However,the truth is that non-choosy people may also make their quick decisions,and rationalize them to make them fit,even if it wasn't the best decision in the first place.Section B VocabularyDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.10分A.claimedB.evacuateC.fabricsD.regularE.significantlyF.sinkG.rainstorms H.similar I.initially J.swallowing K.thought“It was a wave of water,”says Oulimata Sambe.She points out the still-sodden(湿透的) armchairs,muddy wardrobe and the water stain a metre and a half up the wall in her small house in Ngor,a fishing village within Dakar,the capital of Senegal.“I had two grandkids on my bed,I had to(31)______them out of the window,”she adds.Not faraway,underpasses on Dakar's scenic corniche(滨海路)became car-(32)______lakes.Just weeks earlier another downpour had turned quiet streets in Dakar into raging rivers and collapsed a section of motorway.(33)______events regularly occur across the region.Recent flooding and landslides also killed eight people in Freetown,the capital of Sierra Leone.In June flooding killed12people in Abidjan,the commercial capital of Ivory Coast.Floods in Lagos,Nigeria’s commercial capital, (34)______another seven lives.Even when they are not deadly,city floods ruin lives and livelihoods.Storm water recently flooded the biggest textile(纺织业)market in Kano,a city in northern Nigeria,destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars’worth of(35)______.Unusually heavy rains have become(36)______more common over the past30years, leaving huge numbers of people at risk.In places this is partly because of deforestation.A recent study by Christopher Taylor of the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology,a research institute, and his coauthors found that afternoon(37)______in deforested parts of coastal west Africa happen twice as often compared with30years ago.Their frequency went up by only about a third in places that kept their forests.Yet(38)______flooding of cities in west Africa is not only caused by heavier rain.Unplanned urbanization is also to blame.As cities have grown,builders have thrown up concrete walls with little(39)______about providing drainage,making it harder for water to find a clear path to the sea.As ever larger areas have been paved over,there has been less exposed soil into which water can gently(40)______away.And as cites get more packed with new arrivals,their few functioning drains get overwhelmed or clogged.III.Reading Comprehension45分Section 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.15分When Harry told me that he was leaving the company,one of the first things he said to me was that he didn’t like emotional goodbyes.I have decided to take him at his word.Everything you will hear me say tonight is straightforward and___41___,just like the man himself.Harry has been in the finance departent for seven years.In that time,he has not done anything remotely___42___.I asked several people if they had anecdotes(轶事)about him,and the best they could come up with is that he once accidentally changed a formula in the annual budget spreadsheet.Since the___43___was quickly spotted and fixed,it had no impact at all.Will Harry be___44___?Not at all,though for reasons that he may not fully grasp.This is an evening in which the person who is leaving receives presents(as well as a card from people whose names you don't recognize but who just loved working with you).But the___45___goes both ways.The leavers have a parting gift of their own to present:a convenient scapegoat(替罪羊).When someone dies,the convention is not to speak ill of the departed.When an employee ___46___a company,it's the opposite.Things that don't work as well as they should can be laid at the door of someone who won't___47___.Frustrations that have been suppressed can finally be blamed on someone.When we speak of you,we will say things like“Harry had many strengths but...",and we will___48___ourselves that you held us back a bit.This will not be true,but it will be___49___.I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that we are grateful for this___50___ act of service,which can last for as long as a year after someone has actually left the building. After that,memories tend to fade.I wish I could promise you that you are part of company folklore,or that your role in banning plastic straws from the office will ring through the ages. ___51___,the only guarantee I can give is that no one here will ever read your exit-interview notes.This may all seem a little___52___.You have spent many years at the company,and yet will probably___53___.But in spite of that,you should still feel___54___in your time here.To have done your work well and to leave at a time of your choosing are achievements that are beyond most people.So please raise your glasses to Harry.He has been an excellent colleague and won't really be___55___.41.A.off the guard B.to the point C.in the swing D.on the horizon42.A.funny B.impressive C.correct D.creative43.A.breakdown B.discovery C.mistake D.crack44.A.hated B.remembered C.adored D.forgotten45.A.impact B.exchange C.ceremony D.end46.A.joins B.founds C.reforms D.exitse up B.answer back C.leave off D.back away48.A.persuade rm C.remind D.caution49.A.pointless B.consequential C.significant D.convenient50.A.selfless B.grand C.final D.accidental51.A.Instead B.Otherwise C.Besides D.Therefore52.A.weird B.amusing C.exciting D.sad53.A.make no difference B.leave little traceC.have some sayD.produce much impact54.A.regret B.guilt C.pride D.pain55.A.missed B.replaced C.erased D.blamedSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinjshed statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.22分AWorth nearly$ltrn,Facebook is the world’s sixth-most-valuable company.Its revenues have grown by56%in the past year,and its share price by more than a quarter.Nearly3bn people use its products every month.Why did such a successful company