The Catholic priest took $ 15,000 in cash to Los Angeles’ Skid Row (贫民区) and gave it away. Twenty wheelchair –bound people received $100 bills, while the rest received $1to $ 3 each．“I come out here to tell them that God loves them and I love them and that some one is concerned about them,” Chase said．Chase has given away cash and blessings every Sunday at the same corner for 24 years．Several hundred people wait for him every week．He makes a point of coming on Thanksgiving and Christmas, too, but this is the first year he spent his birthday in the downtown neighborhood where people live mainly in shelters and on dirty sidewalks．“ It’s the place that makes me the happiest．I just love it,” said Chase. “I look forward to coming here.”The money comes from donations he receives from rich and famous people he met during his work as assistant to the president of Loyola Marymount University．The crowd broke into choruses of “Happy Birthday” several times. Some people presented him birthday cards, to his delight．Travis Kemp, a 51 – year – old disabled man with long black hair, was one of the lucky 20 to receive $ 100. He said he had no special plans for spending the money. “He has a lot of respect from me,” Kemp said. “I know I couldn’t do it.”56．On his 90 th birthday, Chase ．A．handed out cash to the needyB．collected money for poor peopleC．visited poor people’s homes with giftsD．held a party at Los Angeles’ Skid Row57．Which of the following makes Chase feel the happiest?A．Celebrating his birthday with his neighbours．B．Working in Loyola Marymount University．C．Celebrating Christmas with the people he has helped．D．Going to Los Angeles’ Skid Row to help people there．58．What’s the source of the money Chase used to help people?A．All his savings．B．His earnings as a Catholic priest．C．Donations from the wealthy and celebrities．D．Donations from Loyola Marymount University．59．Travis Kemp is mentioned in the text to show ．A．he was the luckiest person on that dayB．the disabled need to be taken care ofC．Chase is greatly appreciated by the needyD．even old people came to celebrate Chase’s birthdayA．Every recipient could get $100 in cash from Father Maurice Chase．B．Father Maurice Chase gave the cash away not only on his birthday but also on other occasions．C．Although Father Maurice Chase gave the cash away on his birthday, he didn’t receive anything in return．D．Father Maurice Chase earned a lot of money as assistant to the president of Loyola Marymount University．BResearch by Scotland Yard published in a London newspaper, has proven that knife crime in London is a serious non – white phenomenon, with 165 of the 225 under- 18s accused of knife crime in the past three months being from the black or other non – white groups．According to Scotland Yard, only 60 of the 225 crimes were white．Despite being a small minority of the knife holding criminals, whites did, however, make up the single largest group of victims of knife crime．According to the Scotland Yard report, whites made up 222 of the 637 victims of knife crime over the last three months．This number could probably be higher, as 292 victims were not identified by race．This month Scotland Yard Deputy Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson suggested knife crime has replaced drug selling as the top concern for London police．Sir Paul said so as he announced a specialist knife crime unit to deal with teenagers carrying knives in the capital．It will use a team of 75 specialist officers to find criminal group members and their supporters．Detective Inspector, George Rhoden, president of the National Organisation of Black Law Enforcement Executives said, “In the black community we have all noticed that there is major concern about gun and knife crime．Clearly we are not the only part of the community affected bythe problem of children who have no fathers, but parental responsibility should be of major concern.”Around 59 percent of black Caribbean children and 54 percent of mixed – race youngsters are looked after by a parent．In the white British population, the number is 22 percent．61．From the above, we can see that in knife crimes in London．A．there are more whites than Asians as victimsB．there are more blacks than whites as victimsC．Asians make up the smallest group of criminalsD．blacks make up the second largest group of criminals62．What Sir Paul Stephenson said suggests that ．A．drug selling has replaced knife crime as the top concern for London policeB．drug selling had been the top concern for London police in the pastC．knife crime used to be the top concern for London policeD．London police now pay no attention to drug selling 63．Whatmeasurehasthegovernmenttakentodealwiththeproblemofknifecrime?A．Punishing the parents of teenagers carrying knives．B．Arresting the teenagers carrying knives．C．Forming a specialist knife crime unit．D．Fining the teenagers carrying knives．64．According to George Rhoden, which of the following factors contributes to so many young blacks turning to crime?A．That they are poorly educated．B．That they are influenced by their fathers．C．That many of them come from incomplete families．D．That their parents are too busy to take care of them．65．Whichofthefollowingwordscanbeusedtofillintheblankinthelastparagraphy?A．lone B．loving C．busy D．lazyCSaya, the teacher doesn’t mind being pinched(掐), or if the students play in class: she’s a robot designed to show children that science and technology can be fun subjects．Saya, a life – like female who started her career as a robot receptionist at Japanese companies and was then reprogrammed to teach, gave a lesson to fifth –graders at Tokyo’s Kudan Elementary School after being carried to the podium in the classroom．Professor Hiroshi Kobayashi, who built Saya, says she’s not meant to replace human teachers, but to bring the joy of technology to children. “We’re not looking at making something that will take over from teachers. Our main reason for building this robot is to use new technology to teach children about technology,”he said. “But Saya may be able to help in schools where there’s a shortage of teachers,”he added. “In the countryside and in some small schools, children don’t have the chance to come into contact with new technology and also few teachers there can teach these lessons．So we hoped to be able to develop this robot to be remotely controlled to teach these classes.”Many of the children were attracted by Saya, and didn’t take their eyes off her throughout the lecture. When class was over, some students pinched her. “ It’s so much more fun than regular classes,” said10 – year – old Nanako Iijima．The children’s human teacher, however, was not as impressed with the robot as her students. “I am impressed that they’ve got robots to go this far, but on the other hand they still have a long way to go before they can make it a truly robotic teacher.” Akito Fukuda, the school’s science teacher said．Japan, home to almost half of the world’s 800,000 industrial robots, expects the industry to expand to $10 billion in the future including models that will be able to care for its fast – growing elderly population．66．Saya was first designed to ．A．be touched by students B．teach children about scienceC．work as a robot receptionist D．work together with scientists67．The underlined word “podium” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.A．a surface for teachers to stand on B．a board for teachers to write onC．a toy for students to play with D．a video for students to watch68．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A．Saya needn’t be remotely controlled while having classes.B．Robots like Saya will replace human teachers in the future.C．Some children in the countryside know little about new technology.D．It’s difficult for most Japanese teachers to teach children about technology.69．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Saya is the first life – like female robot in history.C．Some children in the countryside know little about new technology.70．In which section of a newspaper can you find this passage?A．Entertainment. B．Technology. C．Politics. D．Opinion.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A（10 marks）Directions: Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．The art of growing dwarf (short) trees, or “bonsai”as their Japanese planters call them, is increasing in popularity in the United States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them. However，how can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art？This maybe is the problem for many of us.There are，in fact，four important guidelines to follow in growing bonsai. First, one must be careful in choosing the type of tree. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai, since the growing cond itions are unusual.Second，one must be careful in choosing the size of the container the bonsai will be in. This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined to the tree’s trunk and leaves，not its root system.Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim （修整）the roots and branches of the tree periodically（定期地）. Unless this is done，the plants will look unnatural. The Japanese ideal for bonsai is not to have the proper proportions and will have trees which are just like normal trees in everything，but in small size.The last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the miniature（small）tree well-watered，or it will die.As one can see from above，the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings c an be great，however. Imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about：establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.Enough water It keeps the plants 79.Bonsai – growing establishes a tradition of natural 80.beauty.Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.The Fourth of July marks the anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence from Britain. During the summer of 1776, American colonists were deeply divided. Almost one in three was loyal to Britain. Yet most were increasingly angry about what they considered unfair treatment by the British government. By June, fighting had already taken place between colonial forces and Britain. The idea of independence was spreading.Delegates from the 13 colonies gath ered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Continental Congress decided that a document declaring separation from Britain should be declared. Thomas Jefferson led a committee chosen to write it.On July fourth, 1776, the Continental Congress voted to approve the Declaration of Independence. It says that people have the right to change their government if it denies them their rights. It states that everyone has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.Today, the Fourth of July is a time for friends and families to gather. They might play sports and eat hot dogs, hamburgers and other foods cooked outdoors. They might watch a parade in their community. At night, many people gather to watch fireworks bursting in the sky.In Washington, D.C. this year, thousands of people will attend a concert with performances by musicians including Reba McIntire, Darius Rucker and Gladys Knight. There will also be a huge fireworks show with more than 2,500 shells exploding over the National Mall.Another event that traditionally takes place on the National Mall this weekend is the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. This year's event celebrates the cultures of Mexico and Asian Pacific Americans. Visitors can hear the music, eat the food and learn about the many traditions of these cultures.The third subject of the festival is called "Smithsonian Inside Out." Smithsonian experts will have a chance to present their research and knowledge to the public.81．Why was the idea of independence spreading before July 4,1776?

Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning.Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit.Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity.We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies?4．What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A．There are different types of education.B．The present education needs improvements.C．Education and economy are closely associated.D．The goal of future education is fundamentally different.5．What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to?A．It accepts students of all ages.B．It promotes competition.C．It discourages individualized learning.D．It is all about play-based learning. 6．What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Tough.B．Satisfactory.C．Optional.D．Required. 7．What is the suitable title for the text?A．An Example to All B．A Vision for EducationC．A Challenge for Education D．A Journey into the FutureAny schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two.Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间).Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits.The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.8．What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs?A．They are adapted ones.B．They are developed merely for smell.C．They are not easy to detect.D．They are fixed universally in numbers. 9．What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton?A．The teeth that baleen whales have.B．The smell that phytoplankton send.C．The sound waves that zooplankton create.D．The chemical signals that zooplankton give off.10．How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4?A．By quoting a theory.B．By using examples.C．By making contrast.D．By making inferences.11．What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph?A．The sense of smell.B．The possibility to attract food.C．The ability to locate food.D．The ability to communicate.Is forgiveness against our human nature? To answer our question, we need to ask a further question: What is the essence of our humanity? For the sake of simplicity, people consider two distinctly different views of humanity.The first view involves dominance and power. In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll (1984) made the interesting claim that humans’ essential nature is moreaggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them.The second view involves the theme of cooperation, mutual respect, and even love as the basis of who we are as humans. Researchers find that to fully grow as human beings, we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. Without love, our connections with a wide range of individuals in our lives can fall apart. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. For example, how well has slavery worked as a mode of social harmony?From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hate and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged (不和的) accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people.As an important note, when we take a classical philosophical perspective, we see the distinction between potentiality and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the capacity to forgive, but instead with the potential to learn about it and to grow in our ability to forgive. The actuality of forgiving, in real situations, develops with practice.12．What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness?A．People should offer mercy to others.B．Aggressive people should learn to forgive.C．Forgiveness depends on the nature of humanity.D．People who forgive can have their own welfare affected.13．What does the example in Paragraph 3 illustrate?A．To fight is to grow.B．To give is to receive.C．To forgive is to abuse.D．To dominate is to harm.14．What is the writer’s attitude toward forgiveness?A．Favorable.B．Reserved.C．Objective.D．Skeptical. 15．What message does the last paragraph convey?A．Forgiveness is in our nature.B．Forgiveness grows with time.C．It takes practice to forgive.D．Actuality is based on potentiality.It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news. Like, would you rather bite into a lemon, or sip on a fresh glass of lemonade?16 The world is full of problems and conflicts and we need to stay informed and alert (警觉的) to what’s going on around us. While reading traditional, more negative news is important, consuming good news is also part of staying informed. 17 And it also brings meaningful benefits, like reduced stress and anxiety, higher rates of engagement, community building skills, and inspiration for creating a better world. Plus, knowing what to look for in the good news landscape is a key part of improving our media literacy skills and being thoughtful news consumers.In fact, good news, known as solutions journalism, is becoming more popular, as publishers and news stations discover the benefits of sharing positive stories. Good Good Good is one of them. 18 A team of reporters and editors there work daily to deliver stories that make readers feel hopeful and equipped to do more good with possible solutions.“If it bleeds, it leads.” has long been a saying used in the media to describe how news stories about violence, death and destruction draw readers’ attention.19 The thing is, however, there’s also good stuff out there—the delightful and kind parts of humanity. “Beautiful stories are happening worldwide. 20 When you do find them, the world can suddenly feel like a very different place.

