But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event. He developed schizophrenia(精神分裂症) later and spent many years without a home.Carter liked to spend time around UT, because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer. After running into Carter many times, UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper of UT.“I interviewed him on Austin’s homeless problems. After I heard his story, we kept in touch and really became friends. I learned he wanted to get back to UT, so I decided to help him,” said Chandler. “He had got 87 hours, very close to a degree. Now, with changing degree requirements, he only has 64 hours to go.”With the help of Chandler, who worked with the university office, Carter was assigned an adviser by UT’s College of Fine Arts. “It' s the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” Ca rter said. “He did what had to be done to get me back to school, and I couldn't have done it without him”After seeing a magazine article about Carter, a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees (学费)without telling Chandler his name.Doug Dempster, dean of the College of Fine Arts, said in a statement, “David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament (证明) to finishing well what was started, and stopped, even many years earlier. We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily. We’ re going to help him through his remaining course work.”4. Why did Carter stop studying in the university?A. He hurt an artist.B. He couldn’t afford his study.C. He got a strange disease.D. He had a hand injury.5. What was Chandler’s purpose in interviewing Carter?A. To do a project on homelessness.B. To know why he hung around UT.C. To make friends with a homeless person.D. To finish his homework on helping others.6. Which of the following words can best describe Chandler?A. Brave.B. Honest.C. Warm-hearted.D. Strong-minded.7. What can we learn from Dempster’s words in the statement?A. He encourages Carter to study hard.B. He supports students who never give up.C. He calls on other students to help Carter.D. He suggests other students learn from Carter.CWhen faced with the decision to get out of bed or have a few more minutes of sleep, which do you choose? Believe it or not, that decision could make a world of difference in the rest of your day.About 85 percent of Americans use an alarm clock to wake up in the mornings, according to sleep researcher Till Roennenber. And while there are no official numbers on snoozing (打盹), a quick survey of social media makes it clear that hitting the snooze button is a popular pastime.As to how the snooze button will affect your day, scientists have mixed opinions. Some scientists think people who hit the snooze button in the mornings are actually clever, creative and happy while some said that hitting the snooze button will ruin your life, or at the very least your day. "I feel that hitting the snooze button has got to be one of the worst things that ever happened to human sleep,” researcher Jonathan Horowitz said. "The chances of you ‘snoozing’ and actually experiencing a meaningful rest are close to zero.”According to some sleep experts, when hitting the snooze button,you are in fact confusing your body and mind, and throwing yourself into a deep state of being sleepy. The body needs some time to wake up, so, when returning to what will be a light sleep for a brief period of time, you are putting your body back into a sleep mode before waking it again. At that point your body won’t know what it wants, resulting in a sort of half awaken state.If you really want to take advantage of an alarm clock, the key is to form a healthy sleep cycle. Focus your efforts on getting enough sleep each night and waking up at the same time each day so that when your alarm goes off you feel rested.8. What can we infer about hitting the snooze button from Paragraph 2?A. People do it just for fun.B. It is a common practice.C. People take it seriously.D. It is a bit childish.9. What do some sleep experts think of hitting the snooze button?A. It is meaningful in the long term.B. It makes people become lazy.C. It brings us a sense of satisfaction.D. It affects our body and mind.10. What’s the author’s suggestion on getting the best out of alarms?A. Forming a good sleep habit.B. Trying to relax ourselves.C. Making use of willpower.D. Using an extra alarm.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Ways to keep refreshed in the morning.B. The snooze button and people's character.C. Should you rely on the snooze button?D. How to avoid the light sleep mode?DA storm hit Houston, Texas, on Tuesday. It brought heavy rains and rising flood-waters. By Tuesday night, some parts of the city had received 10 inches of rain. Police and firefighters helped people move to safe places. They also saved people from cars and buses that were stuck on roads.Certain areas around Houston were hit really hard. In just four hours, more than seven inches of rain fell in Sugar Land in the southwest of Houston. Cars could not pass through any of the areas main roadways. On Twitter, Sugar Land city officials asked people to get to high ground.Tuesday’s rain hit parts of Texas that Hurricane Harvey had already damaged almost two years ago. Hurricane Harvey in August, 2017 was the second most costly hurricane in UShistory. It caused $125 billion worth of damage in Texas. In the Houston area, 36 people died and about 150, 000 homes were flooded.A spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management spoke with the Houston Chronicle. The spokesman said that this week’s rain is “not in any way a Harvey-level event.”But the worst may not be over yet. People will have a break from the heavy rain on Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, the Texas Gulf Coast will continue to experience heavy rain later in the week. "Today should be our quietest over the next few days for rainfall,” sai d Don Oettinger, a National Weather Service meteorologist (气象学家).Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peia warned, “As there is too much water on the ground, these are perfect conditions for flash floods, so we hope people are careful of what they’re doing and e ncourage them to stay home. There’s no sense in putting yourself, firefighters or anybody in danger needlessly.”12. What are Paragraphs 1 and 2 mainly about?A. Flood damage in Houston.B. Flood prevention in Houston.C. Heavy floods hitting Houston.D. People fighting floods in Houston.13. What do we know about Hurricane Harvey?A. It caused no deaths or injuries.B. It did a lot of damage to Texas.C. It was less serious than this week’s rain.D. It was the biggest hurricane on record.14. What can we learn from the weather report of the National Weather Service?A. Fine days are coming.B. It will rain a little non-stop.C. A hurricane is unavoidable.D. Floods will continue.15.What did Samuel suggest local people do?A. Stay indoors.B. Join firefighters.C. Give up needless things.D.

ASeptember is one of the very best months to visit France.Not only will you get to enjoy plenty of sunshine and warm weather,but the tourist season is beginning to wind down—which means cheaper airfares,lower prices at hotels,and fewer crowds.If this is your first trip to France,here is some handy information to help you get started planning your vacation!Go Wine TastingSeptember is the beginning of the grape harvest season in France,meaning there are plenty of wine-related events and festivals around the country.So September is a great time to visit the vineyards (葡萄园) around the country and go wine tasting.The Bordeaux,Loire and Burgundy regions are all lovely and great places to visit vineyards.Besides that,going to the castles of the Loire region between visiting vineyards on such warm and sunny days is also very enjoyable.Take a Barge Cruise (游艇巡游)The temperatures are slightly lower,but plenty of sunshine makes for perfect conditions to enjoy a barge cruise on the canals of France.With such comfortable weather and beautiful scenery at this time of year,nothing equals hanging out on the deck of a barge.Visit the MuseumsMany museums in France have extended opening hours during the summer to accommodate the extra tourists and locals,and some museums also have extended opening hours into September.Wandering around the Louvre (卢浮宫) will take you into a wonder world,where you can enjoy world-famous art.Going out of the Louvre,you can walk to the modern and fashionable Champs Elysees to do some shopping.Besides the above,riding a bike through France’s villages is also a welcome activity for young visitors in September,So,don’t hesitate and start to p lan your September trip to France now.21.Which region should you go to if you want to visit both vineyards and castles? A.Bordeaux, B.Loire.C.Burgundy.D.Paris.22.According to the text,many French museums have extended opening hours in___.A.February.B.May C.July D.December 23.Which of the following can best describe France in September?A.Hot and quiet.B.Cool and noisy.C.Cold and noisy.D.Warm and quiet.BWhen we see a person in trouble,the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand.But what if we see an animal in trouble,does the same rule apply?This question was raised after a group of penguins were saved from all icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica.It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties.The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young.They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.The case has taken the international media by storm.Viewers watching this film sighed in relief.“ I’m so glad.I understand not taking action directly,but a helping hand isn’t bothering,right? ” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook.However,others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural.“You can’t have sunshine throughout your life.To have done anything else would only make matters worse” said the show’s creator David Attenborough,according to The Times.In this case,however,Mike Gunton,the executive producer of the series,said that this was a one-off (非经常的) situation “Ther e were no animals going to suffer by interfering.You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this…They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope.”he told the BBC.Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen,wildlife photographer for National Geographic.He told Metro,“If it’s ever a predator (捕食者) situation,no matter how gut-wrenching,you stay out of the way, even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”“There’s no rule book in those situations.You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you.”Will Lawson,the show’s director,told Daily Mail.24.What has led to a heated media discussion?A.The rescue of penguins from a gully.B.People’s various remarks on penguins.C.Some penguins’ suffer ings in a gully.D.Ways of filming the series Dynasties.25.Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference?A.David Attenborough.B.Will Lawson.C.Paul Nicklen.D.Kathryn Shaw.26.Which of the following best explains the word “gut-wrench ing” underlined in Para 6?A.Making one confused,B.Making one heartbroken.C.Putting one in danger.D.Putting one in place.27.What can be the best title for the text?A.Necessity of Lending a Hand to AnimalsB.Protect Animals From Dying OutC.Human Interference on Dangerous AnimalsD.Help Animals in Trouble or NotCToday’ s world is not an easy adjustment for young adults. A key skill set for success is persistence (毅力), characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers. Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence.BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years. And over time, thepersistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school.“There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers,” Padilla-Walker said. “This research also helps to prove that characteris tics such as persistence -- which can be taught -- are key to a child’s life success.”Researchers determined that dads need to practice an “authoritative” parenting style. Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian: rigid, demanding or controlling. Rather, an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics: children feel warmth and love from their father; responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed ;children are given an appropriate level of autonomy(自主权).In the study, about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting. Key finding is that over time, children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence, which leads to better outcomes in school.This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes. Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence, which is an avenue of future research.28. What is speci al about the BYU professors’ study?A. It centered on fathers’ role in parenting.B. It was based on a number of large families.C. It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles.D. It aimed to improve kids’ achievement in school.29. What would an authoritative father do when raising his children?A. Ignore their demands.B. Make decisions for them.C. Control their behaviors.D. Explain the rules to them.30. Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers?A. Single parents.B. Children aged from 11 to 14.C. Authoritarian fathers.D. Mothers in two-parent homes.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Three Characteristics of Authoritative FathersB. Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in FutureC. Children Tend to Learn Determination from FatherD. Family Relationship Influences School PerformanceDWhen you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装) enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria (海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made in to clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur ---unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species (物种). It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us." says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades,but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says,“To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them—I think that’s going to be a massive thing,at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She’s trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.32. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?A. To promote guilt-free fur.B. To expand the fashion market.C. To introduce a new brand.D. To celebrate a winter holiday.33. Why are scientists concerned about nutria?A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.B. Nutria are an endangered species.C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.D. Nutria are illegally hunted.34. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Boomed.B. Became mature.C. Remained stable.D. Crashed.35. What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?A. It’s formal.B. It’s risky.C. It’s harmful.D. It’s traditional.第二节7选5(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据下面短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Thus, dining out can be tricky. Though he loves to eat, he dislikes the loud noise during restaurant dining. So he has a solution: overpower all noise with a much louder noise of his own. Faced with a possibility of dining alone all the time, I decided to work on dining skills at a trendy new spot early one Tuesday night.To my delight, we arrived at an empty restaurant. So far, so good. Everything went well until two older and elegantly-dressed women entered. They were seated two tables away from us. I felt a sense of impending doom.The women began to chat, paying little notice to us. Sam happily took this as his cue(暗示) to start talking and drown them out. I leaned into Sam and asked for a quiet voice, but unfortunately Sam had left that voice at home.I glanced at the neighboring table, knowing we wouldn’t go unnoticed much longer. I quickly used Plan B: eat quickly and leave. Sam, who normally inhales food, suddenly embraced the concept of leisurely dining and refused to rush — all while chattering away endlessly.“SHUSH!” I said, a little annoyed. Sam responded by giggling loudly. “Be quiet!”Now the two women were watching us. The older of the two women leaned over. “Here it comes!” I thought. She completely surprised me when she said, “Honey, stop shushing that boy. He has something important to say. I have friends that talk way more than he does, and they aren’t nearly as interesting.”Then she asked Sam, “Now, boy, Don’t you listen to your mom. You talk as much as you want. I want to hear everything you have to say.” Turning to me, she added, “You have a delightful boy. Relax and enjoy your dinner—and don’t let him skip the chocolate cake. It’sI will always remember those two lovely ladies. Their kindness meant the world to a stressed-out mom. Wherever they are, we’re sending them lots of love and hopes for chocolate cake.4.What can we learn about the author and Sam from paragraph 1?A.Few like to have dinner with them.B.Sam suffers physically and mentally.C.The author has no idea how to dine out.D.Sam enjoys talking loudly when dining out.5.How did the author feel about their being noticed by the two women?A.Thrilled.B.Annoyed.C.Regretful.D.Embarrased. 