According to a 2018 American Psychological Association survey of more than 3,000 people, the top ___41___ are work, money, the economy and health.Although everyone faces stress, people react to it ___42___. “ There ' s the situation, how we ___43___ the situation, and then our skills at handling the situation, says psychologist William” Lovallo of the University of Oklahoma. 44 experiences help us assess appropriateresponses, so most people improve with age. “ A high school student or a college student might not have those ___45___ skills and might let a situation get out of hand, he adds. ”Most ___46___have normal stress responses, regulated to give the right burst of hormones （激素）and bodily changes for a particular stressor.

House and tree have been here, side by side, for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the house at the beginning of the 1900s.It was still rather young and flexible back then, so it easily welcomed the new structure into its path. it bent and adjusted itself to make room, and to find the space to grow big and strong and wise. Which means that some hundred years later, the solid, strong branches of the tree reach around two full sides of my home. It ' s c(ove苔re藓d )in ,m wahsicsh is, in turn, crawling with allsorts of inseets. I have never seen the insects, by the way, I just know that they ' re there all the birds trying to pick them out. They are always hopping around, looking for this and that and singing songs.I feel like I have become part of the ecosystem. When I ' m eating breakfast or making dinner in the kitchen, I can look out and see a bird hopping around skillfully, gathering its own meal while I tend to mine. When I ' m sitting in the living room, reading or drinking tea, I can suddenly findmyself face to face with another bird. We ' ll be staring at each other and, after some time, decidewe can both carry on with our business. Living side by side. Even as I write this -- the largewindows open to a lovely, soft evening -- a white feather comes floating down by my side. Probably from one of the resident pigeons.As I don ' t have the luxury of a garden, this tree makes me fell connected to the outdoors. Such an ancient tree, a tree that is itself home to many other creatures -- that feels different. It is as if it has adopted me and made me a part of its world, without ever asking for something in return.

Ourcollective tiredness has promoted a $41 billion market for devicespromising more -- and higher - quality -- sleep. In my everlasting search for downtime, I tested some of the most promising ones.

Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are spreadable. But way some travel far and wide while equally good ones remain in relative insignificance has been a mystery. Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to imitate how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger “ epidemicstha”n equally good ideas from less well -known places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the new study. “ This implies that where an idea is born shapes how far it spreads, holding the quality of the idea constant. says senior author Aaron Clauset, also at Boulder.Not only is this unfair -- “ it reveals a big weakness in how we ' re dosianygs sSciimenocne ,DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, who was not involved in the study. There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. “ They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost, D”eDeo says. “ Our science, our scholarship, is not as good because of this.The Colorado researchers analyzed an existing data set of computer science department hires in North America, as well as a database of publications by these hires. First they looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time -- and in 81 percent of those cases, transfers took place from higher- to lower -status universities. Then the team imitated the broadcasting of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea “ epidemic (a”s measured by the number of institutions that published studies on an idea after it originated) depended on the status of the originating institution. The findings were published online last October in EPJ Data Science.The researchers mo'del suggests that there “ may be a number of quite good ideas thatoriginate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities, Clauset says. DeDeo a”grees. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places, he says: “ You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don ' t know because they ' re not even paying attention. ”63.The word “ this in” paragraph 2 refers to the fact that ________ .A. the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spreadB.the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintainC.good ideas from less important institutions lack influenceD.scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless64.The case of some hires in paragraph 3 is used to indicate _________ .A. the statistics the epidemological model provides for the researchersB.why the originating institutions transfer their new findingsC.how they carry the ideas from lower - to higher - status institutionsD. the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects65.Researchers such as Clauset are very much concerned about __________ .A. losing quite a number of great and creative thoughtsB.missing the opportunities of getting more well -knownC.misusing the epidemiological model in scientific research areasD.having difficulty in finding more proper science department hires66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Infectious DiseasesB. Original IdeasC. Idea EpidemicD. Epidemiological ModelSection 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. So we try to push back the tide and keep up by multi - tasking.B.No wonder people say they ' re too busy to see friends, exercise or sleep.C.Would it surprise you to hear that we have more leisure time today than ever?D. How can we learn to spend time in a way that ' s more likely to lead to happiness andsuccess?E.It ' s something that economist have been puzzling over and they ' ve identified several reasons.F.Then you will have fewer empty experiences and far ore that are worthy of your precious time.The Fullness of TimeMost of us think we have very little time, but the truth is we actually have a lot - on average, five hours 49 minutes each day, which means we typically have somewhere between 36 and 40 hours available to be spent every week however we want. So why don - ric'h? t we feel time________ 67 _______One is that we earn more, so time feels more expensive. Then there ' s the way we ' ve com see busyness as a status symbol: important people are busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to that the flood of incoming emails and texts, along with the endless ocean of possibilities, and it to see where time goes.A second factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others aredoing, making us anxious. ______ 68 _______ This fools us into thinking we ' re being more productive with our work time, so we try to do it with our leisure time, too. When we ' re p with out kids, we check Facebook. When we ' re hanging out with one group of friends, we postpictures to show another. This is something sociologists call ‘ polluted time '.We' re also addicted to our devices. In 2007, the amount of leisure time we spent on devices like smart -phones could be measured in minutes. Now, we spend on average 3.5 hours a day online. 69You might be wondering why you need help deciding how to spend your free time -- after all you know the sort of things you enjoy, so what could be so difficult? Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has a surprising opinion on it. “ The popular assumption is that no skills are involved in enjoying free time, anybody can do it. Yet the evidence suggests the opposite; free time is more difficult to enjoy than work. Worryingly, sc”ientists have found that people are often no happier after a holiday than if they ' d never taken one. ________ 70 _______ The question stillremains unsettled.Ⅱ.Summary Writing 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.Cryptocurrency (加密货币)Making payments online is very easy these days if you have a credit card or a bank card that used a payment network. Sending money online to a friend, you have to use a payment service like Google Pay or PayPal, or make a bank transfer. However, there is usually a significant delay before the receiver can use the money, and transfers can have sizeable fees.In 2008, a group of people published a paper describing a process that would use crypto -graph (密码学) to create a secure electronic cash system, known as a cryptocurrency. Person - to - person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial organization. Each transaction could happen very quickly. The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to confirm those transactions safely. Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.Today, there are over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. Most are still trying to be valid global payment systems like Bitcoin. They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry. One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their electronic cash. The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.Another problem is the large number of false cryptocurrencies advertised on the Internet. The advertisements invite Internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies. Many visitors are persuaded to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual money. Later, the websites disappear along with the victims money'. In response to this problem, companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.Ⅱ. Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.我真的应该为自己失礼的行为向你道歉。

The sun was rising, and the sky was filled with beautiful colors. As we walked along the wall, we could see the mountains in the distance. The view was breathtaking.The Great Wall is an amazing engineering achievement. It's said that it took thousands of workers and many years to build. We learned a lot about the history and culture of China from our guide.I was amazed by the length and height of the wall. It's so big that it can be seen from space! We also visited a watchtower, where we could see the wall from above. It was an unforgettable experience.passage 2The Internet has become an integral part of our lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, access information, and do business. However, with great power comes great responsibility.One of the most significant advantages of the Internet is the ease of communication. We can now connect with people from all over the world in seconds. This has greatly facilitated global cooperation and understanding.Another advantage is the access to a vast amount of information. With just a few clicks, we can find information on any topic. This has made learning and research much more efficient.However, the Internet also has its drawbacks. One of the biggest issues is cyberbullying. Many people use the anonymity of the Internet to harass and intimidate others. This can have severe consequences on the mental health of the victims.Another problem is the spread of misinformation. With the ease of sharing information, it's difficult to discern between fact and fiction.

Studies have shown that regular physical activity can enhance memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. This is especially important for students who need to stay focused and productive.In addition to the mental health benefits, exercise is crucial for maintaining physical health. It can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Regular exercise also strengthens bones and muscles, making us more resistant to injuries.However, it's important to choose the right type of exercise for our needs. Some people prefer cardio exercises, while others enjoy strength training or yoga. It's essential to find an activity that we enjoy and can stick to.In conclusion, exercise is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. By incorporating regular physical activity into our daily routines, we can improve our overall well-being.三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）Many people believe that happiness is a goal to be achieved. However, happiness is not something that can be obtained through external means. Instead, it is an internal state that we can cultivate.The first step to cultivating happiness is to focus on the present moment. Often, we are too concerned about the future or regretting the past. By living in the present, we can appreciate the beauty of life and find joy in the small things.Another important aspect of happiness is gratitude. We often take for granted the things we have in life. By expressing gratitude, we can acknowledge the blessings we receive and appreciate them more.Additionally, practicing kindness and helping others can also contribute to our happiness. When we help others, we feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose. This can improve our self-esteem and overall well-being.However, happiness is not always easy to achieve. We may face challenges and setbacks along the way. It's important to be resilient and maintain a positive mindset. By embracing difficulties as opportunities for growth, we can learn and improve ourselves.In conclusion, happiness is a state of mind that we can cultivate through mindfulness, gratitude, kindness, and resilience.

