Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is going to experience (21) _________ unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that (22)_________ the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro- processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control center to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine (23)_________being restarted.
In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed," says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says (24) _________ would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are much (25)________ (tough) to steal, (26)_________their engine management computer won't allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this (27)_________ (help) achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner's keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a (28)_________(track)system.
If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre (29) _________ it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.
Staff at the centre will then contact the owner (30)___________ (confirm) that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's GPS unit.

The UK has been moving towards a cashless economy for some time, with ATM usage _____34_____ at about 6% to 10% a year. But Covid-19 supercharged this transition. "During

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension (45%)
Section A (15%)
Directions: For each blank in the following passages 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.
We have been putting smart women on the couch for 40 years without making full use of their talent. Today the portion of top jobs that go to women is still __41__ low. Why aren’t more women running things in America? It isn’t for lack of ambition or qualifications. 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. consequently
42. A. desire B. barrier C. challenge D. solution
43. A. promise B. suggest C. exceed D. demand
44. A. cautious B. grateful C. inevitable D. hopeful
45. A. myth B. corporation C. executive D. novelty
46. A. time B. income C. freedom D. promotion
47. A. happily B. reluctantly C. hesitantly D. rapidly
48. A. expected B. paid C. limited D. excluded
49. A. workload B. ambition C. management D. performance
50. A. regulation B. situation C. civilization D. culture
51. A. responsibilities B. contributions C. donations D. commitments
52. A. devotion B. supervision C. promotion D. employment
53. A. path B. advantage C. principle D. choice
54. A. altering B. considering C. criticizing D. fighting
55. 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 rivers
B. fishes cannot swim by way of the Atlantic
C. different rivers do not have the same salt content
D. 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 fish
B. the movement of fish doesn’t depend on human instruments
C. it is because of man that fish can move from one river to another
D. 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.

“The ancient Hawaiians were astronomers,” wrote Queen Liliuokaiani. Hawaii’s last reigning monarch, in 1897. 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 and
Hawaiian 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 features
B. its protective surroundings
C. its religious implications
D. its existing infrastructure
65. 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 criticism
B. passive acceptance
C. slight hesitancy
D. full approval
Section 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.
