For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Frugality (节俭) Is Back in Fashion“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” This is a piece of sage advice from Warren Buffet, arguably 21 of the greatest financial minds of the 21st century. Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart, especially in the present economic climate.While the idea of being frugal has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the ease of purchasing 22 (lead) to increased consumerism for many across thecountry. Not only are businesses today offering a more diverse range of products, but internet algorithms are also matching our shopping patterns to big data sets —both of 23 are meant to tempt people into buying more stuff than they need. Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, 24 (force) people to reevaluate their priorities whilespending money. It is no wonder that being thrifty is once again being a dominant trend 25 young people.Despite the annoyances 26 (cause) by algorithms, the internet is flooded with advice on where one 27 save money as well as good opinions about how they should spend their money. It makes sense to prioritize goods and services that directly affect your health and wellbeing, while limiting those that are fancy but not entirely necessary.Hopefully, we all fully understand at this point 28 the resources on this planet are indeed limited. A continuous growth model is by no mea ns sustainable. As a matter of fact, we already use about 1.8 Earth’s worth of renewable resources every year. 29 every one of us decided to consume as much as theaverage American does, we would be using more than four Earth’s worth of renewable r esources annually. As a result, the choice (forced or not) to be frugal is not only good for one’s wallet, but also beneficial to the planet in the long run.If you have ever chosen to starve yourself 30 (get) a pair of limitededition sneakers, it is high time that you started making changes for the sake of yourself and for all humanity. Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Are you listening? But are you really listening?You’d think we’d be very good at listening, but do we British Council has launched a project Crossing Divides aimed to train young people to listen and understand other people with very different perspectives.Practicing deep listening means tuning into empathy(同理心), resisting the 32 to judge people who are distinct from oneself. It develops important skills that will make anyone a better listener: empathy, silence and being aware of our 33 .The project was 34 in Lebanon, where it helped local people find mon ground with each other, in a society divided by bitter years of conflict. People taking part in the project said they felt that they were being heard, helping them to feel recognized and understood, which opened munication between munities. All the participants greatly improved their listening skills, which proved 35 in their working and personal lives.They have also had a chance to be listened to and heard, which research shows can improve 36 . This is because we all feel accepted, valued and more 37 to others when we sense that we are being truly listened to, and the person listening to us doesn’t have to agree with us for those benefits to be enjoyed.The project is also an opportunity for participants to feel the benefit of stepping outside their own “echo chamber (回声室)”. Echo chambers are created by our natural tendency to seek out people and opinion s, in person and online, that we agree with, so we mainly see and hear information and opinions that 38 to our own. Not surprisingly this leads us to think our views are definitively correct, so we bee 39 or even angry when we encounter perspec tives that our worldview suggests arc wrong, because they don’t agree with our own echo chamber.So, training young people with deep listening skills can encourage many more people to take part in challenging and 40 conversations. Scott McDonald, t he organization’s CEO said: “The deep listening training gets to the heart of what we do by providing opportunities for people to step out of their echo chambers, to cross divides, and build trust and understanding.”III.Reading prehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.

