The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned that global temperatures are rising at an alarming rate. The primary cause of this warming is the excessive emission of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space, leading to a gradual increase in the Earth's temperature.One of the most significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas. This not only contributes to climate change but also has severe environmental and health impacts. Deforestation, industrial processes, and agricultural practices also contribute to the problem.To combat climate change, several measures need to be taken. Firstly, there should be a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This can be achieved through the adoption of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Secondly, there is a need to improve energy efficiency in homes, businesses, and industries. Thirdly, sustainable agricultural practices should be encouraged to reduce emissions from the farming sector.The IPCC has also highlighted the importance of international cooperation in addressing climate change. Countries need to work together to develop and implement effective strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change. This includes sharing technology, funding, and knowledge to help developing countries adapt to the changing climate.It is clear that climate change is a global challenge that requires urgent action. Individuals, communities, and governments must all play a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. Only through collective efforts can we hope to preserve our planet for future generations.Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)Section AFor each passage, there are two questions or incomplete statements. For each question or statement, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage 1The Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate and access information. However, this technological advancement has also brought about a range of challenges, particularly in the realm of privacy and security. With the increasing amount of personal data being shared online, individuals are at greater risk of identity theft and other forms of cybercrime.One of the most common ways in which personal information is compromised is through phishing scams. These scams involve sending fraudulent emails that appear to be from legitimate organizations, such as banks or social media platforms. The emails often contain links that direct users to fake websites where they are prompted to enter their personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.Another significant concern is the use of social media. While social media platforms provide a means for individuals to connect with others and share information, they also present opportunities for predators to target vulnerable users. Cyberbullying and online harassment are also prevalent issues that can have serious psychological consequences.To protect themselves from these risks, individuals need to be vigilant and take proactive measures. This includes being cautious about sharing personal information online, using strong and unique passwords for different accounts, and being wary of suspicious emails and messages.The government and private sector also have a role to play in addressing these issues. Regulatory bodies need to enforce laws that protect consumer privacy and security, and technology companies should implement robust security measures to safeguard user data.Questions 16-1716. What is the main purpose of the passage?A) To discuss the benefits of the Internet.B) To highlight the challenges of privacy and security online.C) To provide tips on how to use social media safely.D) To promote the use of strong passwords.17. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to protect personal information online?A) Being cautious about sharing personal information.B) Using strong and unique passwords.C) Avoiding online shopping.D) Being wary of suspicious emails and messages.Section BRead the following passage and answer the questions below.Passage 2In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the concept of mindfulness, which refers to the practice of being fully present and engaged in the moment. Mindfulness has been shown to have numerous benefits, including reduced stress, improved focus, and better emotional regulation.One of the most popular mindfulness practices is meditation. Meditation involves sitting quietly and focusing on your breath or a specific thought. This helps to calm the mind and reduce the level of stress hormones in the body.Another mindfulness practice is yoga. Yoga combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. It has been found to be effective in reducing anxiety and improving overall well-being.Research has also shown that mindfulness can have a positive impact on mental health. Individuals who practice mindfulness are less likely to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety. They are also better equipped to cope with stress and adversity.To incorporate mindfulness into your daily life, you can start with simple practices such as taking a few deep breaths when you feel stressed or focusing on the sensations in your body during a walk. Over time, these practices can lead to a more mindful way of living.Questions 18-2218.

Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best techniques in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have… Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became.

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles(肌肉) relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep tell us that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This period of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you can’t fall asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believed that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!1. A good title for this passage is ________.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest2. The word “drowsy” in the last paragraph means _________.A. sickB. stand upC. awakeD. a little sleepy3.

Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk.At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.1. Tokyo is different from London in that ____________.A. it has a smaller populationB. it is an international cityC. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot in TokyoD. its people are friendlier and more polite.2. What time does the writer think is the worst time to go into the street?A. When the night-clubs are closing.B. At 8 o'clock in the morning.C. When the train is overcrowded.D. At 11:30 a.m.3. What does the writer say about Japanese trains?A. There are not enough trains.B. They are very nice and comfortable.C. They leave and arrive at the right time.D. They often run behind schedule.4. From the writer's observation, we can see that fires break out in Tokyo _______.A. occasionally.B. quite frequentlyC. not very oftenD. twice a day5. The writer hates Tokyo mainly because the city _________.A. is dirty and the people are impoliteB. has been seriously pollutedC. is crowded and noisyD. is not modern enoughPassage 4 DCCCBEvery ten years there is a national census(人口普查) to count the number of people. The Census Office asks every household to answer questions on a census form. The census counts people by the kind of housing they live in, the country in which they were born, and the kind of job they do and how they travel to work. Census results are used by a great many people and areavailable to everyone in many ways.For example, in order to work out present and future needs we must know how people are housed now, and the sizes and ages of their families. For hospitals, schools and other local services, the size of annual grants(拨款) made by the Government to these services depends largely on the numbers and needs of people in the area.Many of the figures come from the census. In order to work out future spending for pensions (养老金), we need to know people's ages, how many are men and how many are women, whether they are single or married, and the size of the family. The census shows how many people have moved from one area to another and how the local workforce is changing. This information is used when factories, offices, shops, public transport and places for leisure are being planned. The census is taken in order to provide figures about the nation as a whole. It does not give information about any named person, family or household. Names and addresses are needed to take the census accurately, but they are not fed into the computer. After the census, the forms are locked away and will not be released to anyone outside the Census Office for 100 years. The answers you give on your census form will be treated secretly. No one outside the Census Office will see your completed form - but if you refuse to complete your form properly, you may be taken to court and the form could be produced as evidence. Everyone working on the census is required to keep it secret and can be accused if he or she improperly reveals information.1. It is necessary to know what sort of housing conditions people have in order to plan ________.A) the sizes and ages of familiesB) the sizes and ages of housesC) how many presents will be neededD) how many houses need to be built2. The census shows the changes that have taken place regarding ______.A) the number of people who work in the areaB) the number of buses in the areaC) the strength of workers in the areaD) the use of power in the area3. Which of the following statements is true?A) There is no information about people's names on the census forms.B) The census would not be accurate if the information was fed into a computer.C) The census gives information about the whole country.D) Named people and families do not need to give information.4. Information about names and addresses ________.A) is stored in the computer for 100 yearsB) is not usually accurateC) will not be seen by anyoneD) will be made public in 100 years5. The people who work on the census _______.A) will not see the completed formsB) have promised not to reveal informationC) are not allowed to keep the information in memoryD) are secretly trainedPassage 5 CBCAAIf you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.A famous scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1974), concluded, from his work among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about rapid growth of everything in nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be good time to take a long vacation from thinking.1. According to this passage, your intelligence probably________.A. stays the same throughout the yearB. varies from day to dayC. changes with the seasonsD. changes from year to year2. Huntington based his conclusions on __________.A. records of changes in his own intelligenceB. his work among peoples in different climatesC. records of temperature changesD. all of the above3. It seems that the cold of winter _________.A. increases the ability to thinkB. is the best time for thinkingC. is better for thinking than the heat of summerD. decreases the ability to think4. One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that______.A. everything in nature, including man, is growing then.B. it lasts longer than the other seasons.C. it is not too warm and not too coldD. both B and C5. The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _________.A. spring and fallB. winter and summerC. summer and springD. fall and winterPassage 6 ABCADSurprise! You’re in college! “I never knew living with a roommate was so hard.” “I can’t believe the amount of reading required for just one class.” “I didn’t know what the Freshman 20was until I gained 20 pounds.” No matter how hard or how long you plan for college, it’s f illed with surprises, from dorm conflicts and academic rigors（严酷；艰苦）to the relationship maze and campus logistics（后勤）. Students at Northwestern College in Saint Paul, Minn., share surprises they encountered to give freshmen a “heads up” on what to expect when entering the ivy-covered walls this fall.Dorm LifeAdjusting to a roommate’s music preferences, sleeping times and tastes in dorm was a surprise to Emily Carlson,a communication major. “I was an only child used to my own room, so it was a chall enge adjusting to roommates.” “At first it felt like being at summer camp,” recalls Kristy Lindquist, a cross-cultural ministry major. “Eventually one becomes accustomed to it, after growing from both good and bad experiences.” At the beginning of her fres hman year, Amber White, a music major, thought she’d get close to one roommate in particular, but it wasn’t the case. “I thought I’d get along better with my roommates, but overall the friends I made in the first weeks were not the friends I actually kept.” The housekeeping aspects of the sexes surprised senior Ben Hemmila, president of the Northwestern Student Association. “Guys’ dorms smell bad no matter what happens! Girls’ dorms are generally messier than guys’, but smell better.”AcademicsNeed to study for a mid-term exam or finish a term paper? Get