During this ritual, an(31) _______ large and heavy cart was rolled through the streets loaded with the wooden idol(神像)of the god Jagannath. Devotees(信徒)of the god would sometimes throw themselves before the cart to be crushed and killed beneath its weight. In the reverend’s letter, the name of the god was spelled “juggernaut,” which is the form of the word we know today. The term is now used to describe a “huge, powerful and overwhelming force or institution.”The last twenty years has seen the birth of a new technological juggernaut with the (32) _______ of the internet, one that holds huge significance for questions (33) _______ privacy as well as control over our very identities.For most people today, attending to social media (34) _______ a good deal of their time.

This couldn’t be further from the truth.Take for instance FaceApp, an app that (37) _______ your face to give you the appearance of being elderly, has become so popular recently that even the Avengers got in on the act. While fun, notice that it is free to download. This is a clear (38) _______ of two possibilities: The developer earns revenue(收益)from either advertising or user-created content, i.e.the developer owns your2 / 13picture and likeness.To take it a step further, the Chinese app Zap gives users the ability to swap(交换)their face onto their favorite celebrities in video footage. Again, since it is free and has no advertisements, the company owns the content uploaded by users. This app is also part of a worrisome field of video editing tools called “deepfakes,” which, in wrong hands, can depict people (39) _______ criminal acts or saying things that they hadn’t. Even if these “deepfakes” can later be revealed as false, people’s lives or (40) _______ could have already been ruined as a result.Ⅲ.

Fill in the blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.What do celebrities do always look so amazing?Jennifer Aniston swears by her “wonder smoothie” for a better body, Liv Tyler (41) _______ green juice for clearer skin, and Victoria Beckham is said to (42) _______ her slim figure by sticking to a strict gluten-free diet.(43) _______ these beauty secrets may sound tempting, our advice is to wait a second before you try them. Health experts warn that celebrities’ beauty (44) _______ do not work for everyone, and, if used in the wrong way, could (45) _______ harm your skin.US actress Jennifer Aniston is the envy of women worldwide with glowing appearance.

A. inspiring B. amazing C. discouraging D. appealingSection BDirections: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Many people experience problems with their spine(脊椎)as they age. The tissue that protects the joints in the spine gradually breaks down. As a consequence, the bones, in the spine begin to rub against each other. This further harms that issue as well as the bones. The result is pain in the joints and, sometimes, in nerves near the spine.This painful problem is actually a disease called osteoporosis. Some people are more at risk of osteoporosis because of genes that they inherited from their ancestors. Extremely heavy people are also more likely to suffer from this disease because their extra weight puts much pressure on their joints. fortunately, there are steps that people can take to help prevent osteoporosis from developing in their spine.The most important step is exercise. Stretches can help the muscles around the spine relax and allow bones to shift into better alignment(排列), Strength exercises with light weights or body-weight exercises like push-ups can also help by strengthening the muscles around the spine. However, people should not overdo these exercises as repeated motions can strain the muscles around the spine. Trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique can have the same effect.Another important factor is diet. It affects the health of spine because many vitamins are5 / 13necessary for bones and nerves: These include B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which helps keep nerves healthy. People can get more B vitamin and omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements sold by stores. Another important factor is vitamin D. which is essential for strong bones. All of these vitamins and acids can be obtained from food. Thus people can help themselves by including them in their daily diets.56. What does this article mainly explain?A. Various aspects of a medical condition.B. The actions of viruses that cause illnesses.C. Drugs often used to solve the physical issue.D. The location of organs in the human body.57.

What can readers find in this article?A. A warning about working out too hard.B. A method for improving sleep quality.C. A slogan used to promote health classes.D. A big criticism often aimed at doctors.59. What does the article imply about supplement?A. They are mainly for youngsters.B. They are commercial products.C. they are now being researched.D. They are seldom truly effective6 / 13(B)Want to explore new cultures, meet new people and do something worthwhile at the same time? You can do all the three with Global Development Association (GDA). Whatever stage of life you’re at, wherever you go and whatever project you do in GDA, you’ll create positive changes in a poor and remote community.We work with volunteers of all ages and backgrounds. Most of our volunteers are aged 17-24. Now we need volunteer managers aged 25-75. They are extremely important in the safe and effective running of our programmes.

