Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Love from the Apple TreeOnce upon a time, there used to be a tall and big apple tree. A little boy, every day to the tree down, climbed up 1 (pick) apples to eat, and slept in the shade of the tree. He loved the apple tree, and it loved to play with him. The little boy gradually grew up and stopped 2 (come) to play every day. One day he came to the tree, picked all the apples and left happily. Another day, the boy came again, and cut off all the branches, happily away to build a house himself. One summer, the boy came back, cut down her tree trunk, built a boat, 3 (sail) away, and did not come back for a long time. After years, the boy returned at last. He was old and wanted 4 more than a place to rest. “Old root is 5 (suitable) to sit down and rest, come on, sit down and rest with me!” The boy sat down, and the apple tree was so happy that it shed tears.This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parent. 6 we are young, we love to play with Mom and Dad. Having grown up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they 7 to make you happy.8 your parents can give you is not necessarily the best in the world, but they will try their best to give you all, and they are afraid that it is not enough; maybe they never said “I love you”, but love you in their own way for a lifetime, 9 is how most parents around the world show their love. For example, a tired father was watching his two daughters eat fried chicken, but he didn’t order anything, telling his daughters that he was not hungry, 10 more money in his pocket. We grow up to know that the world’s most affectionate lie is what the father and mother said: I do not love to cat it and I am not hungry.二、选词填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in theTextbooks Textbooks represent an 11 billion dollar industry, up from $8 billion in 2014.subject-matter experts through graphic and layout artists to expert reviewers and classroom testers. Textbook publishers connect professors, instructors and students in ways thatconnection happens not only by means of collaborative development, review and testing, butcoming year.It is true that textbook publishers have recently reported losses, largely due to students renting or buying used print textbooks. But this can be 15 up to the excessively high cost of their books—which has increased over 1,000 percent since 1977. A restructuring of the textbook industry may well be in 16 . But this does not mean the end of the textbook itself. While they may not be as dynamic(动态的)as an iPad, textbooks are not 17 or lifeless. From 1800 to the present day, textbooks have done this by raising questions for students to answer. That means students are asked to use their individual experience to come up with answers to 18 questions.Today’s psychology texts, for example, ask: “How much of your personality do you think you 19 ?” while ones in physics say: “How can you predict where the ball you threw will land?” Experts observe that “textbooks come in layers, something like an onion.” For an active learner, choosing a textbook 20 can be an interactive experience. Readers proceed at their own pace.三、完形填空Global surface temperatures last month were 2.25 degrees warmer than the 20th century average of 60.1 degrees, breaking previous records, from August 2016, by more than half arecord to the next,” said Ellen Bartow, a physical scientist with NOAA’S National Centers for Environmental Information.The report 22 what millions of people have experienced in recent months, including record-breaking heatwaves that have touched almost every corner of the globe.

Mark Twain published the novel in 1876, which centered on a smart naughty young boy living in a town along the Mississippi River. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer marked the further development of Mark Twain realism.An orphan, Tom Sawyer lived with his Aunt Polly and half brother, Sid, in St. Petersburg, Missouri; the fictional town was based on Hannibal, Missouri. The first few chapters highlighted Tom’s troubled tendencies. He angered his aunt by eating jam, and then he got in a fight with another boy. As punishment for his various misdeeds, Aunt Polly ordered him to whitewash the fence. However, Tom managed to convince other children that whitewashing was fun, and they ended up giving him various items for a turn at the fence. Later in the book Tom went to the cemetery with Huckleberry Finn, a wanderer whose father was a heavy drinker. They came across three grave robbers, including Injun Joe and Dr. Robinson. Thetwo men got into a fight, and Injun Joe murdered the doctor. Although Tom and Huckleberry promised never to tell anyone what they had seen, Tom eventually charged the escaped Indian Joc.At one point, Tom, Huckleberry, and a third boy decided to run away from home and became pirates (海盗). While on an island in the Mississippi River, they discovered that people thought they had died. The three dramatically reappeared during their funeral services. Tom and Huckleberry then decided to look for buried treasure in an abandoned house. The boys were forced to hide when Injun Joe and a partner arrived to bury their own treasure there. However, the two men then came across a gold storage in the house and decided to hide it elsewhere. One night Huck followed them, hoping to find the gold. When he overheard their plan to attack the Widow Douglas, Huck got help, and the crime was prevented. Tom later went on a picnic with his classmates. While exploring a cave, they became lost, and Tom later realized that the gold was likely to be in the cave, and he and Huckleberry discovered it. 36．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．The story outlines the Adventures of Tom Sawyer.B．The story describes Mark Twain’s childhood.C．The story tells the story of Huckleberry.D．This passage comments on Mark Twain’s novels.37．What is the underlined part of the second paragraph trying to illustrate?A．Tom’s helpfulness.B．Tom’s honesty.C．Tom’sfriendliness.D．Tom’s naughtiness.38．What’s the correct order of the happenings in the third story?a.

