We may not only need to adapt ourselves to living in a warmer world but a (21) _________ (tasty) one as well.As the increased amount of carbon dioxide in the air linked to global warming (22) _________ (continue) to affect weather, we often forget that they are also impacting the quantity, the quality, and the growing locations of our food. Some foods have already felt the impact while (23) _________ may even become scarce within the next 30 years.Whether or not you try to limit yourself (24) _________ one cup of coffee a day, the effects of climate change on the world's coffee-growing regions may leave you little choice.Rising temperatures and unpredictable rainfall patterns are reported to have been threatening coffee plantations in South America, Africa, Asia, and Hawaii. The result? Significant cuts in coffee yield.According to organizations like Australia's Climate Institute, half of the present coffee-producing areas (25) _________ (estimate) not to be suitable by the year 2050, if current climate patterns continue.With temperatures continuously rising, oceans are absorbing some of the heat and undergoing warming of their own, (26) _________ (cause) a decline in fish population, including in lobsters that are cold-blooded creatures, and in salmons (鲑鱼) (27) _________ eggs find it hard to survive in higher water temperatures.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. partneredB. evolutionC. formerlyD. advanceE. tailoredF. pursueG. transformingH. voluntarilyI. balancingJ. equalK. loyaltyWorkforce of the FutureThe workplace is changing rapidly. Rather than the standard working day of nine to five, employees are working more flexibly to meet their busy home lives. Advances in technology are ___31___ the very nature of the tasks and skills required in the workplace.To gain a full perspective of how the workplace is set to change over the next decade, employee benefits provider Unum UK ___32___ with The Future Laboratory to survey 3,000 workers across several industries. They also interviewed industry experts and business leaders on topics from artificial intelligence and robotics to the increase of flexible working and an ageing workforce.The result outlines some of the employment changes that businesses can expect to see over the next decade and predicts the ___33___ of two worker cultures which will dominate the workforce. They are the obligated and the self-fulfilled workers.“Obligated workers” refer to people with dependents and the sandwich generation, ___34___ raising children with caring for elderly parents. Therefore, they value a career ___35___ to life stages and events and financial security. Joel Defries, 33, father of one kid an d partner at London Vodka said, “A flexible employer will allow me to have a long paternity leave (陪产假) and to value my family just as much as I value my job.”Self-fulfilled workers are committed to life-long learning and acquiring new skills rather than ___36___ to an employer.

Elly Kemp, 31, ___39___ a full-time employee, now working part-time in a caféand also assisting with her grandmother’s care said, “My approach to work allows me the freedom to ___40___ my career at my own pace. I want my work to be fluid so I can change it w hen I want and do whatever makes me happy at the time.”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.Early decision — you apply to one school, and admission is binding (有法律约束力的) — seems like a great choice for nervous applicants. Schools ___41___ a higher percentage of early-decision applicants, which arguably means that you have a better chan ce of being enrolled. And if you do, you’re done with the whole painful process by December. But most students and parents don’t realize that schools have hidden ___42___ foroffering early decision.Early decision, since it’s binding, allows schools to fi ll their classes with qualified students; it allows ___43___ committees to select the students that are in particular demand for their college and know those students will come. It also gives schools a higher yield rate (优秀学生率), which is often used as one of the ways to ___44___ college selectivity and popularity.The problem is that this process effectively ___45___ the window of time students have to make one of the most important decisions of their lives up to that point. Under ___46___ admissions, seniors have to choose which school to attend until May 1; early decision effectively steals six months from them, months that could be used to visit more schools, do more research, speak to current students and alumni (校友) and make a more ___47___ decision.For any given student in America, whatever their levels are, there are a number of schools that are a great ___48___. When students become too fixed on a particular school early in the admissions process, that fixation can lead to ___49___ severe disappointm ent if they don’t get in or, if they do, it is likely that they are now bound to go to a school that, given time for further ___50___, may not actually be right for them.Early decision offers a genuine admissions edge. That advantage goes largely to students who already have ___51___ advantages. The students who use early decision tend to be those who have received higher-quality college guidance, usually a result of coming from a more advantaged background. ___52___, there’s an argument against early deci sion, as students from lower-income families are far less likely to have the admissions know-how (招生诀窍) to ___53___ figure out the often confusingearly deadlines.Students who have done their research and are confident that there’s one school they would b e thrilled to get into should, under the current system, probably ___54___ under early decision. For students who haven’t yet done enough research, or who are still constantly changing their minds on favorite schools, the early-decision system needlessly and prematurely ___55___ the field of possibility just at a time when students should be opening themselves to a whole range of thrilling options.41. A. let in B. turn down C. make up D. give away42. A. dangers B. costs C. assumptions D. purposes43. A. admissions B. joint C. inquiry D. investigative44. A. detail B. measure C. achieve D. represent45. A. neglects B. provides C. shortens D. marks46. A. future B. regular C. random D. compulsory47. A. informed B. honoured C. imposed D. complicated48. A. fit B. aid C. hit D. net49. A. therefore B. otherwise C. however D. furthermore50. A. comment B. enhancement C. implication D. reflection51. A. mutual B. favourite C. numerous D. temporary52. A. In other words B. In this regard C. In particular D. In brief53. A. hesitantly B. relatively C. deliberately D. efficiently54. A. consult B. volunteer C. adjust D. apply55. A. occupies B. encloses C. narrows D. exploresSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in thepassage you have just read.