Grammar and V ocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and r the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank4/ 22A well-known landscape photographerAlexander Henderson was born in Scotland in 1831 and was the son of a successful merchant. He spent much of his childhood (21)_______ (play) on the beach or fishing in the streams nearby. In 1849 he began a three-year apprenticeship to become an accountant. Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it (22)_______ (please) his family.Learning photography in Montreal around the year 1857, Henderson quickly took (23) _______ up as a serious amateur. Later, he became a personal friend and colleague of the Scottish Canadian photographer William Notman. (24)_______ their friendship, their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman's landscapes (25) _______ (note) for their bold realism, Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images (26)_______ _______ _______ he published his first major collection of landscape photographs in 1865, he gained great fame for reflecting the romantic British landscape tradition in his works. The publication had limited circulation (only seven copies have ever been found), where the contents of each copy (27)_______(vary) significantly and proved a useful source for evaluating Henderson's early work.In 1866, he gave up his business to open a photographic studio, (28) _______ (advertise) himself as portrait and landscape photographer. From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views. His numerous photographs of city life (29)_______ (reveal) in street scenes, houses, and markets are alive with human activity. There was sufficient demand for these types of scenes and others he took depicting the pearl trade, steamboats and waterfalls to enable him to make a living.In 1892 Henderson accepted a full-time position with the CPR as manager of a photographic department (30)_______ he was to set up and administer. That summer he made his trip west, photographing extensively along the railway line as far as Victoria. He continued in this post until 1897, when he retired completely from photography.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can5/ 22be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Mars -- the next frontierIt sounds like something from the fields of science fiction--a space expedition into the vast 31_______ of space, heading towards the Red Planet. While we're not quite ready to put a person on land, the question we ask today is: why are so many countries interested in going to Mars?The space race saw the USA and USSR 32_______ to achieve firsts in spaceflight. The Soviet Union released Sputnik 1, an artificial satellite, before anyone else, and the US landed on the Moon first. Now it appears that Mars is the celestial body of desire. While the honour of being the first nation to touchdown is an obvious 33_______ , there are other reasons we want to get there.One of these could be the 34_______ of our species You only have to look at the fossilised remains of the dinosaurs to see the benefit of finding another 35_______ planet. While Mars doesn't have the right conditions to call it home just yet, there's always the idea of terraforming-- changing the environment of a planet to 36_______ our needs to live.However, not everyone agrees. Leading astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has said the 37_______of altering habitability of another planet because of the damage we have done to Earth is not 38_______ when we can simply terraform Earth.It seems he main reason at the moment is the search for signs of life. It has long been believed that, at one time, Mars was abundant with life. Now seemingly dead, the 39_______ fossils could answer questions about our own evolution and that of our planet. One theory is that bacterial life on our planet didn't start here, but was transferred via asteroid (小行星) from Mars.One benefit 40_______ by scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson is that landing on Mars may inspire more people to become interested in science and astronomy. Surely6/ 22inspiring a new generation to visit the stars is reason enough.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages 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.Moral sentiments countOrganizations and societies rely on fines and rewards to control people's self-interest in the service of the common good. The 41_______ of a ticket keeps drivers in line, and the promise of a bonus inspires high performance. But incentives (激励) can also 42_______, minifying the very behavior they're meant to encourage.A generation ago, Richard Titmuss claimed that paying people to donate blood43 _______ the supply. Economists were skeptical, citing a lack of scientific evidence. But since then, new data and models have prompted a sea change in how economists think about incentives--showing, among other things, that Titmuss was right in so many cases that businesses should 44_______.Experimental economists have found that offering to pay women for donating blood decreases the number willing to donate by almost half, and that letting them contribute the payment to charity 45_______ the effect. Dozens of recent experiments show that rewarding self-interest with economic incentives can have the opposite result when they destroy what Adam Smith called "the moral sentiments(情绪)”. The psychology here has escaped blackboard economists, but it will be no surprise to people in business: When we take a job or buy a car, we are not only trying to get stuff-- we are also trying to be a certain kind of person. 