AA Look at Four of the World-famous CollegesUniversity College London, England. United KingdomThis university was founded with the intent of opening education equally and to all. In 1878, University College London began admitting women using the same admission standards men were held to. The college was the first in the United Kingdom to accept students from any class or religion.Tuition (学费) for each student comes in at $31,000. This price does include fees for housing, food, travel expenses and insurance.University of Melbourne, Melbourne, AustraliaIt opened in 1853 and is known for its outstanding research and teaching programs. Research at the university in the 1970s led to a cochlear implant (人工耳蜗), giving more than 200,000 patients worldwide hearing.Parents of native students expect to pay $24,500 for the first term’s tuition and another $19,500 for room and board in residential housing.University of Cambridge, England, United KingdomRecords of the university reach back to 1209 when the area was an ancient Roman trading post, making it the second oldest university in the UK. Cambridge currently has 21,000 students with around 1,300 of those coming from 65 different countries.Tuition for the bachelor programs like engineering reaches $31,000.Sarah Lawrence College, New York, United StatesIt is known for a diverse student body coming from 53 different countries. The teacher/student ratio (比例) and personalized courses of study attract students from the United States and abroad.Undergraduates carrying 30 credits will pay $51,196 for tuition. The cost to attend Sarah Lawrence may seem prohibitive to many, but a degree from this honoured college can open many doors for graduates.1.When did University College London start to admit women on equal terms with men?A.In 1209.B.In1853.C.In 1878.D.In 1887.2.Which college developed a device to benefit people with hearing loss?A.University of Melbourne.B.Sarah Lawrence College.C.University of Cambridge.D.University College London.3.What do the last two colleges have in common?A.They just offer the bachelor programs.B.They feature the highest cost of board.C.They are located in the United Kingdom.D.They are favoured by international students.BJim found himself exhausted during a trip. When he came home, he went to see a doctor. “The reason I was tired, ” Jim says, “was that my kidneys (肾脏)were gone. ”Jim, 69, a former Air Force pilot, immediately started dialysis(透析) three days a week. A person of his age on dialysis usually lives only about four years. Transplants are a long-shot alternative. The National Kidney Foundation estimates that 13 people die every day while waiting for a donor with the right blood and tissue types.Jim’s wife, nephew and four family friends offered but weren’t a match. Jim was so discouraged that he was even considering not attending a reunion of some Air Force buddies(铁哥们). But his wife encouraged him to reunite with his old friends, among whom was one he hadn’t seen in 50 years: Doug Coffman. The two had met when they both were learning Vietnamese before they went overseas.Doug, then 70, felt a strong bond with his band of brothers, even though he hadn’t seen some of them in decades. Their connection went beyond the battlefield in ways most soldiers never experience.Doug had received help from his friends when he was in trouble, so he felt like it was a time that he could pay that ahead by donating a kidney to Jim. Fortunately, series of testing revealed not only that Doug’s tissue type matched Jim’s but also that he had the kidneys of a 35-year-old.The transplant was a success. “It’s pretty miraculous to be able to take an organ out of one person’s body—a living organ—put it in another person’s body, and have it work, ” Doug says. “And there’s nothing finer than knowing I’ve helped another person live a better life. ”4.From this text we know that Kidney transplant is ________.A.Expensive B.dangerous C.a matter of luck D.an unwise choice5.How old was Jim when he went overseas?A.About 17.B.About 19.C.About 22.D.About 25.6.What can we infer from Doug’s words in the last paragraph?A.Doug is happy to donate a kidney to Jim.B.Jim is having a better life than Doug.C.The kidney transplant is very successful.D.Modern medical science is very advanced.7.What is the theme of this text?A.Good luck.B.An operation.C.Paying it forward.D.Good relationship.CWhat is life? Like most great questions, this one is easy to ask but difficult to answer. The reason is simple: weknow of just one type of life and it’s challenging to do science with a sample size of one. The field of artificial life-called ALife for short — is the systematic attempt to spell out life’s fundamental principles. Many of these practitioners, so-called ALifers, think that somehow making life is the surest way to really understand what life is.So far no one has convincingly made artificial life. This track record makes ALife a ripe target for criticism, such as declarations of the field’s doubtful scientific value. Alan Smith, a complexity scientist, is tired of such complaints. Asking about “the point” of ALife might be, well, missing the point entirely, he says. “The existence of a living system is not about the use of anything.” Alan says. “Some people ask me, ‘So what’s the worth of artificial life?’ Do you ever think, ‘What is the worth of your grandmother?’”As much as many ALifers hate emphasizing their research’s applications, the attempts to create artificial life could have practical payoffs. Artificial intelligence may be considered ALife’s cousin in that researchers in both fields are enamored by a concept called open-ended evolution (演化). This is the capacity for a system to create essentially endless complexity, to be a sort of “novelty generator”. The only system known to exhibit this is Earth’s biosphere. If the field of ALife manages to reproduce life’s endless “creativity” in some virtual model, those same principles could give rise to truly inventive machines.Compared with the developments of Al, advances in ALife are harder to recognize. One reason is that ALife is a field in which the central concept — life itself — is undefined. The lack of agreement among ALifers doesn’t help either. The result is a diverse line of projects that each advance along their unique paths. For better or worse, ALife mirrors the very subject it studies. Its muddled (混乱的) progression is a striking parallel (平行线) to the evolutionary struggles that have shaped Earth biosphere.Undefined and uncontrolled, ALife drives its followers to repurpose old ideas and generated novelty. It may be, of course, that these characteristics aren’t in any way surprising or singular. They may apply universally to all acts of evolution. Ultimately ALife may be nothing special. But even this dismissal suggests something:perhaps, just like life itself throughout the universe, the rise of ALife will prove unavoidable.8.Regarding Alan Smith’s defence of ALife, the author is .A.supportive B.puzzled C.unconcerned D.doubtful9.What does the word “enamored” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A.Shocked.B.Protected.C.Attracted.D.Challenged.10.What can we learn from this passage?A.ALife holds the key to human future.B.ALife and AI share a common feature.C.AI mirrors the developments of ALife.D.AI speeds up the process of human evolution.11.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Life Is Undefined. Can AI Be a Way Out?B.Life Evolves. Can AI Help ALife Evolve, Too?C.Life Is Undefined. Can ALife Be Defined One Day?D.Life Evolves. Can Attempts to Create ALife Evolve, Too?DScientists and engineers are preparing for possible travel into interstellar (星际的) space, the area in between stars, in the distant future. A new report examines the possible problem of changes in language on long space trips. Two American researchers have explored one possible problem with such travel. They considered the possibility that changes in human language could develop overtime and lead to major communication problems with people on Earth.The language experts are professors Andrew McKenzie from the University of Kansas, and Jeffrey Punske of Southern Illinois University. The two recently published a paper, which considers very long trips necessary to reach interstellar space, estimated to be about 18 billion kilometers from Earth. It also examines the possibility of future colonization (殖民地的开拓) of distant stars.Languages naturally change as communities grow more isolated from each other, the researchers note in the paper. The long isolation of a community could lead to enough differences in language to make it impossible for community members back home to understand. “If you’re on this spaceship for 10 generations, new concepts and social issues will emerge, and people will create ways of talking about them,” McKenzie said in a statement. Such vocabulary would become specific to only that spaceship.“People on Earth might never know about these words, unless there’s a reason to tell them. And the further away you get, the less you’re going to talk to people back home,” McKenzie said. The researchers noted that in addition to new words being used, the language of people traveling on spaceships and living in colonies would experience many other changes. For example, the sounds of different letters would likely change overtime, affecting not only individual words, but the whole “grammatical system”, the paper states.Major changes in word and sentence structure could also create systematic language barriers overtime, the researchers said. “Given more time, new grammatical forms can completely replace current ones,” McKenzie said. 12.What is the possible result of long space travel according to the research?A.It may bring about many language barriers.B.People may suffer from mental problems.C.It may change people’s living environment.D.People could communicate more easily on Earth. 13.What does the underlined word “isolation” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?A.Connection.B.Distribution.C.Loneliness.D.Separation.14.What can we infer about the language used on spaceships from paragraph 4?A.It will form its own language system.B.It will replace the current language soon.C.It can be understood by people on Earth.D.It can be used to communicate with aliens.15.Why does the author mention McKenzie in the last paragraph?A.To present the way to create new languages.B.To explain the reason for language problems.C.To stress the inevitable trend of language changing.D.To show the importance of new grammatical systems.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Worried about the climate? 16 . Here are some examples to get you started.•Count the birds and the beesGet closer to nature by becoming a citizen scientist. You could be counting birds in your garden, butterflies, insects and flowers, or even reptiles and hedgehogs. 17 . It’s a fun group activity, and your data can help scientists better understand the impact of human behaviour on natural habitats.