(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AChinese New Year is approaching and preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.LondonAlthough it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns , previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dance and opera nearby.San FranciscoSan Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.BangkokWith an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.MauritiusFound in Port Louis, this Maur itian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century bysettlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets.1. According to the text, which of the following has the longest history?A. London’s Chinatown.B. Bangkok’s Chinatown.C. Mauritius’s Chinatown.D. San Francisco’s Chinatown.2. What’s special about Bangkok’s Chinatown?A. It is crowded with Chinese restaurants.B. It is well-known for its gold business.C. It was the major entrance for the Chinese.D. It is where you can enjoy fireworks.3. If you want to enjoy the Dragon Dances, you can go to ______.A. Rue Royale in Port Louis, Mauritius.B. the Sunday market in Bangkok.C. the Grant Avenue in San Francisco.D. the Chinese community in London.BI once had an unforgettable experience that has influenced and directed the way I think and act now.When I was about seven years old, my grandfather took me to a fish pond ona farm and told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone. “You may create lots of circles in your life, but the waves that come from those circles will disturb the peace of all your fellow people,” he said thoughtfully. “Remember that your circle may touch many other circles, meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others’ lives. You are responsible for what you put in your circle. You will need to live in a way that allows the good or peace that comes from your circle tobe sent to others. At the same time, the anger or jealousy(嫉妒) coming from your circle also spread to other circles. You are responsibl e for both.”That was the first time I had realized that each person’s inner peace or discord(不和谐) can flow out into the world. If we are filled with inner conflict, doubt or anger, we cannot create world peace. We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever circles are inside us, they are spreading into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.4. The author’s grandfather took him/her to the fish pond to_______.A. go fishing togetherB. teach him/her a meaningful truth of lifeC. play a fun game with the authorD. correct his/her wrong doings5.What does the author want to say by telling us his unforgettable experience?A. We cannot control our feelings that disturb othersB. We shouldn’t keep in touch with other people.C. What we think and do can influence others’ lives.D. It’s difficult to keep a good relationship with other p eople.6. The author would probably agree that we should________.A. send our anger to other peopleB. share our happiness with other peopleC. complain about the misfortune in our livesD. hide our feelings and never express them to others7.What is the purpose of writing this passage?A. To teach the young people how to hold their feelings and thoughts.B. To indicate the importance of an unforgettable experience.C. To recall the experience of fishing.D. To tell people to create beauty and harmony.CMusic is something that every person has his or her own specific opinion about. Different people have different tastes, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, comforting, energizing,and many more.There are so many types of music out there today. Rap, pop, rock, country, alternative, hardcore are some of the abundant types in the world. Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People usually become friends with others who have the same taste. People may not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music because they’ll argue about what they think is better but it’s just their own o pinions.Rap and Rock music are two very important types of music in the world. The lyrics (歌词) sung or rapped by the artists can be things going on in their own personal lives. Music can also serve as a motivation for new ideas. When people listen to the new things out there, they learn different things going on in the world and they become more open-minded because they’re exposed to different people like the artists.People can use music to express themselves in ways it can’t be expressed through behavior, or art. You can usually tell how someone feels by the type of music he or she is listening to at the time. It’s a tool used by many. Groups of people around the world can come together and gather at concerts and shows to show what their interests and likings are and you see how many people have similar likings as you. 8.What can we know about music according to the first paragraph?A. All people like listening to music in some way.B. Preference for music varies from person to person.C. There are four kinds of impact music can bring about.D. Different types of music have the same impact on people.9.People are likely to become friends because of ________.A. the same taste of musicB. the good impact of musicC. the attraction of different ideasD. the arguments about music style 10.Music can serve as a motivation for new ideas by ________.A. giving listeners controversial lyricsB. setting up role models like the artistsC. opening listeners’ mind to new thoughtsD. impressing listeners with familiar images11.What can we know from the last paragraph?A. The music you listen to shows how you feel.B. Music expresses oneself better than behavior.C. The music one listens to determines his or her feelings.D. Music is tool to make different people become friends.Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don't even notice that they're doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart. You won't feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Don't keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your ankle—what we know as that “pins and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.12. What can we learn about crossing one's legs?A. It is a very bad social habit.B. It can do harm to people's health.C. It is usually practiced deliberately.D. It can make others feel uncomfortable.13. According to the study, sitting with your legs crossed can______.A. affect your blood pressure.B. resist gravity effectively.C. lead to heart attacks easily.D. improve the function of legs.14. In the t hird paragraph “pins and needles” probably means______.A. being highly flexible.B. being a little tired.C. serious muscle injuries.D. slight sharp pains.15. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To compare common habitsB. To evaluate effects of an experiment.C. To give readers some advice.D. To introduce research methods.第二节(共5小题每小题2分满分10分)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。

