AMarathon is the supreme discipline of long-distance running. They are not only attractive for top athletes, but also for hobby runners. The choice of events is almost endless. Now we have put together some most breathtakingly beautiful ones that you’ll be tempted (诱惑) to run holding a camera.Ultra-trail Angkor, CambodiaThe newest of a series of Angkor marathons, this endurance test offers 32-km, 64-km and 128-km routes around the famous temples, including Bayon and Angkor Wat. Watch out for monkeys, and the gigantic tree vines that memorably hug some of the great buildings.Dodo Trail, MauritiusCrossing rugged coastline and tropical forests, the Dodo Trail is full of wildlife, although the famous dodo bird remains, sadly, extinct. While the demanding 50km Xtreme route covers 828m-high Black River Peak, a beginner-friendly Mini Dodo Trail (10 km) is easier.Great Ocean Road marathon, AustraliaAnother well-known scenic coastal drive, southern Australia’s Great Ocean Road stages a footrace every May. Neck-ache could be a problem: in one direction lies the scenic South Sea, and in another handsome forest and, if you’re lucky, a koala or two. Be warned, however, that the series of steep slopes make this one of the toughest marathons.Big Five marathon, South AfricaMarathon meets safari at the privately owned Entabeni Game Reserve every June. The start time is dependent on the race-day location of the Big Five members – African elephants, Cape buffalo, lions, leopards and rhinos – as organizers try to guarantee sightings.1. Which marathon is suitable for less experienced runners?A. Ultra-trail Angkor.B. Dodo Trail.C. Great Ocean Road marathon.D. Big Five marathon.2. Why does the writer mention “neck-ache” in Great Ocean Road marathon?A. To highlight the wonderful scenery.B. To present the difficulty of the event.C. To attract attention to physical health.D. To warn runners of dangerous animals.3. What do the four marathons have in common?A. Risky and tiring routes.B. Beautiful coastal views.C. Chances to see wild animals.D. Fixed time for annual events.BMany people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success, but research has found that moderation(适度) also gets results on the job.In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University, researchers asked people to translate sentences into a new a made-up language. Subjects who practiced the language moderately beforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all. High levels of knowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields the arts, sciences, and politics. High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance, especially in simple jobs where it doesn’t pay to be a perfectionist.How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examination in many workplaces. The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is probably seen as a go-getter, while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looks from the corner office. “People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does are shocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer”, says Art Markman, a professor of psychology at the University of Texas, Austin. Social interaction has been shown to lift mood(情绪) and get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-lunch effort.Markman also promotes off-task time. “Part of being a good thinker is experiencing things that are seemingly unrelated to what you are working on at the moment but give you fresh ideas about your work,” he says. “Also, there is a lot of research showing that a positive mood leads to higher levels of productivity and creativity. So, when people do things to increase their life satisfaction, they also make themselves more effective at work.”4. What does Ellen Langer’s study show?A. It is worthwhile to be a perfectionistB. Translation makes people knowledgeable.C. Simpler jobs require greater caution.D. Moderate effort produces the best result.5. The underlined word “go-getter” in paragraph 3 refers to someone Who_______.A. is good at handling pressureB. works hard to become successfulC. a has a natural talent for his job.D. gets on well with his co-workers6 . What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A good thinker is able to inspire other people.B. Experience unrelated to your job is useless.C. A cheerful mood helps make a creative mind.D. Focusing on what you do raises productivity.7 . What does the text seem to advocate?A. Middle-of-the-road work habits.B. Balance between work and family.C. Long-standing cultural traditions.D. Harmony in the work environment.CClothes were once used until they fell apart. Not today. In high-income countries in particular, clothing and footwear are increasingly frequently bought, thrown away and replaced with new fashions, which are themselves soon thrown away and replaced.The so-called ‘Fast fashion’ is having a surprising environmental impact. ‘Take water. The fashion industry, one of the world’s largest users of water, consumes anywhere from 20 trillion to 200 trillion litres every year. ‘Then there are microplastics. Plastic fibres are released when we wash polyester (聚酯纤维) and other polymer-based textiles, and make up between 20% and 35% of the micro plastics choking the oceans. Added to this are specific chemicals, suchas those used to make fabrics stain resistant and the pesticides required to protect crops such as cotton.Change is badly needed, but will require the fashion industry to work harder to embrace more of what is known as the circular economy. That will involve at least two things: refocusing on making things that last, and so encouraging reuse; and more rapidly expanding the technologies for sustainable manufacturing processes, especially recycling. There’s a big role for research--both academic and industrial--in achieving these and other ambitions.Researchers could begin by helping to provide more accurate estimates of water use. There is also work to be done on improving and expanding textiles recycling. Undoubtedly, used textiles go to landfill in part because there are relatively few systems that collect, recycle and reuse materials. Such recycling requires the manual separation of fibres, as well as buttons and zips. Different fibres are not easy to identify by eye, and overall such manual processes are time-consuming. Machinery is being developed that can help. Technologies also exist to recycle used fibres chemically and to create high-quality fibres that can be reused in clothing. But these are nowhere near the scale needed.Another challenge for researchers is to work out how to get consumers and manufacturers to change their behavior. Other research questions include finding ways to encourage people to purchase long lasting goods; exploring how to satisfy desires for something new while reducing environmental impact; and understanding why certain measures can be successfully scaled up whereas others fail.8. Why does the author mention “water”, “microplastics” and “chemicals” in Paragraph 2?A. To introduce a topic.B. To prove a point.C. To provide an idea.D. To give a definition.9. Which of the following goes against the concept of “circular economy”?A. Efforts are made to lengthen the lifespan of textiles.B. Worn-out clothes are used as dishcloths and oil rags.C. High-quality fibres are created to be reused in clothing.D. Fashion industry is encouraged to release new designs more often.10. What is the right thing for the fashion industry researchers to do?A. To make sure that all of the used textiles go to landfill.B. To separate fibres, as well as buttons and zips manually.C. To improve and expand textile recycling to a larger extent.D. To encourage consumers to satisfy their desires for fashion.11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Say no to the so-called fast fashionB. Address the challenges for researchersC. Embrace more of the circular economyD. Cut fast fashion’s environmental impactDQuantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype (炒作) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they can’t keep. “What’snew,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential. If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand.” And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016. Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin (幅度)” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an impactful problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims? I don’t know. I’m certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.12．Regarding Johnson’s concerns, the author feels ________.A. sympatheticB. unconcernedC. doubtfulD. excited13. What leads to Taylor’s optimism about quantum computing?A . His dominance in physics. B. The competition in the field.C. His confidence in PyQuantum.D. The investment of tech companies.14. What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. Open.B. Cool.C. Useful.D. Resistant.15. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Is Johnson More Competent Than Taylor?B. Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology?C. Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being?D. Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype?第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Rather than the standard working day of nine to five, employees are working more flexibly to meet their busy home lives. Advances in technology are ___31___ the very nature of the tasks and skills required in the workplace.To gain a full perspective of how the workplace is set to change over the next decade, employee benefits provider Unum UK ___32___ with The Future Laboratory to survey 3,000 workers across several industries. They also interviewed industry experts and business leaders on topics from artificial intelligence and robotics to the increase of flexible working and an ageing workforce.The result outlines some of the employment changes that businesses can expect to see over the next decade and predicts the ___33___ of two worker cultures which will dominate the workforce. They are the obligated and the self-fulfilled workers.“Obligated workers” refer to people with dependents and the sandwich generation, ___34___ raising children with caring for elderly parents. Therefore, they value a career ___35___ to life stages and events and financial security. Joel Defries, 33, father of one kid an d partner at London Vodka said, “A flexible employer will allow me to have a long paternity leave (陪产假) and to value my family just as much as I value my job.”Self-fulfilled workers are committed to life-long learning and acquiring new skills rather than ___36___ to an employer.