The shared goal of GDA’s projects is to _______.A. explore new culturesB. protect the environmentC. gain corporate benefitsD. help communities in need(C)By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’ socea us will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.8 / 13At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, reading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃, it foudn that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changeing,” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals what we really have changed our planet.”9 / 1363. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about ?A. The various patterns at the ocean surface.B. The cause of the changes in ocean colour.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.64. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Sensitive.B. Beneficial.C. Significant.D. Unnoticeable.65. What can we learn from the passage?A. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.B. Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.C. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.66. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.B. To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.C. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.D. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.(D)A. The technology has been used at Wimbledon since 2007.10 / 13B. With the data they can easily measure movements of players.C. Now, video is added to the mix of content for AI to examine.D. IBM has also developed a free app to allow everyone to enjoy big tournaments.E. IBM had used Watson to digest video footage elsewhere.F. Before Watson, the USTA had to manually(手动地)go through player footage.Artificial intelligence has been used widely in sports. Among other applications, it has been taught to recognize key moments during matches by analyzing both sounds and images.Now the U. S. Tennis Association (USTA) is using AI to assist in aiding top players. Using IBM’s Watson program, the USTA’s high-performance coaching division has been digesting thousands of hours of video footage. Their aim is to create customized training reports for top professionals and junior players.AI can quickly digest meta-data(元数据)and learn how to process and analyze it. _____67_____“We are treating video like a rich data source,” said Elizabeth O’Brien, program director of IBM Sports & Entertainment partnerships. “How can we actually see all the things that are hidden in video and turn them into data?”Martin Black-man, the USTA’ sg eneral manager of player development, said the data has helped create a new statistic. _____68____ “We are able to look at a player’s acceleration(加速)and speed over the course of the match and show them how their court position improves when they are moving at an optimal(最优的)level,” he said.____69____ For a typical 90-minute match, a “tagger(做标注者)” would spend two hours pulling out unforced errors(非受迫性失误)and even identifying the exact time of the start and end of each point. By contrast, Watson takes two minutes to do that while analyzing trends and patterns. That means the USTA can deliver nearly instant analysis to players shortly after their11 / 13matches.The coaching supplement to AI is the brainchild of Stephen Hammer, IBM’s sports CTO. He helped develop the highlights program and realized it could be used to help with player development._____70_____ The program created the trailer(预告片)for the horror movie Morgan, with AI determining the most emotional scenes that were used in that preview.Similarly, Watson can go through a match and, after being instructed what to look for, quickly pull out what is required for the coaches. For example, Black-man instructed Watson to focus on points after unforced errors to see whether a player performed better, the same or worse.Ⅳ.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Are you a graduate trying to plan out the best career path for yourself? Here, some tips are given on how to go about it.A university degree is no __51__ of a job, and job hunting in itself requires a whole set of skills. If you find you are not getting past the first interview, ask yourself what is happening. Is it a(n) __52__ to communicate or are there some skills you lack? And find out what you need to do to bring yourself up to the level of __53__ that would make you more attractive to them.Do not be too discouraged if you are __54__ for a job, but think about the reasons the employers give. Those who made the second interview might have been studying the same subject as you and be of __55__ ability level, but they had something which made them a __56__ match to the selector’s ideal. That could be exp erience gained through projects or vacation work,or it might be that they were better at communicating what they could offer. Do not take the comments at __57__value: think back to the interviews that generated them and make a list of where you think the shortfall in your performance lies. With this sort of analytical approach you will eventually get your foot in the door.Deciding how long you should stay in your first job is a tough call. Stay too long and future employers may question your __58__ and ambition. Of course, it depends on where you are aiming. If you are a graduate, spending five or six years in the same job is not too long provided that you take full advantage of the __59__. However, do not use this as a(n) __60__ for lacking interest or enthusiasm. Graduates sometimes fail to take ownership of their careers and take the initiative. It is up to you to make the most of what’s available within a company, and to monitor your progress in case you need to __61__. This applies particularly if you are still not sure where your career path lies.It is helpful to think through what kind of experience you need to get your __62__ job and it is not a problem to move around to a certain extent.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Any snakebite can be dangerous if infection sets in. Some types of snake poison make the bite area swollen (肿胀的) or painful. Others cause bleeding or damage the heart’s nerves. Here are some especially dangerous snakes:The largest of all poisonous snakes, king cobras can reach 5.5 meters in length. Each king cobra bite contains enough poison to kill an elephant —or 20 people. But these big snakes usually avoid people. They live throughout India, southern China and Southeast Asia.A bite from Australia’s inland taipan, the world’s most poisonous snake, releases enough poison to kill 100 men. The good news is that people rarely come in contact with this snake, and a treatment for its poison exists.Russell’s viper lives throughout Asia, including India, southern China, and on the island of Taiwan. It prefers grassy fields but can be found in forests and urban areas. It bites more people and causes more deaths than any other poisonous snake.Though short, the common Indian krait packs a powerful punch (攻击) in its bite. Most often, it strikes people at night while they are sleeping. Since the bite causes little pain, victims are often not sure that they have been bitten until they begin to experience stomach cramps (痉挛). Without treatment, symptoms will worsen quickly and can lead to death.The black mamba, a native of Africa, is actually olive or grey in color. Only the inside of its mouth is black. When black mambas feel threatened by a human, they make a loud hissing sound to warn the person away. If the warning is ignored, the snake will attack the person repeatedly. And they can attack quickly, moving over the ground at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour.66. According to this article, what is a particular feature of the king cobra?A. Its seasonal changes.B. Its lack of movement.C. Its sense of hearing.D. Its remarkable size.67. According to this article, which of the following is known for its speed?A. The inland taipan.B. The black mamba.C.