• 18Media headlines can be alarming when it comes to the climate and nature crisis or ignoring the issues completely. Hosting a local discussion can allow space for reflection, debate, ideas and collaboration (合作) to take action on global issues at a local level.•Set up a library of thingsInternet shopping has made it too easy to buy new stuff at the click of a button. 19 ? First, it’ll clutter (凌乱地塞满) your house,then it’ll clutter the planet. Setting up a library of things can encourage local people to share everything from tools to instruments, cooking gadgets to toys.•Start a climate emergency centre20 . That’s why more and more climate emergency centres are popping up in derelict (废弃地) shops on high streets and in shopping centres. A climate emergency centre can be a space for events such as an exhibition on plastic waste or a workshop to learn how to make eco-cleaning products. It can also be a way to motivate more people to take action.A.Cooperate with your localsB.But where is it all going to end upC.Host a climate and nature discussionD.But how have we consumed the thingsE.The climate and nature crisis isn’t going awayF.There are lots of citizen science projects to take part inG.Small local actions with neighbors, local businesses and politicians can make a difference。

ANeed inspiration? Happy background music can help people get the creative juice flowing. Simone Ritter, at Radboud University in the Netherlands, and Sam Ferguson at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, have been studying the effect of silence anddifferent types of music on how we think.They divided 155 volunteers into five groups.Four of these were each given a type of music to listen to while taking a series of tests, while the fifth group did the tests in silence.The tests were produced to judge two types of thinking:divergent thinking, which refers to the process of creating new ideas, and convergent thinking, which is how we find the best solution to a problem.Ritter and Ferguson found that people were more creative when listening to music they thought was positive, coming up with more special ideas than the people who worked in silence.“We also performed other types of music that were sad , anxious and calm, and didn’t see this effect,”says Ferguson.“It seems that the type of music present is important , rather than just any music.”In addition , no type of music helped convergent thinking,suggesting that it’s better to solve problems in silence.Ritter and Ferguson write that their finding could be used to improve creative thinking in places like educational institutions or laboratories, but Irma at the University of Helsinki in Finland, says happy music may help creativity by setting off the release of dopamine, a brain chemical involved in pleasure and relief.“Dopamine also increases creative thinking and goal-directed working,”says Irma.And she also thinks happy music may not help convergent thinking because this kind of thinking relies more on logic and less on creativity.21. How does happy background music help people work? A.By making people enjoy the juice.B.Byinfluencingpeople’sbehavior.C.By inspiring people to work less.D.Byimprovingpeople’screativity.22. What can we learn from the passage?A.Dopamine can direct our convergent thinking.B.Divergent thinking helps find the best solution.C.Divergent thinking helps produce the new ideas.D.Dopamine can reduce our divergent thinking. 23. What could be the best title for the passage? A.Happy Music Makes You Lively B.Happy Music Excites Your Creativity C.Happy Music Keeps You CleverD.Happy Music Simplifies Your WorkBI was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in touch with the Automobile Association. Low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.I could see no call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号 考场号 座位号hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town’s only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint, I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots. I could not see his face—he was bending forward over the p hone with his back pressed against the glass and didn’t even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer. Carefully and surprisedly, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.24. The author was walking through the small seaside town_________.A. late morningB. before midnightC. early morningD. late evening25. The weather of the day was _________, when the story happened.A. stormy, damp and clearB. windy, cold and cloudyC. rainy, cold and clearD. rainy, windy and cold26. Why was the author astonished when he saw that there was a man in the call box? Because _________.A. the man inside was still wearing a raincoatB. he didn’t expect it to be taken upC. the man had his back with himD. the man did not seem to be moving27. The author waited, standing a few feet away from the box because _________.A. it was bad manners to overhear other’s phone callsB. the man didn’t notice his comingC. he wanted to have a cigarette to calm himself downD. it was not safe to be close to the boxCWe once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewh ere on your poster.”We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the s pace draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.Minutes passed.No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.I was still sitting at my desk, thinking. What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.28. What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster?A. It must appear in time.B. It must be done in class.C. It must be done on a construction sheet.D. It must include the words on the blackboard.29. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.A. formed an idea forB. made an outline forC. made some space f orD. chose some colors for30. After seeing the good students’ designs, some students________.A. loved their own designs moreB. thought they had a fair chanceC. put their own designs in a cornerD. thought they would not win the prize31. We can infer from the passage that the author________.A. enjoyed grown up tricks very muchB. loved poster competitions very muchC. felt surprised to win the competitionD. became wise and rich after the competitionDHave you ever thought why there are very few great people? I think there is probably only one great person out of 10,000 at best and most probably much less than that. Most people want to be great, right? But why only very few of them become great? Here is the reason: most people do not pay the price of greatness.I think this one is quite obvious. Now, the next question is: if there are so many people who want to be great, why only very few of them actually pay the price? The answer to the question explains the difference between the almost 100% people who want to be great and the much less than 0.01% people who actually can be so.The reason why very few people actually pay the price is this: the road to greatness is continuously painful for a long time. Greatness requires sacrifices(牺牲) and there is no sacrifice without pain. This kind of sacrifice makes the process continuously painful for a long time. If you want to be good, it will be painful only every now and then and many people can still handle it. But being great is a totally different level. The pain is much deeper and it is continuous. Very few people can endure this kind of pain and that’s why there are very few great people. Most people naturally choose things that bring pleasure to them. It’s unnatural to choose pain over pleasure, let alone doing it continuously for a long time.But that’s what I believe is the secret to greatness—choosing pain over pleasure continuously for a long time.32. The reason why there are very few great people is that________.A. only less than 0.01% people actually want to be greatB. most people have no ability to be greatC. most people are not willing to experience the hardship to be greatD. only less than 0.01% people have the ability to be great33. Which of the following sayings would the author agree to according to the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Do one thing at a time and do well.C. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.D. Never put off what you can do today until tomorrow.34. To be great, all that it takes is ________.A. to suffer only every now and thenB. to be very cleverC. to get along well with othersD. to choose pain instead of pleasure for a long time35. The underlined word “endure”in the passage is closest to “________” in meaning.A. remain alive or continue to exist for a long timeB. be in a difficult or painful situation for a long time without complainingC. get over something unpleasantD. deal with something unpleasant第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AYears ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the te in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at andcriticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.21. “It dawned on me” in paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A. I knew it grew lightB. it cheered me upC. I began to understand itD. it began to get dark22. It’s clear that ___________.A. the writer had never met the woman beforeB. the writer often washed the windowC. they both worked as cleanersD. they lived in a small town23. From the passage, we can learn___________.A. one shouldn’t criti cize others very oftenB. one should often make his windows cleanC. one must judge himself before he judges othersD. one must look at others through his dirty windowsBOn Sunday 23 April, more than 30, 000 people participated in the 2017 London Marathon, running 26.2 miles (42.2 kilometers) around the city centre.The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981. At the first one just6,225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It is one of the “World Marathon Majors”, which is a competition made up of six global marathon events. The overall male and female winners receive $ 1 million in prize money between them. There are eleven people who have run every London Marathon since it began—they call themselves the “Ever Presents”.This year, the winners of the London Marathon were surprisingly both from Kenya— Daniel Wanjiru, who finished in 2 hours and 5 minutes, and Mary Keitany, whose time was 2 hours and 17 minutes.However, most marathon runners are not professional athletes. They are amateurs who have trained for months to raise money for charity or just as a personal challenge. For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the run’s halfway point, as he is crawlin g the course on his hands and knees dressed as agorilla(大猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for the charity “The Gorilla Organization”.Matthew Rees was another runner to encourage people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help David Wyeth run the last 200m. They did not know each other before, but Matthew saw that David was exhausted and possibly