But he could not go far beneath its surface.Man wants to explore deep into the sea. However, he is not a fish. Because he must breathe air, he can not stay under the water surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or special mixture of gases. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above. He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece.Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water push against a diver deep in the sea. His body is under great pressure. When a diver is un der great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rise to the surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly ,the gases in his blood form bubbles. The diver is then suffering from the bends (潜水员病)。

After an American company, Liberty Media, acquired the Formula Onecompetition recently, Chase Carey—a former executive with Fox Broadcasting Company and DirecTV who by his own admission is not a fierce racing fan—was named to replace Ecclestone and to try to renovate the organization's management, reach and ambition.D) Among the goals, Carey said in an interview on Tuesday, is one that just about every global sport seemsinterested in chasing: increasing interest in the United States. "People have said we're going to "Americanize' it," Carey said. "And we're not going to do that totally. But realistically, there are some elements of Americanization that the sport could use."E) While Formula One commands enormous audiences throughout much of the world, many Americansports fans know it as that other motorsport, the one that is not Nascar (纳斯卡车赛). Formula One teams race far more technologically advanced vehicles around tracks all over the world-in magnificent events in places like Malaysia, Monaco, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, and on tradition-rich tracks like Silverstone in England and Monza in Italy too.F) The series has an annual race in Austin, Texas. But within "a few years," Carey said, he plans to bringanother to a destination American city, like New York, Los Angeles, Miami or Las Vegas. Carey's ambitious plan is two-fold: first, change the business model of Formula One, which he said was a "one-man show" under Ecclestone that had a largely narrow vision when it came to negotiating partnership deals; and second, alter the way fans experience the sport, both in person and remotely, so that connections between the audience and people within the series are easier to make.G) Increased digital access for fans, a more behind-the-scenes experience for broadcast viewers andinnovation in areas like virtual reality-what is it like to speed around a track inside a Ferrari?-are among the possibilities. "The sport has clearly been underserved," Carey said. "It doesn't do anything digitally.There's no marketing. It doesn't tell any stories. The goal in this is to make the fans connect to the live experience as much as possible, and the tools you have to do that, we're not using at all."H) The larger question, though, is a familiar one: Is there room for Formula One in the ever-crowded sportslandscape of the United States? Opinions vary, particularly because viewing habits among consumers continue to evolve. John Bloom, a professor at Shippensburg University who has studied American sports history, said the biggest challenge for any sport trying to increase its presence in the United States was framing itself in a way that had lasting appeal. "Sports generally become popular in some way because they establish a narrative," Bloom said. "When I think of motorsports in the U.S., what we allthink of is Nascar, and the narrative of Nascar is sort of rural, white, working-class Americans, mostly in the South, connecting with the atmosphere of those races. That's the narrative. When I think of the narrative of Formula One, it's a very different kind of audience."I) That difference, Carey said, is significant. While some might immediately link Formula One to Nascar interms of American growth, Carey said Formula One's brand research had indicated there was very little crossover; rather, Formula One fans generally cite other so-called elite events, like Wimbledon or the Ryder Cup, as competitions they enjoy. "Other than they're both cars, the Nascar fan base is a very different fan base," Carey said. "It's a very regional fan base. Formula One is a global, famous brand of stars. These are machines that shock and awe you."J) Carey's background is in deal making and innovation. At Fox Broadcasting Company, he was a top advisor for years, known for his skill in helping to lead the launch of the company into sports, as well as the start of Fox News Channel. After going to DirecTV, he positioned the satellite provider as a mainstream option in millions of households.K) Now, after Liberty Media paid $4.4 billion to acquire Formula One, he is charged with making the investment pay off. "I think they can build Formula One in the U.S.," said Patrick Crakes, an executive at In Vivo Media Group who spent 25 years at Fox Broadcasting Company before leaving in 2016 as a senior manager at Fox Sports. "People don't work on their cars anymore. They don't want that connection anymore. It's about technology and pushing the limits. It's about speed, danger and risk. And Formula One has that more than any other racing series."L) That is what hooked Carey, and he said he thought his experience was not unusual. He recalled attending Formula One's Monaco race last year and being overwhelmed by the ceremony leading up to the event, the way the race charmed the city for days ahead of the start. In his mind, it felt like a Super Bowl （超级碗橄榄球赛).M) Then, on race day, he watched as the cars rocketed out of a tunnel and went screaming toward a tight turn with the city's harbor and the Mediterranean Sea in the background framing the scene. He was fascinated."You can't help but be awed," he said, "and I think that feeling can be translated to the viewer."N) He added: "The broader sport is a little too inward-looking, and we need to be more open. In some ways, I'm glad to be coming from the outside. The guys who are in the sport