第I卷(选择题)一、阅读理解:本大题共16小题,共38分。
AA Midsummer Night's Dream may be one of Shakespeare's most performed play—but its latest version from the Royal Shakespeare Company will be unlike any seen before.Titled Dream,the 50-minute online production combines live performance with motion-capture (动作捕捉)technology,3 D graphics,and interactive gaming techniques that let audiences remotely guide the leading character Puck through a virtual forest.As live theater put some seriously high-tech fairy (小精灵)factors into practice,Dream promises to bring the rarest version of the play to our screens.In 2016,the theater's production of The Tempest used live motion-capture technology to create a 3 D digital image that was projected above the stage.The difference this time is that everything in the play—the performers and their surroundings—will be shown virtually.Seven actors will perform in a specially-built studio in Portsmouth,southern England,wearing motion-capture suits.They will be surrounded by a 360-degree camera set,made up of 47 cameras with every movement almost immediately presented digitally,which is presented to viewers online.With its much-reduced characters,Dream is not a complete production of A Midsummer Night's Dream;rather,it is a story inspired by it,focusing on Puck and the fairies.Up to 2,000 audience members for each performance can become part of the show and will be invited to guide Puck through the forest.Onscreen,the chosen audience will appear as a cloud of tiny fireflies (萤火虫).By using their mouse or finger on the screen of a smart device,they will be able to move their firefly across the screen,and Puck will be at their beck and call to go through the virtual space.For viewers watching at home,the virtual fairies moving through adigital forest will look more like a video game than the average Royal Shakespeare Company show.But the performances are delivered live and in real time.Every night's performance will be unique."Without the fireflies—the audiences—Puck wouldn't be going anywhere," said E.M.Williams who plays the role. "The audiences are very much the fuel and the energy of the show."1.What makes Dream different from The Tempest?______A. The number of actors and actresses.B. The surroundings around the performers.C. The 3 D digital image it chooses to show.D. The way it presents everything in the play.2.Which aspect of the play does Paragraph 3 focus on?______A. Its leading characters.B. The design of its content.C. Its production process.D. The inspiration for the play.3.What does the underlined part "be at their beck and call" in the last but one paragraph mean?______A. Be willing to guide them.B. Be likely to receive a call.C. Be difficult to control.D. Be ready to follow their order.4.What do E.M.Williams' words in the last paragraph show?______A. The cost of the show.B. The pleasure of the audiences.C. The importance of the audiences.D. The task of the leading character.BIt had always been assumed that the rarity of lightning in ocean storms was due to cleaner air over the vast seas,but keen observations have shown that even highly polluted air is associated with reduced lightning at sea when sea spray aerosols(气溶胶)are abundant.In their paper published in the journal Nature Communications,an international team of researchers describes their multi-year study of atmospheric conditions over the oceans bordering Africa and what it showed about salt in sea spray aerosols and its impact on lightning.The researchers obtained atmospheric data on Africa and the oceans around it for the period 2013 to 2017.The data included numbers of lightning flashes,rainfall,temperatures and cloud representations.They looked for differences in atmospheric conditions in storms that occurred over land versus those that occurred over the sea and found one main difference:the amount of salt in the air.Lightning is produced when upwardly moving air in clouds forms ice crystals(冰晶)—aerosol particles then begin to bump into one another,creating an electrical charge.Lightning happens when the electrical field in one part of the cloud becomes positively charged (usually at the top of the cloud)and another negatively charged (usually at the bottom of the cloud).And clouds form,of course,when vapor evaporates(蒸发)from the surface of the Earth and the water drops bond with aerosols.The researchers found that things are slightly different over the ocean.When water evaporates from the sea,it bears a load of salt.When the salt water bonds with aerosols to form water droplets,they tend to be bigger and heavier than those that form over land due to the salt—and that results in more of the water in the clouds falling as rain before it can rise up and form ice crystals.The result is far fewer lightning discharges.The researchers suggest their findings could be useful in improving the accuracy of both climate models and meteorological reports.It could also possibly lead some to attempt to seed storm clouds with salt to reduce their severity.5.What is the common belief of lightning over oceans?______A. Lightning pollutes the remote sea.B. Polluted air leads to less lightning at sea.C. Cleaner air results in less lightning at sea.D. Cleaner air contributes to more lightning at sea.6.How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3?______A. By presenting facts.B. By listing similarities.C. By giving examples.D. By making comparisons.7.How do water droplets on land differ from those at sea?______A. They drop much faster.B. They contain more water.C. They are bigger and heavier.D. They are smaller and lighter.8.What can be the best title for the text?______A. Salt in Sea Spray Worsens Storms over the Sea.B. Salt in Sea Spray Keeps Lightning Strikes Away.C. Lightning Strikes Are More Common over Oceans.D. Sea Spray Is Found Evaporating Faster over Oceans.CAround seven out of every ten Americans who work in offices do their work in an open environment,defined as at desks without meaningful partitions (隔板),according to an International Facility Management Association survey.Thatis,if they even have a desk——workers may be assigned only a few feet of a communal(共用的)table.The open-plan office space trend,popularized by creative agencies and technology start-ups,went mainstream because of the belief that open-space environments support innovation.More nearness between employees,the thinking went,would create more interaction and teamwork,promote social interaction and urge productivity.But in fact,purely open-plan offices have been shown to have the opposite effects,creating so much distraction(分心)that employees stayed away from each other.A study funded by Harvard Business Sehaol,the results of which were published last year,tracked what happened when a British company moved its employees from traditional office space,with offices with walls,to an open office.Face-to-face interaction became less——employees spent 72 percent less time interacting with their colleagues.Instead of talking more with each other,the employees put on headphones and began communicating by text and email.As digital communication channels surged,productivity declined. Neuroscience also holds some clues as to why the tight quarters in communal work spaces——where workers are only given about half the space they were given a decade ago——are so hard to work in. "The human voice sets off the most powerful emotional response in our auditory(听觉的)experience.Voice above 55 decibels(分贝)—— roughly the sound of a loud phone call——causes measurable stress," according to a Wall Street Journal article,"The Neuroscience-Optimized Office"."Even more troublesome are overheard 'halfversations',in which the listener only knows about one side of a dialogue;our brains automatically imagine the other," wrote authors John Medina and Ryan Mullenix.But the solution,say experts including Newport,isn't to go back to putting everyone into offices with walls.9.What can we learn about the open office trend according to paragraph 1?______A. It allows 10 people at most to work together.B. It is believed to stimulate workers' creativity.C. It is only popular with new technology companies.D. It is aimed at promoting workers' social interaction.10.What does the underlined word"surged"in paragraph 2 probably mean?______A. Suspended timely.B. Became useless.C. Cost less.D. Increased quickly.11.What makes an open office hard to work in?______A. Hearing endless noisy phone calls.B. Showing real emotions publicly.C. Facing communication barriers at work.D. Hearing part of a dialogue between colleagues.12.What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?______A. What are benefits of the open offices with walls.B. Why the open office makes workers distracted.C. How to deal with the disadvantages of the open office.D. How to draw workers' attention to their colleagues nearby.DDo you know the websites that let you name a star after your beloved one,your kid or your dog for a small fee?Yeah,those are all fake— you could pay me to "name" a star for ﹩50,and I'll take your money and show the name online.I'll even send you a fancy certificate!It seems that you've named a star,but it just doesn't count.Actually,the only organization that owns official naming rights is the International Astronomical Union,or the IAU.It was founded in 1919 and based in Paris,France.It is where astronomers and other professionals have reached the agreements and is the official record-keeping body for all discoveries in space.Recently they do open up an opportunity for the public to name a dozen of planets outside the solar system.These planets will be among the first to be studied with the James Webb Space Telescope.However,they currently only have boring and complicated documents that were used to find them.That's why the IAU is looking for something more interesting. But before you start naming the planets,you should know the rules.First,nothing is rude or annoying.Second,the name should be less than 16 characters long and pronounceable in at least one language with no commercial or business names and nothing is named after a living individual or a pet.The competition,named "Stars Worlds",is open next Thursday,January 20th.It's the third such contest the IAU has held,and the purpose is to get the public more interested in science as well as the organization.The competition also helps to break centuries of European dominance when it comes to naming things in the night sky.So people around the world can share the joy of discovery and make their mark in history.13.How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?______A. By listing figures.B. By taking an example.C. By offering a solution.D. By showing differences.14.What can we know about the IAU from the passage?______A. It was founded by France.B. It studies the space telescope.C. It organizes trips to the space.D. It has the right to name the stars.15.What is the last paragraph mainly about?______A. Why the competition is held.B. How the competition develops.C. What to expect in the competition.D. How to take part in the competition.16.Where is this passage most likely taken from?______A. A novel.B. A textbook.C. A diary.D. A magazine.二、阅读七选五:本大题共5小题,共10分。

