AAfrica’s most amazing places to visitPyramids of Giza, EgyptThe most famous of the structures at Giza, near Cairo, the Pyramid of King Khufu was built around 2650 BC from 2.5 million blocks of limestone.

At the time I didn’t really do a lot of research on the functions of the equipment and I really wish I had. There were so many different choices on the market and I ended up buying some that I didn’t really like all that much and now that it’s time to update them again, I’ll be more careful with the ones I choose.I’ve had my eye on KitchenAid for a while, especially the new KitchenAid equipment at BestBuy.

The equipment has a professionally inspired design that is a perfect balance of good taste and functionality.With the new KitchenAid equipment you will find cooking more optional and flexible, which contributes to your amazing performance while preparing a meal. Its five-door fridge offers organized storage and easier access to food.I love these new collections and I can’t think of a better time to update your kitchen than right now. Because when you buy now at Best Buy you will get 18 months financing or 5% rewards on major equipment and free delivery on purchases over $399.

To describe a fridge.CA recent survey shows that the widespread idea that children are born with learning styles is of little benefit to children’s learning.Researchers published a report in the Journal of Educational Psychology. Their study investigated attitudes towards different learning styles. In the survey, over 90 percent of participants said they believed in learning styles. And around half of the people tested said they believed that we are born with learning styles; that they can easily be identified; inherited from parents; and help to predict what a child will do in life. Despite the long-standing theory, there is no evidence to suggest tailoring a person's learning experience to their self-reported learning style helps them to pick up information, the authors wrote.Shaylene Nancekivell, co-author of the study, told Newsweek: “I am very concerned that parents and educators may be wasting money and time using ineffective learning tools. The popularity of the wrong idea about learning styles means that it is very easy to spend money and time on programs or strategies that may n ot be helping children learn.”Professor Paul Kirschner told Newsweek: “The real problem is that learning styles robs children of opportunities to learn by branding them as belonging to a specific group that cannot do certain things. It’s also a good excus e for parents to blame teachers and schools for their children’s poor study habits and for schools and teachers to blame makers of learning materials.”Asked to comment on the limitations of the new study, Dr. Angel Urbina-Garcia, a lecturerat the U.K.’s University of Hull who was not involved in the research, told Newsweek: “It is a good study although not outstanding given the small sample (样本).”8. Which of the following ideas about learning styles is most widely accepted?A. They have been formed since born.B. They can help predict a child's future.C. They can be inherited from parents.D. They differ from person to person.9. What is Shaylene Nancekivell concerned about?A. A waste of money and time on improper learning tools.B. Creation of programs or strategies helping children learn.C. The beliefs of applicants about learning styles.D. Education level of parents and educators.10. Why does the new study have its limitation?A. People are paid to collect information.B. Only male volunteers are investigated.C. Not many participants are interviewed.D. Age is not considered in the survey.11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. .Scientists suggest adjusting teaching methods to learning styles.B. The th eory of learning styles doesn’t help children learn.C. Classifying children to groups may undervalue their abilities .D. Children get into bad study habits because of learning styles.DThe idea that computers have some amount of “intelligence” is not new, says Ralph Haupter, the president of Microsoft Asia, pointing as far back as 1950 when computer pioneer Alan Turing asked whether machines can think. “So it has taken nearly 70 years for the right combination of factors to come together to mov e AI from concept to reality,” says Haupter.It is predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will be the story of the coming generations, not just the coming year, but as 2024 gets underway, you’ll find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers.“Personal assistant AIs will keep getting smarter. As our personal assistants learnmore about our daily routines, I can imagine the day I need not to worry about preparing dinner. My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for.” —Alejandro Troccoli “Thanks to AI, the face will be the new credit card, the new driver’s license and the new barcode (条形码). Facial recognition is already completely transforming security with biometric capabilities being adopted, and seeing how technology and business are connected, like Amazon is with Whole Foods, I can see a near future where people will no longer need to stand in line at the store.” —Georges Nahon“2024 will be the year AI becomes real for medicine. By the end of the year we’re seeing solutions for population health, hospital operations and a broad set of clinical specialties quickly follow behind. ” —Mark Michalski12.What can we know about AI from the first two paragraphs?A. The idea of AI just came up recently.B. The concept of AI was put forward by Ralph Haupter.C. It took 70 years to turn the concept into reality.D. People didn’t expect AI to develop so rapidly.13. Who sees the future of AI doing housework instead of human being?A. Alan Turing.B. Alejandro Troccoli.C. Mark Michalski.D. Georges Nahon.14. What is Georges Nahon’s job?A. Director of a hospital.B. Chief operating officer of a news paper.C. President of a research laboratory.D. Chairman of an energy corporation.15.How is the passage developed?A. By explaining cause and effect.B. By presenting research results.C. By describing personal experiences.D. By listing some predictions.其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

However,the truth is that non-choosy people may also make their quick decisions,and rationalize them to make them fit,even if it wasn't the best decision in the first place.Section B VocabularyDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.10分A.claimedB.evacuateC.fabricsD.regularE.significantlyF.sinkG.rainstorms H.similar I.initially J.swallowing K.thought“It was a wave of water,”says Oulimata Sambe.She points out the still-sodden(湿透的) armchairs,muddy wardrobe and the water stain a metre and a half up the wall in her small house in Ngor,a fishing village within Dakar,the capital of Senegal.“I had two grandkids on my bed,I had to(31)______them out of the window,”she adds.Not faraway,underpasses on Dakar's scenic corniche(滨海路)became car-(32)______lakes.Just weeks earlier another downpour had turned quiet streets in Dakar into raging rivers and collapsed a section of motorway.(33)______events regularly occur across the region.Recent flooding and landslides also killed eight people in Freetown,the capital of Sierra Leone.In June flooding killed12people in Abidjan,the commercial capital of Ivory Coast.Floods in Lagos,Nigeria’s commercial capital, (34)______another seven lives.Even when they are not deadly,city floods ruin lives and livelihoods.Storm water recently flooded the biggest textile(纺织业)market in Kano,a city in northern Nigeria,destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars’worth of(35)______.Unusually heavy rains have become(36)______more common over the past30years, leaving huge numbers of people at risk.In places this is partly because of deforestation.A recent study by Christopher Taylor of the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology,a research institute,and his coauthors found that afternoon(37)______in deforested parts of coastal west Africa happen twice as often compared with30years ago.Their frequency went up by only about a third in places that kept their forests.Yet(38)______flooding of cities in west Africa is not only caused by heavier rain.Unplanned urbanization is also to blame.As cities have grown,builders have thrown up concrete walls with little(39)______about providing drainage,making it harder for water to find a clear path to the sea.As ever larger areas have been paved over,there has been less exposed soil into which water can gently(40)______away.And as cites get more packed with new arrivals,their few functioning drains get overwhelmed or clogged.III.Reading Comprehension45分Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.15分When Harry told me that he was leaving the company,one of the first things he said to me was that he didn’t like emotional goodbyes.I have decided to take him at his word.Everything you will hear me say tonight is straightforward and___41___,just like the man himself.Harry has been in the finance departent for seven years.In that time,he has not done anything remotely___42___.I asked several people if they had anecdotes(轶事)about him,and the best they could come up with is that he once accidentally changed a formula in the annual budget spreadsheet.Since the___43___was quickly spotted and fixed,it had no impact at all.Will Harry be___44___?Not at all,though for reasons that he may not fully grasp.This is an evening in which the person who is leaving receives presents(as well as a card from people whose names you don't recognize but who just loved working with you).But the___45___goes both ways.The leavers have a parting gift of their own to present:a convenient scapegoat(替罪羊).When someone dies,the convention is not to speak ill of the departed.When an employee ___46___a company,it's the opposite.Things that don't work as well as they should can be laid at the door of someone who won't___47___.Frustrations that have been suppressed can finally be blamed on someone.When we speak of you,we will say things like“Harry had many strengths but...",and we will___48___ourselves that you held us back a bit.This will not be true,but it will be___49___.I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that we are grateful for this___50___ act of service,which can last for as long as a year after someone has actually left the building. After that,memories tend to fade.I wish I could promise you that you are part of company folklore,or that your role in banning plastic straws from the office will ring through the ages. ___51___,the only guarantee I can give is that no one here will ever read your exit-interview notes.This may all seem a little___52___.You have spent many years at the company,and yet will probably___53___.But in

