Get chewing: can a wellness rebrand make Americans buy gum again?When was the last time you saw someone chewing gum? 1998, maybe? 2007? Chances are, it probably wasn’t recently. Like high heels and affordable housing, chewing gum appears to be going 42Gum’s popularity has been fading globally thanks to increased competition from products like breath mints and mobile phones distracting us from impulse purchases while shopping. The pandemic, moreover, 43 ·accelerated gum’s decline.Even after people 44 from lockdown, sales didn’t recover. Gum sales worldwide in 2023 were 10% below 2018 figures. In the US, the drop has been particularly pronounced: last year 1.2 billion units of gum were sold in the US, 32% fewer than in 2018.However, chewing gum, in various forms, is one of the oldest habits there is. Stone age teenagers were chewing birch bar k tar possibly for pleasure, medicinal purposes, or to use it as a glue. Gum has also been loaded with culturalmeaning and the subject of various 45 panics. Some people believe it is a marker of the bad kids or a habit of the lower class.Despite a certain amount of social stigma(污名)attached to gum, it has - until relatively recently -been a wildly successful product. That’s thanks to William Wrigley Jr, who was a marketing and advertising genius. Wrigley always 46 to find a way to make gum relevant and insert it into consumer culture. For example, Wrigley advertised the idea that chewing gum was a health aid that would help digestion and would relieve stress.This year the Wrigley brand’s owner —Mars—came out with an ad campaign it hopes will revive gum’s 47 by positioning it as an almost instant stress reliever. Linking gum with wellness worked in the 1910s, but is it going to work now? Alex Hayes at the food consultancy is 48 optimistic. “The global well ness market is estimated to be worth more than $1.5 trillion, so it’s no surprise that Mars wants a piece of the pie,” Hayes says. “We’ve seen the success of categories such as tea promoting their products via functional 49 and messaging-teas for good sleep, mental clarity, stress relief, etc. So it comes as no surprise that Mars is risking the same 50 .” But he also notes, customers are increasingly worried about processed foods and are eager to move away from artificial 51 . There’s still ongoing discussion on just how effective repositioning chewable plastic as a health supplement is going to be. Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection A ClozeDirections: 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.It’s safe to say Jeremy Scott is having a lucky year. In March while working as a chauffeur, he told his boss about his plans to set up a driving business. By the end of the journey, Scott’s boss had offered to 52 his idea-a starting capital along with the gift of a £110,000 limousine(豪车)to kick start the business.Of course, there’s an element of luck to everyone’s career. Whether you’re a chief executive or an artist — your 53 won’t be based on hard work alone. For example, the place you were born 54 your education. It determines whether you learn to read, write or complete qualifications, which 55 limits your career choices.Many people believe success is down to talent and hard work, but “this is because most people underestimate the role of 56 ”, says psychologist Dr Elizabeth Nutt Williams. “We do a lot of work to prepare for ourcareers-education, training, taking advantage of mentoring-all of which tend to be in our control.” People don’t like to acknowledge the role of luck in their work, as it 57 this feeling of being in control, adds Williams.Everyone remembers working hard, so people are more likely to overestimate how much of their success is down to diligence than something much more 58 like luck.The reality of success (at least in terms of 59 )is less clear cut. In the UK, studies show where you are born is likely to determine how much you earn.2017 research found that there is a “class pay gap’’, where professional employers from 60 backgrounds are paid almost £7,000 less a year — despite having the same role, education and experience as colleagues from more privileged families. 61 , black graduates earn up to 23% less per hour than white university leavers, whereas woman in the UK earn 14% less on average than men.Socio-economic status also plays a big role in the 62 you enter. A recent study by the Debrett’s Foundation found seven in every 10 young people aged 16-25 use 63 to get their first job. While research has shown that less able, richer children are 35% more likely to become high earners than their brighter. poorer peers.The truth is: chance and coincidences 64 our careers more than we like to think. Realizing that parts of your career are out of your control sounds 65 , but being grateful for the role of luck in your career can actually make you more fortunate.This is because when you acknowledge the role of luck in your work, you become prepared to take advantage of more fortunate moments. “Chance events occur·but it is all about the individual’s 66 to see those events as possibilities and their willingness to take a risk,” says Williams.52.A.challenge B.adopt C.finance D.reject53.A.performances B.accomplishments C.assessments D.outcomes54.A.accounts for B.applies to C.makes up for D.depends on55.A.in reward B.after all C.in turn D.by nature56.A.chance