Slowly but surely, it poured into 21 . E-mail is a 22 tool for college students at any level.It’s available 24 hours a day, 7days a week and 23 at holidays. Most universities assign students an account upon entrance, 24 there is usually not even an option (选择)You can do everything from consulting on homework and projects, 25 classmates, family and friends, and getting daily news services to 26 you informed of the world 27 . But, what are the 28 ?E-mail can be E-jail(监狱).

Create and organize your E-mail folders(文件夹)into important school-related mail, correspondence(通信)with friends and family, and a folder for jokes, horoscopes and other news services. 36 put the mail into the proper folders first, and whenyou’ve finished, head for the important E-mail first and, 37 you have time, you can get to the others.38 your friends from forwarding those tiresome joke lists, sex quizzes, and chain mails. The moment you 39 you’ve got one, delet e it 40 so you won’t be tempted to read it.Ⅳ阅读理解(40分)America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways-education, medicine and business. Quietly, the graying(老龄化)of America has made us a very different society—one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage of health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say,“I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.”No one says “Act your age”any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.41. It can be learned from the text that aging of the population in America .A. has made people feel younger.B. has changed people’s social positionC. has changed people’s understanding of ageD. has slowed down the country’s social development42. The underlined word “one”refers to .A. a societyB. AmericaC. a placeD. population43. “Act your age”means people should .A. be active when they are oldB. do the right thing at the right ageC. show respect to their parents young or oldD. take more physical exercises suitable to their age44. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it .A. normalB. wonderfulC. unbelievableD. unreasonableBParents should s top blaming themselves because there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful,reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself(懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,”she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across theB. lifeB. changeable B. stillB. soB. getting to touch B. keepB. incidentsB. mistakesB. costB. becauseB. OrB. such likeB. marked with B. necessaryB. markB. AlwaysB. althoughB. WatchB. check upB. immediatelyC. our livesC. favorableC. everC. becauseC. losing touch withC. leavingC. eventsC. wrongsC. takeC. sinceC. ButC. for exampleC. filled withC. practicalC. gradeC. AlmostC. sinceC. DiscourageC. findC. afterD. us lifeD. usableD. yetD. except thatD. keeping in touch withD. leaveD. thingsD. disadvantagesD. payD. whenD.

