第一部分选择题第一部分：阅读判断（第1~10题，每题1分，共10分）Why Dog Bury Their Favorite BonesHave you ever watched your dog bury（埋）his favorite bone but dig it up only a day or later？There is actually a reason behind this-it's simply in their nature.For thousands of years，dogs have buried their bones.When dogs lived in the wild，sometimes there was not enough food，it was hard for them to find food.If they were able to find meat and bones，dogs had to protect them.In order to keep other dogs and animals from finding their meat，dogs would bury it in the ground.Even though most dogs have lots of food to eat today，theirinstincts（本能）still tell them to bury their bones.Some dogs even hide（藏）more than one bone at a time.A dog cannot bury a bone just anywhere.He must first find the perfect place.Often it's near a tree or a large rock.Once the dog finds the perfect place，he uses his front feet to dig the hole，drops the bone and covers up the hole to protect it.Dogs don't always remember where a bone is buried，but they have a wonderful sense of smell.A dog can smell a bone even if it has been buried for years.Most of the time，dogs find bones they have buried by themselves，but they can also find bones buried by other dogs.1.【题干】Dogs bury their favorite bones or chew toys by nature.【选项】A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】A2.【题干】Dogs started to bury their bones when they become pets. 【选项】A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】A3.【题干】Dogs in the wild occasionally had enough food.【选项】A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】B4.【题干】Dogs would bury they extra food for their"babies".【选项】A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】C5.【题干】Animals would start a fierce fight over food in ancient time.【选项】A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】C6.【题干】Some dogs tend to store up more than one bone at the same time. 【选项】A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】A7.【题干】The backyard of a dog owner may be full of holes dug by his dog..A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】A8.【题干】Dogs often bury their bones far from trees.【选项】A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】B9.【题干】Dogs use their paws to find spots for burying bones.【选项】A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】A10.【题干】Dogs bury more bones than chew toys.【选项】A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【乐昇学教育建议答案】C第二部分：阅读选择（第11~15题，每题2分，共10分）材料暂缺11.【题干】A recent survey finds that 25%of Internet users use public WIFI to 【选项】A.do bankingB.C.D.【答案】A12【题干】The phrase take advantage of can best to be replaced by美好明天课堂【选项】A.B.benefit fromC.D.【答案】B13【题干】According to Shadel，any hacker canA.B.C.steal people's informationD.【答案】C14【题干】For safety，Internet users are advised to 【选项】A.B.C.D.【选项】A.审审审B.***CD.avoid shared Internet access乐昇学教育建议答案：D15 Shadel uses public WIFI to【选项】A.***B.deal with his emailsC.D.***乐昇学教育建议答案B第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子（第16~25题，每题1分，共10分）Paragraph①【选项】A.I do some morning exercise.B.I phone my parents or sisters.C.I prepare kids for schoolD.I communicate with others online.E.F.I visit websites to get information16.FI visit websites to get information17.D.I communicate with others online.18.AI do some morning exercise.19.C.I prepare kids for school.20.B.I phone my parents or sisters.

Many people think that they need to be brilliant to presentwell. They think they need to be smart, witty, and charming (charm) before they start to write a speech. Those qualities can come naturally (natural).but most often, they come as the result of the passion and knowledge ofthe speaker (speak). One of the vital factors in having an effective (effect) presentation is serving the needs of your audience. Caring for your audience's needs requires (require) no perfection. You can make mistakes (mistake) and it's going to be OK. The equipment (equip)can fail and it's still going to be OK. You don't have to use humor to bea winner (win) with that in mind, the real point is more like being successfulat reaching (reach) your audience.第七部分：短文写作（第51题，30分）51假设你找到了一份很满意的工作。

new bookCogs and Monsters:What Economics Is,and What It Should Be,Diane Coyle,an economist at CambridgeUnivcrsity,argues that the digital economy requires new ways of thinking about progress."Whatever wemean by the economy growing,by things getting better,the gains will have to be more evenly shared than inthe recentpast,"she writes."An economy of tech millionaires or billionaires and gig workers,withmiddle-income jobs undercut by automation,will not be politically sustainable."Improving living standards and increasing prosperity for more people will require greater use of digitaltechnologies to boost productivity in various sectors,including health care and construction,saysCoyle.Butpeople cant be expected to embrace the changes if theyre not seeing the benefits—if theyre just seeinggood jobs being destroyed.In a recent interview with MIT Technology Review,Coyle said she fears that techs inequality problemcould be a roadblock to deploying AI."Were talking about disruption,"she