change its name as Meta?The likely official reason for the rebranding is that the firm has outgrown the social network that Mark Zuckerberg started17years ago in a Harvard dorm.Today it includes other social apps (Instagram,WhatsApp,Messenger)and video hardware(Oculus,Portal).It has launched a digital wallet(Novi)and may yet offer a currency(Diem).Mr Zuckerberg expects people eventually to associate his firm more with the“metaverse”(元字宙),a virtual space for work play and more, than with social media.Facebook wouldn't be the first tech giant to do so.In2015Google set up Alphabet,a holding company for the search engine and its many side projects.Under this model,Facebook would become just another app within a wider family,though by far it has been the biggest earner.There is another possible motive for a makeover.For all its financial success,the Facebook brand has become tarnished.The social network is blamed for fueling everything from teenage anorexia(厌食症)to uprising at the US Capitol.Public trust in it is lower than in most tech giants, and falling.Although two years ago the firm started branding its apps as being“from Facebook”, its new smart glasses,which can record video and take phone calls,feature only the logo of its partner,Ray-Ban.A former employee revealed that Facebook was trying to cover up a drop in young American users.Mr Zuckerberg himself has been a reason for much of the criticism of Facebook,and of bossy tech firms more generally.As the all-powerful founder,he has a higher profile than his opposite numbers at TikTok,YouTube and other social networks.Normally,a brand facing a reputational crisis might dump its unpopular CEO.But Mr Zuckerberg’s position is immovable, which may explain why he would want to dump the brand instead.56.Facebook changed its name because________.A.it wanted people to associate its name with universeB.it was trying to follow the fashion led by GoogleC.it expected to expand its business to a wider rangeD.its former name has brought bad reputation to the company57.What can we know about Facebook?A.It was founded by Zuckerberg in Harvard's dormitory.B.It has a positive influence on teenagers’mind and actions.C.It is as popular among young people in the US as it was.D.It produced smart glasses with two companies’logos on it.58.What does the underlined word“tarnished”mean in the passage?A.distinguishedB.abandonedC.globalizedD.spoiled59.This passage probably appears in________.A.a science reviewB.a business magazineC.a technical reportD.the website of FacebookBThe Pros and Cons of Napping●Daytime resting:helpful or harmful?Getting some sleep,even a short afternoon nap,may seem like a good thing for people with sleep disorders.But for those with insomnia and an already decreased desire to sleep at night, midday shut-eye can actually be counterproductive.So before you curl up on the couch this afternoon,consider whether your quick fix might backfire when you lie down in bed tonight.●Trouble sleeping at nightIf you have insomnia,naps present a problem,even if you feel tired during the day.Napping during the day can perpetuate bad sleep habits for people with temporary sleep issues caused by stress,illness,or jet lag too.“Even just a little bit of a power nap reduces your night time sleep drive,”says Ralph Downey III,PhD,director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Califoria.“The nap becomes nothing more than another episode of fragmented sleep.”●Getting through the dayIf you don't have a problem getting your z’s at night,a quick nap can work wonders to pull you through a tiresome or sleep-deprived day.In fact,a2008study found that a45-minute daytime nap can improve memory function.And previous studies have found that naps can lower blood pressure.Those who suffer from narcolepsy or shift-work syndrome may also benefit from daytime naps,says James Wyatt,PhD,director of the Sleep Disorders Service and Research Center at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.●Fatigue could be a warning signIf you're constantly fighting the urge to sleep during the day and falling asleep instantly at night,you might have obstructive sleep apnea,a condition in which you stop breathing while you sleep.In this case,naps won't help.By wearing a continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) machine that flows oxygen through your nose,however,you'll likely sleep more soundly and wake refreshed whether from a good night's rest or a quick catnap.60.If you suffer from insomnia________.A.midday shut-eye may be helpfulB.a short afternoon nap is probably a good thingC.napping during the day is considered a good habitD.a little bit of a power nap decreases your night time sleep desire61.A quick nap can be beneficial for common people except those________.A.who have a problem falling into sleep at nightB.whose memory is not good enoughC.who suffer from shift-work syndromeD.whose blood pressure is too high62.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.naps are helpful for those who have obstructive sleep apneaB.more oxygen through your nose might improve sleep qualityC.a45-minute daytime nap can be beneficial for those with insomniaD.a quick nap can pull everyone through a sleep-deprived dayCDelivering life-saving drugs directly to the brain in a safe and effective way is a challenge for medical providers.One key reason:the blood-brain barrier,which protects the brain from tissue-specific drug delivery.Methods such as an injection or a pill aren't as precise or immediate as doctors might prefer,and ensuring delivery right to the brain often requires invasive risky techniques.A team of engineers from Washington University in St.Louis has developed a new nanoparticle generation-delivery method that could someday vastly improve drug delivery to the brain,making it as simple as a sniff.