Campsites close at 2 pm on Monday 3rd August.• You will not be allowed to bring in glass bottles of any kind. Broken glass is very dangerous for kids. Small stoves can be used to cook food but ONLY in allowed cooking areas.• The Lulworth Castle site is a beautiful natural site and we want to keep it that way, so please help us by keeping it clean—Keep Bestival Tidy!21.According to the text, Camp Bestival .A. has won awards each year since 2008B. attracts 30,000 people every yearC. is aimed at young kidsD. is held every summer22.If a couple brings their 3-year-old child to Camp Bestival 2015, they should pay .A. £ 375B. £ 380C. £ 390D. £ 41023.For Friday arrivals, they .A. may stay in the campsites till midnight on MondayB. are refused entry to the campsites after 2 pmC. are required to park their cars before 9 amD. can enter the campsites in the morning24.We can infer from the text that Camp Bestival is .A. new-bornB. smoke-filledC. student-centeredD. environmentally-friendlyBYears ago, students applying to colleges and universities had to have their applications and personal essays printed out and then “snail-mail ed”. Flash forward to today’s world of Facebook, Instagram and WeChat, where photos, videos and mobile phones rule. Fortunately, several new tools are making it easier for college applicants to use technology to show off their personalities, skills and creativity.ZEEMEEOne of the more popular innovations in college applications is ZeeMee, a free mobile app that allows students to upload personal profiles and videos to create visual resumes. More than 220 colleges and universities offer a ZeeMee option as part of the application process. The video can show the unique creative aspects ofthe applicants.THE COALITION LOCKERAnother relatively new tool comes from the Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success, now used by more than 110 member colleges and universities. Among the group’s stated goals are getting students engaged in college prep early and using technology to create a supportive application process that encourages reflection and self-discovery.Students who sign up for the free platform get access to a digital “locker”, which they can use all through high school to save class papers, artwork, newspaper stories, videos and photos to share with colleges when they eventually apply.VIDEO — CHAT INTERVIEWSAt some schools, an interview with an admission officer is an important part of the application process. To make it easier, several virtual interviewing tools have popped up, such as a video-based platform from Kira. More than 140 universities worldwide use Kira’s video assessment tool to conduc t real-time interviews with prospective students. During the interview, candidates are shown the questions prerecorded by the particular school and must respond in real time by talking into the camera on their laptop or phone. In addition to showing their ability, to speak fluently in English and think on their feet, it helps admission officers determine the “motivation, commitment and drive” of applicants.UNIQUE SCHOOL TOOLSSome universities have come up with their own ways to allow students to show their skills and personalities. For example, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, encourages applicants to display their technical abilities and creativity by submitting a “Maker Portfolio” —a written or videotaped description of a project that shows creative and problem-solving skills. While a new app would fit the bill, the project could be anything from an origami design to a potato cannon.25.Which of the apps give students more guidance from their high school?A. ZEEMEE.B. THE COALITION LOCKER.C. VIDEO — CHAT INTERVIEWS.D. UNIQUE SCHOOL TOOLS.26.What does the underlined word “it” in the fourth part of the passage refer to?A. The video interview.B. The description.C. The application.D. The student’s ability.27.What is the common feature required by colleges and universities according to the passage?A. Creativity.B. Braveness.C. Willingness to share.D. Technical ability.CTeaching is more than leadership. Some of the teacher's time and effort are directed toward instruction, some toward evaluation. But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an effective organizational structure and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place. A group that is totally disorganized, unclear about its goal . or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learning group. The pattern includes helping to form and maintain a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.On the first day of class, the teacher faces a room filled with individuals (个体 ). Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist. But there is no sense of group unity, no set of rules for conduct in the group , no feeling of belonging. If teachers are successful leaders, they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages working together.Standards and rules must be set to keep order, make sure of justice and protect individual rights, but do not contradict(相悖) school policy. What happens when one student hurts another's individual rights? Without clear regulations agreeable to the students and teachers, the classroom can become chaotic,(混乱的). Students may break rules they did not know existed. If standards are set without participation from the class, students may spend a great deal of creative energy in destroyingthe class environment or finding ways to break rules.No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and creating a positiveatmosphere, the task is never complete. Regular maintenance(维持) is necessary.Conflicts arise. The needs of individual members change. A new kind of learning taskrequires a new or organizational structure. Sometimes outside pressures such asholidays, upcoming tests or sport competitions, or family troubles cause stress inthe classroom. One task for the teacher is to recreate a positive environment byhelping