B.accident C.education D.diligence57.A.emphasizes B.overlooks C.maintains D.weakens58.A.manageable B.vital C.slippery D.minor59.A.reputation B.income C.education D.occupation60.A.wealthier B.poorer C.unique D.diverse61.A.Nevertheless B.Contrarily C.Consequently D.Similarly62.A.profession B.circle C.community D.university63.A.certificates B.online platforms C.career fairs D.family connections64.A.contribute to B.result from C.add to D.hold back65.A.inspiring B.encouraging C.appealing D.discouraging66.A.reluctance B.eagerness C.readiness D.resolutionSection B Passages(A)When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the burnt garlic’s smell, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves(蒜瓣)in an electric oven, and after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and pac ks them in dripbags.“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”“The bitterness of burned garl ic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic isthoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee. If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, lwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen($2.8). 67.Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “blunder” in the second paragraph?A mistake B.show C.mixture D.brand68.Who is NOT suitable to drink garlic coffee?A.A student having trouble with sleep B.A woman bearing a baby.C.A cleaner working on a day shift. D.A young lady sick of garlic.69.Which of the following is NOT characteristic of garlic coffee?A.It is caffeine-free. B.Garlic powder dissolves in waterC.The burnt garlic create s bitterness. D.It is an improvement on a garlic dish.70.Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai?A.Venturous and greedy B.Innovative and perseverantC.Hardworking and cautious D.Observant and helpful(B)71.By “how they stacked up” in paragraph 1, the author probably means “how they ______.”A.make sense to manufacturers B.get stuck in storesC are compared with each other D.are piled up together72.Which of the following devices favourably reacts to users?A.Dreampad pillow B.Eight sleep trackerC.Smart Nora Wireless Snoring Solution D.Nightingale Smart Home Sleep System73.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.The Eight keeps the entire bed at the same temperature.B.The Nightinga, is an economical but perfect device.C.Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D.One in three people suffer from sleep problem.(C)One way to divide up the world is between people who like to explore new possibilities and those who stick to the tried and true. In fact, the tension between betting on a sure thing and taking a chance that something unexpected and wonderful might happen troubles human and nonhuman animals alike.Take songbirds, for example. The half-dozen finches(雀)resting at my desk feeder all summer know exactly what they’ll find there: black sunflower seed, and lots of it. Meanwhile, the warblers(莺)exploring the woods nearby don’t depend on this predictable food source in fine weather. As food hunters, they enjoy less exposure to predators and, as a bonus, the chance to meet the perfect mate flying from tree to tree.This “explore-exploit” trade-off(权衡)has prompted scores of lab studies, computer simulations and algorithms (算法), trying to determine which strategy brings in the greatest reward. Now a new study of human behavior in the real world, published last month in the journal Nature Communications, shows that in good times, there isn’t much of a difference between pursuing novelty and sticking to the status quo(原状). When the going gets tough. however, explorers are the winners.The new study, led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico, both of the Univ ersity of California, Davis, along with Orr Spiegel of Tel Aviv University, examined the routes and results of nearly 2,500 commercial fishing trips in the Gulf of Mexico over a period of 2.5 years. The study focused on “bottom longline” fishing, a system where hundreds of lines are attached to a horizontal bar that is then lowered to reach the sea bed. Dr. O’Farrell explained the procedure this way: Go to a location and put the line down. Stay for a few hours. The lines are a mile long and have a buoy (浮标)at either end. When they pull that up, they assess the catch, and then decide if they will stay or move on to a different spot.Over two years of collecting data under various climate conditions, the researchers discovered that the fishermen were fairly c onsistent. “The exploiters would go to a smaller set of locations over and over, and go with what theyknow,” Dr. O’Farrell said. The explorers would constantly try a wider range; they’d sample new places.In the long run, there wasn’t a huge difference in payoffs between the two groups, perhaps due to the sharing information between fishing crews, said Dr. O’Farrell. But in challenging times, the study’s message was clear: “You can try new things in the face of uncertainty.”74.The author takes the songbird as an example to indicate that ______.A.like birds, humans tend to be satisfied with the predictableB.some birds are used to looking for food instead of being fedC.there exist the conservative and the adventurous like humansD.birds choose different ways to look for food in different weather75.According to the third paragraph, people who mastered “explore-exploit” trade-off ______.A.will choose either to pursue novelty or keep the status quoB.are ready to risk in time of difficultyC.will be tough in good times and bad timesD.will grow to be experts in lab studies76.Which can be inferred from the new study led by Shay O’Farrell and James Sanchirico?A.The two groups react to the unexpected differently.B.The “explore-exploit” trade-off helps scientific research a lot.C.The exploiters are used to fishing based solely on their experience.D.The explorers tend to achieve more than the exploiters in the long run.77.Which of the following can be the best title for passage?A.How the Exploiter differs from the Explorer B.How to Become a Productive FishermanC.What is “Explore-Exploit” Trade-off D.When to take risks mattersSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Maya loved cacao so much that they used the beans as currency. They also believed it is good for you—which many people still say today about cacao’s most famous byproduct, chocolate. 78 . While some have suggested that less than an ounce of dark chocolate might improve heart health, much of the research doesn’t involve eating actual chocolate but rather its components — flavanol, especially.79 . In a clinical trial of 21,000 adults, they found that the half of the group that took500mg of. cocoaflavanol supplements daily had a significantly lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease than those who had taken a placebo(安慰剂).Flavanols may also boost insulin sensitivity, according to some studies, which might be helpful in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes(糖尿病). 80 . Those at risk of diabetes might be wise to choose a cacao-inspired supplement instead of eating chocolate—and the sugar it contains. Other research suggests that the flavanols found in cacao (also present in fruits, vegetables, and tea)could slow cognitive decline during aging, or even boost brain performance by improving blood flow to the cerebral cortex.What these findings mean for chocolate is limited, however. Participants would have had to eat multiple fat and sugar filled chocolate bars a day to source 500mg of flavanols. 81 . So understanding why certain types of chocolate are healthier than the rest is the focus of further research.Ⅳ.Fill in the BlanksHow sneaker culture took over the worldSneakers have come a long way from when they were first invented in 1860s England for the upper-class playing croquet(槌球)and tennis.Long worn for function 82 82 fashion, today sneakers have become an entire culture—both a form of self-expression and a high art found in museum exhibits and designer auction houses.83 transformed sneaker culture into a true phenomenon was the 1985 release of Nike’s Air Jordan 1s. In 1984, Michael Jordan was a talented rookie who had yet to play in a professional game. 84 that, Nike saw Jordan as the future of their brand, signing him to a five-year, $2.5 million endorsement(代言)deal. 85 Jordan matured into one of the greatest basketball players of all time, the sneaker’s popularity skyrocketed.Meanwhile, another cultural shift 86 (take)place with casual Fridays introduced in white-collar businesses. It was when men were allowed to put aside their suits and wear something one day a week that showed people who they really were.As sneakers became increasingly desired, footwear companies turned to 87 (generate)even more publicity by collaborating with celebrities and luxury brands, as well as releasing small batches of limited-edition shoes with eye-pop ping designs.Celebrities also started their collaborations with sneaker brands, which helped target a whole new demographic of people to experience sneaker culture. It was a blending of high and low fashion, 88 the shoe industry has never really seen before. A pair that Jordan wore in his legendary final NBA season 89 (sell )even for $2.2 mllion, making them the most expensive sneakers ever to appear at auction.By the mid-2010s, speakers 90 (become)solid gold status symbols. Wearing rare and cool sneakers became an expression of one’s social status. But not until recently, sneakers are finally getting their due as part of our cultural heritage—and particularly how Black culture has shaped that heritage. It took decades for the sneaker industry to recognize that 91 these Black athletes or artists that championed their products there would be no sneaker culture.Ⅴ.Translations92.结果看来这项传统的确值得传承给我们的后代。

To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to narcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. But men who post selfies showed more of高一英语第 1 页(共7页)a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos --- even if they click “like”.4. What is the research mainly about?A. The ways of making people look better in selfies.B. The reasons for people posting selfies on social media.C. The differences between men and women in posting selfies.D. The connections between posting selfies and mental health.5. What does the word “vanity” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. A deep desire to know about something.B. A special need to be more popular.C. Too much pride in one’s own appearance.D. Strong determination to improve oneself.6. What is Chock’s attitude towards selfie posting?A. Ambiguous.B. Cautious.C. Disapproving.D. Supportive.7. From the last paragraph, we know that the older generations showed their photos to