A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very __41__ vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and __42__ forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly—but it was a death __43__ two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal __44__ —the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man’s stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last __45__!Why was this man so well __46__? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man’s skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for __47__ coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other __48__ wanted to know more about the person that they called, “Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn’t done heavy __49__ work in this life — he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn’t died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods. III. Reading Comprehension：Section AWe have quite a bit of information about ancient Egyptian medicine.

This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It's raining and the tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can't understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he's going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree （狂购）at the mall!Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We're camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn't see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked "fishy". She had a pack rod （竿）, which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream.Friday: I can't believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleepin a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful．We're already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It's hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.65.The writer went on this camping trip because _____.A. she enjoyed campingB. she wanted to go fishingC. she was influenced by her brotherD. she was tired of staying home66.The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer _____.A. hiked along the lakeB. dried out her belongingsC. climbed the mountainD. caught the fish for dinner67.It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because _____.A. she could not afford to buy a regular fishing poleB. she needed it to get their main source of foodC. she thought the writer of the journal might need itD. she expected to go fishing while they were hiking68.It is likely that the writer will _____ ．A. go on another camping tripB. invite Carol to go fishing togetherC. make her brother buy her somethingD. convince tier brother to go camping(B)A Little Is A Lot For Those With NothingEach year, 22 million people die from preventable causes, such as polluted water or the lack of nutrition, according to a new report from the World Health Organization. These groups are taking some of the top lights:****A child dies every eight seconds from water-borne disease. Global Water builds wells in very poor communities in Romania, Central America and Africa. Go to global .****As much as 80 percent of the world's population may be lacking in iron.

To ask the readers to surf the Internet and become aware of the miserable things in theworld.70.You can help the children lacking in iron by _____.A. buying special greeting cards or gifts from UNICEF.B. helping the program of digging wells in poor area.C. doing some volunteer work for them.D. keeping our environment from being polluted.71.Supposing there are 300, 000 starving children, how much money will be needed to helpthem according to 2003 standard?A. 15 dollars.B. 20, 000 dollars.C. 4, 500, 000 dollars.D. 2, 200, 000 dollars.(C)The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Picasso talked about modern art. Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.And yet, city life isn’t easy. Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs (损害) our basic mental processes. After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While it’s long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain. Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn. Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone (里程碑). For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities. Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we’re crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of strangers. In recent years, it’s become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.This research is also leading some scientists to dabble(涉足) in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain. The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants, can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life. The mind needs nature, and even a little bit can be a big help.72.Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. The city inspires talented people.B. The city hurts your brain.C. The city has many pleasures and benefits.D. The city seriously affects the natural balance.73.The word “metropolis” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A. citizenB. natureC. cityD. stress74.What is the factor mentioned in the third paragraph that helps the hospital patients recovermore quickly?A. Nature.B. Better treatment.C. Experienced doctors.D. Good medicine.75.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Different aspects of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to anincrease in self-control.B. Small changes in urban design cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.C. For the first time in history, the earth’s population is more urban than rural.D. A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.Section C BAFEDDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. (F=AB)A. Classroom participationB. Differences in American university educationC. Examination systemD. Competition among studentsE. Honest policy in students’ school workF. Students’ responsibility for learning76. ___________There is considerable variety in university classroom in the United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula, no two courses are the same. Undergraduate courses are considerably different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ from that in community colleges which are free and open to everyone.77. ___________Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures.78. ___________Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructor expects students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades.79. ___________Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust. The honor system, put forward by the teacher and the university demands that the student be honest in all areas of school work. Thus , cheating on tests, plagiarizing (抄袭) in written work, presenting others’ ideas as original, and turning in homework completed by someone else are all prohibited.80. ___________Relationships between students in the classroom can be cooperative or competitive. International students should not hesitate to ask for help if it is needed. There are courses, however, where grades are calculated in relation t o other student’s scores. Therefore, in classes where such a grading curve is used, students may be reluctant to share lecture notes or information for fear that their own grades will suffer.Section DBreastfeeding for a month or longer appears to re duce a woman’s risk of getting diabetes (糖尿病) later in life, according to a new study. The breastfeeding and diabetes link has been reported in other studies, according to researcher Eleanor Schwarz. Yet, her study makes the link easier to believe. Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America. Schwarz and her colleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices. They evaluated data on 2,233 women from California. Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least a month, and 703 were mothers who had never breastfed. They were 40 to 78 years old.According to Schwarz’s study, the risk of getting a diagnosis (诊断) of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women who had not given birth. But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who had never given birth. Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 times as likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found.While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better. “Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for her body.” Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says.The diabetes-breastfeeding link is probably explained by belly fat. Mothers, who don’t breastfeed, as they get older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take off wei ght. “Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older,” she says.The finding isn’t surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory. She often gives advice to women who get diabetes occurring during pregnancy (怀孕) that they are at risk for later getting Type 2 diabetes and suggests they breastfeed. The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add to the advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding. She often focuses on the benefits to the baby.81. According to the first paragraph, Eleanor Schwarz’s results seem more reliable.82. According to Schwarz’s findings, those mothers who had never breastfed are more likely to get diabetes later in life.83. Schwarz agrees that if a mother breastfeeds her baby longer, she will benefit more from it.84. What does the author mean by “moms-to-be” in the last paragraph?Women who are pregnant, especially for the first timeIV. Translation: 20%1.他对于记者的提问避而不答。

