They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was also given a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs. Last fall, she entered Yale and set a course to earn both a PhD andmedical degree.4. What does the underlined word “perseverance” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. instant passion.B. continuous efforts.C. great patience.D. selfless ambitions.5. How did Fearce feel facing the sufferings?A. Sad and disappointed.B. Stressed and defeated.C. Determined and confident.D. Joyous and contented.6. What can we know about Fearce’s learning experience?A. Her grandma encouraged her to study medicine.B. Her high school offered her free meals and courses.C. She failed to study late due to frequent power cut.D. She gained remarkable high school achievement.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. From Homeless to YaleB. Meet American’s Top GirlC. Disabled but not DefeatedD. Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many TalentsCFor 30 years we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to unheard of levels. This is causing polar ice to melt, sea-levels to rise and has brought about adangerous increase in extreme weather events. These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic (人为的) in nature. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased amount of gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere, causing global warming.The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world. The most recent assessment report says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0. 74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005, and that the average temperature will continue to rise. There have also been more violent downpours, sea levels have risen and the ice at the world’s poles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries inAsiaand small islands in the Pacific. This may lead to the displacement of millions of people, loss of millions ofland and consequently billions of dollars.Troubled by the serious situation, world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference inParis. The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change. That was certainly an encouraging step forward for our earth and mankind!As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet, we need to continue to take small steps to heal the world. We are left with not much of a choice. If only we could just pack our bags and migrate to Mars!8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A. The information of industrial revolution.B. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.C. The reasons of climate change.D. The result of extreme weather events.9. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. We have made great achievements.B. Some measures are still required to take.C. Mars is suitable for people’s living.D. Some countries will receive urgent aid.10. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. Long Live Planet Earth!B.Environment Changes Rapidly!C. What Serious Global Warming!D. How Important the UN Agreement Is!11. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A. B.C. D.DIt was the first day of spring here but it didn't feel like it. The COVID-19 epidemic (流行病) was sweeping the globe and everywhere there were feelings of fear and loneliness. “Social Distancing” had become the new norm. Here the schools had been closed, the restaurant dining rooms had been shut, and people had been told to work from home whenever they could. Even the sheltered workshop where my oldest son worked had been closed until further notice. People had made a run on the stores and large areas of the shelves were bare. On the news the numbers of the sick and dead continued to rise. It felt like there was a weight on the souls of everyone in the world.My family were staying at home as much as possible and as I looked out of my window I wondered how long this crisis would last. It was then, however, that I saw something that lifted that weight off of my soul, made me smile, and made my heart feel happy again. On the street below my house there was an old friend of mine from high school who was a teacher there. With him was my younger son's former aide from the high school as well. They were delivering the school lunches door to door to the hungry children who were stuck at home. Watching them made me think of something everyone's childhood television neighbor, Mr. Roger's once said: "In the bad times, always look for the helpers."I have no doubt that this crisis will pass as all the crisis before. But it is our choice on whether it brings out the best in us or the worst in us. Let it bring out the best in you. Use it to strengthen your faith. Use it to free yourself from fear. Use it to grow kinder, more giving, and more loving. Become a helper to all those in need and you will be a happy person today and all the days to come.12. Why didn't the author like the first day of spring?A. He had to work at home instead of at office.B. There wasn't social distance between each other.C. There was an epidemic everywhere in the world.D. His own company had been closed for a long time.13. How did people feel in the face of the epidemic?A. Disappointed.B. TenseC. Confident.D. Cheerful.14. What made the author happy?A. Seeing someone delivering lunches from door to door.B. Talking with his old friend in the street.C. Watching a childhood television at home.D. Staying together with his family.15. What do Mr. Roger's words actually mean?A. It's not necessary for us to find helpers in bad times.B. In good times we needn't do much to help others.C. We should ask more people to help us in bad times.D. We are supposed to help each other in bad times.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The online shoppingplatform Taobao is a game changer and(22) (revolutionize) the way we buyand sell.Taobao, or “treasure hunt”, recently became the largest e-merce website in termsof traffic, surpassing Amazon. It has 190 million (23) (register) users andserves (24) (big)marketplace in the world.