forever are sitting there saying: 'We can't do that. We can't do that because it's never been done that way.""36. Chase Carey believes greater use should be made of digital technology to make Formula One moreaccessible to its fans.37. Chase Carey was deeply impressed by the ceremony preceding last year's Monaco race.38. One of Chase Carey's goals is to make Formula One more appealing to Americans.39. A former motorbike parts dealer led Formula One for the past forty years.40. Chase Carey thought the audience of Formula One could be made to share his feeling about the race.41. Chase Carey used to serve as a top advisor for a major broadcasting company.42. Chase Carey intends to make connections easier between the audience and the Formula One racers.43. The new leader of Formula One admitted he was not super interested in car racing.44. People's opinions differ as to whether Formula One can be promoted in the U.S.45. Compared with other racing series, Formula One focuses more on speed and involves more danger.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Supermarkets have long been suffering as one of the thinnest-margined businesses in existence and one of the least-looked-forward-to places to work or visit. For more than a decade, they have been under attack from e-commerce giants, blamed for making Americans fat, and accused of contributing to climate change.Supermarkets can technically be defined as giants housing 15,000 to 60,000 different products. The revolutionary idea of a self-service grocery, where people could hunt and gather food from aisles rather than asking a clerk to fetch items from behind a counter, first came about in America. There is some debate about which was the very first, but over the years a consensus has built around King Kullen Supermarket, founded in New York in 1930.For some 300 years, Americans had fed themselves from small stores and public markets. Shopping for food involved mud, noisy chickens, clouds of flies, nasty smells, bargaining, and getting short-changed. The supermarket imitated the Fordist factory, with its emphasis on efficiency and standardization, and reimagined it as a place to buy food. Supermarkets may not feel cutting-edge now, but they were a revolution in distribution at the time. They were such strange marvels that, on her first official state visit to the United States in 1957, Queen Elizabeth II insisted on an impromptu (即兴的)tour of a suburban-Maryland Giant Food.The typical supermarket layout has barely changed over the past 90 years. Most stores open with flowers, fruit and vegetables at the front as a breath of freshness to arouse our appetite. Meanwhile, they keep the milk, eggs, and other daily basics all the way back so you'll travel through as much of the store as possible, and be tempted along the way.In the early days, as the supermarket multiplied, so did our suspicion of it. We have long feared that this "revolution in distribution" uses corporate black magic on our appetite. The book The Hidden Persuaders, published in 1957, warned that supermarkets were putting women in a "hypnoidal trance (催眠恍惚状态)," causing them to wander aisles bumping into boxes and "picking things off shelves at random."46. What problem have supermarkets been facing?A) They are actually on the way to bankruptcy.C) They are forced to use e-commerce strategies.B) They have been losing customers and profits.D) They have difficulty adapting to climate change.47. What does the passage say about the idea of a self-service grocery?A) It was put forward by King Kullen. C) It has been under constant debate.B) It originated in the United States. D) It proves revolutionary even today.48. What did supermarkets do by adopting the Fordist factory approach?A) They modernized traditional groceries in many ways.B) They introduced cutting-edge layout of their stores.C) They improved the quality of the food they sold.D) They revolutionized the distribution of goods.49. What is the typical supermarket layout intended to do?A) Arouse customers' appetite to buy flowers, fruit and vegetables.B) Provide customers easy access to items they want to buy.C) Induce customers to make more unplanned purchases.D) Enable customers to have a more enjoyable shopping experience.50. What have people long feared about supermarkets?A) They use tricky strategies to promote their business.B) They are going to replace the local groceries entirely.C) They apply corporate black magic to the goods on display.D) They take advantage of the weaknesses of women shoppers.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The traditional school year, with three months of vacation every summer, was first implemented when America was an agricultural society and the summer months were needed for farm work. Since then, we've completely changed as a nation. Students no longer spend summers farming, but they aren't in school, either. The average American student receives 13 weeks off from school each calendar year-with about 11 of those during the summer. Few other countries have more than seven weeks off in a school calendar.With the U.S. lagging behind other countries in academics, it's time to consider year-round schooling. One benefit of this change is that students will not fall victim to the "summer slide," or the well-documented phenomenon where students forget some of the knowledge they have acquired when too much time is taken off from school. Decades of research shows that it can take from 8 to 13 weeks at the beginning of every school year for students to get back to where they were before the summer holiday.But year-round schooling isn't just about academics. Teachers and students experience a closer relationship in year-round schools than they do in traditional schools and, in the absence of any long-term break, students do not feel detached from the school environment. These closer bonds and greater attachment pay off. Research shows that students in year-round schools are more self-confident and feel more positive about their schooling experience.But don't kids need time to relax? Some childhood development experts believe