friend Lilly and I were on the way back to home from school when we saw a boy fall off his bicycles． The boy lay on the ground， screamed in pain．We rushed to help and found if the boy's left leg was bleeding．It happened that we have learned some knowledge about first aid before，so we knew how we should do． We dialed"120"and called an ambulance．While waiting ∧it， I took out my handkerchief and pressed them onto the bleeding point． Then we rolled the boy onto one side but put him in the recovery position．We stayed with him until the ambulance arrived 5 minutes late．详解：1．去掉to，考查副词，home为副词，前面不加介词．2．bicycles改为bicycle，考查名词的数，指那个男孩的自行车，是一辆，所以用单数名词．3．screamed改为screaming，考查现在分词，scream和句子主语之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语．4．if改为that或去掉if，考查宾语从句，从句为完整句子，不缺少成分，所以用that 引导，that可以省略．5．have改为had，考查时态，表示过去的过去，所以用过去完成时态．6．how改为what，考查宾语从句，在从句中作宾语，表示"什么"，所以用what引导．7．it前面加for，考查动词，wait为不及物动词，后跟宾语，需要加for．8．them改为it，考查人称代词，指代handkerchief，所以用it．9．but改为and，考查连词，前后句意是并列关系，所以用and连接．10．late改为later，考查副词，放在一段时间后面，表示"一段时间后"用later．【解析】本文讲述我和莉莉在放学回家路上，发现一个从自行车上跌下来的男孩受伤了，我们紧急处理，并拨打120．1先通读全文．认真阅读短文，在做题之前确保已经弄清原文大意．注意文章中上下文的逻辑关系是否正确，时态、人称、主谓、指代等是否一致．2．聚焦出题热点、综合运用所学语言知识，分句（注意以句子为单位而不是以行为单位）对不同的错误情况进行分析和回答（即改词、加词或减词）．3．再次通读全文，校对自己的改正是否正确．一般各种改错的方式都应该用到，如果出现了某一种改法（如加词、减词等）没有用到，要考虑自己的改错应该有问题，要对刚才不是很有把握的行进行推敲．在自己认为正确的行后划勾，并且校对其他行改正的符号是否准确，大小写是否拼写正确（这点同学们很容易忽视）．如果某一行有两种改错方式要推敲哪一种是最佳改法．32.【答案】Dear

visit the city every year certainly aren't helping．Locals have complained that tourism，including cruise ships，is responsible for increased pollution in the city．Venice has implemented strict rules regarding tourism：littering，engaging in horseplay，not wearing a shirt in public，leaving love locks，and writing on or damaging trees or buildings are all fineable offenses in the city．Barcelona，SpainLocals in Barcelona aren't shy about their dislike for tourists．Popular attractions have even changed their rules as a result of tourist activity．La Boqueria，a large public market，banned tourist groups of more than 15 people in 2015．Before the ban，large groups of vacationers often blocked foot traffic while taking photographs，according to The Telegraph．Santorini，GreeceSantorini is a beautiful island off the coast of Greece．It's often packed with tourists during the summer．In fact，due to the seasonal influx （涌入）of tourists，the island imposed a rule limiting visitors from cruise ships to 8，000 per day．790，000 people from 636 cruise ships visited Santorin in 2015，according to Conde Nast Traveler，while the entire island only has a population of just over 15，000．Amsterdam，the NetherlandsAmsterdam has long been a popular vacation destination for party﹣loving travelers．In response to a rise in tourism，the city has put restrictions on Airbnb so that a rental listing cannot have more than four people at a time，and that tourists cannot keep the rental apartments for more than 60 days a year．（1）According to this passage，for which behaviour will the tourists be fined？．A．Blocking foot traffic in BarcelonaB．Wearing a shirt in public in SantoriniC．Buying a love lock in AmsterdamD．Damaging a tree in Venice（2）If you are going to rent an apartment in Amsterdam as a tourist，how long can you keep it within a year at most？A．A year．B．One month．C．Two months．D．A season．（3）What do these tourist attractions have in common？A．These places have been popular all year around．B．Rules have been set or changed regarding tourism．C．Local people use violence against tourists．D．The number of tourists has decreased a little．12．（8分）The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said，"Every child is an artist．The problem he has is how to remain an artist once he grows up．"This is both encouraging and discouraging．The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly exciting，and yet the reality has proven that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed．Fortunately，some people have seen the problem and want to solve it．Western educators have suggested that we introduce the concept of "STEAM" instead of "STEM" ﹣traditional "core majors" including science，technology，engineering，and math ﹣since the "A"，which stands for "arts"，is just as important．And on April 11，China's Ministry of Education issued a guideline．Colleges and universities are required to provide more art﹣related courses and students need to earn a certain number of art credits in order to graduate．These efforts came after many scientific studies had found that art education helps students develop self﹣confidence and teamwork skills，as well as habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking，according to The Washington Post．