In light of the increasing presence and importance of computers in classrooms, people can’t help wondering whether computers can substitute teachers in the near future.Classroom computer technology is being used for different types of communication—presentation, interaction, and collaboration. Students are required to be readers and writers, editors and publishers and they are expected to collaborate with others, working closely together to learn even more in this process.However, it is impossible for computers to replace teachers in classrooms. For one thing, instead of being the source of knowledge, high-quality teachers guide their students to process, analyze and apply what they have learned across academic subjects and into the real world. For another, a teacher is there to monitor every slight change in students’ attitude, to respond to and encourage them whenever they show signs of frustr ation or impatience. Those human aspects are not going to be replaced by machines at any time. (165词)(Thus, I am confident that computers are to replace real teachers in classrooms. For one thing, the model of classroom instruction from the late 1800s just wasn’t designed to meet 21st-century expectations. For another, computer technology especially booming AI in every respect of life requires education to be put on the right track. Otherwise, students produced from the old factory must be washed away by the modern innovative tide. )【听力原文】Text 1 M: Excuse me. Where would I find medicine for dogs? W: We have some on aisle five. If you need a wider selection, however, I would suggest goingto see an animal doctor.Text 2 W: What is that sound? I can hear something coming from the back of the car. Can you hearit? M: Yeah, I can. Pull over by this gas station up ahead. I think I know what the problem is. Ineed new tires, anyway.Text 3 W: Do you think he could help me change the water in the fish tank this week? M: I don’t know. He’s pretty busy. Text 4W: Excuse me. Can I have change for a dollar, please? M: Sorry, but I can only give you change if you buy something. W: But I only have a dollar on me, and all I need is four quarters. M: Sorry, but I don’t make the rules. Text 5 M: I am looking for someone who has taken care of elderly people before. Do you have anyexperience? W: I’m sorry. My experience is with small children. I’m afraid I will not be suitable for thejob. Text 6 M: Hi, what can I do for you? W: I’d like to send this package to France. Can it be delivered in the next five days? M: Yes. We offer an overnight service. It’ll cost 70 dollars. W: Ah, that’s a bit expensive. Do you have a three-day service? M: No, but we can get your package to France in one week for 40 dollars. W: Well, that sounds good. I’ll take that. Is the service guaranteed? M: Yes. We also offer a service where we can track your package. But that will cost 10 dollarsextra.

M: I am sorry to hear that. What seems to be the trouble? W: My head has been hurting a lot lately. I never used to feel like this. M: When does it hurt the most? W: Usually, I feel fine. It only hurts when I am in class. My head starts hurting when I try tocopy notes from the board. I tried sitting near the back of the room, but it doesn’t help. Infact, it gets worse! M: Well, it sounds like you might need glasses. You should get your eyes checked. It shouldnot take too long. W: Thank you, doctor. I appreciate your help. Text 8 W: OK, that’s a cut! Let’s start from the beginning, everyone. M: What was the problem that time? W: The feeling was all wrong, Mike. She is telling you that she doesn’t want to see youanymore, but I want to get more anger from you. You’re acting hurt and sad, but that’s nothow your character would act in this situation. M: But Jason and Laura have been toge ther for three years. Don’t you think his reactionwould be one of both anger and sadness? W: At this point, no. I think he would react the way most guys would, and then later on, wewould see his real feelings.M: I’m not so sure about that. W: Let’s try it my way, and you can see how you feel when you’re saying your lines. Afterthat, if it still doesn’t feel right, we can try something else. Text 9 W: Hi, there! Did you have any questions about our bikes? M: Yeah. Do you work on bicycles in addition to selling them? W: Oh, yes, we can handle any repairs you may need. M: That’s great, but what I need is not exactly a repair. My cousin gave me a road bike, butI’m not tall enough to ride it. Can you put smaller wheels on it? W: We could do that, but I wouldn’t recommend it, because you would have to use your legsmore to go the same distance. You’d be better off buying a bike that’s the right size foryou.M: I was afraid you’d say that. You see, my cousin’s bike is a very expensive model. It’s areally nice bike. W: Have you considered trading the bike in? We do buy and sell used bikes, and I can giveyou a fair price for any trade-in.M: Really? That would be great! How much can you give me for the bike? W: If it’s in good shape, probably at least 50% of its origin al value. M: Terrific! If you’re here tomorrow, I’ll bring it in then. W: OK. Text 10 Welcome to the Lego Toy Factory. We started making the toy here in 1949. Here is adisplay of Windsor Castle, in England. This is the Empire State Building in the United States,made up of 10,000 pieces. You can see similar displays in stores around the world. You arestanding in the original factory where Lego was born, right here in Denmark. The first thingyou will notice is that they are made entirely by machines. There are about 1,000 in total. Thebricks start out as tiny pieces of plastic in these 14 different colored tubes. Then the plastic ismelted at 200 degrees. Next, we cool them and shape them into different sizes. This processtakes about 10 seconds. We make about 200 million pieces every hour and 15 billion per year. This is Roger, the creative mind behind all our Lego sets and creations. He is one of only tenpeople that work at the factory every day. This includes those who repair the machines andour cleaning staff. The only other people here are the thousands of little yellow men andwoman we make every hour. Amazing, isn’t it?。

Now they might finally know why. And that bit of information might be the clue they need to develop a vaccine(疫苗)for asthma(哮喘)and better treatment strategies for allergies.A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine compared 30 Amish children and 30Hutterite children from two farming groups in NorthDakota. Researchers chose these children because asthma is rare among the Amish but common among the Hutterites, even though the groups have similar genetic backgrounds and diets and very little exposure to tobacco smoke, polluted air and indoor pets. The one key difference lies in their farming methods: The Amish reject electricity and industrialization, while the Hutterites embrace it. And because of this, the children are exposed to different microbes(微生物)."We never thought we would see a difference," Carole Ober, an author of the study and the chairwoman of the department of human genetics at the University of Chicago, told the New York Times. But to their great surprise, "we saw great differences with very, very different cell types and cell numbers."The Amish children all had a large proportion of neutrophils-white blood cells that are part of the so-called inborn immune system. The Amish kids' neutrophils "were newly found in their bone marrow, evidence of a continual low-grade reaction to microbial invaders(入侵者)," the New York Times reports. In contrast, the Hutterite kids had "old" neutrophils, and researchers found their blood was fullof another type of immune cell, eosinophils, which provoke allergic reactions."I keep saying if everyone would just put a cow in their house, no kid would have asthma, but that's not very practical," Ober told Live Science. Instead,Ober predicts an air mister parents could use to spray the beneficial microbes into the air.(1)What can we know about the Hutterite group according to Paragraph 2?A. The air is heavily polluted due to industrialization.B. They have a fatter chance to catch asthma and allergies.C. Their family members are addicted to cigarette smoking.D. Modern machines are widely used instead of farm animals.(2)Which of the following can be added to the differences between the two groups?A. genetic background B. immune system C. health careD. educational level(3)By jokingly suggesting having a cow in their house, Ober intends to tell us that .A. keeping a toy cow is more practicalB. we should get exposed to indoor petsC. unhealthy living styles should be avoidedD. farm environment helps fight Asthma and Allergies29.(★★★) As e-cigarettes become more popular,fewer people are taking up smoking traditional cigarettes. But can e-cigarettes,an electronic nicotine delivery system, help people quit smoking altogether? The answer is probably yes. A study led by Matthew Carpenter, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina found that e-smokers tend to smoke less and have increased quit attempts.In the pilot study, Carpenter evaluated e-cigarettes in terms of usage,product preference, changes in smoking behaviors and nicotine exposure. Ninety subjects were evaluated: 45 were randomized to use e-cigarettes, and 45 were randomized to a control group. Everyone was followed over a period of four months. The study was published in Cancer Epidemiology in November and is one of the few randomized studies in the U.S. to examine the effects of e-cigarettes.Results showed that when smokers were given e-cigarettes, uptake wasstrong. Many participants rated the e-cigarettes similar to their usual product,suggesting that e-cigarettes might give smokers a suitable alternative to combustible(燃烧的) cigarettes. E-cigarettes offer significantly less exposureto harmful toxicants and therefore are safer. People using e-cigarettes throughout the study smoked an average of 37 percent fewer cigarettes, as compared to thosein the control group, showing a positive effect when making the switch and potentially serving as a tool to help smokers quit.That's good news for Carpenter and his colleagues. Smoking is the leadingcause of cancer and has a negative impact on the effectiveness of cancer treatments. People who quit smoking, regardless of their ages, have substantial gains in life expectancy(预期寿命) compared with those who continue to smoke.Carpenter cautions that while e-cigarettes may help people smoke less or even quit,they are not for everyone. "It is important to protect non-smokers, particularly adolescents, from starting any nicotine-containing product."More than 1,500 varieties of e-cigarettes are now available, including different looks, high-tech power settings and many flavors. All these make them more appealing to kids. In fact, e-cigarettes are more popular than conventional cigarettes among youth. "All these should raise our alarm bells," he said.E-cigarettes were only recently regulated by the Food and DrugAdministration. Largely manufactured overseas, the quality control process varies,he says. Without enough information to answer the long-term public health issuesof e-cigarettes, researchers like Carpenter are aware of the importance of further studies on the latest tobacco trends. Combustible cigarettes have been around for many decades. E-cigarettes have not, and the science has a lot of questions leftto answer, he said.(1)Which of the following is TRUE about Professor Carpenter's experiment on e-cigarettes?A. The test groups include conventional smokers, e-smokers and non-smokers.B. E-cigarettes expose smokers to fewer poisonous substances.C. Many participants don't think e-cigarettes as good as traditional ones.D. It is one of the few studies to test the effects of smoking.(2)After reading the passage, we may infer that .A. most e-cigarette smokers will finally give up smokingB. there are more e-smokers than traditional smokes in the USAC. many adolescents are attracted to e-cigarettes due to their low pricesD. carpenter is worried about the e-cigarettes' popularity among children(3)What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A. E-cigarettes are faced with many problems and need more study.B. The U.S. government should strengthen its regulation over e-cigarettes.C. Smokers should be cautious because of e-cigarettes' low quality.D. Researchers are concerned about e-cigarettes' harm to people's health.(4)What is the structure of the passage?(①to ⑦represent Paragraphs 1 to 7)30.(★★★)Useless jugglers(骗子)! Must we so describe ourselves, we, the producers, season by season, of so many hundreds of "remarkable" works of fiction?- for, when we take up the remarkable works of our fellows, we "really cannotread them!".A story goes like this:Once in the twilight undergrowth of a forest of nut-bearing trees a number of little purblind creatures wandered, singing for nuts. A traveler one day stopped one of these creatures whose voice was peculiarly disagreeable, and asked "Why do you sing like this? Is it for the sake of those up there? Is it for your ownsake-for the sake of your family-for whose sake? Do you think your songs worth listening to? Answer!"The creature scratched itself, and sang the louder.1.__________He left the creature, and presently came to another which wandered round in a ring under some stunted trees, and the traveler noticed that it never went out of that ring.Showers of tiny hard nuts came down on the little creature, who ate them greedily. The traveler opened one; it was extremely small and tasted of dry rot. "Why, at all events," he said, "need you stay under these trees? The nuts are not good here."But for answer the little creature ran round and round, and round and round. 2.__________He came to a third little creature who, under a tall tree, was singing very loudly indeed. The creature stopped singing as the traveler came up, and at once a storm of huge nuts came down; the traveler found them sweetish and very oily."Why," he said to the creature, "did you sing so loud? You cannot eat all these nuts. You really do sing louder than seems necessary; come, answer me!"But the purblind little creature began to sing again at the top of its voice. 3.__________The traveler passed many other purblind little creatures in the twilight ofthis forest, till at last he came to one that looked even blinder than the rest,but whose song was sweet and low and clear, breaking a perfect stillness. For a long time he listened to that song without noticing that not a nut wasfalling. But suddenly he heard a faint rustle and three little oval nuts lay on the ground.The traveler cracked one of them. It was of delicate flavor. He looked at the little creature standing with its face raised, and said:" [Tell me, little blind creature, whose song is so charming, is thisall you get to eat? ]"Ah! " wondered the traveler again: "You, whose voice is so clear, where did you learn to sing?"The little blind creature smiled…4.__________It is a twilight forest in which we wander, and we may complain why the light is so dim; why there is so much bad and false fiction; why the demand for it is so great. We must lay the blame on ourselves. We ourselves create the demand for bad and false fiction. Sensibly, or insensibly, we tune our songs to earn the nuts of our twilight forest. We tune them, not to the key of: "Is it good?" but to the key of: "Will it pay?" so that at each tuning the nuts fall fast! For many of us, once started on this journey of fiction, there is much, often tragic,excuse-the less reason then for not having trained ourselves before setting out on our way. If we will not put ourselves to school when we are young; if we must rush into print before we can spell; if we will not repress our natural desires and walk before we run; if we will not learn at least what not to do-we shall go on wandering through the forest, singing our foolish songs.(1)From Paragraph 1, we can know that the author is a .A. juggler B. traveler C. publisher D. fictionist(2)Which of the following do you think is the right image in the story?A. The traveler refers to the aimless publishers.B. The twilight represents the bad taste of readers.C. The nuts stand for remarkable works of fiction.D. The purblind creatures mean different novelists.(3)The sentence " ‘I suppose,' said the traveler,‘small bad nuts are betterthan no bread; if you went out you would starve?' '' is probably put inblank .A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4(4)How do you understand the underlined sentence?A. A good novel usually takes great efforts to create.B. Books are the source of inspiration for a novelist.C. Some novelists are excellent but poorly rewarded.D. Readers have few choices in choosing good books.(5)What does the last paragraph imply?A. The demand for bad fiction is great.B. The author often produces false books.C. Some of "us" are not qualified for the job.D. Tragically, "we" can not solve the problem.(6)Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Wanted improvementB. Foolish songs C. A disordered market D. A wise traveler第四部分:任务型阅读(满分10分)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.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.31.(★★★★)The human voice is the instrument we all play. It's the most powerful sound in the world. It's the only one that can start a war or say "I love you." And yet many people have the experience that when they speak, people don't listen to them. Why is that? How can we speak powerfully to make change in the world?There are a number of habits that we need to move away from. The first is gossip, speaking ill of somebody who's not present. The second is judging. It's very hard to listen to somebody if you know that you're being judged and found wanting at the same time. Another is negativity. It's hard to listen when somebody's that negative. And another form of negativity is complaining. We complain about almost everything. It's not spreading sunshine and lightness in the world. The next is excuse. Some people just pass it on to everybody else anddon't take responsibility for their actions. Exaggeration is the sixth of the seven, which usually becomes lying. We don't want to listen to people we know are lying to us. The last is dogmatism, the confusion of facts with opinions.There are four really powerful cornerstones that we can stand on if we want our speech to be powerful and to make change in the world. Fortunately, these thingsspell a word "hail". The H stands for honesty, being true in what you say, being straight and clear. However, absolute honesty may not be what we want. It's not necessary to say "my goodness, you look ugly this morning." The A is authenticity,just being ourselves. The I is integrity(一致), doing what we say. And the L is love. It doesn't mean romantic love, but means wishing people well. That's what we say.The way that we say it is also important. The instrument is incredible and the tools you play with will increase the power of our speaking. The first is register (音域). We can locate our voice. We vote for politicians with lower voices,it's true, because we associate depth with power and with authority. Timbre(音色), the way our voice feels, also matters. Some research shows that we prefer voices which are rich, smooth, warm, like hot chocolate. Then prosody(韵律)counts. People who speak all on one note are really quite hard to listen to ifthey don't have any prosody at all. Another is pace. We can get very excited by saying something really quickly, or we can slow right down to emphasize. There's nothing wrong with a bit of silence in a talk. It can be very powerful. Finally,we can get really excited by using volume. We can have people really pay attention by getting very quiet. If that's not us, that's not the end of the world,because we can train. Go and get a voice coach.Of course, where this all comes into play most of all is when we've got something really important to do. It might be proposing marriage or asking for a raise. No engine works well without being warmed up. Warm up our voice.第五部分书面表达(满分25分)32.(★★★)请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章.Computers in the classroom include any digital technology used to enhance,supplement, or replace a traditional educational curriculum. The early 1990s marked the beginning of modern media technology such as CD-ROMs as well as the development of modern presentation software such as MicrosoftPowerpoint. Currently, other computer-based technology including the electronic whiteboard and the laptop computer is becoming widely available to students.As computers have become more accessible, inexpensive, and powerful, the demand for this technology has increased, leading to more frequent use of computer resources within classes. Thus, there are some innovation and technology enthusiasts who claim that computer-based learning will soon replaceteachers. They point out that the accessibility of information via the Internet and the recent advances in online instruction and adaptive learning will contribute to the retreat of teachers. These claims are alarming to those who advocate the importance of teachers. They point to a strong body of research that affirms the importance of good teachers.【写作内容】1.用约30个单词概述上面短文的主要内容;2.举例说明计算机在课堂上的作用.3.你认为计算机能否替代教师?请给出至少两种理由.【写作要求】1.写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句;2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称;3.不必写标题.【评分标准】内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当.。

