Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.By now you know that getting your money’s worth is not justa matter of luck. It is more often the 41 of buying skill. Nevertheless, even the smartest consumers are sometimes fooled into thinking they are getting their money’s worth when they are not.At one time or another, almost everyone experiences deception (欺骗(qīpiàn)〕in the market place. The deception may not be 42 . But, whether or not, any kind of deception hurts consumers’feelings as well as their pocket books. Some kinds of deception even endanger their health and safety as well. Obviously, consumers need protection against the marketing of unsafe goods and false or misleading advertising. Fortunately, there are both public and 43 agencies working to meet the need. Government’s job in free enterprise system is to protect the public 44 . The publicis composed entirely of consumers. When it comes to protecting consumers, therefore, government has the most influence. Becausem o s t c o n s u m e r p r o d u c t s a r e s o l d45,t h e m a j o r responsibility for consumer protection is 46 by federal government. That responsibility, however, is shared by many agencies. For example, the US Postal Service works to uncover and stop dishonest schemes operated by mail. The National HighwayS a f e t y B u r e a u i s47 with all aspects of automobile safety. Certain federal agencies, however, have consumer protection as one of their chief 48 . Most federal agencies are known by their initials. FDAstands for the Food and Drug Administration, which probably does more to protect consumers than any other agency. Its major concernis the safety, purity, and labeling of foods, drugs, and cosmetics. These are the products for which consumers spends a(n) 49 38% of their incomes.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own50 of success, and that each of us is 51 for s e t t i n g o u r o w n g o a l s a n d 52 whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered 53 .Think of t h e p e a c e o f m i n d o f t h e p o o r s h e p h e r d w h o tends his sheep, enjoying his simple life with his family in the beauty of 54 , and who is respected because he does a good job of 55 the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that 56 some people appear to be rich in 57 possessions, many of them seem tobe miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when 58 their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set 59 goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence and ability it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a 60 of achievement.A wise counselor once said to a young man who was 61 frustration and disappointment with his own professional success, “You 62 set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful 63 by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,〞 the counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoilt your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at 64 you really like, and to which you have given your best effort.〞50.

A. nearly B. mostly C. merelyD. frequently64. A. something B. anything C. nothingD. everythingSection BDirections: Read the following four passages. Each passage isfollowed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the onethat fits best according to the information given in the passageyou have just read.AThe rise of the so-called “bo omerang generation〞 is revealedin official figures showing that almost one in five graduates intheir late 20s now live with their parents.By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failedto fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago. It also found thatgrown-up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still beliving with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarterof men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a “generation of mummy’s boys〞.Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been nicknamed the “boomerang generation〞 because of the trend toward returning to the family home having initially left to study. Recent research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to choose to live with their parents in their late 20s than their counterparts elsewhere in Europe.Growing housing prices, rising student debts and the effects of recession〔衰退(shuāituì)〕 on the job market have forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally be moving out. But commentators warned that the phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing “dire〞prospects than simply a desire to save money.While the proportion of those of university or college age moving out from the family home has continued to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has been reversed. Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more than 760,000 in their late 20s. In 1988, 22.7 per cent of men aged 25 to 29 were still living with their parents but last year the proportion was 24.5 per cent.65. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The economic crisis has shown its effect on the young generation.B. More young professionals are returning home to live.C. British parents are suffering more loads from their grown-up children.D. Britain is suffering more than any other country in Europe.66. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Male children seem to be more independent than females.B. Eighty percent of university graduates were able to live independently two decades ago.C. The grown-up children choose to live with their parents only to save money.D. More and more children are moving out at university age.67. What does the underlined word “dire〞 probably mean?A. promising.B. inconvenient.C. very bad.D. hopeful.68. The following factors may account for the phenomenon except___________.A. that living prices have risen a lotB. that it’s difficult to land a jobC. that education has already cost them a lotD. that parents can help them moreBIt’s great f un to explore new places—it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.● Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you’ll have to move to the back seat.● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll needa good map, a compass (指南针〕, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies. Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so alwaysstick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.) in the fastest time, or simply as aspare-time activity. Either way, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.69. Sitting beside the driver, you should___________.A. direct the driver when necessaryB. look ahead to see where there’s a turnC. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortableD. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to70. Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?A. To get information when in danger.B. To be saved in case of an accident.C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.D. To tell him/her what’s going on with the group members.71. Orienteering activities can______________.A. make people work fastB. help people stay healthyC. help people organize other activitiesD. make people get prepared for sportsCIs early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child’s physical, sensory, com municational and socialdevelopment. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten．There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to prison．There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online explains that “the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work.〞 I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier．Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a “false start〞, as the gains arelost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life’s success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap．72. The purpose of the government valuing the early childhood education is ________．A. to develop the children’s communicationB. to give orphaned children good care and educationC. to get the children prepared for the kindergartenD. to train the children formally and regularly73. According to the studies, which of the following is True?A. Children with good early education may have a rich life．B. The orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life．C. Children without early education can do well at school．D. Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children．74. The underlined sentence “the younger the child the less hischances of catching up with first-grade work. 〞 suggests that _____________．A. the early childhood education is helpless to the child’s gradeB. it is good for the young children to receive early educationC. the early education can help the children follow the gradeD. the younger the children are, the cleverer they will be75. The author’s attitude toward the early childhood education is _________．A. puzzlingB. negativeC. indifferentD. approvingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Robot, it is a word that seems very modern, a word that creates a strong mental picture, a picture of something that looks and acts like a human. Robots are not human, of course, they are machines.The word robot, and robots themselves, are less than 100 years old. But humans have been dreaming of real and imaginary copies ofthemselves for thousands of years. Early people made little human statues out of clay. And they cut wood and stone to look like humans.What is the future of robots? The goal of scientists is to create a true human-like robot. Some experts have described this robot of the future as one that can act independently with the physical world through its own senses and actions. Humans have the ability to see, hear, speak and solve problems. Engineers have built robots that have one or two of these abilities. But it takes a number of big expensive computers to make the robots work.The biggest problem in creating a human-like robot is copying human intelligence. The way the human mind works is almost impossible to copy. A simple computer can do mathematical problems far beyond the ability of even the smartest human mind. But the human mind is better than a thousand supercomputers at speaking, hearing and problem-solving. Several American and Japanese companies are working to develop the senses of sight and touch for robots. The development of these senses will make robots much more useful.However, the most important human ability--the most difficult to copy--is problem-solving. An intelligent robot must be able to change the way it acts when it faces an unexpected situation. Humans do it all the time. Computers must do it for robots. This means computers must have a huge base of information about many things. They must be able to find quickly the needed information in their systems. And they must make choices about how to act. So far, this is beyond the ability of computers.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questionsor complete the statements in the fewest possible words.From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only youhave the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in themost awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success only if you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus overyour life. People with low self-esteem are people who do notbelieve that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial (长期(chángqī)的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about withany sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for whatwe choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the levelthat one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you aredefinitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturingthe seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on theroad to success.(Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS)81. Why are people with low self-esteem compared to leaves?_________________________________________________________.82. What do losers think about their failures?_______________________________________________________.83. According to the writer, whether one will succeed____________________________.84.