The rapid development of technology and industrialization has led to serious environmental problems, such as air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change. As a result, it is crucial for us to take immediate action to protect our environment.Firstly, environmental protection is essential for the survival of our planet. The natural resources on Earth are finite, and if we continue to exploit them without consideration, we may face severe consequences, such as natural disasters and the loss of biodiversity.Secondly, environmental protection is closely related to our health and well-being.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient creatures likely evolved the stress response to better escape from hunters. But today its causes include traffic, deadlines and first dates. According to a 2018 American Psychological Association survey of more than 3,000 people, the top 41 are work, money, the economy and health.Although everyone faces stress, people react to it 42 . "There's the situation, how we 43 the situation, and then our skills at handling the situation," says psychologist William Lovallo of the University of Oklahoma. __44 experiences help us assess appropriate responses, so most people improve with age. "A high school student or a college student might not have those 45 skills and might let a situation get out of hand," he adds.Most 46 have normal stress responses, regulated to give the right burst of hormones（激素）and bodily changes for a particular stressor. But others always over-or underreact, which may be a warning sign for physical or mental 47 . To study this, scientists often monitor cortisol（皮质醇）or heart rate variations throughout the day and during trying tasks.48 the intensity of these responses seems to be set from a young age. Studies have shown that people who experienced childhood hardships一including physical punishment and a（n） 49 home一are more likely to have quiet stress reactions as adults. For example, as part of a study published in 2012, Lovallo exposed 354 participants to moderate stress.

While the study tasks were not important, the individuals' underreactions suggest their stress response may also have trouble 51 when it really matters. Tt can be just as 52 as an extreme response.

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)I live in a second-floor flat with an ancient tree right on the corner of the house. House and tree have been here, side by side, for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the house at the beginning of the 1900s.It was still rather young and flexible back then, so it easily welcomed the new structure into its path. Tt bent and adjusted itself to make room, and to find the space to grow big and strong and wise. Which means that some hundred years later, the solid, strong branches of the tree reach around two full sides of my home. It's covered in moss (苔薛), which is, in turn, crawling with all sorts of insects. 1 have never seen the insects, by the way, 1 just know that they're there because of all the birds trying to pick them out. They are always hopping around, looking for this and that and singing songs.I feel like I have become part of the ecosystem. When I'm eating breakfast or making dinner in the kitchen, I can look outand see a bird hopping around skillfully, gathering its own meal while I tend to mine. When Fm sitting in the living room, reading or drinlcing tea, I can suddenly find myself face to face with another bird. We'll be staring at each other and, after some time, decide we can both carry on with our business. Living side by side. Even as T write thisthe large windows open to a lovely, soft evening一a white feather comes floating down by my side. Probably from one of the resident pigeons.As 1 don't have the luxury of a garden, this tree makes me feel connected to the outdoors. Such an ancient tree, a tree that is itself home to many other creatures—that feels different. It is as if it has adopted me and made me a part of its world, without ever asking for something in return. But if needs be, T know that it can count on me and T will protect it with all my strength.56. The flat the author lives in is .A. built in an ancient treeB. hugged by a giant treeC. decorated with branchesD. surrounded by a garden57. Tn the author's description, she implies that _____A. birds keep her warm companyB. she has been living on tree productsC. moss makes her flat nice and coolD. she has been bothered by the insects58. What does the author really treasure?A. A close-to-nature life.B. A luxurious garden.C. A spacious house.D. A sociable neighbor.59.Which of the following can be used to express the author's feeling?A.Jealous.B. Inferior.C. Content.D. Passionate.(B)The Sleep of Your DreamsAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a third of us don't get nearly enough shut-eye. Our collective tiredness has promoted a $41 billion market for devices promising more 一and higher-quality 一sleep. In my everlasting search fbr downtime, I tested some of the most promising ones. Here's how they stacked up.* REM: rapid eye movement (describes a period of sleep during which you dream and your eyes make small movements)60. By "how they stacked up” in paragraph 1, the author probably means "how they _______A. make sense to manufacturersB. get stuck in storesC. are compared with each otherD. are piled up together 61. Which of the following devices favourably reacts to users?A. Dreampad pillowB. Eight sleep trackerC. Smart Nora Wireless Snoring SolutionD. Nightingale Smart Home Sleep System 62. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The Eight keeps the entire bed at the same temperature.B. The Nightingale is an economical but perfect device.C. Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D. One in three people suffer from sleep problem.(C)An epidemic is the occurrence of a disease which affects a very large number of people living in an area and which spreads quickly to other people. Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are spreadable. But why some travel far and wide while equally good ones remain in relative insignificance has been a mystery. Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to imitate how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger "epidemics" than equally good ideas from less well-known places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the new study. "This implies that where anEight sleep tracker? $299This mattress (床垫)topper fits under a sheet and >“turns any bed into a smart bed,,, according to Eight" While Tslept, the sensor-decorated pad gathered data < like heart rate,periods of deepest sleep, and number of: turns.

The only downside: in standby mode, it emits a faint noise. REM Score: 9idea is born shapes how far it spreads, holding the quality of the idea constant." says senior author Aaron Clauset, also at Boulder.Not only is this unfair~~''it reveals a big weakness in how we're doing science," says Simon DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, who was not involved in the study. There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. "They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost," DeDeo says. "Our science, our scholarship, is not as good because of this.,,The Colorado researchers analyzed an existing data set of computer science department hires in North America, as well as a database of publications by these hires. First they looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time一and in 81 percent of those cases, transfers took place from higher-to lower-status universities. Then the team imitated the broadcasting of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea "epidemic" (as measured by the number of institutions that published studies on an idea after it originated) depended on the status of the originating institution. The findings were published online last October in EP J Data Science.The researchers9 model suggests that there "may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities,Clauset says. DeDeo agrees. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places, he says: "You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don't know because they're not even paying attention.,,63.The word "this" in paragraph 2 refers to the fact that .A.the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spreadB.the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintainC.good ideas from less important institutions lack influenceD.scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless64.The case of some hires in paragraph 3 is used to indicate .A.the statistics the epidemiological model provides for the researchersB.why the originating institutions transfer their new findingsC.how they carry the ideas from lower- to higher-status institutionsD.the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects65.Researchers such as Clauset are very much concerned about .A.losing quite a number of great and creative thoughtsB.missing the opportunities of getting more well-knownC.misusing the epidemiological model in scientific research areasD.having difficulty in finding more proper science department hires66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Infectious DiseasesB. Original IdeasC. Idea EpidemicD. Epidemiological ModelSection 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.The Fullness of TimeMost of us think we have very little time, but the truth is we actually have a lot一on average, five hours 49 minutes each day, which means we typically have somewhere between 36 and 40 hours available to be spent every week however we want. So why don't we feel time-rich? 67One is that we earn more, so time feels more expensive. Then there's the way we've come to see busyness as a status symbol: important people are busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to that the flood of incoming emails and texts, along with the endless ocean of possibilities, and it's easy to see where time goes.A second factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others are doing, making us anxious.68 This fools us into thinking we're being more productive with our work time, so we try to do it with our leisure time, too. When we're playing with our kids, we check Facebook. When we're hanging out with one group of friends, we post pictures to show another. This is something sociologists call "polluted time'.We're also addicted to our devices. In 2007, the amount of leisure time we spent on devices like smartphones could be measured in minutes. Now, we spend on average 3.5 hours a day online. 69You might be wondering why you need help deciding how to spend your free time—after all you know the sort of things you enjoy, so what could be so diffic ult? Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has a surprising opinion on it. “The popular assumption is that no skills are involved in enjoying free time, anybody can do it. Yet the evidence suggests the opposite; free time is more difficult to enjoy than work." Worryingly, scientists have found that people are often no happier after a holiday than if they'd never taken one. 70 The question still remains unsettled.TV. Summary WritingDirections: 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.Cryptocurrency（加密货币）Making payments online is very easy these days if you have a credit card or a bank card that uses a payment network. Sending money online to a friend, you have to use a payment service like Google Pay or PayPal, or make a bank transfer. However, there is usually a significant delay before the receiver can use the money, and transfers can have sizeable fees.In 2008, a group of people published a paper describing a process that would use cryptograph（密码学）to create a secure electronic cash system, known as a cryptocurrency. Person-to-person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial organization. Each transaction could happen very quickly. The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to confirm those transactions safely. Getting rid of the need for a centralized bankingsystem would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.Today, there are over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. Most are still trying to be valid global payment systems like Bitcoin. They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry. One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their electronic cash in virtual "wallets" or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another. However, clever thieves have broken into many of these websites and stolen electronic cash. The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.Another problem is the large number of false cryptocurrencies advertised on the Internet. The advertisements invite Internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies. Many visitors are persuaded to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual money. Later, the websites disappear along with the victims, money. Tn response to this problem, companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.V.

Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D. One in three people suffer from sleep problem.(C)An epidemic is the occurrence of a disease which affects a very large number of people living in an area and which spreads quickly to other people. Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are spreadable. But why some travel far and wide while equally good ones remain in relative insignificance has been a mystery. Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to imitate how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideasoriginating at famous institutions caused bigger "epidemics" than equally good ideas from less well-known places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the new study.

There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. "They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost," DeDeo says. "Our science, our scholarship, is not as good because ofthis.,,The Colorado researchers analyzed an existing data set of computer science department hires in North America, as well as a database of publications by these hires. First they looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time一and in 81 percent ofthose cases, transfers took place from higher-to lower-status universities. Then the team imitated the broadcasting of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea "epidemic" (as measured by the number of institutions that published studies on an idea after it originated) depended on the status of the originating institution. The findings were published online last October in E PEP J Data Science.The researchers9model suggests that there "may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities,Clauset says. DeDeo agrees. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places, he says: "You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don't know because they're not even paying attention.,, 63.The word "this""this" in paragraph 2 refers to the fact that .A.the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spreadB.the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintainC.good ideas from less important institutions lack influenceD.scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless64.The case of some hires in paragraph 3 is used to indicate .A.the statistics the epidemiological model provides for the researchersB.why the originating institutions transfer their new findingsC.how they carry the ideas from lower- to higher-status institutionsD.the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects65.Researchers such as Clauset are very much concerned about .A.losing quite a number of great and creative thoughtsB.missing the opportunities of getting more well-knownC.misusing the epidemiological model in scientific research areasD.having difficulty in finding more proper science department hires66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.

So why don't we feel time-rich? 67One is that we earn more, so time feels more expensive. Then there's the way we've come to see busyness as a status symbo important people are busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to that the flood of incoming emails and texts, along with the endle ocean of possibilities, and it's easy to see where time goes.A second factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others are doing, making us anxious.68 This fools us into thinking we're being more productive with our work time, so we try to do it with our leisure time, too. Wh we're playing with our kids, we check Facebook. When we're hanging out with one group of friends, we post pictures to show another. This is something sociologists call "polluted time'.our devices.

Yet the evidence suggests the opposite; free time is mor difficult to enjoy than work."

Person-to-person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial organization. Each transaction could happen very quickly. The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to confirm those transactions safely.

the Vatican Museums.He has seen the splendor of the Sistine Chapel and admired the textures of ancient Egypt.“Yes,I’m a key keeper.But the doors I open are the ones to the history of art,and it’s here that exists the biggest and most beautiful history in the world,”says Crea.The Vatican Museums have(31)______collections since the15th century,including tens of thousands of artworks and artifacts spanning prehistory to modern times.The most(32)______ one of them,according to Crea,is Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.He recalls being(33)______ with emotion the first time he accompanied the former head key keeper to open the chapel more than20years ago.Since then,he’s witnessed people of all faiths(34)______at the chapel’s loveliness,something the church believes is increasingly vital during

best fits the context.Mathematics has an image problem:far too many people are put off by it and conclude that the subject just isn’t for them.But one of the biggest problems is how maths is___41___,as cold and dry.I have a different approach which is to relate abstract maths to questions of politics and social justice.I have taught fairly maths-phobic(恐惧)art students in this way and have seen their attitudes___42___.They now believe maths is___43___them and can genuinely help them.At a basic level,maths is founded on logic,so when I am teaching logic,I use examples from ___44___events rather than the old-fashioned type of problem.Instead of studying the logic of a statement like“all dogs have four legs”,I might discuss the statement“all immigrants are illegal”.But I do this with specific mathematical structures,too.___45___,I teach a type of structure called an ordered set,which is subject to an order relation such as“is less than”.We then study and ask which functions are“order-preserving”.A typical example might be the function that takes a(n)___46___number and maps it to the number obtained from multiplying by2.We would then say that if x<y then also2x<2y,so the function is order-preserving.___47___,rather than sticking to this type of dry mathematical example,I introduce issues like privilege and wealth.If we think of one ordered set with people ordered by status,we can make a function to another set where the people are now ordered by___48___instead.If someone has a higher status,are they automatically wealthier?We can also ask about working hours and ___49___:if someone works more hours,do they___50___earn more?The answer there is clearly not.My approach is controversial because,traditionally,maths is supposed to be___51___and apolitical(与政治无关的).I have been___52___by people who think my approach will be off-putting(令人烦恼的)to those who don’t care about social justice.However,the dry approach is off-putting to those who do care.In fact,I believe that all academic disciplines should address our most important issues.Abstract maths is about making thorough logical arguments,which is linked to everything.I don’t___53___that students agree with me about politics,but I do ask that they construct thorough arguments to back up their thoughts and develop the crucial ability to analyze the logic of people they___54___.Maths isn’t just about numbers and equations(方程式);it is about studying different ___55___systems.We can apply it to balls rolling down different hills,but we can also apply it to pressing social issues.I think we should do both,for the sake of society and to be more inclusive towards different types of students in maths education.41.

A.legal B.operating C.logical D.grading Section BDirections: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)One summer night in a seaside cottage,a boy felt himself lifted from bed.Then,with the swiftness of a dream,he was held in his father’s arms out onto the nearby beach.Overhead the sky blazed with stars.“Watch!”Incredibly,as his father spoke,one of the stars moved.In a line of golden fire it flashed across the astonished heavens.And before the wonder of this could fade, another star leaped from its place,then another,plunging towards the restless sea.“What’s this?”the child whispered.“Shooting stars.They come every year on a certain August night.I thought you’d like to see the show.”That was all:just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful.But,back in bed,the child stared for a long time into the dark,knowing that all around the quiet house, the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars.Decades have passed,but I remember that night still,because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep.No doubt I had all the usual childhood entertainment,but those are forgotten now. What I remember is the night of the shooting stars,and the day we rode in a caboose(列车末尾的职工车厢),the telegraph we made that really worked,and the‘trophy table’in the dining room where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found—anything unusual or beautiful—snake skins,seashells,flowers,arrowheads...I remember the thought-provoking(引人深思的)books left by my bedside that pushed back my horizons and sometimes actually changed my life.My father had,to a marvellous degree,the gift of opening doors for his children,of leading them into areas of splendid newness.This subtle art of adding dimensions to a child’s world doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of time.It simply involves doing things more often with our children instead of for them or to them.56.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph4mean?A.The child was still immersed in the beautiful scenery just now.B.The child was too frightened to fall asleep because of darkness.C.The child wanted to listen more to the music about falling stars.D.The child felt grateful to his father for what he showed him.57.All the things the author remember from his childhood are__________.A.unusual and novelB.dangerous and demandingC.strange and uncommoncational and thought-provoking58.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Parents should interfere more with their children’s learning.B.Parents should push their children to try to do everything on their own.C.Parents should devote energy to exploring new things for their children.D.Parents should encourage children to be curious and explore new things in life.59.What’s the best title for this passage?A.Limitless knowledgeB.Father,the hero of my lifeC.Curiosity aroused that nightD.The unusual things in my life(B)What’s UP?Here,let’s take a look at some excellent book reviews for this month.Dead Good Detectives Jenny McLachlanThis is the story of a12-year-old girl called Sidwho loves playing horrorgames with her friends.Butwhen she

