectations of what children can achieve in mathematics.”[6] “However, typical socialization can exacerbate small differences between boys and girls that can snowball into how we treat them in science and maths. We need to be cognizant of these origins to ensure we aren’t the ones causing the gender inequities.”[7] Alyssa Kersey, the first author, said: “It’s not just that boys and girls are using the maths network in the same ways but that similarities were evident across the entire brain. This is an important reminder that humans are more similar to each other than we are different. Earlier this year, a separate team of researchers concluded girls would score better in maths and science tests if exams were made longer. The scientists found female students are better at sustaining their performance over a long period and argue this should be regarded as a skill.”[8] Co-author Oosterveen said: “Our study also documents a female strength in test-taking that has largely been ignored and that deserves recognition. Gender differences in test performance in maths and science have generally been perceived as a female weakness. The findings in this study could serve as a counterbalance to the gender stereotypes shaped by this perception.75. Which of the following can be a replacement word for the underlined word “debunked” in paragraph 1?A．supported B．disproved C．delighted D．distinguished76. What is the author’s main purpose by making the statement in Para. 4?A．To illustrate a generally accepted scientific findings from their recent study.B．To explain why girls and women are underrepresented in many STEM fields.C．To emphasize the widely held gender difference isn’t scientifically grounded.D．To argue for more favorable policy to support women and girls in STEM fields77. What do these “origins” (Para. 6) refer to?A．The snowball effect that can worsen the situation.B．Small differences between boys and girls.C．Gender inequities that are common in STEM field.D．How we treat the gender distinctions in science.78. Which one of the following is NOT true about the study conducted by Alyssa’s team? A．Girls are likely to make a better performance in longer maths and science tests. B．Girls and boys showed similar brain functions while watching an educational video about maths.C．The findings could be used to argue against the commonly believed gender stereotypes.D．MRI scanner was used so the researchers were able to record information about their brain activity.五、六选四Dieting? How Colors Impact Food Appeal and Appetite Have you ever suddenly developed an appetite from a passing glance at a freeway billboard featuring a brightly colored cheeseburger, or decided to step into a candy or ice cream store displaying a window full of vibrant shades and hues (颜色) of sweet treats?If so, you are in good company. 79Beverages are showcased in the same fashion. As evidenced by the neon, tropical blue mixture prominently featured on the cover of the cocktail menu, bright colors are appealing and appetizing. Dull hues are not. When was the last time you got excited about a food that was grey? You probably eat oatmeal because you know it is good for you; not because you find it visually appealing.80 Devina Wadhera and Elizabeth D. Capaldi-Phillips in “A Review of Visual Cues Asso ciated with Food” (2014) demonstrate how visual cues impacts eating behavior.In addition to taste, cues include odor, texture, flavor, and appearance—which is the initial food cue because our eyes provide our first contact with potential edibles.Wadhera and Capaldi-Phillips cite prior research in providing some interesting examples of the visual impact of different color schemes on taste and food enjoyment. 81 And hot chocolate in a red cup was rated as more enjoyable than when it was served in a white cup. Consider this the next time you are served a piece of birthday cake, or over the holidays when you are enjoying warm beverages served in holiday-themed mugs.What about when you are thirsty? Wadhera and Capaldi-Phillips note that beverages served in blue glasses have been rated as more thirst quenching (解渴的) than when served in yellow, red, or green glasses. 82So given the rainbow of colors swirling around us when faced with so many inviting food choices, is there any way to control our inclination to indulge?Oliver Genschow et al. (2012) demonstrated that when it comes to eating less, colors impact consumption. They specifically researched the effect of the color red, which they note has been shown to prompt avoidance motivation in other contexts. Within the context of eating, they found that people ate fewer pretzels (脆饼干) when using a red plate, as opposed to white or blue, and drank less from a red cup than a blue cup. They suggest that the color red reduces food and beverage intake by functioning as a subconscious stop signal.A．Apparently, we consume with more of our senses than we consciously realize. B．They recognize the impact of sensory cues on promoting good eating behavior in both children and adults.C．Unless we are medically restricted or diligently dieting, we are not likely to give up appetizing food simply because we recognize the lack of nutritional value.D．They note that pink food on a white plate was perceived as sweeter and more flavorful than the same food on a black plate.E．Healthy eating involves intentional choices, not mindless responses to sensory stimuli.F．Research confirms the fact that when it comes to taste and sensation, colors matter.六、用单词的适当形式完成短文Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.

Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger 46 , estimated that in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger supported by W.W.F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves were created, with armed guards protecting them.The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the 47and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and q. kms, 48 its age, size and strength. The territory of male includes the smaller territories of three or four tigresses. A tiger marks the boundaries of its territories by spraying urine andother bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to 49 territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers.Tigers fight to 50 only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigressfrom the attentions of other males.The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of ictims it tries to attack.Fears have recently 51 that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger populationly it is 750 millionto double (by mid-80s), but India’s human population has also grown out of control.

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)The small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan, which means Double Income No Kids.In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3,000,000 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. Whateducation is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten more, if they want to have a child, the child’scharges are at least $5,000 a year. In such a situation, it’s difficult to afford children.The number of married women who want to continue working increases because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children and keeping their jobs. Ina word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.74. What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?A.The small number of newborn babies.B.The changing social situation of women.C.The high prices of houses and education.D.The necessary steps of Asian government.75. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. It is easy for a couple to afford a child in Asia.B. The prices of houses in Asia are quite low now.C. Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job.n country.D. The word “DINKS” appeared in an Asia76. To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten, how much will a couple pay each year?A. $5,000B. $5,900C. $10,800D. $15,80077. It seems to be believed that Asian governments should .A. let women stay at home and have a babyB. allow one of the parents to go out to workC. care for the growing needs of women for jobsD. punish the companies that permit women to leave(B)The Diet Zone: A Dangerous PlaceDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet…We are surrounded by the word “diet”　everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products thatwe have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie,unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale instead. Allwe have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink,we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physicalharm they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorieonly because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buyingthem. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will bemuch better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.78. From Paragraph 1, we learn that .A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products79. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to .A. try out a variety of diet foodsB. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. watch their weight rather than their diet.80. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably meansA. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories81. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products .A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy(C)When it comes to health, the poor are doubly cursed. Not only are they more prone to deadly infectiousdiseases than the rich, but they have far less access to the means of improvement. Twenty years ago, Paul Farmer,an American doctor and anthropologist, set out to do something about this. Amid the political turmoil and povertyof rural Haiti, he created a community-based health care system called Zanmi Lasante, or Partners in Health. It notonly delivers appropriate, affordable medical treatment to thousands of poor people, but goes beyond the clinic toaddress the social causes making them sick and keeping them from getting better.As Dr. Farmer argues, improving the health of the poor is not just a medical challenge, but a question ofoppresshuman rights. Dealing with the inequality, racism, sexism and other forms of “structural violencethe poor is as critical as extending the drugs. Or as his Haiti patients put it, medicine without food is like washingone’s hands and drying them in the dirt.Unfortunately, Dr. Farmer’s powerful message is often weakened by his book’s academic tone. It does,however, scream out in passages describing the human face of “structural violence”. It is these pers that make Dr. Farmer’s anger at such “stupid deaths” so compelling.motives and methods are better described in Mountains Beyond Mountains. This The good doctor’sbiography by Tracy Kidder traces Dr. Farmer from his unusual upbringing and education, shuttling between theshacks of central Haiti and the halls of Harvard Medical School, to his later work around the world. Though wellbook also makes for uncomfortable reading. The author is clearly close to his subject,written, Mr. Kidder’shaving traveled with Dr. Farmer from the green poverty of Haiti to the tubercular whiteness of Russia. Too close,perhaps. The biographer seems to be seeking his subject’s approval, rather than the other way round. Mr. Kidder writes, rather disturbingly, about his fear of disappointing Dr. Farmer, his own pain at wounding him with acritical remark and his relief at the doctor’s forgiveness.health falls, this dependence becomes more intense. But rather than compromise the When Mr. Kidder’sbook’s equity, this intimacy serves to highlight Dr. Farmer’s admirable, yet ultimately irritating, character.to make anyone feel comfortable, except those lucky enough to beKidder observes, “Farmer wasn’t put on earthhis patients or those unlucky enough to need him.”82. What makes the “Partners in Health” system different from traditional hospital?A.It makes attempts to help the poor on a social level.B.It is aimed at treating poor people for free.C.It is designed to help the poor rise from poverty.D.It offers community help to those who are poor.83. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph?A.Hands should not be dried in the dirt after washing.B.Medicine is also needed for cleaning hands.C.Medicine is not a long term cure to their poor health.D.Food can cure their disease better than any medicine.84. The disadvantage of Dr. Farmer’s book seems to be that .A.the plots in the book are not attractive enoughB.the way he tells the stories is not compelling enoughC.the anger he expresses at “stupid deaths” is too strongD.the tone is not strong enough to arouse people’s attention?85. Why does Mr. Kidder’s book also make for uncomfortable readingA.Mr. Kidder himself has never been involved in Dr. Farmer’s life.B.Mr. Kidder is afraid of making true comments on Dr. Farmer.C.Mr. Kidder’s emotions prevent him from independent writing.D.Mr. Kidder is always waiting for Dr. Farmer’s forgiveness.86. According to the last paragraph we can infer that .A.Dr. Farmer only helped those who are lucky enoughB.Dr. Farmer may have severely criticized the societyC.Dr. Farmer was not actually making his patients comfortableableD.Dr. Farmer’s job is not to make people comfort(D)When global warming finally came, it stuck with a vengeance. In some regions, temperatures rose severaldegrees in less than a century. Sea levels shot up nearly 400 feet, flooding coastal settlements and forcing peopleto migrate inland. Deserts spread throughout the world as vegetation shifted drastically in North America, Europeand Asia. After driving many of the animals around them to near extinction, people were forced to give up theirold way of life for a radically new survival strategy that caused widespread starvation and disease. The adaptationwas farming: the global-warming crisis that gave rise to it happened more than 10,000 years ago.As environments convene in Rio de Janeiro this week to ponder the global climate of the future, earthscientists are in the midst of a revolution in understanding how climate has changed in the past – and how thosechanges have changed human existence. Researchers have begun to piece together an illuminating picture of thepowerful geological and astrono mical forces that have combined to change the planet’s environment from hot cold, wet to dry and back again over a time period stretching back hundreds of millions of years.Most importantly, scientists are beginning to realize that the climatic changes have had a major effect on theevolution of the human species. New research now suggests that climate changes have played a key role in nearlyevery significant turning point in human evolution: from the dawn of primates some 65 million years ago tohuman ancestors rising up to walk on two legs, from the huge expansion of the human brain to the rise of agriculture. Indeed, the human history has not been merely touched by global climate change, some scientistsargue, it has in some instances been driven by it.The new research has profound implications for the environmental summit in Rio. Among other things, thefindings demonstrate that dramatic climate change is nothing new for planet Earth. The good global environmentthat has existed over the past 10,000 years – during which agriculture, writing, cities and most other features ofcivilization appeared – is a mere bright spot in a much larger pattern of widely varying climate over the ages. Infact, the pattern of climate change in the past shows that Eart h’s climate will almost certainly go through dramaticchanges in the future – even without the influence of human activity.87. Farming came out as a survival strategy because man had been required .A.to give up his former way of lifeB.to leave the coastal areasC.to follow the ever-shifting vegetationD.to give up his original settlement88. Earth scientists have come to understand that climate .A.is going through a fundamental changeB.has been getting warmer for 10,000 yearsC.will eventually change from hot to coldD.has gone through periodical changes89. Scientists believe that human evolution .A.has seldom been accompanied by climatic changesB.has exerted little influence on climatic changesC.has largely been affected by climatic changesD.has had a major effect on climatic changes90. Evidence of past climatic changes indicates that .A.human activities have accelerated changes of Earth’s environmentB.Earth’s environment will remain mild despite human interferenceC.Earth’s climate is bound to change significantly i n the futureD.Earth’s climate is unlikely to undergo substantial changes in the futureSection C (1’ * 5 = 5’）Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list for each paragraph. Thereis one extra heading which you do not need.A. A general sleep ruleB.The importance of sleepC. A funny sleeping exampleD.Different levels of sleepE.The time we need for sleepAB. Different states of sleep91.Sleep, as we know, is important to us because it helps restore tired organs and tissues in our body. But how much sleep do we actually need?92.For most of us, eight hours seems to be about the right amount. Yet we know that there are a great manypeople who get along perfectly with less sleep and some who may even need more. A great deal depends on theway we live. But a good general rule to follow is to sleep as long as we have to in order to feel happy and be ableto work at our best when we are awake.93.There are actually different levels of sleep. There is a deep sleep and a shallow sleep. In a shallow sleep ourbody does not get the same kind of rest as it gets in a deep sleep, so that after eight hours of a shallow sleep wemay still feel tired. But a short deep sleep can be very restful.94.Alexander the Great was able to get a deep sleep whenever he needed it. Once, during the night before animportant battle, he remained awake longer than anyone else. Then he wrapped himself in a cloak and lay downon the earth. He slept so deeply that his generals had to wake him three times to give command to attack!95.Normally when we go to sleep, our “sleep center” blocks off nerves so that both our brain and our body go t sleep. One prevents us from wanting to do anything and the other makes our internal organs and limbs go to sleep.But someone will fall asleep (brain sleep) and keep on marching, because his body is not asleep!第Ⅱ卷IV.