says."These are transformative technologies that change the ways we spend our time every day,that change business models that succeed.”To make such tremendous changes,"she adds,you need social buy-in.Instead,says Coyle,resentment is simmering among many as the benefits are perceived to go to elites ina handful of prosperous cities.According to the Brookings Institution,a short list of eight American cities that included San Francisco,San Jose,Boston,and Seattle had roughly 38%of all tech jobs by 2019.New AI technologies areparticularly concentrated:Brookingss Mark Muro and Sifan Liu estimate that just 15 cities account fortwo-thirds of the AI assets and capabilities in the United States(San Francisco and San Jose alone accountfor aboutone-quarter).The dominance of a few cities in the invention and commercialization of AI means that geographicaldisparities in wealth will continue tosoar.Not only will this foster political and social unrest,but it could,asCoyle suggests,hold back the sorts of AI technologies needed for regional economies to grow.Part of the solution could lie in somehow loosening the stranglehold that Big Tech has on defining theAI agenda.That will likely take increased federal funding for research independent of the tech giants.Muroand others have suggested hefty federal funding to help create US regional innovation centers,for example.A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imaginations to conceive of AI technologies thatdont simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts of the country care mostabout,like health care,education,and manufacturing.21.Coyle argues that economie growth should_A.give rise to innovationsB.diversity career choicesC.benefit people equallyD.be promoted forcedly22.In Paragraph 2,digital technologies should be used to.A.bring about instant prosperityB.reduce peoples workloadC.raisc ovcrall work cfficicncyD.enhance cross-sector cooperation23.What does Coyle fear about transformative technologics?A.They may affect work-life balance.B.They may be impractical to deploy.C.They may incur huge expenditure.D.They may unwelcome to public.24.Several cities are mentioned toA.the uneven distribution of Al technology in USB.disappointing prospect of jobs in USC.fast progress of US regional economicsD.increasing significance of US AI assets25.With regard to concern,the author suggest________.A.raising funds to start new AI projectsB.encouraging collaboration in AI researchC.guarding against side effectsD.redefine the role ofAIText 2The UK is facing a future construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to produce wood,Conforhas warned.The forestry and wood trade body has called for urgent action to reduce the countrys relianceontimber imports and provide a stable supply of wood for future generations.Currently only 20 percent ofthe UKs wood requirement is home-grown while it remains the sccond-largest net importer of timber in theworld.Coming at a time of fresh incentives from the UK government for landowners to grow more trees,thetrade body says these dont go far enough and fail to promote the benefits of planting them to boost timbersupplies.“Not only are we facing a carbon crisis now,but we will also be facing a future construction crisisbecause of failure to plant trees to produce wood."said Stuart Goodall,chief executive of Confor."Fordecades we have not taken responsibility for investing in our domestic woodsupply,leaving us exposed tofluctuating prices and fighting for future supplies of wood as global demand rises and our own supplies fall."The UK has ideal conditions for growing wood to build low-carbon homes and is a global leader incertifying that its forests are sustainably managed,Confor says.While around three quarters of Scottishhomes are built from Scottish timber,the use of home-grown wood in England is only around 25 percent.While productive tree planting can deliver real financial benefits to rural economies and contribute to theUKs net-zero strategy,the focus of government support continues to be on food production and therewinding and planting of native woodland solely for biodiversity.Goodall add:“While food productionand biodiversity are clearly of critical importance,we need our land to also provide secure supplies of woodfor construction,manufacturing and contribute to net zero.