“This would be a nanoparticle nasal spray,and the delivery system could allow medicine to reach the brain within30minutes to one hour,”said Ramesh Raliya,research scientist at the School of Engineering&Applied Science.“The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from foreign substances in the blood that may injure the brain,”Raliya said.“But when we need to deliver something there,getting through that barrier is difficult and invasive.Our non-invasive technique can delivel drugs via nanoparticles so there’s less risk and better response times.”The novel appronch is based on aerosol(气落胶)science and enginecring principles that allow the gencation of monodisperse nanoparticles,which can deposit on upper regions of the nasal cavity via spread.The nanoparticles were tagged with markers,allowing the researchers to track their movement.Next,researchers exposed locusts’antenna(触角)to the aerosol,and observed the nanoparticles travel from the antennas up through the olfactory nerve,which is used to sense the smell.Due to their tiny size,the nanoparticles passed through the brain-blood barrier,reaching the brain and spreading all over it in a matter of minutes.The team tested the concept in locusts because the blood-brain barriers in the insects and humans have similarities.“The shortest and possibly the easiest path to the brain is through your nose,”said Barani Raman,associate professor of biomedical engineering.“Your nose,the olfactory bulb and then olfactory cortex:two steps and you’ve reached the cortex.”To determine whether or not the foreign nanoparticles disrupted normal brain function,Saha examined the physiological response of olfactory neurons in the locusts before and after the nanoparticle delivery and found no noticeable change in the electrophysiological responses was detected.“This is only a beginning of a set of studies that can be performed to make nanoparticle-based drug delivery approaches more principled”Raman said.The next phase of research involves fusing the gold nanoparticles with various medicines,and using ultrasound to taarget a more precise dose to specific areas of the brain,which would be especially beneficial inbrain-tumor cases.63.This passage is mainly about________.A.a novel method of drug deliveryB.a challenge facing medical staffC.a new medicine treating brain diseasesD.a technique to improve doctors’ability64.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Doctors prefer using methods like an injection to treat diseases.B.Locusts were taggged with markers to track their movement.C.The blood-brain barrier lowers the effectiveness of a pill.D.The medicine could reach the brain within half an hour.65.The researchers focused their study on locusts because________.A.human and locusts have similar structures that protect brain from foreign substances.B.the delivery process consists of the olfactory bulb and the olfactory cortexC.locusts have changeable electrophysiological responses to nanoparticlesD.The shortest and possibly the safest path to the brain is through human’s noses66.________would most be interested in reading this passage.A.A lung cancer patient who needs operation immediatelyB.A college student who majors in medical technologyC.A senior doctor who is about to retireD.A high school teacher who is teaching biologySection CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A woman held tightly her phone to her heart,the way a missionary might hold a Bible.She was anxious to take a picture of a stunning bouquet of flowers,but first she had toget through a crowd of others who were doing the same.(67)___________For the34th year,florists were asked to create bouquets that respond to pieces of art on display,from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures.A tower of baby’s breath imitates a waterfall in a nearby painting by Gustav Grunewald.Red flamingo flowers and neon blue sticks echo a surreal portrait of a woman by Salvador Dali.It's amazing and also extremely Instagrammable,to the point that it has become a problem.(68)__________Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their sponsors.So the de Young responded with a kind of agreement:carving out“photo free”hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.A study published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is truth to this.It found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering what they saw.(69)__________Linda Butler,the de Young’s head of marketing,communications and visitor experience,acknowledges that not everyone wants amuseum to be“a selfie playland”.Yet a lot of other people do,and her take is that the de Young is in no position to claim that one motivation for buying a$28ticket is more valid than another.If we removed social media and photography,she says,“we should risk becoming irrelevant”.(70)__________On this visit to the museum,most people seemed to treat the photo craze as the new normal.Many politely waited their turn and got out of other people's shots even as visitors bumped into each other in crowded galleries.IV.Summary Writing:10分Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main points)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.It is a common sight on campus or in the streets:a young person rides by on an electric scooter,traveling quickly and proudly.But Beijing's traffic authorities have said that starting on Sept.5,people who are caught riding electric scooters on public roads or bicycle lanes will be fined10yuan.They will also be given a warning not to use the vehicles on public roads again.The announcement was made after traffic police in Shanghai started a campaign to get electric scooters off public roads,with police officers stopping riders because the scooters could cause traffic problems.The Beijing Consumer Association said it had tested more than20electric scooters of different brands recently and found that most had substandard brakes.It added that16 of the tested scooters