AMost Famous Paintings in the WorldAmong the millions of paintings that are created and shown in galleries and museums all around the world, a very small number of them go beyond time and make history. Below are some examples.The Persistence of Memory — Salvador Dali. Painted in 1931, The Persistence of Memory is one of the most recognizable pieces in art history. This work is known to make people reflect on their way of life and the way they spend their time, and it is also thought that Albert Einstein’s well-known Theory of Relativity gave Dali the idea for this wonderful painting.Girl with a Pearl Earring — Johannes Vermeer. Considered by many to be “the Dutch Mona Lisa”, this beautiful painting features an unnamed young woman looking over her shoulder to stare directly at the viewer. It was completed in 1665 and is exhibited in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, the Netherlands.Guernica — Pablo Picasso. The famous painting by Picasso was completed in1937. It was painted in Paris following the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. The painting is on permanent display in the Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain.Starry Night — Vincent van Gogh. Painted in 1889, Starry Night is one of the most famous paintings in modern culture, which is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It is based on van Gogh’s direct observations as well as his imagination, memories, and emotions and was the inspiration for the song Vincent (also known as Starry, Starry Night).1.

Which painting is based on a true story?A. The Persistence of Memory.B. Starry Night.C. Girl with a Pearl Earring.D. Guernica.3. What is the common feature of the listed paintings?A. They are everlasting artworks.B. They share the similar theme.C. They are on permanent display.D. They give ideas for music creation.BI’d thought I was ready for the challenges of graduate school. But when I left Nepal to further my study abroad, I felt as if I had dropped into the vast ocean where every fish swam faster than I could. The coursework wore me out. Instead of being the outgoing person I had been, I suddenly became a shy girl. Worse still, my research was not progressing at the pace I had expected.I needed something to return to my old self. After a conversation with my friend, I thought I should go to help others. Then I began to search online for volunteer opportunities. Luckily, a local organization that drives senior citizens to theirdestinations was looking for volunteers. I thought it might be just what I needed.I was a bit anxious before my first ride, as I had not interacted much with people outside school. But I quickly recovered my poise when I picked up an old woman who wanted to go downtown. She talked with me like my grandmother and shared how thankful she was. Connections like this and the smiles on my passengers’ faces encouraged me to continue driving.I started to volunteer about three hours every weekend — time I otherwise would have spent oversleeping or looking through information on social media. Sharing stories with my passengers was rewarding. And seeing how eager they were to spend time going out inspired me to think about how to spend my time which used to slip away.As my confidence grew, I began opening up to my fellow graduate students about the ups and downs in my research and was surprised to discover that all my fellows faced the same challenge — even the student who I had considered to be on top of everything. As these connections grew, my natural personality began to reappear.4. What led to the author becoming shy?A. The heavy academic burden.B. Fearing to talk to strangers.C. The loneliness of being abroad.D. Being unfamiliar with the new school.5. What did the author volunteer to do?A. Help with old people’s daily life.B. Provide transportation for the old.C. Communicate with senior citizens.D. Accompany old people to downtown.6. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “poise” in paragraph 3?A. Strength.B. Courage.C. Calmness.D. Enthusiasm.7. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?A. She worked very hard on her research.B. She experienced a sense of incompetence.C. She was in the same boat as her schoolmates.D. She regained connection with her friends.CForgiving doesn’t mean saying the pain doesn’t matter or what the other person said or did was OK. It doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. It means letting go of your need for an apology. It means making peace with past hurt and pain. It means choosing to move on. All of this is easy to say, hard to do. But forgiveness can happen in a series of small steps over time.Take your feelings seriously. Forgiving doesn’t mean shrugging your shoulders and saying “Oh, well.” Cry, feel sad, throw things hard, or write angry passages in your diary to get rid of some of the stress. Talk with trusted friends or family to ask for advice to help find solutions to your problems. You have the right to feel hurt and angry. But suffering these feelings over time does you great harm.Make a difference in your life. I’ve seen that many miss the opportunity for getting back a good relationship with someone else because they just wait for the apology that may never come. Others stay stuck in anger long after the other person has stopped to be a part of their lives. Make a decision to make a difference for yourself. That may be forgiving or being the first to reach out to the other so that you can move on with your own life.Forgive yourself and engage in positive self-talk. Although you may mainly blame the other person, it’s important to forgive yourself with positive self-talk. Feel certain that you can learn from this and move on. Tell