friends and family ______.A. to win praise from viewersB. to show off their camerasC. to improve relationshipsD. to share good momentsCChina's tourists are set to stick close to home and take advantage of discounts as they take time off for the first major holiday since the easing of coronavirus lockdowns, offering a glimpse of what travel may look like after the epidemic(疫情).A five-day Labour Day holiday from May 1 is being seen as a test for the tourism industry, one of the sectors hardest hit by the coronavirus.Travel operator estimates about 90 million people will go on holiday for the May Day break, less than half the number who went last year.But hotels and major travel operators said they were optimistic about presale figures, with Marriott International saying many companies were promoting "staycations"."It's encouraging to see signs of recovery after a long, cold winter," said Jolyon Bulley, chief executive of InterContinental Hotels Group Greater China, who told Reuters May Day bookings were showing some positive signs.Many people were planning to visit places in home provinces or nearby cities, said, citing ticket sales.Half of its presold rooms were for five-star hotels, indicating travellers were seeking better quality accommodation due to epidemic concerns, it said.They are also taking advantage of cheap domestic flights and hotel deals being offered by airlines and hotel chains eager to get people travelling again.Prices for popular routes such as Beijing to Sanya have been slashed by up to 90%, with booking on average 30% down, according to Alibaba Group's travel booking platform Fliggy.In the financial hub of Shanghai, Marriott is offering guests a 2,202 yuan package that includes a one-night stay at its upscale W Hotel, a cocktail and tapas dinner and spa treatments.Jiang Qin, a 38-year-old Beijing office worker, said she was going away but not too far. She aimed to take her 2-year-old daughter to the nearby city of Tianjin, having scrapped a plan to go to Hainan because of Beijing's quarantine requirements."Tianjin is not the best alternative, but I just want to travel. Anywhere is better than nowhere," she said.However, industry executives warn that it's too soon to say how robust the recovery in holiday travel will be given concern about a second wave of the coronavirus.International travel remains out of the question for most, due to border restrictions imposed by other countries, a lack of flights and two weeks of quarantine that await people coming back to China.Major tourism sites and some restaurants have and been told to limit occupancy to as low as 30% of normal levels, capping any recovery.The China Tourist Attractions Association estimates that destinations will see an 80% drop in revenue in the first quarter."The uncertainties are not completely gone, and no one would be able to tell exactly what will高一英语第 2 页(共7页)happen," said Bulley."Recovery will continue to come in phases in China, and what we can do is to be fully prepared under the new norm."8. How many people went on holiday during May Day break last year according to Travel operator Trip .com?A.90 millionB. Less than 90 millionC. 180 millionD. More than 180 million9. Where are many people planning to go during May Day break?A. Home provinces or nearby cities.B. Hometown.C. Hainan.D. Beijing.10 . What does the underlined word slash mean?A. Reduce by a large amount.B. Increase by a large amount.C. Crash.D. Hit.11. From the passage we know that during the May Day break___A. Many people will go abroad because of the cheap flight.B. Many people will go to southern provinces.C. Many people will go to their hometown.D. People prefer to live hotels of good conditions because of the epidemic.DOf all the planets, none has captured the world's imagination like Mars. Its reddish colour and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars. Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H. G. Well's The War of the Worlds. Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars. Wells described Martians as threatening. Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works. Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.Today, Mars continues to excite humans—not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study. Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited, landed on and dug into the Martian surface.The Smithsonian's "Mars Day" offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it. Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma. They heard about Mars and its geology from experts. They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976. They also saw meteorites(陨星)known to have come from the red, or reddish planet. Eight-year-old Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right. He said, “It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown, too.” Emma is six. She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars. She said, “The closest thing to Mars—the stuff—is from volcanoes mostly.”“Mars Day” offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.12.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.Why Martians were considered threatening.B.Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.C.What people generally thought of Mars in the past.D.How H. G. Wells got the idea for his science fiction.13.It is implied in Paragraph 3 that_________.A.today's space scientists still know nothing about MarsB.today's space scientists are very interested in MarsC.science fiction films are no longer set in MarsD.space scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars14.Sam would probably agree that _________.A.Mars is not really redB.no meteorites have come from MarsC.Mars cannot be described as a little brownD.the ancient description of Mars' colour is true高一英语第 3 页(共7页)15.What is the writer's attitude towards the idea that humans will set foot on Mars?A.He thinks it may happen in this year.B.He thinks it will always remain a dream.C.He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.D.He thinks it may happen in the following decades.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。