Duncan Lorimer reported finding a new kind of astronomical event.It was a brief stream of energy so powerful that it could reach Earth from a galaxy billions of light-years away.He called it a fast radio burst(FRB).This remarkable find,if real,could make huge contributions to the study about universe.He predicted there would be many more–but that year,he spotted just one.It’s not unheard of for one event to kick off a whole new field of scientific inquiry.Still it’s rare.When Lorimer’s paper came out in the journal,it was not surprising that many were skeptical.“Sometimes,what seems like a remarkable scientific discovery turns out to be an error in the data,”some commented.Later,a young graduate student was assigned the task of finding more ing the same radio telescope Lorimer once used,she found more bursts that just looked like FRBs.But because of the ways they appeared in the telescope data,she was virtually certain that they were some other kind of radio interference and gave them another name:perytons.As years ticked by and no more FRBs were discovered,some astronomers began to conclude Lorimer had found nothing more than an unusual example of one of these perytons.Good news:in2011,there was a report of a second FRB.Four more were found in2013.Bad news:all of them came from the same Lorimer’s radio telescope.But ultimately,in2014,there was a report from another radio telescope.More discoveries started showing up from other telescopes on a somewhat regular basis.At last the conversation about FRBs shifted–from whether they were real to where they came from.Years of research have passed by since then.Now,Victoria Kaspi,a physics professor and principal investigator on the FRB team,predicts that once the more advanced telescopes come online in2024,the location and distance of most FRBs detected can be found out,which will provide“golden opportunities for astronomers to study the large-scale structure of the universe”.Finally,this“unicorn”story came to a somehow surprising end.Several years ago,a team reanalyzed the same data from the radio telescope by which Lorimer found the first FRB.There was one more that they had previously missed.Since then,other teams have analyzed even older data and found FRBs in those datasets too.“They were just sitting there,waiting to be discovered by better techniques,”Lorimer says.63.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in paragraph3?A.Optimistic.B.Curious.C.Supportive.D.Doubtful.64.Why did the author mention unicorns in the first paragraph?A.To suggest that the new scientific discovery was a myth.B.To imply magical creatures may actually exist in the world.C.To symbolize the previously unknown and unseen discoveries.D.To quote an incident that once happened in the field of science.65.Why was it bad news that other FRBs found also came from Lorimer’s telescope?A.Because it might mean the results were not reliable.B.Because they were all found by a young graduate student.C.Because these were given the name perytons and were not real FRBs.D.Because not every astronomer had the same type of telescope as Lorimer.66.What can we imply from this passage?A.It’s possible for just one event to start a new field of scientific research.B.New scientific discoveries can’t be made without advanced research techniques.C.Scientists shouldn’t deny new discoveries even if they lack evidence temporarily.D.Scientists should be careful to distinguish new discoveries from errors in the datasets. Section 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.Training will ease your annoyance as your pets tend to obey more and behave better.B.Giving them an extra piece of chicken for a job well done is essential for a strong relationship.C.They usually communicate through body language so you need to pay attention to them.D.You should always learn to be patient and accept that there will be a period of adjustment.E.But playtime is still a necessary and effective activity to share fun moments together.F.The Internet is a good place to figure out how you can train them efficiently.Strengthen Bonds With Your New PetWelcoming a new pet can be a magical moment for a lot of families.Unfortunately,many new pet owners struggle to bond with them.The following steps may help.This should go without saying but spending time with your pets can greatly help you form a strong relationship.Pets love to be included in every activity of their humans,whatever the activities are.(67)______________________________Cats love playing with yarn(纱线)balls and fishing pole toys.Dogs are outgoing and usually love playing games with tennis balls such as fetch.So it’s also important to learn what type of play your pet enjoys.Most people forget that training and teaching them tricks is a healthy outlet as well.(68) ______________________________Whether you’re teaching them simple commands like‘sit’or something more complex like‘turn around’or‘bow’,they’re sure to enjoy your company and will love you all the more for your attention,company and praises.Pets also love being rewarded with treats.(69)______________________________Moreover,when they begin to anticipate treats for good behaviour,they are more likely to be on their best behaviour,further making you and your pets grow closer.One more thing to notice is that taking care of a pet can be a wonderful experience and also be quite frustrating.For new pet owners,it can be confusing,especially if you don’t understandwhat your pet needs or wants at any given time.(70)______________________________This might take a day or two,or might take months.But eventually,you will reap what you sow. IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.Benefits of Green SpacesWe all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh springweather.It allows your mind to relax and forget about theproblems in everyday life.Studies have commonly shown thebenefits of being around green spaces,including gardens,urbanparks and forests.But did you know that being in contact with these natural surroundings during childhood could positively impact your mental health as an adult?A study by the Institute for Global Health surveyed3,600people from all over Europe.The all-adult study gave participants a questionnaire(问卷)on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood—for example,playing in a garden or riding a bike at the park. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.Volunteers were then given a psychological test,which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities,to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period.The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure—as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces.The study’s assistant,Wilma Smith,wrote that the results“show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood”.She also stressed the importance of“recognizing the implications of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.According to the study,73percent of Europe’s population only has limited access to natural spaces.So we call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.While this study was based in Europe,a lack of green space can affect anyone,anywhere.So remember to make time to expose yourself to nature,as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.凡今天购买这款手机的顾客可享七折优惠。

Flexible working hours, or “Flextime”, are catching on fast, and trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, this number had risen to over 200,000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960’s,but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must present for certain “key” timesin the day, and secondly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.The system had proved a total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages:a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employer’s point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labour turnover and give workers a greater sense of duty. At first, “Flexible” was mainly confined to white-collar workers, but it is now being applied to manual workers too.1.According to “Flextime” system, workers need not _________.A．work at the sametime B．work all the weekdays C．workhard D．askfor leave when being absent2.“Key” time is a period when _________.A．visitors come to the plantsB．all workers must be at workC．employers go round in the workshopD．rush hours are over3.No matter where it is used, this system has proved _________. A．entirelyeffective B．totallycorrectC．a completefailure D．quitedifficult4.One of the great advantages of “Flextime” for workers is thatthey _________.A．have a great sense of duty B．can avoid busy trafficC．can get higherpay D．can avoid working hardSYS20130403084详细信息20. 难度：中等Fastest Time to Run 100 Miles on a Treadmill (跑步机) BROKENThe fastest time to run 100 miles on a treadmill by a team (of 1 is claimed at 9hr 5 min 17 sec by a team consisting of staff and prisoners at the You Offenders Institute in Wigan to raise money for Children in Need.Largest Game of ChineseWhispers UNBROKENSadly, the record attempt for the largest game of Chinese Whispe was unsuccessful on 13 November 2008.

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is abiological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: "The hand took hold of the ball"), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders. Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact (互动). Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you'll understand why.1.Mirror neurons can explain _________.A．why we cry when we are hurtB．why we cough when we suffer from a coldC．why we smile when we see someone else smileD．why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late2.The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “_________”.A．set off B．cutoff C．built up D．broken up3.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _________. A．relate to human behavior and interactionB．control human physical actions and feelingsC．result in bad behavior and social disordersD．determine our knowledge and language abilities4.What is the passage mainly about?A．Ways to find mirror neurons. B．Problems of mirror neurons.C．Existence of mirrorneurons. D．Functions of mirror neurons.SYS201304030845五、信息匹配详细信息22. 难度：中等Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Be well-organized.B. Close with a Q & A.C. Don’t be contradictory .D. Bring it to a specific end.E. Speak slowly and pause.F. Drop unnecessary words.Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speechis truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:1.When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it.2.Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.3.Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (责任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You canarrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottomor by some other order. Just be sure to organize.4.Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other uselessnoises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sounduncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed thatthey can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that wasmarked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes.Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.5.Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q& A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over andwhen they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by settinga time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks foryour time. ”SYS201304030846六、其他题详细信息23. 难度：简单However important we may regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and frustrate curricular objectives.Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many principles have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscriptwriting and developmental mathematics. Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate (升华) his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a standard or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he willsoon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers’ conferences with parents are devoted to petty (不重要的) accounts of children’s misdeeds, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for penalties and rewards at home.What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, p lants ideas in parents’ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements with NO MORE THAN 14 WORDS)1.Why do parents also have great influence on children?_________________________________________________________________________ .2.Through which ways can the teacher play an important role in enlightening parents?_________________________________________________________________________ .3.According to the teacher, that parents should let the boy____________________________ if he wants to sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels in teaching his son arithmetic.4.A more creative approach is needed for ___________________of children out of classroom.SYS20130403084详细信息24. 难度：中等Translate the following sentences into English, using the words givenin the brackets.1.他曾在当地一所学校工作。

It is broadly defined as low （1）travel to endangered and often undisturbed locations. It is different from traditional tourism because it allows the traveler to become educated about the areas. And it often provides funds for conservation and （2）the economic development of places that are frequently poverty ﹣stricken.Ecotourism and other forms of sustainable travel have their （3）with the environmental movement of the 1970s. Ecotourism itself did not become prevalent （流行的）as a travel concept until the late 1980s. During that time，increasing environmental awareness and a desire to travel to natural locations as （4）to built up tourist locations made ecotourism desirable.Since then，several different organizations specializing in ecotourism have developed and many different people have become experts on it. Martha D. Honey，PhD，a co﹣founder of the Center for Responsible Tourism，（5），is just one of many ecotourism experts.Opportunities for ecotourism exist in many different locations worldwide and its activities can vary （6）.Madagascar，for instance，is famous for its ecotourist activity as it is a biodiversity hotspot，but also has a high priority for environmental conservation and is devoted to reducingpoverty. Conservation International says that 80% of the country's animals and 90% of its plants are （7）to the island. Madagascar's lemurs （马达加斯加狐猴）are just one of many （8）that people visit the island to see.Because the island's government is （9）to conservation，ecotourism is allowed in small numbers because education and funds from the travel will make it easier in the future. （10），this tourist revenue also aids in reducing the country's poverty.Despite the popularity of ecotourism in the above﹣mentioned examples，there are several（11）of ecotourism as well. The first of these is that there is no one definition of the term so it is difficult to know which trips are （12）considered ecotourism.Critics of ecotourism also cite that increased tourism to （13）areas or ecosystems without proper planning and management can actually harm the ecosystem and its species because the infrastructure needed to sustain tourism such as roads can contribute to environmental degradation （恶化）.Ecotourism is also said by critics to have a negative impact on （14）communities because the arrival of foreign visitors and wealth can shift political and economic conditions and sometimes make the area （15）tourism instead of the domestic economic practices.Regardless of these criticisms though，ecotourism and tourism，in general，are increasing in popularity all over the globe and tourism plays a large role in many worldwide economies.（1）A. impact B. frequency C. standard D. profit（2）A. undergoes B. supervises C. benefits D. ignores（3）A. agencies B. impacts C. obstacles D. origins（4）A. addicted B. opposed C. reduced D. attached（5）A. in particular B. in a sense C. as a result D. for example（6）A. widely B. accordingly C. respectively D. naturally（7）A. subject B. fatal C. peculiar D. close（8）A. residents B. species C. properties D. locations（9）A. restricted B. accustomed C. connected D. committed（10）A.