could go faster than the maximum20km per hour set for electric bikes. According to the traffic police,people who ride electric scooters at certain speeds can easily bump into the vehicles in the vehicle lane and hurt people who walk in the bicycle lanes.But seeing the benefits that electric scooters have brought to young people,experts are worried that the ban may take effect slowly.Electric scooters are a great answer to the“last mile problem of getting from a public transport station to one’s home.They're light enough to throw over your shoulder.They're easy to ride just about anywhere and don't need a lot of physical effort.The scooter can travel25km on one charge.It's convenient and easy to control.They are also good for the environment.Unlike cars and buses.electric scooter produce no carbon dioxide,need no fuel and make almost no noise.For many young people,they use them to copy cool celebrities they have seen in videos.第II卷V.Translation:(3+3+4+5=15’)Directions:Translate the following sentence into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.在场的人都觉得他说的话不能证明他是无辜的。

You can most probably read the passage in ________.A. a newspaperB. a travel guideC. a text bookD. a story bookBWhen I was a kid, I was close to my dad, but as I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart. We always had totally different opinions. He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father's requirement.Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart.It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I'm 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.41.The author and his father became further apart because_________.A. they had different views on thingsB. they lived very far from each otherC. they only communicated by phoneD. they seldom went to see each other42. What made the author come back to Tennessee?A. Because his father invited him to go fishing．B. Because he decided to live in a different city.C. Because his father is ill and needs caring．D. Because he regretted being rude to his father.43. For the author, fishing with his old father _________.A. helps cure his father's diseaseB. is a good way to get close to natureC. makes him realize the importance of exerciseD. offers a chance for them to communicate44. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The writer's car is always breaking down.B. Father intended me to be a fisherman.C. I was unwilling to come back.D. Father used to think it was useless to attend college．45. What can be the best title for the text?A.Forgiving Is DifficultB. Fishing Brings Us TogetherC. Memories of Old DaysD. My Beloved FatherCEvery man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone，not in features but in footsteps．As he grows you also age，and your ambitions become more unachievable．You begin to realize that your boy，in your footsteps，could probably accomplish what you hoped for．But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions．My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten．Science projects waited until the last moment．Book reports weren't written until the final threat．I've been a newspaperman all my adult life．My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English．But Jody？When he entered the tenth grade he became a"vo-tech"student（技校学生）．They're called"motorheads"by the restof the student body．When a secretary in my office first called him"motorhead"，I was shocked．"Hey，he's a good kid，"I wanted to say．"And smart，really．"I learned later that motorheads are，indeed，different．They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes．And they don't often make school honor rolls（光荣榜）．But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education．We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have．I began to learn this when I had my car crashed．The cost to repair it was estimated at $800．"Hey，I can fix it，"said Jody．I doubted it，but let him go ahead，for I had nothing to lose．My son，with other motorheads，fixed the car．They got parts（零件）from a junkyard，non-toasting toaster have been fixed．Neighbours and co-workers trust their car repair to him．Since that first repair job，a broken air-conditioner，a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed．Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him．These kids are happiest when doing repairs．They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world．And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes．I have learned a lot from my motorhead：publishers need printers，engineers need mechanics，and architects need builders．Most important，I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else．My son may never make the school honor roll．But he made mine．46.What used to be the author's hope for his son？______A. To avoid becoming his clone．B. To resemble him in appearance．C. To develop in a different direction．D. To reach the author's unachieved goals．47. What can we learn about the author's children？______A. His daughter does better in school．B. His daughter has got a master's degree．C. His son tried hard to finish homework．D. His son couldn't write his book reports．48. The author let his son repair the car because he believed that ______ ．A. His son had the ability to fix it．B. it would save him much time．C. it wouldn't cause him any more lossD. other motorheads would come to help．49. In the author's eyes，motorheads are ______ ．A. tidy and hardworkingB. cheerful and smartC. lazy but brightD. relaxed but rude50. What did the author realize in the end______A.It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path．B. It is important for one to make the honor roll．C. Architects play a more important role than builders．D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers．DAn idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple：help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit（追求）to be enjoyed by all，the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus，as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched（发起）the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998.Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities，and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago，the mayor（市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of ToKill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book，One Chicago” program.As a result，reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US，stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns，where a greater sense of unity（一致）can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.Ultimately，as Nancy points out，the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book，but by how many people are enriched by the process，or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_ a_ word.51.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.52. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgrounds.D. They lacked support from the local government.53. According to the passage，where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unity.B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.54. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean ______.A. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experienceD. used the same language55. According to Nancy，the degree of success of the project is judged by ______.A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the number of books that each person reads四、阅读表达（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题．Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart（购物手推车）．They will，in a lifetime，push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles．But few will know-or even think to ask-who it was that invented them．Sylvan N．Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937．At that time he was in the supermarket business．Every day he would see shoppers lugging（吃力地携带）groceries around in baskets they had to carry．One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels．The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers，and would help to attract more business．On June 4，1937，Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market．He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving．He couldn't wait to see them using his invention．But Goldman was disappointed．Most shoppers gave the carts a long look，but hardly anybody would give them a try．After a while，Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts．"Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket？"one shopper replied．But Goldman wasn't beaten yet．He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try．To this end，Goldman hired a group ofpeople to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping!Seeing this，the real customers gradually began copying the phony（假冒的）customers．As Goldman had hoped，the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market．But not only did more people come-those who came bought more．With larger，easier-to-handle baskets，customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before．Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model．Perhaps that's one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937-before the coming of the shopping cart．56.The underlined words"chrome-plate contraptions"in Paragraph 1 refer to ______ ．（No more than 3 words）57.What was the purpose of Goldman's invention_____（No more than 10 words）58.W hy was Goldman disappointed at first？_______（No more than 10 words）59.W hy did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market？______（No more than 10 words）60.What do you think of Goldman？Please give your reasons．_______________________________________ （No more than 20 words）61.书面表达（共25分）假设你是晨光中学的学生会主席李津。

The real __42__ to getting more women to the top is the difficult issue of time commitment: Today’s top jobs in major organizations __43__ 60-plus hours of work a week. Isn’t it too much?But for businesses and reformers are serious about making their companies __44__ for the large number of American talented women, here are three ways to handle it.Re-think time. We can break away from the __45__ that high-level work can be done only by people who work extra time. Maybe working time can be shortened by setting the right amount of work that needs to get done. Senior roles should actually be easier to adapt in this way because highly paid people have the desire to give up some __46__ in order to work less.Availability matters. It’s important to differ between availability and absolute time commitment. Many professional women would __47__ agree to check email seven days a week and come to office, if necessary, for intense project — so long as over the course of a year, the time devoted to work is more __48__. Managers need to know that 24/7 availability is not the same thing as a 24/7 __49__.Quality is the goal, not quantity. Leaders need to create a __50__ in which talented people are judged not by the quantity of their work, but by the quality of their __51__. One who works 20 hours a week and who delivers exceptional results on a pro rata（摊派）basis should be qualified for __52__ and viewed as a top performer.“Devotion” may help talented women who can live with the way that top jobs require today —and if that’s their __53__, give more power to them. But only a small percen tage of women will choose this route. Until the rest of us get serious about __54__ the present way that work gets done in American corporations, we can only complain about the __55__ of it all while changing almost nothing.41. A. shockingly B. possibly C. relatively D. consequently42. A. desire B. barrier C. challenge D. solution43. A. promise B. suggest C. exceed D. demand44. A. cautious B. grateful C. inevitable D. hopeful45. A. myth B. corporation C. executive D. novelty46. A. time B. income C. freedom D. promotion47.

