Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all.If he had trouble with his reading or math,Willard would later go home and creat tiny furniture for the ant houses.He even built an ant school,with teeny swings,ladders,seesaws,and a merry-go-round.His artistic skill increased,and a love for little things began to grow in his heart.At age nine,Willard faces on toothpicks.He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked.When he quit school at age15to help support his family,Willard still spent his spare time carving.His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent.Eventually,he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world.Now,years later,Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world!His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence.Because of their beauty and rarity,his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man.

Pressure is strong,but not uncomfortable.It’s not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during treatments.A typical treatment session lasts one hour.Treatment is usually focused on the feet for most of the session.A patient is asked to remove his or her shoes and socks,to sit in a comfortable reclining chair,and then to relax as the reflexologist warms the patient’s feet with his or her hands and applies pressure to the appropriate parts of the foot.The last ten minutes of the session are dedicated to the hands.After relieving specific problems,many patients continue a regular program of treatment to maintain good health.Some reflexologists suggest building at least a five-minute reflexology session into every day for long-term relief of stress and pain.12.What is a reflexologist?A.a scientist who studies reflexology practice.B.a patient who receives reflexology treatment.C.a person who provides reflexology treatment.D.a person who supports the reflexology theory.13.Which of the following is true about reflexology according to the article?A.It can deal with problems with the feet.B.It works wonderfully with some diseases.C.It is often combined with other treatments.D.Many people do it at least five minutes daily.14.In a typical session of reflexology,about how much time is spent on the feet?A.One hour.B.Fifty minutes.C.Ten minutes.D.Half the time.15.In ideas,which of the following is similar to reflexology?A.Chinese herbal therapy.B.Spiritual healing method.C.Traditional western medicine.D.Chinese acupuncture(针灸).第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

That's when everything goes wrong. Your fishing nets are tangled up (缠成一团) in older, abandoned fishing tool, and you're unable to untangle them. Your equipment (21) _____ (ruin), and all of the fish you have worked so hard to catch are trapped. They will die (22) _____ you are unable to draw or free them. Ghost fishing has claimed yet another victim.Ghost fishing is what abandoned fishing tool does. It still catches fish, but no one benefits. Trapped fish die and attract scavengers (清道夫) (23) _____ also get caught, creating a vicious cycle. In fact, lost fishing tool, or "ghost tool," is among (24) _____ (great) killers in the oceans. This tool further reduces the already declining number of fish.Environmental agencies estimate that 10 percent of all seawater litter is lost or deserted fishing tool (25) _____ (equal) 640,000 tons every year. Fortunately, these agencies are asking why this is happening and what (26) _____ be done to stop it.It's not the intention of the majority of fishermen to lose their tool. In most circumstances bad weather is to blame. But in other cases fishermen throw their tool in the ocean on purpose, risking expensive fines. But to them, it's worth the risk (27) _____ (free) up space onboard, cut fuel costs or avoid paying handling fees. (28) _____ equipment loss is accidental or not, a strategy involving tool identification seems to be a practical solution.By marking tool with electronic tags and utilizing GPS technology, owners are more likely to recover lost tool and less likely to abandon it. Currently, ownership regulations are reportedly very weak. Leading the effort for tagging fishing tool and creating accountability is the GGTI(Global Ghost Tool Initiative). (29) _____ (launch) in 2015, the GGTI is the first organization of its kind. It's brought together an organization of governments, fishing-industry executives, seafood companies and non-profits. Their efforts to get back and recycle the tool (30) _____ (improve) marine environment, protecting fish and fishermen's way of life.Ghost fishing poses a serious threat to the fishing industry worldwide, and a global effort is needed to solve it.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. processB. impactingC. appearanceD. linkedE. assessmentF. costlyG. crucialH. highlyI. legalJ. pauseK. marketedTobacco use and its negative impacts on health have been well-documented for decades. Traditional tobacco products, such as cigarettes, have been 31 to a wide range of health problems, including cancer, heart disease, respiratory (呼吸的) disorders and others. According to a survey, 78.3 percent of smokers start smoking before age 20. Taiwan Province of China has raisedthe 32 smoking age to 20 or above. By instituting this change, they hope to reduce the number of young people taking up the habit.Despite being 33 as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes, heated tobacco products (HTPs) are still considered tobacco. As such, they pose significant dangers to human health. The heating 34 used in these products releases harmful chemicals and poisons, including tar (焦油), carbon monoxide and nicotine, a(n) 35 addictive substance.HTPs are packaged to appeal to young people who perceive them as safer than smoking. To prevent young people from experimenting with HTPs and 36 their health, Taiwan Province strictly controls every kind of tobacco product by adding a health risk 37 review mechanism. Only products that