Equipped with the camera extender known as a selfie(自拍) stick, they can now reach for flattering CinemaScope selfies wherever they go.Art museums have watched this development nervously, fearing damage to their collections or to visitors, as users swing their sticks with abandon. Now they are taking action. One by one, museums across the United States have been imposing bans on using selfie sticks for photographs inside galleries, adding them to existing rules on umbrellas, backpacks, tripods and monopods.“From now on, you will be asked quietly to put it away,” said Sree Sreenivasan, the chief digital officer at the Met. “It’s one thing to take a picture at arm’s length, but when it is three times arm’s length, you are invading someone else’s personal space.”The personal space of other visitors is just one problem. The artwork is another. “We do not want to have to put all the art under glass,” said Deborah Ziska, the chief of public information at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, which has been quietly enforcing a ban on selfie sticks but is in the process of adding it formally to its printed guidelines for visitors.Last but not least is the threat to the camera operators, attentive to capturing the perfect shot and unconscious of the surroundings. “If people are not paying attention in the T emple of Dendur, they can end up in the water with the crocodile sculpture,” Mr. Sreenivasan said. “We have so many balconies you could fall from, and stairs you can trip on.”Generally, the taking of selfies is not merely tolerated, it is encouraged. Art museums long ago concluded that selfies help visitors bond to art and create free advertising for the museum.When Katy Perry dropped by the Art Institute of Chicago’s Magritte exhibition last summer and detoured to take a selfie in front of Grant Wood’s “American Gothic,” the museum gained a publicity boom after the image was posted on Pinterest.So, selfies good; sticks bad. But bad in theory, not fact, since many museum officials in the United States acknowledge that they have experienced few actual instances of selfie-stick use, or, in some cases, none.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWLEVE WORDS)74. How do art museums deal with the increasing use of selfie sticks?75. Besides invading other s’ personal space, what are the other two problems brought by the useof selfie sticks?76. _____________ are the reasons why some art museums encourage the taking of selfies.77. According to many museum officials in the United States, _______ have occurred in art museums.IV.