therapist(治疗专家)for nearly20years.He enjoyed his career but decided to learn a trade.“I want something in the wheelhouse of therapists,”said Sallows.“I need something fulfilling,so I think barbering.”In one way,some may see it as a big career change,but Sallows says he is still a therapist.“I joke,I say I’ve gone from therapy to ‘hairapy’,”said Sallows.“Barbering gives me that therapeutic kind of environment that allows me to still talk.People know me as a therapist when they come in,not only as a barber,and so,just the conversations are really cool.”Sallows learned that a barbershop proved complex for clients in wheelchairs.Having one’s hair washed or getting a close shave often means being physically lifted out of the wheelchair and into a barber chair—an experience that is both difficult and embarrassing.So Sallows,with the help of the UPMC,has created the barber chair that lifts and tips a wheelchair back safely and comfortably.The user rolls onto the barber chair and is raised one or two feet,much like what one would see in a car shop.Sallows hopes that the device will provide clients with the kind of service people have come to appreciate at a barbershop.4．What is Sallows’s achievement?A．He was named as the best therapist.B．He became an engineer of the UPMC．C．He created tailored and comfortable dentist chairs.D．He designed a barber chair for the wheelchair-bound.5．Why did Sallows choose to work in barbering trade?A．He could talk to cool clients.B．He was eager to make a fortune.C．He could use his former experience.D．He wanted to start a different career. 6．Which of the following best describes Sallows?A．Cooperative and generous.B．Innovative and caring.C．Talented and competitive.D．Modest and competent.7．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．A Tailored Cut B．A Flexible WheelchairC．A Skilled Barber D．A Special BarbershopThe book Yes Means Yes,Everything Else Means No,authored by an experienced decision strategist Bruce Mullen,is more than just a theoretical exploration of simplicity;it’s a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills.The goal of this book is not merely to promote the philosophy but to equip readers with the tools they need to carry it out effectively.From techniques to prioritize tasks to methods for removing distractions,the book offers a comprehensive toolkit for simplifying the decision-making process.In a world where indecisiveness often leads to confusion and missed opportunities,the book’s philosophy distinguishes between a decisive“Yes”and a clear“No”.At its essence,this title encourages readers to grasp the power of conviction and the art of clear choices.The book urges us to channel our energies into the positive‘Yes’and decrease our efforts with undecided commitments.Author Bruce Mullen’s journey began with a conversation with his brother,causing a serious reflection that gave rise to a philosophy centered around simplicity.Titled“Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No”,this guiding principle explores the importance of decisions in one’s life.Through his personal experiences,Mullen determined the power of simplification,directinghim to decisions harmonizing with his core values and ambitions.Beyond individual context,this book extends its reach,influencing business strategies,relationship dynamics,and societal considerations.Mullen’s exploration into the essence of the phrase not only drew parallels to the legal‘Yes Means Yes’principle but also emphasized the significance of clear intention in negotiating life’s crossroads.Yes Means Yes,Everything Else Means No is more than a book;it’s a philosophy that can revolutionize how we approach decisions.Rooted in the simplicity of its title,the book briefs the essence of purposeful decision-making.It offers a set of tools to take apart complexity and embrace the power of confirmation and decisive negation.For those who seek to live a life with clarity and purpose,this book is a guiding light in the fog of indecision.8．What is the book aimed at?A．Teaching strategy theories.B．Solving philosophical problems.C．Empowering readers with decision-making skills.D．Equipping readers with techniques to simplify life.9．What does the underlined word“conviction”in Paragraph2mean?A．Doubt.B．Speech.C．Certainty.D．Action. 10．What is the inspiration for Mullen’s philosophy of simplicity?A．A family talk.B．A hard decision.C．A painful lesson.D．A sudden thought. 11．What does the author think of Mullen’s book?A．Serious and daring.B．Inclusive and practical.C．Objective and humorous.D．Plain and straightforward.Moon dust is the absolute worst.Not only does electrostatics(静电)cause it to stick to virtually everything,but it also has the consistency and feel of finely ground fiberglass.It was a genuine problem for the six Apollo crews who visited the moon’s surface—moon dust covered their suits,worked their way into engines and electronics,and even ruined a few of their extremely expensive spacesuits.These are all serious issues to consider ahead of NASA’S planned return to the moon’s surface in2025,but a team of college undergraduates at Washington State University just developed a solution to moon dust—spraying liquid nitrogen(氮)onto moon dust.The teamdeveloped a new spray that takes advantage of the Leidenfrost d after its discoverer, an18th-century German doctor Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost,it occurs when a liquid comes into close contact with a significantly hotter surface,causing it to quickly form a protective layer of vapor(蒸汽)that briefly keeps it from evaporating,such as when water forms into drops and runs across a very hot frying nan.The same principle works similarly in space.In this case,a liquid nitrogen spray(typically around-320℉)comes into contact with a surface’s relatively warmer lunar dust coating,causing the particles to turn into things like drops and float away on the nitrogen vapors.To test their spray,the research team first dressed a Barbie doll wrapped with a material used to make spacesuits.They then sprayed it with liquid nitrogen in a normal atmospheric condition as well as the circumstances similar to outer space.Not only did the liquid nitrogen spray perform better in the latter circumstances,but also it only resulted in minimal damage to the spacesuit material.In past lunar missions,astronauts’specialized brushes for the moon dust task often caused damage to spacesuits after a single use.In comparison,the liquid nitrogen spray took75 uses before similar issues occurred.Going forward,the team hopes to further research the complexity that makes the cleaning process so effective,as well as secure funding to construct testing rooms more closely resembling the lunar surface’s gravity.With any luck,maybe a can of their Moon-Dust-Gone will be aboard a future Artemis mission,ready to help astronauts avoid one of the lunar surface’s annoying things. 