the past year,and its share price by more than a quarter.Nearly3bn people use its products every month.Why did such a successful company change its name as Meta?The likely official reason for the rebranding is that the firm has outgrown the social network that Mark Zuckerberg started17years ago in a Harvard dorm.Today it includes other social apps (Instagram,WhatsApp,Messenger)and video hardware(Oculus,Portal).It has launched a digital wallet(Novi)and may yet offer a currency(Diem).Mr Zuckerberg expects people eventually to associate his firm more with the“metaverse”(元字宙),a virtual space for work play and more, than with social media.Facebook wouldn't be the first tech giant to do so.In2015Google set up Alphabet,a holding company for the search engine and its many side projects.Under this model,Facebook would become just another app within a wider family,though by far it has been the biggest earner.There is another possible motive for a makeover.For all its financial success,the Facebook brand has become tarnished.The social network is blamed for fueling everything from teenage anorexia(厌食症)to uprising at the US Capitol.Public trust in it is lower than in most tech giants, and falling.Although two years ago the firm started branding its apps as being“from Facebook”, its new smart glasses,which can record video and take phone calls,feature only the logo of its partner,Ray-Ban.A former employee revealed that Facebook was trying to cover up a drop in young American users.Mr Zuckerberg himself has been a reason for much of the criticism of Facebook,and of bossy tech firms more generally.As the all-powerful founder,he has a higher profile than his opposite numbers at TikTok,YouTube and other social networks.Normally,a brand facing a reputational crisis might dump its unpopular CEO.But Mr Zuckerberg’s position is immovable, which may explain why he would want to dump the brand instead.56.Facebook changed its name because________.A.it wanted people to associate its name with universeB.it was trying to follow the fashion led by GoogleC.it expected to expand its business to a wider rangeD.its former name has brought bad reputation to the company57.What can we know about Facebook?A.It was founded by Zuckerberg in Harvard's dormitory.B.It has a positive influence on teenagers’mind and actions.C.It is as popular among young people in the US as it was.D.It produced smart glasses with two companies’logos on it.58.What does the underlined word“tarnished”mean in the passage?A.distinguishedB.abandonedC.globalizedD.spoiled59.This passage probably appears in________.A.a science reviewB.a business magazineC.a technical reportD.the website of FacebookBThe Pros and Cons of Napping●Daytime resting:helpful or harmful?Getting some sleep,even a short afternoon nap,may seem like a good thing for people with sleep disorders.But for those with insomnia and an already decreased desire to sleep at night, midday shut-eye can actually be counterproductive.So before you curl up on the couch this afternoon,consider whether your quick fix might backfire when you lie down in bed tonight.●Trouble sleeping at nightIf you have insomnia,naps present a problem,even if you feel tired during the day.Napping during the day can perpetuate bad sleep habits for people with temporary sleep issues caused by stress,illness,or jet lag too.“Even just a little bit of a power nap reduces your night time sleep drive,”says Ralph Downey III,PhD,director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Califoria.“The nap becomes nothing more than another episode of fragmented sleep.”●Getting through the dayIf you don't have a problem getting your z’s at night,a quick nap can work wonders to pull you through a tiresome or sleep-deprived day.In fact,a2008study found that a45-minute daytime nap can improve memory function.And previous studies have found that naps can lower blood pressure.Those who suffer from narcolepsy or shift-work syndrome may also benefit from daytime naps,says James Wyatt,PhD,director of the Sleep Disorders Service and Research Center at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.●Fatigue could be a warning signIf you're constantly fighting the urge to sleep during the day and falling asleep instantly at night,you might have obstructive sleep apnea,a condition in which you stop breathing while you sleep.In this case,naps won't help.By wearing a continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) machine that flows oxygen through your nose,however,you'll likely sleep more soundly and wake refreshed whether from a good night's rest or a quick catnap.60.If you suffer from insomnia________.A.midday shut-eye may be helpfulB.a short afternoon nap is probably a good thingC.napping during the day is considered a good habitD.a little bit of a power nap decreases your night time sleep desire61.A quick nap can be beneficial for common people except those________.A.who have a problem falling into sleep at nightB.whose memory is not good enoughC.who suffer from shift-work syndromeD.whose blood pressure is too high62.