The scientist believes the criminal was deadly radiation caused by the collision of two stars.Arnon Dar, a physicist at Technion University, says stars collide every day somewhere in the universe. Those collisions produce radiation-gamma and cosmic rays----with the potential to destroy the protective layers of Earth’s atmosphere and kill most animal and plant life.Usually, the collisions are too distant to do any damage to life on earth. But once every 100 million years or so, stars collide relatively close to Earth. A nearby collision could have emitted enough gamma and cosmic rays to kill the dinosaurs, the scientist says. Star collisions could also have been the cause of the five other mass extinctions that have happened on Earth, he adds. The most severe die-off, which killed 95 percent of all life, happened about 225 million years ago.To support his idea, the scientist is now looking through layers of ancient rock for mineral that show evidence of being bombarded by cosmic radiation 65 million years ago.71. The passage mainly deals with_______.a.the collision of stars in spaceb.the function of cosmic radiationc.the protection of the earth’s atmosphered.the cause of the mass extinction of dinosaurs72. Collisions of stars take place in the universe_______.a. occasionallyb. dailyc. rarelyd. readily73. The radiation produced by star collisions tends to__________.a.burn out nearby planetsb.change the structure of the universec.destroy the atmosphere on nearby planetsd.kill everything in the universe74. It seems that the earth may face the danger of mass extinction_________.a.every 65 million yearsb.every 100 million yearsc.once in a billion yearsd.once in 225 million years75.The Israeli scientist is now studying layers of ancient rock ______.a.to look for evidence of star collisionsb.to search for minerals of valuable metalsc.to work out the structure of the earth’s crustd.to find the remains of dinosaursB.Professor Reason recently persuaded 35 people to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for two weeks. When he came to analyse their embarrassing errors, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups.One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog her ear-rings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. “People programme themse lves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman’s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her ear-rings. But somehow the action got reversed(颠倒) in the programme.” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “programme assembly failures.”Twenty per cent of all errors were “test failures”----primarily due to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept, put them on---- much to his surprise. A woman victim reported: “I got into the bath with my socks on.”The commonest problem was info rmation “storage failures”,. People forgot the names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it.The research so far suggests that while the “central processor” of the brain is liberated from second-to second control of a well-practised routine, it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as intended. Otherwisethe activity may be “captured” by another frequently and recently used programme, resulting in embarrassing errors.76. The purpose of Professor Reason’s research is___________.a.to show the difference between men and women in their reasoningb.to classify and explain some errors in human actionsc.to find the causes which lead to computer failuresd.to compare computer functions with brain workings77. Which of the following might be grouped under “programme assembly failures”?a. A woman went into a shop and forgot what to buy.b. A man returning home after work left his key in the lock.c. A lady fell as she was concentrating on each step her feet were taking.d.An old man, with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks.78. The word “ verifying” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.a. improvingb. changingc. checkingd. stopping79. According to the passage, the information” storage failures” refer to ______.a.the destruction of information collecting systemb.the elimination of one’s total memoryc.the temporary loss of part of one’s mem oryd.the separation of one’s action from consciousnessC.Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious effort (自觉的努力), then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found out that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.We always seem to find something funny and amusing in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absentminded professors have been told for years, and we never get tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not alw ays funny. There are times when “tricks” of our memory can cause us great trouble.80. If you want to have a good memory, _______.a.you should force yourself to remember thingsb.you should make a conscious effort of practice and exercisec.you should never stop learningd.you should try hard to remember things81. which of the statements is true to the passage?a.One night the writer forgot to lock the front door.b.One night the writer forgot having locked the front door.c.The wrier remembered to lock the door.d.The writer remembered unlocking the front door.82. From the sentence “We never get tired of hearing new ones.” We can infer that _________.a.we enjoy hearing new stories about absentmindednessb.we don’t want to know anything more about absent-mindednessc.we will never get tired of listening to new stories about absent-mindednessd.Absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to many other people83. In this passage the writer means to tell you _______.a.forgetting things is serious and dangerousb.always forgetting things is understandablec.forgetting things at times is naturald.the ways to protect yourself from memory “tricks”D.By the late nineteenth century, the focus for the engineers and builders of tunnels was beginning to shift from Europe to the United States and especially New York, where the rivers encircling Manhattan captured the imagination of tunnelers and challenged their ingenuity. The first to accept the challenge was a somewhat mysterious Californian named DeWitt Clinton Haskin, who turned up in New York in the 1870’s with a proposal to tunnel through the silt (淤泥)under the Hudson River between Manhattan and Jersey City.Haskin eventually abandoned (放弃)the risky project. But a company organized by William McAdoo resumed the attack in 1902, working from both directions. McAdoo’s men were forced to blast when they ran into an unexpected ledge of rock, but with this obstacle surmounted(克服), the two headings met in 1904 and McAdoo donned oilskins (穿上油布衣裤) to become the Hudson’s first underwater bank-to-bank pedestrian. World’s Work magazines proudly reported in 1906 that New York could now be described as “ a body of land surrounded by tunnels”. Three one-way shafts beneath the Hudson and two under the Harlem River were already holed through; three more Hudson tubes were being built. Eight separate tunnels were under construction beneath the East River.84. What does the author imply about DeWitt Clinton Haskin’s background?a.It did not qualify him to handle explosives.b.It was not something people knew much about.c.It included diverse work experiences.d.It included many inferior projects.85.Where in the passage does the author refer to the first person to walk beneath the Hudson River?a.

