Rather than the standard working day of nine to five, employees are working more flexibly to meet their busy home lives. Advances in technology are ___31___ the very nature of the tasks and skills required in the workplace.To gain a full perspective of how the workplace is set to change over the next decade, employee benefits provider Unum UK ___32___ with The Future Laboratory to survey 3,000 workers across several industries. They also interviewed industry experts and business leaders on topics from artificial intelligence and robotics to the increase of flexible working and an ageing workforce.The result outlines some of the employment changes that businesses can expect to see over the next decade and predicts the ___33___ of two worker cultures which will dominate the workforce. They are the obligated and the self-fulfilled workers.“Obligated workers” refer to people with dependents and the sandwich generation, ___34___ raising children with caring for elderly parents. Therefore, they value a career ___35___ to life stages and events and financial security. Joel Defries, 33, father of one kid an d partner at London Vodka said, “A flexible employer will allow me to have a long paternity leave (陪产假) and to value my family just as much as I value my job.”Self-fulfilled workers are committed to life-long learning and acquiring new skills rather than ___36___ to an employer.

I want my work to be fluid so I can change it w hen I want and do whatever makes me happy at the time.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Early decision — you apply to one school, and admission is binding (有法律约束力的) — seems like a great choice for nervous applicants. Schools ___41___ a higher percentage of early-decision applicants, which arguably means that you have a better chan ce of being enrolled. And if you do, you’re done with the whole painful process by December. But most students and parents don’t realize that schools have hidden ___42___ foroffering early decision.Early decision, since it’s binding, allows schools to fi ll their classes with qualified students; it allows ___43___ committees to select the students that are in particular demand for their college and know those students will come. It also gives schools a higher yield rate (优秀学生率), which is often used as one of the ways to ___44___ college selectivity and popularity.The problem is that this process effectively ___45___ the window of time students have to make one of the most important decisions of their lives up to that point. Under ___46___ admissions, seniors have to choose which school to attend until May 1; early decision effectively steals six months from them, months that could be used to visit more schools, do more research, speak to current students and alumni (校友) and make a more ___47___ decision.For any given student in America, whatever their levels are, there are a number of schools that are a great ___48___. When students become too fixed on a particular school early in the admissions process, that fixation can lead to ___49___ severe disappointm ent if they don’t get in or, if they do, it is likely that they are now bound to go to a school that, given time for further ___50___, may not actually be right for them.Early decision offers a genuine admissions edge. That advantage goes largely to students who already have ___51___ advantages. The students who use early decision tend to be those who have received higher-quality college guidance, usually a result of coming from a more advantaged background. ___52___, there’s an argument against early deci sion, as students from lower-income families are far less likely to have the admissions know-how (招生诀窍) to ___53___ figure out the often confusingearly deadlines.Students who have done their research and are confident that there’s one school they would b e thrilled to get into should, under the current system, probably ___54___ under early decision. For students who haven’t yet done enough research, or who are still constantly changing their minds on favorite schools, the early-decision system needlessly and prematurely ___55___ the field of possibility just at a time when students should be opening themselves to a whole range of thrilling options.41. A. let in B. turn down C. make up D. give away42. A. dangers B. costs C. assumptions D. purposes43. A. admissions B. joint C. inquiry D. investigative44. A. detail B. measure C. achieve D. represent45. A. neglects B. provides C. shortens D. marks46. A. future B. regular C. random D. compulsory47. A. informed B. honoured C. imposed D. complicated48.

