Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living in a climate with relative humidity(潮湿), one kilogram of gel can collect up to 13 liters of water a day. As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make, it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages.Previously, researchers have harvested fresh water from fog and dew, but that only serves areas with high humidity. Other attempts at pulling water from desert air consume lots of energy and do not produce much. In fact, this gel is a big improvement from previous water harvesting technologies. The maximum water harvested has been 5.87 liters in places with relative humidity. This new gel doubles this amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be molded into a shape or size that best suits the user.“This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest, driest places on Earth,” said Guihua Yu, professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. “This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple, water generating devices(取水装置)at home that they can easily operate.”“This is not something you need an advanced degree to use,” the paper’s lead author, Youhong “Nancy” Guo said. “It’s straightforward enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials.” Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the production, making this technology a practicable solution to drought.1．What do we know about the gel film from paragraph 2?A．It can increase the humidity of the air.B．It can harvest drinking water from the air.C．It has been widely applied in desert areas.D．It costs lots of money and energy to produce.2．What is Guihua Yu’s attitude towards the new waterharvesting method?A．Indifferent.B．Skeptical.C．Disapproving.D．Hopeful.3．What does the underlined word “straightforward” in last paragraph mean?A．easy.B．straight.C．frank .D．cheap4．What will scientists plan to do next?A．Develop a thicker gel.B．Produce the gel on a large scale.C．Raise money for further research.D．Teach people to make the gel at home.BFor late 19thcentury North Americans and Europeans, a display of tableware (餐具)could reveal much about someone’s social position, as the wealthy took great care to get different kinds of forks for everything. Before the 18th century, people of all classes usually ate with a knife and a spoon.The fork’s path to the table was hardwon and slow. In ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, forks were used for slicing food into pieces or lifting meat from a pot or fire.Following a reduction in size, the fork appeared to have entered dining areas in the courts of the Middle East and Byzantine Empire by the eighth and ninth centuries, and became mon among wealthy families there by the tenth century. Early in the 11th century, it appeared in various pieces of European art. In the late 11th century, St.Peter Damian from Ostia wrote about a Byzantine princess who used forks and regarded her dying of a disease as punishment for such “luxury”.The fork’s slow conquest of Europe was carried out from Italy. Motivated by the same concerns for hygiene(卫生)，forks were bought by wealthy Britons，inspired by Queen Victoria, who regarded fork use as a sign of good manners.The fork’s introduction to North America dates back to 1633, when John Winthrop, a founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was gifted a set of forks. The Industrial Revolution strengthened the fork’s presence on dining room tables as production of flatware became less expensive. Writing in 1896 inSocial Eriquere，Maud C．Cooke declared the fork had finally conquered the knife in America and “any attempt to give the knife importance at table is looked upon as an offense(冒犯)against good taste.”5．What can we learn about forks from paragraph1?A．They were used improperly in the 18th century.B．They had many different types in the 19th century.C．They were popular in Europe before the 18th century.D．They led to North American’s rise in social position.6．What was a function of forks in ancient Egypt?A．To eat food.B．To decorate tables.C．To cut food.D．To create works of art.7．Who was against the use of forks?A．St.Peter Damian.B．Thomas Coryate.C．Queen Victoria D．Maud C．Cooke.8．What marked the beginning of the fork’s introduction to North America?A．The appearance of flatwareB．The start of the Industrial Revolution.C．John Winthrop receiving forks as presents.D．Maud C．Cooke writing Social Etiquette.CSome people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational oute for the brain. How did we miss this? Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness? Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is.Many people think happiness is genetic. That’s only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence a wildly different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage.I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on “Happiness Leads to Profits”. Based on my article called “Positive Intelligence” and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational oute: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and qualityoflife improvements.9．