ready to burn the midnight oil ― and the early-morning oil! “Late in college means 3-4 a.m. not 10-11 p.m.” says Hemmila. Carlson agrees. “With other obligations, like work and social things, studying until 3 a.m. is not unusual.” Yet she was surprised at her stamina（体力；精力；活力）. “I’ve stayed up 48, even 72 hours studying ― thanks to coffee and willpower. Staying up isn’t that hard. The difficult part is keeping everything in your brain.” Another common s urprise is the vast amount of reading college requires: 50-60 pages a night ― per class! Hemmila was surprised he didn’t get a detention（延迟；留置；拘留）when he skipped a class. But he still paid the tuition for that skipped class. S tudents are surprised to realize their education needs to include personal discipline and time management. “There is never enough time,” realizes Katie Dean, a business major. “I can’t be involved in everything like in high school, and even a part-time job is hard with a full load.” P aul Bradley, dean of residence life at Northwestern College, says freshmen usually find they have more homework than expected and finals are more difficult. “They’re surprised because they get fewer directives from professors on how to study and what to st udy.”As for that Freshman 20, Murphy hears from many students who were amazed how quickly they gained weight. “It’s the reality of inactivity ― sitting in class, studying, then eating pizza.”1. According to the passage above, the Freshman 20 is _____.A.a new student who is almost 20B.a freshman who gains 20 pounds quicklyC.a new students who is 20 poundsD.a freshman who always gains weight 20 pounds a year2. What might “burn the midnight oil” mean in this passage?A.To burn something at night with oil.B.To stay up studying.C.To burn the mid-term exam or a term paper at night.D.To get up late.3. The following statements are mentioned EXCEPT _____.A.bo ys’ dorms do not smell good no matter what happensB. it was a challenge for those who live in their own rooms at home to adjust to roommatesC. students are not surprised to know the y need personal discipline and time managementD. coffee and willpower can help students study at night for long time4. What can we know from the passage based on the author’s opinion?A.Time and tide wait for no man.B.It is easy for students to adjust to the new college life.C.Dorm life is different from the life at home.D.Freshmen know what to do because they can get much help from professors.5. This passage mainly tells us ______.A.dorm life in collegeB.academics in collegeC.new s tudents life at Northwestern CollegeD.surprise at dorm life and academics of the new students in collegePassage7 DCBABWhat can you do when you find yourself in school without enough friends? Making friends on campus is not the easiest thing to do especially when you are new on campus or you go to an urban commuter campus. Meeting people at school need s not be a daunting task. There are several methods that are not difficult to master and you may find easy when you try them out.Start by looking around at people you tend to see frequently, such as, people who you see in your classes, dorms and dining areas. Often an easy way to start a conversation is to focus on an area of obvious common interest. For example, before or after classes, ask, “did you get the assignment for next week”, or “ what did you think of the professor’s theory of...”This gets you pas s the most difficult part, which is starting the first conversation. Be sure to introduce yourself before the end of the conversation.If your campus has a dining facility, cafe or coffee cart, then there will be more opportunities for meeting people. After you’ve introduced yourself and talked about class, it’s the perfect time to ask the other person to join you for a cup of coffee. Once you are at the table it should be easier to talk about where you’re from, what is your major, what you think of the class, whether it is easy or hard. Once you start a conver sation, you’ve gotten past the most difficult part. It will be much easier to suggest meeting again for coffee, or to meet socially off campus.Put yourself where there are other people that you will see over and over. Join a club, interest group or sports team. Obviously if you live in a dormitory you will have chances to interact with people in your dorm floor as well as the dorm cafeteria. Make it a point of inviting people to meet you for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don’t be a cockroach —someone who hangs out in a dark room and scurries(急转，疾行) when the lights are turned on.Working on Campus is also a good way to meet people, as well as put some money in your pocket, while solving two problems at once. Social events can be good ways to meet people. School dances, campus mixers and happy hours may seem to make you have something in common to talk about.1. In the first paragraph, the author seems trying to convey the following EXCEPT _____.A. making friends is a hard thing on campusB. we can do nothing about making friendsC. there are methods of making friends that may be of helpD. none of the above2. The expression ‘cockroach’ (Line 5, Para. 4) in this passage probably refers to _____.A. the insect that comes out at night and seldom goes out in the daytimeB. someone who comes out at night and seldom goes out in the daytimeC. someone who often stays in a dorm and only goes out when necessaryD. someone who often hangs around and only meets people on campus3. The methods of making friends include the following statements EXCEPT _____.A. joining in a sports teamB. taking up a part-time jobC. studying in a place frequentlyD. asking someone to join you for a cup of coffee4. The possible reason that the author suggests you ask ‘did you get the a ssignment for next week’ is _____.A. to start a conversationB. to know why he or she did n’t finish the assignmentC. to get help from him or her assignmentD. to collect the assignment for the professor5. What this passage mainly discusses is______.A. the importance of making friends on campusB. making friends on campus is very easyC. m eeting and m aking f riends on c ampusD. life on campusPassage 8 DCBBAOne cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder sto pped me, saying, “My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone ( 磨刀石)?”“Yes, sir,” said I.“You are a fine little fellow!” said the man. “Will you let me grind my ax?”Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “Oh, yes, sir. The grindstone is down in the shop.”Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.“How old are you, and what is you name?” he asked, without waiting for a reply, “I’m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal (小坏蛋), you have played truant ( 旷课)! Run to school, or you’ll be sorry!”“Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this cold day, b ut now to be called a rascal is too much.”The memory of turning the grindstone that winter morning sank deep into my mind. I have thought of it since. Now, whenever I hear words of flattery, I say to myself. “That man has an ax to grind.”1. Which of the following did the man with the ax NOT do that morning?A. Flattering the boy with nice words.B. Patting the boy on the head.C. Blaming the boy with sharp words.D. Giving the boy a small toy.2. T he man ask ed the boy so many questions ________.A. to know how old the boy wasB. to know if his father was at homeC. to let the boy grind his axD. to know the study about the boy3. What did NOT happen to the boy when the work was finished?A. He was tired.B. He was praised by the man.C. He was late for school.D. He felt hurt by the man’s words.4. The man called the boy “rascal” because _______.A. his ax was done wellB. he thought that the boy should go to school on timeC. his ax was damagedD. he di dn’t want the boy to go to school5. Today in the English language, “That man has an ax to grind” means _______.A. that man has some selfish reasons for his actionsB. that man needs to sharpen his axC. that man is very kind to boysD. that man works with an axPassage 9 DCACDWhy is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals (both short-term and long-range) to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?Winners in life set goals and follow them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set and they aren’t difficultto reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion you are able to stimulate your subconscious to be continuously alert to situations that will further your goal.1) The example of two drivers in the second paragraph is cited to show __________.A. the difficulty of driving without a mapB. the foolishness of the second driverC. the importance of avoiding wrong turnsD. the significance of setting goals2) Successful people differ from unsuccessful ones in that __________.A. the former set goals which are difficult to achieveB.the latter make unreasonable demands of themselvesC.the former have goals in life and make plans to carry them outD. the latter set goals and try to get other people to help them3) According to the writer, what is the most important in the whole process of realizing one’s goal?A.Trying to be realistic about one’s capabilities.B. Analyzing problems that may be involved.C. Having a clear understanding of what one wants in life.D. Dreaming of a very beautiful future.4) What is suggested if people want to realize their goals without fail?A. They should write down their goals.B. They should sign a contract with other people involved.C. They should be aware of the difficulties they are faced with.D. They should discuss with other people about their goals.5) Which of the following statements is closest to the main idea of the passage?A. Success is possible only when a person has set his or her goal clearly.B. Goals enable people to achieve everything they desire in life.C. Winners of any competition should never be satisfied with themselves.D. Goals must be realistic and within the realm of possibility.Passage 10 BCDCCIt was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “King Enterprises,” she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices,so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day’s work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.1) Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _______.A. it was her first day in a new jobB. she was a little bit late for workC. she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong placeD. there was no answer from inside the office2) Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as _______.A. the office had a new appearanceB. Mr. King was not in the officeC. nobody was doing any workD. she had been there only once3) The people in the office suddenly started working because _______.A. they saw a stranger in the officeB. they had finished their morning breakC. no one wanted to talk to MarieD. the boss was about to arrive4) We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise _______.A. would start their work by listening to a jokeB. were cold to newcomersC. lacked devotion to the companyD. were always punctual for work5) The best title for this text would be _______.A. Punctual Like A ClockB. A Cold WelcomeC. An Unpunctual ManagerD. Better Late Than NeverPassage 11 BCDBBI was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there, though like most children of my age, I was used to seeing bombed houses in the streets and the enormous army lorries （卡车）passing through. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases “before the war ” and “when the war’s over”. “Before the war”, apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice。

Twain's racial tone was not perfect. One is left uneasy，for example，by the lengthy passage in his autobiography(自传 )about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youth mostly with white men performing in lackface and his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them. Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality. His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.

Section I: Reading ComprehensionPassage 1:Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.The rapid advancement of technology in the 21st century has revolutionized the way we live, work, and communicate. One of the most significant developments has been the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). AI systems are now capable of performing complex tasks that were once exclusive to humans, such as language translation, medical diagnosis, and even artistic creation.Despite the numerous benefits of AI, there are concerns about its impact on society. Critics argue that AI could lead to job displacement, as machines become more efficient than humans in certain tasks. They also express worries about the ethical implications of AI, such as the potential for bias in decision-making algorithms and the risk of AI systems becoming uncontrollable.Proponents of AI, however, believe that it will create new job opportunities and improve the quality of life. They argue that AI will free humans from mundane tasks, allowing them to focus on more creative and fulfilling endeavors. Moreover, AI has the potential to enhance human decision-making by providing data-driven insights and predictions.The debate over AI's impact on society is likely to continue as the technology evolves. It is crucial for policymakers, businesses, and individuals to understand both the opportunities and challenges presented by AI. By doing so, they can ensure that AI is developed and implemented in a way that maximizes its benefits while minimizing its risks.Questions:1. What are two main concerns expressed by critics of AI?2. How do proponents of AI argue that it will improve the quality of life?3. What is the main point of the passage?Passage 2:Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.In recent years, the environmental movement has gained significant momentum worldwide. People are becoming increasingly aware of the urgent need to address climate change and protect the planet.