12．Why does the author mention“Apollo”in the first paragraph?A．To prove moon dust is a real headache.B．To compare past and present moon programs.C．To show the achievements in moon exploration.D．To offer readers insights into the Apollo program.13．What does the underlined word“particles”in Paragraph2refer to?A．Liquid waste.B．Moon dust.C．Nitrogen spray.D．Protective coating. 14．What did the research team find about their spray in Paragraph3?A．It belonged to single-use items for astronauts.B．It performed better in normal atmospheric conditions.C．It increased the strength of the material of spacesuits.D．It protected spacesuits better compared with the brush.15．What may the follow-up research of the spray focus on?A．Test subjects.B．Complex lunar surface.C．Other applications.D．Reasons for efficient cleaning.One might hope that children’s capacity for boredom would be matched by an appetite for all things new—If only parenting were so easy.16Here are expert-approved tips on how to get your kids to attempt new things without frightening them off.Start with what they know.Take something your kids already like or are good at,and push them to try it in a new environment or a slightly different way.If you want your kids to feel confident about their strengths and use that as a springboard to try something new,think:17 How can you help them advance in that?There is no need to learn a new thing—you just create an opportunity to push your kids to try something new with the skill they know.Make a list.Ask your children what new things they want to try out or have them write a list. Help them figure out what it is that they are worried about when they avoid new things.18 It’s a way to help them feel in charge of their emotions and understand the connection between thoughts and actions.19You should both recognize your children’s fears and express certainty that they can handle the task.It is important to project confidence in your children.Say you believe they have capacity to handle those challenges and tolerate the discomfort or worries or negative feelings that might come along with doing new or scary things.Consider if they are doing enough.You should also do some reflecting of your own.Do your children really need to try tofu or martial arts?If your kids are functioning overall,they are doing the basics and they have some friends,then be encouraging.20Sometimes doing that stops you from focusing on the things they are doing.A．Sympathize and encourage.B．Be tolerant and open-minded.C．What are your kids comfortable with?D．Why are your kids fascinated by new things?E．Don’t overstress on everything they are not doing.F．Sometimes the act of identifying and naming fears can help decrease them.G．Trying new things is difficult for many children,whether a different food or skill.二、完形填空Washing windows was the worst chore for Maddie.As she did it,she noticed her21 Mr.Valdez pressing his knees with a rake(耙子)lying beside him.“How are you?”“Well,Maddie.”Mr.Valdez answered.“But raking leaves is the22chore for me.”“I’ll rake them for you first and finish washing my windows later.”Maddie23.She enjoyed building piles of golden leaves,24the grass and making the yard look like a freshly swept carpet.Truly appreciating her help,Mr.Valdez25Maddie the rake and went to see Mrs.Iguchi across the street.Maddie raked,piled and bagged all leaves.“I have to go back to do my windows.”She thought,turned toward her house and then stopped in26.Tom,the teenage boy living nearby,was washing her windows!Before she expressed her27to Tom,Mr.Valdez entered with Mrs.Iguchi.“I can explain.When I visited Mrs.Iguchi,she was28 peeling(去皮)potatoes,so I volunteered.I like making the potato peelings into long curly shapes.”Maddie looked puzzled,still29how peeling potatoes could have turned into washing windows.Mrs.Iguchi continued the30.She said she31to do her favorite—cleaning the carpet at Tom’s house when borrowing dustpans.When Tom asked what could be done for her,she couldn’t32any chores but only remembered Mr.Valdez had mentioned Maddie’s windows weren’t getting33because she was raking his leaves.Tom added,“Nothing is more pleasant than seeing the34glass shine in the sun.”What a neighborhood chore chain!Everyone gets a favorite and returns a35. 21．A．gardener B．cleaner C．neighbor D．colleague 22．A．hardest B．tiniest C．latest D．earliest 23．A．indicated B．hesitated C．resisted D．volunteered 24．A．cutting B．watering C．uncovering D．planting 25．A．handed B．bought C．returned D．displayed26．A．sorrow B．delight C．fright D．surprise 27．A．gratitude B．doubt C．concern D．disapproval 28．A．unwillingly B．hopefully C．excitedly D．aimlessly 29．A．understanding B．wondering C．stating D．showing 30．A．broadcast B．persistence C．observation D．explanation 31．A．appeared B．refused C．happened D．pretended 32．A．think of B．set aside C．put off D．take up 33．A．changed B．repaired C．washed D．decorated 34．A．valuable B．spotless C．previous D．colorful 35．A．call B．greeting C．profit D．favor三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Better known as "Ms. Stephanie" online, Walsh has been featured on social media accounts with some videos drawing more than II million people to watch.Walsh believes the videos gained popularity because she is 75. "It's because I'm a senior, "said Walsh. "You don't usually see someone my age doing hip-hop and moving like that. "But actually, it's more than that. Just as her profile claims, Walsh's videos are "inspiring the world to dance like no one is watching. ""Dance isn't just your body, it's what you're feeling inside about the dance and it's what comes out here in your face, " Walsh said. "What I want to put through my movement is how much fun it is and how much joy it gives you. "From a young age, Walsh loved to dance but her family didn't have the money for classes. When she was nearly 30, she got her daughter ballet lessons, which her daughter hated. So, she took her daughter out and started classes herself right away.Walsh believes her lifelong passion for dance is what motivates her today. "Everybody has to have a passion in their life, " she said. "It's like that saying, 'A life without passion is a life half lived. 