ANavigating Border SecurityYou may think what you say on WeChat is your own business, but apparently the Canadian aut horities don’t agree. In other words, you need to be fully aware of the items you’re not allowed to bring before you travel abroad.Obscene(淫秽)and pirated(盗版)materialsIn many Western countries, possessing and transporting underage porn(黄色书刊)is considered a serious crime. According to the United States Department of Justice, a first-time offender charged with producing child porn faces fines and 15 to 30 years in prison. The website of UK Visas and Immigration also listed pirated copies of movies and music as illegal, because they infringe upon intellectual property rights. If you’re caught bringing pirated products into the UK, the products will be confiscated, and you may face prosecution(起诉).Food, animals and plantsAccording to Australia’s Departmen t of Immigration and Border Protection, Australia has strict quarantine laws. Animals from overseas could bring diseases and pests into the country and destroy the local environment.CashThere is a limit of cash you can bring when traveling abroad. According to UK Visas and Immigration, the maximum amount of cash(including bankers’ drafts and checks) you can bring into the country is￡10, 000(87, 000yuan). You’ll have to declare it if you’re bringing more, or you could face a fine of up to ￡5, 000(43, 500 yuan). But if you’re entering the UK from another European Union country, you don’t need to declare your cash, no matter how much you have.Other itemsCustoms rules vary from country to country. For example, when entering Australia you also need to declare traditional medicines because they may contain endangered plant or animal products. Heritage-related goods, including artworks and stamps, also need to be declared. This is why you should always check the local customs website to make sure of what you can put into your luggage, and of course, your electronic devices.21. Which of the following items may be allowed to bring without declaring when you enter Australia?A. Traditional medicines.B. Pet dogs and cats.C. Stamp albums.D. Story books.22. What can we know from the passage?A. Travelers should declare their cash when entering the UK from Germany.B. Both the USA and the UK have laws against obscene and pirated materials.C. You can bring more than￡10, 000 without declaring when you enter the UK from China.D. Taking traditional medicines to Australia may destroy the local environment.23. Where is the article above probably taken from?A. A travel brochure.B. A fashion magazine.C. An exhibition guide.D. A science report.BAbout a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear that this was a business call. “I want to appl y to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?”My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that.People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my big gest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.24. Why did Lori make the call?A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook.D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook.25. What impressed “I” by Lori?A. Lori was good at running recruiting.B. Lori attached great importance to Face book’s needs.C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.26. What can we infer from the passage?A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.27. What is the best title of the passage?A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a ladder.B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem.C. Applying for a Job in Facebook.D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.COne day last year I was walking home from school when 1 passed Spiderman on the street. Minutes later I saw a crowd of teenagers posing for a picture with Dr. Who, and just around the corner the Joker was having a chat with Ariel the mermaid. No, I wasn’t dreaming. Comic Con was in town!Comic Con, which is short for Comic Convention, is an event where fans gather to share and observe their love for comic-related pop culture. The first Comic Book Conventions were held in the USA in the1960s and since then they have become extremely popular all over the world, with some of the bigger events attracting crowds of much more than just comic books on show at a Comic Con. The most popular events have expanded to include many other types of media and art forms, for example, manga, sci-fiction, video games and TV series.Of course there are a lot of goods on sale at a Comic Con. From comic books to posters and T-shirts to toys. the choices are endless but there is one thing in particular that sets Comic Cons apart from ordinary trade fairs and that is cosplay. Cosplay is the name given to dressing up as your favorite characters from comics, TV and other genres represented at Comic Cons and it has become common for the fans, own costumes and some of them are very delicate. Cosplaying has become an important part of Comic Cons all over the world and there are even competitions for thebest cosplay!Going to a Comic Con is like stepping into another world full of superheroes, time travellers, monsters and robots! It is a great place to be your favourite character for a day and share your love of all things comic-related with other like-minded people.28. What might be the author last year?A. A play writer.B. A film maker.C. A school student.D. A TV reporter.29. Which of the following is UNTRUE according to Paragraphs 2-3?A. The first Comic Book Cons took place in America in the 1960s.B. Fans at Comic Cons share and celebrate their favourite comics.C. Competitions are held at Comic Cons for those best cosplays.D. Comic lovers sell self-made cosplay costumes at Comic Cons.30. What distinguishes Comic Cons from ordinary trade fairs?A. Cosplay.B. Costumes.C. Goods on sale.D. Media and art forms.