A. latertabel, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.” One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.“Where did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.45. This text is most probably written by .A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage childrenD. a doctor for mental health problems46. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to .A. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a childB. the way that parents ofter blame themselvesC. the opinion that a child has of his parentsD. the advice that parents want their children to follow47. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as .A. lazyB. quietC. unusualD. rude48. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters .A. pay not attention to themB. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate themD. feel helpless to do much about themCIt’s 2035. You have a job, a family and you’ve about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life.Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, “Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronic are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not ever middle-aged.As you go into the kitche n and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that,” from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. “Kitch en, what can I have for breakfast?” A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies.“Ready for your trip to space. You ask your son and daughter.” In 2005 only speci ally trained astronauts went into space — and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.” Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.It’s time for you to got to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. “My office. Autopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer. Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it.49. What changes the colour of your shirt?A. The mirrorB. The shirt itselfC. The counterD. The medicine.50. How do the shoes know that you shouldn’t eat the breakfast cereal?A. By pouring the breakfast into a bowl.B. By listening to the doctor’s advice.C. By testing the food supplies in the kitchen.D. By checking the nutrition details of the food.51. The strawberries the children eat serve as .A. breakfastB. lunchC. vaccinesD. nutrition52. How is the text organized?A. In order of timeB. In order of frequency.C. In order of preference.D. In order of importanceDI was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994., but I can remember my mother’s words as if it were yesterday: “Kerrel, I don’t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be careful when you are around him.”AIDS wasn’t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father’s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look ater him.We couldn’t afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and ofter couldn’t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the tea cher’s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.I did not share my burden(负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be crues. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his cindition a secret. I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me.

You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and not to say that it was quite right; you needn’t worry about being refused time after time; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentences over and over again; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike…I did this work for a month, then I decided to give it up. Apart from the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse.Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my clas smates in college activities. Sometimes I felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning money it came at great cost.Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also keeping high scores in class. But according to my experience, part-time work can have some strong negative influences on study.Most students don’t view the relationship between study an d work correctly. In my opinion, if it isn’t a must for financial(财政的) reasons, students should be cautious (careful) about taking up a part-time job.57. From the text, we can tell that the writer is .A. an unemployed manB. a middle-school studentC. a college studentD. a door-to-door salesman58. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”?A. losingB. wastingC. usingD. getting59. In the writer’s opi nion, .A. to do a part-time job was unnecesaaryB. part-time jobs had good effect upon study.C. it was hard to deal with the relationship between study and work correctly.D. part-time jobs would be good for every college student60. What would be the best title for the text?A. Part-time Jobs Are UsefulB. Part-time Jobs Can Coat DearC. Students shouldn’t Take Part-time JobsD. Part-time Jobs are Important to Many StudentsⅤ补全对话(5分)—61— I have been to Hong Kong.

How was your first week away at college?W: Well, I have to say that dormitory living has some major negatives?M: Like what?W: It’s kind of disgusting to have to share a bathroom with other people, and some of my neighbors party on school nights. The other night, I had my first exam, and I was trying to get a good night’s sleep, but it was impossible — they were so noisy.M: Yeah, that sure sounds like dorm life!

According to the report, 2021 was probably one of the 10 warmest years since 1850.The report shows temperatures in different areas of the world. The report says most of the world’s land areas had temperatures higher than normal for nine months in 2021, from January to September. Australia had a very strong heat wave. Record high temperatures were also reported in parts of North America and north Africa. The report says record-breaking rainfall and snow fell in many parts of North America. Many scientists are worried about carbon dioxide, which stays in the atmosphere for centuries. However, the report calls for reducing pollutants that do not last as long. It says methane, for example, disappears after about 12 years. Black carbon from open-fire cook stoves stays in the air for just days or weeks. These pollutants speed up warming.I’ve decided to do what I can to help prevent global warming. For example, I’ve decided to stop asking my father to drive me to school from tomorrow on. Instead, I’ll take the bus or ride a bike. I hope we can all do our best to help prevent global warming.创作人:历恰面日期:2020年1月1日创作人:历恰面日期:2020年1月1日。

