It’s quick, easy, and not cheap, but cheaper than buying a car the old way.The company has been working on the concept for the past two years. Their 31 car vending machine was installed in Atlanta in 2023. But they’ve spent time improving the design, in order to take user experience to the next level. “Our new Vending Machine is a state -of-the-art, multi-story structure that delivers our customers’ cars by merely 32a special coin,” said Carvana CEO Ernie Garcia.The machine consists of a five-story glass tower that can hold up to 20 cars at a time. The tower basically serves asa(n) 33 point for used cars that customers purchase through the website, enabling 34 pricing and eliminating delivery costs.Customers can access a long list of specifications, ratings, reviews, and lots o f other details about the cars they’re interested in on the Carvana website. They even get 35 tours that point out every scratch on the body of the car. Once the car is chosen and paid for, the company usually delivers the car to the customer for a seven-day trial period. This usually means the delivery costs are worked into the 36 of the vehicle.But with the Vending Machine, customers are able to go to pick up their cars straight away. It’s a win-win 37 that allows Carvana to cut down on staff and overhead ( 间接费用), and save customers about $2,000 as well. According to the company, it also makes for a great 38 experience – placing an oversized coin in a slot ( 硬币投币口) andwatching their car roll down automatically.“Carvana’s39 is to create a better way to buy a car, and this new Vending Machine will be a one-of-a-kind experience, 40 just how simple and easy we’ve made it to buy a car online,” Garcia said. He added the company plans to build more car vending machines in the future.III.Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Stay out of the Sun to Look YoungForget drinking countless glasses of water or getting your beauty sleep. The secret of looking young is simply to stay out of the sun. A study of hundreds of women has revealed that those who avoided the sun’s rays looked up to 20 years younger than they actually are.However, other supposed rules for a youthful complexion ( 肤色), from drinking lots of water to sleeping well and exercising regularly, failed to 41 the hands of time. Only keeping out of the sun, and wearing sunscreen when this wasn’t possible, made a 42 , the American Academy of Dermatology’s annual conference will hear today. The interesting 43 comes from a study of 231 women of all ages who were quizzed about their lives, including whether they were sun-lovers. When researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in the US – commissioned by skincare firm Olay – guessed how old the women were, they found those who 44 in the sun tended to have aged more slowly. A lucky four had so few wrinkles and 45 spots, and such a fresh complexion, that they appeared to be a full two decades younger than they really were.Researcher Dr Alexa Kimball, a professor of dermatology ( 皮肤医学), said the 46 advice that we drink lots of water to stay healthy is actually a myth (谬见), and the body is ‘pretty good’ at judging how much we need.Previous research by the British Nutrition Foundation reached a 47 conclusion. Experts there said: ‘Just drinking water for the sake of drinking water really has no effect on improving the appearance of skin.’It isn’t clear why the women who 48 well didn’t have younger-looking skin. But it may be that the question they were asked was too 49 and didn’t take into account their long-term sleep patterns.A second study, also by Olay, suggested that low-level day to day exposure to the sun is more ageing than 50 , intense exposure. Finally, DNA examination of tiny samples of the women’s skin helped understand the 51 done by the sun. A gene called CDKN2A was more active in facial skin that is exposed to the elements than in samples taken from the bottoms. This gene was also more active in women who said they loved the 52 – and in those who looked older. Dr Kimball said CDKN2A activity is a 53 that a cell is ‘tired out’ and urged women should protect their skin year round and not just when on a beach holiday.Dr Frauke Neuser, principal scientist at Olay, which has used the 54 to develop its latest face creams, said:‘This research gives us a detailed picture of the effect of sun exposure on skin a geing and illustrate the importance of protection on a 55 basis.’41.

And they are examples of the evolution of animation, which has brought unique new life to the film industry.Among the first American animated films was Light of the Moon, a silent movie produced in 1911 using silhouette (剪影) animation, where the characters are represented only as black silhouettes.The real breakthrough for American animation came with Steamboat Willie, created by Walt Disney and released in 1928. It was the first animated film to be accompanied by sound, and its main star, Mickey Mouse, became one of the most loveable and enduring animated characters ever created. Disney also created the first American full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Released in 1937, it enjoyed worldwide box-office success.Disney’s extremely careful attention to high-quality detail in the thousands of hand-painted drawings required at that time to make an animated film elevated this film technique to the level of a serious art form.Clay animation is a type of stop-motion animation using forms made of clay. Clay animation films have been produced in the United States since 1908. But this form of animation only won wide popular appeal in 1955 with a short film called Gumbasia, created by Art Clokey.Computer-generated imagery, or CGI, brought animation to a new level of artistry and realism. Used in film since the 1960s, CGI animation began to develop rapidly in the mid-1990s. Toy Story, released in 1995 and created by Pixar and Disney Studios, was the first completely computer-generated animated feature film.In 2023, DreamWorks and Pacific Data Images released Shrek, the first computer-animated feature film to win an Oscar. Shrek returned in 2023 with his talking donkey, his princess bride Fiona and an army of fairy-tale characters in Shrek 2. Hugely popular, that film became the highest-grossing (票房最高的) animated film of all time.In addition to strictly animated movies, animation has been mixed into films showing live actors as well. Who can forget the terrifyingly real dinosaurs thundering through Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park movies and the actors they chased? Thanks to the powerful capabilities of today’s computers and the un limited imagination of American filmmakers, animation will be entertaining audiences worldwide for a long time to come.56.The passage is mainly about the of animation.A.influenceB. popularityC. charactersD. development57.Which film marked the beginning of the complete digital age of American animation?A.Light of the Moon.B.