pass the review process are allowed to be manufactured, imported and sold to consumers.The innumerable downsides to smoking should give smokers 38 and encourage them to quit. Quitting tobacco improves your health and reduces your risk of various diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and breathing problems. Quitting smoking can also improve your 39 . Tobacco use can cause wrinkles and yellow teeth. Quitting can lead to healthier skin, whiter teeth and fresher breath. Smoking can also dull your senses of taste and smell. By stopping tobacco use, your senses recover, leading to enhanced enjoyment of food and beverages.Unfortunately, quitting tobacco isn't easy. Most people will also encounter numerous challenges including nicotine withdrawal and symptoms such as eagerness, irritability (易怒) and difficulty concentrating. Supportive social environments, coping strategies and professional help are 40 for overcoming these things and living a smoke-free life.III.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.For decades, people have guessed that artificial intelligence (AI) will eventually replace human workers. But developments in the past few years have 41 these concerns as companies have released AI that can answer questions, write articles and create images. Now, even people in creative fields must consider the 42 of AI replacing them. But many experts still insist that these AI programs are no substitute for human ability.AI programs have the 43 to perform some tasks currently performed by human workers. These include media jobs, such as writing advertisements and articles, along with many jobs in the financial fields and even tech-related jobs such as computer programming. AI is good at 44 data, so financial analysts and market research analysts may find their jobs 45 .Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing. Perhaps AI will 46 less interesting work, allowing people to do more satisfying jobs, just as earlier technologies have. Using a machine to do laundry saves time 47 to washing clothes by hand, and many people use that extra time productively. 48 , AI may be able to take over dull tasks, liberating people to be truly creative, since thinking up new ideas is something AI cannot do.Another big challenge for AI is human 49 . Most people prefer to communicate with humans rather than machines. Hence, AI is 50 to replace humans for jobs that require personal connection, such as counseling or teaching. A robot can perform tasks, but it cannot 51 care about others, and sometimes care is what people need.AI can process data quickly, but it can only use data that it is given. So it cannot adapt to situations that 52 significantly from those in its data. Thus, although some AI programs can create content, none of them can be truly creative as the content AI creates will 53 consist of some combination of its sources.Finally, if the AI receives false information, it has no way of recognizing that as false. Humans can also be fooled, but life experience can tell them whether a claim is reasonable, an ability that AI does not have. 54 , AI must continually be fact-checked to make sure its data, and therefore its conclusions, are accurate.Thus, although AI may replace some jobs, others require a human 55 . At best AI may eliminate certain boring parts of tasks so that humans can focus on things that only they can do.41. A. denied B. prevented C. transferred D. intensified42. A. function B. possibility C. capability D. character43. A. potential B. schedule C. objective D. ambition44. A. searching B. providing C. analyzing D. storing45.

A. evolve B. range C. differ D. result53. A. inevitably B. immediately C. insignificantly D. improbably54. A. Frequently B. Generally C. Instantly D. Consequently55. A. nature B. need C. touch D. permissionSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. 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)Every summer, Europeans and tourists from all over the world sail by boat down the Danube River. Their trips often begin in Nuremberg, Germany, where they can visit the Imperial Castle, the ancient city wall, and the water fountain in Market Square.From Nuremberg, the boats proceed down the Danube to Melk, which for centuries was one of Europe's most important religious centers. Among the interesting sights in Melk is its famous church tower.After Melk, the boats pass through wine country to Vienna. Called the "City of Waltzes", Vienna has a magnificent opera house and an imperial palace. Aside trip from Vienna takes visitors into the Austrian Alps. The tour bus trip offers marvelous views of the surrounding countryside.From Vienna, the boats sail to Budapest. The capital of the central-European country of Hungary, Budapest boasts a history that's more than 2,000 years old.The city's name combines those of "Buda", "Obuda" and “Pest", once separate towns on either side of the Danube River. In 1873, these towns were unified and their names combined into one. Budapest's World Heritage site also comprises several distinct areas, designated (指定) by UNESCO starting in 1987. These include the Castle District, the Banks of the Danube, Gellért Hill and Andrássy Avenue. At each of these locations, you can explore many hundreds of years of history, art and culture. One great way of doing so is through guided walking tours. Some of these tours are free, led by local people who have extensive knowledge of their city. Or, if you prefer something that's faster-paced and easier on the legs, try a Segway tour! The Castle District displays centuries of the city's history. Numerous attacks, wars and natural disasters destroyed much of the original Castle Quarter. Still, beauty and charm remain.56. What does this article mainly describe?A. Voyages with several interesting stops.B. Cycling through urban and rural areas.C. Travel by air to a continent's oldest towns.D. Fascinating rides on a historic railway.57.