However, about 150,000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as to see things from another’s point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.Though we may not face the same daytoday threats to our existence, selfawareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.But for most people it is easier to choose selfdelusion (自我欺骗) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a World obsessed with selfesteem (自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed (有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilities —from leadership skills to achievements at school and work. What’s scary is that the least petent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal selfawareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external selfawareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that selfexamination can have hidden trap that make insight actually impossible. 63．The first three paragraphs mainly talk about _______.A ．the significance of selfawareness in human survival and advancementB ．the sharp contrast between selfawareness of today and the pastC ．the necessity of a shift in selfawareness to satisfy the needs todayD ．the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestors A ．People’s performance and abilities are overlooked.B ．petent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.C ．It’s difficul t to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.D ．Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play. 65．Which of the following is an example of external selfawareness?A ．You listen to the ments about you from others.B ．You are fully aware of your strengths and weaknesses.C ．You reflect your behaviors thoroughly every day.D ．You carefully pare your behavior with that of others. 66．In the last paragraph, the author suggests that we should _______.A ．develop true insight to judge people more objectivelyB ．try to avoid the trap set by othersC ．gain more insight by means of selfexaminationD ．pay more attention to external selfawarenessSection CDirections: plete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Huizhou Architecture es to LifeHuizhou has a long history. When successful Huizhou businessmen got old,they often went back to their hometown and built houses to spend their remaining years. 67 Now, walking along the bluestone streets there,visitors can appreciate the distinctive Huizhoustyle houses,featuring white walls,dark tiles (瓦片)and layered horsehead roofs, and feel like they are lost in a traditional Chinese ink painting.Huizhou architecture, with its long tradition and great diversity, occupies an important place in Chinese architectural landscape, says Zhang Wangnan, director of the China Huizhou Culture Museum in Huangshan. Huizhou houses tend to be built on the natural places, since Huizhou is a mountainous area with few flat areas of land, according to Zhang. Moreover, daylight is valued in Huizhou houses, reflected in the building of open interior courtyards, allowing sunshine to enter the rooms. “Huizhou businessmen al so believed that water symbolizes wealth. 68 It stands for keeping windfall profits,” says Zhang.Huizhou is famous for its stone, wood and brick carvings, which are widely used to decorate local houses. “69 In this way,they integrate their aesthetic (审美) values and emotions into the buildings,making them more beautiftul and educating their children through the meanings contained in the patterns,” says Zhang.70 “If you look at the outside of a Huizhou house, it seems simple, enclos ed by walls, but the insides are open and broad, with plicated decorations. It is just like Huizhou people, who are often reserved toward strangers but friendly when you get to know them.” says Zhang. He also says that Ming houses differ from those of the QingDynasty in many aspects, for example, having fewer horsehead roofs and less plicated carvings.A．When it rains, water falling on the roof soon flows to the courtyard.B．Many of their houses are wellpreserved today, especially in Xidi and Hongcun.C．To talk about Huizhou culture, we must first understand Huizhou.D．People carved beautiful patterns and historical stories on the walls, windows and wooden posts of their houses.E．Features of Huizhou houses display the characteristics of local people.F．Huizhou people have established many schools in the field of culture.IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71Why you’re more creative in coffee shopsSome of the most successful people in history have done their best work in coffee shops. Pablo Picasso, JK Rowling, Bob Dylan –whether they’re painters, writers or singersongwriters, people across nations and centurie s have tapped into their creativity working away at a table in a café.There are many ways coffee shops activate our creativity in a way offices and homes don’t. Some of us stick in our earbuds as soon as we sit down to work in a public setting. But a 2012 study published in the Journal of Consumer Research showed that a lowtomoderate level of relaxing noise on all sides in a place like a cafeteria can actually increase your creative output. The idea is that if you’re very slightly distracted from the task at hand by background noise, it enhances your abstract thinking ability, which can lead to more creative idea generation.Another study from 2019 had similar findings, that is, the right amount of noise benefits our senses. And audio stimuli in the background also help us improve decision making.There’s also the fact that in a coffee shop, we’re surrounded by people who’ve e to do the same thing as us, which acts as a motivator. A 2016 study backed up this idea when researchers asked participants sitting next to each other in front of a puter to do a task on the same screen. The study showed that “simply performing a task ne xt to a person who makes a lot of effort in a task will make you do the same”. One of the biggest things about coffee shops is the socialfacilitation effect: you go there, you see other people working and it puts you in a mood where you just naturally start working as well.____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。