No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago,as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie,I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Althoughshoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋转) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.28.

Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.31. What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?A. Her kids love her very much.B. She enjoys staying with her kids.C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happinesswith kids.4.Chinese police are joining Italian officers on the streets of Rome and Milan in an experiment aimed at helping tourists from China feel safe, Italy’s interior ministry has announced.The experiment is the first of its kind in Europe, China’s ambassador to Italy, Li Ruiyu, said at a meeting to announce the project, according to a statement from the Italian ministry.The four Chinese officers, who were trained by Italians in Beijing, will wear the same uniforms they wear at home so their compatriots can recognize them easily.More than 3 million Chinese tourists come to Italy every year, according to Liao Jinrong, the director general of the Chinese international co-operation bureau.“This servic e was planned with Chinese tourists in mind and, if it works well, we may consider other forms of collaboration, given the presence of the Chinese community in our country,” said the interior minister, Angelino Alfano.The officers will share information with Italian police and help Chinese tourists if they need to contact local authorities and diplomats from Monday until 13 May, the ministry said.Liao, the head of the Chinese international co-operation bureau, said the officers’ assignment was a“historic moment” recalling that the route between China and Italy was mapped 700 years ago by Venetian merchant traveler Marco Polo.32.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Many people experience problems with their spine(脊椎)as they age. The tissue that protects the joints in the spine gradually breaks down. As a consequence, the bones, in the spine begin to rub against each other. This further harms that issue as well as the bones. The result is pain in the joints and, sometimes, in nerves near the spine.This painful problem is actually a disease called osteoporosis. Some people are more at risk of osteoporosis because of genes that they inherited from their ancestors. Extremely heavy people are also more likely to suffer from this disease because their extra weight puts much pressure on their joints. fortunately, there are steps that people can take to help prevent osteoporosis from developing in their spine.The most important step is exercise. Stretches can help the muscles around the spine relax and allow bones to shift into better alignment(排列), Strength exercises with light weights or body-weight exercises like push-ups can also help by strengthening the muscles around the spine. However, people should not overdo these exercises as repeated motions can strain the muscles around the spine. Trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique can have the same effect.Another important factor is diet. It affects the health of spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves: These include B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which helps keep nerves healthy. People can get more B vitamin and omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements sold by stores. Another important factor is vitamin D. which is essential for strong bones. All of these vitamins and acids can be obtained from food. Thus people can help themselves by including them in their daily diets.56. What does this article mainly explain?A.

The shared goal of GDA’s projects is to _______.A. explore new culturesB. protect the environmentC. gain corporate benefitsD. help communities in need(C)By the end of the century, if not sooner, the world’ socea us will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, reading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3Ⅱ, it foudn that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener.“Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changeing,” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while before we。

Wu was so concerned about Coco (30) ______ she gave up the competition in order to comfort her,(31) ______ lasted a long time.It seemed to be a touching scene, but according to an animal protection expert Hu Huijiang, chimps should not be out around people in crowded spaces in the first place. It makes them frightened and they are more likely (32) ______ (infect) if people are carrying viruses. Furthermore, such shows are misleading about the needs and welfare of animals. So, getting to know these animals is the first step to find proper ways to protect them.(B)Admit it or not, many of us see that higher education equals a diploma, which in turns provides us with opportunities for a better life. But is that all college means?“As tuition costs have skyroc keted, it makes sense (33) ______ people might try to get some of the benefits of college without paying,” commented the Atlantic. The full tuition at Yale for the 2014-2015 school year is $63,250. This breaks down to over $7,000 per month, while Dumas ,a 28-year-old Canadian, spent only a few hundred dollars at Yale in 2009, couch-surfing (作沙发客)for about a month and (34) ______ (take) classes.However, Ollivier Dyens, deputy provost(院长) of student life and learning at Mcgill University, points out that most people go to college mainly to get a diploma.

