If it looks like a duck, walks a nd quacks like a duck, then it is a duck. But tackling millions of species in t his way has proven to be a recipe for confusion. As scientists have found to th eir cost, what looks like a duck may in fact be a goose.More recently, genetic techniques have been applied, particularly for distingui shing the more difficult-to-identity species such as viruses and bacteria by co mparing pieces of DNA. Might this approach be more generally applicable? Paul H ebert and his colleagues in Canada think it might be. Just as barcodes and the “universal product code” numbering scheme uniquely identify different items a t a supermarket checkout, they suggest that some stretches of DNA could perform a similar function in living things. In a paper just published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, they discuss how long such a genetic barcode needs to b e, and where it might be found.A universal product code found on the high street consists of a string of 11 di gits, each of which is one of ten numerals, providing 100 billion unique combin ations. Genetic material, however, uses a quaternary, rather than a denary, cod ing system. In theory, it would only be necessary to sample 15 of those letters to create one billion unique codes.In practice, however, the characteristics of DNA mean that 15 letters are not e nough. Unlike the arbitrary numbers of a universal product code, the letters of DNA are not random, because they code for something that a biological meaning.Part Three WritingDirections: Boshi Electronic (China) Co., Ltd. is planning to recruit an assis tant to the general manager.

Television has helped im prove standards of education. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.I disagree that television has helped improved standards of education for a num ber of reasons. The first and probably the most important reason is the program ming. Around the world it is movies, sit-com, soap operas, pop music and talk s hows which dominate TV screens. There may be nothing wrong with these, and they are certainly popular with audiences, but the content of these programs has no t helped to make people better educated.Typical television programs have also had a bad effect on viewers? Attention sp an, that is, on how long they can concentrate. Most TV programs do not require much concentration and young viewers, especially, get used to this. Education, on the other hand, does require concentration and young people find this increa singly difficult.Another characteristic of television is that it encourages a passive attitude i n viewers instead of an active one. Most popular TV programs encourage an uncri tical response, but education requires you to think about what is presented to you, to react to it and in some way to make use of it. In addition, passive TV-watching has often taken the place of more active pursuits such as reading, music, playing board games and conversation, all of which are more educational tha n a typical evening of TV.Finally, it seems to be true that television makes it difficult for viewers, es pecially young ones, to distinguish properly between fact and fiction. This con fusion, which is really another kind of uncritical response, again works agains t educational principles.Television has done many good things. It entertains lonely, old and sick people; it certainly helps countries’ economies by selling products, and can be very informative by bringing news from around the locality, the country and the worl d into peoples’ homes. However, by making people passive and uncritical, telev ision has a negative effect on education.范文2：There have been many arguments in recent years whether nuclear energy should be used to generate electricity. Do you think nuclear energy should or should not be used for this purpose in your country? Which side do you agree with? Use sp ecific reasons and examples to support your answer.Before giving my opinion, I think it is important to look at the arguments on b oth sides. People who support using nuclear energy to produce electricity usual ly give some or all of the following reasons. The first argument is that it is potentially cheaper than any other way. The second is that other ways of produc ing electricity require nonrenewable resources, such as coal and oil, and one d ay these will be used up. This, they say, is not the case if we use nuclear ene rgy. The third reason is more of a political one: some countries do not have th e raw materials, such as coal, oil or water, which are needed to generate elect ricity and so they have to depend too much on other countries.People who attack using nuclear energy for generating electricity generally say that it is too dangerous, both now and in the future. They point to severe nuc lear accidents, such as Chernobyl, and some others in the United States, and sa y that the effects are so bad that the risk of an accident, even if the risk is very small, is not worthwhile. They also often say that there will be problems in the future of how to store the dangerous waste from old nuclear power stati ons, which can be deadly for thousands of years.As far as my own country is concerned, I believe there are two main reasons why it should not try to use nuclear energy at this time. Firstly, we have plenty of oil and hydroelectric energy from which to generate electricity. Secondly, i f countries like the United States and Russia can suffer nuclear accidents, it would be very difficult to guarantee safety in my country. Furthermore, we have many better and more urgent things to do with the money.常用词语与表达法1.

And what are the times normally?WOMAN:We try to keep it pretty fixed so that, that students get to know the p attern. We leave at eight-thirty . and return at six . We figure it’s best to keep the day fairly short.MAN: Oh yes. And how do we reserve a place?WOMAN:You sign your name on the notice board(Q4). Do you know where it is? MAN: Ah ha. I saw it this morning.WOMAN: And we d o ask that you sign up three days in advance so we know we’ve got enough people interested to run it, and we can cancel if necessary, with fu ll refund of course.MAN: That’s fine, thanks.Question 5-10MAN: And what visits are planned for this term?WOMAN:Right, well I’m afraid the schedule hasn’t been printed out yet, but we have confirmed the dates and planed the optional extra visits which you can also book in advance if you want to.MAN:Oh that’s all right.

