Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain ____31____.You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s ____32____.The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker. Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then ____33____ adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to ___34___ with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together. To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.” Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in ____36____ circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can ____37____ problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: “We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central ____38____ of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal ____39____.Today,schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of ____40____ shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for ____41____ periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their ____42____ spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For ____43____,the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek____44____outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also ____45____ a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel tips an ____46____ itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of ____47____ for prospective visitors ------ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or ____48____ short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays ____49____ the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the ____50____, “We should be asking how we get tourists to ____51____,not how to get them to come for the first time. If they ‘re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) ____52____ that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint.____53____ tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and ____54____ to less crowded parts of the city------all productive steps towards more ____55____ tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41.

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 believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it,but I believe that I should do it.So several times a day, while working in our emergency department,I leave my patient’s bedside,get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up,before continuing on my day. Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket.To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort,both physical and emotional.It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient.It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of.This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient. Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer.The short story is that I broke my femur(大腿骨),the large bone in my thigh,and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so.The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night.He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein.He would ask about my pain and my mental state,but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited.I felt that he cared about me and,more importantly,understood what I was going through.He connected with me,and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is,in the end,a check and balance for me.I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments.I strive to always be right(or at least neverwrong).And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.56. According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean?A. It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it.B. It gives him the power to order tests and treatments.C. It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble.D. It helps communicate his care towards his patients.57. The author mentioned his own experience as a patient,which of the following is NOT hisintention?A. Showing his gratitude for the surgeonB. Demonstrating his action of giving blanketsC. Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patientsD. Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors58. What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply?A. The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing themblankets.B. A good physician should understand patient’s needs.C. It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients.D. The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs.59. The passage is manly about __________.A. emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patientsB. emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patientsC. emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heartD. emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship(B)MT.LEBANON ICE CENTER *900 CEDAR BOULEV ARD*PITTSBURGH,PA 15228(412)561-4363 WHO: Skaters of all ages and abilities.

Evaluation registration can be done in person, by phone or online.(C)Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning—and the fears of something going badly wrong.The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a t Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ₤56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A. AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B. AMRs could deliver nuclear at lower costs and reduce risks.C. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.D. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64. In paragraph 4,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the U.S. to __________.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concernB. show the biggest obstacle to nuclear research today is the budgetC. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speedD. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Nuclear power has an important impact on the country’s future energy structure.B. The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C. The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D. Costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large unclear reactors.66. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A. Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB. Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC. Nuclear ’s share of power generation remain steadyD. Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successSection 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.New Paint Resists Oil and WaterHaving an automobile can be costly. In addition to paying for fuel, the owner of a car should set aside money for an insurance policy to guard against possible damage or loss. The owner also has to pay for normal repairs, like an oil change, and other work.Another cost is cleaning.(67)__________ Who would not want a car that is always clean because drops of water and oil just roll off? Now, scientists say it may not be too long before self-cleaning paints become more common in may industries.It has been long known that rainwater slides off the leaves of some plants without leaving a mark. Soon, the same may be true for raindrops on your car.Scientists can now reproduce that quality, or property, of tropical plants like the taro and lotus. Researchers are able to do this because of developments in nanophysics: the studies of very small particles.Yao Lu is a researcher from China’s Dalian University of Technology. He currently works at University College London. He used titanium dioxide nanoparticles to create a new kind of water-repellent (防水的) paint.(68)__________Up until now, the biggest problem with water-repellent paints was their vulnerability to mechanical damage.(69)__________This was solved with a special adhesive or glue that sticks to the titanium dioxide nanoparticles. “Applying this spray adhesive, we’ve managed to get very resistant coatings that are resistant to, as I say, rubbing or scratching and with sandpaper and so on.”The new kind of paint can be used on a number of materials, from clothing and paper to steel and glass.(70)__________They predict this product could be used in a number of areas, including auto manufacturing and even hospitals.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.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster(CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives. There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.第II卷(共40分)V.

Evaluation registration can be done in person, by phone or on-line(C)Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning —and the fears of something going badly wrong.The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In Western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the co untry’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.62019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to £56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.39. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A. AMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsB. Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksC. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetD. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs40. In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to ________.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B. show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.41. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsB. The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C. The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedD. a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.42. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A. Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB. Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC. Nuclear’s share of power generation remain steadD. Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successⅣ. Summary writing43. 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.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as straw berries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.72019年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect._____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________第Ⅱ卷(共40分)Ⅴ.

