They all have ginger hair, or as people usually say, they are all “redheads”.Britain may be the most red-headed country in the world. About 1 to 2 percent of the world's population has red hair, but in the UK the numbers are much 52 , with 13 percent of Scots, 10percent of the Irish, and 6 percent of people in England having red hair, according to the BBC.Scientists have tried to explain why some people have red hair for some time and now they may have found an answer:the dull 53 in Britain.“I think it is to do with the sunshine,” said Alistair Moffat, the headmaster of St Andrews University, UK. The human body needs vitamin D from 54 , but unfortunately people living in Britain do not have enough of it because of its maritime climate. 55 , Britain gets even more cloud than countries in the far north of Europe. In Sweden, for example, the average daily hours of sunshine is 5.4. In Scotland it is only 3.1 hours.To 56 this, the DNA of people living in these areas has changed 57 ; scientistscall this a mutation(变异). Originally, the 58 on our body is a mixture of two kinds of melanin - black melanin(黑色素) and red/yellow melanin, but with certain parts of DNA59 , the production of black melanin is suppressed while only red/yellow melanin is made.The 60 is red hair, light skin color, freckles(雀斑) and a greater 61 to sunlight.“We need 62 skin to get as much Vitamin D from the sun as possible,” added Moffat 63 , what's more interesting is that redhead DNA mutation is recessive, which means it is hidden and can often 64 generations without showing.“At least 1.6 million Scots carry a red-head gene mutation, and most are 65 thatthey do.,” Moffat said .This is why a person who does not have red hair can still produce red-haired children if he or she is a carrier of this special DNA.51 .A. in private B. in common C. in particular D. in reality52 .A. higher B. deeper C. closer D. more53 .A. weather B. phenomenon C. environment D. finance54 .A. atmosphere B. vegetable C. sunshine D. nature55 .A.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C or D. Choose the one that suits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Every day I check my e-mail. Most of the time I am simply doing finger exercises, another form of piano practice without the beautiful notes. Sometimes, however, I receive a gift, reminding me of the gifts in my life. The following passage is one of those gifts.Peter Jones is a 92-year-old, calm and face proud man. Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved, even though he is unable to see. He would move to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance ball of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he moved his walker skillfully to the elevator, the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room. “I love it,” he stated with the ebullience of an eight-year- old having just been presented with a new pet dog.“Mr.Jones, you haven’t been to the room,” said the nurse.“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” he replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged... it’s how I arrange my mind. I have already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice:I can spend the day in bed complaining of difficulty I have with parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as I am alive, I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.”May each of our days continue to be a gift.66.What do we know about Mr. Jones?A.

They were then asked to watch either the beautiful paintings, or the ugly paintings, or a blank panel while the team struck a short laser pulse at their hand, creating a sensation as if they had been hurt by a pin. The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense while they were viewing the beautiful paintings, compared with when considering the ugly paintings or the blank panel.Electrodes (电极) measuring the brain’s electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintings. While distractions(娱乐), such as music, are known to reduce pain in hospital, Prof de Tommaso says this is the firstresult to shoe that beauty plays a part. The findings, reported in New Scientist, also go a long way to show that beautiful surroundings could aid the healing process.“Hospitals have been designed to be functional, but we think that their aesthetic(审美能力)aspects should be taken into account too,” said the neurologist. “Beauty obviously offers a distraction that ugly paintings do not. But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse. I think these results show that more research is needed into the how a beautiful environment can reduce suffering.”Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticellis’ Birth of Venus. Pictures they found ugly included works by Pablo Picasso, the Italian 20th century artist Anonino Bueno and Columbian Fernando Botero. “these people were not art experts so some of the pictures they found ugly would be considered masterpieces by the art world,” said Prof de Tommaso.74. According to the first paragraph, people didn’t approve_______________.A. hospitals spend money on medical equipmentB. hospitals decorate their rooms with works of artC. hospitals make their environment pleasant to patientsD. hospitals treat patients with works of art75. How did the researchers make the research?A. By asking the subjects to listen to music.B. By requiring the subjects to draw paintings.C. By ordering the subjects to choose which picture is beautiful and ugly.D. By aching the subjects’ hands while they are watching paintings.76.According to the research, when designing a hospital, we should consider its____________.A. convenient facilitiesB. functional operating roomC. pleasing environmentD. bright waiting room77.The best title for the passage may be___________________.A. Patients Don’t Like PicturesB .Arts Can Be Used As a MedicineC. Ugly Patients Feel Less PainD. Beautiful Art Can Ease PainSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Most people look forward to retirement as a time they can finally take can finally take up activities that they never had the time or energy to pursue before. But some recent studies on people in their golden years are disturbing:they suggest that retirees are more likely to suffer from depression and possibly higher rates of other diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure. That’s shy a new study of French workers is welcome news.Led by Hugo Westerlund, a professor of psychology at Stockholm University, the study of more than 14,000 workers found lower rates of depression and fatigue in people after got tired while they were still employed.The scientists followed the employees of the French national gas and electric company for 14 years. They found in the year immediately after retirement, the volunteers reported 40% fewer depressive symptoms than they had in the year before their retirement. The researchers also found an 81% drop in reports of both mental and physical fatigue over the same time period.Clearly, said Westerlund, much of these decrease in physical and mental fatigue can be traced back to relief from the stresses of work. The decline in depressive symptoms suggests that retirement may be having a positive mental effect, too, which may have a lot to do with the generous pensions (养老金) that French workers enjoy. Most retirees in that country still benefit from about 80% of their yearly salaries.“The economic or financial situation in retirement is very important,” Westerlund says,” We don’t know if the decrease in fatigue and depressive symptoms is because of the removal of something bad while in work or the addition of something good while in retirement. But no matter the reason, if life in retirement is not comfortable, then we won’t see the improvements we did.”However, in European nations like France, governments are considering changes to pension plans, which may affect retirees’ health after they leave their jobs --- with less of a financial safety net, workers may no longer seem so mentally and physically happy to be out of work.78. According to some recent studies, retired people may have depression and higher rates of other diseases like______________________.79. Westerlund’s group found that in the year just after retirement most retired French workers felt much less tired both_______________________.80.