It's true that none of these skills target specific jobs．But as former US ballet dancer Damian Woetzel told The Atlantic，the purpose of art is "to give kids the tools to become adults who are creative，adaptable，and expressive ﹣capable of having their eyes and ears and senses alive"．And we can now see how we lost track of our born "artist self" on our way to growing up：We failed to keep our capabilities to see，hear and feel，and became blind，deaf and insensitive adults．Hopefully，art education can help turn things around．（1）What is the function of the first paragraph？A．To introduce a famous artist．B．To summarize the whole passage．C．To lead in the topic．D．To encourage us to be artists．（2）Why should the concept of "STEAM" be introduced according to western educators？A．Art is as important as traditional "core majors"．B．All of us should learn art in college．C．Traditional "core majors" are out of date．D．Western education is more helpful．（3）What can we predict from the guideline issued by China's Ministry of education？A．More art﹣related courses will appear in all schools．B．College students will have to gain enough art credits to graduate．C．More students will major in art at colleges and universities．D．Art will become much more important than science．（4）What is the best title of the passage？A．Every child is an artistB．Bringing art to lifeC．Learning from the artistsD．Life is art13．（8分）Most new runners assume that the best way to improve is simply to run greater and greater distances．While it's true that going farther and faster will improve your runningskills，most coaches and trainers will advise some level of strength training as well．Focusing on your core is a common suggestion．A recent study seems to back this up．In the Journal of Biomechanics，researchers investigated a symptom that has long confused runners from beginners to experienced ones．A good number of runners，14 percent to be exact，experience gradual lower back pain．The results of the new study seem to suggest that weak deep core muscles might be to blame．When these muscles aren't strong enough，the study found，muscles on other areas of the body kick in to keep the runner up﹣right，eventually leading to back pain．To understand the role that these muscles play，the researchers had eight volunteers with minimal running experience run along an indoor track．High﹣speed cameras and 3D motion detectors analyzed which muscles moved，and how much．Once they created a working computer model for each runner，the scientists imitated what would happen if certain deep muscles were weaker，or shut off completely．As it turns out，when a person can't use their deep core muscles very well，their bodies still want （and need）to maintain a good running form，and uses surface muscles to do so．What's wrong with that？A muscle is a muscle，right？Not exactly．While the surface muscles are often targeted in workouts ﹣they give you a six﹣pack （六块腹肌），after all ﹣they are pretty useless when it comes to supporting your spine （脊柱）．The deeper core muscles，which essentially lie beneath and can't be seen from the outside，do all the heavy spinal lifting．It's important to note that even when you've made these muscles super strong，you won't likely notice visible results．But they will probably help you run better and definitely help prevent potential back pain．Perhaps throwing a nice long plank （平板支撑）may work．（1）Why do most new runners want to run farther and faster？A．Because they think it can improve running skills．B．Because some coaches and trainers advise them to do so．C．Because a recent study proves it to be helpful．D．Because it's a kind of useful strength training．（2）What does the new study show us when people do the running？A．14 percent of the runners have weak muscles．B．The muscles on other areas lead to back pain．C．Strong deep core muscles can prevent back pain．D．The beginning runners usually have weak core muscles．（3）What happens when people do the running？A．A working computer model can be created．B．Certain deep muscles become weaker．C．They use both deep and surface muscles．D．Deep core muscles probably function first．（4）What can we infer from the text？A．Doing a long plank can benefit the runners．B．The spine is supported by the deep muscles．C．Training the six﹣pack is useless．D．Super strong muscles can't be seen．14．（8分）For two centuries，the famous University of Cambridge debating society has hosted many outstanding figures，from world leaders to scientists to comedians．