Countries are busy developing rockets and satellites, developing manned space technology, formulating plans to explore the moon and Mars, and conquering space “One step ahead?”.When engineers develop a spacecraft, they ask a few key questions that guide their process, says David Klaus, a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, who studies risk assessment and human spaceflight. They are, he explains, “What do we want to do? What does it take to do it? What can go wrong? And what can we do to reduce the chance of the bad things going wrong?” These questions seem simple enough, but the answers are essential.When NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin or anyone else considers sending humans into space, the vehicle they build must do three things. First, it has to accommodate the crew members by meeting their basic needs such as oxygen, food and water. Second, it should allow them to accomplish mission objectives. Lastly, it must protect the people onboard and on the ground from the risks of spaceflight and reentry. Sometimes meeting one need introduces new risks. The crew needs to breathe, of course, but it was high-pressure tanks of liquid oxygen that caused an explosion on Apollo 13, and it was the fuel powering an oxygen generator that sparked a fire onboard the Mir space station in 1997.Not only do astronauts float through a near vacuum (真空) filled with radiation, but in low-Earth orbit, where the International Space Station (ISS) operates, crews have to deal with a growing cloud of debris (碎片) circling Earth, which are usually from old satellites. The ISS’s debris protective covering can absorb impacts from particles smaller than half an inch, but between 1999 and 2022, the station had to fire pushers 32 times to avoid contact with larger objects. A single hit would be dangerous; at speeds of 17,500 miles per hour, even something the size of a softball can cause severe damage.What is the point of looking decades into space and struggling to explore the vastness of the universe? The development of the space industry has brought humans many benefits, the most important of which is the spread of information. The cell phone signal and TV signal people use now are all benefiting from the development of the space industry. The ultimate goal of mankind is to go deeper into space, and to explore more unknown worlds, that is, the Moon, Mars and beyond, and what humanity is eager to achieve is a common home of freedom and equality.43．Why did the writer mention the explosion on Apollo 13 in Paragraph 3 and the fire onboard the Mir space station?A．To explain the high risks of the space industry.B．To show the disadvantages of the space travel.C．To prove the unexpected risks of the spaceflight process.D．To describe the new risks involved in meeting the requirements.44．What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A．The space environment itself piles on danger.B．Any misstep on a space mission is fatal.C．It is very difficult to complete the space mission.D．Space engineers work hard to clean up space debris.45．What is the ultimate goal of human exploration of space?A．More unknown planets and stars.B．Freedom and equality of human beings.C．More protection against human diseases.D．Space secrets and endless resources. 46．What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean?A．Studying space for countless years.B．Living in space for many years.C．Exploring space for some ten years.D．Observing space for several ten years.Is Human Brain Too Full?The brain is a seemingly endless library, whose shelves house our most precious memories as well as our lifetime’s knowledge. But is there a point where it reaches capacity? The answer is no, because brains are more complicated than that. Instead of just crowding in, old information is sometimes pushed out of the brain for new memories to form. Previous behavioral studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting. 47 In daily life, forgetting actually has clear advantages. Imagine, for instance, that you lost your bank card. The new card you receive will come with a new personal identification number (PIN). Each time you remember the new PIN, you gradually forget the old one. 48 And most of us may sometimes feel the frustration of having old memories interfere with new, relevant memories. Consider trying to remember where you parked your car in the same car park you were at a week earlier. This type of memory (where you are trying to remember new, but similar information) is particularly vulnerable to interference.49 When we search information, both relevant and irrelevant information will appear. The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information. But current studies are beginning to place greater emphasis on the conditions under which we forget, as its importance begins to be more appreciated.A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life.50 In a sense, forgetting is how our brains categorize memories, so the most relevant memories are ready to be taken out. Normal forgetting may even be a safety mechanism to ensure our brain doesn’t become too full.A．While it may sound like an advantage to many, people with this rare condition often find their unusual ability stressful.B．But in a new study researchers demonstrated for the first time how this effect occursin the brain.C．In the future, with the deepening of brain science research, human beings will eventually unlock the secrets of the brain.D．This process improves access to relevant information, without old memories interfering.E．When we obtain new information, the brain automatically attempts to make it into existing information by forming associations.F．The outside world is a judgment of the brain, but humans just don’t realize it.五、书面表达51．Directions: 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.ChatGPT Helps People a LotIn real life, robot customer service in various applications are broadly similar to ChatGPT’s Al products. It is ChatGPT’s ability to learn the most with the highest level of intelligence that has made it a global hit. At the end of November 2022, AI research lab OpenAI launched AI chat software ChatGPT. So what exactly can ChatGPT do, and how can it help us ordinary people?First, chat with ChatGPT as if it were your friend when you’re bored, and it will constantly revise its parameters (参数) and behavior with your advice and guidance. So the more you talk to it, the more it knows what you want, and the more it responds to you. Take travel as an example. While there are a lot of travel recommendation sites out there right now, they can’t be customized to the individual, but you can ask ChatGPT for very specific information to get suggestions.Second, ChatGPT can be used when you want to create content but lack ideas. It can open your mind to ideas as well as create ideas for you. Children in the growth always like to listen to parents tell new stories, and story-telling gives a lot of parents a headache. What should we do when we run out of storybooks? ChatGPT is a great story generator, which generates a whole new story, as many as you want, based on the themes and characters you provide. It’s perfect.Third, let ChatGPT help you out when you’re not sure how to get started with a paper, oran article. Of course, it doesn’t always provide the right content, so we can learn from its framework, and it’s much easier to fill in the content from there. Enter information about the type, title, column name, data, and so on, and ChatGPT will generate the table with one click. You can add columns and rows and do in-table calculations.According to ChatGPT’s own answer, it’s just an unconscious computer program. It can carry on self-active learning and realize task transfer under the regular instruction. Docs the answer ChatGPT gives you have to be the right answer? For conscious humans, it might be better to pick from all the possible answers.___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ____________________六、翻译52．网络社交并不能代替现实生活。

of____11____everywhere,from the workplace to the school.As the power of choice____12____away from the institution and toward the individual,the idea of any establishment deciding what is and is not appropriate dress,when dress is so deeply mixed with personal identity,seems increasingly____13____.So why do so many hosts think a dress code is a good idea?On the one hand,it does help reduce guests’confusion and insecurity about what to wear to a special event.And it can help give a party a festive____14____.There’s something very fun about fancy dresses of a theme.Also,if there are photos involved,a certain____15____ in dress can create a clear visual effect for the photos.On the other hand,if the dress code is too unspecific,it only adds to the generalwhat-to-wear

jobs.An additional630million people would like to move abroad permanently.The global desire to leave home arises from poverty and necessity,but it also grows out of a belief that such mobility is possible.People who hold fast to this universal____21____ assume that individuals can and should be feel at home anywhere in the world and that they need not be____22____to any particular place.This view was once regarded as a negative product of the industrialization but is now accepted as central to a(n)____23____economy.It leads to opportunity and profits,but it also has

universal philosophy that strengthens so much of our market and society.The idea that we can and should feel at home any place on the globe is based on a worldview that celebrates the

with biker leathers and black leather boots.Honestly,his look scared me,so I quickly went out trying to avoid a potential encounter.It was1988,and I was a“mature”journalism student,heading to my favorite elective: Sociology-Study of Deviance.Our gray-haired professor was a straight shooter.He usually brought in guest speakers who represented“deviance”.Our guest speakers included an outlandish dancer,a tarot-card reader or even an alcohol addict.And when I was curious that day to see who this session’s speaker was,“Mr.punk rocker”walked in.He started to talk in a soft voice and told us he was a university student,who lived with his grandma who needed help in every aspect.Therefore,he moved in with her and helped with the cooking and shopping,cleaning and laundry.He made sure she took her meds and tried to make her laugh at least once a day.He described it as a“win-win”for both of them,but I suspected that it was a lot tougher than he made it sound.And then he said:“I just figure it’s normal for you to feel negative about me because of the way I look.But isn’t that the reason for the existence of such a course named Study of Deviance?”Wow.Just wow.“It’s hair and clothing,”he said.“I don’t plan to look this way forever,but for now I like it,and do you think it makes me deviant?”Every so often,I think about that young man.He’d be about fifty now and couldn’t realize how he influenced me.Because of his visit that day,my kids were allowed to wear whatever they wanted,as long as it was relatively clean and not morally abusive.They are upright and kind kids although they sometimes surprise us with red hair or strange trousers.