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

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

The program, which lasted from first grade through tenth grade, reduced arrests and use of health and mental health services as the students aged through adolescence and young adulthood, as researchers explained in a separate study.In the latest study, researchers looked at the “why” behind those previous findings. In looking at the data from nearly 900 students, the researchers found that about a third of the impact on future crime outcomes was due to the social andself-regulation skills the students learned from ages 6 to 11.The academic skills that were taught as part of Fast Track turned out to have less of an impact on crime than did the soft skills, which are associated with emotional intelligence.“The conclusion that we would make is that these soft skills should be emphasized even more in our education system and in our system of socializing children,”says Kenneth Dodge, a professor at Duke who was a principal investigator in this study as well as in the original Fast Track project. Parents should do all they can to promote these skills with their children, Dodge says, as should education policymakers.To Neil Bernstein, a psychologist in Washington, D.C., who specializes in child and adolescent behavior disorders, the researchers’ findings seem to match what he’s seen among the general public in working with children for more than 30 years. And while he says he agrees with the importance of teaching self-control and social skills, he would add empathy to the list, too.“Empathy is what makes us aware of the feelings of others, and when you’re empathic, you’re much less likely tohurt someone else’s feelings,” says Bernstein, who serves on the advisory board for the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids. “Being in tune with how someone else feels might also make adolescents avoid bullying and other behaviors of concern,”Bernstein says.While Bernstein thinks the study’s findings are meaningful and could potentially serve as a model for schools, he says that collectively getting a school system, teachers, parents and students all motivated enough to take part in an intervention like Fast Track is challenging.63.Fast Track is aimed to .A.improve children’s academic skillsB. help the children with behavior disordersC. identify the problematic childrenD. classify children into different groups64.Neil Bernstein thinks that .A.empathic children are more likely to have higher emotional intelligenceB.the findings of the studies disagree with what he has found in his workC.empathy is equally essential in educating and socializing childrenD.self-control and social skills are not as important as empathy65.What can be learned from the passage?A.It’s hard to involve everyone concerned in applying the findings.B.Soft skills were not part of the education system in the past.C.The findings are meaningless unless guided by Fast Track.D.Adolescence is the most critical stage in a person’s life.66.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.Academic skills are paid too much attention at schools.B.Academic skills have no influence on children’s behaviors.C.Soft skills are much harder to develop than academic skills.D.Soft skills play a significant role in preventing future crimes.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.So it’s not easy for English speakers to label place values clearly.B.The additional mental steps needed to solve problems cause more errors.C.Differences between Chinese and English, in particular, have been studied for decades.D.This method is a powerful tool for solving more advanced multi-digit addition and subtractionproblems.E.Different languages indicate different ways of thinking, causing people to solve mathproblems differently.F.That makes it easier for children to understand the place value as well as making it clear thatthe number system is based on units of 10.The Best Language for MathWhat’s the best language for learning math? Hint: You’re not reading it.Chinese, Japanese and Korean use simpler number words and express math concepts more clearly than English. The language gap is drawing growing attention as confusing English number words have been linked in several studies to weaker counting and arithmetic skill in children in English-speaking countries.67 Among the researchers are Karen Fuson, a professor in the School of Education at Northwestern University, and Li Yeping, an expert on Chinese math education at Texas A&M University.Chinese has just nine number words, while English has more than two dozen. The trouble starts at “11”. English has a unique word for the number, while Chinese (as well as Japanese and Korean, among other languages) have words that can be translated as “ten-one”– spoken with the “ten” first.68English number words over 10 don ’t as clearly label place values. Number words for the teens reverse the order of the ones and “teens”, making it easy for children to confuse, say, 17 with 71. As a result, children working with English number words have a harder time doing multi-digit addition and subtraction (减法). 69It also feels more natural for Chinese speakers than for English speakers to use the “make-a-ten”addition and subtraction strategy. When adding two numbers, students break down the numbers into parts and regroup them into tens and ones. For instance, 9 plus 5 becomes 9 plus 1 plus 4. 70Many teachers in America have increased instruction in the make-a-ten method and called for first-graders to use it to add and subtract.Now, you should feel lucky that you are learning math in China. Thanks to your mother tongue, all math problems just come less confusing and difficult to you!IV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage.