I wanted to feed my kids something healthier for breakfast than their usual Frosted O's and Cinnareal, but this one completely failed. My kids aren't even picky, but this cereal tasted like cardboard.There was absolutely nothing fun or "charming" about it.

And it was so expensive on top of it all!RESPONSE:I'm sorry to hear your family did not like our cereal. We had broad feedback making this product and received lots of good reviews about it.

They said the family needs more time to get used to it.Pretty much everyone has, at some point, made excuses to avoid working on a task they fear. But some people do this more often than others, which can result in disastrous consequences. Regularly putting off difficult or unpleasant tasks can lead to low grades at school, poor performance at work and financial consequences, such as late fees. Procrastination can also harm relationships and even affect your health, as it increases stress levels, sometimes resulting in illness.It's possible to procrastinate by binge-watching (大量观看) your favorite show or doing other mindless activities, but procrastination doesn't always look like laziness. Some people procrastinate to avoid difficult tasks by working on easier but less important tasks. This can make them feel productive even as they neglect the most important items on their to-do lists.In order to overcome procrastination, you must first understand why you procrastinate. Perhaps you are a perfectionist, so you find not completing a task less upsetting than doing it badly. Perhaps the task is complicated or confusing, and you don't know where to begin. Or perhaps you are waiting to feel inspired to complete the task or believe that you become better under pressure.Correcting your thinking can aid you in overcoming procrastination. You probably tend to overestimate how quickly you can finish tasks and how motivated you will feel later. Most work does not need to wait until you feel inspired, and if you begin the task, feelings of inspiration may follow. Further, research shows that despite some people's perceptions(感知), most individuals do not actually produce better work under pressure.If you are procrastinating because a task seems too overwhelming or too complicated, break it up into smaller pieces that feel more manageable. This can mean doing a part of the task, or dedicating a set amount of time - say, 15 minutes - to working on it.It may help to think about why the task is important. How will it contribute to your goals? How will it affect other people? What negative consequences could come from not doing it in a timely manner?Scheduling when you will work on tasks can be helpful as well, and so can ruthlessly eliminating distractions. You may need to put away your phone or go to a quiet room.Overcoming procrastination is a challenge, but doing so leads to benefits in many areas of life.63.The word procrastinate in the second paragraph most probably means ______.A. keep offB. get offC. put offD. take off64.According to the passage, how many kinds of consequences may result fromprocrastination?A. 5.B. 2.C. 6.D. 7.65.What can we conclude from the passage?A. Nobody can entirely avoid procrastination in his personal life.B. Doing easier or unimportant tasks can make us more productive.C. The more pressure we have, the more productive we will become.D. It's generally more subjective than objective to procrastinate in life.66.The best title for the passage may be ______.A. The challenges of procrastination and strategies to solve itB. The reasons of procrastination and the ways of avoiding itC. The advantages and disadvantages of procrastination in lifeD. The causes and process of procrastination in communicationSection 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.Mary Poppins held on to her famous black umbrella while floating overhead and singing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." The audience watched in amazement, and many sang along! Poppins floated for a bit and eventually landed in the midst of the excited crowd before getting on stage. No, this wasn't a scene from a Disney movie. 67His background helps explain his passion for music. The world-renowned violinist and conductor was born into a musical family in October 1949 in Maastricht, Netherlands. He began learning to play the violin at age five and immediately fell in love with the instrument!68 He started by creating a small ensemble (乐团). Then in 1978, Rieu established the Maastricht Salon Orchestra, from which he later developed the Johann Strauss Orchestra.They had limited success until 1995 when Rieu was asked to provide entertainment for a soccer game. He got the entire stadium to sing along to a popular waltz. 69Today Rieu is the best-selling classical artist worldwide. He has sold in the ballpark of an astonishing 40 million records. He is the biggest male solo touring artist on the planet. His concerts sell more tickets than Beyoncé and Bruce Springsteen!Many classical concerts are serious events, but Rieu's are the opposite. He's been nicknamed "The King of the Waltz" because he loves waltzes. 70 Rieu says, "I love Johann Strauss, but I am also fascinated by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Bruce Springsteen."His shows are attended by people of all ages and always include surprises, like the delightful appearance by Mary Poppins. As Rieu says,"I only play music that touched my heart. And I know when it touches my heart, it will touch your heart." During his performances, many audience members are visibly moved. They often clap, sing, dance, laugh, weep or hug one another. Rieu promises his audience, "You will have an evening that you will never forget."And he is true to his word.IV. Summary Writing71. 