The Silk Road concept refers to both the terrestrial and the maritime routes connecting Asia with Africa, the Middle East and southern Europe. The Silk Road played a significant role in the civilization development of China. It was through the Silk Road that Chinese silk, tea and porcelain spread all over the world.

The WHO said the overall caseload had declined since July, but that 5,000 people a day were still being infected. The disease spread due to deteriorating hygiene and sanitation conditions and disruptions to the water supply.More than 14 million people are cut off from regular access to clean water and sanitation in Yemen, and waste collection has ceased in major cities.Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholera. Most of those infected will have no or mild symptoms but, in severe cases, the disease can kill within hours if left untreated. More than a quarter of those who have died and 41% of those who have been infected have been children, according to the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.heard.Q1.

Why can cholera spread so quickly in Yemen?N e w s R e p o r t T w oScotland has a new species of butterfly: the elusive and endangered white-letter hairstreak has been discovered in a field in Berwickshire, 100 meters from the English border.It is the first time since 1884 that the butterfly has been sighted in Scotland, raising hopes that climate change has helped it become the 34th butterfly species to live and breed in the country.“Climate change is a double-edged sword but it’s an exciting time to be in the Scottish borders,” said Paul Kirkland of Butterfly Conservation Scotland. “It’s not just butterflies but moths and dragonflies are moving north quite quickly.”More than a quarter of Britain’s 59 butterfly species are spreading north, with insects such as the comma moving about six miles each year. In recent years, butterflies that were once only found in southern Britain have crossed the border in Scotland, including the comma and the small and Essex skippers. Within Scotland, species such as the ringlet, orange tip and peacock have moved rapidly north and into the Highlands.heard.Q3. When was white-letter hairstreak seen in Scotland for the first time?Q4. Why did some Britain’s butterfly species spread north?N e w s R e p o r t T h r e eUber has been ordered to introduce tougher measures to protect the privacy of its drivers and their customers, to settle charges brought by a regulator.It also had to agree to have the effectiveness of the stricter controls assessed by an independent auditor every two years for the next 20 years.The charges relate to God View, a software program that enabled the ride-sharing company to monitor real-time locations of customers and drivers.Uber faces fines if it fails to comply. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) began investigating Uber following allegations about the God View program in the media in 2014. After the investigation started, Uber developed an automated system for monitoring employee access to customer and driver personal data.However, the FTC said the company had stopped using it eight months after it had been put in place. “Uber failed consumers in twokey ways: first by misrepresenting the extent to which it monitored its employees’ access to personal information about users and drivers, and second by misrepresenting that it took reasonable steps to secure that data,” said FTC acting chairman Maureen Ohlhausen, who presided over the settlement.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q5. What should Uber do to settle the charges brought by a regulator?Q6. What do we learn about the God View?Q7. Why did Uber fail consumers according to Maureen Ohlhausen?Section BC o n v e r s a t i o n O n eW: Good afternoon, Mr. Jones. I am Teresa Chen, and I’ll be interviewing you.

Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72 foot curbside that was covered with weeds, rocks and trash.Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats of flowers. They also took turns in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot.Participation in this project helped the girls develop a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes; they’ve learned how to work with tools, and improve their work habits. One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project, she would not even pull the weed. The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement, and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community.City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees, building cooking facilities, picnic tables, swings and public restrooms. The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during the early stages of growth. The total park project needed more plantings in the following years. Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project through to completion, because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work.The project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. Trees and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q16. What do we learn about Main Street in Farmington?Q17. What do the 4-H club members do about the curbside?Q18. What have the 4-H girls learned from the project?Q19. Why do the 4-H girls agree to follow the park project through to completion?P a s s a g e T w oAccording to a survey on reading conducted in 2001 by the U.S. National Education Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important, more important than computers and science.Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. 79% find it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned.Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such as history books. 64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. That’s a favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition.Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said thatlibraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines.Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q20. What does the survey on teenager reading show?Q21. What books are most popular among teenagers according to the survey?Q22. What activity do teenagers find the most difficult to give up for a week?P a s s a g e T h r e eThank you for coming, everyone. Today’s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today.Le t’s start with power. It’s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetableoil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use. Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources.Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they’ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you’ll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. You’ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, and watch your movie, whatever.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q23. What is the presentation mainly about?Q24. What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles?Q25. What does the speaker say about electric vehicles of today?。

So the amount that girls were allowed to 27 in education is an important part of American history. Women’s participation as teachers is an important part of history, too.In Colonial times, school was 28 for boys; it was usually taught by a young man, since parents felt that boys needed 29 leadership.In the 19th century, more women became school teachers. These teachers were often very young women, even 30 . Usually, they taught for only a few years.