'I believe that. "Walsh dances for fun and fitness, but also for therapy（心理治疗）. She struggled through countless hardships, and she has more than enough reasons to keep her down. But they don't. She turns to her faith, her friends and of course, dance, to shine as an inspiration to those around her.Gilbert, one of Walsh's followers, says she inspires him every day. "She's a beautiful soul who teaches me that it doesn't matter about your age or your size. As long as you feel good, that's all that matters, "says Gilbert. "I am truly thankful that Walsh is teaching me at the age of 32 to live my life full and stop being so scared. "24. What motivates Walsh to do hip-hop?A. Its great social benefit.B. Its growing popularity.C. Her enthusiasm for dance.D. Her hunger for reputation.25. What contributes to her videos' popularity according to Walsh?A. Her advanced age.B. Her smooth moves.C. Her endless energy.D. Her confident claim.26. What will Walsh's story probably inspire Gilbert to do?A. Be active in social media.B. Set a good example to others.C. Take full advantage of his talent.D. Adopt a positive approach to life.27. Which is a suitable title for the text?A. Optimistic About Life: The Way to SurviveB. Forever Young in Dance: An Inspiring FigureC. Embracing Social Media: The Key to SuccessD. Dancing with the Young: An Amazing JourneyCA China plane struck a bird after taking off in Chengdu, Sichuan, and had to immediately return to the airport last October, and it wasn't the first accident between an aircraft and a bird last year.In fact, more than 20, 000 wildlife strikes with aircraft were reported worldwide in 2023-the vast majority of those animals being birds. The strikes can also include run-ins with bats or creatures on the ground, such as deer or turtles. Expanding wildlife populations, increases in number of aircraft movements, and a trend toward faster and quieter aireraft all have contributed to the increase in wildlife strikes.Bird strikes are a hazard not just to commercial airplanes, but to all sorts of aircraft. However, historical data shows that damage is reported in a small percentage of incidents. Last year, 95% of the global strikes involved some kind of damage- and only 5% of those caused "substantial" damage.Some of the most disturbing types of strikes can happen when one or more birds go into a plane's engine, which might cause a lot of damage to the aircraft. The pilot would need to return to the airport or find a safe place to land.In last October's China plane incident, the Beijing-bound flight was able to land normally in Chengdu after taking into account what the airline described as security concerns. Senior captain Chen Jianguo said pilots are trained on how to respond if they have a bird strike in flight. The pilot in this case did exactly what he was trained to do."There are lots of things that are being used by airports to try to manage the habitat and birds around the airport, "said Chen Jianguo. Airports need to manage bird habitats to reduce or get rid of trees and plants that shelter birds, or address wetlands that can attract birds. Collecting data on what kinds of birds are involved in strikes is equally important so the risks can better be managed. Many airports also use audible signals to scare birds away, such as the sounds of fireworks.28. What is a cause of the increase in wildlife strikes?A. The poorly designed aircraft.B. The growing number of birds.C. The destruction of wildlife habitats.D. The absence of environmental awareness.29. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Danger.B. Delay.C. Accident.D. Reminder.30. What does the historical data tell us about bird strikes?A. They are a rare occurrence.B. They usually damage engines.C. Most of them cause slight damage.D. Most of them involve one single bird.31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. Ways to study bird behavior.B. Measures to drive birds away.C. Efforts to restore bird habitat.D. Attempts to take care of birds.DSuppose you come across two doctors. One is handsome while the other looks plain. Who would you trust with your surgery? Most people would probably want to get treated by the handsome one. And most people are likely to be wrong about that.When you look at the sun, you sometimes see it clearly. But sometimes you'll see it shining way bigger than its actual shape. That circle of light called a halo makes it look bigger. This effect, known as the halo effect, also happens when a person, product, or company shines like the sun. Then we don't see them clearly and associate all sorts of unrelated qualities to them.The halo effect was once studied by the psychologist Edward Thorndike, who asked flight commanders to evaluate their pilots in various distinct aspects such as physical appearance, intelligence, and leadership. He found that the pilots who got high scores for their physical appearance, also got rated high on intelligence and leadership skills-a link that seemed wrong. It appears that the commanders were unable to evaluate specific qualities independently of others. They thought of their pilots in broad terms, either "good" or "bad", and allowed this general feeling to influence the specific qualities they credited to their pilots. Some pilots profited from their halo.The halo effect also explains why some teachers give better-looking students higher grades. One study looked at the grades of 4, 500 pupils, who were sorted by volunteers into three groups: below- average, average, and above-average looking. The researchers then compared students' grades between classes taken in conventional classrooms with those taken online where there was no face-to-face interaction. The researchers found that students who were rated as good-looking earned significantly lower grades in online courses compared to conventional classrooms.Since the physical appearance of good-looking people seems to naturally make them also appear intelligent, strong, and trustworthy, here is one good rule. If you meet with an accident and have to choose between two equally qualified doctors, ignore their halo and choose the less handsome one. He might have worked twice as hard to gain the same reputation and is likely better at his job.32. What is the purpose of the second paragraph?A. To explore a natural wonder.B. To spread scientific knowledge.C. To explain a psychological tendency.D. To interpret social rules at the workplace.33. How did the commanders tend to evaluate their pilots in Thorndike's study?A. In a general way.B. With common sense.C. From a specific aspect.D. By an objective criterion.34. What does the 4500-pupil study find about better-looking students?A. They were fairly treated by their teachers.B. They were less attentive in online courses.C. They probably had natural learning abilities.D. They were overvalued in conventional classes.35. What can be learned about the halo effect?A. It relieves appearance anxiety.B. It leads to inaccurate judgments.C. It causes trust crisis among people.D. It intensifies workplace competition.