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.Early decision — you apply to one school, and admission is binding (有法律约束力的) — seems like a great choice for nervous applicants. Schools ___41___ a higher percentage of early-decision applicants, which arguably means that you have a better chan ce of being enrolled. And if you do, you’re done with the whole painful process by December. But most students and parents don’t realize that schools have hidden ___42___ foroffering early decision.Early decision, since it’s binding, allows schools to fi ll their classes with qualified students; it allows ___43___ committees to select the students that are in particular demand for their college and know those students will come. It also gives schools a higher yield rate (优秀学生率), which is often used as one of the ways to ___44___ college selectivity and popularity.The problem is that this process effectively ___45___ the window of time students have to make one of the most important decisions of their lives up to that point. Under ___46___ admissions, seniors have to choose which school to attend until May 1; early decision effectively steals six months from them, months that could be used to visit more schools, do more research, speak to current students and alumni (校友) and make a more ___47___ decision.For any given student in America, whatever their levels are, there are a number of schools that are a great ___48___. When students become too fixed on a particular school early in the admissions process, that fixation can lead to ___49___ severe disappointm ent if they don’t get in or, if they do, it is likely that they are now bound to go to a school that, given time for further ___50___, may not actually be right for them.Early decision offers a genuine admissions edge. That advantage goes largely to students who already have ___51___ advantages. The students who use early decision tend to be those who have received higher-quality college guidance, usually a result of coming from a more advantaged background. ___52___, there’s an argument against early deci sion, as students from lower-income families are far less likely to have the admissions know-how (招生诀窍) to ___53___ figure out the often confusingearly deadlines.Students who have done their research and are confident that there’s one school they would b e thrilled to get into should, under the current system, probably ___54___ under early decision. For students who haven’t yet done enough research, or who are still constantly changing their minds on favorite schools, the early-decision system needlessly and prematurely ___55___ the field of possibility just at a time when students should be opening themselves to a whole range of thrilling options.41. A. let in B. turn down C. make up D. give away42. A. dangers B. costs C. assumptions D. purposes43. A. admissions B. joint C. inquiry D. investigative44. A. detail B. measure C. achieve D. represent45. A. neglects B. provides C. shortens D. marks46. A. future B. regular C. random D. compulsory47. A. informed B. honoured C. imposed D. complicated48. A. fit B. aid C. hit D. net49. A. therefore B. otherwise C. however D. furthermore50. A. comment B. enhancement C. implication D. reflection51. A. mutual B. favourite C. numerous D. temporary52. A. In other words B. In this regard C. In particular D. In brief53. A. hesitantly B. relatively C. deliberately D. efficiently54. A. consult B. volunteer C. adjust D. apply55. A. occupies B. encloses C. narrows D. exploresSection 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 thepassage you have just read.(A)One recent night, while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked. “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.” In other words, ideals —general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others — can often lead us to unreasonable ideas. It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people. We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America. The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes: Jewish people were “greedy,” Mexicans were “poorly educated,” and Asians were “good at math.” These labels were taught to us from a young age. They wormed their way into our belief systems, harming how we came to see others. It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true. The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination (歧视).You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people. Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials (千禧一代) being described as “monkish,” or “dad-fashion (复古作风)” which has given the “greasy middle-aged men” tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.It’s about time that we, as a society, walked away from generalizations and stereotypes. I leave you with the words ofMartin Luther King Jr. from his famous “I Have a Dream” speech: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual, you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.56. According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?A. By describing people’s personalities.B. By truly getting to know those around.C. By observing their noticeable features.D. By following Martin Luther King’s speech.57. According to the author, a culture of discrimination appears because ________.A. people live in places of various racesB. people are born with unreasonable ideasC. prejudices slightly influence people’s be lief systemD. people usually make judgments without thinking twice58. Examples of “millennials” and “dad-fashion” are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal ________.A. generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB. generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC. generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged ChineseD. generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry59. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A. the common prejudiceB. people’s expectat ion of themselvesC. the groundless worriesD. the famous speech of Martin Luther King(B)When you cross deep water driving too fast, you risk splashing water up into the air box and having it get sucked into the internal engine, which is more common than you think. There are a few steps you should take to clear the water out before you try to start it:1. First, drain the fuel tank, fuel lines and the oil. While it's draining, put a fan on the wiring and dry it out. Remove and clean the carburetor (化油器).2. Take the plugs out of the engine and turn it over to force any water out. Water will come out with the oil. Add oil to the engine and turn it over again, without the plug in. Let it sit for a while, then observe the oil to tell if there's any water in it (it will look like a white milky substance if there is water mixed with the oil). If it's there, drain it again and start over until there is little or no white showing in the oil.3. Now re-install the spark plug, add gas, then try to start the engine. You should have a can of ether (乙醚) handy just in case it's stubborn, but don't use too much. If it starts, let it run for a few minutes without making it work faster.4. After it runs for several minutes, shut it off, drain the oil and change the filter(过滤网). Run it again for a few minutes then shut it off and checks again for milky colored oil. If you have none, you should be good to go.5. If you cannot start the engine, you may have already ruined it and you will probably need to seek a professional to repair it, or, more likely, you'll have to replace it.60. According to the passage, a driver turns the engine over after oil is added to it so that he can _______.A. drain the oil and change the filter without any difficultyB. re-install the spark plug and get ready to start the car againC. make a milky substance which is the mixture of water and oilD. see whether there is any water in the engine by checking the oil61. The underlined word “stubborn” in paragraph 4 may probably means ________.A. reluctant to changeB. hard to switch onC. insufficient to burnD. unable to take in62. This passage may be most helpful to ________.A. a policeman who knows much about car accidentsB. a secretary who has just driven across a small pondC. a driver who is incapable of fixing the car by himselfD. a teacher who is to carry out her routine car maintenance(C)One of the features of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to constantly push into new territory. Without growth and innovation, businesses eventually fade away. Those with staying power, however, have mastered an often-overlooked factor that allows them to focus on the future clearly: empathy (共情). While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others —empathy in its purest form — is the force that moves businesses forward.Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept of a traditional workplace — competitive, the reality is that for business leaders to experience success, they need to not just see or hear the activity around them, but also relate to the people they serve.Some may think they want the results from doggedly (顽强地) pursuing their goals without much thought for other people. This attitude works for some, but at some point — often sooner rather than later — everyone needs to rely on their relationships and established personal and professional connections. These relationships are the product of taking an honest and dedicated interest in others and their businesses. Successful people do not operate alone; each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us toward our goals. True empathy combines understanding both the emotional and the logical rationale(根据) that goes into every decision.Effectively understanding empathy involves viewing it as each person’s connection to the people and marketplace that surround them. A biological principle known as co-evolution explains that the adaptation of an organism is caused by the change of a related object. Similarly, businesses and their leaders participate in co-evolution-type relationships. Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt, build on the strengths around them, and relate to their environment. When businesses fail, it is often because leaders have stopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations. Successful business leaders are receptive to disturbance and aware of what is going on in their organizations both internally and externally.To develop an effective workforce, we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are. This can be frustrating and uncomfortable, particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a better solution. A critical part of developing empathy, however, is learning to understand, respect and implement another individual’s point of view rather than forcing your own.63. In the author’s opinion, if a company wants to achieve success, it must ________.A. frequently develop in new areasB. always stay pure and powerfulC. concentrate on its future developmentD. value much thought for others64. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. empathy generally depends on logical reasonsB. supports from others help to achieve ambitionsC. competition rarely exists in traditional workplacesD. striving for goals on one’s own is the key to success65. Which of the following examples can best illustrate the co-evolution principle?A. Th e boss is too occupied to realize that his employees’ income is below the average.B. The head of the news agency offers little bonus to the journalists who work extra hours.C. The principal promises flexible working hours after the school moves to the countryside.D. The factory director insists on increasing the output despite the declining market demand.66. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Empathy and Business SuccessB. The Formation of EmpathyC. Empathy and AggressivenessD. The Importance of EmpathySection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. BAT wanted to take action.B. Those who gave more tended to gain less.C. The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention.D. By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others — not themselves.E. Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion i n today’s world.F. After all, self-care, good mental health, positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself.We need to do more to help the teachers who are exhausted and stressedTeaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing —and we still have the numbers… by a lot. ______67______”“Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” Bri ce-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT).______68______ So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising — and not. If you’ve been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work “always” or “often” stressful; 27 percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonderwe’re seeing more stories about the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. ______69______We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care, along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one.We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators. ______70______ And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place — be a good teacher.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Online Pharmacy (药店): A Foreseeable TrendOnline pharmacies may replace corner drugstores in the future, which would be of benefit to all of us. Sadly, current Federal Drug Administration (FDA) restrictions prevent many Americans from gaining access to the medicines they require online. Fortunately, online pharmacies offer these drugs and provide patients with more treatment options at lower prices. Those calling for the restrictions are wrong. Online pharmacies are crucial to numerous people.While some drugs sold online aren’t FDA-approved, customers shouldn’t be prevented from buying them. Many of the herbal remedy (草药) online pharmacies offer have been usedfor hundreds of years, especially in Asian countries, and they have strong safety records. Other medicines may come from foreign countries, but they aren’t harming the people who use them in their own countries. Take depression pills as an example. It has been used safely for many years in France and other European countries, yet it’s just now being tested in the U.S.Nowadays, just getting in to see a doctor seems to take forever, not to mention the time and money to get tests done and await the results. Thanks to the Internet, customers now know more about available medicines than ever before and are therefore able to take them without having to consult a doctor. The Internet, after all, is filled with information about all kinds of drugs. Much of it has even been written by doctors and pharmaceutical companies themselves.Another issue to consider is money. Health care costs in America are rising every year, and pharmaceutical companies are making billions. Online pharmacies typically sell their drugs at lower prices than hospital pharmacies and corner drugstores. Consumers shouldn’t be blamed for seeking cheaper alternatives and refusing to line the pockets of already wealthy companies and stores.V.

In the game of diplomacy,seven players vied for control of Europe.On each turn,players issued orders regarding the movement of army and naval units,following discussion with other players, whom they could attack or support.There are two technical innovations noted by Jonathan Gratch,a computer scientist at the University of Southern California who studies negotiation agents.First,the AI agent's communication is grounded in multi-step planning.Second,the AI agent keeps its remarks and game play within the range of human common practices.To test its skill,the researchers had the AI agent play40online games against humans.It placed in the top10%of players who'd played at least two games."In a game that involves language and negotiation,that agents can reach human equal level is very exciting,"said Yu,a computer scientist at Columbia University.According to Brown,a computer scientist at the company who co-authored the paper,the work could lead to practical application in fields that now require a human touch.One specific example is that virtual personal assistants might help consumers negotiate for better prices on plane tickets.Gratch and Yu both see opportunities for agents that persuade people to make healthy choices or open up during therapy.56.Who is likely to benefit from the research work?A.A famous cyber athlete.B.A professor of civil law.C.A virtual fitness instructorD.A professional accountant.57.What does the underlined word"vied"mean in paragraph2?A.AccountedB.Apologized.C.Searched.peted58.Why does the author mention AI agent?A.To understand the thought of AI.B.To illustrate the advantage of AI.C.To describe the importance of AI.D.To introduce the strategy of AI.59.What is the best title for the text?A.Diplomacy,a Popular GameB.An Excellent Game PlayerC.AI Will Become a Perfect DiplomatD.AI Learns the Art of Diplomacy(B)Grading Policies for Introduction to LiteratureGrading Scale90-100A:80-89,B;70-79,C;60-69,D;Below60,E.EssaysYour four