6.What did one of the women suggest Sam do?A.Express himself freely.B.Follow his mom’s order.C.Listen to everything she said.D.Relax and enjoy the dinner.7.What could be the most suitable title for the passage?A.My Autistic Son.B.Chocolate Cake.C.Two Helping hands.D.The Pleasure of Eating.When it comes to work, workers, and jobs, much of the concern of the modern age boils down to the fear that we’re witnessing the final stage of the game, and that there will be nowhere for humans to withdraw as machines take over the last few tasks. The most recent example comes from the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Is there no area of human experience that can’t be replaced by AI? And if not, what is left for humans to do except the tasks involved in taking care of the machines?At the heart of this concern is our desire for good jobs — jobs that make the most of workers’ natural abilities and where the work provides the worker with motivation and work-life balance. More importantly, good jobs support workers in learning by doing — and, in so doing, deliver benefits on three levels: to the worker, who gains in personal development and job satisfaction; to the organization, which reforms as staff find new problems to solve and opportunities to pursue; and to the community as a whole, which harvests the economic benefits of hosting positive organizations and workers. This is what makes good jobs productive for the organization, as well as engaging and fulfilling for the worker.meaning that make a job a good job? Certainly, some have blamed technology for just such an outcome. Headlines today often express concern over technological innovation resulting in bad jobs for humans, or even the complete disappearance of certain professions. Some fear that further technology advancement in the workplace will result in jobs where employees are being asked to work in split times or for longer periods over more days.The problem here isn’t the technology; rather, it’s the way the technology is used — and, more than that, the way people think about using it.8.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to take care of the AI machines.B.The relations between workers and jobs.C.The human’s fears in the age of AI.D.Human experiences were replaced by AI.9.What jobs are supposed to be good according to the passage?A.Those that mainly have the economic benefits.B.The ones that offer chances to progress professionally.C.Those that make full use of workers’ motivation.D.The ones that don’t bring new problems to workers.10.How do news media respond to the development of AI?A.Negative.B.Supportive.C.Optimistic.D.Unknown. 11.What will the author probably talk about next?A.The future jobs humans will do.B.The application of AI in the future.C.The ways that humans do jobs.D.The proper attitude towards AI.The deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, and thousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robotMaintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmanned vehicles. But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. That can cost up to $100,000 per day, according to Pål Liljebäck, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which developed the robot. Liljebäck says that by “enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send back video and data. Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around $7 billion in 2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology. Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the Åsgard oil and gas field. It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by 2027. 12.What is one feature of Eelume?A.It can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging.B.It can dive as deep as 500 meters.C.It works mainly around the station.D.It works for 6 months on one charge.13.What is the problem with unmanned vehicles?A.They are too costly to maintain.B.They are hard to operate remotely.C.They require transportation to and from work.D.They have to work on a fully crewed ship all the time.14.What can be expected of Eelume in the future?A.It will require no further tests.B.It will be worth around $ 7 billion.C.It will be put on the market in 2027.D.It will face a lot of competitors.A.A snake robot is on its way for underwater tasks.B.Eelume is the new choice for constructing pipelines.C.Maintenance work on the ocean floor is a risky job.D.Unmanned vehicles marketing has seen strong growth.二、七选五So many people are feeling burnt out and “phone-overwhelmed.” Smartphones definitely aren’t “evil” or “bad”, and people of all ages are struggling to find a “balance”. What’s the solution? Actually you don’t necessarily need to flush your brand new iPhoneare a few simple steps that I suggest.1. Make a plan.If you want to earn a college degree, you select specific classes happening at specific times and you attend them. This keeps you on track, moving steadily towards your goal. You can apply that same logic to your smartphone usage. Choose specific times(say, 8 a. m. , 12 p. m. , and 4 p. m. ) when you intend to check in to read texts, social media updates, and so on, and then do your best to stick to the plan. 172. 