Tian Tian, however, thought it useless for many reasons. First of all, she was sometimes absent minded inclass, and missed some important part of the teacher’s instruction. If she couldn’t focus her attention in class, neither could she after class. Second, she felt her ability to understand good enough when she paid attention to anything taught. If the tutor simply repeats what is taught during the day, she would be bored. Third, tuition would leave her busy with exercises. She, however was already too occupied with homework without any tuition. After a long talk, her parents were persuaded not to let her have any tuition ---- her problem was her working attitude.岁月如轮，也许还没有做好准备，就碾碎了绚烂多姿的梦想；流年似水，也许只是一个转身，就冲淡了深情相依的誓言。

They are lazy，and perhaps not too bright. So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kidswho quit school about why they left.“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could havegraduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 millionteens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）failing grades don t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again，John Bridgeland："The mostdependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren tinspired or motivated. They didn t see any direct connection between what they were learning inthe classroom to their own lives, or to their possible careers .”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happensto be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state，New Mexicohas a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states:California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendanceone way to keep more kids in school．“As these dropouts look back，they realize they ve made a mistake. And anything that sortof gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end is probably a helpfulmeasure.”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But criticssay that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point－the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to makeit morechallenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actuallymeans something.61.

To analyze the reasons why many students drop out of school.CHappiness and sadness are states of being that define the way we view the world. It is oftensaid that some people by nature have a sunny character. Now scientists may have discovered why.Some people may be born for happiness, while others are genetically negative, scientists havesuggested in a study published late February in a British journal.Earlier research had already established that the gene known as 5-HTTLPR plays a key rolein determining how the neurotransmitter (神经传递素) serotonin (含于血液中的复合胺) workswithin the brain. Serotonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙), passes chemical messages between nerve cells.It has been closely linked to mood. Several anti-depressant (抗抑郁) drugs regulate serotoninlevels. Scientists had also identified three variants (变体) of the gene. Two so-called "short"variants were linked to a higher risk of depression and suicide attempts. Unlike the two "short"variants, the "long" variant of 5-HTTLPR showed a clear dislike of negative images, such asfierce animals, and a clear liking for positive ones, such as flowers.Researchers from the University of Essex in Britain, led by Elaine Fox, showed participants aseries of images. The images were divided into three kinds: negative ones aimed at inspiring fearones. The participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene "showed a clear dislike ofnegative material alongside a careful attention for positive material," the researchers found. Theypaid close attention to the pretty pictures, and ignored the frightening ones. On the other hand, theshort variant groups had the opposite reaction.In January, the Australian government organized "happiness workshops", teaching government staff how to be happy. The department that held the "happiness workshops" saidunhappy staff weren't productive staff. Australian political opposition parties have argued that the"happiness workshops" are probably a waste of money and couldn't increase productivity asintended. However, whether the workshop will have a happy or disappointing result, we will haveto wait and see.66. For the passage,by what means can we view the world?A. Happiness and sadness.B. Happiness and curiosity.C. Sadness and amazement.D. Disappointment and sadness.67. What is most important in the role of deciding how the neurotransmitter serotonin workswithin the brain?A. The gene known as 5-HTTLPR.B. Three variants.C. Neurotransmitter serotonin .D. A hormone.68. Which of the following sentences is WRONG?A. Serotonin, a hormone within the brain., passes chemical messages between nerve cells,which has been closely linked to mood.B. Scientists identified the two "short" variants, and the "long" variant of 5-HTTLPR whichshowed a clear hatred of negative images, such as fierce animals.C. Scientists identified three variants of the gene. Two so-called "long" variants were linkedto a higher risk of depression and murder attempts.D. In terms of researchers research, the images were divided into three kinds: negative ones,pleasant ones and neutral ones.69. Why did the Australian government organize “Happiness workshops”?A. To enrich staff s free life.B. To teach staff the ways to be happy.C. To prove the result of the researchers research.D. To test who weren t productive staff.70. What is the result of setting up “Happiness workshops” according to the last paragraph?A. A waste of money.B. No effect on increasing productivity.C. A disappointing result .D. An uncertain result.PART FOUR WRITING (45 points)SECTION A (10 points)using the information for the passage.Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answerToday, February twenty-ninth, is leap day. This date only appears on the calendar once everyfour years. But why?Everyone knows the Earth takes three hundred sixty-five days to travel around the sun. Well,that is not exactly correct. The Earth really takes three hundred sixty-five days, five hours,The problem for people developing calendars was what to do with the extra five hours,forty-eight minutes and forty-six seconds.People needed calendars to help them know when to plant crops and when to celebratereligious holidays. The ancient Greeks and Chinese had a solution. They produced calendars thatincluded extra months every nineteen years.The ancient Romans had a different solution. In the year forty-six, the Roman ruler JuliusCaesar made a new calendar. The Julian calendar included an extra day every four years. But therewas a problem. The Julian year was just over eleven minutes longer than the cycle of the seasons.In fifteen eighty-two, Pope Gregory the Thirteenth established a new calendar to keep a betterrecorder of the days. Pole Gregory was the religious leader of most of Europe. He decided thatyears that could be divided by four would add a day. However, years that ended in two zeros andthat could not be evenly divided by four hundred would not be leap years. For example, the yearsseventeen hundred, eighteen hundred and nineteen hundred were not leap years. But the yearssixteen hundred and two thousand were leap yearsSo leap years are years with three hundred sixty-six days, instead of the usual three hundredleap day. People born on leap day may be called “leaplings.” They usually celebrate their birthdayon February twenty-eight or March first.SECTION B (10 points)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information givenin the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a box by his feet. He held up a sign which read,“I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the box. The boy felt sad.A man walked by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the box. Thenhe took the sign, turned it around and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyonewho walked by would see the new words.Soon the box was full. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boyrecognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? Whatdid you write?”That man said , “I only wrote the truth . I said what you said but in a different way.” What he hadwritten was, “today is a beautiful day and I can not see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course, butthe second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.Great men say, “In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have theticket of a good conscience（良心）.”It s a beautiful thing to see a people smiling! And it s even more beautiful to know that youare the reason of a person s smiling!81. Why did the blind boy feel sad?