now know that Facebook has long been aware its product Instagram has harmful effects on the mental health of many adolescent users.Young girls,in particular,struggle with their body image thanks to a constant stream of photos and videos showing beautiful bodies that users don't think they can attain.While the information the Journal covered is essential and instructive,it does not tell the whole story.Deep down,this is not an Instagram problem;it's a people problem.Understanding that distinction can make the difference between a failed attempt to contain a teen's interest in an addictive app and successfully addressing the underlying problem leading to mental distress induced（引发）by Instagram.Critics were quick to shame Facebook for sitting on the data and not releasing it to researchers or academics who asked for it.Others criticize the social media giant for not using the research to create a safer experience for its teen users.The anger,while understandable,is misplaced.While I'm reluctant to defend Facebook,I'm not sure it's reasonable to blame the company for withholding data that would hurt its business.Have you ever watched a Netflix series a lot?I assure you it wasn't a healthy endeavor.You were in active,likely did nothing productive, mindlessly snacked and didn't go outside for fresh air.It is an objectively harmful use of time to stare at a TV or laptop for a full weekend.Should we respond by shaming Netflix for not alertingus to how damaging an addictive product can be?While it's reasonable to say Instagram makes esteem issues worse,it is impossible to believe it causes them in the first place.You create your own experiences on social media.For the most part,you choose which accounts to follow and engage.If you're already vulnerable to insecurities and self-sabotage（自损）--as many teens are--you will find accounts to obsess over.And this isn't a new phenomenon.Before social media,there were similar issues fueling self-esteem issues.Whether the target be magazines,movies or television show depicting difficult-to-attain bodies,there has been a relatively steady chorus（异口同声）of experts nothing the damage new media could cause young viewers.Self-esteem issues have an underlying cause--one that's independent of social media use. Instagram merely enhances those feelings because it provides infinitely more access to triggers than older forms of media.It's more worthwhile to address those underlying factors rather than to attack Facebook.63.The author thinks the criticism against Instagram_________.A.are successful attempts to change teens'interest in addictive appsB.address the Instagram-induced mental painC.are only based on the data released by FacebookD.are not directed at the fundamental problemflix is mentioned to_________.pare the criticisms against it and FacebookB.defend why Facebook is to blameC.suggest the critics'remarks are not to pointD.show Netflix does more harm to teens65.The Instagram problem is essentially a"people problem"in that_________.A.it is human nature to get addicted to social mediaers decide on their experiences on social mediaC.people have a tendency to feel insecure onlineD.people are keen on fabricating their self-profile66.What is the passage mainly about?A.The unprecedented criticism facing Facebook.B.The alarming online habits of teenagers worldwide.C.The root cause of Instagram-induced mental strains.D.The harmful impact of Instagram on teenagers.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Art is another area where forgery is decreasing due to the resulting profits.B.DNA could be used to expose fraud in the art world,too.C.If the technology continues to evolve,consumers could someday bring handheld bar coders to the table.D.Simple confusion might explain some of the differences,since fish species can be hard to tell apart.E.The DNA molecule is capable of storing vast amounts of data and can survive for thousands of years.F.To solve this problem,some scientists have suggested attaching a small plastic label full of DNA to works of art.Authenticating Sushi...and PicassosA recent study of the seafood industry by Oceana,a conservation group,found that, nationwide,grocery stores mislabeled nearly one-fifth of all the fish they sold.Sushi restaurants were even worse,serving a fish other than what was promised on the menu three-quarters of the time.____67____But some merchants seemed to substitute cheap fish like tilapia for more expensive fare on purpose.DNA bar coding can help uncover such practices.By taking a bit of muscle from a fish and sequencing（测定序列）the DNA inside,scientists can quickly tell one species from another. Bar-coding technology is accessible enough that high-school students have used it to expose fraud （骗局）at restaurants.____68____.And they can see for themselves whether they're dreally getting the blue-fin tuna they ordered._____69_____Billions of dollars'worth of art changes hands every year,and some expertsestimate that40percent of it is fake.Professional authentication can help,but recent stories involving works said to have been painted by Jackson Pollock,Amedeo Modigliani,and others have shown that a skillful forger（制作赝品者）can fool even the most respected experts. ____70____Rather than using the artist's own DNA--which a thief could lift from clothes, rubbish,or hairs--these labels would contain DNA from another creature,with pieces of synthetic DNA woven in.To authenticate the piece,scientists would take DNA from the label,sequence the synthetic hits,and consult a database.Only if the sequence matched the database record would the piece be pronounced genuine.第II卷IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following three passages.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Vertical farming isn't actually a very new concept.The idea has existed since at least the 1950s.However,it was only recently that we began to seriously explore the idea,and put it forward as a solution to the world food crisis.So what has vertical farming got going for it?At present,over80per cent of the world's land that is suitable for farming is already being used.In order to grow enough food to feed the nine billion people that will be living on our planet in the middle of the21st century,we'll need TEN million more square kilometres of land--that's an area20per cent bigger than Brazil!The buildings used for vertical farming won't take up much space because they are tall--they're skyscrapers.They can be built in the middle of cities,where all the people are.The food would be on people's doorsteps,almost literally,so transport costs are minimal.That's great for helping to combat global warming and climate change.Another advantage is that all food could be grown organically.The crops would need less water than traditional ones because all the water is recycled.All the nutrients are recycled too.The only thing that actually leaves the building is the produce,the food.Vertical farming would create jobs too.Imagine the small businesses that would spring up around these farms--for packaging,distribution,catering,and so on--they would employ thousands of people.Where is it likely to happen?Who will benefit most from it?First and foremost,countries that don't have agriculture:cold countries,like Greenland and Iceland,and hot,desert countries, like Saudi Arabia.You would have sealed buildings in these places with an artificial climate--artificially warm in Iceland,artificially cool in a hot country.The social benefits are amazing and everybody gets good,healthy food.People have reacted really well to this idea--I think the idea is about to develop into reality.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.书展的门票只能提前一天在网上购买。

Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze(凝视) starts to lose its focus --- until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before tw o, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on),changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things m ake, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise(同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.60. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s____________.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smellCIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was ,in his words, “a brilliantly （精彩地）written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all .I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t .In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”,Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out ),I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten .But I am pleased to say that,unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one ,George Orwell’s 1984.I think it’s really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him,but haven’t lied about it either ) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J.k. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the bi g sellers, in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).64. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A .By judging his manner of speaking.B. By looking into his background.C. By mentioning a famous name.D. By discussing the book itself.65. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Dayreport?A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.B. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.C. The author admitted having read 9 books.D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.66. By lying about reading, a person hopes to _______________.A. control the conversationB. appear knowledgeableC. learn about the bookD. make more friends67. What is the a uthor’s attitude to 58% of readers?A. Favorable.B. UncaringC. DoubtfulD. FriendlyDThe National GalleryDescription:The National Gallery is the British national art museum built on the north side of Trafalgar Square in London.