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The author is fed up with Comic Cons.B. The author is crazy about Comic Cons.C. The author takes charge of Comic Cons.D. The author does well in creating characters.DThere is a lot o f talk about “brain power.” You don’t usually hear about stomach power. As it turns out, the stomach might also be very powerful with a new electronic pill inside it. The new electronic pill, equipped with a Wi-Fi transmitter, is swallowed and can harvest energy from inside a person’s own stomach to record core(核心)body temperature and then send the health data to an outside monitor.The model can power itself for nearly a week —much longer than current absorbable devices, which are placed inside the body and only can share health information for less than an hour. “To make the device work even longer, and see if the stomach’s acid could power the device, we used tiny pieces of copper and zinc for experiments.” said Philip Nadeau, an electrical engineer who designed the device together.The Wi-Fi devices fit inside a capsule but unfold when they hit the stomach and deliver drugs for long periods of time before they break down and pass through the body. This Wi-Fi pill could lead to fresh opportunities for drug delivery or real-time health monitoring from inside organs, said Giovanni Traverso, a doctor and biomedical engineer at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, who coled a study of the pill published recently in Nature Biomedical Engineering.Despite ou r many medical advances, we’re pretty bad at measuring core body temperature. A recent study of 8, 600 patients found thatthermometer(温度计)readings from the mouth or skin did a lousy job of measuring core temperature. Getting an accurate temperature is important.Traverso and Nadeau are also aiming to shrink(缩小)the pill to the size of a tablet. “Temperature tracking is just the first of many ways the medical community can use the device.” Traverso thinks.32. What is WRONG about the Wi-Fi pill?A. The Wi-Fi device is powered by itself.B. The pill can send health data to the doctor.C. Nadeau is the first one to design the pill.D. The pill can help monitor patients’ health.33. What does the underlined word “lousy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Accurate.B. Unimportant.C. Terrible.D. Traditional.34. What is Traverso’s attitude to the future of the Wi-Fi pill?A. Pessimistic.B. Unconcerned.C. Worried.D. Optimistic.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The Wi-Fi pill is too big for the patients to swallow.B. The pill may help those with other diseases in the future.C. Body temperature is the only one use for the Wi-Fi pill.D. The pill has been used in many ways in medical field.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。

AUrban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation&Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation(bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period(one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options. Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:◆Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.◆If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.◆Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.◆Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it. 21. What is the advantages of using transit passes over buying tickets? A. Lower costs.B. Safer trips.C. Longer service hours.D. More use of transport.22. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities? A. By offering fewer transportation options. B. By running special transport services. C. By limiting their mobility on city buses. D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.23. What is considered impolite on public transportation? A. Lowering your speaking voice. B. Placing backpacks at your feet. C. Having your proof of payment at hand.D. Staying close to other passengers. BIt was a cold winter. The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding. When morning came, my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows. As we looked out of the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone. Our three hens had been blown away by the cold wind.I looked at the emptiness outside. Then I saw all three chickens sitting around the edge o f a white bucket. I couldn ’t believe my eyes! How was this violent wind not blowing them into the field beyond? I quickly pulled on long snow pants and heavy winter coat, wrapped a scarf around my neck and stuck my feet into large boots.I shouted at the wind as it blew. I was alone, struggling in the snow. They stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow, peering at any sign of movement. Outside I heard the sound of my boots此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号as I walked against the wind.As the snow circled around me, I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket, heads bent forward and away from the wind. I gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside. Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor, and they began to cluck softly.As I shut the shed doors, my eyes went directly to the window where my child ren were watching. They jumped up and down cheering, and so did I! I wasn’t some dragon slayer(屠龙者) from a fairy tale. I was simply a mom, but the look on my children’s faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom.24. Seeing all three chickens sitting around the bucket, the author felt ?A. worried.B. incredible.C. shy.D. confident.25. From the story, we know that .A. the author’s children liked dragon slayers.B. the author enjoyed herself in the snow.C. the author struggled to be a hero.D. the children watched their mother all the way.26. How does the author reach the hens?A. By following the sound of the hens.B. By wearing protective clothes.C. By searching for the white bucket.D. By shouting at the henhouse.27. What might be the best title for the text?A. Weather in extreme.B. Hens in trouble.C. Kindness in need.D. Hero in the snow.CCHICAGO(Reuters)—Smoking not only can wrinkle(皱纹)the face and turn it yellow—it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body-even skin protected from the sun.