Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.(A)Food delivery apps are changing the way we eatIt’s raining, it’s dinnertime, and the fridge is nearly empty. Years ago, we made do; today, we order food through our phones. Within twenty minutes, we get whatever it was we were craving, we’re warm and dry, and there’s not a single dish to wash afterward.Food delivery apps have altered the __11__ of how eat, particularly in big cities. The industry is a complex machine; there’s Meituan, Ele.me, Hema…the list goes on. These companies are __12__ and changing at a rapid rate, bringing on the rise of virtual restaurants and ghost kitchens, and customers who will never step inside a brick-and-mortar shop（实体店）.Of course, these apps bring all types of cuisines around the city to our fingertips, but it comes at a cost. And one of the real environmental __13__ lies in all that plastic and excess food.In the US alone, packaging accounts for 30 percent of municipal solid waste. In 2017, that meant 80.1 million tons. Food delivery systems are likely __14__ this huge number to rise. Durable materials like the plastics serveware is made from, are difficulty to __15__ of.Restaurant delivery is a global phenomenon – as is the impact on the environment. Meituan, one of the leading Chinese delivery platforms, delivered 6.4 billion food orders in 2018. It is estimated that China __16__ 1.6 million tons of packaging waste(containers, utensils, plastic bags) in 2017, nine times more than in 2015.In the EU, University of Manchester researchers estimate, over two billion single-use takeaway containers are used every year. Most of those are not __17__. According to the European Commission, packaging, which includes plastic utensils, plates, and straws, make up 70% of all __18__ pollution found in European seas.Plastic bans, __19__ packaging materials, and other efforts to cut down on waste are on the rise. Food delivery apps should, too, do their part to raise awareness for plastic pollution and __20__ the gap between food waste and hunger.(B)a teacher of English, __21__ in reading and writing difficulties. She has written many educational books for children aged 3-11.Nicola Morgan’s novels for teens range from historical to modern-day to sci-fi futuristic settings, and the subject __22__ is equally diverse: serious medical conditions; government corruption; brainwashing cults; 18th-century highwaymen; the dangers of the Internet.Most of the novels are gripping psychological thrillers. Morgan offers readers a challenging but satisfying read, with thought-provoking novels that teenagers can get their teeth into. There is also a cross-over __23__ that attracts adult readers.Her first book, Mondays Are Red(2002) is a highly __24__ novel with an unusual storyline: 14-year-old Luke wakes from a coma caused by meningitis to discover he has synaesthesia, a rare condition in which sensory perceptions become heightened and mixed, for example, hearing colours or tasting sounds. And most frightening of all is the existence of Dreeg, a strange presence in Luke’s mind who encourages him to commit evil actions. Morgan thus crafts a modern-day Faustian tale in which Luke is in awe of the power that Dreeg offers him, and __25__ unaware of the way in which this power is corrupting him and causing trouble to those around him.The style of this remarkable and ambitious novel helps to convey the altered sense of reality. Luke’s experiences are __26__ in a vivid, multi-sensory prose which has been highly rated: Morgan also makes her characters real and sympathetic to readers by __27__ the story in a more recognizable reality: for example, Luke also suffers from more ordinary __28__ problems such as falling in love and sibling rivalry.Blame My Brain(2005) is a non-fiction book, about the workings of the teenage brain, and was shortlisted for the Aventis Prize for Science Books (Junior). She has also written The Leaving Home Survival Guide(2005); Know Your Brain, showing how brains work differently and how to help your brain to work well(2007); and Reality Check: Curses(2008). Her recent book of non-fiction is a book for writers __29__ Write to be Published(2011).Nicola Morgan is an active visitor to schools, __30__ of reading, and is Chair of the Society of Authors in Scotland. She lives in Edinburgh now.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A Cloze (1’ 30 =30’)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Certainty: Over-rated and Over-rewardedType the words “kind of” or “perhaps” into an email in Microsoft Outlook and the program might well tell you to think again. If the Al-powered “Microsoft Editor” judges that you are not sounding __31__ enough, it will soon give you a word of warning: “Words expressing uncertainty will __32__ your impact.”To me, this suggestion precisely expresses something we’ve got wrong in society. We live in a world that __33__ those who speak with confidence—even when that is misplaced—and gives very little opportunity to perform to those who __34__ doubt. “We tend to listen to those experts who tell us a simple, clear and confident story. Why? Because that’s __35__ satisfying,” says Dan Gardner, author of Future Babble, “That’s saying ‘let me sweep away the uncertainty for you’.”Research shows that the human brain is “programmed” to hate __36__: a 2016 study found that when volunteers were given electric shocks, their stress levels were highest when they had no idea whether they were going to be given a shock—higher even than subjects who were told they would __37__ get one.We should first know that while confident-sounding experts might be giving us what our brains desire, the __38__ they are providing is probably false. Psychologist Philip Tetlock divided up forecasters into “foxes” and “hedgehogs”. Foxes consider all sorts of different approaches and perspectives, and combine those into distinct conclusions. __39__, hedgehogs tend to view the world through the lens of one single defining idea. That makes the hedgehogs __40__ forecasters but more likely to get attention.Perhaps we care less about the truth and more about enjoying some sense of __41__ however short-lived that might be. But wouldn’t it be better if we held experts to account? Mr. Gardner suggests tagging speakers with some kind of record of previous __42__ much as we are given performance statistics for racehorses or baseball players.Highly confident statements also __43__ polarization (两极化), encouraging others to respond in the same kind of language when they disagree. “There’s a natural tendency to push back with equal amounts of __44__, says Daniel Drezner, a political scientist.Is it time to give a bit more attention to the __45__? Full of certainty on the need to stop paying so much attention to those expressing certainty, I say yes.31. A. timid B. reasonable C. decisive D. mature32. A. assess B. reverse C. enhance D. lessen33. A. rewards B. relaxes C. confuses D. weakens34. A. eliminate B. acknowledge C. emphasize D. conceal35. A. physically B. psychologically C. politically D. professionally36. A. uncertainty B. confidence C. dishonesty D. stress37. A. readily B. fortunately C. definitely D. probably38.

A. achievement B. responsibility C. security D. justice42. A. approaches B. attention C. predictions D. significance43. A. prohibit B. promote C. sacrifice D. separate44. A. firmness B. encouragement C. carefulness D. statement45. A. foxes B. hedgehogs C. forecasters D. scientists(B)In December, 43-year-old doctoral researcher Nina Jane Patel put on a headset and entered Meta’s virtual world to see what was happening that day. “Within seconds of being there, there were three avatars (虚拟替身) near me,” she says. “Suddenly they were taking selfies … I couldn’t see at first that they were touching the avatar’s upper body … They were yelling at me, ‘Don’t ___46___ you don’t like it, this is what you came for.’”The incident took place in the metaverse(元宇宙) — an immersive virtual world accessed via wearable technology — in which tech groups expect us to spend a far greater proportion of time in the future, both playing and, ___47___, working.When it comes to___48___, however, it is unclear what rules of engagement apply in a universal digital realm. What counts as harassment(骚扰) in the metaverse? Can an avatar be___49___ against, or worse? Will national legislation protect employees or does working in the metaverse require a(n)___50___ rule book altogether?The global workforce has grown far more accustomed to working ___51___ in the past two years because of the Covid-19 pandemic and companies have already started experimenting with virtual reality in the workplace. Hilton hotel group, for example, uses it to train staff on how to handle guests. And last year Microsoft, in its first step towards ___52___ the physical and digital worlds of work, began rolling out a plan to enable workers to appear on its Teams collaboration software as avatars.But the metaverse takes hybrid working a step further, and brings with it a host of tricky employment law issues. These range from practical challenges, such as how are employees paid, to more ___53___ ones, like whether avatars have a legal identity.The physical world of work is regulated by ___54___ legal frameworks. In California, for example, workers can be fired with no notice, while in Holland, employees generally cannot be sacked without ___55___ from the court or Dutch employment agency. In the metaverse, ___56___, the national employment law that applies is not immediately obvious.“In one sense, the metaverse is just another platform. And the fundamental principles of an employment relationship ___57___ regardless of platform,” says Jonathan Chamberlain, a partner at Gowling WLG. “Arguably, in the era of Teams and Zoom, many of us are already in it. But the employment relationship has until relatively recently been largely geographically ___ 58___; employment law is still largely country or state specific. You often cannot ___59___ your country’s statutory(法定的) employment protection system even if you — or your boss — wanted to.”So far, no one has decided what legal framework should apply to a decentralised digital workspace, in which workers may be mobile, and geographically ___60___ from each other and the company they work for.46. A. decide B. pretend C. reject D. hesitate47. A. crucially B. expectedly C. relatively D. deliberately48. A. corporate images B. virtual interactionsC. employment lawsD. public regulations49. A. voted B. prejudiced C. fought D. weighed50. A. outdated B. universal C. justified D. new51. A. diligently B. efficiently C. cooperatively D. remotely52. A. integrating B. distinguishing C. restoring D. eliminating53. A. concrete B. philosophical C. academic D. emotional54. A. national B. comprehensive C. flexible D. global55. A. grant B. protest C. approval D. support56. A. therefore B. however C. moreover D. otherwise57. A. fade away B. remain hollow C. come up D. hold true58. A. fixed B. labelled C. agreed D. signed59. A. come up with B. opt out of C. get away with D. go in for60. A. oriented B. dependent C. joined D. disconnectedSection B (2’ 15 = 30’)Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Tens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the rocks at one of France’s most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations.The mountain, believed to have once been a site for prayer and worship, has 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows, cultivated fields and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti(涂鸦).Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, ‘People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues as this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.’He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even chop off parts to take home as souvenirs.“When people think they can’t take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors can’t see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.”But experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours.Clottes disagrees. “The measure proposed by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said. “The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.”61.What does the pronoun “they” (in the last sentence of paragraph 1) refer to?A. The rocks.B. The French Alps.C. The drawings.D. The tourist sites.62.Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain __________.A. do not believe the drawings are oldB. believe they are allowed to paint thereC. think the drawings should be left aloneD. assume the drawings will not change63.Henry de Lumley is keen to __________.A. set up research projectsB. safeguard public rightsC. keep out individual visitorsD. ban traffic in the area64.Clottes disagrees to Henry de Lumley’s suggestion because he thinks ___________________.A. he has a better ideaB. it is unlikely to workC. visitors will protest against itD. it will annoy local people(B)We understand that in light of the latest government CORONA VIRUS TRA VEL ADVICE, your travel plans will be changing.

