Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ask Siri if she’s a woman. Go ahead; try it. She’ll tell you she’s ______41_____. “Like cacti. And certain species of fish,” she might say. So is Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana, Samsung’s S Voice, and Google Now. But, man, do they ever sound a lot like women. ____42_______, we think of them as ladies too. (In Old Norse, Siri translates to “a beautiful woman who leads you to victory.”) We assign female pronouns to them, and, in turn, they fold feminine turns of phrase into their robotic and occasionally inane answers to our requests.If we prize gender diversity in other areas of daily life, why does our tech soundso_____43______? The biggest reason for the female phone fixation rests in social science. “Research indicates there’s likely to be greater acceptance of female____44_______,” says Karl MacDorman, an associate professor at Indiana University who specializes inhuman-computer interaction. MacDorman and his team played clips of male and female voices to people of both genders, then asked them to identify which they _____45______. The researchers also measured the way participants responded to the voices. In a 2011 paper, they reported that both women and men said female voices came across as warmer._____46______, women even showed a subconscious preference for responding to females; men remained subconsciously neutral.Why the_______47____? Stanford University communications professor Clifford Nass, who coauthored the field’s seminal book,Wired for Speech, wrote that people tend to perceive female voices as helping them solve their problems by themselves, while they view male voices as authority figures who tell them the answers to their problems. We want_____48______ to help us, but we also want to be the boss of it, so we are more likely to opt for a female interface.This tendency suggests that companies will make a better impression on a______49_____group of customers with a woman’s voice. But not just any voice. It has to______50_____a brand’s personality. For help with t hat, companies often turn to Greg Pal, vice president of marketing, strategy, and business development at Nuance Communications,which licenses its _____51______ of more than 100 voices. Pal insists that some brands choose male speakers. He turned on his i Phone and pulled up the Domino’s Pizza app, which has an assistant, Dom. He sounded like my high school English teacher—educated and helpful but not______52_____. That’s about right for a brand attempting to ____53_______ guys ordering pies before the big game.As voice technology improves, though, designers say diversity will too. Many devices already let you _______54____ a voice interface. Homer Simpson can tell you where to take a left on your GPS device. And Siri can become a sir, if you take the time to ___55________. Want to know how to do it? Ask her. She’ll tell you in her uniquely warm, helpful—and female—tone.41. A. robotic B. high-tech C. genderless D. creative42. A. Culturally B. Obviously C.

A. appeal to B. look into C. meet with D. run after54. A. build B. tailor C. play D. improve55. A. repeat B. assist C. reprogram D. communicateSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When Frank and I stepped through the post office doors, there was a crowd gathered, gawking at the new fixture on the wall like a chorus of wide-mouthed frogs. I had to getcloser, and that was where being a girl that's scrawnier than a wire fence came in handy. Fortunately, Frank, my twin of eleven years, was just the same."Come on." I said, grabbing his hand, and we slid through the cracks between people until we spilled out in front.Finally I got a good look. It was fixed to the plaster next to the postmaster's window, the place of honor usually reserved for the Wanted posters. Beady-eyed Zedekiah Smith, the bank robber, still hung there, but even he had been pushed aside for something more important.A telephone. The first one in town."How's it work?" Noah Crawford called out. Noah's the best fix-it man around, and I could tell he was itching to get his fingers on those shiny knobs."Don't rightly know," answered the postmaster, and he tugged at his goatee as if it might tell him. "I do know the sound of your voice moves along wires strung on poles. It's sort of like the telegraph, only you hear words instead of dots and dashes.""Ah," the crowd murmured, and I felt my own mouth move along.I gazed at that gleaming wood box and something happened inside me. Something — I can only guess — that might be like falling in love. The thought of talking into that box — of making my voice sail through wires in the sky — it took over my brain. I couldn't get it out."Frank," I whispered to my twin. "I have to use that telephone."Five minutes later, Frank towed me up Main Street, toward home. "Liza — " he began, but I cut him off. We two thought so much alike, I had Frank's questions answered before he even asked.56. People crowded in the post office because ___________.A. they were attracted by a new posterB. the postmaster was delivering a speechC. they were curious about the telephoneD. there was a wanted bank robber captured57. Which of the following is Not True according to the passage?A. Many people stared at the new device in open-mouthed amazement.B. The slight-figured twins managed to push to the front of the crowd.C. Even the best fix-it man in the town got no idea about the new device.D. The postmaster didn’t know anyth ing about how the telephone worked.58. By“L It took over my brain. I couldn’t get it out.”,we get a clear picture of the girl’s ______.A. eagerness to use the telephoneB. fascination for the wood boxC. puzzlement over the strange soundD. determination to fly in the sky59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The twins’ frustrating experiences in the town.B. A special assembly called in the local post office.C. People’s reaction to the arrival of the first telephone.D. A great celebration of the start of telephone service.（B）Welcome to the LUSH Life!Out values are at the core of everything we do. From morally sourcing each ingredient and piece of packing to creating fresh, innovative cosmetics by hand, you’ll find a world of love and care in every product. Breathe deeply and soak up everything inside this box：we’ve made it just for you!60.

