AMany of the world’s most people were once successful failures. Here are the stories of a few of them.Abraham Lincoln（1809-1865）Abraham Lincoln was one of America’s greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War（from 1860 to 1865）. However, his life was never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed, he went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”Vincent Van Gogh（1853-1890）Van Gogh is one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art. He’s renowned for paintings such as The Starry Night. The potato Eaters and Sunflowers. However, during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, something even going without food so he could complete his collection of over 800 known works.Albert Einstein（1879-1955）Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t always considered a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he as slow, so he was expelled from school and couldn’t get into the Zurich Polytechnic School. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress.”Stephen King（born 1947）Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all time, but his first book, Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers. Eventually, Stephen threw it in the bin, but his wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, which he did…successfully this time!21.Which statement is true about Abraham Lincoln？A. He led the American War of IndependenceB. He never succeeded in his businessC. He was full of courage and perseveranceD. He is the greatest president of the United States22.Who became famous all over the world after his death？A. Albert EinsteinB. Vincent Van GoghC. Albert EinsteinD. Stephen King23.What was the most likely reason for Albert Einstein’s dropping out of school？A. He was too slow to learnB. He couldn’t speak or readC. His teacher thought he was stupidD. He didn’t obey the school rules24.What do these people have in common？A. They are all AmericansB. They are known for their writingsC. They were born in the same centuryD. They all suffered failure before they succeededBThe world’s population is projected to reach 11 billion by the end of the century.Feeding that many people will be a challenge, and it is further complicated by the impact of climate change on agriculture. That is why some people advocate an unusual way to boost the food supply and feed people sustainably by eating less meat and more insects.About 2 billion people already eat bugs. Mexicans enjoy chilly-toasted grasshoppers.Thais tuck into cricket stir-fries and Ghanaians snack on termites. Insects are slowly creeping on to Western menus as novelty items, but most people remain squcamish（拘谨）.Yet there are three reasons why eating insects makes sense.First, they are healthier than meat. There are nearly 2000 kinds of edible insects, many of them packed with protein, calcium, fiber, iron and zinc. A small serving of grasshoppers can contain about the same amount of protein as a similar sized serving of beef, but has far less fat and far fewer calories.Second, raising insects is cheap, or free. Little technology or investment is needed to produce them. Harvesting insects could provide livelihoods to some of the world’s poorest people.Finally, insects are a far more sustainable source of food than livestock. Livestock production accounts for nearly a fifth of all greenhouse-gas emissions, that’s more than transport. By contrast, insects produce relatively few greenhouse gases and raising them requires much less land and water. And they eat almost anything.Despite all this, most Westerners find insects hard to swallow.One solution is to use protein extracted from bugs in other products such as ready meals and pasta sauces. Not having to look at the bugs and emphasizing the environmental benefits might make the idea of eating insects a bit more palatable.25.What is the direct reason why some people advocate eating insects？A. Insufficient food supplyB. Climate changeC. The rapid increase of populationD. Insects’high nutrition26.From the passage, we can infer that .A. eating insects is healthier than eating beefB. eating insects is popular among westernersC. eating insects can help people lose weightD. eating insects causes less damage to the environment27.How can we make it more acceptable to eat insects？A. By closing your eyes when eating insectsB. By eating insects together with other foodC. By putting insects’ nutrients into other food productsD. By considering the environmental benefits of eating insectsCDaniella Wride was brushing her daughter’s long brown hair when she noticed that with each stroke, clumps of it were coming out. That was January 1, 2017, Within 20 days, seven-year-old Gianessa Wride’s hair and eyebrows were completely gone, and her dermatologist said they would never grow back. Gianessa had become one of the 6.8 million Americans with alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.Alopecia isn’t painful, but for kids who suffer from it, the agony comes from standing out from the crowd. For the most part, the students in Gianessa’s first-grade class in Salem, Utah, were understanding. But the occasional taunt（嘲弄）of “Baldy” made her feel like an outcast. “I did not want her to not feel beautiful,” her mother told Today.Then the school announced its “Crazy Hair Day” competition in April, and Daniella and Gianessa decided that rather than hiding Gianessa’s baldness under scarves or a wig（假发）, they would celebrate it. Daniella bought scrapbook-sticker jewels and decorated her daughter’s head with floral designs and even an owl. “They just fit her personality,” Daniella t old CNN. “She’s so lively.”On the morning of the competition, Gianessa was nervous. Would her friends think it was funny or freaky？ She had nothing to fear. Bedazzled Gianessa was a hit-and the winner of the crazy-hair competition. Gianessa is now glad s he dared to go bare. “I was sad at first when I lost all my hair,” she told p eople, “but now I love being bald. I can do things to my head that other kids can’t. I’m thinking now it might be fun to decorate my head with some sparkly butterflies and flowers.”28.Why did Gianessa become bald？A. Because she wanted to be differentB. Because she had all her hair cutC. Because her mother combed her hair too oftenD. Because she suffered from a kind of disease29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “agony” in Paragraph Two？A. WorryB. DelightC. PainD. Pride30.How does Gianessa feel about her baldness after the “Grazy Hair Day”？A. OptimisticB. UpsetC. IndifferentD. Worried31.What is the best title for the passage？A. Gianessa’s hair was goneB. Being bald is beautifulC. Crazy hair dayD. An incurable diseaseDI’d have to say that the schemes to reduce staff absence and increase punctuality（准时）have been a big success. We’ve seen that staff attendance levels have increased from 88% to 93%, and levels of punctuality have increased from 79% to 91%, which is fantastic. And the number of days that staff have taken off for sickness has dropped from an average of nine days per year to just five. There has also been a general increase in motivation at work, and we’ve seen output increase by at least 16% since this time last year.So, what have we been doing to improve things？Well, for a start, we’ve been introducing a scheme so that employees get bonuses if company production targets and sales figures are met. And if things carry on as they are, all employees will have received a bonus by the end of next month. We’ve also introduced a system whereby employees and managementset personal targets. Then, the individual employee receives a bonus if these targets are met. And to help with punctuality, we’ve installed a new system that records exactly what time people are getting in and leaving the office. This has helped improve punctuality rates substantially.Another initiative has been the installation of a games room for employees to use during mid-morning and lunch breaks. We’ve found that it’s a great way to motivate staff, giving them time to relax. As part of this, we’ve bought a ping pong table, a basketball hoop and a darts board. And by next week, the two table-football tables that we ordered last month will have arrived. Since opening the games room, staff have been using it constantly, especially the beds that we bought to allow staff to have a short nap during the day. Along similar lines, we’ve also organized a number of teambuilding excursions.32.Why does the author list some figures in Paragraph One？A. T o prove the plans work wellB. To show employees to be more punctualC. T o present the production grows obviouslyD. T o prove the increase of workers’ attendance33.What have they done to help with punctuality？A. They’ve set personal targetsB. They’ve weakened demands on employeesC. They’ve introduced a scheme to give employees bonusesD. They’ve recorded workers’ coming and leaving by a new system34.What has been most popular in the games room？A. A ping pong tableB. A darts boardC. A basketball hoopD. A nap bed35.As readers, who may benefit most from this article？A. StudentsB. ManagersC. T eachersD. Farmers第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

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.Consider the Mechanical PencilIf you used to collect small objects, I’m sure(if you were anything like my younger self) that you used to collect mechanical pencils.In one of the math preparatory classes I (21)______(go) to in elementary and middle school, we used to receive mechanical pencils as prizes for doing well on the in-class exams or answering questions in class. This was (22) ______ I built up my collection of Cadoozles, which are short mechanical pencils decorated with brightly colored spaceships and ice cream bars. But I’ve long since used up all my Cadoozles and a majority of the mechanical pencils that I (23) ______ (hide) in an empty mooncake tin so many years before, which makes me reflect fondly back on those old days, when receiving a mechanical pencil was as easy as drinking a glass of water.Mechanical pencils are not only more convenient than your traditional Ticonderoga in the sense that they never need (24) ______ (sharpen); they also produce thinner, cleaner lines, which is extremely important for drawers and drafters. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly, since you don’t have to buy (25) ______ wooden pencil whenever you run out of lead(铅芯). You can simply refill your mechanical pencil! There is only one slight negative I must remark on, (26) ______ is that as someone who calls mechanical pencils “lead pencil” in casual conversation, the term “lead pencil” is confusing. Mechanical pencil lead is actually not made from the chemical element lead. It is made from a mixture of graphite and clay, which (27) ______ not give you lead poisoning. This is contrary to what my third-grade teacher said when she saw my classmate John clicking his mechanical pencil against his index finger out of boredom: “John, stop that! You’re going to get lead poisoning!” I think all the third-graders (and teachers) in the world would feel much (28) ______ (safe) if they knew what really made up the pencils they use every day.It used to be so easy to grab a mechanical pencil whenever I needed one, but (29) ____________ the mooncake tin has become increasingly lighter, I have learned to appreciate my writing instruments more. Perhaps I should have collected a few more Cadoozles when I was younger; perhaps I should have appreciated the feeling of holding up the mooncake tin when it was three-quarters full, hoping that there would always be a new pencil for me (30) ______ (use) tomorrow.Section BDirections: Complete 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.A.threatenedB.designedC.preferencesD.typicallyE.experimentalF. theoreticalG.abandoned H.instruments I.constantly J.extensive K.persuasiveScience Isn’t Always Perfect— But We Should Still Trust ItFrom environment pollution to climate change, we make decisions every day that involve us in scientific claims. Are genetically modified crops safe to eat? Is climate change an emergency? In recent years, many of these issues have become politically polarized, with people rejecting scientific evidence that is opposite their political 31 . When Greta Thunberg, the youthful climate activist, was asked by one member why we should trust the science, she replied, “because it’s science!”For several decades, there has been a(n) 32 and organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by regulated industries and libertarian think-tanks whose interests and beliefs are 33 by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space.That answer isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not 34 . After all, just because scientists more than 400 years ago were right about the structure of the solar system doesn’t prove that a different group of scientists are right about a different issue today.An alternative answer to the question—Why trust science? —is that scientists use “the scientific method.” If you’ve got a high school science textbook lying around the house, you’ll probably find that answer in it. But this answer is wrong. But what is 35 declared to be the scientific method—develop a hypothesis(假设), then design an experiment to test it—isn’t what scientists actually do. Historians of science have shown that scientists use many different methods, and these methods have changed with time. Science 36 changes: new methods get invented, old ones get 37 , and any particular point in time scientists can be found doing many different things. And that’s a good thing, because the so-called scientific method doesn’t work. False theories can produce true results, so even if an experiment works, it doesn’t prove that the theory it was 38 to test is true. There also might be many different theories that could produce that same 39 result. On the contrary, if the experiment fails, it doesn’t prove the theory is wrong; it could be that the experiment was badly conducted or there was a fault in one of the 40 .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.Travelling, at least travelling any considerable distance, means dealing with airports. I’ve seen my share of airports. They come in several 41 . The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main waiting area was smaller than many school classrooms, security and ticket checking were both 42 by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in. It was even smaller than Canada’s Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two 43 on our flight.At the other extreme are the 44 , modern airports in the world’s major cities. LAX, in Los Angeles has two parallel runways and provides the unusual opportunity to watch out the window of your landing aircraft as another one lands right beside you. Some, such as Beijing’s Capital International Airport, SeaTac in Seattle and the International Airport in San Francisco, like those in Hong Kong and Shanghai, have 45 terminals connected by different buses or underground trains. Finding a connecting flight often means changing terminals, which can be a little 46 .Heathrow airport in London, England, 47 that bigger is not always better. Heathrow consists of terminals used by various 48 and is centered around an area that contains stores and restaurants. At Heathrow the tired traveller gets the 49 that they want you to spend your time in the stores because they won’t announce the gate from which your flight will leave until about an hour before flight time. Given that they start to get people onto the planes half an hour before takeoff that leaves just 30 minutes to find and 50 your gate, some of which are a 25-minute walk from the store area. There is absolutely no 51 for this because the airport authorities know even before the day begins how many flights are arriving and departing and where they plan to put them. If I have just come off one long flight and I’m waiting for another, what I want is a quiet place, not an area 52 bright lights and noisy shoppers.Travel, for me, is interesting but when I have to fly, getting there is 53 not half the fun. Airplanes are a very efficient way to move people long distances and airports are a(n) 54 part of the process. Most airports do their best to provide a good travelling experience but they are to be 55 , not really enjoyed.41. A. types B.cities C.areas D.sizes42. A. identified B.handled C.promoted D.processed43. A. guards B.astronauts C.pilots D.passengers44. A. tremendous B.crowded C.international D.fashionable45.