The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help the common cold and other illnesses. Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness increasing immune(免疫的) function and subjective as in happy people being less by a scratchy throat or runny nose. “People with a positive emotional style may have different immune to the virus,” explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carne gie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may their illness as being less severe.”Cohen and his colleagues had found in a study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional tendency itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality tendency, health-consciousness and emotional “style”. Those who be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, those who were often unhappy, tense and unfriendly had a negative style. The researchers gave them drops through their noses either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had, while the researchers collected data, like daily mucus(黏液) production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes(鼻部的不适), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.【1】A．Living B．Staying C．Pulling D．Surviving【2】A．safeguard B．opportunity C．caution D．defense【3】A．excluded B．explored C．exposed D．escaped【4】A．generally B．commonly C．frequently D．perfectly【5】A．change B．fall C．turn D．remain【6】A．keep B．avoid C．deny D．remove【7】A．suffered B．troubled C．disturbed D．hinted【8】A．function B．ability C．response D．action【9】A．think B．relate C．interpret D．translate【10】A．formal B．current C．previous D．precious【11】A．tended to B．opposed to C．used to D．stuck to【12】A．while B．however C．what’s more D．therefore【13】A．implying B．matching C．containing D．occupying【14】A．patients B．adults C．volunteers D．researchers 【15】A．objective B．impressive C．positive D．effective三、阅读理解1.What I like to advise people is to find out what it is that makes them happy. What do you love to do? If you truly love what you do just go ahead and try to make a living by doing it. People will throw money at you to do it. But you will always have to work hard at it. I have to draw every single day of my life. I have to draw about 20 ideas. My advice is to put aside a certain amount of time every day and make you draw or whatever, especially when you don’t feel like it. Only in this way will you be able t o perfect your talent.The first step you take is to go to your local library and ask for the publications issued in the current years. When you get these publications, try to find the names of the top people concerned and their presidents. After you find these, write down their names and addresses. Keep this list and update it every year. Next thing you want to do is to create at least 40 cartoons. Get a grid（格子） from one of the strips in the newspapers, enlarge it to whatever size you wish and draw inside this grid. Now take the best 20 of your ideas and make them into finished pieces. To do this, you would want to copy them in ink because if you were a professional cartoonist, that was what you should do. Now you can reduce the size of the finished cartoo ns to fit onto a regular comic’s page. By comparing yours with the others already in print, it gives you a good idea of clarity to your cartoon.The next step is to write letters to presidents of the publication. In the letters, explain who you think would read your work, or in other words, what group do you think you would target. After you complete these, send all of your information enclosed with letters in the appropriate envelope.Now as soon as you send out these letters, start to create a brand new s trip with all new characters. Don’t get married to one idea because if your idea gets turned down then you will give up. And always remember. If you receive a rejection from any of them, keep in mind that you are working on something better. You will be working on something new and more exciting and the rejection letter will not have any impact. With this in mind…【1】What is the advice from the writer in the first paragraph when you want to succeed in your life?A．Stop doing anything until you find something quite suitable for your future career.B．Put aside a certain amount of time every day to consider how to make a living.C．Make a living by something that you truly like to do as your profession and work hard at it.D．Perfect your talent only by drawing some cartoons.【2】The purpose of writing a letter to the president was to ____.A．get some money to support the later careerB．enclose the information on how to become cartoonists with the letterC．focus his attention on the workD．explain who would be the readers of the work【3】The underlined phrase “get married to one idea” in the last paragraph probably refers to ______. A．having a strong desire to get marriedB．fixing all attention on one ideaC．marrying someone is a good ideasD．refusing one idea to get married2.Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means t hat other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers（阴沟） to handle waste, arid water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.【1】Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage? A．It is extremely important to develop tourism.B．Building roads and hotels is essential.C．Support facilities are highly necessary.D．Planning is of great importance to tourism.【2】Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. A change of tourists’ customsC. overcrowdedness of places of interest【3】It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will _____.A．use up a large amount of waterB．weaken their economyC．help establish their traditionsD．help improve their life3.Every time you go to the supermarket you come away with your purchases packed in plastic bags. But wouldn’t it be kinder to the environment if you asked for paper bags instead?The answer is not as easy as it might seem. Environmentalists say there are drawbacks to using both plastic bags and paper bags.80 percent of groceries in the US are packed in plastic bags and the numbers are becoming huge. Consumers use between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags per year worldwide.Some experts believe that all these bags harm the environment. Plastic takes hundreds of years to break down and, as it does so, poisonous materials are released into the water and soil.Further damage is caused if plastic bags enter the sea. For example, endangered sea turtles cannot tell the bags from jellyfish, their main source of food, and often choke on them.However, this kind of bag does have its advantages.Paper bags use more energy and create more waste than plastic bags. Plastic bags require 40 percent less energy to produce and cause 70 percent less air pollution. They also release as much as 94 percent less waste into the water than paper ones do.But paper bags do break down more quickly than plastic bags. They don’t endanger wildlife, either.So what should we do? One p ossible solution would be to use biodegradable plastic bags. “Biodegradable” means that the bags break down naturally just like a piece of banana peel when it is left outside.But until biodegradable technology improves, it might be easier to pack things you buy in reusable cloth bags. 【1】Compared to paper bags, plastic bags ______.A．produce 6 percent more wasteB．can be made biodegradable more easilyC．can be used as a source of foodD．save 40 percent of the energy【2】By saying “The answer is not as easy as it might seem,” (in paragraph 2) the writer means _____.A. biodegradable plastic bags can compete with paperB. paper bags seem to be kind to environmentC. it’s difficult to say whether plastic or paper bags are better for the environment【3】What does the author suggest people use at the present time?A．Paper bagsB．Plastic bagsC．Biodegradable plastic bags.D．Cloth bags.四、其他1.The scientists observed that the more junk food the rats ate, the more they wanted to eat – a behavior very similar to that of rats addicted(上了瘾的) to heroin, a dangerous drug. Johnson said the experiment shows that the brain chemistry of obesity(肥胖) and drug addiction may be quite similar.In their experiment, Johnson and his team studied the “pleasure center” of rats’ brains. The pleasure center is a complicated network of nerve cells. If the animal exercises or eats, the cells reward the animal by releasing chemicals into the body that make it feel good. And when the body feels good, the animal – or person – will want to do the behavior again.For the experiment, Johnson fed foods like cheesecake to one group of rats. Food like this is high in calories and fat. Another group of rats got a regular diet. The rats that ate junk food started to eat more and more.“They’re taking in twice the amount of calories as the control rats,” says Paul Kenny, one of Johnson’s colleagues.Kenny and Johnson wanted to know what was going on in the brains of these rats. They first designed a way to deliver a small electrical charge to the rats’ brains. This electrical charge would stimulate the pleasure centers to release pleasure-causing chemicals. The rats could control how much stimulation – and how much pleasure –they received by running on a wheel. The more the rat ran, the more pleasure it received.The rats that had been eating junk food started running more and more. This behavior suggested that the junk-food-eating rats needed more brain stimulation to feel good compared with rats on a normal diet. In other words, their pleasure centers were becoming less sensitive and the junk food didn’t make them feel good unless they ate more and more.Experiments like this one could help scientists understand how chemicals in the brain contribute to obesity. With that information, they may be able to help people avoid obesity in the first place.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)【1】The scientists suggested it was actually ___________________ that made the rats feel good.【2】How did the scientist know what was happening in the brains of the junk-food-eating rats?【3】What was the purpose of the experiment mentioned in the article?2.Fill in the blanks with the proper forms of given words. (7’)【1】A double room with a balcony overlooking the sea had been __________ (reservation) for him.【2】Our new offices are still under ___________ (construct), and this is not my office.【3】Nov.11 is __________ (reference) to as “Singles’ Day” by netizens nationwide.【4】They launched a campaign to save wild pandas from __________ (extinct).【5】Her ___________ (decide) to live abroad was a terrible blow to her parents.【6】The directors of the company refused to undertake such a ___________ (risk) venture.【7】Children are not usually allowed in, but I’m prepared to make an __________ (except) in this case.3.Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the 【1】from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is【2】for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as is often【3】 to be.