Simply put,the convenience to know the price of anything,anytime,anywhere,has given us, the consumers,so much power that sellers—in a desperate effort to regain the upper hand,or at least avoid extinction—are now staring back through the screen.They are trying to “comparison shopping”us.They have enough means to do so:the huge data tracks you leave behind whenever you place something in your online shopping cart with top data scientists capable of turning the information into useful price strategies,and what one tech economist calls“the ability to experiment on a scale that’s unimaginable in the history of economics.”In result,not coincidentally,normal pricing practices—an advertised discount off the “list price,”two for the price of one,or simply“everyday low prices”are giving way to far more crazy strategies.“In the Internet era,I don’t think anyone could have predicted how complicated these strategies have become,”says Robert Dolan,a professor at Harvard.The price of a can of soda in a vending machine can now vary with the temperature outside.The price of the headphones may depend on how budget-conscious your web history shows you to be.The price may even be affected by the price of the mobile phone you use for item search.For shoppers,that means price—not the one offered to you right now,but the one offered to you 20minutes from now,or the one offered to me,or to your neighbor—may become an increasingly unknowable thing.“There used to be one price for something,”Dolan notes. Now the true price of pumpkin-pie spice is subject to a level of uncertainty. 43．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．When holidays come,prices are usually increased.B．The right price to sellers is the one to bring biggest profits.C．The right price is fixed although it’s hard to find it.D．To buy a pie,customers have to become an expert in economy.44．Sellers stare back through the screen in order to________.A．reflect on the effect of the InternetB．analyze customers’online buying history for price strategyC．double check the existence of the purchaseD．find out online where the lowest prices are45．In Internet age,what element is NOT likely to affect the price of an item?A．The instant mood of the buyer at the time of purchase.B．The necessity level of the item at the time of purchase.C．The extent to which the buyer is sensitive to the price.D．The price of the facility the buyer uses to look for the item.46．What is the passage mainly about?A．The advantages of online shopping over traditional shopping.B．Measures sellers take to maximize profits.C．The analysis of pricing mechanism.D．The battle between buyers and sellers in Internet age.五、六选四Recently,there’s been a lot of talk in U.S.about the“data problem.”It ought to give the “datadriven”school reformers pause to reconsider.Maybe we are just creating a bubble that too will burst if we continue to base our actions on the belief that only scores on standardized instruments are evidence of success.____47____Margo,a famous commenter,states that at least tests are more“reliable”than professional judgment.How can she tell?We want a nation of citizens who are less ready to think that the“truth”can only be captured in one of four answers—a,b,c,or d.____48____But how can the general trend guarantee the reliability of the score of one particular test-taker?Some educator dares to replace these tests with professional human judgments,which must still rest on a numerical rank order based on a,b,c and d.The big problem is that there is often no technical assurance for the reliability of such exams.No wonder many big-name psychologists avoid them.All“reliability”tells us is that the student would get a similar score on a similar test if given at another time or place.But all scores on old or new tests have measurement errors. Like Wall Street’s numbers,we have no independent basis for relying on these scores. Likewise,validity is in the eye of a certain standard of judgments.How ridiculous it is to say for sure that these judgments are justified!When some parents told me that their children seemed to read well,but scored poorly, they often believed the indirect evidence,test score,and not the direct evidence,listening to their children read.Some parents had been trained to distrust judgment and rely on“real evidence”.My own8-year-old son also used to“fail”a3rd grade reading test even though I “knew”he could read fluently.____49____We need schools that“train”our judgment,which help us become adults who are in the habit of bringing judgment to bear on complex phenomenon.____50____It also involves acknowledging that even experts must live with a substantial degree of uncertainty.Only in this way,can we,to some extent,rely on the results of the school education in the U.S.A．Even the technical meaning of“good tests”is open to question.B．It’s when I became a test doubter.C．Different groups of people fit different test patterns.D．On all achievement tests,we’re promised beforehand a population that fits a normal curve (曲线).E．This includes judging which expertise to“trust”and defending such choices.F．Time spent on standardized tests is,in many cases,equal to that on study.六、概要写作51．Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.The music in youAny party goer can tap her heel to an unfamiliar song without realizing it.Yet when asked on site,she might reply:“Music?I don’t know anything about that.”Maybe you’ve heard a variation on this theme:“I don’t have a musical bone in my body.”Most of us make music publicly just a few times a year,when it’s someone’s birthday and the cake comes out.Privately,it’s a different story.We belt out tunes in the shower and create rhythm tracks on our steering wheel.But when we think about musical expertise,we tend to imagine professionals who specialize in performance,people we’d pay to hear.As for the rest of us,our bumbling private efforts,rather than illustrating that we share an irresistible urge to make music,seem only to demonstrate that we don’t enjoy essential musical capacity.But the more psychologists investigate musicality,the more it seems that nearly all of us are musical experts,in quite a surprising sense.A lot of the most interesting and substantial elements of musicality are things that we all share.We aren’t talking about instinctive,inborn universals here.Our musical knowledge is the product of long experience;maybe not years spent over an instrument,but a lifetime spent absorbing music from the open window of every passing car.In fact,for all its remarkable power,music is in good company.Many of our feelings are governed by a similar rule.We don’t know how we come to like certain food more than others.We don’t know why we fall in love.Yet in the very act of making these choices we reveal the effects of a host of instinctive mental processes.The fact that we respond to musicso naturally and normally actually speaks to its strength and universality.___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________七、汉译英（整句）52．在烟雾的掩护下，她从边门溜走了。