The program, which lasted from first grade through tenth grade, reduced arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood, as researchers explained in a separate study.In the latest study, researchers looked at the “why” behind those previous findings. In looking at the data from nearly 900 students, the researchers found that about a third of the impact on future crime outcomes was due to the social andself-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.The academic skills that were taught as part of Fast Track turned out to have less of an impact on crime than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional intelligence.“The conclusion that we would make is that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children,”says Kenneth Dodge, a professor at Duke who was a principal investigator in this study as well as in the original Fast Track project. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children, Dodge says, as should education policymakers.To Neil Bernstein, a psychologist in Washington, D.C., who specializes in child and adolescent behavior disorders, the researchers’ findings seem to match what he’s seen among the general public in working with children for more than 30 years. And while he says he agrees with the importance of teaching self-control and social skills, he would add empathy to the list, too.“Empathy is what makes us aware of the feelings of others, and when you’re empathic, you’re much less likely tohurt someone else’s feelings,” says Bernstein, who serves on the advisory board for the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids. “Being in tune with how someone else feels might also make adolescents avoid bullying and other behaviors of concern,”Bernstein says.While Bernstein thinks the study’s findings are meaningful and could potentially serve as a model for schools, he says that collectively getting a school system, teachers, parents and students all motivated enough to take part in an intervention like Fast Track is challenging.63.Fast Track is aimed to .A.improve children’s academic skillsB. help the children with behavior disordersC. identify the problematic childrenD. classify children into different groups64.Neil Bernstein thinks that .A.empathic children are more likely to have higher emotional intelligenceB.the findings of the studies disagree with what he has found in his workC.empathy is equally essential in educating and socializing childrenD.self-control and social skills are not as important as empathy65.What can be learned from the passage?A.It’s hard to involve everyone concerned in applying the findings.B.Soft skills were not part of the education system in the past.C.The findings are meaningless unless guided by Fast Track.D.Adolescence is the most critical stage in a person’s life.66.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.Academic skills are paid too much attention at schools.B.Academic skills have no influence on children’s behaviors.C.Soft skills are much harder to develop than academic skills.D.Soft skills play a significant role in preventing future crimes.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.So it’s not easy for English speakers to label place values clearly.B.The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors.C.Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades.D.This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtractionproblems.E.Different languages indicate different ways of thinking, causing people to solve mathproblems differently.F.That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear thatthe number system is based on units of 10.The Best Language for MathWhat’s the best language for learning math? Hint: You’re not reading it.Chinese, Japanese and Korean use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English. The language gap is drawing growing attention as confusing English number words have been linked in several studies to weaker counting and arithmetic skill in children in English-speaking countries.67 Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University.Chinese has just nine number words, while English has more than two dozen. The trouble starts at “11”. English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as “ten-one”– spoken with the “ten” first.68English number words over 10 don ’t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and “teens”, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法). 69It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten”addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4. 70Many teachers in America have increased instruction in the make-a-ten method and called for first-graders to use it to add and subtract.Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother tongue, all math problems just come less confusing and difficult to you!IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.From Burn Survivor to Global InspirationLast October, the Kona Ironman World Championship witnessed an unbelievable finish. Turia Pitt, an Australian woman who suffered severe burns when caught in a bush fire during a marathon six years ago, successfully challenged herself.Pitt spent 864 days in a hospital and went through more than 200 operations. Doctors said she would never run again, but she proved them wrong.Crossing the line in the Hawaiian darkness, Pitt showed incredible emotion as the race commentator ( 现场讲解员) announced: “Turia Pitt, you are an ironman!” On social media, people around the world applauded her determination.Apart from continuing to be a star athlete, Pitt is also a motivational speaker now. She is sharing her journey of recovery with others to help raise awareness about the importance of organ donation, which she believes saved her life.Pitt was 24 years old when she and five others encountered the fire. Doctors had to remove the burnt skin and replace it with donated skin that could fight infection. None could be found in Australia and doctors were forced to search abroad. They finally found skin that could be used in the United States.“I’m not being dramatic, but it was the skin that saved my life,” said Pitt. “I decided to live my life to the best of my abilities because I never wanted those donors, wherever they are, to think I was ungrateful for their gift.”So Pitt set herself a big goal: the Kona Ironman World Championship. In order to compete, she had to first learn how to stand, walk and even talk all over again. And because of her burns, she also has trouble sweating and regulating her body temperature.Despite these disadvantages, Pitt completed the race in just 14 hours. She said this achievement would not be possible without the donated skin, highlighting the importance of organ donation.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.你能感受到大数据给现代生活带来的冲击吗？(impact)73.我们在向西方学习的时候不能丢弃自己独特的文化特征。

Having grown the company to service seven colleges in the southwestern US, he sold his share to his business partner and moved on to a media advertising business in Nashville. This he sold to Clear Channel, one of the industry's leading companies.Three more businesses later, still only 29 years old, and feeling somewhat burned out, Mycoskie decided to give it a break for a while and head down to Argentina. But resting wasn't really in his nature, and it wasn't long before Mycoskie had hit upon an idea that would come to define him as a social entrepreneur (企业家).On a visit to a village outside Buenos Aires, he was shocked to see that many of the children didn't have any shoes or, if they did, the shoes were worn out and didn't fit. Since shoes, particularly the local farmers' canvas(帆布)shoe, the alpargata, can be bought relatively cheaply in Argentina, Mycoskie's first instinct was to set up a charity to donate shoes to the children. But after giving it some thought, he realized that this was not a model that would work. One pair of shoes per child would not make that much difference because they wear out. And if he asked people to donate repeatedly, sympathy for the cause might also wear out pretty quickly.Instead he came up with the idea of TOMS One for One Shoes. He would take the alpargata to America, manufacture it and sell it as a high-end fashion item at around $50 a pair. For each pair he sold, he would donate another to shoeless children, guaranteeing a continual supply. Also, rather than running a charity, something he had no real experience in, he could run the project as a business. Several years later, the business is booming, supplying shoes not only to children in Argentina but also other parts of the world where foot diseases are a problem.Mycoskie had no manufacturing experience and understood that he had to learn fast. For the first eighteen months, by his own admission, he made "a poor job of making shoes: but since then he has brought in help from experienced industry people. The vital element that Mycoskie added was his passion—a passion he wants others to share. One criticism of initiatives like TOMS is that the money spent by customers might otherwise have gone directly to charities. So Mycoskie encourages his customers to become more involved with TOMS by volunteering to hand-deliver theshoes to children in need. It's a giving experience and he hopes it might inspire some of the volunteers to develop similar projects.56. Why did Blake Mycoske go to Argentina?A.To look for ideas.B.To be close to nature.C.To relax himself.D.To start his new business.57.Blake Mycoske gave up the idea of setting up a charity to donate shoes to the kids because________.A.he found it wasn't a long-term solutionB.he found the shoes weren't good in qualityC.he found people didn't show enough sympathyD.he found the kids didn't like the traditional shoes58.How did Mycoskie respond to the criticism of the projects like TOMS?A.He inspired other similar projects.B.He donated more money to charity.C.He turned his customers into volunteers.D.He hand-delivered shoes to the kids by himself.59.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.