It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor【4】and ill health.The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual.

Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too. Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, white miners resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps.By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened laundries.The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners. Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers, and even cigar makers.【1】Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s?A．Because they could find good jobs there.B．Because they had found gold there.C．Because they could open laundries and restaurants there.D．Because they heard there was gold there.【2】The underlined word “resented”(L.2,Para.3 ) mean “________”.A．liked B．helped C．hated D．served【3】Which should be the title of the passage?A．Early Chinese immigrants in AmericaB．Dream to strike it richC．The difference between men and womenD．Gold miners in America2.My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II. The bookNight of the U-boats told the story.MemoriesIn September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sail.Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),which in those days always brought bad news. My grand- mother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”My most vivid memory is be ing woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.TorpedoOne torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck firm. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph. In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest（以免）we forget, I havesome more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.【1】We can infer(推断) that the mother and children went to Swansea ________.A．to meet a friendB．to see the father offC．to take a family photoD．to enjoy the sailing of the ship【2】What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?A．he was still alive.B．His knee was broken.C．His ship had been sunk.D．He had arrived in Glasgow.【3】What can we know about the author’s father after his ship was attacked?A．He lost his armB．He repaired the engines.C．He managed to take a lifeboat.D．He was the last to leave the ship.【4】What is the passage mainly about?A．A group of forgotten heroesB．A book describing a terrifying battle.C．A ship engineer’s wartime experience.D．A merchant’s memories of a sea rescue.3.Over a period of time, many habitats (栖息地)change with respect to the types of plants and animals that live there. This change is known as succession.Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the environment by shielding the soil from direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground becomes cooler and more moist than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting（产生）of shrubs. As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also enhance (增加)the soil. Pine seedlings (苗)soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs. They are not able to shade out oak and hickory (山核桃)seedlings, however, that have found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grew into large trees that eventually shade out the pines.【1】The best title of this passage is _____.A．The Importance of Weeds and GrassesB．The Success of Oak and HickoryC．How Environmental Habitats ChangeD．Animal and Plant Habitats【2】It can be inferred (推理) from the passage that ______.A．oak and hickory trees grow taller than pinesB．weeds and grasses prefer cold climateC．pines and grasses can exist togetherD．birds encourage the growth of shrubs【3】 Which of the following is a stage of succession as described in the passage?A．A forest cut down to build an airport.B．A flood washing away a crop of wheatC．Wild flowers growing in an unused parking lotD．Animals being tamed (驯服)by children五、其他1.Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.【1】什么样的发型适合她的脸型？（suit）【2】在炎热的夏日里,保护食物最有效的方法之一是把食物放在冰箱里。

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)It's bad,but its not all bad.During the lockdown,to be confined in your home with the people you love most against an invisible disease may be,at times,uncomfortable.But it can also be like living inside a poem.For me,especially early in the pandemic,it was also more than a little like living in a war zone again.The danger is real but also in some ways random.You assess risk constantly.In the first days of New York's lockdown,at the market closest to my house,the handle of the shopping cart stared up at me.It was a bluish-purple strand of plastic that seemed to hold death.I had left the house without wipes.My son was climbing on everything.People said it felt like living in a horror movie.That was not the sensation.A horror movie moves between fear and the delighted anticipation of fear.The feeling in the market was theleaden tug of dread.It was steady,and pressed you down,the way a survivor of a bombing says a blast wave does.It was also a kind of gift.Against this backdrop,what you value in life is more vivid.You can't call it a silver lining,but there is a quality of light involved,a lining that lights up edges.As a friend said after receiving a stage4cancer diagnosis,"A mirror doesn't work without backing.You need the black."That is the value in these days.Ordinarily,to experience what much of the country was experiencing in kitchens and family rooms,you would have had to get yourself to join the army.I once was a war correspondent and ran a news center for a while in a war zone.The danger was real but also in some ways