close to collapsing, and wanted to help him finish.Every year there are lots of touching stories like this from the London Marathon, and it is a huge achievement even to run the 26.2 miles!24. What do we know about London Marathon from the text?A. It has been held continuously for 37 years.B. Most of its runners are professional athletes.C. Each winner can receive $ 1 million in prize money.D. It’s the most influential sporting event in the world25. What makes the winners of London Marathon this year special?A. Their speedB. Their nationality.C. Their prize money.D. Their purpose.26. Why does the author mention the story of Tom Harrison?A. To tell us competitors can help each other.B. To prove some amateurs are not good runners.C. To indicate participation matters more than success.D. To show the sports event means charity for some people.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Touching Stories behind MarathonB. Impressive Marathon RunnersC. The London MarathonD. The History of the London MarathonCWhat should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good atoffice work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any especially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.28. What is the passage mainly about?A. The importance of working hard at school.B. Choosing a career according to one’s strengths.C. How to face one’s weakness.D. The value of school work.29. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting EXCEPT ________.A. mathematicsB. EnglishC. historyD. technical drawing30. The writer thinks that a student’s part-time job is probably ________.A. a good way to find out his weak pointsB. of great use for his work in the futureC. one of the best ways of earning extra moneyD. a waste of time he could have spent on study31. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he ________.A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesB. will be regretful about his bad resultsC. may also do well in his future workD. should restart his study at schoolDBatteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度)”,said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engi neering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MNEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.“People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU ResearchReactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery, In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.32. Which of the following is TRUE of Jae Kwon?A. He developed a chemical battery.B. He teaches chemistry at MU.C. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.D. He is working on a nuclear energy source.33. Liquid semiconductor is used to ________.A. reduce the damage to lattice structureB. test the power of nuclear batteriesC. decrease the size of nuclear batteriesD. get rid of the radioactive waste34. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery ________.A. uses a solid semiconductorB. will soon replace the present onesC. could be extremely thinD. has passed the final test35.

today.But they are still filled with unusual creatures and environment that hold great interest for both scientists and visitors.There are millions of caves around the world.They often can be found on the side of a mountain or a hill.Caves are home to some of the strangest creatures on earth.These include hydrogeneating bacteria and insects without eyes.Fred Luiszer is a cave expert and works at the University of Colorado at Boulder.He says that even space scientists are interested in life underground.He says,“If they find life on other moons and other planets,life will probably be very similar to what we’re finding in caves.”In dark passageways,scientists have discovered small organisms that show promise in fighting cancer.But other cave life can be deadly.A sulfur (硫磺) cave in Colorado is home to a rare form of poisonous bacteria.Their formations look like mucus (黏液),the sticky material that protects breathing passages in the body.The snottite is a rare form of such bacteria that looks like mucus.Snottites get their energy from sulfur in the air.They produce a poisonous acid.This can make the cave dangerous for people who are not careful.Fred says,“You pass out immediately.And if you stayed in that environment for probably,I’m guessing more than an hour or two,it would kill you.”Not all things in caves are small organisms.Scientists in Colorado recently discovered a small,red creature that is blind.Bats also live in caves.Mark Maslyn is a geologist and caving expert.He says cavers must be careful not to harm bat colonies.He says,“Bats are hibernating (冬眠) creatures.And if you wake them upduring the wintertime,which is easy to do with lights and noise and things like that,then they go outside and their food source,insects,is not available to them,and they die off.”He says he always follows this advice for cavers:take nothing but pictures,leave nothing but footprints,kill nothing but time.This is good advice to make sure that future generations will also enjoy visiting caves and their many natural wonders.1.Why does life underground draw space scientists’ interest?A.Because they have found that life in caves is similar to that in space.B.Because they think that the creatures in caves may come from space.C.Because they assume life in caves and in space may have common features.D.Because they want to take some creatures to space and experiment on them.2.How can the snottite kill cavers?A.By spreading other bacteria to themB.By poisoning them with its acid.C.By breathing out poisonous sulfur.D.By blocking their breathing passages.3.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A.Caves require taking good care of.B.Caves are a good place for taking photos.C.All creatures living in caves are blind.D.It’s difficult to wake up hibernating creatures.4.What can be the best title for the text?A.The Unique Life Cycle in CavesB.The Formation Process of CavesC.Possible Dangers of Cave ExplorationD.Caves and the Strange

