Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please markthe corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more thanonce.When considering risk factors associated with serious chronic diseases, we often think about health indicators such as cholesterol, blood pressure, and body weight. But poor diet and physical inactivity also each increase the risk of heart disease and have a role to play in the development of some cancers. Perhaps worse, the 26 effects of an unhealthy diet and insufficient exercise are not limited to your body. Recent research has also shown that 27 in a high-fat and high-sugar diet may have negative effects on your brain, causing learning and memory 28 .Studies have found obesity is associated with impairments in cognitive functioning, as 29 by a range of learning and memory tests, such as the ability to remember a list of words presented some minutes or hours earlier. There is also a growing body of evidence that diet-induced cognitive impairments can emerge 30 - within weeks or even days. For example, one study found healthy adults 31 to a high-fat diet for five days showed impaired attention, memory, and mood compared with a low-fat diet control group. Another study also found eating a high-fat andhigh-sugar breakfast each day for as little as four days resulted in problems with learning and memory 32 to those observed in overweight and obese individuals.Body weight was not hugely different between the groups eating a healthy diet and those on high fat and sugar diets. So this shows negative 33 of poor dietary intake can occur even when body weight has not changed 34 . Thus, body weight is not always the best indicator of health and a thin person still needs to eat well and exercise 35 .A)assessedB)assignedC)consequencesD)conspicuouslyE)deficitsF)designatedG)detrimentalH)digestionI)excellingJ)indulgingK)loopholesL)rapidlyM)redundantN)regularlyO)similarSection BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of theparagraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is markedwith a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2.Increased Screen Time and Wellbeing Decline in Youth[A] Have young people never had it so good? Or do they face more challenge than any previousgeneration? Our current era in the west is one of high wealth. This means minors enjoy material benefits and legal protections that would have been the envy of those living in the past. But there is an increasing suspicion that all is not well for our youth. And one of the most popular explanations, among some experts and the popular media, is that excessive “screen time” is to blame. (This refers to all the attention young people devote to their phones, tablets and laptops). However, this is a contentious theory and such claims have been treated skeptically by some scholars based on their reading of the relevant data.[B] Now a new study has provided another contribution to the debate, uncovering strongevidence that adolescent wellbeing in the United States really is experiencing a decline and arguing that the most likely cause is the electronic riches we have given them. The background to this is that from the 1960s into the early 2000s，measures of averagewellbeing went up in the US. This was especially true for younger people. It reflected the fact that these decades saw a climb in general standards of living and avoidance of mass societal traumas like full-scale war or economic deprivation. However, the “screen time”hypothesis, advanced by researchers such as Jean Twenge, is that electronic devices and excessive time spent online may have reversed these trends in recent years, causing problems for young people's psychological health[C] To investigate, Twenge and her colleagues dived into the “Monitoring the Future” datasetbased on annual surveys of American school students from grades 8, 10, and 12 that started in 1991. In total, 1.1 million young people answered various questions related to their wellbeing. Twenge’s team’s analysis of the answers confirmed the earlier, well-established wellbeing climb, with scores rising across the 1990s, and into the later 2000s. This was found across measures like self-esteem, life satisfaction, happiness and satisfaction with individual domains like job, neighborhood, or friends. But around 2012 these measures started to decline. This continued through 2016, the most recent year for which data is available.[D] Twenge and her colleagues wanted to understand why this change in average wellbeingoccurred. However, it is very hard to demonstrate causes using non-experimental data such as this. In fact, when Twenge previously used this data to suggest a screen time effect, some commentators were quick to raise this problem. They argued that her causal-sounding claims rested on correlational data, and that she had not adequately account for other potential causal factors. This time around, Twenge and her team make a point of saying that they are not trying to establish causes as such, but that they are assessing the plausibility of potential causes.[E] First, they explain that if a given variable is playing a role in affecting wellbeing, then weshould expect any change in that variable to correlate with the observed changes in wellbeing. If not, it is not plausible that the variable is a causal factor. So the researchers looked at time spent in a number of activities that could plausibly be driving the wellbeing decline. Less sport, and fewer meetings with peers correlated with lower wellbeing, as did less time reading print media (newspapers) and, surprisingly, less time doing homework.(This last finding would appear to contradict another popular hypothesis that it is our burdening of students with assignments that is causing all the problems). In addition, more TV watching and more electronic communication both correlated with lower wellbeing.All these effects held true for measures of happiness, life satisfaction and self-esteem, with the effects stronger in the 8th and 10th-graders[F] Next, Twenge’s team dug a little deeper into the data on screen time. They found thatadolescents who spent a very small amount of time on digital devices-a couple of hours a week-had the highest wellbeing. Their wellbeing was even higher than those who never used such devices. However, higher doses of screen time were clearly associated with lower happiness. Those spending 10-19 hours per week on their devices were 41 percent more likely to be unhappy than lower-frequency users. Those who used such devices 40 hours a week or more (one in ten of teenagers) were twice as likely to be unhappy. The data was slightly complicated by the fact that there was a tendency for kids who were social in the real world to also use more online communication, but by bracketing out different cases it became clear that the real-world sociality component correlated with greater wellbeing,whereas greater time on screens or online only correlated with poorer wellbeing.[G] So far, so plausible. But the next question is, are the drops in average wellbeing happeningat the same time as trends toward increased electronic device usage? It looks likes it-after all, 2012 was the tipping point when more than half of Americans began owning smartphones. Twenge and her colleagues also found that across the key years of 2013-16, wellbeing was indeed lowest in years where adolescents spent more time online, on social media, and reading news online, and when more youth in the United States had smartphones. And in a second analysis, they found that where technology went, dips in wellbeing followed. For instance, years with a larger increase in online usage were followed by years with lower wellbeing, rather than the other way around. This does not prove causality, but is consistent with it. Meanwhile, TV use did not show this tracking.TV might make you less happy, but this is not what seems to be driving the recent declines in young people’s average happiness.[H] A similar but reversed pattern was found for the activities associated with greater wellbeing.For example, years when people spent more time with friends were better years for wellbeing (and followed by better years). Sadly, the data also showed face-to-face socializing and sports activity had declined over the period covered by the survey.[I] There is another explanation that Twenge and her colleagues wanted to address: the impactof the great recession of 2007-2009, which hit a great number of American families and might be affecting adolescents. The dataset they used did not include economic data, so instead the researchers looked at whether the 2013-16 wellbeing decline was tracking economic indicators. They found some evidence that some crude measures, like income inequality, correlated with changes in wellbeing, but economic measures with a more direct impact, like family income and unemployment rates (which put families into difficulties) , had no relationship with wellbeing. The researchers also note that the recession hit some years before we see the beginning of the wellbeing drop, and before the steepest wellbeing decline, which occurred in 2013.J) The researchers conclude that electronic communication was the only adolescent activity that increased at the same time psychological wellbeing declined. I suspect that some experts in the field will be keen to address alternative explanations, such as unassessed variables playing a role in the wellbeing decline. But the new work does go further than previous research and suggests that screen time should still be considered a potential barrier to young people’s flourishing36. The year when most Americans began using smartphones was identified as a turning pointin young Americans’ level of happiness.37. Scores in various wellbeing measures began to go downward among young Americans inrecent years.38. Unfortunately, activities involving direct contact with people, which contributed to betterwellbeing, were found to be on the decline.39. In response to past critics, Twenge and her co-researchers stress they are not trying to provethat the use of digital devices reduces young people’s wellbeing40. In the last few decades of the 20th century, living standards went up and economicdepressions were largely averted in the US.4l. Contrary to popular belief, doing homework might add to students’ wellbeing.42. The author believes the researchers’ new study has gone a step further regarding the impactof screen time wellbeing.43. The researchers found that extended screen time makes young people less happy.44. Data reveals that economic inequality rather than family income might affect people’swellbeing.45. Too much screen time is widely believed to be the cause of unhappiness among today’syoung people.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.