(A)One recent night, while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked. “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.” In other words, ideals —general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others — can often lead us to unreasonable ideas. It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people. We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America. The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes: Jewish people were “greedy,” Mexicans were “poorly educated,” and Asians were “good at math.” These labels were taught to us from a young age. They wormed their way into our belief systems, harming how we came to see others. It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true. The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination (歧视).You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people. Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials (千禧一代) being described as “monkish,” or “dad-fashion (复古作风)” which has given the “greasy middle-aged men” tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.It’s about time that we, as a society, walked away from generalizations and stereotypes. I leave you with the words ofMartin Luther King Jr. from his famous “I Have a Dream” speech: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual, you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.56. According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?A. By describing people’s personalities.B. By truly getting to know those around.C. By observing their noticeable features.D. By following Martin Luther King’s speech.57. According to the author, a culture of discrimination appears because ________.A. people live in places of various racesB. people are born with unreasonable ideasC. prejudices slightly influence people’s be lief systemD. people usually make judgments without thinking twice58. Examples of “millennials” and “dad-fashion” are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal ________.A. generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB. generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC. generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged ChineseD. generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry59. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A. the common prejudiceB. people’s expectat ion of themselvesC. the groundless worriesD. the famous speech of Martin Luther King(B)When you cross deep water driving too fast, you risk splashing water up into the air box and having it get sucked into the internal engine, which is more common than you think. There are a few steps you should take to clear the water out before you try to start it:1. First, drain the fuel tank, fuel lines and the oil. While it's draining, put a fan on the wiring and dry it out. Remove and clean the carburetor (化油器).2. Take the plugs out of the engine and turn it over to force any water out. Water will come out with the oil. Add oil to the engine and turn it over again, without the plug in. Let it sit for a while, then observe the oil to tell if there's any water in it (it will look like a white milky substance if there is water mixed with the oil). If it's there, drain it again and start over until there is little or no white showing in the oil.3. Now re-install the spark plug, add gas, then try to start the engine. You should have a can of ether (乙醚) handy just in case it's stubborn, but don't use too much. If it starts, let it run for a few minutes without making it work faster.4. After it runs for several minutes, shut it off, drain the oil and change the filter(过滤网). Run it again for a few minutes then shut it off and checks again for milky colored oil. If you have none, you should be good to go.5. If you cannot start the engine, you may have already ruined it and you will probably need to seek a professional to repair it, or, more likely, you'll have to replace it.60. According to the passage, a driver turns the engine over after oil is added to it so that he can _______.A. drain the oil and change the filter without any difficultyB. re-install the spark plug and get ready to start the car againC. make a milky substance which is the mixture of water and oilD. see whether there is any water in the engine by checking the oil61. The underlined word “stubborn” in paragraph 4 may probably means ________.A. reluctant to changeB. hard to switch onC. insufficient to burnD. unable to take in62. This passage may be most helpful to ________.A. a policeman who knows much about car accidentsB. a secretary who has just driven across a small pondC. a driver who is incapable of fixing the car by himselfD. a teacher who is to carry out her routine car maintenance(C)One of the features of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to constantly push into new territory. Without growth and innovation, businesses eventually fade away. Those with staying power, however, have mastered an often-overlooked factor that allows them to focus on the future clearly: empathy (共情). While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others —empathy in its purest form — is the force that moves businesses forward.Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept of a traditional workplace — competitive, the reality is that for business leaders to experience success, they need to not just see or hear the activity around them, but also relate to the people they serve.Some may think they want the results from doggedly (顽强地) pursuing their goals without much thought for other people. This attitude works for some, but at some point — often sooner rather than later — everyone needs to rely on their relationships and established personal and professional connections. These relationships are the product of taking an honest and dedicated interest in others and their businesses. Successful people do not operate alone; each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us toward our goals. True empathy combines understanding both the emotional and the logical rationale(根据) that goes into every decision.Effectively understanding empathy involves viewing it as each person’s connection to the people and marketplace that surround them. A biological principle known as co-evolution explains that the adaptation of an organism is caused by the change of a related object. Similarly, businesses and their leaders participate in co-evolution-type relationships. Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt, build on the strengths around them, and relate to their environment. When businesses fail, it is often because leaders have stopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations. Successful business leaders are receptive to disturbance and aware of what is going on in their organizations both internally and externally.To develop an effective workforce, we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are. This can be frustrating and uncomfortable, particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a better solution. A critical part of developing empathy, however, is learning to understand, respect and implement another individual’s point of view rather than forcing your own.63. In the author’s opinion, if a company wants to achieve success, it must ________.A. frequently develop in new areasB. always stay pure and powerfulC. concentrate on its future developmentD. value much thought for others64. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. empathy generally depends on logical reasonsB. supports from others help to achieve ambitionsC. competition rarely exists in traditional workplacesD. striving for goals on one’s own is the key to success65. Which of the following examples can best illustrate the co-evolution principle?A. Th e boss is too occupied to realize that his employees’ income is below the average.B. The head of the news agency offers little bonus to the journalists who work extra hours.C. The principal promises flexible working hours after the school moves to the countryside.D. The factory director insists on increasing the output despite the declining market demand.66. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Empathy and Business SuccessB. The Formation of EmpathyC. Empathy and AggressivenessD. The Importance of EmpathySection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. BAT wanted to take action.B. Those who gave more tended to gain less.C. The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention.D. By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others — not themselves.E. Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion i n today’s world.F. After all, self-care, good mental health, positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself.We need to do more to help the teachers who are exhausted and stressedTeaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing —and we still have the numbers… by a lot. ______67______”“Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” Bri ce-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT).______68______ So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising — and not. If you’ve been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work “always” or “often” stressful; 27 percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonderwe’re seeing more stories about the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. ______69______We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care, along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one.We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators. ______70______ And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place — be a good teacher.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Online Pharmacy (药店): A Foreseeable TrendOnline pharmacies may replace corner drugstores in the future, which would be of benefit to all of us. Sadly, current Federal Drug Administration (FDA) restrictions prevent many Americans from gaining access to the medicines they require online. Fortunately, online pharmacies offer these drugs and provide patients with more treatment options at lower prices. Those calling for the restrictions are wrong. Online pharmacies are crucial to numerous people.While some drugs sold online aren’t FDA-approved, customers shouldn’t be prevented from buying them. Many of the herbal remedy (草药) online pharmacies offer have been usedfor hundreds of years, especially in Asian countries, and they have strong safety records. Other medicines may come from foreign countries, but they aren’t harming the people who use them in their own countries. Take depression pills as an example. It has been used safely for many years in France and other European countries, yet it’s just now being tested in the U.S.Nowadays, just getting in to see a doctor seems to take forever, not to mention the time and money to get tests done and await the results. Thanks to the Internet, customers now know more about available medicines than ever before and are therefore able to take them without having to consult a doctor. The Internet, after all, is filled with information about all kinds of drugs. Much of it has even been written by doctors and pharmaceutical companies themselves.Another issue to consider is money. Health care costs in America are rising every year, and pharmaceutical companies are making billions. Online pharmacies typically sell their drugs at lower prices than hospital pharmacies and corner drugstores. Consumers shouldn’t be blamed for seeking cheaper alternatives and refusing to line the pockets of already wealthy companies and stores.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 这场因无视规则引发的事故值得我们深思。