Advance tickets purchased after Jan. 4th can also be rescheduledB. passengers with a fixed timetable are advised to buy Anytime ticketsC. safer approaches to refund have been introduced to limit physical contactD. service from another train company is not available if your train get cancelled(C)An argument will break down if one of the premises is not true or if the conclusion does not logically follow from them. For example, consider this argument:The deer population in our state should be preserved. During the hunting season hundreds of deer are killed. Therefore, the hunting season should be discontinued.To challenge this argument, the state’s wildlife commission might agree with both the major and minor premises but question whether the conclusion follows logically from them. True, the deer population should be preserved; true, deer are killed during the hunting season. However, in a state where deer have no natural enemies, herds become too large for the natural forest vegetation to support them. The overpopulated herds eat the leaves of the young trees, killing the trees, before dying of starvation themselves. The commission might conclude, therefore, that a limited hunting season helps preserve a healthier and more stable population of deer.People who already agree with you need no persuasion, although a well-argued case for their own point of view is always welcome. But indifferent and doubting people will tend to resist your argument because they have minds of their own. To convince them, you will need to refute(驳斥) opposing arguments.To give up a position that seems reasonable, the arguer has to see that there is an even more reasonable one. In addition to presenting your own case, review the chief arguments of the other side and explain what you think is wrong with them.It is the best way to deal with the other side. Often it is useful to summarize the opposing position. Sometimes a better plan is to anticipate objections as you develop your detailed reasons for your argument. Wherever you decide to deal with opposing arguments, do your best to refute them.As you refute opposition arguments, try to establish common ground with readers who at first do not agree with your views. If you can show that you share their values, they may be able to switch to your position without giving up what they feel is important. For example, to persuade people emotionally opposed to shooting helpless deer, a state wildlife commission would have to show that it too cares about preserving deer and does not want them to die needlessly. Having established these values in common, the commission might be able to persuade people that a carefully controlled hunting season is good for the deer population because it prevents starvation caused byover-population. However, if those opposed to hunting want to persuade the commission to ban the hunting season, they would need to show that the commission could achieve its goals by some other means, such as expanding the deer preserve or allowing the deer and the food supply to come into a natural balance.68.What does the underlined word “premises” mean in the first paragraph?A. establishmentsB. commercialsC. assumptionsD. prejudices69.By killing some deer, we __________.A. have the hunting seasonB. make the hunters happyC. protect the rest of the herdsD. create their natural enemies70.It is suggested that you __________ before refuting the opposing argument.A. present your case firstB. summarize the position of the other sideC. review your own viewsD. pretend to be indifferent71.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. One may give up a position when he sees a more reasonable one.B. You’d better anticipate the possible objections before you give your reasons.C. Deer should be preserved but overpopulation will do harm to them.D. Those opposed to hunting don’t have good reasons.Sixty miles south, in Cusco, Hiram Bingham gazed thoughtfully at the old Incan stone wall. He had come to this place in search of Vilcapampa, the lost city of the Inca. But right here was the most beautiful stonework he had ever seen—huge stones cut so perfectly that not even a razor blade (刀片) could be slipped between them.The Inca had no iron tools to carve them, no wheel or animals to move them. The wall had endured time and earthquakes. 72__________It was a mystery.He walked through the cobbled(卵石) streets of the old capital, Cusco. The Spanish had come to this city, conquered the Inca, taken their gold, and built churches over their temples. Suddenly, he stopped. Before him was the famous Temple of the Sun. He placed his hands on the sun-warmed stones so beautifully carved, as if they had grown together.73__________ Would it hold gold and riches like the Spanish had found in Cusco? More than ever he was determined to find that city.The next day Bingham began his search. He would look for ruins—that might be the key. He and his party, accompanied by the military man Sergeant Carrasco, left for the holy valley of the Urubamba River. They came to the sleepy old village in the valley, long ago an important city.“Are there any ruins nearby?” Bingham asked. “Do you know of the lost city of Vilcapampa?” No one knew of it. Traveling north, the adventurers came upon a remote and wild canyon (峡谷). In the distance were snowcapped mountains over three miles high. 74__________ Bingham’s determination to find the lost city grew with each turn of the increasingly wild path.Far below in the valley, Bingham’s party camped on a sandy beach alongside the thundering rapids of the Urubamba River. Days had gone by. No one knew of any ruins.75__________This time, through the interpreter, the farmer said, “Yes. There are very good ruins on top of the mountain called Machu Picchu.” The farmer pointed straight up.“Can you take us there?” Bingham asked.第II卷Section A (2’ ⨯10 = 20’)Directions: Fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given verbs.Dr Stewart Adams, the man who discovered ibuprofen(布洛芬，退烧药), died on January 30, 2019, at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham. He was 95. The following was taken from an interview with him about how his discovery of ibuprofen came about.It was about 2:30 pm on Tuesday December 19, 1961, __1__ there was a knock on the door. A technician entered the office of Dr Stewart Adams at Boots’ research laboratories in Nottingham with the latest data from ongoing trials. It was just __2__ he wanted to see.

This was the first indication __3__ the research, begun five years earlier, might pay off.The year 1956 __4__(be) the beginning of the search for a drug that would relieve rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿关节炎), traditionally treated with large doses of aspirin. Dr Adams had a hunch(直觉，预感) about __5__ compounds to test and narrowed them down over five years.A group of compounds called carboxyls(羧基) __6__(prove) particularly interesting to Dr Adams’ team. His colleague, John Nicholson, found a number, but one caught their attention. Dr Adams said: “Of several hundred, we picked out the best, sent it for clinical trial – but it wasn’t active in rheumatoid arthritis.”It was a major setback for Dr Adams and his colleagues, but they were undiminished in their determination. The researchers made a slight chemical modification to the compounds and moved into a new group of compounds, propionics(丙酸), __7__ were discovered by Boots.Of all the compounds, Compound 1472 had produced little or no inflammation during a test carried out. A similar test __8__(run) two days later using the same compound, 1472. As modest doses were stepped up, there was still no or reduced inflammation. Drug development takes time and is expensive. It was 30 months __9__ ibuprofen became a product candidate at Boots.During the 1970s Boots tested ibuprofen for further properties and it was marketed for dental pain, period pain and headaches. In 1983, it became the first drug to move from prescription only to over-the-counter. The big smile arrived when ibuprofen was approved for sale over-the-counter by the Food and Drug Agency in the United States __10__ the need for a doctor’s prescription. It was to rank alongside aspirin and paracetamol(对乙酰氨基酚) for its properties as an analgesic(止痛) and is regarded as more effective.Section B (2’ ⨯ 10 = 20’)Directions: Complete the following sentences with the help of the Chinese given.11.Cristiano Ronaldo urged his long-time rival Lionel Messi to ____________________(将体能推到极限，push)and play the next World Cup.12.The animated version of The Three-Body Problem, which ____________________(改编自畅销科幻小说，adapt), met mixed responses from the audience since its release in December.13.This year, Hangzhou will host a series of Southern Song-themed activities and exhibitions to____________________(重现宋朝文化，bring) and help residents explore citywide cultural heritages and。

The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help the common cold and other illnesses. Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness increasing immune(免疫的) function and subjective as in happy people being less by a scratchy throat or runny nose. “People with a positive emotional style may have different immune to the virus,” explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carne gie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may their illness as being less severe.”Cohen and his colleagues had found in a study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional tendency itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality tendency, health-consciousness and emotional “style”. Those who be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, those who were often unhappy, tense and unfriendly had a negative style. The researchers gave them drops through their noses either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had, while the researchers collected data, like daily mucus(黏液) production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes(鼻部的不适), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.【1】A．Living B．Staying C．Pulling D．Surviving【2】A．safeguard B．opportunity C．caution D．defense【3】A．excluded B．explored C．exposed D．escaped【4】A．generally B．commonly C．frequently D．perfectly【5】A．change B．fall C．turn D．remain【6】A．keep B．avoid C．deny D．remove【7】A．suffered B．troubled C．disturbed D．hinted【8】A．function B．ability C．response D．action【9】A．think B．relate C．interpret D．translate【10】A．formal B．current C．previous D．precious【11】A．tended to B．opposed to C．used to D．stuck to【12】A．while B．however C．what’s more D．therefore【13】A．implying B．matching C．containing D．occupying【14】A．patients B．adults C．volunteers D．researchers 【15】A．objective B．impressive C．positive D．effective三、阅读理解1.What I like to advise people is to find out what it is that makes them happy. What do you love to do? If you truly love what you do just go ahead and try to make a living by doing it. People will throw money at you to do it. But you will always have to work hard at it. I have to draw every single day of my life. I have to draw about 20 ideas. My advice is to put aside a certain amount of time every day and make you draw or whatever, especially when you don’t feel like it. Only in this way will you be able t o perfect your talent.The first step you take is to go to your local library and ask for the publications issued in the current years. When you get these publications, try to find the names of the top people concerned and their presidents. After you find these, write down their names and addresses. Keep this list and update it every year. Next thing you want to do is to create at least 40 cartoons. Get a grid（格子） from one of the strips in the newspapers, enlarge it to whatever size you wish and draw inside this grid. Now take the best 20 of your ideas and make them into finished pieces. To do this, you would want to copy them in ink because if you were a professional cartoonist, that was what you should do. Now you can reduce the size of the finished cartoo ns to fit onto a regular comic’s page. By comparing yours with the others already in print, it gives you a good idea of clarity to your cartoon.The next step is to write letters to presidents of the publication. In the letters, explain who you think would read your work, or in other words, what group do you think you would target. After you complete these, send all of your information enclosed with letters in the appropriate envelope.Now as soon as you send out these letters, start to create a brand new s trip with all new characters. Don’t get married to one idea because if your idea gets turned down then you will give up. And always remember. If you receive a rejection from any of them, keep in mind that you are working on something better. You will be working on something new and more exciting and the rejection letter will not have any impact. With this in mind…【1】What is the advice from the writer in the first paragraph when you want to succeed in your life?A．Stop doing anything until you find something quite suitable for your future career.B．Put aside a certain amount of time every day to consider how to make a living.C．Make a living by something that you truly like to do as your profession and work hard at it.D．Perfect your talent only by drawing some cartoons.【2】The purpose of writing a letter to the president was to ____.A．get some money to support the later careerB．enclose the information on how to become cartoonists with the letterC．focus his attention on the workD．explain who would be the readers of the work【3】The underlined phrase “get married to one idea” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______. A．having a strong desire to get marriedB．fixing all attention on one ideaC．marrying someone is a good ideasD．refusing one idea to get married2.Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means t hat other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers（阴沟） to handle waste, arid water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.【1】Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage? A．It is extremely important to develop tourism.B．Building roads and hotels is essential.C．Support facilities are highly necessary.D．Planning is of great importance to tourism.【2】Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. A change of tourists’ customsC. overcrowdedness of places of interest【3】It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will _____.A．use up a large amount of waterB．weaken their economyC．help establish their traditionsD．help improve their life3.Every time you go to the supermarket you come away with your purchases packed in plastic bags. But wouldn’t it be kinder to the environment if you asked for paper bags instead?The answer is not as easy as it might seem. Environmentalists say there are drawbacks to using both plastic bags and paper bags.80 percent of groceries in the US are packed in plastic bags and the numbers are becoming huge. Consumers use between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags per year worldwide.Some experts believe that all these bags harm the environment. Plastic takes hundreds of years to break down and, as it does so, poisonous materials are released into the water and soil.Further damage is caused if plastic bags enter the sea. For example, endangered sea turtles cannot tell the bags from jellyfish, their main source of food, and often choke on them.However, this kind of bag does have its advantages.Paper bags use more energy and create more waste than plastic bags. Plastic bags require 40 percent less energy to produce and cause 70 percent less air pollution. They also release as much as 94 percent less waste into the water than paper ones do.But paper bags do break down more quickly than plastic bags. They don’t endanger wildlife, either.So what should we do? One p ossible solution would be to use biodegradable plastic bags. “Biodegradable” means that the bags break down naturally just like a piece of banana peel when it is left outside.But until biodegradable technology improves, it might be easier to pack things you buy in reusable cloth bags. 【1】Compared to paper bags, plastic bags ______.A．produce 6 percent more wasteB．can be made biodegradable more easilyC．can be used as a source of foodD．save 40 percent of the energy【2】By saying “The answer is not as easy as it might seem,” (in paragraph 2) the writer means _____.A. biodegradable plastic bags can compete with paperB. paper bags seem to be kind to environmentC. it’s difficult to say whether plastic or paper bags are better for the environment【3】What does the author suggest people use at the present time?A．Paper bagsB．Plastic bagsC．Biodegradable plastic bags.D．Cloth bags.四、其他1.The scientists observed that the more junk food the rats ate, the more they wanted to eat – a behavior very similar to that of rats addicted(上了瘾的) to heroin, a dangerous drug. Johnson said the experiment shows that the brain chemistry of obesity(肥胖) and drug addiction may be quite similar.In their experiment, Johnson and his team studied the “pleasure center” of rats’ brains. The pleasure center is a complicated network of nerve cells. If the animal exercises or eats, the cells reward the animal by releasing chemicals into the body that make it feel good. And when the body feels good, the animal – or person – will want to do the behavior again.For the experiment, Johnson fed foods like cheesecake to one group of rats. Food like this is high in calories and fat. Another group of rats got a regular diet. The rats that ate junk food started to eat more and more.“They’re taking in twice the amount of calories as the control rats,” says Paul Kenny, one of Johnson’s colleagues.Kenny and Johnson wanted to know what was going on in the brains of these rats. They first designed a way to deliver a small electrical charge to the rats’ brains. This electrical charge would stimulate the pleasure centers to release pleasure-causing chemicals. The rats could control how much stimulation – and how much pleasure –they received by running on a wheel. The more the rat ran, the more pleasure it received.The rats that had been eating junk food started running more and more. This behavior suggested that the junk-food-eating rats needed more brain stimulation to feel good compared with rats on a normal diet. In other words, their pleasure centers were becoming less sensitive and the junk food didn’t make them feel good unless they ate more and more.Experiments like this one could help scientists understand how chemicals in the brain contribute to obesity. With that information, they may be able to help people avoid obesity in the first place.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)【1】The scientists suggested it was actually ___________________ that made the rats feel good.【2】How did the scientist know what was happening in the brains of the junk-food-eating rats?【3】What was the purpose of the experiment mentioned in the article?2.Fill in the blanks with the proper forms of given words.