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). You might 29 hours writing and replying to E-mail 30 you should be busy with the books for an upcoming exam. 31 , you might be signed up for so many daily services, 32 horoscope(算命术), news services, or personals, that your mailbox is so 33 “junk mail”, that finding the 34 E-mail through your box might take hours.If you are a student, 35 is preciout. 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. HoweverD. so asD. covered withD. possibleD. timeD. UsuallyD. becauseD. RefuseD. realizeD. soon21. A. the lives22. A. valuable23. A. even24. A. but25. A. losing touch with26. A. keeping27. A. accidents28. A. advantages29. A. spend30. A. for31. A. Otherwise32. A. such as33. A. struck with34. A. important35. A. money36. A. Sometimes37. A. if38. A. Encourage39. A. examine40. 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. He didn’t want to call attention to AIDS. I do.53. What does Kerrel tell us about her father?A. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.B. He depended on the nurses in his final days.C. He worked hard to pay for his medication.D. He told no one about his disease.54. What can we learn from the underlined sentence?A. Kerrel couldn’t understand her teacher.B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearingC. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.D. Kerrel was too tired to bear her teacher’s words.55. Why did Kerrel keep her father’s disease a secret?A. She was afraid of being looked down upon.B. She thought it was shamefu to have AIDS.C. She found no one willing to listen to her.D. She wanted to obey her mother.56. Why did Kerrel write the passage?A. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.B. To show how little people knew about AIDS.C. To draw people’s attention to AIDS.D. To remember her fatherl.ERecently, in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-to-door salesman.I once read a saying: “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t, you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You may consider this an exaggeration(夸张), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. 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.

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.

