Part VII Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)参考范文The Importance of Communication Between Parents and ChildrenWhen it comes to the issue of parenting, some people claim that communication is the key to getting a pleasant result. Communication between parents and children is a process in which the two parties have a chance to know what thoughts each have. The reasons why parents and children should communicate with each other and the approaches about how to do it are as follows.As children grow into teenagers, it is common that parents find it hard to know what is going on in their children’s life. Misunderstandings are likely to appear without efficient communication between them. Trying to understand the children is crucial for an efficient parent-children communication. In addition, since teenagers have already suffered a lot of pressure from school learning, parents had better not push them further by keeping telling them to work harder. Otherwise,teenagers may feel their parents care about nothing but scores and refuse to talk with, even hate, their parents.All in all, communication has a vital role to play in avoiding the appearance of that sad thing mentioned in the material. Parents should not put too much pressure to their children and try their best to understand them.。

But this may be just around the corner for people looking for a faster, easier, and cheaper-than-ever way to travel.South African-American inventor and billionnaire Elon Musk, who, in the past, has worked on both private space flight and electric cars, recently announced he has been working on the design of this traveling tube, which could forever change the way we travel the world.In an interview, Musk described the new tube as a fifth kind of transportation. "We have planes, trains, automobiles, and boats, he explained. "What if there was a fifth mode?1 have a name for it. It's called the Hyperloop.…This system I have in mind can never crash, is immune to weather, it goes three or…four times faster than the bullet train it goes at an average speed of twice what an aircraft would do. You would go from downtown L. A. to downtown San Francisco in under 30 minutes.People using the Hyperloop would shoot around in pods, which are each just oversix-and-a-half feet across, and the pods would travel through tubes located either above round or under water.The Hyperloop could even run 24/7, be cheap, and allow people to travel on their own schedule. People could show up at the Hyperloop station whenever they want and be quickly sent on their way.Additionally Musk believes the Hyperloop could be completely powered by the sun making—it more environmentally friendly than cars, airplanes, or train systems. Someday it could3possibly move people between the East and West Coasts of the United States in less than an hour. Eventually the Hyperloop would be able to move people around the world.Musk is not the first person outside of science fiction novelists to dream up vacuum tube technology for moving people. The idea has been around for some time, and inventors in other countries, including China, are reportedly working on similar technology.11.The phrase just around the corner (Para.1) means____________.A preferable（）B forthcoming（）C reliable（）D available（）12.The pod mentioned in the passage is a(n)___________.A tube-shaped music player（）B wireless earphone（）C engine that provides a driving force（）D vehicle that carries passengers（）13.Which of the following is NOT true of Elon Musk?（）A He draws insights from science fictions.B He has tried his hand at space flight.（）C He has manufactured electric cars.（）D He cares for environmental protection.（）14.What can be learned about the Hyperloop?（）A It could be developed at a low cost.B It would remind people of their schedule.（）（）C It could operate round the clock.D It would run at regular intervals.（）15.China is mentioned in the last paragraph in order to________________.（）A demonstrate that it is an innovative countryB give an example of those working on similar technology（）4C show a successful model of vacuum tube traveling（）D indicate a potential for international cooperation（）How are you feeling today? I've got a few aches and pains, but nothing serious. However, when things become more critical, I would normally book myself an appointment with my doctor —although by the time I get to see him, the problem will have probably gone away. That's because in the UK at least, we usually have to wait a few days before the doctor can fit us in.Luckily today, technology has come to our rescue. There are thousands of apps available on our smartphones that can offer first aid advice and allow us to self-diagnose our sickness —ranging from a simple cold or flu to some exotic disease. And together with the internet, we have an ocean of medical information at our fingertips.But is too much knowledge a good thing? By reading up on an illness, we discover its side-effects and what could happen in a worst-case situation. More worrying is that we give ourselves the wrong diagnosis, and then worry ourselves sick that we're going to die. This health anxiety, fueled by the internet, is called cyberchondria. It gives sufferers a deep fear of diseases and, according to experts, it's on the rise. Professor Peter Tyrer from Imperial College London said, We find that approximately four out of five of our patients with health anxiety spend literally hours on the internet. One of the first things we do in treatment is to tell them to stop browsing the internet.A study a few years ago also found many doctors felt intimidated by the increasing numbers of web-wise patients arriving in surgeries. One doctor admitted to not being very happy about patients using the internet, saying, They all seemed to come to me with things I'd never heard of and very often with things which seem rather bizarre or inappropriate. Of course there is no doubt, the world wide web has most of the information we need to diagnose our symptoms, but Doctor Tyrer points out, it doesn't have any judgment associated with it. This is why having a consultation with a doctor face-to-face still has its benefits.It would seem then that a virtual online doctor can prescribe a dose of useful advice, but technology hasn't replaced the human medical expert just yet.516.What does the author try to emphasize in Paragraph 1?A The low efficiency of the healthcare system.（）B The tips for making appointments with doctors.（）C The treatment for common health problems.（）D The critical challenges for general hospitals.（）17.Cyberchondria (Para.3) can be defined as__________.A overdependence on the internet for medical advice（）B too much knowledge about health problems（）C health concerns caused by online information（）D incorrect diagnosis based on web knowledge（）18.According to the doctors, cyberchondria____________.A can be prevented（）B is not unusual（）C is hard to predict（）D may not last long（）19.How do doctors in general feel about web-wise patients?（）A They are surprised at patients' wise use of online information.B They are frightened by patients' blind trust of internet information.（）（）C They are satisfied with patients' sufficient knowledge about diseases.D They are troubled by patients' excessive search for health information.（）20.According to Doctor Tyrer, what is the problem with online medical information? （）A It is usually not sufficient.B It is not always accurate.（）C It fails to give judgment.（）D It provides too much information.（）Many of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of various unethical acts over the past decade. They've wasted tons of food. They've underpaid their6suppliers and they've contributed to excessive plastic waste in their packaging, which has had its impact on our environment.But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice. In response to growing consumer resentment against the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging, some of the largest UK supermarkets have signed up to a pact promising to transform packaging and cut plastic wastage. In a pledge to reuse, recycle or convert all plastic wastage by 2025, supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they play in contributing to the damage to our environment, with one major supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their cwm-brand products by 2023.In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating some of their food surplus. However, charities estimate that they are only accessing two percent of supermarkets' total food surplus, so this hardly seems to be solving the problem. Some say that supermarkets are simply not doing enough. Most supermarkets operate under a veil of secrecy when asked for exact figures of food wastage, and without more transparency it is hard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing surplus food.Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and offering consumers a greener option. Shops like Berlin's Original Unverpakt and London's Bulk Market are plastic-free shops that have opened in recent years, encouraging customers to use their own containers or convertible bags. Online grocer Farmdrop eliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk of huge food surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis via electric cars, offering farmers the lion's share of the retail price.There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste. But perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more sustainable future for us all.21.Which is NOT mentioned as an unethical act of major supermarket chains?7（）A Wasting large amounts of food.B Producing excessive plastic waste.（）C Underpaying their suppliers.（）D Selling goods of poor quality.（）22.The word pact(Para.2) is closest in meaning to ______________.A agreement（）B organization（）C campaign（）D program（）23.According to Paragraph 3, supermarkets' donation of their food surplus___________.A receives high praises（）（）B is considered as a good charityC is regarded as not doing enough（）D arouses more criticisms（）24.Farmdrop is mentioned as an example that provides_____________.A plastic-free bags and containers（）B easier access to fresh produce（）C a great variety of healthy foods（）D goods at more competitive prices（）25.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_____________.A some businesses are reluctant to reduce their waste（）B major supermarkets refuse to do public good（）C some small companies better protect the environment（）D a more sustainable future for all is soon to come（）We all know people who say they have "no sense of direction". Yet for some people that：description is true in all circumstances If they take a single wrong turn on an established route they often become totally lost. This happens even when they are just a few miles from where they live.8This condition is called developmental topographic disorientation ( DTD), the inability to orient within the environment. It didn't even have a formal name until 2009, when Giuseppe laria reported his first case in the journal Neuropsychologia.Ellen Rose had been a patient of mine for years before I realized that she had this life-long learning disability. Like other people with DTD, she can follow a route in pieces, but it never becomes part of a larger spatial understanding. That's because she does not have a larger spatial understanding of her environment.I asked her to draw a diagram of the second floor of the house she shares with her daughter and son-in-law. It was a difficult task for her (she lives on the first floor but is very familiar with the second). She described her effort not as a bird looking down from above, but as a spider crawling across the paper tracing a route from one room to the others. Ellen has always wondered what was wrong with her. She knew that when others ascribed her problems to simply not paying attention they were mistaken. She worried that her problems in traveling might be a sign of something more serious than just getting lost easily, but had no idea what that might be.Finding out that she had DTD was a relief. Knowing that something has a name can be a liberating experience. All of a sudden it is a thing, a concept with defining characteristics. It is in a way, a kind of map.26.What is the relation between Ellen and the author?A Student and teacher.（）B Subject and researcher.（）C Employee and employer.（）D Patient and doctor.（）27.It can be learned that people with DTD____________.（）A are unable to find their position in an environmentB find it difficult to remember where they have been（）C dislike traveling to a faraway place on their own（）（）D are characterized by their inability to concentrate928.From Ellen's difficulty in drawing her own house, we can infer that__________.A observing from high above is more effective than from the bottom（）B common people tend to perceive a space from a bird's eye view（）C it is useful to get familiar with our living environment（）（）D people with DTD have a poor sense of vision29.How did Ellen feel about her DTD?A She had a clear idea what it was and how to deal with it.（）（）B She worried that she might misunderstand people around her.C She thought she could improve her condition by paying more attention.（）D She was afraid that it might bring problems other than disorientation.（）30.The word "map" in the last paragraph probably means____________.A cure（）B design（）（）C proposalD clue（）Face masks are one of the best defenses against the spread of COVID-19, but their growing adoption is having a second, unintended effect breaking facial recognition algorithms(：算法).Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to rise to between 5 percent and 50 percent, a study by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has found. Black masks were more likely to cause errors than blue masks, and the more of the nose covered by the mask, the harder the algorithms found it to identify the face."We need to understand how face recognition technology deals with masked faces," said the author of the report and NIST computer scientist. "We have begun by focusing on how大流行病an algorithm developed before the pandemic () might be affected by subjects wearing face masks. Later this summer, we plan to test the accuracy of algorithms that were intentionally developed with masked faces in mind "10Facial recognition algorithms such as those tested by NIST work by measuring the distances between features in a target's face. Masks reduce the accuracy of these algorithms by removing most of these features, although some still remain. This is slightly different from how facial recognition works on iPhones, for example, which use depth sensors for extra security, ensuring that the algorithms can't be fooled by showing the camera a picture (a danger that is not present in the scenarios NIST is concerned with).Comment 1：Well, that's one good thing to come out of the pandemic. Mass surveillance is nonsense. Time to pair masks up with sunglasses to deliver the decisive stroke.Comment 2：Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to rise sharply Rubbish technology! I would've never guessed.Comment 3：步态There's a reason why some country is already using gait() analysis. Facial recognition is too easy to block or to fool.Comment 4：Pretty soon they are going to do analysis. With the development of AI, there will be…a way out.Comment 5：The AI's getting better, though, so soon it won't matter. Just like how you can pick out a relative or close friend even in bad CCTV footage, so too can AI. Your height, walking gait, mannerisms, voice, ears, clothing, etc, all add up to YOU.31.What is the passage mainly about?A The best way to defend against COVID-19.（）B Efforts to improve facial recognition technology.（）C Methods to fool the facial recognition system.（）D The impact of masks on facial recognition accuracy.（）1132.The NIST study found that compared with blue masks, black masks___________.A were more widely used by the public（）B caused more errors in facial recognition（）C provided better protection against the virus（）D required less complex algorithms（）ment 1 seems to be__________.A in favor of the rules for wearing face masks（）B in favor of the facial recognition technology（）C against the wide use of facial recognition（）D against the requirements for wearing face masks（）34.Which comment views the current facial recognition technology with contempt?A Comment 2.（）B Comment 3.（）C Comment 4.（）D Comment 5.（）35.Which of the following is positive about the future technological advance?（）A Comment 2 and Comment 3.B Comment 1 and Comment 4.（）（）C Comment 3 and Comment 5.D Comment 4 and Comment 5.（）三、完形填空The English countryside has a classic image.

Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People tend to think of personality as fixed. But according to psychologists, that's not how it works. Personality is a developmental phenomenon. It's not just a static thing that you're stuck with and can't get over. That's not to say that you're a different person each day you wake up. In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to be perceived. Long-term studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable on shorter time scales.五、作文47.Write an essay in no less than 150 words on the topic What are the Benefits and：Disadvantages of Online Learning?

Distracted by her phone, she failed to notice the open manhole (下水道窨井) in her path, and plunged into it, taking an unprepared bath of raw sewage along with receiving moderate injuries. Longueira called the dive “really gross, shocking and scary.”It’s not all Longueira’s fault. The manhole shouldn’t have been left uncovered and unattended, and no warning signs or hazard cones had been set Protection (DEP), who was preparing to flush the sewage, helped her out, and the department later issued a formal apology for the incident.Nonetheless, observers are harshly divided over who is to blame here. The DEP is certainly at fault for failing t secure the manhole, but to what extent should the girl be held accountable for failure to be aware of her surroundings? If she had stepped into traffic and been hit by a car, would her reaction (that is： anger and a potential lawsuit) be any different?Detachment from one’s environment due to electronic gadgets is a growing problem-and a hazardous one. The government is even trying to get involved, with multiple laws on the books across the country outlawing cell phone use and text messaging while operating a motor vehicle in the wake of serious accidents involving distracted drivers. New York Senator Kruger even tried to criminalize the use of handheld devices (including phones, music players, and game players) by pedestrians while they are crossing streets in major New York cities, due to concerns over the number of auto vs. pedestrian accidents.Following a substantial outcry, that legislation appears never to have been formally introduced. But did Kruger have a point?What interested me, at least, is the end of the story above that Longueira lost a shoe in the sewage. But since other things are not reported as lost, I’m guessing she appears to have managed to keep her grip on her phone during the accident.31. By “It was an accident waiting to happen”, New York’s WCBS meant that .A. the accident should have been avoidableB. this kind of accidents happen frequentlyC. somebody was glad to see what would happenD. an open manhole is sure a trap for careless pedestrians32. When the girl fell into the open manhole, she .A. was seriously hurtB. was frightenedC. took a bath in the raw sewageD. cried help to the DEP worker33. According to the author, who was to blame for the accident?A. The girl herselfB. The DEP workerC. Both of themD. Nobody34. According to the passage, which of the following is illegal in the U.S.?A. Talking on a cell phone while drivingB. Text messaging while walking across a streetC. Operating music players while drivingD. Operating game players while walking across a street35. The phrase “in the wake of” (Para.5) is closest in meaning to “ ”A. in view ofB. on condition ofC. as far asD. with regard to36. The author found it funny that the girl had .A. lost a shoe in the sewage in the accidentB. reported nothing lost after the accidentC. got a firm hold of her phone during the accidentD. managed to keep herself upright in the manhole。

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Come on—Everybody’s doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the word.The idea seems promising, and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer. Her critique of the lameness of many public health campaigns is spot on: they fail to mobilize peer pressure for healthy habits, and they demonstrate aseriously flawed understanding of psychology dare to be different, please don’t smoke! Pleads one billboard campaign aimed at reducing smoking among teenagers, who desire nothing more than fitting in. Rosenberg argues convincingly that public health advocates ought to take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.But on the general effectiveness of the social cure, Rosenberg is less persuasive. Join the Club is filled with too much irrelevant detail and not enough exploration of the social and biological factors that make peer pressure so powerful. The most glaring flaw of the social cure as it’s presented here is that it doesn’t work very well for very long. Rage against the Haze failed once state funding was cut. Evidence that the Love Life program produces lasting changes is limited and mixed.There’s no doubt that our peer groups exert enormous influence on our behavior. An emerging body of research shows that positive health habits as well as negative ones spread through networks of friends via social communication. This is a subtle form of peer pressure: we unconsciously imitate the behavior we see every day.Far less certain, however, is how successfully experts and bureaucrats can select our peer groups and steer their activities in virtuous directions. It’s like the teacher who breaks up the troublemakers in the back row by pairing them with better behaved classmates. The tactic never really works. And that’s the problem with a social cure engineered from the outside: in the real world, as in school, we insist on choosing our own friends.21. According to the first paragraph, peer pressure often emerges as ______.A. a supplement to the social cureB. a stimulus to group dynamicsC. an obstacle to school progressD. a cause of undesirable behaviors22. Rosenberg holds that public advocates should ______.A. recruit professional advertisersB. learn from advertisers’ experienceC. stay away from commercial advertisersD. recognize the limitations of advertisements23. In the author’s view, Rosenberg’s book fails to ______.A. adequately probe social and biological factorsB. effectively evade the flaws of the social cureC. illustrate the functions of state fundingD. produce a long lasting social effect24. Paragraph 4 shows that our imitation of behaviors ______.A. is harmful to our networks of friendsB. will mislead behavioral studiesC. occurs without our realizing itD. can produce negative health habits25. The author suggests in the last paragraph that the effect of peer pressure is ______.A. harmfulB. desirableC. profoundD. questionablePassage TwoThe decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2009. For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last！” Wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober sided classica l music critic.One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times, calls him“an unpretentious musician with no air o f the formidable conductor about him”.For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one. To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music. All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes.Devoted concert goers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention, and money of the art loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. There recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today’s live performances; moreover, they can be consumed at a time and place of the listener’s choosing. The widespread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbe rt’s own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into a markedly different, more vibrant organization. But what will be the nature of that diffe rence? Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America’s oldest orchestra and the new audience it hopes to attract.26. We learn from P ara.1 that Gilbert’s appointment has ______.A. incurred criticismB. raised suspicionC. received acclaimD. aroused curiosity27. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is ______.A. influentialB. modestC. respectableD. talented28. The author believes that the devoted concert goers ______.A. ignore the expenses of live performancesB. reject most kinds of recorded performancesC. exaggerate the variety of live performancesD. overestimate the value of live performances29. According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?A. They are often inferior to live concerts in quality.B. They are easily accessible to the general public.C. They help improve the quality of music.D. They have only covered masterpieces.30. Regarding Gilbert’s role in revitalizing the Philharmonic, the author feels ______.A. doubtfulB. enthusiasticC. confidentD. puzzledPassage ThreeIt’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful, provocative magazine cover story, I Love My Children, I Hate My Life, is arousing much chatter—nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment to moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past tense condition. Even though the day to day experience of rai sing kids can be soul crushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight”.The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a baby is hardly the only Madonna and child image on newsstands this week. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom to be, smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten killing? Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world. Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like US Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it, raising a kid on their own.It’s hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous. But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress free, happiness enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contrib uting to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting—the Rachel might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston.31. Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring ______.A. temporary delightB. enjoyment in progressC. happiness in retrospectD. lasting reward32. We learn from Paragraph 2 that ______.A. celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossipB. single mothers with babies deserve greater attentionC. news about pregnant celebrities is entertainingD. having children is highly valued by the public33. It is suggested in Paragraph 3 that childless folks ______.A. are constantly exposed to criticismB. are largely ignored by the mediaC. fail to fulfill their social responsibilitiesD. are less likely to be satisfied with their life34. According to Paragraph 4, the message conveyed by celebrity magazines is ______.A. soothingB. ambiguousC. compensatoryD. misleading35. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.B. Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child rearing.C. Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.D. We sometimes neglect the happiness from child rearing.Passage FourWhen you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Human beings remains as blood thirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age.It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of 'the sporting spirit is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.36. It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s opinion of nowadays’ human beings is ______.A. not very highB. highC. contemptuousD. critical37. The main idea of this passage is ______.A. vicious and dangerous sports should be banned by lawB. people are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violenceC. to compare two different attitudes towards dangerous sportsD. people are blood thirsty in sports38. That the author mentions the old Romans is ______.A. to compare the old Romans with today’s peopleB. to give an exampleC. to show human beings in the past know nothing betterD. to indicate human beings are used to blood thirsty39. How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage?A. Three.B. Five.C. Six.D. Seven.40. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is ______.A. that, by banning the violent sports, we human beings can improve our selvesB. that, by banning the dangerous sports, we can improve the lawC. that we must take positive steps to improve social welfare systemD. to show law is the main instrument of social changeSection BDirections: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.For centuries, people have wondered about the strange things that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives. In fact, ma ny experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person’s mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentieth century that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.Opinion 1The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book, The Interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreams are an expressions of a person’s wishes. He believed that dreams allow people to express the feelings, thoughts, and fears that they are afraid to express in real life.Opinion 2The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student of Freud’s. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. He thought people could learn more about themselves by thinking about their dreams. For example, people who dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dream about being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.Opinion 3Modern day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person’s daily life, thoughts, and behavior. A criminal, for example, might dream about crime. Dormhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as much as adults. Accordingto Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skill that needs time to develop. He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different. For example, the people in men’s dreams are often other men, and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true of women’s dreams. Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.Opinion 4Can dreams help us understand ourselves? Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. However, one thing they agree on this: if you dream that something terrible is going to occur, you shouldn’t panic. The dream may have meaning, but it does not mean that some terrible event will actually take place. It’s important to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.41. Which does main subject matter of this passage mainly concern?A. What is a dream?B. Can dreams help us understand ourselves?C. What factors are tightly linked to human dreams?D.