Turia Pitt, an Australian woman who suffered severe burns when caught in a bush fire during a marathon six years ago, successfully challenged herself.Pitt spent 864 days in a hospital and went through more than 200 operations. Doctors said she would never run again, but she proved them wrong.Crossing the line in the Hawaiian darkness, Pitt showed incredible emotion as the race commentator ( 现场讲解员) announced: “Turia Pitt, you are an ironman!” On social media, people around the world applauded her determination.Apart from continuing to be a star athlete, Pitt is also a motivational speaker now. She is sharing her journey of recovery with others to help raise awareness about the importance of organ donation, which she believes saved her life.Pitt was 24 years old when she and five others encountered the fire. Doctors had to remove the burnt skin and replace it with donated skin that could fight infection. None could be found in Australia and doctors were forced to search abroad. They finally found skin that could be used in the United States.“I’m not being dramatic, but it was the skin that saved my life,” said Pitt. “I decided to live my life to the best of my abilities because I never wanted those donors, wherever they are, to think I was ungrateful for their gift.”So Pitt set herself a big goal: the Kona Ironman World Championship. In order to compete, she had to first learn how to stand, walk and even talk all over again. And because of her burns, she also has trouble sweating and regulating her body temperature.Despite these disadvantages, Pitt completed the race in just 14 hours. She said this achievement would not be possible without the donated skin, highlighting the importance of organ donation.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.你能感受到大数据给现代生活带来的冲击吗？(impact)73.我们在向西方学习的时候不能丢弃自己独特的文化特征。

But here's the _____35_____ truth: in the grand scheme of things, barely anyone will follow suit. The _____36_____ classes tend to have a lot to say about the eco benefits of avoiding meat, cycling and eating locally sourced food. But that _____37_____ generally disappears when it comes to flying.We can't rely on international ___38_____ to stop aviation emission either. Yes, the UN has fixed up a deal to cap aviation emissions beyond 2020. But it lacks real bite, allowing airlines to continue emitting carbon provided they offset (抵消)it.All this means we could really do with green tech riding to the rescue.

However, he's an_____ 41_____ and believes that all of these problems can be overcome in relatively straightforward ways and at relatively little cost. That's because the root causes are interconnected and _____42_____ man-made.Take child morality(死亡).Perhaps surprisingly, the higher the child morality rate is, the higher the birth rate. This leads to a _____43_____ population which puts a greater stress on already scarce resources, so farmers have to work harder to produce enough food for all, which means children are often put to work in the fields or at home. This, _____44_____ , stops children getting the education which will allow them to learn, among other things, about better farming techniques to increase crop yields and provide more food to eat and sell. Sachs argues that the_____45_____ of providing every child in poverty with an anti-mosquito bed net is a major first step. Malaria(疟疾)is a huge cause of death in children and the bed nets massively _____46_____ infections. The fewer children that die of malaria, the more secure parents feel about their children surviving. The more secure parents feel, the fewer children they have, and so on, revising the _____47__ trend just described.However, it is _____48_____ a combination of measures at the same time that truly makes a difference: free school meals improve school attendance and health; supplying fertilisers to improve soil and better seeds provides even better harvests; basic health care and clean water supplies_____ 49_____ more fatal diseases.These ideas are already being _____50_____ implemented in over 100 African villages in underdeveloped regions. The cost of the proj ect is just $10 per person per year, of which 50% comes from donors and the rest from a mixture of local and national governments and the villagers themselves.So if it's so _____51_____ , why hasn't it been done before? What about all the aid that has been given to Africa and the underdeveloped countries of the world? Has it been lost to corruption （腐败）? Sachs argues that the real problem is not corruption, but the fact that rich governments have _____52_____ such a lot, but actually given so little. They agreed to give 0.7% of national income in aid, but only five countries have met that _____53_____. He suggests current aid is $24 billion per year, which translates as just ten dollars per person—not nearly enough to implement the _____54_____ measures.So while Sachs sees an opportunity to end poverty forever, he also raises an _____55_____ that this could be the last chance we have, 'The longer we wait, the greater is the suffering and the larger the long-term costs?41.A. economist B. optimist C. expert D. opponent42.A. prospectively B. essentially C. thoughtfully D. refreshingly43.A. declining B. global C. booming D. local44.A. in turn B. by contrast C. on end D. with care45.A. truth B. principle C. solution D. statement46.A. transmit B. specify C. worsen D. reduce47.A. downward B. general C. modem D. previous48.A. describing B. reserving C. adopting D. protesting49.A. modify B. intensify C. prevent D. locate50.A. successfully B. hesitantly C. personally D. worthlessly51.A. popular B. simple C. hard D. strange52.A. spent B. promised C. learned D. featured53.A. requirement B. condition C. challenge D. target54.