Next Blog I AM...MRTREBUSSome years ago, an 80-year-old man hit the headlines when the local council tried to force him out of his own house in London. Mr. Trebus, who'd had to leave his hometown in Poland after Germany invaded at the beginning of the Second World War, later served as a tank commander in the British army. After he settled in London, he began collecting all kinds of things, He would tour the local neighbourhood recovering things from bins that others had seen as mere rubbish. He then took this junk home and sorted it into piles of similar things: a room packed with vacuum cleaners, a comer for old doors, another for windows. He also managed to acquire practically every record Elvis Presley ever made.By the time the council came to evict (驱逐)the old man, he had just a tiny space in his kitchen to live in, surrounded by piles of old newspapers and children's toys. Yet he resisted eviction, arguing that everything he kept was useful.He was cleverly over-the-top? but let5 s face it, there's a bit of Mr Trebus in most of us. How many collectors do you know? Personally I have boxes of old comics in the attic, which I don't . read, but can't get rid of. Who hasn't made some impulse purchase, which has then been left lying in some cupboard for years? How many of you have a drawer like mine in the kitchen: a drawer fall of caution and fear, stuffed with good intentions; packed with optimism and meanness and, of course, all rubbish? In my drawer, there are a number of instructions and guarantees for things I've bought over the years, just in case they break down or I forget how to use them. There are also a large number of dead batteries which I've been meaning to take to the recycling centre and a number of leaflets—one about a local gym I still haven't joined. There are various odd screws, nails and pins (I'd have to buy new packs if I didn't keep them), a broken cup (I must buy some glue to stick it back together), and finally a large number of foreign coins (they might be collector's items one day, they might be valuable).60.Why does the blogger use "I AM ... MR TREBUS” as the title of the blog?A.Both Mr Trebus and he survived a terrible war.B.He has known Mr Trebus for a long time.C.Mr Trebus and he have a similar hobby.D.He would like to be another Mr Trebus.61._________take a negative attitude towards the blogger's behaviour.A.Dani79 and TimR1975.B.

Flocks flying to winter roosts (居住地)are orderly no matter how many birds they contain; those trying to fight off enemies are initially disorganized when their numbers are small and then suddenly flip to order once enough birds join in.Swimming bacteria, marching locusts, schooling fish and flocking birds all function as units. This phenomenon can emerge when individual agents following the same rules come together, says Alex Thornton, who studies cognitive evolution at the University of Exeter in England. "We got used to thinking of collective behavior as this almost physical phenomenon/" he says. "So the idea that animals might actually change the rules that they use when their environment and what they're trying to achieve are different is quite novel and exciting.”The researchers filmed flocking wild jackdaws in Cornwall, England, with four high-speed cameras, charting individuals? positions and flying courses. Of the 16 flocks recorded, six were "transit flocks"—ackdaws returning to their roosts on winter evenings. In these groups, regardless of size, each jackdaw adjusted its course based on a fixed number of neighbors and always maintained order.To initiate "mobbing flocks," the researchers presented to groups of jackdaws a fake fox holding a fake, flapping bird and played alarm calls that the birds commonlyuse to warn other birds against enemies. In this context, jackdaws instead navigated by tracking all birds that were within a fixed distance. "With these rules, you have emergence of order from mess,” Thornton says. "Small flocks are disorganized. When the density of the flock reaches a certain level, suddenly there is order—much like how a gas transitions into a liquid." These transitions have never been observed in birds before, he adds.“What our work shows is that you cannot ignore the external environment in trying to model collective behavior in biological systems— says Nicholas Ouellette, a physicist at Stanford University and co-author on the study. Drawing inspiration from jackdaws, he says, engineers could someday use context-dependent responses to build teams of drones that work together for firefighting, surveying and search-and-rescue missions: "It allows you to think about designing systems that are more flexible, that can change the rules to make the behavior more proper?"63.What does Alex Thornton5s new research find about Jackdaws?A.They vary the rules with which they gather.B.They function as units while flying to winter roosts.C.They tend to fly apart when meeting with enemies.D.They get disorganize to wait for more birds to join in.64.Which of the following statements is true of "transit flocks”?A.They are normally big in size.B.They are always in good order.C.The members seldom changed their courses.D.The members find direction by tracking faraway birds.65.It can be inferred from the passage that the transitions of a gas into a liquid are processes in which _________.A.mess turns into orderB.density remains the sameC.changes often happen slowly but steadilyD.molecules keep a fixed distance from each other66.Nicholas Ouellette is quoted in the passage in order to________.A.highlight the flexibility of flocking birdsB.reveal how context-dependent responses occurC.show how the research findings can be applied to practiceD.call attention to the importance of the external environmentSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Sir Arthur Conan DoyleSir Arthur Conan Doyle was born on May 22, 1859, in Edinburgh, as Arthur Doyle (he later used his middle name, Conan, as part of his surname). His father, a civil servant and frustrated artist, became an alcoholic, and Arthur was sent to boarding school in England.He went on to study medicine at Edinburgh University, where one teacher, Dr Joseph Bell, made a big impression on him. A weird character in his long coat and deerstalker hat, Bell had an unusual ability to diagnose patients purely by reasoning logically from their appearance.________67 ________ While waiting for patients, he wrote fiction. It was many years before his first novel was published, introducing the detective Sherlock Holmes, who was clearly based on Dr Bell. A series of Sherlock Holmes stories followed.Doyle grew tired of writing them. ________68 ________ So, Doyle had to bring him back to life, Doyle combined writing with a keen interest in sport; he played first class cricket and was goalkeeper for Portsmouth AFC. More surprising, given the ultra-rational (特别理性的)character of Sherlock Holmes, was Doyle‘s fascination with the supernatural.In 1893, Doyle's father died, and his wife Louisa was given months to live. ________69________ Later, during World War I, he lost several family members, and he became especially desperate to make contact with his dead son.Doyle remarried after his first wife Louisa's death. His second wife, Jean, became a medium, and Doyle devoted all his time to giving lectures and writing about supernatural phenomena. ________70 ________ He returned in pain and was bedridden until his death on July 7, 1930 (though shortly before he died he was found lying in the garden, clutching his heart with one hand and holding a flower in the other).IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible.Fishy WeatherHave you ever heard someone say, “Its raining cats and dogs"? It's a figure of speech—no one has ever seen it truly rain cats and dogs. However, weird weather does happen. Fish, frogs, and even spiders have fallen from the sky during storms!Some places get a lot of weird weather. Yoro, a city in Honduras, is one such place. There, animals fall from the sky so often that kids learn about it in school. However, most people don't believe it until they see it. When Miguel Espinoza moved to Yoro, he thought the stories were just legends. Then one afternoon, he saw a dark cloud in the sky. "I felt something hit my hat, and I saw a shiny flutter," he said. "It was a fish!" Hundreds of silver fish fell like wriggling raindrops.Scientists can explain the raining fish. Storms with strong winds, such as waterspouts and tornadoes, can suck up water as they pass over rivers, lakes, or oceans. The winds will also suck up whatever is swimming in that water! These storms can then carry the animals for many miles. When the winds start to die down, they drop the water and animals.Fish are the most common animals carried by storms, but they aren't the only ones. In 2005, thousands of tiny frogs rained down on a city in Serbia. Amazingly, frogs were still alive after they fell to the ground. And in 2007, a man named Christian Gaona was visiting northern Argentina when he experienced a very creepy rain. Dozens of spiders fell from the sky! Christian snapped some pictures of the raining spiders. Otherwise, his friends might never have believed his unusual story.Overall, animal rainstorms aren't very common. In most years, fewer than ten animal stonns are reported around the world. So don't worry about fish bouncing offyour umbrella. If they do, you'll have your own story about very weird weather.Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.他的电影是由人物而不是由故事出发。