AHere are some music festivals that you might be interested in.BoogieTallarook, VIC(26-28 March)Boogie is definitely kid-friendly, but with a few rules. Kids are welcome, but need to be fully supervised〔监管〕 at all times and out of the licensed area by 10 pm. Kids under 8 years old are admitted for free. Kids between 8 and16 get in cheaper. There are some activities for kids and a great kid-friendly area.Splendour in the GrassByron Bay, NSW(24-26 July)Look, Splendour can be pretty crazy, so if you and your kids are out of practice with handling festivals and the stress they can sometimes bring, maybe you should try starting smaller. But if you feel like you can do it, then your kids are welcometo hit Splendour with you. The usual rules apply — you'll need to have them with you at all times if they are under 16 and they can't go into bars. If the child is under 11, then they will get in for free.The Gum BallHunter Valley, NSW(22-24 April)We didn't originally include the Gum Ball because they took last year off and we wanted to make sure they were definitely returning. Not because we have anything against them. On the contrary, they are one event that manages to balance brilliant music and a family-friendly vibe(气氛).Bellingen TurtlefestBellingen(30 September-2 October)Great music for a great cause! Bellingen Turtlefest has been set up to raise funds and awareness for the critically endangered Bellinger River Snapping Turtle, while giving families a chance to enjoy some great music at the same time. There's a kidzone, sideshows, workshops and markets, but also an education center and some guest speakers so that the kids (and you) can learn a thing or two while you're at the event.1. If a 10-year-old goes to Boogie, he/she_____.A. cannot find a great kid-friendly area thereB. must leave the licensed area by 11 pmC. must stay with an adult all the timeD. doesn't have to pay for admission2. Which of the following festivals failed to be included in the beginning?A. The Gum BallB. Splendour in the GrassC. BoogieD. Bellingen Turtlefest3. What do the festivals have in common?A. They're all held in the summertime.B. They're all free for kids under 11.C. They're all concerned with wildlife.D. They're are suitable for the whole family.【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D【解析】本文属于说明文,介绍了四个你或者许感兴趣的音乐节。

BI used to believe that only words could catch the essence of the human soul.The literary(文学的)works contained such distinct stories that they shaped the way we saw the world.Words were what composed the questions we sought to uncover and the answers to those questions themselves.Words were everything.That belief changed.In an ordinary math class,my teacher posed a simple question:What's 0.99 rounded to the nearest whole number?Easy.When rounded to the nearest whole number,0.99 =1.Somehow,I thought even though 0.99 is only 0.01 away from 1,there's still a 0.01 difference.That means even if two things are only a little different,they are still different,so doesn't that make them completely different?My teacher answered my question by presenting another equation(等式):1=0.9,which could also be expressed as 1=0.99999...repeating itself without ever ending.There was something mysterious but fascinating about the equation.The left side was unchangeable,objective:it contained a number that ended.On the right was something endless,number repeating itself limitless times.Yet,somehow,these two opposed things were connected by an equal sign.Lying in bed,I thought about how much the equation paralleled our existence.The left side of the equation represents that sometimes life itself is so unchangeable and so clear.The concrete,whole number of the day when you were born and the day when you would die.But then there is that gap in between life and death.The right side means a time and space full of limitless possibilities,and endless opportunities into the open future.So that's what life is.Objective but imaginative.Unchangeable but limitless.Life is an equation with two sides that balances itself out.Still,we can't ever truly seem to put the perfect words to it.So possibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as words can.For now,let's leave it at that:1=0.99999...and live a life like it.What does the author emphasize about words in paragraph 1?A.Their wide variety. C.Their expressive power.B.Their literary origins D.Their distinct sounds.25.What made the author find the equation fascinating?A.The repetition of a number.B.The difference between the two numbers.D.The way two different numbers are equal.C.The question the teacher