Firstly, it is a clean and sustainable source of energy, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps mitigate climate change. Secondly, renewable energy is abundant and inexhaustible, ensuring a reliable energy supply for future generations. Finally, investing in renewable energy can create jobs and stimulate economic growth.However, the transition to renewable energy faces several challenges. One of the main challenges is the high initial cost of setting up renewable energy infrastructure. Additionally, some renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are intermittent and depend on weather conditions, which can make them less reliable than fossil fuels.Despite these challenges, the global trend towards renewable energy is undeniable. Many countries are setting ambitious targets for renewable energy adoption, and technological advancements are making renewable energy more efficient and cost-effective. As a result, the future of renewable energy looks promising, and it is crucial for the world to continue investing in this crucial sector.Questions:1.

2019年6月全国普通高等学校招生统一考试上海英语试卷III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.We’re told that writing is dying. Typing on keyboards and screens 41 written communication today. Learning cursive (草书), joined-up handwriting was once 42 in schools. But now, not so much. Countries such as Finland have dropped joined-up handwriting lessons in schools 43 typing courses. And in the U. S., the requirement to learn cursive has been left out of core standards since 2013. A few U. S. states still place value on formative cursive educa tion, such as Arizona, but they’re not the 44 .Some experts point out that writing lessons can have indirect 45 . Anne Trubek, author of The History and Uncertain Future of Handwriting, argues that such lessons can reinforce a skill called automaticity. That’s when you’ve perfected a task, and can do it almost without thinking. 46 you extra mental bandwidth to think about or do other things while you’re doing the task. In this sense, Trubek likens handwriting to 47 .“Once you have driven for a while, you don’t 48 think ‘Step on gas now’ (or) ‘Tu rn the steering wheel a bit’,”she explains. “Y ou just do it. That’s what we want children to 49 when learning to write. You and I don’t think‘now make a loop going up for the ‘I’or ‘now look for the letter ‘r’on the keyboard’.” Trubek has written many essays and books on handwriting, and she doesn’t believe it will die out for a very long time, “i f ever”. But she believes students are learning automaticity faster with keyboards than with handwriting: students are learning how to type without looking at the keys at 50 ages, and to type faster than they could write, granting them extra time to think about word choice or sentence structure. In a piece penned (if you’l l pardon the expression) for the New York Times last year, Trubek argued that due to the improved automaticity of keyboards, today’s children may well become better communicators in text as 51 takes up less of their education. This is a(n) 52 that has attracted both criticism and support.She explains that two of the most common arguments she hears from detractors regarding the decline of handwriting is that not 53 it will result in a “loss of hist ory” and a “loss of personal touch”.On the former she 54 that 95% of handwritten manuscripts can’t be read by the average person anyway “that’s why we have paleographers,”she explains, paleography being the study of ancient styles of writing while the latter refers to the warm 55 we give to handwritten personal notes, such as thank-you cards.

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.AAll I had to do for the two dollars was clean her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house, too, with a plastic-covered sofa and chairs, wall-to-wall blue-and-white carpeting, a white enamel stove, a washing machine and a dryer things that were common in her neighborhood, absent in mine. In the middle of the war, she had butter, sugar, steaks, and seam-up-the-back stockings.I knew how to scrub floors on my knees and how to wash clothes in our zinc tub, but I had never seena Hoover vacuum cleaner or an iron that wasn’t heated by fire.Part of my pride in working for her was earning money I could squander (浪费): on movies, candy, paddleball, jacks, ice-cream cones. But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant that some of my earnings were used for real things an insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was profound. I was not like the children in folktales: burdensome mouths to feed, nuisances to be corrected, problems so severe that they were abandoned to the forest. I had a status that doing routine chores in my house did not provide and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmations that I was adultlike, not childlike.In those days, the forties, children were not just loved or liked; they were needed. They could earn money; they could care for children younger than themselves; they could work the farm, take care of the herd, run errands (差事), and much more. I suspect that children aren’t needed in that way now. They are loved, doted on, protected, and helped. Fine, and yet…Little by little, I got better at cleaning her house good enough to be given more to do, much more. I was ordered to carry bookcases upstairs and, once, to move a piano from one side of a room to the other. I fell carrying the bookcases. And after pushing the piano my arms and legs hurt so badly. I wanted to refuse, or at least to complain, but I was afraid she would fire