A. occupies B. encloses C. narrows D. exploresSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in thepassage you have just read.(A)One recent night, while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked. “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.” In other words, ideals —general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others — can often lead us to unreasonable ideas. It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people. We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America. The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes: Jewish people were “greedy,” Mexicans were “poorly educated,” and Asians were “good at math.” These labels were taught to us from a young age. They wormed their way into our belief systems, harming how we came to see others. It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true. The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination (歧视).You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people. Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials (千禧一代) being described as “monkish,” or “dad-fashion (复古作风)” which has given the “greasy middle-aged men” tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.It’s about time that we, as a society, walked away from generalizations and stereotypes. I leave you with the words ofMartin Luther King Jr. from his famous “I Have a Dream” speech: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual, you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.56. According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?A. By describing people’s personalities.B. By truly getting to know those around.C. By observing their noticeable features.D. By following Martin Luther King’s speech.57. According to the author, a culture of discrimination appears because ________.A. people live in places of various racesB. people are born with unreasonable ideasC. prejudices slightly influence people’s be lief systemD. people usually make judgments without thinking twice58. Examples of “millennials” and “dad-fashion” are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal ________.A. generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB. generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC. generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged ChineseD. generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry59. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A. the common prejudiceB. people’s expectat ion of themselvesC. the groundless worriesD. the famous speech of Martin Luther King(B)When you cross deep water driving too fast, you risk splashing water up into the air box and having it get sucked into the internal engine, which is more common than you think. There are a few steps you should take to clear the water out before you try to start it:1. First, drain the fuel tank, fuel lines and the oil. While it's draining, put a fan on the wiring and dry it out. Remove and clean the carburetor (化油器).2. Take the plugs out of the engine and turn it over to force any water out. Water will come out with the oil. Add oil to the engine and turn it over again, without the plug in. Let it sit for a while, then observe the oil to tell if there's any water in it (it will look like a white milky substance if there is water mixed with the oil). If it's there, drain it again and start over until there is little or no white showing in the oil.3. Now re-install the spark plug, add gas, then try to start the engine. You should have a can of ether (乙醚) handy just in case it's stubborn, but don't use too much. If it starts, let it run for a few minutes without making it work faster.4. After it runs for several minutes, shut it off, drain the oil and change the filter(过滤网). Run it again for a few minutes then shut it off and checks again for milky colored oil. If you have none, you should be good to go.5. If you cannot start the engine, you may have already ruined it and you will probably need to seek a professional to repair it, or, more likely, you'll have to replace it.60. According to the passage, a driver turns the engine over after oil is added to it so that he can _______.A. drain the oil and change the filter without any difficultyB. re-install the spark plug and get ready to start the car againC. make a milky substance which is the mixture of water and oilD. see whether there is any water in the engine by checking the oil61. The underlined word “stubborn” in paragraph 4 may probably means ________.A. reluctant to changeB. hard to switch onC. insufficient to burnD. unable to take in62. This passage may be most helpful to ________.A. a policeman who knows much about car accidentsB. a secretary who has just driven across a small pondC. a driver who is incapable of fixing the car by himselfD. a teacher who is to carry out her routine car maintenance(C)One of the features of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to constantly push into new territory. Without growth and innovation, businesses eventually fade away. Those with staying power, however, have mastered an often-overlooked factor that allows them to focus on the future clearly: empathy (共情). While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others —empathy in its purest form — is the force that moves businesses forward.Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept of a traditional workplace — competitive, the reality is that for business leaders to experience success, they need to not just see or hear the activity around them, but also relate to the people they serve.Some may think they want the results from doggedly (顽强地) pursuing their goals without much thought for other people. This attitude works for some, but at some point — often sooner rather than later — everyone needs to rely on their relationships and established personal and professional connections. These relationships are the product of taking an honest and dedicated interest in others and their businesses. Successful people do not operate alone; each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us toward our goals. True empathy combines understanding both the emotional and the logical rationale(根据) that goes into every decision.Effectively understanding empathy involves viewing it as each person’s connection to the people and marketplace that surround them. A biological principle known as co-evolution explains that the adaptation of an organism is caused by the change of a related object. Similarly, businesses and their leaders participate in co-evolution-type relationships. Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt, build on the strengths around them, and relate to their environment. When businesses fail, it is often because leaders have stopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations. Successful business leaders are receptive to disturbance and aware of what is going on in their organizations both internally and externally.To develop an effective workforce, we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are. This can be frustrating and uncomfortable, particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a better solution. A critical part of developing empathy, however, is learning to understand, respect and implement another individual’s point of view rather than forcing your own.63. In the author’s opinion, if a company wants to achieve success, it must ________.A. frequently develop in new areasB. always stay pure and powerfulC. concentrate on its future developmentD. value much thought for others64. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. empathy generally depends on logical reasonsB. supports from others help to achieve ambitionsC. competition rarely exists in traditional workplacesD. striving for goals on one’s own is the key to success65. Which of the following examples can best illustrate the co-evolution principle?A. Th e boss is too occupied to realize that his employees’ income is below the average.B. The head of the news agency offers little bonus to the journalists who work extra hours.C. The principal promises flexible working hours after the school moves to the countryside.D. The factory director insists on increasing the output despite the declining market demand.66. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Empathy and Business SuccessB. The Formation of EmpathyC. Empathy and AggressivenessD. The Importance of EmpathySection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. BAT wanted to take action.B. Those who gave more tended to gain less.C. The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention.D. By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others — not themselves.E. Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion i n today’s world.F. After all, self-care, good mental health, positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself.We need to do more to help the teachers who are exhausted and stressedTeaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing —and we still have the numbers… by a lot. ______67______”“Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” Bri ce-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT).______68______ So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising — and not. If you’ve been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work “always” or “often” stressful; 27 percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonderwe’re seeing more stories about the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. ______69______We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care, along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one.We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators. ______70______ And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place — be a good teacher.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Online Pharmacy (药店): A Foreseeable TrendOnline pharmacies may replace corner drugstores in the future, which would be of benefit to all of us. Sadly, current Federal Drug Administration (FDA) restrictions prevent many Americans from gaining access to the medicines they require online. Fortunately, online pharmacies offer these drugs and provide patients with more treatment options at lower prices. Those calling for the restrictions are wrong. Online pharmacies are crucial to numerous people.While some drugs sold online aren’t FDA-approved, customers shouldn’t be prevented from buying them. Many of the herbal remedy (草药) online pharmacies offer have been usedfor hundreds of years, especially in Asian countries, and they have strong safety records. Other medicines may come from foreign countries, but they aren’t harming the people who use them in their own countries. Take depression pills as an example. It has been used safely for many years in France and other European countries, yet it’s just now being tested in the U.S.Nowadays, just getting in to see a doctor seems to take forever, not to mention the time and money to get tests done and await the results. Thanks to the Internet, customers now know more about available medicines than ever before and are therefore able to take them without having to consult a doctor. The Internet, after all, is filled with information about all kinds of drugs. Much of it has even been written by doctors and pharmaceutical companies themselves.Another issue to consider is money. Health care costs in America are rising every year, and pharmaceutical companies are making billions. Online pharmacies typically sell their drugs at lower prices than hospital pharmacies and corner drugstores. Consumers shouldn’t be blamed for seeking cheaper alternatives and refusing to line the pockets of already wealthy companies and stores.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 这场因无视规则引发的事故值得我们深思。

Gardening changed how I see myself as a disabled woman. When I started gardening in 2018, I didn’t know anything about plants, let alone how to grow things we can eat. I thought gardening required a lot of 1 tasks. As I have a genetic (遗传的) condition that causes my bones to 2 easily, I didn’t believe I could complete them. The thought of taking care of plants in a wheelchair every day made me feel 3 . But just like how I gradually learnt everything else as a disabled person, I had to 4 how to garden my way.That first season, I visited my garden as much as I could. Noticing my interest in gardening, my neighbors in the community 5 offered me advice and support. Under their careful 6 , I managed to pull up the weeds and watered my plants on my own. Finally, I was so proud to eat the tomatoes I grew and even shared some with neighbors. They tasted like summertime.Gardening has 7 how I see other parts of my life. As a disabled woman, I fear being seen as a 8 and struggle to ask for the things I need. Gardening helped me normalize the fact that I have needs. I don’t think my plant is a heavy load because it needs more nutrition. I don’t 9 it for getting insects and not being able to fight against them. Gardening also helped me expand my social circle and grow close to people in our community.Over the years, gardening has made me feel more confident in every aspect of my life. I’m planting what I want to grow, and I have gained a lot of 10 from that.1. A. simple B. physical C. pleasant D. urgent2. A. change B. rest C. break D. move3.