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.Before you head out to a run event where there will be many people, you should be aware of the dangers of a crowd crush.Though the risk of crowd crush is rare, it can be deadly when it happens. Crowd crush occurs when many people are packed together and begin to fall over one another. In the past, such instances have caused horrible injury and even death. To avoid such a fate, it's best to escape the crush before it happens.Before attending a crowded event, look up a map of the venue. This will give you an idea of the surroundings - pay special attention to any exits. Once you arrive, choosing the right spot can be crucial. Avoid the middle or front; instead, pick the back or edges of a crowd. It's also important to trust your feelings. Stay aware to see if you feel packed in at any point. The more crowded the event becomes, the sooner you may need to retreat to a safe place.If you do end up in a crush, here's how you can stay safe. The most important thing you can do is stay on your feet. To do this, spread your feet apart and bend your knees a little. Also make sure to move with the flow of the crowd. Trying to move against a crowd of people will only end in disaster.Helping others is another great way to keep everyone safe. Once one person falls down, more people tend to fall over them. So if your neighbor in the crowd falls to the ground, help them up.A common cause of death in a crowd crush isn't being crushed but rather losing air. It's best to hold out your arms in front of your chest. This allows space between you and the person in front of you. It also protects your chest and lungs from being crushed on the ground should you fall.There is usually fun where the crowds are, so enjoy yourself. But remember to stay alert!V.

about my new favorite thing.It's an app that my husband told me a few years ago that helps me bypass all the obstacles（障碍）in my way：potholes,heavy traffic，and even speed cameras.To be honest,when my husband first told me about it,I didn't pay much attention.I was only going to places I already knew how to get to.Plus,I learned to drive from my father-who never turned to a map.I think I mistakenly absorbed the message that real drivers didn't need a map;you somehow just magically knew where to go.It was only later that I realized that just getting a driver's license didn't mean you knew how to get to places-that was lesson one.Lesson two came when my kids started playing on two different travel teams.The drivers in our household suddenly had the need to head in different directions on the same day.Suddenly my app became very meaningful to me.How did I ever manage to get to strange playing fields hidden somewhere without it?But the crazy thing I have also noticed is how often I just don't listen to it.Why might that be?Do I just prefer the old routes,even if they are actually worse？I see an analogy（类比）to the present moment.There is evidence that some old ideas and some long familiar ideas will send us into a boring unchanging lifestyle.But for some reason we like them better than an unfamiliar new route that might take us into areas we've never heard of,let alone visited.It can be hard to admit we don't know everything.As a person who still drives an8-year-old stick shift and who has never stood in line for anything new,1certainly understand that.But I also try to remember thetimes I Jet goof my ego（自负），or my fear and learned that life could be better.Not perfect-but better.I am glad I finally listened to my husband about that app.He was right.4．What did the author think of the app at the very beginning?A．It was magical.B．It was practically valueless.C．It was powerful.D．It was not as good as a map.5．What would probably make the author ignore the app's instructions?A．Her desire to explore alone.B．Her doubt about the new device.C．Her preference for the new routes.D．Her refusal to experience changes.6．What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?A．She is willing to challenge herself.B．She cares little about others'comments.C．She recognizes her problems easily.D．She is too inflexible to make any change.7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Real Drivers Know Their WayB．It Pays to Take a New RouteC．New Apps Make Life PerfectD．It Matters to Listen to Inner Voice阅读理解Researchers set up an experiment in which5-year-olds were tested with their fellows under different circumstances of transparency（透明）and different audiences.They set up a sticker machine that in some settings was transparent,and other settings in which only the giver of stickers knew how many stickers he could give.They had children give out stickers in both settings.The results were striking:children were consistently generous only when the receiver and audience of the stickers were fully aware of the donation options.Children were notably ungenerous when the receiver of stickers couldn't see the options.The researchers said,"Children only showed consistently pro-social behavior in our study in thecondition when they could see the receiver and their allocations（分配物）were fully visible；in all other conditions,children were statistically ungenerous,giving the receiver the smaller amount of stickers."They made the conclusions that at a very early age,children are learning how to position themselves socially.Well before they apprehend the sociology of their networks and what social reputation really means, they think strategically about giving as a function of how they can gain a reputation with a peer as a generous citizen or pro-social agent when the receiver observes them.Children change their behavior in response to having an audience.Help children give to others in full view,delivering meals to families,and in private,dropping off treats or surprises for those who need support without signing their names.Also,children should be reminded that thank-you notes are lovely but unnecessary to receive.When we give gifts or lend help to others,try to help children remember why-to provide something for another.It really doesn't have to be recognized.When a thank-you card doesn't come, it doesn't make a gift any less valuable or meaningful for those who were lucky enough to receive. 