On Nov 21，2019，the Cambridge Union hosted its first﹣ever non﹣human guest．Designed by IBM，Project Debater is a machine that uses Artificial Intelligence （AI）to form a spoken argument．It can even listen to and answer opposing statements，much likea real person．Speaking with a voice similar to Siri，Project Debater uses AI to search journals，newspapers and other information sources．It then filters out useless information，picks the strongest arguments，and arranges them into a persuasive argument．In the Cambridge test debate，it argued the topic：AI will do more harm than good in the long term．According to IBM，it is the first machine that can debate complicated topics with humans．Before the debate，more than 1，100 arguments for the positives and negatives of AI were submitted to the IBM website．The machine then analyzed these sources and formed the basis of its arguments in minutes．Project Debater then showed off its AI by arguing for both sides of the debate．Over a four﹣minute speech，it argued first that，"AI can only make decisions that it has been programmed to solve，while humans can be programmed for all situations．"In support of AI，it then argued that AI would create new jobs and "bring a lot more efficiency" to the workplace．According to New Scientist，on both occasions，Project Debater repeated points and didn't always sufficiently support them．Speaking to Cambridge Independent，Noam Slonim，the project's lead engineer，said，"The AI is not perfect，but it's going in the right direction．"（1）What can we learn about the University of Cambridge debating society？A．It has hosted many debating parties for centuries．B．It designed Project Debater with IBM．C．It has invited many famous hosts to join it．D．It has never hosted a non﹣human guest before．（2）What do we know about Project Debater？A．In the Cambridge test debate it argued for both sides．B．AI helps it to find the useful information sources．C．Before the debate the arguments were submitted to it．D．It would create many new jobs in the future．（3）What's the probable purpose of debate？A．To find out how AI works．B．To create a debating machine．C．To do an experiment about AI．D．To prove AI is better than humans．（4）How does Noam Slonim feel about AI？A．Worried．B．Hopeful．C．Doubtful．D．Nervous．第二节（共1小题；每小题10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．选项中有两项为多余选项．15．（10分）The earth gives us life．（1）However，the human beings that don't appreciate the earth，let harmful gases cause pollution and kill millions of animals living here with us，don't deserve the planet and should be punished and pay the price．The earth lets us breathe．（2）．It's totally wrong to destroy nature and take what we have for granted．Never take what you have for granted，because one day it could all be gone．If you have already worked for or managed a factory that lets off harmful gases，or if you have gone hunting and killed something that share harmony with us，there is no way to make it up to our planet．（3）I can't hear what our planet is saying．No one really knows that，but I know that if I were the earth and someone didn't care about the life I gave them so trustingly，I wouldn't forgive them．（4）The only thing that really matters and helps is to just take care of the life around you．Respect it and appreciate it and don't ever take what you have for granted! （5）Trees would be growing from the healthiest of soil instead of being firewood or just cut down to make room and space for another factory with more destructive chemicals．The sky wouldn't be dirty and smog filled，with no room for the sun or clean air to be breathed in．The earth wouldn't bodying．It's not one person's duty；it's every person's．We should take action immediately before it's too late．A．However，there are ways to help our planet not become worse so rapidly!B．The earth is so useful that we can't live without it．C．It gives us food，water，shelter and natural beauty．D．The minute a life is lost，forgiveness is not possible．E．If you take good care of the earth，it will surely pay back．F．The human beings that care for it and love it deserve what our planet provides us with．G．If everyone did just that and cared creatures all over our world wouldn't't be

city．Barcelona，SpainLocals in Barcelona aren't shy about their dislike for tourists．Popular attractions have even changed their rules as a result of tourist activity．La Boqueria，a large public

