Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one more word than you need.around, though, he will be much more 31 through the magic of CGL (电脑合成影像). The much-loved classic, The Lion King, will open for the 25th anniversary of the 32 movie.The 1994 film proved to be one of Hollywood’s best-loved vivid movies! It made almost US$970 million worldwide. The film went on to win numerous awards for its music and its later stage shows. Simba’s story opened on Broadway in 1997, followed by theatrical 33 around the world. Today, audiences on six continents have seen The Lion King34 on stage.

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.Monaco Grand PrixThe air is fresh with the heat of early summer as you arrive in the beautiful country of Monaco on the day of the race. Your 41 to the Monte-Carlo neighborhood is bursting with color as classic styles of European architecture catch your eye. When you reach the race course area, you are led to the harbor where you will watch the race from the 42 of a friend’s yacht (游艇). Soon, the Formula One cars will pull onto the starting point and the race will begin.Each of the cars in the Monaco Grand Prix is 43 , but all of them are fast and modern. The race course also 44 as being complex and difficult, with a frightening hairpin(发夹) turn along a very narrow street. 45 these streets at speeds over 150 kilometers per hour, drivers must take care. Even the slightest 46 could turn a multi-million dollar car into a pile of waste. The driver who claims first place receives an award and will go down 47 as one of the world’s finest drivers.Indianapolis 500On race day the grandstands(大看台) are filled with excitement as you enter the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You find your seat, 48 yourself against the harsh heat and marvel at the huge black oval (椭圆形的) track below. Moments later, a fleet of Indy Cars rolls onto the track, 49 themselves in 11 neat rows of three. The sound of 33 turning engines rings in your ears, and you cheer with the crowd as the powerful cars take off from the starting line.Unlike Monaco Formula One cars, Indycars are more uniform in their 50 . They tend to be much longer, and reach 260 kilometers per hour. Since the drivers must race for 500 miles, the race is quite long, 51 three to five hours. The resulting wear and tear on each car is managed with short stops. The driver’s excellent team performs 52 at amazing speeds. The dangerous nature of this race requires 53 communication between the drivers and their teams. They must plan short stops 54 or the driver loses precious time and it could 55them the race.41.A. memory B. aim C. anxiety D. ride42.A. comfort B. position C. bottom D. direction43.A. colorful B. fashionable C. unique D. similar44.A. comes out B. stands out C. turns out D. points out45.A.

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)Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm (演算法). Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity (圈养). As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows.” As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called . The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced attracking.56. How does the writer begin this article about WildTrackA. By discussing the software that it employsB. By praising its recent efforts to raise fundsC. By explaining how and when it was foundedD. By summarizing different opinions about it57. According to this article, which animals are WildTrack mainly interested inA. Those which cause a threat to human settlementsB. Those which are now at risk of becoming extinctC. Those which have been illegally kept as petsD. Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago58. What does this article talk about in detailA. A list of locations worth exploringB. A strategy for acquiring equipmentC. A warning not to engage in huntingD. A technique containing several steps59. What does the article suggest doing in wild areasA. Admiring the wild landscapeB. Preparing well for wild weatherC. Leaving wild creatures aloneD. Consuming a diet of wild plants(B)Science fiction paints a future where robotsplay an important part in everyday life. Atechnology firm is trying to make that future areality today with an affordable robot calledArtibo. Artibo is small. Its brain, or Al block, is acube(立方体) that fits in your hand. That blockconnects to a motor block and two silicon wheels.Assembled, it’s about four inches tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot thatyou program to move around. Artibo’s designerswant it to provide companionship and be aresource for learning coding. With its camera,microphone and connection to a cloud-based Al, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie (对讲机). It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though.It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGC product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas (画布) of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, an d watch how your robot responds. In Artibo’s case coding doesn’t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won’t lose interest in Artibo.60.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is ______.A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn codingC.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languagesD.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots61.What can be concluded from the passageA.Programming robots is not really complicated.B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.62.The passage implies that ______.A.People can programme various orders even without code blocksB.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toysC.The more familiar you’re with coding, the more you’ll like ArtiboD.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people(C)5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay the foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. But like many new technologies, it's causing concern about potential health issues.The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid the groundwork for smartphones, and 4G allowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predecessor (前任), and some experts argue it could be much faster.Too much of a good thingIt’s not just about streaming data faster, it’s about streaming more of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie instantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless companies’ attempts to satisfy that demand.Uncertain effectsThe untested nature of 5G, and the extensiveness of its infrastructure (基础设施), has some worried that the increased exposure could have serious health effects.Wireless safety advocates(倡议人士) have called for more studies on the effects of theexposure, and one group is trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago’s neighborhoods.The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies used with 5G.Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there is no scientific evidence of negative health effects.Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5G’s health impacts likely wouldn’t soothe her either. She said, “People can’t choose whether or not to be exposed to this radiation.”“I don’t need another test. The only test that’s going to happen now is people’s lives, ”said Blake, 67.Only time will tellThough little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be problematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley.The eyes and sweat glands (腺体) are among several body parts studies have shown could be at risk, Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.The millimeter waves used in 5G are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big unknown,” he said.This isn’t the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: They’re also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, it’s the first time the high-frequency waves will be used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history.“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,”Varshney said. “There has always been occurrence of this fear.”63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passageA.5G is faster but not safe to human beings.B.5G features faster and more in transferring.C.5G can meet people’s any demand in theory.D.5G just makes little impact on people’s health.64.What can be inferred from the passagelimeter waves certainly affect people’s health seriously.limeter waves will cause the skin’s temperature to rise.C.It’s obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology.D.It’s hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health.65.The word soothe in the last but 7 paragraphs most probably means ______.A.to make somebody feel calm or less worried.B.to make somebody feel happy or more excited.C.to make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfactory.D.to make somebody feel inspired or more energetic.66.The best title for this passage is ______.A.5G’s Advantages and DisadvantagesB.The Development of WirelessC.5G Health ConcernD.5G Future PredictionSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence canW hether you’re on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji (表情符号) regularly. 67 . While most people’s enthusiasm for emoji increased in the smartphone era, Japan has been crazy for emoji since 1999. Designer Shigetaka Kurita invented emoji for a Japanese phone company 20 years ago as a way to make it easier to express ideas in a short message. The word emoji can be translated as “picture character”from Japanese. After the release of Kurita’s emoji, rival phone companies in Japan began creating their own emoji. Many emoji on our digital devices today are imported from Kurita’s original set of emoji.Japan’s love for emo ji continued well into the 2000s before the rest of the world discovered them. Apple Inc. officially introduced an emoji function in their software in 2011. Soon, other phone companies from around the world made it easier for their customers to use emoji.68 .As you scroll (滑动) through your phone, you can see the wide selection of available emoji. More than 2,000 emoji are in existence now, with more being released each year. These numbers show the popularity and demand for emoji.Why Because words alone can’t convey the complete meaning of a digital message. In digital communication, emoji express a tone or mood. More than 90 percent of people online use emoji especially ones that show emotion like hearts and smileys. 69 . For example, they might send a red heart emoji as a response that they really like something instead of writing, “I love that.”Some emoji are also abstract enough for people to use in any way they like. You can send an emoji as an inside joke, which is only understood between you and your friend. 70 . Nor do they belong to a specific culture. You and I give emoji meaning, because emoji is a language that belongs to all of us.IV. Summary Writing71. 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.People choose to become entrepreneurs(创业者) for a wide variety of reasons. One important reason is, of course, financial reward. If you own your own business and it becomes successful, you can reap huge financial rewards. And as an entrepreneur, dependent on how much your boss decides to give you; it’s limited only by the success of your business. And speaking of bosses, not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects, rather than having others tell them what to do. They often have big dreams that they want to pursue rather than making someone else’s dream come true. For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need. It’s a way to change the world for the better.Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy, however, nor is it always fun. Entrepreneurs often have to work long hours, especially early on when they’re trying to get their businesses off the ground. Th at’s the reason entrepreneurs need to have a strong work ethic (伦理). Employees can work 40 hours a week and then stop, but for an entrepreneur, there’s no end in sight.That’s why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion; they have to be excited about what they’re doing to be willing to work hard for it. Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others. That’s important for finding investors, getting people to buy products and attracting employees.Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter. This is important from the very beginning, when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business. But even after that initial step, creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.无论是走路、骑车还是开车,遵守交通规则都很重要。

2019-2020学年上海市宝山中学高三英语一模试题及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AHow to Look at ShapeTake a seat at the virtual(虚拟的) table. At our new, monthly membership program, you'll join MoMA staff and fellow members for lively discussions about our collection and exhibitions. Ask questions, share your thoughts, and broaden the mind. A live Q&A, with Michelle Kuo and Anny Aviram, about shape and its role in MoMA's collection is also arranged.Draw, Write, and Connect with OthersExperiment with drawing and writing exercises as ways to connect with others, even when physically distant, in this 45-minute online workshop. This workshop is part of the Creativity Lab at Home plan. This session is led by Francis Estrada, Assistant Educator, and Hannah Fagin, Coordinator. Ifs open to anyone, but registration is limited and space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.Storytelling Through ArtThere are many ways to tell a story — through words through theater and dance, or through visual art, for example. Discover how artist Jacob Lawrence shared the history of an important event by combining words and art in a series of paintings calledThe Migration Series. For kids ages seven to fourteen. Parent participation is encouraged in this online event. Don' miss the opportunity to spend meaningful time with them.The Human ShelterIn 2016, MoMA opened Insecurities: Tracing Displacement and Shelter, an exhibition that examined how contemporary architecture arid design addressed ideas of shelter in light of global refugee(难民) emergencies. Danish Boris Benjamin Bertram documented the exhibition, and the result is a movie by him asking what makes a home, and, perhaps more importantly, when shelter becomes home. This online event is part of Member events.1.What is special about How to Look at Shape?A.It provides an interactive part.B.It is accessible to everyone.C.It is organized by Michelle Kuo.D.It focuses on MoMA's new collection.2.Which event is family-friendly?A.The Human Shelter.B.How to Look at Shape.C.Storytelling Through Art.D.Draw, Write, and Connect with Others.3.In which aspect might Bertram do well?A.Shelter design.B.Storytelling.C.Art education.D.Film-making.BIn 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entireFrench Scrabble Dictionaryin just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards’ impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works — real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI canoutperformhumans at routine tasks — provided the task is in one field with a lot of data — it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs — executives, diplomats, economists — go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy — which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI.

But there have been no reports of deaths, serious injuries or damage. Officials say the quake has not affected transportation of food and her supplies. “The ships are coming in on schedule, the supply lines are at this point working well,” the government told reporters Sunday.The Glenn Highway was probably the road hit hardest by the earthquake. It connects the state's largest city to other parts in the north. Traffic has been heavy and slow—moving since the quake. Drivers are being guided. Groups of workers are trying to rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more than 1, 700 aftershocks. “Anything that moves, you feel terrified”said David, whose home suffered structural(结构)damage, including a sunken foundation(地基). Actually, Alaska came up with strict building rules after a 9. 2 earthquake in 1964. That was the second most powerful earthquake on record.Government officials said a public health center promises that moneyfor medical treatment will continue to come. Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7. 0 earthquake or greater in the following week.

It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentaryThe True CostI learned donated clothes that don’t get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that’s one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My firstitem was a dress she gifted me. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It’s all second-hand,” she said. I couldn’t believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new condition. That’s when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.Selling second-hand things isn’t anything new butwhat the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess (过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let’s get shopping.12. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?A. Pride.B. Embarrassment.C. Delight.D. Sympathy.13. Whatare many people in the author’s community like?A. They are probably materialistic.B. They care about the environment.C. They think highly of op shopping.D. They look down upon immigrants.14. What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friend’s apartment?A. Watch the documentaryThe True Cost.B. Donate more to local charities.C. Avoid shopping too much.D. Stop buying new things.15. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To entertain.B. To advertise.C. To persuade.D. To describe.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。

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.Monaco Grand PrixThe air is fresh with the heat of early summer as you arrive in the beautiful country of Monaco on the day of the race. Your 41 to the Monte-Carlo neighborhood is bursting with color as classic styles of European architecture catch your eye. When you reach the race course area, you are led to the harbor where you will watch the race from the 42 of a friend’s yacht (游艇). Soon,the Formula One cars will pull onto the starting point and the race will begin.Each of the cars in the Monaco Grand Prix is 43 , but all of them are fast and modern. The race course also 44 as being complex and difficult, with a frightening hairpin(发夹) turn along a very narrow street. 45 these streets at speeds over 150 kilometers per hour, drivers must take care. Even the slightest 46 could turn a multi-million dollar car into a pile of waste. The driver who claims first place receives an award and will go down 47 as one of the world’s finest drivers.Indianapolis 500On race day the grandstands (大看台) are filled with excitement as you enter the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You find your seat, 48 yourself against the harsh heat and marvel at the huge black oval (椭圆形的) track below. Moments later, a fleet of Indy Cars rolls onto the track, 49 themselves in 11 neat rows of three. The sound of 33 turning engines rings in your ears, and you cheer with the crowd as the powerful cars take off from the starting line.Unlike Monaco Formula One cars, Indycars are more uniform in their 50 . They tend to be much longer, and reach 260 kilometers per hour. Since the drivers must race for 500 miles, the race is quite long, 51 three to five hours. The resulting wear and tear on each car is managed with short stops. The driver’s excellent team performs 52 at amazing speeds.