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.naps are helpful for those who have obstructive sleep apneaB.more oxygen through your nose might improve sleep qualityC.a45-minute daytime nap can be beneficial for those with insomniaD.a quick nap can pull everyone through a sleep-deprived dayCDelivering life-saving drugs directly to the brain in a safe and effective way is a challenge for medical providers.One key reason:the blood-brain barrier,which protects the brain from tissue-specific drug delivery.Methods such as an injection or a pill aren't as precise or immediate as doctors might prefer,and ensuring delivery right to the brain often requires invasive risky techniques.A team of engineers from Washington University in St.Louis has developed a new nanoparticle generation-delivery method that could someday vastly improve drug delivery to the brain,making it as simple as a sniff.“This would be a nanoparticle nasal spray,and the delivery system could allow medicine to reach the brain within30minutes to one hour,”said Ramesh Raliya,research scientist at the School of Engineering&Applied Science.“The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from foreign substances in the blood that may injure the brain,”Raliya said.“But when we need to deliver something there,getting through that barrier is difficult and invasive.Our non-invasive technique can delivel drugs via nanoparticles so there’s less risk and better response times.”The novel appronch is based on aerosol(气落胶)science and enginecring principles that allow the gencation of monodisperse nanoparticles,which can deposit on upper regions of the nasal cavity via spread.The nanoparticles were tagged with markers,allowing the researchers to track their movement.Next,researchers exposed locusts’antenna(触角)to the aerosol,and observed the nanoparticles travel from the antennas up through the olfactory nerve,which is used to sense the smell.Due to their tiny size,the nanoparticles passed through the brain-blood barrier,reaching the brain and spreading all over it in a matter of minutes.The team tested the concept in locusts because the blood-brain barriers in the insects and humans have similarities.“The shortest and possibly the easiest path to the brain is through your nose,”said Barani Raman,associate professor of biomedical engineering.“Your nose,the olfactory bulb and then olfactory cortex:two steps and you’ve reached the cortex.”To determine whether or not the foreign nanoparticles disrupted normal brain function,Saha examined the physiological response of olfactory neurons in the locusts before and after the nanoparticle delivery and found no noticeable change in the electrophysiological responses was detected.“This is only a beginning of a set of studies that can be performed to make nanoparticle-based drug delivery approaches more principled”Raman said.The next phase of research involves fusing the gold nanoparticles with various medicines,and using ultrasound to taarget a more precise dose to specific areas of the brain,which would be especially beneficial inbrain-tumor cases.63.This passage is mainly about________.A.a novel method of drug deliveryB.a challenge facing medical staffC.a new medicine treating brain diseasesD.a technique to improve doctors’ability64.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Doctors prefer using methods like an injection to treat diseases.B.Locusts were taggged with markers to track their movement.C.The blood-brain barrier lowers the effectiveness of a pill.D.The medicine could reach the brain within half an hour.65.The researchers focused their study on locusts because________.A.human and locusts have similar structures that protect brain from foreign substances.B.the delivery process consists of the olfactory bulb and the olfactory cortexC.locusts have changeable electrophysiological responses to nanoparticlesD.The shortest and possibly the safest path to the brain is through human’s noses66.________would most be interested in reading this passage.A.A lung cancer patient who needs operation immediatelyB.A college student who majors in medical technologyC.A senior doctor who is about to retireD.A high school teacher who is teaching biologySection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.8分A.If this is a battle,signs indicate that the pro-phone crowd has already won.B.But rather than expressing firustration about this awkwardness,she said she felt guilty,as if she were the one challenging convention.C.In recent years,the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit.D.The cause of this recent craze was Bouquets to Art,one of the most popular annual events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.E.The truth is people like selfies more than the exhibits way beyond researchers’imagination.F.But the issue is complicated for the professionals running museums.A San Francisco Museum Tackles Art’s Instagram DilemmaA woman held tightly her phone to her heart,the way a missionary might hold a Bible.She was anxious to take a picture of a stunning bouquet of flowers,but first she had toget through a crowd of others who were doing the same.