18 If your phone is continually bleeping and pinging every-time “something happens”, it’s going to be tough for you to stay focused on whatever you’re trying to do—you’ll be tempted to check in and see what’s up! It may seem obvious to turn off those noisy notifications. Better yet, turn the volume on your phone down to zero or power down your phone completely. If you’re concerned that you might miss something important, you can create a “call filter” so that certain people’s calls come through even if your phone is on “silent”. That way you can rest easy, knowing that you will never miss something that is truly urgent.3. Make dinnertime a phone-free zone. For many couples and families, dinnertime is the only time of the day when everyone is gathered together in one place. Make dinner a special, sacred time. No phones at the table. 19 Even if you’re dining alone, set your laptop or phone aside and enjoy your meal without techie distractions.4. Ask yourself, “What am I desiring right now?”20 Check in with yourself and see what you want. Do you seek out company? Do you want some excitement ornon-phone-related way to give it to yourself. Take a walk or pop by a friend’s house just to say “hi”. Feeding your spirit in the “real world”, you may discover that the “phone world” just isn’t that appealing anymore.A.Listen to your phone call carefully.B.Enjoy the sound of silence to the fullest.C.If people get restless or bored, strike up an interesting conversation by playing a question game.D.No matter what kinds of feelings come up, taking some phone-free time is a valuable experience that can teach you a lot about yourself.E.Create phone-routines that help you to create the kind of day (and life) that you want.F.When you feel the urge to check your phone, and you don’t really “need” to, pause for a moment.G.But you can take specific steps to create healthier, more balanced relations with technology.三、完形填空Language studies traditionally have paid much attention to verbal and written language.are used independently. They may support or even contradict spoken messages. They areemotions, such as happiness, fear, and sadness, are expressed in a 31 nonverbal way throughout the world. There are, however, nonverbal differences across cultures that may be a source of 32 for foreigners. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression 33 .

Don’t forget about Aquaventure, the world’s largest open-air water park. With the average winter temperatures between the mid 60°F and hi gh 70°F, it’s a perfect place to escape the cold.Best for: Winter sports loversKnown as “Ski City” because of its position as the gateway to “the Greatest Snow on Earth” at four of the USA’s best ski resorts— Alta, Brighton, Snowbird, and Solitude — Salt Lake City welcomes winter sports lovers all around the world. In addition to wonderful skiing and snowboarding tracks, Utah Olympic Park offers an unforgettable experience that will make you feel like an Olympian in training.Best for: AdventurersIcelan d in winter is simply dreamy and temperatures aren’t as cool as you might think.

To escape the cold in winter, you can go to _______.A. Salt Lake CityB. OrlandoC. ReykjavikD. BrightonBYour body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment. The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw away the good habits and throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.4. Your body has close relations with the food you eat. It really means that _______.A. all kinds of food you eat can be made into your bodyB. your body is made up of the food you eatC. what you eat has great effects on your healthD. the more you eat, the fitter you will feel5.

In the modern western countries _______.A. people don’t want to pay more attention to their eatingB. people’s illnesses have little connection with bad eating habitsC. people throw everything into their stomachs without chewingD. people are too busy to keep their healthy eating habits7. From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy, we should _______.A. eat properlyB. only eat an apple a dayC. take as many vitamin pills as possibleD. throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefullyCI recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical achievements. A newspaper reporter interviewed him why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?He responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor — a real sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have mad e! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵),a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it.”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes.8. When the mother found the kitchen floor covered with milk, she _______.A. gave the boy a lecture instead of shouting at himB. praised the boy instead of punishing himC. felt satisfied with the boy’s trying to help himselfD. calmed down the boy and helped him find a way to clean the floor9. The child’s experience resulted in the following BUT _______.A. benefiting the boy all his lifeB. helping the boy be more creativeC. offering the boy a chance to grasp the bottleD. making the boy realize the mistake is of value10. According to the passage, the way the scientist’s mother used is _______.A. instructiveB. strictC. formalD. strange第二节(共5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。