The film evoked an extensive 26 on education. 27 at the conservative Welton Academy in the northeast United States in 1959, and it tells the story of an English teacher who inspires his students through his teaching of poetry.In the autumn of 1959, Neil begins his senior year of high school at Welton Academy, an all- male, elite school. On the first day of classes, they are 28 by the unorthodox (非正统的) teaching methods of the new English teacher John Keating,a Welton alumnus who encourages his students to “make your lives 29 ”, a sentiment he summarized with the Latin expression carpe diem. Subsequent lessons include having them take turns standing on his desk to teach the boys how they must look at life in a different 30 , telling them to tear off the introduction of their poetry books which explains a mathematical formula used for rating poetry, and inviting them to make up their own style of walking in a courtyard to encourage them to maintain 31 . As the school year progresses, Keating’s lessons and their 32 in a secret poetry club encourage them to live their lives on their own terms.However, Keating’s methods at tract the attention of strict headmaster Gale Nolan. He is fired and Nolan takes over teaching the class. Keating interrupts the class to collect personal articles before he leaves, the students shout that all of them were forced to sign the letter that resulted in his 33 .

Is Princeton able to produce more geniuses upon graduation?High-ranking colleges in global education leagues attract greater talent in staff and students, and 37 better facilities, therefore generating more profits. In the United States, however, this virtuous cycle can turn vicious when financially-challenged parents end up spending their life savings on their children’s educat ion, while 38 individuals can simply buy their way in. Besides, these rankings face criticism for potentially influencing colleges to make minor adjustments in 39 to improve their position on the table.I didn’t care about college rankings for years un til I recently saw something different. This past October, Shanghai Ranking Consultancy 40 the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2023, which assesses universities worldwide across 55 subjects in five disciplines. It is said to employ a more in-depth 41 to evaluate the performance of universities. And this makes it easier for prospective students to choose the best college for their specific subject. But how much weight should you give to these rankings?In my opinion, college rankings can serve as a reference, offering a 42 into the reputation and strengths of institutions. However, they should not be the only determining factor for you. There are many aspects to a university education that can only be 43 when you are clear about your goals.I once taught a three-month program to prepare university students for overseas exchange programs in England. But some of them displayed low 44 . It wasn’t merely due to a language barrier. These individuals seemed to lack communication skills, critical thinking and, more importantly, a 45 of purpose, which might help determine their future academic quality. After all, what lies in the heart of education is “U” .“Blame My Brain” by Nicola Morgan, reviewed by Rosalie WarrenAs someone who constantly blames my brain for all sorts of things (not my fault — my brain didit!), I was _______ by the title of Nicola Morgan’s book and only slightly disappointed to learn that it was _______ teenagers. Since I have many days when I feel that I am barely out of my teens (though the mirror, sadly, does not bear this out), I decided that the book might still be relevant to me, and indeed to my relationships with my no-longer-teenage children.The subtitle is “The amazing teenage brain revealed” and amazing is, I soon _______, exactly what the teenage brain is. I learned that one of the things that _______ to the brain in our early teenage years is a flurry of growth of the dendrites (connections between neurons), followed a few years later by a major pruning session where many of the relatively unused connections are culled and the remaining ones are strengthened and coated with a fatty myelin layer ready for adult life. Not_______, all this activity is not without its downside for the person “within”, and it goes along w ay towards _______ why teenagers can be so difficult to live with and to cope with themselves.There are also brain-based explanations of why teenagers need so much sleep, why they don’t tidy their rooms, why they come _______ when the rest of the world is going to sleep and why some of them, at least, are risk-takers. There’s stuff about alcohol and drugs and why such things are not good for the brain, but all of it is written in a very _______ and understanding way that I think teenagers will warm to.Nicola Morgan is not a neurologist or a _______ scientist, but she clearly had done a great deal of research and ________ experts including Professor Simon Baron-Cohen and Professor Susan Greenfield, among many other eminent names in the field. Morgan has a gift for simplifying and explaining ________ subject matter with a light but precise touch, and she is careful to ________ between established facts and theories and speculations of her own and other people’s.There’s plenty of humour and a good few well-deserved digs at the stupidity of parents and other well-meaning but misguided adults, which teenagers will ________. There are diagrams, tests, photos relating to questions like What emotions can you recognize? Do you ________ other emotions with anger? What kind of thinker are you? Which mental tasks do you find comparatively easy or difficult? There’s also sound advice for addiction, self-harm, depression and other ________ illnesses, and some pointers towards recognizing when you may need to seek help.The illustrations by Andy Baker are great, too.

The line moved slowly, a somber procession of gaunt (瘦削憔悴的) faces and threadbare coats. When her turn came, the ration officer handed her the allotted food with a detached efficiency. “Two loaves, half a pound of sugar, and a tin of powdered milk,” he recited. The portions seemed to shrink each week, mirroring the dwindling hope in people’s hearts.Clutching her meager supplies, Emma hurried through the bombed-out streets, dodging craters and debris. The city, once vibrant and bustling, now lay in a hushed surrender to scarcity and fear. At home, her family’s small garden offered a sharp contrast to the desolation around. H ere, amidst the rows of struggling vegetables, her father toiled.“Dad, let me help,” Emma offered, taking the shovel from his weary hands. Together, they dug into the earth, creating a hidden cache for extra food. It was a secret they guarded fiercely, knowing that in times of shortage, even neighbors could turn against each other out of desperation.As they worked, Emma’s mind wandered to the days before the war, when food was abundant and their garden was a source of joy, not just survival. She remembered her mother’s cooking, the aromas that filled their kitchen, the laughter that accompanied their meals. Now, each bite of their bland rations was a reminder of what had been lost.In the evenings, the family gathered around a small table, sharing their rationed food. Conversation flowed, weaving tales of better times, igniting sparks of hope. Emma’s younger brother, Tom, would often ask, “When will we have chocolate again?” It was a question loaded with longing, not just for the sweetness of chocolate but for the return of normalcy.Despite the hardship, they found reasons to smile. Emma’s father would recount stories from his youth, tales of adventure that seemed like fairy tales in their grim surroundings. Her mother would hum old tunes, filling their home with a semblance of warmth and normalcy.As winter deepened, the rations grew scarcer, and the hidden cache in the garden became their lifeline. Each day, Emma and her father would check the hole, ensuring their precious supplies were safe. The hole, a mere cavity in the ground, symbolized their resilience, a refusal to succumb to despair.61. How did the amount of weekly rations appear to change each week?A．Significantly increased B．Dramatically decreasedC．Remained the same D．Decreased each week62. What does the term “hidden cache” in the third paragraph refer to in the article?A．A treasure map B．A buried capsuleC．A secret food storage spot D．A mysterious box63.