(67)___________For the34th year,florists were asked to create bouquets that respond to pieces of art on display,from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures.A tower of baby’s breath imitates a waterfall in a nearby painting by Gustav Grunewald.Red flamingo flowers and neon blue sticks echo a surreal portrait of a woman by Salvador Dali.It's amazing and also extremely Instagrammable,to the point that it has become a problem.(68)__________Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their sponsors.So the de Young responded with a kind of agreement:carving out“photo free”hours duringthe exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.A study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is truth to this.It found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering what they saw.(69)__________Linda Butler,the de Young’s head of marketing,communications and visitor experience,acknowledges that not everyone wants amuseum to be“a selfie playland”.Yet a lot of other people do,and her take is that the de Young is in no position to claim that one motivation for buying a$28ticket is more valid than another.If we removed social media and photography,she says,“we should risk becoming irrelevant”.(70)__________On this visit to the museum,most people seemed to treat the photo craze as the new normal.Many politely waited their turn and got out of other people's shots even as visitors bumped into each other in crowded galleries.IV.Summary Writing:10分Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main points)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.It is a common sight on campus or in the streets:a young person rides by on an electric scooter,traveling quickly and proudly.But Beijing's traffic authorities have said that starting on Sept.5,people who are caught riding electric scooters on public roads or bicycle lanes will be fined10yuan.They will also be given a warning not to use the vehicles on public roads again.The announcement was made after traffic police in Shanghai started a campaign to get electric scooters off public roads,with police officers stopping riders because the scooters could cause traffic problems.The Beijing Consumer Association said it had tested more than20electric scooters of different brands recently and found that most had substandard brakes.It added that16 of the tested scooters could go faster than the maximum20km per hour set for electric bikes. According to the traffic police,people who ride electric scooters at certain speeds can easily bump into the vehicles in the vehicle lane and hurt people who walk in the bicycle lanes.But seeing the benefits that electric scooters have brought to young people,experts are worried that the ban may take effect slowly.Electric scooters are a great answer to the“last mile problem of getting from a public transport station to one’s home.They're light enough to throw over your shoulder.They're easy to ride just about anywhere and don't need a lot of physical effort.The scooter can travel25km on one charge.It's convenient and easy to control.They are also good for the environment.Unlike cars and buses.electric scooter produce no carbon dioxide,need no fuel and make almost no noise.For many young people,they use them to copy cool celebrities they have seen in videos.第II卷V.Translation:(3+3+4+5=15’)Directions:Translate the following sentence into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.在场的人都觉得他说的话不能证明他是无辜的。

The Conference will offer a great opportunity for senior high school students from all around the world to communicate with each other through robots. Therefore, we look forward to your active participation.The event will take place two days. On the morning of Day One, Prof. Shin’ichi Yuta of the Shibaura Institute of Technology will give a lecture on basic mobile robotics and learning through robots. This will be followed by a talk by Mr. Kazuhiko Yokoyama of Yasukawa Electric Corporation, who will explain the mechanism and control of robots and also point out the highlights ( 最精彩的部分 ) of the International Robot Exhibition.We will prepare a challenge for all the participants. We will send you themes for robot research. You will study them in advance, and on the afternoon of Day One, you will be able to experience fun and excitement of advanced robot technologies. One the morning of Day Two, you will pr esent your study and inve stigation results.On the afternoon of Day Two, as the final event, awards will be given by the RSJ to groups that have given outstanding presentations.We hope that many future robot researchers and engineers will be born today.21. Who is the Conference intended for ?A. The RSJ professors.B. Robot lovers of all ages.C. Japanese robot researchers.D. Senior high school students worldwide.22. When can the participants study the real robots?A. On the morning of December 4.B. On the morning of December 5.C. On the afternoon of December 4.D. On the afternoon of December 5.23. What type of writing is this text?A. A research paperB. An exhibition guide.C. An announcement.D. A robotics show guide.BTwo of the saddest words in the English language are “ if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “ Take the extra minute to do it right.”I always try to live by the “ extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only”moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I don’t only avoid those “ if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only”in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “ I love you” or “ I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “ if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventually. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a pe rsonal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.24. Which of the following is an example of the “ extra minute” rule?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.25. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ___________.A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor.B. meet her father who was already an old man.C. join in the holiday celebration of the company.D. finish her work before the deadline approached.26. The underlined word “ foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to __________.A. abandonedB. lackedC. avoidedD. wasted27. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Emotional Well-beingB. The Two saddest wordsC. The Most Useful RuleD. The Peace of MindCIf a woman has an extra piece of cake, don’t blame it on greed, blame it on her brain. Scientists have found that women’s brains react to food very differently --- and much more strongly --- than men’s. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive (着迷的) about what they eat.Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in King’s College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional magnetic resonance imaging ( FMRI ) , to look at the brains of eighteen men and women.The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists.They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males.The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non-food images. The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to.Dr. Uher said, “This could be related to biological differences between men and women. But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated reaction to food because of social pressure.”Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor at Lancaster University, said, “for centuries women have had a providing role----- preparing and cooking food for their families. And it’s part of that role to make sure the food is safe. They will thereforebe much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA. If the female brain react to food because it historically has developed neural ( 神经的 ) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.”But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved. American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, “Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate ( 天生的 ) differences or a learned process.”28. Dr. Uher and his colleagues carried out the research by comparing _________.A. FMRI’s effectiveness on women and menB. women’s and men’s reaction to different imagesC. volunteers’ reaction to food before and after mealsD. volunteer s’ reaction to different kinds of food29. In Dr. Uher’s opinion , women react more strongly to food than men most probably because they are __________.A. told to do so for a long time.B. influenced by advertisements.C. forced by powerful social influencesD. born to do so due to biological reasons30. According to Professor Carey Cooper, women _________.A. turn to food when they feel sadB. are stressed because of food safetyC. accept their social role from the heart.D. are satisfied with preparing food for their families31. What was Angelo del Parigi’s attitude towards the research results?A. Surprised.B. Uninterested.C. DoubtfulD. Curious.DTeens who are preparing to undergo cosmetic surgery often have unrealistic expectations. The growing numbers of “ makeover” television shows which make cosmetic surgery seem simple, have encouraged adolescents to pursue surgery to improve their physical appearance. As a result, more teenagers are going under the knife to achieve a desired look.When teens feel the need to have plastic surgery, they believe that it is not a huge deal, but they may not be mature enough to make such a life altering. If teens feel inadequatebefore surgery, they will most likely feel disappointed afterwards. Not only is surgery complex and risky for mature adults, it is extremely dangerous for younger people, and some doctors are performing these procedures on kids as young as fourteen!The cost of procedures can add up to thousands of dollars. Insurance does not cover the costs of these procedures. Teenagers often pay for surgery themselves—a very costly purchase for a young person. Not only can surgery become addictive for insecure teens, the consequence can be disappointing. When surgery takes an unexpected wrong turn, irreparable (不可挽回的) damage can occur. Any surgery on a young, undeveloped person has a risk of complication (并发症) such as infection(感染) , which can lead to death. Even if there are no complications, there is no guarantee that surgery will provide the “ perfect” nose or sculpted body. No matter how minor the procedure, it is not as effortless as it appears. Of course, there are cases where plastic surgery is appropriate. If a child has a serious injury or scarring from an accident, it can be beneficial. In all cases, parents must be involved in the process for the welfare of their child, and must guide them in the right direction. Fortunately, parents or legal guardians ( 监护人 ) must sign documents