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)Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal tracks through an algorithm (演算法). Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity (圈养). As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows.” As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called . The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should notgo there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.56. How does the writer begin this article about WildTrack?A. By discussing the software that it employsB. By praising its recent efforts to raise fundsC. By explaining how and when it was foundedD. By summarizing different opinions about it57. According to this article, which animals are WildTrack mainly interested in?A. Those which cause a threat to human settlementsB. Those which are now at risk of becoming extinctC. Those which have been illegally kept as petsD. Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago58. What does this article talk about in detail?A. A list of locations worth exploringB. A strategy for acquiring equipmentC. A warning not to engage in huntingD. A technique containing several steps59. What does the article suggest doing in wild areas?A. Admiring the wild landscapeB. Preparing well for wild weatherC. Leaving wild creatures aloneD. Consuming a diet of wild plants(B)Science fiction paints a future where robots playan important part in everyday life. A technology firmis trying to make that future a reality today with anaffordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Itsbrain, or Al block, is a cube (立方体) that fits in your hand. That block connects to a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, it’s about four inche s tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around. Artibo’s designers want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based Al, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie (对讲机). It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though.It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGC product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas (画布) of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibo’s case coding doesn’t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, y ou won’t lose interest in Artibo.60.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is ______.A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn codingC.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languagesD.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots61.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Programming robots is not really complicated.B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.62.The passage implies that ______.A.People can programme various orders even without code blocksB.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toysC.The more familiar you’re with coding, the more you’ll like ArtiboD.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people(C)5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay the foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. But like many new technologies, it's causing concern about potential health issues.The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid the groundwork for smartphones, and 4G allowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predecessor (前任), and some experts argue it could be much faster.Too much of a good thing?It’s not just about streaming data faster, it’s about streaming more of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie instantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless compan ies’ attempts to satisfy that demand.Uncertain effectsThe untested nature of 5G, and the extensiveness of its infrastructure(基础设施), has some worried that the increased exposure could have serious health effects.Wireless safety advocates(倡议人士) have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure, and one group is trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago’s neighborhoods.The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies used with 5G.Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there is no scientific evidence of negative health effects.Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5G’s health impacts likely wouldn’t soothe her either. She said, “People can’t choose whether or not to be exposed to this radiation.”“I don’t need another test. The only test that’s going to happen now is people’s lives, ”said Blake, 67.Only time will tell?Though little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be problematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley.The eyes and sweat glands (腺体) are among several body parts studies have shown could be at risk, Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.The millimeter waves used in 5G are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big unknown,” he said.This isn’t the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: They’re also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, it’s the first time the high-frequency waves will be used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history.“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,” Varshney said. “There has always been occurrence of this fear.”63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.5G is faster but not safe to human beings.B.5G features faster and more in transferring.C.5G can meet people’s any demand in theory.D.5G just makes little impact on people’s health.64.What can be inferred from the passage?limeter waves certainly affect people’s health seriously.limeter waves will cause the skin’s temperature to rise.C.It’s obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology.D.It’s hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health.65.The word soothe in the last but 7 paragraphs most probably means ______.A.to make somebody feel calm or less worried.B.to make somebody feel happy or more excited.C.to make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfactory.D.to make somebody feel inspired or more energetic.66.The best title for this passage is ______.A.5G’s Advantages and DisadvantagesB.The Development of WirelessC.5G Health ConcernD.5G Future PredictionSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Whether you’re on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji(表情符号) regularly. 67 . While most people’s enthusiasm for emoji increased in the smartphone era, Japan has been crazy for emoji since 1999. Designer Shigetaka Kurita invented emoji for a Japanese phone company 20 years ago as a way to make it easier to express ideas in a short message. The word emoji can be translated as “picture character”from Japanese. After the release of Kurita’semoji, rival phone companies in Japan began creating their own emoji. Many emoji on our digital devices today are imported from Kurita’s original set of emoji.Japan’s love for emo ji continued well into the 2000s before the rest of the world discovered them. Apple Inc. officially introduced an emoji function in their software in 2011. Soon, other phone companies from around the world made it easier for their customers to use emoji. 68 .As you scroll (滑动) through your phone, you can see the wide selection of available emoji. More than 2,000 emoji are in existence now, with more being released each year. These numbers show the popularity and demand for emoji.Why? Because words alone can’t convey the complete meaning of a digital message. In digital communication, emoji express a tone or mood. More than 90 percent of people online use emoji especially ones that show emotion like hearts and smileys. 69 . For example, they might send a red heart emoji as a response that they really like something instead of writing, “I love that.”Some emoji are also abstract enough for people to use in any way they like. You can send an emoji as an inside joke, which is only understood between you and your friend. 70 . Nor do they belong to a specific culture. You and I give emoji meaning, because emoji is a language that belongs to all of us.IV. Summary Writing71. 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.People choose to become entrepreneurs (创业者) for a wide variety of reasons. One important reason is, of course, financial reward. If you own your own business and it becomes successful, you can reap huge financial rewards. And as an entrepreneur, dependent on how much your boss decides to give you; it’s limited only by the success of your business. And speaking of bosses, not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects, rather than having others tell them what to do. They often have big dreams that they want to pursue rather than making someone else’s dream come true. For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need. It’s a way to change the world for the better.Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy,however, nor is it always fun. Entrepreneurs often have towork long hours, especially early on when they’re trying to get their businesses off the ground. Th at’s the reason entrepreneurs need to have a strong work ethic (伦理). Employees can work 40 hours a week and then stop, but for an entrepreneur, there’s no end in sight.That’s why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion; they have to be excited about what they’re doing to be willing to work hard for it. Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others. That’s important for finding investors, getting people to buy products and attracting employees.Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter. This is important from the very beginning, when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business. But even after that initial step, creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.V.

day felt unique from the get-go.For one thing,1liked the course.It was my team's home course,one I was used to running during practices.It took runners along an area of land that included open fields,hills and even winding dirt paths through a small forest.It was a beautiful5-kilomctcr course.This particular race was our team's invite,and I was proud to be sharing the course with competitors from other schools.It also meant a lot—more than normal that my parents were there to cheer me on.With so much to expect that day,I was ready to run!And I didn't want to be stuck with the pack of other runners,as is typical at the beginning of m ost cross-country races.So when the gun sounded, I took off running,leaving everyone else in the dust.The first part of our course followed the outside edge of a large open field before disappearing into the forest.Within seconds of the start,I was far ahead of everyone,and all of the fans could see it.It felt magnificent.But that feeling didn't last long.Little did I know my coach was laughing to himself;thinking,“Gabc is done tor!''And I was.My body was telling me to slow down.My pride,however,said "No!Not until you're out of sight of the spectators!''1was in agony,but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest.Once in among the trees.1slowed way down.I enjoyed most races,even while pushing myself,but this one was not enjoyable in the least.I finished the race,but in nowhere near the time I could have if I'd paced myself well from the beginning.Every time I reflect on that cross-country season.I'm reminded of something:Pride is no substitute fbr pace.56.What is special to the author about the race?A.The weather condition was good fbr runners.B.He was familiar with the home course.C.He took pride in

your fans'expectations.C.It's important to pace yourself with no pride.D.It is his coach who encourages him to finish the race.(B)Ever look at your to-do list and want to run and hide?Me too.But life is more than working hard to finish tasks,collapsing into bed,judging the past24hours and our success by how much we've managed to tick off.So here's how to get stulTdone and eiijoy yourself at the same time.1.Rename itMy friend Jim Kwik says,“Call your^got-to-do,list your'get-to-do'list.''It's a tiny change but a major shift.Think about it.You get to walk your dog,choose wonderfuldinner ingredients and go to a job each day that affords you thelifeyou have2.Add some actionInstead of writing plain reminders down as memory urges,like“Dentist”and"Report,"add some verbs and result-based

Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are tw o more sentences than you need.st.fni allows users to listen to music for free,as well as buy tracks.B.The website Last.fm is a convenient and useful resource fbr music lovers.C.There are plenty of websites that allow music lovers to stay in touch with the news relatingto their hobby.D.If you want to use Last.fm fbr communication,you might find that traditional socialnetworks arc more suitable for this purposeE.This website is of great benefit fbr music enthusiasts.F.This technology is convenient and definitely helpful fbr music lovers.A Useful Tool for Music LoversWith the development and expansion of the Intenict.many hobbies and interests of modem people have gained a new dimension.The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share their excitement about trends,to communicate and share experiences.Specialized websites provide users with evenmore information about their subjects of interest and help discover new boundaries of their passions. This refers to movies,arts,modeling,programming,literature,and music as well.One can hardly find a person who would not be listening to music on the way to work,at home,or elsewhere.(67)______________________.One such website is Last.fin:a mix of a social network and an Intemet-radio that tracks down the music its users listen to.(68).Besides,it has a number of advantages compared to other sources providing similar services.The design of Last.frn gives a welcoming impression,though some might find it too simple.The site is displayed in red tones,with the possibility of switching it to a black skin and,despite the quantity of information,is easy to understand and ers can also decorate their profiles with pictures of themselves,all kinds of badges,diagrams,tag clouds,and statistics relating to music.The availability of multiple functions also speaks in favor of Last.frn.One of its significant advantages over many other musical websites is the function of scrobbling(歌曲记录),which means tracking down the music one had been listening to.(69)______________________.With its aid, Last.frn searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent.These people arc called neighbors and the idea is that they can get familiar with the tans of their favorite kind of music and,most likely,make new friends.The information about upcoming events nearby,as well as recommendations given about new music that a user might like are also gathered and introduced by the means of scrobbling.If a person listens to one or two bands on a consistent basis,the website will display a few new artists that play in a similar genre,including new ones,so that a user can be in touch with the latest trends within their musical interests.(70)______________________.However,there is a serious drawback connected to it.The fact is that the majority of free tracks and albums are available only to citizens of the USA,Germany, and Great Britain,while in other countries,users can only listen to short introductory samples.And yet those lucky ones from the places mentioned betbre can listen to one track online up to five times a day.Besides,the website had recently changed its policy towards monetization and reduced the number of free st.frn also works as a kind of musical Wikipedia,providing users with biographies of bands,or actual musicians.There is hardly a need to mention that musicians can also benefit from using the resource,presenting infoimation about themselves and involving fans.71.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize(he main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as j ar as possible.Beyond IdentityWe often think of ourselves as our body,mind,and emotions.We take these three elements and make a combination.However,wc also often talk about a person's soul.Is there any scientific basis for the soul?Surprisingly,there is.Each unique personality a person has(even in circumstances of memory loss and other illnesses),the feeling and identity of the self beyond age(especially experienced as wc grow older),and our inevitable subjective experience as an individual consist of a scientific foundation fbr the soul.Despite the constant shift in the links between our brain cells,wc remain essentially the same personality.This consistency is most obvious in the case of mentally ill patients or people who have experienced memory loss.According to Scientific American:Basically,no matter what happens to our brain,our unique personality seems to shine through.Besides one's personality,the soul of a person can be identified through one's consciousness. Though\vc commonly identify with our body and what we see in the mirror,wc also have a sense that wc arc not a certain age—as our sense of self usually leans less on age and rather on our subjective feeling of who we arc essentially.Lastly,each person is inevitably subjective about his or her experience.Despite humans being very,very similar to each other in DNA and overall composition,our understanding of reality is vastly diftcrcnt from individual to individual.According to Psychology Today,“While science has made tremendous progress explaining the functioning of the brain,why we have a subjective experience remains mysterious.The problem of the soul lies exactly here,in understanding the nature of the self the,T'in existence that feels and lives life.The soul of a person is incredibly challenging to prove scientifically.However,we can say that the soul has some basis in science.These realities of our behavior,character,and the way you notice things might not be tested strictly,but they arc very difTicult to deny.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the f ollowing sentences into English,using the words^iven in the brackets.72.他在整理书籍时发现r一本旧LI记e(run)73.过度使用手机会对我们的身体造成不良影响。

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)Many people experience problems with their spine(脊椎) as they age. The tissue that protects the joints in the spine gradually breaks down. As a consequence, the bones, in the spine begin to rub against each other. This further harms that issue as well as the bones. The result is pain in the joints and, sometimes, in nerves near the spineThis painful problem is actually a disease called osteoporosis. Some people are more at risk of osteoporosis because of genes that they inherited from their ancestors. Extremely heavy people are also more likely to suffer from this disease because their extra weight puts much pressure on their joints. Fortunately, there are steps that people can take to help prevent osteoporosis from developing in their spine.The most important step is exercise. Stretches can help the muscles around the spine relax and allow bones to shift into better alignment(排列), Strength exercises with light weights or bodyweight exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles around the spine. However, people should not overdo these exercises as repeated motions can strain the muscles around the spine. Trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique can have the same effect.Another important factor is diet. It affects the health of spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. These include B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which helps keep nerves healthy. People can get more B vitamin and omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements sold by stores. Another important factor is vitamin D. which is essential for strong bones. All of these vitamins and acids can be obtained from food. Thus people can help themselves by including them in their daily diets56 What does this article mainly explain?A. Various aspects of a medical condition.B. The actions of viruses that cause illnesses.C. Drugs often used to solve the physical issue.D. The location of organs in the human body.57. How does the writer begin this article?A. By predicting improvement.B. By analyzing a series of data.C. By introducing minor injuries.D. By describing a gradual process58. What can readers find in this article?A. A warning about working out too hard.B. A method for improving sleep quality.C. A slogan used to promote health classes.D. A big criticism often aimed at doctors.59. What does the article imply about supplement?A. They are mainly for youngsters.B. They are commercial products.C. They are now being researched.D. They are seldom truly effective(B)In late March of 2018.a tear in the earth about 15 meters wide and 20 meters deep suddenly appeared in Kenya, it cut across roads and even split houses in two. This crack appeared out of nowhere after heavy rains and an increase in seismic activity. Some scientists believe that it is further proof that Africa is slowly splitting apart.Once a very long time ago, Africa and south America were one landmass before they separated. Similarly, one day in the very distant future, a large part of East Africa will split off from the rest of the continent. This will create a new landmarks and a new ocean. The breakup is the result of plate tectonics, the gradual motion of different parts of the Earth's crust.When plates of the Earth separate and tear away from each other. It is called rifting. The result is rift valley. Scientists don't understand the exact mechanism behind rifting. But the result is very easy to observe in theEast African Rift System(EARS), That's why studying this part of the world is so important.The East African Rift system begins in the north in Ethiopia, where three plates are moving away from each other. Two of them are continental plates, the African and Arabian plates. They are tectonic plates that have a large landmass above water. The third is the Somali plate, considered a minor plate, which is steadily moving away from the other two. But don't plan on visiting the new ocean anytime soon. The plates are moving at a rate of about 6 millimeters a year. At the speed millions of years will pass before a new ocean is formed.EARS is not all bad news for Kenya. A rift valley is composed of an area where there is increased volcanic activity and thinned planetary crust. This makes it easier to take advantage of the power of steam. For Kenya, this might be an answer to the country's electrical problems. The drought conditions that frequently occur there make it difficult to produce energy. But the geothermal(地热的) power plants going online in 2019 will allow them to produce clean energy with very little water.60 What can be concluded from the passage?A. A war will certainty breakout in Africa.B. A disaster will suddenly strike Africa.C. A geological structure will change in Africa.D. A new country will come into being in Africa61 Which of the following plates might be surrounded by water according to the passageA. East Africa.B. Somali plate.C. Arabian plate.D. Africa plate.62. What problem may be solved in Kenya thanks to the cracking?A. Poverty.B. Economy.C.Drought.D. Energy.(C)Are you worried about money? If so, I have some good news for you. Someone once said, “If all your problems can be solved with money, then you don't have any.” I get the point. Unless you are on the edge of losing everything and living in your car (which is a very sad thing that happens to people every day), your perceptions of your problems may not be serving you well.Let's take a look. Can you pay your living expenses and support your family? If so you are OK. Even if you are a family that just barely breaks even every month, you have to count that as a blessing, Most of us also have those terrible, surprising unexpected bills. But unless you you’re your job or your mind, don't you always find a way to take care of those expenses?PERTINENT(切中要害的) QUESTIONSTo see if you worry too much about finances, ask yourself a couple of questions Do you wake up worried about money? Do you check your bank balance and look at upcoming bills more than once every few days or even multiple times a day? If so, then you may have a little financial insecurity going on. Let's look at getting it undercontrol. If it's making you crazy, it can make your family a little crazy too. This type of anxiousness is passed on to others, which is important to remember whenever you have the urge to share your fears.TOO MUCH INFORMATIONTMI (too much information) happens because it seems that by releasing Pent-up(压抑的)feelings of anxiety you will feel better and hopefully more supported and that this can happen but not with your loved ones because they will take all your fair and magnify it. Talk instead with your financial advisor, your bank manager or your therapist. Laying your financial fears at the feet of your family is not good for them or for you. Yes, be honest about any problems, but if you get emotional, so will those closest to youPOSITIVE ACTIONIt's hard to be this passionate about money, but honestly, it's really the best way to get this issue solved. You have to look at it from a practical standpoint. Go over your debts, look closely at your assets and determine the best thing for you to do with your time right now.Maybe you need to use this time to get your books and other only your computer or use it to job hunt or to promote your business. Then again you may need to hire an accountant and go on some interviews. The point is simple: the only way to relieve yourself of the uncomfortable feeling of financial pressure is to take some kind of positive action.63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Financial problems are not vital ones in everyone's daily life.B. You'd better calm down when you have financial problems.C. You needn't worry about unexpected bills even if you're out of work.D. When you have financial fears, remember to share feelings with others.64. The passage implies that ______.A. the best way to deal with money problem K to take positive actionB. as long as we share feelings with others, money fear will disappearC. we should have an optimistic attitude toward financial fearsD. any problem we meet can be solved with the help of money65. The phrase lay your financial fears at the feet of your family in the sixth paragraph probably means ______.A. to solve financial fears caused by your familyB. to help your family smartly avoid financial fearsC to make your family responsible for financial fearsD. to encourage your family to face financial fears bravely66. The best title of the passage is ______.A. Perceptions of money and valueB. Passion, money and familyC. Keeping balance of psychologyD. Dealing with money worriesSection CDirections: Read the following passage. 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. Other people experience false guilt because of high expectations for themselves.B. It's possible that you feel guilty because you actually did something wrong.C. Others try to cover up their guilt by blaming others or becoming angry.D. It can also motivate people to avoid making similar mistakes later.E. In this case, it's important to remind yourself that you have limits.F. Moreover, guilt can result in physical and mental discomforts meanwhileGuilt is one of the most painful emotions that human experience but also one of the most common. Nobody enjoys feeling guilty, but this emotion serves an important purpose: It alerts a person when he or she has done something wrong. This enables the person to make amends and work to heal relationships that were damaged by their actions ____67____Nevertheless, guilt can be destructive if it is not dealt with in the right way, It can cause people to avoid others because they are too embarrassed to apologize for their actions or inactions. Some try to avoid at the pain of duty by turning to other worse habits. ____68____The proper response to guilt depends on what kind of guilt you're dealing with. For false guilty, it's important to recognize that the guilt does not reflect an actual ethical failure.For example, some false guilt focuses on failing to meet expectations you had for yourself. ___69___ No one is perfect, and no one can do everything, so admitting your limits is actually a sign of humility.It is also important to acknowledge what you're feeling. Even when you don't need to feel guilty, these feelings are real and normal, Try to balance them with positive thoughts, but realize that it often takes time for feelings to change.___70___ If so, don't try to conceal it. Apologize and ask for forgiveness. Learn from your mistakes, and try to avoid committing the same acts again. Getting on well with the person you hurt should make you guilty feeling fade.Guilt is painful, but it can serve a good purpose if you use it wellIV.