The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A．the fact that people are happyB．the connection between happiness and educational outeC．the fact that people often misunderstand happinessD．the fact that most people are average10．What can we learn from the passage?A．Scientists are only interested in what the average is.B．You can choose to be happy or not.C．The average are not happy at all.D．Our decisions and habits have nothing to do with happiness.11．Why does the writer mention his articles and research?A．To advertise himself.B．To arouse the readers’ interest.C．To support his point about happiness.D．To attract the readers to read his articles.12．What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?A．To describe the misunderstandings about happiness.B．To show people the importance of happiness.C．To make the point of what business and educational oute lies in.D．To make the point that happiness promotes business and educational oute.DHave you ever yelled at your puter because it wasn’t working? Your puter couldn’t “yell” back until now. AI researchers are now working on puters that can argue and perhaps even win debates with humans.IBM scientists published a paper in Nature on March 17 about their new AI system Project Debater. It can debate with people independently in front of live audiences. After listening to arguments from its opponent (对手), the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. It looks for ideas that can support its own argument.Testing on the system began in 2019 when it debated with Harish Natarajan, a professional debater who holds the world record for most debate petition victories. The debate topic was whether or not preschool should be subsidized(给. . . . . 补助), and the AI system argued in favor of this idea. Although the AI lost the debate in the end based on the audience vote, the audience said it did very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic, while only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan. Also, Project Debater has shown strength at making impressive and logical opening statements in the debate, according to Scientific American.After peting with various human debaters, the AI system’s overall performance remains inferior(逊色的), “fully capable of sounding awkward during an argument, ” noted Scientific American.In other words, the backandforth arguments in the AI system’s debates don’t sound like a real human conversation. “On stage, Project Debater is far from perfect, and its missteps (过失) reveal just how difficult and how human argumentation and debate are, ” said puter scientist Chris Reed of the University of Dundee in the UK.Humans and technology have been facing off for decades. In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue became the first puter to defeat a reigning(卫冕的)chess champion, besting titan (巨人)Garry Kasparov in a sixgame match. So after two decades, have IBM’s researchers just reproduced a “Deep Blue” to debate? It’s much more than that, the researchers noted. Argument and debate are fundamental(基本的)capabilities(能力) of human intelligence, and it’s a step outside of AI’s fort zone to enter this realm(领域), according to the article in Nature.13．How can Project Debater debate with humans?A．By learning from humans.B．By making use of its internal data.C．By listening to researchers’ instructions.D．By collecting a lot of data in a short time.14．What did the majority of the audience think about the performance of Project Debater in the testing? A．It made them more aware of the topic.B．Its statements were not logical enough.C．Its overall performance was better than Natarajan’s.D．Its opening statements were boring.15．What do paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly talk about?A．The disadvantages of Project Debater.B．Project Debater’s petitions with other human debaters.C．The application of the A system in the future.D．Challenges facing the AI system and human debaters.16．What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A．Project Debater is considered an updated version of Deep Blue.B．Humans have an advantage over AI in debating.C．AI has a long way to go before it can win against humans.D．AI technology hasn’t progressed much in the last decades.五、阅读七选五Directions: Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context.

I just observed a couple of students clearing a path out of pity for the robots,” Hecht tweeted, “This is our future, I guess.” Twitter jumped on Hecht’s post with enthusiasm: Some said they would have helped the robots. Others said, no way, no help. Some joked about turning the robots over onto their backs.It’s not easy being a delivery robot.

It is also worth noting that even if the delivery robots themselves are powered by electricity, the source of the electricity may not be environmentally friendly.

It seems, however, that these machines still have a long way to go.三、完形填空One summer afternoon, when I was about eight years of age, I was looking at a beautiful rainbow.