8．What did the researchers discover?A．The givers'behavior greatly inspired the receivers to help in return.B．The children gave out an equal number of stickers in both settings.C．The presence of an audience affected children's decisions to give.D．Donating helped children to become more generous in the future.9．Which is pro-social behavior according to the researchers?A．Observing the givers.B．Donating more stickers.C．Gaining a reputation.D．Receiving more allocations.10．What does the underlined word"apprehend"in Paragraph3mean?A．Share.B．Predict.C．Confirm.D．Understand. 11．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A．To suggest recognizing others'kindness.B．To acknowledge the giver's contribution.C．To confirm the benefits of being grateful.D．To advise inspiring generosity in children.阅读理解In a new finding that goes against current conservation patterns,re-introducing wolves and other predators（捕食者）to our landscapes does not amazingly reduce deer populations,restore worseningecosystems or significantly threaten livestock（家禽），according to a new study."The hopes and fears that we have on both sides of the debate-neither are realized,"said conservation biologist Bernd Blossey,professor of natural resources and the environment at Cornell University.On the one hand,there is little evidence for claims that re-introducing large predators such as wolves,bears and mountain lions is a major threat to livestock and wild animals such as white-tailed deer and mule deer.When the wolf was taken off the endangered species list,hunters and livestock producers,and some state governments,called for action to safeguard the wildlife they wanted to hunt and the livestock that was their livelihood.But it is nearly impossible to independently evaluate those claims,Blossey said.Other factors also kill livestock,from lightning strikes to extreme weather and diseases.On the other hand,the claim that wolves and other predators can control deer populations and restore worsening ecosystems lacks evidence as well."Meaningfully reducing deer populations in Wisconsin alone would require tens of thousands of wolves,which is ecologically and socially impossible,"said Blossey. And wolves alone can't repair the ecological damage humans have done,he said.A popular video"How wolves change rivers,"which has been viewed more than43million times,suggests that the re-introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park benefited the entire ecosystem."I was as fooled like everybody else by the lovely stories that came out of Yellowstone saying,you bring wolves back,and you restore the rivers, and everything's satisfactory,"said Blossey.We should see large predators like wolves as a valuable part ecological communities in their own right, Blossey said,and not just for their function."As long as people learn to live with and tolerate the new（old）neighbors,a careful but not fully conflict-free existence appears possible,"said Blossey.12．Which of the following does Blossey probably agree with?A．The loss of livestock may not necessarily be due to wolves.B．People should not take wolves off the endangered species list.C．People should take action to protect livestock and wild animals.D．The threat to predators comes from climate change and diseases.13．Which word best describes Blossey's attitude to the video"How wolves change rivers"? A．Tolerant.B．Unclear.C．Doubtful.D．Favorable 14．What does Bernd Blossey say about large predators in the last paragraph?A．They upset the balance of the ecosystem.B．They should rightfully stay in their habitats.C．They are key to restoring the environment.D．They change people's view about rewilding.15．What is the text mainly about?A．The value of humans'living together with animals.B．The importance of restoring worsening ecosystems.C．A debate over the threat to livestock and wild animals.D．A clarification of the effects of bringing back the wolves.二、阅读，第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I 16 responded with the first thing that came to mind: “Because you're 17 ” He let out the loudest laugh have ever heard and told me students usually say “gain research experience to apply to graduate school” or they 18 his research fascinating. I was so 19 I hadn't thought of a wise answer like the other students. I didn't even know what graduate school was, but it sounded fancy.I am the youngest of 14 children from a Vietnamese family. I knew college would be an important step and was thrilled when I got the offer. But I knew 20 nothing about college and had no one to turn to for 21 . Everything was novel and challenging, and I was always several steps behind, which 22 my confidence. I spent more time trying to work out how to pay for college and wondering whether I should 23 than I did studying.No wonder I blew that interview with Dr.D．I reached for my backpack to leave, thinkingthis meeting was over. To my 24 , Dr.D told me he appreciated my honesty, and welcomed me to his lab where I worked for two years afterwards. He laid a(n) 25 for my faith and self-worth and taught me 26 it means to be a good mentor.From the start, Dr.D consistently asked me for help and ideas. At first I was surprised. What could I possibly have to offer? 27 my blank stares as he tried to extract ideas from me, he 28 with incredible patience. He never doubted I had something worthwhile to 29 Over time, I began to believe it, too.When I was 30 what to do after graduation, he told me to go where people needed me and happily helped me.