In the section Naked!, LUSH claims that they _______.A. advocate recyclable or even no packagingB. sell cosmetics without any wrapping paperC. have invented some recyclable cosmeticsD. have improved ways of transporting products62. What is LUSH’s business philosophy we can find from the leaflet?A. The market image of a company should make way for its beliefs.B. Cosmetics are among the essentials of our lives in modern society.C. Homegrown vegetables and fruit are natural and reliable sources of cosmetics.D. Social responsibilities of a company can go hand in hand with profit making.（C）Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame, we often do everything possible to avoid it. “We’re taught from our earlist days that if you quit something. It means you’re a failure,”says cou nseling psychologist Will Meek. He, however, suggests we view quitting differently.Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there’s the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it’s not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed.Quitting, often happens in situations where we’re unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have opposing effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you’ve jumped into a new relationship before you’re ready —and, as a result, you’re operating under intense pressure.“If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll.”s ays Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack, so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benef its.“We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol（应激激素皮质醇）, which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,”says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets—someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future solves through ‘imitation strategies’—an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes,’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCyles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self.“Prete nd to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do.”he says,“Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it’s a good fit for you.”It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that’s not quit e right can help you get back on track.63. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may bring us feelings of being both ____.A. guilty and ashamedB. stupid and enthusiasticC. troubled and hopefulD. inspired and determined64. The phrase“take a toll”（paragraph 3）can be best replaced by“_____”.A. develop mental adaptabilityB. bring about changesC. keep up the pressureD. have a bad effect65. An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for_______.A. helping people find what truly suits them in careerB. telling capable employees from inadequate onesC. training employees to acquire different working skillsD. providing people with opportunities to have a role play66. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. quitting is track that only the timid will choose to followB. personal interaction can be must for reducing emotional pressureC. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisolD. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happenSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Exoplanets：The Hunt Is OnToday scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. ___67___ Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake.___68___ However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable”zone. This is the distance form a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day.To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. ___69___ For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit（凌日）method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way.As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. ___70___ Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity（径向速度）method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets.These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt forexoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find!Ⅳ.Summary WritingHopeNothing in my life had prepared me for what I had to do. Choosing my words carefully, and fighting to stay calm, I told my 4-year-old daughter that her grandmother had suffered a stroke（中风），that she was unconscious, and that the doctors said she would probably never wake up. As she moved closer to me, Amelia looked at me, eyes bright, and said,“Maybe Grandma will be okay.”“Maybe she will,”I said, keeping back the tears, But I knew better. I was flying up to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, from our Florida home in the morning to say good-bye to my mom.The rest of that awful week, I joined my brother and father sitting by my mother’s side in the hospital room. I held her hand and talked to her. I told her that we still needed her. I told her that it wasn’t time to leave yet. I told her how much I loved her. And I told her that her little granddaughter, Amelia, believed that she’d get better. The doctors, with all their years of training and experience, offered no hope for recovery. The damage was simply too extensive.Then, a couple of weeks later, an odd thing happened. Mom woke up. She regained consciousness. Persevered through a long and tough recovery, during which she had to learn to walk, read, and write all over again, and eventually returned home to Dad. The only one who wasn’t shocked was Amerlia. The doctors couldn’t explain it. Amelia didn’t need to. Hope came as naturally to her as breathings.So why are we so afraid to hope sometimes? Maybe it’s because over the year, life’s disappointments can turn us to disillusionment（理想破灭）. How many times have you heard someone say:“Hope for the best, expect the worst”?That’s not really hope at all.Hope is being able to look at our world with all of the joy and wonder of a child.V.