Suddenly I met in my way a large porcupine（豪猪）, who made himself still larger when he saw me. Fearing that he would attack me, I ran from him fast. In my ___5___ and hurry I forgot to keep my eye on the rainbow, and when, at last, I remembered and looked for it, it was nowhere in sight! It had quite ___6___ away. I burst into tears, for I had lost all my treasures.But I soon found that my ___7___ had only begun: I was lost! I could not tell which was east or west but wandered about here and there, crying and calling, though I knew that no one could ___8___ me. All at once I heard my nickname called, so I jumped up. It was my eldest brother. He hugged and kissed away all my tears, and then he told me what the rainbow really is: "It is only painted air, and does not ___9___ on the earth. But it tells us something more. When you set off on a pilgrimage, you will be ____10____ by the rainbow through all the dark places of this world to treasures in your heart, better, far better, than silver or gold."1．A．appreciation B．intention C．hesitation D．explanation2．A．eyes B．riches C．way D．mind3．A．noticed B．cleared C．passed D．reached 4．A．struggled B．imagined C．looked D．worked5．A．horror B．embarrassment C．sorrow D．disappointment 6．A．flown B．moved C．broken D．faded7．A．failure B．doubts C．anger D．troubles8．A．attack B．understand C．forgive D．hear9．A．jump B．rest C．drop D．lie10．A．cheated B．moved C．led D．caught四、阅读理解AMany Chinese people used to greet each other with “Have you had your meal?” to show their friendliness. Recently, a new greeting has appeared in many Chinese cities, namely “Have you lost weight?”In recent years, food-delivery services have been growing and Chinese people can easily get access to foods from all over the world. But people are paying more and more attention to their health. On food-delivery platforms, meal replacement and food labeled with “low calories” and “light food” are becoming popular. More people are becoming familiar with various terms, such as “zero sugar” and “low-calorie Fast Diet plan.”“I used to eat a lot of unhealthy food, which brought me much trouble,” Chen Xin, a programmer in Hangzhou said. “Following instructions from my nutritionist, I can feel that my body is in good condition again.”As the quality of life for most has greatly improved over the past decades, most people no longer need to worry about whether they have enough food, but rather whether they have a healthy diet. According to statistics from global market research firm Euromonitor International, the global meal replacement market reached $66.16 billion in 2017, of which the Chinese market contributed about $8.45 billion. The number is expected to double in 2022.Despite healthier diets, many people believe, to lose weight, exercise is also of vital importance. Besides training in the gym, many people choose to take fitness equipment home. Over the past two years, the online consumption of fitness equipment has increased greatly, particularly among women who attachgreat importance to body management. Many people even like to run marathons. In China’s major cities, holding marathons has become a fashion. 1,828 marathons were held nationwide in 2019, with 7.12 million participants.According to Wang Hufeng, a professor at the Renmin University of China, health is a major issue of concern for the Chinese people and health is becoming a huge industry. “Health is an important indicator of a state’s soft power, and the improvement of overall health conditions can have a positive impact on economic development,” Wang said.1．What can we know about the change of people’s greeting?A．People become friendlier to others.B．People care less about their meals.C．People show greater concern on health.D．People prefer a more direct manner.2．The statistics in paragraph 4 indicate that .A．China has greater buying power in foodB．food trading in China is expected to grow in 2022C．Chinese people are more willing to spend on foodD．Chinese people are changing their food choice greatly3．What can we infer from Professor Wang?A．Health plays an important role in society.B．Food safety should be stressed in the future.C．China’s economy depends on health industry.D．Government should develop health care industry.4．What is the text mainly about?A．A food market study.B．A trend in lifestyle.C．Enthusiasm about exercise.D．Benefits of healthy diet.BTechnology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use? It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always suitable in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of mobile phones, iPods and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces havesigns hanging on their walls warning employees that “Mobile phone use is not permitted.”Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others.However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.Is there a cure for electronic addiction? Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.5．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A．Addiction to smart phones.B．The popularity of smart phones.C．Bad behaviors in public places.D．Changes brought by technology.6．What does the underlined phrase “at their wits’ end” in paragraph I probably mean?A．At a disadvantage.B．At a loss.C．Out of the way.D．Out of control.7．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The benefits of smart phones.B．The future trend of smart phones.C．Reasons for technology addiction.D．The negative impacts of smart phone addiction. 8．What advice does the author give in the text?A．Focus on other activities.B．Stay away from smart phones.C．Develop and improve self-control.D．Change the habits of smart phone use.CWhen no one else was able to save a drowning (溺水的) 34-year-old man, a boy weighing only 80 pounds quickly became his hero.11-year-old Adam was hanging out at the pool of his apartment building with his family when the man sank (下沉) to the bottom of the deep end, his arms spread out and his eyes wide from eight feet down in the water.Surprisingly, Adam was the only one at the pool who could swim at the time. Before his family had moved to St. Paul, Minnesota three years ago, his parents had never had the ability to take swimming lessons. Luckily, they believed that Adam should have a few swimming lessons. “Some survival skills are a must,” his father said.When trouble struck in the pool, however, Adam’s father had tried to help the man from a swim ring, but he couldn’t reach the man’s hand. Then, Adam jumped into the pool.Despite the man weighing almost 100 pounds heavier than the boy, Adam successfully managed to pull the man up to the surface and get him out of the pool. Though Adam’s uncle had never received CPR training, he started CPR on the man based on what he had seen in movies and television.A few minutes later, the man started to move his hands.