“The dangerous thing about lying is people don’t understand how the act changes us,” says Dan Ariely, behavioural psychologist at Duke University. Psychologists have documented children lying as early as the age of two. Some experts even consider lying a developmental milestone, like crawling and walking, because it requires sophisticated planning, attention and the ability to see a situation from someone else’s perspective to manipulate them. But, for most people, lying gets limited as we develop a sense of morality and the ability to self-regulate.Harvard cognitive neuroscientist Joshua Greene says, for most of us, lying takes work. In studies, he gave subjects a chance to deceive for monetary gain while examining their brains in a functional MRI machine, which maps blood flow to active parts of the brain. Some people told the truth instantly and instinctively. But others opted to lie, and they showed increased activity in their frontal parietal (颅腔壁的) control network, which is involved in difficult or complex thinking. This suggests that they were deciding between truth and dishonesty-and ultimately opting for the latter. For a follow-up analysis, he found that people whose neural(神经的) reward centers were more active when they won money were also more likely to be among the group of liars-suggesting that lying may have to do with the inability to resist temptation.External conditions also matter in terms of when and how often we lie. We are more likely to lie, research shows when we are able to rationalise it, when we are stressed and fatigued or see others being dishonest. And we are less likely to lie when we have moral reminders or when we think others are watching. “We as a society need to understand that, when we don’t punish lying, we increase the probability it will happen again,” Ariely said.In a 2016 study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, Ariely and colleagues showed how dishonesty alters people’s brains, making it easier to tell lies in the future. When people uttered a falsehood, the scientists noticed a burst of activity in their amygdala. The amygdala is a crucial part of the brain that produces fear, anxiety and emotional responses-including that sinking, guilty feeling you get when you lie. But when scientists had their subjects play a game in which they won money by deceiving their partner, they noticed the negative signals from the amygdala began to decrease. Not only that, but when people faced no consequences for dishonesty, their falsehoods tended to get even more sensational. This means that if you give people multiple opportunities tolie for their own benefit, they start with little lies which get bigger over time.46. Why do some experts consider lying a milestone in a child’s development?A) It shows they have the ability to view complex situations from different angles.B) It indicates they have an ability more remarkable than crawling and walking.C) It represents their ability to actively interact with people around them.D) It involves the coordination of both their mental and physical abilities47. Why does the Harvard neuroscientist say that lying takes work?A) It is hard to choose from several options.B) It is difficult to sound natural or plausible.C) It requires speedy blood flow into one’s brain.D) It involves lots of sophisticated mental activity.48. Under what circumstances do people tend to lie?A) When they become too emotional.B) When they face too much peer pressure.C) When the temptation is too strong.D) When the consequences are not imminent49. When are people less likely to lie?A) When they’re worn out and stressed.B) When they are under watchful eyes.C) When they think in a rational way.D) When they have a clear conscience.50. What does the author say will happen when a liar does not get punished?A) They may feel justified.B) They will tell bigger lies.C) They will become complacent.D) They may mix lies and truths.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Here’s how the Pacific Northwest is preparing for “The Big One”. It’s the mother of all disaster drills for what could be the worst disaster in American history. California has spent years preparing for “The Big One”- the inevitable earthquake that will undoubtedly unleash all kinds of havoc along the famous San Andreas fault(断层). But what if the fault that runs along the Pacific Northwest delivers a gigantic earthquake of its own? If the people of the Cascadia region have anything to do with it, they won’t be caught unawares.The region is engaged in a multi-day earthquake-and-tsunami (海啸) drill involving around 20,000 people. The Cascadia Rising drill gives area residents and emergency responders a chance to practice what to do in case of a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami along one of the nation’s dangerous-and underestimated-faults.The Cascadia Earthquake Zone is big enough to compete with San Andreas (it’s been called the most dangerous fault in America), but it’s much lesser known than its California cousin. Nearly 700 miles long, the earthquake zone is located by the North American Plate off the coast of Pacific British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California.Cascadia is what’s known as a “megathrust” fault. Megathrust are created in earthquake zones-land plate boundaries where two plates converge. In the areas where one plate is beneath another, stress builds up over time. During a megathrust event, all of that stress releases and some of the world’s most powerful earthquakes occur. Remember the 9.1 earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean off Sumatra in 2004? It was caused by a megathrust event as the India plate moved beneath the Burma micro-plate.The last time a major earthquake occurred along the Cascadia fault was in 1700, so officials worry that another event could occur any time. To prevent that event from becoming a catastrophe, first responders will join members of the public in rehearsals that involve communication, evacuation, search and rescue, and other scenarios.Thousands of casualties are expected if a 9.0 earthquake were to occur. First, the earthquake would shake metropolitan areas including Seattle and Portland. This could trigger a tsunami that would create havoc along the coast. Not all casualties can necessarily be prevented-but by coordinating across local, state, and even national borders, officials hope that the worst-case scenario can be averted. On the exercise’s website, officials explain that the report they prepare during this rehearsal will inform disaster management for years to come.For hundreds of thousands of Cascadia residents, “The Big One” isn’t a question of if, only when. And it’s never too early to get ready for the inevitable.51. What does “The Big One” refer to?A) A gigantic geological fault.B) A large-scale exercise to prepare for disasters.C) A massive natural catastrophe.D) A huge tsunami on the California coast.52. What is the purpose of the Cascadia Rising drill?A) To prepare people for a major earthquake and tsunami.B) To increase residents’ awareness of imminent disasters.C) To teach people how to adapt to post-disaster life.D) To cope with the aftermath of a possible earthquake.53. What happens in case of a megathrust earthquake according to the passage?A) Two plates merge into one.B) Boundaries blur between plates.C) A variety of forces converge.D) Enormous stress is released.54. What do the officials hope to achieve through the drills?A) Coordinating various disaster-relief efforts.B) Reducing casualties in the event of a disaster.C) Minimizing property loss caused by disasters.D) Establishing disaster and emergency management.55. What does the author say about “The Big One”?A) Whether it will occur remains to be seen.B) How it will arrive is too early to predict.C) Its occurrence is just a matter of time.D) It keeps haunting Cascadia residents.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

You are required to select one word foreach blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passagethrough carefully before making your choices.

But even without gadgets that understand our spokencommands, research suggests that, as bizarre as it sounds, under certain 26 , people regularly ascribehuman traits to everyday objects.Sometimes we see things as human because we are 27 . In one experiment, people who reportedfeeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute 28 to various gadgets. In turn, feeling close toobjects can 29 loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they had been 30 in a socialsetting, they compensated by exaggerating their number of friends—unless they were first given tasksthat caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. According to the researchers,the participants' phones 31 substituted for real friends.At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study foundthat three infour respondents yelled at their computer. Further, the more their computer gave them problems, themore likely the respondents were to report that it had its own “beliefs and 32 .”So how do people assign traits to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide facesare 33 with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as moredominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them—especially in 34 situations. Ananalysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with gills (护栅) that were upturned like smiles soldbest.

Eachstatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which theinformation is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with aletter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.[A] Though he didn't come from a farming family, from a young age Tim Joseph was fascinated by theidea of living off the land. Reading magazines like The Stockman Grass Farmer and Graze, he gothooked on the idea of grass-fed agriculture. The idea that all energy and wealth comes from the sunreally intrigued him He thought the shorter the distance between the sun and the end product, thehigher the profit to the farmer.[B] Joseph wanted to put this theory to the test. In 2009, he and his wife Laura launched Maple HillCreamery, an organic, all grass-fed yogurt company in northern New York. He quickly learned what themarket has demonstrated: Demand for grass-fed products currently exceeds supply. Grass-fed beef isenjoying a 25-30% annual growth rate. Sales of grass-fed yogurt and kefir (发酵乳饮品) on the otherhand, have in the last year increased by over 38%. This is in comparison with a drop of just under 1% inthe total yogurt and kefir market according to natural and organic market research company SPINS.Joseph's top priority became getting his hands on enough grass-fed milk to keep customers satisfied,since his own 64-cow herd wasn't going to suffice[C] His first partnership was with Paul and Phyllis Amburgh, owners of the Dharma Lea farm in NewYork. The Amburghs, too, were true believers in grass-fed. In addition to supplying milk from their own85-head herd, they began to help other farmers in the area convent from conventional to certifiedorganic and grass-fed in order to enter the Maple Hill supply chain. Since 2010, the couple has helped125 small dairy farms convert to grass-fed, with more than 80% of those farms coming on boardduring the last two years.[D] All this conversion has helped Maple Hill grow 40-50% every year since it began with no end insight. Joseph has learned that a farmer has to have a certain mindset to successfully convert. Butconvincing open-minded dairy people is actually not that hard, when you look at the economics.Grass-fed milk can fetch up to 2.5 times the price of conventional milk. Another factor is the squeezethat conventional dairy farmers have felt as the price of grain they feed their cows has gone up,tightening their profit margins. By replacing expensive grain feed with regenerative managementpractices, grass-fed farmers are insulated from jumps in the price of feed. These practices includegrazing animals on grasses grown from the pastureland's natural seed bunk, and fertilized by the cows'own fertilizer[E] Champions of this type of regenerative grazing also point to its animal welfare, climate and healthbenefits: Grass-fed animals live longer out of confinement. Grazing herds stimulate microbial (微生物的)activity in the soil, helping to capture water and separate carbon. And grass-fed dairy and meat havebeen shown to be higher in certain nutrients and healthy fats.[F] In the grass fed system, farmers are also not subject to the wildly fluctuating milk prices of theinternational commodity market. The unpredictability of global demand and thelag-time it takes toadd more cows to a herd to meet demand can result in events like the recent cheese surplus. Goinggrass-fed is a safe refuge, a way for family-scale farms to stay viable. Usually a farmer will get to thepoint where financially, what they're doing is not working. That's when they call Maple Hill. If the farmis well managed and has enough land, and the desire to convert is sincere, a relationship can begin.Through regular regional educational meetings, a large annual meeting, individual farm visits andthousands of phone calls, the Amburghs pass on the principles of pasture management. Maple Hillsigns a contract pledging to buy the farmer's milk at a guaranteed base price, plus quality premiumsand incentives for higher protein, butter fat and other solids.