Tom’s longing for chocolate is symbolic in the story. What does this longing represent?A．It’s a simple craving for a treat, unrelated to th e broader themes of the story.B．The desire for chocolate symbolizes a yearning for the comforts of life before the war.C．His wish for chocolate indicates his dislike for the food rationing and nothing more.D．It is a secret code used by the family to communicate about their hidden food.________/10 Hardship Judy May, 2020Early on I thought this family was a bunch of complainers. But the focus of this reality show is how sweet family life was in the tough wartime era, which really touched me.But as I watched I noted that the 1940s mid-class family life was not that unbearable. Even though they didn’t have labor-saving facilities, they still had coal fire. Maybe, it’s only due to modern people’s sense of privilege that they promptly forg et what immense, bodily labor was involved in the previous chore it replaced. So, the experiment was not that “real”?! Therefore, I recommend, but not highly, this show to you._________/10 Must See TV-Really! Lily June, 2021For anyone interested in “Reality TV” with an emphasis on “Real”, checkout 1940’s House as soon as you can. The Hymer family from northern England spends 9 weeks living the life of a suburban 1940’s house during the infamous London blitz. Everything they use, wear, purchase, read comes from that time period - including ration books, blackout curtains, Victory gardens, and a self-built bomb shelter.What makes this “House” installment the best in a long line (see “Frontier House”, “Colonial House”, “1900 House”) is the family’s willingness to immerse themselves in the project wholeheartedly. You as the viewer really begin to sympathize with the Hymer family’s struggles to live a 1940’s life with a 21st century mindset. I think most people will come away liking the attitude and spirit of the mother the best - she truly embodies the British spirit that was so essential and prevalent during England’s darkest hour.This is 3 hours of “history” that no one will want to end. Children would also enjoy this as there are 2 young boys (ages 10 and 7) who participate in the program wholeheartedly.________/10 A bit sinister David February, 2023Although it’s as well made as the other PBS reality shows, this one was disturbing. Many of the hardships imposed on the Hymers are by design, not circumstance. A committee of seven or eight experts privately judges them in a star chamber and decides how strict rationing will be and how much they will be fined for infractions. Watching the children go hungry while the experts debated how much to cut the food budget bothered me. The Hymers live more likelab rats than adventurers. It’s also hard to get worked up about how much wartime Britssuffered from rationing since it was nothing compared to the hardships undergone by eastern Europeans, Asians and even their own soldiers. The show was simply too narrow in scope and sinister.65. The ratings of these three users have been hidden. Which of the following three ratings do you think are most likely to be real?A．Judy: 6/10; Lily:3/10; David:1/10 B．Judy: 8/10; Lily:10/10; David:8/10C．Judy: 6/10; Lily:10/10; David:1/10 D．Judy: 8/10; Lily:1/10; David:8/1066. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．From Judy’s perspective, the Hymers family has always been a bu nch of complainers.B．The “House” series consist of “Frontier House”,” Colonial House” and “1900 House”.C．The mother personifies the essential British spirit so most people will like her.D．The PBS reality shows are quite disturbing, especially “The 1940s House”.67. The passage can probably be found ________.A．on a website providing reviews about reality showsB．on the advertisement of “The 1940s House”C．on a textbook about how to make excellent moviesD．in a fantasy novel about travelling back to the 1940sDear boss — You have always tried to attract young and youngish consumers, and our consultants have always come up with new ways to label them. I don’t need to remind you that “millennials” and, increasingly, “Gen Z” are our most important markets. The trouble is that coming up with rules to define a swathe of humanity is more art than science. It is liable to apply stereotypes. Luckily you have me, and I’m here to tell you that much of what is written about marketing to today’s most prized consumers is a myth.Social media has just changed the ways people discover brands from viewing television, newspapers and magazines to surfing Instagram and TikTok; it has weakened the power of marketing as a whole. Such is the ease with which digital natives can fact-check our tricky marketing claims that it is getting harder to build brand loyalty. Online, communication is cheap and prices are readily Googled.There is a similar temptation to think that physical shops no longer matter. Young consumers love their Amazon deliveries. But what works best is the seamless combination of the digital and physical worlds. Remember those online-only influencer-backed beauty brands like Glossier, which took the world by storm during the pandemic? It turns out that they struggle to get repeat business and have had to pair up with physical retailers. If we want to succeed, we need to offer the best of both physical and virtual worlds.Gen Z will consider a brand’s sustainability and social impact, but considering something isn’t surrendering to it. They are never brand-slaved. It is chiefly youngsters who buy cheap “fast-fashion” outfits to wear once and then send to landfill. Also, youngsters care less for consumer boycotts than its virtue-signaling parents, thus open to various brands. No wonder, most brands originate from youngsters with duel identities of producers and consumers.What determines the shopping mode of a generation is their mindset. In Gen Z, lies are easily exposed online, where everyone loves a takedown and hates hypocrisy. We are people just as our young customers are and people will always buy sincerity.68. What is the article primarily warning readers against in marketing?A．The excessive use of digital advertising and ignoring traditional media.B．The use of influencers and social media platforms for product promotion.C．Focusing solely on Gen Z without considering other demographic groups.D．Relying on outdated perceptions of young consumer behaviors.69. Why is it challenging to build brand loyalty among younger consumers in the digital age?A．Young consumers are less interested in brand loyalty.B．Digital natives can check out marketing claims.C．Young consumers prefer shopping in physical stores.D．Social media platforms are misguiding in brand establishment.70. What is suggested about the importance of physical stores in modern retailing?A．Physical stores are becoming obsolete due to the rise of e-commerce.B．Young consumers only prefer online shopping and home deliveries.C．A combination of digital and physical retail experiences is most effective.D．Physical stores should be completely replaced by digital marketing strategies.71. What’s the attitude of young consumers towards brands?A．They commit to social justice and boycott unethical brands.B．They consider a brand’s sustainability but are not controlled by it.C．They are indifferent to a brand’s quality and social influence.D．They only support brands that are created by their peers.More Than a FeelingCharles Darwin formulated the most successful theory in the history of biology: the theory of evolution. He was also responsible for another grand theory: the theory of emotion, which dominated his field for more than a century. Its core principle was that the mind consists of two competing forces: the rational and the emotional. 72We now know that, on the contrary, emotions enhance our process of reasoning and aid our decision-making. In fact, we can’t make decisions, or even think, without being influe nced by our emotions.73 Perhaps the most important discovery regarding the role of emotion is that even when you believe you are exercising cold, logical reason, you are not. People are not usually aware of this, but the very framework (框架) of their thought process is highly influenced by what they are feeling at the time - sometimes subtly (细微地).Consider anger, for example. Backed by the threat of attack, anger creates incentives (动机) for others to comfort the angry individual. Your mental calculations increase the importance you place on your own welfare and goals at the expense of others’. Coaches tap into anger as a motivational tool because the focus on the self encourages athletes to push themselves to achieve their goals. Anger also causes you to perceive less risk. 74The new view of emotion may not correspond to the way Darwin saw it, but it does support one of the basic conclusions of his theory of evolution. Humans are not as different from non-human animals as people believed. What can we learn from this? The first and most crucial step is self- awareness. 75 By studying our own emotions, we can read others’ better and communicate more effectively. Once we are in touch with our true feelings, we can take steps to manage them whenever it benefits.76. 能够在20世纪40年代生存 ________________77. 喜欢冒险并从中幸存 ________________78. 说了很多却没有抓住要领 ________________79. 经历了很多生理上的变化 ________________80. 给观众留下深刻印象 ________________81. 以农场为背景的实验性课堂 ________________82. 赢得他人尊重的最佳方式 ________________83. 朗读莎翁剧作中的一句引语 ________________84. 他努力尝试想要融入这群有冒险精神的少年中。

Laughter does __67__ short-term changes in the function of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to __68__, a good laugh is unlikely to have __69__ benefits the way, say , walking or jogging does.__70__, instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the __71__, studies dating back to the 1930's indicate that laughter __72__ muscles.Such bodily reaction might help moderate the effects of psychological stress.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.15AA is for always getting to work on time.B is for being extremely busy.C is for the conscientious (勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to se ll yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the game.”“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word ‘polite’. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”16In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form Of Socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis,’” says Neil P Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.81. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ________.A) the code of behavior for company staff17B) the political views and beliefs of office workersC) the interpersonal relationships within a companyD) the various qualities required for a successful career82. T o get promoted, one must not only be competent but ________.A) give his boss a good impression B) honest and loyal to his companyC) get along well with his colleagues D) avoid being too outstanding83. Why are many people unwilling to “play the game” (Line 4, Para. 5)?A) They believe that doing so is impractical.B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.C) They are not good at manipulating colleagues.D) They think the effort will get them nowhere.84. The author considers office politics to be ________.A) unwelcome at the workplace18B) bad for interpersonal relationshipsC) indispensable to the development of company cultureD) an important factor for personal advancement85. It is the author’s view that _______.A) speaking up for oneself is part of human natureB) self-promotion does not necessarily mean flatteryC) hard work contributes very l ittle to one’s promotionD) many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery( B )As Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be avoided, according to computer science professor Stuart Russell, if we figure out how to turn human values into a programmable code.Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language.19For example, if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children. “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values,” said Russell.Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s th e kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do.It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules.Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are careless.The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo（禁忌）.One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation.If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has20the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for directions from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral, and how to create a set of ethical rules. But if we come up with an answer, robots could be good for humanity.86. What does the author say about the threat of robots?A)It may constitute a challenge to computer progranmers.B)It accompanies all machinery involving high technology.C)It can be avoided if human values are translated into their language.D)It has become an inevitable peril as technology gets more sophisticated.87. What would we think of a person who invades our personal space according to the author?A)They are aggressive.B)They are outgoing.C)They are ignorant.21D)They are ill-bred.88. How do robots learn human values?A)By interacting with humans in everyday life situations.B)By following the daily routines of civilized human beings.C)By picking up patterns from massive data on human behavior.D)By imitating the behavior of property brought-up human beings.89. What will a well-programmed robot do when facing an unusual situation?A)keep a distance from possible dangers.B)Stop to seek advice from a human being.C)Trigger its built-in alarm system at once.D)Do sufficient testing before taking action.90. What is most difficult to do when we turn human values into a programmable code?A)Determine what is moral and ethical.22B)Design some large-scale experiments.C)Set rules for man-machine interaction.D)Develop a more sophisticated program.上海交通大学附属中学2019届高一分班考（英语）（答案）II．Grammar and Vocabulary1—10 BDCBA BBCAD11—20 CBAAB BDACC21—30 BADDA CBBCD31—40 AAACB ABCBC41—50 DABBC CDCDC51—55 BDABCII. 56—6523ABC BD D AD BC C E A AB BIII 66--80CDBAB ADABC DADACIV. 每题两分81—85 CABDB86—90 CDCBA24。

Each word canOne recent study showed the benefits to your brain that learning a language can have and how to improve your brain’s ability to learn English. But what are the best ways to actually go about learning English?Learning a language is markedly different from 31 historical facts or solving a complicated maths problem. As a result. you may need to decide which of the following 32 work to improve your English learning.Talk it outYou’re never going to do well in English unless you practice using it 33 . If you have a classmate, friend or family member who already speaks the language fluently, ask them to help you. This gives you the 34 to hear how words and phrases should be spoken. In addition. if you have difficulty with pronunciation, then a study buddy can help you with these problems.Write it downWhether you’re travelling on the bus or train, or watch ng television with your family,Study habits of effective studentsThe key to becoming an effective student is learning how to study smarter, not harder. While some students are able to breeze through school with minimal effort, the vast 41 of successful students achieve their success by applying effective study habits. The following are some of the study habits 42 by successful students.1.Don’t attempt to 43 all of your study into one period of time.Ever find yourself up late at night spending more energy trying to keep your eyelids open than you are studying? If so, It’s time for a change. Successful students 44 divide their work over shorter periods of time. If you want to become a successful student, then you need to learn to be consistent in your studies and to have 45 , but shorter, study periods.2.Plan when you’re going to study.Successful students schedule specific times throughout the week when they are going to study--and then they 46 to their schedule. Even is you’re all caught up with studies,setting as idea period of time a few days a week to review your courses will help you develop habits that will enable you to succeed in your education in the long term.3.Make sure you concentrate on your studyEveryone gets 47 by something. Maybe it’s the TV. Or maybe it’s your family. Or maybe it’s just too quiet. Some people actually study better with a little background noise. When you’re not paying attention while studying, you either lose your train of thought or are unable to focus--both of which will lead to very 48 studying. Before you start studying, find a place where you won’t be disturbed..4.Review your notes, schoolwork and other class materials over the weekend.Successful students review what they’ve learned during the week over the weekend. This way they’ve well 49 to continue learning new concepts that build upon previous coursework and knowledge 50 the previous week.We’re confident that if you develop the habits out in ed above, you’ll see a major improvement in your academic performance.三、完形填空A recent article in The Wall Street journal says that Chinese students in American universities are not getting the most out of their educational opportunities. The article saysChinese companies want to hire “haigui” like Jocelyn. Ken Chen of a consulting firm in Shanghai says an American college education teaches you how to socialize, develop your 61 and know how to think and solve problems. Mr. Chen says these are the kinds of people he is looking for.An American education isn’t 62 , though. It can cost as much as U.S. $200,000 for a four-year program. But Charlotte Fan, a graduate of Duke University from Shanghai, says the 63 was worth it. She’s now working for an American company and, in the Wall Street Journal article, is quoted as saying. “I’ve learned a lot and changed a lot in college, not just to learn knowledge, but more importantly the way of thinking, creativity, communication—the soft skills you never learn from 64 but learn from day-to-day life and from interacting with all the smart kids around you in school.