T he Flash( 闪电侠), however, makes a fun, lightning-quick and optimistic superhero. After the wild success of TV series Arrow, a TV network launched The Flash, 1 (show) the image of this Superhero, who was only a supporting character in Arrow.Like Spiderman, who gained the ability to make webs and climb walls after he2 (bite) by a spider, Barry Allen in The Flash was shocked into superhero-status by accident. A strike from a lightning put Allen into a nine-month unconscious state, and when he emerged, he found himself3 (equip) with super speed.Naturally, Allen slips on a colorful suit and becomes the Flash,a hero 4 extreme speed to fight super-powered bad guys. But the Flash also has other purposes, namely finding out the truth behind his mother’s death and his father ’s unjust imprisonment.In line with superhero series standards, The Flash features action andeye-popping special effects. There’s nothing terribly innovative here, but 5 we do get is a unique superhero with a more unusual personality. 6 Allen has gone through unpleasant childhood experience, in this show he grows into a superhero 7 powers include optimism. He’s got a group of scientists that not only save his life, but also provide him with emotional support and the tools necessary 8 (fight) crime.A big surprise for mewas that The Flash cast Prison Break star Wentworth Miller as a bad character, who uses a gun that 9 turn anything into ice. US shows began their entrance into the Chinese market with Friends, but Prison Break pushed interest in USTV series to a new height largely thanks to Miller ’s wonderful acting. Now Miller ’s back to act in The Flash. 10 is a nice surprise that this new show serves as a platform for Prison Break fans to revisit their old favorite,although this time around he’s an antagonist( 反派角色).【答案】1. showing2. was bitten/had been bitten3. equipped4. with5. what6.

With the system not yet completed or even(37)________tested after16years of work and5billion Euros($5.5 billion)invested,many are suspicious it will even work.At the public level,proposals for better administering the city include(38)________some level of autonomy(自制)to Venice,already enjoyed by some Italian regions like Trentino-Alto-Adige with its German-speaking minority,or offering tax(39)________to encourage Venice’s re-population.Just53,000people live in the historic part of the city that tourists know as Venice,down by a third from a generation ago and dropping by about1,000people a year.That means fewer people watching the neighborhood, monitoring for public maintenance(40)__________or neighbors in need.Many leave because of the increased expense or the daily difficulties in living in a city of canals,which can make even a simple errand a hard journey. III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ecology is a complicated thing.Given the facts that elephant damage often kills trees and bush fires often kill trees,it would be(41)________to assume that a combination of the two would make things worse.Contrary to this assumption,(42)______,as the recently-published research by Benjamin Wigley shows,if a tree has already been damaged,fire can(43)______help to make things better.One common way in which elephants harm trees is by stripping(剥)them of their bark(树皮).Dr Wigley, who did indeed start from the obvious(44)________,set off to find out how much worse bush fires would make the effects of this bark stripping.To serve this purpose,he set up a study in the Kruger National Park.Since1954, the Kruger has been the site of experiments in which plots of land have been burned(45)________,to understand the effects of fire on plain ecology.In these experiments,Dr Wigley looked at trees in three different zones,in one of which,the trees were burned every year;in the second,they were burned every other year,while the third zone, by contrast,was actively(46)________fire.To keep things consistent,he looked at the fate of the same tree species, the marula(马鲁拉树),in all three zones.He picked marulas because they are particular(47)________of elephant activity.Their fruit are delicious,and prized by elephants and people alike.But elephants also seem to enjoy eating their bark.In July2016he and his colleagues identified20marulas in every zone and used special tools to(48)________from each of them a circular section of bark5cm in diameter.Having imposed this damage,they(49)________the wounds over the course of the following two years,to see what would happen.To their(50)________,they discovered that the wounds of trees in fire zones recovered far better than those of trees that had seen no fires at all.Wounded trees in the annual burn zone re-grew98%of their lost(51)________during the two years of the study.Those living in the biennial(两年一次的)bum zone re-grew92%of it.But those in the zone where fires were(52)________re-grew only72%.The researchers also found something else when they were measuring the trees’wounds:ants.Ten of the20 trees in the fire-prevention zone developed ant colonies in their wounds.The ants in question were a species that is known to damage trees and is supposed to(53)________tissue healing.By contrast,only five trees in the biennial burn zone and three in the annual zone developed ants’nests in their wounds.Tt looks,therefore,as if bush fires are treating trees’wounds by killing ants that might(54)________colonize and damage them.Though such fires are surely harmful to healthy trees,it seems,in an example of two negatives making a positive,as if they are actually (55)________to sick ones.41.