[G] While Maple Hill's conversion program is unusually hands on and comprehensive, it's just one of agrowing number of businesses committed to slowly changing the way America farms.Joseph callss culture.'sharing his knowledge network through peer-to-peer learning a core piece of the companyLast summer, Massachusetts grass-fed beef advocate John Smith launched Big Picture Beef, a networkof small grass-fed beef farms in New England and New York that is projected to bring to market 2,500head of cattle from 125 producers this year. Early indications are that Smith will have no shortage offarm members. Since he began to informally announce the network at farming conferences and onsocial media, he's received a steady stream of inquiries from interested farmers. [H] Smith says he'll provide services ranging from formal seminars to on-farm workshops on holistic(整体的) management, to one-on-one hand-holding and an almost 24/7 phone hotline for farmers whoare converting. In exchange, he guarantees an above-market price for each animal and acalf-to-customer electronic ear tag ID system like that used in the European Union. [1] Though advocates portray grass fed products as a win-win situation for all, they do have downsides.Price, for one, is an issue. Joseph says his products are priced 10-20% above organic versions, butdepending on the product chosen, compared to non-organic conventional yogurt, consumers couldpay a premium of 30-50% or more for grass-fed. As for the meat, Smith says his grass-fed hamburgerwill be priced 20-25% over the conventional alternative. But a look at the prices on online grocer FreshDirect suggests a grass-fed premium of anywhere from 35-60%，[J] And not every farmer has the option of going grass-fed. For both beef and dairy production itrequires, at least in the beginning, more pastureland. Grass-fed beef production tends to be morelabor-intensive as well. But Smith counters that if you factor in the hidden cost of government cornsubsidies, environment degradation, and decreased human heath and animal welfare, grass-fed is themore cost-effective model. “The sun provides the lowest cost of production and the cheapest meat,”he says.[K] Another grass-fed booster spurring farmers to convert is EPIC, which makes meat-based proteinbars. Founders Taylor Collins and his wife, Katie Forrest, used to be endurance athletes; now they'readvocates of grass-fed meat. Soon after launching EPIC'S most successful product - the Bison BaconCranberry Bar - Collins and Forrest found they'd exhausted their sources for bison (北美野牛) raisedexclusively on pasture. When they started researching the supply chain, they learned that only 2-3% ofall bison is actually grass-fed. The rest is feed-lot confined and fed grain and corn. [L] But after General Mills bought EPIC in 2016, Collins and Forrest suddenly had the resources theyneeded to expand their supply chain. So the company teamed up with Wisconsin-based rancherNorthstar Bison. EPIC fronted the money for the purchase of $2.5 million worth of young bison that willbe raised according to its grass-fed protocols, with a guaranteed purchase price. The message toyoung people who might not otherwise be able to afford to break into the business is,“You canpurchase this $3 million piece of land here, because I'm guaranteeing you today you'll have 1,000bison on it.' We're bringing new blood into the old, conventional farming ecosystem,which is reallycool to see,”Collins explains.36. Farmers going grass-fed are not affected by the ever-changing milk prices of the global market.37. Over the years, Tim Joseph's partners have helped many dairy farmers to switch to grass-fed.38. One advocate believes that many other benefits should be taken into consideration when weassess the cost-effectiveness of grass-fed farming.39. Many dairy farmers were persuaded to switch to grass-fed when they saw its advantage in terms ofprofits.40. Tim Joseph's grass-fed program is only one example of how American farming practice ischanging.41. Tim Joseph was fascinated by the notion that sunlight brings energy and wealth to mankind.42. One problem with grass-fed products is that they are usually more expensive than conventionalones.43. Grass fed products have proved to be healthier and more nutritious.44. When Tim Joseph started his business, he found grass-fed products fell short ofdemand.45. A snack bar producer discovered that the supply of purely grass-fed bison met was scarce.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A）, B）, C）and D）. You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Schools are not just a microcosm(缩影) of society: they mediate it too. The best seek to alleviate theexternal pressures on their pupils while equipping them better to understand and handle the worldoutside-- at once sheltering them and broadening their horizons. This is ambitious in anycircumstances. and in a divided and unequal society the two ideals can clash outright(直接地).Trips that many adults would consider the adventure of a lifetime-treks in Borneo, asports tour toBarbados-appear to have become almost routine at some state schools. Parents are being asked forthousands of pounds. Though schools cannot profit from these trips, the companies that arrange themdo. Meanwhile, pupils arrive at school hungry because their families can't afford breakfast. The ChildPoverty Action Group says nine out of 30 in every classroom fall below the poverty line. Thediscrepancy is startlingly apparent. Introducing a fundraising requirement for students does not help,as better-off children can tap up richer aunts and neighbours.Probing the rock pools of a local beach or practising French on a language exchange can fire children's passions, boost their skills and open their eyes to life's possibilities. Educational outings help brightbut disadvantaged students to get better scores in A-level tests. In this globalised age, there is a goodcase for international travel. and some parents say they can manage the cost of a school trip abroadmore easily than a family holiday. Even in the face of immense and mounting financial pressures. someschools have shown remarkable determination and ingenuity in ensuring that all theirpupils are ableto take up opportunities that may be truly life-changing. They should be applauded. Methods such aswhole-school fundraising. with the proceeds(收益) pooled, can help to extend opportunities and fuelcommunity spirit.But ￡3,000 trips cannot be justified when the average income for families with children is just over￡30,000. Such initiatives close doors for many pupils. Some parents pull their children out of schoolbecause of expensive field trips. Even parents who can see that a trip is little more than a party orcelebration may well feel guilt that their child is left behind.The Department for Education's guidance says schools can charge only for board and lodging if thetrip is part of the syllabus, and that students receiving government aid are exempt from these costs.However, many schools seem to ignore the advice; and it does not cover the kind of glamorous, exotictrips. which are becoming increasingly common. Schools cannot be expected to bring togethercommunities single-handed. But the least we should expect is that they do not fosterdivisions andexclude those who are already disadvantaged.46. What does the author say best schools should do?A) Prepare students to both challenge and change the divided unequal society.B) Protect students from social pressures and enable them to face the world.C) Motivate students to develop their physical as well as intellectual abilities.D) Encourage students to be ambitious and help them to achieve their goals.47. What does the author think about school field trips?A) They enable students from different backgrounds to mix with each other.B)They widen the gap between privileged and disadvantaged students.C) They give the disadvantaged students a chance to see the world.D) They only benefit students with rich relatives and neighbours.48. What does the author suggest can help build community spirit?A) Events aiming to improve community services.B) Activities that help to fuel students' ingenuity.C) Events that require mutual understanding.D) Activities involving all students on campus.49. What do we learn about low-income parents regarding school field trips?A) They want their children to participate even though they don't see much benefit.B) They don't want their kids to participate but find it hard to keep them from going.C) They don't want their kids to miss any chance to broaden their horizons despite the cost.D)They want their children to experience adventures but they don't want them to run risks,50. What is the author's expectation of schools?A) Bringing a community together with ingenuity.B) Resolving the existing discrepancies in society.C) Avoiding creating new gaps among students.D) Giving poor students preferential treatment.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Rising temperatures and overfishing in the pristine(未受污染的) waters around the Antarctic could seeking penguin populations pushed to the brink of extinction by the end of the century, according to anew study. The study's report states that as global warming transforms the environment in the world's last great wilderness, 70 percent of king penguins could either disappear or be forced to find newbreeding grounds.Co-author Céline Le Bohec, from the University of Strasbourg in France, warned:“If there're no actionsaimed at haling or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human- induced changessuch as climate change and overfishing stays the same, the species may son disappear.”The findingscome amid growing concern over the future of the Antarctic. Earlier this month a separate study foundthat a combination of climate change and industrial fishing is threatening the krill (磷虾) population inAntarctic waters, with a potentially disastrous impact on whales, seals and penguins. But today'sreport is the starkest warning yet of the potentially devastating impact of climate change and humanexploitation on the Antarctic's delicate ecosystems.Le Bohec said: “Unless current greenhouse gas emissions drop, 70 percent of king penguins - 1.1million breeding pairs - will be forced to relocate their breeding grounds, or face extinction by 2100.”King penguins are the second-largest type of penguin and only breed on specific isolated islands inthe Southern Ocean where there is no ice cover and easy access to the sea. As the ocean warms, a bodyof water called the Antarctic Polar Front - an upward movement of nutrient-rich sea that supports ahuge abundance of marine life - is being pushed further south, This means that king penguins, whichfeed on fish and krill in this body of water, have to travel further to their feeding grounds, leaving theirhungry chicks for longer. And as the distance between their breeding grounds and their food grows,entire colonies could be wiped out.Le Bohec said:“The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warning about the future of the entiremarine environment in the Antarctic. Penguins, like other seabirds and marine mammals, occupyhigher levels in the food chain and they are what we call bio-indicators of their ecosystems. Penguinsare sensitive indicators of changes in marine ecosystems. As such, they are key species forunderstanding and predicting impacts of global change on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marineecosystems. The report found that although some king penguins may be able to relocate to newbreeding grounds closer to their retreating food source, suitable new habitats would be scarce. Only ahandful of islands in the Southern Ocean are suitable for sustaining large breeding colonies.51. What will happen by 2100, according to a new study?A)King penguins in the Antarctic will be on the verge of dying out.B)Sea water will rise to a much higher level around the Antarctic.C) The melting ice cover will destroy the great Antarctic wilderness.D) The pristine waters around the Antarctic will disappear forever.52. What do we learn from the findings of a separate study?A)Shrinking krill population and rising temperatures could force Antarctic whales to migrate.B)Human activities have accelerated climate change in the Antarctic region in recent years.C)Industrial fishing and climate change could be fatal to certain Antarctic species.D)Krill fishing in the Antarctic has worsened the pollution of the pristine waters.53. What does the passage say about king penguins?A) They will turn out to be the second-largest species of birds to become extinct.B) Many of them will have to migrate to isolated islands in the Southern Ocean.C) They feed primarily on only a few kinds of krill in the Antarctic Polar Front.D) The majority of them may have to find new breeding grounds in the future.54. What happens when sea levels rise in the Antarctic?A) Many baby king penguins can't have food in time.B) Many king penguins could no longer live on krill.C) Whales will invade king penguins' breeding grounds.D) Whales will have to travel long distances to find food.55. What do we learn about the Southern Ocean?A)The king penguins there are reluctant to leave for new breeding grounds.B)Its conservation is key to the sustainable propagation of Antarctic species.C)It is most likely to become the ultimate retreat for species like the king penguin.D)Only a few of its islands can serve as huge breeding grounds for king penguins.

