Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2.The Curious Case of the Tree That Owns ItselfA) In the city of Athens, Georgia, there exists a rather curious local landmark—a large white oak that is almost universally stated to own itself. Because of this, it is considered one of the most famous trees in the world. So how did this tree come to own itself and the land around it?B) Sometime in the 19th century a Georgian called Colonel William Jackson reportedly took a liking to the said tree and endeavored to protect it from any danger. As to why he loved it so, the earliest documented account of this story is an anonymously written front page article in the Athens Weekly Banner published on August 12, 1890. It states, “Col. Jackson had watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it almost as he would a human. Its luxuriant leaves and sturdy limbs had often protected him from the heavy rains,and out of its highest branches he had many a time gotten the eggs of the feathered singers.He watched its growth, and when reaching a ripe old age he saw the tree standing in its magnificent proportions, he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it.”C) Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree and a little land around it to the tree itself. The deed read, “W. H. Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears the said tree, and his great desire to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet of it on all sides.”D) In time, the tree came to be something of a tourist attraction, known as The Tree That Owns Itself. However, in the early 20th century, the tree started showing signs of its slow death,with little that could be done about it. Father time comes for us all eventually, even our often long lived, tall and leafy fellow custodians (看管者) of Earth. Finally, on October 9,1942, the over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell, rumor has it, as a result of a severe windstorm and/or via having previously died and its roots rotted.E) About four years later, members of the Junior Ladies Garden Club (who’d tended to the tree before its unfortunate death) tracked down a small tree grown from a nut taken from the original tree. And so it was that on October 9, 1946, under the direction of Professor Roy Bowden of the College of Agriculture at the University of Georgia, this little tree was transplanted to the location of its ancestor. A couple of months later, an official ceremony was held featuring none other than the Mayor of Athens, Robert L McWhorter, to commemorate the occasion.F) This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself and it was assumed that, as the original tree’s heir, it naturally inherited the land it stood on. Of course, there are many dozens of othertrees known to exist descending from the original, as people taking a nut from it to grow elsewhere was a certainty. Thatsaid, to date, none of the original tree’s other children have petitioned the courts for their share of the land, so it seems all good. In any event, The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself still stands today, though often referred to simply as The Tree That Owns Itself.G) This all brings us around to whether Jackson ever actually gave legal ownership of the tree to itself in the first place and whether such a deed is legally binding.H) Well, to begin with, it turns out Jackson only spent about three years of his life in Athens,starting at the age of 43 from 1829 to 1832, sort of dismissing the idea that he loved the tree from spending time under it as a child and watching it grow, and then worrying about what would happen to it after he died. Further, an extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate Jackson ever owned the land the tree sits on.I) He did live on a lot of land directly next to it for those three years, but whether he owned that land or not isn’t clear. Whatever the case, in 1832 a four acre parcel, which included the land the tree was on and the neighboring land Jackson lived on, among others, was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward. In the transaction, Ward was required to pay Jackson a sum of $1,200 (about $31,000 today), either for the property itself or simply in compensation for improvements Jackson had made on the lot. In the end, whether he ever owned the neighboring lot or was simply allowed to use it while he allegedly worked at the University, he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on, which is the most important bit for the topic at hand.J) After Professor Ward purchased the land, Jackson and his family purchased a 655 acre parcel a few miles away and moved there. Ten years later, in 1844, Jackson seemed to have come into financial difficulties and had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sheriff’s office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage. Thus, had he owned some land in Athens itself, including the land the tree sat on, presumably he would have sold it to raise funds or otherwise had it taken as well.K) And whatever the case there, Jackson would have known property taxes needed to be paid on the deeded land for the tree to be truly secure in its future. Yet no account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this.L) On top of all this, there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed, despite the fact that deed records in Athens go back many decades before Jackson’s death in 1876 and that it was supposed to have existed in 1890 in the archives according to the original anonymous news reporter who claims to have seen it.M) As you might imagine from all of this, few give credit to this sideof the story. So how did all of this come about then?N) It is speculated to have been invented by the imagination of the said anonymous author at the Athens Weekly Banner in the aforementioned 1890 front page article titled “Deeded to Itself”, which by the way contained several elements that are much more easily proved to be false. As to why the author would do this, it’s speculated perhaps it was a 19th century version of a click-bait thought exercise on whether it would be legal for someone to deed such a non-conscious living thing to itself or not.O) Whatever the case, the next known instance of the Tree That Owns Itself being mentioned wasn’t until 1901 in the Centennial Edition of that same paper, the Athens Weekly Banner. This featured another account very clearly just copying the original article published about a decade before, only slightly reworded. The next account was in 1906, again in the Athens Weekly Banner, again very clearly copying the original account, only slightly reworded, the 19th century equivalent of re-posts when the audience has forgotten about the original.36. Jackson was said to have transferred his ownership of the oak tree to itself in order to protect it from being destroyed.37. No proof has been found from an extensive search that Jackson had ever owned the land where the oak tree grew.38. When it was raining heavily, Jackson often took shelter under a big tree that is said to own itself.39. There is no evidence that Jackson had made arrangements to pay property taxes for the land on which the oak tree sat.40. Professor Ward paid Jackson over one thousand dollars when purchasinga piece of land from him.41. It is said the tree that owned itself fell in a heavy windstorm.42. The story of the oak tree is suspected to have been invented as a thought exercise.43. Jackson’s little plantation was auctioned off to settle his debt in the mid-19th century.44. An official ceremony was held to celebrate the transplanting of a small tree to where its ancestor had stood.45. The story of the Tree That Owns Itself appeared in the local paper several times, with slight alterations in wording.