ABig Space Events To Put In Your Calendar For2022MAY—CHINA*SPACE STATION GETS BIGGERMay will see the launch of a new module for the Tiangong space station,China's"Palace in the sky”.Its first core module,Tianhe was launched last April.The next module will be Wentian,a laboratory expected to launch between May and June.It will also serve as a backup core module and the place where future spacewalks from the taikonauts will take place.It will be followed by a second laboratory module,Mengtian,in August-September. JUNE—INDIA'S SPACECRAFT TAKES ITS FIRST FLIGHTISRO,the Indian Space Research Organization,has announced that Gaganyaan(which translates to Sky Craft)will have is first unscrewed fight in June.The craft is panned to be a key vehicle in the Indian Human Spaceflight Program and,all going well in this test;it will be followed by a crewed test next year.JULY—RUSSIA EYES THE MOONAGAINRussia's Luna program had many successes with landers,rovers,and even sample returns,and Luna25is expected to follow in that tradition according to Russian Space Agency,Roscomos.The mission this fine is just a lander expected to touch down near the Lunar South Pole with instruments designed to study the soil.The location might be a possible area of interest for a permanent base on the Moon.AUGUST—MORE LUNAR MISSIONSAugust will see the launch of the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter,a panned lunar orbiter by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI).This will be the first Korean Lunar Mission,a technology demonstration for KARI.21.Which country will carry out multiple space tasks this year?A.China.B.India.C.Russia.D.Korea22.What do we know about Luna25?A.It will operate in low lunar orbit.B.It will take a land on the Moon.C.It will serve as a permanent base.D.It will take its first crewed flight.23.When is the first Korean Lunar Mission scheduled?A.In May.B.In June.C.In July.D.In AugustBA recent story in the Wall Street Journal newspaper looked at students who went to celebrated universities such asColumbia and New York University,for advanced degrees in subjects like art,film and even social work.Many of the students said they learned a lot.However,when they graduated,they were deep in debt and did not think they would find work that would let them pay back their loans.Students said they spoke with Columbia about the high cost of advanced arts degrees but never received a reasonable cation experts say the school is very wealthy,with large funds.The University,however, prefers to ask the students to pay the full cost.Kevin Carey is a higher education expert for New America,a public policy research center.He called master's degrees"a scam“in a conversation."Charging people a ton of money to go into any artistic career is often super problematic,he said.Castillo is an actor in New York City.He earned an MFA from The Actors Studio in New York City.Was his MFA worth the cost?"I do think it was worth it.I don't put a price tag on my education or my experience.I think it's sort of unfortunate that so many people take education for granted.Castillo said students who are thinking about an advanced degree in art should be sure they are doing it because they value the education,not because they want money or to be famous.Plazinska is a filmmaker in New York City.She attended graduate school both at Baylor University in Texas and at the University of Lowa.Arts graduate programs can help students meet and make friends with fellow artists with whom they can work throughout their careers.For school to be of value,students need to remember why they started making art in the beginning."It's just for the pure pleasure of creating and fulfilling myself this way.”24.What's the problem for students in famous universities for art advanced degrees?A.They can't take loans.B.They can't find any work.C.They may be heavily in debt.D.They may drop out of university.25.What does the underlined word"scam"in paragraph3mean?A.Way.B.Trick.C.Skill.D.Game.26.What does Castillo think of his MFA?A.He thinks highly of it.B.It's a waste of money.C.He takes it for granted.D.It brings him fame and money.27.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A.Arts graduate programs ensure a promising future.B.Students had better consider whether they can afford the fee.C.Arts graduate programs introduce celebrity artists to their students.D.Students should stick to their original purposes while learning.COxygen,I'm sure you'd agree,is pretty important for life on Earth.We breathe it in,our cells survive on it and without it,we hardly live.Basically,all multicellular life on Earth evolved over millions of years to make use of oxygen.But take a deep breath,because we need to talk about Henneguya salminicola,a tiny parasite(寄生虫)containing fewer than100cells that lives within the muscle tissue of salmon,a large fish with silver skin and pink flesh. The strange-looking parasite does not busy itself with such small matters as breathing oxygen.Nope,it seems that H.salminicola is the first multicellular animal we've found that survives without the stuff.“Aerobic respiration(有氧口乎吸)was thought to be commonly found in animals,but now we confirmed that this is not the case,“said Dorothee Huchon,a zoologist at Tel Aviv University in Israel,in a press release.Huchon and a team of international researchers examined and sequenced(排序)all of.salmincola’s genes in their study,published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.They found that the parasite,which is closely related to jellyfish,lacks the DNA machinery necessary to“breathe'Mt doesn't'have mitochondria(线粒体),often called the"powerhouse"of the cell,because they use oxygen to make energy.It's like a little factory inside almost all cells,and DNA detectives can find mitochondrial genes during sequencing.The discovery came as something of an accident for the team,who were examining the genome(the complete set of genes)of the species.When they went searching for the mitochondrial genes,they came up empty-handed."Our discovery shows that evolution can go in strange directions,Huchon said."Aerobic respiration is a major source of energy,and yet we found an animal that gave up this important pathway.”Some single-celled life forms have evolved the ability to survive without oxygen and do not have mitochondria, either.Plenty of bacteria can exist without oxygen at all.Instead of oxygen,they get their energy from fernentation(发酵)or use other molecules like iron.But how H.salminicola produces energy is still unclear.Huchon suggests it could draw oxygen from the cells in salmon or it could have evolved similar methods to those of single-celled organisms which scientists have documented in the past.28.What can we learn about Henneguya salminicola?A.It is an animal consisting of a cell.B.It can still survive without oxygen.C.It takes on a normal appearance.D.It has a longer life span than salmon.29.What is the main function of mitochondria?A.To make cells breathe fast.B.To help to produce oxygen.C.To provide energy for cells.D.To help cells absorb oxygen.30.How did Huchon probably feel about the discovery?A.Interested.B.Satisfied.C.Astonished.D.Frightened.31.What could be the most suitable title for the text?A.The natural evolution of animal cellsB.Different kinds of life forms on earthC.A research on single-celled organismsD.A creature that doesn't breathe oxygenDIn these days of information overload,it's never been more important to keep track of and back up your data.The problem is that digital storage doesn't last forever.Hard disks fail,phones tumble out of our pockets,and tablets are beaten up by grandchildren.This is why it is important to think carefully about your back-up strategy.Online back-ups are easier,arguably.All of the big tech players have online storage you can treat like your ownhard disk.Google has Google Drive,Apple has iCloud,and Microsoft has OneDrive.All you have to do is download the app for service you want to use to your computer or phone.Most Cloud storage apps even have the option to automatically upload your camera roll,so when you take new photos they511be sent up to the Cloud as soon as you connect to wifi.Offline storage is slightly trickier.Looking after Cloud files is Google5s or Microsoft's problem.But offline, figuring out what equipment to buy is something you need to figure out for yourself.The most obvious option is to buy a portable USB hard drive.Just plug it into your computer and you can copy important files to it.This is definitely a better approach than doing absolutely nothing,but there5s still a problem:if your back-up drive fails,you still lose everything.This is why if you5re serious about backing up-and you should be-I recommend the slightly pricier option of getting a device known as a NAS,which stands for""Network Attached Storage“and is basically a mini computer that you can plug directly into your wifi router.Some companies have devices available that contain only one hard drive, but I recommend buying one with space for at least two.This is because on most NAS models,two hard disks can work together to keep your files safe.Instead of appearing as separate hard disks,they can be combined using a feature called"RAID”,standing for"Redundant Array of Independent Disks”and it basically tells your NAS to treat the two hard disks inside it as though they were one drive,with the contents mirrored on both drives automatically.It means that if one of the two drives goes kaput,you still have a perfectly functioning mirror copy with all your files safely stored on it.The only thing considered undesirable is that a decent NAS tends to start at around£300,and that excludes the price of the hard disks themselves.But before you scream in horror,remember-this is for your most important files, to keep them safe.So,as annoying as it might sound,this is important.Just as you wouldn't leave your home with a risky boiler or drive a car with faulty brakes.It5s time to do the boring but important thing and spend the money to get your data backed up-before it is too late.32.Why are online back-ups easier?A.Because all of the big tech companies offer online storage free of charge.B.Because you just need to download the Cloud storage app for service you want.C.Because it is the service providers that are to blame if your Cloud files get lost.D.Because the data of your digital device is uploaded to the Cloud automatically.33.What can we learn about NAS?A.It's a device that you can plug into your computer.B.RAID is used to separate two hard disks inside NAS.C.It tends to be very costly even without hard disks.D.Most of them contain only one hard drive within.34.What does the underlined word"kaput”in the fourth paragraph probably mean?A.Tom.B.Broken.C.Lost.D.Shut.35.What's the main idea of the passage?A.Strategies for backing up data.B.Solutions to information overload.C.Problems concerning digital storage.D.Reasons for keeping track of your data.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。