She had a child with her who must have been about 3 or 4 years old.The bus was full，bumpy，and it soon got noisy as her kid began crying because he couldn't sit next to his mother. There were a couple of open seats，but they weren't together.She was flustered and looked embarrassed.Then another woman，a little older，stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit together. The mom smiled as a thank﹣you. And then three words came out of the older woman's mouth that elevated the entire energy of that bus ride："I've been there".Simple，undramatic and honest. In that moment，it seemed to unite people. Why？Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences. We forget that，as we forge（前进）through life，focused on our own troubles and needs﹣which are actually less unique than we think. How can these three words create more connection in your life？Ask yourself："Where am I holding back？One thing I know for sure is this：Healing others helps heal yourself. I noticed this recently with my friend，Tracy，who took a new friend who had suffered a miscarriage under her wing. Tracy had three of them before having her daughter two years ago. Our intellect needs a doctor to explain the medical side of things，yes. But our souls need human connection to help us along. No one can do that better than someone who has been exactly where you are.Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now？It can be as simple as volunteering your seat，sharing some helpful advice or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that someone's uncomfortable﹣because we're all in this together.（1）The underlined word "flustered" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to.A. angryB. anxiousC. scaredD. upset（2）What does the woman mean by saying "I've been there" in the third paragraph？A. The woman was on the bus and saw what had happened to the boy.B. The woman got to her destination and was ready to get off the bus.C. The woman once had the similar experience with that mother.D. The woman took the exact seat that the boy was on just now.（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？A. Everyone has his or her own unique problem that is difficult to solve.B. Doctors can help us get through when we have mental or physical problems.C. The author's friend Tracy felt better after she was comforted by her new friend.D. One can indeed make a difference to those in need of help by doing simple things.（4）The passage is intended to.A. show a harmonious world by telling some touching storiesB. praise those who are willing to help others in emergenciesC. appeal to readers to give timely help to those in needD. illustrate some ways of helping others in detail18．（6分）VersonShock® U.S Patent #US8，555，526 B2.

But technology also seems to be complicating the picture.A paper published by a trio （三人小组）of Canadian economists，Paul Beaudry，DavidGreen and Benjamin Sand，questions optimistic assumptions about demand for non﹣routine work and shows that since 2000 the share of employment accounted for by high﹣skilled jobs in America has been falling. This analysis supports the view that technology has come as a blow to employment. Skilled and unskilled workers alike are in trouble. Those with a better education are still more likely to find work，but there is now a fair chance that it will be unenjoyable. Those who never made it to college face being squeezed out of the workforce altogether. This is the argument of the techno﹣pessimists.There is another，less pessimistic possibility. James Bessen，an economist at Boston University，finds that since 1980 employment has been growing faster in occupations that use computers than in those that do not. Partial automation can actually increase demand by reducing costs. But even though technology may not destroy jobs in all，it does force change upon many people.In many occupations it has become essential to acquire new skills as established ones become out﹣of﹣date. Burning Glass Technologies，a Boston﹣based startup that analyses labor markets by obtaining data from online job advertisements，finds that the biggest demand is for new combinations of skills﹣what its boss，Matt Sigelman，calls "hybrid jobs". The composition of new jobs is also changing rapidly.A college degree at the start of a working career does not answer the need for the continuous acquisition of new skills，especially as career spans（持续时间）are lengthening. V ocational training is good at giving people job﹣specific skills，but those，too，will need to be updated over and over again during a career lasting decades. Vocational training has a role，but training someone early to do one thing all their lives is not the answer to lifelong learning.Add all of this up，and it becomes clear that times have got tougher for workers of all kinds. A college degree is still a prerequisite（必备条件）for many jobs，but employers often do not trust it enough to hire workers just on the strength of that，without experience. In many occupations workers on company payrolls face the prospect that their existing skills will become outdated，yet it is often not obvious how they can gain new ones.（1）We can learn from the paper conducted by the Canadian economists that.A. employment has been shaken by technologyB. college degree is a necessity in career successC. skilled workers are no longer required in most American industriesD. techno﹣pessimism paves the way for future technology development（2）James Bessen believes that.A. increased demand can bring about cost reductionB. progressive automation is beneficial to companiesC. technology advancement has a positive impact on most peopleD. computer has always been an essential factor in employment（3）Burning Glass Technologies is mentioned as an example to show that.A. online job advertisements require a precise data analysisB. acquisition of new skills is essential in current job marketC. the composition of new jobs is shaped by technologyD. Matt Sigelman predicts a bright future of job market（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？A. Lifelong Learning：an Economic PriorityB. Technology Revolution：the Way to SuccessC. College Degree：a Guarantee for Career ChangeD. Vocational Training：a Blessing for Job SeekersSection 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.20．（8分）A. That makes not being distracted by work a major challenge.B. This gives them a more generous time period to wrap items up.C. A flexible schedule allows employees to work hours that differ from the normal companytime.D. But if you work flexible hours，you need to think through when you want to be on and offthe clock.E. People have this mindset because this time can seem like the few precious hours when theyare not interrupted.F. The important point is that you're not lying in bed at night trying to remember everything onyour mental to﹣do list.How to Leave Work at WorkSome jobs have very clear lines between when you're "on" and when you're "off，" whilein others the lines are vague ﹣or potentially nonexistent. （1）As a time management coach，I've found these three steps can help. I encourage you to challenge yourself to gradually implement these changes and see how much you can leave your work at work﹣both physically and mentally﹣in 2020.Step 1：Define "After Hours"If you have a traditional 9﹣to﹣5 job，your hours are set for you. （2）If your employer has a certain number of hours that you're expected to work each week，start by seeing how to fit those hours around your fixed personal commitments，like taking your kids to school or extracurricular activities. When do you need to start and stop to put in the proper work time？Step 2：Have Mental ClarityNext，make sure you have mental clarity on what needs to get done and when you will complete it. This includes having a place where you write down the many tasks that you need to do，whether that's in a notebook，a task management app，a project management system，or in your calendar. （3）Then once you have this list，plan out your work. This planning reduce anxiety that something will fall through the cracks or that you'll miss a deadline. The final part of increasing your mental clarity is to have an end﹣of﹣workday wrap ﹣up.Step 3：Get Work Done at WorkIt may seem crazy to say this，but I want to encourage you to give yourself permission to do work at work. For many，they perceive "real work" as something they reserve for post﹣5 or 6 pm，after everyone else has left the office or after they've tucked their kids in bed for the night. （4）But if you want to stop feeling distracted by work after hours，you need to actually do your work during the day.As individuals，we need a mental break to do our best work，and taking time for ourselves without the distraction of work can help us become our best selves. I can't guarantee that thoughts about work will never cross your mind，but with these four steps，you can reduce how much you're distracted by work after hours.Summary Writing21．（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 far as possible.Will people reduce car use in 20 years？Nowadays，the ownership of cars is no longer being recognized as a symbol of one's wealth and social position. Tracking back to the past when only the rich were qualified to possess private cars，we couldn't help marveling at the historic change such a convenient invention brought to people's daily lives. Nevertheless，the increase in the number of car owners is spelling many negative effects. These rising problems also cause some people to predict that the use of cars might be reduced in two decades.Above all，the use of cars remarkably threatens our environment，if such a tendency is not brought under control in time，the Earth will no longer be a suitable place for humans to survive in the future. People have to face the consequence. It is a reality from which no one is able to escape. Every day，thousands of private cars are emitting tons of exhausted gas that seriously pollutes the air. The carbon dioxide leads to the worldwide greenhouse effect，which causes the sea level to rise and produces negative impacts on weather. In addition，more energy is being wasted because of the production of private cars. In order to build a resource﹣conserving and environment﹣friendly society，people ought to reduce the use of cars.In fact，diversified measures are being taken by the government to limit the use of cars.If such a tendency continues，the effect will be shown in the near future. For example，to reach the goal of building a safe and harmonious society，Beijing Traffic Management Bureau has restricted regional traffic in rush hours on working days. A number of private cars are prohibited on no﹣driving﹣days.Last，the advancement of public transportation systems also helps change car owners' way of travelling. Efforts are being made to construct more agreeable networks of buses，subways，trains and airplanes. In the meanwhile，advances in technology might help cut down the cost of travelling in public vehicles.Translation Directions：Translate the following sentences into English，using the words given in the brackets.22．（3分）仅仅靠旅游来拓宽我们的视野是远远不够的。

A recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Centre showed that a mere 16% of Americans think that a four﹣year degree course prepares students very well for a high﹣paying job in the modern economy. But technology also seems to be complicating the picture.A paper published by a trio （三人小组）of Canadian economists, Paul Beaudry, David Green and Benjamin Sand, questions optimistic assumptions about demand for non﹣routine work and shows that since 2000 the share of employment accounted for by high﹣skilled jobs in America has been falling. This analysis supports the view that technology has come as a blow to employment. Skilled and unskilled workers alike are in trouble. Those with a better education are still more likely to find work, but there is now a fair chance that it will be unenjoyable. Those who never made it to college face being squeezed out of the workforce altogether. This is the argument of the techno﹣pessimists.There is another, less pessimistic possibility. James Bessen, an economist at Boston University, finds that since 1980 employment has been growing faster in occupations that use computers than in those that do not. Partial automation can actually increase demand by reducing costs. But even though technology may not destroy jobs in all, it does force change upon many people.In many occupations it has become essential to acquire new skills as established ones become out﹣of﹣date. Burning Glass Technologies, a Boston﹣based startup that analyses labor markets by obtaining data from online job advertisements, finds that the biggest demand is for new combinations of skills﹣what its boss, Matt Sigelman, calls "hybrid jobs". The composition of new jobs is also changing rapidly.A college degree at the start of a working career does not answer the need for the continuous acquisition of new skills, especially as career spans（持续时间）are lengthening. Vocational training is good at giving people job﹣specific skills, but those, too, will need to be updated over and over again during a career lasting decades. Vocational training has a role, but training someone early to do one thing all their lives is not the answer to lifelong learning.Add all of this up, and it becomes clear that times have got tougher for workers of all kinds.A college degree is still a prerequisite（必备条件）for many jobs, but employers often do not trust it enough to hire workers just on the strength of that, without experience. In many occupations workers on company payrolls face the prospect that their existing skills will become outdated, yet it is often not obvious how they can gain new ones.（1）We can learn from the paper conducted by the Canadian economists that________.A employment has been shaken by technologyB college degree is a necessity in career successC skilled workers are no longer required in most Americanindustries D techno﹣pessimism paves the way for future technology development．（2）James Bessen believes that________.A increased demand can bring about cost reductionB progressive automation is beneficial to companiesC technology advancement has a positive impact on most peopleD computer has always been an essential factor in employment．（3）Burning Glass Technologies is mentioned as an example to show that________.A online job advertisements require a precise data analysisB acquisition of new skills is essential in current job marketC the composition of new jobs is shaped by technologyD Matt Sigelman predicts a bright future of job market．（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？________A Lifelong Learning： an Economic PriorityB Technology Revolution： the Way to SuccessC College Degree： a Guarantee for Career ChangeD Vocational Training：a Blessing for Job Seekers．Section 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.7.How to Leave Work at WorkSome jobs have very clear lines between when you're "on" and when you're "off，" while in others the lines are vague ﹣ or potentially nonexistent. （1）________As a time management coach， I've found these three steps can help. I encourage you to challenge yourself to gradually implement these changes and see how much you can leave your work at work﹣both physically and mentally﹣in 2020.Step 1： Define "After Hours"If you have a traditional 9﹣to﹣5 job， your hours are set for you. （2）________ If your employer has a certain number of hours that you're expected to work each week，start by seeing how to fit those hours around your fixed personal commitments， like taking your kids to school or extracurricular activities. When do you need to start and stop to put in the proper work time？Step 2： Have Mental ClarityNext， make sure you have mental clarity on what needs to get done and when you will complete it. This includes having a place where you write down the many tasks that you need to do， whether that's in a notebook， a task management app， a project management system， or in your calendar. （3）________ Then once you have this list， plan out your work. This planning reduce anxiety that something will fall through the cracks orthat you'll miss a deadline. The final part of increasing your mental clarity is to have an end﹣of﹣workday wrap﹣up.Step 3： Get Work Done at WorkIt may seem crazy to say this， but I want to encourage you to give yourself permission to do work at work. For many， they perceive "real work" as something they reserve for post﹣5or 6 pm， after everyone else has left the office or after they've tucked their kids in bed for the night. （4）________ But if you want to stop feeling distracted by work after hours， you need to actually do your work during the day.As individuals，we need a mental break to do our best work，and taking time for ourselves without the distraction of work can help us become our best selves. I can't guarantee that thoughts about work will never cross your mind， but with these four steps， you can reduce how much you're distracted by work after hours.Summary Writing8. 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.Will people reduce car use in 20 years？Nowadays，the ownership of cars is no longer being recognized as a symbol of one's wealth and social position. Tracking back to the past when only the rich were qualified to possess private cars，we couldn't help marveling at the historic change such a convenient invention brought to people's daily lives. Nevertheless，the increase in the number of car owners is spelling many negative effects. These rising problems also cause some people to predict that the use of cars might be reduced in two decades.Above all， the use of cars remarkably threatens our environment，if such a tendency is not brought under control in time， the Earth will no longer be a suitable place for humans to survive in the future. People have to face the consequence. It is a reality from which no one is able to escape. Every day，thousands of private cars are emitting tons of exhausted gas that seriously pollutes the air. The carbon dioxide leads to the worldwide greenhouse effect，which causes the sea level to rise and produces negative impacts on weather. In addition，more energy is being wasted because of the production of private cars. In order to build a resource﹣conserving and environment﹣friendly society， people ought to reduce the useof cars.In fact， diversified measures are being taken by the government to limit the use of cars. If such a tendency continues， the effect will be shown in the near future. For example，to reach the goal of building a safe and harmonious society， Beijing Traffic Management Bureau has restricted regional traffic in rush hours on working days. A number of private cars are prohibited on no﹣driving﹣days.Last， the advancement of public transportation systems also helps change car owners' way of travelling. Efforts are being made to construct more agreeable networks of buses，subways， trains and airplanes. In the meanwhile， advances in technology might help cut down the cost of travelling in public vehicles.Translation Directions： Translate the following sentences into English， using the words given in the brackets.9. 仅仅靠旅游来拓宽我们的视野是远远不够的。

Now, I know many of you are excited about the idea of getting paid to travel the world and see the sights. But remember, traveling isn’t all fun and games. It is hard work too. I remember when I was in Egypt to look at the pyramids. Now, of course they are fascinating — they are over 4,000 years old — but remember, Egypt is mostly desert and the temperature is often over forty-five degrees! So, the weather can be a problem.And several years later, I was traveling down the Yangtze River in China with some photographers, and we constantl y had engine trouble with our boat, so we couldn’t steer along the 6,380-kilometer river. Instead, we had to abandon our journey after just 2, 150 kilometers, which was a major disappointment.The last journey I want to tell you about was the most rewarding. We went to Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world. We backpacked for seventeen days through the jungles of Venezuela to get there. But when they finally came into view, with their breathtaking drop of 807 meters, it was incredible ! So, remember, being a travel writer may sound like an amazing career, and it is certainly rewarding, but you have to be prepared for every possibility ! (Now listen again, please.)Questions:11.What forced the speaker to stop his journey down the Yangtze River?12.What might be the speaker’s career?13.What does the speaker think of his job?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following report.Today, I would like to talk about the new concept of fitness. What exactly is fitness? How do you know whether you are fit? Under the Old Fitness, this question is answered by taking a few tests and comparing your performance to the“standard”. The New Fitness leaves every individual to arrive at his or her own answer, based on individual needs, personal goals and different lifestyles.The New Fitness definition is more flexible: you are fit if you can work effectively all at your normal task; if you have enough energy left at the day’s end to invest in leisure activities; and if you have the strength to deal with an unexpected physical emergency —running a block to catch a bus, for instance, or rearrange all your furniture.By this definition, a healthy, physically fit accountant would not be in the same shape as a healthy, physically fit athlete. But there’s no need to b e.Fitness can be divided into three basic factors: endurance, strength and flexibility. Of the three, endurance is the factor that is most often regarded as the key indicator of fitness. And the exercises which build endurance have the greatest effect on your overall health. The exercises which can provide you with training effect include jogging, swimming, bicycling, walking, rowing, rope-skipping, hiking, cross-country skiing and vigorous games of baseball, handball and soccer.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14.What is the new concept of fitness based on?15.How is the New Fitness compared with the Old Fitness?16.What is the report mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hi, Linda. You look refreshed and energetic. Do you still practice yoga every day?W: Yes, I do. But riding to work instead of driving is the key.M: You mean bike-sharing?W: Yeah. Start-up bikes like OfO and Mobike have brought us a new trend, haven’ t it?M: Yes, and it is really convenient to take a ride-share bike. They are available everywhere. W: Yes. People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They also provide an eff ective solution to the “last mile” problem.M: But there is not always positive feedback from customers.W: What do you mean?M: There is a rising number of traffic accidents involving children trying out the ride-share bikes out of curiosity.W: That’s t rue. But shared-bike companies like OfO are trying to make some improvements. It redesigned its bicycles, equipping them with a rear brake box that increases travel safety and stability.M: There are still other problems, such as illegal parking, deliberate damage and theft.W: How to maintain them is also a tough question. Supervision should be strengthened and relevant laws should be issued. Citizen quality should be enhanced and culture of sharing should be cultivated. Anyway, every citizen should also do their part, right?(Now listen again, please.)Questions:17.Why does Linda look so energetic?18.Which problem with ride-share bikes is not mentioned?19.Which aspect should be improved according to the conversation?20.What is the conversation mainly about?百度盘获取听力音频。