They are 66 . Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 67 it. Creativity isn’t always 68 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and intheir free time often 69 creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.Making connections! This technique involves taking 70 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea or words 71 with candles: light, fire, matches, night, silence, etc. The next stage is to relate the 72 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original 73 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t 74 . You have as much time, space, money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 75 . If your goal is to learn to ski, 76 , you can now practise skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now 77 this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 78 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the 79 in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal 80 other people, put yourself in their positions.

I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me me ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time ,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it.One june 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reachen 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air ballon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.81．What happened to the author in 2001?A．She flew an airplaneB．She entered a competitionC．She went on a hot air balloon rideD．She moved into a retirement communityA．build up her own reputationB．show her admiration for himC．compare their health conditonD．make her argument persuasive83．How did the authou feel immediately after she jumped out of the plane?A．Excited B．Scared C．Nervous D．Regretful 84．What did the author enjoy most when she was skydiving?A．The beautiful clouds B．The wonderful viewC．The company of Jay D．The one-minute free fallWELCOMEWelcome to Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world.

Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer and creatorof Holmes, met Dr. Bell in 1877 at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. Conan Doyle was studying to be a doctor and Bell was one of his professor.Bell was 39 years old when Conan Doyle first attended one of his lectures. He is said to have walked with great energy. His nose and chin were angular and his eyes twinkled with intelligent humor. Bell, who was a brilliant doctor, liked writing poetry, playing sport and bird-watching.By the end of Conan Doyle’s second year, Bell had selected him to serve as his assistant. Being on award with Bell, where he had plenty of opportunity to observe, only increased Conan Dovle’s admiration for the great doctor. Amongst other things he was able to witness Dr. Bell’s remarkable ability to quickly deduce (推断) a great deal about the patient.Dr. Bell observed the way a person moved. The walk of a sailor, who had spent many years at sea, varied greatly from that of a soldier. If he identified a personas a sailor, he would look for any tattoos (纹身) that might assist him in knowing where their travels had taken them. He trained himself to listen differences in his patients accents to help him identify where they were from. Bell studied the hands of his patients because calluses (老茧) or other marks could help him determine their occupation.Conan Doyle published the first Ho lanes story in 1887. His innovation in creating a character that would appear over and over in a series of self-contained stories meant that Holmes s popularity grew with each book. Perhaps the most famous was The Hound of the Baskervilies, which has been made into several films. Soon the character was so beloved that people refused to believe he wasn’t a real person: letters addressed to “Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective” arrived daily at Baker Street and Scotland Yard, each begging him take on a real case.88．What can be learned about Dr Joseph Bell from the passage?A．He used to be a famous detective B．He first created Sherlock HolmesC．He took interest in a variety of things D．He looked serious and unapproachable 89．In Paragraph 4, the author talks mainly about ________.A．how Dr Joseph Bell got to be liked by patientsB．what kind of patients Dr Joseph Bell was good at treatingC．what contribution Dr Joseph Bell did to Conan Doyle’s bookD．how Dr Joseph Bell got clues about patients through observation90．Why did the author mention letter addressed to Sherlock Holmes in the last paragraph?A．To illustrate how popular Sherlock Holmes wasB．To tell readers where Sherlock Holmes actually lived.C．To show why readers refused to believe in Conan DoyleD．To present away Sherlock Holmes drew people’s attention91．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Dr Joseph Bell: the man who w role Sherlock HolmesB．How Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes?C．Sherlock Holmes: the man who lives foreverD．Was Sherlock Holmes a real person?If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effects are greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language.” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and math skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible” he said, “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned Englishas a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.92．The main subject of this passage is ________.A．the strategy for learning a second languageB．men’s ability to learn a second languageC．how language leaning helps brainpowerD．the relationship between language learning and math study93．In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.A．suggest that language learning involves physical labor.B．prove that one needs more practice when he(she) is learning a languageC．show that language learning is a process of accumulationD．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well94．We may learn from the scientific findings that ________.A．the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.B．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one knowing no second language.C．the experience of learning a second language has an unknown effect on people’s brain D．the ability to learn a second language is changing all the time95．In the last two paragraphs, the author tries to tell us that ________.A．learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB．early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjectsC．Italian is the best choice for you as a second languageD．you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language五、用单词的适当形式完成句子（所给词的适当形式填空）97．China’s deadliest earthquake in recent years (be)a 7.9 magnitude quake in 2008 that killed nearly 90, 000 people in Sichuan. （所给词的适当形式填空）98．While William (expect)to become the new Prince of Wales eventually, it wasn’tclear when Charles would decide to grant him the title. （所给词的适当形式填空）99．Every high school has their own homecoming tradition.

Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so (58) that the mostable pupils are (59) and are bored while the least able are lost and (60) Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favor of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having (61) lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. (62) they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and (63) modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britaio to do the same, and stop (64) resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.55. A. Due to B. In addition to C. Instead of D. In spite of56.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison a:"Official Taste Tester" for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product's quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream-as well as for developing over 75 flavors.Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No- there's more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this "cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 F. Harrison explains, "You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. "Tasting begins with the eyes, he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself. "Does the product have the colour expected from that flavor?" Next it's time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy out happy- working at once cool job.65. what is John Harrison’s job?A. An officialB. An ice-cream taster.C. A chemistD. An ice-cream manufacturer.66. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the "cool field, it is helpful toA. keep a diary of workB. have a degree in related subjectsC. have new ideas every dayD. find out new flavors each day67.What does Harrison d6 first when testing ice cream?B. He examines the colour of the ice cream A. He stirs the ice creamC. He tastes the flavor of the ice creamD. He lets the ice cream warm up.68. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A Tasting with EyesB. Favors of Ice CreamC. John Harrison's LifeD.

The good news: With the intro forever postage differences.Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of 20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies. mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up The new "forever stamp" is the United States Postal Service(USPS) answer to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation, competition from online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare, says Mark Saunders, a Spokesman for USPS.The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the "forever stamp" and the savingsfrom not printing as many 2-or 3-cent stamps. "It's not your grandfather's stamp," says Mr. Saunders. "It could be your great-grandchildren's stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamp Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, he's interested in the public's reaction. "This is an entirely new class of stamps,” Mr. Schilling says. He adds that he'll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period of time, not because they could make him rich-the volume printed will be too large for collectors. " We won't be able to send our kids to college on these, "he says, laughing.The USPS board of governors has yet o accept the Postal Regulatory Commission's decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been an ed yet for the design of the stamps.72.

In a victory ofgreen business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce ecofriendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of eventseach year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up witha material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been madewaterproof.Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildingsincluding churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called My habs.The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated fromhis product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.To raise money for the idea, he toured the city's private companies which fund new business andfound a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint's directors and wontheir support. Mint has committed around ￡500,000 to My habs and taken a share of 30 percent inMr. Dunlop's business. The first My habs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketedfully next year.Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as fordisaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the My habsteam before the festivalgoers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalizedand the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. Theevents are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.76. "Ecofriendly tents" in Paragraph 1 refer to tents ______.A. economically desirableB. favorable to the environmentC. for holding music performancesD. designed for disaster relief77. Mr. Dunlop established his business ______.A. independently with an interest-free loan from MintB. with the approval of the City's administrationC. in partnership with a finance groupD. with the help of a Japanese architect78. It is implied in the passage that ______.A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summerB. most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users79. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summerB. most performances at British festivals are given in the open airC. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailoredD. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users(E)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician80. ______There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my talent and the talents of other students in our school.81. ______Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and ta lent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame. We need to teach young people about the alternatives.82. ______Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio.83. ______The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me.84. ______The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. new jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.V.

With a significant portion of plastic waste entering through rivers, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste is supporting the work of Renew Ocean to 23 the lack of waste infrastructure in developing regions.Research published in Environmental Science & Technology in 2017 shows that rivers 24 dump anywhere from a half to three million tons of plastic into the seas every year. According to the data, ten rivers alone carry 93 percent of the river-borne plastics that end up in the ocean. To help prevent this plastic waste from reaching the ocean, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste will sponsor Renew Oceans, a localized 25 and investment project focused on high-leakage rivers. As a Founding Global Oceans Sponsor, the Alliance will 26 its materials and logistics (物流) capabilities. The National Geographic Society has also supported the Renew Oceans 27 .Renew Oceans is part of the Renewology partnership, a brainchild of Priyanka Bakaya. Growing up in Australia, Bakaya became fascinated by science, chemistry, and the environment. Trips to India as a child 28 her of the need to do something positive for an environment 29 strained by plastic waste. At Stanford University, she became aware of social entrepreneurship and continued developing her ideas for ending plastic waste in business school at MIT.How does Renew Oceans plan to tackle a(n) 30 insurmountable (难以克服的) problem? First, using proprietary (专利的) “biofence” technology designed by Renewology, plastic waste is collected as it flows down rivers and branches. ReFences divert the plastic and thus keep it from accumulating and entering the ocean. As 31 , the program has major side benefits. The plastic collected across the developing world will be converted into fuel, while waste pickers will receive compensation directly tied to the fuel generated from the plastic they collect. Renewology can become a powerful 32 for empowering local communities while cleaning up the world’s trash and providing necessary fuel.Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

