It is easy to see why. Yao's works look so realistic, like oil paintings, Chinese ink wash paintings or photographs. Many of her works have been bought by domestic and foreign museums.The inheritor of embroidery in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, was born into a family with a long history in the art. Her grandparents and parents worked in the industry. She started to learn from her grandmother and mother when she was little. Influenced by her father, she always loved to read books about art and aesthetics(美学). She attended lectures on philosophy and art innovation when she was growing up. “You might not use the knowledge in the beginning, but what you read and what you experienced will eventually reflect in your works,” says Yao.For more than 10 years, she learned embroidery from masters of Suzhou embroidery and(长春一模) 英语试题第2页 (共12页)gradually became famous for her own skill. Elected as a promoter and ambassador of Suzhou embroidery, she has been to many countries for cultural communication, including the United States, France and Italy.Like many cultural heritage items, Suzhou embroidery faces the problem of finding young people to pass the craft on to. The huge input of time and energy required to learn embroidery, Yao admits, has scared away many young people. However, she takes it as her responsibility to attract and train enough inheritors. She cooperated with colleges in Suzhou to open an embroidery course and teach the students for free. Yao has been teaching embroiderylovers at her workshop for many years. Some of her students have set up their own workshops and started to tea ch others themselves.“Traditional handicrafts need to conform (顺应) to the current aesthetics and cannot linger on the standards of old times. Embroidery techniques should also be improved continuously.” Yao suggests that embroiderers should open up new horizons instead of working in workshops all day long. She visits art exhibitions and museums at every opportunity when she goes to big cities.24. What is the author's purpose in writing the first paragraph?A. To compare embroidery with photos.B. To list some mistaken views of embroidery.C. To highlight Yao Huifen's extraordinary skill.D. To clarify the differences between embroidery and paintings.25. According to Yao, why are young people unwilling to learn embroidery?A. They find it effort-consuming.B. They lack interest in it.C. They consider it less profitable.D. They have a different taste for beauty.26. Which of the following words can best describe Yao Huifen?A. Persistent and modest.B. Devoted and disciplined.C. Determined and ambitious.D. Responsible and selfless.27. What can we infer from the text?A. Yao Huifen prefers working in big cities.B. Embroidery is gradually regaining its fame.C. Yao Huifen has a talent in teaching embroidery.D. Yao Huifen is struggling to inherit Suzhou embroidery.C“Turn off, tune out and drop in.” That's the message to customers at a Dutch digital detox(戒瘾) cafe who are paying for the privilege of leaving their phones at the door. The Offline Club, which began life in Amsterdam, offers an oasis(乐土) of calm and pause from the constant digital busyness of life lived through the black glass of a smartphone. It creates英语试题第3页(共12页)moments of quiet reflection, and encourages conversations with strangers instead of endless keyboard arguments hammered out 280 characters at a time.With board games, a piano and books on hand, the idea is to swap recharging your device for refilling your soul, even for just a few hours. Aided by word spreading on social media, the club has already branched out to mul tiple cities across the Netherlands, and is now ready for an international launch.“People love it: they tell us this is exactly what they' ve been waiting for; they can't believe it didn't exist alrea dy, "says co-founder Ilya Kneppelhout. “A girl called Belinda who struggled with stress and anxiety told us she hadn't felt so at peace with herself in a year and a half.”Customers switch between time to themselves and time to connect. “People don't just pay to get rid of their ph ones — they’ re also paying to meet others,” says Kneppelhout. “We live in quite an isolated world where we' re more connected online, but in the physical world, it's hard to meet people.”He's already had a group of digital downtime followers in the UK, where Georgina Sturmer, who has worked with clients experiencing over-dependence on phones, points out another benefit of a switched-off society. “We are constantly at risk of having every word or image captured and shared,” she says. “This sense of being endlessly photographed is something that has come with these devices being in our lives so much. Wouldn't it be great to feel safe knowing it doesn't matter if we' re having a bad hair day, or don't really like our outfit?”28. What can we know about the Dutch digital detox cafe?A. It is the first cafe in Amsterdam.B. Interaction among people is advocated.C. Only black smartphones are allowed there.D. Customers have to type 280 characters nonstop.29. How did the cafe become more and more popular?A. By media's advertising.B. By netizens' commenting online.C. By employees' handing out leaflets.D. By customers' word-of-mouth promoting.30. Why is Belinda mentioned in the third paragraph?A. To show the effect of the cafe.B. To explain the cause of her anxiety.C. To stress the seriousness of her situation.D. To introduce the problem of modern people.31. What is Georgina Sturmer's attitude towards the cafe?A. Ambiguous.B. Concerned.C. Supportive.D. Doubtful.