第I 卷（选择题）一、完形填空Directions: Foreach blank in the following passage are four words or phrases marked A ． B ． CandD ． Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Research hasshown that two-thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion ofthe cultural orpolitical problems of the day, not heated debates about filmswe've just watched or books we've just finished reading,but plain and simple___1__.Language isour greatest treasure as a species, and what do we ___2___ do with it? Wegossip. About others'behaviour and private lives, such as who's doing whatwith whom, who's in and who's out ——and why; how to dealwith difficult____3__ situations involving children, lovers, and colleagues.So why are wekeen on gossiping? Are we just natural _4_____, of both time and words? Or do wetalk a lotabout nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the reallyimportant issues of life? It's not the case accordingto Professor RobinDunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution ofLanguage, thepsychologist says gossip is one of these really__5____issues.Dunbar __6____the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stageof socialdevelopment in order to organize their manly hunting activities moreeffectively, or even to promote the exchangeof poetic stories about theirorigins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved amongwomen.We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we cantalk, argues Dunbar —____7__, he goes on tosay, languageevolved specifically to allow us to gossip.Dunbararrived at his cheery theory by studying the __8____ of the higher primates likemonkeys. By means of grooming ——cleaning the fur by brushing it,monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support inthe event of some kind of conflict within the group or___9___ from outside it. As we humanbeings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar __10____that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together madesense because the bigger the group, the greater the ___11___ it provided; on theother hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close toothers. Grooming helped to ___12___ the pressure and calm everybody down. But as thegroups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activitiesalso had to be ____13__ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more __14____kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocalgrooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groupsby exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would bepossible by one-to-one ___15___ contact. 1．A ． claim B ． description C ． gossip D ． language 2．A ． occasionally B ． habitually C ． independently D ． originally 3．A ． social B ． political C ． historical D ． cultural 4．A ． admirers B ． masters C ． users D ． wasters 5．A ． vital B ． sensitive C ． ideal D ． difficult 6．A ． confirms B ． rejects C ． outlines D ． broadens 7．A ． for instance B ． in addition C ． on the contrary D ． as a result 8．A ． motivation B ． appearance C ． emotion D ． behavior 9．A ． attack B ． contact C ． inspection D ． assistance 10．A ． recalls B ． denies C ． concludes D ． confesses 11．A ． prospect B ． responsibility C ． leadership D ． protection 12．A ． measure B ． show C ． maintain D ． ease 13．A ． saved B ． extended C ． consumed D ． gained 14．A ． common B ． efficient C ． scientific D ． thoughtful 15．A ． indirect B ． daily C ． physical D ． secret 二、阅读理解 The teacherwho did the most to encourage me was, as it happens, my aunt.She was Myrtle C ． Manigault, the wife of my mother's brother Bill. She taught me in second gradeat all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouragedme to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what wasconsidered practical or possible for black females.I liked to sing; shelistened to my voice and pronounced it good.I couldn't dance; she taught me thebasic dancing steps.She took me to the theatre-not just children's theatre butadult comedies and dramas-and her faiththat I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensivelibrary and shared them with me.I had books at home, but they were all serious classics.Even as a child I had a strongliking for humour, and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel throughher.Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided myfirst opportunity to write for publication.A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to theeditor as a "youth columnist". My column, begun when I was fourteen,was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave methe freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gatheringmaterial, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation fromcollege six years later, a solid collection of published material that carriedmy name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her "favouriteniece". Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupilwho has crossed her path.16．Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhoodand youth?A．She lent her some serious classics.B．She cultivated her taste for music.C．She discovered her talent for dancing.D．She introduced her to adult plays.17．What does Archy & Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A．A book of great fun.B．A writer of high fame.C．A serious masterpiece.D．A heartbreaking play.18．Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ________.A．develop her capabilities for writingB．give her a chance to collect materialC．involve her in teenage social activitiesD．offer her a series of writing jobs19．We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who________.A．trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplinedB．gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potentialC．emphasized what was practical or possible for pupilsD．helped pupils overcome difficulties in learningHumpback WhalesHumpback whales are sometimes calledperformers of the ocean.This is because they can make impressive movements whenthey dive.The name“humpback”, which isthe common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale'sback forms as it dives.Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantasticmovement known as a breach.During breaching the whale uses its powerful tailflukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap.A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out likewings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach.A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of thewater through two blowholes which are located near the top of the head.It blowsa double stream of water that can rise up to 4 metres above the water.The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towardsthe tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back.Other distinguishingfeatures include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the bodylength, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tailflukes.These markings are like finger prints: no two are the same.Humpback whales live in large groups.They communicatewith each other through complex “songs”.20．According to Quick Facts, ahumpback whale _____.A．cannot survive in waters near the shoreB．doesn't live in the same waters all the timeC．lives mainly on underwater plantsD．prefers to work alone when hunting food21．To make a breach, a humpback whale must _____.A．use its tail flukes to leap out of the waterB．twist its body sideways to jump highC．blow two streams of waterD．communicate with a group of humpbacks22．From the passage we can learn that a humpback whale _____.A．has its unique markings on its tail flukesB．has black and white fingerprintsC．gets its name from the way it huntsD．is a great performer due to its songsIf you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbouror a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to stepinto the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality device.Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a bodyswapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group ofartists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using amachine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "AsI looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner'spants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple.Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The videofrom each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact viewof your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, shesees it.To get used to seeing anotherperson's body without actually having control of it, participants start byraising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along.Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants reallystart to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises toalter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies haveshown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias thathumans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at theUniversity of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the ImplicitAssociation Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between,for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic orawkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digitalcharacter using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. Thistime, the participants' bias scores were lowe r. The idea is that once you've"put yourself in another’s shoes" you're less likely to think ill ofthem, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to BeAnother hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping,people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau,a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kindof experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."23．The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to______.A．buildingB．exchangingC．controllingD．transplanting24．We can infer from the experimentat the Be Another lab that______.A．our feelings are related to our bodily experienceB．we can learn to take control of other people's bodiesC．participants will live more passionately after the experimentD．The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes25．In the Implicit Association Test,before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinneddigital character, ______.A．they fought strongly against racismB．they scored lower on the test for racismC．they changed their behaviour dramaticallyD．they were more biased against those unlike them26．It can be concluded from the passage that______.A．technology helps people realize their dreamsB．our biases could be eliminated through experimentsC．virtual reality helps promote understanding among peopleD．our points of view about others need changing constantly第II卷（非选择题）三、语法填空Directions:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passagecoherent and grammatically correct.

