And when the tree heard it, it rustled all over, and sent back word to the leaf, “Do not be afraid; hold on tightly, and you shall not go till you want to.”And so the leaf stopped sighing, but went on nestling and singing. Every time the tree shook itself and stirred up all its leaves, the branches shook themselves, and the little twig shook itself, and the little leaf danced up and down merrily, as if nothing could ever pull it off.And so it grew all summer long until October.And when the bright days of autumn came, the little leaf saw all the leaves around becoming very beautiful. Some were yellow, and some scarlet, and some mixed with both colors.Then it asked the tree what it meant. And the tree said, “All these leaves are getting ready to fly away, and they have put on these beautiful colors because of joy.”Then the little leaf began to want to go, and grew very beautiful in thinking of it, and when it was very bright, it saw that the branches of the tree had no color in them, and so the leaf said, “Oh branches, why are you lead color and we golden?”“We must keep on our work clothes, for our life is not done; but your clothes are for holiday...”Just then a little puff of wind came, and the leaf let go without thinking of it, and thewind took it up, and turned it over and over, and whirled it like a spark of fire in the air, and then it fell gently down under the fence among hundreds of other leaves, and began to dream—a dream so beautiful that perhaps it will last forever.4．Why was the little leaf anxious?A．It would lose the twig soon.B．It would be blown off by the wind.C．It couldn’t nestle on the tree.D．It would fly away from the tree. 5．What can we learn from Paragraph 5?A．The tree taught the leaf to be merry.B．The branches are the nest of the leaf.C．The tree was strong to fight against the wind.D．The little leaf conquered its fear and anxiety.6．What does the underlined sentence probably mean in the passage?A．The leaf was changing its color for holiday.B．The branches were of tired of the leaf.C．The leaf was on the way to falling off.D．The branches were jealous of the leaf. 7．Which saying can best explain the philosophy of this passage?A．Every dark cloud has a silver lining.B．Everything on earth goes with the law of nature.C．The grass is always greener on the other side.D．Life is of high value but freedom is more precious.When you think of the new place for growing food, you might think of Mars. But one Italian family believes one possible place is right here on the Earth: the ocean.Nemo’s Garden is the world’s first underwater cultivation system of terrestrial (陆地的) plants. Located off the coast of Noli, Italy, it consists of several greenhouses called biospheres (生物圈), attached to the seafloor. “The mission of it is to change agriculture, to give it an added possibility for growing produce in the ocean,” says co-founder Luca Gamberini.His father Sergio Gamberini came up with the idea by combining his two passions—diving and gardening. In 2012, the project began with planting basil in a balloon underwater. Now Nemo’s Garden is growing strong.With the global population expected to reach roughly 10 billion by 2050, the UN estimates food production will need to increase up to 60% to feed the population.“We have a limited amount of resources, and our current way of harvesting thoseresources is unsustainable,” Luca says, “and we believe that underwater gives us some advantages over traditional agriculture.Floating six to ten meters underwater, plants in Nemo’s Garden are separated from any outside pathogens (病菌) and pests. Also, the relatively steady temperature of the ocean water is an ideal environment for plant life. Besides, Nemo’s Garden uses hydroponics—a technique that uses water-based nutrients instead of soil. Sunlight does reach the plants, but growing lights are used when needed. “Also, there is little interaction with the marine environment and related ecosystems, which means no harm is caused to marine life,” adds Luca.Everything is monitored on land through cameras and sensors, and settings can be adjusted remotely. When it’s time to harvest, a diver will cut the vegetation, place Different studies have been conducted on Nemo’s Garden. A 2020 study concluded that basil from the garden had a higher essential oil concentration and contained more antioxidants (抗氧化剂).The team at Nemo’s Garden has plans for even bigger biospheres in the future, as well as other locations. Luca believes the future of Nemo’s Garden will be mostly along the coastlines where communities could benefit from the added space it offers.8．What does the underlined word ”it“ in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The biosphere.B．The seafloor.C．Agriculture.D．Nemo’s Garden. 9．Why is the population issue mentioned in paragraph 4?A．To estimate the current situation of food production.B．To address the expansion of global population.C．To add some background information on the project.D．To point out some problems in traditional agriculture.10．How does Luca feel about Nemo’s Garden?A．Cost-effective.B．Energy-saving.C．Multi-functional.D．Eco-friendly.11．Which of the following is the limitation of Nemo’s Garden?A．Its plants are low in nutritious value.B．Its biospheres are not large enough.C．Its biospheres completely rely on antioxidants.D．Its plants are too weak to fight pathogens.Professionals use the word “amateur” as a disapproving term for those who lack formal training and qualifications. I think such prejudice is a mistake. One day that amateur might just create a new industry.Typical amateurs are free to invent as they please, try new ideas, fail, and get up and do it all again—but better. As Marshall McLuhan, the media theorist, said: “Amateurs can afford to lose.” They are self-improvers, chasing a dream rather than a laborious, life-long career within a group. Amateurs can do it part-time, for charity or for fun.Thanks to the Internet, we can all be competent amateurs at almost everything. Now everyone can DIY and experiment—from blogging to film-making to online advice shops. The mysteries, terms and exclusiveness of the self-satisfied old crafts are revealed online for all to see. Besides, the world is vastly more complex now, but that means even the most respected professional needs expert help. The end of the age of authority means we no longer hold elites (精英) such as judges and bankers in such awe. For centuries the club-like professional bodies have taken society in their control, a form of freemasonry (互助协会) for the well-educated and connected.Charles Leadbeater has written persuasively about the importance of serious amateurs, or “professional amateurs”, who have helped introduce innovations to the mainstream. These passionate amateurs cooperate to give disruptive ideas (颠覆性的观点) possibility. Their constructive ideas contribute to the improvement of mountain bikes. Social enterprises are dominated by enthusiastic amateurs whose priority is to improve the world rather than bill clients. Among the greatest cooperative achievements of the Internet Age have been Wikipedia and Linux. It is surprising there haven’t been more crowded-sourced successes. Perhaps business projects have been too chaotic and lacked the leadership necessary for any complicated project to come to fruition.Nevertheless, I show my admirations for the armies of gifted amateurs. I don’t deny the importance of education, but I place greater emphasis on results and originality, which are the highlights of amateurism.12．The advantages of amateurs are listed below except ______.A．they enjoy more freedom in creation.B．they can afford the cost of failure.C．they are the fruit of the Internet Age.D．they have a wide range of choices. 13．What can be seen in Paragraph 3?A．The influence of professionals are being challenged.B．Public opinion is influenced by the small group of elites.C．Only the competent amateurs can make crafts revealed.D．Human society has been governed by well-educated groups.14．How does the author present his point in Paragraph 4?A．By listing figures.B．By making comparisons.C．By explaining causes.D．By giving examples.15．What’s the best title for the text?A．The Evolution of Amateurism B．A New Industrial RevolutionC．A Salute to the Amateur D．The End of Authority AgeHow to prepare for a new semesterIf you’re a newbie in your final year, it’s a good idea to go into the new semester with a plan. Why? 16 . If you start your semester disorganized and out of your depth, it will be challenging to get a grip on things once classes and other commitments pour in.17Realistically, you’d need little more than a pen and paper to take notes in class. However, your courses may require special supplies. Make sure you make a list and gather your essentials first. Then you can let your creative juices flow. Markers, glitter pens, sticky notes—it’s up to you.Set up your study spaceA clean, well-organized, and non-distracting workspace is essential for productivity. Set up your study space to be most beneficial to you. 18When choosing your study space, make sure it has enough natural light, or a good light source. Make an estimate of how much surface area you’ll need and organize your space accordingly. You’ll be spending a good part of your week in your study space so make it as comfortable and functional as possible.Know your class schedule19 . Check who your teachers are and find out what they expect from you regarding class participation, attendance, absence, late assignments, etc. Important things to include in your class schedule: course title, teacher, time, location.From the above we can know that there’s a lot that goes into preparing well for a new semester. 20 , and won’t get caught off guard by important dates, difficult lectures orlong assignments.A．Prepare yourself wellB．Gather your suppliesC．You should check your class schedule to see your tutors’ namesD．Besides, think about what worked during your previous semester and what didn’t E．The first few days back at school will set the tone for the rest of the semesterF．It’s important to be well prepared so that you can manage your time wellG．You must keep your class schedule somewhere easily accessible二、完形填空Chris Alsgree, an undergraduate at Princeton University, was recently wondering:22．A．Consequently B．Undoubtedly C．Apparently D．Additionally 23．A．devotion B．commitment C．enthusiasm D．sympathy 24．A．ignored B．noticed C．overlooked D．admitted 25．A．capable of B．content with C．responsible for D．bored with 26．A．lining B．standing C．flooding D．crowding 27．A．appointments B．encounters C．discussions D．interviews 28．A．greeting B．teaching C．guiding D．caring 29．A．rang B．stuck C．arose D．sought 30．A．turned out B．figured out C．worked out D．handed out 31．A．small B．big C．happy D．sad 32．A．picked B．forced C．awarded D．ordered 33．A．encouragement B．energy C．spirit D．creativity 34．A．ambitious B．reliable C．cautious D．precious 35．A．convinced B．pretended C．declared D．required三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