The learning skills yo u acquire will be something you will cherish forever”, (39) ______ (write) to his daughter by Kai-Fu Lee, one of the most successful Chinese professional managers.So (40)______ do you expect from college? A diploma, like-minded people, or simply a learning experience?Section BDirections: 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.A certain survey was conducted to ask students to name the school subject that was(41)______ as the most difficult. Not surprisingly, mathematics came out on top of the difficulty chart. So what is it about math that makes it difficult?In dictionaries the word “difficult” is (42)______ as “not easily or readily done; requiring much labor or planning to be performed successfully.” This definition gets to the point of the problem when it comes to math. What makes math difficult is that it takes patience and(43)______. For many students, math is not something that comes automatically. It takes effort. It is a subject that sometimes requires students to (44)______ lots and lots of time and energy.This means, for many, the problem has little to do with brain power; it is mostly a matter of staying power. And since students don’t make their own timelines, they can run out of the time as the teacher moves on the next topic.Scientists believe that people (45)______ different math understanding sills. Logical and left-brain thinkers tend to understand things in a different way in which intuitive and right-brainers do. They (46)______ a lot of information at one time and all ow time to let it “sink in”. So left-brain students may grasp concepts quickly while right-brain students don’t. To those right brain student, time loss can make them feel (47)______ and behind. Unfortunately in busy classrooms with too many students, students are not always blessed with enough time. We have to move on, ready or not.Math know-how is also snowballing, which means it works much like a pile of building blocks. You have to gain enough blocks in one area before you can effectively go on to “bui ld upon” another area. Our first mathematical building blocks are established in primary school, when we learn rules and (48)______ for addition and multiplication, and those first concepts become our (49)______. These mathematical concepts or knowledge has to sink in and become firm before students can move on to challenge the next stage of new concepts. However, teachers don’t have time to ensure that every single student understands every single concept. So some students move to the next level with really shaky knowledge system. As a result, as they climb the ladder, they may meet with more and more difficulties and might (50)______ painful failures at some point.III.

According to a recent statistical study in the United States, 44% of the Americans interviewed admitted some fear of flying. What is ironic is that this kind of uncontrolled fear is not only limited to those who have not yet had the experience of flying, but also known to bother people working in airlines, including stewards and stewardesses, and even business people for whom frequent air travel is a necessity.What causes aviaphobia has caused brilliant minds in the medical and psychological fields. Psychologists explain that fear of flying envelops other fears---- fear of heights, fear of closed-in places, and most importantly, the fear of dying. On top of that, there is the “vicarious factor”, which means one may have had a painful experience associated with flying that has caused the overpowering fear of air travel. What happened to John Smith, an executive with a computer company, is a case in point. In 1979, while he was on the runway at a Chicago airport, another plane blew up, killing 275 people. He witnessed the disaster with his own eyes, and since then, he has occasional nightmares about the tragedy despite more than three decades. That experience has badly influenced him so that even up to now, whenever he boards a plane, he is caught in an uncontrolled feeling of pain.Actually, about a third of aviaphobes are less afraid of dying in a crash than of losing control of themselves. They are afraid that it may be seen as a sign of weakness, and therefore may threaten their jobs and inter-personal relationships, or even cause their loss of respectability. This explains why overachievers and perfectionist feel it a need to be in control always. Once they are on board, such kind of people will be too much alert. They sometimes spend their entire trip observing the flight attendants or the details of the small world surrounding them. Thus, they become sleepless and tense during their long flights, sometimes lasting for 10 hours or even longer. Consequently, they become physically exhausted and mentally drained before their flight is over.69.