yourself that you will survive this pain and that life will get better because you can make a choice to let go.Try understanding the other. This doesn’t reduce your pain but may make whathappened more understandable. Understanding doesn’t forgive hurtful behavior, but understanding can help to get rid of your anger and to forgive.Realize that forgiveness benefits you most of all. The other person may never know about your forgiveness. But forgiving and letting go can lighten the load on your body and on your spirit.8. What does forgiving mean according to the text?A. The pain the other person brought you isn’t very serious.B. What the other person has said or done doesn’t hurt you.C. You don’t care and have forgotten what happened to you.D. You needn’t the other person to say sorry to you any more.9. What is the attitude of the author to getting angry according to paragraph 2?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Uncertain.10. What should you do if you have a quarrel with your close friend according toparagraph 3?A. Wait for your friend’s apology.B. Take the initiative to say hello to your friend.C. Try your best to forget your problem.D. Have positive self-talk.11. What does the text mainly talk about?A. How to forgive other people.B. Forgiveness is helpful for us all.C. Understanding can help forgive others.D. Life gets better if you choose to forgive.DEarth is far more alive than we previously thought, according to “deep life” studies that reveal a rich ecosystem beneath our feet that is almost twice the size of all the world’s oceans. Despite extreme heat, no light and intense pressure, scientists estimate it has between 15 billion and 23 billion tonnes of microorganisms (微生物).“It’s like finding a whole new reservoir (储藏) of life on Earth,” said Karen Lloyd, an associate professor at the University of Tennessee.Results suggest 70 percent of Earth’s bacteria and archaea exist in the subsurface. One organism found 2.5 kilometers below the surface has been buried for millions of years and may not rely at all on energy from the sun. Also, the methanogen (产甲烷菌) has found a way to create methane in this environment, which it may not use to reproduce or divide, but to replace or repair broken parts. Lengths of their lives were completely different. Some microorganisms have been alive for thousands of years, barely moving except with shifts in earthquakes or eruptions. They’re just active inside, with less energy than people thought possible to support life.The team consists of 1,200 scientists from 52 countries in disciplines ranging from geology and microbiology to chemistry and physics. A year before the conclusion of their study, they will present the findings before the American Geophysical Union’s annual meeting opens this week, which they say are made possible by technical advances on drills and microscopes.The scientists have been wondering about the point beyond which life cannot exist, but the deeper they dig, the more life they find. There is a temperature maximum — currently 122℃ — but they believe this record will be broken if they keep exploring and developing more advanced instruments.Questions remain, including how the microbes interact with chemical processes, and what this might reveal about how life and Earth coevolved (共同进化).12. What do the scientists find about the underground organisms?A. They can’t reproduce and divide.B. They’re the oldest living things.C. Some of them consume no energy.D. Some of them almost always keep still.13. What can we learn about the research from paragraph 3?A. It lasts for around one year.B. It is conducted in 52 countries.C. It promotes technical development.D. It involves efforts from multiple fields.14. Why do the scientists drill deep?A. To break their previous record.B. To find the depth limit of life.C. To discover more ancient microorganisms.D. To detect the highest subsurface temperature.15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Earth’s Depths Are Full of LifeB. Organisms Live Better UndergroundC. Earth Is Far Beyond Human ExplorationD. Subsurface Life Differs from That on Land第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Grammar and VocabularySection A 17’Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.( A )Health Is a Laughing MatterIf you think back to an occasion when something made you laugh out loud,you’ll probably find your lips starting to twitch (抽动) again and that same positive feeling invading your body. 25 you may not realize, though, is that this good for you. Both smiling and laughing have a beneficial effect on your health. Laughter, the physical sign which indicates you are enjoying your life, is one of 26 (cheap) beauty treatments. It reduces stress, nourishes the spirit and is a natural antidepressant.Laughing produces a chemical effect in the body. 27 makes the body produce biochemical substances such as serotonin (止清素) and adrenaline (肾上腺素). These boost the immune system (免疫系统), activating the cells and stimulating their division.There is also a physical effect. A full-blown laugh-out-loud session mobilizes and strengthens over 400 muscles; it gets the heart and abdomen (腹部) working. Laughing out loud also aids digestion, reduces fatty acids, decreases pain and benefits breathing. When you laugh, your blood bees 28 (charge) with electomagentic (电磁的) energy, 29 can improve circulation.Laughing 30 you cry, in addition, could improve your ability 31 (see) clearly and make you see colors more vividly. But a good laugh clears not just the eyes but the ears and nose, too.Actually, the health benefits of laughter 32 (recognize). There is even a World Laughter Organization, based in Spain. Mari Cruz Garcia, the president and a laughter therapy expert, says, “Laughter develops imagination and creativity, reduces anxiety, and produces a facial massage (按摩). Five minutes of laughter acts as a pain reliever; laughing 100 times is equivalent to 33 (do) ten minutes of aerobic exercise, and 20 seconds of laughteris equivalent to a three-minute workout at the gym!”