Thank you very much for all your help.WOMAN:You’re very welcome. I hope you enjoy the trips.Question 11-13Good afternoon everybody and welcome to Riverside Industrial Village. To start your visit I’m just going to give you a brief account of the history of the mu seum before letting you roam about on your own. I won’t keep you long. OK?Now, from where we’re standing you’ve got a good view of the river over th ere. And it was because of this fast-flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood(Q11), all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time.Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wheels were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen(Q12)first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bend in the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centu ries the regions rivers supported more than a hundred and sixty(Q13)water m ills-and many of these continued operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centers o f industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into the towns. So, industrial villages like this one became very rare.So that’s the history for you. If you’d like any more information, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our excellent guide book.Question 14-23Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I have been asked today to talk to you about th e urban landscape. There are two major areas that I will focus on in my talk: h ow vegetation can have a significant effect on urban climate, and how we can be tter plan our cities using trees to provide a more comfortable environment(Q1 4)for us to live in.。

Chemist Carolyn Bertozzi is one of them. Her discovery of biorthogonal chemistry (生物正交化学) in 2003 created a brand-new discipline of scientific investigation, which has enabled countless advances in medical science and led to a far greater understanding of biology at a molecular (分子的) level. On October 5, Bertozzi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, jointly with two other professors. She is also the only woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize in science this year, after an all-male line-up in 2021.Bertozzi was the middle daughter of an MIT physics professor and a secretary. Few predicted that Bertozzi would be the most famous person in the family. While her academic performance was not bad in high school, she was fond of playing soccer. She end ed up being admitted to Harvard University. Despite her talent in soccer, she found it too time-consuming and quit the sport to devote herself to academics.But before becoming a rock star scientist, Bertozzi almost became an actual rock star. When she started at Harvard, she was tempted to major in music. That idea was “unpopular” with her parents, and she was timid about defying them. Instead, she chose the premed (医学预科的) trackthat included classes in math and sciences, and declared herself a biology major at the end of her first year of college.Her interest in music did not completely fall by the wayside, however. Bertozzi played keyboards and sang backup vocals for a hair metal band. Bertozzi, however, did not play with the band for long. Once the band’s practices and performances conflicted with her labs and classes, there was only one outcome.Plus, she’d soon have organic chemistry to think about a course which is infamous for weeding out pre-meds. Without any clear career ambitions up to that point, Bertozzi had been thinking about possibly becoming a doctor when, in her sophomore year (大二学年), she suddenly fell so head over heels in love with her chemistry course that she couldn’t tear herself away from her textbooks long enough to go out on Saturday nights. A torture to many was pure pleasure for her. Bertozzi changed her major from biology to chemistry a year later.Bertozzi has sometimes joked about her having missed out on her chance to follow Morello to LosAngeles. “I didn’t get on that bus, and my playing is now limited to ‘The Wheel's on the Bus Go Round,’ I’m waiting for my sons to get old enough to appreciate 1980s heavy metal!”4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Bertozzi is one of those scientists who made significant new discoveries.B．Bertozzi was the only female to win a Nobel Prize in science in 2021.C．Bertozzi played keyboards and sang backup vocals throughout her college years.D．Bertozzi initially planned to become a doctor.5．The underlined word in Para. 3 means ________.A．tell B．disobey C．approach D．threaten6．The organic chemistry course Bertozzi took was known to be ________.A．easy and enjoyableB．difficult to pass for pre-med studentsC．popular among hair metal band playersD．a required course for all college students7．What kind of person do you think Carolyn Bertozzi is?A．Brave and sympathetic.B．Athletic and critical.C．Humble and passionate.D．Talented and creative.Willie Sutton, a once celebrated American criminal, was partly famous for saying he robbed banks because “that’s where the money is.” Actually, museums are where the money is. In a single gallery there can be paintings worth more, taken together, than a whole fleet of jets. And while banks can hide their money in basements, museums have to put their valuables in plain sight.Nothing could be worse than the thought of a painting as important as The Scream, Edvard Munch’s impressive image of a man screaming against the backdrop of a blood-red sky, disappearing into a criminal underworld that doesn’t care much about careful treatment of art works. Art theft is a vast problem around the world. As many as 10,000 precious items of all kinds disappear each year. And for smaller museums in particular, it may not be a problem they can afford to solve. The money for insurance on very famous pictures would be budget destroyers even for the largest museums.Although large museums have had their share of embarrassing robberies, the greatest problem is small institutions. Neither can afford heavy security. Large museums attach alarms to their most valuable paintings, but a modest alarm system can cost $500,000 or more. Some museums are looking into tracking equipment that would allow them to follow stolen items once they leave the museums. But conservators are concerned that if they have to insert something, it might damage the object. Meanwhile, smaller museums can barely afford enough guards, relying instead on elderly staff.Thieves sometimes try using artworks as money for other underworld deals. The planners of the 2006 robbery of Russborough House near Dublin, who stole 18 paintings, tried in vain to trade them for Irish Republican Army members held in British prison. Others demand a ransom (赎金) from the museum that owns the pictures. Once thieves in Frankfurt, Germany, made off with two major works by J.M.W. Turner from the Tate Gallery in London. The paintings, worth more than $80 million, were recovered in 2012 after the Tate paid more than $5 million to people having “information” about the paintings. Though ransom is illegal in Britain, money for looking into a case is not, provided that police agree the source of the information is unconnected to the crime. All the same, where information money end s and ransom begins is often a gray area.8．