Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)A[2020·四川高考]In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous (土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony (殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory P1，they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored W1or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the efforts of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2020 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off P2for almost ten years，” says Gin. “I've been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access W2to their living environment. I don't see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the unci v ilized W3life，”continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”His black－and－white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self－supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal W4and even suicide W5.篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文，题材为社会生活类。

AAn online post listing office people’s four most -hated modern inventions is gaining popularity. Read on to discover what modern professionals dislike.Number one: The punch machine(打卡机).32-year-old Mr.Zhang works for an IT company. He lists the punch machine as his numberone workday enemy after a number of unavoidable incidents made him late to punch in for work. Zhang says most of his colleagues are hard-working people, but they feel like the boss doesn’t trust them when he uses a machine to evaluate their performance. Zhang plans to find another job at a company that does not use a punch machine.Number two: Instant noodles.More and more people today realize that instant noodles do not make a healthy meal, but lack of time forces many white-collar workers to eat them instead of a regular dinner. 27-year-old Mr. Zhu is a salesperson who is so busy at work that he doesn’t even have time to wash his socks. He regularly eats fast food takeaways(外卖) or instant noodles for dinner. Number three: Mattresses(床垫).Some elder employees tell newcomers that having a mattress at work is just like having a home at the company. To encourage their employees to work overtime, a number of companies have issued their employees with mattresses so that they can take a rest under their desks at any time of a day. People have started refusing the mattress and taking better care of their health after the media reported on a number of people who died due to overwork last year.And last, but not least, the mobile phone.A surgeon from a Beijing hospital says more and more white-collar workers are turning up with a strange disease which they call “mobile phone elbow”. The patients’ elbows ar e painful, and sometimes they can’t even raise their hands. The doctor says the disease occurs when patients spend more than 4 hours on their mobiles.21. Why do some employees want to find a job in a company without punch machines? A. They often meet with unavoidable incidents on their way to work. B. They feel less trusted when evaluated with the punch machine. C. It is unnecessary for them to punch in for work every day. D. They can work less hard in companies without punch machines. 22. White-collar workers have to eat instant noodles because they.A. c an’t make a healthy mealB. can’t afford a regular dinnerC. d on’t have time to wash their socksD. are always so busy at work23. In the eyes of the boss, the mattresses can. A. make employees work more time B. make the newcomers love the company C. make employees have a good rest at any time D. take care of the employees’ health 24. What is the best title for this passage? A. Most-hated Modern InventionsB. Modern Inventions Are Gaining Popularity OnlineC. Modern Inventions Bring Us InconvenienceD. Modern Inventions and OverworkBResearchers at Stanford University have developed a new material that can move heat out of buildings and into space. The researchers say the material can cool buildings even此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号 考场号 座位号on hot days. The cooling material is a very thin sheet with many layers that could be placed on a roof like solar panels(板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into infrared(红外线的) radiation.Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a layer of material that is like sand. The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect the light from the sun. And he says both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space. “It’s a structure that cools itself without electricity input, even under the sun. So, what it does is basically radiate heat to outer space and also reflect the sunlight so it doesn’t get heated up by the sun. Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent directly into space without increasing the air temperatureHe says buildings in developing countries that do not have electricity or air conditioning could use the panels. “In areas where electricity is out of reach for many people, there is a potential benefit for storing medicine or even food. In many of these situations, being able to reduce the temperature is important. And this would provide a way to do it.”The researchers say the main problem is creating actual cooling systems using the high-tech panels. They say it may be possible to develop a cooling spray(喷涂）that could be used on present solid structures. They believe the cooling spray technology could be developed in the next three to five years. They say as much as 15 percent of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems.25. What is the main idea of paragraph 1?A. Living on hot days is no longer a big problem now.B. Researchers are developing new solar panels on roofs.C. A new material is created to cool the buildings.D. The new material is a very thin sheet with many layers.26. According to paragraph2, how does the panel work?A. It takes in the heat and cools it down.B. It uses a mirror to reflect the sunlight.C. It has a window to let out the heat.D. It sends heat away right into space.27. Which of the following can best describe the advantage of the new panel?A. Convenient but impractical.B. Eco-friendly and energy-saving.C. Effective but expensive.D. Creative and cheap.28. What can you infer from the passage?A. The device of the new panel is still under research.B. Some people got benefits from producing the panels.C. It is impossible to solve the problem of creating actual cooling system.D. The new panels may save 15 percent of the energy.CAccording to many recent surveys, there are fewer and fewer students reading newspapers from middle school to college, which worries both parents and teachers a lot. In my opinion, several reasons result in this phenomenon.The most significant reason is that the rise of many other information Media, for example, internet, mobile phone, TV and so on. In the past we only could read newspapers to know what happened around us, while now we only need to turn on the TV, or open our computers, which