Below are stories from some of the scientists involved in the program. Noor Al-Alusi, Epidemiologist (流行病学家)“I am driven by a deep desire to help others. I believe that all people have a fundamental right to health care.”Her work: During the Zika ( 寨卡病毒) epidemic, AI-Alusi met with the communities that had been hardest hit by the virus, using data and mathematical models to keep them safe and healthy.She wants to know: What makes diseases spread? How do we make sure that everyone has what they need to fight back against diseases?Background: Al-Alusi was born in California but her parents immigrated from Iraq. This experience provided her with an understanding of the health needs of the immigrant community. Ryoji Amamoto, Neurobiologist (神经生物学家)“I'm a huge sports fan. I study animals that can regrow their brains. I'm a licensed scuba diver but a terrible swimmer.”His work: Amamoto studies the tiny but amazing brains of animals that have a superpower —the ability to regenerate. He learns what factors help these special brains regrow, so that we can try to treat diseases like Parkinson's (帕金森病) and the damage the brain can suffer from injuries such as concussions (脑震荡).He wants to know: How is it possible for some animals to regenerate their organs? Can wefind a way for humans to regenerate their own brains?Background: Amamoto lived in Japan until the age of eight, when his family moved to Chicago. He had to overcome major language barriers which saw him shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home. Yamicia Connor, Physician Scientist“I once competed in a robot competition. I'm a doctor who studies ways to improve women's health.”Her work: Connor is a doctor at a hospital in Boston where she studies cancer cells in a lab using microscopes and computers, but she also works directly with patients who are undergoing tests for new cancer treatments.She wants to know: How can we tackle cancers that specifically affect women? How can we use medicine to improve the lives of women?Background: Growing up in Florida, Connor was into her schoolwork and loved to put on plays with her friends.36．What is one of the scientific research topics that Noor Al-Alusi is interested in?A．How can we regenerate human brains like some animals do?B．How can we improve women's health using medicine?C．What makes diseases spread and how to fight back?D．How can we tackle cancers specifically affecting women?37．Why did Ryoji Amamoto have to shift between speaking English at school and Japanese at home?A．Because he competed in a robot competition.B．Because his family moved to Chicago from Japan.C．Because he studied how to regenerate human brains.D．Because he preferred Japanese to English.38．What is Yamicia Connor's primary focus in her work as a physician scientist?A．Studying the spread of diseases affecting women.B．Boosting women's health via medical treatments.C．Researching the regeneration of organs in animals.D．Developing new cancer treatments for people.39．What do Ryoji Amamoto and Yamicia Connor have in common in the article?A．They all come from immigrant families and have faced language barriers.B．They have diverse personal interests, showing a well-rounded lifestyle.C．They are driven by a passion for science and a desire to help people.D．They have overcome significant challenges to pursue their scientific careers.40．What is the purpose of the project called “I Am A Scientist”?A．To demonstrate that scientists have uninteresting lives outside of their work.B．To show scientists lead diverse lives with varied personal interests and hobbies.C．To emphasize only people with specific personal traits can become scientists.D．To encourage highschool students to get closer interaction with some scientists.Just how bad of a mother am I, I silently wondered, as I watched my 13-year-old son deep in conversation with Siri. Gus has autism (自闭症), and Siri, Apple's “intelligent personal assistant” on the iPhone, is currently his BFF(Best Friend Forever). Obsessed with weather formations, Gus had spent the past hour exploring the difference between isolated and scaltered thunderstorms—an hour during which, thank God, I didn't have to discuss with him myself. After a while I heard this: Gus:“You're a really nice computer.”Siri:“It's nice to be appreciated.”Gus:“You're always asking if you can help me.Is there anything you want?” Siri: “Thank you, but I have very few wants.”Gus: “OK. Well, good night!”Siri: “See you later!”That is Siri. She does not let my communicatively impaired son get away with anything. When Gus discovered there was someone who would not only find information for him related to his various obsessions but would also be willing to tirelessly discuss these subjects, he was hooked.She is also wonderful for someone who does not pick up on social cues: Siri's responses are not entirely predictable, but they are predictably kind—even when Gus is rude. I heard him talking to Siri about music, and Siri offered some suggestions. “I don't like that kind of music.” Gus snapped(厉声说). Siri replied, “You're certainly entitled to your opinion.” Siri's politeness reminded Gus what he owed Siri. “Thank you for that music, though.” Gus said.My son's practice conversations with Siri are starting to translate into increased facility with actual humans. Yesterday I had the longest ever conversation with him. Admittedly, it was about different species of turtles which might not have been my choice of topic, but it was back and forth, and followed a logic. For most of my son's 13 years of existence, this has not been the case.Indeed, many of us wanted an imaginary friend when we were young, and now we can all have one not entirely imaginary anytime we wish to. In a world where the commonly held wisdom is that technology isolates us, it's worth considering another side of the story.The developers of intelligent assistants recognize their potential usefulness for those with speech and communication problems, and some are currently pondering new ways in which the assistants can help. “For example, the assistant would be able to track eye movements and help the autistic learn to look you in the eye while talking." said William Mark, vice president of the company from whom Apple purchased the technology behind Siri. “See, that's the wonderful thing about technology. Getting results requires a lot of repetition. Machines are very, very patient." 