The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience,rolling her eyes,huffing and sighing,checking her watch every few seconds.If she had possessed a belt,her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of dragging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.The older woman detached from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf.After the slightest hesitation,T walked over and asked if T could help her find something.The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled()on a crumpled piece of paper.The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar.Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies,about quality.Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman,I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.Looking back,T think T wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother,who'd passed away the previous Christmas.As we walked along the back of the store,I narrated its floor plan:old television shows,action movies, cartoons,science fiction.The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.We found the movie,and T complimented her on her choice.She smiled and told me it was one she'd enjoyed when she was her son's age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had.Maybe,she said with a hint of eagerness,he could enjoy it with his own young children.Then,reluctantly,I had to return the elderly woman to her keeper,who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.I accompanied the older woman to the queue at the cash register and then stepped back and lingered near the younger woman.When the older woman's turn in line came,she paid in cash,counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness she'd displayed earlier...56.What does“she had a job to do”(Para.l)mean according to the context?A.She had a regular job in the store.B.She wanted to ask for help.C.She wanted to buy a DVD. D.She was thinking of what to buy.57.What does the title of the DVD reveal according to the shop assistant?A.The elderly woman had some knowledge about movies.B.The elderly woman liked movies for young children.C.The elderly woman preferred movies her son liked.D.The elderly woman liked both old and new movies.58.While looking for the DVD with the old woman,the shop assistant was.A.hesitantB.casualC.cautiousD.considerate59.What is the main purpose of this passage?A.To describe what a movie nut is likeB.To remind readers to spend more time accompanying their familyC.To stress the importance of company and understanding.D.To explore the key aspects of current parental-child relationship(B)As unpleasant emotions go,anxiety is the roughest.Ifs a vague,pit-of-the-stomach fear that sneaks up to you—that unease you get when your boss says that she needs to talk to you right away,when the phone rings at4:00 a.m”or when your dentist looks into your mouth and says’’Hmm”for the third time.Lingering anxiety can keep you up at night,make you irritable,undermine your ability to concentrate,and ruin your appetite.And the constant state of readiness generated by anxiety~adrenaline pumping,heart racing,palms sweating—may contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease.How to prevent anxiety then?Meditate.Maybe you're just high-strung.If so,meditation(冥想)is worth a try.It cultivates a calmness that eases anxious feelings and offers a sense of control.A study at the University of Massachusetts found that volunteers who took an8-week meditation course were considerably less anxious afterward.People who are high-strung find that they are dramatically calmer with20minutes of meditation in the morning and another20 minutes after dinner.Jog,walk swim,or cycle.If you can't make time for meditation,be sure to make time for regular exercise. Exercise can have the same calming effect as meditation,particularly if ifs something repetitive like running or swimming laps.Treatment?Remember to breathe.When you’re anxious,you tend to hold your breath or breathe too shallowly.That makes you feel more anxious.Breathing slowly and deeply can have a calming effect.To make sure that you’re breathing correctly,place your hand on your diaphragm(横膈膜),just below your rib cage(胸腔).Feel it rise with each inhalation(吸气)and fall with each exhalation.Let's say you are anxious about your competence on the job.Ask yourself“What,in particular,am I afraid that I'll mess up?”Maybe you’re afraid that you get further behind and miss your deadlines.Or maybe you’re worried that you’re blowing it whenever you present your ideas ill meetings.Are your worries founded?Have you had several near misses with deadlines?Are your suggestions routinely rejected?If not,the anxiety is needless.If there is a real problem,work on a solution:Pace yourself to better meet deadlines,or join a public speaking class.60.Which of the following symptoms is NOT directly caused by anxiety?A.Lower in concentration.B.No appetite.C.Heart racing.D.High blood pressure.61.According to the passage,what can be done to avoid anxiety?A.Exercising regularly.B.Keeping breath steady.C.Breathing with the help of hands.D.Adjusting the pace of life.62.What is the last paragraph about?A.Anxiety at work and its solutions.B.People's anxiety about their capabilities.C.The reason for someone’s incompetence.D.The function of public speaking class.(C)Archaeologists used DNA taken from a broken clay pipe stem found in Maryland to build a picture of an enslaved woman who died around200years ago and had origins in modern-day Sierra Leone.One researcher called the work“a mind-blower.”“In this particular context,and from that time period,I think it’s a first,team member Hannes Schroeder told The Washington Post.“To be able to get DNA from an object like a pipe stem is quite exciting.Also it is exciting for descendant(后裔)communities...Through this technology,they're able to make a connection not only to the sitebut potentially back to Africa.”The pipe stem was found at the Belvoir plantation in Crownsville,Maryland,where enslaved people lived until 1864and where a likely slave cemetery was recently found.DNA taken from the pipe linked back to a woman either directly from or descended from the Mende people,who lived in west Africa,in an area now part of Sierra.Julie Schablitsky,the chief archaeologist with the Maryland state highway administration,told The Post the discovery,based on saliva(唾液)absorbed into the clay pipe,was a“mind-blower”.She also said records show the existence of a slave trade route from Sierra Leone to Annapolis,plied by British and American ships.“As soon as people stepped on those slave ships in Africa,she said,''whether they were from Benin or whether they were from Sierra Leone,wherever they were from,that identity was lost.Their humanity is stripped from.Who they are as a people has gone.”The new analysis is part of ongoing research around Belvoir that has given descendants of the people enslaved there new insight into the lives of their ancestors.Speaking to The Post,Nancy Daniels,a genealogist from Laurel, Maryland,who thinks she is a descendant of enslaved families from Belvoir but was not linked to the research on the pipe,called the discovery“overwhelming.”“I’m sitting here about ready to cry,”she said.“I’m sorry.I’m so happy...Thank God for the DNA.”This year,events and ceremonies are being held to mark the400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved people in America,at Jamestown,Virginia,in1619.Slavery was effectively abandoned in the US on1January 1863,with the issue by Abraham Lincoln of the Emancipation Proclamation.It formally ended in December1865, after the civil war,with the approval of the13th amendment(修正案).63.What does the phrase“a mind-blower”in paragraphs1and4refer to?A.A surpriseB.A confusionC.An excitementD.A fascination64.According to Hannes Schroeder,the pipe stem was of great significance because__________.A.it was the first direct evidence that slaves living in Maryland were originally from Africa.B.it helped the archaeologists to draw a portrait of the enslaved woman.C.it might contribute to identifying the birthplace of the descendant communities.D.it contained genic clues to the ancestral background of its owner.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The owner of the pipe once lived in what is now an area in west Africa.B.The history of slavery in America is an ongoing topic of concern.C.African slaves lost their identities when they arrived at the Belvoir plantation.D.Nancy Daniels,a genealogist was sorry for not being involved in the research.66.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.DNA from an old pipe throws lights on the origins of the enslavedB.A new research reveals the origins of enslaved African womanC.The descendants of enslaved people seek their identitiesD.DNA contributes to the breakthrough of a new researchSection CDirections:After reading the passage below,choose the best answers from the six statements according to what you have just read.A.Stephen Hawking’s wheelchair fetched$296,750at a sale at Christie's in London last November.B.Yet determining potential values of such objects isn’t easy.C.It was said to be from a tree planted by George Washington at Mount Vernon.D.The auction result surely drew the attention from both the business and economics worlds.E.The uniqueness of many of these objects further complicates efforts to put a value on them.F.Therefore the unique value of many objects proved the worth of collection.The price of a piece of historyA fresh lemon can be purchased for less than$1.But in2008,Cowan’s Auctions in Cincinnati sold a lemon blackened with age for$2,350.What was so special about this lemon?_____67_____According to a handwritten note in ink attached to a partly sealed bottle containing the lemon,the fruit was picked in May1842by Washington’s"old gardener”some 43years after the first president's deathTwo thousand dollars is a lot to pay for produce,even from the estate of a founding father.This sale,however, just might be considered a bargain compared with prices paid for other historical collectibles in recent years. _____68_____Collecting a piece of history,or an object associated with a famous person,is not brand new.Ordinary objects with extraordinary stories have increasingly been coming to auction and achieving high prices,says Thomas Venning,director of Christie's department of books and manuscripts in London.Prices are being driven up,he says, by collectors in the U.S.and,increasingly,in Asia.The Hawking wheelchair,for example,was purchased by a private museum in China.______69____For one thing,their history of ownership is both crucial and sometimes difficult to prove. Photographs of the famous person with the object,as well as documentation(such as letters,diaries or recollections byacquaintances referring to the object)can also help._____70_____To evaluate the value of a Picasso painting,one can look at recent prices paid for other Picasso paintings of the same period,similar size or style.Finding another recent sale of a lemon planted by George Washington is a different matter.Katie Horstman,head of Cowan’s American History department,says she could find no comparable items for the lemon as she prepared the piece for its auction.Ms.Horstman nevertheless eventually arrived at the estimated value at$3,000to$4,000,she says,by researching auction records for objects somehow associated with Washington that had appeared on the market.Cowans ended up estimating the value of the lemon at$3,000to$4,000,according to description on its website.Objects associated with Washington these days,Ms.Horstman says,can sell for anywhere from1,000up to tens of thousands of dollars.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Lower Oxygen Levels Threaten Marine LifeOxygen in the oceans is being lost at an alarming rate,with“dead zones”expanding rapidly and hundreds more areas showing oxygen dangerously exhausted,putting sharks,tuna,marlin and other large fish species at particular risk.Dead zones,where oxygen is effectively absent,have quadrupled(翻两番)in extent in the last half-century,and there are also at least700areas where oxygen is at dangerously low levels,up from45when research was undertaken in the1960s.The reasons behind this environmental collapse are multiple.Among all,pollutants generated by the industrial world have been the most destructive force to cause the unbalance,including a rising tide of plastic waste, as well as other pollutants.Seas are about26%more acidic than in pre-industrial times because of absorbing the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,with damaging impacts on shellfish in particular.Low oxygen levels are also associated with global heating,because the warmer water holds less oxygen and the heating causes stratification(分层)so there is less of the vital mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor layers.Oceansare expected to lose about3-4%of their oxygen by the end of this century,but the impact will be much greater in the levels closest to the surface,where many species are concentrated,and in the mid to high latitudes.Another major cause for lower oxygen is intensive farming.When excess artificial fertilizer from crops,or wastes from the meat industry,runs off the land and into rivers and seas,it feeds algae(藻类)which bloom and then cause oxygen consumption as they die and decay.The problem of dead zones has been known about for decades,but little has been done to tackle it.Now is high time to take action and help the oceans function betterV.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.面对紧急情况时,他是多么的冷静啊!(How)73.致力于保护濒临灭绝的珍稀物种,人人有责。