2019 年12 月六级第二套听力原文及答案Section ALong Conversation 1Man: Today our guest is Rosie Melinda (Q1) who works as a features editor forFashion magazine. Hi Rosie, you're a features editor at one of the most widely read women's magazines in the U.K. What kind of responsibilities does that job entail?Woman: We spend our days looking at ideas from journalists, writing copy forthe magazine and website and editing. We do random things like asking people inthe street questions and testing sports clothing. We also do less tangible things like understanding what our readers want. It's certainly varied and sometimes bizarre.Man: During your working day what kind of work might you typically do?Woman: My day mainly incorporates responding to emails (Q2), writing and editing stories and coming up with new feature ideas.Man: How does the job of features editor differ from that of fashion editor orother editorial positions?Woman: The feature's team deals with articles such as careers, reports, confidence and confessions. Everything except to fashion and beauty.Man: A lot of people believe that working at a magazine is a glamorous job(Q3).Is this an accurate representation of what you do?Woman: I'd say it's glamorous to an extent, but not in the way it's portrayed in films. We dohave our moments such as interviewing celebrities and attending parties which is a huge thrill. Ultimately though, we're the same as our readers. But working in a job we're all very lucky to have.Man: Did you have to overcome any difficulties to reach this point in your career? How did you manage to do this?Woman: I had to be really persistent and it was very hard work. After three years of working in a petrol station and doing unpaid work I still hadn't managed to get an entry level job. I was lucky that my last desperate attempt led to a job (Q4). I told myself that all experiences make you a better journalist in the long run and luckily, I was right.Q1: What is the woman's profession?Q2: What is one of the woman's main responsibilities?Q3: What do many people think about the woman's job?Q4: What helped the woman to get her current position?Long Conversation 2:Woman: Are you watching any good shows these days?Man: Actually, yes. I'm watching a great satire (Q5) called Frankie. I think you'd like it.Woman: Really? What's it about?Man: It's about a real guy named Frankie. He is a famous comedian in New York and shows a mixture of comedy and drama loosely depicting his life.Woman: I'm sorry, do you mean to say, it's a real-life series about a real person?It's non-fiction, isn't it?Man: No ⋯Not really, no. It's fiction, as what happens in every episode is made up. However the lead role is a comedian by the name of Frankie, and he plays himself. So Frankie in both real life and in the TV show lives in New York City, is a comic, is divorced, and has two little daughters. All those things are true, but aside from him, all his friends and family are played by actors. And the plots and the events that take place are also invented.Woman: Oh, I think I see now. That sounds like a very original concept.Man: Yes, it is. In fact, (Q6) the whole show is written, directed, edited and produced by him, and (Q5)is very funny and has won many awards.Woman: That's cool. I will try to download it. (Q7) I'm watching a comedy calledThe Big Bang Theory. It's a huge hit around the world.Man: Oh yes. I've heard of it, but never actually watched it.Woman: Well, then you should check it out. It's also very funny. It's about four male scientists and a female waitress. The men are very socially awkward but very bright. And this is contrasted by the lady's social skills and common sense.(Q8) The show has been running for over ten years, and some of the actors are practically global super stars. Now that they are such famous celebrities.Q5: What does the man think of the satire Frankie he recently watched?Q6: What does the man say especial about the satire Frankie?Q7: What does the woman say she is going to do with the satire Frankie?Q8: What does the woman say about the comedy The Big Bang Theory?Section BPassage 1Related to the ‘ use-it-or-lose- it law ' is the ‘ keep- moving principle ' . We learned about stagnation from nature. A river that stops moving gets smelly. The same thing happens to people who stop moving, either mentally or physically. Those who play contact sports know that [9] the player who usually gets hurt the most is the one who is standing still. Of course, you ' ll need some time to catch your breath every so often, but the essential massage is keep moving, extending and learning. Ships last a lot longer when they go to sea than when they stay in the harbor. The same is true for the airplanes. You don't preserve an airplane by keeping it on the ground, you preserve it by keeping it in service. We also get to live a long healthy life by staying in service. [10] Longevity statistics reveal that the average person doesn't last very long after retirement. The more we ' ll hear is donIf a fellow says “ I ' m 94 years old and I worked all mylife ” , we need to realize,that is how he got to be 94, by staying involved. George Bernard Shaw won a Nobel Prize when he was nearly 70. Benjamin Franklin produced some of his best writings at the age of 84, and Pablo Picasso put brush to canvas right through his eighties.Isn ' t he issue how old we think we are? [11] A bonus with the ‘ keep-movingprinciple is that while we keep moving, we don t have a chance to worry. Hencewe avoid the dreaded paralyses by analysis.Q9. What does the speaker say about players of contact sports?Q10. What do longevity statistics reveal about the average person?Q11. What bonus does the keep moving principle bring us according to the speaker?Passage 2In 2014, one in sixteen Americans visited the hospital emergency room for home injuries. One of the main causes of these accidents? A wandering mind! [12] By one estimate, people daydream through nearly half of their waking hours. Psychologists have recently focused on the tendency to think about something other than the task one is doing. For one experiment, [13] researchers developed an app to analyze the relationship between daydreaming and happiness. They found that the average person ' s mind wandered most frequently about 65% of the time during personal activities, such as brushing their teeth and combing their hair. Respondents ' minds tended to wander more when they felt upset rather than happy. They were more likely to wander toward pleasant topics than unpleasant ones. How do daydreams affect daydreamers? A wandering mind leaves us vulnerable when driving. In one study, researchers interview 955 people involved in traffic accidents, the majority of them reported having daydream just before the accident. Yet other research suggests that daydreaming has benefits. [14] Researches have found that it gives us a chance to think about our goals and it also seems to increase creativity. In one experiment, 145 undergraduates completed fourunusual uses tasks, each requiring them to list as many uses as possible for everyday object. After the first pair of tasks was completed, one group of participants was assigned an undemanding activity intended to cause their minds to wander. When all the participants proceeded to the second pair of tasks, [15] the daydreamers performed 40% better than the others.Q12: What does the passage say about people ' s mind?Q13: For what purpose did the researchers develop the new app?Q14: How does daydreaming benefit people according to some researchers?Q15: What was the finding of the experiment with 145 undergraduates?Section CRecording 1Dating from as far back as the 12th century, they are claimed to be the raresthistoric buildings in western Europe. These buildings offer vital insight into Scandinavia ' s Viking past. But now, with only 30 wood en churches remaining[16]and their condition deteriorating, experts are working to preserve the structures for future generations.Some of these spectacular churches are no more than small buildings, barely 4meters wide and 6 meters tall. Others are much larger structures. They soar up to40 meters into the cold air. [17] Most consist of timber frames that rest on stone blocks. This means that they have no foundations. Although many of the churches appear from the outside to be complex structures, they normally feature only a single storey but numerous different roof levels.Staff from the Norwegian government have carried out conservation work on10 of the churches over the past two years. Most of these churches date frombetween the 12th and 14th centuries. Other churches were conserved in previousyears. So far, specialists have worked to add preservative materials to the churchesexteriors. They also replaced rotting roots and halted the sinking of the churchesinto the ground. In two cases, huge machines have been used to lift the buildingsup to 30 centimeters into the air. This was accomplished so that the team couldexamine and repair the churches ' original medieval stone blocks. The team plansto return to around a dozen of the buildings to assess progress and consider further action.The earliest free-standing wooden church was probably built in Norway inaround 1080. However, the largest known wooden churches were built from the1130s onwards. This period was one of inter-elite rivalry, in which nobles sought toincrease their influence by funding the construction of churches and other buildings.The reason for constructing the buildings from wood is probably that ideallyproportioned straight and [18] slender timber was available in large quantities inScandinavia ' s vast pine forests. As wood was so plentiful, it was cheaper to usethan the stone used in the buildings of other European cultures. The area ' s building tradition, partly established by the Vikings, also meant that sophisticated carpentry was a major aspect of the local culture. The complex style of the medieval wooden church carvings and the skills used to make them almost certainly to derive from the ancient Viking tradition.Q16. What does the speaker say about the Viking wooden churches?Q17. What is special about most of the Viking wooden churches?Q18. Why were the Viking churches constructed from wood?Recording 2In last week ' s lecture, we discussed the characteristics of the newly bornoffspring of several mammals. You probably remember that human infants are lessdeveloped physically than other mammals of the same age. But [19] in today ' s lecture, we ' ll look at three very interesting studies that hint at surprising abilitiesof human babies.In the first study, three-year-olds watch two videos shown side by side. Eachfeaturing a different researcher, one of whom they ' d met once two years