The bridge is unique for still having shops built along it, as was common in the days of the Medici. Butchers originally occupied souvenir sellers. It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his goods was physically broken by soldiers, and this practice was called “bancorotto (broken table)”.Golden Gate BridgeThe Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the strait between San Francisco and Marin County to the north. It is the masterwork of architect Joseph B. Strauss, whose statue graces the southern observation deck. The bridge took seven years to build, and was completed in 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge used to be the longest suspension bridge span in the world. And today it has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in San Francisco and California. Since its completion, the span length has been surpassed by eight other bridges. The famous red-orange color of the bridge was specifically chosen to make the bridge more easily visible through the thick frog that frequently covers the bridge.Millau BridgeStarted in 1998 and opened to traffic in 2005, the Millau Viaduct is a huge cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. It is the tallest highway bridge in the world, with the highest pylon's summit at 343 meters—slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower. The speed limit on the bridge was reduced from 130 km/h to 110 km/h because of traffic slowing down, due to tourists taking pictures of the bridge from the vehicles. Shortly after the bridge opened to traffic, passengers were stopping to admire the landscape and the bridge itself.Charles BridgeThe Charles Bridge is a famous stone Gothic bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the support of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava, theCharles Bridge was the most important connection between the Old Town and the area around Prague Castle. Connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. Today it is one of the most visited sights in Prague with painters, owners of kiosks and other traders alongside numerous tourists crossing the bridge.()51. Of the four bridges, which one has the shortest history?A. Ponte Vecchio.B. Golden Gate Bridge.C. Millau Bridge.D. Charles Bridge.()52. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Golden Gate Bridge?A. The span length ranks the 8th in the world.B. Its color enables travelers to see it easily on foggy days.C. It is the most popular tourist attraction in America.D. It took Joseph B. Strauss 7 years to design the bridge.()53. The Charles Bridge played an important role in Prague, Czech Republic because ________.A. it attracted many famous painters thereB. it was supported by Kin Charles IVC. it was the only stone Gothic bridge crossing the Vltava RiverD. it promoted the trade between Eastern and Western EuropeBTELECOMMUTERS fall into two camps. Some sit on the sofa watching daytime soaps, pausing occasionally to check their BlackBerrys. Most, however, do real work, undistracted by meetings and talkative colleagues.In the future more people will work from home. With office space in London and New York so costly, many firms save money by encouraging staff to work in their loose clothes. Instead of having to bury their noses in strangers' armpits on crowded trains, they can work via e-mail, Skype and virtual private networks.Yet, in a research published in MIT Sloan Management Review, Daniel Cable of the London Business School shows that telecommuters are less likely to be promoted. In one experiment subjects were asked to judge scenarios in which the only difference was whether the employee was at his office desk or at home. Managers rated those at the office to be more dependable and industrious, regardless of the quality of their work.Visibility creates the illusion of value. Being the last to leave the office impresses bosses, even if you are actually larking around(胡闹) on Facebook. Oddly, this holds true at firms that explicitly encourage staff to work from home. Many Californian tech firms asked employees not to come to the office too often; yet bosses unconsciously punished those who obeyed.Remote workers understand this. Many frequently sent their bosses with progress reports to prove they are on the job. A fifth of the workers in the study admitted to leaving an e-mail or voice mail early or late in the day. Still, many are not as smart as they think. Some choose a Monday or Friday to work at home. That, says Mr. Cable, makes others think they are eager to extend the weekend.A culture of presenteeism hurts working mothers most. Many women (and some men) work from home to allow themselves the flexibility to pick up kids from school. That need not mean they produce less; only that they do it at a time and a place of their own choosing. Some firms, such as Best Buy, an electronics retailer, recognize this and try hard to evaluate staff entirely on performance. But this is not easy. Intangibles such as teamworking skills matter, too. Mr. Cable thinks homeworking will lose its stigma(污名) only when most people do it. Or perhaps when the boss is telecommuting, too.()54. What is most likely the main cause of the increasing number of telecommuters?A. Increasing location rents.B. Annoying talkative colleagues.C. High-tech mobile phones.D. Attractive daytime soaps.()55. What does the example of many California tech firms prove?A. Working at home is impractical in tech firms.B. Employees' presence at office raises their value.C. Employees should judge when to obey.D. Bosses often don't keep their promises.()56. What do wise telecommuters do to prove they are on the job?A. They give timely accounts of their work progress to their bosses.B. They check their e-mails and voice mails every day.C. They discuss the work with their bosses.D. They spend some time working on weekends.()57. What is the biggest disadvantage of working at home according to the lastparagraph?A. The traditional working culture can be hurt.B. Mothers' work may be interrupted by their kids.C. Retailers can't get enough on-site employees.D. Employees may lack chances to develop certain skills.CAlzheimer's disease has no cure. There are, however, five drugs—known and approved—that can slow down the development of its symptoms. The earlier such drugs are administered, the better. Unfortunately, the disease is usually first noticed when people complain to their doctors of memory problems. That is normally too late for the drugs to do much good. A simple and reliable test for Alzheimer's that can be administered to everybody over the age of about 65, before memory-loss sets in, would therefore be useful.Theo Luider, of the Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam, and his colleagues think they have found one—but it works only in women. They made their discovery, just reported in the Journal of Proteome Research, by tapping into a long-term, continuing study that started in 1995 with 1,077 non-demented and otherwise healthy people aged between 60 and 90. At the beginning of the project, and subsequently during the periods 1997-99 and 2002-04, participants were brought in for a battery of neurological(神经学的) and cognitive(认知的) investigations, physical examinations, brain imaging and blood tests.During the first ten years of the study, 43 of the volunteers developed Alzheimer's diseases. When Dr. Luider compared blood samples from these people with samples from 43 of their fellow volunteers, matched for sex and age, who had remained Alzheimer's-free, he found something surprising. Levels of a substance called pregnancy zone protein had been unusually high, even before their symptoms appeared, in some of those who went on to develop Alzheimer's disease.Those “some”,it turned out, were all women. On average, levels of pregnancy zone protein in those women who went on to develop Alzheimer's were almost 60% higher than those of women who did not. In men, levels of the protein were the same for both.The reason for this curious result seems to be that the brain plaques(斑块) associated with Alzheimer's disease are themselves turning out pregnancy zone protein. Certainly, when Dr. Luider applied a chemical stain specific to that protein to the plaques of dead Alzheimer's patientshe found the protein present in them.Confusingly, though, it was there in the plaques of both sexes. Presumably, female cells (and therefore the plaques of female brains) make more of it than male cells do. But that remains to be proved. Whatever the reason, however, this result means that women, at least, may soon be able to tell whether and when they are at risk of Alzheimer's and thus do something about it before they start losing their minds.()58. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. No medication can slow down the development of Alzheimer's symptoms.B. To detect Alzheimer's disease before memory loss appears is vital.C. Doctors had better handle Alzheimer's disease when people are 65 years old.D. People who always complain are most likely to have Alzheimer's disease.()59. The underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.A. a simple and reliable test for Alizheimer'sB. a possible cure for Alzheimer'sC. an important discovery about Alzheimer'sD. an effective and legal drug for Alzheimer's()60. What does Dr. Luider's study tell us about the pregnancy zone protein?A. It won't go high until the symptoms of Alzheimer's appear.B. In men, levels of it remain stable for their lifetime.C. Women developing Alzheimer's usually have lower levels of it.D. The brain plaques connected with Alzheimer's produce it.()61. The passage is mainly about ________.A. patients of Alzheimer's disease and its drugsB. an introduction to the pregnancy zone proteinC. a new discovery concerning Alzheimer's diseaseD. the development stages of Alzheimer's diseaseDHe was in the first third-grade class I taught at Saint Mary's School in Morris, Minnesota. All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million. Very neat in appearance, he had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional mischievousness delightful.Mark also talked continuously. I had to remind him again and again that talking withoutpermission was not acceptable. One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then I made a novice-teacher's mistake. I looked at Mark and said, “If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut!”It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck blurted out, “Mark is talking again.”I hadn't asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark's desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth. I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me. That did it! I started laughing. The entire class cheered as I walked back to Mark's desk, removed the tape, and shrugged my shoulders. His first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”At the end of the year I was asked to teach junior-high math. The years flew by, and before I knew it Mark was in my classroom again. He was more handsome than ever and just as polite.One Friday, things just didn't feel right. We had worked hard on a new concept all week, and I sensed that the students were growing discouraged with themselves—and edgy with one another.I had to change the mood of the class before it got out of hand. So I asked them to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday I gave each student his or her list. Some of them ran two pages. Before long, the entire class was smiling. “Really?” I heard whispers. “I never knew that meant anything to anyone!”“I didn't know others liked me so much!”No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. I never knew if the students discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another again.That group of students moved on. Several years later, after I returned from a vacation, I got a call from my father. “The Eklunds called last night,”he began. “Really?”I said. “I haven'theard from them for several years. I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly. “Mark was killed in Vietnam,”Mark looked so handsome, so mature. All I could think at that moment was, Mark, I would give all the masking tape in the world if only you could talk to me.After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates headed to Chuck's farmhouse for lunch. Mark's parents were there, obviously waiting for me. “Helen, we want to show you something,”his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. “They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it.”Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. “Thank you so much for doing that,”Mark's mother said. “As you can see, Mark treasured it.”Mark's classmates started to gather around us. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, “I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home.”Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocket-book, took out her wallet and showed her worn and ragged list to the group. “I carry this with me at all times,”Vicki said without hesitation. “I think we all saved our lists.”That's when I finally sat down and cried. I cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.()62. We can conclude that when Sister Helen was a third-grade teacher, she ________.A. was usually hot-tempered and impatientB. liked all the students in the class but MarkC. wasn't always sure how to discipline her studentsD. had a high expectation of the students in her class()63. The underlined word “edgy” in Paragraph 7 means “________”.A. very disappointedB. easily annoyedC. fully honestD. greatly inspired()64. Upon reading their lists for the first time, Sister Helen's students were ________.A. surprised and proudB. nervous and embarrassedC. depressed and angryD. calm and content()65. Mark carried the notebook paper at all times because ________.A. it was a valuable gift from his dear Sister HelenB. it could ease his homesickness when in VietnamC. it was the recognition and appreciation from his classmatesD. he promised his classmates that he would treasure it第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共40分)第四部分:词汇检测(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)请认真阅读下列各小题,并根据上下文语境和所给首字母的提示,写出下列各句空格中的单词,注意保持语义和形式的一致.66. —Whatever b________ we are having on our shoulders, let them down for a moment, shall we?—All right.