Just three years later, eBayshut down its site and now Taobao controls about 80 percent of the country’s onlineshopping market.It charges almost (26) to list items for sale and makes most of its moneyfrom advertising. It also plans to share transaction data with its users so they cancash it on buying trends. This allows anyone with an idea and a puter to start a viablebusiness, doing away (27) the need for significant start-up capital.

She opened up a store selling children’s clothingnear Nuren Jie, (29) was a popular market in Beijing. It was not a greatsuccess but her online sales through Taobao went ballistic. She closed the store andis now e-merce only.Effectively, taobao has bee the country’s high street, but with global reach.(30)China is the worl d’s manufacturing base, it is relatively easy for individuals to source cheap goods and sell at a reasonable markup. Micro-stores are opening in their thousands everyday and delivering an amazing variety of goods.but;has revolutionized; registered; the biggest; Although; nothing; with; Insteadof; which; AsSection BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word canbe used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The movie ”Jurassic Park” shown sometime this year took cinema lovers by stormand since then, there has been a revived interest in dinosaurs. Numerous articleshave been written and intensive research has been conducted on dinosaurs.Scientists believe that dinosaurs came into existence about 180,000,000 yearsago, but have been extinct for several millions of years, and to-date, only reconstructed fossil (31) serve as tangible(实际的) proof that dinosaurs didexist on earth at one time.Dinosaurs were actually reptiles, a separate class of animals with the following (32) ;they are cold-blooded; they can live on land; they have a (33) typeof heart and most of them have scales.The first reptiles appeared long before the dinosaurs (34) big lizards and (35) short tails, thick legs and big heads. They subsisted mainly on plants.The first dinosaurs resembled their reptile (36) ,but they could walk on theirhind legs. Some kinds remained small, but in the course of time, others grew to (37) sizes and lengths, ranging from 8 to 20 feet and weighing more than an elephant. Therewas a giant dinosaur, known as Brontosaurus, measuring70-80 feet long and weighing38 tons. Another(38) kind, called Allesaurus, could walk about on land, and (39) on the Brontosaurus and other plant-eating reptiles, with its sharp teeth and powerfulclaws.Today, dinosaurs are only found in books, pictures and in motion pictures. With the remarkably widespread interest in dinosaurs, people bee agog in asking this question: Why did the giant creatures bee extinct? Many scientists offer one conjecture(猜测) that they disappeared because of the changes in the climate of the earth, which deprived them of the places to live in and feed. Other experts have recently e up with the theory that giant meteors (40) upon the earth and destroyed the dinosaurs in an instant. Many more theories may be put forward by experts, but still, no one had a conclusive and definite answer to the puzzle.HFACI DKBEGIII. Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The most obvious benefit of a single currency is that it will no longer be necessary to incur(引起)the costs of exchange from one currency to another. Travelers know that these costs are not negligible. First of all, there is a mission (41) (usually a fixed amount); secondly, the price (42) which the traveler purchases foreign currency for domestic currency (43) from the price of exchanging back surplus (过剩)foreign currency. The removal of these transaction costs constitutes a gain from monetary union.Another benefit is that removal of exchange rate (44) between the countries of the EU would provide much more assurance to (45) location decisions. At present, a pany takes (46) of the risk of exchange rate variation in its location decision, and this may lead it to scatter its plants across the various economies to hedge against(防范)the risk of exchange rate variation. Removing this source of uncertainty allows investors to (47) according to economies of scale and may lead to more plants of (48) size, a reduction in unit cost of production, and increase in (49) .A single currency provides the (50) for counter-inflationary(反通胀)policies.A single currency could lead to a (51) in the market discrimination that currently exists in the EU(for example, prices of motor cars of the (52) specification(规格) stand higher in the UK than they do in France) as the quotation(报价) of prices in mon currency discourages arbitrage(套利)activity and reduces the market division(53) which such discrimination relies.(54) , firms in one country cannot continue to (55) their prices higher than their European petitorsand still remain petitive.41.A. money B. sum C. tip D. charge42.A. on B. at C. in D. over43.A. different B. infers C. differs D. variable44.A. float B. contrast C. difference D. variation45.A. appropriate B. cooperative C. corporate D.reasonable46.A. account B. count C. mind D. range47.A. decide B. locate C. choose D. invest48.A. largest B. maximum C. medium D. optimum49.A. effect B. effectiveness C. deficiency D. efficiency50.A. shade B. firework C. framework D. door51.A. rise B. reduction C. revival D. cause52.A. same B. different C. similar D. excessive53.A. in B. on C. over D. at54.