He should know, as his team from the Endangered Seabird Recovery Project __31__ thousands of hours of audio to determine if power lines affected local seabirds. Travers was trying to help establish how frequently birds are killed by power lines on the island of Kauai in Hawaii in 2011.His team recorded 600 hours of audio and sent the recordings to Conservation Metrics, a company that assists conservation efforts with AI __32__. Conservation Metrics used a program to "listen" to the recordings and count the sounds that __33__ bird electrocutions (电击). The result was __34__, as the number of bird electrocutions was in the thousands. Armed with proof that power lines were killing a significant number of birds, the team worked with the local utility (公共事业) service to reduce bird deaths.In science fiction stories such as The Matrix, AI-powered __35__ take over the world and end life on the planet as we know it. But in reality, programs that use AI to sort through mountains of data might just save some species from disappearing __36__.By many measures, humans have been poor managers of the planet.

The decline in biodiversity around the world has created a hopeless situation. Conservation efforts lack key resources they need to be __38__.Fortunately, humans now have AI-based tools that can help. AI can quickly and __39__ sort through large amounts of data created by observations in the field. Then other programs such as PAWS ( Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security ) can help analyze the data and suggest the most effective ways to focus conservation efforts.In large national parks and wildlife reserves, illegal hunters are a danger for animals both big and small. Some animals are worth a lot of money on the black market. Park rangers are left with a(n) __40__ task because there is too much land to cover. But the PAWS program allows rangers to focus their efforts. PAWS has even predicted the existence of trap lines in areas not yet checked by rangers!We still face many challenges to change the loss of wildlife, but AI-powered programs promise to be a powerful conservation tool.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Online art of all kinds can be accessed by as many people as the hosting server permits. But there is a(n) 41 that is allowing people to buy digital art.Digital art that is sold online is known as an NFT, which 42 non-fungible token (非同质化代币). Non-fungible means that the item cannot be 43 by a similar item. For example, coins and bills are fungible because they have a set value and are easily exchanged. 44 , trading cards are non-fungible because their worth varies depending on which card you have. An NFT can be 45 anything digital - songs, videos, images or even a social media post, one of which sold for almost US$3 million!Others may be able to see this NFT, or art, but one person is listed as the owner on a blockchain - that is, a public 46 . Blockchains are well equipped to keep track of the owner of NFT. In fact, they are used to record all kinds of online 47 .Some people are describing NFTs as an online version of collecting fine art. And collectors are 48 to put their money where their mouth is, paying thousands or even millions of dollars for NFTs.As with fine art collecting, some people see purchasing NFTs as a(n) 49 , buying art that they plan to sell at a higher price later. Others want the esteem (成就感) that comes with owning an NFT made by a famous 50 . But given that a copy of an NFT is identical to the 51 , the wisdom of paying massive amounts of money for one may seem 52 .On the other hand, the popularity of NFTs is 53 good news for the artists who create them. Upon selling their works as NFTs, artists receive much more than the small amounts of money they get when someone streams their video, for example. Some NFTs are even set up so that every time a work changes hands, the creator receives a percentage of the price. Thus, the artist can be paid for a single NFT many times over.54 , every NFT is unique, though some creators produce multiple very similar NFTs ( sort of like how multiple copies of any given trading card exist ). 55 will tell whether NFT art will pay off for collectors in the long run, but for now it's providing some people - including the artists - with large sums of money.41.A. regulation B. art C. skill D. trend42.A. focuses on B. stands for C. points to D. consists in43.A. replaced B. produced C. released D. covered44.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Jailbreaking commonly refers to unlocking iOS for iPhones and iPads. Seventeen-year-old George Hotz, or geohot as he liked to be called, was the first person to jailbreak an iPhone. He accomplished his feat in 2007, and many others followed his lead.Jailbreaking an iPhone offers some distinct benefits. With a jailbroken iPhone, you have numerous ways to change any setting to suit your needs. You can also alter the look and feel of the phone so that it matches your personality. Another advantage of jailbreaking for iPhone users is the ability to install apps not offered in Apple's App Store. Cydia, an alternative app store for jailbroken iOS devices, offers a variety of apps, some of which cost more than others.Before jailbreaking your iPhone, you should consider the consequences. Jailbreaking immediately voids (使无效) your iPhone's warranty, which means that Apple is no longer required to fix your phone if something goes wrong. Jailbreaking also exposes you to the dangers associated with alternative apps. Poor quality apps from alternative app stores may cause your iPhone to crash more often or stop working altogether. After jailbreaking your iPhone, you must also be careful not to allow Apple to install new software on your phone.Apple naturally discourages its customers from jailbreaking their iPhones. According to the company, jailbreaking doesn't just affect the security and stability of an iPhone. It can also shorten the phone's battery life. For many people, this is an important consideration.56.Which aspects of jailbreaking does the article discuss?A.The ways in which jailbreaking can save people timeB.The positives and negatives associated with jailbreakingC.The clients who got into legal trouble for jailbreakingD.The best and worst techniques for jailbreaking phones57.What does the article imply about the first person to jailbreak an iPhone?A.He apologized for his actions.B.He produced hardware designs.C.He gave himself a nickname.D.He was turned down for a job.58.From this article, what can readers learn about the products offered by Cydia?A. Their prices vary somewhat.B. Their inventors are quite young.C. They're still manufactured abroad.D. They take only a few moments to install.59. According to Apple, what might happen after a person jailbreaks his or her iPhone?A.It might need a new camera stand.B.It might become harder to sell.C.It might be easily damaged by water.D.It might use up its battery faster.(B)To: **************From:**************Subject: Confidential: Managerial AdviceDate: Feb.16, 2022Hi Dan,I'm writing to ask if you could give me advice.