The animated film (21) (take) in over four billion yuan at the box office and become one of the country’s most successful films ever. It proved that China could produce animated films comparable to (22) produced in Hollywood and Japan.The film, directed by Yang Yu, was a massive undertaking(任务) from start to finish. He spent two years writing the script(剧本) and three more years making a film which required the efforts of 1,600 animators. But for Yang, it was a way to prove to himself that he (23) change his fate and inspire others to change their fate as well.“I used to suffer from a lot of prejudice after changing my career,” said Yang, “Since then I have thought about making an animated film to encourage young people to persist in their dreams.”(24) (convey) the message that “your fate is in your own hands,” Yang made some changes to the original myth. Nezha was born a devil(恶魔), (25) (fate) to cause mischief(恶作剧), but he decides to overcome his fate and to save the people of his hometown from being destroyed by Ao Bing, the third son of the Dragon King.(26) the ancient myth being very clear about the differences between the good and the bad guys, in Yang’s film, all of the characters are treated with empathy, and even the “bad” people are also victims of their fate, (27), actually, have the potential to change and become good.Over the years, I have come across a few students labeled as “devils.” Although some misbehaved simply (28) they were not mature enough, others were trouble-making and uncooperative when they were in a bad mood. Those students need to know they were not doomed to be bad. As they grew up, they would have the power to change their circumstances.If you have seen Nezha, you know (29) a terrific, entertaining film it is. But an important lesson is also conveyed in the film (30) we should not judge ourselves or others too harshly, so as not to allow those negative judgments to control our fate.Section BDirection: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

The frustration goes far beyond the failure to complete and 35 78 underwater barriers that were designed to prevent just the kind of damage that Venice has 36 this week. With the system not yet completed or even 37 tested after 16 years of work and 5 billion Euros ($5.5 billion) invested, many are suspicious it will even work.At the public level, proposals for better administering the city including 38 some level of autonomy(自制) to Venice, already enjoyed by some Italian regions like Trentino-Alto-Adige with its German-speaking minority, or offering tax 39 to encourage Venice’s repopulation.Just 53,000 people live in the historic part of the city that tourists know as Venice, down by a third from a generation ago and dropping by about 1,000 people a year. That means fewer people watching the neighborhood, monitoring for public maintenance 40 or neighbors in need. Many leave because of the increased expense or the daily difficulties in living in a city of canals, which can make even a simple errand a hard journey.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ecology is a complicated thing. Given the facts that elephant damage often kills trees and bush fires often kill trees, it would be 41 to assume that a combination of the two would make things worse. Contrary to this assumption, 42 , as the recently-published research by Benjamin Wigley shows, if a tree has already been damaged, fire can 43 help to make things better.One common way in which elephants harm trees is by stripping(剥) them of their bark(树皮). Dr Wigley, who did indeed start from the obvious 44 , set off to find out how much worse bush fires would make the effects of this bark stripping. To serve this purpose, he set up a study in the Kruger National Park. Since 1954, the Kruger has been the site of experiments in which plots of land have been burned 45 , to understand the effects of fire on plain ecology. In these experiments, Dr Wigley looked at trees in three different zones, in one of which, the trees were burned every year; in the second, they were burned every other year, while the third zone, by contrast, was actively 46 fire. To keep things consistent, he looked at the fate of the same tree species, the marula(马鲁拉树), in all three zones. He picked marulas because they are particular 47 of elephant activity. Their fruit are delicious, and prized by elephants and people alike. But elephants also seem to enjoy eating their bark. In July 2016 he and his colleagues identified 20 marulas in every zone and used special tools to 48 from each of them a circular section of bark 5 cm in diameter. Having imposed this damage, they 49 the wounds over the course of the following two years, to see what would happen. To their 50 , they discovered that the wounds of trees in fire zones recovered far better than those of trees that had seen no fires at all. Wounded trees in the annual burn zone re-grew 98% of their lost 51 during the two years of the study. Those living in the biennial(两年一次的) burn zone re-grew 92% of it. But those in the zone where fires were 52 re-grew only 72%.The researchers also found something else when they were measuring the trees’ wounds: ants. Ten of the 20 trees in the fire-prevention zone developed ant colonies in their wounds. The ants in question were a species that is known to damage trees and is supposed to 53 tissue healing. By contrast, only five trees in the biennial burn zone and three in the annual zone developed ants’ nests in their wounds. It looks, therefore, as if bush fires are treating trees’ wounds by killing ants that might54 colonize and damage them. Though such fires are surely harmful to healthy trees, it seems, in an example of two negatives making a positive, as if they are actually 55 to sick ones.41.