Telegraph．Santorini，GreeceSantorini is a beautiful island off the coast of Greece．It's often packed with tourists during the summer．In fact，due to the seasonal influx （涌入）of tourists，the island imposed a rule limiting visitors from cruise ships to 8，000 per day．790，000 people from 636 cruise ships visited Santorin in 2015，according to Conde Nast Traveler，while the entire island only has a population of just over 15，000．Amsterdam，the NetherlandsAmsterdam has long been a popular vacation destination for party﹣loving travelers．In response to a rise in tourism，the city has put restrictions

public，leaving love locks，and writing on or damaging trees or buildings are all fineable offenses in the city．威尼斯对旅游业实施了严格的规定：乱扔垃圾、玩马术、不在公共场所穿衬衫、留下爱锁、在树上或建筑物上写字或损坏树木或建筑物都是该市的可罚款罪行．可知，如果在威尼斯毁坏了树木是要被罚款的，结合选项，故选D．（2）C．细节理解题．根据文章Amsterdam，the Netherlands介绍内容，and that tourists cannot keep the rental apartments for more than 60 days a year．而且游客一年中不能把出租的公寓保留超过60天．可知，在阿姆斯特丹，游客只能保留出租的房子最多60天，结合选项，故选C．（3）B．推理判断题．根据文章Venice has implemented strict rules regarding tourism．威尼斯对旅游业实行了严格的规定；La Boqueria， a large public market，banned tourist groups of more than 15 people in 2015.2015年，大型公共市场La Boqueria禁止了15人以上的旅游团；In fact，due to the seasonal influx （涌入）of tourists，the island imposeda rule limiting

famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said，"Every child is an artist．The problem he has is how to remain an artist once he grows up．"This is both encouraging and discouraging．The fact that we were all born to be artists is certainly exciting，and yet the reality has proven that remaining one is a task that many of us have failed．Fortunately，some people have seen the problem and want to solve it．Western educators have suggested that we introduce the concept of "STEAM" instead of "STEM" ﹣traditional "core majors" including science，technology，engineering，and math ﹣since the "A"，which stands for "arts"，is just as important．And on April 11，China's Ministry of Education issued a guideline．Colleges and universities are required to provide more art﹣related courses and students need to earn a certain number of art credits in order to graduate．These efforts came after many scientific studies had found that art education helps students develop self﹣confidence and teamwork skills，as well as habits of mind such as problem solving and critical thinking，according to The Washington Post．It's true that none of these skills target specific jobs．But as former US ballet dancer Damian Woetzel told The Atlantic，the purpose of art is "to give kids the tools to become adults who are creative，adaptable，and expressive ﹣capable of having their eyes and ears。

PositiveCTrees，some of the tallest in the world，towered above Hannah Ginffiths and her colleagues each morning as they walked deep into the rainforest in the Maliau Basin in Bomeo，where they had set up a set of experiments to look at the ecological effects of small creatures ：termites（白蚁）．Termites get a bum rap．They make headlines for chewing up billions of dollars of property each year in the U．S．And they are responsible for something like two percent of global carbon emissions，simply as a result of their huge populations and preference for chewing through carton-rich materials．A whole industry is aiming at killing them．But they play a key role in many natural ecosystems．Scientists have known for years that in tropical （热带的）forests，termites chew up fallen leaves and dead wood，keeping h fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the systemto be used by other plants，insects，and animals．But they didn't know exactly how important the insects were in keeping the forest healthy and functional，so whey remove termites from a particular spot in the forest and saw how it responded．As luck would have it．Hannah Griffiths and her colleagues started their experiment when the forest was hit by an extreme drought （干旱）．During the non-drought years，they saw there wasn't much difference between the normal plots and the ones where they'd removed the termites．But during the drought，the effects were marked．What they found was unexpected：in the termite-rich areas，the soil stayed slightly wet，more tree seedlings sprouted （抽芽），and the system was full of activity despite the long，hard dry spell．For Griffiths，it was only because they happened to study the drought that they could pick out the real importance of termites to the system，she points out．"And that rings alarm bells in my head，" she says，"because it makes me think，well，what else don t we know？If we start damaging biological communities，we don't know what that will do．"8.Which of the following best explains "a bum rap" underlined in Paragraph 2？______A.