is more convenient. In addition, computer and other media provide us with more newly news and more specific details, which we can get easily and without payment. There is also an advantage that the new media have while newspapers don’t—a large mount of pictures, which make the information or news more lively. Therefore, more and more students tend to surf the internet or watch TV instead of reading newspapers.Another reason that few students read newspapers is that they have little time to do such things. We all know that nowadays students, especially middle school and high school students are buried in the books almost every day to get good grades. Even in weekends, they are sent to heterogeneous cram school by their parents to become superior in school. Thus there is little free time for them to do other things, not to mention reading newspapers.The student’ indifference to the current affairs also enables few newspaper readers. The 90s, most of today’s students, always pay more attention to fashion and only care for themselves. Lacking a sense of collectivism and nationalism, the majority of the 90s have little interest in current affairs, which are the basic content of most newspapers, so that there are fewer and fewer students reading newspapers.Different outside and inside reasons have contributed to the few newspaper readers among students. Therefore, teachers should encourage their students to form the habit of reading newspapers regularly and free the students from their heavy study burden so that they canafford to broaden their horizon through newspapers, which is beneficial for their future development.29. According to Paragraph 2, few students read newspapers because .A. reading newspapers isn’t good for them to get good gradesB. they are more interested in fashion than current affairsC. it’s cheaper and easier to get information from the Internet or TVD. they can only know what is happening via the Internet or on TV30. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. it’s better for students to gain information via the Internet than other mediaB. high school students are too busy with their study nowC. more and more students are addicted to the Internet nowD. more students will fall in love with newspapers31. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the passage?A. There are many advantages of reading newspapers.B. There are reasons why few students read newspapers.C. The advantages of surfing the Internet are obvious.D. It’s very important to read newspapers.DThe traditional news media in America has been having a rough time in the last few years. According to a recent survey, more Americans have a negative(43%) than a positive(33%) view of the news media, and are finding it harder to be well informed because it is getting harder to determine which news is accurate.The problem is preference. While ideally the media should be objective and hold power to account, in reality we know that most news outlets belong to a certain party and have their own agenda to advance. Whether state-owned or run by some shady tax-avoiding billionaire, getting “the masses” to view the world from a certain perspective has always been a priceless power to wield.So why is trust in the media so low? Well, according to the same survey, 8 out of 10 Americans believe that the news media are critical to their democracy. The gap between these noble expectations of an honest, objective media and the performance that they actually deliver is large. Times when the mask slips and examples of media manipulation(操纵)are exposed are hugely damaging to trust, and people naturally turn to social media for others, even-easier-to-manipulate sources. Thus we are in the current state in which we find ourselves:confused and mistrustful.People have been posting examples of how media can use different techniques of deception, to trick you into seeing exactly what they wanted you to see. As you will discover, perspective really is everything! It will goes to show that a healthy dose of skepticism goes a long way, and getting your news from a wide range of different sources is your best bet to a more rounded view of the world we live in. Social media is good in that respect, but bad in terms of regulation, trolling and people shouting horrible things at each other. The good old traditional news media really is needed as a forum for reasonable debate and expert opinion, but they gotta stop with the manipulation already!32. What does paragraph 2 want to convey?A. People have prejudice for media.B. The media can take control of the party.C. The media have acted as a tool to mask the truth.D. The media have a priceless power.33. What’s your understanding of the sentence “As you will discover, perspective really is everything!”?A. People should not have faith in what the media says because some news are not true.B. People should not be too curious about things aroundC. People should refer to social media rather than traditional media if wanting to know the truth of news.D. The spirit of suspect and diverse sources are good ways to help people recognize the truth of the world.34. What’ s the structure of the passage?A. ①→②③→④B. ①→②③④C. ①②③→④D. ①②→③→④35. What’ the best title for the passage?A. Where’s trust in the mediaB. Why people’s trust in the media fallsC. How people treat trust in the mediaD. What’ s trust in the media第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch afish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I und erstood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them..When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.21. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.22. What did the author’s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.23. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found __________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.24. After entering the business world, the author found __________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people25. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyBDaniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blam e TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch l ess TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.26. By watching TV, children learn __________.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology27. An educational program is best watched by a child __________.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers28. Which of the following is most related to children’s readin g ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents’ reading listD. Parents’ educational background29. Anderson believed that __________.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school30. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on c hildren.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.四.单句填空（每空5分，共30分）31. There are many differences in table _________(manner)in different cultures.32.