We feel it when we either blame ourselves for things that turned out badly, or long to undo a choice we made in the past. The effect regret has on our lives and how we deal with regret are equally important.In some cases, regret can be disastrous. In 1995, a British man who regularly played one set of lottery numbers forgot to renew his ticket during the week that his numbers came up. He was so filled with regret and self-blame that he committed suicide. While this is an extreme consequence of regret, it can have many other lesser effects on the mind and body that can still seriously affect our lives.According to recent research, women have more regrets about romantic relationships than men do—not surprising, since women “value social relationships more than men”.

reason ﹣or the conventional wisdom holds so.A new study published in Science,though,suggests our capacity to reason logically may not actually depend on language,at least not fully.The findings show babies still too young to speak can reason and make reasonable deductions.The authors﹣a team from several European institutions﹣studied infants (婴儿)aged 12 and 19 months,when language learning and speech production hasjust begun but before complex mastery has been achieved.The children had to inspect distinct objects repeatedly﹣such as a dinosaur and a flower.The items were initially hidden behind a black wall.In one set of experiments the animation (动漫)would show a cup scooping (舀出)up the dinosaur.Half of the time,the barrier would then be removed to reveal,as expected,the remaining flower.In the rest of the instances,though,the wall would disappear and a second dinosaur would be there.The children deduced in these latter occurrences that something was not quite right,even though they were unable to express in words what was wrong.Eye﹣tracking﹣a commonly used technique to judge mental abilities in preverbal (语前的)children and apes﹣showed infants stared significantly longer at scenes where the unexpected object appeared behind the barrier,suggesting they were confused by the reveal."Our results indicate that the acquisition of logical vocabulary might not be the source of the most fundamental logical building blocks in the mind," says lead study author Nicoló Cesana﹣Arlotti.A major component of human logic,he notes,relates to thinking about alternative possibilities and eliminating inconsistent ones:Does the dinosaur sit behind the barrier or does the flower?In a formal logic this is called a disjunctive syllogism (析取三段论):A or B;not if A,therefore B.Cesana﹣Arlotti acknowledges his findings do not deny the importance of language and symbolic communication to human brain development,and to our evolutionary backstory.Yet the new research suggests that perhaps it is not entirely necessary to shape the brain's logical reasoning capacities.He plans further work studying how logic before the development of language might still differ from reasoning abilities that appear once language comes along,as language may open additional reasoning abilities unavailable to the speechless brain."To our knowledge,nobody has ever directly documented logical reasoning in 12﹣month﹣old infants before," he adds.(1)We can learn from the new study published in Science that.A.the ability to reason logically is unique to humansB.babies are too young to make reasonable deductionsC.language is not a requirement for some basic reasoningD.the new findings correspond with the conventional ideas(2)The researchers draw the conclusion from the fact that.A.the infants were aware of illogical outcomesB.the infants inspected distinct objects over and againC.the infants were very sensitive to the removal of the barrierD.the infants showed interest in the appearance of the dinosaur(3)The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 3 probably means "".A.resisting B.removing C.expanding D.exploring(4)According to the text,what will Cesana﹣Arlotti study further?A.The mental development of babies.B.The initial state of logic in the mind.C.Distinctions between verbal and preverbal logic.D.Additional reasoning abilities of the speechless brain.29.(6分)People love spreading information and sharing opinions.You can see this online:every day,4million new blogs are written,80 million new photos are uploaded and 616 million new tweets are released into cyberspace.We experience a burst of pleasure when we share our thoughts,and this drives us to communicate.It is a useful feature of our brain,because it ensures that knowledge,experience and ideas do not get buried with the person who first had them,and that as a society we benefit from the products of many minds.Of course,in order for that to happen,merely sharing is not enough.We need to cause a reaction.Each time we share our opinions and knowledge,it is with the intention of having an impact on others.Here's the problem,though:we approach this task from inside our own heads.But if we want to have an impact on others,we need to understand what goes on inside their head.What determines whether you affect the way others think and behave or are ignored?You may assume that numbers and statistics are what you need to change their point of view.Well,experiments have pointed to the reality that people are not driven by facts.They are not enough to alter beliefs,and they are practicallyuseless for motivating action.Consider climate change:there are mountains of data indicating that humans play a role in warming the globe,yet approximately 50% of the world's population doesn't believe it.What about health?Hundreds of studies show that exercise is good for you and people believe this to be so,yet this knowledge fails miserably at getting many to step on a treadmill (跑步机).The problem with an approach that prioritizes information is that it ignores the core of what makes us human:our motives,our fears,our hopes,our desires,our prior beliefs.In fact,the tsunami of information we are receiving today can make us even less sensitive to data because we've become accustomed to finding support for absolutely anything we want to believe with a simple click of the mouse.Instead,our need for agency,our craving to be right,and a longing to feel part of a group really count.It is those motivations we need to tap into to make a change,whether within ourselves or in others.(1)People love spreading information and sharing opinions because.A.they often think their thoughts are superior to others'B.they can provide a lasting pleasure of communicationC.they want to affect the behaviours and beliefs of othersD.they are able to understand others' inner world better(2)The examples of climate change and health indicate that.A.data and logical thinking aren't bound to change mindsB.numbers and statistics are persuasive enough to othersC.people's deeds and minds don't agree with each otherD.people are fed up with huge amounts of data and studies(3)What does the writer stress in the passage?A.Behaviors determine our beliefs.B.Our desires shape what we believe.C.We shouldn't force our ideas on others.D.Too much information serves no purpose.30.(12分)April 2018,ManchesterMy dearest daughter,As I looked across at you sitting on the sofa watching The X Factor,I noticed that you are no longer a child,and that having just celebrated your 14th birthday,you are now a young woman starting a journey into becoming an adult woman.As I looked at you,I remembered myself at 14,and the vastly different places we are beginning this journey from.Your identity as a mixed﹣race young woman,with an English father and a Pakistani mother,has already influenced how you place yourself in this world.As yet,you are unaware of the personal struggles that I took at the age of 25 to marry.How it felt when my mother refused to come to my wedding.The sharp criticisms of the Asian community that such marriages do not work out and always end in divorce.The confidence I had to grow,as we chose to live in a multicultural community,as I refused to be shamed into living in the leafier white suburbs.Then,at the age of 30,I became your mum with all the joys and struggles this brought,as I refused the Asian traditions for a new baby's arrival.From your birth,your life could not have been more different from mine.I was brought up on a council estate,within a tight﹣knit extended Muslim family,through which poverty,racism and neglect were woven.I was never given the freedoms or the opportunity to experience new things.Now,as I hear you play your piano,I am grateful that you have these opportunities.So many doors were closed to me as a young person,and as I fought for small steps of freedom,I soon learned that it was better to do what I wanted without the knowledge of my parents,and so deceit and deception (欺骗)became woven into my life too.The pressures to obey,to be a "good Muslim" girl and keep the family honour,were choking.Behind closed doors at home,the neglect and abuse took place.It was hidden,I felt the shame,lived with the fear and suffered alongside my sister and two younger brothers.Oh,the power we thought our parents had over us! I was convinced that one day my father would indeed beat us so hard that leaving us for dead,he would,as his threats said he would,bury us in the large back garden,and tell the school he had taken us back to Pakistan for good.My sister and I longed for a different blue sky to live under.As a daughter of immigrant parents,I carried their hopes of a better educationfor their children ﹣my own veins (血管)pulsing with the hard﹣work ethic (道德)and need to be grateful for the opportunity of a free education.And it was education that provided me with the strength to find my own blue sky.I fought to leave home to go to university at the age of 18,and never returned to live with my parents again.Now as you explore your mixed﹣race heritage,which I hope we have supported you to do with visits to Pakistan and ensuring you go to multi﹣cultural schools,I want you to take the very best of all that is Asian with you as you become a woman.The struggles of identity and belonging will come but I hope that we have given you a strong foundation from which to explore these struggles.All the opportunities and freedoms that I only dreamed of as a young woman,I have offered you.I have chosen a different path of loving you as my daughter,with an unconditional love that many consider "western".I want you to know that although your journey has been vastly different,I am excited as I watch you standing on the threshold (门槛)of becoming a woman for all the adventures and possibilities the future holds for you.May you fly your blue sky with grace,confidence and hope as you find your place in this beautiful and crazy world.Loving you now and always.Mommy (1)Mommy's mother refused to attend her wedding party because.A.she married against the wishes of her familyB.she was believed to fall victim to her marriageC.she would leave the family to settle in the white suburbsD.she would bring shame to the multicultural community(2)By "your life could not have been more different from mine",Mommy means.A.her childhood was no different from her daughter'sB.her parents treated her the way she does her daughterC.her daughter experienced the same traditions at birth with herD.her daughter can enjoy the opportunities which she didn't(3)What can be inferred from Mommy's Muslim family life?A.She suffered much abuse in the family.B.She fought against her Muslim identity.C.She was forced to drop out of school.D.She behaved like a good Muslim girl.(4)Mommy sends her daughter to multi﹣cultural schools because.A.they provide more opportunities and freedomsB.her daughter can develop a sense of belongingC.her daughter can explore the best of Asian heritageD.they offer children a westernized way of education(5)Which of the following can best describe Mommy?A.Outgoing,tolerant and realistic.B.Determined,liberal and optimistic.C.Conservative,tricky and aggressive.D.Independent,arbitrary and ambitious(6)Mommy writes the letter to.A.reveal the sufferings she had as a teenage girlB.criticize the social prejudice in her communityC.emphasize the importance of family supportD.encourage her daughter to pursue her dream第四部分任务型阅读(满分10分)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.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.31.(10分)We all have complaints about going to work.It's expected:work takes up the majority of our waking day and it very much defines us.We often use our jobs as an introduction and a window into our lives when we meet someone﹣a job reflects who we are.It influences the clothes we wear,the holidays we take,where we live and how we feel about ourselves.Of course,it takes up sizeable amounts of time,focus and energy.We complain about getting on that rush﹣hour train or the way the boss speaks;we laugh about the pain of Monday mornings and the thrill of annual leave.But for many people,work has ceased to be simply a source of complaints or a joke.But haven't there always been tough roles,heavy workloads and overtime?Why has this work﹣related illness arisen now?From the research that has been carried out on this subject,workload is consistently cited (引用)as the most common reason for this ill health.But as our jobs are not going to change any time soon,it's time to change ourselves.Mental﹣health experts often talk about resilience:the ability to cope,survive and bounce back from difficulties.Some is inborn,but resilience can be built and fostered (培养)﹣and certainly so in one's working life.We know that resilience at work is partly fostered by supportive relationships.So it is important to nurture healthy interpersonal relationships at work,whether that is through the support of a good manager or through friendship with work colleagues.Any supportive relationship you invest in at work will improve your stress levels.Resilience can also be fostered by taking control.That is not easy in the face of a demanding boss or terrible workloads,so you might need to look for it elsewhere.Being able to take control in other areas of your life also leads to empowerment and grows your confidence.Control or change your journey to work,what you have for lunch or even who you sit with in the canteen.Small changes may seem trivial (微不足道的),but they are super effective.Psychologists talk about micro﹣actions and these are incredibly powerful in the face of stress﹣changing controllable aspects of your life so that those repeated small successes foster self﹣esteem,confidence and ultimately more success in the bigger areas of your life.It is also crucial not to let everything become about work.Look for micro﹣successes elsewhere,in your hobbies,your exercise goals and your life plan.Our work appears to be making more and more of us unwell.But we all have the ability to make ourselves better.第五部分书面表达(满分25分)请认真阅读下面有关中学生自信心现状调查的柱状图及相关文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章.32.(25分)Self﹣confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations.People who are not self﹣confident depend excessively on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves.They tend to avoid taking risks because they