They speed up the loss of nutrition in the rainforest10.What can we infer from the finding of Griffiths' experiment？______A. Termites help rainforests survive climate changeB. Termites prefer drought years to non-drought onesC. Termites benefit more from the forest during the droughtD. Termites enjoy eating tree seedlings during the drought．11.What does Griffiths tell us in the last paragraph？______A. Termites are now in danger of extinctionB. Termites damage biological communities．C. We should think twice before damaging a speciesD. we should study the drought to improve the systemDClassifying things is critical for our daily lives．For example，we have to detect spam mail （垃圾邮件），false political news．When we use AI，such tasks are based on "classification technology" in machine earning-having the computer learn，using the boundary separating positive and negative data．For example，"positive" data would be photos including a happy face，and "negative" data photos that include a sad face．Once a classification boundary is learned，the computer can determine whether a certain data is positive or negative．However，the difficulty with his technology is that it requires both positive and negative data for the learning process，and negative data are not available in many cases．For instance，when a retailer （零售商）is trying to predict who will make a purchase，they can easily find data on customers who have purchased from them（positive data，but it is basically impossible to obtain data on customers who have never purchased from them（negative data ），since they do not have access to their competitors' data．According to lend author Takashi Ishida from RIKEN AIP，"Previous classification methods could not cope with the situation where negative data were not available，but we have made itpossible for computers to learn with only positive data，as long as we have a confidence score for our positive data，constructed from information such as buying intention or the active rate of app users．Using our new method，we can let computers learn a classifier only from positive data equipped with confidence．"According to Ishida．"This discovery could expand the range of applications where classification technology can be used．Even in fields where machine learning has been actively used，our classification technology could be used in new situations where only positive data can be gathered due to data regulation or business constraints（限制）．In the near future，we hope to put our technology to use in various research fields，such as natural language processing，computer vision，robotics，and bioinformatics．"12.How can the computer distinguish the positive data from the negative data？______A. By learning the classification boundary．B. By updating the data collected regularly．C. By separating happy faces and sad ones．D. By introducing classification technology．13.Why is the example mentioned in Paragraph 2？______A. To prove how important the positive data areB. To confirm that data on customers are completeC. To argue that retailers get their competitors' dataD. To explain why negative data are hard to acquire．14.What do the underlined words "new method" in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. Analyzing buying intentionB. Building a confidence scoreC. Assessing the active rate of app usersD. Equipping the computer with confidence．15.What can be a suitable title for the text？______A. The History of Classification TechnologyB. Smarter Al：Machine Learning without Negative DataC. Bigger Data：Computers Assisting Language ProcessingD. The Comparison between Positive Data and Negative Data二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）What's the purpose of building patience abilities？In a word，happiness．Better relationships，more success．But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully．(1) Thus ，when the big ones come，we will have developed the patience we need for hard times．Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience．We，human beings，are still constructed with our old reptilian（爬行动物似的）brain that protects our physical and emotional survival．On the emotional survival side，we want our way to get ahead，to achieve，to "look good．" Let's just face it．(2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger，impatience，blaming and shaming．We all have them．And we can grow beyond them．Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain．Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person，situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort．But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain ，but how our mind is set．(3)Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts．Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings．(4) But to really care for ourselves，get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you．Focusing on what's actually happening，you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening，the resistance．(5) When you find yourself impatient，or angry with yourself，you can remind yourself that you are growing，and that，"Sure，this is understandable；this is what happens to me when I'm bothered．" You can say to yourself，" It's true．I don't like this；this is uncomfortable，but I can tolerate it．A．Practice positive self-talk．B．So the solution to pain is an inside job．C．Patience abilities benefit you in many ways．D．Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times．E．we ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem．F．The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming．G．Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances．16.

"It's arranged to be sung by all performers, indicating that we should all search high and low for our roots," Gong says.To explore the education and the popularization of Chinese music, in 2017, Gong established a research and development team, which includes ethnomusicologist, Du Yaxiong, and music historian, Zhao Zhongming, to deliberate her music teaching methods and summarize the vocal skills of Chinese music.Gong believed that the popularization of Chinese music should rely on primary and secondary schools rather than music academies. The children's passion for music and their outstanding performance amazed Gong, "When singing, they are completely immersed in the music. Music brings light and richness to one's spiritual world. So, learning to sing is never about passing examinations, but about enjoying the music."Lu Yueming, instructor of the school's art center, said, "The children worked really hard and kept in mind Gong's instructions. Seeing their performance, I know that they truly fell in love with traditional Chinese music.""Seeing the children perform my pieces, I realized I should write more songs for them," Lao Luo, Gong's husband said proudly. "It's a great encouragement for me to see how much they like the songs, and they really need content related to Chinese culture/' With an international vision, Gong will continue to write songs based on Chinese folk music or ancient poems.Gong said children should learn about the beauty of Chinese music. Only when you know about your own sounds, can you have cultural confidence.24. Why is the song Search High and Low arranged at the concert?A. Because Gong is a renowned Chinese musician.B. Because people are expected to search their roots.C. Because Gong's music teaching method is practical.D. Because Gong wants to deliberate her music teaching method.25.