Use your own words as far as possible.Have you ever been involved in animal rescue? This is what happened to the Winter the dolphin. Winter was found off the coast of Florida in December of 2005. She was just a few months old, alone, and caught in a crab trap. The ropes from the trap were wrapped tightly around her body.The fisherman who found her called for help, and the rescue team soon arrived. The ropes had cut off the blood circulation to her tail. She was badly hurt. Her rescuers didn't think she would survive. Hoping for a miracle and racing against time to save her, the rescuers transferred her to the ClearwaterMarine Aquarium in Florida.The doctors managed to save Winter, but sadly, not her tail. He tail flukes were too damaged and had to be removed so Winter could live.The little dolphin Winter survived against all odds, but she would never be able to swim normally without a tail. Thankfully the story doesn't end here. Winter was able to swim, but not very well. Because she didn't have a tail. She moved her body in a side-to-side motion like a shark. But doctors at the aquarium were worried that unconventional moment would hurt her spine.Kevin Carroll heard Winter's story and for thought, he would could help. Heis a specialist who designs and provides prostheses for people. If he could help people, why not help a dolphin? He started working with Winter and came up with a solution for the new fluke and tail sectionKevin designed a stretchy sleeve to fit winter's body and protect her skin. Then a tail made of silicone and plastic was made to tightly fit over the sleeve. Now winter can swim like other dolphins. And she is a great inspiration to people who struggle with their own injuries.V.

I have to stay up late in order to finish all my homework. I used to complain about all this pressure (25) school with my classmates. We did not appreciate our teachers for their hard work. We only (26) (know) that we got a lot of homework.After a few months, we did not complain about homework anymore (27) we knew that our teachers worked (28) (hard) than we did. We had no right to complain. Sometimes, we said, “I didn’t go to bed until 1200 o’clock last night. Now I just want to sleep.” Our teacher would answer us, “I go to bed at 100 a.m. every day.” Since we knew how hard teachers work, we started to appreciate them. To give our thanks, we wrote a big card to the teachers (29) it was teachers’ day. When they got our card, they (30) (touch) because their students finally knew the teachers’ effort.After giving the card, I realized (31) powerful the sentence “thank you” is. When we give our thanks to somebody, the world is full of love. I say “thank you” to my friends, family, classmates, teachers, and even strangers. I like to see the smiles on their faces, so (32) (say) “thank you” every day is the way I make the world a better place.( B )The year before last, a new superhero landed on Earth to live among humans. When people needed help, Thor became their defender and saved (33) world. People loved Thor and the actor who played him — Chris Hemsworth.Hemsworth was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1983.

Audiences (40) ____ seem to get enough of him! A second Thor film, Thor 2, is due out in 2013.Section BDirections Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The Array next timeyou’re riding a subway or bus, pay attention to your fellow passengers. Chances are you’ll see plenty of them with their heads down, tapping the screens of their tablets or 41 on their smartphones. While these folks may be making good use of their time by staying 42 , their bodies are paying a heavy price for such convenience.As hand-held devices such as smartphones and tablets are becoming more common, users are reporting some new 43 problems. Florida chiropractor (脊椎按摩师) Dean Fishman began noticing an increased number of his patients 44 of neck and shoulder pain. He traced these 45 to the overuse of hand-held devices, specifically the action of bending the neck, and created the term “Text Neck.”As if the painful symptoms weren’t bad enough, Fishman warns that an untreated case of Text Neck could lead to 46 spinal (脊柱的) damage. He founded the Text Neck Institute in an effort to treat and educate those suffering from Text Neck. Treatments offered there include chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy and exercise planning.In order to avoid or reduce the possibility of getting Text Neck, use the following basic principles●Avoid awkward positioning. Don’t strain (滥用) your neck, and stay aware of how your body is 47in relation to the device.●Take frequent 48 when using any kind of mobile device.●When using a tablet, use a case that can back up the device at comfortable 49 angle.For those who 50 can’t take their eyes off their devices, there is an ironic twist – downloading a special app(应用程序)could help. Dr. Fishman has released an app called the Text Neck Indicator App, which measures the angle of your smartpphone. When the angle is appropriate, a green light appears in the upper corner of your screen. But when the angle puts you at risk for neck strain, the light turns red, obliging you to adjust your angle.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.More and more shoppers are buying things online these days, allowing them to avoid 51 salespeople and long lines at checkout counters. In spite of online convenience, 52 , there are some items — like clothes — that customers prefer to 53 before buying. In light of this, two companies are finding ways to modernize stores and 54 the gap between online and in-store retail (零售).A software company that also happens to sell designer jeans, Hointer has created a fast and painless shopping 55 for its customers.Shoppers walk into a Hointer store and select one of the many pairs of jeans 56 down from bars. Then they point their smartphones at the tag and 57 the Hointer app, after which they select the size and press “try on.” The app then directs them to a specific dressing room. German-made robots bring outthe 58 jeans and deliver them through a chute (斜槽) to the dressing room in about 30 seconds.Immediately after 59 pairs of jeans are dropped through another chute, the “outbox,” they disappear from the list in the app.Purchases at Hointer are made with a swipe (刷卡) of a credit card. And interacting with a salesperson is optional! This allows Hointer to hire fewer people and focus on their ultimate goal developing 60 that supports a retail revolution.Men’s clothing retailer Bonobos has 61 a more personalized shopping experience. Although it is — in fact — an online retailer, Bonobos has decided to open a handful of brick-and-mortar stores called Guideshops. Shoppers make a(n) 62 online before arriving at a Guideshop, where they receive one-on-one 63 from a fitting guide. Because these shops have limited inventories (存货), shoppers aren’t able to take home the outfits they select. But guides help shoppers make online purchases before they leave, after which the items will be 64 to customers in one or two days.While Hointer focuses on convenience, Bonobos Guideshops focus on customer service. But both efforts have one thing 65 giving clothing retailers a new look for the 21st century.51. A. respectable B. considerate C. aggressive D. violent52. A. however B. therefore C. anyway D. moreover53. A. convince B. guarantee C. ensure D. examine54. A. break B. bridge C. shallow D. deepen55. A. experience B. mall C. direction D. principle56.

A. contact B. instruction C. notice D. attention64. A. presented B. packaged C. delivered D. transferred65. A. in conclusion B. in common C. as usual D. in generalSection 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)Any snakebite can be dangerous if infection sets in. Some types of snake poison make the bite area swollen (肿胀的) or painful. Others cause bleeding or damage the heart’s nerves. Here are some especially dangerous snakesThe largest of all poisonous snakes, king cobras can reach 5.5 meters in length. Each king cobra bite contains enough poison to kill an elephant — or 20 people. But these big snakes usually avoid people. They live throughout India, southern China and Southeast Asia.A bite from Australia’s inland taipan, the world’s most poisonous snake, releases enough poison to kill 100 men. The good news is that people rarely come in contact with this snake, and a treatment for its poison exists.Russell ’s viper lives throughout Asia, including India, southern China, and on the island of Taiwan. It prefers grassy fields but can be found in forests and urban areas. It bites more people and causes more deaths than any other poisonous snake.Though short, the common Indian krait packs a powerful punch (攻击) in its bite. Most often, it strikes people at night while they are sleeping. Since the bite causes little pain, victims are often not sure that they have been bitten until they begin to experience stomach cramps (痉挛). Without treatment, symptoms will worsen quickly and can lead to death.The black mamba, a native of Africa, is actually olive or grey in color. Only the inside of its mouth is black. When black mambas feel threatened by a human, they make a loud hissing sound to warn the person away. If the warning is ignored, the snake will attack the person repeatedly. And they can attack quickly, moving over the ground at speeds of up to 20 kilometers per hour. 66. According to this article, what is a particular feature of the king cobra? A. Its seasonal changes. B. Its lack of movement. C. Its sense of hearing.D. Its remarkable size.67. According to this article, which of the following is known for its speed? A. The inland taipan. B. The black mamba. C. The Indian krait.D. The Russell ’s viper.68. What does the article imply about the inland taipan? A. It was once believed to be extinct. B. A chance meeting with it could be fatal. C. Some people keep one as a pet. D. Very little is known about its behavior.69. In which magazine would you most likely find this article? A. Let ’s Explore Nature B. Weekly Travel Digest C. Psychology MagazineD. Global Warning News(B)Basketball, baseball and soccer are classic sports that people will always enjoy. And yet we keepchanging popular games like these in new ways to keep them fresh.Underwater hockeyThis game is played in swimming pools with two teams of six players. Each player has flippers (蛙鞋), a snorkel and a stick used for hitting a puck (圆盘). Each team earns points by hitting the puck into its underwater goal. Other team members must be ready to take the puck when a team member goes up for air. That makes underwater hockey a true team sport.ChessboxingA sport can also be revised by mixing it with another game. In chessboxing, two players compete on the chess board and in the ring. First, their minds are tested in a game of chess. Then they use their strength in a round of boxing. They repeat this for 11 rounds. The winner beats the loser in chess, knocks him out while boxing or gets more boxing points.Though these sports may not be common, give them a look or even a try. 70. Why does the author think Underwater Hockey is a true team sport?A. Because all players in a team wear the same flippers and use a stick to hit a puck.B. Because each player in a team has to cooperate with other team members in the match.C. Because it is played underwater, the game is more dangerous than the sports played on land.D. Because each team earns points by hitting the puck into its underwater goal. 71. In Chessboxing, the winner will be the one who _____. A. wins both in chess and in boxing B. defeats his opponent in chess C. wins in chess or in boxingD. can knock his opponent out of the boxing ring72. According to the article, at most how many players in all can take part in a Bossaball match? A. 4.B. 6.C. 8.D. 10.73. In Cycleball, the author mentions catch, whose meaning may be _____.CycleballAnother fun game to watch, cycleball is like indoor soccer on wheels. Each player rides a special bike designed for the game. Like soccer, a team must put the ball in a goal. However, there is a catch . The ball can only be touched with the bikes ’ wheels or the players ’ heads. This game requires a lot of practice to learn the skills needed.BossaballThis exciting sport is part volleyball and part soccer. But unlike both of those sports, players jump up and down throughout the game. That ’s because it ’s played on an inflatable (可充气的) volleyball court with a trampoline on either side of the net. One player bounce on the trampoline while up to four others stand around it. A team can touch the ball six times before sending it back across the net. Each player may touch the ball once with arms or twice with other body parts.A. sportB. skillC. ruleD. practice( C )Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls (民意调查), sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula (准则) for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble), to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.74. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. happiness is neither predictable nor apparentB. a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC. the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income groupD. happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in society75. According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon _____.A. a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likesB. great wealth with which one can buy anythingC. a feeling that conditions are becoming for the betterD. a college degree that can help one achieve great success76. The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean _____.A. ambition to defeat others in a severe competitionB. ability to overcome difficulty and get out of embarrassing situationC. methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in lifeD. attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble77. The best title of this passage may be _____.A. What Does Happiness Consist inB. Happiness and UnhappinessC. Different inds of HappinessD. Causes of Happiness and UnhappinessSection CDirections Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Millions of personal computers across the world are running at this moment, but most are using just a fraction of their full capacity to process information. Imagine what could happen if the spare power of these millions of machines were used to solve global problems.The organization Charity Engine attempts to do just that. It enables researchers and companies to use the extra computing power of thousands of personal computers. These companies pay a usage fee that goes to carefully selected charities.The computersCharity Engine offers a free app that has the user’s computer do research as a background task. The program runs automatically, without direction from the user. Each computer works on a small chunk of a larger project and sends back its results. The results are combined to answer the researchers’ questions.The researchersCharity Engine mostly uses its computing power for companies doing scientific, medical or commercial research. For example, Rosetta@home attempts to help find cures for serious diseases by discovering the shapes of proteins. Another project, Einstein@Home, tests scientific theories. And another helps establishments in Africa such as universities search for ways to fight the spread of malaria.The CharitiesCharity Engine gives 50 percent of the profits from renting out computing power to various charities. Each organization it supports has a good reputation for working in an area of vital importance. Most of them seek to address the primary causes of poverty while bringing short-term relief. These include Oxfam, a network of organizations in 94 countries. Another is CARE International, one of the three largest international aid agencies, which works in 87 countries. Charity Engine also supports Doctors Without Borders, which supplies medical care, and WaterAid, which provides safe water and promotes hygiene (卫生) in developing countries. Another of its charities, Sightsavers, works to prevent and reverse blindness through medical treatments and provides training for the blind. Charity Engine helps many other organizations as well.An added bonusCharity Engine returns the other 50 percent of its earnings to the people who made it all possible. The app users are entered into draws. Chosen at random, the winners receive thousands of dollars in prizes!Thanks to Charity Engine, computing power that would have gone to waste is fighting poverty and bringing healing and hope.(Note Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. What does Charity Engine help companies do?___________________________________________________________________________.79. How does Charity Engine spend its earnings?___________________________________________________________________________.80.