The best first responders are the people who call that area home. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program teaches civilians how to prepare themselves for dangers that might affect their communities. Teams of volunteers are trained in basic skills such as fire safety and prevention, search and rescue, and first aid. After training, these volunteers can begin to provide immediate assistance in the consequence of disasters before professional rescuers arrive.A CERT team can make a huge difference to a community. During the early stages of a disastrous event, citizens will likely face extreme challenges on their own. Emergency services are usually overwhelmed (压倒), and communities may be isolated because of blocked roads. A CERT team can size up the situation in their neighborhood and provide help right away. In 1986, untrained volunteers saved more than 800 lives in the Mexico City earthquake. Unfortunately, at least 100 volunteers also died in the process. To ensure their community was better prepared in events like this, Los Angeles piloted the first CERT program in 1986, and many cities followed their lead.People of all ages can participate in a CERT program -there is even a teen program for adolescents. Local CERT trainers hold an annual training class and provide subsequent (后续的) classes throughout the year to consolidate skills.CERT programs are useful on many different levels. Volunteers are trained to act as eyes and ears, locating trapped victims for uniformed emergency responders who arrive later. They learn to put out small fires, shut off equipment, rescue survivors and provide basic medical treatment. V olunteers also create disaster plans to evacuate(疏散) families as well as collect and store disaster supplies such as water, food and first-aid kits. Working with professionals, a CERT team can help reduce injuries, loss of life and property damage.There are now CERT programs throughout the United States, and more than 600,000 people have trained as volunteers. Brazil, New Zealand and Turkey have similar programs. Citizens participate because they believe that everyone in a community has a role in disaster preparedness. By working competently as a team, CERT volunteers protect not only themselves but also the people around them when disasters occur.63.According to the passage, when do CERT members usually provide assistance?A.Before those professional rescuers arrive.B.When uniformed emergency responders arrive.C.During the early stages of a disastrous event.D.Throughout the process of rescue in a disaster.64.The word "pilot" in the second paragraph most probably means __________.A.conductB. imitateC. passD. discuss65.According to the passage, residents in the community in some countries are willing to beCERT volunteers because __________.A.they think each in the community is important in preventing and fighting against disasterB.they believe everyone in the community has the responsibility in a sudden natural disasterC.they think volunteers in the community can protect themselves and others in a disasterD.they believe they can help victims earlier and more effectively than professional ones66.What would be the proper title for the passage?A.CERT and professional rescue teams are importantB.CERT is a folk but helpful organization in AmericaC.Ordinary people can save lives in a natural disasterD.Volunteers can effectively prevent a natural disasterSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A.And if you're losing weight, protein shakes can help make sure that you don't lose muscle.B.Protein shakes can also help people to manage their figures, especially their weight.C.Moreover, these foods contain other nutrients in addition to protein.D.Therefore, it is unnecessary to take protein shakes unless it is a must.E.Protein shakes can be ready-made drinks.F.And high-protein diets have also been linked to the loss of fat.both. Others, however, question the belief that protein shakes are better than normal, high-protein foods. So what is the truth?What is in a protein shake?Protein shakes are dietary supplements (膳食补充品) designed to help people consume more protein than they otherwise would. 67 Or people can mix their own shakes using protein powder and other ingredients. Protein powder can be made from plants or animals. Plant-based protein shakes can include soy, pea or rice protein. Animal-based protein powders are usually made from cow's milk. Those who want to stay away from milk can also get protein powder made from egg whites.Advantages of protein shakesStudies indicate that consuming protein shakes is helpful if you want to build your muscle. They can also help to improve your performance while exercising and help you to recover from exercise. 68Consuming protein shakes can also help you lose weight. Eating a high-protein diet helps you feel full, so it's easier to resist eating too much. High-protein diets can also increase how quickly your body burns energy. When you use more energy than you take in through food, you lose weight. 69Disadvantages of protein shakesHowever, you don't have to drink protein shakes to have a high-protein diet. Many wholefoods are rich in protein. As a matter of fact, the people in many high-protein diet studies didn't drink protein shakes. The studies proved the benefits of eating protein-rich foods.70 In contrast, many protein shakes contain sugar or artificial sweeteners, which are not healthy.To sum upSo yes, protein shakes are convenient, and they work. However, they are not your only choice for eating a high-protein diet.IV. Summary Writing71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.When you're having fun with your friends, you take selfies. When you visit famous places, you take selfies. When you are in beautiful spots, you take selfies. But sometimes you don't look very attractive in the photos. And, of course, if you're going to post them, you want to look your best. What can you do?Instead of posting a photo you don't like, you can turn to photo retouching. When you retouch an image, you improve its appearance. Many apps offer you the ability to do that. Their easy-to-use tools help you smooth your skin, make your teeth straighter and whiter, and more. Within the apps, you can also change your facial features. You can make your eyes rounder and brighter. You can change the shape of your face or your nose. You can also change the direction of the light source or add highlights. All in all, you can make yourself look like you wish you looked.Now you've uploaded your retouched photos to social media. People leave positive comments, and you get a lot of likes. That's great, right? Maybe not. With so many people sharing personal images of their lives, it's almost like a contest.Who looks the best, takes perfect selfies and lives up to social media's standard of beauty? You need to be part of that crowd so that you don't feel left out. Worse yet, you feel if you're not part of that crowd, you may be criticized for your looks. Maybe you think that if you don't look like the influencers you follow, you're not good enough. People generally retouch themselves to have larger eyes, thinner chins and brighter skin. Does everyone now look the same? It seems like a lot of people are trying to match up to unrealistic beauty ideals. That isn't good for anyone's self-image.Perhaps it's time to post the real you and only lightly retouched, if at all.V.