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given inthe passage you have just read.(A)The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, bee "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are being more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of remendation in the intense petition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the pletion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.56.what do stiletto heels refer to according to the passage?, ___.A.Heels most appropriate for catwalks.B.shoes that fit retail sector workers best.C.heels with the limit of an inch.D.very high heels that women wear.57.why did the Trade Union leaders propose to ban stiletto heels from the workplace?A.they believed that these shoes are harmful to women workers’ health.B.they maintained that women should decide what to wear at work.C.they thought these shoes give women excuse to ask for a sick leave.D.they didn’t want to work in the place that looks like Hollywood.58.Nadine Dorries disapproved the motion because she felt that the extra height of the heels_____A.improved her vision.B.boosted her confidence.C.helped people to find her.D.made her more in control of her life.59.How does Michelle Dewberry see the motion?.A.It should be supported for the sake of women’s health.B.The union officials shouldn’t have debates o n any motions.C.It’s unnecessary and women have right to decide what to wear.D.The union leaders should decide on the tightness of ties instead.DABC(B)Noad was a tall, handsome 23-year-old Balinese man who was in love with one girlbut expected to marry another. His stepmother had arranged everything- he would wed a distant relation and bring the two families closer together. Noad had two choices. He would either marry the girl he did not love, or he could go against the wishes of parents and be expelled from his village. Actually he had another choice, one which none of his family foresaw. One day his friends found him slumped in a ma on hes bed after he had consumed two litres of a powerful insecticide.For more than 60 years the tropical Indonesian island of Bali has been portrayed to the outside world as a heavenly paradise where a strong culture and sense of munity protect its inhabitants from the rigors of the modern world. It is an image supported by many millions of dollars from the international hotel munity which provides luxury acmodation and facilities for nearly a million foreign visitors now travelling annually to the holiday island.Yet behind the marketing hype lies another story- one which exist in stark contrast to the s un, sand and sea”dream”. The truth is that the lives of Bali’s 2.7 million local inhabitants are often marked by poverty, suffering and family conflict. Ketut is a 22-year-old maid who works part-time for an expatriate resident in Ubud, in the centre of the island. Her husband works as a driver for a white-water rafting pany which provides day trips to tourists.”sometimes i have no money for my baby because my husband gambles all his wages.” the husband’s father, unfamiliar with western support system, bats his son’s behavior by calling in the dukun, a spiritual” healer”who makes offerings to the bad spirits at play in his mind.60. You would expect to find this passage in______ ?A. A newspaperB. An advertisementC.a travel brochureD.a book61. It can be inferred from the paragraph 1 that the third choice that Noad’s family failed to foresee is that____.A. He fell into sleepB. He went against their wishes and left homeC. He mited suicideD. He started to take drugs62.In paragraph 2 it refers to______A. Strong culture.B. Sense of munity.C. Heavenly paradise.D. The modern world.BCC(C)Most people dont leave their front door unlocked, and the same is true of their home Wi-Fi networks. But some believe that preventing access to your wireless Internet actually does more harm than good. Peter Eckersley of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organisation devoted to defending digital rights, is calling for an "Open Wireless Movement" and encouraging people to be "socially responsible" by sharing their connection. Eckersley pares the current situation of locked-down networks to "finding yourself parched(干透的)and thirsty while everyone around you is sipping from nice tall glasses of iced water", and offers a technological solution. We restrict access to our networks for two reasons: to prevent other people from using up our bandwidth, and to ensure our security and privacy. He suggests we can still protect ourselves from both problems by using routers(路由器)that share a certain amount of bandwidth in the open while also providing an encrypted(加密的)connection for personal use, but such technology already exists, and people arent choosing to use it. Perhaps the problem is not technological, but legal, as home users dont want to be responsible for the activities of others on their network. Quite understandable, really. But Eckersley says that "individuals can enjoy the same legal protections against liability as any other Internet access provider", but the law is far from clear in this area and differs from country to country. In a footnote on his article, Eckersley says US law "may" offer protection, but that didnt prevent a man who left his network open from being called a paedophile(恋童癖者)by armed police in his livingroom this past