A. effective B.optional C.necessary D.suitable55. A. simplified B.endured C.declared D.paralleledSection 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 read.(A)Sometimes when she felt bored, she would pick up one of the numerous biographies(传记) about herself and begin to note on it. “I never did that” or “simply not true” she would write roughly in the margins at the sides of pages. Since journalists, biographers and more recently even “bloggers” had been writing about her since the day she was born, there was plenty of material to edit. Not that her notes or corrections were ever shared with the authors. Lately, however, she even seemed to have lost her appetite for correctness. Did it matter anymore if things were not right?She knew that sitting alone chewing away on downbeat thoughts would not get her anywhere and would leave those around her confused and upset, should they ever catch her out. After all she was the decisive one, always on top of her game. A printed timetable for the following day lay on the table. A full day of openings and presentations, of smiling and nodding and flowers.Shaking herself out of her gray mood, she stepped over towards the computer where a sudden burst of energy gave her an idea. The screen flashed up in front of her but instead of clicking on the familiar icons which would lead her to the emails Randolph had considered she needed to read, she simply went to visit Mr. Google and began her search for train timetable.A dish heaped with multi-coloured jellies and plenty of ice cream, served by a white-gloved train waiter with a perfect moustache. So many years had passed but she still remembered the jelly dissolving on her tongue in small but delicious mouthfuls. Each spoonful had to be lifted delicately to her mouth under the watchful eye of her grandmother, who was a stickler for good manners. It was unlikely that they served jelly on the trains these days, what with all the concern about childhood fatness, but even a Spartan menu could not kill the romance of a train journey. As the timetable for Linehurst line flashed in front of her, she remembered that the Mayor of Alwoy would be expecting her to make a short, predictable speech at the opening of the new bridge.56.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.The main character is probably a journalist writing blogs about royal members.B.The main character is always busy editing plenty of material about herself.C.The authors probably had chances to get the notes or correctness from the main character.D.Randolph is probably an assistant or a secretary to the main character.57.Why does the main character recall the time she ate jellies and ice cream?A.She wishes that she were still a child so that she could eat jellies and ice cream.B.She is reminded of these foods because the thought of a train journey reminds her of them.C.She wishes she still knew where the handsome train waiter was.D.Today’s children aren’t allowed to eat the same things that she ate as a child.58. A “Spartan menu”(paragraph 4) would most likely ___________________.A.have mainly low fat, healthy foodsB.be suitable for a romantic dinnerC.include a range of sweets, but no jellyD.include foods which are easy to transport59.What is most likely to happen next in this passage?A.The main character will practise her speech for greeting the Mayor of Alwoy.B.The main character will decide to take a rail journey.C.Randolph will send some emails to the main character.D.The main character will update her blog on the internet.Canals have to be built on a level, otherwise the waterdrains out of them and the canal becomes useless. This wasthe great problem facing the early canal builders, and theyovercame it in different ways. The early engineers like JamesBrindley simply followed the outlines of the countryside andkept their canals level even though it often meant choosingvery roundabout routes.Later engineers, such as Thomas Telford, developed anew technique known as ‘cut and fill’ in which they fixed alevel through very accurate surveying. This allowed them tofill in the hollows on a route with the exact amount of soilthey took from the higher ground. By this method, verydirect routes could be taken, which cut down the time of ajourney very considerably. A good example of this type ofcanal is Telford’s Liverpool and Birmingham Junction Canal,which he began in 1826 to provide a direct route from theMidlands to the River Mersey.It was seldom possible to build a completely level canal,of course, whichever method was used, and most canals wereprovided with locks in which barges were raised or loweredto new levels. If you look at the diagram on the right, youcan see a barge being raised in a lock by means of waterwhich was allowed into the lock basin, or pound, from theupper level of the canal. When a barge had to be lowered,water was allowed out of the pound into the lower level ofthe canal.60.Brindley’s canals were less efficient, most likely because _______________.A.he was not a good canal engineerB.the techniques and skills available at the time were uselessC.his canals were built to keep the water drains outD.they had too many roundabout routes61.According to this passage, why was the ‘cut and fill’ technique designed?A.The outlines of the land could not be followed directly.B.It could make travelling distances shorter and save journey time.C.New surveying techniques had been invented successfully.D.The distance between the Midlands and River Mersey is great.62.Locks are needed in canals to _______________.A.help boats to travel in both directionsB.keep water levels changing all the timeC.allow large ships to travel in canalsD.transfer boats across differing water levelsIn the ancient world, the practice of medicine was inescapably linked to supernatural belief and magic. That was until the Greeks made advances in the field and brilliant figures such as Hippocrates laid the foundations for our medicine today. Recognized as the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates realised what seems obvious to us today—that the observation and noting of symptoms is primary. He travelled across Greece teaching medicine, encouraging the view that