raised.26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word paralleled"in paragraph 6?A.Measured.posed.C.Mirrored.D.Influenced.27.What does the author think of“1=0.9”?A.They uncover the meaning of life.C.They are useful in learning maths.B.They are reliable in expressing ideas.D.They give limited possibilities.CDuring space missions,astronauts can experience a loss of some of the inner structural support in their bones.For trips in space lasting at least six months,that loss is equal to about 20 years of aging.Luckily,a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone.Exercise scientist Leigh Gabel was part of a team that tracked 17 astronauts,each of whom had spent four to seven months in space.The team measured the 3-D structure of bone.They focused on the structure of the tibia(胫骨)and the lower-arm bone.The researchers took images of the bones3times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronauts returned home from space.From these pictures,Gabel's team calculated an astronaut's bone strength and density(密度)at each of those times.What did hey find through comparison of the pictures?Astronauts in space for less than six months regained their preflight(起飞前的)bone strength after a year back on Earth.But those who stayed in space longer suffered permanent bone loss in their tibias.That loss was equal to a decade of aging.The lower arm bones showed almost no loss.Tat was likely because these aren’t weigh-bearing bones on Earth,Gabel explains.In fact,those arms can get bigger workout in space than on Earth as astronauts use them to move around their craft by pushing off handles and doors.“Increasing weight-lifing exercises in space could help alleviate (解)bone loss in the legs,”says Steven Boyd,also in exercise scientist.“With longer spaceflight,we can expect bigger bone loss-and probably a bigger problem with recovery,”says physiologist Laurence Vico.“Space agencies should also consider other bone health measures,such as nutrition,to reduce bone loss and increase bone formation.”28.Why did Gabel's team take pictures at different times?A.To offer evidence for their predictions.B.o show their respect for the astronauts.C.To compare the changes in the astronauts' bones.D.To find out the proper length of staying in space for astronauts.29.Which of the following may Gabel agree with?A.A spaceflight in less than half a year does no harm to astronauts.B.Astronauts coming back from a spaceflight look much older.C.Astronauts can aybid bone loss through doing enough exercise.D.There is almost no difference in the astronauts' lower-arm bones.30.What can we conclude from this text?A.People on Earth never suffer bone loss.B.The finding of the new study is good news for astronauts.C.The 17 astronauts knew the bone loss before their spaceflights.D.Astronauts can regain their bone strength as soon as they return to Earth.31.What does the text mainly talk about?A.ow to prevent bone loss in space.B.Problems faced by astronauts in space.C.Astronauts' suffering from bone loss in space.D.Astronauts' contributions to the development of science.DThe innovation is part of research into brain-computer interfaces(接口)to help improve the lives of people with disabilities.The researchers included machine learning capabilities with their brain-computer interface,making it a one-size-fits-all solutionTypically,these devices require extensive adjustment for each user-every brain is different,both for healthy and disabled users and that has been a major obstacle to mainstream adoption.This new solution can quickly understand the needs of an individual subject and self-adjust through repetition.That means multiple patients could use the device without needing to adjust it for better functioning.In a clinical setting,the subjects wear a cap packed with electrodes(电极)that is connected to a computer.The electrodes gather data by measuring electrical signals from the brain,and the decoder translates the brain signals into commands,which are used to control devices or applications.In this case,the decoded signals are translated into actions in a car racing game and a simpler task involving balancing a digital bar.Subjects were trained simultaneously for both the simpler bar game and the more complex car racing game,thus improving their brain function.This project used 18 subjects with no motor disabilities.As they continue down this road,they will test this on people with motor disabilities to apply it to larger groups in clinical settings.“To achieve this,we need to improve our technology to make it easier to use,'Millan.a professor in the University of Texas says.On the side of translating the research,Millan and his team continue to work on a wheel chair that users can drive with the brain-computer interface.At the South by Southwest Conference and Festivals this month,the researchers showed off another potential use of the technology:controlling two rehabilitation(康复)robots for the hand and arm.This was not part of the new paper but a sign of where this technology could go in the future.