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2024届吉林省长春市高三上学期质量监测（一）英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解School-based Vocational (职业的) Training in Germany If you want to do vocational training in healthcare, social services or technical professions, you can do school-based vocational training in Germany.What is it?School-based vocational training does not take place partly in a company, but only at a vocational school or a vocational college. Here you are not an apprentice (学徒) in a company, but you learn practically full-time at the school desk.What does it teach you?You will find a variety of professions that you can learn at a vocation al school or a vocational college. Offers are available for professions such as nurse, kindergarten teacher and medical-technical assistant. Many—but not all—of the more than 350 officially acknowledged vocational training programs in Germany are school-based.How long does it take?School-based vocational training in Germany is usually full-time. The duration and the curricula are fixed for the individual professions, but there are different vacation periods from school to school, which interrupt the training periods.How much does it cost?In contrast to in-company training, you will not usually receive a monthly training allowance for school-based training; in many cases, you will even have to pay for this training. If you go to a state vocational school or a college, there are usually no fees. However, this may not be the case with privately run vocational colleges or schools.Germany’s vocational training system is known for its strong focus on practical skills and employability. According to a study by the German Federal Institute for V ocational Education and Training, around 78% of students who completed a vocation al training program found employment within one year of graduation.1．What can most probably be learnt in school-based vocational training?A．Planting crops.B．Taking care of the elderly.C．Driving a vehicle.D．Mastering a foreign language.2．What should a student do to enjoy the fee-free policy?A．Attend a state college.B．Receive an offer.C．Have a full-time course.D．Apply for a private school.3．In which section of a newspaper can this text be found?A．Science.B．Education.C．Business.D．Entertainment.Halloran has loved mountains since she was five or six, when her mother took her to Ireland during the summer holidays. They lived overlooking Annascaul lake on the Dingle peninsula. “It’s a lovely viewpoint. I used to sit there as a child. I loved the freedom of going up the mountain alone, when I was nine or ten. I cried for days before going back to London because I felt I would be in a rabbit hutch (窝).”For Halloran, life had settled into a comfortable rhythm. But then her four-year-old son died in a car accident; six years later, her husband also passed away. After the loss, she became a workaholic. She went into the office at 5 am, and worked until 10 pm, which was her stability. And it was time to make a change.One day last September, Ann Halloran made her way to her nearest bus stop in Hove, East Sussex. She had done plenty of travelling but, at 65, was setting off alone on her first backpacking adventure. Somewhere between her first stop in Turkey and her final destination—a yoga retreat (静修) in Mazunte, Mexico—she found a new perspective.In Nepal, climbing the 5,400 m Gokyo Ri in the Himalayas, Halloran broke her walking stick. She has osteoporosis (骨质疏松症), which makes bones more likely to break, so the stick was essential in the mountains. Losing it was a blow, but she found reserves of inner strength.Now, she says: “Whenever I get scared, I think of myself on top of that mountain, looking out over Lake Gokyo—and beyond that, Everest. I say, if you can do that, you can do anything.”Since the backpacking adventure, she understands more fully the role that work played in her life for so long. “Work was reliable. I knew what I was doing. I’m a workaholic to this day,” she says. “I’ve just realised on this yoga retreat that I have to let go of all that. The penny is dropping for me now.”4．Why did Halloran cry before returning to London?A．Because she didn’t enjoy living alone.B．Because she was unwilling to live with rabbits.C．Because she wasn’t used to travelling for a long time.D．Because she couldn’t bear to part from the freedom in the mountain.5．What made Halloran a workaholic?A．Her desire to earn more.B．Her goal to settle comfortably.C．Her wish to overcome sorrow.D．Her plan to save money for travelling. 6．What can we draw from Halloran’s experience in Nepal?A．It is never too old to learn.B．An idle youth, a needy age.C．East or west, home is the best.D．Success belongs to the persevering.7．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A．Money is not necessary for Halloran any more.B．Halloran has realized something more meaningful.C．Halloran will make a tighter budget for her next trip.D．Nothing can be equal to Halloran’s salary from work.For all of human history, eating meat has meant killing animals. But scientists behind lab-grown meat say that’s no longer necessary. They produce meat by growing cells obtained from an animal’s body.Lab-grown meat, also called “cell-cultivated” or “cultured” meat, is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat. When ready, the meat is formed into shapes such as sausages or nuggets (块), and looks, smells and tastes like any other grocery store version,Recently, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given two companies approvalto sell lab-grown chicken. The approval launches a new era of meat production aimed at eliminating harm to animals, and reducing the environmental impacts of grazing (放牧) and growing feed for animals. Scientists warn that the typical way meat is produced now, in concentrated animal feeding operations, is a risk factor for the emergence of diseases.Lab-grown meat is more sustainable and can be produced without antibiotics, and without producing greenhouse gas emissions linked to animal agriculture.