I had to get closer. and that was where being a girl that’s sinnier than a wire fence came in handy. Fortunately, Fran, my twin of eleven years, was just the same.“Come on.” I said, grabbing his hand, and we slid through the cracs between people until we spilled out in front.Finally I got a good loo. It was fied to the plaster(石灰板) net to the postmaster's window, the place of honour usually reserved for the Wanted posters. Beady-eyed edeiah Smith, the ban robber, still hung there, but even he had been pushed aside for something more important.A telephone. The first one in town.“How’s it wor?” Noah Crawford called out. Noah’s the best fi-it man around, and I could tell he was dying to get his fingers on those shiny buttons.“Don’t rightly now,” answer the postmaster, and he pulled hard at his beard as if it might tell him. “I do now the sound of your voice moves along wires strung on poles. It’s sort of lie the telegraph, only you hear words instead of dots and dashes.”“Ah,” the crowd whispered, and I felt my own mouth move along.I gaed at the shiny wood bo and something happened inside me. Something--I can only guess--that might be lie falling in love. The thought of taling into that bo--of maing my voice sail through wires in the sy--it too over my brain. I couldn't get it out.“Fran,” I whispered to my twin. “I have to use that telephone.”Five minutes later, Fran dragged me to Main Street, toward borne. “Lia--” he began, but I cut him off.

Homegrown vegetables and fruit are natural and reliable sources of cosmetics.D. Social responsibilities of a company can go hand in hand with profit maing.(C )Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame, we often do everything possible to avoid it, “We’re taught from our earliest days that if you quit something, it means you’re a failure," says the psychologist Will Mee. He, however, suggests we view quitting differently.Quitting is lie deciding to rearrange a room you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there's the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied with your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped maing progress. While it's not out of the question for feelings of regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal eciting possibilities, maing you feel inspired and renewed.Quitting, often happens in situations where we're unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have ill effects on our health. Perhaps you find your wor unfulfilling, or you've jumped into a new relationship before you're ready--and, as a result, you're operating under intense pressure. “If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to tae a toll,” says Mee. According to the Amer ican Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the ris for high blood pressure and heart attac so waling away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits. “We often see a reduction in t he stress hormone cortisol(应激激素皮质醇)”, which can lower blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,” says Dr Ale Licerman, a GP and epert on developing mental adaptability.Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to eplore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looed at how baners tried different roles that required new sill sets--someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was ased to tae on personal interactions. Subjects(研究对象) were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future selves through ‘imitation strategies’ -- an approachthey compared to ‘trying on different clothes.’ Mar Franl in, the president of CareerCycles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self. “Pretend to be a certain ind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do,” he says. “Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it's a good fit for you.” It may not feel lie it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that's not quite right can help you get bac on trac.63. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may brim us feelings of being both ________.A. guilty and ashamedB. stupid and enthusiasticC. troubled and hopefulD. inspired and determined64. The phrase “tae a toll” (paragraph 3) can be best replaced by “________”.A. developmental adaptabilityB. bring about changesC. eep up the pressureD. have a bad effect65. An approach suggested by Mar Franlin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for________.A. helping people find what truly suits them in careerB. telling capable employees from inadequate onesC. training employees to acquire different woring sillsD. providing people with opportunities to have a role play66. It can be concluded from the passage that________.A. quitting is a trac that only the timid will choose to followB. personal interaction can be a must for reducing emotional pressureC. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisolD. nowing when to stop is wise and may mae dreams happenSection CDirections Read the following passage. Fill in each blan with a proper sentence given in the bo. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Scientists use indirect methods to discover eoplanets.B. Most eoplanets are very different from the ones in our solar system.C. As the star moves unsteadily, it changes the wavelength of the light we see.D. Astronomers have detected signals indicating the presence of a planetE. However, we have developed the technology to prove their eistence only in the last few decades.F. Direct detection of the visible light from giant planets in space is becoming increasingly possible.Eoplanets(外行星) The Hunt Is OnToday scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sy have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The eistence of etrasolar planets, or eoplanets, has long been discussed. 