While we're not quite ready to put a person on land, the question we ask today is: why are so many countries interested in going to Mars?The space race saw the USA and USSR___2___ to achieve firsts in spaceflight. The Soviet Union released Sputnik 1, an artificial satellite, before anyone else, and the US landed on the Moon first. Now it appears that Mars is the celestial body of desire. While the honour of being the first nation to touchdown is an obvious ___3___ , there are other reasons we want to get there.One of these could be the ___4___ of our species. You only have to look at the fossilised remains of the dinosaurs to see the benefit of finding another ___5___ planet. While Mars doesn't have the right conditions to call it home just yet, there's always the idea of terraforming-- changing the environment of a planet to ___6___ our needs to live.However, not everyone agrees. Leading astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has said the ___7___of altering habitability of another planet because of the damage we have done to Earth is not ___8___ when we can simply terraform Earth.It seems he main reason at the moment is the search for signs of life. It has long been believed that, at one time, Mars was abundant with life. Now seemingly dead, the ___9___ fossils could answer questionsabout our own evolution and that of our planet. One theory is that bacterial life on our planet didn't start here, but was transferred via asteroid (小行星) from Mars.One benefit ___10___ by scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson is that landing on Mars may inspire more people to become interested in science and astronomy. Surely inspiring a new generation to visit the stars is reason enough.三、完形填空It’s strange, but I don’t really remember about the hurricane itself.

People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake.Tea remained scarce(稀少的) and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it directly from China early in the 17th century.During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.Tea had been drunk without milk in it at first, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added.She found it so pleasant that she would never drink it without milk again.She was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did.Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening.No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess(公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o'clock stopped her getting“a sinking feeling”as she called it.She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so，teatime was born.1．What can we learn about the Britons from the text?A．They got expensive tea from India.B．They bought tea out of curiosity at first.C．They had tea until the early 17th century.D．They were the first to drink tea in Europe. 2．When did tea become a popular drink in Britain?A．In the 17th century.B．In the early 18th century.C．In the late 18th century.D．In the 19th century.3．The underlined words“this habit”in Paragraph 3 refer to drinking tea________.A．after dinner B．in the afternoonC．with milk in it D．without milk in it4．What is the last paragraph mainly about?A．The history of tea.B．The birth of teatime.C．The ways of making tea.D．The habit of drinking tea.BAustralia was always a country I wanted to visit, so I saved up some money and booked a flight to go traveling up the east coast of Australia at the end of my work in London.The flight made me realize exactly how far away Australia is from home. I spent 10 hours traveling on a plane from London to Hong Kong, then a further 8 hours to Sydney, my first stop in Australia. The flight went quite quickly though, since there were lots of films to watch to keep me amused. It was strange when I arrived because everything was upside down over there; it was the start of winter (in May)! It also took me a while to get used to the time difference as I was always one day ahead of all my friends and family back home.The country is truly beautiful, full of amazing views and wildlife you wouldn’t find anywhere else in the world. One of my experiences of my trip was seeing koalas closely in Brisbane—there were koalas everywhere sleeping in the trees and I even got the chance to hold one. There was also big grassland full of kangaroos that we were allowed to feed.They were really smart and very friendly.The highlight of my trip was snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, as the water was amazingly clear with a beautiful shade of blue. I also got the chance to see some special creatures underwater, such as sea turtles and even a shark. Australia is an amazing country and worth visiting one day if you ever get the chance.5．What did the author think of the journey on the plane?A．Time-wasting.B．Disappointing.C．Dangerous.D．Pleasant.6．How did the author feel when he reached Sydney?A．Tired.B．Excited.C．Unfamiliar.D．Upset.7．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Unique wild animals living in Australia.B．Beautiful natural landscape in Brisbane. C．Wonderful experiences with wild animals.D．Exciting sports during the trip in Australia. 8．