( B )It’s another Oscar season. This year, Leonardo Dicaprio, Brie Larson and many other lucky winners accepted their Oscars and thanked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts (美国电影艺术与科学学会), their families and colleagues. So, 34 linguistic(语言的) terms, what makes an acceptance speech succeed where others fail?To explore this, let’s take a look at a few thank-yous from the best actresses, some from the mid-twentieth century and some from recent years.The first is English actress Vivien Leigh (费雯丽), 35 (receive) the Academy Award for Gone with the Wind in 1940. “Ladies and gentlemen,”she said, “please forgive me if my words are inadequate in thanking you for your very great kindness. If I were to mention all those who have shown me such wonderful generosity, I should have to entertain you with a speech as long as Gone with the Wind itself.”Leigh begins with a humble apology 36 (emphasize) the depth of her appreciation. It’s 37 words-fail-meapproach.British- American actress Olivia de Havillland received her first Oscar in 1947, going on a bit to explain her pride in the award. “Since I value highly the profession which 38 (instruct) me, rewarded me and permitted my share of the world’s work, it will understand and forgive me, I know, for the very great pride I feel in receiving this award,” she said.In the 21st century, the language has changed, but we find the same strategies：pride, humor and some references to childhood. Kate Winslet, for example, 39 (mention) her youthful dreams 40 receiving her Academy Award for The Reader（《生死朗读》）in xx. “I’d be lying if I haven’t made a version of this speech before. I think I was probably eight years old and staring into the bathroom mirror and this would have been a shampoo bottle. Well, it’s not a shampoo bottle now!” she said in a humorous tone.These are just a sample. If we were to look at the full range of acceptance speeches, who knows what we 41 find. After all, in order not to make for a pretty boring ceremony, successful acceptance speeches are often indirect and they often go beyond a simple “thank you.”Section B 10’Directions: plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Networking Isn’t a Numbers GameWhether you have 5,000 friends on Facebook or 50, chances are at least some of them are not really your friends. The majority of them cannot developa 42 friendship with you.And it doesn’t 43 , of course, some of your friends are robots. According to a newly published University of Oxford study, the average Facebook user may have just four “close” friends to depend on in timesof crisis. The number was found to be almost 44 across all age groups,in both men and women, 45 of how many friends they could boast online.To carry out the study, Oxford psychology professor Robin Dunbar 46 two large, separate groups of adults across the U.K. The first group had 2,000 men and women between ages 18 and 65 who “made regular use of social media,” while the second included 1,375 “adults who worked full time”and were not necessarily social media users.Both groups were asked a series of questions about their online and offline behavior, as well as the size of their social networks in both spaces. When asked how many 47 friends they had on Facebook, they offeredan average answer of 41.4. When asked, however, how many Facebook friends they could depend on during an emotional or social crisis, those people said the number was 4.1. Around 13.6, they 48 , would express sympathy.“So, in the end, all we have is time,”said Professor Dunbar. “Your brain can only take so much friendship. Your emotions can only be 49 with a few people. Facebook is, indeed, a time-sink（耗费时间的东西）, nota glorious new syncing （同步）of souls.”But Dunbar did offer a solution as to how to 50 true friendships.“Friendships, in particular, have a natural decay rate in the absence of contact, and social media may well function to slow down the rate. However, that alone may not be enough to prevent friendships from eventually dying if they are not occasionally 51 by face-to-face interaction,” he said.So, maybe we ought to make more calls and pay more visits to the people we love----there aren’t that many, after all.III. Reading prehensionSection A 15’Directions: 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.Napping for a while at daytime is a very smart and healthy move. The Mayo Clinic says naps 52 relaxation, better mood and alertness, and a sharper working 53 . A xx British study found that pared to getting more nighttime sleep, a mid-day nap was the best way to 54 the mid-afternoon sleepiness.According to the Harvard Health Letter, several studies have shown that people 55 new information better when they take a nap shortly after learning it. And, most 56 , a xx study of nearly 24,000 Greek adults in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who napped 57 had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease pared to people who didn’t nap.Of course, napping isn’t 58 for everyone. If you’re suffering from inability to sleep, naps that are too long or taken too late in the day can 59 with your ability to fall or stay asleep at night.But for most, naps can make you feel sharper and happier. Naps provided i f fe r e n t b e n ef i t s60 on how long they are. A 20-minute nap will boost alertness and concentration; a 90-minute snooze (小睡) can 61 creativity.According to prevention., you 62 a natural dip in body temperature between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. A short nap at this time can boost alertness for several hours and, for most people, shouldn’t 63 being able to fall asleep at night.Pick a d ark, cozy place that’s not too warm or too chilly. Prevention. 64 napping on the couch instead of in bed, so you’re less 65 to snooze fortoo long.Surprisingly, the best place to take a nap may be a hammock (吊床) if you have one. A Swiss study 66 last year found that people fell asleep faster and had deeper sleep when they napped in a hammock than in a bed. That same rocking motion that puts babies to sleep works wonders for grown-ups, too.52. A. relieve B. promote C. operate D. support53. A. feeling B. frame C. sense D. mind54.