A.innovative B.unimpressive C.abnormal D.conventionalSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Whenever I ask to go to the movies,my mom’s first response is always“No!”When I want to go dancing,she adds a firm“No!No!No!”for emphasis.She claims she is only trying to protect me from what she calls“bad elements”.On a sunny day,Mom rejected my request to go to West Indian Day Parade and insisted I accompany her as she worked cleaning a large house.I followed her to a grand dining room,watching her apply lemon-scented polish to the furniture.I imagined my friends dressing up in fancy costumes,enjoying the celebratory time at the parade.I glared at my mother,hoping she could feel the anger I was directing her way.But as I watched,my emotions began to change.I noticed how tenderly she rubbed her dusting cloth along a large piano in the corner.“Is this like your piano in Guyana,Mom?”I asked.“Yes.This baby grand piano is exactly like the one my Dad bought me when I was your age.”Her sigh was full of longing.I knew that my mother had been a talented pianist.I vaguely recalled dancing under the piano when she practiced for hours every day.Now she could barely play for our church choir because her fingers were gnarled from so many days spent cleaning other people’s homes.“Stop!”Mrs.Smithers,the homeowner,yelled,“That’s a very valuable instrument!”“I am well aware of that.”she said slowly,“I play for my church.”“But that’s not a church-music piano.We play classical music on that piano.”I watched as my mother’s eyes narrowed and her face tightened.I felt the same tightening in my chest.“You don’t know anything about us…or pianos!”I screamed.Immediately I worried I had done something wrong,but I also felt the tightening in my chest loosened.I waited for my mother to blame me,but instead she glanced my way,smiling proudly.“That’s all I have time for today. My daughter and I are going to the e on,love.”“But Veronica,you will return next week,right?”“No!”said my mother,“No!No!No!”56.The underlined word“gnarled”in paragraph4probably means______.A.rough and twistedB.clean and swiftC.painful but sensitiveD.bent but flexible57.What do you know about the mother according to the article?A.She regretted being a cleaning woman.B.She quit her hobby to support the family.C.She refused the daughter’s request due to the tight budget.D.She wished her daughter to become a well-respected pianist.58.How did the writer’s attitude toward her mother change on the day?A.From critical to ashamed.B.From fearful to respectful.C.From pitiful to understanding.D.From angry to sympathetic.59.What does the story mainly want to express?A.Don’t look down upon those inferior to you.B.Reaching out for those in trouble can be rewarding.C.Understanding others’experiences helps identify with them.D.Don’t abandon your idea even if one shows strong disagreement.(B)In order to hold weight,a recommendation letter should come from a respected source.You would be a wonderful fit if you worked with the candidate in a supervisory position,say,a manager or boss of some sort,for an employer always wants a professional reference.Occasionally,letters from a colleague,a friend,neighbor,or family member will also do. And what elements should your recommendation letter include to be effective?#1:Explaining Your QualificationIn the first paragraph,you should explain who you are,how you know the candidate and how long you worked with him.In this way,you are showing that you’re much qualified to give an honest assessment.Strong letters give positive descriptions of your qualifications in a concise and powerful way,which creates a professional and trustworthy image of you.#2:Being Customized to the New PositionWhile you should speak to the candidate’s accomplishments in his past role,you should also show why he’d make a good fit in the next one.You should explain why he has the desired ability to do the job well,and attach the greatest importance to this,even if the candidate’s making a career change.The candidate should provide you with everything you need to know to customize your letter.By drawing on this information,you can express confidence that the candidate will succeed in the new role.Then when the hiring manager reads your letter,he’ll feel reassured that the candidate would make a good fit.#3:Using Specific ExamplesFinally,your letter should provide specific examples about the candidate.Don’t just list adjectives like,“friendly, intelligent,and hard-working”;instead,present circumstances in which the candidate demonstrated those qualities.Not only will examples point to the value the candidate brought to your organization or company,but they’ll also paint a picture of how he works in day-to-day ing two to three specific examples in your letter will boost its level of persuasiveness.60.Who are the intended readers of this passage?A.Assessors.B.Employers.C.Candidates.D.Recommenders.61.According to the passage,a candidate’s______is usually the most suitable to write a recommendation letter.A.powerful friendB.supervisory managerC.respected neighborD.trustworthy colleague62.What should a writer put emphasis on in a recommendation letter?A.Presenting the reader with the candidate’s ability.B.Exhibiting his knowledge about the new industry.C.Customizing the letter with eye-catching drawings.D.Showing the candidate’s intelligence with examples.(C)Alain Aspect,a French physicist,who won a long-expected Nobel Physics Prize on Tuesday(October4,2022), contributed a lot in proving the theory of quantum entanglement(量子缠绕),a theory—famously raised by Albert Einstein —that when a particle(粒子)is split into two,the properties of the two new particles remain connected,as if by an invisible piece of string,regardless of how far apart they are.It remained a theory until Aspect and his team proved it in a laboratory experiment for the first time in1981,involving two photons(光子)at a distance of12meters.Quantum strangeness has fascinated Aspect as a physicist.Awarded along with Austrian physicist Anton Zeilinger and John Clauser from the United States,Aspect emphasised the importance of international scientific cooperation.“He is one of those professors in physics.A whole community today works under his leadership,”said Retailleau,a former president of Paris-Saclay University.“Aspect is also a‘tireless teacher’who gives impressive lectures”,she added.His former student Olivier Reymond,who is now working on developing a quantum processor,said,“As well as passing his passion for physics on to his students,Aspect is also a food lover who will tell you all about his recipes for the goose liver.”Alain Aspect is widely recognized for his experimental test of Bell’s inequalities,proposed by the late John Bell in 1964,and the related tests require measurements to be made on photons moving apart in opposite directions to look for connections between some of their physical properties,for instance,their polarizations.Aspect’s major contribution was to propose a feasible experimental scheme to make these measurements by rapidly changing the orientation of polarizers while photons moved through the device,and even more importantly,to implement it successfully in his experiments.Sheila Rowan,president of the Institute of Physics which publishes Physics World,congratulated the team on their “well-deserved”recognition.“This is an area of physics with ongoing,profound impact,at a fundamental level to help understand the world around us and being explored for use in highly novel technologies for sensing and communication today,”she added.Indeed,Aspect’s experiments have attracted enormous attention and triggered a string of theoretical and experimental work on quantum entanglement.As a result,new avenues have been explored in quantum computers,which in principle could outperform traditional computers at some tasks.We are generating more data now than ever before,need to analyse that data in more complex ways,and get results out faster.Quantum computing could help us to find new properties in the production of new materials for everyday use and it could also reduce power consumption within the manufacturing process. With quantum computing,research can be moved from the lab onto the computer where multiple imitations can be run while stretching your companies research and development budget further.63.According to paragraph2,Aspect is______as well as a physicist.A.a tiresome professorB.an inspiring teacherC.a cross-cultural food loverD.an empathetic community leader64.It can be concluded about Aspect’s experiment that______.A.few people can comprehend its complicated processB.interpersonal communication is promoted because of itC.it was conducted successfully decades before Aspect won the Nobel PrizeD.Sheila Rowan played quite an important role in the publication of the result65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Aspect deserves the Prize for theoretical contributions to computing.B.The team’s findings will bring about changes both in science and daily life.C.Aspect is working as the president in Paris-Saclay University for the moment.D.The team’s main contribution is the finding of practical methods in experimenting.66.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.Fruitful Joint Efforts in Popular ScienceB.Alain Aspect—A Theoretical PhysicistC.Nobel Prize—For Experimental PurposeD.Ground-breaking Achievement in PhysicsSection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can only be used once.Note that there are two sentences more than you need.A.The AI industry worldwide is undergoing orderly transformation.B.The regulation came into effect on October1,just as planned.C.Shanghai’s AI industry scale has expanded dramatically in the past few years.ernment and the related division’s responsibilities are all within the framework ofestablished laws and regulations.E.The regulation on AI intends to facilitate various stimulations for the high-qualitydevelopment of the AI industry.F.The core of scientific research is that it is a process of constantly making mistakes anddistinguishing right from wrong.Shanghai Regulation to Help Boost AIShanghai’s decision to boost the development of the artificial intelligence industry will promote the city’s digital transformation and its efforts to build itself into an international AI highland,experts said in an interview.The city passed a regulation on boosting AI just months ago,marking the first such effort in China at the provincial level.67“This regulation emphasizes industry innovation and guidance for future development,”said Yan Rui,director of legal affairs in the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress,at a recent media briefing.“68It will also strongly support the digital transformation of Shanghai,and assist creation of an AI highland with global influence.”Yan said.One highlight of the AI regulation is that the municipal departments concerned could draw up lists of minor violations during the development of the AI industry which would not receive administrative punishment.“69It is the same case with AI.Therefore,it is an international agreement to allow for minor errors during the research and development process,”said Weng Guanxi,a lawyer at a Shanghai-based law firm.The regulation gives a clear definition of AI and the AI industry and encourages innovative activities in the field by people,enterprises and organizations.70In2021,the combined output value of AI enterprises above a designated size,or with an annual revenue of20 million yuan($16.85million)or above,reached305billion yuan,2.28times that of2018,according to China Securities Journal.The number of talented professionals working in the AI field in Shanghai has soared from100,000in2018to 230,000in2021,said a Xinhua News Agency report.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than60 e your own words as far as possible.71.Out of Sight,Out of MindTechnology has made paying all sorts of bills incredibly easy.The real-time budget apps,which capture our spending and pay our bills automatically,should theoretically give us more control over our money.But why,in real life,do they do the opposite?It helps to think about how we used to pay.My parents describe a process that would involve three separate points of contact whenever they paid for something with a credit card:first,at the cash register,then when a bill came in the mail and finally when they wrote a check to cover it.While each of the checkpoints is technically still there,automation has given us a chance to skip the second and the third.For bills paid automatically through a banking app,even the first checkpoint can be gone.We know that it is happening in the background,but it’s so far out of view that it might as well not be there.How do we get that connection back,without giving up the convenience that technology has brought us?The good news is that though technology has taken away something,it can also give.Much of the battle is simply recognizing what we’ve lost.If we want to be smart about our money and have thorough control over it,we need to bridge that gap between what we spend on and how much we pay.We can start using personal-finance apps to do more than make our lives easier.These apps can send us notifications when each automatic payment is being made and categorize purchases, sending us instant spending reports.Admittedly,those tools require the user to sign up for these services and make conscious efforts to take full advantage of them.In this way,they are arguably better practice than balancing a checkbook on a Saturday morning.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.清晨，窗外鸟儿的歌声将她从熟睡中唤醒。