By keeping an eye on these trends, investors can position themselves for success in the future.1.Which industry has been promoted by the continuous aging society?A.Technology.B.Healthcare.C.E-commerce.D.Education. 2.What is the direct reason for the increasing emphasis on renewable energy?A.Global climate change.B.The improvement of technology.C.The shortage of non-renewable resources.D.The globalization and industrial competition.3.What makes education a promising industry in the future?A.An increase in population.B.The demand for online shopping.C.The development of economy.D.Training for talents with particular skills.From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing back crested ibises (朱鹮) from the edge of extinction.With its typical red crest and face, as well as a long black mouth and snow-white feathers, the crested ibis is known as the “Oriental Gem” in China. They were once widespread in East Asia and Siberia until the 20th century when hunting, ecological damage, and increased human activities drove the birds to near extinction.In 1981, the entire species around the world was down to the seven crested ibises which were found only in Yangxian County, northwest China’s Shaanxi Province, and deep in the Qinling Mountains, making Qinling, a natural boundary between China’s north and south, the “Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) ” of the wild bird.Since 1981, the local government of Yangxian County has put forward four bans for the protection of the species, prohibiting activities including hunting in the birds' living areas, cutting down trees where they nest, using chemicals in their food-finding areas, and firing guns in their breeding (繁殖) areas. The Chinese government arranged special funds to protect the habitat of crested ibises, sealing off mountains to plant trees in the birds’ living areas. China started theartificial breeding of crested ibises in 1991 and has bred more than 400 birds in Shaanxi.Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested ibises in the world now, and about half of them live in Shaanxi. The bird’s habitat in China has risen from less than five square kilometres in 1981 to the current 15,000 km².“It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life but also the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”4.Why are the Qinling Mountains so important for crested ibises?A.They used to be the last habitat of crested ibises.B.They are where crested ibises were first found.C.They protect crested ibises from natural enemies.D.They are the only breeding area of crested ibises.5.What can we conclude from the fourth paragraph?A.It's legal to own hunting guns in Yangxian County.B.Crested ibises are unlikely to be bred artificially.C.The government plays a key role in saving crested ibises.D.Hunting has been the biggest threat to crested ibises.6.How does Zan Linsen feel about the conservation of crested ibises?A.Proud and ambitious.B.Relieved and happy.C.Sorry and regretful.D.Shocked and curious.7.Which could be a suitable title for the text?A.Artificial Breeding of Crested Ibises in ChinaB.Rare Animals in China: Crested IbisesC.Crested Ibises Found Again in the Qinling MountainsD.Endangered Crested Ibises Making a ComebackNot many people know the fact but dyeing textiles (染色纺织品) are a huge factor in damaging both human health and the environment. Scientists in Australia may have discovered a way to solve this problem by making changes to the cotton plant’s genes in order for it to naturallyproduce various coloured cotton.These scientists have been exploring the concept of trying gene-editing in order to change the colour of natural fibers found in the cotton plant. So far, their experiment has produced coloured cotton in a petri dish (培养皿). Scientists hope that this means they can perfect the process in order to grow the crops in the fields.Often the agriculture and fuel industries are closely examined for their influences on the environment, but the textile industry is not to be overlooked and certainly has things to feel guilty about. The textile industry contributes 10% of global carbon emissions, largely due to the rise of fast fashion, which sees 80 to 100 billion items of clothes produced annually.This creates a large amount of physical waste and also contributes to other extremely detrimental effects on the environment. Cotton is quite the thirsty crop, needing 2,700 liters of water to create only one cotton T-shirt. That places extra stress in regions that do not have a steady water supply available. And, textile dyes frequently end up in natural water systems, darkening the water and disturbing the biochemical balance.Fortunately, people’s desire to protect the environment has been growing over time and more and more people are turning to more sustainable fashion choices. Larger brands have an eye on these trends and are also promising to try to develop more water-free dyeing technologies. 8.How may scientists in Australia solve the problem caused by dyeing textiles?A.By dyeing the cotton before it is collected.B.By discovering natural plant-based textile fibers.C.By transforming the dyes into eco-friendly ones.D.By changing the cotton’s genes.9.What does the third paragraph intend to tell us?A.The rise of fast fashion is to blame for the environmental pollution.B.The environmental impact of the textile industry should be taken seriously.C.The clothing industry should be thoroughly examined.D.The carbon emissions from the textile industry are limited.10.What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Harmful.B.Short-term.C.Magical.D.Decisive. 