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, used one word that best fits each blank.An implant that can cool nerves to block pain signals has been unveiled by researchers who say the device could offer an alternative to drugssuch as opioids (类鸦片活性肽).The team behind the device say it could bring benefits for management of acute pain such as (21)_______ experienced after amputations (截肢)or nerve grafts."We are optimistic that this represents a very promising starting point for an engineering approach (22)_______ treating pain,” said Prof John Rogers of Northwestern University in the US, a co-author of the research. But he cautioned that it might be some time (23) _______ they were available to patients. "As with any implantable device, the regulatory process can be slow, typically (24) _______ (involve) much more extensive animal model studies over a period of years," he said.Writing in the journal Science, the team report that the device to block pain signals, which (25) _______(test) only on rats so far, involves a pump, external control system and an implant made from a soft, rubbery substance. The latter forms a sealed collection of tiny channels which form a twisting path in the part of the implant that sits around the target nerve like a cuff.When liquid coolant and dry nitrogen flow through the implant, the liquid causes a drop in temperature. An electronic sensor in the device allows the temperature at the nerve (26) _______(keep) constant."All body processes are based on metabolic chemical reactions, motions of ions and flows of fluids--all (27) _______slow down as a result ofcooling,” said Rogers. “ The net effect when cooling is applied to a nerve is in blocking of electrical signals."Among their experiments, the team tracked two rats with an injury, recording over a three- week period the minimum force that (28)_______be applied to the hind paw to cause the animal to retract (缩回)it. This data was then compared against three rats who were similarly injured but also had the implant. The results suggest bouts of cooling of the injured nerve from 37℃ to 10℃led to (29) _______(severe) pain, with a sevenfold increase in the force that could be applied to the paw. The team say the implant’s benefits include (30)_______, in contrast to opioids, it is not addictive. As the implant is made with water-soluble and biocompatible materials, it can break down in the body after use. The implant could be inserted as an extension of the patient’s initial surgery.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the -words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one more word than you need.A. attachedB. bottle-fedC. confusionD. invisibleE. originallyF. orphanedG. partneringH. procedureI. reproducedJ. subjectsK. unintentionallySaving Baby BearsReacting to the auditory assault of barking dogs, shouts and rifle blasts, a 168-pound American black bear shot out and hightailed (迅速逃走)it into the woods off a logging road.His sister, weighing in at 135 pounds, took a little more time to overcome her fear and (31) _______ before she, too, ran for the trees and away from the humans who had driven more than 100 miles to witness the bears’ return to the wild.The cubs were the 106th and 107th (32) _______ or injured bears to be raised or treated at the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) Wildlife Center in Washington state, then released months later in the same general area where they were (33) _______found. Fitted with GPS collars and tattooed with identification numbers on their gums, the bears are also among the latest (34) _______of a long-term research study being conducted by Rich Beausoleil and Lindsay Welfelt, both biologists and bear and cougar specialists.The siblings were only two weeks old when a forest worker and his dog (35) _______ disturbed their den in February 2020, scaring away their mother. She never returned.The worker contacted the WDFW, an agency (36) _______with PAWS to rehabilitate sick, injured wild animals before releasing them back into their natural habitats."Their eyes and ears weren't open, and their teeth hadn't evenerupted,Jennifer Convy, PAWS senior director of wildlife, said of the cubs, which each weighed less than 2 pounds when they arrived and were the youngest ever to be raised at the center.Though (37) _______at first, the cubs weren't cuddled. Instead, their caregivers wore bear- scented bear suits during feedings once the cubs' eyes had opened. At PAWS, the staff and volunteers take pains to be (38)_______to all the animals in their care."They don't see us, ever. We don't talk to them. We don't name the animals because we don't want our staff or volunteers to get (39)_______，“ Convy said. After more than a year, the bear siblings were released.The wildlife biologists are studying how the bears raised at PAWS fare after their release, compared to their wild-reared brethren. One cub released in 2017 had her first litter of cubs in January."We've been to her den several times." Beausoleil said. "She (40)_______ and had cubs of her own ... This was kind of a turning point for us."After all, the whole point of PAWS' rehabilitation "is to protect and perpetuate (使持续) the species," he said.III. Reading Comprehension (45 分)Section A (每题1分，共15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four wordsor phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Other da Vinci CodeFor centuries, two of the most intriguing questions about Leonardo da Vinci's "Mon a Lisa" were "Who " and "When ”A(n) (41) _______made at Heidelberg University in 2005 pretty much answered both. A note written in a manuscript in the library (42) _______the account of da Vinci's first biographer, Giorgio Vasari: that the sitter was a merchanfs wife, Lisa Gherardini. The note also helped date the masterpiece to between 1503 and 1506.A(n) (43)_______ mystery-"Where "- is still in dispute. But on June 3rd a French engineer, Pascal Cotte, declared that he and a collaborator had (44) _______the landscape in the background of the painting. Arguments had (45)_______ been made for stretches of countryside in the Marche region and between Milan and Genoa. During a presentation in Vinci, near Florence, Mr Cotte maintained that the artist was more plausibly depicting a part of his native Tuscany 一one that keenly interested him at the time. According to this theory, da Vinci represented the area not as it was, but as, in an unrealised scheme, he (46) _______ it to be.Mr Cotte, who was asked by the Louvre (where the "Mona Lisa" hangs) to create a digital image of the painting, is the inventor of themultispectral camera: a device that can detect not only the drawing below the (47) _______of an oil painting, but also, where they exist, intermediate layers of work. It was among these, under what appears to be a pointed rock, that he found a(n) (48) _______sketch showing that da Vinci meant it to represent a castellated tower.The landscape of the "Mona Lisa" also includes a huge overhanging cliff. That is (49)_______ to one that da Vinci included in a sketch of a fortress (堡垒)contested by Pisa and Florence in the war that flared between them in 1503 (around the time he was painting Gherardini). The (50)_______ with the nearby cliff ——and a tower, known as the Caprona tower 一all overlook the river Amo as it snakes from Florence to Pisa. All three also feature in drawings made by da Vinci to illustrate a plan about which, says Mr Cotte, he became “(51) _______”.This involved diverting the Amo to (52) _______Pisa's water supply and give Florence an outlet to the Mediterranean. In the early 1500s, with the two citystates at war, the idea was under active consideration. Mr Cotte argues that a(n) (53) _______ winding through desolate countryside at the right of the "Mona Lisa" is too wide to be a road, as some have speculated, and is(54) _______the driedup bed of the Amo as da Vinci envisaged (设想)it once his plan had been adopted.It never was. But if Mr Cotte's theory is right, it might just explain why Gherardini, a Florentine, exhibits such a contented, if mysterious, (55)_______。