AI had offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter, Ramanda, so that my wife could go out with a friend. I was getting some work while Ramanda appeared to be having a good time in the other room. No problem, I figured. But then it got a little too quiet and I yelled out, “What are you doing? Ramanda” No response. I repeated my question and heard her say, “Oh, nothing?” Nothing? What does “nothing” mean?I got up from my desk and ran out into the living room, and then I saw her take off down the hall. I chased her up the stairs and watched her a little behind made a hard left into the bedroom. I was gaining on her! She took off for the bathroom. Bad move. I had her cornered. I told her to turn around. She refused. I pulled out my big, mean, authoritative(命令式的)Daddy voice, “Young lady, I said turn around!”Slowly, she turned toward me. In her hand was what was left of my wife’s new lipstick. And every square inch of her face was covered with right red (expect her lips of course)!As she looked up at me with fearful eyes, lips trembling, I heard every voice that had been shouted to me as a child. “How could you… you should know better than that… How many times have you been told…What a bad thing to do…”It was just a matter of my picking out which old message I was going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been. But before I could let loose, looked down at the sweatshirt my wife had put on her only an hour before. In big letters it said “I’M A PERFECT ANGEL!” I looked back up into her tearful eyes and instead to seeing a bad girl who didn’t listen, I saw a child of God …a perfect little angel full of worth, value and a wonderful spontaneity(自发行为)that I had come dangerously close t shaming out of her.“Sweetheart, you look beautiful! Let’s take a picture so Mommy can see how special you look.” I took the picture and thanked God that I didn’t miss the opportunity to reaffirm(再肯定)what a perfect little angel he had given me.21. When the author found the house was abnormally quite, ______.A. he went on with his workB. he went to check on his daughterC. he called his daughter to come overD. he knew his daughter must be behaving well22. When he saw his daughter’s face, the author _______.A. thought she was so beautiful and lovely a girlB. no longer saw her as an angelC. flew into an uncomfortable disappointmentD. remembered the words he was scolded with23.

And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. ... You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed (赐予)with and go.●J.K. Rowling, Harvard UniversityHalf my lifetime ago ,I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents whowere not rich...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty(贫穷), but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.●Steve Jobs, Stanford UniversitySometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.●Bill Gates, Harvard UniversityWe need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities ,smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequities（不公平）like hunger, poverty, and so on.24.

People of Generation Z have grown up with the internet. Policy makers, sociologists, as well as employers and marketers, are trying their best to understand these young people. So, how should we pin down the Gen Z-ers?Most people will agree that the single biggest difference between Gen Z and other generations is how connected they are. This is a group of people who were hooked up to social media as soon as they were born. A recent Guardian article says that the average teenager in the UK has at least 150 followers on Instagram and spends around half an hour a day on Snapchat, an image messaging app. “We are the first true digital natives,” Hannah Payne, an 18-year-old UCLA student and lifestyle blogger. “I can almost create a document, edit it, post a photo on Instagram and talk on the phone at the same time, all from theuser-friendly interface(界面) of my iPhone.The Guardian also notes that young people in the UK are becoming more active in politics. Voting is just one way of making one’s voice heard. Most of Generation Z are stil l too young to vote, says the Guardian. Instead of party politics, they focus more on single-topic issues such as feminism(男女平等)or climate change. And “much of the civil engagement and organizing they do takes place on social media rather than through traditional political structures,” according to the newspaper.28. The underlined phrase “pin down” in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______.A. set an example toB. have an interest inC. give an explanation forD. make a decision on29. The biggest difference between Generation Z and other generations lies in _________.A. how linked they areB. how enthusiastic they areC. how they communicate with each otherD. how many hours they spend on the Internet30.