The passages and the conversation -will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.If you have ever run or watched a marathon, you know it requires considerable endurance to run 26.2 miles. Some runners give up before the end, but others find the motivation to continue running. What can explain this difference? Runners from some parts of the world seem to be especially good at marathons. For example, athletes who live and train at places much higher than sea level generally have an edge over other athletes in long-distance races. Their hearts use oxygen more efficiently, so they can run for an extended period of time without getting tired or out of breath.Kenya and Ethiopia are known for their long-distance runners. Over the years, some of the best marathoners in these two nations have come from mountainous regions. It seems that these are most favorable conditions for an athlete to build strength and get in shape. Yet, this can't be the only explanation for the success of these athletes. Not all mountainous regions produce long-distance runners. Another factor may be that most of these runners have light, thin bodies. Experts believethat this may play an important role in their success in marathons. A final factor may be that they get positive feedback from running. Not only do they get financial rewards, but success can lead to national popularity in Kenya and Ethiopia.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11.What is the speaker mainly talking about?12.What advantage do runners have if they are trained at places much higher than sea level? 13.What can be learned about the marathoners in Kenya and Ethiopia from the passage?Questions 14 through 16 arc based on the following passage.Researchers have created the first complete map of the world's coral reefs. Development of the map was led by Greg Asner and other scientists at Arizona State University. They partnered with coral reef scientists, universities, non-profit organizations across the world. The online map is designed to be a coral conservation tool that can also support ocean planning and coral science activities. Called the Allen Coral Allas, the map was named after Microsoft's late co-founder, Paul Allen.Alien's private company, Vulcan Inc., started providing financial support to the project in 2017. The idea came out of an effort by researcher Ruth Gates of Hawaii to create “super coral'To help save reefs. When announcing the launch of the map recently, the creators said it is the first worldwide, detailed map of its kind. It gives users the ability to sec detailed information about local reefs, including different kinds of undersea structures like sand, rocks, seagrass and coral.The University of Queensland in Australia used AI technology and local data to help build the maps. Anyone can look at the maps for free online. Both Allen and researcher Ruth Gates died in 2018, leaving Asner and others to carry on their work. Asner said Gates “would be so pleased that this is really happening." He said many of the calls he is receiving are from researchers who hope to use the maps to “be sure that their planning and their reef restoration work is going to h ave its max effectiveness.^ (Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.What is the speaker mainly talking about?15.Who was the map named after?16.What do researchers hope to use the maps to do?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversationW: Hi, Bob. I saw your group'sperformance last night at the student theatre. It was great. M: Really? Yeah ... but now we have to write a report on the whole thing, an in-depth analysis. Like, I have to write about the role I played, the doctor, how I developed the character.W: Well, what was your starting point?M: Er, my grandfather was a doctor before he retired and I just based it on him.W: OK, but how? Did you talk to him about it?M: He must have all sorts of stories, but he never says much about his work, even now. He has a sort of authority though. W: So how did you manage to capture that?M: I'd…rd visualize what he must have been like in the past, when he was sitting in his consulting room listening to his patients.W: You have much to explain in your report. Then there's the issue of atmosphere—so in the first scene we need to know how boring life was in the doctor's village in the 1950s, so when the curtain went up in the wailing room, there was that long silence. And then people kept saying the same thing over and over, like "Cold, isn't it?"M: Yes, and everyone wore grey and brown, and just sat in a row. W: Yes, all those details of the production.M: And I have to analyze how I functioned in the group-what I found out about myself. I know I was so frustrated at times when we couldn't agree.W: Yes, so did one person emerge as the leader?M: Susan did. That was OK—she helped us work out exactly what to do, for the production. And that made me feel better, I suppose.W: When you understood what needed doing? Erm. And did you have any practical problems to overcome?M: Well, in the final rehearsal everything was going fine until the last scene—that's where the doctor's first patient appears on stage on his own.W: The one in the wheelchair?M: Yes, and he had this really long speech, with the stage all dark for one spotlight—and then that stuck somehow so it was shining on the wrong side of the stage... but anyway wc got that fixed. W: Yes, it was fine last night.Questions. What helped Bob to develop the character of a doctor?1.1In the play's first scene, what suggested the boredom of village life?19.