In 1945, the world was on its knees. Cities lay in ruins, economies were destroyed, tens of millions of people were killed, and families across the globe were homeless and mourning the loss of loved ones. World War II, the deadliest human conflict of all time, had shattered people’s lives everywhere. From the ashes of this utter destruction rose the organization that we now know as the United Nations(UN), offering hope to a world desperate for lasting peace and security. It is my privilege and pleasure to stand before you today and share with you a little bit about this wonderful organization.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.The Story of LegoThe world-famous LEGO company has its origins in the workshop of a poor Danish carpenter, Ole Kirk Christiansen in the first half of the 20th century. Despite these humblebeginnings, it (21)__________ (grow) to become one of the most popular toys of all time.Ole, the tenth son in the family, earned a living (22) __________ (make) toys with his father. Finally,he became a master carpenter and in 1932 he set up (23) __________own business. He called thecompany LEGO,（24) __________means 'play weir in Danish. Unfortunately, ten years later his factoryburned down. However, despite being under great financial pressure, Ole had it (25) __________ (rebuild). This took three years and during that time he learnt of a British company whichspecialized in plastic moulding machines. (26) __________his managers thought they were tooexpensive, Ole still bought one. It was worth the investment. At the end of the decade, the company was producing a successful range of toys and interlocking bricks, an d Ole‟s son, Godtfred, had joined him in the business.Sadly, Ole didn‟t see (27) __________successful his company later became. He died at the age of66 and Godtfred became managing director. The modem brick design (28) __________ (patent) on 28January 1958, and bricks from that year are still compatible (兼容的) to bricks today.Unbelievably, in the 1960s, the LEGO factory was struck by lightning and burned to the ground again. After this, Godtfred had to rethink the direction of the company. This time,(29) __________the advice of his directors, he decided to concentrate mainly on the hugely successfulinterlocking plastic bricks.Godtfred's son, Kjeld, is the current Deputy-Chairman and (30) __________ (celebrate) thecompany's 80th anniversary, a short animate d film called “The LEGO story” was released in August 2012.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note thatOxford English Dictionary Adds New WordsIn June, the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED, added about 1,000 words and new definitions to its website. The changes are to help users understand a(n) 31__________ of terms, some dating back many centuries. The additions include words such as “brencheese”, “deathshildy” and “hip-pop.”The new entries are part of the company‟s update to , its 32 __________online dictionary for paid members. The OED makes changes to the website four times each year.But the latest print version has been in 33__________ since the year 2000, and may not be ready for 10 more years. That information comes from Katherine Connor Martin, who heads the company's dictionary operations in the United States.Usually, the OED watches 34 __________of a word for at least 10 years before deciding whether to add a new entry, new definition or word related to a(n) 35__________ entry, she said. This general rule, however, is sometimes not36__________. That is what happened with “tweet,” a word that the OED added far before the 10-year mark.Other times, the company adds words that are very old, but were not included in the dictionary in the past, "it's funny because we talk about new words, but many of the words we add are already old. It‟s just that they were never in the dictionary before,” Martin told the Associated Press.That is the reality, she said, of a(n) 37 __________dictionary trying to put more than 1,000 years of English into books that already have over 855,000 entries. So, you get “brencheese,” a rarely used term for when bread a nd cheese are eaten together. The word dates back to the year 1665. The word “deathshildy” is from Old English. It means someone who is 38__________ of a serious crime and sentenced to death.The website defines the term “hip-pop” for music that has 39__________ parts of hip-hop and popular music. The OED discovered the term “hip-hip pop” was used in a 1985 story from a Pennsylvania newspaper. It 40__________ that the term “hip-pop” appeared in a 1991 U.S. newspaper report about the rap artist M.C. Hammer.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.Once upon a time, much of the world was populated by wolves. They ranged all over the United States and Canada, Siberia and much of mainland Europe, as well as Great Britain, and if humans hadn't come along, they would still be there 41__________. But man did come along, farmedthe land, 42__________ the wolves , killing their livestockand so gradually drove them out of thehomes that had once been theirs.Wolves are not 43__________ in our language and our literature, however. In fairy stories, they are seen as evil and dangerous, always 44__________ to eat people. Remember the time when Little Red Riding Hood thinks that a wolf is her grandmother? 'What big teeth you've got, grandmother? ‟she says, and the wolf, disguised as her grandmother, shouts back, “All the better to eat you with, my dear!‟If you really want to see what English-speaking humans think of the wolf, just look at the 45__________! …A wolf in sheep‟s clothing‟ is not a pleasant person and a …wolf-whistle‟ is not a pleasant sound!Y et wolves are totally unlike the image we have of them from legend and language. For a start, they don't 46__________ humans; indeed they do their best to keep out of our way. They are very sociable animals, living in packs and looking after their young with a fondness that should make some humans 47__________ themselves. Far from wolf music being 48__________ , the howl of the wolf--the cry of the whole pack—as the full moon rises is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature. They are beautiful creatures which can run at speeds of up to 65 kph if they have to. They can jump up and run up rock faces like a cat. And when they do 49__________ , their 42 large teeth are fearsomely effective.But the 50__________ remains that we love the lion, the king of the jungle, while we demonise (妖魔化）the wolf, one of the most beautiful animals in the world. Only 51__________ do writers treat them nicely; 52 __________ a she-wolf is supposed to have fed the twins Remus and Romulus, who went on to found the city of Rome.And so, while man kills animals in their millions, often just for the fun of it, the wolf on the mountain, out in the wilderness, running over the Siberian wastes, represents a state of natural 53___________ that we do not know and can never obtain, even though we 54__________ it in our hearts. Perhaps that's why, in the end, we 55__________ the wolf so much一for having something we can never get our hands on.41.

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)The Khao San Road woke early. At five, car horns began sounding off in the street outside. Then the water pipes under the floor started to rattle as the guest-house staff took their showers. I even could hear their conversations.Lying on my bed, listening to the morning noises, the tension of the previous night became unreal and distant. Although I couldn't understand what the staff were saying to each other, their occasional laughter conveyed a sense of normality: they were doing what they did every morning, their thoughts connected only to routine. I imagined they might be discussing who would go for kitchen supplies in the market that day or who would be sweeping the halls.Around five-thirty a few bedroom-door bolts clicked open as the early-bird travellers emerged and the die-hard party goers from Patpong returned. I rea lised that the dreamless snatches of sleep I‟d managed were finished, so I decided to get up and have breakfast.There were already a few travellers at the tables, drinking glasses of black coffee. I began studying the menu, a once white sheet of A4 paper with such an excessive list of dishes I felt making a choice was beyond my ability. Then I was distracted by a delicious smell. A kitchen boy had wandered over with a tray of fruit pancakes. He distributed them to a group of Americans, cutting off a good-natured argument about train times to Ciang Mai.One of them noticed me eyeing their food and he pointed at his plate. …Banana pancakes,‟ he said. …The business.‟I nodded. They smell pretty good.，…T aste better. English?‟…Uh，huh.，…Been here long?‟'Since yesterday evening. Y ou?”“A week‟, he replied, and popped a piece of pancake in his mouth, looking away as he did so. I guessed that signaled the end of the exchange.The kitchen boy came over to my table and stood there, gazing at me expectantly through sleepy eyes."One banana pancake, please,' I said, obliged into making a quick decision.…Y ou wan‟ order one banan‟ pancake?‟…Please.‟…Y ou wan‟ order drink?‟…Uh, a Coke. No, a Sprite‟…Y ou wan‟ one banan‟ pancake, one Spri.