There the 33 could often be compared to Mars. Our team of four female microbiologists watched as a car full of curious men pulled up beside us. Because we were strangers in a(n) 34 place, our minds immediately jumped to ways we could protect ourselves. So, 35 , our Chilean fellow guide lifted the strong tool she’d been using to dig up plant roots. The rest of us tried to look braver than we felt.We had come to this desert to conduct DNA studies on giant horsetails that somehow grow well in one of Earth’s driest places. We were searching for plants in the most remote locations, where they would be 36 by human activities such as mining and agriculture.We’d been warned that the trip could be dangerous. Because we were traveling so far from fuel sources, we were told to take along a can of gas. Our destination was at the end of a(n) 37 single-lane dirt road lined with burned-out vehicles that had not successfully negotiated the steep downslope. Our sample site was near a village, and the people might not, we were told, 38 positively to us. We were instructed to report our travel plans at the nearest police station so that search parties would know where to look for us if we disappeared.We had found the amazing plants and their bright green stocks 39 over our heads. They aroused the 40 of ancient wetland plants. The men approached as we finished collecting our samples. We waited tensely as a man 41 the car and walked toward us. To our surprise and relief, he politely invited us to visit their village—they wanted to show us a lovely church of which they were proud. That day, we learned about more than the microbiomes that help desert plants grow well. We also met a(n) 42 community who had likewise beautifully adapted to their challenging home.The Great PowerPoint Panic of 2003.Sixteen minutes before touchdown on the morning of February 1, 2003, the space shuttle Columbia (“哥伦比亚”号航天飞机)______ into the cloudless East Texas sky. All seven astronauts aboard were killed. As the shattered shuttle flew toward Earth in pieces, it looked to its live TV viewers like a swarm of shooting stars.The immediate ______ of the disaster, a report from a NASA Accident Investigation Board determined that August, was a piece of insulating foam (绝缘泡沫胶) that had broken loose and damaged the shuttle’s left wing soon after liftoff. But the report also ______ out a less direct, more surprising cause. Engineers had known about - and inappropriately______ - the wing damage long before Columbia’s attempted reentry, but the flaws in their analysis were ______ in a series of overstuffed computer-presentation slides that were shown to NASA officials.By the start of 2003, the phrase “death by PowerPoint” had well and truly entered the ______ vocabulary. Edward Tufte was the first to have taken it literally: That spring, the Yale statistician published a booklet entitled The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint, whose core argument was that the medium of communication influences the substance of communication. While PowerPoint, as a medium, did not ______ create unclear, lazy presentations, it certainly ______ and sometimes even masked them — with potentially deadly consequences. This is exactly what Tufte saw in the Columbia engineers’ slides.Wired ran an excerpt (节选) from Tufte’s booklet in September 2003 un der the headline “PowerPoint Is Evil.” A few months later, The New York Times Magazine included his assessment —summarized as “PowerPoint Makes You Dumb” —in its ______ of the year’s most important ideas. “Perhaps PowerPoint is uniquely suited to our modern age of confusion,” the entry read. Despite the backlash it inspired in the ______, the presentation giant rolls on. The program has more monthly users than ever before, well into the hundreds of millions. During lockdown, people ______ PowerPoint parties on Zoom. Kids now make PowerPoint presentations for their parents when they want to get a puppy. If PowerPoint is evil, then evil ______ the world.On its face at least, the idea that PowerPoint makes us stupid looks like a textbook case of misguided te chnological doomsaying. Today’s concerns about social media somehow resemble the PowerPoint critique. Both boil down to a worry that new media technologies ______ form over substance, that they are designed to hold our attention rather than to convey truth, and that they make us stupid.______, concerns about new media rarely seem to make a difference. If the innovation did change the way we think, we are measuring its effects with an altered mind. Either the critical remarks were wrong, or they were so right that we can no longer tell the ______.43.A．disappeared B．disintegrated C．distributed D．disappointed 44.A．side B．cause C．feature D．issue45.A．collected B．unified C．dropped D．single46.A．discounted B．viewed C．accessed D．founded47.A．muted B．absorbed C．buried D．sunk48.A．technical B．popular C．negative D．special49.A．possibly B．reasonably C．ordinarily D．necessarily50.A．accommodated B．combined C．distinguished D．enhanced51.A．abstract B．repetition C．review D．brief52.A．press B．publication C．media D．criticism53.A．opened B．created C．threw D．jumped54.A．rules B．harmonizes C．impacts D．roars55.A．feature B．encourage C．value D．defend56.A．Therefore B．However C．Certainly D．Surprisingly 57.A．difference B．truth C．time D．concernPeople generally see themselves through achievements. In doing that, they end up caring more about their image than the reality of who they actually are. Rather than their work doing the talking, they end up defining themselves by external markers that they hope will earn them respect.The problem with this is that it encourages both themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure. For example, one day, their educational diploma may overshadow what they actually learned. Therefore, a better way to know a person, I think, is to ask a different set of questions: What motivates them? What makes them ache? What do they long for?It’s in this spirit that I want to publicly share my values. They are the com pass (罗盘) that guides my life. The kindest and most sincere thing I can do is to see, recognize, and understand another person before I make judgments. From there, I can learn to treat others appropriately, depending on the context, learning from my mistak es with time and experience. It’s just a reminder that life is hard for all of us, while at the same time accepting that it’s important we are all also held accountable for our actions.I have learned that we are all deeply self-interested. I hope to be self-aware enough to check out of the power and status games. That means I’m not competing with anyone for a shiny object; I’d rather compete with myself. It’s about becoming so uniquely different that it would be an insult for me to measure myself against someone else. I believe if I do the work to be internally free from the pull of the power and status games, then I can add value to others based on my unique knowledge and experience.If this resonates with (与……共鸣) you, I invite you to join me on this journey in understanding and relating to this complex world. It’s a wonderful mystery, and I think together we can better define it — not just personally, but also collectively.58. According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?A．The external markers are better ways to know a person.B．People generally judge others’ worth by what they have achieved.C．The author is someone who is keen on power games.D．Learning from mistakes is the first step of treating others kindly.59. What does the underlined word “overshadow” probably mean?A．be relatively similar to B．cause something to be stronger thanC．make something less important D．block off light from something60.

Why does the author write the article?A．To promote harmonious living. B．To ask people not to judge others.C．To call on readers to learn his values. D．To share his values of understanding theworld.“Changing the world” might seem like an unrealistic goal. When faced with huge problems such as air pollution or energy shortages, where do you start? Gogoro believes you start with a scooter.Proof of conceptIn 2015, Gogoro broke onto the scene by releasing an electric scooter called the Smart-scooter. Unlike most electric scooters. This one wouldn’t need to plugged in to recharge.Instead, users would stop by GoStations to exchange drained batteries for fully charged ones.Gogoro was taking a risk. If people were not happy with the system of changing batteries the whole project could fail. They didn’t need to worry, though. Only one year later Gogoro sold their 10,000th Smart-scooter!Setting the barFast forward to 2019 and the release of the Series 3 Smart-scooter. Gogoro scooters are as popular and revolutionary as ever. Their bright colors are chosen by Beatrice Santiccioli, a famous color designer who helped shape major brands like Apple, Nike and Swatch. Inaddition to the scooters’ bright colors, plenty of cool accessori es (配件) are available so you can make your scooter your own. But most important of all, Gogoro continues to pave the way toward a future of responsible energy consumption.Looking forwardMultiple cities and countries have committed to making their transportation all-electric in the coming years, and Gogoro is helping make the possible. Ordered a package? Companies like DHL and Taiwan Post now have fleets of Smart-scooters to make deliveries. Need a ride?Unlock a Gogoro in Berlin, Paris or Madrid, thanks to scooter sharing services.The Smart-scooters is definitely ingenious, but there’s more. “At Gogoro, I think the essential thing is that we want to change how people use energy. And the Smart-scooters is only the beginning.” says Horace Luke, Gogo ro co-founder and CEO. This is where the GoStation comes in.62. Compared with other electric scooters, the Smart-scooter ______.A．can recharge itself in Gostations in mega-citiesB．only needs to change batteries in GostationsC．wouldn’t need to be rec harged at all in lifeD．can be recharged by its users in Gostations63. Gogoro scooters are popular and revolutionary mainly because ______.A．their colors are chosen by a famous color designerB．their colors are different from those of othersC．it is a good way for people to consume energyD．it can help us solve the problem of energy short64. What can we conclude from the passage?A．The more mega-cities there are, the more GoStations may appear.B．GoStations will soon entirely take the place of traditional stations.C．People need not go to GoStations especially during peak hours.D．More mega-cities will appear throughout the world in the future.One of the most famous works of art in the world is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Nearly everyone who goes to see the original will already be familiar with it from reproductions, but they accept that fine art is more rewardingly viewed in its original form.Despite an implicit recognition that the spread of good reproductions can be culturally valuable, museums continue to promote the special status of original work. Unfortunately, this seems to place severe limitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors.One limitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits. As repositories of unique historical objects, art museums are often called ‘treasure houses’. We are reminded of this even before we view a collection by the presence of security guards, attendants, ropes and display cases to keep us away from the exhibits. In many cases, the architectural style of the building further reinforces that notion. In addition, a major collection like that of London’s National Gallery is housed in numerous rooms, each with dozens of works, any one of which is likely to be worth more than all the average visitor possesses. In a society that judges the personal status of the individual so much by their material worth, it is therefore difficult not to be impressed by one’s own relative‘worthlessness’ in such an environment.Furthermore, cons ideration of the ‘value’ of the original work in its treasure house setting impresses upon the viewer that, since these works were originally produced, they have been assigned a huge monetary value by some person or institution more powerful than themselves. Evidently, nothing the viewer thinks about the work is going to alter that value, and so today’s viewer is deterred fromtrying to extend that spontaneous, immediate, self-reliant kind of reading which would originally have met the work.The visitor may then be struck by the strangeness of seeing such diverse paintings, drawings and sculptures brought together in an environment for which they were not originally created. This‘displacement effect’ is further heightened by the sheer volume of exhibits. In the case of a major collection, there are probably more works on display than we could realistically view in weeks or even months.This is particularly distressing because time seems to be a vital factor in the appreciation of all art forms. A fundamental difference between paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribed time over which a painting is viewed. By contrast, the audience encounters an opera or a play over a specific time, which is the duration of the performance. Similarly, novels and poems are read in a prescribed temporal sequence, whereas a picture has no clear place at which to start viewing, or at which to finish. Thus art works themselves encourage us to view them superficially, without appreciating the richness of de tail and labour that is involved.Consequently, the dominant critical approach becomes that of the art historian, a specialised academic approach devoted to ‘discovering the meaning’ of art within the cultural context of its time. This is in perfect harmony with the museum’s function, since the approach is dedicated to seeking out and conserving ‘authentic’, ‘original’ readings of the exhibits.65. The writer mentions London’s National Gallery to illustrate .A．the undesirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection of art.B．the conflict that may arise in society between financial and artistic values.C．the negative effect a museum can have on visitors’ opinions of themselves.D．the need to put individual well-being above large-scale artistic schemes.66. The writer says that today, viewers may be unwilling to criticise a work because .A．they lack the knowledge needed to support an opinion.B．they fear it may have financial implications.C．they have no real concept of the work’s value.D．they feel their personal reaction is of no significance.67. According to the writer, the “displacement effect” on the visitor is caused by .A．the variety of works on display and the way they are arranged.B．the impossibility of viewing particular works of art over a long period.C．the similar nature of the paintings and the lack of great works.D．the inappropriate nature of the individual works selected for exhibition.68. The writer says that unlike other forms of art, a painting does not .A．involve direct contact with an audience.B．require a specific location for a performance.C．need the involvement of other professionals.D．have a specific beginning or end.Israeli Company Develops 3D Printed BeefIf there were an award for the funniest company name of 2022, then the 3D printed meat company “Steakholder” would win that award.Israeli company Steakholder Foods Ltd. has introduced its new product, Omakase Beef Morsels, which are bioprinted with cultured meat. The bites are inspired by the world-famous Wagyu beef, famous for its fat marbling patterns (大理石花纹) in the meat, which is also very expensive.The company was formed in 2019 and has an office in Israel and Belgium, and is now expanding its operations to the US. 69Stakeholder uses stem cells from cattle for the production of its printed beef, and the muscle tissue and fat are printed from two separate bio-inks. 70 A bite can be made juicier, chewier, and the taste can also be altered.The process works by first selecting the animals to extract (提取) the stem cells from. The cells are selected from animals that will provide the best meat and yield. The next step is proliferation, in which the cells are placed into a nutrient rich reactor to multiply. When the cells reach appropriate numbers, the stem cells change into muscle cells and fat cells. 71“This product marks a major step forward for us and for the cultured meat industry in general,” said Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods. “It is the result of a lot of hard work and our desire to ac hieve the highest level of meat possible through bioprinting and cell culture processes.”72 Its patent for 3D-bioprinting technology is the result of intensive cooperation between its 3D printing engineers and cell biologists. “We see Omakase Beef Morse ls as the combination of food, technology and fine art,” Kaufman said. “We want to inspire chefs around the world to create delicious masterpieces and unforgettable dining experiences.”So there you have it, guilt-free meat eating may be just around the corner.的适当形式填空)74.