“While the UK govemment has stated its ambition for more tree planting,there has been little action onthe ground."Confor is now calling for much greater impetus bchind those aspirations to ensure we haveenough wood to meet increasing demand."26.It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that UK need to____.A.increase domestic wood supplyB.reduce demand for timberC.lower wood production costsD.lift control on timber imports27.According to Confor,UK government fresh incentives______.A.can hardly address construction crisisB.are believed to come at wrong timeC.seem to be misleadingD.too costly to put into practice28.The UK exposure to fuctuating wood prices is the result of________.ernments inaction on timber importB.inadequate investment for woodCpetition among traders at homeD.wood producersmotive to maximize profits29.Which of following causes the shortage of wood supply?A.excessive timber consumption in constructionB.unfavorable conditions in UKC.outdated technology for wood productionD.farmersunwillingness to plan trees30.What does Goodall think US government should do?A.Subsidize the buildingB.Pay attention to rural economyC.Provide support for tree plantingD.Give priority to pursue net-zero strategyText 3One big challenge in keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road is convincing them that it is time to tumover the key.It is a complete life-changer when someone stops-or is forced to stop -driving,said formerrisk manager Anne M.Menke.The American Medical Association advises physicians that in situation where clear evidence ofsubstantial driving impairment implies a strong threat to patient and public safety,and where the physiciansadvice to discontinue driving privileges is ignored,it is desirable and ethical to notify the Department ofMotor Vehicles,Menke wrote."Some states require physicians to report,others allow but do not mandatereports,while a few consider a report breach of confidentiality.There could be liability and penalties if aphysician does not act in accordance with state laws on reporting and confidentiality "she counseled.Part of the problem in keeping older drivers safe is that the difficulties are addressed piccemeal bydifferent professions with different focuses,including gerontologists,highway administration officials,automotive engineers and others,said gerontologist Elizabeth Dugan."Theres not a National Institute ofOlder Driver Studies,"she said."We need better evidence on what makes drivers unsafe"and what can help,said DuganOne thing that does seem to work is requiring drivers to report in person for license renewal.Mandatoryin-person renewal was associated with a 31 percent reduction in fatal crashes involving drivers 85 or older,according to one study.Passing vision tests also produced a similar decline in fatal crashes for those drivers,although there appeared to be no benefit from combining the two.Many old drivers dont see eye doctors or cant afford to.Primary care providers have their hands fulland may not be able to follow through with patients who have trouble driving because they cant turn theirheads or remember where they are going—or have gotten shorter and havent changed their seat settingssufficiently to reach car pedals easily, As long as there are other cars on the roads,self-driving cars wont solve the problems of crashes,saidDugan.Avoiding dangers posed by all those human drivers would require to many algorithms,she said.Butwe need to do more to improve safety,said Dugan."If were going to have 100-year lives,we need cars thata 90-year-old can drive comfortably."31.Aecording to Paragraphl,keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road_ .A.is a ncw safety measureB.has become a disputed issueC.can be a tough task to completeD.will be beneficial to their health32.The American medical associations advice_ .A.has won support from driversB.is generally considered unrealisticC.is wide dismissed as unnecessaryD.has met with different responses33.According to Dugan,efforts to keep older drivers safe.A.have brought about big changesB.necd to be well coordinatedChave gained public concermD.call for relevant legal support34.Some older drivers have trouble driving because they tend to_ .A.stick with bad driving habitsB.have a weakened memoryC.suffer from chronic painsD.neglect car maintenance35.Dugan thinks that the solution to the problems of crashes may lie in__A.npgrading self-driving vehicleB.developing senior-friendly carsC.renovating transport facilitiesD.adjusting the age limit for driversText 4The miracle of the Chesapeake Bay lies not in its depths,but in the complexity of its naturalconstruction,the interaction of fresh and saline waters,and the mix of land and water.The shallowsprovide homes for hundreds of species while storing floodwaters,filtering pollutants from water,and protecting nearby communities from potentially destructive storm surges.All this was put at great risk late last month,when the U.S.Supreme Court issued a ruling in anidaho case that provides the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)far less authority toregulate wetlands and waterways.Specifically,a 5-4 majority decided that wetlands protected bythe EPA under its Clean Water Act authority must have a "continuous surface connection"to bodiesof water.This narrowing of the regulatory scope was a victory for builders,mining operators andother commereial interests often at odds with environmental rules.And it carries "significantrepereussions for water quality and flood control throughout the United States,"as Justice BrettKavanaugh observed.In Maryland,the good news is that there are many state laws in place that provide wetlandsprotections.But thats a very shortsightedview,particularly when it comes to the Chesapeake Bay.The reality is that water,and the pollutants that so often