Creating Music Helps Cultural ConfidenceB. Gong Linna —My DramatistC. Music Education Gets New V oiceD. Chinese Music: Development, InstrumentsCMany of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty (丰盛的), fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged (充满糖分的) desserts, which are not easily cooked at home.The recent rise of light meals, however, gives diners a smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China’s restaurants and online delivery platforms.The country saw a rapid expansion of restaurants specializing in light meals, from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report released by Meituan, a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.Having a light meal, however, doesn’t mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients are the theme of the light meal.These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That’s probably why so many people, especially millennials (千禧一代), are into them. Diners see it as “a great way to avoid bloating (变胖),” wrote the Telegraph.“After eating several light meals, I felt my appetite has shrunk. I now prefer light flavors,” Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.These changes in eating behavior are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett, chair of the nutrition department at the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health, US. “Diet quality, not quantity (数量), is important for both weight control and long-term well-being,” Willett told The New York Times.So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.28.What are light meals?A. Fat-filled dishes.B. Meat-free dishes.C. Sugar-charged desserts.D. Low-calorie and high-fiber meals.29. How does the author show the popularity of light meals?A. By listing numbers.B. By giving examples.C. By giving descriptions.D. By showing other people’s opinions.30. Why do many young people enjoy light meals, according to the article?A. They are usually colorful.B. They are simple and convenient.C. They are cheaper than other meals.D. They can help people control their weight.31. What do we know from the second to last paragraph?A. Light meals will stay popular for a while.B. Our eating habits show our personalities.C. There is a change in attitude toward healthy eating.D. It’s important to eat the right amount of good food.DNobel prize-winners, legendary authors, and famous scientists – you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that’s not always the case.While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers” – people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.This idea of “peaking” at different times inspired new research from the United States. “Many people believe that creativity is exclusively (独有地) associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about,” said Bruce Weinburg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, there are two types of people: conceptual and experimental thinkers.To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks.Some peaked from ages 25-29. Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions.“Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach,” said Weinburg. He added that their study isn’t limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative disciplines (知识领域). So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.32. What did the study from the US find?A. Young people are not necessarily more creative than old people.B. Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking.C. One’s creative peak is related to their job type.D. Conceptual and experimental thinkers hit their peaks at different times.33. What does the underlined word “conventional” mean in context?A. Easy.B. Unusual.C. Traditional.D. Appropriate.34. What do we know about experimental thinkers?A. Their talents usually bloom in their 20s.B. They are good at doing experiments.C. They work out new methods based on experience.D. They are more successful than conceptual thinkers.35. What would Weinberg probably agree with?A. It’s difficult to find one’s talent in later years.B. More research needs to be done about creative peaks.C. Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field.D. Experimental thinkers from other fields may be most successful in their 50s.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。

The student’s election was unchallenged to the mayoralty, following a year serving as deputy mayor. Corrigan has just finished her second year studying politics at theUniversityofHull. A political activist since secondary school, lifelong Selby citizen Corrigan has always been ambitious.

SupportBA wife’s level of education positively influences both her own and her husband’s chances of having a long life, according to a new Swedish study.In the study, researchers from the Swedish Institute for Social Research inStockholmfound that a woman’s level of education had a stronger connection to the likelihood of her husband dying over education. What’s more, they discovered that a husband’s social class, based on his occupation, had a greater influence on his wife’s longevity(长寿) than her own class.“Women traditionally take more responsibility for the home than men do, and, as a result, women’s levels of education might be more important for determining lifestyles－for example, in terms of food choices－than those of men,” say Srs. Robert Erikson and Jenny Torssander of the Swedish Institute for Social Research inStockholm.The results show that a husband’s level of education does not influence his longevity, but that men with partners who had quit studying after school were 25 per cent more likely to die early than men living with women holding university degrees. In turn, those married to women with university degrees were 13 percent more likely to die early than those whose wives had post-graduate qualifications.According to the researchers, a woman with a good education may not marry a man who drinks and smokes too much or who drives carelessly, and men with such habits may not prefer highly educated woman. Drs. Erikson and Torssander also suggest that better-educated women may be more aware of what healthy eating and good health care consist of.The findings suggest that education has a huge impact on how long and how well people live. It also reflects social factors, since educated individuals usually have better jobs, which allow them to afford healthier diets and lifestyles, as well as better health care.4. In this passage the author intends to ________.A. present the results of a studyB. encourage women to get higher educationC. analyze the relationship between education and lifeD. discuss why women usually live longer than men5. A woman with higher education is likely to ________.A. teach her children wellB. earn more money than her husbandC. marry a man without many bad habitsD. choose a husband with a higher degree than hers6.