students deal with conflict , change, and stress.28.The underlined word “maintain" in Paragraph l probably meansA. keepB. buildC. recreateD. evaluate29.According to the author, the teacher should .A. free students from outside pressuresB. set the standards and rules on his ownC. be responsible for a well-organized classD. focus more on instruction and evaluation30.From the passage we can lean that .A. rules cannot be changed once they're formedB. outside pressures may not cause tension among studentsC. if the teacher well units his students, he then will finish his taskD. if rules are not acceptable both to students and teachers, the classroom can bea mess31.What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?A. To provide information for teaching.B. To show the importance of' teaching a class.C. To study the teacher's behavior in the classroom.D. To compare the teacher's behavior with the students' in class.DThe famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautifulsunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in frontof it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with that sunset?”“No, sir,” the men answered.The director was angr y. “Why not?” he asked.“Well, sir,” one of the men answered, “we’re on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airp ort, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”“That’s a very good idea!” the director sai d. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. Then at ni ne o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir,” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained, “now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.32.One evening, the director sent his camera crew out ________.A. to film a scene on the seaB. to find an actor and an actressC. to watch a beautiful sunsetD. to meet the audience33.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?A. Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.B. Because he was angry with his crew.C. Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.D. Because it was his secretar y’s suggestion.34.The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because ________.A. it went well with the separation of the hero and heroineB. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the eveningC. it was more moving than a sunriseD. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset35.After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands ________.A. because he was moved to tearsB. as he saw everything in the film moving backwardsC. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedD. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The experts analyzed the effects of taxes on sugary drinks, tabacco and alcohol in countries that have introduced them and found that the criticism that they are punishing the poorest in unfounded.Experts did a survey. They looked at 13 countries: Chile, Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Albania, Poland, Turkey, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Niger, Nigeria, India and Timor-Leste. They found that wealthier families generally spend more on alcohol, soft drinks and snacks. In India, for instance, wealthier households spent seven times more on alcohol and three times more on soft drinks and snacks compared to poorer households. So those households end up paying a larger proportion of any tax.On the other hand, taxes have a greater impact on the smaller household budgets of poorer families. They respond by buying less, with greater benefits for their health. In the UK, say the authors, the response to the possible introduction of a minimum price for alcohol was estimated to be 7.6 times larger in the poorest households, compared with the wealthiest.In Mexico, the introduction of a sugary drinks tax resulted in an average of 4.2 litres less of soft drinks purchased per person, with a 17% decrease in purchases among lower income groups and almost no change in higher income groups. In Lebanon, they say, a 50% increase in the price of cigarettes would lead to twice as many people quitting smoking in poorer households as wealthy families.“The evidence suggests that concerns about higher taxes on tobacco, alcohol, and soft drinks harming the poor are overstated,” said Dr. Rachel Nugent from RTI International in Seattle, USA, and chair of the Lancet Taskforce on NCDs and economics.“Some degree of taxation on tobacco is common in many countries, and whilewe are starting to see progress on alcohol taxes, there is much more governments should be doing – in both high and low income countries – to consider the careful introduction of taxes on other unhealthy products like soft drinks and snacks. Price policies such as taxes will be a key part of the response to rising rates of non-communicablediseases(慢性非传染病).”The UK sugar tax is a levy on the manufacturers of 18p per litre for drinks containing 5g of sugar per 100ml and 24p on those with 8g per 100ml.Many companies have reformulated their products, often swapping artificial sweeteners for sugar. Some – like Coca-Cola – have decided to stick to the original recipe and the price will rise, although the bottles and cans will shrink to reduce the impact.38.What do we know about the “sin taxes”?A. They receive warm welcome in developing countries.B. They help people get rid of unhealthy lifestyles.C. They have the same effects on the poor and rich.D. They have a deeper influence on groups with high income.39.Which of the following is TRUE about the responses to “sin taxes”?A. The public have turned a deaf ear to it.B. The government has introduced taxes on snacks.C. Many companies have raised the price of their products.D. Coca-Cola will use smaller packages to counter the impacts.40.The author support his ideas in the passage by .A. giving examplesB. telling storiesC. analyzing causes and effectsD. reasoning and concludingCI’d be lying if I said a dog-like robot opening a door for another dog-like robot doesn’t