AFrom a multi-day hike following the routes of a Japanese poet,to a classic climb in the Argentinian Lake District,there are thousands of incredible trails(小路)that allow us to get up close to nature.Appalachian Trail,UnitedExtending for2,200miles,the Appalachian Trail is listed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world.It runs from Springier Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine,passing through some of the most remote country in the United States.That means it’s a hard task,either for those with endless vacation allowance,or walkers looking to do a small piece of a classic route.The Basho Wayfarer,JapanThis self-guided trip follows a route taken by the poet Matsuo Basho over300years ago.The six-day hike starts in Sendai and works its way through the northern Tohoku region,passing through the UNESCO World Heritage(遗产)Site of Hiraizumi and along the ancient Dewa Kaido path.With its beech and cherry forests,it finishes at the temple of Yamadera.Mount Toubkal,MoroccoThe path upwards rises from the village of Imlil,passing over a dry river bed before rising sharply through a temple and on towards a large mountain cottage.After overnight here,hikers set off up the snowfield to the peak,where the Atlas Mountains open out and the views are breathtaking.A local guide and muleteers for carrying luggage are a must.The Dingle Way,IrelandIt is a ring-like path that offers the best way to get under the skin of wild County Kerry in Ireland’s south west. Starting in the town of Tralee,the clockwise path follows narrow roads,taking in the wide sweep of sand at Inch Strand,passing along the clifftops outside Dingle town and heading around the edge of Mount Brardon,the highest peak on the Dingle Peninsula.1.What do we know about the Basho Wayfarer?A.It offers no guide service.B.It was built by a poet.C.It ends in the northern Tohoku region.D.It is