A. path B. advantage C. principle D. choice54. A. altering B. considering C. criticizing D. fighting55. A. competition B. pressure C. injustice D. cruelty Section B (22%)Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Comparatively few fresh-water species of fishes are limited in their distribution to a single river system, yet not many are found on both sides of a high mountain ridge, such as the Rocky Mountains in North America. That is to say, the fishes of the Mississippi Valley are generally different from those of the Pacific slope.While it is a well-known fact that the fish life in no two river systems, even though they empty into the sea on the same side of a divide, is exactly identical, such streams do have many species in common. The principal rivers of the Atlantic slope of the United States, for example, contain several species common to all of them, including the bullhead catfish, the bluegill sunfish, and the large mouth bass. None of these species can endure salt water, so they cannot move from one river system to another. On the other hand, the more northern streams contain species not found in the southern ones, and vice versa. The common pike, for example, is found in the Atlantic streams from Maryland northward, and the brook trout and yellow perch occur only in the streams from North Carolina southward.How the present distribution came about must remain a matter of quest. It is quite probable that some of the streams, including those on opposite sides of a divide, may have been connected at one time. Again, streams may be entirely separate during normal weather, but an exceptionally heavy rainfall or the sudden melting of snow in the uplands sometimes causes floods which may form a temporary connection between them, providing a passageway for fishes. It is also possible that water birds may accidentally carry fish or spawn （卵）from one stream to another, or that man may be instrumental in such a transfer.56. The fishes in the Atlantic slope cannot move from one river system to another because ________.A. there is no canal linking different riversB. fishes cannot swim by way of the AtlanticC. different rivers do not have the same salt contentD. different fishes need different rivers 57.What is NOT the reason for the same fish to be found in different rivers?A. Different rivers may have been linked to each other in the past.B. Floods carried fish from one river to another.C. Birds carried fish from place to place.D. Earthquake may have caused links between rivers. 58.“man may be instrumental in such a transfer ” in the last sentence m eans ________.A. man may use instruments to transport fishB. the movement of fish doesn’t depend on human instrumentsC. it is because of man that fish can move from one river to anotherD. it is through man’s tools that fish can move from one river to another 59.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A. Fish Distribution and the Reasons.B. Why Different Rivers Have the Same Fishes.C. Different Fishes in Different Rivers.D. Similar Fishes in Different Rivers.Gray LineDiscover Brisbane and surrounds with Gray Line Brisbane.

Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawiian society. Sadly, all is not well with astronomy in Hawaii today. Protests have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telesc ope(TMT), a giant observatory that promises to revolutionize humanity’s view of the cosmos.At issue is the TMT’s planned location on Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano worshiped by some Hawiians as the piko, that connects the Hawaiian Islands to the heavens. But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the world’s most powerful telescopes. Rested in the Pacific Ocean, Mauna Kea’s peak rises above the bulk of our planet’s dense atmosphere, where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity.Opposition to telescopes on Mauna Kea is nothing new. A small but vocal group of Hawaiians and environments have long viewed their presence as disrespect for sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation.Some blame for the current controversy belongs to astronomers. In their eagerness to build bigger telescopes, they forgot that science is the only way of understanding the world. They did not always prioritize the protection of Mauna Kea’s fragile ecosystems or i ts holiness to the island’s inhabitants. Hawaiian culture is not a relic of the past; it is a living culture undergoing a renaissance today.Yet science has a cultural history, too, with roots going back to the dawn of civilization. The same curiosity to find what lies beyond the horizon that first brought early Polynesians to Hawaii’s shores inspires astronomers today to explore the heavens. Calls to disassemble all telescopes on Mauna Kea or to ban future development there ignore the reality that astronomy andHawaiian culture both seek to answer big questions about who we are, where we come from and where we are going. Perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies, as if answering a primal calling to know ourselves and our true ancestral homes.The astronomy community is making compromises to change its use of Mauna Kea. The TMT site was chosen to minimize the telescope’s visibility around the island and to avoid archaeological and environmental impact. To limit the number of telescopes on Mauna Kea, old ones will be removed at the end of their lifetimes and their sites returned to a