These chemicals (22) ________ (connect) to the smell that attracts the mosquitoes.Leslie Vosshall is one of the researchers in New York. She said, “If you have high levels of thisstuff on your skin, you’re going to be the one at the picnic (23) ________ (get) all the bites.”For the study, researchers designed an experiment to have people’s smells compete against each other. They asked 64 volunteers to wear stockings around their forearms to absorb the smell from their skin. The stockings were put in separate traps at the end of a long tube. Then, dozens of mosquitoes were released. The mosquitoes came to some traps much more than others. The scientists did the experiment several times, always changing which stockings were competing against each other. At the end, they discovered a huge difference between stockings. (24) ________ (attractive) stocking was around 100 times more attractive to the mosquitoes than the last-place finisher.By testing the same people for over a year, the study showed that these big differences remain. “Mosquito magnets(招蚊子喜欢的人) seem (25) ________ (remain) mosquito magnets,” Researchers said. One common factor they found was (26) ________ mosquito magnets had high levels of certain acids on their skin.“The research could help find new ways to drive away mosquitoes,” said Jeff Riffell, a scientist not (27) ________ (involve) in the study, “There (28) ________ be ways to affect the skin bacteria and change the smell that attracts mosquitoes.” However, he said that would be hard to do. Researchers also did the experiment with mosquitoes (29) ________ genes were changed to damage their sense of smell. But they still flew to the same mosquito magnets. Vosshall said mosquitoes have ways to find us (30) ________ ________ we change some conditions. “They have many backup plans to be able to find us and bite us,” she said.Section BDirections:Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Reading ComprehensionSection 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.In 2007, a group of researchers began testing a concept that seems as if it would never need testing: Is more happiness always better than less? The researchers asked college students to rate their feelings on a scale from “unhappy” to “very happy” and compared the results with academic and social outcomes. Although the “very happy” participants had brilliant social lives, they performed (41)________ in school than those who were merely “happy”.The researchers then examined a data set from another study that rated college freshmen’s “cheerfulness” and (42)________ their income nearly two decades later. They found that the most (43)________ were not the highest earners. That distinction (荣誉) once again went to the second-highest group, which rated their cheerfulness as “above average.”As with everything in life, happiness has its (44)________. Pursuing happiness to the exclusion of other goals-known as psychological hedonism (享乐主义)—is(45)________. It gives a life where you do not reach your full potential, where you are (46) ________ to take risks, where you choose temporary pleasures over challenging experiences that give life meaning.When I talk with people about their fear of negative outcomes in life, their true source of fear, in many cases, (47) ________ how they will feel about having failed, not about the consequence of the failure itself. This is similar to the way that discomfort with (48) ________ causes more anxiety than guaranteed bad news. To (49) ________ these bad feelings, people give up kinds of opportunities that involve the possibility of failure.However, bringing good things into your life, whether love or career success, usually involves risk. Risk does not, of course, (50) ________ make us happy. A risky life will very likely bring disappointment, but it can bring greater (51) ________ than a life played safe, as the studies above suggested.None of this is to say that we are foolish for wanting to be happy. (52) ________, the desire for happiness is natural and normal. Making the pursuit of positive feelings your highest or only goal, however, is a costly life strategy. Endless happiness is impossible to achieve, and doing so (53) ________ many of the elements of a good life. As the Canadian-American psychologist Paul Bloom wrote, “It’s the (54) ________we choose that affords the most opportunity for pleasure, meaning, and personal growth.”Though pain should never be anyone’s goal, each of us can strive for a rich life in which we not only seek the sunshine but fully (55) ________ the rain that inevitably falls as well. This is the paradox (悖论) of being fully alive.41. A. unwillingly B. unpleasantly C. admirably D. incredibly42. A. generated B. increased C. tracked D. drained43.