For the blanks with a given word, Hill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Start with the end and work backwardsWhen Jason Hoelscher was an undergraduate of fine art studies, there weren’t any professional development classes. So ambition and the timely realization (21) ________ he would have to determine “what’s next” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996, and he was finishing his BFA (Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sitting back to wait for something (22) ________ (happen), or pursuing a path into the unknown. He chose the latter.Jason set up a plan that in five years he (23) _________ (show) his work in the top gallery in that area of the country. This five-year goal gave him a starting point (24) ________ which to work backwards.By setting the goal, all of Jason’s efforts (25) ________ (point) in the same direction. He showed up at different art show openings, and researched as best he could to make (26) ________ familiar with the market environment.As a result of showing up, Jason took opportunities (27) ________ got him closer to his goal. He sent work to a student show and was accepted by Robin Rule, the owner of Rule Gallery.

He struck while the iron was hot, and in (30) ________ (do) so, shortened his five-year plan into a year-and-a-half.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.most people’s lives had a certain 31 . You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the courseof your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s 32 . The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 33 adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 34 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 35 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based livin g for the good of all.” Congnitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 36 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 38 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 39 . Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 40 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower harriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 43 , the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents the y’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism”: sustainable travel tips an 46 itineraries forexploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ------ ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. “If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 54 to less crowded parts of the city ------ all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41.

W: David, I got you a present, a solar-powered calculator.M: I don't need a calculator, Mom. I have oneQ: What does David imply?Section BQuestions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.The calm waters of Rose Bay in Sydney are disturbed only when a seaplane comes into land and take off again. In some way, Rose Bay has witnessed the surprising history of flying boats, type of early seaplane. On the fifth of Julv, 1938, an empire class flying boat departed from here, Australia's first international airport. It was heading for England and mark the start of the golden age of flying boats. Over ten days, with thirty stops along the route, passengers enjoyed a first class service, including breakfasts of fruit, steak, juice and wine.But the flight didn't come cheap. Tickets were far beyond the reach of most Australians at a price that was equivalent to an annual salary. The service was suspended in 1942 as war took hold and the planes were officially-used by the air force. By the time normal life started again after the war,land-based aircraft haddeveloped rapidly, and flying boats were looking increasingly out of date. However. Sydney and its vast waters remained well-placed to exploit their resources, and so began a new age for the flying boatsQuestions:11. When did the golden age of flying boats start?12. Why was the service of empire class flying boats stopped in the early 1940s?13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?Questions 14through 16 are based on the following passage.According to some psychologists, intelligence is the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to change one's environment. Skills like learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving enhance these abilities. Therefore, certain habits may be evidence you've got these skills. For example, it is commonly thought that those who are intelligent are organized and have everything in their workspace arranged neatly. But that's not the case.In an experiment from the University of Minnesota, people in a messy setting came up with more creative ideas than those in a neat space. Kathleen Watts, study author says disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce the fresh idea. Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage following traditions and playing it safe. But according to JonathanWhite, a research scientist at Duke University, creativity is one of the qualities that smarter people tend to possess, and it may actually lead to messiness. He says it's not messiness that helps creativity, but creativity which may create messiness. Such people tend to get lost in thought while focusing on a problem or issue. And cleanliness becomes of less importance that focusing on the problem at hand.Questions:14. According to the passage, what are intelligent people like in most people's eyes?15. According to Jonathan White from DukeUniversity. Which of the following statements is true?16. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: James, have you read about the new research into the human brain?M: Not yet. What does it say?W: It says men are better at some things like map reading and finding direction, while women are better at other things like remembering words and faces.M: Interesting! Now I understand why I'm the one of my family who does all the map reading.W: The research was done by a team from the University of Pennsylvania. They looked at the brains of nearly one thousand men and women and found they are wired differentlyM: Wired differently? You mean"connected in different ways"?W: Right! In males, the stronger connections run within each half o the brain. In women. The stronger connections are between the two sides of the brain.M: I see.W: The difference might explain why men are better at learning and performing a single task, like reading maps or cycling. But women are often better at doing several things at the same time. They can also concentrate on a task for longer.M: Now. I can understand why I cannot do several things together.W: But not everyone agrees. A professor from the University of Oxford said the connections inside the brain are not permanently fixed, and the brain is very complex. Without sufficient data, you can't jump to any general conclusions.M: I guess the professor is right now.(Now, listen again.)Questions:17: What is the conversation mainly about?18: Compared with women's brains, what does the new research find out about men's brains?19. According to the new research, which of the following are women better at?20: What does the professor from theUniversity of Oxford think of the new research findings?选自《纽约时报》(https:///2018/02/08/opinion/changemaker-social-entrepreneur.html)Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people's lives had a certain ___31___. You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that's ___32___. The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then ___33___ adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to ___34___ with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls "cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all." Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in ___36___ circumstances. "For the good of all" is the capacity to build teams.It doesn't matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can ___37___ problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with this mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: "We don't need you. We don't need your kids, either." Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central ___38___ of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal ___39___. Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of ___40___ shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.DABHC IEGKF选自《卫报》(https:///cities/2017/aug/04/tourism-kills-neighbourhoods-save-city-break)More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for ___41___ periods.The rise of "city breaks"48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance hasincreased tourist numbers, but not their ___42___ spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time," says Font. "For ___43___, the city no longer belongs to them."This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek ___44___ outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also ___45___ a better way, it is calling "detourism": sustainable travel tips and ___46___ itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of ___47___ for prospective visitors ------ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center-------can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or ___48___ short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays ___49___ the pressure, says Font. "If you so to Paris for two days, you're going to go to the Eifel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you're not going to go to the Eiffel tower 14 times."Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the ___50___, "We should be asking how do we get tourists to ___51___, not how to get them to come for the first time. If they're coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours."Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come.“You're thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists a(n) ___52___ that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint ___53___ tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and ___54___ to less crowded parts of the city ------all productive steps towards more ___55___ tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.(B)(C)选自《金融时报》(https:///content/c2bd2f8c-8b67-11e8-b18d-0181731a0340)Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning — andthe fears of something going badly wrong. The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs) — most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s — are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind. “The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.