that time off from school is vital to healthy development as kids are not designed to spend so much of their time inside classrooms and the summer break provides a perfect opportunity to get outside. The problem with this argument is that most children aren't playing outside or even spending time with other kids. While some children visit summer camps, most stay at home, watching TV or playing games on electronic devices, which hardly benefits them.The U.S. has changed from a farming economy to a knowledge- and innovation-based economy, so it makes sense for the school year to change as well.51. Why did America's traditional school year have a three-month summer vacation?A) Students needed to help with farm work.B) Students needed time to learn necessary farming skills.C) The agricultural society then attached less importance to academics.D) America lagged behind other countries in making a scientific school calendar.52. What benefit will year-round schooling bring students in addition to improving their learning?A) It will help them get back to where their lessons started.B) It will enable them to absorb what they have learned.C) It will familiarize them with the school environment.D) It will strengthen their relationship with teachers.53. What do some childhood development experts believe about the long summer vacation?A) It meets students' need to study on their own.B) It enables students to learn about the outside world.C) It satisfies students' desire to stay longer at home.D) It contributes to students' healthy growth.54. What is the argument against the experts' idea of a long summer vacation?A) It does little good to most students.B) It benefits few students playing outside.C) It leads students to neglect their studies.D) It makes students addicted to computer games.55. What does the author think of the traditional school year in the U.S. today?A) Well-grounded. C) Outdated.B) Culture-bound. D) Welcomed.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Lacking in Self-Esteem (自尊)? Good for you!According to psychological and educational theories, self-esteem is essential for a successful life. Generations of children, especially minority kids, have been educated according to the theory (that they lack self-esteem), and that this deficiency is central to any problems (they may have in making their way in the world).Well, guess what? A new research has found that self-esteem can be just as high among grade D students and drunk drivers as it is among Nobel Prize winners and former presidents. In fact, people with high self-esteem can engage in, far more anti-social behavior than those with low self- esteem.“Wc used to believe that high self-cstcem would cause all sorts of positive conscquences and that if we raised self-esteem, people would dobetter in life," a researcher said.“Mostly, the data have failed to support that." Racists, street thugs and school bullies all have high scores on the self-esteem tests.And you can see why. If you think youre highly gifted, you re particularly offended if other people dont treat you that way. So you hit out or commit crimes to defend your pride. After all, who are they to suggest that you could be doing something wrong? What do they know?Self-esteem can also be an educational concern. College teachers are constantly complaining about the high self-esteem of their students.When every grade in the school is assessed so as to，make the kid feel good rather than to give an accurate measure of his work, the kid can develop self-esteem dangerously unrelated to the truth. When hes told he is getting a C grade in college, he can then get deeply offended or extremely angry. Weak professors give in to the pressure - hence, grade inflation, which results in their students vague touch with reality.1. It is believed that minority kids often have self-esteem problem.A.

Students can attend classes from the comfort of their homes, which is particularly beneficial for those with busy schedules. Moreover, online platforms often offer a wide range of resources and interactive tools that can enhance the learning experience.However, there are also some drawbacks to online education. One major concern is the lack of face-to-face interaction, which can lead to feelings of isolation and reduced social skills. Additionally, self-discipline and time management are crucial for online learners, as they need to stay motivated and focused without the guidance of a traditional classroom environment.In my opinion, online education is a positive change.

To Lease(租赁) or Not to LeasePlanning tolease a car because you don't think you can afford to buy? Think again. Leasingcan end up being just as expensive as buying.Most peoplethink about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They'reright-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were tolease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If youwere to buy the same car, you would pay about $400per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But afteryour lease is over, you have to give the car back.Many peoplewant to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwisebe able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you mightbe able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buyaused Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore， allows you to drive the latest models of moreexpensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it,and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later.Furthermore,people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when thelease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you goover that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up payingthousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have topay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must returnthe car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.By now, thebenefits of buying over leasing should be clear. Remember: whatever model youcan afford to buy, it is yours after you make the payments. There's no givingback, and that makes all the difference.1.