67 Although not the first eoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-lie star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This iced off an cra of eoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wae.68 However, in 2015 NASA’s epler space teles cope found its first Earth-sied planet in a “habitable” one. This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galay, the Milly, Way, has been eplored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 eoplanets, with more being added every day.To detect eoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Lame ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because eoplanets are sofar away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. 69 For eample, when an eoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring thi s drop is the transit(凌日)method of discovery. NASA’s epler space telescope has discovered many eoplanets this way.As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shae. 70 Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity(径向速度)method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming eoplanets.These are just two eamples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for eoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who nows what else we may find!IV. Summary WritingDirections Read the following passage. Summarie the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.HopeNothing in my life had prepared me for what I had to do. Choosing my words carefully, and fighting to stay calm, I told my 4-year-old daughter that her grandmother had suffered a stroe(中风), that she was unconscious, and that the doctors said she would probably never wae up. As she moved closer to me. Ameba looed at me, eyes bright, and said, “Maybe Grandma will be oay.” “Maybe she will,” I said, eeping bac the tears. But I new better. I was tying up to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, from our Florida home in the morning to say good-bye to my mom.The rest of that awful wee, I joined my brother, and father sitting by my mother’s side in the hospital room. I held her hand and taled to her. I told her that we still needed her. I told her that it wasn’t time to leave yet. I told her how much I loved her. And I told her that her little granddaughter, Amelia, believed that sh e’d get better. The doctors, with all their years of training and eperience, offered no hope for recovery. The damage was simply too etensive. A couple of wees later, an odd thing which she had to learn to wal, read, and write all over again, and eventuall y returned home to Dad. The only one who wasn’t shoced was Amelia. The doctors couldn’t eplain it. Amelia didn’t need to. Hope came as naturally to her as breathing.So why are we so afraid to hope sometimes? Maybe it’s because over the years, life’s di sappointments can turn us to disillusionment(理想破灭). How many times have you heard someone say “Hope for the best, epect the worst”? that’s not really hope at all.Hope is being able to loo at our world with all of the joy and wonder of a child.______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ________________V.

Almost every woman likes going shopping． Personally speaking，I enjoy shopping in the U．K．，even if it's just window shopping． The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U．K．much more than shopping in China． Every brand has its own official website where customers can see products and order directly online， so the products can be sent home directly． As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores，shopping experiences are rather free and open． Different from that in China， most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question． It is never necessary to tell ________to leave you alone． I especially like this kind of free atmosphere in which I can walk slowly， pick whatever I want and decide which is to take without any personal suggestions from shop assistants． Although sometimes， store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color，they never exaggerate （夸大）their opinions on it，as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments． Besides， each brand has a refund policy （退款政策）．The policy may vary from one another， but a cooling﹣off period of 14to 28days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought． Within the cooling﹣off period，customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt （有效发票）and unused products with all the tags． It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales．As for customers，it is also good，for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes．The U．K．is a modern country with traditions．While it says yes to the fast pace of modern fashion industry，it alsoprovides________ for its tourists and customers． It fully deserves the title of "Shopping Paradise"．（1）What is the most important reason why the writer likes shopping in the U．K．？________（2）In the writer's opinion， why are shopping experiences free and open in the U．K．？________（3）What does the underlined word "them" refer to？It refers to________（4）Do store staff usually help customers fetch things or give comments in the U．K．？________（5）How can customers get a full refund or exchange？________（6）What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph？It also provides________．VII.Writing （共 20 分）42.