Now people wanted a teacher who would 31 and support their children, not a strict school master. They felt that women were more 32 to the job. By the 1850s nearly all teachers were women, especially in the elementary schools. Still, not all girls 33 school, and schools still focused mainly on educating boys. This began to change by the end of the 19th century when our country decided that all children should have free 34 education. However, it did not happen right away; at first, schools still focused on the boys as they had in the past.During the 20th century, the majority of children, both boys and girls, attended school regularly. The teaching 35 continued to be made up mostly of women. Since the 1930s, about 70% of the teaching force has been women.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.

Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Six Secrets of High-energy People[A] There’s an energy crisis in America, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. Millions of us get up each morning already weary over what the day holds. “I just can’t get started,” people say. But it’s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than an any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body. What you’re seeking is not physical energy. It’s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say, life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations. We encounter emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the s pirit.[B] And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child, I observed people who were poor, or disabled, or ill, but who, nonetheless faced with optimism and vigor. Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body, wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was emotional energy that helped her succeed. Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can’t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.[C] Do something new. Very little that’s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It’s like a tire with a slow leak. You don’t notice it at first, but eve ntually you’ll get a flat. It’s up to you to plug the leak —even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. That’s where Maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago. Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline —a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life-altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed herlook with a short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business. Here’s a challenge: If it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you’ve never eaten. Listen to music you’d ordinarily tune out. You’ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.[D]Reclaim life’s meaning. So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale. The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something,” she says. “But I f eel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” Ivy’s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.[E]Put yourself in the fun zone. Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real-estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally re decorating the houses she shows to clients. “I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care.” We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee his: If you put just a bit of it into your day, your energy will increase quickly.[F]Bid farewell to guilt and regret. Everyone’s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. While they can’t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and noting can change theat. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.[G]Make up your mind. Say you’ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look s tylish—or too extreme? You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain. Every time you can’t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don’t look back.[H]Give to get. Emotional energy has a king of magical quality: The more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it. Start by asking everyone you meet. “How are you?” as if you really want to know, then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don’t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you’re sucking energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person—and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage( 按摩)to someone you love, or cook her dinner. Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking y ourself what you’d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient. After all, if it’s true that what goes around cones around, why not make sure that what’s circulating around you is the good stuff?36. High-energy people usually find themselves some fun and increase their energy quickly.37.Even small changes people make in their lives can help increase their emotional energy.38.People holding on to sad memories of the past will find it difficult to move forward.39.People nowadays are looking for emotional energy.40. When it comes to decision-making, one should make a quick choice without looking back.41.The energy crisis in America discussed here doesn’t refer to a shortage of fossil fuels.42.Emotional energy is in a way different from physical energy in that the more you give, the more you getback.43.T he author believes emotional energy is not inherited or genetically d etermined.44.Ivy filled her life with meaning by launching a program to help poor children.ura Hillenbrand is an example cited to show how emotional energy can contribute to one’s success in life.