disease had physical, not supernatural, explanations.Medical students still take the Hippocratic Oath, a formal promise made by new doctors that they will follow the standards set by their profession and try to preserve life, swearing to use their skills to heal and do no harm. One of Hippocrates’ theories was of the ‘four humours’, a belief that disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids supposedly contained in the human body—blood, phlegm, and black and yellow bile(a liquid produced by your organ which helps you to digest fat).Blood-letting was a common response to illness and was used until only 150 years ago in the mistaken belief that it would restore the body’s internal balance. But while the Greeks may have been wrong about the bleeding and the bile, they were still the first civilization to understand that diseases could be treated by using careful observation and logical thought.Aristotle, political theorist, philosopher and teacher, also studied the natural world from a scientific point of view. He was the first to classify organisms, and although his method may seem simple now, he divided them into two basic categories, as either plant or animal—he was the first to do so. Aristotle valued experimentation and discovered that evaporation, the process of becoming a vapour, turned salt water into fresh water. He was also a believer in the theory that all matter is composed of four elements—fire, earth, water and air.Hippocrates believed the four humours, related to the four liquids in the body, were each in line with an organ, a season and with different moods. The four were based on the Greeks’ idea of four base elements (air, water, fire, earth). Although discredited now, the humours formed the basis of western medicine until the 18th century. They were: -Blood from the liver: associated with Spring; with courage and hope-Phlegm from brain and lungs: Winter; calm and unemotional-Yellow bile from gall bladder (胆囊): Summer; anger and bad temper-Black bile from spleen(脾脏): Autumn; with blue and dark mood63.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.It was the Greeks that made advances in the field of practice of medicine in the ancient world.B.The Hippocratic Oath is a formal promise made by new doctors to swear their responsibilities.C.Hippocrates thought disease was caused by an imbalance of the four liquids contained in the human body.D.Hippocrates was the first to believe diseases could be treated by careful observation and logical thought.64.The practice of blood-letting was based on the belief that ____________.A.the blood was polluted by virusesB.the human body was not evenly balancedC.the patient was in a bad humourD.too much blood was bad for people65.How did Aristotle find out that salt water can be turned into fresh water?A.He studied many books from a scientific point of view.B.He drew the conclusion according to the two basic categories.C.He made the discovery based on conducting experiments himself.D.He believed that all matter consists of four base elements.66.Why is Hippocrates considered the founder of modern medicine?A.He proved that there are four base elements in all matter in the world.B.He showed the procedure of how the four bodily liquids affected moods.C.He insisted that almost all diseases had supernatural explanations.D.He recognized the importance of the observation and noting of symptoms.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.Current evidence suggests that many of these benefits continue into adulthood.B.To increase physical activity for adolescents, the authors need to identify the many causes and inequities.C.The authors say that levels of insufficient physical activity in adolescents continue to be extremely high.D.To improve levels of physical activity among adolescents, the study provides some recommendations as follows.E.The authors note that adolescents’ participation in physical activity will continue into adulthood.F. The study highlights that young people have the right to play and should be provided with the opportunities torealize their right to physical and mental health and wellbeing.Adolescents Worldwide Not Sufficiently Physically ActiveNew WHO-led study says majority of adolescents worldwide are not sufficiently physically active, putting their current and future health at risk. 67 “Urgent policy action to increase physical activity is needed now, particularly to promote and keep up girls’ participation in physical activity,” says study author Dr Regina Guthold, WHO.The health benefits of a physically active lifestyle during adolescence include improved heart and lungs fitness, bone health and positive effects on weight. There is also growing evidence that physical activity has a positive impact on cognitive development and socializing. 68To achieve these benefits, the WHO recommends for adolescents to do moderate or vigorous physical activity for an hour or more each day. The authors estimated 80 percent of teens do not meet this recommendation by analysing data collected through school-based surveys on physical activity levels.69 Urgent scaling up is needed of known effective policies and programmes to increase physical activity in adolescents. Multisectoral action is needed to offer opportunities for young people to be active, involving education, urban planning, road safety and others. The highest levels of society, including national, city and local leaders, should promote the importance of physical activity for the health and well-being of all people, including adolescents.70 Strong political will and action can address the fact that four in every five adolescents do not experience the enjoyment and social, physical, and mental health benefits of regular physical activity. Policy makers and stakeholders should be encouraged to act now for the health of this and future young generations.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions: Read the following passage.