Merchants inParis donated prizes, and tickets were sold. The lottery was a success, butmore money was still needed. The sculptor Bartholdi eventually sold miniatureversions of the statue, 33．the name of the buyer engraved on them.Finally, in July 1880 the French-American Union announced that enough money hadbeen raised to complete the building of the statue.While theFrench had announced that the funds for the statues were in place in 1880, bylate 1882 the American donations, which would be needed to build the pedestal,were sadly lagging. The sculptor Bartholdi had travelled to America in 1871 topromote the idea of the statue. Despite Bartholdi’s efforts, the idea of thestatue was difficult 34．(sell). some newspapers, most notably the New YorkTimes, often criticized the statue as folly, and vehementlyopposed 35．(spend) any money on it. The newspaper publisher JosephPulitzer, who had purchased a New York City daily, The World, in the early1880s, took us the cause of the statue’s pede stal. He mounted an energetic funddrive, promising to print the name of each donor, 36．small the donation,Pulitzer’s audacious plan worked, and millions of people around the countrybegan donating whatever they could.In August1885, that final $100,000 for the statue;s pedestal had been raised.Construction work on the stone structure continued, and the next year theStatue of Liberty, which had arrived from France packed in crated, was erectedon top.四、信息匹配Directions:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can beused only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.Let's sayyou've decided you want to eat more healthfully. However, you don't have timeto carefully plan menus for meals or read food 37．at the supermarket. Sinceyou really38．yourself to a healthier lifestyle, a little help would come inhandy, wouldn't it? This is where a "choice architect" canhelp39．some of the burden of doing it all yourself. Choice architects arepeople who organize the contexts in which customers make decisions. Forexample, the person who decides the layout of your local supermarket——including which shelf the peanut buttergoes on, and how the oranges are piled up——is a choice architect.Governmentsdon't have to40．healthier lifestyles through laws for example, smoking bans.Rather, if given an environment created by a choice architect——one that encourages us to choose what isbest——we will do the right things. In otherwords, there will be designs that gently push customers toward making healthierchoices, without removing freedom of choice. This idea combines freedom tochoose with41．hints from choice architects, who aim to help people livelonger, healthier, and happier lives.The Britishand Swedish governments have introduced a so-called "traffic lightsystem" to 42．foods as healthy or unhealthy. This means that customerscan see at a glance how much fat, sugar, and salt each product contains43．bylooking at the lights on the package. A green light 44．that the amounts ofthe three nutrients are healthy; yellow indicates that the customer shouldbe45．; and red means that the food is high in at least one of the threenutrients and should be eaten in 46．. The customer is given important healthinformation, but is still free to decide what to choose.Various studies have shown that increased spending on education has notled to measurable improvements in learning. Between 1980 and 2008, staff andteachers at U.S. public schools grew roughly twice as fast as students.47．Universities show similar trends ofincreased administration personnel and costs without greater learning, asdocumented in Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa's recent book Academically Adrift:Limited Learning on College Campuses.A survey shows that 63% ofemployers say that recent college graduates don't have the skills they need tosucceed and 25% of employers say that entry-level writing skills are lacking.Some simplistically attribute thedecline in our public education system to the drain of skilled students byprivate schools, but far more significant events were at work.Public schools worked well untilabout the 1970s.48．It was the underperforming students who werethrown out of public schools and went to private ones.A prominent reason public schoolsdid well was that many highly qualified women had few options for workingoutside the house other than being teachers or nurses. 49．Having such a large supply oftalented women teachers meant that society could pay less for their services.Women’s liberation opened up new professional opportunities fo r women, and,over time, some of the best left teaching as a career option, bringing about agradual decline in the quality of schooling.50．Large educationbureaucracies and unions came to dominate the landscape, confusing activitywith achievement. Bureaucrats regularly rewrite curriculums, talk nonsenseabout theories of education, and require ever more administrators. The endresult has been that, after all the spending, students have worse math andreading skills than both their foreign peers and earlier generations spendingfar less on education ---- as all the accumulating evidence has now documented.A．They accepted relatively low pay, difficult working conditions, and gave their very best.B．In fact, until that time, public schools provided far better education than private ones.C． Achievement tests have failed to truly reflect the quality of teaching.D． The heavy teaching loads left them little time and energy for family life.E.Also around that time, regulations, government, and unions came to dictate pay, prevent adjustments.F.Yet students showed no additional learning in achievement tests.五、读写任务51．SummaryWritingSociologists have long recognized that organization of less than 200individuals can operate through the free flow of information among the members.Once their size goes beyond this figure, the organizations are getting lessflexible. So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder resulting fromfailures of communication.One solution to this problem would, of course, be tostructure large organizations into smaller units of a size that can act as agroup. By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other, largerorganizations can be built up. However, merely having groups of, say, 150 willnever of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organization.Something else is needed: the people involved must be able to build directpersonal relationships. To allow free flow of information, they have to be ableto communicate with each other in a casual way. Maintaining too formal astructure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works.The importance of this was drawn to my attention twoyears ago by the case of a TV station. Whether by chance or by design, it sohappened that there were almost exactly 150 people in the station. The wholeprocess worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they weremoved into purpose-built accommodation. Then, for no apparent reason, the workseemed to be more difficult to do, not to say less satisfying.It was some time before they work out what the problemwas. It turn out that, when the architects were designing the new building,they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunchtimes was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it. And with that, theyaccidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the wholeorganization. What had apparently been happening was that, as people gatheredinformally over their sandwiches in the coffee room, useful information wascasually being exchanged. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________六、根据所给汉语意思完成句子Translation52．他和他的同学都不喜欢放学后补课。