“Everything we know about how meat can be made is going to change. But don’t expect to see cultivated meat in grocery stores just yet,” said Uma Valeti, CEO of UPSIDE Foods. Lab-grown chicken is much more expensive, because it cannot yet be produced on the scale of traditional meat.“To make cultivated meat, energy use needs are high,” said Bruce Friedrich, president and founder of the Good Food Institute, a nonprofit group that promotes alternative proteins. However, the disadvantage of high energy needs will be offset by the reduction in land and water use and other benefits. If cultured meat is produced on a large scale, it could also offer a solution to feeding the world’s growing population.8．What do we know about lab-grown meat?A．It is abundant in plant proteins.B．It can be bought in grocery stores.C．It is generated from animals’ cells.D．It tastes more delicious than traditional meat.9．What is the potential benefit of lab-grown meat?A．Higher safety for eating.B．Lower costs for restaurants.C．Improvements in traditional agriculture.D．Positive impacts on climate change and animals.10．What problem does the author mention in paragraph 4?A．It is hard to produce lab-grown meat in quantity.B．The USDA doesn’t approve the sale of lab-grown meat.C．Many people raise doubts about the safety of lab-grown meat.D．Lab-grown meat can disturb competition in the meat industry.11．What does the underlined word “offset”in the last paragraph mean?A．Balanced.B．Satisfied.C．Increased.D．Exchanged.It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion(侵蚀) by sand and wind.The team is dedicated to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals(壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.Commonly seen“diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking (剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration.“Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su.“When you pursue the so-called intact(完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.”Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible.12．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?A．To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals.B．To explain the history of the ancient Silk Road.C．To stress the significance of the restoration work.D．To present the ways of protecting cultural heritage.13．Which of the following best describes the restoration work?A．Creative.B．Well-paid.C．Interesting.D．Demanding.14．What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4?A．Spotting the faded murals in time.B．Fixing the missing parts of murals.C．Making preservation of the murals as they are.D．Repainting to perfect the appearance of murals.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings.B．The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves.C．The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation.D．The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture.二、七选五Reversal—change your perspective and solve your problem It’s often your definition of a problem that limits you in finding a suitable solution. Creative solutions require a change of perspective. 16The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based on the thought that to change your perspective, you sometimes need to change the order of the words in your problem definition.How you change the order of the words doesn’t matter much, as long as the key words are reversed. 17 Your challenge is “How do we make sure that fewer people take cars to their work?”. Swapping (交换) the key words, you could rephrase this challenge as “How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work?”.Not every problem statement is suitable for a reversal. Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether. 18 For instance, the question “How might we sell more washing machines?” is not easily reversed—there is no key word to swap with “washing machines”. Yet, when you rephrase the question to “How might we sell more washing machines to young parents?”, you can easily change it to “How might we sell more young parents to washing machines?”. 19 You could interpret this last sentence as “the washing machine pays the young parents to try it out”。
2023~2024 学年福州市高三年级第一次质量检测 英语试题
2023~2024 学年福州市高三年级第一次质量检测英语试题IntroductionIn the academic year 2023~2024, the first quality assessment for the senior high school students in Fuzhou City was conducted, evaluating their proficiency in the English language.

Namibia.BGoing against the tide of flocking(蜂拥)to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts to seek unique, relaxed holiday experiences. Reverse Tourism has emerged as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations, which often require priceytickets, meals and hotel stays. "Tourism used to be about sightseeing. Now it is about experiences," said Dai , president of the China Tourism Academy. He said popular tourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays. As people become more mature travelers, they are increasingly unwilling to follow the herd. Some of them are simply looking to take a rest somewhere quiet for a couple of days, which is a good way to vacation.In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial" and “standardized" as developed ones and are able to offer more genuine experiences and natural encounters, according to social media posts. And unlike popular destinations, some under-explored places with little online exposure can offer more surprises. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling Reverse Tourism. As precautionary measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. A traveler has no way of knowing what lies ahead before departure, be it a perfect holiday or one interrupted by a sudden outbreak."The rise of Reverse Tourism is not a bad thing, ," said an opinion piece in Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market, the article explains. More importantly, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their achievements, it noted.24. What is the feature of Reverse Tourism according to the passageA. Less-traveled places are increasingly valued among young holidaymakers.B. Popular destinations often raise their prices during holidays.C. Popular destinations are not welcomed by people nowadays.D. Less-traveled places offer less attractive sightseeing.25.

