Grammar and Vocabulary (共20分, 每题1分)Section ADirections:After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with given words, fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given; for the other blanks, use one word for each blank that best fits the context.Dating is a normal part of adolescence－and a formative one at that. Decades of research21 (suggest) a link between romantic relationships and identity development 22 teen- teenagers mature into young adults.However, a recent study published in the Journal of School Health reveals that adolescents who choose not to date fare 23 , or better than, their 24 (couple) counterparts in social and leadership skills.They are also less depressed."We know that romantic relationships are very common among adolescents－in fact, a majority 25 (involve) in some type of romantic activity by 15 to 17 years of age," says Brooke Douglas, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Georgia 26 conducted the study with Dr. Pamela Orpinas."It's also known that romantic relationships are important for teenagers' individual development and wellbeing. So that made us ask: What does this say about teenagers who are not dating? Are they social misfits?"27 turns out, they are not. Through a combination of self-reported student surveys and teacher feedback, data was gathered on the dating habits of 6th through 12th graders, 28with key emotional and behavioral information. The data was originally published in a 2013 study conducted by Orpinas, which revealed a number of dating patterns among the students—some dated more frequently with age, others took breaks from relationships at various times. But Douglas was most interested in the "low" dating group comprised of students who dated, on average, once throughout middle and high school, with some 29 (report) no romantic relationships at all. To follow the 2013 study, Douglas and Orpinas compared the social and emotional data of 10th graders and found that a lack of romantic relationships had not hindered the development of the "low" daters. On the contrary, the students in this group were overall rated higher in social and leadership skills, and lower in depression than those in other dating groups. The results stand counter 30 the notion that to be a well-adjusted and socially competent adolescent, you must experience a romantic relationship. Students who don't date are doing just fine.Section BDirections: 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.31 musical instruments from trade restrictions on rosewood.The restrictions under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora — commonly referred to as CITES — went into 32 in 2017, after strong demand for high-end rosewood furniture in China led to conservation worries and violence in areas that produce the wood. But as reported in 2017, there were some unintended consequences.Instrument makers and musicians 33 for the exemption, writing in a convention34 that without it, "the world of music and culture will lose 35 instruments that produce the highest quality tones, with no 36 conservation benefit."They got their wish Monday as a key CITES committee approved it. If finalized as expected this week, the exemption will allow finished musical instruments as well as parts and accessories containing rosewood to be transported freely around the world without permits.Trade in raw-material rosewood would remain regulated and 37 to permits granted by individual countries.Representatives of two top U.S. makers of acoustic guitars, Pennsylvania-based C.F. Martin & Co. and California's Taylor Guitars, said they support the convention's efforts to control rosewood trafficking, but they 38 that the musical instruments industry was never the problem.Other authorities expressed their concern nevertheless. Lisa Handy, director of forest campaigns at the Environmental Investigation Agency, an advocacy group, called the exemption"a reluctant 39 for many rosewood source countries.""We remain concerned this could set a bad precedent," Handy wrote. "It will be even more imperative that the sourcing and manufacturing processes are well-controlled to ensure that rosewood-producing countries, which are struggling to control illegal loggers and trafficking ... receive the international support they need to 40 the convention."III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.On Toronto's Eastern waterfront, a new digital city is being built by Sidewalk Labs－a firm owned by Google's parent Alphabet.It hopes the project will become a model for 21st-Century 41 . However, the deal has been controversial, 42 one of the biggest ever tie-ups between a city and a large corporation. And that, 43 with the fact that the corporation 44 is one of the largest tech firms in the world, is causing some 45 .Sidewalk Labs promises to transform the disused waterfront area into a bustling mini46 , one built "from the internet up," although there is no timetable for when the city will actually be built. The firm has some pretty 47 ideas for the city, including self-driving cars, reimagining of buildings and weather control. Dan Doctoroff, the company's head and former deputy mayor of New York, claimed the project was "about creating healthier, safer, more convenient and more fun lives." "We want this to be a model for what urban life can be in the 21st Century," he said.The area will have plenty of sensors collecting data－from traffic, noise and air quality－and48 the performance of the electric grid and waste collection. And that has 49 some in the city, including Toronto's deputy mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong, to question exactly what Sidewalk hopes to achieve. "What data will be gathered and what is it going to be used for? These are real and prescient issues for the city of Toronto," he remarked. Sidewalk Labs responded that the sensors will not be used to monitor and collect information on citizens, 50 it will be used to allow governments to be flexible about how neighborhoods are used.Mr. Minnan-Wong is also concerned that the firm has not been very open with its own data. "Sidewalk talks about open data, but from the very start the one thing that they are not making51 is their agreement with Waterfront Toronto." Waterfront Toronto is the organization52 revitalizing the area around the city's harbor. 