A. obliged B. tempted C. adopted D. attracted66. A. pronounced B. published C. discovered D. cultivatedSection B 33’Directions: 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)Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist－high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons．We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.67.The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________．A. relax in the fresh airB. take a deep breathC. take care of the lambD. let the kids play with Banner68. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A. Freeways are where beauty hides.B. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.69. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Charm of the DetourB. The Road to BraveryC. Creativity out of NecessityD. Road Trip and Country Life(B)Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed herself as she did nowhere else.After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline's close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher's editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing a late life career longer than her two marriages bined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to bee an international best seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography (自传)，Moonwalk.Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote.Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.70. We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline ________.A. became fond of reading after working as an editorB. was in charge of publishing 100 booksC. promoted her books through social relationsD. gained a lot from her career as an editor71. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ________.A. Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather than as First LadyB. Jacqueline's life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editorC. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First LadyD. Jacqueline's role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor72. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Jacqueline's two marriages lasted more than 20 years.B. Jacqueline's own publishing firm was set up eventually.C. Jacqueline's views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited.D. Jacqueline's achievements were widely known.73. The passage is mainly ________.A. an introduction of Jacqueline's life both as First Lady and as an editorB. a brief description of Jacqueline's lifelong experiencesC. a brief account of Jacqueline's career as an editor in her last 20 yearsD. an analysis of Jacqueline's social relations in publishing(C)As rules, laws are people’s rights and responsibilities toward society. Laws are agreed on by society and made official by governments.Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance. Laws seem to limit people’s freedom to do many things they would like to do. Though laws may prevent us from doing things we wish to do at the moment, laws make everyone’s life safer and more pleasant. Without laws we could not hold on to our property; we could not go to bed at night expecting to wake up in the morning and find that we had not been robbed; no stores in which we buy food, clothes, and other necessities could stay open and sell to us. Our banks would not be safe places to keep our money.Social life would be impossible without laws to control the way people treat one another. It is not the laws that should be feared but the trouble that es to everyone when laws are broken. Once this is understood, a citizen will not fear or hate the law. Understanding the need for good laws and the evil results of breaking laws is the first requirement of good citizenship and government.Philosophers once believed that in prehistoric time people lived without laws in a “state of nature”. People were free to do as they pleased unless someone stronger stopped them by force. As a result, life became so dangerous and unsafe that leaders had to create laws to protect life and property.This is no longer believed to be true. Scholars now think that as soon as people began living in small groups, they worked out rules for getting along with one other. In time everyone accepted and supported the rules. Manners, customs and beliefs controlled the living habits and behavior of the group. Such rules and habits of life are called folkways.Folkways are probably the real meaning of human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education. As life became more plex, folkways became more plete guides to living. After thousands of years, some of the important folkways were put into writing as the earlier laws. And as life grew more and more plicated with faster transportation and the rise of modern industry and big cities, more human acts and interests had to be ruled by law. This led to a great increase in the number of laws.But we know that unless laws are enforced, they cannot protect us. Poorly enforced laws invite crime and violence. So we agree that the best protection against crime is planned social change and law reform -- to reduce the causesof crime and to encourage people to obey the laws. Such a solution would join a sound system of law enforcement with forces working to prevent crime. To attain this goal, all citizens must understand the need for good laws and for their enforcement.74. Some persons look on laws with fear, hatred, or annoyance, because_____.A. laws and rules are too plicated to understandB. they can’t do whatever they want toC. laws only protect those who worked out themD. they feel it unnecessary to have laws75. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?A.Without laws we may fail to hold on to our propertyB.Good citizens and government should be aware of the need for good laws and the evilresults of breaking lawsC. In prehistoric time peop le lived happily without laws in a “state of nature”.D. Human laws, as well as of religion, morals, and education, are believed to originate fromFolkways.76. A sound system of law enforcement is necessary because_____.A. some citizens fear or hate the law.B. the evil results of breaking laws are getting fewer and fewer .C. we need someone stronger to stop crime by force.D. poorly enforced laws cause crime and violence.77. What’s the best title of this passage?A. The Origin of LawsB. Enforcement of LawsC. Leaders and LawsD. Laws and rules.Section C 8’Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Dog owners often talk about their pets like they’re part of t he family. In fact, it often seems as though owners see their dogs as their kids. Now, scientists have found that the connection between humans and their dogs is similar to the mother-child bond, and it’s strengthened by the same thing: a loving gaze.The study was led by Takefumi Kikusi, an animal behaviorist at AzabuUniversity (麻布大学) in Japan. When our dogs gaze into our eyes with that “you are everything to me” look, our bodies----and theirs as well----are flooded with oxytocin (催产素)，the hormone of love and care that strengthens the bond between people.Additionally, the more dog owners and their canine (犬科的) panions gazed into each other’s eyes, the more oxytocin both sides produced, Japanese researchers discovered. And the more we humans return a pet’s gaze, the more definitely we believe ours is the best dog in the whole wide world. That’s why service dogs, which are bred and trained to develop particularly powerful bonds with their owners, are proving their worth with patients.These findings, published in the journal Science, were based on 30 pairs of dog owners and their beloved pets. For the sake of parison, the researchers also analyzed the interactions between 11 wolves and the animal management professionals who had raised, fed and played with them, but they saw neither mutual (互相的) gaze nor the oxytocin increase.As the researchers put it, the experiments prove that “humans may feel affection for their panion dogs similar to that toward human family members.” They also help solve the mystery how species from very different branches of the evolutionary tree came to live together in such close harmony . The effectof eye contact between owners and their dogs is more meaningful than we thought. When your dog is gazing at you, she may not just be after your sandwich. 78. In which way do the relationships between dogs and owners and the mother-child bond resemble?79. What does “that” refer to in the second line of the last paragraph?80. What is the general idea of the whole passage?81. According to the Takefumi Kikusi’s study, they saw both_____________ and ____________ between dogs and their owners when they are looking at each other.第II卷（共37分）I. Translation 22’Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 那个刚从瑞典来的年轻人接管了这儿所有的工作。

And Wu Mingzhu, a schoolmate of Yuan Longping at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing in the late1940s, is the unsung hero who has helped make this possible.“Is no e xaggeration (夸张) to say that about 80 percent of more than 2,000 of China’s new seed types of watermelons and sweet melons at people’s dining tables every day are the result of great efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,” said a colleague of Wu’s.In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanshan County, Turpan Basin in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region where working condition were hard. In 1958, Wu began to promote the modern technology of planting melons among farmers. However, the local farmers who were used to folk panting methods, didn’t seem to take kindly to that. With the help of a famous local melon expert, Wu opened up three acres of wasteland to plant melon according to scientific knowledge. When autumn arrived, local farmers found the melons Wu planted in a scientific way were particularly delicious. From then on, the farmers began to adopt Wu’s scientific growing methods.Wu’s efforts to grow quality melons began paying off in 1973 when she went to the off-season breeding base in Hainan. She wanted to develop Hainan as a pilot area so that the south area of China could also grow melons, and realize the dream of three-matured or even four matured melons. After numerous difficulties, finally in the 80s, the melon variety selected by Wu succeeded. Wu said, “In Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me. They have worked hard for decades on the front ne of agriculture. I’m just one of the ordinary ones.”Now dealing with Alzheimer’s diseas e, Wu is often unable to recognize her former colleagues or even her family members who live by her side. But having worked day and night to breed new seed types since the 1950s, she can still remember her melon work.1.