National Trust takes care of two of the four gardens.D.Tourists can call to know more about the four gardens.(C)One question I get a lot is around the topic of professional certifications.People want to know if they're worth it.After all,professional certifications cost hundreds--if not thousands--of dollars.And most require a significant investment of time and energy on top of it.So,do professional certifications actually have a measurable career payoff?The simple answer is this:I am a firm believer in the importance of lifelong learning.The payoffs are not always immediate and they're often difficult to attribute directly to any one particular certification.Many people think of professional certifications as a tool for financial gain.Sometimes,yes, but not necessarily.For example,a recent Office-Team survey of the administrative profession found that employers pay up to8%-more on average in the U.S.for employees who hold the MS Office Specialist certification.That's a pretty clear and significant benefit!But it's important to remember a few things when you hear that.First,MS Office is a very heavily used software suite and people in the administrative field are deeply reliant on it in many organizations.The MS certification is well-known and highly reputable.Possessing it demonstrates expert-level mastery of the skills required to take advantage of systems like Excel,Word,and PowerPoint.It makes sense that employers are willing to pay a bit more for administrative professionals who have already proven their advanced mastery in these areas.However,what they are really paying for is not the certificate itself--it's the value a person can bring to the organization when they have these skills.The certificate just helps the organization identify those people who can deliver greater value,but you also have to show evidence of that value.It's not realistic to think that you can go get a certificate and immediately demand moremoney.You have to use those skills to achieve more,and you have to be a vocal advocate for yourself and your accomplishments.That's how you earn the rewards.It's also not realistic to expect that all certifications will have the same powerful impact.Not all are created equal.Some are not as well-known and some do not teach you the kinds of skills that result in measurable value to the organization.That's not to say that other certifications don't matter.Sometimes,it's not about the organization at all.Some people enjoy the process of certification because it enhances their confidence and allows them to connect with other like-minded professionals.Some people like learning purely for the sake of personal growth.These things might not yield a direct financial benefit,but they are indeed valuable to you and your career.Over time,that will pay off in more concrete ways.You have to first know what you're looking to gain to know whether or not it's worth it,and you have to be insightful in your selection of certification programs.63.Which statements is NOT true about professional certifications?A.Gaining professional certifications requires much money and energy.B.Employers will pay more for employees holding certain certifications.C.They indicate recognition of the mastery of skills for complex systems.D.Certifications help organizations identify people who may bring value.64.The author may probably agree that_________.A.lifelong learning has nothing to do with gaining certificationsB.the investment in gaining certifications will immediately pay offC.certifications help employees employ and advocate their skillsD.people can gain personal growth in the process of certification65.What suggestion does the author put forward in terms of professional certifications?A.Know what you want and choose certification programs carefully.B.Be a lifelong learner and care less about measurable career payoffsC.The MS Office Specialist certification is reliable and worth a try.D.Choose famous certification programs offering long-term gains.66.Which in the following can be the best title?A.Do Certifications Equal Lifelong Learning?B.Do Certifications Guarantee Financial Gain?C.Are Professional Certifications Worth it?D.Be Insightful in Selecting Certification ProgramsSection 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.Mr Sigaty was also the first to admit there was lots of work to be done to ensure the sportcontinued to grow.B.The popularity of e-sports is surprising.anized competitive gaming has become a billion-dollar industry.D.Even the US government grants professional athlete visas to top e-sports players.E.E-sports doesn't fit neatly into any of the existing definitions of a sport.F.With the launch of video streaming services,e-sports became the mainstream.E-sports:the world's biggest performance you've never heard of Whoever said you're wasting your life away playing video games obviously had no idea how big e-sports were going to get.E-sports has become huge business over the past five years,with professional video gaming tournaments offering more prize money than some of sport's biggest events.(67)_________The League of Legends championship last year was watched by more than27million people when broadcast on ESPN,eclipsing the audiences for last year's baseball World Series(23.5million viewers)and NBA Finals(18million).With big popularity and big money involved these days, more and more people across the world are considering professional gaming as a genuine career.While some gamers have been making a living off their skills since the late1990s,it wasn't until2010's Star-craft II that things really changed.One of the first games built with e-sports squarely as its focus,Star-craft Ii became a true spectator sport.(68)_________"We knew we were building an e-sport and the competitive nature combined with streaming coming into its own really helped catch viewership in Europe and North America."the game's executive producer Chris Sigaty told an Australian news agency.(69)_________In Australia,the biggest challenge is basic facilities.Countries like South Korea and the USA have high-speed broadband that allows competitors to play and practice without the limitations of Australia's relatively slow connection speeds.As more money is brought into the sport,it's hoped traditional media companies and sponsors will invest money to help bring world class facilities to Australia's shores.But even if that does happen--will e-sports be able to truly claim it is a"sport"?Fans argue that e-sports have all the excitement,skill and competition of a basketball game. On top of that,e-sports have teams,star players,sponsors and millions of dedicated fans across the world.(70)_________But e-sports cannot escape the argument that it lacks the athletic aspects of other professional sports.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.71.Is It Bad to Sleep With Wet Hair?If you shower before bed,you've probably wondered whether sleeping with damp hair is a problem.Maybe you've heard it could make you sick,or that it can damage your hair.What's thetruth?Let's address the"it can make you sick"myth first.This idea seems to fit into the old bit of folklore that getting yourself chilled and wet will cause you to come down with a cold.However, it was long ago disproved.It's true that you're much more likely to catch a common cold during the winter months.But this has to do with viruses.Another wet-hair rumor is the idea that harmful things will colonize your pillow.Some research has shown that pillows can harbor allergy-causing mircoorganisms.They tend to do well in damp environments.Scientifically,there's no evidence that people who sleep with wet hair experience more allergy symptoms.But if you wake up with a stuffy nose,itchy（痒的）or watery eyes,breathing problems or other allergy symptoms,you should wash your pillow cases in hot water at least once a week.When it comes to the health of your hair,generally,it's thought that sleeping with hair wet may damage your hair,leading to breakages and a loss of shine.But it's worth noting that almost anything you do to your hair--from brushing and blow-drying it to coloring it or exposing it to the sun--can damage ing conditioner can help restore it.There may be some mild risks associated with going to bed with wet hair.But of all the health concerns you could worry about,this one shouldn't keep you up at night.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.这名店员自从晋升为经理之后，更加卖力工作了。