2020年上海市宝山中学高三英语一模试卷及答案

2020年上海市宝山中学高三英语一模试卷及答案第一部分阅读(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AI started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a “maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else. The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on wheels seemed like the perfect project to accomplishthe task. I reached out to a number of local businesses and most of them responded with the greatest support for what x k w we were doing.This year we added a new element to the program. Through one of our partners, we were able to connect with the nonprofit Veteran’s Ananda Incorporated. Students in the Homebuilding class are leading the design and production of micro houses to be donated to this organization. The new partnership gives the students another focus to consider when designing and building the houses.There has been no shortage of students since our first year. Three years ago we had 41 students, the next 191, and this year it was limited to just over 160 students so we could have a safe and manageable classroom environment. The number of girls taking the class has risen steadily over the last few years as well. This class offers something for everyone and the skills are universal.1. How can we describe the young author?A. He opened a small grocery store.B. He did a lot of research in the lab.C. He enjoyed doing hands-on activities.D. He learnt about maintenance from his father.2. What do the underlined words “the task” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Getting some financial support.B. Selling a tiny house on wheels.C. Reaching out to many local businesses.D. Offering the students some problem-solving skills.3. What can be inferred about the Homebuilding class from the last paragraph?A. Its size needs increasing.B. Itis popular with the students.C. It has caused some safety concerns.D. Its classroom environment is hard to manage.BYellowstoneNational ParkbecameAmerica's first national park in 1872. The National Park Service was formed 44 years later in 1916.Yellowstone, which is mostly in the state of Wyoming, is considered an example of the success of the National Park System.Humans have been present in Yellowstone for more than 11,000 years.Yellowstone contains beautiful mountains, deep canyons(峡谷), lakes and rivers.The nameYellowstonecomes from the river running through the area. At first known as Rock Yellow River, it became known as theYellowstoneRiver.Yellowstoneis host to many different species of plants. However, the park is most distinctive because of what lies underneath it. It sits on top of an ancient super volcano, known as The Yellowstone Caldera. The caldera is 48 by 72 kilometers. And it remains an active volcano.It is believed that the last time the volcano erupted was one half million years ago. The area has had three major eruptions in the last three million years.Experts say it may erupt again in another 1,000 to 10,000 years. But each year, there are thousands of earthquakes atYellowstone. Most are too small to be felt by people visiting the park.Yellowstoneis filled with the beauty of many hot water springs. hot water and gasses are trapped under the earth. they rush to the surface in the form of hot water and steam.Old Faithful is The most famous one .Iterupts about every hour or hour and a half. The eruption can last from one and a half minutes up to 5 minutes. The amount of hot water it expels(排出)in that time can be as much as 31,000 liters or more.In addition to its beauty and wonder, Yellowstone is an animal sanctuary(保护区). It is home to the largest group of wild animals in theUnited States. As you travel through the park, you can sometimes see them in their natural habitat and hear their calls .4. What wasYellowstonenamed after?A. RockYellow RiverB. The amazing mountains.C. The stones with yellow color1D. The first discovery inwyoming.5. What makesYellowstonequite unique?A. The scenery is beautiful.B. There are a lot of explorers.C. It’s home to many plants.D. Its location is very special.6. What does the underlined word“It”in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The earth.B. Yellowstone.C.Old Faithful.D. TheYellowstoneCaldera.7. What can we infer from the text?A. The Yellowstone Caldera has been dead for years.B. Yellowstone is a shelter for the protected wildlife.C. Big earthquakes happen frequently atYellowstone.D.YellowstoneNational Parkhas attracted visitors for centuries.CI once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans.” I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their ideas, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.InChina, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there's the “thousand talent scheme.” this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries aboutChina's research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, andeven big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, forChina, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnership with top western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It's about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It's not that simple.8. Why does the writer feel disappointed at his students?A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.B. Because the six groups did not cooperate well in the brainstorm.C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.D. Because the students' ideas were lacking in creativeness.9. Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?A. Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.C. Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.10. We can infer form the passage that ________.A. China can make and sell any product all over the world from its own creation.B. high pay may not solve the problem ofChina's research environment.C. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand.D. the new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A Look for a new way of learning B. Reward creative thinkingC. How to become a creatorD. Establish a technical environmentDPlastic is piling up in ecosystems all over the world. Although its harmful impacts on both species and ecosystems have been documented, a few animals—like bowerbirds and hermit crabs—are doing what they can to recycle it. And according to a recent study, wild bees in Canada have joined the effort, which is a rare observation of behavioral flexibility in species especially insects, in increasingly plastic-rich environments.The researchers found two species of leafcutter bees putting plastic into their nests. One of the bees they studied, the alfalfa leafcutter bee, normally bites off pieces of leaves and flowers while the second bee gathers sticky substances from trees. Leafcutter bees don't build big nests or store honey like honeybees, choosing insteadsmall nests in underground holes, tree holes or cracks(裂缝)in buildings. But the researchers found that three of eight brood cells(育雏巢室)contained pieces of plastic bags, replacing 23 percent of the cut leaves in each cell on average.While they don't make honey,alfalfa leafcutter bees still make money for theU. S. and Canadian farmers by pollinating(给......传授花粉)crops including alfalfa , carrots and melons. The European insects were introduced to North America in the 1930s for that purpose, and they've since become wild, joining the continent's many native species of leafcutter bees.In a separate study conducted in Argentina between 2017 and 2018, researchers found a bee nest made entirely of plastic, which consisted of three separate cells. It's the first known example of such construction worldwide. Compared to the other nests the researchers examined, which were made of natural materials, this one had a pretty lower success rate of the bees' survival. One of the cells had a dead baby bee , another seemed to have housed an adult that had left the nest, and the third was unfinished.12. What does the animals' use of plastic show according to the study?A. How widely plastic is used.B. How strange the behavior of wildlife is.C. How some wildlife is adapting to plastic.D. How plastic pollution has harmed them.13. What do leaves mean to alfalfa leafcutter bees?A. Food.B. Shelter.C A plastic substitute. D. Traditional nest materials.14. Which is one characteristic of leafcutter bees?A. They have great economic value.B. They store honey like honeybees.C. They prefer to live in tree holes.D. They have evolved into a new species.15. What was the nest made entirely of plastic like?A. It might be warmer.B. It might be unhealthy.C. It might be easy to finish.D. It might be recyclable.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。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Monaco Grand PrixThe air is fresh with the heat of early summer as you arrive in the beautiful country of Monaco on the day of the race. Your 41to the Monte-Carlo neighborhood is bursting with color as classic styles of European architecture catch your eye. When you reach the race course area, you are led to the harbor where you will watch the race from the 42 of afriend’s yacht(游艇).Soon, the Formula One cars will pull onto the starting point and the race will begin.Each of the cars in the Monaco Grand Prix is 43 , but all of them are fast andmodern. The race course also 44 as being complex and difficult, with a frightening hairpin (发夹)turn along a very narrow street. 45 these streets at speeds over 150 kilometers per hour, drivers must take over. Even the slightest46 could turn a multi- million dollar car into a pile of waste.

Moments later, a fleet of Indy Carsrolls onto the track, 49 themselves in 11 neat rows of three. The sound of 33 turning engines rings in your ears, and you cheer with the crowd as the powerful cars take off from the starting line.Unlike Monaco Formula One cars, Indy cars are more uniform in their 50 . They tend to be much longer, and reach 260 kilometers per hour. Since the drivers must race for 500 miles, the race is quite long, 51 three to five hours. The resulting wear and tear on each car is managed with short stop. The driver’s excellent team performs 52 at amazing speeds.

A. cost B. sacrifice C. defeat D. fail Section 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)Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal track through an algorithm (演算法).Then theprogram makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity ( 圈养).As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows”. As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called . The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animalsin captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.56.How does the writer begin this article about Wild Track?A.By discussing the software that it employs.B.By praising its recent efforts to raise funds.C.By explaining how and when it was founded.D.By summarizing different opinions about it.57.According to this article, which animals are Wild Track mainly interestedin?A.Those which cause a threat to human settlements.B.Those which are now at risk of becoming extinct.C.Those which have been illegally kept as pets.D.Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago.58.What does this article talk about in detail?A. A list of locations worth exploring.B. A strategy for acquiring equipment.C. A warning not to engage in hunting.D. A technique containing several steps.59.What does the article suggest doing in wild areas?A.Admiring the wild landscape.B.Preparing well for wild weather.C.Leaving wild creatures alone.D.Consuming a diet of wild plants.(B)Science fiction paints a future where robots play an important part in everyday life. Atechnology firm is trying to make that future a reality today with an affordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Its brain, or AI block, is a cube (立方体)that fits in your hand. That block connectsto a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, it's about four inches tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around. Artibo’s designers want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based AI, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie( 对讲机 ).It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn otherlanguages!Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though. It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGO product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands byassembling visual blocks of code on the canvas ( 画布)of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of codeblocks from a programming menu, link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibo’s case coding doesn’t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won’t lose interest in Artibo.60.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is .A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn codingC.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languagesD.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots61.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Programming robots is not really complicated.B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.62.The passage implies that .A.People can program various orders even without code blocks.B.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toys.C.The more familiar you’re with coding, the more you’ll like Artibo.D.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people.(C)5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. But like many new technologies, it's causing concern about potential health issues.The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid thegroundwork for smart-phones, and 4G allowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predessor(前任),and some experts argue it could be muchfaster.Too much of a good thing?It's not just about streaming data faster, it's about streaming more of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie instantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless companies attempts to satisfy that demand.Uncertain effectsThe untested nature of 5G, and the extensiveness of itsinfrastructure( 基础设施) has some worried that the increasedexposure could have serious health effects. Wireless safety advocates(倡议人士)have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure, and one groupis trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago's neighborhoods.The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies uses with 5G.Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there is no scientific evidence of negative health effects.Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5G’s health impacts likely wouldn’t soothe her either. She said, “People can't choose whether or not to be exposed to this radiation.”“I don’t need another test. The only test that’s going to happen now is people’s lives,” said Blake, 67.Only time will tell?Though little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be problematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley.The eyes and sweat glands(腺体)are among several body partsstudies have shown couldbe at risk. Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.The millimeter waves used in SG are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big unknown,” he said.This isn't the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: They're also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, it's the first time the high- frequency waves will he used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history.“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,” Varshney said. “There has always been occurrence of this fear.”63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.5G is faster but not safe to human beings.B.5G features faster and more in transiting.C.5G can meet people's any demand in theory.D.5G just makes little impact on people's health.64.What can be inferred from the passage?limeter waves certainly affect people's health seriouslylimeter waves will cause the skin’s temperature to rise.C.It's obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology.D.It's hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health.65.The word soothe in the last but 7 paragraphs most probably means .A.to make somebody feel calm or less worried.B.to make somebody feel happy or more excited.A. You may find these colorful symbols unavoidable as they’ve become a language of their ownC. to make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfactionD. to make somebody feel inspired or more energetic.66. The best title for this passage is .A. 5G’s Advantages and DisadvantagesB. The Development of WirelessC. 5G Health ConcernD. 5G Future PredictionSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.B.People can send emoji instead of writing words to participate in a conversationC.No wonder emoji use is becoming more and more popular in various fieldsD.Today, emoji use is a standard feature in digital communicationE.But not all the people show interest in emoji especially elder onesF.Unlike most words, there isn't a certain definition for each emojiWhether you’re on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji (表情符号)regularly. 67 . While most people’s enthusiasm for emoji increased in the smart-phone era, Japan has been crazy for emoji since 1999. Designer Shigetaka Kurita invented emoji for a Japanese phone company 20 years ago as a way to make it easier to express ideas in a short message. The word emoji can be translated as “picture character” from Japanese. After the release of Kurita’s emoji, rival phone companiesin Japan began creating their own emoji. Many emoji on our digital devices today are imported from Kurita’s original set of emoji.Japan’s love for emoji continued well into the 2000s before the rest of the world discovered them. Apple Inc. officially introduced an emoji function in their software in 2011. Soon, other phone companies from around the world made it easier for their customers to use emoji68 .As you scroll (滑动)through your phone, you can see the wide selection of available emoji. More than 2,000 emoji are in existence now, with more being released each year. These numbers show the popularity and demand for emoji.Why? Because words alone can’t convey the complete meaning of a digital message. In digital communication, emoji express a tone or mood. More than 90 percent of people online useemoji especially ones that show emotion like hearts and smileys.69 . For example, they might send a red heart emoji as a response that theyreally like something instead of writing, “I love that.”Some emoji are also abstract enough for people to use in any way they like. You can send an emoji as an inside joke, which is only understood between you and your friend.70 . Nor do they belong to a specific culture. You and I give emoji meaning, because emoji is a language that belongs to all of us.IV.Summary WritingDirections: 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.People choose to become entrepreneurs( 创业者) for a wide variety of reasons. Oneimportant reason is, of course, financial reward. If you own your own business and it becomes successful, you can reap huge financial rewards. And as an entrepreneur, dependent on how much your boss decides to give you; ifs limited only by the success of your business. And speaking of bosses, not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur.Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects, rather than having others tell them what to do. They often have big dreams that that they want to pursue rather than making someone else’s dream come true. For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need. It’s a way to change the world for the better.Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy, however, nor is it always fun. Entrepreneurs often haveto work long hours, especially early on when they’re trying to gett heir businesses off the ground. that’s the reason entrepreneursneed to have a strong work ethic( 伦理 ).Employees can work 40hours a week and then stop, but for an entrepreneur, there’s no end in sight.That’s why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion; they have to be excited about what they’re doing to be willing to work hard for it. Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others. That’s important for finding investors, getting people to buy products and attracting employees.Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter. This is important from the very beginning, when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business. But even after that initial step, creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.无论时走路、骑车还是开车,遵守交通规则都很重要。

However, technology has provided solutions in the form of video conferencing platforms and educational apps. These tools have allowed teachers to engage with students remotely and provide real-time feedback. Despite these advancements, some students have struggled with the lack of structure and motivation in online learning environments. To address this, schools have introduced various strategies, such as settingspecific schedules and providing support for students with learning difficulties. The pandemic has also highlighted the digital divide, with some students lacking access to necessary technology and internet connectivity. As a result, governments and organizations have stepped in to provide resources and support to ensure that all students have equal opportunities to learn.31.