Choose the best answer and markyour answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIt sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie or a silly cartoon: a futuristic traveling tube that can quickly shoot people wherever they want to go, inside a tiny pod. But this may be just around the corner for people looking for a faster, easier, and cheaper-than-ever way to travel.South African-American inventor and billionaire Elon Musk, who, in the past, has worked on both private space flight and electric cars, recently announced he has been working on the design of this traveling tube, which could forever change the way we travel the world.In an interview, Musk described the new tube as a fifth kind of transportation. “We have planes, trains, automobiles, and boats,”he explained. “Wha t if there was a fifth mode? I have a name for it. It’s called the Hyperloop.”“This system I have in mind...can never crash, is immune to weather, it goes three or four times faster than the bullet train...it goes at an average speed of twice what an aircraft would do. You would go from downtown L.A. to downtown San Francisco in under 30 minutes.”People using the Hyperloop would shoot around in pods, which are each just over six-and-a-half feet across, and the pods would travel through tubes located either above round or under water.The Hyperloop could even run 24/7, be cheap, and allow people to travel on their own schedule. People could show up at the Hyperloop station whenever they want and be quickly sent on their way.Additionally Musk believes the Hyperloop could be completely powered by the sun—making it more environmentally friendly than cars, airplanes, or train systems. Someday it could possibly move people between the East and West Coasts of the United States in less than an hour. Eventually the Hyperloop would be able to move people around the world.Musk is not the first person outside of science fiction novelists to dream up vacuum tube technology for moving people. The idea has been around for some time, and inventors in other countries, including China, are reportedly working on similar technology.21.The phrase “just around the corner”(Para. 1) means“_______”.A.preferableB.forthcomingC.reliableD.available22.The “pod” mentioned in the passage is a(n)________.A.tube-shaped music playerB.wireless earphoneC.engine that provides a driving forceD.vehicle that carries passengers23.Which of the following is NOT true of Elon Musk?A.He draws insights from science fictions.B.He has tried his hand at space fight.C.He has manufactured electric cars.D.He cares for environmental protection.24.What can be learned about the Hyperloop?A.It could be developed at a low cost.B.It would remind people of their schedule.C.It could operate round the clock.D.It would run at regular intervals.25.China is mentioned in the last paragraph in order to_________.A.demonstrate that it is an innovative countryB.give an example of those working on similar technologyC.show a successful model of vacuum tube travelingD.indicate a potential for international cooperation参考答案：BDADBPassage TwoHow are you feeling today? I’ve got a few aches and pains, but nothing serious. However, when things become more critical, 1 would normally book myself an appointment with my doctor —although by the time I get to see him, the problem will have probably gone away. That’s because in the UK at least, we usually have to wait a few days before the doctor can fit us in.Luckily today, technology has come to our rescue. There are thousands of apps available on our smartphones that can offer first aid advice and allow us to self-diagnose our sickness—ranging from a simple cold or flu to some exotic disease. And together with the internet, we have an ocean of medical information at our fingertips.But is too much knowledge a good thing? By reading up on an illness, we discover its side-effects and what could happen in a worst-case situation. More worrying is that we give ourselves the wrong diagnosis, and then worry ourselves sick that we’re going to die. This health anxiety, fueled by the internet, is called “c yberchondria”. It gives sufferers a deep fear of diseases and, according to experts, it’s on the rise. Professor Peter Tyrer from Imperial College London said, “We find that approximately fou r out of five of our patients with health anxiety spend literally hours on the internet. One of the first things we do in treatment is to tell them to stop browsing the internet.”A study a few years ago also found many doctors felt intimidated by the increasing numbers of web-wise patients arriving in surgeries. One doctor admitted to not being very happy about patients using the internet, saying: “They all seemed to come to me with things I’d never heard of and very often with things which seem rather bizarre or inappropriate.”Of course there is no doubt, the world wide web has most of the information we need to diagnose our symptoms, but Doctor Tyrer points out “it doesn’t have any judgment associated with it.” This is why having a consultation with a doctor face-to-face still has its benefits.It would seem then that a virtual online doctor can prescribe a dose of useful advice, but technology hasn’t replaced the human medical expert just yet.26.What does the author try to emphasize in Paragraph 1?A.The low efficiency of the healthcare system.B.The tips for making appointments with doctors.C.The treatment for common health problems.D.The critical challenges for general hospitals.27.Cyberchondria (Para 3) can be defined as.A.overdependence on the internet for medical adviceB.too much knowledge about health problemsC.health concerns caused by online informationD.incorrect diagnosis based on web knowledge28.According to the doctors, cyberchondria.A.can be preventedB.is not unusualC.is hard to predictD.may not last long29.How do doctors in general feel about web-wise patients?A.They are surprised at patients’ wise use of online information.B.They are frightened by patients’ blind trust of internet information.C.They are satisfied with patients’ sufficient knowledge about diseases.D.They are troubled by patients’ excessive search for health information.30.According to Doctor Tyrer, what is the problem with online medical information?A.It is usually not sufficient.B.It is not always accurate.C.It fails to give judgment.D.It provides too much information.参考答案：ACBBCPassage ThreeMany of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of various unethical acts over the past decade. They’ve wasted tonnes of food, They’ve underpaid their suppliers and they’ve contributed to excessive plastic waste in their packaging, which has had its impact on our environment.But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice. In response to growing consumer resentment against the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging, some of the largest UK supermarkets have signed up to a pact promising to transform packaging and cut plastic wastage. In a pledge to reuse, recycle or convert all plastic wastage by 2025, supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they play in contributing to the damage to our environment, with one major supermarket announcing their plan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their own-brand products by 2023.In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating some of their food surplus. However, charities estimate that they are only accessing two per cent of supermarkets’total food surplus, so this hardly seems to be solving the problem. Some say that supermarkets are simply not doing enough. Most supermarkets operate under a veil of secrecy when asked for exact figures of food wastage, and without more transparency it is hard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing surplus food.Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and offering consumers a greener option. Shops like Berlin’s Original Unverpakt and London’s Bulk Market are plastic-free shops that have opened in recent years, encouraging customers to use their own containers or convertible bags. Online grocer Farmdrop eliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk of huge food surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis via electric cars, offering farmers the lion’s share of the retail price.There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste. But perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move towards a more sustainable future for us all.31.Which is NOT mentioned as an unethical act of major supermarket chains?A.Wasting large amounts of food.B.Producing excessive plastic waste.C.Underpaying their suppliers.D.Selling goods of poor quality.32.The word “pact”(Para.2) is closest in meaning to “”.A.agreementanizationC.campaignD.program33.According to Paragraph 3, supermarkets’ donation of their food surplus.A.receives high praisesB.is considered as a good charityC.is regarded as not doing enoughD.arouses more criticisms34.Farmdrop is mentioned as an example that provides.A.plastic-free bags and containersB.easier access to fresh produceC.a great variety of healthy foodsD.goods at more competitive prices35.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that.A.some businesses are reluctant to reduce their wasteB.major supermarkets refuse to do public goodC.some small companies better protect the environmentD.a more sustainable future for all is soon to come参考答案：DACBCPassage FourWe all know people who say they have “no sense of direction.”Yet for some people that description is true in all circumstances: If they take a single wrong turn on an established route they often become totally lost. This happens even when they are just a few miles from where they live.This condition is called developmental topographic disorientation (DTD), the inability to orient within the environment. It didn’t even have a formal name until 2009, when Giuseppe Iariareported his first case in the journal Neuropsychologia.Ellen Rose had been a patient of mine for years before I realized that she had this life-long learning disability. Like other people with DTD, she can follow a route in pieces, but it never becomes part of a larger spatial understanding. That's because she does not have a larger spatial understanding of her environment.I asked her to draw a diagram of the second floor of the house she shares with her daughter and son-in-law. It was a difficult task for her (she lives on the first floor but is very familiar with the second). She described her effort not as a bird looking down from above, but as a spider crawling across the paper tracing a route from one room to the next.Ellen has always wondered what was wrong with her. She knew that when others ascribed her problems to simply not paying attention, they were mistaken. She worried that her problems in traveling might be a sign of something more serious than just getting lost easily, but had no idea what that might be.Finding out that she had DID was a relief. Knowing that something has a name can be a liberating experience. All of a sudden it is a thing, a concept with defining characteristics. It is in a way, a kind of map.36.What is the relation between Ellen and the author?A.Student and teacher.B.Subject and researcher.C.Employee and employer.D.Patient and doctor.37.It can be learned that people with DTD________.A.are unable to find their position in an environmentB.Find it difficult to remember where they have beenC.dislike traveling to a faraway place on their ownD.are characterized by their inability to concentrate38.From Ellen’s difficulty in drawing her own house, we can infer that________.A.observing from high above is more effective than from the bottommon people tend to perceive a space from a bird’s eye viewC.it is useful to get familiar with our living environmentD.people with DTD have a poor sense of vision39.How did Ellen feel about her DTD?A.She had a clear idea what it was and how to deal with it.B.She worried that she might misunderstand people around her.C.She thought she could improve her condition by paying more attention.D.She was afraid that it might bring problems other than disorientation.40.The word “map” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.A.cureB.designC.proposalD.clue参考答案：DADDDSection BDirections:In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each withfour suggested answers A,B,C and D. Choose the best answer and mark you answeron the Answer Sheet.Face masks are one of the best defenses against the spread of COVID-19, but their growing adoption is having a second, unintended effect: breaking facial recognition algorithms(算法).Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to rise to between 5 percent and 50 percent, a study by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has found. Black masks were more likely to cause errors than blue masks, and the more of the nose covered by the mask, the harder the algorithms found it to identify the face.“We need to understand how face recognition technology deals with masked faces,” said the author of the report and NIST computer scientist. “We have begun by focusing on how an algorithm developed before the pandemic (大流行病) might be affected by subjects wearing face masks. Later this summer, we plan to test the accuracy of algorithms that were intentionally developed with masked faces in mind.”Facial recognition algorithms such as those tested by NIST work by measuring the distances between features in a target’s face. Masks reduce the accuracy of these algorithms by removing most of these features, although some still remain. This is slightly different from how facial recognition works on iPhones, for example, which use depth sensors for extra security, ensuring that the algorithms can’t be fooled by showing the camera a picture (a danger that is not present in the scenarios NIST is concerned with).Comment 1Well, that’s one good thing to come out of the pandemic. M ass surveillance is nonsense. Time to pair masks up with sunglasses to deliver the decisive stroke.Comment 2“Wearing face masks that adequately cover the mouth and nose causes the error rate of some of the most widely used facial recognition algorithms to rise sharply.” Rubbish technology! I would’ve never guessed.Comment3There’s a reason why some country is already using gait(步态) analysis. Facial recognition is tooeasy to block or to fool.Comment 4Pretty soon they are going to do…analysis. With the development of AI, there will be a way out.Comment 5The AI’s getting better, though, so soon it won’t matter. Just like ho w you can pick out a relative or close friend even in bad CCTV footage, so too can AI. Your height, walking gait, mannerisms, voice, ears, clothing, etc, all add up to YOU.41.What is the passage mainly about?A.The best way to defend against COVID-19.B.Efforts to improve facial recognition technology.C.Methods to fool the facial recognition system.D.The impact of masks on facial recognition accuracy.42.The NIST study found that compared with blue masks, black masks________.A.were more widely used by the publicB.caused more errors in facial recognitionC.provided better protection against the virusD.required less complex algorithmsment 1 seems to be________.A.in favor of the rules for wearing face masksB.in favor of the facial recognition technologyC.against the wide use of facial recognitionD.against the requirements for wearing face masks44.Which comment views the current facial recognition technology with contempt?ment 2.ment 3.ment 4.ment 5.45.Which of the following is positive about the future technological advance?ment 2 and Comment 3.ment 1 and Comment 4.ment 3 and Comment 5.ment 4 and Comment 5.参考答案：DBCADPart IV Cloze (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with ten blanks.