weekend. Courts in Germany have previously ruled that people can be fined if they allow unauthorised users to access illegal materials through their connection, while in the UK disputes over recent changes to the law leave the matter uncertain. Perhaps these legal concerns can be overe by turning to an unlikely role-model —Estonia, where access to the Internet is a legal human right. The country is blanketed in a network of free Wi-Fi access points in cafes, bars and other public locations, allowing people to easily get online almost anywhere. So who wants to open up their network first?63 What does the author say about the Electronic Frontier Foundation?A.It encourages people to share their networks.B.Its work is about protecting digital rights.C.It is advocating an "Open Wireless Movement".D.Its main business is trading electronics.64. One reason leading most people to lock their network is________A. Laws protect home users of internet from responsibilities.B. Internet access provides take no responsibility for their users’ illegal activitiesC. Home users enjoy the same right as internet access providers.D. It is internet access providers who should be responsible for their user’s activities.65. What can be inferred from Eckersl ey’s words individual......internet access provider in para4_________.A. Laws protects home users of internet from responsibilitiesB. Internet access providers take no responsibility for their for their user’s illegal activities.C. Home users enjoy the same rights as internet access providersD it is internet access providers who should be responsible for their user’sactivities.66. What information can be got about Estonia from the passage? .A.It restricts free access to internetB. Free Wi-Fi is set up all over the countryC. It is impossible for other countries to follow its suitD its people can get free Wi-Fi access almost everywhere.BCBDSection DDirections: Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Second Life is an online imaginary world where a puter user can create a new self and experience a separate life. Second Life is similar to other popular "massively multiplayer online role-playing games." The pany Linden Lab of San Francisco, California created Second Life in two thousand three.____67____Then he or she creates an electronic image, or animated character, called an avatar. Some people try to make their avatar look as close to their real self as possible. Other people change their sex or bee an imaginary creature as their Second Life avatar.Once you have your avatar you bee a "resident" of Second Life. ____68____Your avatar also can make friends with other Second Life avatars. Residents can go to school, own a business, even get married. But, there are also activities in Second Life that are impossible in the real world. For example, if you do not feel like walking to that park near your Second Life home, why not fly?____69____But it costs money to get other accounts and to buy land. The virtual world has its own currency, the Linden dollar. You use these to buy virtual clothes, property, entertainment and many other things. You can earn Linden dollars by working at a job. That unreal money has a real life value. About two hundred fifty Linden dollars are worth one American dollar.Second Life is popular among schools and businesses.Many universities have set up campuses on the Web site. Many kinds of stores can also be found there. And, entertainers sometimes perform live on Second Life with their Second Life avatars.____70____It is said that the total number of residents is more than thirteen million from more than one hundred countries.BCDFIV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.It’s a joy to be youngA noted American psychologist once remarked that childhood is a magical period in one’s life.Indeed it is, for during childhood, one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in mental capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills.Each step signals an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities.During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns simple skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself independently.At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative.His ability to remember things also leaps at this stage. He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering.Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving.As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the plexities of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates.He also learns to experiment with new life situations, including dates and part-time work.Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play.Some youngsters look at life pessimistically. They plain that it is a tragedy to be young because they are faced with what they consider insumountable(无法克服的)problems and pressures at home and school, let alone with the opposite sex. Given that, however, children’s pressures pale in prison with the adults’. It is truethat studying can be burdensome at times, but at least children do not have the same pressure and burden that adults feel-the burden of working to make endsmeet and give the children a decent and fortable life.It is an inescapable truth that childhood is a happy stage- a time of sheer joy, innocence and freedom from the plexities and challenges of the adult world.第II卷(共40分)I.