Which of the following monitors is under warranty?A. The monitor that was bought six years ago.B. The monitor that goes wrong due to false use.C. The monitor whose purchase proof is missing.D. The monitor whose system broke down when first used.BAlthough the Samoan(萨摩亚) Natives have long claimed to be the indigenous(本土的) people of their islands, holding firm to the belief that Samoans were birthed by special creation in Samoa, it has been theorized by many linguists, based on linguistic commonalities as well as archaeological findings, that migrants from Southeast Asia arrived in the Samoan Islands approximately 3500 years ago, settling in what has come to be known as “Polynesia“further to the east.Early contact with Europeans was established in the 18th century. Christianity was formally introduced with the arrival of missionaries(传教士) in August 1830. During the early 20th century the Samoan Islands were divided by Germany, Great Britain and the USA. Tutuila and Aunu'u islands were claimed by the USA. The western islands became German Samoa. In 1914, New Zealand forces captured the islands from Germany, thus becoming Western Samoa. Western Samoa regained its independence on January 1, 1962.Samoans are notable in rugby. Despite its small population, the island of American Samoa produces disproportionately a large number of world-class American football players. Samoan Mosi Tatupu was a member of NFL team(全国橄榄球联盟) the New England Patriots. Samoan Troy Polamalu was a member of the NFL team the Pittsburgh Steelers until he retired after the 2014 football season.Traditional Samoan tattoo(纹身) proves the strong ties many Samoans feel for their culture. Samoans have practiced the art of tattooing for over 2,000 years. To this day, a man's tattoo widely covers from mid-back, down the sides, to the knees. A woman's tattoo is not quite aswide or heavy. The geometric patterns are based on ancient designs, and often indicate rank and status.Here is the process of tattooing. The tattoo master dips his cutting tools into black ink made from burnt shells, and then punctures designs into the skin. The cutting tool consists of a short piece of bamboo or light wood with a piece of tortoiseshell bound at right angles at one end. A little bone comb is bound to the lower broad end of the tortoiseshell. The larger the comb, the greater the area on the skin is covered with fewer strokes. The process takes days, and is sometimes partially accomplished over longer periods, with recovery in between.()58. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.A. Missionaries firstly introduced Christianity into Samoa in August of 1830B. Tutuila and Aunu'u islands have ever been claimed by Great Britain in 1920C. Eastern and western Samoa regained its independence in January of 1962D. Samoa has a history of being occupied by at least four developed countries()59. The author introduced the sport item “rugby” in Samoa with a tone of ________.A. dignityB. doubtC. respectD. sadness()60. When talking about their culture, Samoan natives most probably agree that ________.A. a woman's tattoo is quite heavy and not wideB. a man's tattoo covers from mid-chest to kneesC. Tattoo-receiving recovers slowly but necessarilyD. Tattoo patterns always indicate rank and genderCNEW cars that can control and brake themselves risk quieting people in the driver's seat into a false sense of security —and even to sleep.That was one surprising finding when researchers put Stanford University students in a simulated(模拟的) self-driving car to study how they reacted when their robo-chauffer needed help. The experiment was one in a growing number that assesses how cars can safely hand control back to a person when their self-driving software is at a loss.With some models already able to stay in their lane or keep a safe distance from other traffic, and automakers pushing for more automation, the car-to-driver handoff is a big open question.The elimination(消除) of distracted driving is a major selling point for the technology. But in the Stanford experiment, reading or watching a movie helped keep participants awake. The Stanford research suggests engaging people with media could help, while some automakers are marketing vehicles with limited self-driving features that will slow the car if they detect a person has stopped paying attention to the road. Though research is ongoing, it appears that people need at least 5 seconds to take over.Meanwhile, traditional automakers are advancing with the technology. Mercedes and Toyota sell cars that can hit the brakes and stay in their lane. By adding new features each year, they might produce a truly self-driving car in about a decade. One potential risk of this gradualist approach became clear this fall, when Tesla Mo tors had to explain that its “auto pilot” feature did not mean drivers could stop paying attention. Starting late next year, the Cadillac CTS will get a Super Cruise system, which will allow semi-autonomous highway driving. If the driver's eyes are off the road, and they don't respond to repeated urging, the car slows.“We are in no way selling this as a technology where the driver can check out,”General Motors spokesman Dan Flores said, “You can relax, glance away, but you still have to be aware because you know the technology's not safe.”One riddle automakers must solve: How to get owners to trust the technology so they'll use it — but not trust it so much that they'll fall into a false sense of security. Trust was on the mind of researchers who in August published an extensive report on self-driving cars. “Although this trust is essential for widespread adoption, participants were also observed prioritizing non-driving activities over the operation of the vehicle,”the authors wrote. Another wide-open question: How to alert the person in the driver's seat of the need to take over. It appears that the car should appeal to several senses. Visual warnings alone may not be enough.()61. In the experiment, one disadvantage of the self-driving car is that in the drivers' seats people ________.A. have a sense of security because of new technologyB. can't react immediately when they need helpC. are often distracted while driving the carD. like to read and watch a movie to keep awake()62. What does the underlined word “handoff” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. changeB. controlC. pullD. push()63. From the passage, we can conclude that ________.A. the automakers are proud of the new cars for their technologyB. there are problems to solve in getting owners to trust the technologyC. automakers have already marketed cars with limited self-driving technologyD. traditional automakers rather than present ones are advancing with the technology()64. The author's purpose of writing the passage is to ________.A. remind the readers of risks in the self-driving carB. advertise and market the new self-driving carC. get more participants to experiment in the self-driving carD. introduce the advanced technology in the self-driving carDGone with the Wind is a novel written by Margaret Mitchell, first published in 1936. It was popular with American readers from the onset and was the top American fiction bestseller in the year it was published and in 1937 on the row. As of 2014, a Harris poll found it to be the second favorite book of American readers, just behind the Bible. More than 30 million copies have been printed worldwide. The sales of Margaret Mitchell's novel in the summer of 1936, at the virtually unprecedented price of three dollars, reached about one million by the end of December. Because it was released in the era of the Great Depression and Mitchell worried the high $3.00 price would ruin its chance for success. Actually the book was a bestseller by the time reviews began to appear in national magazines.Herschel Brickell, a critic for the New York Evening Post, praised Mitchell for the way she “tosses out the window all the thousands of technical tricks our novelists have been playing with for the past twenty years”.One criticism by literary scholar Patricia Yaeger, leveled at Gone with the Wind, is for its portrayal of African Americans in the 19th century South. Former_field_hands during the early days of Reconstruction are described behaving “as creatures of small intelligence might naturally be expected to do. Like monkeys or small children turned loose among treasured objects whose value is beyond their comprehension, they ran wild—either from wrong pleasure in destruction or simply because of their ignorance.”In Gone with the Wind Mitchell is blind to racial oppressionand “the inseparability of race and gender”that defines the southern belle character of Scarlett, according to Patricia Yaeger.Yet there are complexities in the way that Mitchell dealt with racial issues. Scarlett was asked by a Yankee woman for advice on who to appoint as a nurse for her children; Scarlett suggested a “darky”,much to the disgust of the Yankee woman who was seeking an Irish maid, a “Bridget”. African Americans and Irish Americans are treated “in precisely the same way”in Gone with the Wind, writes David O'Connell in his 1996 book, The Irish Roots of Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. Ethnic slurs(种族蔑称) on the Irish and Irish stereotypes spread in every part of the novel, O'Connell claims, and Scarlett is not an exception to the insults. And apparently in the novel, the Irish American O'Haras were slaveholders whereas African Americans were held as slaves.Speaking on the subject of whether Gone with the Wind should be taught in schools, James Loewen, author of Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong,says the novel should be taught in schools. Students should be told that Gone with the Wind presents the wrong view of slavery, Loewen states. Besides, the main complaint was that the racial slur “nigger”appears repeatedly in the novel. In the same complaint were several other books: The Nigger of the “Narcissus”,Uncle Tom's Cabin, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Another criticism of the novel is that it promotes plantation values. Mitchell biographer Marianne Walker, author of Margaret Mitchell & John Marsh: The Love Story Behind Gone with the Wind, is of the opinion that those who believe Gone with the Wind promotes plantation values have not read the book. Walker states it is the popular 1939 film that “promotes a false notion of the Old South”. She goes on to add that Mitchell had no involvement in the production of the film. Perhaps the most enduring legacy(遗产) of Gone with the Wind is that people worldwide would incorrectly think it was the true story of the Old South and how it was changed by the American Civil War and Reconstruction. The film version of the novel “amplified this effect”. Scholars of the period have written in recent years about the negative effects the novel has had on race relations.()65. When Gone with the Wind was published, ________.A. it became the top bestseller all of the timeB. reading was more popular than anything else thenC. the price of the book was too high for people thenD. American people were suffering financial problems()66. In Paragraph 3, the underlined part “Former field hands”refers to ________.A. peasants in the early timeB. African-American peopleC. creatures of small intelligenceD. people in Reconstruction()67. David O'Connell's view is different from Patricia Yaeger's in ________.A. Mitchell's Ethnic slurs in the novelB. Mitchell's description of slave laborersC. Mitchell's attitude towards the Irish peopleD. Mitchell's ways of dealing with racial problems()68. According to Paragraph 5, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. James Loewen sings high praise for American history textbooks.B. Uncle Tom's Cabin also shows some racial discrimination.C. The repeated appearance of the racial slur “n igger” is only a trick.D. Gone with the Wind should be taught because it shows slavery is wrong.()69. What can we infer as to the film Gone with the Wind?A. It has nothing to do with the novel.B. It promotes a false concept of plantation.C. It reflects the true story of the Old South.D. It is not so faithful to the novel.()70. Among the four persons, who doesn't give positive comments on Gone with the Wind?A. Herschel Brickell.B. David O'Connell.C. Patricia Yaeger.D. Marianne Walker.第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共35分)第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文,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.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.Is E-Mail Dead?With the rise of rapid-fire messaging, the digital letter seems to be crawling toward the fate of snail mail. If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands,you might have a hard time believing the news: e-mail is on the decline. The total volume of e-mail has dropped about 10 percent since 2010.The word “e-mail” itself tells you about its origins: it was modeled on written letters. To this day, a lot of e-mail begins with a salutat ion. Maybe it's “Hey” instead of “Dear Casey”,but it's there. And because there was so much overhead involved with sending a letter—folding, enveloping, addressing, stamping, mailing—few bothered to send only a few words. The effort seemed to justify a longer message. Once viewed as the death of the personal human touch, e-mail has now taken over the letter's place as a form of new communication—both business and personal. But is its day in the digital sun coming to a close?Today's instant electronic memos—such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages—are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They get rid of the salutation; we already know the “to” and “from”. Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise. And less time.This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily consumed message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era.Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Was it just a transitional technology—from postal mail to the new, rapid-fire communication channels?Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. Whereas tweets and texts feel transient—you read them, then they're gone, into an endless string—e-mail still feels like something you have, that you can file, search and return to later. It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.So in a word, no, e-mail won't go away completely. Remember, we've been through a transition like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works. Postal mail found its place, and so will e-mail. Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues.Is E-Mail Dead?The origins of e-mailCurrentsituations第五部分:书面表达(满分25分)阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的短文.【写作内容】1. 用约30个单词概述上述图文信息的主要内容.2. 列举1至2个中外文化差异的事例.3. 谈谈我们该如何正确对待文化差异的问题(不少于两点).【写作要求】 1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句.2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称.3. 不必写标题.【评分标准】内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当.听力1~5 BACAC 6~10 ACBAC11~15 BBABC 16~20 ACBAB单项填空21.B 解析:考查代词.one代替名词a small town.第一句句意:我在考虑到一个小镇去旅游,尤其想到一个能看到海景的小镇.22.D 解析:考查形容词比较级.句意:尽管David有时候与父母相处不好,甚至有时候他还会和他们争吵,但是他的父母对他的爱没有减少.no less意为“不少;较多”,符合句意.23.A 解析:考查定语从句.whose引导定语从句,且whose作定语,修饰owners.因此选A.句意:那个两层楼已经变成茶馆了,它以前的主人中有很多是著名的演员.24.C 解析:考查名词.A项意为“良心;良知”;B项意为“标准”;C项意为“共识”;D 项意为“合同”.句意:经常调查了一些证人,最后得到一个共识,即那是一次事故.根据句意可知C项正确.25.D 解析:考查非谓语动词.根据句意可知,perform与其逻辑主语them之间为动宾关系,要选被动意义的选项,而本题四个选项中只有D项为被动意义,其他三项皆为主动意义,故选 D.句意:在家的电视上看足球比赛是一回事,看现场直播又是另外一回事.being performed为现在分词的被动式,作宾语补足语.26.A 解析:考查介词短语.A项意为“优先于”;B C项意为“参照”;D项意为“搜查;寻找”.根据题意可知选A.句意:人们到国外旅行时,优先使用微信交流而不用国际长途电话.27.D 解析:考查动词时态.在“It's time that...”这个句式中,从句的谓语动词要用现在完成时;由此可以排除A、B两项;这句话的主语China为单数名词,故选D项排除C项.28.D 解析:考查强调句.这是一个强调句,被强调部分是句子宾语the hotel.29.B 解析:考查倒装句.这是一个倒装句:让步状语从句中,表语“poor and backward are”被提到了前面,构成了倒装句.正常语序是:Although Western China is poor andbackward area, many college....30.A 解析:考查倒装句.根据语法规则,表示方位的介词短语置于句首时,要用全部倒装句,而本题中的介词短语Among the biggest problems facing those remote mountainous villages正是表示方位的,所以要用全部倒装,且主语为单数名词the lack,故选A项.31.D 解析:考查动词短语.A项意为“推迟”;B项意为“停止(做)某事,戒掉;戒除”;C项意为“让……下车(下船)”;D项意为“(使)开始”.根据句意可知,D项正确.句意:教育专家的话开始(揭开)了新的一轮从父母那里咨询有关家庭教育问题的(热潮).32.B 解析:考查非谓语动词.分析句式结构可知,由于缺少连词,因此不能选择谓语动词,由此可以排除C、D两项;另外,release与agreement之间为动宾关系,故要用过去分词,即B项正确.这是一个独立主格结构.33.D 解析:考查虚拟语气.句意:如果年轻时候相信自己不善于写作,我现在就不可能从事自己的写作事业了.根据句意可知,这是一个错综条件句,即主句是表示现在,从句表示过去发生的事情.故D项正确.34.B 解析:考查动词.fetch在这里表示“售得”,符合语境,即表示意大利有经验的乐师制作的小提琴可以售得很多钱.35.A 解析:考查交际用语.A项意为“看到不祥之兆”;B项意为“我非常冷静”;C项意为“可靠的信息来源”;D项意为“很难取悦于所有人”.根据语境可知,A项正确,句意:——如果你不改进自己的工作,你会被解雇的.——我知道,因为我能看到不祥之兆.完形填空【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文.文章讲述了一个很坚强的孩子的故事.这个孩子和他爷爷在地下室玩耍时,被一条狗咬伤了,而且伤得很严重.但是她在医院里却去安慰她很紧张的父母.告诉他们马上一切都会好起来的.作者用这个故事告诉读者,身处逆境、遇到挫折时必须要保持积极乐观的态度.36.D 解析:考查名词.personality意为“个性;人格”,符合题意.句意:我可能会丢了(正常的)脸(根据下文可知,他脸被毁容了),但是我不能失去人格.37.C 解析:考查名词.根据后半句中的“accident”以及下文介绍他受伤的经过可知,C 项正确,即在急诊室里.38.A 解析:考查名词.根据下文51小题后面的“basement”可知,选A项.句意:他们当时在地下室闲逛.39.B 解析:考查名词.take a flying move at即一条狗飞快地冲向Gracie.40.C 解析:考查非谓语动词.sunk是sink的过去分词,意为“陷入”,符合语境,即牙齿咬进了Gracie的脸上的肉里.Teeth sunk into Gracie's face为独立主格结构.41.B 解析:考查动词.contain在这里意为“遏制;控制”,符合语境.句意:即狗的主人过来控制住了它.42.D 解析:考查形容词.A项意为“厌恶的”;B项意为“坚定的;毅然的”;C项意为“立即的;即食的”;D项意为“犹豫的”.根据后半句“but agreed because Atticus was well mannered and patient with children”可知,D项正确,即开始时Kaighn对收容那条狗在他家是表示犹豫的,但是后来发现那条狗脾气很好.43.D 解析:考查连词.与破折号前面句子连起来便是“Atticus was well mannered and patient with children until suddenly he wasn't.”句意:这条狗一直表现很好,对待孩子也很有耐心,直到(until)咬人这件事发生之前都是这样.44.A 解析:考查形容词.根据上下文内容可知,那个孩子虽然被咬得很严重,但是她却很勇敢,反而安慰她父母不要担心.因此选A.brave(勇敢)45.B 解析:考查动词.根据上下文内容可知,孩子看到父母很焦虑的样子,她去安慰他们不要担心,一切都会好起来的.故选fort(安慰).46.D 解析:考查连词.由“the wounds to her face 47 missed her eye and herear.”可推知,前后句子为转折关系,故选D.47.C 解析:考查副词.narrowly意为“勉强地”,与后面的missed连起来“narrowlymissed”意为“勉强错过”,即伤口刚刚好错过眼睛,没把眼睛咬伤.48.B 解析:考查动词短语.B项意为“极度悲伤”,符合语境,即孩子的老师听到这个孩子被咬伤的消息后,难过了几天.A项意为“崩溃”;C项意为“混合”;D项意为“推上去;提高”.49.D 解析:考查名词.老师说的话的大意是,这是一个随遇而安、善良的女孩,她是班级涵养的象征(symbol).故D项正确.A项意为“信号”;B项意为“雕塑”;C项意为“迹象”.50.A 解析:考查动词.Touch在这里的意思是“触动;打动”,符合语境.句意:她的坚强不仅触动了老师,同样触动了很多其他人.。