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)There was something in the elderly woman's behavior that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, the woman moved with deliberation, and there was no hesitation in her gestures. She was as good as anyone else, her movements suggested. And she had a job to do.The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, huffing and sighing, checking her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a belt, her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of dragging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.The older woman detached from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled(潦草地写) on a crumpled piece of paper. The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality.Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walkwith me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who'd passed away the previous Christmas.As we walked along the back of the store, I narrated its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.We found the movie, and I complimented her on her choice. She smiled and told me it was one she'd enjoyed when she was her son's age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said with a hint of eagerness, he could enjoy it with his own young children. Then, reluctantly, I had to return the elderly woman to her keeper, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.I accompanied the older woman to the queue at the cash register and then stepped back and lingered near the younger woman. When the older woman's turn in line came, she paid in cash, counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness she'd displayed earlier ...56. What does "she had a job to do" (Para. 1) mean according to the context?A. She had a regular job in the store.B. She wanted to ask for help.C. She wanted to buy a DVD. D. She was thinking of what to buy.57. What does the title of the DVD reveal according to the shop assistant?A. The elderly woman had some knowledge about movies.B. The elderly woman liked movies for young children.C. The elderly woman preferred movies her son liked.D. The elderly woman liked both old and new movies.58. While looking for the DVD with the old woman, the shop assistant was ______.A. hesitantB. casualC. cautiousD. considerate59. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To describe what a movie nut is likeB. To remind readers to spending more time accompanying familyC. To stress the importance of company and understanding.D. To explore the key aspects of current parental-child relationship(B)As unpleasant emotions go, anxiety is the roughest. It's a vague, pit-of-the-stomach fear that sneaks up to you -- that unease you get when your boss says that she needs to talk to you right away, when the phone rings at 4:00 a.m., orwhen your dentist looks into your mouth and says "Hmm" for the third time.Lingering anxiety can keep you up at night, make you irritable, undermine your ability to concentrate, and ruin your appetite. And the constant state of readiness generated by anxiety--- adrenaline pumping, heart racing, palms sweating--may contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease.How to prevent anxiety then?Meditate. Maybe you're just high-strung. If so, meditation(冥想) is worth a try. It cultivates a calmness that eases anxious feelings and offers a sense of control. A study at the University of Massachusetts found that volunteers who took an 8-week meditation course were considerably less anxious afterward. People who are high-strung find that they are dramatically calmer with 20 minutes of meditation in the morning and another 20 minutes after dinner.Jog,walk, swim, or cycle.If you can't make time for meditation, be sure to make time for regular exercise. Exercise can have the same calming effect as meditation, particularly if it's something repetitive like running or swimming laps.Treatment?Remember to breathe. When you're anxious, you tend to hold your breath or breathe too shallowly. That makes you feel more anxious. Breathing slowly and deeply can have a calming effect. To make sure that you're breathing correctly, place your hand on your diaphragm(横膈膜), just below your rib cage(胸腔). Feel it rise with each inhalation(吸气) and fall with each exhalation.Let's say you are anxious about your competence on the job. Ask yourself "What, in particular, am I afraid that I'll mess up?" Maybe you’re afraid that you get further behind and miss your deadlines. Or maybe you're worried that you're blowing it whenever you present your ideas in meetings. Are your worries founded? Have you had several near misses with deadlines? Are your suggestions routinely rejected? If not, the anxiety is needless. If there is a real problem, work on a solution: Pace yourself to better meet deadlines, or join a public speaking class.60.Which of the following symptoms is NOT directly caused by anxiety?A. Lower in concentration.B. No appetite.C. Heart racing.D. High blood pressure.61. According to the passage, what can be done to avoid anxiety?A. Exercising regularly.B. Keeping breath steady.C. Breathing with the help of hands.D. Adjusting the pace of life.62. What is the last paragraph about?A. Anxiety at work and its solutions.B. People's anxiety about their capabilities.C. The reason for someone's incompetence.D. The function of public speaking class.(C)Archaeologists used DNA taken from a broken clay pipe stem found in Maryland to build a picture of an enslaved woman who died around 200 years ago and had origins in modern-day Sierra Leone. One researcher called the work “a mind-blower.”“In this particular context, and from that time period, I think it's a first,” team member Hannes Schroeder told The Washington Post. “To be able to get DNA from an object like a pipe stem is quite exciting. Also it is exciting for descendant(后裔) communities... Through this technology, they're able to make a connection not only to the site but potentially back to Africa.”The pipe stem was found at the Belvoir plantation in Crownsville, Maryland, where enslaved people lived until 1864 and where a likely slave cemetery was recently found. DNA taken from the pipe linked back to a woman either directly from or descended from the Mende people, who lived in west Africa, in an area now part of Sierra.Julie Schablitsky, the chief archaeologist with the Maryland state highway administration, told The Post the discovery, based on saliva(唾液) absorbed into the clay pipe, was a “mind-blower”. She also said records show the existence of a slave trade route Sierra Leone to Annapolis, plied(定期往来) by British and American ships. "As soon as people stepped on those slave ships in Africa," she said, “whether they were from Benin or whether they were from Sierra Leone, wherever they were from, that identity was lost. Their humanity is stripped from. Who they are as a people has gone.”The new analysis is part of ongoing research around Belvoir that has given descendants of the people enslaved there new insight into the lives of their ancestors. Speaking to The Post, Nancy Daniels, a genealogist from Laurel, Maryland, who thinks she is a descendant of enslaved families from Belvoir but was not linked to the research on the pipe, called the discovery “overwhelming.” “I'm sitting here about ready to cry,” she said. “I'm sorry. I'm so happy ... Thank God for the DNA.”This year, events and ceremonies are being held to mark the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved people in America, at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619. Slavery was effectively abandoned in the US on 1 January 1863, with the issue by Abraham Lincoln of the Emancipation Proclamation. It formally ended in December1865, after the civil war, with the approval of the 13th amendment(修正案).63. What does the phrase “a mind-blower” in paragraphs 1 and 4 refer to?A.A surpriseB. A confusionC. An excitementD. A fascination64. According to Hannes Schroeder, the pipe stem was of great significance because________.A. it was the first direct evidence that slaves living in Maryland were originally from Africa.B. it helped the archaeologists to draw a portrait of the enslaved woman.C. it might contribute to identifying the birthplace of the descendant communities.D. it contained genic clues to the ancestral background of its owner.65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The owner of the pipe once lived in what is now an area in west Africa.B. The history of slavery in America is an ongoing topic of concern.C. African slaves lost their identities when they arrived at the Belvoir plantation.D. Nancy Daniels, a genealogist was sorry for not being involved in the research.66. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.DNA from an old pipe throws lights on the origins of the enslavedB.A new research reveals the origins of enslaved African womanC.The descendants of enslaved people seek their identitiesD.DNA contributes to the breakthrough of a new researchSection CDirections: After reading the passage below, choose the best answers from the six statements according to what you have just read.The price of a piece of historyA fresh lemon can be purchased for less than $1. But in 2008, Cowan's Auctions in Cincinnati sold a lemon blackened with age for $2,350.What was so special about this lemon?67 According to ahandwritten note in ink attached to a partly sealed bottle containing the lemon, the fruit was picked in May 1842 by Washington's "old gardener" some 43 years after the first president's deathTwo thousand dollars is a lot to pay for produce, even from the estate of a founding father. This sale, however, just might be considered a bargain compared with prices paid for other historical collectibles in recent years. 68Collecting a piece of history, or an object associated with a famous person, is not brand new. Ordinary objects with extraordinary stories have increasingly been coming to auction and achieving high prices, says Thomas Venning, director of Christie's department of books and manuscripts in London. Prices are being driven up, he says, by collectors in the U.S. and, increasingly, in Asia. The Hawking wheelchair, for example, was purchased by a private museum in China.69 For one thing, their history of ownership is both crucial and sometimes difficult to prove. Photographs of the famous person with the object, as well as documentation (such as letters, diaries or recollections by acquaintances referring to the object) can also help. 70 To evaluate the value of a Picasso painting, one can look at recent prices paid for other Picasso paintings of the same period, similar size or style. Finding another recent sale of a lemon planted by George Washington is a different matter.Katie Horstman, head of Cowan's American History department, says she could find no comparable items for the lemon as she prepared the piece for its auction. Ms. Horstman nevertheless eventually arrived at the estimated value at $3,000 to $4,000, she says, by researching auction records for objects somehow associated with Washington that had appeared on the market.Cowans ended up estimating the value of the lemon at $3,000 to $4,000, according to description on its website. Objects associated with Washington these days, Ms. Horstman says, can sell for anywhere from 1,000 up to tens of thousands of dollars.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage.