2023-2024学年上海南汇中学高三学期上10月阶段练习英语试题Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.It’s harder to heal at nightCircadian rhythm, better known as our body clock, is the cycle that keeps us moving on. During a24-hour cycle it helps 1 (drive) multiple processes in the body, from hormone secretion and sleeping patterns to metabolism. And researchers at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered that this cycle can affect the healing of wounds such as cuts and burns.Dr John O’Neill, the senior author of the study, said, “This is the first time that the circadian clock within individual skin cells 2 (show) to determine how effectively they respond to injuries.”The study found that, on average, burns that 3 (occur) at night took 60 per cent longer to heal than burns that happened during the body clock daytime cycle. Nighttime burns (sustained between 8pm and 8am) healed around 28 days 4 when it was 17 days if a burn was sustained during the day (between 8am and 8pm). The study drew these conclusions after 5 (analyse) data from 118 patient records from all major burns units in England and Wales.The reasoning behind the differences in healing time is due to 6 long it takes for skin cells to move to the site of the wound and begin repairs, a process that occurs more quickly during the daytime. This is driven by increased activity of the proteins within the cell, 7 act like a muscle within the cell.In a statemen t, Dr Ned Hoyle, the lead author of the study, said, “We’ve shown that the daily cycles in our body clock control how well cells can repair 8 (damage) tissue by affecting an essential protein called actin. Efficient repair of our skin is critical to preventing infection, and 9 healing goes wrong, wounds need more time to heal. Further research into the link 10 body clocks and wound healing may help us to develop drugs that promote wound healing.Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. capableB. controllableC. faintD. idealE. landscapeF. outpacingG. perceive H. physical I. promise J. scrub K. supportingYou’ll Ne ver Be Truly AloneIn the decades to come, a large number of home robots could make today’s appliances seem interesting. The market for consumer and office robots is expected to develop quickly in the next three years, according to a 2015 report by Business Insider Intelligence, being greater than $1.5 billion and far 11 the growth of robots in manufacturing.We already have robots that clean the house, like the Roomba, but in the future we’ll also have robot arms that can 12 surfaces and bathe people, says Christopher Atkeson, a roboticist at Carnegie Mellon, whose lab has produced such machines. Eventually, robots will fold laundry and cook meals. And if they work well, you won’t even notice them. The key to effective robots is ”being 13 of predicting what people will do,“ says Julie Shah, the head of the Interactive Robotics Group at MIT. ”The idea is either 14 people or staying out of their way.“That said, some people may want a robot that hangs around. In Japan, a friendly humanoid robot called Pepper that can 15 and respond to human emotion has proved enormously popular since it went on sale two years ago. Pepper might turn out to be the 16 roommate- helpful, kind, and always up for hanging out, but never in the way.Perhaps the already 17 line between online and offline life will disappear, and human relationships with intelligent machines will represent a new extension of our social 18 . Your in-hour robot could serve as an avatar(化身)for friends and family, 19 from afar so that, with the help of robotic arms and legs, you could dance with or hug a loved one who is halfway around the planet. The real 20 of - or problem with - the house of the future, then, might be that you’ll never have to leave it. However, what the future house will be like still remains to be seen.An idea whose time has come: the four-day workweekThe four-day workweek’s moment has arrived. With California Congressman Mark Takano’s introduction of legislation to reduce the standard workweek from 40 to 32 hours, awareness of a shorter workweek－and_________for it－is gaining. And so is the skepticism(怀疑)around it.Initial skepticism is a(n) _________ response to a great change in how we think about work. American work culture has been defined by ideals of career as identity, workaholism and ambitions for continuous growth. It is not _________to free ourselves from the only reality we know.And yet, if there were ever a right time, this is it. For so many, the muscles of adaptation have_________ over the past two years with every challenge brought on by the pandemic and other global crises. The rapid, significant transition across industries to working from home provided evidence that we can _________ quickly in response to changing conditions. Now, we have an opportunity to exercise these muscles to_________evolve from outdated conceptions of what work must look like.Four-day workweek pilots are emerging across the globe, with some companies now shifting from the_________stage to implementing the policy permanently. Microsoft Japan, Unilever New Zealand and Kick-starter represent just a few of a growing number of organizations exploring the four-day workweek. _________political leaders are voicing support for the concept. Last year, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardem approved employers implementing a four-day workweek to help stimulate domestic tourism in response to industry downturn brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.Advocates mention many_________, including reduced burnout, improved physical and mental health, increased gender equity, and positive environment impacts. It is easy to imagine what we might do with an additional day-spend time with family and friends, pursue a hobby, enroll in classes, sleep. Many in favor of the four-day workweek envision a more ____________and rested community. Pilot findings show increased productivity as well. Among companies that have adopted a four-day week, nearly two-thirds report increased productivity.Some leaders will see the research and be ____________ that a pilot in their organization is worthwhile. Other will resist the idea. What theories or beliefs are at the the root of their concerns? Many leaders were taught that face-time with employees is the only way to ensure accountability, productivity and teamwork. Less face-time, which follows the four-day workweek model and work-from-home arrangements, can feel to some like____________control.For leaders of organizations and teams, the shift to a four-day workweek requires re-imagining standard operating procedures, increasing innovation and, perhaps most importantly, trusting in____________. Let employees work out the details rather than trying to “solve” the four-day workweek challenge____________. Awin, a Berlin-based teach firm, saw 80 employees volunteer for task forces to ensure that their switch to a four-day workweek went smoothly. Those who are closest to the work and potential challenges are often closest to the____________. The website also offers many resources to help companies design a four-day workweek pilot.21.A．dislike B．substitution C．responsibility D．enthusiasm 22.A．delayed B．reasonable C．incorrect D．official23.A．late B．practical C．easy D．impossible 24.A．loosen B．hurt C．strengthened D．trembled25.A．withdraw B．fail C．defend D．adapt26.A．intentionally B．traditionally C．incidentally D．hopelessly 27.A．center B．recovery C．design D．pilot28.A．As a result B．What’s more C．By contrast D．In fact29.A．concerns B．assumptions C．threats D．benefits30.A．isolated B．experienced C．fulfilled D．modernized 31.A．reminded B．convinced C．informed D．warned32.A．a sense of B．a drain on C．a loss of D．a waste of33.A．employees B．advocates C．campaigners D．leaders 34.A．from the scratch B．from the bottomup C．from the middle D．from the topdown35.A．risks B．procedures C．solutions D．resourcesDiplomacy (外交) is an art. It requires not only strategy, but also other aspects, including intuition, persuasion, and even tricks, human skills that have long been unreachable to even the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. Now, an AI algorithm (算法) from a high-tech company has shown it can beat many humans in a game of diplomacy, which required both strategic planning and negotiations with other players. The work, researchers said, could point the way toward virtual exercise coaches and conflict mediators (调解员) .AI has already beaten humans in some games of strategy. It is also proving powerful at natural-language processing, in which it can generate humanlike text and carry on conversations. In the game of diplomacy, seven players vied for control of Europe. On each turn, players issued orders regarding the movement of army and naval units, following discussion with other players, whom they could attack or support.There are two technical innovations noted by Jonathan Gratch, a computer scientist at the University of Southern California who studies negotiation agents. First, the Al agent’s com-munication is grounded in multistep planning. Second. the Al agent keeps its remarks and game play within the range of human common practice.To test its skill, the researchers had the Al agent play 40 online games against humans. It placed in the top 10% of players who’d played at least two games. “In a game that involves language and negotiation, that agents can reach human equal level is very exciting,” said Yu, a computer scientist at Columbia University.According to Brown, a computer scientist at the company who co-authored the paper, the work could lead to practical applications in fields that now require a human touch. One specific example is that virtual personal assistants might help consumers negotiate for better prices on plane tickets. Gratch and Yu both see opportunities for agents that persuade people to make healthy choices or open up during therapy.36. Who is likely to benefit from the research work?A．A famous cyber athlete.