What kind of a hotel makes kids forget about Disney World?Check In: As I was signing the necessary paperwork at the front desk, my kids were taken away by Wayne, the receptionist, to a large interactive map of the resort in the entrance hall. Wayne used the touch screen to show the kids the entire resort and talked about all of the fun things to do, like the kid's club, the waterslides, and the game room. I've never seen so much attention paid to the kids at check-in — such a cool touch.The Room: Not only were there kid-sized robes in the room, there were play things, NatGeo Kids magazines, chocolate lollypops, and milk chilling in the refrigerator. Plus, the room was designed from a family perspective. The sinks and shower settings were easily reachable, and the king bed and very comfortable sofa pull-out could easily fit a family of four, if not five. Wehad plenty of room.The Pools: There's a large shallow infinity pool. There's a meandering lazy river. There's a water park. There's an area for pool volleyball and basketball. And there are two very fun waterslides. We spent many hours roaming among them all, and just hanging out in a private teepee-shaped cabana next to the waterslides. So fun!No Surcharges: There's no resort fee. If you want to use one of the cool cabanas around the pools, it's included. For the kids club, you can use it as much or as little as you want to and the Hideout game room has a lot of activities, like pinball, at no cost. We took advantage of pretty much everything around the hotel except for the spa, and our final bill only showed our room charges, taxes, and meals. And if my kids were still under five, their meals would have been free.()56. The passage is written by the author mainly to ________.A. advertise a hotel at Walt Disney World ResortB. introduce the good service Walt Disney providesC. recall the experience that they once had in a hotelD. share information about a hotel near Disney World()57. Customers don't need to pay for ________ when they stay in the hotel.A. cool cabanasB. roomsC. the spaD. taxes()58. What can we learn from the passage?A. The hotel isn't an ideal choice for a family of more than four.B. The two kids of the author should have been over five years old.C. The author spent hours playing pool volleyball and basketball.D. The receptionist showed children around Disney World Resort.BMore than 100 million people in Nigeria are not connected to the Internet. There are only a few networks that offer service and it is costly and undependable. Now, a new project provides a resource for offline viewing at no cost.A non-profit organization called The WiderNet Project has developed the offline eGranary Digital Library. The service puts millions of digital documents, multimedia work and websites onto a server. The information is then available to students, medical workers, and researchers at no cost, whether there is Internet or not.Users can access informative websites that eGranary updates every day such as Wikipedia, Khan Academy, Project Gutenberg, MIT OpenCourseWare, and MIT BLOSSOMS (which is Math and Science video lessons for high school students). Other resources on the service include university and medical publications, computer software, and educational games.Ahmadu Bello University, the largest university in Nigeria and the second largest in Africa, uses eGranary's digital educational resources. Kasa Mathias, head of the school's database department, says students can access tens of thousands of educational materials without much problem.“We give them background information on the available databases that they can use for their research work, their assignments, especially projects, and sometimes we will carry them through sensitizing(激活) on new databases that are available for them.”Ibitoye Idowu, a first-year student of archeology, says easy access to university reading material, documents and journals has greatly helped his studying process, and that in some cases, he understands the digital materials better than class lectures.Students now have great reading material, but only when there is electric power. It often fails. Student Ibitoye Idowu says those moments are difficult.Muhammed Mu'azu who leads the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department says the university has spent a large amount of money on access to information, which is available for 40,000 students and teachers.“With or without Internet access students and staff have most of these educational database and university has also invested a lot in Internet access so even for online materials they are readily available for staff and students anywhere you are in the university campus.”There are fears that students may waste time on social media networks like Facebook and Twitter instead of spending it on school work. Professor Mu'azu says the university needs to be careful about placing restrictions on usage. But he says it will investigate what a user is accessing if a large amount of bandwidth is used.Muhammed Mu'azu compares the speed of the offline service to access over the Internet. The eGranary server can download hundreds of pages in less than 15 minutes. In the past, a 10-page document would take hours to download.WiderNet says it aims to expand to thousands more education and health centers around theworld.()59. The eGranary Digital Library is mainly intended for ________.A. poor people in NigeriaB. Ahmadu Bello UniversityC. teachers and staff of a universityD. people who can't access the Internet()60. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ________.A. educational materialsB. available databasesC. assignments and projectsD. university students()61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Offline eGranary Digital Library is available to over 100 million people in Nigeria now.B. A university needs to pay for the service of eGranary Digital Library to offer it to students.C. The power supply becomes the main challenge students face when using offline project.D. Education and health centers in the world will all use eGranary's digital educational resources.CScientists have known for decades that having measles(麻疹) suppresses kids' immune systems for several weeks or months, leaving them ill-equipped to fight off pneumonia, bronchitis and other infections.Now a team of researchers has suggested that the measles virus may also leave a longer-lasting sort of “immune-amnesia” that makes it harder for people to stave_off other illnesses for two years or more.That re-emphasizes the importance of vaccination(疫苗), said biologist Michael Mina, lead author of a paper that was published in the journal Science.“There may be a long-lasting impact that you can't undo if your child gets measles,”he said. “I hope this study can impress upon people the danger measles poses.”The researchers used what Mina called “an unconventional approach”to search for the long -lasting immune system effects. Previous work in monkeys suggested that monkeys with the disease lost white blood cells their bodies had trained to fight off other illnesses, leaving them more likely to be infected.To test if a similar thing may occur in humans, the group mined historical data to find out the relationship between measles incidence(发病率) and deaths from other infectious diseases.They turned to data from England and Wales —developed nations where disease levels are generally low, allowing a less-confused view of measles' effects. Studying measles incidence and deaths from infectious disease both before and after the introduction of the measles vaccine in the U.K. in the 1960s, Mina and the team saw a sort of shadow effect, where deaths from a variety of non-measles infectious diseases closely tracked measles incidence. The more measles in a population, the more deaths from other illnesses in the 28-month period that followed.“Really it didn't matter what age group, what decade or what country,”said Mina. “They all showed consistent results... what we're suggesting happens over the long term is that your immune system works fine, but it has forgotten what it previously learned.”Some researchers who were not involved in the work questioned whether the reductions in deaths as measles cases declined may have had more to do with improving nutrition and smaller family size than with prolonged immune suppression.Others thought the paper's opinion of years-long suppression was seemingly reasonable but said they could not comment on the mathematical models the group used.To know for certain what was behind the effect the group saw, Mina agreed, scientists would need to look at immune cells and observe their behavior. He said he would like to push the work in a more traditional direction: back into the laboratory.()62. Why did Mina call their research method “an unconventional approach”?A. Their research was based on the historical data.B. Their research compared monkeys with humans.C. They only paid attention to developed nations.D. They discovered a sort of shadow effect.()63. According to Mina, what is the significance of their research?A. They warned people that measles can result in other infectious diseases.B. They carried out the research on measles in an unconventional approach.C. They showed how dangerous measles is and the importance of vaccination.D. They found out the disease levels are generally low in developed nations.()64. The u nderlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.A. keep awayB. survive fromC. search forD. turn down()65. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A. Measles Has Been the Origin of Other Diseases and DeathsB. New Research Conducted Into Measles Has Been Widely QuestionedC. Study Points to Years-Long Immune System Misfortunes From MeaslesD. Damage Caused by Measles to the Immune System Could Last Several WeeksDSvetlana Alexandrovna Alexievich, born on 31 May 1948, is a Belarusian investigative journalist and non-fiction prose writer, writing in Russian. She was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time”. She is the first writer from Belarus to receive the award.Alexievich grew up in Belarus. After finishing school she worked as a reporter in several local newspapers before graduating from Belarusian State University and becoming a journalist for the literary magazine Neman in Minsk.She went on to a career in journalism and writing narratives from interviews with witnesses to the most dramatic events in the country, such as World War Ⅱ,the Soviet-Afghan War, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the Chernobyl disaster. After political persecution(迫害) by the Lukashenko administration, she left Belarus in 2000. The International Cities of Refuge Network offered her shelter and during the following decade she lived in Paris, Gothenburg and Berlin. In 2011, Alexievich moved back to Minsk.According to Russian writer and critic Dmitry Bykov, her books owe much to the ideas of Belarusian writer Ales Adamovich, who felt that the best way to describe the horrors of the 20th century was not by creating fiction but through recording the evidence of witnesses. Belarusian poet Uladzimir Nyaklyayew called Adamovich “her literary godfather”. He also named the documentary novel I'm from the Burned Village by Ales Adamovich, Janka Bryl and Uladzimir Kalesnik, about the villages burned by the Nazi troops during the occupation of Belarus, as the main single book that has influenced Alexievich's attitude to literature. Alexievich admitted the influence of Adamovich and added, among others, Belarusian writer Vasil Bykaǔas another source of impact on her. Her most notable works in English translation include a collection of first -hand accounts from the war in Afghanistan(Zinky Boys: Soviet V oices from a Forgotten War) and a highly praised oral history of the Chernobyl disaster (V oices from Chernobyl).Alexievich describes the theme of her works this way: If you look back at the whole of our history, both Soviet and post-Soviet, it is a huge common grave and a blood bath. An eternal dialogue of the executioners and the victims. The accursed Russian questions: what is to be done and who is to blame. The revolution, the gulags, the Second World War, the Soviet-Afghan war hidden from the people, the downfall of the great empire, the downfall of the giant socialist land, the land-utopia, and now a challenge of cosmic dimensions —Chernobyl. This is a challenge for all the living things on earth. Such is our history. And this is the theme of my books, this is my path, my circles of hell, from man to man.Her first book, War's Unwomanly Face, came out in 1985. It was repeatedly reprinted and sold more than two million copies. The book was finished in 1983 and published (in short edition) in Oktyabr, a Soviet monthly literary magazine, in February 1984. In 1985, the book was published by several publishers, and the number of printed copies reached 2,000,000 in the next five years. This novel is made up of monologues(独白) of women in the war speaking about the aspects of World War Ⅱ that had never been related before. Another book, The Last Witnesses: the Book of Unchildlike Stories, describes personal memories of children during war time. The war seen through women's and children's eyes revealed a new world of feelings. In 1993, she published Enchanted with Death, a book about attempted and completed suicides due to the downfall of the Soviet Union. Many people felt inseparable from the Communist ideology and unable to accept the new order surely and the newly interpreted history.Her books were not published by Belarusian state-owned publishing houses after 1993, while private publishers in Belarus have only published two of her books: V oices from Chernobyl in 1999 and Second-hand Time in 2013, both translated into Belarusian.