53 Sidewalk's deal with the organization will 54 a 12-acre site, but it is believed it wishes to expand this to the whole area, which at 325 acres will represent a huge land-grab. "Even the idea of what land we are talking about, even something as 55 as that is unclear," said Mr. Minnan-Wong. "Is this a real-estate play or is it a technology project? We just don't know."41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. Every questions are provided with 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)Mime opens up a new world to the beholder, but it does so insidiously (隐匿地), not bypurposely injecting points of interest in the manner of a tour guide. Audiences are not unlike visitors to a foreign land who discover that the modes, manners, and thoughts of its inhabitants are not meaningless oddities, but are sensible in context.I remember once when an audience seemed perplexed at what I was doing. At first, I tried to gain a more immediate response by using slight exaggerations. I soon realized that these actions had nothing to do with the audience’s understanding of the character. What I had believed to be a failure of the audience to respond in the manner I expected was, in fact, only their concentration on what I was doing; they were enjoying a gradual awakening—a slow transference of their understanding from their own time and place to one that appeared so unexpectedly before their eyes. This was evidenced by their growing response to succeeding numbers.Mime is an elusive art, as its expression is entirely dependent on the ability of the performer to imagine a character and to re-create that character for each performance. As a mime, I am a physical medium, the instrument upon which the figures of my imagination play their dance of life. The individuals in my audience also have responsibilities—they must be alert collaborators. They cannot sit back, mindlessly complacent, and wait to have their emotions titillated by mesmeric musical sounds or visual rhythms or acrobatic feats, or by words that tell them what to think. Mime is an art that, paradoxically, appeals both to those who respond instinctively to entertainment and to those whose appreciation is more analytical and complex.Between these extremes lie those audiences conditioned to resist any collaboration with what is played before them, and these the mime must seduce despite themselves. There is only one way to attack those reluctant minds—take them unaware! They will be delighted at an unexpected pleasure.56.The author most likely considers the contrast of mime artist and tour guide appropriatebecause both ________.A. bring others to strange places.B. explore new means of self-expression.C. employ artistic methods to communicate.D. shape the way others perceive a new situation.57. The author most likely includes the incident described in paragraph 2 in order to ______.A. indicate the adjustments an audience must make in watching mime.B. show how challenging the career of a mime can be.C. portray the intensity required to see the audience's point of view.D. dispel some misconceptions about what a mime is like.58.The underlined word “elusive” in paragraph 3 most nearly means ______.A. active and conclusiveB. difficult to describe or graspC. passive but vividD. inherently successful59. According to the passage, which of the following is important to the artistic success of mime?A. Effective fusion of disparate dramatic elements.B. Incorporation of realistic details.C. Audience involvement.D. Large audiences.(B)Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well-designed tools and devices will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward hand positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm. Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented or reduced if the employer provides, and workers use:●power tools rather than having to use muscle power.●tools with specially designed handles that allow the wrist to keep straight (See Figure 1).This means that hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if theywere hanging relaxed at a person’s side.●tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand. This means having aselection of sizes—remember that tools that provide a comfortable firm hold for aperson with a very large hand may be awkward for someone with a very small hand.This is a particularly important consideration for women who may use tools originallydesigned for men.●tools that do not press fingers (or flesh) between the handles, and whose handles do nothave sharp edges or a small surface area.60. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. Good Tool Design for WomenB. Tool Design and Prevention of InjuriesC. Examples of Good Tool DesignD. Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection61.Which of the following describes a well-designed tool?A. It’s kept close to the body.B. It fully uses muscle power.C. It makes users feel relaxed.D. It’s operated with less force.62.What is Figure 1 used to show?A. The effective use of the tool.B. The way of operating the tool.C. The proper design of the handle.D. The purpose of bending the wrist.(C)The earliest controversies about the relationship between photography and art centered on whether photograph’s fidelity (保真度) to appearances and dependence on a machine allowed it to be a fine art as distinct from merely a practical art. Throughout the nineteenth century, the defense of photography was identical with the struggle to establish it as a fine art. Against the charge that photography was a soulless, mechanical copying of reality, photographers asserted that it was instead a privileged way of seeing, a revolt against commonplace vision, and no less worthy an art than painting.Ironically, now that photography is securely established as a fine art, many photographers find it pretentious or irrelevant to label it as such. Serious photographers variously claim to be finding, recording, impartially observing, witnessing events, exploring themselves—anything but making works of art. They are no longer willing to debate whether photography is or is not a fine art, except to proclaim that their own work is not involved with art. It shows the extent to which they simply take for granted the concept of art imposed by the triumph of Modernism: the better the art, the