Young girls, in particular, struggle with their body image thanks to a constant stream of photos and videos showing beautiful bodies that users don’t think they can attai n.While the information the Journal covered is essential and instructive, it does not tell the whole story. Deep down, this is not an Instagram problem; it’s a people problem. Understanding that distinction can make the difference between a failed attemp t to contain a teen’s interest in an addictive app and successfully addressing the underlying problem leading to mental distress induced (诱发) by Instagram.Critics were quick to shame Facebook for sitting on the data and not releasing it to researchers or academics who asked for it. Others criticize the social media giant for not using the research to create a safer experience for its teen users. The anger, while understandable, is misplaced.While I’m reluctant to defend Facebook, I’m not sure it’s reaso nable to blame the company for withholding data that would hurt its business. Have you ever binge-watched (狂看) a Netflix series?I assure you it wasn’t a healthy endeavor. You were in active, likely did nothing productive, mindlessly snacked and didn’t go outside for fresh air. It is an objectively harmful use of time to stare at a TV or laptop for a full weekend. Should we respond by shaming Netflix for not alerting us to how damaging an addictive product can be?While it’s reasonable to say Instagram make s esteem issues worse, it strains credulity (夸张到难以置信) to believe it causes them in the first place. You create your own experiences on social media. For the most part, you choose which accounts to follow and engage. If you’re already vulnerable to insecurities and self-sabotage (自损) — as many teens are — you will find accounts to obsess over. And this isn’t a new phenomenon.Before social media, there were similar issues fueling self-esteem issues. Whether the target be magazines, movies or television shows depicting difficult-to-attain bodies, there has been a relatively steady chorus (异口同声) of experts nothing the damage new media could cause young viewers.Self-esteem issues have an underlying cause —one that’s independent of social media use. Instagram merely enhances those feelings because it provides infinitely more access to triggers than older forms of media. It’s more worthwhile to address those underlying factors rather than to attack Facebook.43. The author thinks the criticisms against Instagram __________.A．are successful attempts to change teens’ interest in addictive appsB．address the Instagram - induced mental painC．are only based on the data released by FacebookD．are not directed at the fundamental problem44. Netflix is mentioned to __________.A．compare the criticisms against it and FacebookB．defend why Facebook is to blameC．suggest the critics’ remarks are not to pointD．show Netflix does more harm to teens45. The Instagram problem is essentially a “people problem” in that __________.A．it is human nature to get addicted to social mediaB．users decide on their experiences on social mediaC．people have a tendency to feel insecure onlineD．people are keen on fabricating their self - profile46. What is the passage mainly about?A．the unprecedented criticism facing FacebookB．the alarming online habits of teenagers worldwideC．the root cause of Instagram - induced mental strainsD．the harmful impact of Instagram on teenagersAuthenticating Sushi … and PicassosA recent study of the seafood industry by Oceana, a conservation group, found that, nationwide, grocery stores mislabeled nearly one-fifth of all the fish they sold. Sushi restaurants were even worse, serving a fish other than what was promised on the menu three-quarters of the time. 47 But some merchants seemed to substitute cheap fish like tilapia for more expensive fare on purpose.DNA bar coding can help uncover such practices. By taking a bit of muscle from a fish and sequencing (测定序列) the DNA inside, scientists can quickly tell one species from another. Bar-coding technology is accessible enough that high-school students have used it to expose fraud (骗局) at restaurants. 48 And they can see for themselves whether they’re really getting the bluefin t una they ordered.49 Billions of dollars’ worth of art changes hands every year, and some experts estimate that 40 percent of it is fake. Professional authentication can help, but recent stories involving works said to have been painted by Jackson Pollock, Amedeo Modigliani, and others have shown that a skillful forger (制作赝品者) can fool even the most respected experts. 50 Rather than using the artist’s own DNA—which a thief could lift from clothes, rubbish, or hairs—these labels would containDNA from another creature, with pieces of synthetic DNA woven in. To authenticate the piece,scientists would take DNA from the label, sequence the synthetic hits, and consult a database. Only if the sequence matched the database record would the piece be pronounced genuine.the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Vertical farming isn’t actually a very new concept. The idea has existed since at least the 1950s. However, it was only recently that we began to seriously explore the idea, and put it forward as a solution to the world food crisis.So what has vertical farming g ot going for it? At present, over 80 per cent of the world’s land that is suitable for farming is already being used. In order to grow enough food to feed the nine billion people that will be living on our planet in the middle of the 21 century, we’ll need TEN million more square kilometres of land - that’s an area 20 per cent bigger than Brazil!The building used for vertical farming won’t take up much space because they are tail - they’re skyscrapers. They can be built in the middle of cities, where all the people are. The food would be on people’s doorsteps, almost literally, so transport costs are minimal. That’s great for helping to combat global warming and climate change.Another advantage is that all food could be grown organically. The crops would need less water than traditional ones because all the water is recycled. All the nutrients are recycled too. The only thing that actually leaves the building is the produce, the food.Vertical farming would create jobs too. Imagine the small businesses that would spring up around these farms - for packaging, distribution, catering, and so on - they would employ thousands of people.Where is it likely to happen? Who will benefit most from it? First and foremost, countries that don’t have agriculture: cold countries, like Greenland and Iceland, and hot, desert countries, like Saudi Arabia. You would have sealed buildings in these places with an artificial climate - artificially warm in Iceland, artificially cool in a hot country.The social benefits are amazing and everybody gets good, healthy food. People have reacted really well to this idea - I think the idea is about to develop into reality.________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________52. 书展的门票只能提前一天在网上购买。

choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)No woman can be too rich or too thin.This saying often attributed to the late Duchess（公爵夫人）of Windsor represents much of the odd spirit of our times.Being thin is considered as such virtue.The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it.I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer cloches.Consequently,I have been on a diet for the better or worse-part of my life.Being rich wouldn't be bad either,but that won't happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land,leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we go off the track?When did eating butter become a sin,and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing,if not upsetting?Until quite recently,most people had a problem getting enough to eat.In some religious groups,wealth was a symbol of probable salvation（救助）and high morals,and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the opposite is true.We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue.The result is that being fat--or even only somewhat overweight--is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.Our obsession with thinness is also fueled by health concerns.It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before,and that in many cases,being overweight is associated with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease.These diseases,however,may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight.And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem--too much fat and a lack of fiber--than a weight problem.The real concern,then,is not that we weight too much,but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well.Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health.A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases.We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight.Simply being thin is not enough.It is actually hazardous if those who get(or already are)thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style.Thinness can be pure vainglory.56.In the eyes of the author,an odd phenomenon nowadays is that_________.A.the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtueB.looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortuneC.being thin is viewed as a much desired qualityD.religious people are not necessarily kind-hearted57.In human history,people's views on body weight_________.A.were closely related to their religious beliefsB.changed from time to timeC.varied between the poor and the richD.led to different moral standards58.What does the underlined word"vainglory"in the last paragraph mean?A.Great honour.B.Outdated concept.C.Self-relianceD.Excessive pride.59.The author criticizes women's obsession with thinness_________.A.from an economic and educational perspectiveB.from sociological and medical points of viewC.from a historical and religious standpointD.in the light of moral principles(B)New understanding of the relation between thought and emotion have strengthened the scientific foundation of the study of emotional ing a simple decision-making task, neurologist Antonio R.Damasio and his colleagues at the University of lowa have provided convincing evidence that emotion and reason are essentially inseparable.In the early1990s Damasio had people participate in a gambling task in which the goal is to maximize profit on a loan of play money.Participants were instructed to select100cards,one at a time,from four different decks.The experimenter arranged the cards such that two of the decks provided larger payoffs($100compared to only$50)but also doled out（按份额发放）larger penalties at unpredictable intervals.One group of participants in this study had been identified as having lesions（损害）to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex of the brain.Patients with this type of brain damage have normal intellectual function but are unable to use emotion in making decisions.The other group was normal,meaning that their brains were fully intact.Because there was no way for any of the players to calculate precisely which decks were riskier,they had to rely on their"gut"feelings to avoid losing money.Damasio's group demonstrated that the brain-lesion patients failed to pay attention to these feelings and thus lost significantly more money.Therefore,defects in the brain that impair emotion and feeling detection can impair decision-making.Damasio concluded that"individuals make judgments not only by assessing the severity of outcomes,but also and primarily in terms of their emotional quality."60.How much can one participant get if he or she keeps picking cards from Deck C and D?A.Almost$1,250B.About$5,000.C.Around$2,500.D.Hard to tell.61.What can we infer from the passage and pictures?A.The brain-damaged patients rely on their emotion to play games.B.There is no significant difference between the brain-damaged and normal participants.C.The normal participants are likely to win more money because of their reasoning ability.D.The brain-damaged participants may lose more money than the normal participants.62.Which of the following chart best represents the result of card selection of those with ventromedial lesion?