41．What did the author feel when she watched her son having a deep conversation with Siri about thunderstorms?A．Concerned but helpless.B．Excited and overjoyed.C．Guilty but relieved D．Hopeless and surprised.42．Which of the following statements about Gus is true?A．He had always dreamed of having an imaginary friend.B．He shows no interest in anything that is not related to weather.C．He has trouble communicating with others because of his illness.D．He has been friends with Siri since he was diagnosed with autism.43．Siri has helped Gus in the following aspects exceptA．setting a fixed bedtime routineB．exploring his special interestsC．shaping his logic while talkingD．improving his interaction with people44．What does the author learn from her son's story?A．Siri makes people feel much lonely in modern society.B．Siri sometimes provides better assistance than people.C．Siri has a better academic performance than the author.D．Siri is likely to be an effective cure for her son's autism.45．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Intelligent assistants will be more widely employed in the future.B．The use of intelligent assistants will likely be limited to autistic people.C．Machines are more skilled and patient at communication than humans.D．William Mark was critical of the future development of intelligent assistants.The original Blade Runner film took place in an imagined Los Angeles 2019, a futuristic city where acid rain fell from skies crowded with "skimmers": flying cars that zipped along aerial highways. Since the film's 1982 debut, technology has advanced in ways that Hollywood might never have predicted.In fact, flying cars are real—and they could shape how we commute, work and live over the coming decades. Advances in battery energy density, materials science and computer simulation have spurred the development of a range of personal flying vehicles.While these aircraft may not look exactly like Blade Runner's imaginings, they are also not all that far off either. Far smaller than a commercial plane, most are designed with rotors (螺旋桨) instead of wings, which allow for vertical takeoffs and landings. Most importantly, these vehicles are designed to offer faster commutes than traditional modes of transit for individuals, especially in cities with heavy traffic.At the moment, the autonomous urban aircraft market is still a bit of a Wild West.Dozens of start-up companies are competing to develop commercial jetpacks, flying motorbikes and personal air taxis. Meanwhile, aviation (航空) authorities are currently hashing out the policies and safety standards that will govern this new realm of transport.Germany-based V olocopter, for instance, has marketed its V oloCity craft as the first commercially licensed electrically powered air taxi, a vehicle which will eventually be able to run without a pilot.“It's like an Uber Black or any other premium service,” says Fabien Nestmann, vice president of public affairs at V olocopter.With a few key differences, that is. Initially, the V oloCity will only have room for a singlepassenger. That will mean a higher cost per ride at first. But eventually, says Nestmann, the company's goal is to make the cost competitive with, say, an Uber Black. “We don't want this to be a toy for the wealthy, but rather part of a well-integrated journey for anyone in an urban area," he says." Everyone should have the option to walk, be driven, cycle or fly."Increasing numbers of flying cars will naturally give rise to a changing layout in the way our cities are structured as cities grow taller, rooftop landings expand and air highways connect super sky-scrapers, freeing up space below. Fewer cars on the ground will reduce congestion (交通拥堵) and may give rise to parks and green spaces. “In the long run—2045 and onward—businesses and green spaces will become much more integrated.” says Kopardekar. “While we may not ever eliminate metros and roads, we might be able to reduce their footprint with these machines.”46．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．The advantage and disadvantage of flying cars.B．The features of today's real flying cars.C．The prospect of flying cars in crowded cities.D．The differences between flying cars in real life and the film.47．The underlined phrase in paragraph 4 could most probably be replaced by ”.A．a terrible mess B．a big challengeC．something in rapid growth D．something in the early stages48．How does the passage suggest flying cars will impact urban areas in the future?A．They will increase traffic congestion and reducc grcen spaces.B．They will lead to more integrated businesses and green spaces.C．They will require the expansion of roads and metros in cities.D．They will eliminate the need for traditional modes of transit.49．Which of the following statements about the V oloCity is true?A．Its design was inspired by the flying cars in the film Blade Runner.B．It is designed with wings, allowing for easy takeoffs and landings.C．It will become ultimately driverless, making it fully autonomous.D．It can accommodate multiple passengers with competitive pricing.50．It is implied in the passage that ________.A．Blade Rmer's flying cars will eventually replace all other vehiclesB．