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Nowadays, Internet shopping is becoming increasingly popular and many more high street stores and supermarkets are now offering this facility. You can shop for just about anything from the comfort of your own home, and all you need to do is to sit in your armchair and order things directly on the Internet.Shopping on the Internet offers convenience and time-saving benefits to shoppers, as compared to traditional storefront( 店面)shopping. People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet, ranging from physical products, such as books, CDs, clothes and food, to information products, such as online news or magazine stories. If it is too inconvenient for you to go out for shopping on your own, or if lack of time makes it difficult for you to shop at physical locations such as stores and shopping malls, you can choose to do shopping on the Internet. The Internet operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and shoppers can expect to find and purchase goods on the Internet anytime, unlike traditional storefronts which have fixed opening hours. No wonder that some research findings indicate that consumers view the Internet as an “instrument of convenience”.Despite the advantages of Internet shopping, there are also disadvantages of Internet shopping. The main disadvantage on Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. Sometimes the computer image of the products can hardly compare with those that can be touched for quality and put on for comfort. Furthermore, Internet shopping cannot provide the social interaction and the sense of community. Many people will find it completely unpleasant because they may miss the opportunity to talk to friends. Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make online payment safe.As a new type of shopping, Internet shopping is bound to become more and more popular in the future. Moreover, if the problem of the security of payment can be overcome, there will be more people willing to try online shopping.46.What is the most important advantage of Internet shopping?A)The reasonable price. C) The convenience it brings to you.B)The quality of the goods. D) The speed at which the goods are delivered to you.47.The phrase “physical products” (Line3 ,Para.2)means .A) anything you can use B) things useful for health careC) things connected with study D) things you can see or feel48.Online news and magazine stories are .A)not yet available on the InternetB)everywhere on the Internet and on the InternetC)information products available on the InternetD)the most popular products on the Internet49.We can learn from the third paragraph that .A)a delivery charge added to the shopping bill discourages people from shopping onlineB)online payment is so safe that people can do shopping on the Internet securelyC)people who enjoy the social experience will not choose online shoppingD)the quality of the goods is not always exactly what you expect50.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A)Sometimes people worry about the money they pay online.B)Shopping on the Internet is a relatively new shopping mode.C)Shopping is made easier by Internet shopping.D)People need to get used to computer system for a secure way of shopping.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Once it was possible to define male and female roles easily by the division of labor. Men worked outside the home and earned the income to support their families, while women cooked the meals and took care of the home and the children. These roles were firmly fixed for most people, and there was not much opportunity for men or women to exchange their roles. But by the middle of this century, men’s and women’s roles were becoming less firmly fixed.In the 1950s, economic and social success was the goal of the typical American. But in the 1960s a new force developed called the counterculture. The people involved in this movement did not value the middle-class American goals. The counterculture presented men and women with new role choices. Taking more interest in childcare, men began to share child-raising tasks with their wives. In fact, some young men and women moved to communal( 社区的)homes or farms where the economic and child care responsibilities were shared equally by both sexes. In addition, many Americans did not value the traditional male role of soldiers. Some young men refused to be drafted as soldiers to fight in the war in Vietnam.In terms of numbers, the counterculture was not a very large group of people. But its influence spread to many parts of American society. Working men of all classes began to change their economic and social patterns. Industrial workers and business executives alike cut down on “overtime” work so that they could spend more leisure time with their families. Some doctors, lawyers, and teachers turned away from high paying situations to practice their professions in poorer neighborhoods.In the 1970s, the feminist movement, or women’s liberation, produced additional economic and social changes. Women of all ages and at all levels of society were entering the work force in greater number. Most of them still took traditional women’s jobs such as public school teaching, nursing, and secretarial work. But some women began to enter traditionally male occupations: police work, banking, dentistry, and construction work. Women were asking for equal work.Today the experts generally agree that important changes are taking place in the roles of men and women. Naturally, there are difficulties in adjusting to these changes.51.According to the passage, in the past .A)women usually worked outside the home for wagesB)men’s and women’s roles were easily exchangedC)men’s roles at home were more usually quite than women’sD)men’s and women’s roles were usually quite separated52.Which of the following was the result of counterculture force?A)Men were more interested in childcare.B)Soldiers refused to fight in the war in Vietnam.C)Working men all cut down “overtime” work.D)Women asked for equal work with men.53.In the passage the author suggests that the counterculture .A)destroyed the United StatesB)changed some Americans’ point of valueC)was not important in the United StatesD)brought people more leisure time with their families54.It could be inferred from the passage that .A)men and women will never share the same goalsB)some men will be willing to change their traditional male rolesC)most men will be happy to share some of the household responsibilities with their wivesD)more American householders are headed by women than ever before55.The best title for the passage may be .A)Results of Feminist MovementB)New Influence on Americans’LifeC)Counterculture and Its ConsequencesD)Traditional Division of Male and Female RolesPart ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.