In 2010, however, a car accident left her paralyzed from the waist down. For Hill, it was not the end of a dancing career but the beginning.Hill danced in her wheelchair right alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. It definitely took a lot of learning and patience to dance in a wheelchair.After graduation, Hill met people online who had suffered various injuries but shared her determination, and she invited them to dance with her. It was an amazing experience for her.In 2014 Los Angeles, she formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the Rollettes. “I want to break down the stereotype of wheelchair users and show that dance is dance, whether you’re walking or you’re rolling,” she said. Dancing on wheels, the Rollettes discovered, can be just as fast-paced, artful, and fulfilling as the foot-based variety.Hill has attained what many people never will: her childhood dream. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling. Every year she holds a dance camp for wheelchair users of all ages and abilities. She calls it the Rollettes Experience, and in 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended.For many, it was the first time they’d felt they belonged. Steph Aiello said that working英语学习讲义with Hill challenged her to be more independent. Edna Serrano said being part of the Rollettes team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car because she had more confidence.The dancers aren’t the only ones feeling inspired. One woman saw the team competing and commented, “You guys are so awesome! I’m in tears when you rock! To be in a wheelchair can still be so beautiful!”24. What do we know about Chelsie Hill from the first two paragraphs?A. She got seriously injured in a dancing match.B. She stopped dancing right after a car accident.C. She dreamed of being a dancer at a young age.D. She danced in a disabled team in high school.25. What does the underlined word “stereotype” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Conservative views.B. Improper behaviors.C. Incurable disabilities.D. Physical weaknesses.26. What do we know about the Rollettes Experience?A. Audience spoke ill of the competition.B. Participants benefited greatly from it.C. It is aimed to select the best dancers.D. It made Hill’s childhood dream fulfilled.27. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Chelsie Hill, An Artful DancerB. Disability, Good for DancingC. Help others; Help YourselfD. Attaining Dancing Dream In WheelchairCUniversity of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness.The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years,but not many studies have managed to actually link the two.To do that,Penn researchers,led by psychologist Melissa Hunt,designed a study that focused on WeChat,Snapchat and Instagram.The study was conducted with 143 participants,who before they began,completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens,showing how often they were using their phones to access social media."We set out to do a much more complete study which attempts to imitate real life." Hunt said.The study divided the participants into two groups:The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits.The other,the control group,was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media.The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then the participants returned and were tested for outcomes such as fear of missing out,anxiety,depression and loneliness.The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness."Using less social media than you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness," Hunt said.Social media invites what Hunt calls "downward social comparison." "When you're online,it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you're left out," Hunt said.And that's just generally discouraging."Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate." And these real life activities are the ones that can encourage self﹣esteem and self﹣worth,Hunt added."People are on their devices,and that's not going to change," she said.But as in life,a bit of control goes a long way.28 Before the study was conducted,the participants completed a survey to.A. imitate people's real lifeB. link loneliness to depressionC. show their use of social mediaD. prove social media is important29 The results of the study showed using less social media would result in.A. people's fear of missing outB. higher levels of depressionC. obvious relief in lonelinessD. lower levels of happiness30 In Hunt's opinion,which activity benefits more to mental health?A. Hiking out with friends.B. Making comparison with others.C. Playing computer games in spare time.D. Logging onto social media and having fun.31 Which can be the best title of the passage?A. A Study on Social Media.B. How to Improve Mental Health.C. People Addicted to Social Media.D. Social Media Influences Mental Health.英语学习讲义DThe discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal(地热的)energy.Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting(提炼)fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal(煤)produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building. What’s more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.32 Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because ______.A. the production of fossil fuels costs a lotB. fossil fuels are nearly used upC. it is free to use geothermal energyD. geothermal energy doesn’t depend on political situation 33 According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?A. Coal is much more efficient than gas.B. Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.C. Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.D. The geothermal systems don’t produce harmful gases.34 Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of ____.A. the life span of geothermal equipmentB. the nature of geothermal energyC. the small buildingsD. geothermal power plants35 What is the main idea of this passage?A. Geothermal energy has many advantages.B. Geothermal energy is well accepted.C. Fossil fuels are being run out of.D. Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

句意:格里永远不会忘记的激动人心的时刻是当他接近海港大桥和歌剧院的时候。

第一空为定语从句,关系词指代先行词moment并在从句中作remember的宾语,所以用that引导;第二空为表语从句,从句不缺主宾表,缺少时间状语,所以用when引导,故B项正确。

【点睛】解答定语从句关键分两步,一是找准先行词,二是确定关系词在从句中所做的成分,例如本题第一空,分析句子结构可知此处为定语从句,先行词为moment,从句中的remember缺少宾语而不缺时间状语,所以用关系代词that而不用关系副词when引导。

How Non-conformists Change the World and reiterates it in a popular ted talk(22)_______ he says that “procrastination is a vice when it comes to productivity, but it can be a virtue when it comes to creativity.” This point of view seems(23)_______(find)some support in existing studies that indicate a correlation between creativity and “putting things of.”Grant explains that the link between moderate procrastination and originality likely(24)_______(exist)because when we actively put off a task for a while, our preoccupation with the task itself does not disappear. Instead, the unfinished work “runs in the background” of our brains, (25)_______(buy)us time to find innovative solutions.One study(26)_______(publish)in Personality and Individual Differences in 2017 also found a link between creative ideation(coming up with creative ideas)and active procrastination. It suggested that among 853 undergraduates at Chinese universities, “active procrastinators” may be more prone to creativity.Boredom(27)_______ have something to do with this boost in creative thinking. Older research from the University of Florida in Gainesville suggests that people who procrastinate may be more prone to boredom than their peers.And while boredom itself is a concept that sometimes has negative connotations, studies(28)_______(show)that allowing ourselves to feel bored for a while can boost our creative abilities. The researchers explain that this may be because when we are bored, we allow our minds to wander, thus “training” our imaginations.Finally,(29)_______ putting off a task forever out of fear and self-doubt may be paralyzing and unhelpful, a little bit of “directed” procrastination will likely not be harmful and may allow us to assess the task at hand moreimaginatively.And for some of us, that pressure of looking a deadline straight in the eye can be just(30)_______ we need to keep us on our toes.

The toy industry is growing by 9% annually in the country, but the Danish firm’s Chinese arm notches up “very strong double digits,” says Paul Huang, its boss.It has done so even as the brick maker’s global business has looked shakier. In 2017 Lego cut 1, 400 jobs and 35 its first drop in revenues and profits in over a decade. But last year both ticked up again, by 4% each.