Why do smaller museums face a greater challenge in preventing art theft?A．They lack experienced staff.B．They cannot afford high-tech security systems.C．They do not have valuable artworks.D．They lack interest in art conservation.9．What is the concern of conservators regarding the use of tracking equipment to prevent art theft?A．It might damage the artwork.B．It is too expensive for smaller museums.C．It is difficult to insert into the paintings.D．It is ineffective for valuable paintings.10．From Paragraph 4, we can learn that ________.A．the thieves demanded a ransom from the Tate GalleryB．the Tate Gallery regained the lost paintings illegallyC．the money paid was considered an information fee, not a ransomD．the police requested the Tate Gallery to pay the money11．The purpose of this passage is ________.A．to remind criminals to protect and preserve the paintingB．to give suggestions on how to avoid the crimes of art theftC．to urge museums to set up more advanced security systemsD．to make people aware of art theft and the necessity of good security systemsWho cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has ledthose countries to neglect their manufacturing sector (制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.12．What are the effects of people’ misjudgments on the influences of new technology?A．It stimulates innovation.B．It affects their personal opinions.C．It influences their use of resources.D．It leads to improved technology.13．Why is the “digital divide” a concern related to the fascination with the Internet in rich countries?A．It leads to competition between rich and poor countries.B．It results in a lack of access to technology in developing countries.C．It increases the cost of computer equipment in rich countries.D．It promotes global digital cooperation.14．From Paragraph 4, we know that ________.A．donating for technology is always the better optionB．the author does not provide opinions on this matterC．donating for technology and basic needs should be balancedD．donating for basic needs should be prioritized over technology15．What is the passage mainly about?A．Significance of information and communication technology.B．Serious consequences of over-emphasizing high technology.C．Technological trends guiding economic policy making.D．How to use donation money in the new age.There’s a Symphony Just Below the Surface — Can You Hear It?Imagine it’s your birthday, and your friends and family pool their money to get you the best gift you can imagine: tickets for fabulous seats to see your favorite musical act. But what if you got to the venue and something terrible had just happened to you? 16 . Even while facing the prospect of extreme difficulty in your life, you are so thrilled to see your favorite group that fora couple of hours, you can put all of that behind you.17 . That is the ability to suspend our fears and worries and focus on what we love. In the example of the concert, we know that when the music ends, we may go back to our concerns, but while it’s playing, there is nothing we can do about them, so we might as well just give in.Life always has its music, and we don’t need to be front-row center at a concert to hear it. Throughout our lives, no matter what else is going on, a melody is present. But we are often so focused on the present moment that we fail to hear the melody. 18 .We can become magnificent listeners to life, with enough practice. And let’s face it, this is something we were born to do, so the skill is there, waiting for us to employ it. We can tap into the music, and when we do find ourselves distracted from it, we can use consciousness to bring us right back. It is as simple as saying, “OK, I’m distracted again; I am going to start listening again.”19 .Life is always playing music, but we have to listen, and we listen by being present. We can do this. 20 . When we do this, we’ll discover that the symphony inside of us is magnificent.A．As humans, we have been given a wonderful giftB．These feelings may last several minutes or even last several hoursC．In a word, wisdom and patience are the things that listening to the music of life requires D．Soon, we will find that we have to redirect ourselves less and less, and we hear the music more and moreE．You’d broken your knees, say, or you learned of a failure of examF．The noise of our worry drowns out all the other things we might otherwise hear and enjoy G．We just need to realize and engage with the music of life that is always playing二、完形填空When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read a(an) 21 article in the newspaper, which said that people were 22 old computers in backyards, throwing TVs into streams, and dumping(丢弃) cell phones in the garbage. This was dangerous because e waste contains harmful 23 that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies—and people.Alex was really worried and decided to make it next project for WIN—the Westerly Innovations Network. Alex and six of his friends had 24 this organization to help solve community problems two years before.But what could they do about this project with e-waste? The team spent several weeks gathering information about the harmful chemicals in e waste and their 25 on humans. They learned how to dispose (处置) of e-waste 26 and how it could be recycled. Then, they sent out a survey and found only one in eight knew what e-waste was, let alone how to dispose of it.Alex and his friends went into 27 . They advertised in the local newspaper and 28 notices to students, asking residents to bring their 29 electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they 30 over 9,500 kilograms of e waste.The next step was to set up a long-term e-waste drop-off center for the town. After some research, they’d learned that reusing is the best way to 31 electronic devices and it is seven times more 32 than recycling. So, they began learning to refurbish(翻新) computers themselves and distributed them to students who didn’t have their own.

Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThere are over 6,000 different computer and online games in the world now. A segment of them are considered to be both educational and harmlessly entertaining. One such game teaches geography, and another trains pilots. Others train the player in logical thinking and problem solving. Some games may also help young people to become more computer literate, which is more important in this technology-driven era.But the dark side of the computer games has become more and more obvious. “A segment of games features anti-social themes of violence, sex and crude language，，，says David Walsh, president of the National Institute on Media and Family. “Unfortunately，it’s a segment that seems particularly popular with kids aged eight to fifteen.，，One study showed that almost 80 percent of the computer and online games young people preferred contained violence. The investigators said * These are not just games anymore. These are learning machines. We’re teaching kids in the most incredible manner what it，s like to pull the trigger. What they are not learning are the real-life consequences.”They also said “The new and more sophisticated games are even worse, because they have better graphics and allow the player to participate in even more realistic violent acts.”In the game Carmageddon, for example, the player will have driven over and killed up to 33,OCX) people by the time all levels are completed. A description of the outcome of the game says: “Your victims not only squish under your tires and splatter blood on the windshield. They also get on their knees and beg for mercy, or commit suid de. If you like, you can also dismember them.”Is all this simulated violence harmful? Approximately 3,000 different studies have been conducted on this subject. Many have suggested that there is a connection between violence in games and increased aggressiveness in the players.Some specialists downplay the influence of the games, saying that other factors must be taken into consideration, such as the possibility that kids who already have violent tendencies are choosing such games. But could it be that violent games still play a contributing role? It seems unrealistic to insist thatpeople are not influenced by what they see. If that were true, why would the commercial world spend billions of dollars annually for television advertising?41. Which of the following computer games are NOT mentioned as educational and harmlessly entertaining?A. Those that teach how to fly an airplane.B. Those that teach the features of the earth.C Those that help people use computer language.D. Those that teach computer technology.42. According to the investigators, .A. the new and more sophisticated games allow the players to take part in real violent actsB. the new and more sophisticated games teach the players how to kill other peopleC. most computer and online games make the players forget the real life resultsD. most computer and online games may cultivate young people with bad manners43. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. more and more young people enjoy cruel computer gamesB- it is hard to find evidence of a link between violence and computer gamesC. there are now more incidents of violence due to computer gamesD. simulated violence in computer games is different from real violence44. The author uses “television advertising” as an example to show that ?A. the commercial world is contributing to the increasedviolence in real lifeB. computer and online games are not the only cause of increased violence in real lifeC. there is a close link between computer games and increased violence in real lifeD. other factors must be considered as possible causes of violence in real life Passage TwoThe collapse of the Earth’s magnetic field—which guards the planet and guides many of its creatures—appears to have started seriously about 150 years ago, the New York Times reported last week.The field’s strength has decreased by 10 or 15 percent so far and this has increased the debate over whether it signals a reversal of the planet’s lines of magnetic force* During a reversal，the main field weakens, almost vanishes, and reappears with opposite polarity (极）? The transition would take thousands of years. Once completed, compass needles that had pointed north would point south. A reversal could cause problems for both man and animals. Astronauts and satellites would have difficulties. Birds, fish and anintals that rely on the inagnetic field for navigation would find migration confusing. But experts said the effects would not be a big disaster, despite daims of doom and vague evidence of links between past field reversals and species extinctions.Although a total transition may be hundreds or thousands of years away, the rapid decline in magnetic strength is already affecting satellites. Last month, the European Space Agency approved the world’s largest effort at tracking the field’s shifts.A group of new satellites, called Swarm, is to monitor the collapsing field with far greater precision. “We want to get someidea * of how this would evolve in the near future, just like people trying to predict the weather，，，said Gauthier Hulot, a French geophysicist working on the satellite plan. “I，m personally quite convinced we should be able to work out the first predictions by the end of the mission.”。