Plastic bags, bottles, and straws are commonly used items that contribute significantly to pollution. To combat this issue, many countries have implemented bans on single-use plastics. For example, the European Union has introduced a directive to reduce the use of plastic bags, and several Asian countries have implemented similar measures. However, the effectiveness of these bansis questionable. While they may reduce the use of single-use plastics in the short term, they do not address the root cause of the problem. The real solution lies in reducing the overall demand for plastic products. This can be achieved by promoting sustainable alternatives and encouraging recycling. Additionally, companies need to takeresponsibility for their products by designing them for longevity and ensuring that they are recyclable. By taking a comprehensive approach, we can reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste and create a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations.36.

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)“Runners, to your mark, Get set…” Bang! And I was off, along with a bunch of other teenage cross-country runners from high schools across the county. The day was like any other fair-weather autumn day in Maryland. But the race that day felt unique from the get-go. For one thing, I liked the course. It was my team’s home course, one I was used to running during practices. It took runners along an area of land that included open fields, hills and even winding dirt paths through a small forest. It was a beautiful 5-kilometer course. This particular race was our team’s invite, and I was proud to be sharing the course with competitors from other schools. It also meant a lot―more than normal that my parents were there to cheer me on.With so much to expect that day, I was ready to run! And I didn’t want to be stuck with the pack of other runners, as is typical at the beginning of most cross-country races. So when the gun sounded, I took off running, leaving everyone else in the dust.The first part of our course followed the outside edge of a large open field before disappearing into the forest. Within seconds of the start, I was far ahead of everyone, and all of the fans could see it. It felt magnificent.But that feeling didn’t last long. Little did I know my coach was laughing to himself, thinking, “Gabe is done for!” And I was. My body was telling me to slow down. My pride, however, said “No! Not until you’re out of sight of the spectators!” I was in agony, but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest. Once in among the trees. I slowed way down.I enjoyed most races, even while pushing myself, but this one was not enjoyable in the least. I finished the race, but in nowhere near the time I could have if I’d paced myself well from the beginning. Every time I reflect on that cross-country season, I’m reminded of something: Pride is no substitute for pace.56.What is special to the author about the race?A. The weather condition was good for runners.B. He was familiar with the home course.C. He took pride in competitors from other schools.D. His parents came to support him as usual.57.The underlined word “agony” (paragraph 4) most probably means .A. sufferingB. comfortC. reliefD. contest58.What result of the race can be concluded about the author from the passage?A. He left everyone behind and took the first place.B. He took the lead first and disappeared among trees.C. He won the race under the pressure of his coach.D. He finished the race but failed to reach his record.59.What’s the author’s reflection on the race?A. It is parents’ encouragement that leads to the result.B. It’s a pleasure to live up to your fans’ expectations.C. It’s important to pace yourself with no pride.D. It is his coach who encourages him to finish the race.(B)Ever look at your to-do list and want to run and hide? Me too. But life is more than working hard to finish tasks, collapsing into bed, judging the past 24 hours and our success by how much we've managed to tick off.So here’s how to get stuff done and enjoy yourself at the same time.1.Rename itMy friend Jim Kwik says, “Call your ‘got-to-do’ list your ‘get- to-do’list.” It’s a tiny change but a major shift.Think about it. You get to walk your dog, choose wonderful dinneringredients and go to a job each day that affords you the life you have2.Add some actionInstead of writing plain reminders down as memory urges, like “Dentist” and “Report,” add some verbsand result-based benefits, like “Book dentist and get teeth spark ly white!” or “Complete report and let outyour breath.” Imagine the good feeling attached to each agenda item and let it fuel you.3. Trust there’s timeHave you ever noticed when you’re in a rush, you make mistakes? Like whenyou’re late for work: You can’t find your jeans, you hurt your toe on the bed byaccident and you misplace your phone as you head down the elevator.When we operate from a place of calm, stuff happens faster. We find what we need. We don’t burn thetoast.It can be as simple as sitting up in bed, taking ten deep breaths when you wake up and settinga simple intention for the day (not reaching straight for Instagram and email).4.Ask yourself thisHow are you spending your days, your life? Are you havingenough fun? Can your got-to-dolist be a get-to-do list with some good moods dancing on the page and an air of “I got time!” attached to it?Yes, it probably can. Now, what’s first?60.Which of the following does the author agree with about “your to-do list”?A. Choose wonderful dinner ingredients and go to a job each day.B. Change “Dentist” into“Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!”C. Remind yourself you have plenty of time to deal with daily routines.D. Keep asking yourself questions with the air of “I got time!”61.It can be concluded that the key to getting stuff done and enjoying yourself at the same time is __________.A. a state of mindB. a get-to-do list.C. a memory urgeD. a place of calm62.What’s the writing purpose of this passage?A. To find out what to do first every day.B. To imagine the good feeling of tasks.C. To explain the importance of lifestyle.D. To discover how to enjoy daily life.(C)Upon reflection of the ideal social moral code, within one sentence, it would be: be constructive, not destructive. Though “be constructive, not destructive” sounds sensible, there are many nuances (slight differences). Sometimes it is difficult to determine if an act is exactly constructive or destructive.We can decide if something is constructive or destructive based on degree, for instance. Say your preschool son is acting up and broke a glass vase, even after you told him to stop grabbing and playing with it several times. You get a thought in your mind to spank him to give a punishment for his naughty action. However, you start to feel confused about whether this would be constructive or destructive. It might show him that not listening to you and breaking things is not welcome, but on the other hand, spanking him is an act of aggression that will hurt him physically and perhaps teach him to use force in situations later in life. There is no exact wrong or right in these moments. However, through your own reasoning, you can decide to what degree it would be beneficial or harmful to him and the situation at hand. Personally, I would not spank my son, as I think it does more destruction than construction. But, that is just me.Another nuance to consider is the definition we give to construction and destruction. For example, for some people, construction can never involve violence, while for others, it could even be an essential part. Take the example of going back in time and killing Hitler. Killing someone is definitely termed a destructive act. However, in light of the circumstances, I would assume that the majority of people would agree that killing Hitler at the height of his power if they had the chance would be seen as a constructive, thus positive act. Therefore, our definitions often determine our values and how we behave upon those principles.Additionally, construction and destruction can be filtered through a sociopolitical lens. Construction can be seen as good to some, and bad to others. Take for instance creating new homes in a forested area. Yes, homes for humans are made, but also thehabitat for countless animals is being destroyed, or at least altered to an extreme. Construction, if it is true, it should be beneficial to all parties included. That is a tall order, though. Every step we take kills bacteria and other microorganisms—and perhaps plants, insects, and who knows what else. Destruction can be seen as a part of each moment. Plus, what a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive to a minority. Is there a way to determine which side is correct? It is almost impossible. Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook does not mean it is correct, or more appropriate. There have been many instances in history when acts were regarded as constructive, but were later seen as destructive with a modern lens.Though I consider “Be constructive, not destructive” the most solid one-sentence social moral code, it is not without its nuances and problems. For instance, the degree to which we consider something constructive or destructive, definitions of being constructive and destructive, and construction and destruction seen through a sociopolitical lens are all nuances. These differences consist of the confusion that this ideal social moral code causes. However, I cannot imaginea better code than the one stated in this essay in terms of living one’s life in a social context.63.From the author’s view whether to punish a kid’s wrong doing or not depends on what extent.A. it would bring him benefits or harmsB. he would modify his destructive behaviorC. his act is constructive or destructiveD. his destructive result might bring about64.The author mentions the example of killing Hitler to showthat .A. killing someone is definitely termed a destructive actB. the majority of people would agree to kill HitlerC. killing Hitler is seen as a constructive and positive actD. definitions of social code decide our values and principles65.What does the underlined sentence (paragraph 4) imply?A. Construction and destruction can advance social developments.B. Construction can be seen as good to some, and bad to others.C. What a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive.D. Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook does not mean it is correct.66.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Wrong or Right of Social Moral CodeB. Judgment of Construction or DestructionC. Ideal Social Moral CodeD. How to Live One’s Life in a Social ContextSection CDirections: Read the following passages. 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.st.fm allows users to listen to music for free, as well as buy tracks.B.The website Last.fm is a convenient and useful resource for music lovers.C.There are plenty of websites that allow music lovers to stay in touch with the news relating to their hobby.D.If you want to use Last.fm for communication, you might find that traditional social networks are moresuitable for this purposeE.This website is of great benefit for music enthusiasts.F.This technology is convenient and definitely helpful for music lovers.A Useful T ool for Music LoversWith the development and expansion of the Internet, many hobbies and interests of modern people have gained a new dimension. The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share their excitement about trends, to communicate and share experiences. Specialized websites provide users with even more information about their subjects of interest and help discover new boundaries of their passions. This refers to movies, arts, modeling, programming, literature, and music as well. One can hardly find a person who would not be listening to music on the way to work, at home, or elsewhere. (67) ___________________.One such website is Last.fm: a mix of a social network and an Internet-radio that tracks down the music its usersservices. The design of Last.fm gives a welcoming impression, though some might find it too simple. The site is displayed in red tones, with the possibility of switching it to a black skin and, despite the quantity of information, is easy to understand and navigate. Users can also decorate their profiles with pictures of themselves, all kinds of badges, diagrams, tag clouds, and statistics relating to music.The availability of multiple functions also speaks in favor of Last.fm. One of its significant advantages over many other musical websites is the function of scrobbling (歌曲记录), which means tracking down the music one had been listening to. (69)___________________. With its aid, Last.fm searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. These people are called neighbors and the idea is that they can get familiar with the fans of their favorite kind of music and, most likely, make new friends. The information about upcoming events nearby, as well as recommendations given about new music that a user might like are also gathered and introduced by the means of scrobbling. If a person listens to one or two bands on a consistent basis, the website will display a few new artists that play in a similar genre, including new ones, so that a user can be in touch with the latest trends within their musical interests.(70) ___________________. However, there is a serious drawback connected to it. The fact is that the majority of free tracks and albums are available only to citizens of the USA, Germany, and Great Britain, while in other countries, users can only listen to short introductory samples. And yet those lucky ones from the places mentioned before can listen to one track online up to five times a day. Besides, the website had recently changed its policy towards monetization and reduced the number of free services. Last.fm also works as a kind of musical Wikipedia, providing users with biographies of bands, or actual musicians. There is hardly a need to mention that musicians can also benefit from using the resource, presenting information about themselves and involving fans.71.IV. Summary WritingDirections: 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.Beyond IdentityWe often think of ourselves as our body, mind, and emotions. We take these three elements and make a combination. However, we also often talk about a person’s soul. Is there any scientific basis for the soul? Surprisingly, there is. Each unique personality a person has (even in circumstances of memory loss and other illnesses), the feeling and identity of the self beyond age (especially experienced as we grow older), and our inevitable subjective experience as an individual consist of a scientific foundation for the soul.Despite the constant shift in the links between our brain cells, we remain essentially the same personality. This consistency is most obvious in the case of mentally ill patients or people who have experienced memory loss. According to Scientific American: Basically, no matter what happens to our brain, our unique personality seems to shine through.Besides on e’s personality, the soul of a person can be identified through one’s consciousness. Though we commonly identify with our body and what we see in the mirror, we also have a sense that we are not a certain age—as our sense of self usually leans less on age and rather on our subjective feeling of who we are essentially.Lastly, each person is inevitably subjective about his or her experience. Despite humans being very, very similar to each other in DNA and overall composition, our understanding of reality is vastly different from individual to individual. According to Psychology Today, “While science has made tremendous progress explaining the functioning of the brain, why we have a subjective experience remains mysterious. The problem of the soul lies exactly here, in understanding the nature of the self, the “I” in existence that feels and lives life.The soul of a person is incredibly challenging to prove scientifically. However, we can say that the soul has some basis in science. These realities of our behavior, character, and the way you notice things might not be tested strictly, but they are very difficult to deny.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.他在整理书籍时发现了一本旧日记。

The event dates back to May 9, 1914, (21) America’s President Wilson established the official holiday. Some people had begun campaigning for the holiday a few years (22) (early). Finally in 1914, the president made it official. He declared that each second Sunday in May (23) (dedicate) to thanking the nation’s mothers. He also ordered all government buildings (24)(display) the national flag on that day. According to President Wilson, this was done “as a public expression of …love …for the mothers of our country.”Before long, people in other countries (25)(begin) asking for a similar holiday to celebrate their mothers. Mexico celebrated its first official Mother’s Day on May 10, 1922. May 10th became their annual holiday because the country preferred a fixed date to (26)that changed.Other countries are happy to share the day with the United States. Some on the list include Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,Finland, Italy, Japan and Turkey.Oddly enough, the U.S. Congress rejected a Mother’s Day resolution at first. Today, though, Mother’s Day is a highly popular holiday. It’s also very successful commercially. Along with giving cards, candy and flowers, (27) (take) moms out for brunch is a very popular gesture. America’s National Restaurant Association says Mother’s Day is the year’s most popular day for e ating out.But why do we honor our mothers? Many moms lovingly dedicate their lives to their children. Moms sacrifice time, sleep and often their own dreams. Moms try to provide a strong foundation (28) children can build their lives.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Monaco Grand PrixThe air is fresh with the heat of early summer as you arrive in the beautiful country of Monaco on the day of the race. Your 41to the Monte-Carlo neighborhood is bursting with color as classic styles of European architecture catch your eye. When you reach the race course area, you are led to the harbor where you will watch the race from the 42 of afriend’s yacht(游艇).Soon, the Formula One cars will pull onto the starting point and the race will begin.Each of the cars in the Monaco Grand Prix is 43 , but all of them are fast andmodern. The race course also 44 as being complex and difficult, with a frightening hairpin (发夹)turn along a very narrow street. 45 these streets at speeds over 150 kilometers per hour, drivers must take over. Even the slightest46 could turn a multi- million dollar car into a pile of waste. The driver who claims first place receives an award and willgo down 47 as one of the world’s finest drivers.Indianapolis 500On race day the grandstands (大看台)are filled with excitement as you enter theIndianapolis Motor Speedway. You find your seat, 48 yourself against the harsh heat and marvel at the huge black oval (椭圆形的)track below. Moments later, a fleet of Indy Carsrolls onto the track, 49 themselves in 11 neat rows of three. The sound of 33 turning engines rings in your ears, and you cheer with the crowd as the powerful cars take off from the starting line.Unlike Monaco Formula One cars, Indy cars are more uniform in their 50 . They tend to be much longer, and reach 260 kilometers per hour. Since the drivers must race for 500 miles, the race is quite long, 51 three to five hours. The resulting wear and tear on each car is managed with short stop. The driver’s excellent team performs 52 at amazing speeds.