People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野(huāngyě)). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go —to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.4.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A.Its business culture.B.Its small population.C.Its geographical position.D.Its favourable climate.5.What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A.Two-thirds of them stayed there.B.One out of five people got rich.C.Almost everyone gave up.D.Half of them died.6.What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A.They found the city too crowded.B.They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C.They were unable to stand the winter.D.They were short of food.7.What is the text mainly about?A.The rise and fall of a city.B.The gold rush in Canada.C.Journeys into the wilderness.D.Tourism in Dawson.After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations — major food sources (来源(láiyuán)) for the wolf – grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red fores have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.8.What is the text mainly about?A.Wildlife research in the United States.B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.9.What does the unde rlined word “displaced〞 in paragraph 2 mean?A.Tested. B.Separated.C.Forced out. D.Tracked down.10.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?A.Damage to local ecology. B.A decline in the park’s income.C.Preservation of vegetation. D.An increase in the variety of animals.11.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?A.Doubtful. B.Positive.C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.You must have heard of Mr. No Ears. This earless, one-eyed cat from Albufeira, Portugal, is a Facebook phenomenon and has his own book: Saudades Mr. No Ears. But for those of you who don’t know him, here is his story.Often referred to as the “Lion King of Albufeira〞, this adorable cat was the head of a eat colony in the region. Viewed from a distance, he appeared to be a king, sitting on a wall. On most days, this was usually where you would find Mr. No Ears, with the members of his colony scattered around on the walkway. At other times, he was jumping cliffs and running on the beach. No one knew on which day he was born, so his caretakers decided to celebrate his birthday on World Animal Day on October 4th.Although there were no ears, his hearing functioned well. One of his eyes was open and purulent (有脓的), with no sign of an eyeball…...Despite all of his problems, he was a strong-minded and happy cat. Some hotel owners found him annoying, ordering his caretakers to send him away so he wouldn’t “upset tourists.〞 But there were just as many people who loved him to pieces, and once he got his own Facebook page, the entire world was at his paws.On the evening of 11 September 2021, Mr. No Ears was taken away against his will. Less than an hour later a request was made via a Facebook page asking for money, making false claims that he was “in pain〞and “had bone cancer.〞 It was said that in an attempt to prove cancer which he did not have, Mr. No Ears suffered a heart attack. He then suffered organ damage, including his kidneys and liver. The taking-away of this much-loved cat from his home and family and the circumstances of his death were very emotive subjects, causing shockwaves throughout the animal-loving world.Thanks to Mr. No Ears, the Albufeirafs Peneco beach Colony became a household name and a “must see〞 on cat lovers, holiday choices. You will recognize Mr. No Ears’ favorite seat under a palm tree because Mr. No Ears’ love-lock is attached to it.12.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Mr. No Ears was born on October 4th. B.Mr. No Ears could hear well without ears.C.All the hotel owners liked Mr. No Ears. D.Mr. No Ears always stayed alone.13.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A.The cat could get to know the world via Facebook page.B.People around the world loved the cat.C.The cat is the Lion King of Albufeira.D.The cat’s caretakers made money on the Internet.14.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.The unexpected response from animal lovers.B.The disappearance and return of Mr. No Ears.C.The disease that took Mr. No Ears’ life.D.The foggy death of Mr. No Ears.15.What can we infer from this passage?A.Albufeira owes its fame to Mr. No Ears.B.Mr. No Ears became famous after his death.C.People began to protect cats because of Mr. No Ears.D.In memory of Mr. No Ears, people named a tree after him.二、七选五Daily overuse of media and technology has a bad effect on the health of all children and teenagers by making them more open to anxiety, and more at risk of future health problems.16. Many newer apps automatically show where the users are when they’r e used. This can tell anyone out there exactly where to find the person using the app.17.They are also upset about their kids spending time on Facebook accounts instead of getting down to their homework assignments, and are afraid of what can come out of their online connections.18.One way is to make a “social media agreement〞 with your kids—a real contract they can sign. In it, they can agree to protect their own privacy, consider their reputation, and not give out personal information.19.In turn, pare nts agree to respect teens’ privacy while making an effort to be part of the social media world. Parents also can help kids spend less time on the computer by putting limits on media use.20.Avoid laptops and smartphones in bedrooms, and set some rules on the use of technology. And don’t forget that setting a good example through your own virtual behavior can go a long way toward helping your kids use social media safely.A.Trust their children more.B.Keep computers in public areas in the house.C.It’s impo rtant to be aware of what your kids are doing online.D.Besides, they promise never to use technology to hurt anyone else.E.