me, and I would lose the freedom the dollar gave me, as well as the standing I had at home although both were slowly being eroded. She began to offer me her clothes, for a price. Impressed by these worn things, which looked simply gorgeous to a little girl who had only two dresses to wear to school, I bought a few. Until my mother asked me if I really wanted to work for castoffs. So I learn ed to say “No, thank you” to a faded sweater offered for a quarter of a week’s pay.Still, I had trouble summoning (鼓起) the courage to discuss or object to the increasing demands she made. And I knew that if I told my mother how unhappy I was she would tell me to quit. Then one day, alone in the kitchen with my father, I let drop a few whines about the job. I gave him details, examples of what troubled me, yet although he listened intently, I saw no sympathy in his eyes. No “Oh, you poor little thing.” Perhaps he understood that what I wanted was a solution to the job, not an escape from it. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, “Listen. You don’t live there. You live here. With your people. Go to work. Get your money. And come on home.”That was what he said. This was what I heard:Whatever the work is, do it well not for the boss but for yourself.You make the job: it doesn’t make you.Your real life is with us, your family.You are not the work you do: you are the person you are.I have worked for all sorts of people since then, geniuses and morons, quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I’ve had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father I have never considered the level of labor to be the measure of myself, and I have never placed the security of a job above the value of home.56. What is the “pleasure” o f the author from the sentence “The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was profound. (par agraph 3)”?A. She was proud as she could earn money for her mother.B. Her own value of being needed.C. She is distinctive from those children in folktales.D. She enjoyed a status of being an adult in her family.57. According to the article, which of the following is true about children in the 1940s and now?A. Children become needed, loved and liked when they are at forty.B. Children in modern times are less likely to be spoiled by parents.C. Children in 1940s are capable as they can handle various daily routine.D. Children in modern times aren’t needed to do daily works any more.58. What did the author’s father make her understand?A. Don’t escape from difficulties at work.B. Whatever decision she made, her father would support her.C. Convey her dissatisfaction with her work.D. Make a distinction between work and life.59. Which of the following corresponds to the author’s views in the passage?A. Don’t regard work achievement as a criterion for evaluating oneself.B. Hard work is a struggle for a better future in your limited life.C. Parents are the best teachers of children.D. Job security is less valuable when compared with family.BGeographers are interested in the spatial patterns observed on earth. Bridging the natural and social sciences, Geography is the interdisciplinary study of environments and how people interact with the environment. It is important to study geog raphy because many of the world’s problems require understanding the interdependence between human activities and the environment. Geography is therefore a beneficial major for students because its theories and methods provide them with analytical skills relevant to occupations focused on solving social and environmental problems. The Department of Geography offers eight majors that help students tailor their focus of study.The Geography-globalization and Development major will provide students with a sophisticated understanding of contemporary global issues and a geographical framework for analyzing key issues involved in national and international development. Reflecting the discipline of geography as a whole, this major emphasizes an integrated approach to studying the relationship of global change to individual and community well-being by combining the benefits of area studies with theoretical and topical investigations in the curriculum.Our department is committed to excellence in both teaching and advising. Several of our faculty members have received teaching awards, and we are known across campus for the quality of our advising. As a geography major, you will meet one-on-one with your faculty advisor every semester during advising week, and you are always welcome to talk with your advisor at any time throughout the semester whenever questions may arise. In addition to advising our students about their academic programs, weprovide timely information about internships, nationally competitive awards, and other opportunities as they arise. Many of our students complete internships and several of our students over the last few years have received nationally competitive awards.For more information about our program, please visit our website, or contact our Undergraduate Chair, whose information is listed above.Admissions InformationFreshmen/First-year AdmissionNo requirements beyond University admission requirements.Change of Program PolicyNo selective or limited admission requirements.External Transfer AdmissionNo requirements beyond University admission requirements.Opportunities Upon GraduationWith a liberal arts degree in Geography globalization and Development, students are prepared for employment in a variety of fields, including non-profit and government work, particularly in the areas of community and international development.