What does the underlined word “snorkeling” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Fishing on the sea.B．Swimming underwater.C．Watching animal shows.D．Feeding turtles and sharks.CImagine this: You’re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks. You have a choice of a small, medium or large soda. The small is $3.50 and the large is $5.50. It’s a tough decision: The small size may not last you through the whole movie, but $5.50 for some sugary drink seems ridiculous. But there’s a thirdoption, a medium soda for $5.25. The medium might be just right for you, but the large only cost a quarter more. If you’re like the majority of people, you end up buying the large.If you’re wondering who would purchase the medium soda, the answer is almost no one. Actually, there’s a good chance that the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy(诱饵), making you more likely to buy the soda rather than the small.I have written about this unique human nature previously with my friend Dan Ariely, who, after noticing pricing for subscription(订阅) to The Economist, studied this phenomenon extensively. The digital subscription was $59, the print subscription was $125, and the print plus digital subscription was also $125. No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price, so why was it even an option? Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two“real”choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. However, the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.Brain scientists call this effect“asymmetric dominance” and it means that people are attracted to the option that is closest to an obviously inferior(较差的) option. Marketing professors call it the decoy effect, which is certainly easier to remember. It works because of the way our brain assign value when making choices. Value is rarely absolute; rather, we decide an object’s value relative to other choices. If more options are introduced, the value equation(方程) changes.9．What’s the function of the example in paragraph 1?A．To offer background information.B．To explain an economical phenomenon.C．To arouse the readers’ interest in the topic.D．To illustrate a rule when buying drinks.10．What do we learn from Dan Ariely’s experiment?A．The Economist’s print edition turns out to sell the best.B．More readers choose the digital over the print edition.C．Lower-priced goods attract more customers.D．The Economist’s promotional strategy works.11．From which website would you most probably find this text?12．How do we assess the value of a product, according to the passage?A．by considering its usefulness.B．Comparing it with other choices.C．By examining its value equation.D．By taking its low quality into account.四、阅读七选五How to Improve Speed Reading SkillsSpeed reading is one of many skills that can improve your reading comprehension and shorten your study time. ____1____Look at groups of words, not single words.____2____, then this will slow your reading speed down. However, if you can get into the habit of reading groups or chunks (大量) of words at onetime, then you can read much faster. Start by trying to look at a group of three or four words at once, then work up to looking at an entire line of works. Focus on words that give the sentence meaning, such as the nouns and verbs and pay less attention to the filler words, such as a, the, and, etc.____3____Scanning is a highly effective way of extracting answers from a text without really reading it. If you know exactly what you are looking for—a name, a date, a statistic, or a specific word—you can find it quickly by skipping over large chunks of the text. To scan, first visualize the word, number, or phrase you would like to find. ____4____The information you are looking for should pop out at you.Race the clock.You can train yourself to read faster by timing yourself as you go. Start by getting your base time. Set a timer (定时器) for fifteen minutes, and speed read as you normally do. ____5____, check to see how far you have got. Do not count the words, just the pages or paragraphs. Record your figures: for instance, you might write “15 min/6.5 pages.”。

We can hear the songs of birds and the laughter of people. We can listen to cool music and news reports. And it’s all because of our ears! They bring us a world of sounds.But some people can’t hear any sound at all. Some are born ①deaf. Others can hear well in theirchildhood, but too many loud sounds hurt their ears later on.Many people in China can’t hear ordinary sounds clearly. A large number of them are children. Most of them are born with good hearing. But 6 children out of every 1,000 have hearing problems when they are born. And if a child has hearing problems, usually he or she will also have learning problems at school.A lot of things can cause hearing problems. For example, too much earwax (耳垢) is not good for our hearing. And noise louder than 85 decibels (分贝) can hurt our ears and make us lose our hearing for a short time or even forever.Hearing is important for all of us. ①So we should do our best to give our ears special care.Don’t forget to do the following:● Try to stay away from places with too much noise.