Almost every woman likes going shopping． Personally speaking， I enjoy shopping in the U．K．， even if it's just window shopping． The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U．K． much more than shopping in China． Every brand has its own official website where customers can see products and order directly online， so the products can be sent home directly． As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores，shopping experiences are rather free and open． Different from that in China， most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question． It is never necessary to tell ________to leave you alone． I especially like this kind of free atmosphere in which I can walk slowly， pick whatever I want and decide which is to take without any personal suggestions from shop assistants． Although sometimes， store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color， they never exaggerate （夸大）their opinions on it， as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments． Besides， each brand has a refund policy （退款政策）．The policy may vary from one another， but a cooling﹣off period of 14to 28days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought． Within the cooling﹣off period， customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt （有效发票）and unused products with all the tags． It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales． As for customers， it is also good， for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes．The U．K． is a modern country with traditions． While it says yes to the fast pace of modern fashion industry， it also provides________ for its tourists and customers． It fully deserves the title of "Shopping Paradise"．（1）What is the most important reason why the writer likes shopping in the U．K．？________（2）In the writer's opinion， why are shopping experiences free and open in the U．K．？________（3）What does the underlined word "them" refer to？It refers to________（4）Do store staff usually help customers fetch things or give comments in the U．K．？________（5）How can customers get a full refund or exchange？________（6）What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph？It also provides________．VII.Writing （共 20 分）42.

As a result,he couldn’t move most of his body.In the same situation,many people might give up.However,Long thought that his life remained full of meaning and purpose.He said,“I broke my neck,it didn’t break me.”Start to develop this positive attitude today.Then,you’ll be better prepared for anything.Focus on survival.Four young people headed into the middle of the Amazon rain forest.They thought they were on an amazing adventure,but then things started to go wrong.One of the adventurers,Yossi Ghinsberg,ended up alone and lost in the Bolivian jungle for three weeks.During that time he repeated the phrase“man of action”to motivate ter,he explained it like this.“A man of action does whatever he must,isn’t afraid,and doesn’t worry.”If you find yourself in a crisis,stay positive and focus on survival.Everything else will take care of itself later.(Now listen again,please.)Questions11.What is Jerry Long likely to agree with?12.How did Ghinsberg manage to leave the jungle safely?13.What does the speaker want to tell us?Questions14through16are based on the following passage.Ahmed Zewail was an Egyptian chemist.He won a scholarship for doctoral studies in the United States at the age of23. When he arrived at the University of Pennsylvanian in1969,he was painfully aware that his homeland was seen as a loser in the technological race.His English was so poor that some of his new university colleagues even wondered whether he could finish the task in the chemistry lab.After earning his doctor’s degree,he spent two years of research at the University of California.Then he went to California Institute of Technology in1976and worked there for40years.When he won a Nobel Prize in chemistry,he had a new mission:Bringing world-class science education to Egypt.He was well aware that modern science is the generator of economic well-being,so he flew to Egypt,his homeland,to meet with President and proposed the creation of a university of science and technology.The university won government permission to begin enrolling students in Dec.2012.Dr.Zewail died in2016,a few years after the creation of a university near Cairo named after him.Egyptian President attended his military funeral.Although military funerals are usually held for military personnel,Zewail received the highest Egyptian state honor.