11.What might contribute to the development of dyeing technologies?A.Clothing producers’ social responsibility.B.People’s consumption concepts.C.People’s awareness of environmental protection.D.Large brands’ desire to keep pace with fashion.People have traditionally been hired based primarily on the degree they earned, the job they had, or the people they knew. Skills were not a big part of the conversation in the hiring, or in the economy overall. That’s changing. Workers better understand the need to articulate (清晰地表达) the skills they have and the skills they want. And businesses, eager to fill roles in this historically tight labour market, have started to focus on whether people have the skills to get the job done. Skills come first.We need to take advantage of this momentum (势头). Skills-first hiring needs to become the new way to connect talent to opportunity. The World Economic Forum estimates we’ll need to reskill over one billion people by 2030.Employees consider opportunities to learn and grow as the primary driver of great work culture, yet our data shows only 52% of employees feel their manager encourages the use of work time to learn new skills. This major disconnect will start to impact employers as the skills-economy continues to grow. By caring about employees’ careers, investing in their skills development, and helping them transform into new roles, companies benefit too. When leaders offer growth opportunities through internal mobility, they keep their employees nearly twice as long as their peers.A focus on upskilling needs employers to change their concept of business management. Everyone from the top down needs to understand how critical ongoing learning and upskilling is, not only from an employee’s growth perspective (角度), but also for maintaining a company’s competitive edge. The organizations that keep their employees on top of new technologies are the ones that will see success in this new world of work.Never in the history of the labour market has been a clear or reliable way to understand whether people and jobs are matched in the most efficient way. The labour market has worked from some, but skills can change that. By harnessing (利用) new data and tools that make it easy for people and companies to identify talent based on skills, along with the access to building morediversified and equitable networks, we have the ability to help fill the most in demand jobs based on what a candidate can do. This will not only create greater equity in our economy, but also greater dynamism. It will create new levels of progress and prosperity.12.What does the text mainly discuss?A.A skills-first labour market is emerging.B.The skills needed for jobs have changed.C.There comes a marked shift in business demands.D.The labour market is becoming more competitive.13.How can employers benefit from skill training according to the text?A.It helps improve the stability of the workforce.B.It develops employers’ decision-making ability.C.It is helpful in building excellent corporate culture.D.It enhances employees’ sense of responsibility.14.What is a requirement for upskilling?A.A network running on the principle of equity.B.A mentality shift at the management level.C.The cooperation between labour and management.D.A system that encourages self-improvement.15.What is the purpose of the text?A.To introduce the development of the labour market.B.To share a unique view about the economy.C.To explain why the world of work needs to put skills first.D.To analyze the importance of skills to social progress.Are worms the heroes we didn’t know we needed? Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), you might think that worms are good for nothing except bait (诱饵) on the end of a fishing pole.16The British naturalist Charles Darwin said that no other animal has “played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organised creatures”. They have lived on Earth for 600 million years and have even survived five mass extinctions. 17Earthworms literally move the earth, and this is why farmers love them. As they travel, they aerate (使透气) the soil by loosening, mixing and oxygenating it. 18 They are effectively a small but very efficient plough (犁). But it’s not just earthworms that deserve praise.In 2022, a group of scientists at the Margarita Salas Centre for Biological Research isolated enzymes (酶) found in wax worm saliva (唾液) which are plastic-eating. 19 It’s hoped that by producing these enzymes on an industry-level scale, we will have a more environmentally friendly way to reduce plastic pollution.20 Bloodworms are small sea creatures which press themselves into the mud of the ocean floor. Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have been studying their jaws, which are made up of 10% copper proteins (铜蛋白) and are so strong that they last the worm’s entire five-year lifespan. Because of this research, engineers may start using the jaws as inspiration for the design and manufacture of materials like concrete.So, next time you see a worm, show it a little respect. They really are changing the world! A.So, what do worms do that is so great?B.Worms have a lifespan of a few months.C.And worms are even inspiring the building industry.D.It increases the ground’s capacity to hold and empty water.E.However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye.F.Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year.G.These can break down a very common plastic that normally breaks down over many years.二、完形填空Zora woke up early on Saturday morning, 21 for her long-awaited trip to the mall with her friends.