People imagine that life in the country is slow and calm; that there are no traffic jams, no pollution, and no crime. In some places, this is true; but in 46 it is not.Small towns and villages are becoming more and more 47 ; people have more space and most houses have gardens. But problems are 48 . Lots of people want to live in the country and work in the city; so more and more people travel 49 distances each day, to go to work. Of course they don’t use buses or trains; they use cars. Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning, just 50 big cities!The problems are very complicated! If everyone moves into the country, the peace of the countryside will 51 !

But according to psychologists, that’s not how it works. Personality is a developmental phenomenon. It’s not just a static thing that you’re stuck with and can’t get over. That’s not to say that you’re a differe nt person each day you wake up. In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to be perceived. Long-term studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is stable only on shorter time scales.参考译文:人格是一个人独一无二的思维、感觉和行为模式。

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneThe science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any one point. Different views must be integrated, to give a perspective to the whole picture.One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of thescience called synoptic（天气的）meteorology.Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and meteorological diagrams. In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefit are obtained in the form of the saving of human lives and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of the science of meteorology is constantly to make great efforts, through study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts.The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic meteorology.31.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. Limitation of Meteorological ForecastingB. New Advances in Synoptic MeteorologyC. Approaches to the Science of MeteorologyD. The Basic of Dynamic Meteorology32.The predictions of synoptic meteorologists are directly based on the ______.A. application of the physical sciencesB. preparation and study of weather mapsC. anticipated needs of industryD. observations of commercial airline pilots33.Which of the following is not referred to by the author as a field whose needs are served by weatherforecasting?A. TransportationB. ManufacturingC. FarmingD. Sports34.Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the third paragraph of the passage?A. A procedure is explained and its importance is emphasized.B. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.C. Recent scientific advancements are outlined in order of importance.D. A problem is examined and possible solutions are given.35.In the last sentence of the passage the phrase “the tools” refers to ______.A. weather forecastsB. meteorological problemsC. mathematics and physicsD. economic advantagesPassage TwoA few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their educations, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society, and in the rapid pace at which society changes.36.Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?A. The Sudden Appearance of the Generation Gap.B. Argument over the Nature of the Generation Gap.C. The Causes and Nature of the Generation Gap.D. The Ways to Eliminate the Generation Gap..37.Which one is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. American society is changing very fast.B. young people like to choose their own life styles.C. Parents place high hopes on their children.D. Modern education makes them think differently.38.In American society, young people often ______.A. rely on their parents to make a lifeB. seek the best advice from their parentsC. have very little in common with their parentsD. stay with their parents in order to get an opportunity for higher education39.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the reading passage?A. Parents should be more tolerable towards their children.B. The generation gap is partly created by the elder generation.C. The generation gap should be avoidable in American society.D. The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom.40.According to the author, the generation gap______.A. appeared a long time ago and will cease to exist in the near future.B. appeared a long time ago and will continue to exist in the near future.C. only exists in the modern society when everything is changing rapidly.D. is harder to be reduced because of the rapid development of the modern society.Passage ThreePrivacy can be as dicey an issue within the household as it is our on the Web itself. There are thousands of families in which reading the kids’e-mail, monitoring their chats and tracking their Web travels is a solemn parental obligation. “I have every right to read their e-mail.”Says Bruce Cohen, a Reno, Nev., father of two. “Legally, I’m responsible for them until they’re 18.”Yet many others believe that invading a e-mail file is no different from opening a pen-and-paper diary that your daughter keeps under lock and key in a dresser drawer. A lot of parents- not to mention kids – find that a breach of parent-child trust.But even if e-mail is considered inviolate, there are tactics by which the alert parent can control it. America Online, the Internet service provider used by nearly 17 million households, allows parents to limit incoming e-mail to a finite list of correspondents. In any e-mail program, a scan of the senders’ addresses can give you a good idea of the nature of your kid’s correspondents. The proliferation of mailing lists being such a Web commonplace, what’s coming in can sometimes tell you what’s been going out: even unsolicited e-mail-from, say, a Ku Klux Klan site – can be a clue that someone’s been surfing some pretty scary pages.In fact, this sort of Web transparency can actually be a boon to worried parents. If your teenager is going places in the material world and doing things that you wouldn’t approve of, you may never know it. If he’s connecting with the world’s ugliness on the Web, you may have a chance to track it down. Some parents make a regular practice of typing their kids’ names and nicknames into a search engine, which gives the parents a shot at discovering what the kids are saying on their own websites or on message boards and what others are saying about them.Every parent should also take advantage of the wonderful excuse the Web has given us to keep credit cards from our teenage kids. Entry past the first or second level to most porn sites - and to other beyond-the-pale operations of hustling Web entrepreneurs – is governed by the ability to key in a valid card number.41.The passage is mainly about ______.A.the way to monitor children’s on-line activitiesB. parent’s rights in children’s on-line activitiesC. children’s rights in on-line activitiesD. America on-line service for parents42.Parents can control their children’s E-mail by all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. scanning the mailing listsB. typing kids’ names into a search engineC. keeping credit cards from childrenD. standing regularly beside the computer43.The word “breach” means ________.A. neglectB. respectC. protectD. strengthening44.Through checking the no-line communication of their children, the parents can ______.A. know where they often goB. find in time that they are connecting with someone dangerousC. know what kind of people they like to stay withD. find in time that they are going ugly places45.What is the author’s attitude towards the parents’ right to check their children’s E-mail?