Dead zones, where oxygen is effectively absent, have quadrupled(翻两番) in extent in the lasthalf-century, and there are also at least 700 areas where oxygen is at dangerously low levels, up from 45 when research was undertaken in the 1960s.The reasons behind this environmental collapse are multiple. Among all, pollutants generated by the industrial world have been the most destructive force to cause the unbalance, including a rising tide of plastic waste, as well as other pollutants. Seas are about 26% more acidic than in pre-industrial times because of absorbing the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, with damaging impacts on shellfish in particular.Low oxygen levels are also associated with global heating, because the warmer water holds less oxygen and the heating causes stratification(分层), so there is less of the vital mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor layers. Oceans are expected to lose about 3-4% of their oxygen by the end of this century, but the impact will be much greater in the levels closest to the surface, where many species are concentrated, and in the mid to high latitudes.Another major cause for lower oxygen is intensive farming. When excess artificial fertilizer from crops, or wastes from the meat industry, runs off the land and into rivers and seas, it feeds algae(藻类) which bloom and then cause oxygen consumption as they die and decay.The problem of dead zones has been known about for decades, but little has been done to tackle it. Now is high time to take actions and help the oceans function better.V.

Various studies have tried to address the question of (1)________ music in the workplace can be helpful or not. The short answer seems to be yes, but it depends on the job and the music.In one study, machine operators at a clothes manufacturer became (2)________ (productive) when they listened to relaxing music; the researchers therefore suggested trying music with a faster pace instead. However, in another study (3)________ (conduct) among surgeons who operated on patients while listening to classical music, it showed that they were both faster and more accurate in performance. In this case, the researchers advised against high pace or loud music (4)________ it could be distracting.According to some scientists, no matter what task you’re engaged in, lyrics in music (5)________ negatively impact your attention. However, if (6)________ (listen) to lyric-less or classical tunes annoys you, you’re probably not going to be very productive, so it ultimately depends on your personal preference.There might be a link between ‘emotional use’ of music at work and performance, too. Essentially, if your mood improves, so does your work. To some extent, then, you may be best off playing music (7)________ makes you happy. Interestingly, though, one 2023 study, which surveyed 244 people who listened to music at work, revealed no benefit when music (8)________ (use) for cognitive thinking or just played in the background.But if you’re just here for the best tracks (9)________ (boost) your productivity, we’ve got some recommendations for you.

Skyquakes have been reported around the world and locals have ___11___ names for them in different regions. Near Seneca Lake in New York State, they’re known as ‘Seneca guns’; in Belgium they’re called ‘mistpoeffers’; and the Japanese refer to them as ‘uminari’, which ___12___ means ‘cries from the sea.’Some scientists have suggested that a type of meteor(流星)could be the cause. These space rocks explode when they ___13___ Earth’s atmosphere. If this occurred above thick cloud, the sound could ___14___ across a wide area. However, there is no ___15___ evidence reaching the ground.A(n) ___16___ explanation is the gas coming out of the bottom of the lake. Several hot spots for skyquake activity are close to large, deep lakes, such as Seneca. But skyquakes have also been reported away from such water bodies.Researchers at the University of North Carolina compared local news reports with information from ___17___ sensors and earthquake detectors. They were unable to identify any earthquake activity that coincided with the strange noises, ___18___ ruling out ground shaking as the cause of it. They concluded that this phenomenon is ___19___ to the atmosphere. Possible reasons could include meteors exploding in the sky or the sound of big waves getting louder because of special weather conditions near the ocean. Over the years, many of these ___20___ mystery noises have turned out to be caused by military planes flying faster than the speed of sound.Given the diversity of locations and explanations, it’s possible that skyquakes in different parts of the world have different causes. But for now, their true cause remains mysterious.II.

John Keating, an English teacher with a(n) ___21___ of mystery and passion, stepped into the academy like a breath of freshness in a dull room. His very presence was a(n) ___22___ to the long-established norms of the school.He was not one to simply stand at the front of the classroom and lectured about Shakespeare’s poetry or the rules of grammar. ___23___, he had a unique way of making the words come alive. In his first class, he walked into the room, a twinkle in his eye, and led the boys out into the hallway.Pointing at the old, faded pictures of former students, he said, “Carpe diem, boys. Seize the day. Make your lives ___24___. These men were once just like you, with dreams and potential. Don’t let this place bury your ambitions.”His special haven, the “Whispers of the Bard,” was a magical place hidden away from the ___25___ eyes of the school authorities.

He saw the potential in Neil’s eyes and said, “Neil, the stage is waiting for you. Don’t let anyone even your father ___30___ your light. Your dreams are precious, and you have the talent to make them come true.” He helped Neil practice his lines, showing him how to ___31___ his emotions through every word. Under Keating’s guidance in every session, Neil grew more confident, believing that he could even ___32___ what his father expected of him.For Todd Anderson, who was shy and often ___33___ by his brother seemingly excellent at everything, Keating noticed his talent for seeing the deeper meaning in literature. “Todd,” he said, “your mind is a treasure chest. Open it and share your thoughts with the world. Don’t be afraid to ___34___. Your interpretations are as valuable as any other’s.” With Keating’s encouraging words, Todd started to come out of his ___35___, finding the courage to speak up and express himself.Keating’s encouragement was like a gentle wind that blew through the lives of these students, fanning the flames of their dreams and giving them the strength to pursue what they truly loved.21.