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.It is irrefutable that employees know the difference between right and wrong. So why don’t more employees intervene when they see someone exhibiting at-risk behavior in the workplace?There are a number of factors that influence whether people intervene. First, they need to be able to see a risky situation beginning to unfold. Second, the company’s culture needs to make them feel safe to speak up. And third, they need to have the communication skills to say something effectively.This is not strictly a workplace problem; it’s a growing problem off the job too. Every day people witness things on the street and choose to stand idly by. This is known as the bystander effect—the more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone in that group is to help the victim. The psychology behind this is called diffusion of responsibility. Basically, the larger the crowd, the more people assume that someone else will take care of it—meaning no one effectively intervenes or acts in a moment of need.This crowd mentality is strong enough for people to evade their known responsibilities. But it’s not only frontline workers who don’t make safety interventions in the workplace. There are also instances where supervisors do not intervene either.When a group of employees sees unsafe behavior not being addressed at a leadership level it creates the precedent that this is how these situations should be addressed, thus defining the safety culture for everyone.Despite the fact that workers are encouraged to intervene when they observe unsafe operations, this happens less than half of the time. Fear is the ultimate factor in not intervening. There is a fear of penalty, a fear that they’ll have to do more work if they intervene. Unsuccessful attempts in the past are another strong contributing factor to why people don’t intervene—they tend to prefer to defer that action to someone else for all future situations.On many worksites, competent workers must be appointed. Part of their job is to intervene when workers perform a task without the proper equipment or if the conditions are unsafe. Competent workers are also required to stop work from continuing when there’s a danger.Supervisors also play a critical role. Even if a competent person isn’t required, supervisors need a broad set of skills to not only identify and alleviate workplace hazards but also build a safety climate within their team that supports intervening and open communication among them.Beyond competent workers and supervisors, it’s important to educate everyone within the organization that they are obliged to intervene ifthey witness a possible unsafe act, whether you’re a designated competent person, a supervisor or a frontline worker.46. What is one of the factors contributing to failure of intervention in face of risky behavior in the workplace?A) Slack supervision style.B) Unfavorable workplace culture.C) Unforeseeable risk.D) Blocked communication.47. What does the author mean by “diffusion of responsibility” (Line 4, Para. 3)?A) The more people are around, the more they need to worry about their personal safety.B) The more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone will venture to participate.C) The more people idling around on the street, the more likely they need taking care of.D) The more people are around, the less chance someone will step forward to intervene.48. What happens when unsafe behavior at the workplace is not addressed by the leaders?A) No one will intervene when they see similar behaviors.B) Everyone will see it as the easiest way to deal with crisis.C) Workers have to take extra caution executing their duties.D) Workers are left to take care of the emergency themselves.49. What is the ultimate reason workers won’t act when they see unsafe operations?A) Preference of deferring the action to others.B) Anticipation of leadership intervention.C) Fear of being isolated by coworkers.D) Fear of having to do more work.50. What is critical to ensuring workplace safety?A) Workers be trained to operate their equipment properly.B) Workers exhibiting at-risk behavior be strictly disciplined.C) Supervisors create a safety environment for timely intervention.D) Supervisors conduct effective communication with frontline workers.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The term “environmentalist” can mean different things. It used to refer to people trying to protect wildlife and natural ecosystems. In the 21st century, the term has evolved to capture the need to combat human-made climate change.The distinction between these two strands of environmentalism is thecause of a split within the scientific community about nuclear energy.On one side are purists who believe nuclear power isn’t worth the risk and the exclusive solution to the climate crisis is renewable energy. The opposing side agrees that renewables are crucial, but says society needs an amount of power available to meet consumers’ basic demands when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. Nuclear energy, being far cleaner than oil, gas and coal, is a natural option, especially where hydroelectric capacity is limited.Leon Clarke, who helped author reports for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, isn’t an uncritical supporter of nuclear energy, but says it’s a valuable option to have if we’re serious about reaching carbon neutrality.“Core to all of this is the degree to which you think we can actually meet climate goals with 100% renewables,” he said. “If you don’t believe we can do it, and you care about the climate, you are forced to think about something like nuclear.”The achievability of universal 100% renewability is similarly contentious. Cities such as Burlington, Vermont, have been “100% renewable” for years. But these cities often have small populations, occasionally still rely on fossil fuel energy and have significant renewable resources at their immediate disposal. Meanwhile, countries that manage to run off renewables typically do so thanks to extraordinary hydroelectric capabilities.Germany stands as the best case study for a large, industrialized country pushing into green energy. Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2011 announced Energiewende, an energy transition that would phase out nuclear and coal while phasing in renewables. Wind and solar power generation has increased over 400% since 2010, and renewables provided 46% of the country’s electricity in 2019.But progress has halted in recent years. The instability of renewables doesn’t just mean energy is often not produced at night, but also that solar and wind can overwhelm the grid during the day, forcing utilities to pay customers to use their electricity. Lagging grid infrastructure struggles to transport this overabundance of green energy from Germany’s north to its industrial south, meaning many factories still run on coal and gas. The political limit has also been reached in some places, with citizens meeting the construction of new wind turbines with loud protests.The result is that Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by around 11.5% since 2010—slower than the EU average of 13.5%.51. What accounts for the divide within the scientific community about nuclear energy?A) Attention to combating human-made climate change.B) Emphasis on protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems.C) Evolution of the term ‘green energy’ over the last century.D) Adherence to different interpretations of environmentalism.52. What is the solution to energy shortage proposed by purists’opponents?A) Relying on renewables firmly and exclusively.B) Using fossil fuel and green energy alternately.C) Opting for nuclear energy when necessary.D) Limiting people’s non-basic consumption.53. What point does the author want to make with cities like Burlington as an example?A) It is controversial whether the goal of the whole world’s exclusive dependence on renewables is attainable.B) It is contentious whether cities with large populations have renewable resources at their immediate disposal.C) It is arguable whether cities that manage to run off renewables have sustainable hydroelectric capabilities.D) It is debatable whether traditional fossil fuel energy can be done away with entirely throughout the world.54. What do we learn about Germany regarding renewable energy?A) It has increased its wind and solar power generation four times over the last two decades.B) It represents a good example of a major industrialized country promoting green energy.C) It relies on renewable energy to generate more than half of its electricity.D) It has succeeded in reaching the goal of energy transition set by Merkel.55. What may be one of the reasons for Germany’s progress having halted in recent years?A) Its grid infrastructure’s capacity has fallen behind its development of green energy.B) Its overabundance of green energy has forced power plants to suspend operation during daytime.C) Its industrial south is used to running factories on conventional energy supplies.D) Its renewable energy supplies are unstable both at night and during the day.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