But earlier that morning, I was ready to push myself out of my comfort zone. Jenny stared at the ride, eager to experience the same excitement as the brave group of riders in front of us. I couldn’t say no.After climbing into our seats, an attendant reached up, pulled down the bar, and locked it in place. The ride lifted us slowly, then turned us over like the blueberry pancakes I had eaten three hours earlier, and hoped to keep in their proper place. As I stared at the concrete directly below us, I had a sudden feeling of great fear. I wondered if I had replacement coverage for the phone that I was sure would slip out of my pocket and break into a million tiny pieces. I wondered when my new health insurance would kick in.The ride touched down after twisting and turning our bodies. My friend was waiting for us at the exit. “How was it?” she asked. “Fine. No big deal,” I said, even though my head was spinning(旋转)like one of the other annoying machines dotting the midway.Jenny walked ahead of us and convinced me to keep taking chances and sample more rides. “Oh, look at the pirate ship(海盗船)!” she said. “That looks like a calm ride.”“Let’s go, Auntie!” she said as she rushed to join others in line.I followed her, confident the ride would be uneventful. When I reached the bottom, I tapped out likea WWF wrestler admitting defeat. Although my body was shaking and my head was still spinning, I felt exhilarated just like I was on cloud nine. That morning, I had set a goal, taken my first step to reach it, and felt the joy of achievement.Each time you try something for the first time, you will grow—a little piece of the fear of the unknown is removed and replaced with a sense of satisfaction.4.

It has been used to make snow for the sport of skiing. And farmers use it to water their crops. But it has not been used directly for drinking water.Recently, California officials approved new rules to let water agencies recycle wastewater and put it right back into the pipes that carry drinking water to homes, schools, and businesses. It is a big step for California.California’s new rules would let—but not require—water agencies to take wastewater, treat it, and then put it right back into the drinking water system. That means proving to people that recycled water is not only safe to drink but also not dirty. California would be just the second US state to permit this, following Colorado. It has taken officials more than 10 years to develop these rules, a process that included several studies by independent groups of scientists.A project in Sa n Diego is aiming to produce nearly half of the city’s water through recycling wastewater by 2035. And the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California aims to produce up to nearly 570 million liters(升)a day for its 19 million people. Adel Hagekhalil is with Metropolitan Water. He said the new rules will permit new projects that have not yet been considered.California’s new rules require the wastewater be treated for all bacteria and viruses, even if they are not present in the wastewater. In fact, the treatment is so intense that it removes all of the minerals that make fresh drinking water taste good. That means the minerals need to be added back at the end of the process. Polhemus is a director of the drinking water group for the California Water Resources Control Board. “It’s at the same drinking water quality, and probably better in many instances,” he said, adding that it takes time and money to build these treatment centers. So, they will only be available for bigger cities at first.8. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about the recycled wastewater?A.Its qualities. B.Its functions.C.Its target users. D.Its disadvantages.9. What do California and Colorado have in common?A.They made some new rules on pollution.B.They spent ten years recycling wastewater.C.They tried to make wastewater safe to drink.D.They requested water agencies to speed up treating water.10. What is Polhemus’s attitude to turning recycled wastewater to drinking water?A.Doubtful. B.Favorable. C.Pessimistic. D.Indifferent.11. What is the best title for the text?A.The Process of Recycling Wastewater Is ComplicatedB.California Tries to Reduce the Wastewater GenerationC.California Permits Turning Wastewater to Drinking WaterD.New Wastewater Treatment Projects Have Been Approved“Given that signs of Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) start to accumulate in the brain several decades before the disease begins, understanding the connection between sleep and cognition (认知) earlier in life is critical for underst anding the role of sleep problems as a risk factor for the disease,” said study author Yue Leng, PhD, of the University of California, San Francisco.The study involved 526 people with an average age of 40. They were followed for 11 years. Researchers loo ked at participants’ sleep duration and quality. Participants wore a wrist activity monitor for three continuous days on two occasions approximately one year apart to calculate their averages. Participants slept for an average of six hours. Participants also reported bedtime and wake-up time in a sleep diary and completed a sleep quality survey with scores ranging from 0 to 21. A total of 239 people reported poor sleep with a score greater than five.Researchers also looked at sleep fragmentation (碎片化), a measure of restlessness during the sleep period expressed as a percentage. The higher the value, the more sleep is interrupted. Participants were divided into three groups based on their sleep fragmentation score. Of the 175 people with the most interrupted sleep, 44 had poor cognitive performance 10 years later, compared to 10 of the 176 people with the least interrupted sleep.After adjusting for age, sex, race, and education, people who had the most interrupted sleep had more