Use your own words as far as possible.Singapore’s Information Technology StrategySingapore’s information technology strategy rests on two major legs. The first leg is world-class basic facilities. Being a city-state, it is relatively easy to connect every home, office and hotel room. Our objective is to provide broad-band everywhere, either wired or wireless. We will make it a readily available utility like water, electricity, gas and telephone. We are well on our way there. We now require, by regulation, every new home to be equipped with broad-band in the same way as it is required to have water and electricity.The second leg is the education of our entire population in IT(information technology). Like reading, writing and arithmetic, computers are best learnt when we are young. Today’s children can click the mouse faster than we can blink. In many countries, children of middle-class families have no difficulty with this new technology. But, without special effort, there is a danger that children of poorer families will miss out on the opportunity to learn IT. Like the piano and violin, one can still learn the computer as an adult. But rarely does one acquire the same facility. The strategy in Singapore is therefore to teach information technology to every child regardless of his family background. The Education Ministry now has a multi-billion dollar programme to provide one computer for every 2 schoolchildren in Singapore from first grade onwards. Every teacher will have a notebook.Most Singaporeans now understand the importance of IT, if not for themselves, at least for their children and grandchildren. Over 40% of households in Singapore now own PCs. Over one-third of households in Singapore already enjoy access to Internet. What we want is for every Singaporean to be computer literate so that he can function effectively in any bank, factory or restaurant, just as one would expect an employee to be able to read, write and count. An employer in Singapore in the future should not have to worry that his employee does not know how to use a computer or the Internet.。

Unfortunately,they got(22)____(lose),and then they ran out of fuel.After a long time drifting without power in the ocean,they landed on the tiny island of Pikclot,more than100km from their destination.Pikclot is just450meters long and280meters wide.The highest point on Pikclot is only four meters above the sea.No people live there,and there is no water.The little island(23)___(cover) in trees and has sandy beaches.Three days after the three sailors set out on lheir voyage,they did not arrive at their destination, so ships and aircraft in the area began looking for the(24)____(miss)men.But it was almost impossible to decide where(25)(look)because there arc so many small islands and the ocean is so large.One of the ships was the Australian navy ship HMAS Canberra,which(26)____(sail) from Australia to Hawaii and had a helicopter on board.During this time,the three sailors decided to write(27)___message on the beach on their tiny island.They wrote a huge SOS in the sand.SOS is an international signal that people use(28)___ they need help.Luckily,people on an American aircraft saw the SOS message in the sand and contacted the Canberra.A helicopter(29)____the ship landed on the beach and gave the men food and water.Soon after,a Micronesian boat arrived and rescued the three sailors.They are very lucky to be alive,and it was the SOS message in the sand(30)____saved them.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.qualitiesB.benefitsworkpletelyE.disappointedF.improvingG.motivateH.requiredI.effectivelyJ.essentialK.surveyedDon't abandon the written WordWay back in2012.Kyle Wiens.CEO of1F1X wrote in a blog post fbr Harvard Business Review that he wouldn't hire anyone who used poor grammar.In fact,he_31—all applicants to take a grammar test before moving fbrwaid.According to Wiens,he's"found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something_32_unrelated to writing—like stocking shelves or labeling parts.Whafs more,he believes that grammar skills indicate several other valuable_33_,including learning ability,professional credibility(信用)and attention to detail. Another CEO named Brad Hoover noted that good grammar is a predictor of professional success.Honestly ask yourself w hether you'd hire someone with a poorly written resume.Will this person be able to deliver on your business plan?How_34_will they be able to communicate your goals and expectations?How likely is it that they will be able to successftilly_35_with others and build your brand?In short,if you want to succeed—as a boss or an employee—good grammar is __36_.<4Grcat leaders can understand how to use it well in context/'wrote Kevin Daum in an article.As a leader,you must be able to manage,organize,_37_and support your team.Strong communication skill both written and verbal,allow you to accomplish that.If you sent an employee poorly written instructions,how probable is it that you'll both be38in the outcome-and each other?Writing,specifically by hand has numerous_39_fbr your health and well-being.Researchers have also found that handwriting,in particular the fbnning of letters,is the key to not only_40_ your memory but also forming new ideas and learning.In fact,if you want to slow down mental aging,writing by hand is your best bet because it forces you to use more of your motor skills.111.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the f ollowing passage there are j our words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank w ith the word or phrase that best J its the context.A study from Switzerland's Universite de Geneve(UNlGE)looked to answer the question of which came first:a decrease in physical activity or cognitive(认知的)decline?^Interrelationships have been_41_between these two factors,particularly in terms of memory but also regarding the growth and survival of new neurons(神经元)said Boris Cheval,a researcher at UNIGE'S Swiss Centre fbr Afieclive Sciences(CISA)in a press release."Blit vve have never yet_42_tested which comes first:Does physical activity prevent a decline in cognitive skills or_43_?That's what wc wanted to_44_Earlier studies have considered that physical activity_45_cognitive decline.But according to Cheval,recent studies may_46_that past research has"only told half the story...since those recent studies demonstrate that our brain is_47_when it comes to engaging in physical activity.''