We get distracted before we can turn down the heating. We break our promise not to fly after hearing about a neighbour's trip to India. Ultimately, we can't be bothered to change our attitude. Fortunately for the planet, social science and behavioural economics may be able to do that for us.BDespite mournful polar bears and charts showing carbon emissions soaring, most people find it hard to believe that global warming will affect them personally. Recent polls by the Pew Research Centre in Washington, DC, found that 75-80 per cent of participants regarded climate change as an important issue. But respondents ranked it last on a list of priorities.CThis inconsistency largely stems from a feeling of powerlessness. "When we can't actually remove the source of our fear, we tend to adapt psychologically by adopting a range of defence mechanisms," says Tom Crompton, changestrategist for the environmental organization Word Wide Fund for Nature.DPart of the fault lies with our inner caveman. Evolution has programmed humans to pay most attention to issues that will have an immediate impact. "We worry most about now because if we don't survive for the next minute, we're not going to be around in ten years' time," says Professor Elke Weber of the Centre for Research on Environmental Decision at Columbia University in New York. If the Thames for Research on Environmental Decision at Columbia University in NewYork. If the Thams were lapping around Big Ben, Londoners wound face up to the problem of emissions pretty quickly. But in practice, our brain discounts the risks-and benefits-associated with issues that lie some way ahead.EMatthew Rushworth, of the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, sees this in his lab every day. "One of the ways in which all agents seem to make decisions is that they assign a lower weighting to outcomes that are going to be further away in the future," he says. "This is a very sensible way for an animal to make decisions in the wild and would have been very helpful for humans for thousands of years."F Not any longer. By the time we wake up to the threat posed by climate changes, it could well be too late. And it we're not going to make rational decisions about the future, others may have to help us to do so.G Few political libraries are without a copy of Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health. Wealth and Happiness, by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. They argue that governments should persuade us into making better decisions-such as saving more in our pension plans-by changing the default options. Professor Weber believes that environmental policy can make use of similar tactics. If, for example, building codes included green construction guidelines, most developers would too lazy to challenge them.H Defaults are certainly part of the solution. But social scientists are most concerned about crafting messages that exploit our group mentality心态. "We need to understand what motivates people, what it is that allows them to make change." says Professor Neil Adger, of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in Norwich. "It is actually about what their peers think of them, what their social norms are, what is seen as desirable in society." In other words, our inner caveman is continually looking over his shoulder to see what the rest of the tribe are up to.I The passive attitude we have to climate change as individuals can be altered by continuing us in-and measuring us against-our peer group. "Social norms are primitive and elemental," says Dr.Robert Cialdini, author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. "Birds flock together, fish school together, cattle herd together…… just perceiving norms is enough to cause people to adjust their behavior in the direction of the crowd."J These norms can take us beyond good intensions. Caldini conducted a study in San Diego in which coat hangers bearing messages about saving energy were hung on people's doors. Some of the messages mentioned the environment, some financial savings, others social responsibility. But it was the ones that mentioned the actions of neighbours that drove down power use.K Other studies show that simply providing the facility for people to compare their energy use with the local average is enough to cause them to modify their behaviour. The Conservatives plan to adopt this strategy by making utility companies print the average local electricity and gas usage on people's bills.L Social science can also teach politicians how to avoid our collective capacity for self-destructive behavior. Environmental campaigns that tell us how many people drive SUVs unwittingly不经意地imply that this behavior is widespread and thus permissible. Cialdini recommends some careful framing of the message. "Instead of normalizing the undesirable buys yet another SUV, it reduces our ability to be energy-independent."M Tapping into how we already see ourselves is crucial. The most successful environmental strategy will marry the green message to our own sense of identify. Take your average trade union member, chances are they will be politically motivated and be used to collective action-much like Erica Gregory.A retired member of the Public and Commercial Services Union, she is setting up one of 1,100 action groups with the support of Climate Solidarity, a two-year environmental campaign aimed at trade unionists.N Erica is proof that a great-grandmother can help to lead the revolution if you get the psychology right-in this case, by matching her enthusiasm for the environment with a fondness for organizing groups. "I think it's a terrific idea," she says of the campaign. "The union backing it makes members think there must be something in it." She is expecting up to 20 people at the first meeting she has called, at her local pub in the Cornish village of Polperro.O Nick Perks, project director for Climate Solidarity, believes this sort of activity is where the future of environmental action lies. "Using existing civil society structures or networks is a more effective way of creating change…… and obviously trade unions are one of the biggest civil societynetworks in the UK," he says. The "Love Food, Hate Waste" campaign entered into a collaboration last year with another such network-the Women's Institute. Londoner Rachel Taylor joined the campaign with the aim of making new friends.A year on, the meetings have made lasting changes to what she throws away in her kitchen. "It's always more of an incentive if you're doing it with other people," she says. "It motivates you more if you know that you've got to provide feedback to a group."PThe power of such simple psychology in fighting climate change is attracting attention across the political establishment. In the US, the House of Representatives Science Committee has approved a bill allocating $10 million a year to studying energy-related behavior. In the UK, new studies are in development and social scientists are regularly spotted in British government offices. With the help of psychologists, there is fresh hope that we might go green after all.47.题干When people find they are powerless to change a situation, they tend to live with it.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JL.LM.MN.NO.OP.P答案C解析"When we can't actually remove the source of our fear, we tend to adapt psychologically by adopting a range of defence mechanisms,"48.题干To be effective, environmental messages should be carefully framed.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KM.MN.NO.OP.P答案L解析Cialdini recommends some careful framing of the message.49.题干It is the government's responsibility to persuade people into making environment-friendly decisions.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KL.LN.NO.OP.P答案G解析They argue that governments should persuade us into making better decisions.50.题干Politicians are beginning to realise the importance of enlisting psychologists' help in fighting climate change.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KL.LN.NO.OP.P答案P解析P段第一句“The power of such simple psychology in fighting climate change is attracting attention across the political establishment.”51.题干To find effective solutions to climate change, it is necessary to understand what motivates people to make change.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KL.LN.NO.OP.P答案H解析"We need to understand what motivates people, what it is that allows them to make change." says Professor Neil Adger, of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in Norwich52.题干In their evolution, humans have learned to pay attention to the most urgent issues instead of long-term concerns.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KM.MN.NO.OP.P答案D解析D第二句Evolution has programmed humans to pay most attention to issues that will have an immediate impact.53.题干One study shows that our neighbours' actions are influential in changing our behavior.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KM.MN.NO.OP.P答案J解析J段最后一句But it was the ones that mentioned the actions of neighbors that drove down power use.54.题干Despire clear signs of global warming, it is not easy for most people to believe climate change will effect their own lives.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JK.KM.MN.NO.OP.P答案B解析B段第一句Despite mournful polar bears and charts showing carbon emissions soaring, most people find it hard to believe that global warming will affect them personally.55.题干We should take our future into consideration in making decisions concerning climate change before it is too late.选项A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.GH.HI.IJ.JL.LM.MN.NO.OP.P答案F解析By the time we wake up to the threat posed by climate changes, it could well be too late.