“We'll continue down this path wherever it takes us in the pursuit of helping people.”Millan says.32.Who will benefit the most from the Brain-Computer Interface innovation?A.People with physical disabilitiesB.Businessmen selling wheelchairsC.Students seeking academic improvement.D.Athletes seeking performance enhancement.33.What is the main advantage of the new solution?A.Faster adjustment process C.I proved mainstream adoption.B.Decreased need for adjustingD.Quick understanding of commands34.What is the function of electrodes?A.Translating signals C.Controlling devicesB.Measuring brain signals D.Enhancing brain function.35-What is the probable focus of Millan and his team's future work?A.Exploring hand and arm rehabilitation.B.Showcasing technology at conferences.C.Translating and publishing research papers.D.Enhancing brain-computer interface technology.第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)When I graduated from high school,I wanted to major in comparative literature.But,once I found out my fiends were going into“real”majors,like marketing,nursing,and engineering,II forced myself to believe that figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. 36 I would enjoy(it and succeed in the future,but eventually I exhausted myself understanding theeconomy and trying new marketing ing out of this experience,I realize it is OK tobe different from others and to study things like classics,art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities(人文学科)!The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes,which that the majors are too abstract. 37 are occasionally different from what people commonly believe,offer a broad perspective(视角).How could one effectively be an unbiased(无偏见的)writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society?How could one speak persuasively with closed minds?Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning,missed friendships,and missed growth! 38STEM(science,technology,engineering,and mathematics)graduates learn actual skills in their studies,while humanities majors learn "soft skills"like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively,synthesizing(综合)ideas through gathering and interpreting information,and developing cultural awareness.Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable Produce ideas?Encounter people from other cultures?Every day.to you?Think of it.39 Every SECOND of every day.So why not master these skills?40 The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist's grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future.Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in.Stick to your dream major with all your energy,no matter what other people think.A.So one will not obtain any practical skills.B.How often do you communicate with others?C.How much progress can you make in a certain time?D.So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major.E.If you choose a major in the College of Humanities,you will be needed.F.The number of students majoring in the humanities has declined by about half.G.With a broader perspective,we will be more open-minded and less limited in what we can become!第三节完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)In 1980,Foley was a new nurse,working the night shift in a maternity ward(产房).One night,a baby girl was born with a 41 congenital(天生的)disorder that affected her brain.She was 42 to die soon.As Foley had seen in similar cases,babies in this 43 were often placed in a bassinet(摇篮)and received little 44 until they died.But Foley said Nancy Allspach,a colleague of hers,had a 45 approach.“She went into the nursery multiple times through the shift and 46 that baby,”Foley recalled.“She put her 47 right down next to the baby,and she talked to the baby.And she even 48 the baby a bottle and rocked her in the big rocking chair.And she 49 the baby as thoughshe were her own.”Foley 50 remembers how the baby was treated,and how the mother was treated,too.Over her nearly 50-year 51 as a registered nurse,Foley has 52 many babies and children who died later.And looking back,she said she always tied to treat both the children and their parents with compassion(同情)—the way she 53 from Nancy Allspach."I never forgot the importance of touching and being 54 to the baby or the child and

One disadvantage is that you often have to live closer to other people than you would like to. Sometimes, your neighbors make noise that you are not comfortable with.The best way to solve this problem is to talk with your neighbor first. You should be very polite and ask your neighbor if he knows how thin the walls of your homes are. This way doesn’t criticize (批评) his behavior; it simply points out that he may not realize how far his sound travels. Tell him that you know that sometimes you make noise as well, but that you do your best to keep it down. Often this will solve the problem right away, but sometimes the neighbor may become angry.If your neighbor becomes angry with you, there are some more steps you can take. You might write a letter to the neighborhood committee. Make sure you write down the source of the noise and the time in the letter. They will review the situation and decide whether your neighbor is out of line. Some noise is considered to be reasonable, even if it bothers you. So you may prepare a good pair of earplugs (耳塞).Even if your neighbor makes too much noise, you don’t have to live your life in discomfort. It’s always a good idea to be friendly with your neighbors. You may clean the rubbish in front of his door. He’s sure to appreciate behavior like this and be more open to your suggestions about noise level.56.

Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook.