For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.The First Space CatIn a few weeks,space scientists will celebrate a remarkable event---the60th anniversary of the launch of the first cat into space,an astronautical success that has never been repeated.In the early60s,dogs and monkeys were the animals usually used by scientists to find out exactly(21) dangerous the conditions were in outer space.And they were also used to assess if humans(22)survive trips beyond the edge of Earth's atmosphere.A total of14street cats(23)(gather)at France's space agency for selection as cat astronauts,but the cats were not given names on purpose in order to prevent scientists from becoming too fond of them.The cat selected to travel to space was simply known(24)C341.C341flew on a French rocket in October1963,taking it to a place(25)no cat had gone before.Then,(26)the news of its flight was announced on18October1963,the French press decided this cat had to have its name.They picked“Felix”after a cartoon cat character,only(27)(discover)that C341was female,so her name was then adjusted to“Felicette”as a result.In putting Felicette in one of its rockets,France added a new species to the list of animals that scientists(28)(send)into space before.Previously,two garden spiders, Anita and Arebella,had been taken to the Skylab(29)(orbit)around the moon.“In the60s,(30)(concern)about the possible danger for a human to be in outer space,scientists and engineers primarily undertook animal space flights to see if they suffered or their lives were threatened by the weightlessness or increased radiation or other effects they might experience up there,”said astronomer Jake Foster at the Royal Observatory Greenwich.“The fact that they did not fail paved the way for humans to begin journeys into space.”Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.unanticipatedB.momentsC.evolvedD.basicallyE.exploredF.clearlyG.navigateH.ritualsI.integral J.access K.inspiringBoat of PowerDragon boat racing began in China more than2,000years ago as part of a cultural community event to memorize the ancient poet,Qu Yuan.The traditional holiday was a time to perform31for good fortune and well-being,and to drive off evil spirits.Over time,dragon boat racing32into a global sport.The Toronto-based Dragons Abreast team stands out at this sport for a few reasons.For one,the79-member team includes people ranging in age from30to93.Prior to joining Dragons Abreast,some members hadn't been part of a sports team since childhood and wouldn't have described themselves as particularly athletic ones.And what has brought these women together is something33---living with breast cancer.The breast cancer survivors on this team are in the same boat in every way.For many,being part of a community that knows34how life changes after breast cancer is as beneficial as the physical gains.The team offers a supportive space to35all the complexities of survivorship.“I was so surprised at how36the racing was for me,”says Liz Johnston Hill,the race coordinator for Dragons Abreast.“It's almost overwhelming how people encourage,no matter what.”Being out on the water and connecting to the environment is an important aspect of dragon boating for many of the team members.They talk about how it provides37of peace and encourages mindfulness,something we could all use more of in our lives.Outside of dragon boat,the members are a(n)38part of each other's life.“We've all been through39the same thing in our various ways,”says the race coordinator Liz Johnston Hill.While the number of breast cancer survivor teams grows,barriers to the sport remain such as cost,time,40to water and practice facilities and the lack of cultural and language diversity.But there are ongoing efforts to introduce more people living with breast cancer to dragon boat.II.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.Like anything built by evolution,the human body has many downsides,teeth without exception.Adult humans only get one set of teeth,which must last about60years.However,a(n)41of poverty,sugar-rich diets and poor hygiene means2.5bn people globally suffer from tooth decay,in which acid produced by mouth-living bacteria eats away the hard enamel(牙釉质)that42the outside of a tooth,leading to further infection and damage.Once decay has set in, all a dentist can do is to fill the gap with artificial filling.But in a paper published in Cell,Hannele Ruohola-Baker,a stem-cell biologist at the University of Washington,and her colleagues offer a possible43.Stem cells have the44to turn themselves into any other type of cell in the body.It may soon be possible,the researchers claim,to use those45cells to regrow a tooth's enamel naturally.The first step was to work out how enamel is produced.As enamel-making cells,known as ameloblasts,disappear soon after a person's adult teeth have finished growing,the researchers46samples of tissue from human foetuses(胚胎),which contain plenty of functioning ameloblasts.47,they checked to see which genes were especially active in the enamel-producing cells.It turned out that genes designed to bind to calcium were particularly busy.48that information,Dr Ruohola-Baker and her colleagues next checked to see whether the stem cells could be persuaded to49ameloblasts.The team devised various drugs designed to activate the genes expressed in functioning ameloblasts.That worked,with the engineered ameloblasts producing the same proteins as the natural sort.For now,the work is more concept than a medical treatment.The next step is to boost enamel production further, with a view to50beginning clinical trials.The hope is that,one day,medical versions of the team's findings could be used as biological implants,to51a patient's decayed teeth.Stem-cell-based therapies are not the only ones heading to clinical trials.Another treatment,known as biomimetic repair,involves rebuilding the tooth crown using synthetic(人工合成的)proteins,which are similar,but not quite 52,to human enamel.The proteins could be included in toothpaste and even cough drops.But synthetic formulations can be less53than human enamel.It will take time for either technology to become reality.One question is how durable the enamel made by stem-cell-derived ameloblasts is.Another is how best to deliver the stem cells to a patient’s mouth.But these findings are

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the1950s in Arizona,watching westerns on his family's20-inch black-and-white TV,he would climb right up to the screen,as if to surround himself with the image.He also wished he could see these moving pictures in color.So he searched through his family's collection of slides quickly,having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn grayed-out western skies blue,or the ground to a realistic-looking green.Sometimes his mom walked in,and she saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set.Often,she would say,“You're going to burn your eyes out!”Spielberg's mom,like all the other50s moms who said the same thing,was wrong about that.But we all know what she must have been thinking:Who is this child?If you've seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past50years or so---Jaws Schindler's Lisl,E.T---you have some sense of who this child grew up to be.And when you see his new film,The Fabelmans,a work of astonishing vividness that's drawn from his own family's story,you'll know even more.Movies have been around for roughly130 years;Spielberg's career has covered more than a third of that.Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It's a jetway for a new beginning.Not every75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this.Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early1970s,Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent clip.Yet his career is extraordinary in any context.He's made some box-office disappointments,but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard,probablybecause there isn't one.No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship,to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.56.How did Spielberg's mom feel when she saw her son's behavior in front of the TV set?A.Proud but upset.B.Surprised but supportive.C.Annoyed and desperate.D.Worried and confused.57.Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg's career is regarded as extraordinary?A.He showed great interest in filming at a very young ageB.His career covers more than a third of the movie history.C.He is committed to filming ordinary things from new perspectives.D.His films are all well-made despite some box-office disappointments58.What can be inferred about Spielberg's new film The Fabelmans?A.It's the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.B.It has been integrated with part of his growing experience.C.It represents a totally brand new type of film theme.D.It established Spielberg as the most influential filmmaker.59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Curiosity makes success.B.Daring to be different.C.A giant in filmmaking.D.A ground-making new film.(B)“A reader lives a thousand lives before he