He's eight. We've come here with Mohamed, a friend who owns a store in our New York neighborhood. We're regular customers at Mohamed's store, where Sam can often be found negotiating with his friend. When they're not bargaining, they're chatting about swords, or camels, or the desert. "You need to come to Marrakech," Mohamed told me. I'll show you around and teach Sam how to really get a bargain!” So here we are.We meet up with Mohamed over a cup of tea at a table outside the tiny Cafe ben Youssef, deep in the old city of Marrakech. We're sitting in an area bordering the stalls of the marketplace. Vendors(小贩)with carts offer freshly squeezed orange juice, others sell dates or figs. Nearby are the workshops that supply the goods to this world-famous market.Later, as we walk around, Mohamed begins the first of his bargaining tutorials for Sam. "Everything in Morocco is open to negotiation, Sam. When you hear a price, the first thing you say is 'Too much一bezqf and then walk away.""But what if I like it?"“When you see something you like, maybe a lamp, you ask about something else instead. Then, as you walk out, you ask, "And how much is that lamp?9 as though you5d just noticed it and aren't really that interested in it."We turn a comer and are greeted with sweet-smelling orange blossoms. "Don't always give an offer. Make them continue to lower the price. Oh, and wear something Moroccan：Mohamed continues, as we enter a fairly large shop. Most of the stalls in Marrakech specialize in one thing, but not this one. Decorative and lethal-looking swords hang beside soft hand-dyed fabrics; large camel bones covered in writing sit beside massive copper lamps. It is here that Sam spots a box. “Look, a treasure chest!” It's made of wood, and painted red and gold. He opens the lid, then closes it. “Cool." Then he spots a tall, cobalt blue, tear-shapedold perfume bottle. "Four hundred dirham,” the shopkeeper pronounces. Fifty dollars. Sam says nothing. Whether he's too shy or is practicing Mohamed's bargaining technique, I can't tell. He eventually agrees to pay 200 dirham, about $24. rd say the bottle is worth $10, at most. Clearly, his negotiating skills need a little work. "Just to get started, Dad,” Sam measures me as he pays for the bottle.56.According to Mohamed, people in Marrakech like__________.A.bargainingB. tradingC. drinking teaD. showing friends around57.What does Mohamed advise Sam to do when he finds something he likes?A.To look for something similar in another shop.B.To complain to the vendor about its high price.C.To conceal his real preference from the vendor.D.To ask the vendor about the price as soon as possible.58.What does the writer imply about Sam's first negotiating experience?A.It is far from successful.B.It costs Sam more than the money he pays.C.It reveals Sam's potential in negotiation.D.It shows that Sam is too shy for negotiation.59.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. A Shopping Trip.B.The Charm of the MarketC. A Busy City.D.The Art of the Deal(B)The Man Who Ate his Boots is a fascinating account of expeditions that went wrong. The book examines the 19th century search for a route to Asia by way of the Northwest Passage through the Arctic Ocean. Author Anthony Brandt describes the many attempts by both land and sea that ended in failure and tragedy, including the 1845 expedition led by Sir John Franklin. Brandt shows how these brave, yet sometimes foolish, explorers could have avoided starvation, frostbite, and even death if they had copied the survival techniques of the local Inuit people. Some of the more surprising details the book reveals include:IGLOOS The explorers, despite repeatedly watching the Inuit build igloos, insisted on using canvas tents. Tents freeze in sub-zero temperatures and give little protection to anyone inside them. If they had learned to build igloos, the explorers would have been warm even in the worst Arctic weather.SEALSKIN If the explorers had worn sealskin and furs like the Inuit, they wouldn't have suffered from the frostbite that was common among them, but rare among the Inuit.DOG TEAMS Why didn't the British use dog teams to pull their sleds? Pulling sleds themselves was a tradition among many explorers right into the early 20th century It cost Scott and his men their lives on their return from the South Pole in 1912.The British did get something right, however, when Captain Edward Parry grew salad vegetables in boxes on board his ship. It was known that fresh vegetables and fresh meat prevented scurvy (坏血病)，although at that time the reason for this (vitamin C) had not been discovered. Parry's men wouldn't have been as healthy if they hadn't eaten the salads.60.In The Man Who Ate his Boots’ the author mainly ________.A.introduces some foolish explorersB.focuses on some unsuccessful expeditionsC.analyzes the Inuit people's survival techniquesD.explores the advances in equipment used for expeditions61.According to Anthony Brandt, what should the explorers have done?A.They should have learned more about how seals survived in cold water.B.They should have set up more canvas tents to keep themselves warm.C.They should have helped the Inuit people build igloos.D.They should have used dogs to pull the sleds for them.62.