It is unknown how many people truly have these skills.E. For instance, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint.F. Many super recognizers say they are good at spotting faces in a crowd.--5It should be easy for you to recognize faces of your family and friends. But canyou remember faces that you’ ve only seen once? Youtthinkmighitis very difficult.53. They are the socalled-“ super recognizers” , who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces they’ ve seen.54. But studies shows that at least one person in every 50 is asuper recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.Bournemouth University in the UK recently carried out research trying to findwhether super recognizers have a different way to process faces. They have foundthat when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the personnose.55 . Their super ability is limited to only to recognizing faces. Another important finding is that there are subtypes （子类型） of superrecognition. Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if youpresent a pair of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whetherthe faces are of the same person or two different people.These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life.56. Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV footage（闭路电视镜头） . They could also help police spot bad guys or even missing people in crowds.53-56 ADCEUnit 2,A.

It canmake you confident when you are studying. ___65___If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that's great. You can copy them orwrite down the most important facts of all in class. ___66___ For example, some teachers may focus on lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write theimportant ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down,but they may repeat them.Don't try to write down every word in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn better with the help of these notes.___67___ If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying,you can ask him after class.Comparing your notes with your classmates can be good for your learning. ___68___ Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one place, sothat you can find everything easily when a test comes.Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every morning, you'll surely have less time to watch TV. But you'll save time in the coming test.65-68 CFDA--6。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.handling of his ___【1】____ language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual use, and a knowledge of the latest subject-matter in his fields of specialization. This is his professional equipment. In addition to this, it is desirable that he should have an inquiring mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to ____【2】___ quickly the basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work on his own, often at high speeds, but should be ____【3】___ enough to consult others if his own knowledge doesn’t always prove __【4】____ to the task in hand. He should be able to type fairly quickly and ___【5】____ and, if he is working basically as an information translator, let us say, for an industrial firm, he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to switch ___【6】____ from one source language to another, as well as from one-subject-matter to another, since this ability is frequently required of him in such work. Bearing in mind the nature of the translator’s work, i. e. the __【7】____ of the written word, it is, strictly speaking, unnecessary that he should speak the languages he is dealing with. If he does speak them, it is an ___【8】___ rather than a hindrance (障碍), but this skill is in many ways a luxury that makes no much difference to him. It is, however, ___【9】___ that he should have a rough idea about the pronunciation of his source languages, even if this is restricted to __【10】___ how proper names and place names are pronounced.4.Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer, and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control center to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed”, says Martyn Randa ll, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management compute r won’t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition(点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.But determined criminals are still managing to find o ther ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner’s keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle’s movements via the car’s GPS unit.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than 12 Words)【1】The remote immobilizer is fitted to a car to ____________________________________.【2】By saying “But only if the car is more than 10 years old”, Martyn Randall means that_____________________________________________________________.【3】Why modern cars are far tougher to steal?_______________________________________________________________________.【4】What will the operations center do first after receiving an alarm?_______________________________________________________________________.5.Translation (22%)【1】他刚到办公室，老板就开始责备他昨天没来上班。

However, help is now nearer at hand in form of the country’s first automatic push-button shop. Now residents in the Derbyshire Village of Clifton can buy groceries around the clock after the huge vending was installed outside a pub in the village this week.Peter Fox, who is【1】______electrical engineer, spent two and a half years working on the project.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. alertB. classifyC. commitD. delicatelyE. gentleF. imposeG. labels H. moderation I. relieve J. signals K. simplyLet's say you've decided you want to eat more healthfully. However, you don't have time to carefully plan menusfor meals or read food __【1】__ at the supermarket. Since you really__【2】__ yourself to a healthier lifestyle, a little help would come in handy, wouldn't it? This is where a "choice architect" can help__【3】__some of the burden of doing it all yourself. Choice architects are people who organize the contexts in which customers make decisions. For example, the person who decides the layout of your local supermarket-including which shelf the peanut butter goes on, and how the oranges are piled up—is a choice architect. Governments don't have to__【4】__healthier lifestyles through laws for example, smoking bans. Rather, if given an environment created by a choice architect-one that encourages us to choose what is best-we will do the right things. In other words, there will be designs that gently push customers toward making healthier choices, without removing freedom of choice. This idea combines freedom to choose with__【5】__hints from choice architects, who aim to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives.The British and Swedish governments have introduced a so-called "traffic light system" to __【6】__foods as healthy or unhealthy.