46_______ , people desire to be respected by others as ethical and 47_______. And they don't want to be taken for losers. Rewarding blood donations may not serve the intended purpose because it suggests that the donor is less interested in being 48_______ than in making a dollar. Incentives also run into trouble when they signal that the employer 49_______ the employee or is greedy. Close supervision of workers coupled with 50_______ for performance is textbook economics, but it can lead to the depression of employees.7/ 22Perhaps most important, incentives affect what our actions signal, whether we're being self-interested or civic-minded, manipulated or trusted and they can imply--sometimes wrongly--what 51_______ us. Fines or public criticism that appeal to our moral sentiments by signaling social disapproval (think of littering) can be highly effective. But incentives go wrong when they 52_______ or diminish our ethical sensibilities.This does not mean it's 53_______ to appeal to self-interested and ethical motivations at the same time--just that efforts to do so often fail. 54_______ , policies support socially valued ends not only by controlling self-interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness. The small tax on plastic grocery bags passed by law in Ireland in 2002 that resulted in their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect. It punished offenders 55_______ while conveying a moral message. Carrying a plastic bag joined wearing a fur coat in the gallery of anti-social anachronisms.41. A.temptation B.threat C.value D.equivalent42. A. overflow B.backfire C. survive D. work43. A.reduced B. affected C. afforded D.balanced44. A. cut back B. stand by C. take note D. hold on45.

Surprisingly D.Ideally8/ 2255. A. publicly B.severely C. monetarily D. mildlySection BDirections: Read the following three 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)Wonder materialMaurice Ward and his family ran ladies' hairdresser’s in Yorkshire, England. Ward was an inventor by nature and liked to mix his own hair dyes and products, claiming that they were more effective than the products supplied by cosmetics manufacturers like L'Oreal and Garnier. In the 1980s his inventiveness found a new outlet when he bought an industrial extruder--a machine that forms plastics-and began experimenting with making different types of sheet plastic. Then in 1985 something happened which was to change his life.A British Airtours plane bound for Corfu caught fire at Manchester Airport just before it took off. Although the plane was still on the ground, the results of the fire were destructive within forty seconds, 55 of the people inside died from smoke and poisonous air breathed in. Ward determined that he would make a material that would be much more fire-resistant than the plastics from which the interior was largely constructed. He began trying out different mixtures in a kitchen food blender. When he found a formulation that looked promising, he would shape it into sheet form and then test its fire resistance. The results got better and better until finally he hit on a material that would resist temperatures of 2, 500 C, not give off poisonous air and still remain cool enough to be touched. Starlite was bornYet here we are, thirty years on, and Starlite is still an unpatented and unexploited material. So what went wrong?Naturally, Ward kept the formula a secret. He never wrote it down, only telling the exact proportions of its 21 ingredients to a few of his closest family members. He refused to apply for a patent, since that would involve revealing its composition. No9/ 22one else was allowed to analyse it nor was any company given a sample for fear that they might reverse-engineer it.Consequently, no deal was ever struck and in May 2011 Maurice Ward died. It would be incorrect to say that he took his secret to the grave because some of the family still know it, but he certainly took his own dreams of personal wealth and fame with him. Why? Was it greed? Was it that, as an amateur, he felt a lack of respect from the scientific community? Or was he simply too protective of his idea to share it with others? We may never know. What is certain is that his loss is the world’s loss, too.56. What can we most probably infer about Maurice Ward according to the passage?A. He preferred fame to money.B.He was born with a creative spirit.C. He