Why did Wu choose Hainan as a breeding base?A．To attract more watermelon consumers.B．To earn more money by selling more melons.C．To guide the local farmers to grow watermelons.D．To improve the speed and efficiency of breeding.4. What is the passage mainly about?A．A devoted watermelon scientist. B．Wu Mingzhu’s lifestyle.C．Wu Mingzhu’s new discovery.D．The modem technology of melongrowing.3. The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever intelligent bicycle, fitted with electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country．Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricity．A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per bicycle．The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating (震动的) warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead．“Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed,” said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project. “The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry,” he said.“More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, b ut also for longer distances, ”Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP. “This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoycycling, ”she said．In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country. Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury.Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67%, were older than 65, according tothe Central Statistics Office. The year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly.The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller.1. The intelligent bicycle is aimed to ________．A．protect the environmentB．help reduce traffic pressureC．popularize the use of bicyclesD．improve safety for elderly cyclists2. Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when another cyclist was suddenly found ahead ?A．The handlebars.B．The wheels.C．The saddle.D．The onboard computer.3. We can learn from the passage that ________.A．the elderly ride bicycles wherever they goB．the accident rate among elderly cyclists is highC．the number of elderly cyclists is decreasingD．the elderly are planning to give up cycling4. Which is the best title for the passage?A．A Test BicycleB．Elderly CyclistsC．A Smart BicycleD．A Bicycle-mad Country4. A recent report revealed that, in the US alone, 27 million tons of plastic ended up in landfills in 2018, but only 3.1 millon tons were recycled. Wordwide the numbers are similarly bad, with just 9% of plastic being recycled. The statistics are even worse for certain types of plastic. For example, out of 80,000 tons of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) containers generated in the United States, only a small amount (less than 5,000 tons) was recycled.Now, researchers at The University of Queensland and have found a species of wom with an appetite for polystyrene could be the key to plastic recycling on a mass scale. The superworm caneat through polystyrene, thanks to a bacterial enzyme (酶) in their gut. To study how superworms react to purely plastic food, researchers broke up l35 of the creatures into three teams: one was fed only wheat bran(麸皮), another was fed only plastics, and the third was given nothing.“We found the bran-fed worms have been significantly healthier than the plastic-fed or starved worms, more than doubling their weight over the three weeks they have been monitored. Though the plastic-fed worms made less impressive gains, they still put on more weight than the starved worms,” Dr. Rinke said. “This suggests the worms can get energy from plastics, most likely with the help of their gut microbes.”Researchers used a technique called me a genomics to find several encoded enzymes with the ability to degrade polystyrene. The long-term goal is to engineer enzymes to degrade plastic waste in recycling plants.“Super worms are like mini recycling plants, eating the polystyrene and then feeding it to the bacteria in their gut” Dr. Rinke said. It’s hoped t his bio-up cycling will promote plastic waste recycling and reduce landfills. Researchers said they aim to grow the gut bacteria in the lab and further test its ability to degrade polystyrene. Then they can look into how to upscale this process toa level required for an entire recycling plant1. What problem do the statistics in paragraph 1 indicate?A．Landfills are poorly managed.B．It takes a long time for plastic waste to break up.C．Many plastic containers are of poor quality.D．Plastics are recycle data very low rate.2. How do researchers conduct the study on super worms?A．By collecting data. B．By introducing a concept.C．By making a comparison. D．By refering to a previous study.3. What does the underlined word “degrade” in the fourth pargraph most probably mean?A．consume B．breakdown C．throwaway D．regulate4. What do researchers plan to do?A．Conduct experiments on other worm species.B．Improve gut bacteria’s ability to degrade plastics.C．Apply the bio-up cycling technology to recycling plants.D．