Of these three, work experience carries a lot more weight.“Why do you want to work for this company?”___18___, you are letting the interviewer know that you haven’t done much research about the company or the job you are being interviewed for.Interviewees who can give detailed answers about the benefits of working for a particular company make a much better impression on interviewers.“What are your strengths and what is your biggest weakness?” People have a hard time answering the first question because it feels like boasting (吹嘘) in some ways. ___19___.

During their time in space, they made many breakthroughs for China’s space program. ____21____First of all, as for the task itself, it was the longest so far. ____22____ Then, even the astronauts’ return to the Earth saw some majo r breakthroughs for China’s space efforts.____23____ The Shenzhou XII return capsule spent over 24 hours around the Earth 11 times before returning on Sept 17, 2021. This time Shenzhou XIII shortened the orbiting time to about 9 hours, going around the Earth five times. Behind the shorter return time is the improved efficiency of the command center, which during that time has to consider all the factors involved, and make plans for the whole process.The search and rescue team on Earth also performed its remarkable abilities. According to reports, the Dongfeng Landing Site has a search area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, which includes desert, salt flats, as well as wetlands, making it challenging to locate where it has landed. ____24____ At 9:57 am, the reentry module(返回舱) touched down safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site.To build a space station and enable astronauts to live in it for quite some time is a key step in China’s manned space missions. 2022 is a key year for China’s space station.

But what will a winter sports enthusiast do if the snow doesn’t make an appearance? ____26____Artificial snow is more like a tightly packed frozen snow that is partly melt. ____27____ They are broken up by a high-pressure pump at first and then turn into small frozen pieces. Most artificial snow is made using snow cannons. As the air’s cooling capacity falls, so does the amount of water that can be pumped through the machine. ____28____ At -4℃ a snow cannon can operate at around 80% humidity. But if the outside temperature is -1℃, this must be reduced to around 30% humidity.In 1980, the Olympics held in America became the first Winter Games to use machine-made snow. ____29____ Artificial snow also appeared at the two recent Winter Olympics, in Sochi, Russia (2014), and Vancouver, British Columbia (2010). And the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is the first to rely entirely on artificial snow.____30____ The International Olympic Committee states that it creates a more consistent surface.

If you feel really sad about this, the following steps can help you improve the situation.____41____Since we’re all unique, nobody relates to any two people in exactly the same way. Som etimes a parent might appear to favor you in some situations and favor a sibling in others. No parent can be perfect, but they should do their best to be fair. It’s normal for parents to treat each child little differently, because each kid might benefit from a slightly different approach.Try telling your parents how you feel.Your goal is to communicate your feelings directly without being rude.____42____For example, saying “I feel ignored ”is better than saying “you’re ignoring me.” You can also say,“I feel left out lately. Sometimes I feel like you're so busy taking care of the baby that you don’t have enough time for me.”Ask for what you'd like to happen.____43____This lets them know how they can try to fix the problem. Present an idea that could hel p. You can say,“Could you please try to show up to more of my games so that I'll feel so happy knowing you’re there to cheer me on.”Step away if things get heated.Maybe you or your parents will get angry. It’s hard to have a useful conversation if one or both people are too angry to think straight. If you see this happening, take a break. Do some deep breathing and step away.____44____Remember that your parents have to make the decision to change.Sometimes talking about your feelings is enough for them to change theirbehavior.____45____This typically isn’t your fault (错误). The way they react to an honest conversation says how good they are at parenting, not how good you are at being their child. You can’t change other people. You can only control your o wn behavior.A．Other times it isn't.B．Use “I” language instead of “you” language.C．Keep in mind that every relationship is different.D．Remember that you can always try again another day.E．Understand the situation by talking with your siblings．F．Tell your parents what would help you feel closer to them.G．You may feel better if you have another conversation immediately.Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. Similarly, music is a part of many people’s lives. ___46___ Here are some of their similarities.Both language and music have a writing systemIn English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes to keep a record of music. Just as you are reading this collection of letters on the paper and find meaning in it, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music which we can hear. ___47___ For example, we can read the ideas or hear the composition of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really quite exciting.Both vary with culture___48___ In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, which gives us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music. This also meansthat there is something for everyone! Even if you don’t like Britpop melodies, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.Both share emotionHow do you know that I am angry? ___49___ Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion.

need to remind you that“millennials”and,increasingly,“Gen Z”are our most important markets.The trouble is that coming up with rules to define a swathe of humanity is more art than science.It is liable to apply stereotypes.Luckily you have me,and I’m here to tell you that much of what is written about marketing to today’s most prized consumers is a myth.Social media has just changed the ways people discover brands from viewing television,newspapers and magazines to surfing Instagram and TikTok;it has weakened the power of marketing as a whole.Such is the ease with which digital natives can fact-check our tricky marketing claims that it is getting harder to build brand loyalty. Online,communication is cheap and prices are readily Googled.There is a similar temptation to think that physical shops no longer matter.Young consumers love their Amazon deliveries.But what works best is the seamless combination of the digital and physical worlds.Remember those online-only influencer-backed beauty brands like Glossier,which took the world by storm during the pandemic?It turns out that they struggle to get repeat business and have had to pair up with physical retailers.If we want to succeed,we need to offer the best of both physical and virtual worlds.Gen Z will consider a brand’s sustainability and social impact,but considering something isn’t surrendering to it.They are never brand-slaved.It is chiefly youngsters who buy cheap“fast-fashion”outfits to wear once and then send to landfill.Also,youngsters care less for consumer boycotts than its virtue-signaling parents,thus open to various brands.No wonder,most brands originate from youngsters with duel identities of producers and consumers.What determines the shopping mode of a generation is their mindset.In Gen Z,lies are easily exposed online, where everyone loves a takedown and hates hypocrisy.We are people just as our young customers are and people will always buy sincerity.68．What is the article primarily warning readers against in marketing?A．The excessive use of digital advertising and ignoring traditional media.1．B【详解】考查定语从句。

People travel for endless reasons,whether it’s to experience different cultures,see natural (41)of the world,or learn about heritage.All these ideas are exciting options,because in every situation,you will be (42) to something unfamiliar and life-changing.I recently had a discussion with someone about my student abroad experience.They listened as I recounted my (43) around Italy and my additional travels. “I would love to do something like that,” they said, “but I feel like everyone goes to Europe now.It’s not really that (44) anymore.”I was pretty shocked by such a statement.Since when was traveling anywhere not cool enough?Naturally,the older you get ,the more people you’re going to know,especially those who have traveled to (45) parts of the world.However,does standing underneath the Eiffel Tower have less value to me because so many travelers have done the exact same thing?Or climbing and taking a picture at the top of the Florence Duomo also means the decreased value?My answer:absolutely not.Reading travel blogs and (46) at photographs is helpful and enjoyable,but nothing close to (47) experiencing that place.The truth is,every new destination is unique,and it’s nearly impossible to make a “wrong” decision.It is important to focus on your own personal journey,not the experience of others.Every city, state,and country,has thousands of different things to (48) .The places you will visit all have fascinating people,different kinds of delicious food you’ve never tried before,and unbelievable history that will blow your mind.Travelling will nevertheless change you and leave an imprint on the way you see the world—no matter where you go.Whether the destinations we desire are (49) simple or obscure（不清楚的）in the eyes of others,every experience has its own unique value.Keep your adventures (50) while also taking advantage of the opinions and advice of others.In every new destination,you will find a new part of yourself.Truly,no destination is the wrong place to go.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word pr phrase that best fits the context.Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine?Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most 51 changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peop le’s opinions. However,they have real impacts,as they result in 52 use of scarce resources.The eager embrace of the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet,has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on 53 .This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to 54 their manufacturing sector（制造业）with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly,the 55 with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital 56 ” between the rich countries and the poor countries.This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities.The question, 57 ,is whether this is what the developing countries need the most.Perhaps giving money for those less 58 things such as digging wells,extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centers in rural villages.I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important,but these generous donators don’t seem to give priority to people’s 59 needs. Rather,they have rushed into fancy programs without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of 60 uses of their money.In yet another example,an obsession with the new has led people to believe that the latest changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. 61 ,in the last twenty years or so,many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress,goingagainst which will be like trying to turn the clock back.Believing in such a world,many governments have 62 some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital,labor and goods,with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for 63 designing economic policies,both at the national and the international levels,and for making the right career choices at the 64 level.However,our blind faith in the latest,and our 65 of what has already become common,can,and has,led us in all sorts of wrong directions.51.

The ancient Romans would often avoidcapture by throwing off their capes when fleeing so that they could run more quickly.6.hooligan It is believed that this term originated from a man’s last name.The man,whose first name was Patrick,terrorized a section of London with his family in the 1890s.7.broke Many banks in post-Renaissance Europe issued small “borrower’s tiles（瓦片）” to their customers.Like credit cards,these tiles were imprinted with the owner’s name and credit limit,and the name of the bank.In order to borrow money,the customer had to present the tile to the bank teller who would compare the imprinted credit limit with how much the customer had already borrowed.If the borrower was over the limit,the teller broke the tile on the spot.8.genuine From the Latin,originally meant “placed on the knees”.In Ancient Rome,a father legally claimed his newborn child by sitting in front of his family and placing the child on his knee.9.tip The popular explanation of the origin of this word is that it is an acronym（首字母缩略词）meaning “To Insure Promptness”,th at is,to make sure the service in,e.g.,a restaurant,is fast.This is incorrect.The word was underworld slang from the early 1600s,meaning “to pass on a small sum of money.”10.addict This was the Latin name for a slave given to Roman soldiers to reward them for performance in battle.Eventually,this term was applied to anyone who was a slave to anything,e.g.,a drug.66.Which pair of words originated from the names of two people?A.Addict and escape.B.Jeans and escape.C.hooligans and jeans.D.Hooligan and addict.67.The common belief of the origin of “” is not true to the fact.A.husbandB.tipC.jeansD.escape68.Which of the following words best fits the blank in the sentence: “He got again due to