In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget.

Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then ___33___ adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to ___34___ with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls "cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all." Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in ___36___ circumstances. "For the good of all" is the capacity to build teams.It doesn't matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can ___37___ problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with this mind-set.

The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor.

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of powercompared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a t Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ₤56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63.Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B.Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks.C.So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.ernments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64.In paragraph 5,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to .A.prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B.show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C.indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D.point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants.B.The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C.The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D.A kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear r eactors.66.Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A.Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB.Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC.Nuclear ’s share of power generation remain steadyD.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successIV.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.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees.

But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.第 II 卷(共 40 分)V.Translation:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?(motivate)2.网上支付方便了客户,但是牺牲了他们的隐私。

So ambition and the timely realization(21) he would have todetermine “ what ’ s next ” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was1996,and he was finishing his BFA(Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choiceof sitting back to wait for something (22) (happen),orpursuinga pathinto theunknown. He chose thelatter.Jason set up a plan that in five yearshe (23) (show) his work in the top gallery in that area of the country. This five-year goal gave him a startingpoint (24) which to workbackwards.By setting the goal, all of Jason ’s efforts(25)(point)in the same direction.Heshowed up at different art show openings, and researched as best he could tomake (26)familiar with the market environment.As aresult of showing up, Jason took opportunities (27) got him closer to his goal.

Then you could go into theworkforce and make a good livingrepeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these daysmachines can dopretty much anythingthat’s32 .The new worldrequires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort ofpersonal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in anysituation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure outwaysto solvetheproblem, organize fluid teams, lead collectiveaction and then 33 adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellowAndr ésGallardois a Mexican who livedina high crimeneighborhood.

It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls“ cognitive empathy-based living for th e good of all. ” Cognitive empathy is the ability toperceivehow people arefeeling in 36 circumstances. “ For the goodof all” is the capacity to buildteams.I t doesn ’matterif you are working in thecafeteriaortheinspection lineof a plant,companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set.

If they ‘ re comingfor the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with our s. ”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective aboutthe tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are,and how far they ’ ve come. “ You’ re thinking, ‘costyeah... but’ at.”whatHe points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanesetourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that---fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely tobe repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 54 to lesscrowded parts of the city------all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, andmorepeaceful relations with residents.41.

Dozens of companies are working ona new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power atlower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generatebetween 50MW and 300MW of power 上海市 2019 年春考英语试卷第 7页compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw onmodular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which hasplagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modularreactors(AMRs) — most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s — arecritical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solarand wind.“ Thephysics hasn ’changedt. It ’abouts much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation, said”Tim Stone, long -termindustry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sitesin the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, justthree plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; atFlamanville in France; and at Olkiluotoin Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF thatwill be used a t Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. Inthe US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are alsoblowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world ’ s first commercial nuclear reactor ins1956,ioneof the fewwestern nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet toughcarbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry,of nuclear power ’ s ability to restoreconfidence.However, the country ’agreements with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point —whichtogether will generate 3.2GW of electricity — has come under severe criticismover its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said itstill sees nuclear power as vital tothe country ’ s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potentialto generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ?56m in funding for research anddevelopment into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world.The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race todevelop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creatinga multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63.W hich of the following is true about the advanced modularreactors (AMRs)?

Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the mainpoint(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far aspossible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions.About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees.Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster(CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. InOctober of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays,beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees topollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists oftravelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. Thatmeans a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is notunusualfor up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition,bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to whatthey usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usuallypolluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly tothe economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees,pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food andincreased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But oneof the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.上海市 2019 年春考英语试卷第 9页第II 卷(共 40 分)V.Translation : Translate the following sentences into English, using thewords given in the brackets.1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?(motivate )2.网上支付方便了客户,但是牺牲了他们的隐私。

In some way, Rose Bay has witnessed the surprising history of flying boats, type of early seaplane. On the fifth of July, 1938, an empire class flying boat departed from here, Australia's first international airport. It was heading for England and mark the start of the golden age of flying boats. Over ten days, with thirty stops along the route, passengers enjoyed a first class service, including breakfasts of fruit, steak, juice and wine.But the flight didn't come cheap. Tickets were far beyond the reach of most Australians at a price that was equivalent to an annual salary. The service was suspended in 1942 as war took hold and the planes were officially-used by the air force. By the time normal life started again after the war,land-based aircraft had developed rapidly, and flying boats were looking increasingly out of date. However. Sydney and its vast waters remained well-placed to exploit their resources, and so began a new age for the flying boats.Questions:11. When did the golden age of flying boats start?12. Why was the service of empire class flying boats stopped in the early 1940s?13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?Questions 14through 16 are based on the following passage.According to some psychologists, intelligence is the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to change one's environment. Skills like learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving enhance these abilities. Therefore, certain habits may be evidence you've got these skills. For example, it is commonly thought that those who are intelligent are organized and have everything in their workspace arranged neatly. But that's not the case.In an experiment from the University of Minnesota, people in a messy setting came up with more creative ideas than those in a neat space. Kathleen Watts, study author says disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce the fresh idea. Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage following traditions and playing it safe. But according to JonathanWhite, a research scientist at Duke University, creativity is one of the qualities that smarter people tend to possess, and it may actually lead to messiness. He says it's not messiness that helps creativity, but creativity which may create messiness. Such people tend to get lost inthought while focusing on a problem or issue. And cleanliness becomes of less importance that focusing on the problem at hand.Questions:14. According to the passage, what are intelligent people like in most people's eyes?15. According to Jonathan White from DukeUniversity. Which of the following statements is true?16. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: James, have you read about the new research into the human brain?M: Not yet. What does it say?W: It says men are better at some things like map reading and finding direction, while women are better at other things like remembering words and faces.M: Interesting! Now I understand why I'm the one of my family who does all the map reading.W: The research was done by a team from the University of Pennsylvania. They looked at the brains of nearly one thousand men and women and found they are wired differentlyM: Wired differently? You mean"connected in different ways"?W: Right! In males, the stronger connections run within each half o the brain. In women. The stronger connections are between the two sides of the brain.M: I see.W: The difference might explain why men are better at learning and performing a single task, like reading maps or cycling. But women are often better at doing several things at the same time. They can also concentrate on a task for longer.M: Now. I can understand why I cannot do several things together.W: But not everyone agrees. A professor from the University of Oxford said the connections inside the brain are not permanently fixed, and the brain is very complex. Without sufficient data, you can't jump to any general conclusions.M: I guess the professor is right now.(Now, listen again.)Questions:17: What is the conversation mainly about?18: Compared with women's brains, what does the new research find out about men's brains?19. According to the new research, which of the following are women better at?20: What does the professor from the University of Oxford think of the new research findings?语法填空Start With the End and Work BackwardsWhen Jason Hoelscher was an undergraduate of fine art studies, there weren't any professional development classes. So ambition and the timely realization (21)________ he would have to determine "what's next" on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996, and he was finishing his BFA (Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sitting back to wait for something (22)________(happen), or pursuing a path into the unknown. He chose the latter.Jason set up a plan that in five years he (23)________ (show) his work in the top gallery in that area of the country. This five-year goal gave him a starting point (24)________ which to work backwards.By setting this goal, all of Jason's efforts (25)________ (point) in the same direction. He showed up at different art show openings, and researched as best he could to make (26)________ familiar with the market environment.As a result of showing up, Jason took opportunities (27)________ got him closer to his goal. He sent work to a student show and was accepted by Robin Rule, the owner of Rule Gallery. (28)________ (inspire), Jason spent the next month making new work.In April of 1997, Jason went back to Rule Gallery with his new work. (29)________ scared to death, he looked confident at the gallery meeting. When he left, he left as the newest addition to the Rule Gallery roster (花名册). He had his first exhibition there one year later.Jason could have stopped with the show selection, but what he really wanted was gallery representation. He struck while the iron was hot , and in (30)________ (do) so, shortened his five-year plan into a year-and-a-half.⼩猫钓鱼(选⾃《纽约时报》2018.2.8)Everyone a ChangemakerWe’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition (转变). For thousands of years most people's lives had a certain ___31___. You went to school to learn a trade or a skill — baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living by repeating the same skill over the course of your career. But these days machines can do pretty much anything that's ___32___. The new world requires a different sort of person. Bill Drayton, founder of Ashoka, the organization that supports 3,500 social entrepreneurs (企业家) in 93 countries, calls this new sort of person a changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize teams, lead collective action and then ___33___ adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus , that allows people to ___34___ with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood to a crime when it is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime information and work together.In the changing society, to form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls "the ability to understand how people are feeling in ___36___ circumstances and to act for the good of all.”It doesn't matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant. Companies will now only hire people who can ___37___ problems and organize responses. But a lot of people still live without this mind-set. So the central ___38___ of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker.In an earlier era, society realized it needed universal ___39___ — the ability to read and write. Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mind-set universal. They have to understand it will lead to success and this kind of ___40___ shift can be promoted.A. alert B. challenge C. continually D. evolving E. literacy F. locate G. mental H. network I. pattern J. repetitive K. reversely完型填空(选⾃《卫报》2017.8.4)According to the World Economic Forum, more people are travelling than ever before. Lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for ___41___ periods. The rise of "city breaks” — 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures — has increased tourist numbers, but not their ___42___ spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same facilities as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time," says Xavier Font, a professor of sustainability marketing. "For ___43___, the city no longer belongs to them."So Venice proposes what it is calling "detourism": sustainable travel tips (建议) and ___44___ routes for exploring a true Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flood in each year.A greater variety of ___45___ for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center — can have the effect of diverting (分流) them from already crowded landmarks, or ___46___ short breaks in the first place. Longer stays ___47___ the pressure, says Font. "If you go to Paris for two days, you're going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you're not going to go to the Eiffel tower 14 times."Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the ___48___. "We should be asking how do we get tourists to ___49___, not how to get them to come for the first time. If they're coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to get to know our lifestyle and local customs."Local governments are now ___50___ this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible tour operator, and even high-paying consumers. Font says, however, cities could be more ___51___ about the tourists they try to attract even when the marketing success is currently measured by how many there are, and how far they’ve come.He points to unpublished data from a Venice tourist board that gives priority to Japanese tourists for spending an average of $40 more per day than French tourists — a(n) ___52___ that fails to take into account the more carbon emissions the Japanese produces on their way. ___53___ tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local products, and ___54___ to less crowded parts of the city. All are productive steps towards more ___55___ tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41. A. earlier B. later C. longer D. shorter42.