earlier.The children spend longer watching the video showing the researcher they hadnmet. This is consistent with young childr en ' s usual tendency to look longer at things that aren ' t familiar. And really this is amazing. It suggests the children remember the researcher they ' vem et just one time when they were only one - year-olds. Of course, as most of us forget memories from our first few years as we grow older, this early long-turn memories will likely be lost in subsequent years.Our second study is about music, for this study researchers play music to babies through speakers located on either side of a human face. They waited until the babies got bored and inverted their gaze from the face. And then they change the mood in the music either from sad to happy or the other way around. This mood switch made no difference to the three-month-olds; but for the nine-month-olds, it was enough to renew their interest and they started looking again in the direction of the face. [20] This suggests that babies of that age can tell the difference between a happy melody and a sad tune.Our final study is from 1980, but it ' s still rele Ivna fnatc t o, da[y2.1] it ' s oneof the most famous pieces of research about infant emotion ever published. The study involved ordinary adults watching video clips of babies nine months or younger. In the video clips, the babies made various facial expressions in response toreal life events including playful interactions and painful ones. The adult observers were able to reliably discern an assortment of emotions on the babies faces. These emotions included interest, joy, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust, contempt, and fear.Next week, we ' ll be looking at this last study more closely. In fact, we will beviewing some of the video clips from that study. And together, see how well we do in discerning the babies ' emotions.Q19: What are the three interesting studies about?Q20: What does the second study find about nine-month-old babies?Q21: What is the 1980 study about?Recording 3Today I ' d like to talk about the dangers of being too collaborative. Being a good team player is a central skill in our modern workplace. The ability to work wellwith others and collaborate on projects is a sought-after ability in nearly every position. However, placing too much emphasis on being a good team player [22] can negatively affect your career growth. Don ' t be overly focused on gaining consensus. Don ' t be too concerned with the opinions of others. This can hinderyour ability to make decisions, speak up and gain recognition for your individual skills and strengths. Some people are too subordinate to others 'o pinions, too focused on decision consensus, too silent about their own point of view, too agreeable to take things on when they don ' t have time or energy. This leads to building a brand of underconfident, submissive, low-impact non-leaders and hampers their growth and career advancement.[23] Collaboration certainly makes your individual competencies and contributions more difficult for outsiders to identify. Collaborative projects meanyou ' re sharing the spotlight with others. Outsiders may then find it difficult todetermine your contributions and strengths. This may end up costing youopportunities for promotions or pay raises. You certainly shouldn ' t ditchteamwork, but how can you avoid the hazards of being an over-collaborator?Working in a team can have huge benefits. Your team may have repeated successes and often gain recognition.[24] You then have more opportunities to expand your professional network than if you worked alone. However, finding a balance between team efforts and individual projects that give you independentrecognition is important for making a name for yourself and providing opportunities for advancement.Be selective in who you work with. This will maximize the benefits and minimizethe downsides of being a team player. Collaborate with people who have complementary expertise. Select projects where there ' sp otential for mutualbenefit. Perhaps you ' rber inging your unique knowledge and gaining access tosomeone else ' s professional network, or maybe you ' re able to learn a new skillby working with someone. Seek out your teammates purposefully rather than jumping on every new group project opportunity. [25] When we ' re too collaborative, we want everyone to agree with a decision before we proceed. This can create unnecessary delays as you hold meetings trying to achieve consensus.It ' s fine to be collaborative when seeking input. But put a deadline on the inputt have cons stage and arrive at a decision, even if it ' s a decision that doesn 'Q22. What does the speaker say about being over collaborative?Q23.

2019 年12 月大学英语六级考试真题完整版（第三套）Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on theimportance of having a sense of community responsibility. You should write at least 150 wordsbut no more than 200 words.Part n Listening Comprehension (25 minutes)暂无Part n I Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying —first it was your phone, then yourcar, and now you can tell your kitchen appliances what to do. But even without gadgets that understand our spoken commands, research suggests that, as bizarre as it sounds, under certain 26 , people regularly ascribe human traits to everyday objects.Sometimes we see things as human because we are 27 . In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute 28 to various gadgets. In turn, feeling close to objects can 29 loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they had been 30 in a social setting, they compensated by exaggerating their number of friends —unl were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities.According to the researchers, the participants' phones 31 substituted for real friends.At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents yelled at their computer. Further, the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely the respondents were to report that it had its own “ beliefs and 32 So how do people assign traits to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are 33 with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them —especially in 34 situations.An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with gills ( 护栅) that were upturned like smiles sold best. The purchasers saw this 35 as increasing a car's friendliness.A) alleviateB) apparentlyC) arrogantD) associatedE) circumstancesF) competitiveG) concededH) consciousnessI) desiresJ) excludedK) featureL) lonelyM) separateN) spectacularlyO) warrantSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.[A] Though he didn ' t come from a farming family, from a young age Tim Joseph was fascinated by the idea of living off the land. Reading magazines like The Stockman Grass Farmer and Graze, he got hooked on the idea of grass-fed agriculture. The idea that all energy and wealth comes from the sun really intrigued him He thought the shorter the distance between the sun and the end product, the higher the profit to the farmer.[B] Joseph wanted to put this theory to the test. In 2009, he and his wife Laura launched Maple Hill Creamery, an organic, all grass-fed yogurt company in northern New York. He quickly learned what the market has demonstrated: Demand for grass-fed products currently exceeds supply. Grass- fed beef is enjoying a 25-30% annual growth rate. Sales of grass-fed yogurt and kefir ( 发酵乳饮品) on the other hand, have in the last year increased by over 38%. This is in comparison with a drop of just under 1% in the total yogurt and kefir market according to natural and organic market research company SPINS. Joseph ' s top priority became getting his hands on enough grass-fed milk to keep customers satisfied, since his own 64-cow herd wasn ' t going to suffice[C] His first partnership was with Paul and Phyllis Amburgh, owners of the Dharma Lea farm in New York. The Amburghs, too, were true believers in grass-fed. In addition to supplying milk from their own 85-head herd, they began to help other farmers in the area convent from conventional to certified organic and grass-fed in order to enter the Maple Hill supply chain. Since 2010, the couple has helped 125 small dairy farms convert to grass-fed, with more than 80% of those farms coming on board during the last two years.[D] All this conversion has helped Maple Hill grow 40-50% every year since it began with no end in sight. Joseph has learned that a farmer has to have a certain mindset to successfully convert. But convincing open-minded dairy people is actually not that hard, when you look at the economics. Grass-fed milk can fetch up to 2.5 times the price of conventional milk. Another factor is the squeeze that conventional dairy farmers have felt as the price of grain they feed their cows has gone up, tightening their profit margins. By replacing expensive grain feed with regenerative management practices, grass-fed farmers are insulated from jumps in the price of feed. These practices include grazing animals on grasses grown from the pastureland ' s natural seed bunk, and fertilized by the cows ' own fertilizer[E] Champions of this type of regenerative grazing also point to its animal welfare, climate and health benefits: Grass-fed animals live longer out of confinement. Grazing herds stimulate microbial （微生物的） activity in the soil, helping to capture water and separate carbon. And grass-fed dairy and meat have been shown to be higher in certain nutrients and healthy fats.[F] In the grass fed system, farmers are also not subject to the wildly fluctuating milk prices of the international commodity market. The unpredictability of global demand and the lag-time it takes to add more cows to a herd to meet demand can result in events like the recent cheese surplus. Going grass-fed is a safe refuge, a way for family-scale farms to stay viable. Usually a farmer will get to the point where financially, what they ' re doing is not working. That ' s when they call Maple H the farm is well managed and has enough land, and the desire to convert is sincere, a relationship can begin. Through regular regional educational meetings, a large annual meeting, individual farm visits and thousands of phone calls, the Amburghs pass on the principles of pasture management.Maple Hill signs a contract pledging to buy the farmer ' s milk at a guaranteed base price, plus quality premiums and incentives for higher protein, butter fat and other solids.