It makes depressing reading-“sobering”(清醒) would be the wrong word here, not least (22) ______few people are likely to change their behaviour as a result. But it is difficult to argue with the conclusions. The report was based on enormous amounts of data: 28 million people around the world were examined in 592 studies to estimate the health risks while the popularity of drinking was estimated using a further 694 studies. Some of the effects of large-scale drinking are really shocking. Around the world today, alcohol is responsible for 20% of the deaths in the 15 to 49 age group.The variety of ways in which alcohol can kill or damage people comes as a shock. In the poorest countries, its primary means of damage is through TB(结核); (23)______ countries grow more developed, the damage shifts to cancer and heart disease. It is the trade-off between cancer and heart disease (24) ______ leads the researchers to reject the notion that moderate drinking has health benefits they find that the increased risk of cancers outweighs the diminished risk of heart disease among middle aged moderate drinkers.Perhaps (25) ______(surprising) single finding is that two-thirds of the world’s population don’t drink at all.

When Goodall was about two years old, her mother gave her a toy chimpanzee, which Goodall still possesses to this day. She was a good student, but she had more interest in being outdoors and learning about animals. Once she spent five hours in a hen-house so she could see how a hen lays an egg. She loved animals so much that by the time she was ten or eleven she dreamed of living with animals in Africa. Her mother encouraged Goodall’s dream, which eventually became a reality.When Goodall was eighteen she completed secondary school and began working. She worked as a secretary, as an assistant editor in a film studio, and as a waitress, trying to saveenough money to make her first trip to Africa.Jane Goodall finally went to Africa when she was twenty-three years old. In 1957 she sailed to Mombasa on the east African coast, where she met anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey (1903-1972), who would become her mentor, or teacher. In Africa, Leakey and his wife, Mary, had discovered what were then the oldest known human remains. These discoveries supported Leakey’s claim that the origins of the human species were in Africa, not in Asia or Europe as many had believed.Leakey hoped that studies of the primate (灵长目动物的) species most closely related to human beings chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans-would shed (散发) light on the behavior of the human animal’s ancestors. He chose Goodall for this work because he believed that as a woman she would be more patient and careful than a male observer and that as someone with little formal training she would be more likely to describe what she saw rather than what she thought she should be seeing.Later Goodall turned her attention to the problem of captive(被囚禁的) chimpanzees. Because they closely resemble humans, chimpanzees have been widely used as laboratory animals to study human diseases. Goodall used her knowledge and fame to work to set limits on the number of animals used in such experiments and to convince researchers to improve the conditions under which the animals were kept. She also worked to improve conditions for zoo animals and for conservation of chimpanzee habitats. In 1986 she helped found the Committee for the Conservation and Care of Chimpanzees, an organization dedicated to these issues. She has even written children’s books, The Chimpanzee Family Book and With Love, on the subject of treating animals kindly.For her efforts Goodall has received many awards and honors. In 2000 she accepted the third Gandhi/King award for Non Violence at the United Nations. She does not spend much time in Africa anymore; rather, she gives speeches throughout the world and spends as many as three hundred days a year traveling.56. What is Jane Goodall’s major achievements?A. Her books for children to learn about nature.B. Her observation of how the hen lay an egg.C. Her study of the chimpanzee behavior.D. Her finding of the origins of the human species.57. Where does this passage probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. A biography book.C. A handbook about animal protection.D. A travel brochure.58. Which one is not the reason for Leakey s choosing Goodall as an assistant?A. She would be more patient and careful than a male observer.B. She helped found the Committee for the Conservation and Care of Chimpanzees.C. She was more likely to record what really happens though lacking formal training.D. She had more interest in being outdoors and leaning about animals.59. which of the following is not mentioned about Goodall?A. She went to Africa when she was twenty-three years old.B. She accepted the third Gandhi/King Award for Non Violence.C. Her discoveries supported Leakey’s claim of the origins of the human species.D. She worked to improve conditions for zoo animals.BThe Fifth C?Cut, Color, Carat, Clarity… Chemistry?Is it possible that the mind of a scientist can create more beauty and romance than Mother Nature? The Ultimate Diamond Alternative TM, Diamond Aura R, was created with one mission in mind: Create brilliant cut jewelry that allows everyone to experience more clarity, more brilliance and larger carat weights than they have ever experienced.

It has and will play an important role in driving economic recovery globally,”said Gong Ke, president of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations and executive director of the Chinese Institute for the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development strategies.“While data is an important factor of digital economy, more effort should be made to bridge the digital divide to benefit more user groups.

As a result, I’ve forgotten that there’s more to food than this. And I don’t think I’m the only one. (67)______ While it is fantastic that there are so many inspiring books that encourage healthy eating this simply can’t be the extent of our relationship with food. What about our experiences with food? Putting aside the other stuff, what does food mean to you?When I think about my experience with food, my thoughts immediately go to my family. For me, food is family. Every evening, my dad would make it home by 6pm so that we could all sitdown and have dinner together. We would share the highs and lows of our days and on a Sunday we would chat about our plans for the week. We never ate dinner in front of the television and very rarely was it ever just my brother and me. (68) ______ Now, despite the fact my brother and I have long since left home, whenever we return, it’s always about the food. Our parents plan the meals, sharing new recipes and dishing out family favourites, so that ultimately the food enhances our trip and creates new memories. Food truly is family.(69) ______. Children who eat regularly with their families are at a lower risk of developing poor eating habits, weight problems or substance addictions. It also gives families a chance to reflect on their days together and forges stronger bonds between parents and children.Everyone has a different attitude to food, and it will mean different things to different people. For me, though, good quality, healthy food is important, but without the socio-familial aspect, there is something sorely lacking from my relationship with food. (70) ______. So while I will continue watching what I eat (because I have to), I’ll remember this is not food’s main attraction, but only a part of what food really means to me.Ⅳ.

The first-of-its-kind analysis used online relationships to map the most common problems experienced by couples who told their stories outside the therapist’s office.A team of researchers at Lancaster University helped to produce the report. Charlotte Entwistle, the lead author, said: “Most of what we know comes from studies of people in couples therapy: a specific set of people. We wanted to understand not only what relationship problems are most commonly experienced by the public, but who experiences by the public, but who experiences which problems more.”To bridge the gap the team analysed the characteristics of more than 184,000 people who had posted their problems to an anonymous online forum, and they created a “map” of the most common issues.Communication was the most frequent, cited by nearly one in five people, while one in eight reported that trust was a struggle. The outcomes came as no surprise but the team was taken aback at the obvious gender differences. The theme that kept cropping up was the “heartache” felt, and the team recorded specific words such as “regret”, “break up”,“cry”, and “heart-broken”.Contrary to expectation, men talked about heartbreak significantly more than women. The findings suggest that the stereotype of men being less emotionally invested in relationships may be inaccurate.The researchers also found that men were more likely to seek online professional help.