The labour market has also broken the rules, as new research from the OECD, shows in its annual Employment Outlook.Young people always suffer in recessions. Employers stop hiring them; and they often get rid of new employees because they are easier to sack. But in previous periods, such as the recessions of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, older workers were also dismissed. This time is different. During the financial crisis in 2008, and since, they have done better than other age groups.The researchers focus on movements in “non-employment”as a share of the total population in three age groups between the final quarters of 2007 and 2012. This measure has the advantage of including not just unemployment, where people are looking for work, but also inactivity, where people are not seeking jobs. Whereas the average non-employment rate in the OECD has risen by four percentage points among young people and by one-and-a-half points among 25-to 54-year-olds, it has fallen by two points among the 55-64 age group.Why have older employees done so well? In some southern European countries they benefit from job protection not afforded to younger workers, but that did not really help them in past recessions. What has changed, says Stefano Scarpetta, head of the OECD's employment directorate, is that firms now bear the full costs of getting rid of older staff. In the past early-retirement schemes provided by governments (in the mistaken belief that these would help young people) made it cheaper to push grey-haired workers out of the door. These have largely stopped.Job losses among older workers have also been balanced by falls in inactivity, reflecting employment pressure that were already apparent before the crisis. Older workers are healthier than they used to be and work is less physically demanding. They are also more attractive to employers than former generations.Today's 55-to 64-year-olds are the advance group of the post-war baby-boomers who benefited from better education than their predecessors. Older workers now have a stronger motivation to stay in employment because of the impact of the crisis on wealth.Many will argue that older workers have done better at the expense of the young. That view is wrongheaded. First, it is a mistaken belief that a job gained for one person is a job lost for another; there is no fixed “lump of labour”. And second, as the report shows; young and old people are by and large not substitutes in the workplace. They do different types of work in different types of occupation: younger people are attracted to IT firms, for example, whereas older folk tend to be employed in more traditional industries. There are plenty of things that should be done to help the young jobless, but shunting older workers out of the workplace is not one of them.。

It is specifically designed to protectpeople who got infected measles(麻疹) from spreading the virus to others. Like the flu, measles spreads through the air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. There is typically a time, about two weeks, between becoming infected with the virus and the beginning of symptoms like skin rash(皮疹), runny nose, heavy cough and high fever.“This therapy application determines the desired characteristics of the drug, which areorally available, cost-effective manufacture and high stability,”Richard Klemperer, professorof Georgia State University, told reporters last Wednesday.“With these criteria in mind, we have developed a small drug that blocks the measles virusover the past years, which is essential for copy of the virus.”The researchers tested the drug in rats infected with canine distemper virus(犬瘟病), which isa close relative of measles virus. They found that all of the infected rats treated with the drug仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度survived the deadly infection, showed no clinical signs of disease and developed a strongprotective immune response.The drug could be used to treat friends, family and other social contacts of a person infectedwith measles virus, which have not developed symptoms yet but are at risk of having caught thedisease, Klemperer said truthfully.“The emergence of strong antiviral immunity(抗病毒免疫力) in treated animals isparticularly encouraging, since it suggests that the drug may not only save an infected individual from disease but contribute to closing measles immunity gaps in a population,”Klemperer said. The researchers emphasized the drug is not intended as a substitute for vaccination, but as an additional weapon to get rid of the measles. They planned to test the drug's safety in larger animals, before moving into clinical trials in humans.“If our next series of studies confirms that the human situation mirrors what we have seen in rats, then this drug may make a major contribution to getting rid of measles by preventing local outbreaks”Klemperer said.Despite the existence of an effective vaccine, annual measles deaths worldwide haveremained constant at around 150,000 since 2007. The reasons for this are the highly infectious nature of the virus, in the developing world largely due to issues of resources, and in many developed countries in particular in the European region due to parental concerns regarding vaccination safety.()58. If a boy got infected by measles virus, he might NOT show the symptom like________.A. runny noseB. bad coughC. high feverD. sick stomach()59.

But humanitarianism(人道主义) will not guide policy for long. We liberals need to argue from Europe's self-interest: our continent has the need, the space and the ability to accept people.Many European countries are gradually turning into old people's homes. Germany, Italy,Spain and others have some of the lowest birth rates in human history. It is predicted that about one-third of their populations will be aged over 65 in 2050. Germany needs to import at least 350,000 people a year to keep its workforce stable. Suddenly, young ambitious workers are pouring into the country as if called by a genie(精灵) with a lamp. No wonder Angela Merkel, German Chancellor, has been more welcoming than David Cameron, British Prime Minister. But all over Europe, carers for old people are already in need. Norway found oil under the seabed but it would have been better off if it had discovered 50,000 nurses there instead.Many rightwingers think we have reached our limits. This feeling is widespread. And it'strue that Western Europe is one of the most densely populated regions on earth. Indeed, density has long been Europe's unique selling point: with so many people of different nations closely packed together, we have always traded goods and exchanged ideas fast. That's why the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries happened here.But we have plenty more room. Many European cities aren't dense enough. Now east Germany, north-western Spain and gorgeous mountain villages in Italy are losing people. Lots of cities have unused industrial land.Humans inhabit a slice of the EU's territory. Only about 2.5 per cent of the EU's land is usedfor housing, estimates the European Commission. By contrast, a whopping 43 per cent was used for agriculture in 2009, it says. That's too much. We could turn more land into forest or into green landscapes where people can relax and play. Making that transition is feasible because we now use agricultural land inefficiently.Migrants often spend years locked up together in serious government-funded “migrant centers”. However, the way to learn a new country's language, make friends and find work is to live with a local. This crisis has shown that lots of Europeans are willing to take refugees into their homes.

Here are some of the fundamental attitudes and beliefs that contribute to their happiness and success:________________ ________________◆①仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度This is one of the most commonly recited mottos in self-improvement. Individuals who seetheir mistakes and failures as a learning experience are much more prone to happiness and success.When we adopt the belief that “failure is a part of learning,”we become more resilientand courageous in the face of new challenges.Instead of avoiding situations where we may embarrass ourselves, we embrace thesechallenges in life, even when we know they can be risky and painful. When we do fail, we don'tsee it as the end of the world, but a point to improve upon.◆________________②________________Many people are great at finding problems and being critical about their lives; however, theydo this without ever suggesting a possible solution or alternative to their situation.They complain about this and that, but they never take an active role to actually improvethese things. They focus on problems not to learn from them or fix them, but to make excuses for why their lives are miserable and unpleasant.I believe acknowledging problems in life is important. I don't recommend that we ignorethings in our life that disturb us or make us unhappy. However, it's also important to think of wayswe can actually respond to these problems and change our circumstances.Ruminating over problems in our life without a plan to take action is not only a waste of time,but it makes us even more sad and depressed. If you're going to be critical about something inyour life, focus on the ways you can actually make a difference.◆________________③________________Happy and successful people are incredibly grateful for their lives and everything they have:their relationships, their home, their job, their possessions, their talents, their achievements, etc. Although successful people are often thought of as always hungry and striving—alwaystrying to improve things, achieve their goals, and make things better—this inner drive doesn't take away from the fact they are very happy and content with their lives.Gratitude is an irreplaceable characteristic of true happiness and success. Even if we achievegreat things in life, without gratitude we often find ourselves empty and discontent. Make sure you take the time to reflect on how lucky you are as a person (I believe everyone can find something tobe grateful for).仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度◆________________④________________Happy and successful individuals know that we can learn a lot from other happy andsuccessful individuals.

Study them. Ask them questions. Have them show you their technique and share their stories.The more willing you are to learn from others, the more successful you will be.

Iasked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb:Know your business. Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position. In most cases,the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time. Thus, you must keep working to stay on top of what's new and what's coming down the pipeline. This is what really counts, especially early in a professional career, as many entry level associates are content to be gainfully employed.Pick careers with care. Again, early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers themost money. In the case of a life-long career money cannot answer all things. If you are going tobe an entrepreneur then you'll probably start with a budget of zero. Yet, if you have the discipline, working for yourself could be the best choice you've ever made.仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework. If you find acompany that consists with your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in, thenyou'll have an easy time giving that organization your all.Be personable. If everyone hates to be around you at the office, it's time to check yourattitude. We've all heard at least one anecdote about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy.

About 2.3 billion people worldwide reported helping a stranger over the course of one month last year, and over 1.4 billion donated money to charitable causes in 2013.It may not be surprising that the United States, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, came on top as the most generous nation. What is astonishing is that the accolade(荣誉)was shared with Myanmar, a nation ranking 151 spots lower than the US on the GDP per capita scale. In fact, the report found that a nation's economic prosperity doesn't automatically translate to generosity. Only five of the countries in this year's World Giving Index Top 20 are members of the 仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度G20, a forum of the world's largest economies. Less wealthy places like Sri Lanka and Trinidad and Tobago featured in the top 10.Other factors, like following a religious philosophy or responding to a natural disaster, were found to be major drivers of donations. Myanmar earned its top place mainly due to the fact that nearly all of the respondents, 91%, donated money to charity, a practice which is rooted in the country's Theravada Buddhist community. Another high-ranking country with a large population of the followers of that religion is Sri Lanka, which ranked ninth in the Index.Malaysia's high jump in the ranking, from 71st place to 7th, was attributed to the outpouringof the humanitarian aid after the destructive Typhoon Haiyan hit the neighboring Philippines.In Africa, Kenya has moved 18 places up this year, ranking 15th in the global index. It's themost charitable country in the continent, ahead of larger economies like Nigeria, which is in the 21st place, and South Africa with ranks 34th.Africans are also three times more likely to extend a helping hand to strangers than donate money or volunteer, which seems to show that they are more likely to show their generosity through community support than formalized channels.From a global perspective, the report concludes that the diverse nature of the top giving countries signals that regardless of geography or culture, people universally appear to respond to those in need.()58. Which of the following is NOT the factor contributing to people's generosity?A. A nation's economic prosperity.B. A religious philosophy.C. The response to a natural disaster.D. The requirement of the government.()59. The author may agree with the following versions EXCEPT that ________.A. Kenya is the most charitable country in the continent of AfricaB. Africans tend to show their generosity through formalized channelsC. Malaysia ranked higher this year due to its abundant aid to PhilippinesD. many people in Myanmar and Sri Lanka share the same religious philosophy()60. Which of the following shows the correct order of the countries in the WorldGiving Index?A. Kenya—Tobago—Nigeria—Myanmar.B.

America took the lead in charitable givingB. people have more faith in humanity nowadaysC. most people are willing to lend a hand when necessaryD. some poor countries are more likely to show their generosityCBiologists believe that love is fundamentally a biological rather than a cultural construct,because the capacity for love is found in all human cultures and similar behaviour is found insome other animals. In humans the purpose of all the desire is to focus attention on the raising of offspring. Children demand an unusual amount of parenting, and two parents are better than one. Love is a signal that both partners are committed, and makes it more likely that this commitmentwill continue as long as necessary for children to reach independence. But what does science haveto say about the notion of love at first sight?In recent years the ability to watch the brain in action has offered a wealth of insight into the mechanics of love. Researchers have shown that when a person falls in love, a dozen differentparts of the brain work together to release chemicals that trigger feelings of euphoria, bonding and excitement. It has also been shown that the unconditional love between a mother and a child is associated with activity in different regions of the brain from those associated with pair-bonding love.Passionate love is rooted in the reward circuitry of the brain—the same area that is activewhen humans feel a rush from cocaine. In fact, the desire, motivations and withdrawals involvedin love have a great deal in common with addiction. Its most intense forms tend to be associatedwith the early stages of a relationship, which then give way to a calmer attachment form of loveone feels with a long-term partner.What all this means is that one special person can become chemically rewarding to the brainof another. Love at first sight, then, is only possible if the mechanism for generating long-term attachment can be triggered quickly. There are signs that it can be. One line of evidence is that people are able to decide within a second how attractive they find another person. This decision appears to be related to facial attractiveness, although men may favour women with waist-to-仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度hip ratio of 0.7, no matter what their overall weight is. (This ratio may indicate a woman's reproductive health)Another piece of evidence comes from work by a psychologist at Ben-Gurion University,who found in a survey that a small percentage (11%) of people in long-term relationships said that they began with love at first sight. In other words, in some couples the initial favorable impressions of attractiveness triggered love which sustained a lengthy bond. It is also clear that some couples need to form their bonds over a longer period, and popular culture tells many tales of friends who become lovers.One might also assume that if a person is looking for a partner with traits that cannot be quantified instantly, such as compassion, intellect or a good sense of humour, then it would be hard to form a relationship on the basis of love at first sight. Those more concerned with visual appearances, though, might find this easier. So it appears that love at first sight exists, but is not a very common basis for long-term relationships.()62. When a person falls in love, ________.A. he feels as if he were addicted to cocaineB. he will be committed to the beloved as long as necessaryC. he will experience complex feelings brought on by different regions of his brainD. he will experience a calmer attachment form of love before he feels the extreme love()63. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. pair-bonding love comes from a long stable friendshipB. the mechanism for creating long-term attachment ensures love at first sightC. it is impossible for those ordinary-looking people to fall in love at first sightD. men may be attracted by a girl whose figure suggests her admirable reproductive capacity()64. The underlined word “traits”in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. characteristics of your behaviourB. something typical in your temperC. particular qualities in your personalityD. attitudes that show your moral standards()65. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?A. The Stages of Passionate Love仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度B. The Science of Love at First SightC. The Biological Construct of Pair-Bonding LoveD. The Mechanism for Generating Long-Term LoveDErnest Hemingway was not only a commanding figure in 20th-century literature, but wasalso a_pack_rat. He saved even his old passports and used bullfight tickets, leaving behind one ofthe longest paper trails of any author.“Ernest Hemingway: Between Two Wars”,which opens on Friday at the Morgan Library& Museum, is the first major museum exhibition devoted to Hemingway and his work. The largest and most interesting section focuses on the '20s, Hemingway's Paris years, and reveals a writer we might have been in danger of forgetting:Hemingway_before_he_became_Hemingway.The exhibition does not fail to include pictures of the bearded, manly, Hem. He's shownposing with some kudu he has just shot in Africa and on the bridge of his beloved fishing boat, the Pilar, with Carlos Gutiérrez, the fisherman who became the model for “The Old Man and the Sea”. But the first photo the viewer sees is a big blowup of a handsome, clean-shaven, 19-year-old standing on crutches. This is from the summer of 1918, when Hemingway was recoveringfrom wounds at the Red Cross hospital in Milan and trying to turn his wartime experiences into fiction.The evidence at this exhibition suggests that, in the early days, he often wrote in pencil,mostly in cheap notebooks but sometimes on whatever paper came to hand. The first draft of theshort story “Soldier's Home”was written on sheets he appeared to have snatched from a telegraph office. The impression you get is of a young writer seized by inspiration and sometimes barreling ahead without an entirely clear sense of where he is going.F. Scott Fitzgerald (some of whose letters with Hemingway is also on view) famously urgedhim to cut the first two chapters of “The Sun Also Rises”,complaining about the “elephantine facetiousness”of the beginning, and Hemingway obliged, getting rid of a clunky opening thatnow seems almost “meta”. In 1929, in a nine-page penciled critique, Fitzgerald also suggested numerous revisions for “A Farewell to Arms”. Hemingway took some of these, but less graciously, and soon afterward his friendship with Fitzgerald came to an end.The papers at the Morgan show a Hemingway who is not always sure of himself. There are仔细审题、认真作答.试题习题、尽在百度running lists of stories he kept fiddling with, and there are lists and lists of possible titles,including the 45 he considered for “Farewell”and 47 different endings for the novel.In display case after display case, you see Hemingway during his Paris years inventing and reinventing himself, discovering as he goes along just what kind of writer he wants to be. In amoving 1925 letter to his parents, who refused to read “In Our Time”,his second story collection, he writes: “You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual lifeacross —not just to describe life —or criticize it —but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this withoutputting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful.”By the time the Second World War broke out, Hemingway had solidified into the iconicfigure we now remember: Papa. Even J. D. Salinger calls him this. And a blustery, cranky Hemingway appears in 1949 when aboard the Pilar he grabs an old fishing diary and begins scrawling an angry letter to Harold Ross, the editor of The New Yorker, complaining about Alfred Kazin's review of “Across the River and into the Trees”,not, in truth, a very good book.