natural state. There is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on Mauna Kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars.63. Queen Liliuokalani’s remark in Paragraph 1 indicates ________.A. its conservative view on the historical role of astronomy.B. the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaiian society.C. the regrettable decline of astronomy in ancient times.D. her appreciation of star watchers’ f eats in her time.64. Mauna Kea is deemed as an ideal astronomical site due to ________.A. its geographical featuresB. its protective surroundingsC. its religious implicationsD. its existing infrastructure65. The construction of the TMT is opposed by some locals partly because ________.A. it may risk ruining their intellectual life.B. it reminds them of a humiliating history.C. their culture will lose a chance of revival.D. they fear losing control of Mauna Kea.66. The author’s attit ude toward choosing Mauna Kea as the TMT site is one of ________.A. severe criticismB. passive acceptanceC. slight hesitancyD. full approvalSection C (8%)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Writing has always been serious business.B. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to record knowledge or pa ss ideas from one generation to the next.C. And while some pathways in our brains will weaken with the decline of handwriting, we’ll develop new ones as we swipe (滑动) and double-click our way into the future.D. With limited hours and an increased pressure to meet higher standards, teachers are emphasizing technology and tablets and less of the written word.E. It’s not like seeing or talking, which are what we are born with.F. I suppose it’s easy to grieve over the passing of one era (年代) into another.Handwriting has existed for about 6,000 years. It’s one of our most important inventions. (67) _________________.Most of us know, but often forget, that handwriting is not natural. (68)_________________ In early America, only wealthy men and businessmen learned to write. A “good hand” became a sign of class and intelligence as well as morality. Most, meanwhile, signed legal documents with a mere ‘X’ and the presence of a witness. Writing only spread to the masses in the 19th century, after schools began teaching handwriting.(69) _________________ Left-handed students often had their arm tied tightly to their bodies, so they’d learn to write with the “correct” hand. In more modern times, you may remember spending hours learning the correct stroke(笔画), formation and spacing of upper- and lower-case letters.But today, schools are shifting the focus to coursework in STEM –short for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. (70) _________________ Technology has threatened writing long before every man, woman and child carried a phone. It came with the invention of the typewriter, which standardized written communication, and that same argument will reappear as technology advances.I don’t know if handwriting will ever die. But today, th e growing emphasis on typing is having far-reaching effects. To get a glimpse of the future, just look at the youth. Instead of curly Qs or crazy Ls, kids are using emoticons such as ☺ or ☹ to give a personal touch.Typing is more democratic, too —it isn’t a complicated skill to master. Keyboards are changing the physical connection between writers and text, and people who can’t write by hand, like the blind, can now use tools to communicate only by touch.Sure, I’ll miss the writing of letters, and the b eautiful and well-practiced signature written with a pen.第II卷（共50分）I. Summary Writing (10%)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.Stress for a teenager is as real as stress for an adult. Therefore, it’s important to understand the causes of stress in teenagers.When parents change their jobs or if the family "decides to move to a different place, the child has to change schools, find new friends, adapt to the new social circle and fit into new groups. It is always difficult for children to adapt to such changes, which can be a serious cause of stress in their life.Academic difficulties, such as inability to understand a certain subject can cause stress. Not every child has the ability to understand every subject. Some kids need extra help besides school work to grasp a few concepts. Poor academic performance is often laughed at and is looked down upon by both teachers and peers. In such cases, it can make the child feel isolated, neglected and hurt. All of this, put together, can add to stress, which many times worsens grades.Extra curricular such as playing a sport, or attending art classes can weigh heavily on your child's mind. Balancing school and extra curricular activities does seem like a burden when you have to be outstanding at both. When the pressures from both the ends get unmanageable, teenagers tend to get tired and annoyed. Tiredness sets in, leading to stress related issues such as lack of concentration in school.These are the common causes of stress in teenagers, which can be noticed through signs suchas poor memory, anxiety, negative and pessimistic attitude. If the signs of teenage stress go unrecognized for a long time, it can make the child emotionally out of balance. And next step, if this happens, it is necessary for parents to know how to deal with stress.II. Translation (15%) (3+3+4+5)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.买很多不需要的东西有意义吗？(point)2.这个实验旨在验证他提出的理论。