But questions can sometimes be a bit more...wacky.“What kind of animals would you be?” is one of the unique questions mentioned by senior managers in the survey. It is a way to keep interviewees on their feet and stimulate interesting discussion.However, such question are asked less frequently, the research shows. Just 6 percent of senior managers said their favorite questions to ask are theoretical questions, the lowest total except for “other,” which also came in at 6 percent. A lot of senior managers said their favorite questions are ones “relating to the position or company,” at 39 percent. These questions include “Why do you want to work here?”, “What do you know about this company?” etc. They are meant to determine if candidates have done their homework and how enthusiastic they are about the position.Questions about “previous or current experience” were referred to by 22 percent of senior managers as their favorite type of question. These inquiries — “Why did you leave your last job?” and “What did you like or dislikeabout your last job?” for instance — are meant to look into applicants’ work history patterns and their overall fit for the position.Further down the list, 18 percent of senior managers’ favorite questions had to do with personalities and characteristics. They prefer, for example, “What are your strengths and weakness?” and “What’re your hobbies?”. And 10 percent had to do with personal goals and interests (“Where do you see yourself in five or 10 years?”) That means that managers strongly prefer to ask candidates questions about their interest in the position and work history. But there’s always room for a sudden surprise.56. In this passage, the word “wacky” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to “______”. A. common B. aggressive C. inevitable D. weird 57. According to the survey, senior managers’ most preferred questions are meant to find out ______. A. what work experience candidates had B. how well-prepared candidates are C. what candidates are most interested in D. how knowledgeable candidates are 58. What will senior managers ask to determine how suitable a candidate is for the position? A.What kind of animal would you be? B.Why do you want to work here?C.What did you like or dislike about your last job?D.Where do you see yourself in five or 10 years? 59. What is the passage mainly about?A.Interview questions favoured by managers.B.Managers’ attitudes to interview questions.C.How managers prepare interview questions.D.How managers make interview questions interesting.(B) 2019 Spring Evaluation Schedule For Learn T o SkateMT .