In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared forthe college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And i t’s not just“first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you” said one of them.I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.24. The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.A. she watched the scene with her daughterB. the scene was very exciting and interestingC. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lessonD. the scene showed a mother’s deep lov e for her children25. After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.A. realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughterB. often cried as she missed her daughter so muchC. failed to have a good sleep every nightD. didn’t get used to the change for a long time26. What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?A . Happiness. B. Sadness. C. Excitement. D. Anger.27. According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?A.To say good night to her daughter.B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.C.To wait for her daughter’s messages.D. To call her daughter any time.CA machine that takes sweat-laden (浸满汗水的) clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The machine makes the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified water.Since it has been brought into use, its creators say more than 1000 people have drunk others’ “sweat” in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.The device was built for the United Nations’ child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.The machine was designed and built by the engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show “Mekatronik”. He said th e key part of the sweat machine was a new water purification part developed by a company named HVR.“It uses a technique called membrane distillation (膜蒸馏),” he told the BBC. “We use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other things out. They have something similar to the International Space Station, but our machine is cheaper to build. The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is, but one person’s T-shirt typically produces 10ml, about a mouthfu l.”The device has been put on show at the Gothia Cup-the world’s largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations.“People haven’t produced as much sweat as we hoped – right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy,” Mattias Ronge said. “So we’ve equipped the machine with exercise bikes and volunteers are cycling like crazy. Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be produced in large numbers, since there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills.”28. Which of the following is the disadvantage of the sweat machine?A.The amount of water the machine produces is rather limited.B. It takes too long for the machine to produce water.C. It costs a large amount of money to build the machine.D. The water processed by the machine is not clean enough.29. UNICEF is mentioned in the text to ________.A. show how the sweat machine worksB. show the importance of the United NationsC. explain why the sweat machine was inventedD. tell us who invented the sweat machine30. What did Mattias Ronge think of the sweat machine?A. It could only be used in summer.B. It was not worth popularizing.C. It did not work at all.D. The water it produced tasted sweet.31. The text is written mainly to tell us that ______________.A. 780 million people in the world lack access to clean waterB. a machine which turns sweat into drinking water is inventedC. a better solution to purifying dirty water is discoveredD. the pill which turns dirty water into clean water is producedDYesterday night, over a dinner with my elder brother’s family, a topic of happiness came up. My wife, Marla, a psychologist, was sharing Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of “flow” with us. Marla explained that according to the research on flow, people are happiest when they are absorbed in a task that is just challenging enough for them to experience a sense of mastery(熟练).A few moments later my brother, Yuri, offered the following opinion: “The first and only, necessary and sufficient factor for happiness is to stop associating happiness with pleasure. The two — happiness and pleasure —have nothing to do with each other.” This morning, with my cup of coffee, I searched through a pile of books on my bedside table and—at the bottom—found a book by Bertrand Russell, I star ted reading but didn’t finish. In it, I found the following thought:“The human animal, like others, is adapted to a certain amount of struggle for life, and when 【…】his whims (突发奇想) 【are satisfied】 without effort, the mere absence of effort from his life removes an essential ingredient of happiness.”The conversation came full circle: people are happiest when they are in a state of flow ( Csikszentmihalyi’s language )…which is the effortful devotion in a moment…which has n othing to do with pleasure.Indeed, as Yuri insisted : happiness–as–pleasure is a myth; the association between happiness and pleasure is nothing but a semantic(语义的) habit; psychologically, the two—happiness and pleasure—are arguably different; and breaking up this association between pleasure and happiness might, in fact, be a powerfully first step in pursuit of happiness.As I look back on that exchange, I recall that there was an effort, a struggle to find a common understanding about this seemingly difficult idea—a struggle that made me happy.32. The author wrote this text mainly to_______.A. look back on the happy nightB. advise readers to read Bertrand RussellC. tell readers how to be happiestD. show different opinions on family gathering33. According to Marla, people feel happiest when they______.A. get what they want without effortB. master the happiness around themC. involve themselves in a challenging taskD. experience things that can bring pleasure34. What writing style is used by the author to explain happiness?A. Giving examples.B. Using quotes.C. Making comparisons.D. Offering arguments.35. The best title of the text may probably be______.A. The struggle for lifeB. Happiness as pleasureC. A topic over the dinnerD. The effort for happiness第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分50分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每题1分,满分20分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