The researches asked fifth graders and college students to create a recovery plan to protect bald eagles from extinction. Shockingly, the two groups came up with plans of similar quality through the college students had better spelling skills. From the standpoint of a traditional educator, this outcome indicated that schooling had failed to help students think about ecosystems and extinction, major scientific ideas.The researches decided to go deeper, however. They asked both groups to generate questions about important issues needed to create recovery plans. On this task, they found large differences. College students focused on critical issues of interdependence between eagles"How big are they" and "What do they eat". The college students had cultivated the ability to ask questions, the cornerstone of critical thinking. They had learned how to learn.Museums and other institutions of informal learning may be better suited to teach this skill than elementary and secondly schools. At the Exploratorium in San Francisco, we recently studied how learning to ask good questions canaffect the quality of people's scientific inquiry We found that when we taught participants to ask "What if" and "How can" questions that nobody present would know the answer to and that would spark exploration, they engaged in better inquiry at the next exhibit-asking more questions, performing more experiments and making better interpretations of their results. Specially, their questions became more comprehensive at the new exhibit. Rather than merely asking about something they wanted to try, they tended to include both cause and effect in their question. Asking juicy questions appears to be a transferable skill for deepening collaborative inquiry into the science content found in exhibits.This type of learning is not confined to museums of institutional settings. Informal learning environment tolerate failure better than schools. Perhaps many teachers have too little time to allow students to form and pursue their own questions and too much ground to cover in the curriculum. But people must acquire this skill somewhere. Our society depend on them being able to make critical decisions about their own medical treatment, says, or what we must do about global energy needs and demands. For that, we have a robust informal system that gives no grades, takes all comers, and is available even on holidays and weekends.57.题干What is traditional educators' interpretation of the search outcome mentioned in the first paragraph选项A.Students are not able to apply prior knowledge to new problemsB.College students are no better than fifth graders in memorizing issues.cation has not paid enough attention to major environmental issues.cated has failed to lead students to think about major scientific ideas.答案D解析第一段最后一句话From the standpoint of a traditional educator, this outcome indicated that schooling had failed to help students think about ecosystems and extinction, major scientific ideas.可以看出;58.题干In what way are college students different from children选项A.They have learned to think criticallyB.They are concerned about social issuesC.They are curious about specific features.D.They have learned to work independently答案A解析第二段倒数第二句The college students had cultivated the ability to ask questions, the cornerstone of critical thinking.可以得知A正确;59.题干What is benefit of asking questions with no ready answers选项A.It arouse students' interest in things around them.B.It cultivates students' ability to make scientific inquiries.C.It trains students' ability to design scientific experiments.D.It helps students realize not every question has an answer答案B解析第三段的第三句提到了questions with no ready answers,表明“这些问题可以让人更加具有疑问精神,比如问更多问题、进行更多实验等”;60.题干What is said to be the advantage of informal learning选项A.It allows for failuresB.It is entertainingC.It charges no tuitionD.It meets practical need.答案A解析由倒数第一段的第二句话“Informal learning environments tolerate failure better than schools”非正式学习是宽容对待失败的;可以得出A选项It allows for failures.61.题干What does author seem to encourage educators to do at the end ofthe passage选项A.Train students to think about global issues.B.Design more interactive classroom activities.C.Make full use of informal learning resources.D.Include collaborative inquiry in the curriculum.答案C解析最后一段作者强调非正式学习的好处,尤其是最后一段的最后一句话,For that, we have a robust informal system that gives no grades, takes all comers, and is available even on holidays and weekends.Passage Two"There's an old saying in the space world: amateurs talk about technology, professionals talk about insurance." In an interview last year with The Economist, George Whitesides, chief executive of space-tourism firm Virgin Galactic, was placing his company in the latter category. But insurance will be cold comfort following the failure on October 31st of VSS Enterprise, resulting in the death of one pilot and the severe injury to another.On top of the tragic loss of life, the accident in California will cast a long shadow over the future of space tourism, even before it has properly begun.The notion of space tourism took hold in 2001 with a $20 million flight aboard a Russian spacecraft by Dennis Tito, a millionaire engineer with an adventurous streak. Just half a dozen holiday-makers have reached orbit since then, for similarly astronomical price tags. But more recently, companies have begun to plan more affordable "suborbital" flights-briefer ventures just to the edge of space's vast darkness. Virgin Galactic had, prior to this week's accident, seemed closest to starting regular flights. The company has already taken deposits from around 800 would be space tourists, including Stephen Hawking.After being dogged by technical delays for years, Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic's founder, had recently suggested that a SpaceShipTwo craft would carry its first paying customers as soon as February 2015. That now seems an impossible timeline. In July, a sister craft of the crashed spaceplane was reported to be about half-finished. The other half will have to wait, as authorities of America's Federal Aviation Administration FAA and National Transportation Safety Board work out what went wrong.In the meantime, the entire space tourism industry will be on tenterhooks坐立不安. The 2004 Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act, intended to encourage private space vehicles and services, prohibits the transportation secretary and thereby the FAA from regulating the design or operation ofprivate spacecraft, unless they have resulted in a serious or fatal injury to crew or passengers. That means that the FAA could suspend Virgin Galactic's licence to fly. It could also insist on checking private manned spacecraft as thoroughly as it does commercial aircraft. While that may make subotbitaltravel safer, it would add significant cost and complexity to an emergingindustry that has until now operated largely as the playground of billionaires and dreamy engineers.How Virgin Galactic, regulators and the public respond to this most recent tragedy will determine whether and how soon private space travel can transcend that playground. There is no doubt that spaceflight entails risks, and to pioneer a new mode of travel is to free those risks, and to reduce them with the benefit of hard-won experience.62.题干What is said about the failure of VSS Enterprise选项A.It may lead to the bankruptcy of Virgin Galactic.B.It has a strong negative impact on space tourism.C.It may discourage rich people from space travel.D.It has aroused public attention to safety issues.答案B解析第一段最后一句the accident in California will cast a long shadow over the future of space tourism, even before it has properly begun.可以看出VSS的失败是对太空旅行产生了消极的影响;63.题干What do we learn about the space-tourism firm Virgin Galactic选项A.It has just built a craft for commercial flights.B.It has sent half a dozen passengers into space.C.It was about ready to start regular business.D.It is the first to launch "suborbital” flights.答案C解析第二段倒数第二句话Virgin Galactic had, prior to this week's accident, seemed closest to starting regular flights.可以看出C符合题意;64.题干What is the purpose of the 2004 Commercial Space Launch Amendments Ace商业空间的发射修正案选项A.To ensure space travel safety.B.To limit the FAA's functions.C.To legalize private space exploration.D.Tp promote the space tourism industry.答案D解析文中第四段第二句提到这个法案是“intended to encourage private space vehicles and services”,也就是为了“推动太空旅游业”;65.题干What might the FAA do after the recent accident in California选项A.Impose more rigid safety standards.B.Stop certifying new space-tourist agencies.C.Amend its 2004 Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act.D.Suspend Virgin Galactic's licence to take passengers into space.答案D解析根据关键词FAA定位到第四段,第三句“That means to suspend VG’s license to fly”可看出选项和选项D是相符的;66.题干What does the author think of private space travel选项A.It is worth promoting despite the risks involved.B.It should not be confined to the rich only.C.It should be strictly regulated.D.It is too risky to carry on.答案A解析通过最后一句There is no doubt that spaceflight entails risks, and to pioneer a new mode of travel is to free those risks, and to reduce them with the benefit of hard-won experience.可以看出作者对私人太空之旅是持积极态度的;Part IV Translation翻译一在中国,父母总是竭力帮助孩子,甚至为孩子做重要决定,而不管孩子想要什么,因为他们相信这样做是为孩子好;结果,孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的意愿;如果父母决定为孩子报名参加一个课外班,以增加其被重点学校录取的机会,他们会坚持自己的决定,即使孩子根本不感兴趣;然而在美国,父母可能会尊重孩子的意见,并在决策时更注重他们的意见;中国父母十分重视教育或许值得称赞;然而,他们应该向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与子女间的关系;。