(C)There are certain areas on Mars where we don't dare tread.NASA forbids spacecraft from visiting spots that possibly host liquid water,and so where life might be able to thrive,for fear to polluting Mars with Earth microbes（微生物）.But an analysis of the salty liquids on Mars suggests we needn't worry,because life as we know it should be unable to exist anywhere on the planet's surface.Edgard Rivera-Valentin at the Lunar and Planetary Institutein Texas and his colleagues used readings of the temperature and relative humidity across Mars to map the presence of salty water. Any water on the surface is likely to be salty,simply because the surface is.This boosts the chances of water being liquid because salt lowers its freezing point.It is like when you throw salt on an icy sidewalk,says Danielle Nuding at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California."It's the same chemistry happening."Unfortunately,the saltier the water,the less likely anything can survive in it.The team found that even though there could be salty water on the surface of Mars up to18per cent of the year,depending on the season, no microbe we have even seen on Earth would be able to reproduce there."Life as we know it is not going to find the brines（盐水）and survive because it's either going to be way too cold or way too salty,"says Rivera-Valentin,who presented the results at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas.That doesn't mean we can't pollute Mars:brines with different types of salts mixed together might be friendlier to life and temperatures just below the surface are much less extreme.Nevertheless,as long as we don't dig down,it might be highly unlikely or even impossible for rovers such as Curiosity to pollute Mars."The levels of sterilisation（杀毒）that we've done with Curiosity should be good enough to ignore[the ban on visiting]what we've been calling'special regions'until now,"says Jennifer Hanley at Lowell Observatory in Arizona."I think that we're OK to go."Visiting these regions would be particularly helpful because,while they are in theory the most vulnerable areas on Mars, they are also the most interesting.For example,arguments have been raging for over a decade about whether dark streaks on Martian slopes called recurring slope lineae are flowing water or just dust.A quick visit by Curiosity,which is near an area where the flows often form,could solve it once and for all.Even if areas with water are inhospitable to Earth life,they could still be home to native Martian life forms."If you had life that originated on Mars when it was more habitable,it could be that as Mars changed,life could have gradually adapted to the new,more extreme conditions,"says Rivera-Valentin.63.NASA forbids spacecraft from visiting the special regions on Mars because_________.A.life is unable to thrive there,thus there's no point of visiting themB.Martian life probably exists there and might threaten human beingsC.they worry Earth microbes might survive there,thus polluting MarsD.human beings know nothing about these areas and they are dangerous to us64.Which of the following statements is true?A.Mars'surface being salty provides evidence that Mars hosts liquid water.B.Earth life is unlikely to pollute Mars because the surface of the planet is either too cold or too salty.C.The fear of polluting Mars is unnecessary because human beings have no intention of that under any circumstances.D.Jennifer Hanley thinks human beings should explore the special regions on Mars in order to prove the existence of Martian life.65.What is the point of visiting the special regions on Mars?A.Martian life might be found.B.Liquid water might be found.C.Many puzzles about Mars could soon be solved.D.No humans have ever visited those regions before.66.Which might be the best title for the passage?A.Water on Mars too Salty for Earth LifeB.Curiosity rover:The ultimate guideC.Mysteries of Mars to be UnveiledD.The Salty Water of LifeSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Some therapists utilize techniques that act against the physical symptoms of fear.B.Survival may hot hang in the balance,but social,professional or financial success can seem to be in grave danger.C.All these symptoms eat away at the very resources needed to rise to the occasion:steady hands, clear memory and a cool head.D.The individual begins by imagining failure,works himself or herself into a state and then criticizes his or her own abilities.E.At Harvard,Powell found that facing anxiety can be a hard task,but many times the fear arises from completely controllable preconditions.F.Because performance anxiety arises when other people are present,many psychologists believe that the condition is a sub-category of social anxiety.Fear is good;in emergencies,it enables us to fight or flee.But often we get scared at the wrong time--when we step onto the field for a big soccer game or up to the microphone at a large town meeting.Professional athletes and actors say some nervousness help them concentrate better. But,when performance anxiety is too powerful,it undermines our efforts:a violinist cannot find the correct notes,a manager in a meeting forgets all the talking points.(67)_________.The human anxiety reaction begins almost automatically and includes clear physiological symptoms:a racing heart,sweating,stomach pains.Some people have trouble breathing or feel faint.Thus alarmed,victims may withdraw into themselves or shock others around them with aggressive outbursts.If the need to perform is a regular requirement,they may suffer from nightmares or fall into depression.(68)_________Studies reveal that anxiety-plagued executivesand less able to apply logical intelligence on standard tests than calmer colleagues.(69)_________Yet psychologist Douglas H.Powell of Harvard Medical School is convinced that severe stage fright is a phenomenon unto itself,given that it appears in only certain well-defined situations.Sociophobes（社恐的人）,in contrast,suffer merely when others are present.Whereas people with social phobias fear the negative feelings of others,those swith performance anxiety are their own harshest critics.They are perfectionists and would rather cancel an appearance--or avoid it--than not meet their own standards and,by extension,not be able to demonstrate how good they are.This destructive style of thinking often arises from a lack of self-esteem.(70)_________ Previous bad experiences can be a trigger--an embarrassing experience in a school play or a single failed test can sometimes arouse such strong feelings of shame in youngsters that as adults they will avoid any remotely similar undertaking.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following three passages.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.The Booming of Mobile PaymentPeople in China are now increasingly paying with their cell phones.According to the statistics,Chinese spent$5.5trillion through mobile payment platforms last year,about50times the amount in America.Mobile payment apps,Alipay and WeChat Pay,which belong to the country's leading social messaging platforms,together hold90percent of the market,leaving Apple Pay struggling make inroads（进军市场）.I have recently spent a day in Hangzhou,home to Alibaba,to see how easy to was to go cashless,and I found it somewhat ahead of other cities,including Beijing.I rode buses and subways,which all accept Alipay.I visited a major Buddhist temple,where visitors can make donations with their phones.I even listened to the sad tunes of a woman performing music in the street for change--for a scan of a QR code placed beside the change box to the exact.Mobile Payments greatly improve transactional（交易的）efficiency.When doing business, people don't have to worry about getting take money,or having to carry change.All this is a rapid and somewhat surprising development in a country where,a couple of decades ago,it wasn't even clear that credit cards were going to catch on.The platforms also came up with a technical fix:by using the cellular networks smartphones use,they bypassed the often-unreliable data networks used by credit card payment terminals.As a result,after several years of growth,credit card use in China began to deeline around2008.Mobile payments have also addressed a deeper problem:a general lack of trust in Chinese society."When we created Alipay in2003,we did it to resolver the issue of trust among people. And by resolving the issue of trust,we've also resolved the issue of payment,"says the manager of Ant Financial,a company in cooperation with Alibaba.Ant Financial's subsidiaries（子公司）include Sesame Credit,which rates people's credit based on their online shopping and payment records.It also runs Mybank,an online bank which extends commercial loans to qualified borrowers.Ant-Financial's vision is that when Chinese people have credit,they will have wealth.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.我一直相信一个人睡眠充足了才能更好地抵御负面情绪。

However,the truth is that non-choosy people may also make their quick decisions,and rationalize them to make them fit,even if it wasn't the best decision in the first place.Section B VocabularyDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.10分A.claimedB.evacuateC.fabricsD.regularE.significantlyF.sinkG.rainstorms H.similar I.initially J.swallowing K.thought“It was a wave of water,”says Oulimata Sambe.She points out the still-sodden(湿透的) armchairs,muddy wardrobe and the water stain a metre and a half up the wall in her small house in Ngor,a fishing village within Dakar,the capital of Senegal.“I had two grandkids on my bed,I had to(31)______them out of the window,”she adds.Not faraway,underpasses on Dakar's scenic corniche(滨海路)became car-(32)______lakes.Just weeks earlier another downpour had turned quiet streets in Dakar into raging rivers and collapsed a section of motorway.(33)______events regularly occur across the region.Recent flooding and landslides also killed eight people in Freetown,the capital of Sierra Leone.In June flooding killed12people in Abidjan,the commercial capital of Ivory Coast.Floods in Lagos,Nigeria’s commercial capital, (34)______another seven lives.Even when they are not deadly,city floods ruin lives and livelihoods.Storm water recently flooded the biggest textile(纺织业)market in Kano,a city in northern Nigeria,destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars’worth of(35)______.Unusually heavy rains have become(36)______more common over the past30years, leaving huge numbers of people at risk.In places this is partly because of deforestation.A recent study by Christopher Taylor of the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology,a research institute, and his coauthors found that afternoon(37)______in deforested parts of coastal west Africa happen twice as often compared with30years ago.Their frequency went up by only about a third in places that kept their forests.Yet(38)______flooding of cities in west Africa is not only caused by heavier rain.Unplanned urbanization is also to blame.As cities have grown,builders have thrown up concrete walls with little(39)______about providing drainage,making it harder for water to find a clear path to the sea.As ever larger areas have been paved over,there has been less exposed soil into which water can gently(40)______away.And as cites get more packed with new arrivals,their few functioning drains get overwhelmed or clogged.III.Reading Comprehension45分Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.15分When Harry told me that he was leaving the company,one of the first things he said to me was that he didn’t like emotional goodbyes.I have decided to take him at his word.Everything you will hear me say tonight is straightforward and___41___,just like the man himself.Harry has been in the finance departent for seven years.In that time,he has not done anything remotely___42___.I