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.Edward Parry found a way to prevent scurvy by accidentB.Edward Parry's successful voyage was a rare case at that timeC.Edward Parry was the first captain that grew salad vegetables on boardD.Edward Parry's men could have been more healthy if they took vitamin C（C）Everything we know suggests that the universe is unusual. It is flatter, smoother, larger and emptier than a "typical" universe predicted by the known laws of physics if we reached into a hat filled with pieces of paper, each with the specifications of a possible universe written on it, it is unlikely that we would get a universe anything like ours in one pick—or even a billion.The challenge that cosmologists face is to make sense of this specialness. One approach to this question is inflation―the hypothesis(假设)that the early universe went through a stage of fast expansion. At first, inflation seemed to do the trick. A simple version of the idea gave correct predictions for the spectrum of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background.But a closer look shows that we have just moved the problem further back in time. To make inflation happen at all requires us to fine-tune the initial conditions of the universe. And unless inflation is highly tuned, it leads to a runaway process of universe creation. As a result, some cosmologists （宇宙学家）suggest that there is not one universe, but an infinite number, with a huge variety of properties: the multiverse. There are an infinite number of universes in the collection that are like our universe and an infinite number that are not. But the proportion of infinity to infinity is undefined, and can be made into anything the theorist wants. Thus the multiverse theory has difficulty making any firm predictions and threatens to take us out of the area of science.These other universes are unobservable and because chance dictates the random distribution of properties across universes, suggesting the existence of a multiverse does not let us get to anything about our universe beyond what we already know. As attractive as the idea may seem, it is basically a sleight of hand, which turns an explanatory failure into an apparent explanatory success. The success is empty because anything that might be observed about our universe could be explained as something that must, by chance, happen somewhere in the multiverse.We started out trying to explain why the universe is so special, and we end up being asked to believe that our universe is one of an infinite number of universes with random properties. This makes me suspect that there is a basic but unexamined assumption about the laws of nature that must be overturned.Cosmology has new questions to answer. Not just what are the laws, but why are theselaws the laws? How were they chosen? We can't just hypothesise what the initial conditions were at the big bang, we need to explain those initial conditions. Thus we are in the position of a computer program asked to explain its inputs. It is clear that if we are to get anywhere, we need to invent new methods, and perhaps new kinds of laws, to gain a scientific description of the universe as a whole.63.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of our universe?A.There are several hypotheses about its early stage.B.There are more than one billion universes similar to ours.C.It is expanding at a greater speed that it did at the stage of the big bang.D.It is different from the predictions made according to the laws of physics.64.What does the writer imply about the hypothesis of inflation?A.It hasn't been challenged.B. It doesn't make much sense.C. It is by far the most reasonable approach.D. It is the simple version of a complicated idea.65.Which word in the passage is similar in meaning to the phrase "sleight of hand" (paragraph4)?A.processB. predictionC. trickD. infinity66.It can be inferred from the passage that the writer___________.A.believes the idea of the multiverse will help us to understand our universe betterB.argues there is a fixed proportion of universes like ours to those unlike oursC.holds computer programs can work better than humans in cosmologyD.thinks