Brand, driven by the age-old alchemists’ dream of magically turning base metals into gold, conducted a series of experiments that would forever change our understanding of elements.Brand’s journey began with an assumption that the key to creating “gold” resided in human urine (尿液). This seemingly strange idea was fueled by the observation that urine shared a similar yellow color with the precious metal. Acting on this belief, Brand collected an astonishing 5000 liters of urine and allowed it to stand and ferment (发酵).After weeks of fermentation, Brand boiled the urine down to a thick, sticky substance. He then mixed this paste with sand and heated the mixture to an extreme temperature. What emerged from this process was a substance that was entirely new to the world of science – a white solid that shone with a soft light in the dark.Brand named this glowing material “phosphorus,” originating from the Greek words for “light bearer.” The discovery of phosphorus was not just a scientific breakthrough; it captured the imagination of the public and the scientific community alike. Its ability to give off light in the darkness was both fascinating and mysterious.The implications of Brand’s discovery were far-reaching. Phosphorus was not only a novelty but also a substance with practical applications. It would later become an essential component in the production of matches, fertilizers, and various chemicals.Hennig Brand’s accidental discovery of phosphorus in 1669 was more than just finding a new element; it marked the end of the era of the period of magic chemistry and the beginning of modern chemistry. Brand’s phosphorus, once sought as a means to wealth, became a cornerstone in the field of science, a clear demonstration of power of curiosity and the unexpected paths that can lead to enlightenment.36.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The fall of ancient alchemists and the rise of modern chemists.B. The accidental discovery of phosphorus and its scientific impact.C. The importance of human urine in scientific experiments.D. The transformation of base metals into gold through magic.37.What was Hennig Brand’s initial goal when he started his experiments?A. To turn human urine into gold.B. To discover a new element.C. To produce a glowing substance.D. To reform modern chemistry.38.The underlined word “cornerstone” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. mysteryB. symbolC. obstacleD. foundation39.What can be inferred about Hennig Brand from the passage?A. He was a serious chemist who followed established scientific methods.B. He was a visionary scientist who predicted the future of chemistry.C. He was a curious individual willing to explore unconventional ideas.D. He was a wealthy trader with a deep understanding of chemistry.Bsystem.40.According to the notice board, which of the following is TRUE?A. The subway is the only way to travel in the city.B.

Sex hormones, like estrogen and testosterone, are powerful players in the brain, affecting mood, memory, and more. Some of the most dramatic hormonal changes that humans experience happen during pregnancy, and yet those nine months have been a black box for human neuroscience until now.A new study published this week in Nature Neuroscience provides the most extensive look inside that black box yet. Researchers scanned the brain of one woman 26 times over the entire course of her pregnancy – before, during and after. Brain scans show that tracks of white matter get stronger during pregnancy. Previous brain imaging studies from before and after pregnancy have shown that pregnancy shrinks (缩小) parts of the brain, specifically its gray matter. These outer layers of the brain are responsible for most of sensation, learning and other great things the brain does.Shrinking gray matter may sound scary, but it happens to all of us throughout development to fine-tune our neural processing and make our brains more efficient. Though the term “mommy brain” is often used to refer to the brain fog and forgetfulness some people feel during pregnancy, the brain changes are likely adaptive. For example, you may be forgetting where your keys are, but you are way more focused on what is happening to your baby. Researchers are particularly interested in changes within brain regions that help with social cognition by allowing us to take on others’ perspectives.The scale and pattern of brain changes during pregnancy are similar to what other researchers have seen in adolescent brains during puberty (青春期), also driven by hormones. Other researchers have been able to detect whether someone had been pregnant based only on neuro imaging data from decades later. So despite the common saying that our brains stop developing in our mid-20s, hormones seem to drive big, long-lasting changes throughout adulthood.From studying the woman’s brain, researchers confirmed gray matter decreased by four percent over the course of pregnancy and that decrease persisted throughout the end of the study two years after giving birth. And it wasn’t just one area or network – 80% of brain regions shrunk. While certain areas and networks changed faster than others, the team doesn’t yet know what the implications are.43.The passage mainly tells us __________________.A. how pregnancy impacts women’s memoryB. how brain scans lead to a breakthroughC. how puberty differs from pregnancyD. how brain changes during pregnancy44.Based on the research, a pregnant woman should ______ changes accompanying “mommy brain”?A. peacefully acceptB. consciously avoidC. completely ignoreD. eagerly expect45.We can learn from the last two paragraphs that ________________________.A.researchers have figured out why certain areas of brain change fasterB.despite similarity, brain changes in puberty aren’t driven by hormonesC.hormones are likely to cause brain changes beyond adolescenceD.the shrinkage of gray matter in brain stops shortly after child birth46.What is the structure of this passage?A.B. C.Introducing a topic Providing examplesStating a problem Proposing solutions Evaluating the solutions Presenting a finding Explaining Relating with other findingsSummarizing the main pointsD.Describing a phenomenon Analyzing the causes Predicting the future trendsSection C (8分)Directions:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Previously, they’ve trained packs of hero rats to detect dangerous bacteria.B.Then they were introduced to common scents used to mask illegal wildlife trade.C.This effort aims to provide a low-cost detection system to prevent illegal hunting.D.However, there are concerns that the rats might be distracted by some common scents.E.Existing screening tools are expensive and time intensive, necessitating a new approach.F.For this purpose, these trained rats will be expected to work in likely hotspots for illegalwildlife trade.Ratting on Crimes“You are never more than six feet away from a rat,” goes the saying. Though it has been concluded that this estimate is incorrect, it might soon be accurate for those involved in the illegal wildlife trade.A team of researchers have trained African rats to pick up the scents (气味) of endangered animal products, such as elephant ivory and rhino horn. 47.__________The rat pack can even identify these items when concealed among other substances, and have been shown to remember the smells after months of non-exposure. This isn’t the first time APOPO, a Tanzania-based non-profit, have recognized a potential for a super-rat workforce. 48.__________ The organization looks to provide low-tech, cost-efficient solutions to pressing challenges throughout Africa.The rats in the new study went through several demanding stages of training. They first learned to smell a target scent for several seconds to earn a flavoured reward. 49.__________ The final step was memory consolidation training, where they were reintroduced to scents they’d not encountered for five and eight months, respectively. Despite the months of non-exposure, the rats showed perfect memory scores, suggesting that their cognitive memory performance is similar to that of dogs.Illegal capture, killing, and harvesting of animals and plants have increased dramatically in recent years. For example, 55 African elephants are killed for their tusks every day, over 20,000 a year. This has to be stopped immediately.50.__________ They will be armed with custom-made vests (马甲). With their front paws, they will be able to pull a small ball attached to the chest of their vest, which gives out a beeping sound. This way rats will be able to alert handlers when they detect a target. Once fully trained and prepared, these giant rats could become illegal hunters’ worst enemy.III. Summary Writing (10分)51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The Significance of Cattle in Maasai SocietyCattle are the traditional partners of the Maasai people of East Africa. The traditional Maasai diet is heavily centered around cattle products. Milk is a fundamental component of the Maasai diet, consumed daily and in various forms. Fresh milk, known as “enkirowua”, is often drunk straight or mixed with herbs for added flavor and medicinal benefits. Processed milk, or “mokore”, is a popular variation, providing rich source of nutrition. Cattle’s meat is another important part of the Maasai diet, consumed during special occasions and ceremonies. Every part of the animal is used, reflecting the Maasai’s resourcefulness and respect for their livestock. It represents strength and the community’s collective wealth.Cattle hold significant value in Maasai social life. An individual’s social status is heavily influenced by cattle ownership. The number of cattle one possesses directly relates with his standing in the community. This is particularly evident during traditional ceremonies, such as weddings, where the exchange of cattle as gifts signifies the strong bond between families and a shared commitment to the future. Families there share responsibilities in cattle care and their collective management promotes unity and teamwork. For example, the process of milking is a shared activity, involving both men and women and strengthening social bonds. It is especially vital during challenging times, such as droughts or other hardships when the well-being of the cattle is crucial.Cattle also play a big role in Maasai rituals and ceremonies, accompanying individuals from birth to death. For example, the sacrifice of a cow during naming ceremonies or funerals not only celebrates the occasion but also strengthens the community’s spiritual connection with their livestock. These rituals highlight the spiritual importance of cattle, seen as a link between the physical and spiritual worlds, thus firmly establishing their central role in Maasai culture.IV.