pan.She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter(面糊)to ensure they would look identical.A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top.The cupcakes were for a2-year-old’s“Moana”-themed birthday party.The next day,she had orders for a two-tiered cake and two birthday cakes.While most teenagers are spending the summer hanging out with friends and working,Ke’Nyzjah is filling orders,updating her website and getting new branding photos.She owns and operates KayKe Bakery,ahome-based business,specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes.She offers14flavors.She requires at least two to four weeks’notice on orders,and she gets six to seven a week.In2020,she started baking out of boredom and a desire for cake.She asked her mom for a solution.Mom pointed her to a box of cake mix in the cupboard.Ke’Nyzjah’s first attempt failed.But she tried making more cakes the next day.She got better.She watched hours of YouTube videos to come up with a recipe and to teach herself baking techniques.“Once I got on Instagram and started seeing other people’s decorated cakes,that’s when I got inspired to be a cake artistinstead of just a baker,”she said.She took business classes such as digital marketing at her school.She also registered for a course to become a certified customer service specialist.It taught her how to talk to customers and get through a sale.She’s constantly trying to find more ways to promote her business and find new clients.“It’s a little difficult having to keep up with both my Instagram and my Facebook pages and managing school,personal life and a business.It can be a lot sometimes,but I manage.”Nakesia Fercbec,Ke’Nyzjah’s mother,felt her daughter’s father has been influential.Ke’Nyzjah gives her mother a large of the credit.“She’s like my biggest supporter.She’s made me who I am.I’ve come to realize that I am an incredible person.”4.What was Ke’Nyzjah doing according to the first

artist.D.How to start a business.CI am thinking today about my new favorite thing.It’s an app that my husband told me a few years ago that helps me bypass all the obstacles(障碍)in my way:potholes,heavy traffic,and even speed cameras.To be honest,when my husband first told me about it,I didn’t pay much attention.I was only going to places I already knew how to get to.Plus,I learned to drive from my father—who never turned to a map.I think I mistakenly absorbed the message that real drivers didn’t need a map;you somehow just magically knew where to go.It was only later that I realized that just getting a driver’s license didn’t mean you knew how to get to places—that was lesson one.Lesson two came when my kids started playing on two different travel teams.The drivers in our household suddenly had the need to head in different directions on the same day.Suddenly my app became very meaningful to me.How did I ever manage to get to strange playing fieldshidden somewhere without it?But the crazy thing I have also noticed is how often I just don’t listen to it.Why might that be?Do I just prefer the old routes,even if they are actually worse?I see an analogy(类比)to the present moment.There is evidence that some old ideas and some long familiar ideas will send us into a boring unchanging lifestyle.But for some reason we like them better than an unfamiliar new route that might take us into areas we’ve never heard of,let alone visited.It can be hard to admit we don’t know everything.As a person who still drives an8-year-old stick shift and who has never stood in line for anything new,I certainly understand that.But I also try to remember the times I let go of my ego(自负),or my fear,and learned that life could be better.Not perfect—but better.I am glad I finally listened to my husband about that app.He was right.8.What did the author think of the app at the very beginning?A.It was magical.B.It was practically valueless.C.It was powerful.D.It was not as good as a map.9.What would probably make the author ignore the app’s instructions?A.Her desire to explore alone.B.Her doubt about the new device.C.Her preference for the new routes.D.Her refusal to experience changes.10.What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A.She is willing to challenge herself.B.She cares little about others’comments.C.She recognizes her problems easily.D.She is too inflexible to make any change.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Real Drivers Know Their Way B.It Pays to Take a New RouteC.New Apps Make Life Perfect D.It Matters to Listen to Inner Voice第二节:(共5小题,每小题2.5分,共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。

ATechnology never stops moving. These inventions will be here sooner than you think, so it’s best to get your wallet ready for them.5G networks will bring the Internet everywhereThe most exciting thing about 5G is that it will be a full-on broadband internet service meaning that instead of,having one service for your mobile devices and one for home internet, you’ll be able to get home 5G and take it with you, as well. That also means less reliance(依赖)on wi-fi.Smart needles will detect cancer in momentsRight now, most cancers aren’t detected until something goes wrong, which is what the smart needle hopes to change. Cancerous tissue and healthy tissue reflect light differently, according to Medical Xpress. The way the smart needle works is by shining light through the tissue in question and then quickly calculating if the tissue is sick or healthy. It takes seconds, and without painful operations.People will be able to feel things in virtual realityVirtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) attracted a lot of attention in the last decade, but things will only get more interesting from here, starting with the ability to touch and feel the things we see through all the various kinds of computer-generated pictures.Plant-based meat is going to grow in new ways2019 was the year of plant-based meats, with Beyond Meat introducing burgers that tasted just about the same as actual beef, but made entirely out of plants.