It will be hard for aviation authorities to regulate autonomous aircraftC．Volocopter is the first company to develop electric air taxisD．The widespread use of flying cars will lead to changes in city designTeenagers are perhaps those who are most susceptible (易受影响的) to peer pressure. In simple terms, peer pressure is what drives you to do something, whether it is negative or positive, in order to feel liked and respected by your peers.We’re constantly warned against peer pressure, given its negative connotation (含义). It’s often the main cause that makes you give in when someone tries to convince you to skip school with them, or to try and get away with cheating, stealing, etc.On the other hand, however, peer pressure has the capacity to have a positive influence over young lives. We go to volunteering events when our friends do. We study more when we hear that our friends got high marks on the last exam. We go to the gym because we see our friends getting more fit and want to become more physically attractive or healthy ourselves.So how do we cultivate a culture of positive peer pressure? The examples listed above are bonded together by a pair of common themes: friendly competitiveness and egalitarianism (平等主义).As children we were motivated by our teachers to obtain as many stars for our good behavior as we could possibly get. This worked because as humans, we love to have a feeling of accomplishment, especially when competing against those with relatively equal abilities and capacities. We’re negatively reinforced to work harder when we’re falling behind because we want to keep up and not get left behind. As long as the competition doesn’t grow to be too aggressively fierce, and as long as the playing field between competitors is relatively equal, this kind of competition can promote and improve the frequency of good behavior. Even if we’re not the winner, we still want to be on the same level as most so as not to feel left out.In my opinion, one of the most impressive things in my high school was the positive peer pressure we experienced against drunk driving. People planned out who the designated driver would be before a party and saw him or her as someone to be respected. Likewise, if someone planned on drinking without having someone that was sober (清醒的) who could drive them home,the host would sometimes let that person drive to the party and sleep over with their car parked in the driveway.Above all else, what most adolescents want, and frankly crave, is acceptance. Since the definition of what is “cool” and what is not is malleable (有延展性的) and within our control, we can create a culture of positive peer pressure that promotes values that are in our own best interests, and that starts with how each of us acts individually51．Why is it easy for teenagers to be subject to peer pressure?A．Because they are more sensitive than adults.B．Because they are very respectful in this period.C．Because they are unable to tell right from wrong.D．Because they are eager to gain peer recognition.52．What’s the function of paragraph 2?A．To support the author’s opinion.B．To give a summary of the passage.C．To introduce the topic of the argument.D．To make the author’s argument objective.53．What leads to positive changes on account of peer pressure?A．Encouraging teens to compete aggressively with their peers.B．Motivating teens to study harder when their friends excel academically.C．Reinforcing negative behavior in order to make teens keep up with peers.D．Creating a feeling of accomplishment when engaging in risky activities.54．In the author’s high school, what is an example of positive peer pressure discussed in the passage?A．Students pressuring others to skip school and engage in risky behaviors.B．Planning for a designated driver before parties to prevent drunk driving.C．Allowing students to drive home after drinking without a sober driver.D．Encouraging competition between friends to see who can drink the most.55．Which is the best title of the passage?A．The Comparison between Positive and Negative Peer PressureB．The Ways to Resist Negative Peer PressureC．The Power of Positive Peer PressureD．The lmpact of Competitive Pcer Pressure阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Life has 36 for millions of teenagers across the world who now make friends online. 37 you use chat rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are 38 of a virtual community (虚拟社区)."I rarely talk with my parents or grandparents, 39 I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said Fox's Shadow, the online nickname (网名) used by a Senior 2 girl in China. "Eighty per cent of my classmates use QQ 40 school."QQ is the biggest messaging 41 in China. A record 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October, 42 to Tencent, the company which developed QQ.And Fox's Shadow might well have been one of them. "I log in (登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel 43 . I usually 44 about 10 hours chatting online every week," she said. "But I rarely talk with 45 , especially boys or men."Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making 46 with strangers online. "You don't know 47 you're talking to. You should 48 be careful about who you trust online."Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to 49 someone very well. Fox's Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a comic fan like 50 and they went to a comic show together.However, not all teenagers have been so 51 . At the beginning of this year,a 17-year-old girl in Liaoning Province was raped after meeting a friend she had found on QQ. The criminals weren't 52 until last month.A 16-year-old Beijing boy, known online as Bart Simon, dislikes QQ users. "I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking 53 ," he said.