creep me out. A full discussion of robot dogs is for another day, but for now, researchers studying the cognition(认知)and welfare of real dogshave a less threatening view of dogs and technology, particularly when touchscreens are involved.Like you, animals can learn to interact with the content displayed on touchscreens, and their touch reveals something about their choice, which in turn reveals something about their mind. Animals both on and off land can be trained to use touchscreens — from chimpanzees to dogs, cats, and even dolphins, among others. Touchscreen studies have explored how and what dogs categorize, their ability to learn byexclusion(排除), and how they discriminate between different images. An added bonus is that, once a dog has mastered the touchscreen, humans can remove themselves from the study and can’t unconsciously give signals to the dog.Researchers are now posing a new set of questions: are touchscreens beneficial to the user? Can touchscreens exercise the dog’s mind, in addition to serving as a window into it?No better place to start than with older pet dogs, a group facing a unique set of challenges. Aging dogs can have reduced physical activity compared to their younger counterparts. Less attention is often given to their learning, training and other mental activities; after all, who hasn’t heard the wrong proverb, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But dog minds are not meant to be inactive. Instead, “studies point to the fact that aging seems to be slowed by mental and physical stimulation, and thus stopping these activities might actually lead to faster aging in dogs.”Lisa Wallis and colleagues at the Senior Family Dog Project at ELTE University in Budapest are exploring the effects of touchscreens on dog physiological, behavioral, and cognitive well-being.Their recent conference paper gives us a look at how dogs learn to use the touchscreen and the direction of future research. Over the course of a number of sessions, dogs learned that when they nose-touch a particular image on the screen, a food treat pops out. At first, only a single image appears on the screen. Once the dogs reliably learn to nose-touch the image, they move on todiscrimination training where two images appear together and only one image is “correct.” Only two out of one hundred thirty dogs were unable to grasp the task, and three displayed frustration suggesting touchscreens are within the capacity of the majority of senior dogs.Wallis and colleagues will continue investigating long-term effects of touchscreen use, but it seems promising. “The positive association to the touchscreen is so strong that on several occasions when the dog was alone (the trainer had stepped out to answer the phone), and the feeder failed, dogs continued to work on the touchscreen with no reward until the end of the session.” Owners, even those initially skeptical, were impressed by the strategies their dogs used. They also observed that dogs slept soundly upon returning home from touchscreen sessions, highlighting that mental activity can have some of the same effects as physical exercise.Further studies will explore the effects of long-term touchscreen use on dog personality, activity levels, measures of well-being, and influence on the dog-human bond. Stay tuned.41.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Animals can decide the content shown on touchscreens.B. Animals naturally have the ability to use touchscreens.C. People can discriminate between dogs’ abilities by exclusion.D. People can tell dogs’ needs through their touch on the screen.42.By using the proverb in paragraph 4, the author intends to stress .A. aging dogs are too old to learn new skillB. aging dogs experience a decline in energyC. training younger dogs is more productiveD. training aging dogs is possible and beneficial43.What is revealed by the research conducted by Lisa Wallis?A. The dogs master the touchscreen use step by step.B. Rewards are a must for dogs to finish the sessionC. The dogs regard nose-touch as a form of physical exercise.D. It remains to be seen whether it has a positive effect on dogs.44.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. How robot dogs have threatened the world.B. How people establish better dog-human bonds.C. How touchscreens can be employed to train dogs.D. How long-held myths about dogs mislead people.D①One by one, prejudices are disappearing in the West. People may harbour private suspicions that other people’s race or sex makes them inferior—but to say so openly is totally taboo. One old prejudice remains respectable, though. Just ask a childless person.②They are not charged to special taxes, as they were in Soviet Russia; nor are they driven from their homes, as they still are in some poor countries. The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. Childless politicians are charged with not having a proper stake(利害关系)in society. “He talks to us about the future, but he doesn’t have children!” complained Jean-Marie Le Pen, co-founder of the National Front party, of Emmanuel Macron, who went on to win the French presidency. Similar attacks on Theresa May and Angela Merkel also failed—but researchers find that many voters quietly agree.③The charges against the childless should be thrown out, along with other social prejudice. In many rich countries, between 15% and 20% of women, and a slightly higher proportion of men, will not have children. The share is rising. Some have medical problems; others do not meet the right person in time; still others decide they do not want them. Whatever the cause, the attacks on the childless are baseless.④If non-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way of showing it. They are more likely to set up charitable foundations than people with children, and much more likely to donate money to good causes. According to one Americanestimate, the mere fact of not having children raises the amount a person leaves to charity by a little over $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful counterweight to the world’s parents, who stop social immobility by passing on their social and economic advantages to their children.