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Not clearPassage FourIt seems obvious that trapping more of the sun’s heat will make the planet hotter. But what seems obvious isn’t always true. According to some respected scientists, there’s a chance that global warming could plunge us into , of all things, an ice age.The argument hinges on the Gulf Stream, the ocean current that brings warm surface water north and east and heats Europe. As it travels, some of the water evaporates; what’s left is saltier and thus denser. Eventually the dense surface water sinks to the sea bottom, where it flows back southward. And then, near the equator, warm, fresh water from tropical rivers and rain dilutes the salt once again, allowing the water to rise to the surface, warm up ad begin glowing north again.But with global warming, melting ice from Greenland and the Arctic Ocean could pump fresh water into the North Atlantic; so cold the increased rainfall predicted for northern latitudes in a warmer world. Result: the Gulf Stream’s water wouldn’t get saltier after all and wouldn’t sink so easily. Without adequate resupply, the southerly underwater current would stop, and the Gulf Stream would in turn be shut off.If that happens, Europe will get very cold. Rome is, after all, at the same latitude as Chicago, and Paris is about as far north Dakota. More snow will fall, and the bright snow cover will reflect more of the sun’s energy back into space, making life even chillier. Beyond that, the Gulf Stream is tied into other ocean currents, and shutting it down could rearrange things in a way that would cause less overall evaporation. Because atmospheric H2O is an important greenhouse gas, its loss would mean even more dramatic cooling – a total of perhaps as much as 80 C（170 F）Worst of all, the experts believe, such changes could come on with astonishing speed –perhaps within a decade or less. And while we might have a great deal of trouble adjusting to a climate that gets 20 C (40 F) warmer over the next century, an ice age by mid-century would be unimaginably devastating. The lingering uncertainty about whether our relentless production of greenhouse gases will keep heating our planet or ultimately cool it suggests that we should make a better effort to leave the earth’s thermostat alone.46.The major point held in this passage is that eventually______.A. the greenhouse effect will cause the global warmingB. the global warming will lead to an ice ageC. the global warming will make the world half cold and half hotD. the greenhouse effect will bring us warm and clear water47.The argument about ice age depends on ______.A. greenhouse effectB. the Gulf StreamC. sun’s heatD. melting ice from Arctic Ocean48.The Gulf Stream refers to ______.A. streams flowing in gulfsB. the ocean current in Arctic OceanC. the ocean current northward and eastward heating EuropeD. streams coming from the melting ice from Greenland49.Europe will get very cold when ______.A. there is more rainfall in northern latitudesB. the southerly underwater current stop with global warmingC. there is more snow for major European citiesD. There is heavier green house effect on the earth.50.The global warming will cause all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. cooling EuropeB. the loss of atmospheric H2OC. melting ice from GreenlandD. even much warmer EuropePassage FiveTelevision – the most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth – is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.The word “television”, derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (visio: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image (focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.Television is more than just an electronic system, however, it is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings.The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad – based airwave transmission of television signal. Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.51.What is the literal meaning of the word “television”?A. Medium of the masses .B. Sight from a distance.C. Airwave transmission.D. Vehicle for communicationD. mocks annual performance reviews.52.Which of the following is NOT true as a function of electronics in television transmission?A. Converting an image into electronic impulses.B. Sending impulse through a wire cable.C. Feeding impulses into a receiver.D. Changing one image into another image.53.Which of the following is characteristic of non-broadcast television?A. It meets the needs of the massesB. It is a means of entertainmentC. It is broadcast through broad-based airwave transmissionD. It is broadcast through controlled transmission techniques.54.What does the word “purveyors” (In the last paragraph) most probably means?A. SuppliersB. ConveyersC. CustomersD. Companies55.What can be inferred from the passage with regard to the relationship between television and it viewers?A. Viewers have grown tired of television.B. Viewers are satisfied with the broadcast networks.C. Viewers can participate in this dynamic medium.D. Viewers don’t take an active role in watching television.Part IV Cloze (15 minuets, 15 points)Directions:In this part, there is a passage with fifteen blanks. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark the corresponding letter on your ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Most people who travel long distance complain of jetlag（喷气飞行时差反应）.Jetlag makes business travelers less productive and more prone 56 making mistakes. It is actually caused by 57 of your “body clock”– a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of biological 58 . The body clock is designed for a 59 rhythm of daylight and darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when it 60 daylight and darkness at the “wrong” times in a new time zone. The 61 of jetlag often persist for days 62 the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone.Now a new anti-jetlag system is available that is based on proven 63 pioneering scientific research. Dr. Martin Moore – Ede has 64 a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone 65 controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and eliminates 66 of the discomfort of jetlag.A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact time to either 67 or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make jetlag worse. The proper schedule 68 light exposure depends a great deal on specific travel plans.Data on a specific flight itinerary（旅行路线）and the individual’s sleep pattern are used to produce a Trip Guide with 69 on exactly when to be exposed to bright light.When the Trip Guide calls for bright light you should spend time outdoors if possible. If it is dark out-side, or the weather is bad, 70 you are on an aeroplane, you can use a special light device to provide the necessary light stimulus for a range of activities such as reading, watching TV or working.56.