asked several people if they had anecdotes(轶事)about him,and the best they could come up with is that he once accidentally changed a formula in the annual budget spreadsheet.Since the___43___was quickly spotted and fixed,it had no impact at all.Will Harry be___44___?Not at all,though for reasons that he may not fully grasp.This is an evening in which the person who is leaving receives presents(as well as a card from people whose names you don't recognize but who just loved working with you).But the___45___goes both ways.The leavers have a parting gift of their own to present:a convenient scapegoat(替罪羊).When someone dies,the convention is not to speak ill of the departed.When an employee ___46___a company,it's the opposite.Things that don't work as well as they should can be laid at the door of someone who won't___47___.Frustrations that have been suppressed can finally be blamed on someone.When we speak of you,we will say things like“Harry had many strengths but...",and we will___48___ourselves that you held us back a bit.This will not be true,but it will be___49___.I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that we are grateful for this___50___ act of service,which can last for as long as a year after someone has actually left the building. After that,memories tend to fade.I wish I could promise you that you are part of company folklore,or that your role in banning plastic straws from the office will ring through the ages. ___51___,the only guarantee I can give is that no one here will ever read your exit-interview notes.This may all seem a little___52___.You have spent many years at the company,and yet will probably___53___.But in spite of that,you should still feel___54___in your time here.To have done your work well and to leave at a time of your choosing are achievements that are beyond most people.So please raise your glasses to Harry.He has been an excellent colleague and won't really be___55___.41.A.off the guard B.to the point C.in the swing D.on the horizon42.A.funny B.impressive C.correct

D.blamedSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinjshed statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.22分AWorth nearly$ltrn,Facebook is the world’s sixth-most-valuable company.Its revenues have grown by56%in the past year,and its share price by more than a quarter.Nearly3bn people use its products every month.Why did such a successful company change its name as Meta?The likely official reason for the rebranding is that the firm has outgrown the social network that Mark Zuckerberg started17years ago in a Harvard dorm.Today it includes other social apps (Instagram,WhatsApp,Messenger)and video hardware(Oculus,Portal).It has launched a digital wallet(Novi)and may yet offer a currency(Diem).Mr Zuckerberg expects people eventually to associate his firm more with the“metaverse”(元字宙),a virtual space for work play and more, than with social media.Facebook wouldn't be the first tech giant to do so.In2015Google set up Alphabet,a holding company for the search engine and its many side projects.Under this model,Facebook would become just another app within a wider family,though by far it has been the biggest earner.There is another possible motive for a makeover.For all its financial success,the Facebook brand has become tarnished.The social network is blamed for fueling everything from teenage anorexia(厌食症)to uprising at the US Capitol.Public trust in it is lower than in most tech giants, and falling.Although two years ago the firm started branding its apps as being“from Facebook”, its new smart glasses,which can record video and take phone calls,feature only the logo of its partner,Ray-Ban.A former employee revealed that Facebook was trying to cover up a drop in young American users.Mr Zuckerberg himself has been a reason for much of the criticism of Facebook,and of bossy tech firms more generally.As the all-powerful founder,he has a higher profile than his opposite numbers at TikTok,YouTube and other social networks.Normally,a brand facing a reputational crisis might dump its unpopular CEO.But Mr Zuckerberg’s position is immovable, which may explain why he would want to dump the brand instead.56.Facebook changed its name because________.A.it wanted people to associate its name with universeB.it was trying to follow the fashion led by GoogleC.it expected to expand its business to a wider rangeD.its former name has brought bad reputation to the company57.What can we know about Facebook?A.It was founded by Zuckerberg in Harvard's dormitory.B.It has a positive influence on teenagers’mind and actions.C.It is as popular among young people in the US as it was.D.It produced smart glasses with two companies’logos on it.58.What does the underlined word“tarnished”mean in the passage?A.distinguishedB.abandonedC.globalizedD.spoiled59.This passage probably appears in________.A.a science reviewB.a business magazineC.a technical reportD.the website of FacebookBThe Pros and Cons of Napping●Daytime resting:helpful or harmful?Getting some sleep,even a short afternoon nap,may seem like a good thing for people with sleep disorders.But for those with insomnia and an already decreased desire to sleep at night, midday shut-eye can actually be counterproductive.So before you curl up on the couch this afternoon,consider whether your quick fix might backfire when you lie down in bed tonight.●Trouble sleeping at nightIf you have insomnia,naps present a problem,even if you feel tired during the day.Napping during the day can perpetuate bad sleep habits for people with temporary sleep issues caused by stress,illness,or jet lag too.“Even just a little bit of a power nap reduces your night time sleep drive,”says Ralph Downey III,PhD,director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Califoria.“The nap becomes nothing more than another episode of fragmented sleep.”●Getting through the dayIf you don't have a problem getting your z’s at night,a quick nap can work wonders to pull you through a tiresome or sleep-deprived day.In fact,a2008study found that a45-minute daytime nap can improve memory function.And previous studies have found that naps can lower blood pressure.Those who suffer from narcolepsy or shift-work syndrome may also benefit from daytime naps,says James Wyatt,PhD,director of the Sleep Disorders Service and Research Center at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.●Fatigue could be a warning signIf you're constantly fighting the urge to sleep during the day and falling asleep instantly at night,you might have obstructive sleep apnea,a condition in which you stop breathing while you sleep.In this case,naps won't help.By wearing a continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) machine that flows oxygen through your nose,however,you'll likely sleep more soundly and wake refreshed whether from a good night's rest or a quick catnap.60.If you suffer from insomnia________.A.midday shut-eye may be helpfulB.a short afternoon nap is probably a good thingC.napping during the day is considered a good habitD.a little bit of a power nap decreases your night time sleep desire61.A quick nap can be beneficial for common people except those________.A.who have a problem falling into sleep at nightB.whose memory is not good enoughC.who suffer from shift-work syndromeD.whose blood pressure is too high62.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.naps are helpful for those who have obstructive sleep apneaB.more oxygen through your nose might improve sleep qualityC.a45-minute daytime nap can be beneficial for those with insomniaD.a quick nap can pull everyone through a sleep-deprived dayCDelivering life-saving drugs directly to the brain in a safe and effective way is a challenge for medical providers.One key reason:the blood-brain barrier,which protects the brain from tissue-specific drug delivery.Methods such as an injection or a pill aren't as precise or immediate as doctors might prefer,and ensuring delivery right to the brain often requires invasive risky techniques.A team of engineers from Washington University in St.Louis has developed a new nanoparticle generation-delivery method that could someday vastly improve drug delivery to the brain,making it as simple as a sniff.“This would be a nanoparticle nasal spray,and the delivery system could allow medicine to reach the brain within30minutes to one hour,”said Ramesh Raliya,research scientist at the School of Engineering&Applied Science.“The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from foreign substances in the blood that may injure the brain,”Raliya said.“But when we need to deliver something there,getting through that barrier is difficult and invasive.Our non-invasive technique can delivel drugs via nanoparticles so there’s less risk and better response times.”The novel appronch is based on aerosol(气落胶)science and enginecring principles that allow the gencation of monodisperse nanoparticles,which can deposit on upper regions of the nasal cavity via spread.The nanoparticles were tagged with markers,allowing the researchers to track their movement.Next,researchers exposed locusts’antenna(触角)to the aerosol,and observed the nanoparticles travel from the antennas up through the olfactory nerve,which is used to sense the smell.Due to their tiny size,the nanoparticles passed through the brain-blood barrier,reaching the brain and spreading all over it in a matter of minutes.The team tested the concept in locusts because the blood-brain barriers in the insects and humans have similarities.“The shortest and possibly the easiest path to the brain is through your nose,”said Barani Raman,associate professor of biomedical engineering.“Your nose,the olfactory bulb and then olfactory cortex:two steps and you’ve reached the cortex.”To determine whether or not the foreign nanoparticles disrupted normal brain function,Saha examined the physiological response of olfactory neurons in the locusts before and after the nanoparticle delivery and found no noticeable change in the electrophysiological responses was detected.“This is only a beginning of a set of studies that can be performed to make nanoparticle-based drug delivery approaches more principled”Raman said.The next phase of research involves fusing the gold nanoparticles with various medicines,and using ultrasound to taarget a more precise dose to specific areas of the brain,which would be especially beneficial inbrain-tumor cases.63.This passage is mainly about________.A.a novel method of drug deliveryB.a challenge facing medical staffC.a new medicine treating brain diseasesD.a technique to improve doctors’ability64.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Doctors prefer using methods like an injection to treat diseases.B.Locusts were taggged with markers to track their movement.C.The blood-brain barrier lowers the effectiveness of a pill.D.The medicine could reach the brain within half an hour.65.The researchers focused their study on locusts because________.A.human and locusts have similar structures that protect brain from foreign substances.B.the delivery process consists of the olfactory bulb and the olfactory cortexC.locusts have changeable electrophysiological responses to nanoparticlesD.The shortest and possibly the safest path to the brain is through human’s noses66.________would most be interested in reading this passage.A.A lung cancer patient who needs operation immediatelyB.A college student who majors in medical technologyC.A senior doctor who is about to retireD.A high school teacher who is teaching biologySection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A woman held tightly her phone to her heart,the way a missionary might hold a Bible.She was anxious to take a picture of a stunning bouquet of flowers,but first she had toget through a crowd of others who were doing the same.