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have been investigating the connection between language and well-being for several years. They have discovered that positive language can lead to better health outcomes, while negative language can have the opposite effect.The study involved 300 participants who were monitored for a period of one year. The participants were asked to keep a daily diary of their interactions with others, including both positive and negative comments. The researchers found that those who used more positive language reported fewer physical symptoms and a greater sense of well-being.Dr. Emily Thompson, the l ead researcher, explained, “We were surprised to see the impact that language can have on our health. It’s not just about what we say, but also how we say it. A gentle tone and supportive language can make a significant difference.”Here are some examples of positive and negative language:Positive Language: “I appreciate your help with the project.”Negative Language: “You always mess up the project.”The researchers also looked at the effects of language on relationships. They found that couples who used more positive language were more likely toreport a satisfying relationship, while those who used negative language were more likely to experience relationship stress.Questions:1、What is the main focus of the study conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles?A) The impact of diet on physical health.B) The connection between language and well-being.C) The effects of exercise on mental health.D) The role of social media in relationships.2、Which of the following is a positive example of language from the passage?A) “You always mess up the project.”B) “I can’t believe you did that again.”C) “I appreciate your help with the project.”D) “This is a waste of time.”3、According to the study, what is the likely outcome for couples who use negative language in their relationships?A) They will have a more satisfying relationship.B) They will experience fewer physical symptoms.C) They will report a greater sense of well-being.D) They will likely experience relationship stress.Answers:1、B2、C3、D第二题Passage OneIn the United States, there is a long-standing debate over the best way to educate children. One of the most controversial issues is the debate between traditional public schools and charter schools.Traditional public schools are operated by government and are funded by tax dollars. They are subject to strict regulations and are required to follow a standardized curriculum. Teachers in traditional public schools are typically unionized and receive benefits and pensions.On the other hand, charter schools are publicly funded but operate independently of local school districts. They are free to set their own curriculum and teaching methods. Charter schools often have a longer school day and a more rigorous academic program. They are also subject to performance-based evaluations, which can lead to their closure if they do not meet certain standards.Proponents of charter schools argue that they provide more choices for parents and that they can offer a more personalized education for students. They also claim that charter schools are more accountable because they are subject to more direct oversight and can be closed if they fail to meet their goals.Opponents of charter schools argue that they take resources away fromtraditional public schools and that they do not provide a level playing field for all students. They also claim that charter schools can be more selective in their admissions process, which may lead to a lack of diversity in the student body.Questions:1、What is a key difference between traditional public schools and charter schools?A) Funding sourceB) CurriculumC) Teacher unionsD) Academic rigor2、According to the passage, what is a potential advantage of charter schools?A) They are subject to fewer regulations.B) They offer more choices for parents.C) They are more likely to receive government funding.D) They typically have a shorter school day.3、What is a common concern expressed by opponents of charter schools?A) They are less accountable for their performance.B) They may lead to a lack of diversity in the student body.C) They are more expensive for local taxpayers.D) They do not follow a standardized curriculum.Answers:1、B) Curriculum2、B) They offer more choices for parents.3、B) They may lead to a lack of diversity in the student body.四、听力理解-新闻报道（选择题，共20分）第一题News ReportA: Good morning, everyone.

And if he does go, it won't be the rage or the expense of living in the U.S. that drives him away. It will be the leaf blowers. Americans now own more than 90 million of the evil things, he says, each of them making the job of lawn clearing much easier—and much, much louder. Rueter, a professor at UCLA who is head of the advocacy group Noise Free America, already fled Los Angeles to get away from the leaf-blower bother, only to move to New Orleans and find the problem just as bad there. "Everywhere has turned into leaf-blower hell." he says.It's not just the blowers that are driving Rueter daft. It's the boom cars—those high-decibel(分贝), low-frequency speakers on wheels that cause your windshield to buzz and your eardrums to pulse' when they pull up next to you at a stoplight. It's the car alarms too, as well as the barking dogs and the banging garbage trucks and the screaming airplanes and the roaring highways. It's the explosion of ambient(周围的) noise that seems to be everywhere, costing more and more people not only their sleep and their sanity but increasingly their hearing and health as well.According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 10 million Americans already suffer some permanent noise-induced hearing loss. They report that some 30 million are exposed to daily noise levels that will eventually reduce their ability to hear. One in eight children between the ages of 6 and 19 already have some degree of hearing loss, and adults who are going deaf are doing so earlier and earlier. "The greatest increase in noise-related hearing loss occurs for people a5 to 64 years old," says Dr. James Battey, director of the National Institute on Deafness. "This is almost 20 years younger than we would expect."And it's not just our ears the noise is hurting. It-takes sounds in excess of 85 db to damage hearing, but noise at less than 75 db may be linked to hypertension, and that at just 65 db leads to stress, heart damage and depression. Think the noise in your environment doesn't rise to that level? Think again. A ringing telephone can reach 80 db; a hair dryer hits 90 db; an ambulance siren can top out at 120 db. "Noise pollution is truly a public health threat, "says Representative Nita Lowey of New York, who has reintroduced a bill in Congress to turn down the volume. "It's critical," she says, "that we work to diminish the impact noise has on our communities."The booming of America has many causes. Population growth in city centers,loss of rural land to suburban sprawl, and the soaring number and size of cars on the highways all play a role. So too does the entertainment industry, with Walkmans, Pods and surround-sound theaters pouring noise into consumers' cars. Even sports stadiums, always noisy places, have got louder as earsplitting commercials fill the comparatively quiet interludes that used to prevail during pauses in the action.Whatever the roots of the problem, the noise is now everywhere—and the workplace may be the worst place of all. At least 20% of US workers do their jobs in environments that could endanger their hearing, according to NIOSH. The US government estimates that more than 90% of coal miners suffer hearing impairment by age 50. Even farms are not exceptional: according to the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health, a staggering 75% of farmers now exhibit some hearing impairment, mostly as a result of noisy equipment. "Hearing loss is one of the most common workplace conditions, "says audiologist Ted Madison.For kids, the racket starts in the cradle. A squeaky toy held close to the ear—which is precisely where babies may put them—can reach 94 db. A toy xylophone(木琴) can ring in at 92 db. And since babies' car canals are so small,a sound that gets in them may knock around harder than it docs in anA.YB.NC.NG8.According to scientists at the U.S. National Snow and lee Data Center, within about 60 years, there will be ______on the Arctic Ocean.9.