come with it,dont respeet stateboundaries.The Chesapeake draws from a 64,000-square-mile watershed that extends into Virginia,Pennsylvania,New York,West Virginia,the District of Columbia and Delaware.Will thosejurisdictions extend the same protections now denied under Sackettv.EPA?Perhaps some,but all?That seems unlikely.It is too easy,and misleading,to see such court rulings as merely standing up for the rights ofland owners when the consequences can be so dire for their neighbors.And its a reminder that theEPAs involvement in the ChesapeakeBay Program has long been crucial as the means to transcendthe influence of deep-pocketed special interests in neighboring states.Pennsylvania farmers,to useone telling example,arent thinking about next years blue erab harvest in Maryland when theydecide whether to sprend animal waste on their fields,yet the runoff into nearby creeks can haveenormous impact downstream.And so we would eall on state lawmakers from Richmond to Albany to consider reviewing theirown wetlands protections and see for themselves the enormous stakes involved.We can offer thema visit to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Dorchester County where bald engles fly overtidal marshes so shallow you could not paddle a boat across them but teaming with aquatie life.Itsworth the scenic drive.36.A.the prevalence of health apps37.A.Its coverage needs to be extended.38.Before sharing its usershealth information,Flo Health is

bolster their chances of admission a selective undergraduate institution.However,college admissions experts say that the quality of a college hopefuls extracurricular activitiesmatter more than the number of activities.he or she participates in.Sue Rexford,the director of college guidance at the Charles.E.Smith Jewish Day School,says it is notnecessary for a student,filling out the Common Application to list lo activities in the application.“No”college will expect that a students has a huge laundry list of extracurriculars that they have beenpassionately involved in each for an tended period of time,"Rexfon d wrote in an email.Experts say it is toughen to distinguish oneself in aschool-affiliated extracurricular activity that iscommon among high school students than it is to stand out while doing an uncommon activity.The competition to stand out and make an impact is going to be much stiffer,and so if they re going todo a popular activity,Id say,be the best at it."says Sara

one focused type of extracurricular activity can be a positive in theadmissions process,especially for highly selective institutions,where having top grades and test scores isnot enough,"Katie Kelley admissions counselor at Ivy Wise admissions consullancy,wrote in anemail.“Students need to have that quality or hook that will appeal to admissions officers and allow them tovisualize how the student might come and enrich their campus community."Extracurricular activities related to the college major declared on a college application are beneficial,experts suggest."If you already know your

to the people responsible for growing or raising your food,support your localeconomy and pick up fresh seasonal produce …-all at the same time.Farmersmarkets are usually weekly or monthly events,most

(10 points)Harlan Coben believes that if you’re a writer, you’ll find the time; and that if you can’t find the time, then writing isn’t a priority and you’re not a writer. For him, writing is a 1 job–a job like any other. He has 2 it with plumbing, pointing at that a plumber doesn’t wake up and say that he can’t work with pipes today.3 , like most writers these days, you’re holiday down a job to pay the bills, it’s not4 to find the time to write. But it’s not impossible. It requires determination and single-mindedness.5 that most bestselling authors began writing when they were doing other things to earn a living. And today, even writers who are fairly6 often have to do other work to7 their writing income.As Harlan Coben has suggested, it’s a 8 of priorities. To make writing a priority, you’ll have to 9 some of your day-to-day activities and some things you really enjoy. Depending on your 10 and your lifestyle, that might mean spending less time watching television or listening to music, though some people can write 11 they listen to music. You might have to 12 the amount of exercise or sport you do. You’ll have to make social media an 13 activity rather than a daily, time-consuming 14 . There’ll probably have to be less socializing with your friends and less time with your family. It’s a 15 learning curve, and it won’t always make you popular.There’s just one thing you should try to keep at least some time for, 16 your writing–and that’s reading. Any writer needs to read as much and as widely as they can; it’s the one 17 supporter–something you can’t do without.Time is finite. The older you get, the 18 it seems to go. We need to use it as carefully and as 19 as we can. That means prioritising our activities so that we spend most time on the things we really want to do. If you’re a writer, that means 20 writing.1.