‟“Please.”He walked back towards the kitchen, and a sudden feeling of happiness washed over me.56. The writer described the morning noises in order to__________.A. imply that he didn‟t sleep wellB. predict the morning would be differentC. compare the city's morning and nightD. show what a terrible dream he had57. According to the writer, what were the staff talking about?A. Their daily work.B. Their strange guests.C. Their normal supplies.D. Their night experience.58. The American let the writer know that he wouldn‟t like to go on with the conversation by__________A. asking the writer about the pancakeB. telling the writer what he likedC. stopping looking at the writerD. commenting on the pancake59. By the end of the passage, the writer felt he had recovered from __________.A. the depressionB. the nervousnessC. the injuryD. the tiredness(B)I have beard that it takes many more muscles to frown（皱眉头）than to smile. Is it true，and does that mean that smiling is easier?Phil Discarson, Preston, EnglandI read on a website () that the opposite is true. According to someone called Doctor Song, a plastic surgeon, you use 12 main muscles for a genuine smile, but only 11 for a frown. But he says that even though we use more muscles to smile, ifs actually easier because, since we smile more often than we frown, our smiling muscles are in better condition.Carl Preston, San Francisco, USA It depends what you mean by smiling. Remember that line from Shakespeare, “a man may smile and smile and be a villain' —I think it^ from his play Hamlet. Anyone can look as if they are smiling by using the zygomaticus major and minor (they pull up the comers of the mouth), the levator labii super ions (which pull up the mouth and the comers of the nose) and the risorius (which pulls the comer of the mouth to one side). But that's not a real smile. A real smile uses the orbicularis oculi, which encircle each eye, and so when you smile like this, these muscles tighten the skin round the eye to give that …crinkling‟ effect which creates …laughter‟ lines. That‟s a REAL smile!Sarah Green (Dr), Birmingham, UK Counting the muscles，it takes to smile and frown isn‟t the issue，for me. I am more interested in the fact that you can find examples of the saying that …it takes less effort to smile than to frown‟ as far back as the 19th century. That‟s because it‟s a piece of advice, not a scientific fact. …Smile, and the world smiles with you? is another saying like that. Others say that if you smile, you will almost always feel happier. So which comes first, the smile or the happiness?Well I just read some research, which said that when we smile (or frown), our bodies get the message, even if we are only pretending. Apparently, they got some people to pretend to be angry, sad, sick, etc., and use the appropriate facial expressions, and measured what happened to their bodies. And the unbelievable thing was that even though the test subjects knew they were acting, their bodies didn't. Their heart rates increased, their skin temperature got hotter and there were signs of sweating—all physical signals of real anger, etc.Felicity Poole, Amsterdam, Holland60. What can be concluded from the three replies to Phil Discarson‟s question?A. It is self-evident that frowning needs more muscles than smiling.B. More research has been carried out about smiling than frowning.C. There is no agreement as to whether frowning or smiling is easier.D. Adequate evidence has been found that smiling is better than frowning.61. According to Sarah Green, a real smile uses muscles that will have effect on______________.A. the comers of the mouthB. the comers of the noseC. the eyesD. the lines on the cheeks62. According to Felicity Poole, which of the following statements is true?A. Forced smiles cause harm to our bodies.B. Our bodies will mistake a false smile to be a real one.C. Pretending to smile will serve the opposite purpose.D. Smiles usually come later than happiness.(C)How long have we had a soft spot for dogs? A reanalysis of a prehistoric dog that was buried with two people reveals that the animal had experienced several bouts of potentially fatal illnesses, but it survived.The Bonn-Oberkassel dog was unearthed a century ago in Germany. It was buried alongside the remains of a man in his 40s and a woman in her 20s, and all are about 14,200 years old. The animal probably lived long after dogs were domesticated, as evidence for this process stretches back at least 32,000 years. But the Bonn-Oberkassel dog is still important because it is the oldest known dog burial, says Luc Janssens at Ghent University in Belgium, which means it can help us understand why dogs were domesticated.A common assumption is that prehistoric humans domesticated dogs to put them to work, helping with hunting, guarding settlements or used as pack animals for transport. However, Janssens and his colleagues say there is an alternative: we domesticated dogs simply because we liked having them as pets.Their reanalysis of the dog reveals it had terrible oral health. Although only about 7 months old when it died, the dog had experienced three bouts of severe illness when it was between 19 and 23 weeks old. “The first infection would be enough to be fatal to most dogs in the wild,” says Janssens. “Then came two extra bouts, and the probability that the animal would survive without human help is very, very low.”The researchers argue that the sick puppy would have been unable to do any useful work. In fact, keeping it alive was probably an unpleasant burden on its owners: it might have vomited 吐）regularly and had diarrhoea（腹泻）.Its survival hints that its owners felt a bond of friendship，just like a modem dog owner. “This is the first time we find evidence to suggest that dogs were treated emotionally without expectation of any benefit,” says Janssens.Bonds of friendship may have helped drive domestication, says Mietje Germonpre at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels. “Baby wolves could have been …adopted‟ to provide company,” she says.“This raising of baby wolves as pets could have been a stepping stone，together with other motivations, on the pathway to the domestication of the dog.”It is significant that the dog was buried, says Pat Shipman at Pennsylvania State University. 、…When yo u start burying animals，it indicates a special relationship of some kind.” Nevertheless，Shipman says we can‟t rule out the possibility that the Bonn-Oberkassel dog was - or could have become - a useful working dog, which might explain why its owners cared for it through its illness, in the hope that it would recover.63. Which of the following statements is true of The Bonn-Oberkassel dog?A. It lived longer than the dogs of its time.B. It was taken good care of by its owners.C. It had a terrible problem with its eyes.D. It was once used for transportation.64. According to Luc Janssens, why is the Bonn-Oberkassel dog important?A. It was unearthed almost 100 years ago.B. It was among those earliest domesticated dogs.C. It can lead to new perspectives on dogs‟ domestication.D. It can help people understand why dogs were buried with humans.65. Which of the following statements is Pat Shipment most likely to agree with?A. We can't say for sure that the Bonn-Oberkassel dog wasn't a working dog.B. Domestication has turned out to be a stepping stone to bonds of friendship.C. It is no more than 10,000 years since humans started to bury animals.D. Dog owners have long been known to be more caring than others.66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How dogs were domesticatedB. Ancient humans loved their dogsC.

Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.When Is the Mona Lisa Not the Mona Lisa?How many Mona Lisa paintings do you think there are in the world today? Just the one? I don't think so. The truth is that there are probably many, many Mona Lisa's hanging on walls or in studios. Of course only one was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci but the art of copying is very common in the art world.In fact it is true to say that artists have been copying from other artists for hundreds if not thousands of years. Traditionally, it was normal for artists to copy other artists' paintings. This was a way of making sure historical, religious and artistic traditions were available for future generations. It was considered normal for an artist in training to practise by copying the work of other great artists.Historically, the purpose of art was for historical or religious reference. Most of the time no one cared who painted the paintings. This is why we find it difficult to identify the artists behind some of the greatest older paintings. Paintings were usually commissioned by the church or state, not b\ individuals so the name of the artist was really unimportant.However, from around the 16th century the church and state became poorer and money found its way into the hands of rich individuals. These individuals, as a means of showing their place in society or a knowledge of art, drastically increased the demand for art. Suddenly more and more artists were needed and people competed to buy the paintings of certain individual artists. These created people whose job it was to buy and sell paintings. It also created galleries and auction houses. Suddenly art was a business and at its centre was money.V.