Although he wasn't referring to cars, his observation seems particularly appropriate for the auto industry today: Designing, developing and marketing "green" cars has not been an easy task, which is why gasoline-powered vehicles still rule the road and fossil fuels still account for almost 75 percent of the world's energy consumption. As gasoline prices soar and concern over harmful emission mounts, however, cars that run on alternate fuel sources will become increasingly important. A natural-gas vehicle, or NGV, is the perfect example of such a car -- it's fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly and offers a relatively low cost of ownership.Natural Gas BasicsThe word "gas" is a confusing term because it is used to describe many different substances that are similar but not exactly the same. For example, the "gas" you put in your car is gasoline, one component of crude oil, or petroleum. Petroleum is a dark, sticky liquid mixture of compounds formed underground by the decay of ancient marine animals.Natural gas also comes from the decay of ancient organisms, but it naturally takes a gaseous form. instead of a liquid form. Natural gas commonly occurs in association with crude oil. It is derived from both land plants and aquatic (水生的) organic matter and forms above or below oil deposits. It is often dissolved in crude oil at the high pressures existing in a reservoir. There are also reservoirs of natural gas, known as non-associated gas, that contain only gas and no oil.Natural gas consists primarily of methane (沼气) and other hydrocarbon gases. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed only of the elements carbon and hydrogen. The hydrocarbons in natural gas are called saturated hydrocarbons because they contain hydrogen and carbon bound together by single bonds.Like gasoline, natural gas is combustible (易燃的), which means it can be used in a combustion engine like gasoline. But cars that could burn natural gas didn't appear on the scene until the 1930s.From Field to FordWe extract natural gas trapped in underground reservoirs by drilling wells into the earth. A modern well. equipped with diamond-studded drill bits, can drill to depths approaching 25.000 feet.Throughout the 19th century, the use of natural gas remained localized because there was no way to transport large quantities of gas over long distances, in 1890, the invention of a leakproof pipeline coupling made it possible to transport gas miles from the source. Improvements in pipelinetechnology continued over the next two decades until long-distance gas transmission became practical. From 1927 to 1931, ,laborers constructed more than t0 major natural gas transmission systems in the United States, making natural gas a viable energy source for many applications. The oil shortages of the late 1960s and early 1970s brought renewed interest in natural gas as a fuel source, especially for automobiles.Today, owners of natural-gas vehicles can fill up their cars at one of 1,300 fueling stations located in the United States. Honda also offers a personal natural gas pump to people who purchase its natural-gas-powered Civic. The pump uses a home's existing natural gas lines and can be installed for $ 500 to $1500.Natural-gas Vehicle DesignNatural-gas vehicles use the same basic principles as gasoline-powered vehicles. In other words, the fuel (natural gas in this case) is mixed with air in the cylinder of a four-stroke engine and then ignited by a spark plug to move a piston (活塞) up and down. Although there are some differences between natural gas and gasoline in terms of flamability and ignition temperatures, NGVs themselves operate on the same fundamental concepts as gasoline-powered vehicles.Still, someA.YB.NC.NG14.

The trend of the evidence has been consistent and indicates that there is a serious health risk Research teams have conducted studies that show beyond all reasonable doubt that cigarette smoking is associated with a shortened life expectancy.Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers in this field to be an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of throat. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than nonsmoking makes. Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply.It might be helpful to look at what smoking actually does to the human body. Smoke is a mixture of gases, vaporized chemicals, minute particles of ash, and other things. There is also nicotine, which is a powerful poison and black tar. As the smoke is breathed in, all these components form. deposits on the membranes of the lungs. One point of concentration of deposits is where the air tube divides. Most lung cancer begins at this point.Smoking also affects the heart and Blood vessels. It is known to be related to Beurger' s disease, a narrowing of the small veins in the hands and feet that can cause great pain.