Skyline Dear Skyline,As we grow up, our interests change a lot. As a teenager, it may just be that your mom and you don’t share the same interests right now. It’s normal for the relationship between teenagers and their parents to become distant for a short while.If you don’t think your mom understands you or your interests, why not try to get involved in some of hers? If she has a hobby, try to join in with it. For example, if she’s a good cook, ask her to teach you some recipes. If she likes running, go for a run with her.Likewise(同样地), try to get her involved in the things that you do often. Invite her to go to the movies or to coffee together, or ask her to help you study some time.Another great way to get to know your mom better is to ask her about her childhood. My mother has lots of great tales about being a teenager in the 1960s, and hearing her share them and laughing at her funny memories always brings us closer together. Ask your mom about her life as a teenager too I bet she’d love to share her stories There could be many reasons that your mom might seem too busy to do things with you. She could just be tiredfrom a long day of work, or she may have a problem of her own that’s affecting how she acts toward others.Whatever happens, don’t worry. She loves you and always will. And hopefully one day soon, you will both understand each other perfectly.4. What is Skyline’s problem?A. She doesn’t live close to her mom.B. She doesn’t share things with her mom.C. Her mom is too busy to spend time with her.D. Her mom doesn’t understand her.5. What does Dale think of Skyline’s problem?A. Typical.B. Unusual.C. Strange.D. Tough.6.

To get her a chance to laugh at her mom.7. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 of Dale’s letter to Skyline?A. Skyline’s mom has a problem of her own.B. Skyline’s mom probably isn’t a good mother..C Skyline is badly treated by her mom at home.D. Skyline probably doesn’t understand her mom.CFor decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria(疟疾)medicine, finally won the country that honor.In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations(变异)in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersibl(e 潜水器). He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research.8. Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage?A. To show one of China’s long-held dreams.B. To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize.C. To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions.D. To introduce more top Chinese scientists.9. Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat?A. Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops..B Because she was expert at wheat engineering.C. Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered.D. Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China.10. What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China?A. He teaches about sea at a university.B. He developed Jiaolong submersible.C. He is devoted to genetic engineering.D. He reached the bottom of the ocean.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. China’s Science StarsB. China’s Nobel Prize DreamC. Gao Caixia-China’s Crop EngineerD. Cui Weicheng-China’s Deep DiverDPeople do better when more is expected of them. In education circles, this is called the Pygmalion Effect.The Pygmalion effect got its name from the story of Pygmalion, a mythica(虚构的)Greek sculptor.Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and then fell in love with it. He appealed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who brought the statue to life and helped the couple get married. Just as Pygmalion’s fixation on the statue brought it to life, our focus on a student can do the same in schools. Research by Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson examined the influence of teachers’ expectations on students’ performance. They began by testing the IQ of elementary school students. Teachers were told that the IQ test showed around one-fifth of their students to be unusually intelligent. But unknown to the teachers, the “gifted” students were chosen at random. Actually they had no big statistical advantage over the other kids. As the study period ended, all students had their IQs retested. Both groups showed an improvement. Yet those who were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ points. Rosenthal and Jacobson owed this result to the Pygmalion effect. Teachers paid more attention to “gifted” students, offering more support and encouragement than they would otherwise.In general, teachers have the power to influence how the students behave by holding high expectations. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets more opportunities to develop their ability, and their performance improves. This works both ways. When a student expects a teacher to be excellent or successful, they tend to be attentive and supportive. In the process, they improve their performance, too. Students who act interested in lectures create interesting lecturers.12. Where did the Pygmalion effect get its name from?A. A statue of a lady.B. The goddess of love.C. A character in a literary work.D. The story made up by Pygmalion.13. The underlined expression “fixation on” in Paragraph 2 most probably meansA. worship ofB. affection forC. marriage toD. sympathy for14. What is the purpose of Rosenthal and Jacobson’s research?A. To improve the kids’ IQ.B. To pick out gifted students.C. To expand teachers’ influence.D. To examine the Pygmalion effect.15. What can students do to make a teacher excellent?A. Support the teacher by treating them as excellent.B. Attend interesting lectures given by the teacher.C. Work hard to get prepared for opportunities.D. Show great interest in lectures on acting.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThere are always been some heated debates when it comes to medical cloning.Different people hold different attitudes towards the topic, some in favor of it while some strongly against it.Peter Smith: “I suggest that medical cloning is very i mportant for curing serious illnesses that at present have no cure; for example, to replace nerve cells(神经细胞) in someone who has suffered a stroke(中风). Most profitably, medical cloning can be used to help with diseases that gradually cause people to lose their ability to move or to think ( such as Parkinson’s Disease). With the help of special cloning techniques, such people can be restored to perfect health and be able to live a normal life again. This is a wonderful thing for human beings because it impro ves our quality of life. As we can see, the benefits are very obvious. ”Louis Armstrong: “ Medical cloning is far more complicated than what some people claim to be. First of all, where do these stem cells(干细胞) come from? Well, from human cells of course. If you believe that human life comes into existence as soon as the cells begin to grow, then the practice of removing an embryo(胚胎) kills it. This embryo, if it was allowed to continue to grow and develop, would eventually become another human being. So by using stem cells to save one person, we are actually killing another. Is it morally justified(正当的)? I feel that the answer must be NO. Not to mention the uncertain risk and danger. ”Indeed, at the moment medical cloning research is a very new science. It has been proved successful in cloning some animals ---- but not all. There still exist a lot of unsolved problems in animal cloning. And the problems for human cloning will be even more serious as no human has yet been cloned. It is much more reasonable that we must be cautious about medical cloning until all these problems are settled.21.What is Louis Armstrong’s attitude to medical cloning?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Opposed.D. Unclear.22.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. The author supports the idea that we should carry out medical cloning immediately.B. The author tends to be against Louis Armstrong’s point of view.C. The author disagrees that there should be medical cloning.D. The author crit icizes both Peter’s and Louis’s idea.23.How does medical cloning benefit human beings as far as Peter Smith is concerned?A. Medical cloning can cure all kinds of illnesses including Parkinson’s Disease.B. Medical cloning can prevent people from getting diseases.C. Medical cloning can make human beings perfect and healthy.D. Medical cloning can help people with some serious diseases to restore health.BIn 1452 one of the greatest painters and inventors, Leonardo da Vinci, was born. His family was very poor and he grew up in the Italian countryside. But his drawing ability allowed him to study under the famous painter from Florence, called Verrocchio. Leonardo gradually learned the skills needed to be a great artist and by the 1480s he had begun to produce paintings of his own. Unfortunately, at this time painting did not always provide a steady income, so the young Leonardo developed his drawing skills to earn money in other ways. He learned to design whatever his employer wanted: cities, canals, bridges or weapons.Leonardo became interested in machines when he was a boy. Some of his early drawings showed clearly how various machine parts worked. While he was studying under Verrocchio, Leonardo observed and used a variety of machines. By studying and drawing them, Leonardo gained knowledge about their design and structure. Artists in Leonardo’s time knew how to build and repair many familiar kinds of machines, but nobody seemed to have thought about inventing new ones.However, Leonardo was different. He developed a new attitude towards machines. He realized that by understanding how each separate machine worked, he could improve them and combine them in different ways to improve existing machines. In this way he began to design machines no one had ever seen before. He set out to write the first systematic explanation of how machines work and how the parts of a machine are combined in the whole. His drawing skills enabled him to produce clear drawings of his mechanical ideas easily. Even more than five hundred years later, many of his designs can still be used to create perfect working machines.For him, the most interesting part was the use of mechanical gears(齿轮). Based on the gear, he came up with numerous designs, including the bicycle, a helicopter, a n “ automobile” and some weapons of course.While making inventions Leonardo was also painting. One of those who knew him best recognized his special abilities and described him in those words: “The most wonderful gifts seem to be given to certain human beings. Sometimes, marvellously(不可思议地), they can be found in one individual ...