Think about the times you felt tricked or frustrated by a membership or subscription that had a seamless sign-up process but was later difficult to cancel. Something that should be simple and transparent can be complicated, intentionally or unintentionally, in ways that impair consumer choice. These are examples of dark patterns.First coined in 2010 by user experience expert Harry Brignull, “dark patterns" is a catch-all term for practices that manipulate user interfaces to influence the decision-making ability of users. Brignull identifies 12 types of common dark patterns, ranging from misdirection and hidden costs to “roach motel”, where a user experience seems easy and intuitive at the start, but turns difficult when the user tries to get out.In a 2019 study of 53,000 product pages and 11,000 websites, researchers found that about one in 10 employs these design practices. Though widely prevalent, the concept of dark patterns is still not well understood. Business and nonproft leaders should be aware of dark patterns and try to avoid the gray areas they engender.Where is the line between ethical, persuasive design and dark patterns? Businesses should engage in conversations with IT, compliance, risk, and legal teams to review their privacy policy, and include in the discussion the customer/user experience designers and coders responsible for the company's user interface, as well as the marketers and advertisers responsible for sign-ups, checkout baskets, pricing, and promotions. Any or all these teams can play a role in creating or avoiding “digital deception.”Lawmakers and regulators are slowly starting to address the ambiguity around dark patterns, most recently at the state level. In March, the California Attorney General announced the approval of additional regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that “ensure that consumers will not be confused or misled when seeking to exercise their data privacy rights.” The regulations aim to ban dark patterns- this means prohibiting companies from using "confusing language or unnecessary steps such as forcing them to click through multiple screens or listen to reasons why they shouldn’t opt out.”As more states consider promulgating additional regulations, there is a need for greater accountability from within the business community. Dark patterns also can be addressed on a self-regulatory basis, but only if organizations hold themselves accountable, not just to legal requirements, but also to industry best practices and standard.31. It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that dark patterns ______.[A] improve user experiences[B] leak user information for profit[C] undermine users’ decision-making[D] remind users of hidden costs32. The 2019 study on dark patterns is mentioned to show ______.[A] their major flaws[B] their complex designs[C] their severe damage[D] their strong presence33. To handle digital deception, businesses should ______.[A] listen to customer feedback[B] talk with relevant teams[C] turn to independent agencies[D] rely on professional training34. The additional regulations under the CCPA are intended to ______.[A] guide users through opt-out processes[B] protect consumers from being tricked[C] grant companies data privacy rights[D] restrict access to problematic content35. According to the last paragraph, a key to coping with dark patterns is ______.[A] new legal requirements[B] businesses' self-discipline[C] strict regulatory standards[D] consumers' safety awarenessSection III TranslationDirections:Translate the following text into Chinese.

Changes in the light, the limitations of your palette, and just plain old lack of experience and technique mean that what you start out trying to achieve sometimes d oesn’t come to life the way that you expected.Although this can be frustrating and disappointing, it turns out that this can actually be good for you! Unexpected results have two benefits: for starters, you pretty quickly learn to deal with disappointment, and in time (often through repeated error) to realise that when one door closes, another opens. You quickly learn to adapt and come up with creative solutions to the problems the painting presents, and this means that thinking outside the box becomes second nature to the painter!Creative problem solving skills are incredibly useful in daily life, and mean you’re more likely to be able to quickly come up with a solution when a problem arises.Section IV WritingPart A47.

the perfect lawn,homeowners across the country are taking a shortcut—and it is the environment that is paying the price.About eight million square metres of plastic grass is sold each year but opposition has now spread to the highest gardening circles.The Chelsea Flower Show has banned fake grass from this year’s event,declaring it to be not part of its ethos.The Royal Horticultural Society(RHS),which runs the annual show in west London,says it has introduced the ban because of the damage plastic grass does to the environment and biodiversity.Ed Horne,of the RHS,said:“We launched our sustainability strategy last year and fake grass is just not in line with our ethos and views on plastic.We recommend using real grass because of its environmental benefits,which include supporting wildlife,mitigating flooding and cooling the environment.”The RHS’s decision comes as campaigners try to raise awareness of the problems fake grass causes.A Twitter account called Shit Lawns,which claims to“cut through the greenwash”of artificial grass,already has more than20,000followers.It is trying to encourage people to sign two petitions,one calling for a ban on the sale of plastic grass and another calling for an “ecological damage”tax on such lawns.They have gathered7,260and11,272signatures.However,supporters of fake grass point out that there is also an environmental impact with natural lawns,which need mowing and therefore usually consume