(Now listen again,please.)Questions14.When did the University named after Dr.Zewail begin to enroll students?15.What did Dr.Zewail do to improve Egyptian education?16.Why was Dr.Zewail given a military funeral?Questions17through20are based on the following conversation.M:Today,we have Professor McKay on our morning talk show.Good morning,Professor McKay.I’ve heard that you andyour team have just completed a report on old age.W:That’s right.Well,the report basically looks into the various beliefs that people hold about old age and tries to confirm them.M:And what do you think your report can achieve?W:We hope that it will somehow help people to change their feelings about old age.The problem is that far too many of us believe that most old people are poor,lonely,and unhappy.As a result,we tend to find old people,as a group, unattractive.And this is very dangerous for our society.M:But surely we cannot escape the fact that many old people are lonely and many are sick.W:No,we can’t.But we must also remember that the proportion of such people is no greater among the60-70age group than among the50-60age group.M:In other words,there is no more mental illness,for example,among the60s-70s than among the50s-60s.W:Right!M:Are people’s mental abilities affected by old age?W:Certain changes do take place as we grow older,but this happens throughout life.These changes are very gradual and happen at different times with different people,but,in general,if you know a person well in his middle age and have seen how he deals with events and problems,you will easily recognize him in an old age.M:So that someone who enjoys new experiences,travel,education,and so on in his middle years will usually continue to do so into old age?W:Exactly!(Now listen again,please.)Questions:17.What do we know about the report according to the conversation?18.What kind of problem of the old is our society facing?19.What do we know about the old according to the conversation?20.What does Professor McKay think the report can achieve?(That’s the end of listening.)。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ask Siri if she’s a woman. Go ahead; try it. She’ll tell you she’s ______41_____. “Like cacti. And certain species of fish,” she might say. So is Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana, Samsung’s S Voice, and Google Now. But, man, do they ever soun d a lot like women. ____42_______, we think of them as ladies too. (In Old Norse, Siri translates to “a beautiful woman who leads you to victory.”) We assign female pronouns to them, and, in turn, they fold feminine turns of phrase into their robotic and occasionally inane answers to our requests.If we prize gender diversity in other areas of daily life, why does our tech soundso_____43______? The biggest reason for the female phone fixation rests in social science. “Research indicates there’s likely to b e greater acceptance of female____44_______,” says Karl MacDorman, an associate professor at Indiana University who specializes inhuman-computer interaction. MacDorman and his team played clips of male and female voices to people of both genders, then asked them to identify which they _____45______. The researchers also measured the way participants responded to the voices. In a 2011 paper, they reported that both women and men said female voices came across as warmer._____46______, women even showed a subconscious preference for responding to females; men remained subconsciously neutral.Why the_______47____? Stanford University communications professor Clifford Nass, who coauthored the field’s seminal book,Wired for Speech, wrote that people tend to perceive female voices as helping them solve their problems by themselves, while they view male voices as authority figures who tell them the answers to their problems. We want_____48______ to help us, but we also want to be the boss of it, so we are more likely to opt for a female interface.This tendency suggests that companies will make a better impression on a______49_____group of customers with a woman’s voice. But not just any voice. It has to______50_____a brand’s p ersonality. For help with that, companies often turn to Greg Pal, vice president of marketing, strategy, and business development at Nuance Communications, which licenses its _____51______ of more than 100 voices. Pal insists that some brands choosemale s peakers. He turned on his iPhone and pulled up the Domino’s Pizza app, which has an assistant, Dom. He sounded like my high school English teacher—educated and helpful but not______52_____. That’s about right for a brand attempting to ____53_______ guys ordering pies before the big game.As voice technology improves, though, designers say diversity will too. Many devices already let you _______54____ a voice interface. Homer Simpson can tell you where to take a left on your GPS device. And Siri can become a sir, if you take the time to ___55________.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When Frank and I stepped through the post office doors, there was a crowd gathered, gawking at the new fixture on the wall like a chorus of wide-mouthed frogs. I had to get closer, and that was where being a girl that's scrawnier than a wire fence came in handy. Fortunately, Frank, my twin of eleven years, was just the same."Come on." I said, grabbing his hand, and we slid through the cracks between people until we spilled out in front.Finally I got a good look. It was fixed to the plaster next to the postmaster's window, the place of honor usually reserved for the Wanted posters. Beady-eyed Zedekiah Smith, the bank robber, still hung there, but even he had been pushed aside for something more important.A telephone. The first one in town."How's it work?" Noah Crawford called out. Noah's the best fix-it man