Well, here are some pretty easyand skillful ideas for that green - earth desire inside you.●Turn off your computer. By leaving it on all day you are creating more CO2than a regular passenger would, driving to and from work in one day.● Ride your bike or carpool (合用汽车).Obviously, youare creating less CO2which will help the ozone(臭氧).● Make a garden. Even simply grow some plants in your kitchen, which will help produce more oxygen while eating up some of that evil CO2.● Buy local groceries. It creates less impact on the environment. Besides, you're supporting your local farmers.● Recycle. You had to see this coming. But you have no idea how much you are helping the environment by simply reusing a water bottle instead of buying a huge pack at the store.● Don't run the water while brushing. It saves you money and helps the water resources.● Open the curtains. Natural light is much prettier and it will keep the energy usage down.● Rechargeable batteries. You have no idea how much it takes to get rid of batteries. Do yourself a favor. Save some money and some energy.1. If you don't want to create more CO2, you may_______.A. turn off your computer or open the curtainsB. turn off your computer or ride your bike or carpoolC. make a garden or open the curtainsD. use rechargeable batteries or make a garden2.

The main idea of the passage is about________.A. the importance of environmental protectionB. some ways about how to prevent pollutionC. some suggestions about how to save energyD. some suggestions about environmental protectionBSometimes people make history. George Washington became the first president of theUnited Statesand made history. Sometimes wars make history. The two World Wars are examples. Sometimes nature even becomes part of history. Shaking earthquakes are recorded in history books.Sixteen years ago, nature caused just such a history-making event. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina came ashore inNew Orleans,Louisiana. The deadly storm floodedNew Orleans. Before Katrina, no other big American city had ever flooded in the history of the country. This natural disaster caused great harm and death.New Orleansis located below sea level. This location places it at great risk. Levees were built to protectNew Orleansfrom the ocean. (A levee is like a wall between the city and the ocean.) When Hurricane Katrina came ashore, water moved over the levees into the city. Flooding made it necessary for everyone to leave the city. Before Katrina, Creole food (a special kind of cooking only inLouisiana) filled the air with delicious smells. The sound of jazz music traveled through the streets. Now the city has to return to its former glory.Before Katrina, ernment had never made everyone leave a city. People inNew Orleanshad to find shelter quickly. Some had to stay at theSuperdomeSportsCenter. Some rode on buses to other towns. Thousands drove their cars to get away from the storm. The roads and shelters filled up fast.The lesson learned from Katrina was that cities must be better prepared for big storms and other terrible disasters caused by nature. Being prepared might have kept more people safe. Hurricane Katrina is one of the history-making events that will be remembered forever. Today, history is still being made that will shape the future.4. What does the author tell us aboutNew Orleans?A. It was built above sea level.B. It had few jazz musicians after Katrina.C.

Try to get ready for natural disasters.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Storms are dangerousB. Katrina makes historyC. Floods shapeLouisianaD. History must be rememberedCIf you ever get the impression that your dog can "tell" whether you look delighted or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry human faces, according to a new studyResearchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images(图像)of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of the person's face. The researchers then tested the dogs' ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the person's face on images totally different from the ones used in training. The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more often than one would expect by random chance.The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. "We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth," said study author Corsin Muller. "Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.""With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some dogs can distinguish human facial expressions," Muller toldLive Science.At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize different facial expressions in humans. "To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial expressions and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between them." Muller said.8. The new study focused on whether dogs can_________.A. distinguish shapesB. make sense of human facesC. feel happy or angryD. communicate with each other9. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 2?A. Researchers tested the dogs in random order.B. Diverse methods were adopted during training.C. Pictures used in the two stages were differentD. The dogs were photographed before the lest.10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. A suggestion for future studies.B. A possible reason for the study findings.C. A major limitation of the studyD. An explanation of the research method.11. In which section is the text most likely to be found in a newspaper ?A. EntertainmentB. EconomyC. ScienceD. NatureDTexas has been one of the most restrictive gun-rights states in America.Thanks to a new law,however,the state will be one of the most relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someone's guns. And if they do, they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.To be sure, the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation. Under the law, open-carry citizens have to be licensed, a process that includes safety and shooting tests. They also have to show no prior psychological problems, and they have to be at least 21 years old.It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia. However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they convey,despite gun control groups' concern over the increase of violence. Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004. Black Friday this year saw the biggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.Considering those trends,there's a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble. As the law doesn't provideany punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer, critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations. After all, armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious, even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight. Most police in Texas have been told to not engage gun carriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.For sure,New Year's Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners. What's not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.12. All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPTA. age limitB. mental conditionC. online registrationD. gun-operating skills13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?A. The reason for putting forward the new Texas law.B. The present situation of gun possession in America.C. The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004.D. The inaction of the US government as to gun control.14. What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to?A. Heavier workload for policemen.B. Disrespect for officers.C. Lack of trust among citizens.D. Difficulty in crime prevention.15. What is the author's attitude towards the new Texas law?A. Negative.B. Cautious.C. Indifferent.D. Approving.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
