Cambridge Open Days
The Cambridge Open Days for potential applicants in Year 12 will be on 5 and 6 July (booking is essential).

Many Colleges will be open all day for Cambridge Open Day visitors. However, some will be holding their own College-specific event, for which a separate booking with that College is required.
College open days
During College open days you can pick up a range of information and get a sense of College life, but remember that visiting a particular College doesn’t commit you to appl ying to that College.

Subject Masterclasses
Subject Masterclasses provide an opportunity to explore topics of interest beyond what’s covered at A Level or IB Higher Level, and to experience typical undergraduate teaching at Cambridge. Each subject-specific Masterclass involves two or three taster lectures, an overview of the admissions process and chance to speak to current undergraduates.
CUSU Target Scheme
The Target Scheme is a student-run initiative by which current Cambridge undergraduates visit state schools or colleges across the country .
The visits are intended to give information to Year 12 students and provide an opportunity for them to hear about the University from a current student’s perspective. The Target Scheme can also offer sessions on post-A Level choices for younger students.

A. Experience college life.
B. Explore their interests.

From the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we’re all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause.
But while it may seem like such issues won’t affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.
According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao –the plant from which chocolate is produced – may mean that it will soon become extinct.
Most of the world’s cacao grows in countries close to the equator(赤道), with over
It’s predicted that by 2050, c limate change will have accelerated the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there.
The problem doesn’t lie in increased heat, however, but in lower humidity (湿度), as it’s believed that rai nfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.
“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it’s unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture(水分) loss,” Michon Scott, the essay’s author, wrote.
To help fight this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News.
In the me antime, US company Mars, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion (6.33 billion yuan) to help reduce the effects of climate change.
“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.
The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if we’re unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.
24.What could make it hard for cacao to grow around the equator in the future?
A.the higher temperatures there
B.the higher humidity there
C. the increase in rainfall there
D. the moisture loss in the soil there
25.What did Barry Parkin suggest?
A. No man is an island.
B. Every little bit counts.
C. United we stand; divided we fall.
D. Wish for the best; prepare for the worst.
26.What can we learn from the passage?
A. UC Berkeley is trying to find a substitute for cacao.
B. Cacao can only be found in most African countries.
C. Climate changes can be controlled if we are lucky.
D. Mars will financially support the fight against climate changes.
27.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The origin of chocolate.
B. The future of chocolate.
C. The history of chocolate.
D. The ingredients of chocolate.
C
Have you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear? Like you could fall, and no one would hear? Well, you're not alone.
In a time when it seems like everyone is consumed by social media, the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen really hits home on what it's like to be a millennial or any person struggling to find their way. With its moving story, catchy songs, and talented cast, the musical is sure to earn not only your praise, but steal your heart in the process.
Coping with severe anxiety, the title character finds it extremely difficult to fit in. His single mother is always working, his only acquaintance at school is a family friend, and the girl he likes doesn't even know he exists. Every day is a constant struggle, until the unexpected death of a classmate gives him a voice he never knew he had, even if it is all based on a lie.
On top of the moving story, the music is infectious. When the single "Waving Through a Window" was first released, I played the track for five days straight. Even after seeing the show, I still have the urge to bust out the lyrics to "Words Fail" during my morning commute on the subway. You think I'm exaggerating, but just wait until you hear the soundtrack for the first time. You won't just tap your foot to one of the melodies during the show; you'll come out humming three more of them when you leave, guaranteed.
With so many different themes like depression, anxiety, and loneliness throughout, we can all see a bit of ourselves in one of these characters: the socially awkward teen, the daughter whose parents won't stop fighting, or the classmate who feels like there's no other way than just giving up. In between numbers, I could audibly hear the audience choking back sobs. My mom and I bonded with a young man sitting next to us during the intermission as we talked about how we related to Evan, his mother, his classmates, and all that in between. At the heart of it all, this isn't just a show —it's a story that needs to be told. Because no one deserves to be forgotten. No one deserves to feel like they could disappear. Even when you're broken on the ground, you will be found.
28.The questions in the first paragraph are mentioned _________.
A. to inform us of some common social phenomena.
B. to tell us that many people feel lonely in life.
C. to introduce the theme of Dear Evan Hansen.
D. to illustrate that severe anxiety exists.
29.What does the underlined phrase “hit home” mean?
A. To be widely reported.
B. To return to the original place.
C. To make people realise something is true.
D. To suddenly become very successful.
30.According to the author, what makes Dear Evan Hansen a huge success?
A. Brilliant cast.
B. Infectious songs.
C. The complex story.
D. The way it relate to every individual
31.What is the best title of this passage?
A. Dear Evan Hansen--you are not alone
B. Dear Evan Hansen--a big hit
C. Broadway musical is still catchy
D. Broadway musical strikes a chord with me
D
It’s no revelation that the key to learning a new language is immersing yourself among native speakers of that language. But what if those native speakers are Dora the Explorer and Diego?
It turns out television and radio might be even better tools for new language learners than previously thought. According to two recent studies summarized by Scientific American, it is possible to further your understanding of a new language without actively practicing or fully paying attention.
For starters, research published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America suggests that language learners who focus continuously on learning new sounds keep no more information than those who take periodic breaks. While one group of study participants practiced differentiating three tricky Hindi sounds for one hour a day over the course of several days, another group alternated spending 10 minutes on learning and 10 minutes on an intentionally distracting task as the Hindi sounds played in the background. When tested on the sounds, the distracted group performed just as well as the focused group. Score one for the subconscious mind!
But a subsequent study published in the Journal of Memory and Language further validates the power of inactive learning. Researchers found that Spanish students learning the Basque dialect improved less when they were instructed to repeat sounds back during their training; listening to new sounds silently actually resulted in greater retention.
So, is it time to fire your tutor and invest in a box set of Corazón Salvaje? Not quite. While this growing body of research suggests inactive language learning is an awesome tool in your language-learning arsenal, the value of focused practice cannot be discounted. “You need to come to cl ass and pay attention,” says Melissa Baese-Berk, a linguist and co-author of one of the studies. “But when you go home, turn on the TV or turn on the radio in that language while you’re cooking dinner, and even if you’re not paying total attention to it, i t’s going to help you.”
So get out there and learn… but not too hard. While you’re at it, it wouldn’t hurt to brush up on your grammar skills, too.
32.What are the findings of the recent studies concerned?
A. Television and radio are useful tools for language learning.
B. Inactive learning plays a greater role in learning new languages.
C. Full attention contributes to greater achievement of language learning.
D. It is vital to interact with native speakers when learning new languages.
33.The underlined word “validate” in paragraph 4 refer to_________.
A.confirm
B.contradict
C.indicate
D.assume
34.What is Melissa Baese-Berk’s attitude towards inactive language learning?
A. doubtful
B. favourable
C. indifferent
D. disapproving
35.Which practice does the author probably approve?
A. Skipping pronunciation drills in the class.
B. Repeating after the tapes intentionally all the time.
C. Playing target languages in the background while dinning.
D. Practicing differentiating tricky sounds of target languages.
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。