Raise super worms on a mass scale to solve plastic pollution.5. There are few natural sounds more uplifting to my spirit than the bright and cheering calls and songs of black-capped chickadees (山雀). One of my morning routines is to step outside the house and listen for the voices of black-caps.There is something comforting to me in black-caps’ presence. 1 Sometimes they are the only birds I’ll hear on my local woodland walks and for me the forest would be a lonelier place without them.Afte r I’d moved into a house on Anchorage’s Hillside, I placed a makeshift feeder on my home’s back. 2 For each, the routine was similar: dashed in, looked around, pecked (啄) at the tray, looked around again, and dashed out. Nervous little creatures, full of bright energy, they soon had me laughing at their funny way, By the time they moved on, I sensed an all-too-rare upwelling of fascination and joy.Within days, a whole new world opened up as woodland neighbors I’d never known, or even imagined, joined the black-caps at my feeders: red-breasted nuthatches, common redpolls…What was remarkable was that all of those species were common residents of the Anchorage area. 3My newfound interest in birds grew quickly, surprising even me. 4 I visited bookstores in search of birding guidebooks. Excitedly exchanged bird descriptions with a stranger. Purchased 50-pound bags of sunflower seeds. All of this seemed very strange to a middle-aged guy who’d never been attracted by birds. Even more, I had previously judged bird watchers to be rather dull sorts.5 They’ve reminded me how my world can expand and become enriched when I make the effort to pay attention. What else awaits me in our world, I wonder, that I haven’t yet discovered or noticed?6. Danielle Boyer knew she was interested in robotics from a young age.

Gravity is very weak in space, meaning toilets cannot flush (冲刷) the same way that they do on Earth. In a new contest, NASA is asking inventors from around the world to develop a new space toilet. The space agency is looking for a design that would work both aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as well as on the moon. NASA plans to use this toilet aboard a future lunar lander as part of the Artemis program, which will send humans to the moon by 2024.Anyone can apply to this challenge, and the winning design will receive a $20,000 prize. The second-place design will win $10,000, and the third-place winner will win $5,000. The contest includes a “junior” category in which anyone under the age of 18 can apply with their creative space toilet idea. Winners in the junior category will receive public recognition and NASA souvenirs.Designs should also take up no more than 4.2 cubic feet of space. The toilet itself shouldn’t be louder than 60 decibels, which is about the same volume as a bathroom fan. The space toilet will have to be able to collect both urine (尿液) and fecest (粪便) at the same time. It should be able to hold at least a quarter gallon (1 liter) of liquid waste. It should also be able to hold 17.6 ounces (500 grams) of solid waste. The final requirements are that the system must be able to store or get rid of waste, and it should also be able to be cleaned and maintained in five minutes or less.Hopefully, this toilet will be an improvement on previous systems for waste removal. A waste removal system is a method of disposing of urine and feces.

No matter how much we might like to, though, it’s not always possible to take a vacation from COVID-19. The virus is still circulating widely, including in popular tourist destinations like the U.K., Germany, France, and Italy. That means getting sick while traveling is a real possibility — and one that can turn into an expensive and stressful logistical headache.What happens if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally? To enter the U.S., international travelers currently need either a negative COVID-19 test result obtained within one day of their flight or proof that they have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days. (This policy applies to both U.S .citizens and non-citizens, but children younger than 2 are exempt.) Without one of those documents, you cannot board a U.S.-bound flight. If you test positive, you should isolate and delay travel for 10 days, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).But where do you stay if you need to quarantine (隔离) abroad?And who pays for extended accommodations and rescheduled flights?Specifics vary from country to country, but the short answer is that travelers are often on the hook. Exceptions to the test-to-return policy may be granted on an “extremely limited” basis, such as in the event of an emergency medical evacuation or humanitarian crisis, the CDC says-but the average vacationer won’t have many options beyond paying to extend their stay.A spokesperson for the State Department Jeanna Smialek said travelers who must isolate should contact their hotels and airlines to arrange accommodations and re-book travel, and, if necessary, seek assistance from their nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. The spokesperson added that U.S. citizens traveling abroad are subject to local quarantine rules, which may differ from those of the U.S. CDC．