Her most popular novel, “Pride and Prejudice”, described Elizabeth Bennett and her search for romance through a world of balls, dinners and endless social rules. Here the following helps you enter into Austen’s high society.1. Coming outGirls were treated as children until 18, when they “came out”. Parents took their daughters from their country homes to London. There, these young ladies from noble families were presented to the queen during the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace. This was their official entrance into society. Afterwards, they attended balls, dinners and parties in London. The girls met the important people in London society and, especially, searched for a suitable husband.2. DancesFamilies of unmarried young women often hosted dances at their homes and invited others of the same social class—particularly single young men. At the dance, each eligible girl had a dance card. If a young man wanted to dance with a girl, he approached her and asked to sign her card. A proper girl did not dance with one man for more than three songs in a row.3. Paying callsDuring Au sten’s time, there were strict rules about how, when, and why to visit friends and neighbors. To express condolences over the death of a friend’s family member or offer congratulations for an award, a visitor was required to wait a week after the event before visiting. Meanwhile, a party guest must visit and thank the hostess within the week after attending a party. Guests would be considered rude if they waited for more than two weeks to visit. Visits were supposed to last only 20 minutes to half an hour.36. Which of the following indicates girls’ official entrance into society?________A) They were 18.B) Their parents took them from their country homes to London.C) They found a suitable husband.D) In the biggest ball of the season at Buckingham Palace, they were presented to the queen.37. What does the author probably mean by “eligible” in the third paragraph?________A) Suited. B) Qualified. C) Suitable. D) Appropriate.38. As a rule, when should a party guest visit and thank the hostess after attending aparty?________A) Within the week after the event. B) More than two weeks.C) Within two weeks. D) Any time that he or she likes.39. In the writer’s opinion, ________.A) the British people were friendlyB) the British social rules in high society were strictC) the British parents were strict with their daughtersD) the British girls were very practical40. What would be the most appropriate title for this passage?________A) Austen’s Time.B) The British People.C) Good Manners in High Society. D) Strict Social Rules.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Halloween (October 31) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing doorbells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candies, fruits or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, which means “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat.”This practice has even more recently developed into a significant international activity. Instead of candies, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick of Treat”. Although it has begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.41. In history, Halloween was once a ______ day.A) children’s B) national C) religious D) international42. Which of the following is mentioned about how children celebrated the holiday some yearsago?________A) Making up in peculiar and horrifying costumes.B) Playing jokes on neighbors or friends.C) Ringing door bells.D) All of the above.43. What kind of treats will children not receive on October 31?________A) Candies. B) Fruits. C) Cookies. D) Chocolates.44. Why do children collect money to celebrate the holiday?________A) They need pocket money.B) They can use the money to buy whatever they like.C) They can help those children who need money in the whole world.D) What they did in the past have bored them.45. From the passage, we know that ________.A) to some degree, Halloween has not been the American own holiday and its influence will be greaterand greaterB) Halloween will become the most important holiday for the American peopleC) more and more parents will take part in the celebration of this holidayD) it will be celebrated by all the people around the worldQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A., guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, which would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.46. The author’s main purpose of the passage is to ______.A) emphasize the importance of time in American social customsB) tell us time and tide waits for no manC) teach us how to get on well with the American peopleD) introduce the personal relationship among the American people47. Generally speaking, when is it proper for you to call someone?________A) Very early in the morning. B) After 11 p.m.C) Sleeping hours. D) Neither very early in the morning nor after 11 p.m. 48. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree that ________.A) it is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in AmericaB) it may be appropriate to send your invitation to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some culturesC) time means the same for all the people around the worldD) people can communicate each other very well if they live in the same culture49. If you live in America, you should pay attention to ______.A) the time of your making a phone callB) the time of your sending your invitation cardsC) the time of your meeting with someoneD) all of the above50. The word “attached” in the third sentence of the first paragraph means ________.A) clung B) stuck C) given D) provided四、Translation（4 point for each ，20 points in total)1、I’m afraid it won’t be possible, but thank you very much anyway.2、Please come whenever it is your convenience.3、I’m terribly sorry, but I have made other plans.