allowing their child to have plastic surgery. Doctors also need to be a part of the decision. Most experienced and trust-worthy physicians turn down the opportunity to operate on a teenager unnecessarily.Plastic surgery is a life-changing experience. Hopefully, more teens will realize that there is more to a person than physical beauty, and learn to accept themselves for who they are.32. Teenagers are encouraged to have plastic surgery by __________.A. some surgeonsB. TV show hostsC. their teen friendsD. lots of TV programs33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Plastic surgery being too costly for teens.B. The hidden danger in having plastic surgery.C. The development of techniques of plastic surgery.D. Plastic surgery making teens prettier without effort.34. The author may think a teenager can consider having plastic surgery if he / she ________.A. has an ugly scarB. is not very beautifulC. is supported by their parentsD. has got a doctor’s permission35. What is the author’s general attitude towards teens having plastic surgery?A. Disapproving.B. Supportive.C. Doubtful.D. Curious.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Time for a BrainstormA brainstorm is a session where a small group of people come together to solve a problem. People voice spontaneous ideas, sometimes just shouting, and a not-taker writes them all down. 36 By getting different ideas out there, ideas are said to bounce off each other and even can help solve the problem at hand. Brainstorming is often a group exercise but individuals can also conduct personal brainstorms.37 He defined it as using the brain to storm a creative problem and do so in commando (突击队) fashion, with each stormer attacking the same objective. According to him, it was easier to tone down a wild idea than think up a new one. He placed importance on the collection of as many ideas as possible and dismissed scientific thinking.Brainstorming has become one of the most popular ways to solve problems and hold discussion in schools and businesses. Many students brainstorm for a group assignment or even for a personal essay. Sarah Grace, 24, is an Australian marketing analyst and uses brainstorming during all her creative duties. She thinks brainstorming is the best way to work as a team. The sessions get everyone on the same page, everyone moving together and with a clear understanding about the foundations of an event or idea. 38However, a big problem with brainstorming is creating a mess that leads people further away from a solution. 39 If you don’t have a strong moderator or leader of the brainstorm, can go really off track, and people just start discussing something totally different. Brainstorming can sometimes confuse the hu man brain. 40 If you brainstorm too much and your page is filled up with all the messy links, you can paint yourself into a bit of corner and get trapped with ideas. You need to move past brainstorming as soon as you have something workable.A. The ideas can be smart, strange or crazy.B. It is caused by a lack of direction from a leader.C. Brainstorming really helps her organize her thoughts.D. Brainstorming really is the best way to build team spirit.E. It can open too many doors an d not suggest a clear direction.F. Brainstorms were popularized in the 1940s by American advertising boss Alex Osborn.G. They can be words, phrases, paragraphs and anything that can help answer the question.III. 完形填空(30分)A Very Special OlympianThe professor was searching for student volunteers in the lecture room for a Special Olympics event. As the sign-up sheet went up and down the rows, I started to come up with my 41 . Maybe it was the distance to the college where the event was to take place, or the early hour that 42 had to report for duty. Whatever the reasons that made me hesitate, I am thankful to this day that I 43 up volunteering. If I had missed the event, I would have missed one of the most unforgettable moments that I have ever 44 .I arrived at the volunteer tent bright and early. My task was 45 . I was to stand at the finish line only and wait until the event was over and then take the 46 to the announcing booth (公告处). Standing at the finish line, I was able to witness many amazing efforts and close races. I was most impressed by the effort each athlete put into his or her 47 . What also impressed me was the sincere 48 each athlete expressed while participating though sometimes the joy of participating in a sporting event can get 49 in the fierce competition of winning and losing.Then an amazing moment happened right before my eyes. A group of athletes were 50 up to run a short race. One of them was in a wheelchair, a little girl with a 51 smile, wearing bright bows in her hair. Her smile filled the stadium that day. I couldn’t help but smile back at her.The gun sounded. They were off. Runners sped up in the 52 with all their might. My eyes 53 for the little girl with the bright bows. There she was, pumping her arms with all the 54 she had. Her efforts were getting little result, but that did not stop her.I noticed as she got closer that she also had an injured arm. But that did not stop this bright star. The race was long over 55 the young athlete kept pumping her arms. As she finally 56 the finish line, the noise of the crowd was thunderous.