They are applications applauded by teenagers31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Generation Z have great interest in politicsB. Most Gen Z-ers haven’t entered the political fieldC. Voting is the only way of making yourself noticedD. Voting on social media is the same as voting through traditional waysDThere are plenty of beauty schools throughout the country that can help you to start a career in cosmetology(美容业). Nowadays, young people may not be able to afford a four-year college. Students can look forward to attending a beauty school program which will only take a few months to complete and start their career right away to earn money.There can be many benefits of going to beauty school. The expense is much less than attending a four-year university. Besides, attending beauty school is mostly a hands-on(动手的) experience which appeals to many people. Some students don’t like sitting all day listening to lectures and then having to study at night. What’s more, most beauty school programs keep up with the changing trends and fashion. So you will always be working on different hair types which can be fun and will give you a lot of experience throughout the years of your career.If you are worried about finding a job after graduation, many beauty schools will offer assistance for immediate job placement and give you peace of mind that you will not be stranded looking for a job. Most colleges and universities are not equipped to do that because of the large number of graduates each year.Cosmetologists will also make a good salary. The average salary will depend on your location, but you may earn a salary around $3,000--$3,500 a month. This is not including tips which could be $600 or more a month. Not only can young people go to cosmetology school, but people of all ages can start this career. As you can see, there are many benefits of beauty schools thatcan be the perfect opportunity for anyone to become a great cosmetologist.32. Some students prefer not to go to college probably because .A. they are interested in beauty schoolB. they don’t have enough moneyC. they are not young any longerD. they are too busy doing something useful33. How many advantages does the second paragraph introduce to us?A. FiveB. TwoC. ThreeD. Six34. We can learn from the third paragraph that .A. beauty school can help find a jobB. many people don’t go to universityC. lots of students compete for beauty schoolsD. going to college costs a large amount of money35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. The types of school for childrenB. The benefits of beauty schoolsC. The advantages of going to collegeD.

AUrban Transportation in CanadaPublic transportation&Transit passesAll cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation(bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period(one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilitiesPublic transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options. Etiquette on public transportationWhen taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:◆Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.◆If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.◆Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.◆Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it. 21. What is the advantages of using transit passes over buying tickets? A. Lower costs.B. Safer trips.C. Longer service hours.D. More use of transport.22. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities? A. By offering fewer transportation options. B. By running special transport services. C. By limiting their mobility on city buses. D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.23. What is considered impolite on public transportation? A. Lowering your speaking voice. B. Placing backpacks at your feet. C. Having your proof of payment at hand.D. Staying close to other passengers. BIt was a cold winter. The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding. When morning came, my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows. As we looked out of the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone. Our three hens had been blown away by the cold wind.I looked at the emptiness outside. Then I saw all three chickens sitting around the edge o f a white bucket. I couldn ’t believe my eyes! How was this violent wind not blowing them into the field beyond? I quickly pulled on long snow pants and heavy winter coat, wrapped a scarf around my neck and stuck my feet into large boots.I shouted at the wind as it blew. I was alone, struggling in the snow. They stared out the window into the vast white sea of snow, peering at any sign of movement. Outside I heard the sound of my boots此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号as I walked against the wind.As the snow circled around me, I steadily made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket, heads bent forward and away from the wind. I gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside. Then I began the freezing walk back to the small shed directly behind our house. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor, and they began to cluck softly.As I shut the shed doors, my eyes went directly to the window where my child ren were watching. They jumped up and down cheering, and so did I! I wasn’t some dragon slayer(屠龙者) from a fairy tale. I was simply a mom, but the look on my children’s faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom.24. Seeing all three chickens sitting around the bucket, the author felt ?A. worried.B. incredible.C. shy.D. confident.25. From the story, we know that .A. the author’s children liked dragon slayers.B. the author enjoyed herself in the snow.C. the author struggled to be a hero.D. the children watched their mother all the way.26. How does the author reach the hens?A. By following the sound of the hens.B. By wearing protective clothes.C. By searching for the white bucket.D. By shouting at the henhouse.27. What might be the best title for the text?A. Weather in extreme.B. Hens in trouble.C. Kindness in need.D. Hero in the snow.CCHICAGO(Reuters)—Smoking not only can wrinkle(皱纹)the face and turn it yellow—it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body-even skin protected from the sun.