ASome are attracted to museums by the art and the culture－but if that isn’t enough,there is always the strange!Cancún Underwater MuseumNo need to hold your breath to see this one.The Cancún Underwater Museum is,as the name suggests,underwater.More than500sculptures anchored in the ocean off Mexico are meant to illustrate the interplay of art and nature.Visitors can either admire the works through a glass-bottom boat or take a scuba diving tour.Omaka Aviation Heritage CentreWith great attention to detail,New Zealand built the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, which exhibits original aircraft from the First and Second World Wars.Some belong to film director Sir Peter Jackson,who helped create the set designs with his team.Anyone interested in the pioneers of aviation should pay a visit to the museum in Blenheim.Tenement MuseumAt New York’s Tenement Museum,visitors can gain an insight into what life was like for immigrants and the working class in the city from the1860s through to the1980s.The museum opened in1992and offers guided tours of two tenement buildings with recreated rooms,where costumed‘residents’enact the daily lives of the city’s newcomers and workers over the period－leaps and bounds from the money makers of Wall Street.Cupnoodles MuseumThe Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama,Japan,offers a treat:exhibits can be not only admired,but eaten.Visitors can work in the museum’s noodle workshop,refining creations with their favourite ingredients.While doing so,one can also learn the history of the ramen noodle, one of Japan’s most popular foods.1.What is special about the Cancún Underwater Museum?A.The strange name.B.The number of sculptures.C.Works about art and nature.D.Ways of visiting it.2.Which museum will attract visitors interested in hands-on activities?A.Cancún Underwater Museum.B.Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.C.Tenement Museum.D.Cupnoodles Museum.3.What do the four museums have in common?A.They are about art and history.B.They display aircraft from world wars.C.They have unusual features.D.They record immigrants’daily lives.BElon Musk is a businessman,inventor and engineer and is undoubtedly,one of the leading figures in the world of technology.Musk was born in Pretoria,South Africa in1971.At the age of12,he taught himself how to programme computers.He was accepted to university in the United States where he completed a degree in Arts.After this,he started a PhD in physics at Stanford University.However,he dropped out to pursue his interest in startups and technology.He founded an online payment site that eventually would become a global company.In 2001Musk began meeting with scientists to discuss the possibility of human habitation on Mars. Using his own fortune,Musk founded his company that designs rockets and space vehicles.It was the first privately owned company to do so.In2012,the rockets made by the company docked with the International Space Station.Musk also received contracts from NASA,thus making history by proving that the concept of commercial space exploration was both possible and affordable.Another one of Musk’s innovations is the electric car.Musk started a company and became the CEO in2008.The company is named after Nicolai Tesla,the Serbian-American inventor and physicist,who is best known for designing the AC electrical system.The cars made by Musk’s company are designed to end the dependence on fossil fuels and so reduce the negative effects of climate change and air pollution from cars.Why does Musk devote himself to such innovations?By creating opportunities to explore new planets,Musk believes that in the event of a major catastrophe on Earth,there would be the potential for the human race to continue elsewhere.On Earth,Musk’s inventions are designed to find renewable,environment-friendly solutions to meet the challenge of an ever-growing global population.4.What can we learn about Musk?A.He learnt computer programmes from his teacher at12.B.He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in physics.C.He received government support to found the space company.D.He named his company after a well-known scientist.5.According to the author,what event was historic in Musk’s career?A.Getting achievements in arts.B.Founding an online payment site.C.Receiving contracts

dream of becoming a leading figure.D.To make more profit and set up more companies.7.Which of the following best describes Musk?A.Gifted and humorous.B.Curious and honest.C.Generous and considerate.D.Creative and responsible.CThough they may not know it,about half a billion people depend on the ecosystems created and sustained by corals.And with climate change threatening coral’s survival,marine scientist Enric Sala had a goal that might have seemed impossible.“We wanted to get into a time machine,go back hundreds of years and actually see a coral reef like they used to be everywhere,before we started exploiting,polluting and killing them,”Sala said.The goal was made possible during an expedition Sala led in2009.The team traveled to a corner of the South Pacific Ocean,to see if the almost untouched reefs held any clues to bringing damaged reefs in other parts of the ocean back to health.