The customer is given important health information, but is still free to decide what to choose.二、完形填空Research has shown that two-thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion of the cultural or political problems of the day, not heated debates about films we've just watched or books we've just finished reading, but plain and simple ____.Language is our greatest treasure as a species, and what do we ____ do with it? We gossip. About others' behaviour and private lives, such as who's doing what with whom, who's in and who's out-and why; how to deal with difficult ____ situations involving children, lovers, and colleagues.So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural ____, of both time and words? Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really____issues.Dunbar ____ the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk, argues Dunbar—____, he goes on to say, language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the ____ of the higher primates（灵长类动物）like monkeys. By means of grooming--cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or____ from outside it.As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar ____ that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group, the greater the____ it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to ____ the pressure and calm everybody down.But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be ____ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more ____ kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal（有声的）grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one ____ contact.【1】A．claim B．description C．gossip D．language【2】A．occasionally B．habitually C．independently D．originally【3】A．social B．political C．historical D．cultural【4】A．admirers B．masters C．users D．wasters 【5】A．vital B．sensitive C．ideal D．difficult 【6】A．confirms B．rejects C．outlines D．broadens 【7】A．for instance B．in addition C．on the contrary D．as a result 【8】A．motivation B．appearance C．emotion D．behaviour 【9】A．attack B．contact C．inspection D．assistance 【10】A．recalls B．denies C．concludes D．confesses 【11】A．prospect B．responsibility C．leadership D．protection 【12】A．measure B．show C．maintain D．ease 【13】A．saved B．extended C．consumed D．gained 【14】A．common B．efficient C．scientific D．Thoughtful 【15】A．indirect B．daily C．physical D．secret三、阅读理解1.Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either. 【1】A plover protects its young from a predator by______.A．getting closer to its youngB．driving away the adult predatorC．leaving its young in another nestD．pretending to be injured【2】By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means______.A．chimps are ready to attack othersB．chimps are sometimes dishonestC．chimps are jealous of the winnersD．chimps can be selfish too【3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B．The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C．Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D．Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Do animals lie?B．Does Mother Nature fool animals?C．How do animals learn to lie?D．How does honesty help animals survive?2.Let's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.Here's how it works:A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create-or break-habits of your own.Here's how to apply it:Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick. a reward-say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward become interconnected. Finally, when you seethe shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won't need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workoutitself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?【1】Which of the following best fits in the box with a “?” in THE HABIT LOOP?A．Pick a new cue.B．Form a new habit.C．Choose a new reward.D．Design a new resolution.【2】According to THE HABIT LOOP, you can stick to your plan most effectively by______.A．changing the routine B．trying it for a weekC．adjusting your goal D．writing it down【3】What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?A．To test out different kinds of cues.B．To do something as a habit even without rewards.C．To work out the best New Year's resolution.D．To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.【4】“This year when I see the Harry Potter poster, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour." What is the cue in this resolution?A．The Harry Potter poster.B．Reading 30 pages of an English novel.C．An English newspaper.D．Watching TV for half an hour.3.If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising theirarms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of adark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think illof them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping,people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."【1】The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to______.A．building B．exchanging C．controlling D．transplanting【2】We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that______.A．our feelings are related to our bodily experienceB．we can learn to take control of other people's bodiesC．participants will live more passionately after the experimentD．The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes【3】In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, ______.A．they fought strongly against racismB．they scored lower on the test for racismC．they changed their behaviour dramaticallyD．they were more biased against those unlike them【4】It can be concluded from the passage that______.A．technology helps people realize their dreamsB．our biases could be eliminated through experimentsC．virtual reality helps promote understanding among peopleD．our points of view about others need changing constantly四、其他1.More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want tobe actively involved in good works.Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation. So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct（行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency （透明）in their operations. Increasingly, too. they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasison opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives liketo hear. The idea of "doing well by doing good" has become popular.Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy?Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue（美德）：it is just good business.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)【1】Both _________ in some companies find it no longer enough to simply donate money to charities.【2】Give one example of the defensive measures of risk management according to the passage.【3】With the emphasis on opportunity, the third layer of CSR is meant to_________.【4】According to the passage, "good business" (paragraph 6) means that corporations ________ while making profits.2.Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.【1】我习惯睡前听点轻音乐。

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.Love from the Apple TreeOnce upon a time, there used to be a tall and big apple tree. A little boy, every day to the tree down, climbed up 21(pick) apples to eat, and slept in the shade of the tree. He loved the apple tree, and it loved to play with him. The little boy gradually grew up and stopped 22 (come) to play every day. One day hecame to the tree, picked all the apples and left happily. Another day, the boy came again, and cut off all the branches, happily away to build a house himself. One summer, the boy came back, cut down her tree trunk, built a boat, 23 (sail) away, and did not come back for a long time. After years, the boy returned at last. He was old and wanted 24 more than a place to rest. “Old root is 25 (suitable) to sit down and rest, come on, sit down and rest with me!” The boy sat down, and the apple tree was so happy that it shed tears.This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parent. 26 we are young, we love to play with Mom and Dad. Having grown up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they 27 to make you happy.28 your parents can give you is not necessarily the best in the world, but they will try their best to give you all, and they are afraid that it is not enough; maybe they never said “I love you”, but love you in their own way for a lifetime, 29 is how most parents around the world show their love. For example, a tired father was watching his two daughters eat fried chicken, but he didn’t order anythi ng, telling his daughters that he was not hungry, 30 more money in his pocket. We grow up to know that the world’s most affectionate lie is what the father and mother said: I do not love to cat it and I amnot hungry.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there isone word more than you need.A ．advantageB ．anticipatingC ．digitallyD ．facilitating E. geometry F. giant G. initiated H. painstakingly I. potentially J. reopened K. soughtHow Digital Modeling Plays a Key Role in Restoring the Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院)It’s been more than four years since a fire damaged Notre Dame, the Catholic cathedral in Paris that’s historically drawn millions of visitors every year.Since then, people from around the world have united to support an effort, 31 by French President, that’s intended to have the building back open to the public by the end of next year. Teams working to restore the Gothic cathedral have 32 to rebuild much of the damaged sections using materials like oakwood (橡木) and stone that have stood the test of centuries.But the builders, architects and engineers do have the 33 of some 21st century technologies, including modern building information modeling (BIM) software that enables them to work with a(n) 34 detailed 3D digital model ofthe cathedral and surrounding site, backed by powerful cloud computing technology.“It allows you to really understand a lot of how a building fits together, how it’s constructed,” says Andrew Anagnost, CEO of design software 35 Autodesk. It has contributed technical consulting, software and financial assistance to the project since shortly after the fire. A digital model, which took more than a year to create, includes more than 12,000 objects.It was a complex process. Onsite workers captured the point-by-point 3D 36 of the cathedral with laser (激光) and photo equipment. Then, others turned the data points from that process into detailed shapes and objects, down to individual building stones. That let experts see how the building shifted in the fire —important for 37 any stability issues — and plan out the process of reconstruction.“It’s like Mission: Impossible when they plan,” says Nicolas Mangon, VP of architecture, engineering and construction industry strategy at Autodesk. “Every little piece is done 38 , and with the 3D model you can simulate ( 模拟) everything.”Even when the cathedral is 39 , the model may still serve important roles. Mangon says the company is currently in discussions about using it to manage aspects of the complex going forward, 40 usingsensors that could show the exact location of any future fires.III.Reading Comprehension (共45 分。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.As infants, we can recognize our mothers within hours of birth. In fact, we can recognize the 【1】 of our mother’s face well before we can recognize her body shape. It’s【2】how the brain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we don’t learn to walk and talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguish around 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to【3】 such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and processes【4】 for facial recognition.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in【5】 a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), which is used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars, is from【6】 in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been【7】 thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but【8】involves three steps. The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a person’s face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex【9】 is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.三、完形填空Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is：Is economic globalization 50 for all? According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce 51 in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 52 to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seenincomes 53 at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.Those who 54 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses. 55 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally havesold only in 56 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 57 the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 58 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. 59 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 60 their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of 61 . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to 62 and will be crowded out. One thing is certain about globalization—there is no 63 . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The 64 now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.