⑤The fact that so many senior politicians lack offspring(子孙)ought to put to rest the idea that they do not care for society. Five of the G7 countries are led by childless men and women. Mr. Macron, Mrs. May, Mrs. Merkel, Shinzo Abe and Paolo Gentiloni have their faults, but they are not notably less able than Justin Trudeau (who has three children) let alone Donald Trump (who has five). Their opportunities for nepotism(裙带关系)are limited. And they spare their countries dynastic politics.⑥The charge that childless people fail to pull their weight in population is correct, but is less serious than it appears. Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. But to sustain (维持)public pensions in the long term, countries do not actually need more parents. What they need instead is more babies. It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. Ireland, yet another country with a childless leader, still manages it today.⑦The childless also do everyone else a favour by creating wonderful works of art. British novelists have been especially likely to have no offspring: think of Hilary Mantel, P.G. Wodehouse and the Brontë sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen on its ten-pound note. That decision has was controversial, though it was hard to see why. Few people have written as shrewdly(出神入化)about money or about families—even though Austen did not marry, and had no children.45.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. The childless often get punished in society.B. The childless often come under sharp criticism.C. Most successful politicians have no childrenD. Childlessness affects the result of an election.46.The childless are prejudiced because people think the childless .A. have a strange way to show selfishnessB. set a bad example for young peopleC. are not as able as those with childrenD. are the government’s financial burden47.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. Accepting more immigrants.B. Reducing the pensions for the aged.C. Encouraging parents to have more children.D. Supporting the political leaders with no children.48.What is the author’s attitude towards the childless?A. Understanding B. SkepticalC. Disappointed D. Reserved49.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? (①to⑦represent Paragraphs 1 to 7)A.B.C.D.50.What is the best title for the passage?A. In defence of the childlessB. In hope of having a child or notC. Reasons for not having childrenD. Measures to address aging problems第II卷(非选择题)四、任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

People may harbour private suspicions that other people’s race or sex makes them inferior—but to say so openly is totally taboo. One old prejudice remains respectable, though. Just ask a childless person.②They are not charged to special taxes, as they were in Soviet Russia; nor are they driven from their homes, as they still are in some poor countries. The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. Childless politicians are charged with not having a proper stake(利害关系)in society. “He talks to us about the future, but he doesn’t have children!” complained Jean-Marie Le Pen, co-founder of the National Front party, of Emmanuel Macron, who went on to win the French presidency. Similar attacks on Theresa May and Angela Merkel also failed—but researchers find that many voters quietly agree.③The charges against the childless should be thrown out, along with other social prejudice. In many rich countries, between 15% and 20% of women, and a slightly higher proportion of men, will not have children. The share is rising. Some have medical problems; others do not meet the right person in time; still others decide they do not want them. Whatever the cause, the attacks on the childless are baseless.④If non-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way of showing it. They are more likely to set up charitable foundations than people with children, and much more likely to donate money to good causes. According to one American estimate, the mere fact of not having children raises the amount a person leaves to charity by a little over $10,000. The childless are thus a small but usefulcounterweight to the world’s parents, who stop social immobility by passing on their social and economic advantages to their children.⑤The fact that so many senior politicians lack offspring(子孙)ought to put to rest the idea that they do not care for society. Five of the G7 countries are led by childless men and women. Mr. Macron, Mrs. May, Mrs. Merkel, Shinzo Abe and Paolo Gentiloni have their faults, but they are not notably less able than Justin Trudeau (who has three children) let alone Donald Trump (who has five). Their opportunities for nepotism(裙带关系)are limited. And they spare their countries dynastic politics.⑥The charge that chil dless people fail to pull their weight in population is correct, but is less serious than it appears. Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. But to sustain (维持) public pensions in the long term, countries do not actually need more parents. What they need instead is more babies. It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. Ireland, yet another country with a childless leader, still manages it today.⑦The childless also do everyone else a favour by creating wonderful works of art. British novelists have been especially likely to have no offspring: think of Hilary Mantel, P.G. Wodehouse and the Brontë sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen on its ten-pound note. That decision has was controversial, though it was hard to see why. Few people have written as shrewdly(出神入化)about money or about families—even though Austen did not marry, and had no children.45.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.