internal forces that generate Earth’s magnetic field(磁场)can change and that the strength of the field swings over time.This can lead to gradual shifts in the intensity and location of Earth's magnetic north and south poles and even reversals where Earth's magnetic poles trade places.But are these geomagnetic events responsible for extreme weather,extinction,and even disasters?Claims that Earth’s magnetic field is responsible for climate change are widespread online,but scientists say the theory has no basis.“At this time there aren't any credible mechanisms that could make it a possibility,”says Gavin Schmidt,a climatologist in New York."It's not that we're ruling out magnetic effects on climate without thinking about it,we collectively have thought about it,and it's been found devoid.There are three north poles on Earth:true north,geomagnetic north,and magnetic north.True north is a fixed position on the globe that points directly towards the geographic North Pole.But geomagnetic north,currently located over Canada's Ellesmere Island,is not a fixed point---it represents the northern axis(轴)of Earth's magnetosphere and shifts from time to time.Magnetic north corresponds to magnetic field lines and is what your compass locates.During a pole reversal,Earth's magnetic north and south poles exchange locations.This happens on average every 300,000years or so,but the last reversal occurred around780.000years ago.Some scientists have assumed that reversals and the corresponding decrease in strength of the magnetic field could cause a big problem that increased solar radiation was able to enter Earth’s atmosphere,altering ozone levels and driving global climate shifts and extinctions.Kirk Johnson,a director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History,has spent much of his career studying the extinction of dinosaurs.While analyzing fossil records and timelines surrounding his research,Johnson zeroed in on the magnetic reversal that occurred around66.3million years ago.Deep ocean samples revealed significant climate change around66.3million years ago.But this also coincides with a large volcanic eruption in India called the Deccan volcanism,which produced some of the longest lava(熔岩)flows on Earth.“We've always owed that transition to the carbon dioxide released by the Deccan volcanism and the increase of greenhouse gases,”says Johnson.“There are two things happening:The magnetic field is changing,the Deccan volcanism is happening,and there's climate warming.So that would be an example of coincidental climate change.”63.The underlined word“devoid”in paragraph2probably means.A.fruitlessB.obviousC.reasonableD.misleading64.Which north pole on earth is involved in the pole reversal?A.True north.B.Geomagnetic north.C.Magnetic north.D.Geographic north65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The geomagnetic events are to blame for the climate change.B.The decrease in strength of the magnetic field resulted in extinction.C.The magnetic field is changing all the time with the climate warming.D.Internal forces which produce Earth's magnetic field can alter over time66.Which of the following statements does Kirk Johnson most probably agree with?A.A magnetic reversal doesn't necessarily cause climate change.B.A magnetic reversal is accompanied with significant climate changeC.The extinction of the dinosaurs is due to the magnetic reversal.D.Climate change is not relevant to the carbon dioxide emission.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.While these villages possess undeniable fascination,many remain underdeveloped.B.This effort includes the knowledge exchange between the students and local villagersC.Both were selected for revitalization efforts led by the Village Revitalization Team.D.In Sukarara,a local tradition requires girls master weaving skills before marriageE.They decide to be a bridge between tradition and progress,united for their growthF.It's about preserving the cultural heritage and ensuring traditions being passed downStudents’Journey to Empower Rural HeritageFrom Aug.18to22a team of15Tsinghua University students,representing diverse backgrounds from China,South Korea,Malaysia,and Indonesia,set foot on an overseas research exploration focusing on rural revitalization(振兴)in Indonesian villages,particularly within Nusa Tenggara Barat(NTB).With the diverse cultural heritage,Indonesia is home to over83,000villages,each radiating its own charm and character.67The research mission took the students to Sukarara and Sade villages,two of NTB's tourist destinations.68 Sukarara and Sade are a world apart from the busy cities to which most of us are accustomed.The villages are a living test to Indonesia's rich culture and its devotion to preserving traditions.The Revitalizing these villages goes beyond mere economic development.69The weaving skills and architectural techniques of Sukarara and Sade villages are not only beautiful,but they are also an inseparable part to the identity of these communities.It's essential that they strike a balance between progress and preservation.As the journey came to an end,the students carry with them not only the memories of their experiences there,but also the responsibility to make a positive impact on these remarkable places.70They are optimistic that Indonesian villages can experience meaningful development,ultimately leading to increased opportunities for employment and an improved quality of life.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than e your own words as far as possible.How to Be a Better BossWorkplaces have changed dramatically over the past few years.Teams have become more isolated owing to remote work.Technology has brought great benefits but also constant interruptions,from endless Zoom calls to message flows on Slack.With each shift,the job of the manager has become harder.Many report feeling burnt-out,overloaded and confused.Yet in real life everyone suffers when management is bad and benefits when it is good Research based on a long-running survey of management techniques has found that well-managed firms tend to be more productive,export more and spend more on research and development.So the prize for better management is big.But how to obtain it?Read enough management books and you might conclude that managers need to change their personality thoroughly,becoming either Machiavelli's prince or a Marvel superhero.However,study successful managers,and more practical lessons can be drawn.One is to be clear about a firm's processes.Managers should make clear the purpose of a team,what a meeting should achieve and who will take a decision.Meeting agendas at GSK,a British drugs firm,clearly say whether an item is for awareness,to gather participants'input or intended to make a decision.Such clarity means that everyone knows what they are doing,and why.Management isn't all about piling up tasks,meetings or processes.A second lesson is that managers can add value by deleting.Sparing workers from pointless meetings,emails and projects frees them to concentrate on the work that fattens the bottom line.At the start of the year,Shopify,an e-commerce firm,deleted12,000repeated meetings from its employees’calendars.The useful ones were eventually added back.But the firm says that meetings are down by14% since the mass deletion while productivity has gone up by a similar amount.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.穿着睡衣去超市不太合适，不是吗?(It)73.这副山水画的灵感来源于王维的诗集。

It is considered the cultural center of Bali, where you will discover the art and spirit ofBaliand learn about Balinese religion through paintings, dance, and other art forms. You could drink a beer while watching a local band perform, but most people come here for the cultural appreciation.Nusa LembonganThis tiny island off the coast of Bali is where many people miss their journey plans, but it is a must-see, It is the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights, The roads are not good, but the island itself is so beautiful and quiet.SanurSanur is an especially relaxing beach town. It's close to the airport and Kuta. It's also the starting place to explore Nusa Lembongan.KutaThebeachofKutais great for surfing. It is crowded and you won't get far without someone trying to get you to rent a surfboard or buy something. The main town is a mixture of market stands and shopping malls containing the biggest brands, from Zara to Ralph Lauren. The familiarity of the western style shops and restaurants won't give anyone too much of a culture shock.1. Which place are you probably advised to experience Balinese culture?A. Nusa Lembongan.B. Sanur.C. Ubud.D. Kuta.2. What is special about Kuta?A. It is a beach town near the airport.B. It has a convenient transportation means on it.C. It is a shopping center and famous for surfing.D. It is a place where you can learn Balinese history.3. Where is the text probably taken from?A. An official document.B. A travel magazine.C. A science report.D. A history book.BYou’re in a crowd of people who are all asking for the same thing. How do you make your voice heard above the rest? Be different. Don’t shout. Lisa, 25, was waiting to board a plane flying fromLondontoAustriafor Christmaswhen the flight was cancelled.“There were about a hundred of us unable to leave,” she says. “Everyone else was shouting at the airport staff. Instead of joining in, I walked up to the man behind the ticket desk very quietly and said, ‘This must be so awful for you! I don’t know how you deal with these situations—it’s not even your fault. I could never handle it as well as you are.’ Without my even asking, he found me a seat on another airline with an upgrade to first class. He was happy to do a favor forsomeone who was appreciative instead of unfriendliness.”Flattery (恭维) is an essential element of the sweet-talk strategy. “It’s human psychology that stroking a person’s ego (自我) with a few well-directed praises makes them want to prove you right,” says apsychologist. “Tell someone they’re pretty and they’ll instantly fix their hair; praise their sense of humor and they’ll tell a joke.”You need help and there’s ly no reason that the person will want to lend a hand. Allison, 26. a lawyer, realized she’d made a huge mistake on a batch of documents. “The only way I could fix the problem was to get the help of a colleague who I knew didn’t like me,” she said.Allison then went to the woman’s office and explained her problem. “As I was saying to the boss the other day you’re the only person who would know how to handle a situation like this, what would you suggest I do?” “Feeling pumped up (鼓励), she set about helping me and we finished the job on time, and she was happy to help.” Allison said.4.