each of them there are f our choices marked A,B.C and D.Choose the one that J its best according to the information given in the passage you have j ust read.(A)“Runners,to your mark.Get set...”Bang!And I was off.along with a bunch of other teenage cross-country runners from high schools across the county.The day was like any other fair-weather autumn day in Maryland.But the race that day felt unique from the get-go.For one thing,1liked the course.It was my team's home course,one I was used to running during practices.It took runners along an area of land that included open fields,hills and even winding dirt paths through a small forest.It was a beautiful5-kilomctcr course.This particular race was our team's invite,and I was proud to be sharing the course with competitors from other schools.It also meant a lot—more than normal that my parents were there to cheer me on.With so much to expect that day,I was ready to run!And I didn't want to be stuck with the pack of other runners,as is typical at the beginning of m ost cross-country races.So when the gun sounded, I took off running,leaving everyone else in the dust.The first part of our course followed the outside edge of a large open field before disappearing into the forest.Within seconds of the start,I was far ahead of everyone,and all of the fans could see it.It felt magnificent.But that feeling didn't last long.Little did I know my coach was laughing to himself;thinking,“Gabc is done tor!''And I was.My body was telling me to slow down.My pride,however,said "No!Not until you're out of sight of the spectators!''1was in agony,but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest.Once in among the trees.1slowed way down.I enjoyed most races,even while pushing myself,but this one was not enjoyable in the least.I finished the race,but in nowhere near the time I could have if I'd paced myself well from the beginning.Every time I reflect on that cross-country season.I'm reminded of something:Pride is no substitute fbr pace.56.What is special to the author about the race?A.The weather condition was good fbr runners.B.He was familiar with the home course.C.He took pride in competitors fiom other schools.D.I lis parents came to support him as usual.57.The underlined word"agony"(paragraph4)most probably means______.A.sufferingfortC.reliefD.contest58.What result of the race can be concluded about the author from the passage?A.He left everyone behind and took the first place.B.He took the lead first and disappeared among trees.C.He won the race under the pressure of his coach.D.He finished the race but failed to reach his record.59.What's the author's reflection on the race?A.It is parents'encouragement that leads to the result.B.It's a pleasure to live up to your fans'expectations.C.It's important to pace yourself with no pride.D.It is his coach who encourages him to finish the race.(B)Ever look at your to-do list and want to run and hide?Me too.But life is more than working hard to finish tasks,collapsing into bed,judging the past24hours and our success by how much we've managed to tick off.So here's how to get stulTdone and eiijoy yourself at the same time.1.Rename itMy friend Jim Kwik says,“Call your^got-to-do,list your'get-to-do'list.''It's a tiny change but a major shift.Think about it.You get to walk your dog,choose wonderfuldinner ingredients and go to a job each day that affords you thelifeyou have2.Add some actionInstead of writing plain reminders down as memory urges,like“Dentist”and"Report,"add some verbs and result-based benefits,like“Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!''or "Complete report and let out your breath/'Imagine the good feeling attached to each agenda item and let it fuel you.3. Trust there's timeHave you ever noticed when you're in a rush,you make mistakes?Like when you're late fbr work:You can't find your jeans,you hurt yourtoe on the bed by accident and you misplace your phone as you headdown the elevator.When we operate from a place of calm,stufl'happens faster.We find what we need.We don't burn the toast.It can be as simple as sitting up in bed.taking ten deep breaths when you wake up and setting a simple intention fbr the day(not reaching straight fbr Instagram and email).4.Ask vourself thisHow arc you spending your days,your life?Arc you having enough fun?Can your got-to-do list be a get-to-do list with some good moods dancing on the page and an air of‘1got time!'' attached to it?Yes,it probably can.Now,what's first?60.Which of the following docs the author agree with about tk your to-do list''?A.Choose wonderftil dinner ingredients and go to a job each day.B.Change"Dentist"into"Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!”C.Remind yourself you have plenty of time to deal with daily routines.D.Keep asking yourself questions with the air of"I got time!''Though I consider“Be constructive,not destructive"the most solid one-sentence social moral code,it is not without its nuances and problems.For instance,the degree to which we consider something constmctivc or destmetive,definitions of being constructive and destnictivc,and constmction and destruction seen through a sociopolitical lens arc all nuances.These differences consist of the confusion that this ideal social moral code causes.However.I cannot imagine a better code than the one stated in this essay in terms of living one's life in a social context.63.From the author's view whether to punish a kid's wrong doing or not depends on what extentA.it would bring him benefits or harmsB.his act is constructive or destructiveC.he would modify his destructive behaviorD.his destructive result might bring about64.The author mentions the example of killing Hitler to show that____.A.killing someone is definitely termed a destructive actB.killing Hitler is seen as a constructive and positive actC.the majority of people would agree lo kill HillerD.definitions of social code decide our values and principles65.What does the underlined sentence(paragraph4)imply?A.Construction and destruction can advance social developments.B.Constmction can be seen as good to some,and bad to others.C.Wliat a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive.D.Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook does not mean it is correct.66.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Wrong or Right of Social Moral CodeB.Ideal Social Moral CodeC.Judgment of Construction or DestructionD.How to Live One's Life in a Social ContextSection CDirections:Read the f ollowing passages.