About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t se e certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and notseventy.” (335 words)【1】Which of the following is true of amusics?A．Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B．They love places where they are likely to hear music.C．They can easily tell two different songs apart.D．Their situation is well understood by musicians.【2】According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who __________. A．dislikes listening to speechesB．can hear anything nonmusicalC．has a hearing problemD．lacks a complex hearing system【3】In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that __________.A．her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB．she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC．her problem could be easily explainedD．she were able to meet other amusics【4】What is the passage mainly concerned with?A．Amusics’ strange behaviours.B．Some people’s inability to enjoy music.C．Musical talent and brain structure.D．Identification and treatment of amusics.2.(268 words)【1】According to Warranty Limitations, a product can be under warranty if __________.A. shipped from a Canadian factoryB. rented for home useC. repaired by the user himselfD. used in the U.S.A.【2】According to Owner’s Responsibilities, an owner has to pay for __________.A．the loss of the sales receipt B．a servicer’s overtime workC．the product installation D．a mechanic’s transportation【3】Which of the following is true according to the warranty?A．Consequential damages are excluded across America.B．A product damaged in a natural disaster is covered by the warranty.C．A faulty cabinet due to rust can be replaced free in the second year.D．Free repair is available for a product used improperly in the first year.3.A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drive s us on a day to day basis.”(392 words)【1】The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that __________.A．they had no model in their mindB．they did not have sufficient timeC．they had no ready-made componentsD．they could not assemble the components【2】It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly __________.A．consists of a flight device and a control systemB．can just fly in limited areas at the present timeC．can collect information from many sourcesD．has been put into wide application【3】Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A．The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.B．Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.C．There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.D．Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．Father of Robotic FlyB．Inspiration from Engineering ScienceC．Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life InsectD．Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study4.A study of more than five million books, both fiction and non-fiction, has found a marked decline in the use of emotional words over time. The researchers form the University of Bristol used Google Ngram Viewer, a facility for finding the frequency of terms in scanned books, to search for more than 600 particular words identified as representing anger, dislike, fear, joy, sadness and surprise.They found that almost all of the categories (类别) showed a drop in these “mood words” over time. Only in the category of fear was there an increase in usage.“It is a steady and continuous decrease,” said Dr Alberto Acerbi. He assumed that the result might be explained by a change in the posi tion occupied by literature, in a crowded media landscape. “One thing could be that in parallel to books the 20th century saw the start of other media. Maybe these media—movies, radio, drama—had more emotional content than books.”Although both joy and sadness followed the general downwards trend, the research, published in the journal PLOS One, found that they also exhibited another interesting behaviour：the ratio (比率) between the two varied greatly, apparently mirroring historical events.During the Roaring Twenties the joy-to-sadness ratio reached a peak that would not occur again until before the recent financial crash. But the ratio plunged at the height of the Second World War. Nevertheless, the researchers held a reserved opinion about their claim that their result reflected wider social trends. In the paper, they even argue that the reverse could be true.“It has been suggested, for example, that it was the suppression (压抑) of desire in ordinary Elizabethan English life that increased demand for writi ng ‘filled with romance and sex’… perhaps,” they conclude, “songs and books may not reflect the real population any more than catwalk models reflect the average body.”(Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)【1】A s tudy of more than five million books indicated a decline in “mood words” over time except【2】According to Dr Alberto Acerbi, one reason for the drop of “mood words” in books may be that【3】What were the two periods when the joy-to-sadness ratio was at its highest?【4】While the researchers found some changes in the use of “mood words” in books, they werenot surethat五、其他1.【1】The use of health supplements such as multivitamin tablets has increased greatly in the western world. People take these supplements because advertising suggests that they prevent a range of medical conditions from developing. However, there is concern that people are consuming worryingly high doses of these supplements and the European Union (EU) has issued a directive that will ban the sale of a wide range of them. This EU directive should be supported.【2】Research suggests that people who take Vitamin C supplements of over 5000 milligrams a day are more likely to develop cancer. This shows how much damage these health supplements do to people’s health. A spokesman for the health supplement industry has argued that other research shows that Vitamin C supplements help prevent heart disease, but we can dismiss this evidence as it is from a biased source.【3】Science fiction of the 1960s and 1970s predicted that pills would replace meals as the way in which people would get the fuel they needed. This, it was argued, would mean a more efficient use of time as people wouldn’t have to waste it preparing or eating meals. The EU directive would help prevent this nightmare of pills replacing food becoming a reality.【4】Peop0le already take too many pills instead of adopting a healthier lifestyle. For example, the consumption of painkillers in Britain in 1998 was 21 tablets per year for every man, woman and child in the country. People do not need all these pills.【5】Some might argue that the EU directive de nies people’s right to freedom of choice. However, there are many legal examples for such intervention when it is in the individual’s best interests. We now make people wear seatbelts rather than allowing them to choose to do so. Opposing the EU directive would mean beneficial measures like this would be threatened.2.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.【1】今年元旦我们玩得很开心。