Whether at school, college or work, most of us take some sort of lunch break. __36_But here lies the dilemma – what to eat? There are a feast of options but because of limited time or money, many of us stick to what we know – usually the humble sandwich.
Some of us make our own sandwiches in the morning before heading out, while those in a rush tend to grab-and-go at a snack bar or a cafe or buy a meal deal at a supermarket.
A packet of crisps may be an additional staple to our predictable lunch. _37__Sheila Dillon from the BBC Food Programme says more than a third of office workers have eaten the same midday meal for the last nine months.
_38__With average lunch hours now reduced to 25 minutes, 24 seconds, it's quick and convenient to eat. But it's also boring! Some people have broken the mould by bringing in leftovers from their previous night's dinner, which they then heat up in a microwave but even that isn't very exciting.
We are creatures of habit. But philosopher Julian Baggini says "we’re never going to break out of our midday malaise unless we think outside the box." _39__With just a microwave and a kettle, there a number of hot satisfying meals can be made such as soups and jacket potatoes. And then there are the common instant noodles in a pot –although you may question how nutritious they are.
If you've got time for more exotic food, then look out for trendy 'Ottolenghi' style food such as fava bean salad wrap. There is also the healthy Japanese style 'bento box' or lunchbox that normally contains a mix of carbohydrate, protein and vegetable. __40__
A. What we eat is usually the same every day.
B. There are alternatives that will fill you up.
C.And of course another healthy Japanese treat is sushi.
D.Too many wrong decisions can be a recipe for a nutritional disaster.
E.It's a good time to have a rest, catch up with friends and eat some food.
F.In the UK, bread has become the mainstay of our lunchtime snack, sometimes eaten at your
desk.
G.Then it's time for the next dilemma – what to have for dinner?! What do you usually
eat for lunch?

Fears that robots could take the jobs of humans may be premature after Britain’s first cyborg shop assistant was fired after a week of confusing customers.
In an experiment 61 （conduct）by Heriot-Watt University for the BBC’s Six Robots & US, Scottish supermarket chain Margiotta was asked to trial ‘ShopBot’, who they affectionately named ‘Fabio’.
Fabio was programmed with directions to hundreds of items in the company’s flagship Edinburgh store and initially charmed customers 62 his ‘hello gorgeous’ greeting, playful high fives, jokes and offers of hugs.
“We thought a robot was a great 63(add)to show the customers that we are always wanting to do something new and 64(excite),” said Elena Margiotta, who runs the chain o f shops with father Franco and sister Luisa.
But within just a few days, the robot was demoted（降职） after giving unhelpful advice such as “it’s in the alcohol section” when asked 65 to find beer. He also struggled to understand shoppers’ requests because of the background noise.
Banished(放逐) to an aisle where he was only allowed to offer samples of pulled pork, Fabio started to alarm customers who went out of 66(they) way to avoid him.
“67(fortunate) Fabio didn’t perform as well as we 68 (hope),” Luisa Ma rgiotta said. “People seemed to be actually avoiding him.

书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I’m sorry to learn that you have been suffering headaches, which prevents you from performing well in your work. Worse still, you haven’t got better after taking medicine.
Therefore I suggest you try Chinese medicine.
From my perspective, Chinese medicine is superior to western medicine in a sense. Producing fewer side effects is typical of Chinese medicine. If time permits, patients can recover completely. In addition, Chinese medicine is less expensive, so you don’t need to worry about your budget. I believe the treatment appeals greatly to you.
Hope you will recover soon. If there is anything you need me to do, don’t hesitate to inform me.
Yours,
Li Hua