AYears ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The next building was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the te in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. Whata surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.21. “It dawned on me” in paragraph 4 probably means “________”.A. I knew it grew lightB. it cheered me upC. I began to understand itD. it began to get dark22. It’s clear that ___________.A. the writer had never met the woman beforeB. the writer often washed the windowC. they both worked as cleanersD. they lived in a small town23. From the passage, we can learn___________.A. one shouldn’t criticize others very oftenB. one should often make his windows cleanC. one must judge himself before he judges othersD. one must look at others through his dirty windowsBOn Sunday 23 April, more than 30, 000 people participated in the 2017 London Marathon, running 26.2 miles (42.2 kilometers) around the city centre.The London Marathon has taken place every year since 1981. At the first one just6,225 people completed the course, and since then it has grown into one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It is one of the “World Marathon Majors”, which is a competition made up of six global marathon events. The overall male and female winners receive $ 1 million in prize money between them. There are eleven people who have run every London Marathon since it began—they call themselves the “Ever Presents”.This year, the winners of the London Marathon were surprisingly both from Kenya— Daniel Wanjiru, who finished in 2 hours and 5 minutes, and Mary Keitany, whose time was 2 hours and 17 minutes.However, most marathon runners are not professional athletes. They are amateurs who have trained for months to raise money for charity or just as a personal challenge. For example, Tom Harrison took three days just to reach the run’s halfway point, as he is crawling the course on his hands and knees dressed as a gorilla(大猩猩), trying to raise money and attention for the charity “The Gorilla Organization”.Matthew Rees was another runner to encourage people, as he stopped just before the finish line to help David Wyeth run the last 200m. They did not know each other before, but Matthew saw that David was exhausted and possibly close to collapsing, and wanted to help him finish.Every year there are lots of touching stories like this from the London Marathon, and it is a huge achievement even to run the 26.2 miles!24. What do we know about London Marathon from the text?A. It has been held continuously for 37 years.B. Most of its runners are professional athletes.C. Each winner can receive $ 1 million in prize money.D. It’s the most influential sporting event in the world25. What makes the winners of London Marathon this year special?A. Their speedB. Their nationality.C. Their prize money.D. Their purpose.26. Why does the author mention the story of Tom Harrison?A. To tell us competitors can help each other.B. To prove some amateurs are not good runners.C. To indicate participation matters more than success.D. To show the sports event means charity for some people.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Touching Stories behind MarathonB. Impressive Marathon RunnersC. The London MarathonD. The History of the London MarathonCWhat should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any especially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.28. What is the passage mainly about?A. The importance of working hard at school.B. Choosing a career according to one’s strengths.C. How to face one’s weakness.D. The value of school work.29. All the subjects may have direct value for job hunting EXCEPT ________.A. mathematicsB. EnglishC. historyD. technical drawing30. The writer thinks that a student’s part-time job is probably ________.A. a good way to find out his weak pointsB. of great use for his work in the futureC. one of the best ways of earning extra moneyD. a waste of time he could have spent on study31. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good, he ________.A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilitiesB. will be regretful about his bad resultsC. may also do well in his future workD. should restart his study at schoolDBatteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems.

Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.32. Which of the following is TRUE of Jae Kwon?A. He developed a chemical battery.B. He teaches chemistry at MU.C. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.D. He is working on a nuclear energy source.33. Liquid semiconductor is used to ________.A. reduce the damage to lattice structureB. test the power of nuclear batteriesC. decrease the size of nuclear batteriesD. get rid of the radioactive waste34. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery ________.A. uses a solid semiconductorB. will soon replace the present onesC. could be extremely thinD. has passed the final test35.