[G] While Maple Hill's conversion program is unusually hands on and comprehensive, it ' s justone of a growing number of businesses committed to slowly changing the way America farms. Joseph calls sharing his knowledge network through peer-to-peer learning a core piece of the company ' s culture. Last summer, Massachusetts grass-fed beef advocate John Smith launched Big Picture Beef, a network of small grass-fed beef farms in New England and New York that is projected to bring to market 2,500 head of cattle from 125 producers this year. Early indications are that Smith will have no shortage of farm members. Since he began to informally announce the network at farming conferences and on social media, he ' s received a steady stream of inquiries from interested farmers.[H] Smith says he ' ll provide services ranging from formal seminars to on-farm workshops on holistic （整体的）management, to one-on-one hand-holding and an almost 24/7 phone hotline for farmers who are converting. In exchange, he guarantees an above-market price for each animal and a calf-to-customer electronic ear tag ID system like that used in the European Union.[1] Though advocates portray grass fed products as a win-win situation for all, they do have downsides. Price, for one, is an issue. Joseph says his products are priced 10-20% above organic versions, but depending on the product chosen, compared to non-organic conventional yogurt, consumers could pay a premium of 30-50% or more for grass-fed. As for the meat, Smith says his grass-fed hamburger will be priced 20-25% over the conventional alternative. But a look at the prices on online grocer Fresh Direct suggests a grass-fed premium of anywhere from 35-60% ，[J] And not every farmer has the option of going grass-fed. For both beef and dairy production it requires, at least in the beginning, more pastureland. Grass-fed beef production tends to be more labor-intensive as well. But Smith counters that if you factor in the hidden cost of government corn subsidies, environment degradation, and decreased human heath and animal welfare, grass-fed is the more cost-effective model. “ The sun provides the lowest cost of production and the cheapestmeat, ” he says.[K] Another grass-fed booster spurring farmers to convert is EPIC, which makes meat-based protein bars. Founders Taylor Collins and his wife, Katie Forrest, used to be endurance athletes; now they ' re advocates of grass-fed meat. Soon after launching EPIC ' S most successful product - the Bison Bacon Cranberry Bar - Collins and Forrest found they ' d exhausted their sources for bison ( 北美野牛) raised exclusively on pasture. When they started researching the supply chain, theylearned that only 2-3% of all bison is actually grass-fed. The rest is feed-lot confined and fed grain and corn.[L] But after General Mills bought EPIC in 2016, Collins and Forrest suddenly had the resources they needed to expand their supply chain. So the company teamed up with Wisconsinbased rancher Northstar Bison. EPIC fronted the money for the purchase of $2.5 million worth of young bison that will be raised according to its grass-fed protocols, with a guaranteed purchase price. The message to young people who might not otherwise be able to afford to break into the business is, “ You can purchase this $3 million piece of land here, because I ' m guaranteeing you today yhave 1,000 bison on it. ' We' re bringing new blood into the old, conventional farming ecosystem,which is really cool to see, ” Collins explains.36. Farmers going grass-fed are not affected by the ever-changing milk prices of the global market.37. Over the years, Tim Joseph ' s partners have helped many dairy farmers to switch to grass- fed.38. One advocate believes that many other benefits should be taken into consideration when we assess the cost-effectiveness of grass-fed farming.39. Many dairy farmers were persuaded to switch to grass-fed when they saw its advantage in terms of profits.40. Tim Joseph ' s grass-fed program is only one example of how American farming practice is changing.41. Tim Joseph was fascinated by the notion that sunlight brings energy and wealth to mankind.42. One problem with grass-fed products is that they are usually more expensive than conventional ones.43. Grass fed products have proved to be healthier and more nutritious.44. When Tim Joseph started his business, he found grass-fed products fell short of demand.45. A snack bar producer discovered that the supply of purely grass-fed bison met was scarce. Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Schools are not just a microcosm( 缩影) of society: they mediate it too. The best seek to alleviate the external pressures on their pupils while equipping them better to understand and handle the world outside-- at once sheltering them and broadening their horizons. This isambitious in any circumstances. and in a divided and unequal society the two ideals can clash outright（直接地）.Trips that many adults would consider the adventure of a lifetime-treks in Borneo, a sports tour to Barbados-appear to have become almost routine at some state schools. Parents are being asked for thousands of pounds. Though schools cannot profit from these trips, the companies that arrange them do. Meanwhile, pupils arrive at school hungry because their families can ' t af breakfast. The Child Poverty Action Group says nine out of 30 in every classroom fall below the poverty line. The discrepancy is startlingly apparent. Introducing a fundraising requirement for students does not help, as better-off children can tap up richer aunts and neighbours.Probing the rock pools of a local beach or practising French on a language exchange can firechildren ' s passions, boost their skills and open their eyes to life ' s possibilities. Educational outings help bright but disadvantaged students to get better scores in A-level tests. In this globalised age, there is a goodcase for international travel. and some parents say they can manage the cost of a school trip abroad more easily than a family holiday. Even in the face of immense and mounting financial pressures. some schools have shown remarkable determination and ingenuity in ensuring that all their pupils are able to take up opportunities that may be truly lifechanging. They should be applauded. Methods such as whole-school fundraising. with theproceeds（收益）pooled, can help to exte nd opport un ities and fuel com munity spirit.But £ 3,000 trips cannot be justified whe n the average in come for families with childre n isjust over £ 30,000. Such initiatives close doors for many pupils. Some parents pull their children out of school because of expensive field trips. Even parents who can see that a trip is little more than a party or celebration may well feel guilt that their child is left behind.The Department for Education 's guidance says schools can charge only for bo a nr dlodging if the trip is part of the syllabus, and that students receiving government aid are exempt from these costs. However, many schools seem to ignore the advice; and it does not cover the kind of glamorous, exotic trips. which are becoming increasingly common. Schools cannot be expected to bring together communities single-handed. But the least we should expect is that they do not foster divisions and exclude those who are already disadvantaged.46. What does the author say best schools should do?A) Prepare students to both challenge and change the divided unequal society.B) Protect students from social pressures and enable them to face the world.C) Motivate students to develop their physical as well as intellectual abilities.D) Encourage students to be ambitious and help them to achieve their goals.47. What does the author think about school field trips?A) They enable students from different backgrounds to mix with each other.B) They widen the gap between privileged and disadvantaged students.C) They give the disadvantaged students a chance to see the world.D) They only benefit students with rich relatives and neighbours.48. What does the author suggest can help build community spirit?A) Events aiming to improve community services.B) Activities that help to fuel students ' ingenuity.C) Events that require mutual understanding.D) Activities involving all students on campus.49. What do we learn about low-income parents regarding school field trips?A) They want their children to participate even though they don ' t see much benefit.B) They don ' t want their kids to participate but find it hard to keep them from going.C) They don ' t want their kids to miss any chance to broaden their horizons despite the cost.D) They want their children to experience adventures but they don ' t want them to run risks,50. What is the author ' s expectation of schools?A) Bringing a community together with ingenuity.B) Resolving the existing discrepancies in society.C) Avoiding creating new gaps among students.D) Giving poor students preferential treatment.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Rising temperatures and overfishing in the pristine( 未受污染的) waters around the Antarctic could see king penguin populations pushed to the brink of extinction by the end of the century, according to a new study. The study ' s report states that as global warming transforms theenvironment in the world ' s last great wilderness, 70 percent ofnkgiunignspecould either disappear or be forced to find new breeding grounds.Co-author C e line Le Bohec, from the University of Strasbourg in France, warned: “If there ' reno actions aimed at haling or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human- induced changes such as climate change and overfishing stays the same, the species may son disappear. ” The findings come amid growing concern over the future of the Antarctic. Earlier this month a separate study found that a combination of climate change and industrial fishing is threatening the krill ( 磷虾) population in Antarctic waters, with a potentially disastrous impact on whales, seals and penguins. But today ' s report is the starkest warning yet of the potentiallydevastating impact of climate change and human exploitation on the Antarctic ' s delicate ecosystems.Le Bohec said: “Unless current greenhouse gas emissions drop, 70 percent of king pengui-ns1.1 million breeding pairs - will be forced to relocate their breeding grounds, or face extinction by 2100. ” King penguins are the secon-ladrgest type of penguin and only breed on specific isolated islands in the Southern Ocean where there is no ice cover and easy access to the sea. As the ocean warms, a body of water called the Antarctic Polar Front - an upward movement of nutrient-rich sea that supports a huge abundance of marine life - is being pushed further south, This means that king penguins, which feed on fish and krill in this body of water, have to travel further to theirfeeding grounds, leaving their hungry chicks for longer. And as the distance between their breeding grounds and theirfood grows, entire colonies could be wiped out.Le