around, and I could tell he was itching to get his fingers on those shiny knobs."Don't rightly know," answered the postmaster, and he tugged at his goatee as if it might tell him. "I do know the sound of your voice moves along wires strung on poles. It's sort of like the telegraph, only you hear words instead of dots and dashes.""Ah," the crowd murmured, and I felt my own mouth move along.I gazed at that gleaming wood box and something happened inside me. Something — I can only guess — that might be like falling in love. The thought of talking into that box — of making my voice sail through wires in the sky — it took over my brain. I couldn't get it out."Frank," I whispered to my twin. "I have to use that telephone."Five minutes later, Frank towed me up Main Street, toward home. "Liza — " he began, but I cut him off. We two thought so much alike, I had Frank's questions answered before he even asked.56. People crowded in the post office because ___________.A. they were attracted by a new posterB. the postmaster was delivering a speechC. they were curious about the telephoneD. there was a wanted bank robber captured57. Which of the following is Not True according to the passage?A. Many people stared at the new device in open-mouthed amazement.B. The slight-figured twins managed to push to the front of the crowd.C. Even the best fix-it man in the town got no idea about the new device.D. The postmaster didn’t know anything about how the telephone worked.58. By“It took over my brain. I couldn’t get it out.”,we get a clear picture of the girl’s ______.A. eagerness to use the telephoneB. fascination for the wood boxC. puzzlement over the strange soundD. determination to fly in the sky59. What is the passage mainly about?A. The twins’ frustrating experiences in the town.B. A special assembly called in the local post office.C. People’s reaction to the arrival of the first telephone.D. A great celebration of the start of telephone service.（B）Welcome to the LUSH Life!Out values are at the core of everything we do. From morally sourcing each ingredient and piece of packing to creating fresh, innovative cosmetics by hand, you’ll find a world of love and care in every product.

In the section Naked!, LUSH claims that they _______.A. advocate recyclable or even no packagingB. sell cosmetics without any wrapping paperC. have invented some recyclable cosmeticsD. have improved ways of transporting products62. What is LUSH’s business philosophy we can find from the leaflet?A. The market image of a company should make way for its beliefs.B. Cosmetics are among the essentials of our lives in modern society.C. Homegrown vegetables and fruit are natural and reliable sources of cosmetics.D. Social responsibilities of a company can go hand in hand with profit making.（C）Since quitting can start feelings such as guilt and shame, we often do everything possible to avoid it. “We’re taught from our earlist days that if you quit something. It means you’re a failure,”says counseling psychologist Will Meek. He, however, suggests we view quitting differently.Quitting is like deciding to rearrange a room: you’ve grown comfortable with the status, and it can be hard to picture the end result or even see why change is necessary. And yet, there’s the upsetting feeling that you’re no longer entirely satisfied wit h your current circumstances, perhaps even that you’ve stopped making progress. While it’s not out of the question for feeling or regret to surface after a major refit, leaving a position, project or situation can reveal exciting possibilities, making you feel inspired and renewed.Quitting, often happens in situations where we’re unhappy, fearful or have determined we have no other choice, factors that can have opposing effects on our health. Perhaps you find your work unfulfilling, or you’ve jumped into a new relationship before you’re ready —and, as a result, you’re operating under intense pressure.“If stress is enduring and not managed well, it can start to take a toll.”says Meek. According to the American Psychological Association, long-term, ongoing stress can increase the risk for high blood pressure and heart attack, so walking away from whatever is causing it can deliver significant physical and emotional health benefits.“We often see a reduction in the stress hormone cortisol（应激激素皮质醇）, which can low er blood pressure and may even decrease the heart rate,”says Dr Alex Lickerman, a GP and expert on developing mental adaptability.Leaving situations that fail to bring you joy can leave you with sufficient time to explore where your heart is truly leading you. In a study that was published in 1999, then Harvard University professor Hermina Ibarra looked at how bankers tried different roles that required new skill sets—someone who spent a lot of time dealing with computers, for instance, was asked to take on personal interactions. Subjects were especially drawn to acting out a version of their future solves through ‘imitation strategies’—an approach they compared to ‘trying on different clothes,’ Mark Franklin, the president of CareerCyles, suggests a similar approach as a way to figure out what your true desires might be in your post-quitting life and foresee your future self.