more subversive (颠覆的) it is of the traditional aims of art.Photographers’ disclaimers of any interest in making art tell us more about the harried status of the contemporary notion of art than about whether photography is or is not art. For example, those photographers who suppose that, by taking pictures, they are getting away from the pretensions of art as exemplified by painting remind us of those Abstract Expressionist painters who imagined they were getting away from the intellectual austerity of classical Modernist painting by concentrating on the physical act of painting. Much of photography’s prestige today derives from the convergence (汇聚) of its aims with those of recent art, particularly with the dismissal of abstract art implicit in the phenomenon of Pop painting during the1960’s. Appreciating photographs is a relief to sensibilities tired of the mental exertions demanded by abstract art. Classical Modernist painting—that is, abstract art as developed in different ways by Picasso, Kandinsky, and Matisse—presupposes highly developed skills of looking and a familiarity with other paintings and the history of art. Photography, like Pop painting, reassures viewers that art is not hard; photography seems to be more about its subjects than about art.Photography, however, has developed all the anxieties and self-consciousness of a classicModernist art. Many professionals privately have begun to worry that the promotion of photography as an activity subversive of the traditional pretensions of art has gone so far that the public will forget that photography is a distinctive and exalted activity—in short, an art.63. What is the author mainly concerned with?A. Defining the Modernist attitude toward art.B. Explaining how photography emerged as a fine art.C. Explaining the attitude of serious contemporary photographers toward photography as artand placing those attitudes in their historical context.D. Defining the various approaches that serious contemporary photographers take toward theirart and assessing the value of each of those approaches.64. Which of the following adjectives best describes “the concept of art imposed by the triumph ofModernism” as the author represents it in line 13?A. ObjectiveB. Mechanical.C. Superficial.D. Paradoxical.65. Why does the author introduce Abstract Expressionist painter?A. He wants to provide an example of artists who, like serious contemporary photographers,disavowed traditionally accepted aims of modern art.B. He wants to set forth an analogy between the Abstract Expressionist painters and classicalModernist painters.C. He wants to provide a contrast to Pop artist and others.D. He wants to provide an explanation of why serious photography, like other contemporaryvisual forms, is not and should not pretend to be an art.66. How did the nineteenth-century defenders of photography stress the photography?A. They stressed photography was a means of making people happy.B. It was art for recording the world.C. It was a device for observing the world impartially.D. It was an art comparable to painting.Section C （8分）Directions:Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.When I was four, I lost my sight by falling off a box car and landing on my head. Now I'm thirty-two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It'd be wonderful to see again, but a disaster can do strange things to people._____67_____. The loss of my eyes made me appreciate more what I had left.It took me years to discover and strengthen this belief. It had to start with the most trivial things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. "I can't use this," I was hurt, thinking he was teasing me. "Take it with you," he insisted, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. By rolling the ball I could feel where it went. _____68 : playing baseball. Later, at Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind, I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.69 —I believe it! The more readily you are able to make them, the more peaceful your private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was once puzzled and afraid, knowing nowhere to go. But I was lucky, for I have my parents, teachers and others who saw in me a potential to live.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. Had I not done that, I'd have broken down and become a chair rocker for the rest of my life. And the path to the belief is never smooth. 70 .Section D71. Summary Writing (10分)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 much as possible.If the package looks pretty, people will buy just about anything. So says an advertising executive in New York, and he has proved his point by selling boxes of rubbish for the price of an expensive bottle of wine.Justin Gignac, 26, has sold almost 900 carefully presented plastic boxes of rubbish from the street of Big Apple at between $50 and $100 each. Buyers from 19 countries have paid for the souvenirs. The idea has been so successful that he is thinking of promoting it around the world.It all began when Mr. Gignac was at a summer workshop. “We had a discussion about the importance of packaging,” he recalls. "Someone said packaging was unimportant. I disagreed. The only way to prove it was by selling something nobody would ever want.”He searches the streets of Manhattan and typical contents including broken glass, subway tickets, Starbucks cups and used plastic forks. “Special editions” are offered at a high price. He charged $100 for rubbish from the opening day of the New York Yankees’ stadium.Mr. Gignac denies taking his customers for fools: “They know what they’re getting. They appreciate the fact that they’re taking something nobody would want and finding beauty in it.” Some typical customers include people who used to live in the city and want a down-to-earth souvenir. He claims he has even sold to art collectors.Realizing that the concept appears to be a real money-maker, Mr. Gignac has registered a company and is employing his girlfriend as vice president. He declined to discuss his profit margins: “It’s actually quite a lot of effort putting them together, but yes, garbage is free.”Mr. Gignac is considering more varieties of souvenirs. He maintains that he has signed contracts with people interested in similar projects from as far as Berlin and London.第II卷IV.