Bohec said: “ The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warning about the future of the entire marine environment in the Antarctic. Penguins, like other seabirds and marine mammals, occupy higher levels in the food chain and they are what we call bio-indicators of their ecosystems." Penguins are sensitive indicators of changes in marine ecosystems. As such, they are key species for understanding and predicting impacts of global change on Antarctic and subAntarctic marine ecosystems. The report found that although some king penguins may be able to relocate to new breeding grounds closer to their retreating food source, suitable new habitats would be scarce. Only a handful of islands in the Southern Ocean are suitable for sustaining large breeding colonies.51. What will happen by 2100, according to a new study?A) King penguins in the Antarctic will be on the verge of dying out.B) Sea water will rise to a much higher level around the Antarctic.C) The melting ice cover will destroy the great Antarctic wilderness.D) The pristine waters around the Antarctic will disappear forever.52. What do we learn from the findings of a separate study?A) Shrinking krill population and rising temperatures could force Antarctic whales to migrate.B) Human activities have accelerated climate change in the Antarctic region in recent years.C) Industrial fishing and climate change could be fatal to certain Antarctic species.D) Krill fishing in the Antarctic has worsened the pollution of the pristine waters.53. What does the passage say about king penguins?A) They will turn out to be the second-largest species of birds to become extinct.B) Many of them will have to migrate to isolated islands in the Southern Ocean.C) They feed primarily on only a few kinds of krill in the Antarctic Polar Front.D) The majority of them may have to find new breeding grounds in the future.54. What happens when sea levels rise in the Antarctic?A) Many baby king penguins can ' t have food in time.B) Many king penguins could no longer live on krill.C) Whales will invade king penguins ' breeding grounds.D) Whales will have to travel long distances to find food.55. What do we learn about the Southern Ocean?A) The king penguins there are reluctant to leave for new breeding grounds.B) Its conservation is key to the sustainable propagation of Antarctic species.C) It is most likely to become the ultimate retreat for species like the king penguin.D) Only a few of its islands can serve as huge breeding grounds for king penguins.Part IV Tran slati on (30 minu tes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.

You may not use any of the wordsin the bank more than once.The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can tell your kitchen appliances what to do. But even without gadgets that understand our spoken commands, research suggests that, as bizarre as it sounds, under certain 26 , people regularly ascribe human traits to everyday objects.Sometimes we see things as human because we are 27 . In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to attribute 28 to various gadgets. In turn, feeling close to objects can 29 loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they had been 30 in a social setting, they compensated by exaggerating their number of friends-unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. According to theresearchers, the participants’ phones 31 substituted for real friends.At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four respondents yelled at their computer. Further, the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely the respondents were to report that it had its own “beliefs and 32 .”So how do people assign traits to an object In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are 33 with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them-especially in 34 situations.

Each statement containsinformation given in one of the paragraphs. Identify theparagraph from which the information is derived. You maychoose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is markedwith a letter. Answer the questions by marking thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Why More Farmers Are Switching to Grass-Fed Meat and Diary[A]Though he didn’t come from a farming family, from a young age TimJoseph was fascinated by the idea of living off the land. Reading magazines like The Stockman Grass Farmer and Graze, he got hooked on the idea of grass-fed agriculture. The idea that all energy and wealth comes from the sun really intrigued him. He thought the shorter the distance between the sun and the end product, the higher the profit to the farmer.[B]Joseph wanted to put this theory to the test. In 2009, he and hiswife Laura launched Maple Hill Creamery, an organic, all grass-fed yogurt company in northern New York. He quickly learned what the market has demonstrated: Demand for grass-fed products currently exceeds supply. Grass-fed beef is enjoying a 25-30% annual growth rate. Sales of grass-fed yogurt and kefir（发酵乳饮品）, on the other hand, have in the last year increased by over 38%. This is comparison with a drop of just under 1% in the total yogurt and kefir market, according to natural and organic market research company SPINS. Joseph’s top priority became getting his hands on enough grass-fed milk to keep customers satisfied，since his own 64-cow herd wasn’t going to suffice.[C]His first partnership was with Paul and Phyllis Amburgh, owners ofthe Dharma Lea farm in New York. The Amburghs, too, were truebelievers in grass-fed. In addition to supplying milk from their own 85-head herd, they began to help other farmers in the area convert from conventional to certified organic and grass-fed in order to enter the Maple Hill supply chain. Since 2010, the couple has helped 125 small dairy farms convert to grass-fed, with more than 80% of those farms coming on board during the last two years.[D]All this conversion has helped Maple Hill grow 40-50% every yearsince it began, with no end in sight. Jospeh has learned that a farmer has to have a certain mindset to successfully convert. But convincing open-minded dairy people is actually not that hard, when you look at the economics. Grass-fed milk can fetch up to times the price of conventional milk. Another factor is the squeeze that conventional dairy farmers have felt as the price of grain they feed their cows has gone up, tightening their profit margins. By replacing expensive grain feed with regenerative management practices, grass-fed farmers are insulated from jumps in the price of feed. These practices include grazing animals on grasses grown from the pastureland’s natural seed bank, and fertilized by the cows’ own fertilizer.[E]Champions of this type of regenerative grazing also point to itsanimal welfare, climate and health benefits: Grass-fed animals live longer out of confinement, Grazing herds stimulate microbial (微生物的)activity in the soil, helping to capture water and separate carbon. And grass-fed dairy and meat have been shown to be higher in certain nutrients and healthy fats.[F]In the grass-fed system, farmers are also not subject to the wildlyfluctuating milk prices of the international commodity market. The unpredictability of global demand and the lag-time it takes to add more cows to a herd to meet demand can result in events like the recent cheese surplus. Going grass-fed is a safe refuge, a way for family-scale farms to stay viable. Usually a farmer will get to the point where financially, what they’re doing is not working.That’s when they call Maple Hill. If the farm is well managed and has enough land, and the desire to convert is sincere, a relationship can begin. Through regular regional educational meetings, a large annual meeting, individual farm visits and thousands of phone calls, the Amburghs pass on the principles of pasture management. Maple Hill signs a contract pledging to buy the farmer’s milk at a guaranteed base price, plus quality premiums and incentives for higher protein, butter-fat and other solids.[G]While Maple Hill’s conversion program is unusually hands-on andcomprehensive, it’s just one of a growing number of businesses committed to slowly changing the way America farms. Joseph calls sharing his knowledge network through peer-to-peer learning a core piece of the company’s culture. Last summer, Massachusetts grass-fed beef advocate John Smith launched Big Picture Beef, a network of small grass-fed beef farms in New England and New York that is projected to bring to market 2,500 head of cattle from 125 producers this year. Early indications are that Smith will have no shortage of farm members. Since he began to informally announce the network at farming conferences and on social media, he’s received a steady stream of inquiries from interested farmers.[H]Smith says he’ll provide services ranging from formal seminars toon-farm workshops on holistic(整体的) management, to one-on-one hand-holding and an almost 24/7 phone hotline for farmers who are converting. In exchange, he guarantees an above-market price for each animal and a calf-to-customer electronic ear tag ID system like that used in the European Union.[I]Though advocates portray grass-fed products as a win-win situationfor all, they do have downsides. Price, for one, is an issue. Joseph says his products are priced 10-20% above organic versions, but depending on the product chosen, compared to non-organic conventional yogurt, consumers could pay a premium of 30-50% or more for grass-fed. As for the meat, Smith says his grass-fedhamburger will be priced 20-25% over the conventional alternative.But a look at the prices on online grocer Fresh Direct suggests a grass-fed premium of anywhere from 35-60%.[J]And not every farmer has the option of going grass-fed. For both beef and dairy production, it requires, at least in the beginning, more pastureland. Grass-fed beef production tends to be more labor-intensive as well. But Smith counters that if you factor in the hidden cost of government corn subsidies, environment degradation, and decreased human health and animal welfare, grass-fed is the more cost-effective model. “The sun provides the lowest cost of production and the cheapest meat,” he says.[K]Another grass-fed booster spurring farmers to convert is EPIC, which makes meat-based protein bars. Founders Taylor Collins and his wife, Katie Forrest, used to be endurance athletes; now they’re advocates of grass-fed meat. Soon after launching EPIC’s most successful product-the Bison Bacon Cranberry Bar-Collins and Forrest found they’d exhausted their sources for bison (北美野牛) raised exclusively on pasture. When they started researching the supply chain, they learned that only 2-3% of all bison is actually grass-fed. The rest is feed-lot confined and fed grain and corn.