Leonardo da Vinci: designer and creator of machinesCCollecting and writing news is like researching in history: the best information comes from those who were there at the time. So if we want to study the history of China in the sixth century AD, we look at the writings of the people who lived then. They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. People at a much later date who write about the same events are called secondary sources. For example, when we read about the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture, we are reading a primary source; when we read about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading a secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died.When we make news we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person presenting the programme in the studio is the secondary source (because he tells us about the news) and the reporter in Iraq or the USA is the primary source (because he is telling us about what is actually happening there). Without these reporters acting as primary sources, you would never find out what really happened in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there. They often take photographers with them who also act as primary sources by giving us pictures of events.In a newspaper the position is different because these two roles are oftencombined. This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens, the reporter is both the primary and the secondary source. But the photographer who works with him or her is still a primary source.It is important to separate primary and secondary sources because they can help us to decide what is true. A primary source is more likely to be true than a secondary one because he/she can give us facts (what happened) rather than opinions (what he/she thinks happened).28.If you want to study Julius Caesar, a Roman leader, which one is a primary source?A.

And you’d better take Rosie and Monty with you.”Putting down the phone, Sara sighed. Tomorrow was her husband Tony’s birthday. She had planned to cook him a nice meal and then surprised him with the new mountain bike she’d bought for him. If she went to her mother’s house, Tony wouldn’t get the present for days.However, her mother’s house was the best place to be right now. Being on higher land, it would be safe from the floods. It had been raining heavily for almost twoweeks and the river near Sara and Tony’s house was rising higher and higher all the time. Tony and others from the village had spent the last two days putting sandbags along the side of the river to stop it from overflowing. Now they feared that their hard work had been useless and soon the whole valley would be flooded.Sara dressed baby James in warm clothes and collected the things she would need for him over the next few days. She put the lead on the dog and went in search of Monty, the cat. It took her a long time, but eventually she found him safe and warm under the covers on her bed. She placed him in his cat basket and took him into the kitchen where James and the dog, Rosie, waited.Just was she was reaching for the car keys, Sara heard the sound like the noise bath water makes when you pull out the plug(插头). She looked at the back door. Water was flowing in underneath. Turning around she saw dirty brown water fountaining out of the drain(下水道) and filling the sink(水槽). Quickly she put James into her backpack and pulled it onto her back. Calling to Rosie, she picked up the cat basket and ran to the front house and out into the front garden.The water was already up to her knees. Rosie was swimming beside her. Knowing the water would soon be much deeper, Sara ran to the car and opened the doors. She threw the cat basket onto the roof of the car and pushed Rosie up beside it. Using the car seat as a step she climbed first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof. James, safely attached to her back, made no sound at all. Sara stared down at the water which was rushing past the car. It was already half way up the doors, and still rising.32.Who is James?A. Tony’s son.B. Sara’s dog.C. Sara’s husband.D.