江苏省连云港高级中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题
江苏省连云港高级中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Each year, Boston University proudly celebrates the very best in academics, innovation, and teaching through the awarding of University-wide honors and in our support of applicants for prestigious (赫赫有名的) national scholarships. The following showcases the growing list of opportunities and resources Boston University provides.Harold C．Case scholarshipThe Harold C．Case scholarship is offered to outstanding Boston University juniors for support of their senior year. Case scholarships recognize scholarly accomplishment and potential as well as extracurricular activities that contribute to the university.Scholarship recipients receive between $1.000 and full tuition depending on financial needs. Funds can only be applied to undergraduate study. In most application cycles 10- 12 recipients are selected.Dean Elsbeth Melville scholarshipThe Dean Elsbeth Melville scholarship was established in 1978 by the Trustees of Boston University to honor Dean Melville’s “splendid and varied contribution” to the education and lives of women at Boston University. Only two scholarships are awarded each year to top-ranked women in the junior class who are representatives of the qualities stressed by Dean Melville.Scholarship recipients receive a minimum of $1,000 depending on financial need. Funds can only be applied to undergraduate study.Clare Boothe Luce scholar awardsThe Clare Boothe Luce program of the Henry Luce Foundation supports a limited number of Undergraduate Scholarships for women students in the fields of the physical and life sciences, mathematics, engineering, and computer science.Provost’s scholars awardThe Provost’s scholars awards celebrate the achievements of students who have demonstrated the spirit of a true scholar at a research university. Up to 20 awards are given annually, each carrying $1000 of funding for research creative activity expenses such astravel to conferences and archives (档案馆) or for research-related equipment and supplies. Awards are distributed through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). Winners are selected in the Spring Semester, and recognized at the Provost’s academic awards ceremony during Parents’ Weekend in October.1．Who does the Harold C．Case scholarship recognize?A．Top ranked women in senior years.B．Freshmen who explore the unknown.C．Juniors who are academically successful.D．Undergraduates active in extracurricular activities.2．Which is specifically for female students studying engineering?A．Provost’s scholars award.B．Harold C．Case scholarshipC．Clare Boothe Luce scholar awards.D．Dean Elsbeth Melville scholarship 3．What can Provost’s scholars award winners do with the funding?A．Buy research facilities.B．Pay tuition fees.C．Attend business conferences.D．Go on an adventure travelIn times of distress, a friend would always suggest going for a walk. “Are you overwhelmed by your work? Take a talk around the neighborhood.” Comments like this are often said with nothing but the best of intentions, but they used to make me angry as much as being told to drink more water. I did not understand how these things were going to help.Three years ago, I hit a low point. Once I saw a pair of empty eyes looking at me through the mirror, I knew I was at my breaking point. So, I took the advice I fought so hard to ignore. I went for a walk—with the hope that it would somehow change my life.I embraced the fresh air everyone seemed to be talking about. But it did nothing. I was just as sad as I was before. I went on a walk every single day for more than a month. Some days I could hardly make it outside, but I managed to push through. I took a picture every time I went. I think I wanted to document (记录) myself trying to make an effort.One day, the unthinkable happened. I found myself smiling. I realized I had patiently waited all morning to go on this walk. What I once hated had become the best part of my day.I found myself longing to be outside. I never had a destination in mind. I just danced along the trails, stopped to look at the beautiful blue skies and listened to music.I’m glad I took pictures because there was a noticeable difference in my face. I slowlystarted to look less tired and defeated. I don’t know why I refused to go on that walk for so long. I guess I didn’t want to believe that something small and seemingly meaningless could actually make an impact on my physical and mental well-being.If you’re having a bad day, a bad month, a bad year or even a bad life, you should try going for a walk. Sometimes, all we need to do is try.4．How did the author use to feel when people suggested she go for a walk?A．Pleased.B．Annoyed.C．Interested.D．Surprised. 5．Why did the author decide to go for a walk three years ago?A．Her friend encouraged her.B．She wanted to challenge herself.C．Her hopelessness drove her to try.D．She was eager to get close to nature.6．What happened after the author started to go for a walk?A．She felt cheered up after the first week.B．She always set off with a destination in mind.C．She stopped for a while due to lack of progress.D．She was inspired by the pictures she took of herself.7．What does the author advise us to do?A．Care about our mental well-being.B．Go for a walk when feeling down.C．Stay positive when bad things happen.D．Take other people’s suggestionsseriously.PFAS are found in nonstick pans, water-proof fabrics and food packaging. They’re called forever chemicals because of their ability to stick around and not break down. Now, using a bit of heat and two relatively common compounds, researchers have degraded (降解) the chemical in the lab.While some scientists have found relatively simple ways of breaking down select PFAS, most degradation methods require harsh processes using intense pressure — in some cases over 22 mega-pascals — or extremely high temperatures — sometimes upwards of 1,000℃ — to break the chemical bonds.William Dichtel, from Northwestern University in Evanston, and his team experimented with two substances found in nearly every chemistry lab; sodium hydroxide (氢氧化钠), alsoknown as lye, and a solvent (溶剂) called DMSO. The team worked specifically on a group of forever chemicals which contain a large percentage of PFAS.When the team combined chemicals with the lye and DMSO at 120℃ and with no extra pressure needed, the carbolic acid (羧酸) fell off the chemicals and became carbon dioxide. “What happened next was unexpected, ” Dichtel said. The loss of the acid helped degrade the chemicals into fluoride ions (氟离子) and smaller carbon-containing products, leaving behind no harmful by-products.