electricity or petrol.The industry also points out that real grass requires considerable amounts of water,weed killer or other treatments and that people who lay fake grass tend to use their garden more.The industry also claims that people who lay fake grass spend an average of£500on trees or shrubs for their garden, which provides habitat for insects.In response to another petition last year about banning fake lawns,which gathered30,000 signatures,the government responded that it has“no plans to ban the use of artificial grass”.It added:“We prefer to help people and organizations make the right choice rather than legislating on such matters.However,the use of artificial grass must comply with the legal and policy safeguards in place to protect biodiversity and ensure sustainable drainage,while measures such as the strengthened biodiversity duty should serve to encourage public authorities to consider sustainable alternatives.”21.The RHS thinks that plastic grass.[A]is harmful to the environment[B]is a hot topic in gardening circles[C]is overpraised in the annual show[D]is ruining the view of west London22.The petitions mentioned in para.3reveal the campaigner's.[A]disappointment with the RHS[B]resistance to fake grass use[C]anger over the proposed tax[D]concern above real grass supply23.In para4,supporters of fake grass point out that.[A]the necessity to lower the costs of fake grass[B]the disadvantages of growing real grass[C]the way to take care of artificial lawns[D]the challenges of insect habitat protection24.What would the government do with regard to artificial grass?[A]urge legislation to restrict its use[B]take measures to guarantee its quality[C]remind its users to obey existing rules[D]replace it with sustainable alternatives25.It can be learned from the text that fake grass.[A]is being improved continuously[B]has been a market share decline[C]is becoming affordable[D]has been a controversial productText2It’s easy to dismiss as absurd the Trump administration’s ideas for plugging the chronic funding gap of our national parks.Can anyone really think it’s a good idea to allow Amazon deliveries to your tent in Yosemite or food trucks to line up under the redwood trees at Sequoia National Park? But the administration is right about one thing:U.S.national parks are in crisis.Collectively, they have a maintenance backlog of more than$12billion.Roads,trails,restrooms,visitor centers and other infrastructure are crumbling.But privatizing and commercializing the campgrounds would not be the panacea that the Interior Department’s Outdoor Advisory Committee would have us believe.Campgrounds are a tiny portion of the overall infrastructure backlog,and concessionaires in the parks hand over,on average,only about5%of their revenues to the National Park Service.Moreover,increased privatization would certainly undercut one of the major reasons why300 million visitors come to the parks each year:to enjoy nature and get a respite from the commercial drumbeat that overwhelms daily life.The real problem is that the parks have been chronically starved of funding.We conducted a comprehensive survey examining how U.S.residents view their national parks,and we found that Americans place a very high value on them—whether or not they actually visit them.The peer-reviewed economic survey of700U.S.taxpayers,conducted by mail and internet,also found that people would be willing to pay a significant amount of money to make sure the parks and their programs are kept intact.Some81%of respondents said they would be willing to pay additional taxes for the next10years to avoid any cuts to the national parks.The national parks provide great value to U.S.residents both as places to escape and as symbols of nature.On top of this,they produce value from their extensive educational programs,their positive impact on the climate through carbon sequestration,their contribution to our cultural and artistic life,and of course through tourism.The parks also help keep America’s past alive, working with thousands of local jurisdictions around the country to protect historical sites—including Ellis Island and Gettysburg—and to bring the stories of these places to life.The parks do all this on a shoestring.Congress allocates only$3billion a year to the national park system—an amount that has been flat since2001(in inflation-adjusted dollars)with the exception of a onetime boost in2009as part of the Obama stimulus package.Meanwhile,the number of annual visitors has increased by more than50%since1980,and now stands at330 million visitors per year.26.What problem are U.S.national parks faced with?[A]decline of business profits[B]inadequate commercialization[C]lack of transportation services[D]poorly maintained infrastructure27.Increased privatization of the campground may?[A]spoil visitor experience[B]help preserve nature[C]bring operational pressure[D]boost visits to parks28.According to para.5,most respondents in the survey would?[A]go to the national parks on a regular basis[B]advocate a bigger budget for the national parks[C]pay extra for the national parks[D]support the national parks'recent reforms29.The national parks are valuable in that they________[A]lead the way in tourism[B]have historical significance[C]sponsor research on climate[D]provide an income for locals30.It can be concluded from the text that the national park system[A]is able to cope with shortages[B]is able to meet visitors'demand[C]is in need of a new pricing policy[D]is in need of a funding increaseText3The Internet maybe changing merely what we remember,not our capacity to do so,suggests Columbia University psychology professor Betsy Sparrow.In201,Sparrow led a study in which participants were asked to record40facts in a computer("an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain, for example).Half of the participants were told the information would be erased,while the other half were