“The bottom was covered by thriving coral.Vivid colors surrounded me－purples,reds, oranges,yellows and greens.It was so beautiful,”Sala said.His team presented their findings to officials in the island country of Kiribati.The government took steps to protect the waters from fishing.But between2015and2016,record8.What seemingly impossible goal does Sala have?cating the public to protect the ecosystems.B.Calling on people to actively respond to climate change.C.Going to old days when corals were in healthy condition.D.Leading an expedition to the South Pacific Ocean.9.What does the underlined word“This”in paragraph6refer to?A.The bad news.B.The second diving.C.The reef’s restoration.D.The cheerful mood.10.What can we infer about Caribbean from Sala’s words?A.There is abundant fish in its ocean.B.Algae lie thick over corals there.C.Global warming does little harm to its marine life.D.Corals come back to life thanks to government’s efforts.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Kiribati—A Country of BiodiversityB.A Scientist’s Love for DivingC.The Coral Reef Restored ItselfD.Ocean Warming Bothered GovernmentD“Practice makes perfect”is a very popular expression.However,can we take this saying literally?Many scientific studies have sought to either prove or disprove this idea.One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least10,000hours,they will reach “perfection”,or become an expert in their field.This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his2008best selling book,Outliers:The Story of Success.He mentioned the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates.Although they all seemed to have lots of natural talent,they also clearly put in over10,000hours of practice before they became successful.Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson,who argued that Gladwell misinterpreted his research.Firstly,Ericsson stated that10,000hours was an average figure.Some people needed far fewer than10,000hours,and others many more.More importantly,Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough;the type and quality of practice was also essential.He went on to explain the importance of“deliberate practice”,which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole.A more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26%of reaching an expert level.Many people say that natural talent has a large influence on becoming an expert.Another natural factor is physical superiority,which is especially evident in sports.IQ,personality,attitude,and starting age are decisive,too.But becoming an expert doesn’t equal instant success,which also relies on social and environmental factors.In conclusion,practice may not make perfect,but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement.Based on Ericsson’s research,here are some tips on how to practise effectively:be motivated;make specific and realistic goals;work outside your comfort zone;be consistent and persistent;and get plenty of rest!For those wanting to become an expert in something,remember that being motivated is key－enjoy what you do and follow your passions.12.How did Gladwell support his idea?A.By listing numbers.B.By using examples.C.By interviewing famous people.D.By mentioning other researchers.13.Which of the following may Ericsson disagree with?A.Practice alone is far from enough.B.10,000hours of practice leads to success.C.Practice hours vary from person to person.D.Deliberate practice is much more effective.14.What does paragraph4mainly talk about?A.The role of practice.B.Factors in creating experts.C.The importance of natural talent.D.Warnings for experts.15.What is the author’s attitude to the idea“Practice makes perfect”?A.Favorable.B.Intolerant.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Thus, humans have come up with a few designs of vehicles to move around under the ocean. But what if there was a better way to travel?Hilary Bart-Smith, an engineer at the University of Virginia, thinks a vehicle that travels like a manta ray (魔鬼鱼) would be able to operate for long periods at sea. Manta rays which can grow up to 29 feet long are among the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Different from animals and people pushing against water, manta rays swim by moving through the water with wing-like movements of their fins (鳍) . Efficiency means using less energy to move farther.Bart-Smith and other engineers at the University of Virginia had to find out what manta rays looked like on the inside to better understand how they move. They took X-rays to find out how a manta ray's fins are built. They found that a web of cartilage (软骨) stretches across each fin.Once the engineers knew how a manta ray's fin was constructed, they could build one of their own. They made a long row of metal struts with many hinges to imitate the manta ray's web of cartilage. The engineers put their design inside a flexible cover, shaped like a manta ray's fin. Then they tested it in the university swimming pool. They were happy to see that it swam just like a manta ray in the ocean.Engineers and scientists are still learning and experimenting with how to imitate these amazing animals. For now, engineers study their movements and learn from the most efficient swimmers in the ocean. Perhaps someday engineers will be able to build manta ray robots that are big enough to transport people.8．How do manta rays swim?A.By moving like birds.B.By swimming like humans.C.By swimming like other fishes.D.By pushing against water like animals. 9．