We learn from the passage that ________.A. a man with a lot of education lives longer than one with littleB. educated wives tend to choose healthy lifestyles for their familiesC. highly-educated women don’t marry uneducated menD. a man’s longevity depends on not only his wife’s level of education but also his ownCScientists have made great discoveries. But how have they influenced our personal lives? Do kids in your classroom even know when Einstein lived? You may be wondering: but why is it important to teachkids about modern-day scientists?First, stories of scientists can encourage kids. Chris Hadfield is a Canadian who went to space, and he’s a real, guitar-playing person. He makes singing videos on YouTube! His story can make kids think scientists are also common people. Hearing scientists’ stories makes kids think “I can do that too!”But not only that, the stories of famous scientists can encourage kids to never give up. Bill Nye was always refused when trying to be an astronaut. But today, he’s made a lot of successes in his role as a popular science educator and engineer. Besides, it’s no secret that scientific discoveries require trying, and trying again.Another way some scientists can encourage kids is through their diversity. Neil deGrasse Tyson, for example, is an African-American, which is not common in his field. Such stories can make kids think anyone can be a scientist.It’s important to know that scientists don’t need to be “gifted” or “good” at school. Often we consider ascientist as being an extremely smart kid at school. That doesn’t have to be true. They just need to have a great interest in science. Telling students stories of scientists can encourage them to show interest in science. As long as they’re interested, they are likely to become a scientist in the future.Modern scientists teach kids that knowledge builds upon the foundation others have laid. This is important — no one can do it alone. Scientists’ stories can encourage today’s young scientists to keep trying. They’ll be encouraged not to give up on the dream of making discoveries. Even if they haven’t made important discoveries, their research may help the following scientists.8. What can Chris Hadfield’s story tell students?A. Scientists are interested in different things.B. Students should have a hobby of their own.C. Scientists can be ordinary like people around us.D. Students should consider scientists as their models.9. Which of the following would the author agree with?A. African-Americans are more likely to become scientists.B. Scientists are not necessarily very smart at school.C. Not all scientists really show interest in science.D. Scientists are usually good at their schooling.10. The last paragraph shows us that ________.A. scientists should help each otherB. a scientist should never give up tryingC. making discoveries is necessary for scientistsD. new scientific discoveries may be based on others’ findings11. What is the text mainly about?A. Why scientists are important to us.B. Why students should be taught about scientists.C. Why students love stories of scientists.D. Why scientists can encourage students.DIf you think you’d like to live on Mars, you may have that possibility by 2023. A Dutch company called Mars One will soon advertise for people interested in colonizing (开拓) Mars. Ifyou have all the necessary skills, youcould be one of the first colonists. Are you ready for the challenge?You won’t have to pay for the mission to Mars. Mars One has already received money from some donors and is hoping to get more from TV viewers who will become interested in the show where all applicants have a debate for the rare chances.The main responsibility of the first colonists is to create an artificial environment on Mars where there is no air to breathe and no land to farm. Scientists know it’s quite possible because something similar has already been done inAntarctica.Another problem is that space travel to Mars takes nearly a year to get to Mars and the colonists will live the rest of their lives there. When a human lives in an environment without gravity or with low gravity for a long time, the systems in the body weaken. Luckily, spinning (旋转) the spaceship can create artificial gravity, and artificial gravity can ease these problems. It will also be difficult for Mars colonists to be far from home, living in small spaces, and seeing the same people over and over. Colonists with depression could put the mission in danger. Fortunately, a few years ago, a joint Russian and European project called the Mars500 Mission studied people’s reactions in a Mars-like environment. It is viewed as a great success because scientists were able to see how people handle emotional and physical stresses.Recent studies show that seven percent of people would want to go on such an adventure.Mars One will soon start accepting its first colonists. Are you interested?12. What do we know about the applicants to Mars from the first two paragraphs?A. They will land on Mars in 2023.B. They can get money from donors.C. They will compete in a TV show.D. They do not need special skills.13. What will the first colonists do to solve the basic living problems on Mars?A. Create earth-like conditions.B. Build labs inAntarctica.C. Spin the spaceship.D. Start the Mars500Mission.14. What can the life of the first colonists be like according to the passage?A. Difficult and dangerous.B. Different but adaptable.C. Challenging and unbearable .D. Acceptable but depressing.15. What’s the best title for the text?A. Mars: our final destination?B. Ready to be Mars’ colonists?C. Space travel: a thrilling adventure?D. Are you a qualified Mars astronaut?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