Credit: NASA Earth Observatory images by Joshua Stevens, using Suomi NPP VIIRS data from Miguel Roman, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Artificial light is often seen as a sign of progress: the march of civilization shines a light in the dark; it takes back the night; it illuminates. But a chorus of scientists and advocates argues that unnaturally bright nights are bad not just for astronomers but also for nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals and even for human health.Now research shows the night is getting even brighter. From 2012 to 2016 the earth’s artificially lit area expanded by an estimated 2.2 percent a year (map), according to a study published last November in Science Advances. Even that increase may understate the problem, however. The measurement excludeslight from most of the energy-efficient LED lamps that have been replacing sodium-vapor technology in cities all over the world, says lead study author Christopher Kyba, a postdoctoral researcher at the German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam.The new data came from a NASA satellite instrument called the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). It can measure long-wavelengths of light, such as those produced by traditional yellow-and-orange sodium-vapor street lamps. But VIRS cannot see the short-wavelength blue light produced by white LEDs. This light has been shown to disrupt human sleep cycles and nocturnal animals’behavior.Credit: Mapping Specialists: Source: “Artificially Lit Surface of Earth at Night Increasing in Radiance and Extent.” by Christopher C. M. Kyba et al. in Science Advances, V ol. 3. No 11, Article No, El701528; November 22, 2017.The team believes the ongoing switch to LEDs caused already bright countries such as Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the U. S. to register as having stable levels of illumination in the VIIRS data. In contrast, most nations in South America, Africa and Asia brightened, suggesting increases in the use of traditional lighting. Australia actually appeared to lose lit area but the researchers say that is because wildfires skewed the data.“The fact that VIIRS finds an increase (in many countries), despite its blindness in the part of the spectrum that increased more, is very sad,”says Fabiofalchi, a researcher at I taly’s Light Pollution Science and Technology Institute, who did not participate in the study. In 2016 Falchi, along with Kyba and several other members of his research team, published a global atlas of artificial lighting that showed one third of the world’s population currently lives under skies too bright to see the Milky Way at night.The data also cast doubt on the idea that the LED lighting revolution will lead to energy cost savings. Between 2012 and 2016 the median nation pumped out 15 percent more long-wavelength light as its GDP increased by 13 p ercent. And overall, countries’ total light production correlated with their GDP. In other words, Kyba says, “we buy as much light as we are willing to spend money on.”63. Which is not true about the spread of lit areas?A. Lit area expanded by an estimated 2.2 percent a year.B. Artificial light is often seen as a sign of progress.C. The increase in GDP is due to the increase in light.D. It is bad for nocturnal animals and even for human health.64. Which of the following about VIIRS is NOT true according to the passage?A. It is a kind of NASA satellite device.B. It can record and analyze long-wavelength light.C. The blue light generated by white LEDs can disrupt human sleep cycles.D. VIIRS has found an increase of traditional lighting in lots of nations.65. According to the article, what we can know about the LEDs?A. Artificial LED lights at nights are harmful to people’s health.B. It is a sign of civilization in modern society.C. The blue l ight disrupts human and animals’ life cycles.D. Artificially lit surface of Earth increasing because of LEDs.66. The author writes this article to .A. show the VIIRS data from NASAB. demonstrate the significance of VIIRS for its measurement of wavelengthsC. reveal the relationship between wavelength light and GDPD. arouse people’s awareness of light pollutionSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Eachfirst community,” said Adam Ear nhardt, chairman of the communications department at Youngstown State University and co-author of “Sports Fans, Identity and Socialization: Exploring the Fandemonium.”