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)The Ebro Delta, in Spain, famous as a battleground during the Spanish Ci War, is now the setting for a different contest, one that is making rice farmers fight against two enemies: the rice eating giant apple snail, and rising sea levels. What happens here will have a bearing on the future of European rice production and the overallhealth of southem European wetlands.Located on the Mediterranean, just two hours south of Barcelona, the Ebro Delta produces 20 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent most important rice-growing areas. As the sea creeps into these fresh watch marshes, however, rising salinity(盐度)is hurting rice production. At the same time, this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pet species that fees on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become the play one enemy off against the other.The battle is currently being waged on land, in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the banner “Project Neurice” are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency that makes European rice ideal for traditional Spanish and ltalian dishes.“The project has two sides,” says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona. “The short -term fight against the snail, and a mid-to long term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project greater emergency.”Originally from South America, the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta by Global Aquatic Technologies, a company that raised the snails for fresh-water aquariums(水族)but failed to prevent their escape. For now, the giant apple snail’s presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta. But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat.“The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when.”Over the next year and a half investigators will test the various strains of salt-tolerant rice they’ve bred. In 2018, farmers will plant the varieties with the most promise in the Ebro Delta and Europe’s other two main rice-growing regions along the Po in Italy, and France’s Rhone. A season in the field will help determine which if any of the varieties are ready for commercialization.As an EU-funded effort, the search for salt-tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries. Each team is crossbreeding a local European short-grain rice with a long-grain Asian variety that carries the salt resistant gene. The scientists are breeding successive generations to arrive at varieties that in corporate salt tolerance but retain about 97 percent of the European rice genome(基因组).( ) 56. Why does the author mention the Spanish Civil War at the beginning of the passage?A. Because it significantly influences the lives of Spanish rice farmers.B. Because it is extremely important in the records of Spanish history.C. Because rice farmers there are engaged in another kind of battle of similar importance.D. Because rice farmers there are experiencing the hardships of wartime.( ) 57. What may be the most effective strategy for rice farmers to employ in fighting their enemies?A. Striking the weaker enemy first.B. Killing two birds with one stone.C. Eliminating the enemy one by one.D. Using one enemy to fight against the other.( ) 58. What does the Neurice project manager say about the giant apple snail?A. It can survive only on southern European wetlands.B. It will invade other rice-growing regions of Europe.C. It multiplies at a speed beyond human imagination.D. It was introduced into the rice fields on purpose.( ) 59. What is the ultimate goal of the EU-funded program?A. Cultivating ideal salt resistant rice varieties.B. Increasing the absorbency of the Spanish rice.C. Introducing Spanish rice to the rest of Europe.D. Popularizing the rice crossbreeding technology.(B)Information for Visitors.For large print versions and access information, ask at the Information Desk in the Great Court call +44(0)30 7323 8299. or visit britishmuseum. orgOpening timesGreat CourtSaturday-Thursday 09:00-18:00Friday 09:00-20:30Galleries and special exhibitionsSaturday-Thursday 10:00-17:30Friday 10:00-20:30Please note that galleries start closing 10 minutes before the published closing times.

Visitors can borrow a Multimedia Guide and a sound enhancement system is available to support sign-interpreted tours(C)Types of Social GroupsLife places us in a complex web of relationships with other people. Our humanness arises out of theserelationships in the course of social interaction. Moreover, our humanness must be sustained through social interaction-and fairly constantly so. When an association continues long enough for two people to become linked together by a relatively stable set of expectations, it is called a relationship.People are bound within relationships by two types of bonds: expressive ties and instrumental ties. Expressive ties are social links formed when we emotionally invest ourselves in and commit ourselves to other people. Through association with people who arc meaningful to us, we achieve a sense of security: love, acceptance, companionship, and personal worth. Instrumental lies are social links focused when we cooperate with other people to achieve some goal.Occasionally, this may mean working with, instead of against, competitors. More often, we simply cooperate with others to reach some end without endowing the relationship with any larger significance.Sociologists have built on the distinction between expressive and instrumental lies to distinguish between two types of groups: primary and secondary. A primary group involves two or more people who enjoy a direct, intimate, cohesive relationship with one another Expressive ties predominate in primary groups: we view the people as ends in themselves and valuable in their own right. A secondary group entails two or more people who are involved in an impersonal relationship and have come together for a specific, practical