than twice the possibility of having poor cognitive performance when compared to those with the least interrupted sleep. There was no difference in cognitive performance at midlife for those in the middle group compared to the group with the least interrupted sleep.However, due to the small sample size, the researchers were unable to fully investigate potential race or sex differences. “More research is needed to assess the link between sleep disturbances and cognition at different life stages and to identify if critical life periods exist when sleep is more strongly associated with cognition,” Leng said.12. What do we know about Yue Leng’s study?A.Data collection was an easy process. B.It aimed to find a cure for Alzheimer’s.C.The results were far from satisfactory. D.Higher scores mean poorer sleep quality.13. What can we learn about sleep fragmentation in the study?A.It did require outside intervention. B.It included a series of memory tests.C.It measured short interruptions of sleep. D.It determined those participants’ groups.14. What do the findings indicate according to the text?A.The quality of sleep may affect cognitive health.B.Keeping a sleep diary can improve one’s sleep quality.C.People sleeping well won’t suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.D.People with i nterrupted sleep won’t have memory problems.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The major limitation of the study.B.An explanation of the research method.C.A possible reason for the study findings.D.The use of careful investigations in real life.Test anxiety exists and is a common problem among students. 16 . When you’re stressed and anxious during an exam, your mind has a tendency to go completely blank. Here are some tips on how to reduce or overcome test anxiety.Get to know the materialFirst, you need to know the topic of the exam. 17 . Knowing as much as possible about the material can get you ready for the test. As to any exam, learn your material thoroughly. Memorize what needs to be memorized and understand what needs to be understood.Slow down and calm yourself18 . So when the test starts, rather than immediately jumping to answer the questions, relax first to get your mind to work. Wait for the class to settle down before you start answering. Saying a few words of encouragement and conscious breathing can help you calm yourself down.19If you have an hour for an exam, try to consume every second of that hour in answering the best possible choice. There are no rewards for finishing first!Silence unwanted pressuresBelieve it or not, chances are that other students can be a source of major anxiety during the test. Seeing them cramming (恶补), telling you what you need to remember and what might show up in the exam will affect your preparation. Get past through the negative and unwanted thoughts and remind yourself of how well you know about the topic. Avoid speaking with any fellow classmates who are not prepared and who express negativity. 20 .Zac Clark was doing yard work with his mother this past weekend. They ______ heard their neighbor’s wife calling for help.

AThere are four youngest athletes who won the gold medal in the Olympics.Their achievements are recorded in the history of professional sports.Marjorie GestringMarjorie Gestring was only13years and268days old when she won a gold medal for her county.After1936,the Olympies were sopped for the Second World War.Following the conclusion of the war,she could not qualify for the 1948London Olympics.Marjorie Gestring would have won more gold medals considering her talent if not for the World War II.Klaus ZertaKlaus Zerta was only13years and283days old when he won a gold medal at the1960Olympics in Rome,Italy. He cooperated with his teammates Bernhard Knubel and Heinz Renneberg to win the gold medal.Klaus was from West Germany but represented the unified team of Germany at the Olympics.Moreover,he is the youngest confirmed male athlete to win the gold medal in the history of the Summer Olympics,Fu MingxiaChinese female diver Fu Mingxia is popular for being one of the youngest Olympic diving champions.She won a gold medal at the1992Olympic Games in Barcelona when she was just13years and345days old.Her last Olympic gold medal came during the2000Sydney Olympics,which emphasized the environmental protection and the reduction in waste.With the fourth gold medal,she joined Americans Pat McCormick and Greg Louganis as the world's only quadruple(四次的)Olympic diving champions.Nadia ComaneciNadia Comaneci is a five time Olympic gold medalist.She is a retired gymnast and one of the youngest athletes to win the gold medal.In1976,she became the first gymnast to receive a perfect score of10.She was merely14years old when she secured the gold medal at the1976Montreal Olympics.Interestingly,back then,a gymnast had to be14to participate but later the age limit went up to16.1.Which of the following players played team sports?A.Marjorie Gestring.B.Klaus Zerta.C.Fu Mingxia.D.Nadia Comaneci.2.Which Olympics might come up with the concept of“Green Olympics”?A.The1948London Olympics.B.The1992Barcelona Olympics.C.The1976Montreal Olympics.D.The2000Sydney Olympics.3.What can we learn from the text?A.Klaus Zerta defeated Bernhard Knubel and Heinz Renneberg in1960.B.Fu Mingxia won more Olympic-diving champions than Pat McCormick.C.Marjorie Gestring didn’t participate in the Olympics because of the war in1948.D.It is impossible to break Nadia Comaneci's record as the youngest gymnast gold medalist.BLately,I’ve been traveling around the world.No longer am I waking up far away from my home,tired from a late night of writing down the stories I collected the day before.Things are different now,and each day my travels begin like this:1sit down at my dining table,usually early in the morning or late at night when nobody else is awake,and I listen to the radio.The radio station is always from somewhere that isn't here in New York,and most often it comes from afree-to-use website called Radio Garden.Move your mouse and maybe you will land in Bujumbura,Burundi;in Dibrugarh,India;or on the edge of the South Pacific.Seemingly no matter how large or small the broadcaster is,if it sends out a signal online,it can appear on the site and you can listen to it.During the pandemic,Radio Garden,which is now available as an app,at times attracted as many as15million monthly listeners.