“We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs, of cigarette smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced.” Dr. Yolanda, who led the study, said in a statement.“In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years.” Yolanda’s team added in their report.The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged, in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers. In dependent judges decided how wrinkled each person’s skin was.When skin is exposed to sunlight, especially the face, it becomes coarse(粗糙的). Wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Yolanda’s team wrote.Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking led to premature(过早的) skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.The report did not discuss die mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels(血管) beneath the skin to constrict(紧缩), reducing blood supply to the skin.Smoking can also damage the connective tissue(组织) that supports both die skin and the internal organs.28. It can be inferred from the study .A. smoking won’t affect skin protected from the sunB. smoking will do damage to skin rather than other organsC. smokers over 65 usually won’t worry about their skinD. the age of smokers is not connected, with the result of the test29. When your skin is exposed to sunlight long, it becomes all of the following but .A. flexibleB. coarseC. roughD. discolored30. According to the passage, how wrinkled a person’s skin is doesn’t relate to .A. the number of cigarettes a person smokesB. the kind and characteristics of skinC. how long a person smokesD. how long skin is under sunlight31. The main purpose of the passage is to .A. inform people about the study of skinB. advise people how to protect skinC. warn people not to smoke againD. introduce a new way of avoid skin agingDUntil recently, voice cloning—or voice banking, as it was then known—was a customized industry which served those at risk of losing the power of speech to cancer or surgery. Synthesizing(合成) a voice was a long and expensive process. It meant recording many phrases, each spoken many times, with different the history of the KidPass blog emotional emphases(重音) and in different contexts(statement, question, command and so forth), in order to cover all possible pronunciations. A voice-banking company often charges a lot and requires a speaker to spend days in a sound studio.Not any more. Software exists that can store pieces of recorded speech which is merely five milliseconds long, each marked with a precise pitch(音高). These can be put together to make new words, and adjusted individually so that they fit harmoniously into their new sonic homes. This is much cheaper than conventional voice banking, and permits novel uses to be developed.This year Vivo Text plans to release an app that lets users select the emphasis, speed and level of happiness or sadness with which individual words and phrases are produced. Mr. Silbert refers to the emotive quality of the human voice as “the ultimate instrument”. Yet this power also troubles him. Vivo Text licenses its software to Hasbro, an American toymaker keen to sell increasingly interactive playthings. Hasbro is aware, Mr. Silbert notes, that without safeguards a naughty child might, for example, type impolite words on his mother’s smartphone in order to see a younger sibling burst into tears on hearing them spoken by a toy using mum’s voice.More troubling, when tested against voice-biometrics software like that used by many banks to block unauthorized access to accounts, more than 80% of the fake voices tricked the computer. Alan Black, one of Festvox’s developers, thinks systems that rely on voice-ID software are now “deeply, fundamentally insecure”.Dr. Saxena and his colleagues asked volunteers if a voice sample belonged to a person whose real speech they had just listened to for about 90 seconds. The volunteers recognized cloned speech as such only half the time(ie, no better than chance). The outcome, according to George Papcun, an expert witness paid to detect fake recordings produced as evidence in court, is the appearance of a technology with “enormous potential value for disinformation”.As might be expected, countermeasures to recognize such deception(欺骗) are being developed.Nuance Communications, a maker of voice-activated software, is working on algorithms(算法) that detect tiny skips in frequency at the points where slices of speech are stuck together. Adobe, best known as the marker of Photoshop, an image-editing software suite, says that it may add digital watermarks to speech synthesized by a voice-cloning software called VoCo it is developing. Such technology may help computers recognize suspicious speech. Even so, it is easy to imagine the chaos that might be created in a world which makes it easy to put authentic-sounding words into the mouths of opponents—be they colleagues or heads of state.32. Paragraphs 1 and 2 are mainly about .A. significant elements influencing voice cloningB. possible applications of voice cloning in realityC. complexities of creating a synthetic copy of a voiceD. differences between traditional and existing voice banking33. What’s Hasbro’s attitude towards Vivo Test’s new app?A. Optimistic.B. Conservative.C. Unconcerned.D. Subjective.34. The experiment carried out by Dr. Saxena and his colleagues shows that volunteers .A. identified cloned speech in about 45 secondsB. preferred a real speech to a voice sampleC. proved only a little harder to fool than softwareD. found it hard to use the software to record their voices35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Investments should be increased to advance voice cloning.B. Long-term measures should be taken to popularize the idea of voice cloning.C. Disagreements among firms about the way to treat voice cloning are getting serious.D. Problems of voice cloning are unavoidable despite the efforts that have been made.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