some laws of nature that we take for granted may be falseSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Unsurprisingly, when his customers heard about the jokes they didn't see the funny side and the share price of the company crashed.B. All I can say is that it's just as well I'm not famous!C. The same is not true for everyone, particularly if you are famous.D. What makes things worse for the famous is that these mistakes become even more widely publicised because of 24-hour news channels and websites.E. This is the kind of thing many people might do privately when they get together with colleagues after work.F. As a result, what was private suddenly became public.Silly Mistakes Hit the HeadlinesWe have probably all had moments when we said the wrong thing. I certainly have. There was the time at university when I met a friend in a coffee bar after class and immediately started complaining about our tutor, who was called Dr Gray. I was going on and on about how miserable she was一strict, boring, unfriendly—and my friend wasn't really saying much. After a minute or so, she interrupted me and said, 'Um, I think I should introduce you'. She then turned to this other student who I hadn't really noticed up till then and said, "This is Tracy. Tracy Gray'!Fortunately, the result of putting my foot in it was only an awkward moment and a stony silence. Maybe my friends thought a little less of me, maybe they thought I was an idiot, but no real harm was done. __________67__________Take Gerald Ratner. He was the multimillionaire owner of a chain of shops that sold cheap jewellery. In what was supposed to be a light-hearted speech to some fellow businessmen, he joked about the quality of some of his products. He said some earrings were 'cheaper than a sandwich, but probably wouldn't last as long'. Other products could be sold at such low prices because they were rubbish. __________68__________ Ratner had to resign as director and shortly afterwards the company was taken over by a competitor.In some ways, Ratner could be seen as unfortunate in that he was in a semi-private meeting with friends and colleagues he was at ease with, but there happened to be a journalist there. __________69__________ And with the rise of social media, there have been plenty of others who have been caught out by the increasingly vague boundaries between our private and public faces. For example, a group of flight attendants made jokes about the engines on their planes failing and complained about their airline and clients (客户).__________70__________ Unfortunately, they did it publicly on Facebook and it led tothirteen of them being fired.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible.Cities in the SeaThey may be small, but they build big things! Coral polyps (珊瑚虫), which live in the warm, shallow parts of the Earth's oceans, are probably the biggest builders on the planet. Coral polyps turn calcium from seawater into a hard material called limestone. Slowly, they build up a hard skeleton (骨架) around their bodies. When polyps die, their skeletons remain. Young polyps attach themselves to the old skeletons and make new skeletons. Over time, weird and wonderful shapes are slowly built up into amazing coral reefs （珊瑚礁）.Scientists sometimes think of coral reefs as underwater cities. A quarter of all known marine species live in reef habitats―there are nearly a thousand coral species. Reefs are also home to millions of sea creatures, like fish, crabs, turtles, and sharks.Humans don't live in coral reef cities, but we benefit from them. Reefs create jobs for people in the fishing industry and other related businesses. Coral reefs are also popular for divers一many countries benefit from the tourists that they attract. Lastly, chemicals from reef creatures help scientists create new medicines, which help doctors treat different illnesses.Coral reefs are very important, yet we don't take good care of them. Environmental problems have already killed about twenty percent of the world's reefs. About half of the remaining reefs are dying, and experts believe all of Earth's coral reefs will be in danger by 2050.Why are the reefs in such trouble? For one thing, people catch too many reef fish and often damage the reefs—divers sometimes break off pieces of coral.Polluted water also causes problems because reef-destroying algae grows in dirty water. Even air pollution hurts coral reefs. Global warming causes warmer ocean water, which can cause polyps to lose helpful algae. Without that algae, coral turns white. This is called "bleaching”，and if it continues, the coral dies.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.不努力一把，怎么知道人生会不会有更多的可能？（If）73.过去的三年里，这个曾经无人问津的小村庄吸引了大量游客。