(长春一模) 英语试题第4页(共12页)Do you ever find yourself repeating a specific word in your head over and over until the word suddenly make s no sense to you and you wonder why it's a word at all? This is just one of the many odd things our brains do to us, and it's a pretty funny experience when it happens.This phenomenon is known as semantic satiation(语义饱和) and it causes us to perceive a real word as meani ngless sounds. Sometimes that loss of meaning can be a pain, sometimes it can be useful, and sometimes, it can ev en be unforgettably beautiful.Semantic satiation occurs when a word is repeated over and over again until the word begins to lose its meani ng to the listener. The term was first coined in 1962, but research surrounding the phenomenon dates from the earl y 20th century. There are multiple theories as to why semantic satiation occurs. One is that the repeated use of a ne ural pathway associated with a word impacts response times, leading to the loss of meaning. Another theory is that tiredness causes the connection between word and meaning to get disordered.More recently, researchers have used neural networking simulations (模拟) to try to identify why the phenom enon happens and another set of researchers have found that semantic satiation delays facial expression processing . In other words, there isn't an agreement as to why semantic satiation happens.Studies looking at semantic satiation have typically involved the repetition of a word up to30 times, withsemantic satiation, in some cases, appearing after seven to nine repetitions. Some words used during these studies have been as short as four letters, but others have been much longer.Sometimes, losing the meaning of a word can actually be helpful. Judy Ravin of Accents International uses semantic satiation to help English language learners focus more on how your muscles need to move in order to ma ke the sounds required, rather than the meaning of a particular word. “A word in itself doesn't actually have meani ng. A word is a symbol for something, so, when we can move away from the meaning and just think about sound production, the physiology, it's helpful.”32. What can we learn from semantic satiation?A. It has its origin from money.B. It is most likely to be painful.C. It arises as a word is repeated enough times.D. It's one of the few tricks our brain plays on us.33. What does the word“coined” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Created.B. Saved.C. Earned.D. Collected.34. How does Judy Ravin help English learners?A. By strengthening muscles physically.B. By emphasizing learning words basically.C. By combining the meaning and sound organically.D. By concentrating on pronouncing words physiologically.英语试题第5页(共12页)35. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Who are suffering from semantic satiation.B. What kind of semantic satiation is beneficial.C. Why semantic satiation makes a word meaningless.D. How semantic satiation influences our facial expression.第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Fish has a chemical called omega-3 fatty acid which is important for the brain. But it seems that fish is not the only food you should think about. There is a book called Brainpower Nutrition, in which a British author, Patrick Holford, explains how to develop your brain. It was published in 1999, and Mr. Holford said that a lot of foods, such as fruit, vegetables and seafood, could help with brain development.One of his tips is to eat more carbohydrates (碳水化合物). The brain consumes around 20 percent of the body’s energy. So you should never skip breakfast, because it gives you energy at the start of a day. Your breakfast should include fruit and carbohydrates, such as cereals and bread. People who want to develop their brain should also include minerals in their diet. Iron is necessary for brain development. Lean red meat, dried fruit, beans, fish and peas are all rich in iron and good for the brain.Another tip is to drink more water. Cells (细胞) in your brain need water to work. If you are very thirsty, water can make you feel happy. According to Mr. Holford, if you drink around 1.5 liters of water every day, your brainwill be more alert and your thinking will be clearer. However, thi s doesn’t mean that you can drink any liquid that has water in it, such as coffee, tea and juice. These are not replacements for water because they also contain caffeine (咖啡因) or sugar, which are not good for your brain.The last suggestion is to eat regularly. It’s better to eat five small meals a day than to eat three large meals. These small meals should include all the food groups, such as carbohydrates, protein and fat. By doing this, your blood sugar will stay normal and your brain will work well.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

No one will accuse you of hypocrisy（伪善）. Let us just say that you are suffering from a bad case of wishful thinking. This needn’t make you too uncomfortable because you are in good company. Whenever the subject of smoking and health is raised, the governments of most countries hear no evil, see no evil and smell no evil. Admittedly, a few governments have taken timid measures. In Britain, for instance, cigarette advertising has been banned on television. The conscience of the nation is appeased, while the population continues to puff its way to smoky, cancerous death.Y ou don’t have to look very far to find out why the official reactions to medical findings have been so luke-warm(不冷不热的). The answer is simply money. Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It’s almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so discreetly that smoking may, conceivably, be harmful it doesn’t do to shout too loudly about it.This is surely the most short-sighted policy you could imagine. While money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better-off if smoking were banned altogether.Of course, we are not ready for such drastic（激烈的）action. But if the governments of the world were honestly concerned about the welfare of their peoples, you don’t think they’d conduct aggressive anti-smoking campaigns. Far from it! The tobacco industry is allowed to spend staggering sums on advertising. Its advertising is as insidious as it is dishonest. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict（描绘）virile（男性的）, clean-shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, wit beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense!For a start, governments could begin by banning all cigarette and tobacco advertising and should then conduct anti-smoking advertising campaigns of their own. Smoking should be banned in all public places like theatres, cinemas and restaurants.31. The author believes that ______.A. there’s a definite link between smoking and heart disease or lung cancerB. smokers are really cool guysC. smoking is associated with the great open-air life, wit beautiful girls, true love and togethernessD. smoking does more good than harm to the country32. The fact that cigarette advertising has been banned on television in Britain shows that ________.A. the British government has taken strong measures to prevent citizens from smokingB. the British government has been well aware of the evil of smokingC. what the British government has done is far from enoughD. what the British government intends to do is to warn smokers of the dangers of smoking33.