“We received many heartwarming emails from people stuck at home expressing their gratitude for the service,”said Jonathan Puckey,the site’s founder.Radio Garden began as a project of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision,where designers and computer programmers overlaid(覆盖)station streams with their geographical locations on a3-D map of the world. As a result,there is more than one way to transmit.Visiting a country like Colombia brought back memories of past trips--romantic accordion music reminding me of bus rides on the rural roads.Where will you visit first on the Radio Garden globe?For me,thrilling as it is to drop in on Ouagadougou or Ulaanbaatar or the Azores,it’s all about personal history:I was born and raised in New York,but my family is from everywhere—Latin America,the Middle East,and places in between.My ancestors were merchants who traded in goods and cultures.Now,because of their wanderings,pieces of six languages still fly across our dinner tables. Thanks to Radio Garden,my family can cross planes of space and time without worry!4.What does the first paragraph focus on?A.The joys of radio travel.B.A scene of traveling by radio.C.A popular way of traveling.D.The difference in this travel.5.What do we know about Radio Garden?A.It is affordable.B.It is widely accepted.C.It is easy to maintain.D.It is based in New York.6.What does the author think is the greatest advantage of Radio Garden?A.Simplifying travel schedules.B.Making tourism popular again.C.Improving the traveling experience.D.Promoting the virtual reality travel.7.What does the last paragraph imply?A.Radio Garden is expanding quickly.B.Radio Garden increases global connections.C.Radio Garden benefits from global awareness.D.Radio Garden facilitates the development of tourism.CPeople do physical exercise as part of their healthy lifestyle to get stronger and healthier.There are three basic modes of physical exercise:flexibility exercise helps the human body in general or its part in particular to be able to reach farther and bend better;aerobic exercise helps the body work hard for a long time; anaerobic exercise makes the arms and legs stronger.It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body,but also for your mind.According to researchers,gymnasts are more likely to be emotionally stable,football players the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest.The psychological study,which was carried out by experts,also revealed that sports can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity,reading habits and even their voting intentions.Boxers,for example,are most likely to focus on material possessions in life.Meanwhile,runners tend to be outgoing people who love being the centre of attention.Walkers,a group that includes those who enjoy wandering and cross-country races,are least concerned about other people and like doing things by themselves without interruption from others.Those who play chess are confident when they face challenges and trouble.Those who swim tend to be tidy and charitable.However,according to Mind Lab,61percent of adults are fond of helping others regardless of their choice of sports.The results.from this study also show that no matter what kind of person you are,there is the right kind of exercise for you,8.Which of the following sports belongs to flexibility exercise?A.Running.B.Swimming.C.Football.D.Gymnastics.9.What can we learn from the text?A.Walkers enjoy loneliness in their lives.B.Boxers tend to ignore wealth in life.C.Runners have great power of concentration.D.Chess players like challenging other people.10.Why does the author mention Mind Lab in Paragraph4?A.To make a contrast.B.To draw a comparison.C.To place an emphasis.D.To give an example.11.What is the best title for the text?A.How can you choose suitable sports?B.What kind of sports can benefit you most?C.How can sports keep you mentally healthy?D.What does your choice of sports tell about you?DConsumers in the U.S.spend billions of dollars a year on gifts wrapping.Two colleagues and I wondered whether all that time and effort is actually worth it.So we conducted three experiments to explore the impact of gift wrapping.In the first experiment,we involved180students,who were given a gift—a coffee cup with the logo of one of two NBA basketball teams,the local Miami Heat or rival(竞争对手)Orlando Magic.Every participant was a fan of the Heat and they obviously didn't support the Magic.We gave half of the students a desirable gift,while the others received something they disliked.Finally,half of the gifts were wrapped neatly,while the rest looked sloppy(凌乱的).We found that those who received a sloppily wrapped gift liked their present significantly more than those who received a neatly wrapped gift—regardless of which cup they got.To understand why,we asked another set of students to report their expectations about either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift.Results showed that expectations were significantly higher for the neatly wrapped gifts.However, receivers of the neatly wrapped gift reported that it failed to live up to their expectations,while those who got the sloppily wrapped gift said it surpassed(超过)their expectations.In our final experiment,we surveyed261adults and asked them to imagine receiving either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift.This