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)Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal track through an algorithm (演算法).Then theprogram makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity ( 圈养).As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows”. As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called . The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animalsin captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.56.How does the writer begin this article about Wild Track?A.By discussing the software that it employs.B.By praising its recent efforts to raise funds.C.By explaining how and when it was founded.D.By summarizing different opinions about it.57.According to this article, which animals are Wild Track mainly interestedin?A.Those which cause a threat to human settlements.B.Those which are now at risk of becoming extinct.C.Those which have been illegally kept as pets.D.Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago.58.What does this article talk about in detail?A. A list of locations worth exploring.B. A strategy for acquiring equipment.C. A warning not to engage in hunting.D. A technique containing several steps.59.What does the article suggest doing in wild areas?A.Admiring the wild landscape.B.Preparing well for wild weather.C.Leaving wild creatures alone.D.Consuming a diet of wild plants.(B)Science fiction paints a future where robots play an important part in everyday life. Atechnology firm is trying to make that future a reality today with an affordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Its brain, or AI block, is a cube (立方体)that fits in your hand. That block connectsto a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, it's about four inches tall.Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around. Artibo’s designers want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based AI, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie( 对讲机 ).It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn otherlanguages!Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though. It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGO product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands byassembling visual blocks of code on the canvas ( 画布)of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of codeblocks from a programming menu, link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibo’s case coding doesn’t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won’t lose interest in Artibo.60.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is .A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionshipB.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn codingC.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languagesD.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots61.What can be concluded from the passage?A.Programming robots is not really complicated.B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.62.The passage implies that .A.People can program various orders even without code blocks.B.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toys.C.The more familiar you’re with coding, the more you’ll like Artibo.D.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people.(C)5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. But like many new technologies, it's causing concern about potential health issues.The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid thegroundwork for smart-phones, and 4G allowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predessor(前任),and some experts argue it could be muchfaster.Too much of a good thing?It's not just about streaming data faster, it's about streaming more of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie instantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless companies attempts to satisfy that demand.Uncertain effectsThe untested nature of 5G, and the extensiveness of itsinfrastructure( 基础设施) has some worried that the increasedexposure could have serious health effects. Wireless safety advocates(倡议人士)have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure, and one groupis trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago's neighborhoods.The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies uses with 5G.Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there is no scientific evidence of negative health effects.Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5G’s health impacts likely wouldn’t soothe her either. She said, “People can't choose whether or not to be exposed to this radiation.”“I don’t need another test. The only test that’s going to happen now is people’s lives,” said Blake, 67.Only time will tell?Though little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be problematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley.The eyes and sweat glands(腺体)are among several body partsstudies have shown couldbe at risk. Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.The millimeter waves used in SG are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big unknown,” he said.This isn't the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: They're also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, it's the first time the high- frequency waves will he used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history.“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,” Varshney said. “There has always been occurrence of this fear.”63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.5G is faster but not safe to human beings.B.5G features faster and more in transiting.C.5G can meet people's any demand in theory.D.5G just makes little impact on people's health.64.What can be inferred from the passage?limeter waves certainly affect people's health seriouslylimeter waves will cause the skin’s temperature to rise.C.It's obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology.D.It's hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health.65.The word soothe in the last but 7 paragraphs most probably means .A.to make somebody feel calm or less worried.B.to make somebody feel happy or more excited.A. You may find these colorful symbols unavoidable as they’ve become a language of their ownC. to make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfactionD. to make somebody feel inspired or more energetic.66. The best title for this passage is .A. 5G’s Advantages and DisadvantagesB. The Development of WirelessC. 5G Health ConcernD. 5G Future PredictionSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.B.People can send emoji instead of writing words to participate in a conversationC.No wonder emoji use is becoming more and more popular in various fieldsD.Today, emoji use is a standard feature in digital communicationE.But not all the people show interest in emoji especially elder onesF.Unlike most words, there isn't a certain definition for each emojiWhether you’re on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji (表情符号)regularly. 67 . While most people’s enthusiasm for emoji increased in the smart-phone era, Japan has been crazy for emoji since 1999. Designer Shigetaka Kurita invented emoji for a Japanese phone company 20 years ago as a way to make it easier to express ideas in a short message. The word emoji can be translated as “picture character” from Japanese. After the release of Kurita’s emoji, rival phone companiesin Japan began creating their own emoji. Many emoji on our digital devices today are imported from Kurita’s original set of emoji.Japan’s love for emoji continued well into the 2000s before the rest of the world discovered them. Apple Inc. officially introduced an emoji function in their software in 2011. Soon, other phone companies from around the world made it easier for their customers to use emoji68 .As you scroll (滑动)through your phone, you can see the wide selection of available emoji. More than 2,000 emoji are in existence now, with more being released each year. These numbers show the popularity and demand for emoji.Why? Because words alone can’t convey the complete meaning of a digital message. In digital communication, emoji express a tone or mood. More than 90 percent of people online useemoji especially ones that show emotion like hearts and smileys.69 . For example, they might send a red heart emoji as a response that theyreally like something instead of writing, “I love that.”Some emoji are also abstract enough for people to use in any way they like. You can send an emoji as an inside joke, which is only understood between you and your friend.70 . Nor do they belong to a specific culture. You and I give emoji meaning, because emoji is a language that belongs to all of us.IV.Summary WritingDirections: 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.People choose to become entrepreneurs( 创业者) for a wide variety of reasons. Oneimportant reason is, of course, financial reward. If you own your own business and it becomes successful, you can reap huge financial rewards. And as an entrepreneur, dependent on how much your boss decides to give you; ifs limited only by the success of your business. And speaking of bosses, not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur.Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects, rather than having others tell them what to do. They often have big dreams that that they want to pursue rather than making someone else’s dream come true. For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need. It’s a way to change the world for the better.Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy, however, nor is it always fun. Entrepreneurs often haveto work long hours, especially early on when they’re trying to gett heir businesses off the ground. that’s the reason entrepreneursneed to have a strong work ethic( 伦理 ).Employees can work 40hours a week and then stop, but for an entrepreneur, there’s no end in sight.That’s why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion; they have to be excited about what they’re doing to be willing to work hard for it. Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others. That’s important for finding investors, getting people to buy products and attracting employees.Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter. This is important from the very beginning, when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business. But even after that initial step, creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.无论时走路、骑车还是开车,遵守交通规则都很重要。

CEO of IFIX wrote in a blog post for Harvard Business Review that he wouldn't hire anyone who used poor grammar. In fact, he 31 all applicants to take a grammar test before moving forward.According to Wiens, he’s found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something 32 unrelated to writing ― like stocking shelves or labeling parts. What's more, he believes that grammar skills indicate several other valuable 33 , including learning ability, professional credibility ( 信用) and attention to detail. Another CEO named Brad Hoover noted that good grammar is a predictor of professional success.Honestly ask yourself whether you'd hire someone with a poorly written resume. Will this person be able to deliver on your business plan? How 34 will they be able to communicate your goals and expectations? How likely is it that they will be able to successfully 35 with others and build your brand? In short, if you want to succeed ― as a boss or an employee ― good grammar is 36 .“Great leaders can understand how to use it well i n context,” wrote Kevin Daum in an article. As a leader, you must be able to manage, organize, 37 and support your team. Strong communication skill both written and verbal, allow you to accomplish that.

In fact, if you want to slow down mental aging, writing by hand is your best bet because it forces you to use more of your motor skills.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 eachblank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A study from Switzerland’s Université de Genève(UNIG E) looked to answer the question of which came first: a decrease in physical activity or cognitive (认知的) decline?“Interrelationships have been41 between these two factors, particularly in terms of memory but also regarding the growth and survival of new neurons (神经元).” said Boris Cheval, a researcher at UNIGE’S Swiss Centre for Affective Sciences (CISA) in a press release. “But we have never yet42 tested which comes first: Does physical activity prevent a decline in cognitive skills or 43 ? That’s what we wanted to 44 .”Earlier studies have considered that physical activity 45 cognitive decline. But according to Cheval, recent studies may 46 that past research has “only told half the story… since those recent studies demonstrate that our brain is 47 when it comes to engaging in physical a ctivity.”Researchers at UNIGE tested the two possible 48 by using data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe, a socioeconomic database covering more than 25 countries across the continent.Over the course of 12 years, 105, 206 adults 49 in age from 50 to go were tested every two years on their cognitive abilities and their physical activity.Researchers 50 cognitive abilities with a verbal fluency test that saw participants name as many animals as they could in 60 seconds. They also tested cognitive abilities with a 51 test where they memorized 10 words before reciting them. Physical activity was measured using a scale from 1 to 4. A 1 indicated participants “never”52 physical activity while a 4 meant they were physically 53 “more than once a week”.The study found that the 54 of what past studies concluded was true ― cognitive abilities mostly influence physical activity, not the other way around.“This study backs up our theory that the brain has to make a real effort to get out of a sitting lifestyle and that by55 cognitive capabilities, physical activity will follow,” Cheval said.41.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)“Runners, to your mark, Get set…” Bang! And I was off, along with a bunch of other teenage cross-country runners from high schools across the county. The day was like any other fair-weather autumn day in Maryland. But the race that day felt unique from the get-go. For one thing, I liked the course. It was my team’s home course, one I was used to running during practices. It took runners along an area of land that included open fields, hills and even winding dirt paths through a small forest. It was a beautiful 5-kilometer course. This particular race was our team’s invite, and I was proud to be sharing the course with competitors from other schools. It also meant a lot―more than normal that my parents were there to cheer me on.With so much to expect that day, I was ready to run! And I didn’t want to be stuck with the pack of other runners, as is typical at the beginning of most cross-country races. So when the gun sounded, I took off running, leaving everyone else in the dust.The first part of our course followed the outside edge of a large open field before disappearing into the forest. Within seconds of the start, I was far ahead of everyone, and all of the fans could see it. It felt magnificent.But that feeling didn’t last long. Little did I know my coach was laughing to himself, thinking, “Gabe is done for!”And I was. My body was tel ling me to slow down. My pride, however, said “No! Not until you’re out of sight of the spectators!” I was in agony, but I kept up my pace until I reached the forest. Once in among the trees. I slowed way down.56.What is special to the author about the race?A.The weather condition was good for runners.B.He was familiar with the home course.C.He took pride in competitors from other schools.D.His parents came to support him as usual.57.The underlined word “agony” (paragraph 4) most probably means .A.sufferingB. comfortC. reliefD. contest58.What result of the race can be concluded about the author from the passage?A.He left everyone behind and took the first place.B.He took the lead first and disappeared among trees.C.He won the race under the pressure of his c oach.D.He finished the race but failed to reach his record.59.What’s the author’s reflection on the race?A.It is parents’ encouragement that leads to the result.B.It’s a pleasure to live up to your fans’ expectations.C.It’s important to pace yourself with no pride.D.It is his coach who encourages him to finish the race.(B)Ever look at your to-do list and want to run and hide? Me too. But life is more than working hard to finish tasks,collapsing into bed, judging the past 24 hours and our success by how much we've managed to tick off.1.Rename itMy friend Jim Kwik says, “Call your ‘got-to-do’ list your ‘get- to-do’list.” It’s a tiny change but a major shift.Think about it. You get to walk your dog, choose wonderful dinneringredients and go to a job each day that affords you the life you have2.Add some actionInstead of writing plain reminders down as memory urges, like “Dentist” and “Report,” add some verbsand result-based benefits, like “Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!” or “Complete report and let outyour breath.” Imagine the good feeling attached to each agenda item and let it fuel you.3. Trust there’s timeHave you ever noticed when you’re in a rush, you make mistakes? Like whenyou’re late for work: You can’t find your jeans, you hurt your toe on the bed byaccident and you misplace your phone as you head down the elevator.When we operate from a place of calm, stuff happens faster. We find what we need. We don’t burn thetoast.It can be as simple as sitting up in bed, taking ten deep breaths when you wake up and settinga simple intention for the day (not reaching straight for Instagram and email).4. Ask yourself thisHow are you spending your days, your life? Are you having enough fun? Can your got-to-dolist be a get-to-do list with some good moods dancing on the page and an air of “I got time!” attached to it?Yes, it probably can. Now, what’s first?60.Which of the following does the author agree with about “your to-do list”?A.Choose wonderful dinner ingredients and go to a job each day.B.Change “Dentist” into“Book dentist and get teeth sparkly white!”C.D.61.A.a state of mindB. a get-to-do list.C. a memory urgeD. a place of calm62.What’s the writing purpose of this passage?A.To find out what to do first every d ay.B.To imagine the good feeling of tasks.C.To explain the importance of lifestyle.D.To discover how to enjoy daily life.(C)Upon reflection of the ideal social moral code, within one sentence, it would be: be constructive, not destructive.Additionally, construction and destruction can be filtered through a sociopolitical lens. Construction can be seen as good to some, and bad to others. Take for instance creating new homes in a forested area. Yes, homes for humans are made, but also the habitat for countless animals is being destroyed, or at least altered to an extreme. Construction, if it is true, it should be beneficial to all parties included. That is a tall order, though. Every step we take kills bacteria and other microorganisms—and perhaps plants, insects, and who knows what else. Destruction can be seen as a part of each moment. Plus, what a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive to a minority. Is there a way to determine which side is correct? It is almost impossible. Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook does not mean it is correct, or more appropriate. There have been many instances in history when acts were regarded as constructive, but were later seen as destructive with a modern lens.Though I consider “Be constructive, not destructive” the most solid one-sentence social moral code, it is not without its nuances and problems. For instance, the degree to which we consider something constructive or destructive, definitions of being constructive and destructive, and construction and destruction seen through a sociopolitical lens are all nuances. These differences consist of the confusion that this ideal social moral code causes. However, I cannot imagine a better code than the one stated in this essay in terms of living one’s life in a social context.63.From the author’s view whether to punish a kid’s wrong doing or not depends on what extent .A.it would bring him benefits or harmsB.he would modify his destructive behaviorC.his act is constructive or destructiveD.his destructive result might bring about64.The author mentions the example of killing Hitler to s how that .A.killing someone is definitely termed a destructive actB.the majority of people would agree to kill HitlerC.killing Hitler is seen as a constructive and positive actD.definitions of social code decide our values and principles65.What does the underlined sentence (paragraph 4) imply?A.Construction and destruction can advance social developments.B.Construction can be seen as good to some, and bad to others.C.What a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive.D.Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook does not mean it is correct.66.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A.Wrong or Right of Social Moral C odeB.Judgment of Construction or DestructionC.Ideal Social Moral CodeD.How to Live One’s Life in a Social ContextSection CDirections: Read the following passages. 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.st. fm allows users to listen to music for free, as well as buy tracks.B.The website Last.fm is a convenient and useful resource for music lovers.C.There are plenty of websites that allow music lovers to stay in touch with the news relating to their hobby.D.I f you want to use Last.fm for communication, you might find that traditional social networks are moresuitable for this purposeE.This website is of great benefit for music enthusiasts.F.This technology is convenient and definitely helpful for music lovers.A Useful Tool for Music LoversWith the development and expansion of the Internet, many hobbies and interests of modern people have gained a new dimension. The Internet allows enthusiasts to unite to share their excitement about trends, to communicate and share experiences. Specialized websites provide users with even more information about their subjects of interest and help discover new boundaries of their passions. This refers to movies, arts, modeling, programming, literature, and music as well. One can hardly find a person who would not be listening to music on the way to work, at home, or elsewhere. (67) .One such website is Last.fm: a mix of a social network and an Internet-radio that tracks down the music its users listento. (68) . Besides, it has a numberof advantages compared to other sources providing similar services. The design of Last.fm gives a welcoming impression, though some might find it too simple. The site is displayed in red tones, with the possibility of switching it to a black skin and, despite the quantity of information, is easy to understand and navigate. Users can also decorate their profiles with pictures of themselves, all kinds of badges, diagrams, tag clouds, and statistics relating to music.The availability of multiple functions also speaks in favor of Last.fm. One of its significant advantages over many other musical websites is the function of scrobbling ( 歌曲记录), which means tracking down the music one had been listening to. (69) . With its aid, Last.fm searches for people with similar musical preferences and shows one a list of those whose interests match to some extent. These people are called neighbors and the idea is that they can get familiar with the fans of their favorite kind of music and, most likely, make new friends. The information about upcoming events nearby, as well as recommendations given about new music that a user might like are also gathered and introduced by the means of scrobbling. If a person listens to one or two bands on a consistent basis, the website will displaya few new artists that play in a similar genre, including new ones, so that a user can be in touch with the latest trends within their musical interests.71.IV. Summary WritingDirections: 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.Beyond IdentityWe often think of ourselves as our body, mind, and emotions. We take these three elements and make a combination. However, we also often talk about a person’s soul. Is there any scientific basis for the soul? Surprisingly, there is. Each unique personality a person has (even in circumstances of memory loss and other illnesses), the feeling and identity of the self beyond age (especially experienced as we grow older), and our inevitable subjective experience as an individual consist of a scientific foundation for the soul.Despite the constant shift in the links between our brain cells, we remain essentially the same personality. This consistency is most obvious in the case of mentally ill patients or people who have experienced memory loss. According to Scientific American: Basically, no matter what happens to our brain, our unique personality seems to shine through.Besides one’s personality, the soul of a person can be identified through one’s consciousness. Though we commonly identify with our body and what we see in the mirror, we also have a sense that we are not a certain age—as our sense of self usually leans less on age and rather on our subjective feeling of who we are essentially.Lastly, each person is inevitably subjective about his or her experience. Despite humans being very, very similar to each other in DNA and overall composition, our understanding of reality is vastly different from individual to individual. According to Psychology Today, “While science has made tremendous progress explaining the functioning of the brain, why we have a subjective experience remains mysterious. The problem of the soul lies exactly here, in understanding the n ature of the self, the “I” in existence that feels and lives life.The soul of a person is incredibly challenging to prove scientifically. However, we can say that the soul has some basis in science. These realities of our behavior, character, and the way you notice things might not be tested strictly, but they are very difficult to deny.V.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.他在整理书籍时发现了一本旧日记。