“It’s a neat method; it’s different from others that have been tried,” says Chris Sales, an environmental engineer at Drexel University in Philadelphia who was not involved in the study. “The biggest question is how this could be adapted and scaled up. Understanding this mechanism is just one step in undoing forever chemicals,” Sales said.This process wouldn’t work to deal with PFAS in the environment, because it requires a concentrated amount of the chemicals, but it could one day be used in wastewater treatment plants, where the pollutants could be filtered out of the water, concentrated and then broken down.8．What can we learn about the previous ways to break down PFAS?A．They’re eco-friendly.B．They’ve been widely used.C．They’re difficult to operate.D．They’re regarded as useless.9．What did the team do in their experiment?A．They experimented with different solvents.B．They tried two very common substances.C．They tested every group of forever chemicals,D．They exposed chemicals to extreme temperatures.10．What made the researchers most surprised in their experiment?A．Environmentally-friendly reactions occurred.B．The carboxylic acid became carbon dioxide.C．No extra pressure was needed for the trial.D．The lye and DMSO could work at 120℃,11．What can we infer from Chris Sales’ words?A．It is difficult to deal with PFAS in the environment.B．This mechanism will soon be used in the environment.C．The method will be applied to different kinds of chemicals.D．More research is needed before the method is widely used.In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone solely based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately deceive us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality.Consequently, the question arises: Where, then, shall we get our information from if not from the media? Who can we trust? How about experts-people who devote their working lives to understanding their chosen slice of the world? However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that hampers (阻碍) our ability to grasp the intricacies (错综复杂) of the world.Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty. And it is easy to take off down a slippery slope, from one attention-grabbing simple idea to a feeling that this idea beautifully explains, or is the beautiful solution for, lots of other things. The world becomes simple that way.Yet, when we embrace a singular cause or solution for all problems, we risk oversimplifying complex issues. For instance, championing the concept of equality may lead us to view all problems through the lens of inequality and see resource distribution as the sole panacea. However, such rigidity prevents us from seeing the multidimensional nature of challenges and hinders true comprehension of reality. This “single perspective instinct” ultimately clouds our judgment and restricts our capacity to tackle complex issues effectively. Being always in favor of or always against any particular idea makes you blind to information that doesn’t fit your perspective. This is usually a bad approach if you would like to understand reality.Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world. If this means you don’t have time to form so may opinions, so what?Wouldn’t you rather have few opinions that are right than many that are wrong? 12．What does the underlined word “allure” in Para.2 probably mean?A．Temptation.B．Tradition.C．Convenience.D．Consequence.13．Why are simple ideas appealing according to the passage?A．They meet people’s demand for high efficiency.B．They generate a sense of complete understanding.C．They are raised and supported by multiple experts.D．They reflect the opinions of like-minded individuals.14．What will the author probably agree with?A．Simplifying matters releases energy for human brains.B．Constant tests on our ideas help make up for our weakness.C．A well-founded opinion counts more than many shallow ones.D．People who disagree with us often have comprehensive views.15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．Embracing Disagreement: Refusing OvercomplexityB．Simplifying Information: Enhancing ComprehensionC．Understanding Differences: Establishing RelationshipsD．Navigating Complexity: Challenging Oversimplification二、七选五“Beauty is only skin deep” it is said. This means that a person’s appearance is not as important as their character. Yet it is strange why people and especially women are willing toonly be one, and it is that beauty has its advantages.Attractive people are more popular generally. Beauty draws a positive response from the people around. This is obvious with children. For example, based on observation, there is a tendency for adults to treat good-looking children better. This favorable treatment continues into adulthood, as attractive people are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions and given more opportunities. 17Another important benefit that good-looking people enjoy is that they find a husband or wife more easily. 18 This initial attraction may then develop into romantic feelings and a serious relationship if the couple find that they are compatible (和睦相处的) with each other.On the other hand, beauty has a number of disadvantages as well. Firstly, a good-lookingperson tends to attract unwanted attention from all kinds of people. The admirer may have bad intentions and cause problems for the target. 19 It is thought that beauty and brains do not go together. Thus, attractive people may not gain respect even when they deserve it because of this prejudice against them.While every individual should take care of their outward appearance and look their best, they should not neglect (忽视) their inner beauty or character. 20 Also, they should not forget physical beauty is indeed, only skin deep and will not last.A．Life is not always easy for beautiful people.B．The skincare industry is a multi-billion dollar business.C．It turns out being conventionally beautiful has its benefits.D．It is a fact that people are first attracted to outward appearance.E．They should not place such importance on beauty that they become proud.F．Being well-treated gives attractive people more confidence and they perform better.G．Another problem faced by good-looking people is that they may not be taken seriously.三、完形填空Several years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and broke a basement window of my31 , this isn’t just about my window.