opposed established institutions.D. He got his genius partly from his parents.57. How did Ward develop Starlite?A. He converted it in the kitchen food blender.B. He found the material from the interior of planes.C. He got inspiration from the hair dyes and products.D. He experimented with materials and examined their fire-resistance.58. Which of the following statements about Starlite is TRUE?A. Its secret died with Maurice Ward.B. It gets warmer than plastics when heated.C. It could have brought Maurice great wealth.D. Some company reverse-engineered it without permission.59. We can learn from the passage that _______ .A. Innovation requires lots of efforts and deserves protection10/ 22B. The protectiveness of an invention may cause the world great losses.C. The big companies' ill intentions are to blame for the loss of Starlite.D. The neglect of talented people may cost the world valuable discoveries.(B)Things you need to know about your STRESS right nowAfter 60 years of research, scientists have determined what provokes stress. There's even a handy acronym: NUTS.N is for Novelty: This is something new you've not experienced before, like the first day of school or a new job.U is for Unpredictability: When you don't know how something is going to take shape, as is the case during a trip to the dentist.T is for Threat to the Ego: When your competence is threatened, such as in front of colleagues. We're very sensitive to this.S is for Sense of Control: When you feel you have little or no control over the situation, like being stuck in traffic.It's helpful to identify your sources of stress, because a problem well-defined is a problem almost solved. The opposite of stress is not relaxation---it's resilience. If you tell your brain that you can deal with this, it will stop producing the stress hormone and you will calm down11/ 22Get on your bike!As various bits of research have shown, cycling will lower your stress levels, whether you're doing a quick errand or committing to a lifetime on two wheels.15 MINUTES LATERA 2013 study out of Japan showed a marked drop in people's stress levels after they pedalled for just 15 minutes on a stationary bike.AN HOUR LATERResearchers found in 2015 that, compared to their cycling colleagues, those who drove or took the subway breathed more shallowly an hour later---a sure sign of stress.18 YEARS LATERAfter following 17,985 adult commuters for 18 years, U.K. researchers discovered in 2014 that those who walked or biked reported being happier, more confident and better able to face their problems.①____________In a 2015 study, researchers subjected 66 teen girls to a stress test. Some of them held their mothers' hands during the test; others had to go it alone. The girls who hadcontact with their moms were able to manage stress more effectively. It's what psychologists refer to as emotional load sharing.②____________In a 2007 UCLA study, some patients hospitalized for heart failure spent 12 minutes with a therapy dog, while another group interacted with a volunteer. The dogcrowd experienced greater decreases in their anxiety level compared to those patients whose visitors could actually talk back.60. __________---may suffer the most stress relatively.A. Luna, 19--she has well prepared for her first internship with the help of her mother12/ 22B. Tom, 29-his first day of work starts at 9: 00 am, but he's in a traffic jam at 8: 50 amC. Karol, 39-she finally had her decayed tooth pulled out last Thursday at the dentist'sD. Jenny, 49-her colleagues are planning to give her a farewell party and she's in the dark61. Which chart can best illustrate the effect of cycling ?A BC D62. Which of the following may best suit the numbered blanks?A. ①Raise your hand! ②Find a volunteer companion!B. ①Raise your hand! ②Get a furry companion!C.①Hug your family! ②Get furry companion!D. ①Hug your family! ②Find a volunteer companion!13/ 22(C)Bretton Woods revisitedOn July 22, 1944, as allied troops were racing across Normandy to liberate Paris, representatives of 44 nations meeting at the Mount Washington resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, created a financial and monetary system for the postwar era, referred to as Bretton Woods system.John Maynard Keynes, leader of the British delegation, was playing a tricky dual role. He had proposed a new monetary system to free the world from the Great Depression. He hoped that the new monetary system, would be the international pillar for the series of domestic measures that came to be known as Keynesian---the use of public spending to cure depression and the regulation of financial markets to prevent downturns caused by failed private financial investments. Keynes was also hoping to restore Britain's prewar position as a leading industrial and financial power. His two roles overlapped, but far from perfectly The Americans shared the British desire to restore world growth, but not to preserve Britain's empire.Keynes wrote to his colleague after the conference that in the new