Food deserts affect low-income areas far from supermarkets. Over 23 million Americans live in low-income areas located more than one mile from a food store. Over 11 million people living in these regions are themselves low-income. While people in food deserts may have easier access to convenience stores and fast food, they experience more challenges in shopping at large grocery stores that offer a more comprehensive(全面的)selection of healthy foods at lower prices. This inequality in food access means that families, children, and communities living in food deserts may be at increased risk of obesity and other diet-related health issues, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease.While the existing literature on the lack of accessible, affordable foods has not reached a consensus on the root causes of food deserts, several factors are regularly recognized. Urban areas lacking access to fresh foods are generally divided by racial and economic lines. Diets rich in more nutritious foods cost around $1.50 more per day. For individuals and families living paycheck to paycheck, this cost difference can significantly impact their food choices. For people living in the countryside, they must travel many miles to the nearest store; a lack ofaccess to a vehicle and limited or nonexistent public transportation contribute to food accessibility challenges.Lack of business investment also. plays a big part. When large food stores consider possible locations, low-income areas can appear to be "too risky" of an investment. More economically depressed （萧条的）areas can increase a business's insurance and security costs. Even public utility（设施）challenges, like poorly maintained roads, can prevent big companies from setting up shops in neighborhoods that most need their goods and services, according to Harvard Business Review. These market conditions have a great effect on food accessibility for high-poverty regions.28 What do we know about a food desertAgriculture is impossible there.People there have limited access to healthy foods.Many fast food restaurants are located there.D. People there are too poor to feed the family.29. What is a key reason for food desertsA. Poor health care.B. Dangerous environment.C. Business failure.D. A low income.30. What does the underlined word "consensus" in paragraph 3 probablymeanA. A general agreement.B. A balanced diet.C. A contributing factor.D. An inspiring achievement.31. What are the last two paragraphs mainly aboutA. Ways lo make food choices.B. The causes of food deserts.C. The problems with transportation.D. Principles of business investment.DArtificial Intelligence (AI) tools have become extremely powerful, surprising even their creators. Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie about an Al or robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. The Al in stories like these is known as AGI or Artificial General Intelligence. True AGI would be intelligent in many different areas and would be able to learn on its own. Currently, there is no real AGI. Most experts believe it will be many years before an AGI could possibly be created.Scientists have been working to improve AI models, mainly by training the models on larger and larger collections of information. Those efforts are paying off.The AI tool that has gotten the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company Open AI. ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent, which answers quickly in perfect sentences, makes up stories and games, writes essays and much more. Another powerful model called GPT-4 is also developed by the same company. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests.The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people. Last week, many computer experts released a letter calling for a six-month pause in any work on AI tools stronger than GPT-4.The letter claimed AI companies were in a race to create "powerful digital minds" that no one could "understand, predictor control". The group behind the letter wants governments to develop laws to make sure AI tools are safe. Not all AI experts agree with the letter. Some say the letter makes today's AI tools sound more intelligent than they really are. Others say it's more important to worry about real problems in current AI tools rather than imaginary ones in the future.ChatGPT has caused so much excitement that many companies are likely to keep developing powerful Al tools. But the letter has sent a strong warning that many people~-including leaders will be thinking about carefully.32. Why are the book and movie mentioned in Paragraph 1A. To indicate an Al or robot is smart enough.B. To clarify Al will take over the world.C. To state the threat of Al to its creators.D. To show the surprising power of Al.33. What can be inferred about ChatGPT from Paragraph 2A. It produces perfect language response.B. It trains AI models on how to present information.C. It has difficulty in understanding jokes.D. It offers practical instructions on essay-writing skill34. What's the letter's attitude to Chat GPTA. Indifferent.B. Favorable.C. Disappointed.D. Concerned.35. What is the text mainly aboutA. Why AI tools are beneficial to us.B. Why AI tools are accessible to the public.C. Whether AI tools are becoming too powerful.D. Whether AI tools are more intelligent than human minds.第二节(共5小题;每题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。

When the secret starting date is unknown, secret or subject to change, D day is the reference point which helps planners arrange every step of a campaign. For example, the day before D day is D - ; the day after: D+1,D+2 and so on.The letter D here stands for Day, so D day actually means Day day. More commonly the term has a military usage. In fact, it came into being during the First World War, but it was during the Second that D day got its common usage.The beginning of the end of the Second World War was the allied landing of Europe, and D day was its starting date. After months of careful planning, the exact day was fixed for June 5,1994.