(67)___________For the34th year,florists were asked to create bouquets that respond to pieces of art on display,from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures.A tower of baby’s breath imitates a waterfall in a nearby painting by Gustav Grunewald.Red flamingo flowers and neon blue sticks echo a surreal portrait of a woman by Salvador Dali.It's amazing and also extremely Instagrammable,to the point that it has become a problem.(68)__________Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their sponsors.So the de Young responded with a kind of agreement:carving out“photo free”hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.A study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is truth to this.It found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering what they saw.(69)__________Linda Butler,the de Young’s head of marketing,communications and visitor experience,acknowledges that not everyone wants amuseum to be“a selfie playland”.Yet a lot of other people do,and her take is that the de Young is in no position to claim that one motivation for buying a$28ticket is more valid than another.If we removed social media and photography,she says,“we should risk becoming irrelevant”.(70)__________On this visit to the museum,most people seemed to treat the photo craze as the new normal.Many politely waited their turn and got out of other people's shots even as visitors bumped into each other in crowded galleries.IV.Summary Writing:10分Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main points)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.It is a common sight on campus or in the streets:a young person rides by on an electric scooter,traveling quickly and proudly.But Beijing's traffic authorities have said that starting on Sept.5,people who are caught riding electric scooters on public roads or bicycle lanes will be fined10yuan.They will also be given a warning not to use the vehicles on public roads again.The announcement was made after traffic police in Shanghai started a campaign to get electric scooters off public roads,with police officers stopping riders because the scooters could cause traffic problems.The Beijing Consumer Association said it had tested more than20electric scooters of different brands recently and found that most had substandard brakes.It added that16 of the tested scooters could go faster than the maximum20km per hour set for electric bikes. According to the traffic police,people who ride electric scooters at certain speeds can easily bump into the vehicles in the vehicle lane and hurt people who walk in the bicycle lanes.But seeing the benefits that electric scooters have brought to young people,experts are worried that the ban may take effect slowly.Electric scooters are a great answer to the“last mile problem of getting from a public transport station to one’s home.They're light enough to throw over your shoulder.They're easy to ride just about anywhere and don't need a lot of physical effort.The scooter can travel25km on one charge.It's convenient and easy to control.They are also good for the environment.Unlike cars and buses.electric scooter produce no carbon dioxide,need no fuel and make almost no noise.For many young people,they use them to copy cool celebrities they have seen in videos.第II卷V.Translation:(3+3+4+5=15’)Directions:Translate the following sentence into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.在场的人都觉得他说的话不能证明他是无辜的。

Instead,each bag came with a small blue packet of salt____24____(shake)over the contents.Murphy started with artificial flavours of cheese and onion.The pairing is a classic,and the flavour combines well with potatoes.“Potatoes,”____25____(write)Seamus Heaney, one of Ireland’s greatest poets,“promise the taste of ground and root”.The ____26____(poetic)might describe them as a bit plain.Sprinkled with the salty umami(鲜味) of Murphy’s seasoning,however,they became a cut-price sensation.Taytos remain the classic Irish crisp,but now they are available elsewhere,____27____, of course,many other brands of flavoured crisps are.That is a mixed blessing.Once upon a time even industrially produced foods had a limited range.To travel was to discover not only the cooking in other places,but the snacks.Going to France was a chance to chug(一饮而尽)a bottle of Orangina,a fizzy drink.For me,Taytos were____28____once-a-year treat, to be eaten on a beach in south-west Ireland shivering after an icy swim or sweating at the top of a mountain.Thanks to a globalised food system and the appetites of homesick migrants,such items are now available far beyond their lands of origin.That shift results in the loss of a modest joy.At first glance a bag of Taytos is the opposite of a seasonal or local food.____29____(enclose)in their silvery plastic,they survive in all seasons and locales.And yet,for me at least,these potato snacks are entangled with their Irish roots.The ingenious seasoning should taste no different____30____I am in a London park or in Murphy’s homeland.But somehow it does.(B)Are you afraid of getting old?____31________31________31____we get past the age of25,many of us immediately feel the urge to stop the signs of ageing—especially the visible ones.Men and women are now using topical“anti-ageing”creams,spa treatments and medical procedures____32____(counter)many of them.____33____these methods can somewhat affect the way you look,ageing is an internal process.A new study has found exactly when during your lifetime this process peaks.A group of scientists based out of the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that____34________34____being a smooth,continuous process,ageing surges forward at three distinct stages of life:first,at the age of34,then at age60,and finally at78.The study,published in Nature Medicine,reveals that scientists can not only predict your age by studying the proteome(protein levels in the blood)but also determine which organs are ageing faster than____35________35____,and which age-related diseases your body is more likely to develop.The study measured plasma proteins(血浆蛋白) collected from4,263adults between the ages of18-95years and studied the changes in the proteome that occurred with age.Their ultimate goal was to understand how to identify the changes associated with cardiovascular issues and age-related diseases like Alzheimer's____36________36____ therapeutic treatments can be devised to counter their onset while there's still time.Dr Tony Wyss-Coray,one of the leading members of the study,told Stanford Medicine News Center,“We've known for a long time that____37____(measure)certain proteins can give you information about a person's health status—lipoproteins(脂蛋白)for cardiovascular(心血管的)health,for example.But it____38____(not appreciate)that so many different proteins'levels—roughly a third of all the ones we looked at—change markedly with advancing age.”This difference between the chronological(按时间计算的)and physiological(生理的) age,according to the scientists'“plasma-protein clock”,showed that a lot of people in the study seemed younger than they actually are.What's more,the study also confirmed that men and women,though equally____39____(represent)in the study,age differently.Does this mean medications and lifestyle methods,with further research,can also be devised to help____40____ages too rapidly and is at risk of contracting age-related diseases like hypertension and Alzheimer's?You never know.Section B:Directions:Complete the following passages by using the words in the box.Each word can only beIt launched an independent review of security after items including gold jewellery and gems of semiprecious stones and glass dating from the15th century BC to the19th century AD were found to be missing,stolen or damaged.Legal action against the____41____member of staff will be taken and the matter is also being investigated by the economic crime command of the Metropolitan police.George Osborne,the museum’s chair,said:“The trustees of the British Museum were extremely____42____when we learned earlier this year that items of the collection had been stolen.“The trustees have taken____43____action to deal with the situation,working with the team at the museum.We called in the police,imposed emergency measures to increase security,set up an independent review into what happened and lessons to learn,and used all the____44____powers available to us to deal with the individual we believe to be responsible.“Our priority is now threefold:first,to____45____the stolen items;second,to find out what,if anything,could have been done to stop this;and third,to do whatever it takes,with investment in security and collection records,to make sure this doesn’t happen again.“This incident only reinforces the____46____for the reimagination of the museum we have embarked upon.It’s a sad day for all who love our British Museum,but we’re determined to____47____the wrongs and use the experience to build a stronger museum.”Hartwig Fischer,the museum’s director,said:“This is a highly unusual incident.We take the safeguarding of all the items in our care____48____.The museum apologises for what has happened,but we have now brought an end to this–and we are determined to put things right.We have already tightened our security arrangements and we are working alongside outside experts to complete a definitive____49____of what is missing,damaged and stolen.This will allow us to____50____our efforts into our work to ensure the stolen items are returned to the museum.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.I own a market research company,so I understand the importance of gathering data from your target audience and using that data in order to make product development.I also know that surveys can provide____51____information that's extremely valuable to our clients.But the quality of the data you get as an output from surveys is only as strong as how well you____52____the survey questions.One of the main pitfalls I see teams make is writing leading questions that might get the company results they want to hear,but those results are not always____53____.Below are common ways I've seen companies ask leading questions and how to avoid them:1.Don't make assumptions for your participants.“How well do you think we delivered on your project?”implies your team did a good job.To make it more objective,____54____to ask,“How did we deliver on your project?”It's a subtle change,but the second question takes out the implicit bias.2.Balance the options from which participants can choose.Let's say you want to know the level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction customers have with your product or service.If you ask this in a multiple-choice format,you need to ensure the____55____is balanced for both positive and negative responses.The following options, for example,would not work:•Extremely satisfied•Very satisfied•Satisfied•Somewhat unsatisfied•UnsatisfiedAs a rule of thumb,if you have“extremely”on the positive end,you should have “extremely”on the negative side as well,and give a(n)____56____option in the middle of the scale.3.Don't'lead the witness'(or participant).Again,if you're seeking____57____(and you should have started with knowing why you're conducting the survey in the first place),you don't want to put statements in front of a question that will lead participants to____58____in a certain way.