Today, however, it is estimated that 4-5% of cyclists ride bikes year-round.Being prepared is key to a good ride in the winter. The increasing popularity of winter cycling is due to the creation of mountain bike and its imitation. Equipped with more stable bicycles, nothing seems to be able to stop the adventurous winter cyclists. Many of them wear running shoes and protect themselves from the cold by wearing downhill-skiing clothes. On wet days, they wear special water-proof over their shoes.Besides all these mentioned above, there is one thing that has made winter riding more popular these years. In the past, cyclists need to clean and oil their bicycle chains once a week, which is no easy task. But one bicycle store owner tackled this weekly challenging task with an innovated complete chain cover. With bicycle chains completely covered, cyclists would need to do the troublesome work once every six months. Despite this amazing invention, the store owner still advises cyclists to take a taxi or bus when it’s really snowing heavily, not because conditions are too hard for bicycles, but because she is afraid that many bikers may lose confidence in themselves on snowy days of reduced discernibility, which is very dangerous.56. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Winter Mountain cycling competitions.B. Suitable clothing for winter cycling.C. Popularity of winter cycling and its reasons.D. Increases in winter cycling equipment.57. According to the passage, what has made winter cycling no longer a rare sight?A. Construction of bicycle paths.B. A decrease in equipment prices.C. The invention of stable bicycles.D. Milder weather in recent years.58. How did one bicycle store owner help the winter cyclists?A. She sells bicycles at a very low price.B. She makes cycling in winter less dangerous.C. She helps improve cyclists’ confidence when riding.D. She invents a new way to reduce the frequency of maintenance.59. The underlined word “discernibility” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning toA. visibilityB. popularityC. congestionD. creativity(B)People with fixed mindsets believe that:●Skill, intelligence and talents are natural.●Failure is shameful and should be avoided.●Some people are naturally good at things while others not.●You are not in control of your abilities.People with growth mindsets believe that:●You have the capacity to learn and grow your skills.●Failure is a valuable lesson.●People who are good at something are good because they build that ability.●You are in control of your abilities.have a desire to look smart, so tend to:—Avoid challenges.—Give up easily.—See effort as fruitless or worse.—Ignore useful negative feedback.—Feel threatened by the success of others.have a desire to learn, so tend to:—Embrace challenges.—Persist in the face of setbacks.—See effort as the path to mastery.—Learn from criticism.—Find lessons and inspiration in the success of others.As a result, they may stay at the same level early and achieve less than their full potential.As a result, they reach ever-higher levels of achievement.Change can be tough, but I’ve never heard anyone say it wasn’t worth it. Did changing toa growth mindset solve all my problems? No. But I know that I have a different lifebecause of it—a richer one.60. The book “mindset” is intended to ________.A. tell readers that two different mindsets lead to different resultsB. illustrate that people with different mindsets hold different beliefsC. help readers believe people act differently when facing challengesD. persuade people to learn to change so as to enjoy a more fruitful life61. Generally speaking, people with fixed mindsets are mostly ________.A. successfulB. straightforwardC. intelligentD. narrow-minded62. A person with a growth mindset is likely to say ________.A. “If I win, I’ll be somebody; if I lose, I’ll be nobody.”B. “To be good at sports, you need to be naturally gifted.”C. “Learn techniques and skills and practice them regularly, and you will always improve.”D. “You have a certain level of ability in sports and you cannot really do much to change it.”(C)Venus (金星) has long played second to its redder, smaller and more distant neighbor. Given how inhospitable (不宜居住的) Venus has appeared to be, we have spent the majority of the last century pinning some of our biggest hopes of finding signs of life on Mars.That all changed on September 15, 2020. It was announced that a strange gas called phosphine had been spotted in the clouds above Venus. The gas is produced by microbes, extremely small living things, here on Earth, so the discovery has renewed hopes that there might be life on Venus. Now we need to know for sure.There is, after all, only so much we can do with ground-based instruments. Venus is extremely bright. This brightness, caused by the intense reflection of sunlight from its thick clouds and highlighted because of its closer distance to Earth, basically blinds our instruments from making more detailed observations of the planet. It is like trying to look at the road while another car’s high beams (远光灯) are pointed in your direction.“To really get to the heart of this question, we need to go to Venus,” says Paul Byrne, a planetary scientist at North Carolina State University. But of course, that is easier said than done. Temperatures at the surface reach 464℃, and pressures are 89 times higher than on Earth. Only the Soviet Union has successfully landed on the Venusian surface—its Venera 13 lander functioned for 127 minutes before succumbing to the bad weather in 1982. It is not easy to justify spending hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars on a mission that could be over in a matter of hours without giving us what we need.An orbiter is the most sensible start. Unlike ground-based observations, orbiters can peer into the atmosphere and would have a better time observing how phosphine levels change over time or over what regions they are most concentrated. An orbiter also presents the opportunity to complete more challenging projects by potentially venturing directly into the planet’s atmosphere. A sample return mission could be possible, in which a spacecraft flies into the atmosphere and bottles up some gas to bring back to Earth for laboratory analysis.Trying to find life on another planet, however, is not simply a walk from point A to point B. No single mission to Venus will be able to finish all the work necessary to answer the question. It might be time to think not just about what the next mission to Venus should be, but what a whole new era of Venus exploration would look like: a group of multiple missions that explore Venus in joint efforts—the way we currently do with Mars.63. Venus is considered inhospitable to humans mainly because ________.A. the pressure of the planet is too lowB. the surface of the planet is too brightC. the density (密度) of the clouds is too lowD. the surface temperature of the planet is too high64. The underlined phrase “succumbing to” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”.A. giving in toB. keeping away fromC. making up forD. putting up with65. According to the article, scientists will be better able to reveal the secret about Venus by ________.A. sending astronauts to the planetB. using a more advanced space telescopeC. launching an orbiter to the planetD. redesigning their ground-based instruments66. What can we infer from the article?A. We have little hope of successfully finding life on Venus.B. We have a firm determination to discover life on other planets.C. We have spent much time studying phosphine in the past century.D. We have attempted to land on the Venusian surface in the last century.Section 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. This is becoming a bigger issue as captchas have grown increasingly confusing.B. Therefore, when faced with something really confusing, many people simply give up.C. Most attempts to create accounts or to buy products come from common users, but some attempts can also come from attackers.D. Called “automatic confirmation,” the technology will allow sites to confirm you are not a robot without you having to do anything at all.E. These tests may ask you to spot all the traffic lights in a picture or to type out some special letters and numbers.F. Although the service is tied to Apple’s iCloud network, the requesting site will not receive any personal information about the user or their device.I Am Not a RobotAn annoyance, an important security feature, an uncomfortable request: however you feel about being asked to prove you are not a robot, it has become a daily occurrence for most of us, but perhaps not one we would miss if it were to suddenly go away.A new feature in the latest versions of iOS and macOS, Apple’s operating systems for smartphones and computers, promises to give the boot to “captchas” once and for all. (67) ________“Sometimes a captcha is just a button to press,” said Apple engineer Tommy Pauly. “But other times it can be a challenge to fill out.”The term captcha is in fact an acronym (首字母缩略词) for “completely automated public Turing test (图灵测试) to tell computers and humans apart.” To help stop fraud (欺诈), these little tests often pop up when you’re signing up for or onto a website.(68) ________ If you get it wrong, it may ask you to start again, leading you to wonder if you really know what a traffic light looks like—or if you might really be a robot after all.But captchas are now fast becoming unusable, making the Internet a wasteland of difficult puzzles. Users must struggle to do the most basic things. “We’ve literally all found ourselves at one time or another complaining: ‘Those were all the pictures with traffic lights,” said Effie Le Moignan, a researcher in social computing at Newcastle University.Internet users struggle to tell the difference between a wear of paint on a sidewalk and a formalized crosswalk that’s often requested in a traditional captcha, and worry that one wrong answer may lock them out of an account. (69) ________“You likely don’t enjoy being interrupted by these,” said Apple’s Tommy Pauly. “I certainly don’t. The reason these experiences exist is to prevent dishonest activity. If you run a server, you don’t want it to be defeated by fraud. (70) ________”The company worked with Fastly and Cloudflare to build the new feature. It works by allowing your device to send a statement confirming it is being used by a human to the requesting website.Ⅳ. Summary WritingDirections: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.71.“Digital Hoarding” Could Be an Increasing ProblemAs data storage has become more accessible than ever, the amount of digital “stuff” we all have put aside is on the rise, too.In a recent paper published in the journal Information & Management, we have investigated a rising phenomenon called “digital hoarding”, which happens when an individual constantly acquires digital content, feels difficulty in getting rid of it, and gradually gets more and more digital content without an intended purpose.Digital hoarding can quickly increase out of control, too—perhaps even more quickly than in the physical world, due to several reasons. First, the digital hoarder is less likely to notice the space limitations in the digital world. While the boundaries of a physical space are clear, such boundaries are less noticeable in digital spaces. Second, hoarding of physical objects happens in fixed boundaries, while digital spaces are “expandable”—you can get additional digital storage with minimum effort at very little or zero cost. Third, to hoard physical items, a person needs to expend some effort, such as purchasing them. By contrast, most digital contents are either self-created, free, or available on a subscription (订阅) basis. Fourth, compared with physical stuff, digital contents can be multiplied, for example, by making copies, with very minimal effort.In the modern world, it is unavoidable that digital content plays an important role in our lives. Therefore, the potential of serious mental health impacts from digital hoarding is a real possibility.If you think you’re holding onto too much digital content, you can try cleaning your digital footprint, reducing unnecessary digital content, coming up with simple methods to organize your files, pictures and videos. What’s more, reassess the importance of many social networks, including groups in many communication apps, and keep only those essential to you.Ⅴ.

It makes quick marketing progress, but it also presents a 41 way to run a company. Here’r e the main 42 : The businesses today that will succeed are those able to jump around in high spirits. Chances must be seized immediately and decisions made quickly. Everyone needs more immediate answers, and the window of expected 43 to any questions has dropped from weeks to days even to hours.The problem with this way of thinking is that too often such quickness comes at the expense of 44 understanding thedetails of a situation. Sure, the networked society allows usto gather information within a short time, but does it really45 up our ability to make better decisionsHow do you balance the 46 for speed with sharp and correct thinkingThat’s the 47 on the minds of a lot of people these days, including Future Shock author, Alvin Toffler, who studiesthe idea in our cover story. It’s also a 48 of a new study by Kepner Tregoe. It reports that 77 percent of managers believe that during the past three years the number ofdecisions they made each workday has increased. But 85 percentof those same people say the time given to making thosedecisions has either 49 or stayed the same. Result:Speed kills. Different opinions are not shared. Other choicesare 50 too easily. Aims never seem to be clear. 51 , good records aren’t kept about how successful decisions are made. If your company really does well, the Kepner report suggests 52 the decision-making process and figuring out what you did right. Study your successes, as well as your failures.Fast decision-making is a necessity sometimes-no question about that．But decisions are only as good as the 53 go into them. By that measure, many of today’s decisions are weak and could 54 some companies at the knees. Business maybe keeping the quickness of 55 , but it’s going to be torn to pieces if managers are not thinking with great care and patience.41. A. numerous B. clear C. dangerous D. bright42.

That’s what I learnt from my new and special friend. On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we d idn’t know.I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug” I laughed andenthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young innocent age” I asked jokingly. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she replied.After class we walked to the Students Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake there. We became instant friends.Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience w ithme. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends whenever she went. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“There is a huge difference bet ween growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for thin gs we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets．”She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌词）and live them out in our daily life. At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. 56.

The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move.Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.Similar patterns exist throughout the .. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair is equivalent to about two months.Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly equivalent to the movement of rain systems.“It’s not good for pinpointing（精确定位）, ” Cerling said. “It’s good for eliminating many possibilities.”Told Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It’s still a substantial area,” Park said,“But it narrows its way down for me.”63. What is the scientists’ new discovery?A. One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.B. Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.C. A person’s hair may reveal where they have lived.D. The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.64. What does the author mean by “You’re what you eat and drink.” inA. Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues.B. Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.C.Food and drink affect one’s personality development.D. Food and drink are similar to one’s existence.65. What is said about the rainfall in American’s West?A. There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.B. The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.C. Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.D. It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.66. What is the practical value of Cerling’s research?A. It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.B. It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.C. It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.D. It helps the police narrow down possibilities indetective work.Section 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.What Is a Dream?For centuries, people have wondered about the strangethings that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives.In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentiethcentury that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book,The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreamsare an expression of a person's wishes. He believed that (67)___________The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student ofFreud's. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer.

Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage with no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult thatit’s painfulThis might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to suchfamiliar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If ourenergy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.V.