What can we learn from the second and third paragraphs?A.Manta rays look like travel vehicles.B.Manta rays are the fastest swimmers.C.Manta rays can grow at least 29 feet long.D.Manta rays'fins consist of a web of cartilage.10．Why do the engineers study manta rays?A.To learn about their habits.B.To control manta ray robots.C.To protect marine creatures.D.To design undersea vehicles.11．What's the author's attitude towards the research?A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Doubtful.D.Objective.The most obvious dog fetish (迷恋) today is the longing for cuteness. Almost every day you can see adorable pictures of dogs and other animals that will make you smile and say, "How cute! "It is a cultural phenomenon that the media scholar James Meese calls the "cute economy' which exists primarily on social media, is user-generated, and is heavily dominated by pictures of animals, especially pets. The goal is to generate a positive response, probably followed by a tap on the screen to “like” and “share”. We can click through image after image of cute animals doing cute things, feeling a little boost of good cheer.The marketing researchers have identified some of the most common categories of cuteness in online pet content: animals doing silly things；animals of extreme size；animals with unusual looks；and animals behaving in ways that seem human-like. Dogs and other animals in the "cute economy" are often further humanized by being dressed in clothing and accessorized (装饰) with hats, jewellery, nail polish and fur dyed a rainbow of colors. Users who post successfully and with some strategies can make money by doing so. Thus, certain dogs have become cuteness celebrities, with millions of devoted followers and paid content from advertisers.Unfortunately, the price of the "cute economy" comes at a serious cost. The cutest and most popular breeds tend to be those with the most significant risk of health and behavioral problems. Cuteness is often coupled with their discomfort. People are drawn to the cuteness of dogs with extremely foreshortened skulls and extremely short legs and awkwardly long bodies, such as the French bulldog and the corgi.Actually, there are well-established health issues. We should treat the "cute economy' with caution, like resisting the commodification (商品化) of appearance by opting out of social media channels promoting the "cute economy". We can also choose not to "like" or"share" images of dogs whose cuteness is linked with discomfort. Although we are biologically attracted to dogs that are super cute, we should be mindful in our "impulses". 12．What is the key to the "cute economy" according to the text?A.Cute animals' attractive appearance.B.Taking pictures of different animals.C.Pet owners' liking adorable pictures.D.Posting cute animals' pictures on social media.13．Which kind of cuteness is most likely to be the online pet content?A.A normal-sized dog is eating bones.B.A white cat is quietly lying next to its owner.C.A monkey is attentively taking care of its baby.D.A parrot dressed in a suit is singing and dancing.14．What is the side effect of the "cute economy"?A.It will change the animals' nature.B.It may make the animals not so cute.C.It may cause health problems to the animals.D.It will result in a decline in animal population.15．What may be the best title for the text?A.Marketing Strategy-CutenessB.The Cute Economy and Its PriceC.Happiness from PetsD.Share Pictures or Not二、七选五16．Anyone experiences a failure occasionally. But how do you deal with it when it occurs? Blaming yourself makes no sense. Faced with a failure, try to find proper ways, which is the key to success.①______If you can't realize what the problem is and don't process failures clearly, you'll find yourself unable to sail along elegantly like a boat through the water ahead. So it is of great importance to spare some time to analyse the relevant causes of the failures.Practise self-acceptance and self-compassion (自我同情) . ②______ Self-acceptance does not mean believing that you are perfect. It means accepting yourself for who you really are. Self-compassion does not mean giving up on growth and self-improvement, but it means showing kindness to yourself. Practise them, decide what to do differently next time and move on.Reframe positively. Positive reframing requires viewing things in a new way that allows youto recognize and appreciate positive aspects of your situation. ③______ As a result, failures can be transformed into challenges and new possibilities to experience life more fully.Laugh it off. Laughing at yourself about a mistake you made is a great gift, which requires a shared understanding of humanity. The point is that once you can laugh at a failure, it is no longer terminal. Instead, you are ready to go ahead. ④______Of course, failures are actually not fun. ⑤______ Finally, you'll make fewer mistakes, experience fewer failures and naturally develop yourself into the being you are destined to become.A.Understand what has gone wrong.B.Save every minute to avoid failures.C.They are the basics of moving on from failures.D.If you can laugh it off, then you can forgive yourself.e the above ways, learn from failures and move forward.F.Similarly, if you can laugh at yourself, others will laugh at you.G.It helps you take advantage of opportunities rather than avoid problems.三、完形填空（15空）Fiona liked to sing at home.