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are tw o more sentences than you need.st.fni allows users to listen to music for free,as well as buy tracks.B.The website Last.fm is a convenient and useful resource fbr music lovers.C.There are plenty of websites that allow music lovers to stay in touch with the news relatingto their hobby.D.If you want to use Last.fm fbr communication,you might find that traditional socialnetworks arc more suitable for this purposeE.This website is of great benefit fbr music enthusiasts.F.This technology is convenient and definitely helpful fbr music lovers.A Useful Tool for Music LoversWith the development and expansion of the Intenict.many hobbies and interests of modem people have gained a new dimension.The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share their excitement about trends,to communicate and share experiences.Specialized websites provide users with evenmore information about their subjects of interest and help discover new boundaries of their passions. This refers to movies,arts,modeling,programming,literature,and music as well.One can hardly find a person who would not be listening to music on the way to work,at home,or elsewhere.(67)______________________.One such website is Last.fin:a mix of a social network and an Intemet-radio that tracks down the music its users listen to.(68).Besides,it has a number of advantages compared to other sources providing similar services.The design of Last.frn gives a welcoming impression,though some might find it too simple.The site is displayed in red tones,with the possibility of switching it to a black skin and,despite the quantity of information,is easy to understand and ers can also decorate their profiles with pictures of themselves,all kinds of badges,diagrams,tag clouds,and statistics relating to music.The availability of multiple functions also speaks in favor of Last.frn.One of its significant advantages over many other musical websites is the function of scrobbling(歌曲记录)，which means tracking down the music one had been listening to.(69)______________________.With its aid, Last.frn searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent.These people arc called neighbors and the idea is that they can get familiar with the tans of their favorite kind of music and,most likely,make new friends.The information about upcoming events nearby,as well as recommendations given about new music that a user might like are also gathered and introduced by the means of scrobbling.If a person listens to one or two bands on a consistent basis,the website will display a few new artists that play in a similar genre,including new ones,so that a user can be in touch with the latest trends within their musical interests.(70)______________________.However,there is a serious drawback connected to it.The fact is that the majority of free tracks and albums are available only to citizens of the USA,Germany, and Great Britain,while in other countries,users can only listen to short introductory samples.And yet those lucky ones from the places mentioned betbre can listen to one track online up to five times a day.Besides,the website had recently changed its policy towards monetization and reduced the number of free st.frn also works as a kind of musical Wikipedia,providing users with biographies of bands,or actual musicians.There is hardly a need to mention that musicians can also benefit from using the resource,presenting infoimation about themselves and involving fans.71.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize(he main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as j ar as possible.Beyond IdentityWe often think of ourselves as our body,mind,and emotions.We take these three elements and make a combination.However,wc also often talk about a person's soul.Is there any scientific basis for the soul?Surprisingly,there is.Each unique personality a person has(even in circumstances of memory loss and other illnesses),the feeling and identity of the self beyond age(especially experienced as wc grow older),and our inevitable subjective experience as an individual consist of a scientific foundation fbr the soul.Despite the constant shift in the links between our brain cells,wc remain essentially the same personality.This consistency is most obvious in the case of mentally ill patients or people who have experienced memory loss.According to Scientific American:Basically,no matter what happens to our brain,our unique personality seems to shine through.Besides one's personality,the soul of a person can be identified through one's consciousness. Though\vc commonly identify with our body and what we see in the mirror,wc also have a sense that wc arc not a certain age—as our sense of self usually leans less on age and rather on our subjective feeling of who we arc essentially.Lastly,each person is inevitably subjective about his or her experience.Despite humans being very,very similar to each other in DNA and overall composition,our understanding of reality is vastly diftcrcnt from individual to individual.According to Psychology Today,“While science has made tremendous progress explaining the functioning of the brain,why we have a subjective experience remains mysterious.The problem of the soul lies exactly here,in understanding the nature of the self the，T'in existence that feels and lives life.The soul of a person is incredibly challenging to prove scientifically.However,we can say that the soul has some basis in science.These realities of our behavior,character,and the way you notice things might not be tested strictly,but they arc very difTicult to deny.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the f ollowing sentences into English,using the words^iven in the brackets.72.他在整理书籍时发现r一本旧LI记e(run)73.过度使用手机会对我们的身体造成不良影响。

One Mother to AnotherOn Wednesday evening, our daughter, who was at a boarding school over 200 kilometers away, told us that she had lost her phone when she took part in an activity off campus. We realized that we had little chance of finding it.The next morning, my phone beeped (哔哔响) loudly. A kind voice announced that she had something that belonged to my daughter. I 1 that I lived a three-hour drive away, and told her I would ask a friend to fetch the phone. My daughter had written my number on the inside of her phone’s case—good thinking!After contacting the people I know who lived near the school, I was out of 2 —no one could go and 3 the phone, not surprisingly as it was the working day and everyone was busy. I decided to ask the lady to post the phone to my daughter. But when I sent her a text to ask if this would be OK, she replied, “We will 4 it and we’re going to drive down to the boarding school tonight.” To my 5 , this wonderful couple, who had already spent a busy day at work, was making a round trip on the night, 6 for returning a phone to a complete stranger. How touching it was!I gave them directions and they 7 the phone into the hands of my daughter at her boarding house. The only word of an explanation was, “I’ve got children of my own, and I know how a mother 8 .”We had thought that the chance of getting back the phone was 9 , but we got it back in such a short time.