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

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。

It is one of the hottest places on the surface of the earth. The highest ground temperature ever re corded was 93. 90℃ on July 15, 1972. It is the driest place in North America with an average rainfall of only l.96 inches a year. Death Valley also boasts the lowest point in the western hemisphere-Bad-water, at 85. 95 meters below sea level.Death Valley got its name in 1849, when a group of emigrants were looking fora shortcut to the gold field of California. They were given bad advice and went into the valley. Some of them were killed by the bad weather and harsh road. When the rest finally walked out, they gave the area its name by saying to it "Good-bye, Death Valley".As the name might suggest, there is very little apparent vegetation within Death Valley. First impressions, however, can be deceiving. Death Valley includes more than 1000 species of plants that have adapted to the harsh conditions.Death Valley is also a land of beauties. Sunrise and sunset are two of the most spectacular attractions. Depending on different angles, they show many of the area's different moods.For the best viewing, plan to be there approximately one hour before sunset or before sunrise.Death Valley National Park is open all year round. In spite of the climate, hiking is one of the most popular activities in Death Valley. The surrounding mountains produce spectacular wildflower displays along with snow-covered peaks, breathtaking sand dunes, abandoned mines and industrial structures.5.All the following statements are the most special natures of Death Valley except that _______.A.it has the largest number of desert plantsB.it has the hottest ground in the worldC.it is the driest place in North AmericaD.it is the lowest in the western hemisphere6.From the passage we can know that the name Death Valley comes from the fact that _______.A.no one can escape from its bad weatherB.it's too hot for any plants to grow thereC.some persons died from its terrible climate atD.it is so dry that no living things can exist7.Though Death Valley has horrible living conditions, the author thinks highly of ________.A.its snow-covered peaksB.its special climateC.its wild lifeD.the view of sunrise and sunset8.The purpose of this passage probably is _______.A.telling us the danger of Death ValleyB.giving us a general introduction of Death ValleyC.encouraging us to pay a visit to Death ValleyD.describing the beauty of Death ValleyCIn my living room,there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to“Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy.I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s,when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville,Kentucky.The job responsibilities required occasional visitsto the classroom of each teacher in the program.Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who“bloomed”in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County,Kentucky,Appalachian Mountain area.To get to her school from the town of Harlan,I followed a road winding around the mountain.In the eight-mile journey,I crossed the same railroad track five times,giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times.Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains,I found it depressing.The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school,all gloom (忧郁) disappeared.Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom.I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen.The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects.Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for“dinner”(lunch).In case you don’t know,poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild,especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students.Her enthusiasm never cooled down.When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification,Dorothy was ready.She came to the assessment and passed in all areas.Afterward,she invited me to the one and only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory,as if she had received her Ph.D.degree.After the meal,she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand.She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝),but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.9.“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to .A.a programme directed by DorothyB.a course given by the authorC.an activity held by the studentsD.an organization sponsored by Union College10.In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing .A.the long trackB.the poor housesC.the same trainD.the winding road11.What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph?A.She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant.B.She got a pen as a gift from the author.C.She passed the required assessment.D.She received her Ph.D.degree.D(改编)Many cities have interesting nicknames. Nicknames can help establish the identity of a city. They can also spread pride among its citizens.New Orleans, Louisiana probably has more nicknames than any other American city. One web site lists more than twenty nicknames. The most famous is “The BigEasy” It describes the gentle, slow and easy-going way of life in New Orleans.So how did the city get this nickname? In the early 1900s there was a dance hall in New Orleans called “The Big Easy”. But the nickname did not become famous until the early 1970s. That was when a Louisiana newspaper writer began calling New Orleans by this name. She compared the easy-going way of life there to the hurried pace of life in New York City.In 1970, James Conaway wrote a crime novel called “The Big Easy”. The story was set in New Orleans. In 1987, that book was made into a film which made the nickname even more popular.New Orleans has other nicknames. One of them is “The Crescent(新月) City”. During the 19th century, new neighbourhoods expanded out from what is now known as the French Quarter. These areas followed the great curve (曲线) of the Mississippi River, giving New Orleans the shape of a crescent.Another nickname is “The Birthplace of Jazz”, because that kind of music started in New Orleans. It is also called “Mardi Gras City” for the wild celebrations and parades that take place there every year. And, there is a nickname that uses the short way to write New Orleans and Louisiana. If you do not want to use the complete name, you can call the city “NOLA”.12.Which of the following nicknames does not refer to New Orleans?A.The Birthplace of Jazz.B.The Sin City.C.Mardi Gras City.D.The Crescent City.13.Which of the following statements about New Orleans is not TRUE?A.It has the most nicknames among American cities.B.One of its neighbouring cities is the New York City.C.Its people enjoyed celebrations and parades.D.It is by the river of the Mississippi.14.Which of the following statements about James Conaway is correct?A.He described the easy-going way of life in New Orleans in his book.B.He was a newspaper writer based in New Orleans.C.He wrote a romantic story named “The Big Easy”.D.His book was adapted into a movie.15.What’s the best title of the passage?A.The Big EasyB.Cities and nicknamesC.New Orleans and its nicknamesD.Nicknames—the Identity of a city第二节七选五(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)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中有两项为多余选项。