According to the author, the governments ______.A. shouldn’t have imposed such a high tax on cigarettesB. shouldn’t have banned cigarette ads on TVC. should make smoking illegalD. should be genuinely concerned with the welfare of their peoplesPassage 2Career education is instruction intended to help young people identify, choose, and prepare for a career. Such instruction may focus on a person’s role in work, leisure, or family life. Career education differs from vocational education, which is designed to teach specific occupational skills.Career education includes the formal and informal learning that occurs in the family, in the community, and in schools. In school, career education consists of instructive activities included in many courses. These activities are designed to improve the attitudes, knowledge, and skills important for work roles. Career education helps students develop self-understanding and use it to plan their education and working life.A complete career education program in school begins in kindergarten and continues at least through high school. Many colleges and universities also offer career education through their counseling programs. In kindergarten and elementary school, youngsters learn about different types of work. In middle school or junior high school, children begin to explore the occupations and leisure activities that interest them most. In high school, students get more specific information about occupations and life styles. They may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessions where they learn how to make career decisions. They also should obtain the skills they need for further study or for a job after graduation. Counselors provide information on such matters as how to locate and apply for jobs and how to be successful in interviews. Teachers and counselors use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films about occupations or industries. Children may invite parents or other adults to come to school and describe their jobs. A student may accompany a worker on the job. Cooperative education combines classroom study with practical work experience.6. According to the passage, which statement is true?A. Career education is carried out in primary school.B. Career education is carried out in middle school.C. Career education is carried out in college.D. Career education is carried out in the whole process of children’s education.7. It may be inferred from the passage that _______.A. in high school, students know more specific information about occupationsB. career education may be in classroom, small group, or individual sessionsC. not only teachers but also parents are responsible for the career educationD. teachers use a variety of methods to provide career education, including films8. A child may get career education in all the following places EXCEPT ______.A. schoolB. public placesC. familyD. community9. “Kindergarten” (Para. 3, sentence 3) is a place for ______ years old children.A. 3~5B. 7~8C. 9~10D. 11~1210. “Combine” in the last paragraph means _______.A. connectB. forceC. mergeD. undertakePassage 3When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Y es, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24000, while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology （人类学）or political science or languages or --- worst of all --- in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor(看门人) earns.Y ou can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.11. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who _____A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation’s demands as a source of manpower12. Many Ph.D.s are out of job because _______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money13. According to the passage, ______ degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes.A. philosophyB. physics and chemistryC. historyD. anthropology14. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A. Bernard Shaw finished high schools, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D.The more you are well-educated, the more you’ll be fit for society’s demands.15. Which is the highest degree that you can get according to this passage?A. Ph.D.B. MasterC. B.A.D. M.B.A.Passage 4In July 1994, the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smashed into the planet Jupiter. For the first time, human wereable to witness exactly what happens when a celestial body collides with a planet and it quickly became clear that survival was no longer entirely a question of being the “fittest”. A new factor had been introduced into evolution: the ability to survive a collision between the earth and an asteroid or comet.To most people, the risk remains academic. With all the dangers humans face ---- sickness, accidents ---- it is understandable that people don’t take seriously the risks posed by something that hasn’t happened for 65 million years and may not happen for another 65 million years.However, many scientists believe that collisions between the earth and celestial bodies cannot be regarded as “ just another risk”. The main reason for this is that no other disaster ---- except perhaps a nuclear war ---- has the potential to destroy human civilization completely. Even the worst floods and earthquakes affect only a very small percentage of the earth’s surface and population. But the effects of an impact caused by a celestial body of just ten kilometers in diameter would make humans extinct, along with most of the world’s other animals and plants.The danger comes from asteroids and comets which cross the earth’s orbit. Asteroids pose a greater danger because they are more numerous. Those less than 100 meters in diameter are not usually regarded as a threat because most are destroyed by heat as they enter the earth’s atmosphere and so never reach the ground. It is those asteroids with diameters of one kilometer or more which pose the greatest threat.16. The main topic of this passage is ________.A. several factors influencing evolutionB. natural disasters in the worldC. collision between Jupiter and a cometD. danger of Earth colliding with heavenly bodies17. The word “academic” ( Para. 2, Sentence 1) is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. technicalB. impossibleC. unbelievableD. theoretical18. The probable result of Earth being hit by an object 10 kilometers in diameter from outer space is ________.A. extinction of the human raceB. extinction of most species on earthC. extinction of animalsD. extinction of plants19. Compared with comets, asteroids are a major threat to Earth because ________.A. they are larger in numberB. they are larger in sizeC. they are closer to EarthD. they are easier to change their orbits20. According to the passage, asteroids which can do real harm to Earth are ________.A. no less than 1,000 meters in diameterB. less than 1,000 meters in diameterC. no less than 100 meters in diameterD. less than 100 meters in diameterWritingE-mail1.电子邮件开辟了新的通讯渠道且日益普及2.电子邮件给我们带来了便利3.电子邮件的发展前景。