The questionnaires asked how often the women felt happy, in control, relaxed and stressed, and also instructed them to rate their health and list ailments like high blood pressure, diabetes, depression or anxiety.When the answers were analyzed statistically, unhappiness and stress were not associatedwith an increased risk of death. It is not clear whether the conclusion applies to men.Professor Peto said particularly important data came from 500,000 women who reported thatthey were in good health, with no history of heart disease, cancer or stroke. A minority of these healthy women said they were stressed or unhappy, he said, but over the next decade they were no more likely to die than the women who were generally happy.“This finding refutes(驳斥)the large effects of unhappiness and stress on deathrate thatothers have claimed,”Dr. Peto said. Unhappiness itself may not affect health directly, but it cando harm in other ways, by driving people to suicide, alcoholism or other dangerous behaviors, he warned.This type of study, in which people involved depend on their self-assessments, is not仔细审题、认真作答.。

reason ﹣or the conventional wisdom holds so.A new study published in Science,though,suggests our capacity to reason logically may not actually depend on language,at least not fully.The findings show babies still too young to speak can reason and make reasonable deductions.The authors﹣a team from several European institutions﹣studied infants (婴儿)aged 12 and 19 months,when language learning and speech production has just begun but before complex mastery has been achieved.The children had to inspect distinct objects repeatedly﹣such as a dinosaur and a flower.The items were initially hidden behind a black wall.In one set of experiments the animation (动漫)would show a cup scooping (舀出)up the dinosaur.Half of the time,the barrier would then be removed to reveal,as expected,the remaining flower.In the rest of the instances,though,the wall would disappear and a second dinosaur would be there.The children deduced in these latter occurrences that something was not quite right,even though they were unable to express in words what was wrong.Eye﹣tracking﹣a commonly used technique to judge mental abilities in preverbal (语前的)children and apes﹣showed infants stared significantly longer at scenes where the unexpected object appeared behind the barrier,suggesting they were confused by the reveal."Our results indicate that the acquisition of logical vocabulary might not be the source of the most fundamental logical building blocks in the mind," says lead study author Nicoló Cesana﹣Arlotti.A major component of human logic,henotes,relates to thinking about alternative possibilities and eliminating inconsistent ones:Does the dinosaur sit behind the barrier or does the flower?In a formal logic this is called a disjunctive syllogism (析取三段论):A or B;not if A,therefore B.Cesana﹣Arlotti acknowledges his findings do not deny the importance of language and symbolic communication to human brain development,and to our evolutionary backstory.Yet the new research suggests that perhaps it is not entirely necessary to shape the brain's logical reasoning capacities.He plans further work studying how logic before the development of language might still differ from reasoning abilities that appear once language comes along,as language may open additional reasoning abilities unavailable to the speechless brain."To our knowledge,nobody has ever directly documented logical reasoning in 12﹣month﹣old infants before," he adds.(1)We can learn from the new study published in Science that.A.the ability to reason logically is unique to humansB.babies are too young to make reasonable deductionsC.language is not a requirement for some basic reasoningD.the new findings correspond with the conventional ideas(2)The researchers draw the conclusion from the fact that.A.the infants were aware of illogical outcomesB.the infants inspected distinct objects over and againC.the infants were very sensitive to the removal of the barrierD.the infants showed interest in the appearance of the dinosaur(3)The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 3 probably means "".A.resisting B.removing C.expanding D.exploring(4)According to the text,what will Cesana﹣Arlotti study further?A.The mental development of babies.B.The initial state of logic in the mind.C.Distinctions between verbal and preverbal logic.D.Additional reasoning abilities of the speechless brain.29.(6分)People love spreading information and sharing opinions.You can see this online:every day,4million new blogs are written,80 million new photos are uploaded and 616 million new tweets are released into cyberspace.We experience a burst of pleasure when we share our thoughts,and this drives us to communicate.It is a useful feature of our brain,because it ensures that knowledge,experience and ideas do not get buried with the person who first had them,and that as a society we benefit from the products of many minds.Of course,in order for that to happen,merely sharing is not enough.We need to cause a reaction.Each time we share our opinions and knowledge,it is with the intention of having an impact on others.Here's the problem,though:we approach this task from inside our own heads.But if we want to have an impact on others,we need to understand what goes on inside their head.What determines whether you affect the way others think and behave or are ignored?You may assume that numbers and statistics are what you need to change their point of view.Well,experiments have pointed to the reality that people are not driven by facts.They are not enough to alter beliefs,and they are practically useless for motivating action.Consider climate change:there are mountains of data indicating that humans play a role in warming the globe,yet approximately 50% of the world's population doesn't believe it.What about health?Hundreds of studies show that exercise is good for you and people believe this to be so,yet this knowledge fails miserably at getting many to step on a treadmill (跑步机).The problem with an approach that prioritizes information is that it ignores the core of what makes us human:our motives,our fears,our hopes,our desires,our prior beliefs.In fact,the tsunami of information we are receiving today can make us even less sensitive to data because we've become accustomed to finding support for absolutely anything we want to believe with a simple click of the mouse.Instead,our need for agency,our craving to be right,and a longing tofeel part of a group really count.It is those motivations we need to tap into to make a change,whether within ourselves or in others.(1)People love spreading information and sharing opinions because.A.they often think their thoughts are superior to others'B.they can provide a lasting pleasure of communicationC.they want to affect the behaviours and beliefs of othersD.they are able to understand others' inner world better(2)The examples of climate change and health indicate that.A.data and logical thinking aren't bound to change mindsB.numbers and statistics are persuasive enough to othersC.people's deeds and minds don't agree with each otherD.people are fed up with huge amounts of data and studies(3)What does the writer stress in the passage?A.Behaviors determine our beliefs.B.Our desires shape what we believe.C.We shouldn't force our ideas on others.D.Too much information serves no purpose.30.(12分)April 2018,ManchesterMy dearest daughter,As I looked across at you sitting on the sofa watching The X Factor,I noticed that you are no longer a child,and that having just celebrated your 14th birthday,you are now a young woman starting a journey into becoming an adult woman.As I looked at you,I remembered myself at 14,and the vastly different places we are beginning this journey from.Your identity as a mixed﹣race young woman,with an English father and a Pakistani mother,has already influenced how you place yourself in this world.As yet,you are unaware of the personal struggles that I took at the age of 25 to marry.How it felt when my mother refused to come to my wedding.The sharp criticisms of the Asian community that such marriages do not work out and alwaysend in divorce.The confidence I had to grow,as we chose to live in a multicultural community,as I refused to be shamed into living in the leafier white suburbs.Then,at the age of 30,I became your mum with all the joys and struggles this brought,as I refused the Asian traditions for a new baby's arrival.From your birth,your life could not have been more different from mine.I was brought up on a council estate,within a tight﹣knit extended Muslim family,through which poverty,racism and neglect were woven.I was never given the freedoms or the opportunity to experience new things.Now,as I hear you play your piano,I am grateful that you have these opportunities.So many doors were closed to me as a young person,and as I fought for small steps of freedom,I soon learned that it was better to do what I wanted without the knowledge of my parents,and so deceit and deception (欺骗)became woven into my life too.The pressures to obey,to be a "good Muslim" girl and keep the family honour,were choking.Behind closed doors at home,the neglect and abuse took place.It was hidden,I felt the shame,lived with the fear and suffered alongside my sister and two younger brothers.Oh,the power we thought our parents had over us! I was convinced that one day my father would indeed beat us so hard that leaving us for dead,he would,as his threats said he would,bury us in the large back garden,and tell the school he had taken us back to Pakistan for good.My sister and I longed for a different blue sky to live under.As a daughter of immigrant parents,I carried their hopes of a better education for their children ﹣my own veins (血管)pulsing with the hard﹣work ethic (道德)and need to be grateful for the opportunity of a free education.And it was education that provided me with the strength to find my own blue sky.I fought to leave home to go to university at the age of 18,and never returned to live with my parents again.Now as you explore your mixed﹣race heritage,which I hope we have supported you to do with visits to Pakistan and ensuring you go to multi﹣cultural schools,I want you to take the very best of all that is Asian with you as you becomea woman.The struggles of identity and belonging will come but I hope that we have given you a strong foundation from which to explore these struggles.All the opportunities and freedoms that I only dreamed of as a young woman,I have offered you.I have chosen a different path of loving you as my daughter,with an unconditional love that many consider "western".I want you to know that although your journey has been vastly different,I am excited as I watch you standing on the threshold (门槛)of becoming a woman for all the adventures and possibilities the future holds for you.May you fly your blue sky with grace,confidence and hope as you find your place in this beautiful and crazy world.Loving you now and always.Mommy (1)Mommy's mother refused to attend her wedding party because.A.she married against the wishes of her familyB.she was believed to fall victim to her marriageC.she would leave the family to settle in the white suburbsD.she would bring shame to the multicultural community(2)By "your life could not have been more different from mine",Mommy means.A.her childhood was no different from her daughter'sB.her parents treated her the way she does her daughterC.her daughter experienced the same traditions at birth with herD.her daughter can enjoy the opportunities which she didn't(3)What can be inferred from Mommy's Muslim family life?A.She suffered much abuse in the family.B.She fought against her Muslim identity.C.She was forced to drop out of school.D.She behaved like a good Muslim girl.(4)Mommy sends her daughter to multi﹣cultural schools because.A.they provide more opportunities and freedomsB.her daughter can develop a sense of belongingC.her daughter can explore the best of Asian heritageD.they offer children a westernized way of education(5)Which of the following can best describe Mommy?A.Outgoing,tolerant and realistic.B.Determined,liberal and optimistic.C.Conservative,tricky and aggressive.D.Independent,arbitrary and ambitious(6)Mommy writes the letter to.A.reveal the sufferings she had as a teenage

dream第四部分任务型阅读(满分10分)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.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.31.(10分)We all have complaints about going to work.It's expected:work takes up the majority of our waking day and it very much defines us.We often use our jobs as an introduction and a window into our lives when we meet someone﹣a job reflects who we are.It influences the clothes we wear,the holidays we take,where we live and how we feel about ourselves.Of course,it takes up sizeable amounts of time,focus and energy.We complain about getting on that rush﹣hour train or the way the boss speaks;we laugh about the pain of Monday mornings and the thrill of annual leave.But for many people,work has ceased to be simply a source of complaints or a joke.But haven't there always been tough roles,heavy workloads and overtime?Why has this work﹣related illness arisen now?From the research that has been carried out on this subject,workload is consistently cited (引用)as the most common reason for this ill health.But as our jobs are not going to change any time soon,it's time to change ourselves.Mental﹣health experts often talk about resilience:the ability to cope,survive and bounce back from difficulties.Some is inborn,but resilience can be built and fostered (培养)﹣and certainly so in one's working life.We know that resilience at work is partly fostered by supportive relationships.So it is important to nurture healthy interpersonal relationships at work,whether that is through the support of a good manager or through friendship with work colleagues.Any supportive relationship you invest in at work will improve your stress levels.Resilience can also be fostered by taking control.That is not easy in the face of a demanding boss or terrible workloads,so you might need to look for it elsewhere.Being able to take control in other areas of your life also leads to empowerment and grows your confidence.Control or change your journey to work,what you have for lunch or even who you sit with in the canteen.Small changes may seem trivial (微不足道的),but they are super effective.Psychologists talk about micro﹣actions and these are incredibly powerful in the face of stress﹣changing controllable aspects of your life so that those repeated small successes foster self﹣esteem,confidence and ultimately more success in the bigger areas of your life.It is also crucial not to let everything become about work.Look for micro﹣successes elsewhere,in your hobbies,your exercise goals and your life plan.Our work appears to be making more and more of us unwell.But we all have the ability to make ourselves better.第五部分书面表达(满分25分)请认真阅读下面有关中学生自信心现状调查的柱状图及相关文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章.32.(25分)Self﹣confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views

Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched forthat ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and adrift. Eventually, I decided to goto graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy.And what's the difference between being happy and having meaning in life? Many psychologists define happiness as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good in the moment. Meaning, though, is deeper. The renowned psychologist Martin Seligman says meaning comes from belonging to and serving something beyond yourself and from developing the best within you. Our culture is obsessed (痴迷于) with happiness,but I came to see that seeking meaning is the more fulfilling path.There are four pillars(支柱)of a meaningful life.The first pillar is belonging. Belonging comes from being in relationships where you're valued for who you are intrinsically and where you value others aswell. For many people, belonging is the most essential source of meaning.For others, the key to meaning is the second pillar: purpose. Finding your purpose is not the same thing as finding that job that makes you happy. A hospital custodian told me her purpose is healing sick people. Many parents tell me, "My purpose is raising my children." The key to purpose is using your strengths to serve others. Without something worthwhile to do, people flounder.The third pillar of meaning is also about stepping beyond yourself, but in a completely different way: transcendence(超然). Transcendent experiences can change you. Transcendent states are those rare moments when you're lifted abovethe hustle and bustle of daily life, your sense of self fades away, and you feel connected to a higher reality. For me, I'm a writer, and it happens through writing. Sometimes I get so in the zone that I lose all sense of time and place.The fourth pillar is storytelling, the story you tell yourself aboutyourself. Creating a narrative from the events of your life brings clarity. It helps you understand how you became you. But we don't always realize that we'rethe authors of our stories and can change the way we're telling them. Your lifeisn't just a list of events. You can edit, interpret and retell your story, even as you're constrained by the facts.That's the power of meaning. Happiness comes and goes. But when life is really good and when things are really bad, having meaning gives you something to hold on to.(1)What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. Life can be fulfilled by landing ideal job.B. Life dilemma is easy for us to get out of.C. Happiness is the core values in our culture.D. Happiness is what most people pursue.(2)From the four pillars of a meaningful life, we can know that .A. nothing is as essential a source of meaning as belongingB. purpose is Jess about what you want than what you giveC. transcendent fades easily and rarely makes us cheerfulD. the way of telling stories guarantees a meaningful life(3)The passage aims to tell us that.A. meaning is more important than happinessB. seeking meaning does more good than badC. chasing happiness can make people unhappyD. meaning has deeper psychological significance29.(★★★★)In 2015 a paper published in ascience magazine reported on the personality types of people living in various London districts. Extroverts(外向的人), the researchers who wrote it had discovered, favored Richmond. Those who were most open to experience gathered in Hackney. People in Barnet scored lower than average on emotional stability.What this study did not address was whether someone's home range reflects their personality traits or imposes them. In other words, is what is going on "nature" or "nurture" (培育)? However, in a piece of research just published,Dr. Holtmann of Otago University, in New Zealand, and his colleagues have filled [that gap]-at least, they have filled it for dunnocks.The dunnock is a European bird. It has, though. been introduced to New Zealand and its population has boomed there. It is a well-studied species. and, in particular, some being measurably bolder (更大胆的) and more tolerant ofpotential threats, such as nearby human beings, than others. The team's research area was the Botanic Garden in Dunedin. This is open to the public, but someareas are more frequented by visitors than others. Dunnocks have small territories,so it was possible to measure the amount of human disturbance in a given territory with reasonable precision. And, by wrapping each of the dunnocks in the garden with colour-coded bands it was possible to identify individuals bysight. Altogether, the researchers looked at 99 of them.They worked out a bird's level of threat tolerance by the simple method of walking towards it, and then measuring how close one could get before the bird flew away. They did this several times for each bird every breeding season, and repeated the process over the course of three seasons.A particular bird's flight distance (ie, how closely it could be approachedbefore it departed) was, they found, consistent within a breeding season. From season to season most birds got a little bolder-probably as they learnt more about the world and what they could safely get away with. But this increase in boldness with age was small compared with the different starting Points of bold and shybirds when they first arrived in a territory. It did not, therefore, much affectthe fact that, on average, birds' flight distances were inversely correlated with the level of human disturbance in their territories. This was a consequence of disturbed territories being settled by bold birds, and undisturbed territories by shy ones.In the case of dunnocks, then, nature wins over nurture. Dr. Holtmann was ableto show that Personalities match circumstances, rather than being created by them. Dunnocks can recognize Which places suit them best, and choose to settle in them shortly after they are fully fledged(羽翼丰满). Most likely, that is happening in London districts, too.(1)What does the underlined words "that gap" in the second paragraph refer to?A. What the paper published in 2015 failed to handle.B. Why extroverts favour certain areas in London district.C. How Dr. Holtmann involved dunnocks in his study.D. What the former and latter study have in common.(2)From Paragraph 3, we can know that dunnocks.A. are native to New ZealandB. have distinct personalitiesC. are bolder than human beingsD. can be easily identified by its color(3)What conclusion did Dr. Holtmann draw from his study?A. It's nurture rather than nature that matters in the case of dunnocks' behaviour.B. Birds' flight distances were in proportion to human disturbance in their territories.C. Dunnocks choose their habitats wisely in the first place rather than adapt to them.D. Bold birds and shy birds alike settle in undisturbed territories in the botanic garden.(4)What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?A. To argue that circumstances cultivate certain personalities.B. To entertain readers with some funny facts about dunnocks.C. To present the finding of a scientific research about dunnocks.D. To confirm the assumption that personalities match circumstances.30.(★★★)I'm sitting at home working, minding my business, and the mobile rings. It's DC Lyle from Wandsworth police station. He says that my name wasgiven to Crimestoppers anonymously as a potential witness to the ‘Putney Pusher' incident. Remember that madman who pushed a woman into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge while out for his morning jog? Well, six months on and they still haven't found him-and DC Lyle wants to meet.I say I couldn't possibly help as I wasn't a witness. DC Lyle says he still needsto meet. I reaffirm there really was no point, I could be of no value; I wasn't there. DC Lyle insists, and in doing so mentions that he has my email address,and that he tried to see me at my office yesterday (I wasn't in). What? Somebodygave the police my office address, email address and phone number. Who? Feeling invaded and annoyed, I tell DC Lyle he could come at 10 a.m. the next day. I put the phone down, and only then the penny dropped. I was a suspect.I must know. Who was the person who put my name forward? They obviously know me,but not well enough to call me first and let me know they were going to report meto the police. Or perhaps they do know me well and have it in for me. That's for another day.I frantically search for the video footage of the incident online. The images are grainy. Squint(眯眼看) the eyes and even I can see some resemblance. I look at the Pusher's jogging gear. Not premium, I might be OK. He's got fatcalves. Result. Mine are sculpted (my best feature). The Pusher's got obvious moobs. Oh dear. I carry some permanent holiday weight, I admit it. All it would take is a bored jury and a half-decent prosecution barrister, and none of this would be beyond reasonable doubt.I need evidence proving my innocence, so I fire up the iCal to see what my movements were on 5 May. There is nothing in the diary. This is not going well.After a fitful night I wake early. 9:45 a.m. arrives. The door buzzergoes. It's DC Lyle and his sidekick. Of course they're early, sneaky bastards. Look relaxed, Joel. Keep yourself together. DC Lyle and DC Sidekick show me their badges. I show them how extremely nice and friendly I am. Once installed on my sofa (I didn't offer tea) they hit me with it-I am indeed a suspect."Someone put you forward as the person that did this, and we're here toinvestigate whether you did. Where were you on the morning of 5 May between the hours of 7:30 and 8:00 a.m.?"I have nothing. I live alone, work from home most days, no diary events, no witnesses as to my whereabouts. Sweats. "Wait," I say. "Almost every morning of the working week I go to Pret A Manger to have a coffee at or about the time of incident." But did I that day? Even if I did, what if it was a day when they gave me a coffee ‘on the house' as they often did, me being a regular ‘n'all. There might not be credit card records. More sweats.I get the computer. American Express login. Search for May 2017expense calendar (消费明细). Double click. Get in: 5 May 2017-Pret A Manger, El .95.I'm in the clear. DC Lyle peers over my shoulder at the screen. He's satisfiedI'm not the Putney Pusher. The Pret evidence is helpful, but he also says I'm taller than the real Pusher. Skinnier, too. I tell him that's because I've been jogging a lot recently.(1)Why did DC Lyle call "me" and insist on a meet?A. Police thought "I" was the Putney Pusher.B. The woman charged me with the incident.C. Someone reported me to the police station.D. "I" accidentally knew who the suspect was.(2)The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means .A. money was wasted on answering the phone callB. money should be paid to get rid of my suspicionC. something serious would follow for days to comeD. something puzzling wasn't understood until then(3)The sentence "I have to clear my name, and reclaim ownership of my identity." should be placed at the end of.A. Para. 2B. Para. 3C. Para. 4D. Para. 6(4)What "I" found of the incident indicates that.A. "I" wouldn't be suspected without putting on holiday weightB. "I" am exactly the man who the police have been hunting forC. it is reasonable for DC Lyle to arrest "me" to finish his jobD. it is unfavorable for "me" not to have a habit of writing diaries(5)What can we learn from "my" meeting with DC Lyle?A. Being extremely friendly makes me more suspicious.B. The expense calendar provides relief to my suspicion.C. DC Lyle doesn't assume I am the Pusher in advance.D. Recent jogging is a key to my tall and skinny feature.(6)What is the best title for the passage?A. A false alarmB. The Pusher at largeC. My identity crisisD. Careless policemen第四部分任务型阅读(满分10分)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.31.(★★★)Ownership used to be about as straightforward as writing a cheque. If you bought something, you owned it. If you broke it, you fixedit. If you no longer wanted it, you sold it or threw it away. Some firms found ways of squeezing out more profit in the after-sale services, using authorized repair shops, and strategies such as selling cheap printers and expensive ink,which, however, did not challenge the nature of ownership.In the digital age ownership has become more ambiguous. Since the arrival of smart phones, consumers are forced to accept that they do not control the software in their devices; they are only licensed to use it. But as more digital devices are springing up, who owns and who controls which objects is becoming aproblem. Buyers should be aware that some of their most basic property rights are under threat.Needless to say, manufacturers seeking to restrict what owners do withincreasingly complex technology have good reasons to protect their copyright,ensure that their machines do not malfunction(发生故障), maintain environmentalstandards and prevent hacking. Sometimes companies use their control over a product's software for the owners' benefit. When Hurricane Irma hit Florida this month, Tesla, a start-up for electric vehicles, remotely upgraded the software controlling the batteries of some models to give owners more range to escape the storm.The more digital strings(数字串) are attached to goods, the more the balance of control towards producers and away from owners. Already this has given rise to controversy (争议) over owners' property rights. Items from smart phones to washing machines have become increasingly hard to fix, meaning that they are thrown away instead of being repaired. Privacy is also at risk. Users were alarmed when it came out that iRobot, a robotic vacuum cleaner, not only cleans the floor but creates a digital map Of the home's interior that can then be sold on advertisers though the manufacturer says it has no intention of doing so.Such issues should remind people how desperately they ought to protect their property rights. In America this idea has already taken root in the "right to repair" movement. In France appliance-makers must tell buyers how long a device is likely to last-a sign of how repairable it is. Regulators should encourage competition by, for instance, insisting that independent repair shops have the same access to product information, spare parts and repair tools as manufacturer-owned ones.Ownership is not about to go away, but its meaning is changing. Devices, by and large, are sold on the basis that they empower (授权) people to do what they want. To the extent they are controlled by somebody else, that freedom is compromised.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)第五部分书面表达(满分25分)32.(★★★★)请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇巧150词左右的文章.【写作内容】1.用约30个单词概括上面图画内容;2.用约120个单词阐述你对"一带一路"倡议(The Belt and Road initiative)的看法,并补充2、3个论据支撑你的看法.【写作要求】l.写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句;2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称;3.不必写标题.【评分标准】内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当.。

Firstly, the Belt and Road will enable China to realize sustainable development, deepen its opening-up, and strengthen its mutually beneficial cooperation with countries in Asia, Europe and Africa and the rest of the world, which will definitely promote China’s further development. Furthermore, it also gives other countries opportunities to enhance international cooperation, exchange resources and technology and set up all-dimensional networks, thus speeding up all-round prosperity worldwide.In conclusion, the Belt and Road initiative is a win-win project facilitating comprehensive development especially in the economy dimension. Only when countries concerned combine their efforts can the Belt and Road initiatives be fully fulfilled.

So I thought maybe I’d take in a roomer.W: That’s a very nice room. I think I will take it if the rent is OK. What’s the rent?M: ○10$300 per month including the utilities. ○10But if you pay yearly, you’ll get a 5% discount.W: That’s quite reasonable. I will take it. Do I have to sign a contract with you?M: You don’t have to.W: Can I pay by credit card?M: I’m sorry. You can use neither check nor credit card. ○11Only cash is accepted.W: Oh, I see.

Why?W: ○14I’m keen on getting some experience abroad, and I like England and English people.M: I’m the Restaurant Manager and Head Waiter, so you’d be working directly under me. ○15You’d be responsible for bringing in the dishes from the kitchen, serving the drinks, and if necessary looking after the bills. So you’d be kept pretty busy. W: I’m used to that. In my last position we were busy most of the time, especially in summer.M: Good. Now, is there anything you’d like to ask about the job?W: Well, the usual question—what sort of salary were you thinking of paying?M: We pay our waiters forty pounds a week, and you would get your evening meal free.W: I see.M: Now, you may have wondered why I asked you here so late in the day. The fact is, I would like to see you in action, so to speak. ○16Would you be willing to act as waitress here this evening for half an hour or so? Our first customers will be coming in, let me see, in about ten minutes’ time.W: Well, I’m free this evening otherwise.(Text 10)W: I shall never forget the day when I first set foot in London. ○17I had come from a quiet little town in Switzerland and I had never before lived in a big city, so London was a new world to me and I was dying to find out more about it myself.The general opinion abroad is that London has fog or rain, or both, every day of the year, but ○18on the day that I arrived it was fine and warm, there was a bright sun and a cloudless sky. The next day was just as beautiful; there was a slight wind that gently moved the leaves on the trees, and ○20you could smell the spring in the air. “Life is grand,”I thought, as I took Anthony, the little boy of the house, for a walk in Kensington Gardens. It was a straight road and I found the way quite easily. ○19When I got my first sight of the gardens the beauty of it all nearly took my breath away. ○20The trees were just bursting into leaf, fresh and green and lovely, and there were beds of spring flowers, red and yellow and blue, in the beautiful, smooth grass under the trees.○20People in light spring clothes were walking about, and, to my surprise, they walked not only along the paths but also across the grass, and no one said a word to them about it. I had never seen anything like that before.。