“Prete nd to be a certain kind of person, or go and meet others who are doing what you want to do.”he says,“Try it on, see how it feels and decide if it’s a good fit for you.”It may not feel like it at the time, but just moving on from a situation that’s not quit e right can help you get back on track.63. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that quitting may bring us feelings of being both ____.A. guilty and ashamedB. stupid and enthusiasticC. troubled and hopefulD. inspired and determined64. The phrase“take a toll”（paragraph 3）can be best replaced by“_____”.A. develop mental adaptabilityB. bring about changesC. keep up the pressureD. have a bad effect65. An approach suggested by Mark Franklin similar to ‘trying on different clothes’ is for_______.A. helping people find what truly suits them in careerB. telling capable employees from inadequate onesC. training employees to acquire different working skillsD. providing people with opportunities to have a role play66. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. quitting is track that only the timid will choose to followB. personal interaction can be must for reducing emotional pressureC. mental adaptability can be improved by the stress hormone cortisolD. knowing when to stop is wise and may make dreams happenSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Exoplanets：The Hunt Is OnToday scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars. For centuries, scientists and natural philosophers have proposed that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. The existence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, has long been discussed. ___67___ Although not the first exoplanet discovery, a planet near a sun-like star was discovered by astronomers in 1995. This kicked off an era of exoplanet hunting, with thousands of discoveries and confirmations following in its wake.___68___ However, in 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable”zone. This is the distance form a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water. So far, only a small slice of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has been explored. Even so, scientists have confirmed over 3,500 exoplanets, with more being added every day.To detect exoplanets, scientists use data from a variety of sources. Large ground-based telescopes, earth-circling and sun-circling satellites all collect different types of information. Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars, it is very difficult to see them directly. ___69___ For example, when an exoplanet moves between its star and us, it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness. Measuring this drop is the transit（凌日）method of discovery. NASA’S Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets this way.As a planet circles a star, it pulls on it and causes it to shake. ___70___ Measuring these slight changes is the radial velocity（径向速度）method of discovering planets. It is one of the most productive methods for finding and confirming exoplanets.These are just two examples of the many methods scientists use in their hunt for exoplanets, hoping for more information and enhanced detail. As time progresses and technology improves, who knows what else we may find!Ⅳ.Summary WritingHopeNothing in my life had prepared me for what I had to do. Choosing my words carefully, and fighting to stay calm, I told my 4-year-old daughter that her grandmother had suffered a stroke（中风），that she was unconscious, and that the doctors said she would probably never wake up. As she moved closer to me, Amelia looked at me, eyes bright, and said,“Maybe Grandma will be okay.”“Maybe she will,”I said, keeping back the tears, But I knew better. I was flying up to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, from our Florida home in the morning to say good-bye to my mom.The rest of that awful week, I joined my brother and father sitting by my mother’s side in the hospital room. I held her hand and talked to her. I told her that we still needed her. I told her that it wasn’t time to leave yet. I told her how much I loved her. And I told her that her little granddaughter, Amelia, believed that she’d get better. The doctors, with all their years of training and experience, offered no hope for recovery. The damage was simply too extensive.Then, a couple of weeks later, an odd thing happened. Mom woke up. She regained consciousness. Persevered through a long and tough recovery, during which she had to learn to walk, read, and write all over again, and eventually returned home to Dad. The only one who wasn’t shocked was Amerlia. The doctors couldn’t explain it. Amelia didn’t need to. Hope came as naturally to her as breathings.So why are we so afraid to hope sometimes? Maybe it’s because over the year, life’s disappointments can turn us to disillusionment（理想破灭）. How many times have you heard someone say:“Hope for the best, expect the worst”?That’s not really hope at all.Hope is being able to look at our world with all of the joy and wonder of a child.V.