They are in Northern Pennsylvania‘s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows, mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction . To protect the Pocono‘s natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy（大自然保护协会）named the area one of America‘s ―Last Great Places‖.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond , Pennsylvania, the conservancy‘s head Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By creating partnership with people like Francis Altemose , the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally importantland in the area .Altemose‘s family has farmed in the Pocono area for ge nerations. Two years ago Francis worked with the conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program . As a result, the family‘s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson .Cook attributes the Conservancy‘s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents,―The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,‖ Cook said. ―The people who live there respect the land.‖ They value quiet forests , clear streams and abundant wildlife . They are eager to help with conservation effort.For more information on how you can help The Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world‘s other ―Last Great Places,‖ please call 1-888-5646864, or visit us on the World Wide Web at www. tnc. org.69．We learn from the passage that .A．the population in the Pocono area is growingB．wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC．the security of the Pocono residents is being threatenedD．farmlands in the Pocono area are expanding70．What is important in protecting the Poconos according to Cook ?A．The setting up of an environmental protection website .B．Support from organizations like the Nature Conservancy .C．Cooperation with the local residents and business leaders .D．Inclusion of farmlands in the region‘s protection system.71．What does Cook mean by ―having a local presence‖ (in Para. 5)?A．Financial contributions from local business leadersB．Consideration of the interests of the local residentsC．The establishment if a wild protection foundation in the area.D．The setting up of a local Nature Conservancy branch in the Pocono area72．The passage most probably is .A．an official document B．a news storyC．an advertisement D．a research report(C)For years, doctors advised their patients that the only thing taking multivitamins does is to give them extensive urine (尿). After all, true vitamin deficiencies (缺乏) are practically unheard of in industrialized countries. Now it seems those doctors may have been wrong. The results of a growing number of studies suggest that even a modest vitamin shortfall can be harmful to your health. Although proof of the benefits of multivitamins is still far from certain, the few dollars you spend on them is probably a good investment.Or at least that‘s the argument put forward in the New England Journal of Medicine. Ideally, say Dr. Walter Willett and Dr. Meir Stampfer of Harvard, all vitamin supplements would be evaluated in scientifically rigorous clinical trials. But those studies can take a long time and often raise more questions than they answer. At some point, while researchers work on figuring out where the truth lies, it just makes sense to say the potential benefit outweighs (超过) the cost.Despite vitamin C‘s great popularity, consuming large amounts of it still has not beenpositively linked to any great benefit. The body quickly becomes filled with C and simply excretes (排泄) any excess.The multivitamins question boils down to this: Do you need to wait until all the evidence is in before you take them, or are you willing to accept that there‘s enough evidence that they don‘t hurt and could help? If the latter, there‘s no need to go to extremes and buy the biggest horse pills or the most expensive bottles. Large doses can cause trouble, including excessive bleeding and nervous system problems.Multivitamins are no substitute for exercise and a balanced diet, of course. As long as you understand that any potential benefit is modest and subject to further refinement, taking a daily multivitamin makes a lot of sense.73．At one time doctors discouraged taking multivitamins because they believed that multivitamins__ __.A．could not easily be absorbed by the human bodyB．were potentially harmful to people‘s healthC．were too expensive for daily consumptionD．could not provide any cure for vitamin deficiencies74．It can be seen that large doses of multivitamins .A．may bring about serious side effectsB．may help prevent excessive bleedingC．are likely to induce the blockage of arteriesD．are advisable for those with vitamin deficiencies75．The author concludes the passage with the advice that___ _.A．the benefit of daily multivitamin intake outweighs that of exercise and a balanced diet B．it‘s risky to take multivitamins without knowing their specific functionC．the potential benefit of multivitamins can never be overestimatedD．it‘s reasonable to take a rational (合理的) dose of multivitamins daily(D)As soon as it was revealed that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group of firearm fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now lobbying against any legislation (立法) to stop Americans from owning one.―The Constitution(宪法),‖ said the association‘s spokesman, ―gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesn‘t spell out what kind of a rms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able to buy it to protect themselves.‖―Don‘t you think it‘s dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?‖―The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked cabinet and the fuse (导火索) separately in a drawer.‖―Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody.‖The spokesman said, ―Hydrogen bombs don't kill people—people kill people. The bomb is for self protection and it also has a deterrent effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they're going to think twice about breaking in.‖―But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that if you have onelocked in the cabinet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to assemble it in time to stop an intruder.‖―Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns.‖76．According to the passage, some people started a national association so as to .A．block any legislation to ban the private possession of the bombB．support the mass production of the destructive weaponC．instruct people how to keep the bomb safe at homeD．promote the large-scale sale of this newly invented weapon77．By saying that the bomb also ―has a deterrent effect‖ the spokesman means that it .A．will frighten away any possible intrudersB．can show the special status of its ownersC．will threaten the safety of the owners as wellD．can kill those entering others' houses by force78．According to the passage, opponents of the private ownership of H-bombs are very much worried that .A．the influence of the association is too powerful for common people to overcomeB．poorly-educated Americans will find it difficult to make use of the weaponC．the wide use of the weapon will push up living expenses tremendouslyD．the cost of the weapon will put citizens on an unequal basis79．From the tone of the passage we know that the author is .A．strongly doubtful about the necessity of keeping H-bombs at home for safetyB．unhappy with those who vote against the ownership of H-bombsC．not serious about the private ownership of H-bombsD．concerned about the spread of nuclear weapons(E)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A –F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.80．Navigation computers, now sold by most car – makers, cost $ 2,000 and up. No surprise, then, that they are most often found in luxury cars, like Lexus, and Audi. But it is a developing technology – meaning prices should eventually drop market does seem. growing.81．Even at current prices, a navigation computer is impressive. It can guide you from point to point in most major cities with precise turn – by – turn directions spoken by a clear human –sounding voice, and written on a screen in front of the driver.82．The computer woks an antenna that takes signals from no fewer than three of the 24 global positioning system (GPS) satellites. By measuring the time required for a signal to travel between the satellites and the antenna, the car‘s location can be pinned down within 200 meters.83．The satellite signals, along with inputs on speed from a wheel – speed sensor and direction from a meter, determine the car‘s position even as it moves. This information is combined with a map database. Street, landmarks and points of interest are included.84．Most system are basically the same. The differences come in hardware –the way the computer accepts the driver‘s request for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions. On most systems, a driver enters a desired address, motorway junction or point of interest by a torch screen or disc. But the Lexus screen goes a step further: you can point to any spot on the map screen and get directions to it.第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I．TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the Brackets. 1．在夏天，人们可以用空调和电扇来调节室内温度。