Singapore is most likely to issue the information above?cation Commission.B.Health Department.C.Transportation Bureau.D.Tourism Bureau.(C)When you’re traveling abroad,trying to find out who to tip is never straightforward and neither is trying to work out the exact number.To make things even more complicated,the rules for tipping vary greatly from country to country.Also,within each country the rules can change,so what was appropriate last time you visited your favorite country may be completely inappropriate the next time you go.However,here are some general guidelines which might help you on your journeys.You face your first dilemma as soon as you land at the airport—the taxi ride.Taxi drivers generally do expect tips,but rather than there being an exact amount,people round up the fare or just tell the driver to keep the change.Your next encounter is with the hotel porter and you know he’s expecting a tip,but the problem is trying to figure out how much.It seems that in many countries round the world $1 per bag would be an appropriate amount.Then,of course,you have to eat.In some countries such as Ire land,Brazil,Poland and Portugal,the customary tip in restaurants is 10-15% unless a service change is included,so the first rule of thumb is always check the bill.In other countries such as France,Italy,Germany,Australia and Spain,where a 10-15% service charge is either very common or compulsory,you may want to leave an additional tip if you think the service was particularly good,but it certainly isn’t obligatory.However,in some countries it may seem strange if you do leave a tip.In Japan,for example,the waitress might be insulted if you tipped her.In Thailand,if you left the tip,the restaurant staff probably wouldn’t be offended,but you might be pursued down the street by someone thinking you’d forgotten to take your change.In New Zealand,although it’s unlikely anyone would chase after you,you’d definitely get some odd looks if you left a tip.And your problem with tipping isn’t over when you leave the restaurant.Next you discover the tour guide,the hairdresser and the toilet attendant are all expecting a tip as well,but again,how much?Perhaps the best option in these cases is to ask the local people what is acceptable or observe what others do.Of course,you could simply play safe and tip everyone you meet.72.The word “dilemma” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to .A.a difficult situationB.an early opportunityC.a high expectationD.an exact explanation73.What does the writer suggest tourists do in countries like Brazil?A.Never tip waiters or waitress because they may be offended.B.Play safe and leave a tip about 12% percent of the bill after each meal.C.Make sure whether a service charge is included in the bill before giving tips.D.Always check whether you have kept all your change before leaving the restaurant.74.People needn’t tip waiters in .A.Ireland and FranceB.Germany and JapanC.Poland and ItalyD.Thailand and New Zealand75.What is the passage mainly about?A.Advantages of tipping.B.Rules of tipping.C.Possible origins of tipping.D.Different opinions on tipping.KEYS1.be alive with amazing historic sites2.can’t wait to set out on his travels/journey3.be supposed to warn us about dangery emphasis on the physical features of the/this object5.be named after a former British Prime Minister6.be keen on high-end restaurant7.be content with the delicious local food8.be aware of the issue of mental health9.contribute valuable artworks and make important scientific discoveries10.reflect a golden age of art and poetry from different perspectives11.belong to a time when culture was/is being reborn12.for the purpose of connecting China to/with the world13.Both the

Wondering how many of them actually follow through with it by the end of January each year? Actually, just a meager 8%!Resolutions 46 be very hard to keep for many reasons. Some people find it hard to stay on track. Others make their goals too broad or challenging. Remember resolutions 47 (mean) to be small goals that will become habits over time that will help your life positively, not big life-changing plans.According to , some of the top resolutions made by folks are:*Lose weight *Volunteer to help others *Quit smoking *Get a better education * Get a better job *Save money *Get fit *Eat healthy food *Manage stress *Manage debt *Take a trip *Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Did you notice that resolutions are always 48 making positive changes? We humans recognize that health is the 49 (big) wealth for us all. The resolves to be healthy, eat well and exercise are naturally among the most popular. Yet they are some of the hardest goals to keep.That’s why you should keep your goals realistic. Cut back on s oda 50 50 eliminate it completely. Make notebook entries of what you are aiming for, and track your progress. Write yourself reminders such as : Read for half an hour”, “No more than 125 minutes on social media!”, “don’t eat too much salt, su gar and fat”, as examples. Take small steps to reach your final goal.Can you challenge yourself to be part of the 45% who make resolutions and grow the number of those who make it stick from 8%? 51 51 you are not the type who makes New Year resolutions, try to practice one healthy eating habit this year. You will be doing 52 a favor, for it is your body after all.BWhy Can’t You Tickle YourselfHave you ever thought about why people are ticklish(怕痒的)?According to scientists, ticklishness is a defense mechanism humans develop against bugs, spiders, and other critters that may be touching our skin. Feeling ticklish is our built-in response to predators or threats, and combines the sensations of touch and pain.The part of the brain that is associated with tickling is the cerebellum(小脑). It monitors our movements,53 ignores movements not perceived as a threat. For example, we do not notice our vocal chords(声带)54 (move) when we speak, but we may jump if someone touches us on 55 shoulder. This selective perception is probably the reason why we cannot tickle ourselves.We only feel ticklish if we detect a sense of invasion or attack. If we try to tickle ourselves, our brains anticipate this “attack” a nd prevent us from feeling panicked. Strangely enough, even if a person knows that they are about 56 (tickle), the fear of being touched may cause the same “ticklish” reaction. Some people laugh even before being tickled.A scientific study was recently done in England to determine whether or not people can tickle themselves. V olunteers 57 (attach) to a brain-scanning device and were tickled on their palms with a piece of soft foam(泡沫). The participants’ brain scans were monitored while t hey were being tickled, and when they tickled themselves. It was found that during self-tickling, the cerebellum alerted another area of the brain about 58 to expect, so the ticklish feeling was diminished.Researchers did find a way, however, for people to tickle themselves. When volunteers activated a robot by remote control to tickle them after a short delay, the volunteers felt 5959 someone else were tickling them. It seems that the cerebellum sends a signal to disregard the forthcomin g movement, then moves on to other things. Your brain “forgets” that you are tickling yourself---even with a delay as short as 60 fifth of a second. So it is possible to tickle yourself--- but only by remote control. What will science discover next?Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Every morning, 21-year-old A.J. Hunter downloads his schedule onto his always-at-hand Macintosh laptop. Hunter is a 61 technical college student. He downloads music to his iPod and 62 social networking sites from his cell phone. He uses e-mail and instant messaging anywhere on the wireless campus.Hunter is a (n) “63 native”--- a term that has been used to describe the first generation who grew up in a world filled with computers, cell phones and cable TV.These young people think, act and react much differently from how their parents and grandparents did, often because their childhoods were in large part 64 by technology, say researchers.“This is so core to their social experience--- to their identities – to what it 65 to be a young person and a student in the new century,” says educational technology expert Richard Katz.But just because young people are 66 with technology, that doesn’t mean it’s always beneficial. Some experts worry that technology is 67 over the lives of today’s youth. When his desktop computer crashed during the first week of classes, “I thought I was going to go mad,”says senior Nick Caine. “I was running to the library every two seconds. I didn’t even go home because I knew I wouldn’t have a computer.”There are other negative sides of too much 68 time. A recent study found that nearly 20 percent of students admit that time spent on the Internet and playing computer games resulted in low grades or dropping a class.Technology author Michael Bugeja questions the recent extreme 69 toward technology: “Not only are the students addicted --- the institutions of learning are addicted,” he says. “No one is studying its impact, and we are still 70 as if more access to technology is going to improve learning.”III. Reading Comprehension （15+22+8%）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When I became an amputee at age 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became different, as I changed from an acceptable attractive woman to an object of pity and 71 .Too busy 72 physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was determined to 73 , feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved forward.74 , as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall---a 75 survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude 76 as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to 77 my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers 78 held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless You!” with 79 in their eyes.While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed 80 at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, and she innocently asked, “Lady, where did you legs go?”I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn’t been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to 81 them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to ‘leg Heaven?’”That incident made me think about how 82 children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a 83 learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been 84 of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a 85 approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn’t mean having a poor quality of life.71. A. comfort B. fear C. hatred D. sadness72.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry.The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.“The artwor k?” I was puzzled.The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief!86.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?A. Embarrassed.B. Nervous.C. Dunb.D.

IQ Fun Zone helps children below 7 to cultivate their team spirit( C )Stonehenge（巨石阵）may have been a prehistoric health center rather than a site for observing stars or a temple in honor of the dead, scientists said yesterday. New evidence unearthed at the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures.After a two-week dig, scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was “the ancient healthcare centre of southern England”because of the existence of “bluestones”---the smaller columns of dolerite（辉绿岩）that formed an earlier stone structure.By dating pieces of remains to around 7330 BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth University, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Antiquaries have found that hunter-gatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4,000 years earlier than thought. The first stage of Stonehenge, a round earthwork structure, was built around 3000 BC. Professor Wainwright added: “I did not expect the degree of complexity we discovered. We’re able to say so much more about when Stonehenge was built and why---all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument.”The research reveals the importance of the henge’s famous bluestones. Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team to conclude that the bluestones were valued for their curing effects---the key reason that about 80 of them, each weighing up to 4 tons and a half, were dragged more than 150 miles from the Preseli Hills to Wiltshire. After years of research, Professors Darvill and Wainwright have concluded that, for thousands of years, the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells.Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs and heart disease, and people who use crystals and bluestones for self-curing. Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the construction of the original bluestone circle took place around 2300 BC, three centuries later than originally thought. Interestingly, on the same day died the “Amesbury Archer”---a sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alps who had an infected knee---whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge. The professors believe that he was a devoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument.93.Stonehenge is recently believed to be a place for people_________________________ .A. to recover from poor healthB. to observe star movementsC. to hold religious ceremoniesD. to gather huge bluestones94.What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage?A.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Being a social butterfly just might change your brain: In people with a large network of friends and excellent social skills, certain brain regions are bigger and better connected than in people with fewer friends, a new study finds.The research suggests a connection between social interactions and brain structure. “We're interested in how your brain is able to allow you to find the right way in complex social environments,”MaryAnn Noonan said, a neuroscientist (神经学家) at Oxford University. Studies in monkeys have shown that brain areas involved in face processing and in predicting the intentions of others are larger in animals living in large social groups than in ones living in smaller groups.To investigate these brain differences in humans, Noonan and her colleagues found 18 participants for a structural brain-imaging study. They asked people how many social interactions they had experienced in the past month, in order to determine the size of their social networks. As was the case in monkeys, some brain areas were enlarged and better connected in people with larger social networks. “These different brain regions are all singing different songs,” Noonan said. “Networked areas are all singing the same song, and when they're connec ted better, they're singing more harmoniously with each other.”The researchers also tested whether the size of a person's social network was linked with changes in white-matter pathways, the nerve fibers(纤维) that connect different brain regions. Again, they found that white-matter pathways were better connected in people with bigger social networks. "The nerves were more like a Los Angeles freeway than a country road," Noonan said.The researchers couldn't say whether social interaction caused these changes in brain structure and connectivity, or whether the brain determined how social someone was. In the case of the monkeys, the researchers asked and wrote down the size of the animals' social network, so they concluded that social-group size was causing the brain differences. It can be inferred that a similar process takes place in human brains, but to prove this, long-term studies are needed, Noonan told Live Science.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)97.The certain brain regions in people with fewer friends are ______.98.According to Noonan, the certain brain areas whose functions are to _________ are larger inmore-sociable monkeys.99.