The value of humor in daily life.7. What can we learn about Allison’s colleague?A. She was a popular lawyer.B. She was always ready to help others.C. She always got praise from Allison.D. She did a great favor for Allison eventually.CThe idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recentlystruck a chord withmany young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.Many millennials (千禧一代) and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes (纷争) and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution (内卷),” joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.“Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis (宣泄) and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage (按揭) today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”Interestingly, the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale (士气) far beyond their reach.“Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”8. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean?A. Warned.B. Criticized.C. Touched.D. Amused.9. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young?A. Improvements in living conditions.B. Growing pressure from family and social life.C. Increasing material possessions from families.D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.10. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group?A. Understanding.B. Intolerant.C.Supportive.D. Unclear.11. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text?A. They never really drop their responsibilities.B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle.C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach.D. They would rather escape than take challenges.DJohn Montefiore's path to graduation from theUniversityofTorontowas a little unusual. He recently completed his bachelor's degree(学士学位) which he started in1995.Montefiore left university in 1996 and tried to tell himself that a degree wasn't necessary for personal success. But it remained unfinished businessuntil he made the decision to return in 2018 at the age 42. At that time, his job development stalled, so he made up his mind to go back to school in order to improve himself and work well in future.The second time around, Montefiore never missed a class and always sat in the front row. He found many courses invaluable and he received the Award of Excellence twice. He found support services played an important role in his successful return. He said, “I hadn't written a paper for years, so I found the college writing centre to be of great use. Before I handed in a paper, they would give me feedback, which was really great. The university has so much built in to help students succeed and I'm so thankful for that.” But he also met difficulties this time. As a student much older than others, he found it harder to make friends with classmates.However, no matter what had happened before, he finally got his bachelor's degree. He said, “After all these years, I had thought it wouldn't mean anything, but it means a lot. I totally understand the value of education now. It's not necessarily the value that other people see in it, but the value it gives me as a person, for my confidenceand my self-esteem. It also helps me prepare well before I re-enter the workplace.”12. Why was Montefiore's graduation unusual?A. He had achieved personal success before.B. He understood the importance of a degree.C. He finished his degree at a much older age.D. He began his university study at a young age.13. What does the underlined word "stalled" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Stopped.B. Started.C. Survived.D. Succeeded.14. What can we learn about Montefiore from the third paragraph?A. He got good grades very easily.B. He took his study seriously this timeC. He was thankful for his classmates' helpD. He had difficulty using support services.15. What did Montefiore learn from his experience?A. Confidence is important in one's life.B. Others' opinions on education matter a lot.C. Higher education is a must for personal success.D. Education makes one feel better about himself.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

2013届（2012学年）上海市高三英语一模——完形填空（长宁）All over the world, people admire the beauty and grace of butterflies. Butterflies come in every color imaginable, and their 50 display an incredible variety of patterns. The largest butterfly, Queen Alexandra’s Birdwing, has a wingspan (翼展) of up to 280 millimeters and lives in Papua New Guinea. The smallest, the Western Pygmy Blue in the southern U.S., has a wingspan of only 12 millimeters. Sadly, some of these beautiful creatures are now 51 .Estimates indicate that between 15 and 20 thousand species of butterflies exist around the world. A number of these species are endangered, over 20 in Japan 52 . Although that number may seem small, losing even one species would be 53 . Nowadays scientists even look to butterflies as a 54 of the environment’s health, since they are 55 to environmental changes. Many environmentalists around the world are eager to protect the endangered butterflies from extinction. The American Museum of Natural History in New York, for example, has an unusual butterfly exhibit.

Wanna go back?”The research on animal intelligence raises important questions. If animals are smarter than __62__ thought, would that change the way humans interact with them? Would animals still be used for food, clothing, or __63__ experimentation? Finding the answer to these tough questions makes a difficult __64__ even for a large-brained, problem-solving species like our own.50. A. developed B. admitted C. programmed D. injected51.

This special sign-language is frequently 50 by tramps to informtheir 51 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 52 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.Quite 53 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be in, old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into pieces.But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 54 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 55 a funny turn, laid a small parcel 56 the front gate, and began 57 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 58 , for the tramp’s face lit up with satisfaction. He entered the front gate 59 and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him raise his hat 60 couldn’t hear his words. The 61 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face.I felt 62 for him as he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and shook his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 63 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the existing sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his belongings, pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 64 , whistling as he went along.50.

Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to __50__ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that __51__ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, motivation, self-confidence, and — most important of all — __52__. Even people who were not thought to be 53__ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels __54__ considered attainable (可获得的) only by gifted individuals. ‘Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid of it,”they said.This theory —a dramatic __55__ with traditional beliefs —has been __56__ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of __57__ in these people before any parental encouragement. No case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without __58__ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented — whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports — have needed lengthy periods of instruction and practice to achieve their highest level of success. ‘The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising __59__ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observer’s view,’ stated one scientist.The importance of practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be __60__ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are __61__ for success in long-distance running are largely the result of extended practice in running.‘What makes a genius then?’ one may ask. __62__, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that ‘nurture’ is at least as important as ‘nature.’ __63__, a supportive environment will do far more for a child’s prospects of success than any inborn gifts. T his is a message that most of us will find __64__ —even if we haven’t won the gene lottery, our fate is still in our own hands.50. A. make B. challenge C. support D. dismiss51.

In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have 50 tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are 51when it comes to health. For weight loss, many people 52 the high-protein, low-carbohydrate (碳水化合物) diets. However, such diets might have 53 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.In the study, UK researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carbohydrate diet created certain 54 in the colon that could lead to colon cancer risk. The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the 55 of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.Diets 56 high in protein and lower in carbohydrates have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “People should not be 57 from losing weight,” Dr Flint said.58 , he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber (纤维) and a high protein over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.The findings are based on seventeen overweight men who 59 three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with 60 amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbohydrates.On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as N-nitrous compounds (亚硝基化合物) that have been61 cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds (源自纤维的混合物) thought to be protective against 62 .Exactly what those changes might mean for a person’s health is 63 ; But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be aware of consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. 64 , experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day—though it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.50.