told it would be saved.Guess what?The latter group made no effort to recall the information when quizzed on it later,because they knew they could find it on their computers.In the same study,a group was asked to remember their information and the folders it was stored in. They didn't remember their information.But they remembered how to find the folders.In other words,human memory is not deteriorating but"adapting to new communications technology," Sparrow says.In a very practical way,the Internet is becoming an external hard drive for our memories,a process known as"cognitive offloading.""Traditionally,this role was fulfilled by data banks, libraries,and other humans.Your father may never remember birthdays because your mother does,for instance.Some worry that this is having a destructive effect on society,but Sparrow sees an upside.Perhaps,she suggests,the trend will change our approach to learning from a focus on individual facts and memorization to an emphasis on more conceptual thinking-something that isnot available on the Internet."I personally have never seen all that much intellectual value in memorizing things,"Sparrow says,adding that we haven't lost our ability to do it.Still,other experts say it's too soon to understand how the Internet affects our brains.There is no experimental evidence showing that it interferes with our ability to focus,for instance,wrote psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons.And surfing the web exercised the brain more than reading did among computer-save older adults in a2008study involving24participants at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California,Los Angeles.There maybe costs associated with our increased reliance on the Internet but I'd have to imagine that overall the benefits are going to outweigh those costs,observes psychology professor Benjamin Storm:'It seems pretty clear that memory is changing,but is it changing for the better? At this point,we don't know.31.Sparrow's study shows that with the Internet,the human brain will[A]analyze information in detail[B]collect information efficiently[C]switch its focus of memory[D]extend its memory duration32.The process of"cognitive offloading"[A]helps us identify false information[B]keeps our memory from failing[C]enables us to classify trivial facts[D]lessens our memory burdens33.Which of the following would Sparrow support about the Internet?[A]It may reform our way of learning[B]It may impact our society negatively[C]It may enhance our adaptability to technology[D]It may interfere with our conceptual thinking34.It is indicated in Para3that how the Internet affects our brains?[A]requires further academic research[B]is most studies in older adults[C]is reflected in our reading speed[D]depends on our web-surfing habits35.Neither Sparrow nor Storm would agree that[A]our reliance on the Internet will be costly[B]the Internet is weakening our memory[C]memory exercise is a must for our brain[D]our ability to focus decline with ageText4Teenagers are paradoxical.That's a mild and detached way of saying something that parents often express with considerably stronger language.But the paradox is scientific as well as personal.In adolescence,helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other.At the same time,once cheerful and compliant children become rebellious teenage risk-takers,often to the point of self-destruction.Accidental deaths go up dramatically in adolescence.A new study published in the journal Child Development,by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues,suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence.For a long time,scientists and policymakers concentrated on the idea that teenagers were a problem that needed to be solved.The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of opportunity as well as risk.The researchers studied“prosocial”and rebellious traits in more than200children and young adults,ranging from11to28years old.The participants filled out questionnaires about how often they did things that were altruistic and positive,like sacrificing their own interests to help a friend, or rebellious and negative,like getting drunk or staying out late.Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older.But the new study shows that,interestingly,the same pattern holds for prosocial behavior.Teenagers were more likely than younger children or adults to report that they did things like unselfishly help a friend.Most significantly,there was a positive correlation between prosociality and rebelliousness.The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others.The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop together.Is there some common factor that underlies these apparently contradictory developments?One idea is that teenage behavior is related to what researchers call“reward sensitivity.”Decision-making always involves balancing rewards and risks,benefits and costs.“Reward sensitivity”measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk.Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards—winning the game,impressing a new friend,getting that boy to notice you.Reward sensitivity,like prosocial behavior and risk-taking, seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we age.Somehow,when you hit30,the chance that something exciting and new will happen at that party just doesn’t seem to outweigh the effort of getting up off the couch.36.According to Paragraph1,children growing into adolescence tend to[A]develop opposite personality traits[B]see the world in an unreasonable way[C]have fond memories of the past[D]show attention for their parents37.It can be learned from Paragraph2that Crone's study[A]explores teenagers'social resposibilities[B]examines teenagers'emotional problems[C]provides a new insight into adolescence[D]highlight negative adolescent behaviour38.What does Crone's study find about prosocial behavior?[A]It results from the wish to cooperate[B]It is cultivated through education[C]It is subject to family influence[D]It tends to peak in adolescence39.It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that teenagers[A]overstress their influence on others[B]care a lot about social recognition[C]become anxious about their future[D]endeavor to live a joyful life40.What is