Emergency services, the fire departments, the police, hospitals and ambulances stood by, ready to go into action. In railway and underground stations, people read notices and maps, which told them where to go and what to do in the emergency. (26)This was Exercise Floodcall, to prepare people for a flood emergence. London wasn't flooded, yet. But it is possible that it would be. In 1236 and in 1663, London was badly flooded. In 1928, people living in Westminster, the heart of London, drowned in floods. And in 1953, 100 people, living on the eastern edge of the London suburbs, were killed again in the floods. At last, Greater London Council took action to prevent this disaster from happening again. (27)Though a flood wall was built in 1980s, Londoners still must be prepared for the possible disaster. If it happens, 50 underground stations will be under water. Electricity, gas, and phone services will be out of action. Roads will be drowned. It will be impossible to cross any of the bridges between North and South London. Imagine! London will look like the famous Italian city, Venice. (28)But this Exercise Floodcall didn't cause panic among Londoners. Most people knew it was just a warning. One lady said, "It's a flood warning, isn't it? The water doesn't look high to me."(27)A.One bridge between North and South London collapsed.B.The heart of London was flooded.C.An emergency exercise was conducted.D.A hundred people in the suburbs were drowned.三、4.Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)(20题)41.What can be inferred from the example of the ant-lion in the first paragraph?A.Instincts of animals can lead to unreasonable reactions of animals in a strange situation.B.When it is engaged in a chain actions it cannot be interrupted.C.Environment and heredity are two supplementary factors in the evolution of insects.D.Along the lines of evolution heredity becomes less and environment more important.42.What's the author's purpose of writing the article?A.To persuade people to move to sparsely populated areas.B.To prove that Edinburgh is not suitable for people to live in.C.To attract government's attention to people's sense of happiness.D.To offer readers the information of people's feeling of well-being.43.Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.No one should be forced to wear a uniform. under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform. loses all selfworth.There are those who say that wearing a uniform. gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled(轻视) by a wealthy person who wears expensivequality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one's life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous(多余的) as well; why bother to sell the only items that areavailable? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect(连锁反应) on such industries as advertisingand promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.What is the ultimate effect of wearing a uniform. on the individual?44.It is commented by the author that the passages selected in the book is a ______.45. According to the American Law Institute, the warnings on products should not be intended for legal protection but for ______ .46. In a harassment suit filed by a senior employee, who had left printouts from an adult website in her office?47.Thurman Grafton suggests that ______ .A.animal abuse is horrible and should be terminatedB.the teachers have been compelled to do all animal experimentsC.prohibition of experiments on animals will discourage students from being curiousD.the International Science and Engineering Fair will cease to operate because of the new policies48.The author most probably thinks that the news about the communist dictator is ______.A.rumorousB.ridiculousC.unreasonableD.groundless49.Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.When you stop smoking, you're likely to feel tense, nervous, irritable, anxious — even eat more. You may think it's purely psychological, but it's also physical. It's caused by your body craving nicotine — physically craving nicotine. And Habitrol can help relieve those cravings.Habitrol is a nicotine patch, available only by prescription from your doctor. It replaces some of the nicotine you're not getting from cigarettes and helps lessen the effects of your withdrawal symptoms. When used as part of a comprehensive behavioral smoking cessation program, Habitrol has been clinically proven to increase the chances of quitting smoking in the critical first three months. That's when the nicotine withdrawal symptoms force many people back to smoking.Remember how stressed out, anxious and burdensome you felt the last time you tried to quit? And how you thought it was purely psychological and there was nothing that could help you? Well, now you know it's also physical and there is something that can help you. Habitrol.Habitrol is a drug indicated as an aid to smoking cessation for the relief of nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Its effectiveness has been established only as part of a comprehensive behavioral smoking cessation program. It won't work for everyone. In studies during the first 3 months after quitting, Habitrol has been shown to increase the chances of stopping smoking. Long-term studies of Habitrol haven't been conducted. It shouldn't be used for more than 3 months.Habitrol, like cigarettes, contains nicotine, so stop smoking completely before starting Habitrol. And do not smoke or use anything with nicotine while on it. If you're pregnant or nursing (nicotine could cause fatal harm) or have heart disease, or other conditions, ask your doctor about other ways to stop smoking. If you're taking prescription medicine or under a doctor's care, ask your doctor about the potential risks of Habitrol. Habitrol hasn't been studied in pregnant women or in patients under 18.

This year, however, there seems to be a new trend that is not just seasonal but also global. It’s called “slow fashion,” and it’s all about taking a more mindful approach to clothing consumption.The concept of slow fashion was first introduced by the Slow Food Movement in the 1980s. It’s based on the idea that people should slow down and enjoy the process of eating and living, rather than rushing through life. The same philosophy is now being applied to the fashion industry.One of the main goals of slow fashion is to reduce waste. Traditional fast fashion relies on mass production and often results in a high level of clothing waste. Slow fashion encourages consumers to buy fewer, higher-quality items that will last longer. This not only reduces waste but also supports sustainable practices.Another key aspect of slow fashion is the emphasis on ethical production. Many fast fashion brands have been criticized for their poor working conditions and exploitation of workers. Slow fashion brands, on the other hand, prioritize fair wages and safe working environments.Here is an article that discusses the rise of slow fashion and its impact on the industry.Questions:1、What is the main idea of the passage?A) The Slow Food Movement’s influence on the fashion industry.B) The environmental and ethical issues in the traditional fashion industry.C) The emergence of slow fashion as a new global trend.D) The benefits of buying fewer, higher-quality items.2、The phrase “slow fashion” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to:A) Fashion that is popular for a long time.B) Fashion that is designed to be worn for a long time.C) Fashion that is made using traditional methods.D) Fashion that is not influenced by seasonal trends.3、According to the passage, what is one of the main goals of slow fashion?A) To promote fast fashion brands.B) To increase clothing consumption.C) To reduce clothing waste.D) To encourage seasonal fashion trends.4、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an aspect of slow fashion?A) Reducing waste.B) Supporting sustainable practices.C) Increasing the number of fashion items.D) Prioritizing fair wages.5、The author’s attitude towards slow fashion can best be described as:A) Critical.B) Skeptical.C) Supportive.D) Indifferent.Answers:1、C2、B3、C4、C5、C七、阅读理解-仔细阅读（选择题，共20分）第一题Reading Passage 1The digital age has brought about significant changes in the way we communicate, learn, and work. One of the most notable transformations is the rise of online learning platforms, which have democratized education by making it accessible to a wider audience.

Taking a look around, one can find examples too many to list: some refuse to go to Chinese classes, some read few Chinese classics and some rarely write in Chinese。

A number of factors can account for such phenomenon, but the following might be the critical ones.

This trend is not surprising, given the rapid advancements in technology and its integration into various aspects of our lives.In my opinion, the role of technology in education is multifaceted. Firstly, it has revolutionized the way students learn. With access to the internet and educational platforms, students can now access a wealth of information and resources, which enhances their learning experience. This has made education more personalized and adaptable to individual learning styles.Secondly, technology has made education more inclusive. Online courses and distance learning programs have opened up educational opportunities for students who are unable to attend traditional classrooms, such as those in remote areas or with physical disabilities. This has helped bridge the educational gap and promote equal access to education.However, there are also challenges associated with the increasing reliance on technology in education. For instance, the digital divide remains a concern, as not all students have equal access to technology and the internet. Additionally, excessive use of technology can lead to distractions and a lack of face-to-face interaction, which are crucial for social and emotional development.In conclusion, the role of technology in education is undeniable. While it has brought numerous benefits, it is essential to address the challenges and ensure that technology is used responsibly and equitably.Analysis:This essay effectively addresses the given topic by discussing the positive and negative aspects of technology in education. The writer starts bysummarizing the chart and then presents a clear position on the topic. The essay is well-structured, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs that support the writer’s viewpoint, and a concise conclusion.The introduction mentions the chart and indicates the writer’s intention to discuss the role of technology in education. The body paragraphs provide specific examples and explanations to support the writer’s arguments. The first paragraph discusses the positive impact of technology on learning and personalization, while the second paragraph addresses the inclusiveness of education through online and distance learning programs.The third paragraph acknowledges the challenges associated with technology, such as the digital divide and potential distractions. The conclusion summarizes the main points and reinforces the writer’s view that technology plays a significant role in education but must be used responsibly.The essay is concise, with a word count within the required range, and demonstrates a good command of the English language.二、听力理解-长对话（选择题，共8分）第一题W: Hi, John.