The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors (反应堆) that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate (发电) between 50MW (megawatt, a unit of power) and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a traditional reactor. They will draw on modular (模块化的) manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has troubled larger-scale projects for long. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs) — most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s — are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK. Since the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerest; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing facilities to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence. However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point — which together will generate 3.2GW (gigawatt, a unit of power) of electricity — has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees unclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactor, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.63. What can be learned from the passage about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.They don’t work on the same principles as traditional reactors.B.They haven’t been widely used for business purposes.C.They are at a critical stage of being manufactured.D.They operate more flexibly than wind generators.64. In paragraph 2, the writer mentions the plants in different countries in order to _____. A.show that the advanced technology of EDF is mature B.argue against the popular use of nuclear powerC.prove that their construction costs more than availableD.suggest a possible solution to budget problems 65. What can be inferred from the passage?A.The UK government is reducing its funding for ageing nuclear facilities.B.Some people have lost their confidence in the use of nuclear power.C.People are more supportive of solar and wind energy than nuclear energy.D.The UK is decreasing the impact of nuclear power on tis economy. 66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? rge-scale nuclear plants will be a big hit B.Traditional reactors boom with new mini ones C.The government should reflect on nuclear safety D.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to success 六选四Importance of Ethics (道德准则)Two 1996 studies indicate the importance of the study of ethics to students in journalism and mass communications programs. A survey of seventy-three media ethics courses at universities across the country revealed a continuing rise in enrollment. _____67_____. Also, media organizations have told educators that they value students’ critical-thinking and problem-solving skills and their sense of ethics.However, reasons for studying ethics go beyond what potential employers desire. Proper behavior is necessary for growth and order. If one objective of an education is to promote the growth and development of the individual, then the place to start is with personal behavior.Developing a sense of what is right and wrong, or appropriate and inappropriate, will promote order, not only in individual lives but also in society at large. _____68_____. Speed limits are set, proper directions are indicated, and numerous suggestions are made — seat belts, for example — so that automobile travel is reasonably safe and efficient. Without the “rules” of the road, travel becomes chaotic (混乱的). Order is necessary. _____69_____. It sets “rules” for proper human activity and as a result promotes growth, development, and order in individual lives._____70_____. Not every problem is an ethical one, and even when an ethical problem does present itself, people sometimes make the wrong ethical decision, or they make the right ethical decision and it results in unforeseen negative consequences. Nevertheless, people must realize that without a large number of individuals “doing the right thing,” society would not be doing much at all except fighting for survival and trying to figure out an increasingly chaotic world.Things are bad enough with ethics; think how bad they might be without them.概要写作(选⾃《美国环保署》)Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate (给…授花粉) large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.A.Ethical behavior could play the same role.B.Think, for example, of the order required to move traffic on roads and highways.C.Ethics promotes not only a better individual but also a better society.D.The other study noted that 44 percent of the responding schools required students to complete an ethics course.E.In conclusion, ethics seeks to resolve moral problems by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong.F.Ethics, however, is not a magic cure-all.。