purpose. Instrumental ties predominate in secondary groups: we perceive people as means to ends rather than as ends in their own right. sometimes primary group relationships evolve out of secondary group relationships. This happens in many work settings. People on the job often develop close relationships with coworkers as they come to share gripes, jokes, gossip, and satisfactions.A number of conditions enhance the likelihood that primary groups will anise. First group size is important. We find it difficult to get to know people personally when they are milling about and dispersed in large groups. In small groups we have a better chance to initiate contact and establish rapport with them. Second, face-to face contact allows us to size up others. Seeing and talking with one another in close physical proximity makes possible a subtle exchange of ideas and feelings. And third, the probability that we will develop primary group bonds increases as we have frequent and continuous contact. Our ties with people often deepen as we interact with them across lime and gradually evolve interlocking habits and interests.Primary groups are fundamental to us and to society. Sociologists view primary groups as bridges between individuals and the larger society because they transmit mediate, and interpret a society’s cultural patens and provide the sense of oneness so critical for social solidarity. Primary groups, then serve both as carriers of social norms and as enforcers of them.( ) 63. According to Paragraph l, which of the following statements is true of a relationship?A. It is a structure of associations with many people.B. It should be studied in the course of social interaction.C. It places great demands on people.D. It develops gradually over time.( ) 64. Which of the following can be inferred from the author’s claim in paragraph 4 that primary group relationships sometimes evolve out of secondary group relationships?A. Secondary group relationships begin by being primary group relationships.B. A secondary group relationship that is highly visible quickly becomes a primary group relationship.C. Sociologists believe that only primary group relationships are important to society.D. Even in secondary groups, frequent communication serves to bring people into close relationships.( ) 65. The phrase “size up” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_________”.A. enlargeB. evaluateC. impressD. accept( ) 66. This passage is developed primarily by_________.A. drawing comparisons between theory and practice.B. presenting two opposing theoriesC. defining important conceptsD. discussing causes and their effectsSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.It’s time to re-evaluate how women handle conflict at work. Being overworked or over-committed at home and on the job will not get out where you want to be in life. It will only slow you down and hinder your career goals.Did you know women are more likely than men to feel exhausted? Nearly twice as many women than men ages 18-44 reported feeling. “very tired” exhausted,” according to a recent study.67 It’s also the age range when many women are trying to balance careers and home. One reason women may feel exhausted is that they have a hard time saying “no.” Women want to be able to do it all - volunteer for school parties or cook delicious meals -and so their answer to any request is often “Yes, I can.”Women struggle to say “no” in the workplace for similar reasons, including the desire to be liked by their colleagues. 68 .At the workplace, men use conflict as a way to position themselves, while women often avoid conflict or strive to be the peacemaker, because they don’t want to be viewed as aggressive or disruptive al work. 69Men are more likely to face that dispute from the perspective of what bicyclist then most, whereas women may approach the same dispute from the perspective of what’s the easiest and quickest way to resolve the problem-even if that means doing the boring work themselves.This difference in handling conflict could be the deciding factor in who gets promoted to a leadership position and who does not 70 . Shouldering more of the workload may not earn you that promotion. Instead, I may highlight your inability to delegate electively.IⅤ. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage.

Use your own words as far as possible.Researchers have just offered evidence in a study that says obesity appears to spread through social ties, much like a virus. When one person gains weight, their close friends often follow. But the finding might also offer hope.The researchers examined more than 40,000 social ties. They found that a person’s chance of becoming severely overweight increased by 57% if a friend had become obese. A sister or brother of a person who became obese had a 40% increased chance of becoming obese. The risk for a wife or husband was a little less than that.Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medial School was a lead investigator in the study. He says there is a direct causal relationship between a person getting fat and being followed in weight gain by a friend. The study found that the sex of the friends was also an influence. In same-sex friendships a person had a 70% increased risk of becoming obese. Men had a 44% increased risk of becoming obese after weight gain in brother. In sisters, it was 67%.The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each other. James Fowler of the University of Caledonia, San Diego, was the other lead investigator. He says a frond who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the same neighborhood. He says the study demonstrates the needto consider that a major part of people’s health is tied to their social connections.Both investigators say their research shows that obesity is not just a private medical issue, but a public health problem.V.

If students want to be admitted to the seven prestigious universities , they can ______。