Note that there is one word more than you need.A.invaluableB.roughlyC.satisfyingD.distractionE.simplyF.advantageG.reasonable H.performed I.schedule J.planned K.excellencePeople tend to think that productivity involves doing several things at once,but according to Cal Newport, the secret to success is the opposite of multitasking.Newport is the author of Deep Work,a book that describes the benefits of focusing on one thing and doing it with31.Newport defines deep work as"the ability to focus without32on a cognitively(认知地)demanding task."It's the opposite of shallow work,which is made up of simple tasks that are usually33while distracted.According to Newport,deep work is a(n)34skill in today's economy.It allows you to learn difficult things quickly and produce at a high level.Most people are distracted when they work,so you learn to work without distraction,that gives you35.Deep work enables you to produce to the best of your ability andacquire new skills quickly.Developing excellence in one's craft can be a deeply36try.But deep work itself is also a skill,which means the more time you spend at it,the easier it gets.Moreover,if you only work at a shallow level,your ability to do deep work decreases.So how do you conduct deep work into your work life or your studies?It's essentially important to37 deep work into your day.Otherwise,it's easy to let your time fill up with shallow work.Newport recommends doing deep work as your first task of the day.That way you get it done before distractions build up.Shallow work does need to get done,but if you save it for later in the day,you can get your deep work done,too.Scheduling deep work sessions for the same time every day can turn them into a habit.This makes it easier to spend time on them.Because deep work is by definition cognitively demanding,you won't be able to do it all day.Beginners can usually only focus on deep work for38an hour,and even experts have trouble going more than four hours. So set39goals for yourself.If you really focus,you'll be surprised at how much you accomplish in a few hours.By focusing on40sessions of deep work,you can get more done in less time and feel more satisfied. 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.Ideally,childhood is a time of growth and learning,preparing for adulthood and also having fun.But for many children around the world,this time is cut short when they are forced to work,sometimes in dangerous conditions.41,the United Nations(U.N.),some national governments and other organizations42June 12as the annual World Day Against Child Labor.As of2020,around160million children worked as child laborers,which means that one child in10was a child laborer.43,child labor has decreased over the past20years,but in recent years,this progress has stopped.Child labor is44from ordinary housework,helping with a family business or(for older children) working to earn pocket money when not in school.Work done by children is45as child labor when it harms the child physically,mentally,socially or46,or when it prevents the child's education.About79million children are engaged in hazardous child labor.Sometimes this means the work itself is dangerous because of heavy machinery or exposure to47.Hazardous child labor can also involve harsh conditions,long hours,or48to various kinds of abuse.The primary goal of the World Day Against Child Labor is raising49of the issue and encouraging individuals,organizations and governments bating(打击)child labor is a complex task.It involves social workers who identify child laborers and take action to provide these children and their families with other51.But it also involves change in communities as a whole,52the social regulations that can lead adults to make their children work.Child labor and poverty often go hand in hand as parents feel removing their children from school is necessary to earn money for their survival.So,measures meant to fight53are also tied to preventing child labor.Ensuring that children have quality educational opportunities is also important.If more opportunities were 54,more parents might give up the immediate benefit of a child's paycheck to give that child an education.Child labor is harmful to children and to communities,since it prevents children from growing into healthy, educated citizens who could make a(n)55in society.By highlighting the problem and offering a variety of solutions,the World Day Against Child Labor can make the situation a bit better.41.A.In addition B.As a result C.Above all D.After all42.A.recognize B.discover C.choose D.consider43.A.Nevertheless B.Therefore C.Overall D.Moreover44.A.distinguished B.transferred C.ranged D.evolved45.A.evaluated B.classified bined D.separated46.A.sincerely B.negatively C.positively D.morally47.A.chemicals B.lights C.wastes D.gases48.A.harm B.pollution C.exposure D.danger49.A.value B.awareness C.status D.significance50.A.take place B.take care C.take over D.take action51.A.options B.questions C.elements D.examples52.A.promoting B.urging C.challenging D.adjusting53.A.disease B.disaster C.survival D.poverty54.A.available B.sustainable C.accessible D.advisable55.A.choice B.difference C.effort D.decisionSection BDirections:Read the following four passages.Each passage is followed by several questions.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)During the Second World War,Dr.William Walsh served on a U.S.Navy ship in the South Pacific.While serving there,Walsh observed the poor health conditions in which the people of the South Pacific lived.After the war ended in1945,Walsh founded an organization called Project Hope.Its goal was to bring health education and care to people in poor countries around the world.In1958,Walsh convinced U.S.President Eisenhower to allow Project Hope to rent a U.S.Navy hospital ship for just one dollar a year.Many companies and ordinary people donated money to Project Hope.The organization used the funds to turn the navy ship into a civilian hospital ship called the SS Hope.During the next14years,the SS Hope traveled to every region of the world.Wherever it went,it provided health care for needy people and helped poor countries establish their own health care systems.In1974,the SS Hope was retired from service,and Project Hope began to provide health care on land instead.The story of the SS Hope inspired Don and Deyon Stephens to buy a passenger ship in1978and transform it into another hospital ship.Since then,their organization,called Mercy Ships,has sent ships equipped with medical supplies and hospital beds around the world.Doctors volunteer to travel on these vessels or ships and perform free surgeries on people who need them.They can correct people's vision,straighten bent limbs,remove facial tumors(肿块)and more.Mercy Ships also provides medical equipment for local health clinics and builds medical facilities. In addition,it teaches local people how to farm their land more effectively and more sustainably.56.What happened to the SS Hope in1974?A.It sank unexpectedly.B.It was fully repaired.C.It launched new services.D.It ceased operations.57.Who gave Walsh permission to use a ship for one dollar?A.An entertainer in America.B.Two American accountants.C.An America's top politician.D.Smart American investors.58.What does the article indicate about surgeries on Mercy Ships'vessels?A.They put physicians and nurses at risk.B.They're done at no charge to patients.C.They mainly benefit wealthy individuals.D.They've resulted in serious infections.59.According to this article,what do local people learn to do with the aid of Mercy Ships?A.Make a good living from tourism.B.Grow crops with greater success.C.Manufacture popular electronics.D.Establish education institutions.(B)From:Bridget Pecolini<*************************>To:Anson Wong<*********************>Re:Questions about online math contestDate:June18,2023Dear Mr.Wong,Thank you for your email.We're so glad your children are signed up to participate in our math contest.I hope it will be a rewarding and enriching experience for them.You can access the training session and practice tests by logging into our website at .Once you're signed in,you will see several tabs on the left-hand side.One of them will say"Enrolled."If you click on the drop-down menu there,you'll find the names of the children you registered.If you click on each name,you'll be given the option of joining a training session or doing practice tests.I hope that answers your question!Please let me know if you need any further help.Sincerely,Bridget Pecolini60.What can Gary do at the beginning of August?A.He can take a class to learn how to succeed.B.He can do the contests from two years ago.C.He can contact the contest organizers.D.He can try the most recent practice contest.61.Why did Bridget contact Anson?A.She was checking in on him.B.She was responding to his email.C.She was looking for information.D.She was asking him to pay.62.When does the official contest take place?A.It takes place on June18.B.It takes place on August7.C.It takes place on August12.D.It takes place on August14.(C)You constantly find yourself apologizing to a friend when you've done nothing wrong.You feel you must obey someone's demands,or they will be upset with you or even harm you or themselves.An unclear or specific threat is made that causes you to fear that someone will reveal a secret or weakness,so you do what that person wants.Or perhaps a relative is trying to make you feel obliged to do something by saying,"That's what friends or family do for each other."They arouse feelings of guilt in you for not meeting their needs.If you have had experience with any of these cases,then you are the victim of emotional blackmail(勒索). This style of handle controls you through your emotions.Fear,obligation and guilt-FOG-are used by an emotional blackmailer to get what they want from people.Anyone-a friend,colleague,parent,partner or other family members-could be that person.Their demands are intended to control their victim's behavior in unhealthy methods.Intentional or unintentional,if your needs are always brushed aside in favor of the other person's,things need to change.Dr.Susan Forward identifies six stages in emotional blackmail.Implied or obvious demands come first."I don't think you should do things with that person.They're not good for you."After this kind of statement,the ball is in the victim's court,so stage two is resistance.The victim often avoids the blackmailer or suggests alternatives instead of saying no.Stage three is persistent pressure by the blackmailer:"If we were really friends,you'd do it." Stage four involves threats:"If you don't do this...then I will..."The victim doesn't want the blackmailer to make good on their threats,so obedience,which is stage five,often leaves the victim feeling guilty or resentful.In stage six the blackmailer backs off until the next demand.What can you do?First,recognize if you are being pressured,threatened or controlled.Stay calm,and stop so you can consider other possibilities.Identify your triggers;don't be pressured into an immediate response.Offer a compromise(妥协).Tell the blackmailer how you feel,and give them a chance to acknowledge their behavior and change.If they won't,walk away from the relationship.Under no circumstances should you let your fears be used against you.63.According to the passage,emotional blackmail means______.A.a kind of emotion that can be mailed to others onlineB.a kind of action to influence others by means of emotionC.a colour that can greatly influence others'emotionD.a situation where emotion can be stored and given out freely64.What is the purpose of using Dr.Susan Forward's six stages in emotional blackmail?A.To illustrate the process of emotional blackmail.B.To explain the origin of emotional blackmail.C.To prove the existence of emotional blackmail.D.To demonstrate the theory of emotional blackmail.65.The word resentful in the last paragraph but one most probably means______.A.amazedB.frightenedC.indifferentD.angry66.We can conclude from the passage that______.A.wherever you are,it is impossible to avoid emotional blackmail in lifeB.whenever you're emotionally blackmailed,just let it be with no responseC.it's an advisable way to give a proper response when emotionally blackmailedD.it's a correct response to sincerely negotiate with emotional blackmailer thenSection CDirections:Read the following passage.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.But this technology can be dangerous as well.B.You just need to have some experience with technology as well as a proper computer.C.Therefore,AI technology will be used more and more wildly in the future.D.AI text-to-image generators will become as common and easy to use as Google image search.E.Rather,it will categorize every possible detail.F.Meanwhile,the generator can help people to recognize various information accurately.Have you ever wondered what you would look like as a cartoon character or a marvel superhero?With the power of artificial intelligence(AI)text-to-image generators,you can create images just like that-without any art skills.67How does it work?AI text-to-image generators are trained through a process called machine learning.In this process,the generator's"brain"is fed massive numbers of images and learns to distinguish what they are.But the generator doesn't just learn to tell the difference between a banana and a balloon.68These pixel-level details are then stored in a mathematical space.When someone gives the generator a text passage such as"Doraemon riding a white horse,"the program uses algorithms(算法)to"think." Moments later,the program will create an entirely unique image that you requested.Some artists worry that they are being replaced by this technology.But other artists like to cooperate with the generator,using its power for ideas and inspiration.This powerful tool is now available to anyone through generators like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E.You can use them to create all kinds of imaginative images.69The dark sideGenerators like Stable Diffusion are trained using images that are gathered from all over the internet.But the training process doesn't exclude(排除)images that are violent or inappropriate,so the generators"learn"those as well.The DALL-E program comes with built-in filters that prevent it from generating perverse(变态的)images. But Stable Diffusion is an open-source technology,meaning that people can modify its code and remove the content filters.Despite this,Stable Diffusion's founder Emad Mostaque remains optimistic about how people will use his generator.He says,"The bad stuff that people create...will be a very,very small percentage of the total use."For better or for worse,70But don't generate anything you'd be ashamed to show your mother!IV.Summary Writing71.Directions: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.Do you have a favorite podcast?That can be a difficult question to answer for some as there are so many options.That is because the world is full of interesting topics and thoughts about them.If you feel you have something engaging and valuable to share,start a podcast.A podcast is a series of audio episodes that cover a particular subject.The first step to creating a podcast is to find your topic.It's believed that the best topics are ones that you know a lot about and love.Another important step is to make sure you have the right equipment.While podcast equipment can be complex and expensive,it doesn't have to be.For your first podcast,you can simply rely on your phone and computer.You can record all of your audio on your phone.Then with your computer-and the right software-you can mix the audio.This is the process of putting your audio together into one perfect-sounding file.After you have your topic and equipment,you'll want to choose your format.Your podcast could be one person speaking,two people talking,or many people offering their opinions.Your podcast could also include more than one of these options.Once you've decided,you can start drafting your episodes.However,whatever format or formats you choose, maintain the same structure for each episode.The next step is to find a quiet place and do your recording.When you've completed your recording and audio mixing,you'll need to find a platform for your podcast. Luckily there are plenty of free and paid platform options on which to upload your podcast.Before uploading, make sure you have an interesting title and good tags for your show.Be sure to post about your show on social media.Get your podcast listed in a podcast directory,too.You want to get the word out about your podcast to grow your audience.Your podcast just might become someone's new favorite.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the word given in the brackets.72.坦白说,你昨天在会上表达的观点还是有争议的。