____59____,my company works a lot with educational technology companies.We would never write a question such as this:“Most of the people who use this educational technology product say that the adaptive and personalized nature of the product is better than others on the market.What do you think?”This is because,now,the participant knows exactly what we want them to think.4.Avoid double-barrel questions.Be mindful about including two questions in one and____60____how a participant can respond.Say you ran an event for customers;you wouldn't want to ask,“What do you think about the location and the quality of the speakers?”and then have multiple choice options where they are really only able to respond to one question.They might have loved the venue but hated your presenters.The____61____of the data you gather is compromised when you put questions together.5.Don't write coercive questions.These questions don't sit well.In my experience,they tend to come up more in customer ____62____surveys and employee surveys when you really want to be able to highlight the positives.Examples of coercive questions include:"You'll leave us a positive Google Review,won't you?""You'll tell your friends to visit our restaurant,right?"Naturally,these are full of bias,so they should be avoided____63____.Know what the goals of your survey are.If you want to get data that____64____biases, yes,leading questions can help you get those data points.But the integrity of the data cannot be trusted when you're not writing questions in a(n)____65____way for your participants to answer.51. A.quantitative B.controversial C.mysterious D.proper52. A.craft B.pave C.tempt D.anchor53. A.delightful B.dominant C.accurate D.independent54. A.repeat B.rephrase C.restore D.refresh55. A.portion B.category C.thread D.scale56. A.random rmative C.sacred D.neutral57. A.instinct B.gratitude C.truth D.harmony58. A.reverse B.respond C.deny pete59. A.In addition B.For instance C.After all D.Above all60. A.limiting B.spilling C.inserting D.distracting61. A.integrity B.endurance C.exploitation D.highlight62. A.discrimination B.satisfaction C.transition D.perseverance63. A.on good terms B.by no means C.at all costs D.to some extent64. A.conserves B.entitles C.seals D.includes65. A.isolated B.objective C.selected D.reflectiveSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In winter,Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo,though why anyone would wantto go there in winter is a question worth considering.It is on the edge of the world,the northernmost town in Europe,a place of dark and fierce winters,where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.I wanted to see the Northern Lights...but now as l picked my way through Oslo in late December.I was beginning to have my doubts.Things had not started well.I had overslept at the hotel,missing breakfast,and had to leap into my clothes.I couldn't find a taxi and had to drag my over-weighted bag eight blocks to the central bus station.I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveller's cheques to pay the1,200-kroner bus fare------they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Bryson on my traveller's cheques were both me-and now here l was arriving at the station two minutes before departure...and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.'This isn't happening,'I said.'I'm still at home in England enjoying Christmas...'Actually,I said, 'There must be some mistake.Please look again.'The girl studied the passenger list.'No,Mr Bryson,your name is not here.'But I could see it,even upside-down.'There it is,second from the bottom.''No,'the girl decided,'that says Bernt Bjornson.That's a Norwegian name.''It doesn't say Bernt Bjorson.It says Bill Bryson.Look at the y,the two ls.Miss,please,’But she wouldn't have it.'If I miss this bus,when does the next one go?''Next week at the same time.'Oh,splendid.'Miss,believe me,it says Bill Bryson.''No,it doesn't.''Miss,look,I've come from England.I'm carrying some medicine that could save a child's life.' She didn't buy this.'l want to see the manager.''He's in Stavanger.''Listen,I made a reservation by telephone.If I don't get on this bus,I'm going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects for the rest of this century.'This clearly did not alarm her.Then it struck me.'If this Bemt Bjorson doesn't show up,can l have this seat?''Sure.'Why don't I think of these things in the first place...?'Thank you,'I said...66.What can be learned from the passage about Hammerfest?A.It is located in the South of the city of Oslo.B.It is where the Northern Lights can be seen.C.It remains a town without sufficient power supply.D.It remains in the darkness from November till next March.67.The writer got to the station just two minutes before the train's departure because he spent much time_____.A.cashing his traveller's chequesB.finding a place to have breakfastC.waiting for a taxi to send him thereD.choosing suitable clothes to wear68.By“Oh,splendid”,the writer meant that he actually felt_____.A.puzzledB.amazedC.worriedD.relieved69.Why did the writer say he was carrying some medicine and he would write to the manager?A.To tell the girl what he really wanted to do.B.To show the girl how angry he was with her.C.To warn the girl of the potential consequences.D.To persuade the girl to give him a seat on the bus.(B)Care for a zoom-in observation of animals with no bars between you and the observed as opposed to ordinary zoos?Where to have close-up encounters with some of the world’s most rare animals？We are revealing for you：1.Right whales,Bay of Fundy,CanadaNorthern right whales are on the brink of extinction,but survivors arrive in the Bay of Fundy each summer(May through October)to feed east of Grand Manan Island.They are recognized by a broad back and no dorsal fin,which distinguish them from other whales entering the bay.Planning:Whale-watching tours operate out of Digby Neck peninsula on Nova Scotia and nearby islands,such as Brier Island.St.Andrews.Grand Manan Island.and Deer Island.2.Grizzly bears,AlaskaGrizzlies like salmon.In mid-July and again in mid-August,grizzlies make for Alaskan rivers to hook out the fish with their formidable claws.The bears gather in large numbers at rapids and pools,sometimes fighting for the best sites.Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park,and Fish Creek, near Hyder,have viewing platforms.Planning:Most fishing sites are reached by chartered light aircraft and a hike.Hyder is off the Swart-Cassiar Highway.3.Monarch butterflies,Sierra Chincua,MexicoEach fall,millions of North American monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to the oyalmel fir forests of the Transvolcanic Mountain Range,in the state of Mchoacdn.They flock intimately(closely)on tree trunks,bushes,and on the ground,fully showing their gregarious natureand occupy Sierra Chincua and four neighbouring hills that make up the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.Planning:Chineua is one of two hills in the reserve open to the public from November through March.4.Komodo dragons,Komodo Island,IndonesiaLanding on Komodo,you would feel like stepping back to a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth,as park maps reported,“Here be dragons!”This mountainous volcanic island is home to the world's largest living lizard---the Komodo dragon.Weighing79to91kg.the Komodo dragon has a tail as long as its body.You can hike to a viewpoint at Banugulung and watch as park rangers feed food to the lizards,some of which are more than10ft(3m)long.Planning:Komodo is reached solely by boat from Bima(on eastern Sumbawa)or Labuan Bajo (on western Flores).5.Wildebeest migration,Serengeti,TanzaniaUndoubtedly the world's most spectacular wildlife sight is the annual wildebeest migration, when1.4million wildebeest and200,000zebras and gazelles are on the move across the Serengeti plains.The animals are trekking to chase the clean water and fresh grass.Along the way,lions and hyenas stalk them,and crocodiles lie in wait.Planning:The herds migrate across Tanzania from December through July,and then pass through the Masai Mara in Kenya in August and September.70.The underlined word gregarious is closest in meaning to________________.A.being able to climbB.preferring group livingC.migrating in small numbersD.moderate in temper71.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.Right whales are distinguished from other whales by unique appearance features.B.Viewing spots for grizzly bears are accessible by air and on foot.C.Komodo Island is located east of Flores and West of SumbawaD.Wildebeest herds travel to pursue favourable food conditions.72.Li Hua is an adventurous visitor longing for closer look at animals.He is taking a gap year and doing voluntary work now in Indonesia.He will go back to China and further his study next fall. Which of the following will be the most reasonable wildlife-watching route after he finishes his voluntary work this winter?A.Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→SerengetiB.Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy→Sierra ChincuaC.Bay of Fundy→Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→AlaskaD.Sierra Chincua→Serengeti→Alaska→Bay of Fundy(C)Many Americans harbor a false and exaggerated view of most of the risks surrounding food. Fergus Clydesdale,head of the department of food science and nutrition at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst,points out that if the dangers from bacterially polluted chicken were as great as some people believe,“the streets would be littered with people lying here and there.”Though the public increasingly demands no-risk food,there is no such thing.Bruce Ames, chairman of the biochemistry department at the University of California,Berkeley,points out that up to10%of a plant’s weight is made up of natural pesticides.Says he:“Since plants do not have jaws or teeth to protect themselves,they employ chemical warfare.”And many naturally produced chemicals,though occurring in tiny amounts,prove in laboratory tests to be strong carcinogens-a substance which can cause cancer.Mushrooms might be banned if they were judged by the same standards that apply to food additives.Declares Christina Stark,a nutritionist at Cornell University:“We’ve got far worse natural chemicals in the food supply than anything man-made.”Yet the issues are not that simple.While Americans have no reason to be terrified to sit down at the dinner table,they have every reason to demand significant improvements in food and water safety.They unconsciously and unwillingly take in too much of too many dangerous chemicals.If food already contains natural carcinogens,it does not make much sense to add dozens of new man-made ones.Though most people are subject to the small amounts of pollutants generally found in food and water,at least a few individuals will probably get cancer one day because of what they eat and drink.To make good food and water supplies even better,the Government needs to tighten its regulatory standards,enhance its inspection program and strengthen its enforcement policies.The food industry should modify some long-accepted practices or turn to less risky alternatives.Perhaps most important,consumers will have to do a better job of learning how to handle and cook food properly.The problems that need to be tackled exist all along the food-supply chain,from fields to processing plants to kitchens.73.What does the author think of the Americans’view of their food?A.They overstate the government’s interference with the food industry.B.They are overoptimistic about the safety of their food.C.They overestimate the risk of the food they eat.D.They overlook the potential danger caused by the food.74.The author considers it impossible to obtain no-risk food because________.A.no food is free from pollution in the environmentB.pesticides are widely used in agricultureC.many vegetables contain dangerous natural chemicalsD.almost all foods have hazardous additives75.By saying“they employ chemical warfare”(Para.2),Bruce Ames means“________”.A.plants produce certain chemicals to resist pests and diseasesB.plants absorb useful chemicals to promote their growthC.farmers use man-made chemicals to dissolve the natural chemicals in plantsD.farmers use chemicals to protect plants against pests and diseases76.What is the message the author wants to convey in the passage?A.Eating and drinking have become more dangerous than before due to additives.B.Sweeping measures must be taken immediately to ensure safety in food industry.C.Healthy food is a distant dream in the modern society,remaining to be realized.D.There is reason for caution but no cause for alarm with regard to food consumption.Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.They differ in how they space the syllables in a sentence.B.Unlike other languages,English is unusually rich in consonant(辅音)clusters.C.French-speakers are familiar with a U.S.city called yoos-TON,not the English HYOO-ston.D.In“civilisation”the primary and secondary stress is on the4th and1st syllable respectively.E.There is much more to learning a foreign accent than the sounds that the letters on the page represent.F.As with chemistry,the important thing is not just how the elements behave in isolation,but how they cometogether.Why you have an accent in a foreign languageOpen a textbook for a foreign language,the first thing you see is an alphabet,listing the lettersand the sounds they represent.This is obviously crucial for unfamiliar systems,say those of Greek or Russian.But even for languages that rely on the Latin alphabet,the guide will explain how accentmarks change a letter’s pronunciation,and strange features such as the-gl-in Italian.And with that,it’s off to master greetings,vocabulary and so on,with little further thought for pronunciation.This is a shame.____87____To begin with,the rough equivalents given in Englishare often quite rough indeed.In French,the p in Paris sounds rather different from the p in English,a contrast often neglected in textbooks:the French version lacks the strong puff of air of the Englishone.Even when textbooks or instructors mention this sort of difference,the next step is often missing.____88____Each language has rules for these combinations,which native speakers generally grasp but don’t or can’t explain.。