International Monetary Fund, "we have in truth got both in substance and in phrasing all that we could reasonably hope for. "The new World Bank, Keynes declared, offered "grand possibilities. .. The Americans are virtually committing themselves to quite huge untied loans for reconstruction and development.Yet in many respects, Bretton Woods was failure for Keynes and the British. America today is often described as the only surviving superpower, but in 1944 U.S. supremacy was towering. Germany and Japan were on the edge of ruin. Britain had gone massively into debt. The Russians had lost tens of millions of soldiers and civilians. America was unharmed, its casualties were modest by comparison, it held most of the world's financial reserves, and its industrial plant was mightier than ever.Though Keynes inspired Bretton Woods, the Americans won the day. In most matters, a rival design by Keynes's American counterpart, Harry Dexter White, prevailed. White, a left-wing New Dealer serving as No. 2 man at the Department of Treasury, shared Keynes's basic views on money. But the White plan provided a far more modest fund and bank. Instead of the generous extension of wartime lend-lease14/ 22aid that Keynes was promoting, the British had to settle for an American loan, to be repaid with interestThe Bretton Woods system was welcomed as a vast improvement over both the rigid gold standard of pre-1914 and the monetary disorder of the interwar period. For a quarter-century, Bretton Woods enhanced a rare period of steady growth, full employment, and financial stability. But in many respects, the boastful role of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bretton Woods rules specifying fixed exchange rates was a convenient illusion. The system's true pillar was the United States the U.S. dollar as global currency; the U.S. economy as the consumer market for other nations' exports; and U.S. recovery aid in the form of the Marshall Plan, which dwarfed the function of the World Bank.In the early 1970s, the Bretton Woods system came crashing down when domestic inflation forced the United States to devalue its own currency and cease playing the dominant role. Monetary instability and slower growth followed.63. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?A. Keynes was satisfied with the outcome of the conference.B. Keynes further explained the idea of monetary reform he presented.C. Keynes emphasized the importance of having a new World Bank.D. Keynes pointed out the important role America played in postwar era.64. According to the passage, Keynes and White had different views on_____.A. the roles of US and Britain in postwar eraB. the basic principles related to loansC. the timing and target of giving fundD. the interest rate British banks should offer65. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?A. The Bretton Woods system improved the rigid gold standard of the interwar periodB. International Monetary Fund dominated the world market in many fields.15/ 22C. The Bretton Woods system largely depended on the US economic success.D. Many countries received financial aid from the World Bank66. The passage is mainly about _____.A. the role of economy in the postwar eraB. two types of postwar diplomacy and their resultsC. an individual's contribution to the postwar worldD. the development of a financial system and its impact(D)The myth of short-term memoryShort-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, including what you intend to do in the next few seconds 67________ You may think about what you'll say next in a conversation or walk to the hall closet with the intention of getting a pair of gloves.Short-term memory is easily disturbed or disrupted. 68________ You do this by thinking about them, perhaps repeating them over and over again ("I'm going to the closet to get gloves") But any distraction a new thought, someone asking you a16/ 22question, the telephone ringing---can disrupt short-term memory. Our ability to automatically restore the contents of the short-term lightly with every decade after 30.69________ I've been teaching undergraduates for my entire career and can attest that even 20-year-olds make short-term memory errors--loads of them. They walk into the wrong classrooms; they show up to exams without the requisite No. 2 pencil they forget something I just said 2 minutes before. These are similar to the kinds of things 70-year-olds do.The relevant difference is not age but rather how we describe these events, the stories we tell ourselves about them. Twenty-year-olds don't think, "Oh dear, this must be early-onset brain damage.” They think, “ I really need to get more than four hours of sleep."The 70-year-old observes these same events and worries about her brain health. This is not to say that brain damage related memory impairments are fiction.70________ In the absence of brain disease, even the oldest older adults show little or no cognitive memory decline beyond the age 85 and 90.Section CDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Towering mountain titans, a cozy valley and an infinite blue sky promised fantastic potential for exploration. For me, no newly discovered sights or foreign landscapes can compare with its beauty.That is until I was invited to explore Guizhou province by the China Storyteller Partnerships Tour. Had someone vividly described how beautiful Guizhou can be in poeticeyes. I will attempt to do so.During my trip around the city of Xingyi, in Guizhou, I saw the artwork of the Bouyei ethnic group. They use dyes produced from local plants to make clothing of striking blues and greens. Local elders still practice weaving with artful wooden machines and pass that tradition on to their grandchildren.My father used to drag my brothers and me on yearly fishing trips around Arizona. We would compete to catch the largest fish, and in the mornings, Dad would cook us a basic breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast. I sat in a small boat in the middle of the lake, with fishing pole moving slowly in my impatient hands, and held my bored tongue while my father attempted to share with me the whispers of the wind, a fish dancing on the surface of the lake or the majesty of a hawk hunting for prey overhead. On my trip to Guizhou I had theopportunity to paddle on Wanfeng lake. At one point I rested, floating at the center of the lake, listening to the spaces between silence and taking in the surrounding karst (喀斯特) mountains. I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father while fishing.I’ve lived away from Arizona for 10 long years, carving my own destiny in China. I’ve managed to build myself a family, a career, a livelihood, and various projects. I feel as thoughI have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt home.4、What do we know about the author’s hometown?A. Situated in the north of US, it is home to Grand Canyon.B. It has varied landscapes, ranging from plateau to valley.C. Apparently, there’s no comparison in terms of beauty.D. The author spent his childhood and adulthood in his hometown.5、What does the underlined word “substitute” probably mean in paragraph 2?A. Experience.B. Replacement.C. Objection.D. Agreement.6、What is the purpose of paragraph 4?A. To express his regret not listening to his father attentively.B. To recall the most unforgettable experience with his family.C. To compare the trip on Wangfeng lake with his former fishing trips.D. To suggest that his trip in Guizhou takes him back to his childhood.7、What does the author think of his life in Guizhou?A. Inevitable.B. Favorable.C. Demanding.D. Astonishing.The recent reports of a 4-year-old girl on a Shanghai beach have gone viral on social media platforms, provoking debate about whether China should criminalize negligence in child supervision.The father of the little girl claimed that he left her alone on the beach for about 12 minutes to fetch his phone. However, she was nowhere to be found when he was back. Surveillance (监控) videos show that she waited for about 10 minutes before walking toward the water’s edge alone, and then d isappeared into the water. Two weeks later, her body was discovered about 100 kilometers away in neighboring Zhejiang Province.The core issue in this case is the father’s leaving his young daughter unattended on the beach, causing her tragic death. Should such behavior, when it causes harm to a child, be seenas a criminal act? In an online survey, more than 90 percent of respondents insisted that the father be held legally responsible and face criminal punishments.Nevertheless, according to Liu Chunquan, a lawyer, it may not satisfy the criteria for criminal negligence, since the primary focus of Chinese criminal law is on extreme cases of parental neglect, such as physical abuse and mental torture. Rarely do legal authorities charge parents; instead, they are just likely to face penalties consisting of warnings and fines.In 2022, a 2-year-old baby drowned in a cesspool while in the company of his father. The court ruled shared responsibility between the father and the cesspool’s owner, with a 7:3 proport ion. The owner was ordered to pay 20,000 yuan to the child’s family. Unluckily, similar cases do exist nationwide. Roughly, 100,000 children lose their lives in accidents annually in China, which is largely due to negligence, such as parents leaving their children unattended, either in locked cars or at home. Besides, drowning is now the main cause of death for children aged 1 to 14 years old.It is no wonder that an increasing number of netizens request that specific laws and regulations be passed to ensure the safety of children and their well-being. Hopefully, criminalizing child supervision negligence in China can serve as a warning and precaution.However, downsides of introducing such legislation may also emerge. For instance, it’s difficult to distinguish between a regrettable accident and criminal negligence, so that over-criminalization can be triggered, in which well-meaning parents making honest