Critical第二题In recent years, the rise of e-commerce has revolutionized the way people shop. With just a few clicks, consumers can purchase products from all over the world and have them delivered to their doorstep. This convenience has led to a significant increase in online shopping, but it has also brought about some challenges.One major challenge is the issue of product authenticity. As the market becomes more global, consumers are increasingly purchasing products from foreign countries. While this allows for a wider variety of choices, it also opens the door to counterfeit goods. Consumers often find it difficult to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit products, which can lead to wasted money and disappointment.Another challenge is the problem of return policies. Many online retailers offer generous return policies, which can be beneficial for consumers. However, some retailers take advantage of this leniency by providing vague return guidelines or imposing hidden fees. This can leave consumers feeling frustrated and misled.Despite these challenges, the benefits of online shopping are undeniable. Here are some of the key advantages:1.Convenience: Online shopping allows consumers to shop from the comfort of their own homes, saving them time and energy.2.Variety: Consumers can access products from all over the world, which increases their choices.petitive Pricing: Online retailers often offer lower prices due to lower overhead costs.4.Customer Reviews: Consumers can read reviews from other customers, which can help them make informed purchasing decisions.The following passage contains information that might help answer the questions below.Questions:1、What is one of the main challenges mentioned in the passage regarding online shopping?A. The high cost of shipping.B. The difficulty of identifying authentic products.C. The lack of customer reviews.D. The inconvenience of returns.2、According to the passage, what can consumers do to avoid purchasing counterfeit goods?A. Shop only from reputable retailers.B. Always pay with cash to avoid credit card fraud.C. Ignore reviews and rely on their own judgment.D. Avoid purchasing products from foreign countries.3、What is a potential issue with online retailers’ return policies?A. They are too strict and make it difficult for consumers to return items.B. They are too lenient and encourage consumers to return items unnecessarily.C. They are inconsistent and can be misleading to consumers.D. They are expensive and can add to the cost of the product.4、What is one advantage of online shopping mentioned in the passage?A. The ability to shop without leaving home.B.

The country was heavily dependent on imported oil, which was causing economic and political instability. In order to address this issue, the federal government initiated a program to promote the development of renewable energy sources, including solar power.One of the key players in this program was a young engineer named Steven Koonin. He was fascinated by the potential of solar power and dedicated his career to its development. Koonin’s research focused on improving the efficiency of solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity.Initially, solar cells were very expensive and inefficient. However, Koonin and his team were able to make significant breakthroughs. They developed a new type of solar cell that was much cheaper and more efficient than the existing technology. This breakthrough had a profound impact on the solar industry.Koonin’s work was not limited to solar cells. He also researched other renewable energy sources, such as wind and geothermal power. He believed that a diverse mix of renewable energy sources was necessary to ensure a stable andsustainable energy supply for the United States.Despite the success of his research, Koonin faced numerous challenges. One of the biggest challenges was securing funding for his projects. He had to navigate the complex political landscape and convince investors and policymakers of the value of renewable energy.Over the years, Koonin’s work has had a significant impact on the renewable energy industry. His research has helped to make solar power more affordable and accessible. As a result, the United States has become one of the world leaders in solar energy production.Today, Koonin continues to advocate for the development of renewable energy. He believes that it is crucial for the country to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and transition to a sustainable energy future.Questions:1、What was the main purpose of the federal government program mentioned in the passage?A、To promote the development of renewable energy sources.B、To encourage the use of solar power in the United States.C、To reduce the country’s dependence on imported oil.D、To improve the efficiency of solar cells.2、What was the initial challenge faced by Koonin and his team in developing solar cells?A、The high cost of solar cells.B、The low efficiency of solar cells.C、The difficulty of securing funding for their projects.D、The political resistance to renewable energy.3、According to the passage, what is one of the reasons why Koonin believeda diverse mix of renewable energy sources was necessary?A、To ensure a stable and sustainable energy supply.B、To reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.C、To make solar power more affordable.D、To improve the efficiency of solar cells.4、Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a renewable energy source by Koonin?A、Solar power.B、Wind power.C、Geothermal power.D、Nuclear power.5、What is the author’s attitude towards Koonin’s work?A、Critical.B）Objective.C）Positive.D）Negative.答案：1、A2、B3、A4、D5、C第二题Reading PassagesPassage OneIn the wake of the global financial crisis, there has been a growing concern about the future of higher education. Many argue that the rising cost of tuition fees and the increasing debt burden on students are making higher education less accessible. However, a new study suggests that while the cost of attending college is indeed rising, the return on investment is still significant for most students.The study, conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, analyzed data from students who graduated between 1992 and 2012. It found that, on average, individuals with a bachelor’s degree earned about$21,000 more per year than those with only a high school diploma. Furthermore, the gap in earnings between college graduates and high school graduates has been widening over time.Despite the economic benefits, the study also highlighted the growing gap in access to higher education. Students from low-income families are less likely to attend college and, if they do, they are more likely to accumulate substantial debt. This discrepancy is partly due to the fact that students from low-incomefamilies are less likely to have the financial resources to cover the costs of college.Questions:1、What is the main concern expressed in the first paragraph of the passage?A. The cost of attending college is decreasing.B. The future of higher education is uncertain.C. Students are accumulating less debt.D. The return on investment in higher education is diminishing.2、According to the study, what is the average difference in annual earnings between college graduates and high school graduates?A.$6,000B.$12,000C.$21,000D.$30,0003、Why are students from low-income families more likely to accumulate substantial debt?A. They are more likely to attend college.B. They have fewer financial resources.C. They earn less than college graduates.D. They are more likely to drop out of college.4、What is one of the reasons for the growing gap in access to higher education mentioned in the passage?A. The cost of attending college is increasing.B. Students from low-income families are more likely to attend college.C. The return on investment in higher education is decreasing.D. There is a lack of financial aid for low-income students.5、What is the author’s overall stance on the future of higher education?A. It is becoming less accessible to low-income students.B. The economic benefits of higher education are diminishing.C. The rising cost of tuition fees is a significant concern.D. The return on investment in higher education is still significant.Answers:1、B2、C3、B4、A5、D八、翻译-汉译英（15分）Translation from Chinese to EnglishDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