湖南省长沙市长郡中学2024-2025学年高三上学期月考试卷(一)英语试卷
湖南省长沙市长郡中学2024-2025学年高三上学期月考试卷（一）英语试卷一、阅读理解As Pakistan and China are marking 2023 as a Year of Tourism, Pakistan’s breathtaking natural beauty, diverse cultural heritage and historical landmarks are all set to catch the attentionof tourists.Balochistan: Nature’s Bounty UnveiledStretching across vast expanses, Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province, boasting not only abundant mineral resources but unique natural beauty. Its mountain ranges, mines and extensive coastal belt, which is home to the prosperous Gwadar Port, attract adventurers.Punjab: A Tapestry of History and HeritageIn the heart of Pakistan lies Punjab province, a land of green agricultural fields, intricate (交错的) river networks, ancient forts and charming Mughal-era gardens. Over two millennia (千年) ago, the Gandhara Buddhist civilization thrived in northern Pakistan, with Taxil a serving as its primary center of learning.Sindh: A Tapestry of History and CultureSindh, in Pakistan’s southern region, weaves together a tale of history and natural beauty. Itis home to the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro, a relic of the Indus Valley Civilization, along with the modern city of Karachi and its picturesque coastline.Northern Pakistan: Nature’s MasterpieceSpread over 72,496 square kilometers, Pakistan’s northern regions are a masterpiece of nature. Among towering peaks, including numerous summits over 8,000 meters, peaceful valleys like Gilgit, Hunza and Skardu offer a brief escape.As Pakistan invites the world to explore its diverse and fascinating landscapes, it also extends a warm invitation to discovery the history, spirituality and natural wonders that define this remarkable nation.1．As a Buddhist, your favorite destination in Pakistan might be __________.A．Balochistan B．Punjab C．Sindh D．Gilgit2．What do the four parts have in common?A．Natural beauty.B．Historical origin.C．Cultural relics.D．Diverse resources.3．The passage serves as a(n) __________.A．guidance B．introduction C．commercial D．noticeThere comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to different voices, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescue d 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project. When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.4．What was the major concern regarding the construction of the new dam?A．The damage to local farms.B．The high cost of the construction.C．The disapproval of local communities.D．The potential harm to cultural remains.5．How were the cultural sites rescued?A．By rebuilding similar cultural sites.B．By building fences around them.C．By taking them down into pieces.D．By removing and piecing them together again.6．Which of the following best describes the Aswan Dam project?A．International cooperation is not necessary for large-scale projects.B．It is possible to achieve progress without sacrificing cultural heritage.C．The opinions of experts should be ignored in favor of popular opinion.D．Countries should always prioritize their own interests over global concerns.7．What is the key to the success of the Aswan Dam project?A．Trial and error.B．Adequate investment.C．Global cooperation.D．Careful investigation.Since the last ice age, humans have cleared nearly half of the earth’s forests and grasslands for agriculture. With the world population expanding, there’s ever-increasing pressure on farmland to produce not only more food but also clean energy. In places such as Yakima County, Washington, it’s created competition for space as land-hungry solar panels (板) consume available fields. Last month, the state approved plans to cover 1,700 acres of agricultural land with solar panels, fueling concerns over the long-term impacts of losing cropland.A recent study from the University of California, however, shows how farmers may soon harvest crops and energy together. One researcher, Majdi Abou Najm, explains that visible light spectrum (光谱) can be separated into blue and red light waves, and their photons (光子) have different properties. Blue ones have higher energy than red ones. While that gives blue light what is needed to generate power, it also results in higher temperatures. “From a plant angle, redphotons are the efficient ones,” says Abou Najm. “They don’t make the plant feel hot.”A goal of the study is to create a new generation of solar panels. He sees potential in the organic solar cells, which come from carbon-based materials. Thin and transparent, the cells are applied like a film onto various surfaces. This new technology could be used to develop special solar panels that block blue light to generate power, while passing the red light on to crops planted directly below. These panels could also provide shade for heat-sensitive fruits during the hottest part of the day.By 2050, we’ll have two billion more people, and we’ll need more food and more energy. By maximizing the solar spectrum, “we’re making full use of an endlessly sustainable resource,” says Abou Najm. “If a technology kicks in that can develop these panels, then the sky is the limit on how efficient we can be.”8．What problem does the first paragraph focus on?A．Losing cropland to solar panels.B．Distribution of the world population.C．Reduction in forests and grasslands.D．Competing for land between farmers.9．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．Generation of solar power.B．Hot weather increasing efficiency.C．Blue photons having higher energy.D．Separation of visible light spectrum.10．What do we know about the organic solar cells?A．They make fruits heat-sensitive.B．They can cool down in hot days,C．They allow red light to pass through.D．They can store carbon-based materials.11．What does Abou Najm think of the future of the new solar panels?A．Limited.B．Promising.C．Uncertain.D．Challenging.While Industry 5.0 is believed to have started in 2020, the rise of AI in recent years has led experts to say it is now coming. Imagine AI-powered robots that see, hear, touch and more, pooling fresh data from across those groups of sensors to create that data with the vast ranges of digital data stored elsewhere online. The age is a major leap from the First Industrial Revolution, when steam engine started to achieve widespread commercial use.Professor John Nosta says, “The integration of sensory capabilities into AI models is not merely a technological leap. It represents a shift in our philosophical understanding of artificial and human intelligence.”He has also referred to the new era as “the Cognitive (认知) Age,” which will completely change how humans live, work, and think about themselves. According to Nosta, humans don’t typically think of computers as “experiencing” the world themselves. But that assumption will be challenged as more advanced AI systems are hooked up to ever more and ever greater sensors. The machines won’t just be logic boxes that humans input data and commands for processing. The AI will collect that data more and more on its own, experiencing the world for itself.“This is not just about understanding words, but also about grasping the tone, pitch (音高), and emphasis, which add layers of meaning often absent in written text. Image recognition adds another layer of complexity,” he added. “For example, it can analyze photographs, identify objects, and even understand the emotional content of facial expressions.”The Johannesburg-based business school is just one of many college-level programs attempting to investigate and teach its students about the still-emerging IR 5.0. Seton Hall in New Jersey offers a three-credit course on this latest age in human technology and trade; MIT has brought in guest speakers to lecture on the concept, and many other research institutions are following suit.12．Where does IR 5.0 differ from previous industrial revolution?A．It processes data and commands.B．It interacts with humans through texts.C．It enhances human sensory capabilities.D．It employs more senses in its application. 13．Why is IR 5. 0 called the Cognitive age?A．AI collects and interprets data itself.B．AI turns written texts into voice.C．AI understands written language well.D．