“I don’t care if a Seattle fan moves to China, he or she carries with them their love for the sports teams,” he said. “67 ”68 And when a team begins to catch fire, as with, say, the Mariners in ’95 or the Seahawks of recent vintage, well, it’s easy to get swept up in the wave.“It’s phenomenal,” sai d Simons. “We have this ability to understand other people so remarkably that their victories literally become ours. Our testosterone (睾酮) literally responds to their victory. 69 They’re us, and competing on a literal level as us a little extension of us.”Professor Robert Cialdini at Arizona State University came up with the term BIRG Basking In Reflected Glory to describe the intense pride fans feel when their teams succeed. It can be used as a verb, as in, “Seahawks fans are currently BIRGING up a storm.” The counterpoint, as coined by researchers C. R. Snyder, Mary Anne Lassergard and Carol E, Ford, is the concept of CORFing Cutting Off Reflected Failure. 70 We’ve all heard it in action: We won, but they lost.This leads into another concept, that of cognitive bias, also known as confirmation bias, which causes fans to help explain away defeats by blaming outside factors, such as referees. I’m sure it would also help explain why Seahawks fans rallied around Richard Sherman after his postgame interview, rationalizing behavior that was widely criticized by many fans with no vested interest. It could also explain the notion of “eustress”, invented by endocrinologist Hans Selye to refer to a combination of euphoria (极度愉快的心情) and stress, such as that resulting from watching te nse sporting events. Indeed, it’s much of the appeal.参考答案III. Reading Comprehension (共45分。

风水好楼的挑选要诀|标签：风水挑选现代家居关于房子的风水中，风水好楼的挑选不仅关系到个人的起居生活，还影响整个家庭的厉害关系，风水好楼的挑选要诀是什么？在购房时大家都想挑选一套风水好楼居住却往往不知怎样挑选风水好楼，下面归纳几点，教你风水好楼的挑选要诀的要点，
1、一看周边环境。楼房风水的好坏，首先要这栋楼房周围的环境情况，前后左右的道路、河流和人工建筑物的情况，对整栋楼房的风水休戚相关。首先是看河流和道路，如果有河流和道路弯环抱着楼房为吉，如果有河流或道路的弯弓顶向着楼房，是反弓水不吉，道路或河流笔直地冲来是为箭煞 2、其次风水好楼的挑选要诀需看地形地势，楼房不宜建在孤山顶上，不宜建在水体上，不要建在山脉的脊线上和水体上。不能建在悬崖峭壁的下面等。 3、再次风水好楼的挑选要诀还应看建筑物或山体，后面有高的建筑物做后托为吉，后面低矮不吉，前方逼压不吉，前方开旷、景色秀美吉；左边的建筑物高于右边一般为吉，右边的建筑物比左边的高，特别是有奇形怪状的建筑物一般不吉。 4、最后，风水好楼的挑选要诀还需注意了解房子的立向方位，不同的方位对人的影响不同，例如东北方开阔，能有一条小河经东方、东南方、南方弯环抱来，最后流倒西北方向出去，水出的位置关锁非常好。周围的山或建筑物也符合后高前低，左高右低的要求，南方又比较开阔，这水问题卧室是休息的地方，如果卧室的风水不好，不仅影响人的睡眠质量，还会影响人的感情运、健康运，甚至是财运。卧室需要注意哪些风水问题呢？什么样的卧室才适合人居住？ 阳宅风水 1、床上用品不宜过红 如果是新婚夫妻，才适合用红色的床上用品。如果不是处于新婚的人用大红色的床上用品，居住长久的话人的脾气容易暴躁，做事情也容易冲动，往往欠于考虑，状况频出。2、床大小要事宜 床不宜过大，也不宜过小。床太小，睡不舒服，会影响睡眠，同时人际关系容易紧张；床过大，特别是单身的人睡双人床，容易遇到鬼压床等事情发生。3、不宜在卧室摆放假花 假花可以装饰环境，又不用花精力去打理。不过卧室里摆放假花，容易遇到虚情假意的人，别人靠近往往动机不纯。4、镜子不能照床 镜子照床，不仅会有烂桃花，还会影响感情运。平常睡眠会多梦，半夜起床往往会被自己吓到，睡眠不够安稳，导致休息会不好。5、门不能冲床 门冲床，就是打开门，直线范围内对着床。如果门冲床，会影响人的健康，同时也会使人睡不安稳，容易浅眠。6、卧室不宜太亮 卧室是睡觉的地方，如果卧室光线太亮，人容易醒过来，导致睡眠不足，精力不够旺盛，没有充足的精力处理事情，导致处事能力降低。甚至住在光线亮的房间里，脾气容易暴躁。 卧室家具摆放风水4大禁忌|标签：风水 【导读】家中的卧室是温馨的港湾，它给了疲惫的人们一个休憩的港湾，摄气养神，均在于此。自古以来，中国人就很注重家居布局，认为卧室家具摆放必须遵循风水禁忌，若有违背会直接影响到人的健康和运气。那么，卧室家具摆放需要注意什么呢?卧室家具摆放有什么禁忌?卧室家具如何摆放 床 枕头 书柜 化妆台 桌子 架子 衣柜 衣箱 1、一、卧室家具摆放风水 床是卧室家具的核心，卧室床的摆放决定了卧室风水的好坏。床位最好的选择南北朝向，顺和地磁引力。头若朝西，血液经常向头顶直冲、睡眠较不安稳;如果头朝东睡，就会有一种安宁的感觉。床头不能靠门，如果迁就卧室有限的空间，而把床位放在大门口侧，就犯了卧室的大忌。对于床 2、二、桌子与架子的摆放 主人房内放置桌子和架子是最平常不过了，桌子可用来吃东西或书写，架子可用来放置物件。但是，由于很多楼房的实用面积较小，要尽量利用每一寸空间，就需花费很大的心思，而且空间不会迁就家具，只有利用家具的摆设来迁就空间，所以很可能在主人房中出现不符合风水原则的桌子及 3、 三、衣柜、衣箱的摆放 主人房内空间有限，衣柜、衣箱摆在主人房内会造成活动不便，不适宜。在家相学上，认为在主人房内放衣柜、衣箱会影响起居，这种情况是不智的做法。为了有效利用空间，放置的地方要尽可能将衣柜、化妆台等排成一列。 4、四、卧室家具摆放风水之梳妆镜 梳妆镜的摆放一定要记住一个前提，就是镜子不要对着床，因为人在半梦半醒之间，夜半起床容易被镜中影像所惊吓，精神不安宁。在风水学上，镜子是主要用来照煞的。所谓的照煞是指悬挂镜子使它对直冲而来的不好之气反射回去，因此也不要正对吉利的方位。