In some way, Rose Bay has witnessed the surprising history of flying boats, type of early seaplane. On the fifth of Julv, 1938, an empire class flying boat departed from here, Australia's first international airport. It was heading for England and mark the start of the golden age of flying boats. Over ten days, with thirty stops along the route, passengers enjoyed a first class service, including breakfasts of fruit, steak, juice and wine.But the flight didn't come cheap. Tickets were far beyond the reach of most Australians at a price that was equivalent to an annual salary. The service was suspended in 1942 as war took hold and the planes were officially-used by the air force. By the time normal life started again after the war,land-based aircraft haddeveloped rapidly, and flying boats were looking increasingly out of date. However. Sydney and its vast waters remained well-placed to exploit their resources, and so began a new age for the flying boatsQuestions:11. When did the golden age of flying boats start?12. Why was the service of empire class flying boats stopped in the early 1940s?13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?Questions 14through 16 are based on the following passage.According to some psychologists, intelligence is the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to change one's environment. Skills like learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving enhance these abilities. Therefore, certain habits may be evidence you've got these skills. For example, it is commonly thought that those who are intelligent are organized and have everything in their workspace arranged neatly. But that's not the case.In an experiment from the University of Minnesota, people in a messy setting came up with more creative ideas than those in a neat space. Kathleen Watts, study author says disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce the fresh idea. Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage following traditions and playing it safe. But according to JonathanWhite, a research scientist at Duke University, creativity is one of the qualities that smarter people tend to possess, and it may actually lead to messiness. He says it's not messiness that helps creativity, but creativity which may create messiness. Such people tend to get lost in thought while focusing on a problem or issue. And cleanliness becomes of less importance that focusing on the problem at hand.Questions:14. According to the passage, what are intelligent people like in most people's eyes?15. According to Jonathan White from DukeUniversity. Which of the following statements is true?16. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: James, have you read about the new research into the human brain?M: Not yet. What does it say?W: It says men are better at some things like map reading and finding direction, while women are better at other things like remembering words and faces.M: Interesting! Now I understand why I'm the one of my family who does all the map reading.W: The research was done by a team from the University of Pennsylvania. They looked at the brains of nearly one thousand men and women and found they are wired differentlyM: Wired differently? You mean"connected in different ways"?W: Right! In males, the stronger connections run within each half o the brain. In women. The stronger connections are between the two sides of the brain.M: I see.W: The difference might explain why men are better at learning and performing a single task, like reading maps or cycling. But women are often better at doing several things at the same time. They can also concentrate on a task for longer.M: Now. I can understand why I cannot do several things together.W: But not everyone agrees. A professor from the University of Oxford said the connections inside the brain are not permanently fixed, and the brain is very complex. Without sufficient data, you can't jump to any general conclusions.M: I guess the professor is right now.(Now, listen again.)Questions:17: What is the conversation mainly about?18: Compared with women's brains, what does the new research find out about men's brains?19. According to the new research, which of the following are women better at?20: What does the professor from theUniversity of Oxford think of the new research findings?选自《纽约时报》(https:///2018/02/08/opinion/changemaker-social-entrepreneur.html)Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people's lives had a certain ___31___. You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that's ___32___. The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then ___33___ adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to ___34___ with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls "cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all." Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in ___36___ circumstances. "For the good of all" is the capacity to build teams.It doesn't matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can ___37___ problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with this mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: "We don't need you. We don't need your kids, either." Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central ___38___ of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal ___39___. Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of ___40___ shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.DABHC IEGKF选自《卫报》(https:///cities/2017/aug/04/tourism-kills-neighbourhoods-save-city-break)More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for ___41___ periods.The rise of "city breaks"48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance hasincreased tourist numbers, but not their ___42___ spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time," says Font. "For ___43___, the city no longer belongs to them."This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek ___44___ outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also ___45___ a better way, it is calling "detourism": sustainable travel tips and ___46___ itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of ___47___ for prospective visitors ------ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center-------can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or ___48___ short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays ___49___ the pressure, says Font. "If you so to Paris for two days, you're going to go to the Eifel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you're not going to go to the Eiffel tower 14 times."Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the ___50___, "We should be asking how do we get tourists to ___51___, not how to get them to come for the first time. If they're coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours."Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come.“You're thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists a(n) ___52___ that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint ___53___ tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and ___54___ to less crowded parts of the city ------all productive steps towards more ___55___ tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.(B)(C)选自《金融时报》(https:///content/c2bd2f8c-8b67-11e8-b18d-0181731a0340)Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning — andthe fears of something going badly wrong. The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk. These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs) — most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s — are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind. “The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK. Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.……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.选自《美国环保署》(https:///pollinator-protection/colony-collapse-disorder)Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster(CCD). The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of traveling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food prices. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.翻译1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?( motivate)What was it that motivated Xiao Wang to learn electronic engineering?What on earth has motivated Xiao Wang’s enthusiasm to study electronic engineering?2.网上支付方便了用户,但是牺牲了他们的隐私。

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects.

But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to f5om in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A. AMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsB. Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksC. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetD. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMrs64. In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to ________.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B. show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsB.

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.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as straw berries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect.第Ⅱ卷(共40分)Ⅴ.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form ofthe given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Start With the End and Work BackwardsWhen Jason Hoel scher was an undergraduate of fine art studies, there weren ’ t any professional development classes. So ambition and the timely realization (21) he would have todetermine “ what ’ s next ” onurgedhisowJason to engage his future self to find direction. It was1996,and he was finishing his BFA(Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choiceof sitting back to wait for something (22) (happen),or pursuing a path into theunknown. He chose the latter.Jason set up a plan that in five years he (23) (show) his work in the top gallery inthat area of the country. This five-year goal gave him a starting point (24) which towork backwards.By setting the goal, all of Jason ’s efforts (25) (point) in the same direction. Heshowed up at different art show openings, and researched as best he could to make (26)familiar with the market environment.As a result of showing up, Jason took opportunities (27) got him closer to hisgoal. He sent work to a student show and was accepted by Robin Rule, the owner of RuleGallery.(28) (inspire),Jason spent the next month making new work.In April of 1997,Jason went back to Rule Gallery with his new work.(29) scaredto death, he looked confident at the gallery meeting. When he left, he left as the newest addition tothe Rule Gallery roster ( 花名册 ),He had his first exhibition there one year later.Jason could have stopped with the show selection, but what he really wanted was gallery representation. He struck while the iron was hot, and in (30) (do) so, shortened hisfive-year plan into a year-and-a-half.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be usedonly once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. repetitiveB. continuallyC. alertsD. patternE. locateF. mentalG. challengeH. networkI. evolving J. reversely K. literacyBill Drayton believes we ’ remiddlinthe of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people ’ s lives had a certain31.You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that ’s32 .The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 33 adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andr és Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 34 with their neighbors.The app has a panic button that 35 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls“ cognitive empathy-based living for t he good of all. ” Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 36 circumstances. “ For the good of all ” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn ’matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world offollowing rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: “ We dont’need you. We don’ tneed your kids, either. Of”course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 38 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 39 .Today,schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. Theyhave to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 40 shift can be p romoted.It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases markedA,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costsmeans they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of“ city breaks-hour”bursts48 of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annualleave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their42 spread. The sameattractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, andvisitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “ Toomany people do the samething at the exact same time,” says43Font,the. city no“ Forlonger belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitorsto seek44outside of the city centre on its official website.“ Thatrelly,takes some balls,to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to theirresidents they’ re doing all they can [tocongeasestion].”But it also45 a better way, it is called“ detourism” :sustainableantravel tips46itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ------ ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting themfrom already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longerstays49the pressure, says Font.“ If you go to Paris for two days, you’ re going to go to Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’ re not going to go to TowertheEiffel14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the50,“ Weshould be asking howwe get tourists to51,not how to get them to come for the first time. If they‘ re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsibleoperator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective aboutthe tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are,and how far they’ ve come.“ You’ re thinking,‘costyeah... but’ at.”whatHe points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanesetourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n)52thatfails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint.53tourists are also more likely tobe repeat visitors that come at off-peak times,buy local produce, and54to lesscrowded parts of the city------all productive steps towards more 55tourism, and morepeaceful relations with residents.41.