time we instructed half of them to imagine the gift was from a close friend,while the other half believed it came from an acquaintance(熟人).Then we revealed the gift and asked them to rate it.When it came from a close friend,receivers ended up liking the sloppily wrapped gift more.However,for the gift from an acquaintance,receivers preferred it when it was neatly wrapped.This occurs because these participants used the wrapping as a cue for how much the gift-giver values their relationship.So if you’re stressed over gift wrapping this holiday season,consider saving yourself effort and money by wrapping your friends’gifts haphazardly(随意地).But for someone you don’t know quite as well,it’s probably worth it to show that you put in some effort to make it look good with all of the beautiful bows.12.What did the researchers find in the first experiment?A.A desirable gift is expected to be wrapped sloppily.B.Participants were more interested in neatly wrapped gifts.C.A soppily wrapped gift can make the receiver much happier.D.Participants responded the same to gifts with different wrappings.13.Why did the researchers carry out the second experiment?A.To further explain the result of the first experiment.B.To compare receivers’expectations for the same gifs.C.To know why receivers have different expectations for gifs.D.To find out the impact of wrapping on receives’expectations.14.What do neatly wrapped gifts show according to the third experiment?A.The gift giver is very skilled at wrapping gifts,B.The gift giver has a close relationship with the receiver.C.The gift giver attaches great importance to the relationship.D.The gift giver wants to become a close friend of the receiver.15.What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A.To give examples.B.To make suggestions.C.To make comparisons.D.To present an argument.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

His mother took him to see the famous showman, P. T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles' parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name, General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall. Tom's act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty five.Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of thelittle people was Lavinia Warren, a schoolteacher. Tom was able to win her love, and they married.The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town. They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about 20xx guests. Crowds filled the streets of New York to have a look at their tiny wedding marriage. The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln on their honeymoon just before going to live in Tom's house in Connecticut.Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the sad problems of war. Not willing to let this bit of sunshine fade, communities throughout the country sponsored "Tom Thumb" weddings. In these weddings, small boys and girls, all dressed up, went through marriage ceremony for fun.21.The underlined words "talk of the town" means________.A. it was in the newspaperB. it was the most popular topicC. people spread bad rumors about itD. it was discussed in a city meeting22.Which one of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Charles mother took him to see the famous showman because he stopped growing.B. Tom had to fight with others during the show.C. Tom’s wedding ceremony helped people cheer up in a dark time.D. Tom and his mother came from England.23.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Weddings always make people feel full of sunshine.B. People are always disappointed during war time.C. Entertainment can serve an important purpose.D. People should be married when they are small children.BDeath is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying intotwo phases --- clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still berevived(复活). Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breaking up” of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢), cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery. The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous(自发的)breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection, Keta seized the syringe and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.24.For a person who suffers from the clinical death,_________.A. his most important organs are damaged.B. he still has the possibility of getting back to life.C. he cannot avoid final death.D. he is still very much alive25.Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longerin order to __________.A. slow down the body’s metabolism.B. bring vital cells and tissues back to active life.C. cool the organism.D. delay the coming of biological death.26. How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death?A. By putting her to sleep, lowering her temperature and draining her blood.B. By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood.C. By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating.D. By draining her blood, lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing.27. All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state except the factthat__________.A. her heart beat again.B. she regained her normal breath.C. she rejected a penicillin injection.D. she acted as lively as a healthy monkey.CA Guide to the UniversityFoodThe TWU Cafeteria is open 7am to 8pm.

However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答问卷者)listed “to g ive children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group. The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.Like in America, there is diversity(多样性) in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential(潜力的) development. In large cities, some kindergartens areattached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.32.