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)It is hardly necessary for me to cite all the evidence of the depressing state of literacy. These figures from the Department of Education are sufficient: 27 million Americans cannot read at all. and a further 35million read at a level that is less than sufficient to survive in our society.But my own worry today is less that of the overwhelming problem of elemental literacy than it is of the slightly more luxurious problem of the decline in the skill even of the middle-class reader, of his unwillingness to afford those spaces of silence, those luxuries of domesticity and time and concentration, that surround the image of the classic act of reading. It has been suggested that almost 80 percent of America's literate, educated teenagers can no longer read without an accompanying noise (music) in the background or a television screen shinning at the corner of their field of perception. We know very little about the brain and how it deals with simultaneous conflicting input, but every common-sense intuition suggests we should be profoundly alarmed. This violation of concentration, silence, solitude (独处的状态) goes to the very heart of our notion of literacy; this new form of part-reading, of part-perception against background distraction makers impossible certain essential acts of comprehension and concentration, let alone that most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves, which is to learn it by heart. Not by brain. by heart; the expression is vital.Under these circumstances, the question of what future there is for the arts of reading is a real one. Ahead of us lie technical, psychic(⼼理的), and social transformations probably much more dramatic than those brought about by Gutenberg, the German inventor in printing. The Gutenberg revolution, as we now know it, took a long time; its effects are still being debated. The information revolution will touch every fact of composition, publication, distribution, and reading. No one in the book industry can say with any confidence what will happen to the book as we've known it.56. The picture of the reading ability of the American people, drawn by the author, is__________.A. rather bleakB. fairly brightC. very impressiveD. quite encouraging57. The author's biggest concern is____________________.A. elementary school children’s disinterest in reading classicsB. the surprisingly low rate of literacy in the U.S.C. the musical setting American readers require for readingD. the reading ability and reading behavior of the middle class58. A major problem with most adolescents who can read is________________.A. their fondness of music and TV programsB. their ignorance of various forms of art and literatureC. their lack of attentiveness and basic understandingD. their inability to focus on conflicting input59. The author claims that the best way a reader can show admiration for a piece of poetry or prose is___________________.A. to be able to appreciate it and memorize itB. to analyze its essential featuresC. to think it over conscientiouslyD. to make a fair appraisal of its artistic value(B)NEWS FROM PENN GSE1.

The air they breathe is more than six times as polluted as what is considered safe. The new study was the first to make a global estimate of pollution exposure. It shows that almost 90 percent of the world's children---2 billion--- live in places where outdoor air pollution levels are dangerously high.UNICEF warmed that these levels of global air pollution have contributed to 600, 000 child deaths a year. Children are far more likely to be harmed by air pollution than adults are, UNICEF said. So, UNICEF urged nations to cut fossil fuel burning rapidly. Fossil fuels, such as coal and gas, are the main source of air pollution. "The danger caused by air pollution is enormous, "said Anthony Lake, UNICEF's executive director. " No society can afford to ignore air pollution. We protect our children when we protect the quality of our air, both of which are central to our future.’’Air pollution is the world's single biggest environmental health risk, according to the World Health Organization(WHO), and is getting worse, with levels of poisonous air rising 8% in the last five years. More than 3 million people a year die as a result of outdoor air pollution -six every minute on average and this is set to double by 2050 as fast growing cities expand. Indoor air pollution, mainly from wood stoves. causes another 3 million deaths a year.Meanwhile, children are especially at risk, the UNICEF report says, because they breathe more rapidly than adults and their lungs take in more pollutant particles. the he tiny particles can also cross the blood-brain barrier, which is less resistant in children. Once they do they can permanently harm brain development. Even the unborn are affected, as the particles taken in by a pregnant woman can injure a child in the womb Children in poor countries are doubly at risk, scientist Jos said. Their bodies are often already weakened by not getting enough to eat, and available health care is often inadequate. Of the 300 million children exposed to levels of pollution six times above what is considered safe, 220 million live in South Asia India in particular hosts many of the worlds most polluted cities. Moreover, figures reveal a striking disparity in five-year cancer survival rates for children in air polluted areas compared with those from developed countries.UNICEF urged all countries to cut air pollution by reducing fossil fuel burning in power plants and vehicles. It also recommended that schools and playgrounds not be located near sources of pollution, such as busy roads and factories. In addition, it called for the use of less-polluting cooking stoves.63. Which one of the following statements is WRONG according to the text?A. Pollution in the air can pose a threat to children’s brain growthB. Heavy air pollution can even hurt the babies that are still not born.C. A majority of children all across the world cannot breathe clean airD. Through countries' efforts, the situation of air pollution is improving64. What does disparity in paragraph 5 most probably mean?A. distinctionB. disturbanceC. discomfortD. disengagement65. In order to have clean air, UNICEF suggestedA. government should aim for a reduction in power plants and trafficB. careful decisions on the locations and structures of schools are neededC. fossil fuel is an extra feature that is likely to bring along some benefitsD. cooking stoves that contribute little to air pollution should be used66. What can be the title of the passage?A. Air Pollution, a Factor Fatal to LifeB. Efforts to Pull Countries out of PollutionC. Children, More Affected by Air PollutionD. Warmings from UNICEF Against Air PollutionSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Paleontology is the study of the history of life on Earth. It focuses on fossils, which are the remains of plants, animals and other living things that have been replaced by rock material or whose impressions have been preserved in rock.(67)____________________________________.Individual fossils may contain information about an organism's life and environment. For example, each ring on the surface of an oyster shell shows one year of its life. Studying oyster fossils can help paleontologists discover how long the oyster lived, and in what conditions. If the climate was favorable for the oyster, the oyster probably grew more quickly and the rings would be thicker. If the oyster struggled for survival, the rings would be thinner.(68)____________________________________. Amber(琥珀)，for instance, is hardened，fossilized tree resin 树脂). As the sticky resin dripped down a tree trunk, it trapped small insects and some organisms as large as frogs and lizards. Paleontologists study amber to observe these complete specimens. Amber can preserve tissue as delicate as dragonfly wings. The behavior of organisms can also be inferred from fossil evidence. For instance, paleontologists suggest that duck-billed dinosaurs called hadrosaurs lived in large numbers. They reached this conclusion after observing a single site with approximately 10,000 hadrosaur skeletons.(69)____________________________________.For instance paleontologists have concluded that whales evolved from land-dwelling animals. Fossils of extinct animals closely related to whales have front limbs similar to front legs. They even have tiny back limbs. Although the front limbs of these fossil animals are in some ways similar to legs, in other ways they also show strong similarities to the fins of modem whales.Modern paleontologists have a variety of tools that help them discover, examine and describe fossils Electron microscopes allow paleontologists to study the tiniest details of the smallest fossils(70)________________________________________.Advanced computer programs can analyze fossil data and reconstruct skeletons. They can be used to visualize the bodies and movements of extinct organisms Paleontologistsstill make important discoveries with simple tools. Around the world, many are digging away, hoping to shed new light on the evolution of life on Earth.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The Smell of MoneyFor many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their stores. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma(芳⾹) consultants, has been approached by Barclays Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the smell of money will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the bank’s security and professionalism. But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks' air conditioning systems it must be identified and chemically analysed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmongers will smell of fish, and banknotes used topay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food.It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even car maker Rolls-royce has been spraying the inside f its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats.‘The sense of smell is probably the most basic of all human senses, explains researcher Jim certain smells stirring memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants can match. O’Riordan. "There is a direct pathway from the nose to the brain. It is certainly true that most people find phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to use.“We’ve made great progress but the technology of aroma production is till in its infancy,’’ says Oriordan. “Who knows where it will take us.”V.