“We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs, of cigarette smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced.” Dr. Yolanda, who led the study, said in a statement.“In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years.” Yolanda’s team added in their report.The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged, in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers. In dependent judges decided how wrinkled each person’s skin was.When skin is exposed to sunlight, especially the face, it becomes coarse(粗糙的). Wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Yolanda’s team wrote.Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking led to premature(过早的) skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.The report did not discuss die mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels(血管) beneath the skin to constrict(紧缩), reducing blood supply to the skin.Smoking can also damage the connective tissue(组织) that supports both die skin and the internal organs.28. It can be inferred from the study .A. smoking won’t affect skin protected from the sunB. smoking will do damage to skin rather than other organsC. smokers over 65 usually won’t worry about their skinD. the age of smokers is not connected, with the result of the test29. When your skin is exposed to sunlight long, it becomes all of the following but .A. flexibleB. coarseC. roughD. discolored30. According to the passage, how wrinkled a person’s skin is doesn’t relate to .A. the number of cigarettes a person smokesB. the kind and characteristics of skinC. how long a person smokesD. how long skin is under sunlight31. The main purpose of the passage is to .A. inform people about the study of skinB. advise people how to protect skinC. warn people not to smoke againD. introduce a new way of avoid skin agingDUntil recently, voice cloning—or voice banking, as it was then known—was a customized industry which served those at risk of losing the power of speech to cancer or surgery. Synthesizing(合成) a voice was a long and expensive process. It meant recording many phrases, each spoken many times, with different the history of the KidPass blog emotional emphases(重音) and in different contexts(statement, question, command and so forth), in order to cover all possible pronunciations. A voice-banking company often charges a lot and requires a speaker to spend days in a sound studio.Not any more. Software exists that can store pieces of recorded speech which is merely five milliseconds long, each marked with a precise pitch(音高). These can be put together to make new words, and adjusted individually so that they fit harmoniously into their new sonic homes. This is much cheaper than conventional voice banking, and permits novel uses to be developed.This year Vivo Text plans to release an app that lets users select the emphasis, speed and level of happiness or sadness with which individual words and phrases are produced. Mr. Silbert refers to the emotive quality of the human voice as “the ultimate instrument”. Yet this power also troubles him. Vivo Text licenses its software to Hasbro, an American toymaker keen to sell increasingly interactive playthings. Hasbro is aware, Mr. Silbert notes, that without safeguards a naughty child might, for example, type impolite words on his mother’s smartphone in order to see a younger sibling burst into tears on hearing them spoken by a toy using mum’s voice.More troubling, when tested against voice-biometrics software like that used by many banks to block unauthorized access to accounts, more than 80% of the fake voices tricked the computer. Alan Black, one of Festvox’s developers, thinks systems that rely on voice-ID software are now “deeply, fundamentally insecure”.Dr. Saxena and his colleagues asked volunteers if a voice sample belonged to a person whose real speech they had just listened to for about 90 seconds. The volunteers recognized cloned speech as such only half the time(ie, no better than chance). The outcome, according to George Papcun, an expert witness paid to detect fake recordings produced as evidence in court, is the appearance of a technology with “enormous potential value for disinformation”.As might be expected, countermeasures to recognize such deception(欺骗) are being developed.Nuance Communications, a maker of voice-activated software, is working on algorithms(算法) that detect tiny skips in frequency at the points where slices of speech are stuck together. Adobe, best known as the marker of Photoshop, an image-editing software suite, says that it may add digital watermarks to speech synthesized by a voice-cloning software called VoCo it is developing. Such technology may help computers recognize suspicious speech. Even so, it is easy to imagine the chaos that might be created in a world which makes it easy to put authentic-sounding words into the mouths of opponents—be they colleagues or heads of state.32. Paragraphs 1 and 2 are mainly about .A. significant elements influencing voice cloningB. possible applications of voice cloning in realityC. complexities of creating a synthetic copy of a voiceD. differences between traditional and existing voice banking33. What’s Hasbro’s attitude towards Vivo Test’s new app?A. Optimistic.B. Conservative.C. Unconcerned.D. Subjective.34. The experiment carried out by Dr. Saxena and his colleagues shows that volunteers .A. identified cloned speech in about 45 secondsB. preferred a real speech to a voice sampleC. proved only a little harder to fool than softwareD. found it hard to use the software to record their voices35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Investments should be increased to advance voice cloning.B. Long-term measures should be taken to popularize the idea of voice cloning.C. Disagreements among firms about the way to treat voice cloning are getting serious.D. Problems of voice cloning are unavoidable despite the efforts that have been made.第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