the price of new homes,as well as those of extensions and loft conversions on existing ones.The rules,which came into effect on Wednesday in England,are part of government plans to reduce the UK’s carbon emissions to net zero by2050.They set new standards for ventilation, energy efficiency and heating,and state that new residential buildings must have charging points for electric vehicles.The moves are the most significant change to building regulations in years,and industry experts say they will inevitably lead to higher prices at a time when a shortage of materials and high labour costs is already driving up bills.Brian Berry,chief executive of the Federation of Master Builders,a trade group for small and medium-sized builders,says the measures will require new materials,testing methods,productsand systems to be installed.“All this comes at an increased cost during a time when prices are already sky high.Inevitably,consumers will have to pay more,”he says.Gareth Belsham,of surveyors Naismiths,says people who are upgrading,or extending their home,will be directly affected.“The biggest changes relate to heating and insulation,”he says.“There are new rules concerning the amount of glazing used in extensions,and any new windows or doors must be highly insulated.”Windows and doors will have to adhere to higher standards,while there are new limits on the amount of glazing you can have to reduce unwanted heat from the sun.Thomas Goodman,of MyJobQuote,a site which sources quotes,says this will bring in new restrictions for extensions.“Glazing on windows,doors and rooflights must cover no more than 25%of the floor area to prevent heat loss,”he says.As the rules came into effect last Wednesday,property developers were rushing to file plans just before the deadline.Any plans submitted before that date are considered to be under the previous rules,and can go ahead as long as work starts before15June next year.Builders which have costed projects,but have not filed the paperwork,may need to go back and submit fresh estimates,says Marcus Jefford of Build Aviator,which prices projects.As the changes are aimed to make homes more energy efficient,they will eventually drive down heating bills.But in the short-term homeowners are likely to face higher costs for work. Materials prices are already up25%in the last two years,according to figures from the Construction Products Association.How much overall prices will increase as a result of the rule changes is not clear.“While admirable in their intentions,they will add to the cost of housebuilding at a time when many already feel that they are priced out of homeownership,”says Rolande.“An average extension will probably see around£3,000additional cost thanks to the new regs.”John Kelly,a construction lawyer at Freeths law firm,believes prices will eventually come down.But not in the immediate future.“As the marketplace adapts to the new requirements,and the technologies that support them,the scaling up of these technologies will eventually bring costs down,but in the short term,we will all have to pay the price of the necessary transition,”he says. However,the long-term effects of the changes will be more comfortable and energy-efficient homes,adds Andrew Mellor.“Homeowners will probably recoup that cost over time in energy bill savings.It will obviously be very volatile at the moment,but they will have that benefit over time.”[A]The rise of home prices is a temporarymatter.41.Brian Berry[B]Builders possibly need to submit newestimates of their projects.42.Gareth Belsham[C]There will be specific limits on homeextensions to prevent heat loss43.Marcus Jefford[D]The new rules will take home price to aneven higher lever.44.John Kelly[E]Many people feel that home prices arealready beyond what they can afford45.Andrew Mellor[F]The new rules will affect people whosehome extensions include new windows ordoors.[G]The rule changes will benefit homeownerseventually.Section III Translation46.Directions:Translate following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15points) In the late18th century,William Wordsworth became famous for his poems about nature.And he was one of the founders of a movement called Romanticism,which celebrated the wonders of the natural world.Poetry is powerful.Its energy and rhythm can capture a reader,transport them to another world and make them see things differently.Through carefully selected words and phrases,poems can be dramatic,funny,beautiful,moving and inspiring.No one knows for sure when poetry began but it has been around for thousands of years,even before people could write.It was a way to tell stories and pass down history.It is closely related to song and even when written it is usually created to be performed out loud.Poems really cometo life when they are recited.This can also help with understanding them too,because the rhythm and sounds of the words become clearer.Section IV WritingPart A47.Directions:An art exhibition and a robot show are to beheld on Sunday,your friend David asks which one he should go to.Write him an email to1)make a suggestion,and2)give your reason(s)Write your answer in about100words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your own name in your email,use Li Ming instead.(10points)Part B48.Directions:Write an essay based on the chart below.In your writing,you should1)describe and interpret the chart and2)give your comments.You should write at least150words.Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET(15points)2012-2021年我国居民健康素养水平*健康素养（health literacy）。