ADessi Sieburth's love of birds started about six years ago. Now, he has his own group called Protecting Our Birds.Recently,Dessi,14 years old, chatted with TFK about his work and goals for the future.TFK:What is Protecting Our Birds?DESSI：Birds are citizens of the world, so they need protection. I basically try to do conservation work to help birds get protected throughout the world. I recently wrote an article about a bird called the bartailed godwit(斑尾).I interviewed a biologist named Nils Warnock, who had studied the bartailed godwit. He expressed the concern about the threat that the bartailed godwit is facing. I wrote an article about his answers to the questions, which is published on the American Birding Association Website.TFK:What impelled you to start this project?DESSI:When I was eight years old, our class had to do a woodworking project, so I chose a bird feeder(喂食盒). I didn't like birds at the time. I made the feeder, filled it up with seed, put it in my backyard and then the birds started coming. I got really interested in birds as more came. I later got involved in my local Audubon Society, which is devoted to conserving and restoring natural ecosystems. It really got me into birds and I realized bird populations were declining, and many are becoming endangered quite rapidly. I wanted to help them, so I started the project.TFK:What are some future projects you plan to work on?DESSI：I live in L.A., where there are a lot of parrots. Most of the parrots' native range is in Mexico, but they’re really declining there because of habitat loss. I want to study the parrots and help them in their native range in Mexico, so they can start increasing again.TFK:How can people learn more about Protecting Our Birds and the work you're doing?DESSI：I have a website. It's my free website about protecting our birds. There people can learn about what I do and how to help birds.21. What's Nils Warnock's attitude to the bartailed godwit?A. Worried.B. Changing.C. Uncertain.D. Optimistic.22. When did Dessi start his project “Protecting Our Birds”?A. After he prepared a feeder for birds.B. After he interviewed Nils Warnock.C. After he studied parrots in Mexico.D. After he joined a local association.23. What will Dessi probably do next?A. Write articles about birds in danger.B. Help parrots losing the natural home.C. Set up a website to teach how to help birds.D. Recreate his own conservation organization.BThe National Civil Rights MuseumThe National Civil Rights Museum is a word-renowned cultural attraction that draws thousands of visitors each year. This institution examines the civil rights struggles faced by both our city and our nation throughout the history.The Lorraine Motel:Today the National civil rights Museum is partially housed in the Lorraine Motel’s history, however is a short and sad one. It opened in 1925 and was originally a “white” establishment. By the end of World War II, however, the motel had become minority-owned. It was for this reason that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stayed at the Lorraine when he visited Memphis in 1968.Dr.King was assassinated on the balcony of his hotel room on April 4th of that year. Following his death, the motel struggled to remain in business. By 1982,the Lorraine Motel went into foreclosure(抵押品赎回权).Saving the Lorraine:With the future of the Lorraine Motel uncertain, a group of local citizens formed the Martin Luther King Memorial Foundation for the only purpose of saving the motel. The group raised money, solicited donations, took out a loan, and partnered Lucky Heart Cosmetics to purchase the motel for $144, 000 whenit was up for auction. With the help of the city of Memphis, Shelby County, and the state of Tennessee, enough money was then raised to plan, design, and build what would eventually become the National Civil Rights Museum.The Birth of the National Civil Rights Museum:In 1987, construction began in a civil rights center housed within the Lorraine Motel. The center was intended to help its visitors better understand the events of the American Civil Rights Movement. In 1991,the museum opened its doors to the public. Ten years later, the ground was broken again for a multi-million-dollar expansion that would add 12,800 square feet space. The expansion would also connect the museum to the Young and Morrow Building and the Main Street Rooming House where James Earl Ray purportedly fired the shot that killed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Exhibits: The exhibits at the National Civil Rights Museum illustrate chapters of the fight for civil rights in our country in order to promote better understanding of the struggles involved. Included in the exhibits are photographs, newspaper accounts, and three-dimensional scenes depicting civil rights events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the March on Washington, and the Lunch Counter Sit-Ins.24. The underlined word “assassinated” (in Paragraph 2) probably means .A. arrested.B. murdered.C. assisted.D. accompanied.25. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. Lucky Hearts Cosmetics tried to build the museumB. the government was against the plan of the motelC. the motel was sold in order to raise more moneyD. the local people found a memorial foundation to save the motel26. What probably happened to the National Civil Rights Museum in 2001?A. An extension was added to the museum.B. Many visitors traveled to the Lorraine Motel.C. The civil rights center was built.D. James Earl Ray killed Dr.Martin Luther King,27. Which of the following can help visitors to know more about the National Civil Rights Museum?A. The treasures.B. The souvenirs.C. The items on display.D. The magazines.CIt is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping it. The word "huh?”is in worldwide use, a study found.Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include "huh?", or something that sounds very like it. They said that while the study may sound silly. The word is an absolutely necessary part of speech. Without it and similar words, it would be impossible to show that we haven't heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.But while other words used in the same context, such as “sorry” or “what”, vary widely across languages, “huh?” remains unchanged.The Dutch researchers carefully studied ten languages from around the world, including Siwu, which is spoken in Ghana, and an Australian Aboriginal language, as well as Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin Chinese.They analyzed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like “huh?” and were used to request thatwhatever had just been said be repeated. All contained a version of “huh?”. The word was also found in another 21 languages. While there were subtle differences in each country, all sounded basically the same.This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing. For instance, the Japanese for dog is “inu”, while the French is “chien”.It is thought thatlanguages around the world have developed their own version of “huh?” because the sound is quick and simple to form, as well as being easily understood.The researchers, said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like “huh?” but in fact this little word is an essential tool in human communication. They also have an answer for those who c laim that “huh?” isn't a word. They say that it qualifies because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages. It also can be considered a word because it's something we learn to say, rather than a grunt or cry that we are born knowing how to make.28. According to researchers, the word “huh?” is very important in speech because of .A. its stable meaning in language development.B. its important function in communicationC. its simple and easy sound and spellingD. its popularity in every language29. What is the natural response if you hear the lady you're speaking to say "huh?"?A. You should ask her to repeat what she says before that.B. You should apologize to her for speaking in a low voice.C. You should invite her to share her different views politely.D. You should try to repeat what you've just said in a clearer way.30.The main method used in the research of "huh?”was .A. interviewing language experts in universities.B. talking with people from ten different countries.C. analyzing the recorded conversations in different languages.D. comparing different words with the same meaning in different languages.31. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To inform readers about research on the worldwide used word "huh?"B. To a rgue that “huh?” is the most important word in every languageC. To entertain readers by relating similar idioms in different languagesD. To instruct readers of the differences of "huh?”in different languagesDSince Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangma’s peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap.So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that isn’t just uncomfortable —it’s cold and windy up there — but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can die.As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren’t the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of them ends up being left on the mountain,sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world’s largest dump. Here’s mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomol angma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. So far they’ve collected over 13 tons of garbage.Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They’ve transformed the cans and oxygen tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal’s capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakeers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.32. What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to Mount Qomolangma's peak?A. They are relatively safe.B. They are often crowded.C. They are very easy to pass.D. They are sites of base camps.33. What does the underlined word “gear” mean?A. Equipment for climbing mountains.B. The food climbers brought onto the mountain.C. Some important machines used for the bottle necks.D. Some rubbish found on the mountain.34. The group of 15Nepali artists .A. created works of art using rubbish from Qomolangma.B. were employed by the Everest Peakeers Association.C. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5tons of trash.D. painted 74beautiful pictures of Mount Qomolangma's peak.35. What can be the best title for the text?A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves SuccessfulB. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge MessC. Test Yourself Against QomolangmaD. Recycle Rubbish On Qomolangma第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Dear Smith,I’m Li Hua, one of your students. In order to adjust to the mixed accents of British and American English in listening practice, I’m wondering if you could accept the following suggestions I would like to offer on our oral English lessons.First of all, we would greatly appreciate it if you could provide some pronunciation rules which can help us sharpen our listening skills. Additionally, it would help to introduce us to some useful materials, such as English songs or film clips where we can be exposed to various accents. I am firmly convinced that we will make great progress with your aid.Thank you for your attention to this letter! Looking forward to your support and guidance!Li Hua第二节(满分25分)参考高考评分标准。