Reading Comprehension Section A （15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank w ith the word or phrase that best fits the context.When discussing the causes of animal endangerment, it is important to understand that individual species are not the only factors involved in this difficult situation. Endangerment is a broad 50 , one that involves the habitats(栖息地) and environments where species live and interact with one another. Although some measures are being taken to help specific cases of endangerment, the universal problem cannot be solved until humans 51 the natural environments where endangered species live. There are many reasons why a particular species may become endangered, but habitat destruction is on top.Our planet is continually changing, causing habitats to be altered and modified. Natural changes tend to occur at a 52 pace, usually causing only a slight 53 on individual species. However, when changes occur at a fast pace, there is little or no time for individual species to 54 and adjust to new circumstances. This can create disastrous results, and for this reason, rapid habitat loss is the primary cause of species endangerment. The strongest 55 in rapid habitat loss are human beings. Nearly every region of the earth has been affected by human activity , particularly during this past century . The loss of microbes (微生物) in soils that 5612--------------------------------------------------------------------密-----------------------------------------------封---------------------------------------------------------线---------------------------------------------------------------------supported tropical forests, the 57 of fish and various aquatic species in polluted habitats, and changes in global climate brought about by the 58 of greenhouse gases are all results of human activity.It can be difficult for an individual to 59 the effects that humans have had on specifi c species. It is hard to identify or predict human effects on individual species and habitats, especially during a human lifetime. But it is quite 60 that human activity has greatly 61 to speci es endangerment. 62 , although tropical forests may look as though they are thick and h ealthy, they are 63 highly susceptible (易受影响的）to destruction. This is because the soils in whi ch they grow 64 nutrients. It may take centuries to re-grow a forest that was cut down by h uman s or destroyed by fire, and many of the world’s severely threatened animals and plants live in these forests. If the current rate of forest loss continues, huge quantities of plant and animal species will disappear.50. A. theme B. project C. issue D. experiment51.

In a study described in The Journal of experimental Psychology, a group of people with end-stage kidney（肾）failure were provided with electronic devices that required them to record their moods at various times throughout the day. For comparison, a group of healthy volunteers used the same devices. When researchers had studied the results, they found that the levels of happiness were about the same for the two groups.The researchers, led by Dr. Jason Riis of Princeton when he was a graduate student at the University of Michig an, also found that the healthy people greatly overestimated how unhappy the sick ones would be. And the sick people overestimated how happy healthy ones would be.For the study, 49 kidney disease patients who were undergoing dialysis（透析）sections three times a week were given personal digital assistants, as 49 healthy volunteers were matched to the patients by age, race, education and sex. When the devices beeped, the subjects were asked to rate their mood on a 5-point scale, with 2 defined as “very pleasant” and minus 2 defined as “very unpleasant”. On average, the kidney patients rated their mood as 0.70, while the h ealthy subjects rated it as 0.83. The participants were also asked to describe other emotions they might be feeling, including joy and anxiety, and to describe their levels of physical comfort. And sometimes they were asked, “How do you feel about your life as a whole?”A better understanding of how well people are able to adapt to poor health, the researchers said, could help doctors and patients make wiser choices about their medical care. Earlier studies have also found that seriously ill patients described themselves as being happy. But these patients were not given a chance to answer questions about their mood privately and repeatedly over a period of time, Dr. Riis said, and so it was unclear how accurate their responses were.1. It can be learnt from the study that ______.A. the electronic devices used are digital assistants for dialysisB. all the subjects are of the same age, race, sex and educationC. the levels of happiness are little affected by health conditionsD. both patients and healthy people overestimate their own happiness2. In the research, the subjects’ ratings of their mood levels were ______ on average.A. vagueB. positiveC. negativeD. neutral3. One of Dr. Riis’ concerns about the result of the research was whether ______.A. it revealed the patients’ privacyB. it reflected what the patients really thoughtC. the questions for the patients were repeatedD. the assignment for all subjects was accurate4. The purpose of the research was ______.A. to help patients adapt to poor healthB. to learn patients’ average level of happinessC. to define the extent to which health condition affects happinessD. to find the distinction between the healthy and unhealthy peopleSection DThis article is designed to help you understand why you should always call the authorities to the scene of an accident in which you were injured and why the insurance company you may be facing will hate that you did so!When you call the police to the scene of your accident, then the police will require the drivers involved to exchange insurance and identification information. The police may also obtain witness information and preserve statements about the event, including descriptions of what occurred and complaints of injury. All of this information will very likely assist you in the future with your claim and hurt the insurance company's ability to deny your claim. By calling the police, you have made an official record of the event and can be relatively sure that the information you receive about the other driver is accurate and truthful.This official record will effectively prevent the other driver's insurance company from arguing that the incident did not occur or that their insured driver was not involved in the cause of your injuries. (Y es, insurance companies will deny responsibility at every opportunity, including whether their driver was even in the accident with you.)Finally, statements from witnesses or the other driver may contain valuable facts that may be later forgotten or can be used to make up a "changed story." I don't know how many times I have been told by my clients that the other person admitted fault at the scene, but later hear from the insurance company that no such statement was made and that the cause of the accident was contested. (Y ou may not be aware of th is, but I will bet that your own automobile insurance card contains the following instruction: Do not admit fault for the accident. Remember, the insurance companies hate it when their drivers take responsibility for the accident because it damages their ability to deny or effectively defend your claim. After all, these companies are in business to make lots of money, not to pay it to you!) If you follow this rule, then you are a step ahead in the game and you will have a much better chance of successfully making your automobile accident personal injury claim.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)31The information related to a car accident is collected by the police to ______.2If witness statements are not recorded officially, the relevant facts may ______.3What can you do when you have called the police to the scene?4Why don’t the insurance companies want you to admit fault for the accident?I．Translation (20分)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.药品不应该放在孩子们容易拿得到的地方。