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of powercompared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modularmanufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs) — most of which will not becommercial until the 2030s — are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly fallingcosts of solar and wind.“ Thephysics hasn’changedt. It’abouts much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibilityin terms of operation, said”Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power.But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluotoin Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a tHinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’ s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet toughcarbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclearpower ’ s ability to restoreconfidence.However, the country’agreements with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point — which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity — has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital tothe countr y’ s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much - needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ?56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B. Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks.C. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.D. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64. In paragraph 5,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B. show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants.B.The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C.The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D. A kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.66.Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A.Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB.Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC.Nuclear ’s share of power generation remain steadyD.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successIV. 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.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees.

So ambition and the timely realization (21) he would have to determine “what’s next” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996,and he was finishing his BFA(Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sitting back to wait for something (22) (happen),or pursuing a path into the unknown.

He struck while the iron was hot, and in (30) (do) so, shortened his five-year plan into a year-and-a-half.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be usedonly once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain 31 .You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s32 .The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker. Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 33 adapt as situations change. For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 34 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 35 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.” Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 36 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: “We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 38 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 39 .Today,schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 40 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases markedA,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exac t same time,” says Font. “For 43 ,the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel tips an46 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ------ ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days,you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 ,not how to get them to come for the first time. If they ‘re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 54 to less crowded parts of the city------all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41.

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of powercompared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a t Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ₤56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63.Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B.Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks.C.So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.ernments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64.In paragraph 5,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to .A.prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B.show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C.indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D.point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants.B.The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C.The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D.A kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear r eactors.66.Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A.Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB.Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC.Nuclear ’s share of power generation remain steadyD.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successIV.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.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster(CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.第 II 卷(共 40 分)V.Translation:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?(motivate)2.网上支付方便了客户,但是牺牲了他们的隐私。

So ambition and the timely realization (21) he would have to determine “what’s next” on his ow n urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996,and he was finishing his BFA(Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sitting back to wait for something (22) (happen),or pursuing a path into the unknown. He chose the latter.Jason set up a plan that in five years he (23) (show) his work in the top gallery in that area of the country. This five-year goal gave him a starting point (24) which to work backwards.By setting the goal, all of Jason’s efforts (25) (point) in the same direction. He showed up at different art show openings, and researched as best he could to make (26) familiar with the market environment.As a result of showing up, Jason took opportunities (27) got him closer to his goal. He sent work to a student show and was accepted by Robin Rule, the owner of Rule Gallery.(28) (inspire),Jason spent the next month making new work.In April of 1997,Jason went back to Rule Gallery with his new work.(29) scared to death, he looked confident at the gallery meeting. When he left, he left as the newest addition to the Rule Gallery roster (花名册),He had his first exhibition there one year later.Jason could have stopped with the show selection, but what he really wanted was gallery representation. He struck while the iron was hot, and in (30) (do) so, shortened his five-year plan into a year-and-a-half.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be usedonly once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain 31 .You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s32 .The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker. Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 33 adapt as situations change. For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 34 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 35 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for t he good of all.” Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 36 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: “We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 38 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 39 .Today,schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 40 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases markedA,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 43 ,the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel tips an46 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ------ ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center ------ can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 ,not how to get them to come for the first time. If they ‘re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 54 to less crowded parts of the city------all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.41.

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of powercompared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” sa id Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a t Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the countr y’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ₤56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63.Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B.Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks.C.So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.ernments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64.In paragraph 5,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to .A.prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B.show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C.indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D.point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants.B.The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C.The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D.A kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear r eactors.66.Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A.Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB.Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC.Nuclear ’s share of power generation remain steadyD.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successIV.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.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster(CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.第 II 卷(共 40 分)V.Translation:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性?(motivate)2.网上支付方便了客户,但是牺牲了他们的隐私。