[L]But after General Mills bought EPIC in 2016, Collins and Forrest suddenly had the resources they needed to expand their supply chain.So the company teamed up with Wisconsin-based rancher Northstar Bison. EPIC fronted the money for the purchase of $ million worth of young bison that will be raised according to its grass-fed protocols, with a guaranteed purchase price. The message to young people who might not otherwise be able to afford to break into the business is, “You can purchase this $3 million piece of land here, because I’m guaranteeing you today you’ll have 1,000 bison on it.’ We’re bringing new blood into the old, conventional farmi ng ecosystem, which is really cool to see,” Collins explains.36.Farmers going grass-fed are not affected by the ever-changing milkprices of the global market.37.Over the years, Tim Joseph’s partners have helped many dairyfarmers to switch to grass-fed.38.One advocate believes that many other benefits should be taken intoconsideration when we assess the cost-effectiveness of grass-fed farming.39.Many dairy farmers were persuaded to switch to grass-fed when theysaw its advantage in terms of profits.40.Tim Joseph’s grass-fed program is only one example of how Americanfarming practice is changing.41.Tim Joseph was fascinated by the notion that sunlight brings energyand wealth to mankind.42.One problem with grass-fed products is that they are usually moreexpensive than conventional ones.43.Grass-fed products have proved to be healthier and more nutritious.44.When Tim Joseph started his business, he found grass-fed productsfell short of demand.45.A snack bar producer discovered that the supply of purely grass-fed bison meat was scarce.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Schools are not just a microcosm(缩影) of society; they mediate it too. The best seek to alleviate the external pressures on their pupils while equipping them better to understand and handle the world outside-at once sheltering them and broadening their horizons. This is ambitious in any circumstances, and in a divided and unequal society the two ideals can clash outright(直接地).Trips that many adults would consider the adventure of a lifetime-treks in Borneo, a sports tour to Barbados-appear to have become almost routine at some state schools. Parents are being asked for thousands of pounds. Though schools cannot profit from these trips, the companies that arrange them do. Meanwhile, pupils arrive at school hungry because their families can’t afford breakfast. The Child Poverty Action Group says nine out of 30 in every classroom fall below the poverty line. The discrepancy is startlingly apparent. Introducing a fundraising requirement for students does not help, as better-off children can tap up richer aunts and neighbours.Probing the rock pools of a local beach or practising French on a language exchange can fire children's passions, boost their skills and open their eyes to life's possibilities. Educational outings help bright but disadvantaged students to get better scores in A-level tests. In this globalised age, there is a good case for international travel, and some parents say they can manage the cost of a school trip abroad more easily than a family holiday. Even in the face of immense and mounting financial pressures, some schools have shown remarkable determination and ingenuity in ensuring that all their pupils are able to take up opportunities that may be truly life-changing. They should be applauded. Methods such as whole-school fundraising, with the proceeds(收益) pooled, can help to extend opportunities and fuel community spirit.But £3,000 trips cannot be justified when the average income for families with children is just over £30,000. Such initiatives close doors for many pupils. Some parents pull their children out of school because of expensive field trips. Even parents who can see that a trip is little more than a party or celebration may well feel guilt thattheir child is left behind.The Department for Education’s guidance says schools can charge only for board and lodging if the trip is part of the syllabus, and that students receiving government aid are exempt from these costs. However, many schools seem to ignore the advice; and it does not cover the kind of glamorous, exotic trips, which are becoming increasingly common. Schools cannot be expected to bring together communities single-handed. But the least we should expect is that they do not foster divisions and exclude those who are already disadvantaged.does the author say best schools should doA) Prepare students to both challenge and change the divided unequal society.B) Protect students from social pressures and enable them to face the world.C) Motivate students to develop their physical as well as intellectual abilities.D) Encourage students to be ambitious and help them to achieve their goals.does the author think about school field tripsA) They enable students from different backgrounds to mix with each other.B) They widen the gap between privileged and disadvantaged students.C) They give the disadvantaged students a chance to see the world.D) They only benefit students with rich relatives and neighbours.does the author suggest can help build community spiritA) Events aiming to improve community services.B) Activities that help to fuel students' ingenuity.C) Events that require mutual understanding.D) Activities involving all students on campus.do we learn about low-income parents regarding school field tripsA) They want their children to participate even though they don't see much benefit.B) They don't want their kids to participate but find it hard to keep them from going.C) They don't want their kids to miss any chance to broaden their horizons despite the cost.D)They want their children to experience adventures but they don't want them to run risks.is the author's expectation of schoolsA) Bringing a community together with ingenuity.B) Resolving the existing discrepancies in society.C) Avoiding creating new gaps among students.D) Giving poor students preferential treatment.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Rising temperatures and overfishing in the pristine(未受污染的) waters around the Antarctic could see king penguin populations pushed to the brink of extinction by the end of the century, according to a new study. The study's report states that as global warming transforms the environment in the world's last great wilderness, 70 percent of king penguins could either disappear or be forced to find new breedinggrounds.Co-author Céline Le Bohec, from t he University of Strasbourg in France, warned: "If there’re no actions aimed at halting or controlling global warming, and the pace of the current human-induced changes such as climate change and overfishing stays the same, the species may soon disappear.” The findings come amid growing concern over the future of the Antarctic. Earlier this month a separate study found that a combination of climate change and industrial fishing is threatening the krill(磷虾) population in Antarctic waters, with a potentially disastrous impact on whales, seals and penguins. But today's report is the starkest warning yet of the potentially devastating impact of climate change and human exploitation on the Antarctic's delicate ecosystems.Le Bohec said: “Unless current greenhouse gas emissions drop, 70 percent of king penguins- million breeding pairs-will be forced to relocate their breeding grounds, or face extinction by 2100.”King penguins are the second-largest type of penguin and only breed on specific isolated islands in the Southern Ocean where there is no ice cover and easy access to the sea. As the ocean warms, a body of water called the Antarctic Polar Front-an upward movement of nutrient-rich sea that supports a huge abundance of marine life-is being pushed further south. This means that king penguins, which feed on fish and krill in this body of water, have to travel further to their feeding grounds, leaving their hungry chicks for longer. And as this distance between their breeding grounds and their food grows, entire colonies could be wiped out.Le Bohec said: "The plight of the king penguin should serve as a warning about the future of entire marine environment in the Antarctic. Penguins, like other seabirds and marine mammals, occupy higher levels in the food chain and they are what we call bio-indicators of their ecosystems." Penguins are sensitive indicators of changes in marine ecosystems. As such, they are key species for understanding and predicting impacts of global change on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic marine ecosystems. The report found that although some king penguins may be able to relocate to new breeding grounds closer to their retreating food source, suitable new habitats would be scarce. Only a handful of islands in the Southern Ocean are suitable for sustaininglarge breeding colonies.51.What will happen by 2100, according to a new studyA) King penguins in the Antarctic will be on the verge of dying out.B) Sea water will rise to a much higher level around the Antarctic.C) The melting ice cover will destroy the great Antarctic wilderness.D) The pristine waters around the Antarctic will disappear forever.52.What do we learn from the findings of a separate studyA) Shrinking krill population and rising temperatures could force Antarctic whales to migrate.B) Human activities have accelerated climate change in the Antarctic region in recent years.C) Industrial fishing and climate change could be fatal to certain Antarctic species.D) Krill fishing in the Antarctic has worsened the pollution of the pristine waters.53.What does the passage say about king penguinsA) They will turn out to be the second-largest species of birds to become extinct.B) Many of them will have to migrate to isolated islands in the Southern Ocean.C) They feed primarily on only a few kinds of krill in the Antarctic Polar Front.D) The majority of them may have to find new breeding grounds in the future.54.What happens when sea levels rise in the AntarcticA) Many baby king penguins can't have food in time.B) Many king penguins could no longer live on krill.C) Whales will invade king penguins' breeding grounds.D) Whales will have to travel long distances to find food.55.What do we learn about the Southern OceanA) The king penguins there are reluctant to leave for new breeding grounds.B) Its conservation is key to the sustainable propagation of Antarctic species.C) It is most likely to become the ultimate retreat for species like the king penguin.D) Only a few of its islands can serve as huge breeding grounds for king penguins.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