AI has an ability of expressing emotions 14．How do some colleges address IR 5.0?A．By offering related courses.B．By expecting more industrial revolution.C．By applying AI to the technological trade.D．By preparing for the rapid economic changes.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Al Is Approaching Us Gradually B．A New IR Is About Machine LearningC．AI Has Developed Its Own Senses D．We Are Entering IR 5.0 NowPursue Y our Dreams Today, Not TomorrowHave you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams? We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay. But why wait? 16 You don’t have to take a huge, life-changing step. You can take minute steps toward a brighter future. And start right now.17 If you never try, you’re going to be weighed down by your regrets. You’re always going to wonder how your life would’ve turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself. Don’t let your future self be disappointed by your present self.It doesn’t matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you’re never going to succeed. Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their field. 18 Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.At the end of the day, you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction. If you allow your fear to get the best of you, you’re never going to forgive yourself.19 . It’s what you would encourage your friends to do, so why aren’t you giving yourself that same push?Sometimes, following your passion means spending a lot of your time each day. It may require making slight adjustments to your schedule, but you don’t have to sacrifice everything to follow your hearts. Try to strike a balance between your current life and your dreams. 20 Pursue your dreams now, even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone, and even though it means entering the unknown.A．Ask yourself what would be worse.B．Starting small is completely acceptable.C．You owe it to yourself to go after your dreams.D．New opportunities may lead to personal growth.E．If things go well, you can gradually make further shifts.F．You need to move past your insecurities and explore your full potential.G．Hard as it is, it’s crucial to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.二、完形填空As a first-generation Asian immigrant(移民)who had grown up in poverty, I knew I was beyond 21 to be admitted into Harvard.

The bag contained a book.This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure---a 120-page diary kept 190 years age by Deborah Logan,"a woman who knew everybody in her day,"James Green ,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington,D. C. in the war of 1812.She describes President James Madison on horseback as "perfectly shaking with fear"during the troubled days.George Wash- ington,she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man,and praised her excellent English ．The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先）to the Library Company,which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession"about five minutes"when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person.On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green.Luxmoore was shocked to realise that he had left it in the taxi.Without any delay.Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck,” I’ve felt sick since then,"Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green,no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building .Tom Brennan received a reward(奖励)of 1,000,Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history,and Luxmoore told reporters,"It's wonderful news. I’m on high".51.This article mainly tells about the story of ＿＿＿＿＿A.a lost diaryB.Deborah LoganC.Cory LuxmooreD.the Library Company52.From the text,we learn that the diary is now owned by＿＿＿＿＿A.Tom BrennanB.an unknown personC.a Philadelphia magazineD.the Library Company of Philadelphia53.Philadelphia is thought to be the best home for the diary because＿＿＿＿＿.A.it was written in PhiladelphiaB.it tells stories about PhiladelphiaC.people in the city are interested in old thingsD.the British and the Americans once fought in Philadelphia54.Which of the following shows the right order of what happened to the diary?a-Tom Brennan found the book in an office building.b-The book was shown to James Green.c-Cory Luxmoore arrived from England.d-The book was left behind in a taxi.A.a.b.c.dB.c.b.d.aC.a.c.d.bD.c.a.b.d55.What did Cory Luxmoore mean when he said "I'm on high"?A.I'm richB.I'm famousC.I'm excitedD.I'm lucky.BComputer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become"computer-literate."But not all experts agree that this is a good idea.One ploneer,in particular,who disagrees is David Tebbutt,the founder of ComputertownUK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way.He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them” people-literate."David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two,The clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already.This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have,They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask.People don't have to learn computer terms(术语), but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming "people-literate."56. Which of the following is David Tebbutt's ides on the relationship between people andcomputers?puter learning should be made easier.B.There should be more computer clubs for experts.C.People should work harder to master computer use.puters should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.57.We can infer from the text that "computer-literate" means__________.A. being able to afford a computerB.being able to write computer programsC. working with the computer and finding out its valueD. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it58. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns__________.A.help to set up more computer clubsB.bring people to learn to use computersC. bring more experts to work togetherD. help to sell computers to the public59.

The following are three of the most common.Myth Number One: It’s best to be "thrown clear"of a serious accident.Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear"is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield(挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are "thrown clear."Myth Number Two: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meetthe windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.62．why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can’t be healthy if you're dead"?A. He was driving at great speed.B. He was running across the street.C. He didn't have his safety belt on.D.

Never drive faster than 30 mile an hour.B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.EWhen a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: "We have to go to work now." you're left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is. until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the "work" they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of t he name “s tage sch ool” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.A visit to such school will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn’t settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work., and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 do 80 days.The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don't make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.67 People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the chil dren they’re talking to______.A. attend a stage schoolB. are going to the theatreC. have got some work to doD. love singing and dancing68 In the writer's opinion. a good stage school should________.A. produce star performersB. help pupils improve their study ski1lsC. train pupils in language and performing artsD. provide a general education and stage training69."Professional work" as used in the text means________.A．ordinary school workB．money-making performancesC. stage training at schoolD. acting, singing or dancing after class70. Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.B.