mistakes are charged with a crime.Therefore, a more balanced approach to addressing the issue of infant safety should involve a combination of new legislation, education and support services. The ultimate objective is to prevent similar catastrophes in the future. We must recognize that children are not only their parents’ offspring, but also the nation’s f uture.8、What can we infer from the tragedy of the 4-year-old girl?A. Her father’s carelessness and negligence should be to blame.B. The beach in Shanghai should not be open to small children.C. Her father has been sentenced to severe penalties by the police.D. She would have survived if she had not waited in the water for a long time.9、What are the figures in paragraph 5 intended to prove?A. Irresponsible adults contribute to children’s death.B. People can’t be too concerned about child safety.C. Kids shouldn’t be allowed to swim alone.D. Parents’ constant monitoring is a must.10、Updated legislation in child supervision is in demand for the following reasons except _______.A. the mild penalties in the existing lawsB. parents’ ignorance of poten tial dangersC. frequent occurrence of such incidentsD. masses of netizens’ urgent appeals11、What attitude does the author hold to criminalizing child supervision negligence in China?A. Indifferent.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Supportive.Li Bai holds a wine cup in his hand, while Du Fu sits in front of a desk, writing poems on the paper in front of him. It’s not that we have traveled to the past. Modern technology has brought ancient poets “back to life” .The two great poets, along with other humanoid robots were presented at the World Robot Conference 2023 in late August in Beijing. They looked similar to real human beings.“The skin is made of medical-grade bionic silicone (仿生硅胶) which is why the skin looks soft and veins can be seen through it,” CG TN explained in a video about Liaoning-based producer EXROBOTS. Goosebumps (鸡皮疙瘩) and palm lines can also be seen on the arms and hands.Researchers are also trying hard to create other features of humans on robots. A US robotics company Apptronik brought out its humanoid robot called Apollo on Aug 23. Apollo has around 30 muscles. However, humans have around 300 muscles in our bodies. For now, engineers can only simplify the muscles, allowing them to do basic movements like holding objects and walking.The robot also contains cameras, helping it map out a 360-degree view of its environment. It also has sensors (传感器) in its head to help keep balance when walking on uncertain surfaces.Nowadays, bionic human-like robots mostly work with humans, as tour guides or by helping visitors at front desks. There are also robots that share the work of nurses, such as handing out medicine. This could be because people are comfortable living and working with machines that look or act like them. “They can strike a chord (引起共鸣) with people,” a US robotics scientist Marc Raibert told New Yorker.As more humanoid robots come out, safety will be the key, according to the RobotReportwebsite. When a 70- kilogram robot breaks down and falls, humans nearby may be hurt.12、What doe s brought ancient poets “back to life” mean in Paragraph 1?A. The robots can create better poems than poets.B. Technology can make ancient poets back to life.C. Visitors can experience real ancient life with robots.D. The robots looked and acted like real ancient poets.13、What does the skin of robots made by EXROBOTS show?A. How human-like their robots are.B. How soft the robots skin is.C. How the robots’ skin should be made.D. How different they are from other robots.14、What can Apollo do with built-in sensors?A. Wave at humans.B. Walk stably.C. Know human faces.D. See better.15、What do people worry about with human-like robots?A. People may be at war with the robots.B. Human-like robots look scary.C. The robots weight may cause problems.D. The robots may get out of control.二、七选五There’s plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect.For the study, researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touchingabout the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.So exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults? As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults, especially theirchildren.Researchers say that children need role models who can guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner Parents don’t have to be experts inA. It’s so good going for a walk around trees.B. Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.C. That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example.D. What’s more important is that they spend time together with children exploring nature.E. They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively.F. In a new study, researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.G. Researche rs will study more about the connection between children’s happiness and nature.三、完形填空（20空）My sixth-grade daughter was being kicked out of school.