8．What do you need to enter the US if you get COVID-19 while traveling internationally?A．A negative COVID-19 test result．B．A certificate of health recovery in the last 90 days．C．Two weeks’ travel delay．D．Extended accommodations and rescheduled flights．9．What does the underlined phrase “on the hook” in paragraph 3 refer to?A．Should pay the money．B．Be pleasant to stay longer．C．Have no choice but to obey the rule．D．Be not satisfied with the policy．10．According to Jeanna Smialek, which one is not true?A．Accommodations should be booked by travelers themselves．B．American consulate is accessible to isolated travelers．C．Travelers who must isolate have certain restrictions．D．Travelers should obey both local and American quarantine rules．11．What’s the passage mainly about?A．How to isolate during the COVID-19．B．What international travelers should do after test positive．C．COVID-19 isolation spreads in popular tour destinations．D．Isolation policies are different among countries．The vicinity (地区), between southern Angola and northern Namibia, is home to a leafy green plant that can live up to 1,000 years. This “Immortal” plant’s lifespan encourages researchers wondering why, out of all climates the world has to offer, this plant finds itself to thrive in the harsh, dry, and quite unforgiving Namib Desert known to reach less than two inches of rainfall a year.Welwitschia (千岁兰), meaning “two leaves that cannot die,” in Afrikaans, was discovered by biologists Charles Darwin and the botanist Friedrich Welwitsch, whom the plant was named after in 1859. Andrew Leitch, a plant geneticist at Queen Mary University of London, explains, “Generally speaking, this plant can live thousands of years. When it does stop growing, it’s dead.Nature Communications, a study published in July, conducted research to discover and identify the magic within Welwitschia’s genetic makeup. Researchers were able to infer, “Approximately 86 million years ago, after a mistake in cell division, the entire Welwitschia genome (基因组) doubled during a time of increased and prolonged drought in the region.”Additional research concluded that repeated genes lost their defining purposes, allowing some to develop new functions. But because DNA reproduction consumes high levels of energy, repeated genes can at times cause more harm than good, especially in severe weather conditions.This plant also has more magic coming out of its leaves. Unlike most plants, where the leaves grow from the ends of its stem and branches, the Welwitschia’s leaves grow from a “vulnerable” area called the basal meristem (分生组织), which supplies fresh cells to the growing plant. The combination of internal and external factors of the Welwitschia has allowed the plant to continue thriving in extreme temperature conditions. Researchers are hopeful that Welwitschia can also provide insight into the agricultural industry and how we can develop drought tolerant crops. 12．What does the underlined word “thrive” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Grow well.B．Fade away.C．Rise up.D．Break down. 13．What can we infer from the passage?A．The Welwitschia must have a life span of several thousand years or more.B．Copied genes can do more harm than good due to energy consumption.C．Biologist Charles Darwin named the Welwitschia in 1859.D．The Welwitschia’s leaves, like most plants, grow from the basal meristem.14．What can Welwitschia do according to researchers in Paragraph 4?A．Solve the crisis facing the agricultural industry.B．Give a deeper understanding of the agricultural industry.C．Be planted as drought tolerant crops in the future.D．Not bear extreme temperature conditions.15．Which can be the best title for the text?A．Copied Genomes of a Long-lived Plant.B．Two Leaves That Cannot Die.C．The “Immortal” Plant Tells Its Tale.D．Agricultural Development with Welwitschia.Many Americans suffer from chronic (慢性的) conditions connected to their diets.16 .If you are looking for a health super-hero, head to the grocery store. 17 . That is notan exaggeration (夸张). A study found that people of any age who started including healthy foods in their diets improved their chances of living longer. Replacing one serving of red meat a day with one serving of nuts, for instance, was related to an 8-17 percent reduced risk of early death.18 .Lentils (扁豆) contain the highest amount of protein of any plant. They also provide excellent amounts of iron, folate (叶酸), and magnesium. 19 . A quarter cup of dry lentils contains about 13 grams of fiber. A quarter cup of kidney beans has about half that. They are consumed in the Blue Zones, areas of the world famous for having the longest-living and healthiest people.Salmon (鲑鱼) is rich in protein, omega-3s, B vitamins, vitamins D and A．20 . Specifically, they help protect against age-related brain and eye diseases, reduce the risk of heart disease and depression and maintain healthy skin.Blueberries have plenty of nutrition carried in such tiny berries!They have plenty of fiber to keep you full and make your colon moving.