Iowa State University.The experimental study compared the effect f playing Mine-craft,with or without instruction,to watching a TV show or playing a race video game.Those____21____(give)the freedom to play Mine-craft without instruction were most creative.“It’s not just that Mine-craft can help induce creativity.There seems to be something about choosing to do it that also matters,”said Douglas Gentile,a professor of psychology.____22____you are not familiar with the game,Gentile says Mine-craft is like a virtual Lego world.The game,which has sold more than100million copies,allows players to explore unique worlds and create anything they can imagine.Study participants randomly assigned to play Mine-craft were split into two groups.The one receiving instruction was told to play as creatively as possible.After40minutes of play or watching TV,the352participants completed several creativity tasks. ____23____(measure)creative production,they were asked to draw a creature from a world much different than Earth.More human like creature scored low for creativity and those less human-like scored high.Surprisingly,those instructed to be creative while playing Mine-craft were the____24____(creative).Gentile says there’s no clear explanation for this finding.In the paper published by Creativity Research Journal,he,Jorge Blanco-Hrrera,lead author and former master’s student in psychology: and Jeffrey Rokkum,former Ph.D.student in psychology,outlined possible reasons why the instructed Mine-craft group scored lower.Blanco-Herrera says the instructions may have changed subjects’motivation for play.“____25____(tell)to be creative may have actually limited their options while playing, resulting in a less creative experience,”Blanco-Herrera said.“It’s also possible they used all their‘creative juices’while playing and had____26____left when it came time to complete the test.”Video games can have both harmful and beneficial effects.Gentile’s previous research has shown the amount,content and context and video games____27____(influence)what players learn through repeated experiences.____28____much of Gentile’s research has focused on aggression or pro-social behavior,he says the same appears to be true for creativity.Most video games encourage players to practice some level of creativity.For example,playersmay create a character and story for role-playing games or be rewarded for creative strategies in competitive games.The researchers say even first-person shooter games____29____potentially inspire creativity as players think about strategy and look for advantages in combat.“The research is starting to tell a more interesting,nuanced picture.Our results are similar to other gaming research____30____________you get better at what you practice,but how you practice might matter just as much,”Gentile said.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more

oil spills,but of“microbe spills”that could spread disease and destroy entire populations.The creation and____34____release of extremely poisonous microbes, however,is only one cause for pletely rational and____35____scientists are talking about possibilities that stagger(动摇)the imagination.Should we breed people with cow-like stomachs so they can digest grass and hay,thereby ____36____the food problem by modifying us to eat lower down on the food chain?Should we biologically alter workers to fit the job requirement,for example,creating pilots with faster reaction time or assembly-line workers____37____to do our monotonous work for us?Should we use genetic forecasting to pre-eliminate“unfit”babies?Should we grow reserve organs for ourselves,each of us having,as it were,a“savings bank”full of____38____kidneys,livers or hands?Wild as these notions may sound,everyone has its____39____(and opposers)in the scientific community as well as its striking commercial application.As two critics of genetic engineering,Jeremy Rifkin and Ted Howard,state in their book Who Should Play God?“Broad scale genetic engineering will probably be introduced to America much the same way as assembly lines,automobiles,vaccines,computers and all the other technologies.As each new genetic advance becomes____40____practical,a new consumer need will be exploited and amarket for the new technology will be created.”III.Reading Comprehension(41–55题,每题1分;56–70题,每题2分;共45分)Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Deliberation is not always the best optionHumans have developed over millions of years of evolution to respond to certain situations

distinguishes people from other animals.The question of when to trust your gut(直觉)and when to test your___43___—whether to think fast or slow,in the language of Daniel Kahneman,a psychologist—___44___in the office as much as it does in the savannah(大草原).Deliberative thinking is the feature of a well-managed workplace.Strategic changes and budget discussions are built on rounds of meetings,memos,formulas and presentations.Processes are increasingly designed to___45___instinctive responses.From blind screening ofjob applicants to using“red-teaming”techniques to pick apart a firm’s plans,precision___46___ instinct.Yet instinct also has its place.Some decisions are more connected to emotional responses and inherently(固有的)less___47___to analysis.Does a marketing campaign

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)I had always been one of those quiet boys who preferred dreams to the real world.I was,in addition,absurdly shy,and therefore often mistaken for a fool,which upset me deeply.For nothing terrified me more than the prospect of correcting a false impression.Though I was often blamed by mistakes made by my classmates,I never dare to say a word in self-defense.I would simply go home to hide in a corner and cry.My greatest pleasure was to sit alone,reading,and let my thoughts drift away in the stories.My daydreams were in sharp contrast to real life;they were full of adventures and heroic deeds.They left marks on me.There was,for instance,a book about the history of the Roman Empire,in which an ambassador,while negotiating a treaty,was told that he was to accept the terms offered,on pain of death:his response was to plunge his arm into a fire and continue with his deliberations,in absolute calm.Inspired by his courage,I proceeded to test my own powers of resilience by plunging my own hand into the fire,only to burn my fingers badly.I can still see that ambassador,smiling calmly through his pain.Father hated my reading all the time,and sometimes he threw away my books.Some nights he refused to let me turn on the light in my bedroom.But I could always find a way,and after he caught me reading by the light of a string-wick lamp,he gave up and left me to it.There was a time when I tried my hand at writing;indeed,I even made a few little poems,but I quickly abandoned my efforts.No matter what I had bottled up inside me,I was extremely anxious about letting it out,and so my adventures in writing ended.I did,however,carry on painting.There was,I thought,no risk of revealing anything personal.I just took something fromthe outside world and brought it to life on paper.Sometimes I did hide some personal expression in it,but I made sure that it was visible enough to be seen and trivial enough to be ignored.The first time I showed my painting to my father,he was caught in silence for a while and then he breathed deeply,and said:“My son finally made something.”Then here I am,as a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts, wondering how everything happened,from my daydreams to painting.56.The sentence“They left marks on me.”(in paragraph2)means________.A.daydreams did nothing but hurt the writer badlyB.daydreams influenced the writer's behavior in real lifeC.the writer had lasting memory of the books he readD.the writer couldn't distinguish books form reality57.The writer gave up writing because________.A.it was not as interesting as readingB.he was too shy to reveal his inner worldC.he couldn't write good worksD.his father didn't like him writing58.Throughout the passage what can we learn about the writer's father?A.He was impressed with his son's paintingB.He didn't like the personality of his son.C.He was touched by his son's persistence in reading.D.He had a high expectation of his son in writing.59.The passage is mainly about________.A.the power of readingB.the writer's adventurous daydreamsC.reflection on the start of a careerD.the efforts made to be painter(B)“Essential oils can have a major impact on your mood and health.When you apply an oil to your skin,it affects your physical state.When you inhale them,it affects your mental state,”says the“grande dame”of aromatherapy Jeanne Rose,author of The Aromatherapy Book: Applications andInhalations.A few drops of eucalyptus on your skin will help heal a burn and smelling a pine tree might make you think of childhood Christmases.There are no rules for how to inhale oils.You can put a few drops on a tissue,or add some to water to spritz around the room or use in a diffuser(喷雾器)or vaporizer.Be very careful,however,when applying oils to the skin.Always dilute them in another oil, like palm,coconut or olive to prevent burns or allergic reactions.“A rule of thumb is15drops per one ounce of cream,oil or lotion,”says Sylla Sheppard-Hanger,the founder and director of Atlantic institute of Aromatherapy in Tampa,Florida.HERE’S THE OIL TO REACH FOR WHEN YOU NEED TO:Digest a big meal:A few drops of diluted peppermint.“It calms down the digestive system,”Rose says.Forget it’s freezing outside:“Conifer oils,like pine,black spruce,cedar and Christmas fir, can help combat seasonal affective disorder when inhaled,”Rose says.Citrus oils like orange or tangerine,which are reminders of summertime,are also good.Settle down after a big party:Sweet marjoram and lavender are sedatives.“They’ll knock your kids right out,”Sheppard-Hanger says.Get out of bed on a dark,cold morning:Peppermint,or any mint really,can provide a morning jolt when inhaled.Kill germs:Spray citrus oils tree oils like pine,to help clean the air during sickness.Decongest a nose:Eucalyptus,spruce or rosemary work for this.Try inhaling a few drops on a tissue to help with clogged nasal passages.60.What kind of readers is likely to buy The Aromatherapy Book:Applications and Inhalations?A.Gardeners who provide raw materials for manufacturers of essential oils.B.Researchers dedicated to inventing new essential oils to keep people in good health.mon people hoping to improve health condition with essential oils.D.Psychotherapist seeking treatments for serious mental and physical disorders.61.What is the appropriate way of using essential oils?A.Spritz the oil directly around a room.B.Mix them with cream in proportion.C.Smell the fragrance from the bottle.D.Apply oils to treat skin allergy.62.The oils that can relieve your symptom of bad cold are________.A.peppermint oilsB.conifer oilsC.citrus oilsD.spruce oils(C)By the end of the century,if not sooner,the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物)called phytoplankton.Because of the way light reflects off the organisms,these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface.Ocean colour varies from green to blue,depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankon.Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas,while reducing it in other spots,leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface,where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean whilegiving off oxygen.When these organisms die,they bury carbon in the deep ocean,an important process that helps to regulate the global climate.But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow,but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz,a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science,built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century.In a world that warms up by3℃, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur.The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer.But in some waters,such as those of the Arctic,a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton,and these areas will turn greener.“Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,”she said,“but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter?Phytoplankton are the base of the food web.If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean,Dutkiewicz said,“it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable,but they could mean significant changes.“It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,Dutkiewicz said,“but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”63.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.64.What does the underlined word“vulnerable”in Paragraph3probably mean?A.Sensitive.B.Beneficial.C.Significant.D.Unnoticeable.65.What can we infer from the passage?A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.B.Dutkiewicz’s model aims to avoid phytoplankton changes.C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.66.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.Section CDirections:Read the following passages.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.Thus,creativity will be the most valuable thing in the future.B.Customers are expected to pay more money for the extra-special qualities.C.The internet,for example,has made such ads look old-fashioned.D.It has made possible a situation in which customers can tell advertisers what they think.E.Contrarily,there is almost certain to be an increase in every form of advertising in future years.F.The traditional TV advertising campaign will not reach the whole family any more.The explosion of new media,ranging from the internet to digital television,means that people working in advertising will have to come up with more ways to catch the public’s attention in the future._________67_________No longer will all members be watching the same programme:some will be watching different channels on their own TVs,surfing the net or doing both at the same time.The advertising industry will have to work“harder and smarter to cut through the“mess”of the future with a wide range of new media,all competing to catch the consumers’eyes.People have become more individual in their consumption of advertising.New technology has made experimenting with new forms of advertising possible.The monologue where the advertisement tells housewives that this is the washing powder they should buy is just a cliché(陈词滥调)now._________68_________There is,consequently,little hope of them surviving for more than another twenty years.A much closer relationship with the consumer is gradually being created.The definition of what constitutes advertising will expand well beyond the conventional mass media.Shopping environments will themselves become a part of the advertising process. Increasingly,they will exist not simply to sell goods,but also to entertain people and to make sure that they enjoy their time there.The aim will be to“warm”people towards these places so that they will return to purchase goods there again.In spite of these and other changes,it is highly unlikely that TV,print and radio will disappear altogether as advertising media._________69_________But other marketing strategies,such as public relations and direct marketing,will become as important as advertising.Advertising agencies will have to reinvent themselves.They will no longer be able simply to produce advertisements and then support these through PR,direct marketing or the internet.Instead,they will have to change the whole way they look at communication and start thinking about ideas which are not specific to one discipline._________70_________Originality of thinking has always been in short supply.It will continue to be so in the future.But there will be increasing coston the advertiser’s ability to be imaginative and to think laterally about engaging the consumer in a broader variety of media.IV.Summary Writing(10分)Directions: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.Absent-mindedness“Most events of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a simple lack of attention,”says Dr.Daniel Schacter, a distinguished psychologist and memory scientist.“You’re supposed to remember something,but you haven’t encoded it deeply.”“Encoding,”Schacter explains,“is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later.”Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations.If you put your mobile phone in a pocket of a jacket,for example,and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation,you’ll probably forget where exactly you put your mobile phone.Your memory itself isn’t failing you.Rather,you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.As many people accept,women have slightly better memories than men,possibly because they pay more attention to their environment,and memory relies on just that.Yes,visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness.But be sure the cue is clear and available.If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch,put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don't leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness.“A man who can recite sports statistics from30years ago may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox,”says Zelinski,a scientist from New York University.There are many cases in life where women can remember prices of bags of different brands while they tend to forget the specific place where they put their bags.V.Translation(第1-2句,每句3分;第3句,4分;第4句5分;共15分) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.周末,乡间步道吸引了许多喜爱郊游的家庭。

Early examples of STEAM learning include teaching students how mathematical concepts such as geometry(几何学) are rooted in artworks.While the rise of STEAM learning is relatively new, there are already figures that prove the integration of these seemingly ____38_____ disciplines is supporting student performance at school. A study conducted by the University of Florida _____39_____ that students who are engaged in music class do better in math. For example, female high school students enrolled in music appreciation class scored 42points higher on the math section of their SATs. Formal experience with the arts is proven to cultivate innovative thinking, adaptability and other problem- solving skills that are necessary for mastering STEM abilities. in other words,_____40______ is a pioneer for students to understand, use, and apply technologies in new ways.III.