1.—Where is Peter? I can’t find him anywhere.—He went to the library after breakfast and__________his essay there ever since.A.wroteB.had writtenC.has been writingD.is writing【答案】C【易错点拨】解答此题的关键是要抓住时间状语ever since,否如此会想当然地认为空处应和and 前面的went to the library的时态保持一致,误选一般过去时。
2.A common memory they all have__________ their school days is the school uniform.A.ofB.onC.toD.with【答案】A【解析】考查介词的用法。
句意:他们对校园岁月的共同记忆就是校服。

but for "要不是,倘假设没有",符合句意。
4.It might have saved me some trouble __________the schedule.A.did I knowB.have I knownC.do I knowD.had I known【答案】D【解析】考查虚拟语气的倒装。
根据主句中的"might have saved"可知,从句谓语动词应该用过去完成时,表示对过去事实的虚拟。
完整的从句是if I had known the schedule,其中的if可以省略,同时将had 提前,构成倒装。
5.Like ancient sailors, birds can find their way__________the sun and the stars.edB.having usedinge【答案】C【解析】考查非谓语动词。
句意:就像古代的水手,鸟能利用太阳和星星区分路。
birds与use是逻辑上的主谓关系,并且use表示的动作与谓语动词find 同时发生,故用现在分词作伴随状语。

句意:营造一种气氛,让员工们感觉(自己)是团队的一分子,此乃一大挑战。
先行词是atmosphere,空处在定语从句中作地点状语," 在……气氛中"用介词in,所以选C。
8.Little Tom sat__________watching the monkey dancing in front of him.A.amazeB.amazingC.amazedD.to amaze【答案】C9.We’d better discuss everything __________ before we work out the plan.A.in detailB.in generalC.on purposeD.in time【答案】A【解析】考查介词短语。

根据语境可知,此处描述的是客观事实,因此使用一般现在时。
II.阅读理解(每一小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you don’t land the job you want, you’ll still gain something from the process.Develop your interview skills. The more jobs you apply for, th e better you’ll get at interviewing. 2It helps with everything from getting into college to landing a full-time job when the time comes.Get better at dealing with rejection. 3Rejection is a fact of life, and there’s no denying(否认) that it can be hard to handle. The good news is that the more we face rejection and learn to deal with the feelings that go with it, the easier it becomes to get past the hurt and bounce back.4Did you take a job that wasn’t your first choice? You might discover a new skill or in terest you never knew you had. Get offered the perfect job? Feel your self-esteem soar(急升)! And if nothing works out? You may decide to start your own business.Push the limits of your comfort zone. Yes, it’s a lot easier to sit home doing the same stuff you always do. But going out job-hunting can push you out of that comfort zone into a whole new experience. 5A. Face less competition.B. Learn something about yourself.C. And you never know what you may find.D. You have nothing to lose and lots to gain.E. It’s unlikely to get the first job you interview for.F. It is true that jobs for teenagers can be tough to find.G. Learning how to come across well in an interview is a skill you’ll use forever.【文章大意】本文为议论文。
作者列举了建议青少年暑期兼职的四个理由。
1.F 【解析】根据空前的"all kinds of negative stuff(东西)"与空后的"But they are out there"可知,前后句之间存在转折关系,故F项符合语境。
2.G 【解析】根据本段的主题句"Develop your interview skills"以与G项中的"an interview" "a skill"与"interview skills"的对应关系可知G项符合语境。
3.E 【解析】根据该段主题句"Get better at dealing with rejection"以与空后内容得知,E项"第一次面试就得到工作不大可能"符合语境。
4.B 【解析】其余三个主题句均是祈使句,故本空也应填一个祈使句,只有A项和B项符合这个要求。
再根据该段中的问句和答句可知,此处讲的是工作可以让人们了解自己,故B项符合语境。
5.C 【解析】根据该段主题句"Push the limits of your comfort zone"以与关键词"a whole new experience"可知要挑战自己,尝试新事物,收获惊喜,故C项符合语境。