He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River, after all! But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean, he couldn’t sit back.He started with cleanups along the river, something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019, Cash, together with a Canadian conservationist, Ella Galaski-Rossen, started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different countries, they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the U. S. and Canada,” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean,” Cash said.Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree, where he received a$5,000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his.,choice, and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation.“I want to travel the world, teach others, and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean-if you love it and what lives in it—you’ll want to protect it,” he said. “This is my fun, and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.”4. Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2?A. Fall asleep.B. Lose heart.C. Turn a blind eye.D. Lend a hand.5. What is the purpose of starting the Cleanup Kids?A. To recycle waste plastics.B. To make instructive videos.C. To spread marine knowledge.D. To appeal for ocean protection.6. Which of the following best describes Cash Daniels?A. Sympathetic and devoted.B. Initiative and talented.C. Ambitious and humorous.D. Determined and modest.7. What does Cash Daniels story imply?A. Passion fuels dreams.B. Great minds think alike.C. Helping others is of great fun.D. Actions speak louder than words.CTo reduce the carbon emissions from passenger jets and long-haul trucks, a vast volume of soy-based renewable fuel will be needed. To produce it, American farmers could ruin existing cornfields to clear space, plant millions of additional acres of soybeans and shut down all soybean exports. Researchers at startups and biotech giants alike have found ways to create a new kind of soybeans through genetic recombination that generates more oil.One of the startups, ZeaKal Inc., funded in part by seed giant Corteva Inc., plans to introduce its first batch of high-oil seeds for commercial planting in 2024. Scientists have tricked the plant into sustaining photosynthesis for longer with genetic recombination, ultimately producing more oil as well as more protein.Companies are racing to build more capacity to process soy, a critical component for expanding green fuelsupplies. Tax credits make companies in the transportation industry switch to fuel with lower carbon emission.S&P Global sees domestic demand for renewable biofuel reaching 4 billion gallons in 2030, up from around 2.7 billion this year. It projects that the use of sustainable aviation fuel will total 1.7 billion gallons annually by the end of the decade, compared with just 182 million gallons a year now.Despite the bullish predictions, the soy-based transportation fuel market is still a drop in the bucket for the fuel industry. And even if the new breed of high-oil seeds takes off, widespread adoption will take time. Farmers may be reluctant to become early adopters of a technology that hasn’t yet proven its benefits, especially if the oil content comes at the expense of existing genetic recombinations that improve disease or pest resistance.Chicken producer Perdue Farms Inc. has signed a deal with Zeakal, agreeing to pay farmers a higher price for harvested supplies of the new variety, which is good for chicken feed because of its higher protein levels. If large oil companies follow suit, the soybean market might never look the same. “We could have an opportunity for the oil component of soybeans to actually become more important in some markets than the protein aspect,” says Mike Dillon, vice president of ZeaKal, “That’s a very dramatic shift.”8. How did researchers plan to produce more oil?A. By planting more soybeans.B. By banning soybean exports.C. By fertilizing soybean fields.D. By engineering soybean genes.9. What does the author want to show by mentioning the figure in paragraph 3?A. The continuous use of the fuel.B. The growing demand for biofuel.C. The serious lack of green fuel supplies.D. The fierce competition between companies.10. Who can change the current biofuel market according to the last paragraph?A. Companies.B. Farmers.C. Scientists.D. Governments11. Which can be the best title of the text?A. Biofuel: A New Way to Cut Down Carbon EmissionsB. Oilier Soybeans: Possible Reliance of the Future FuelC. A Big Shift: From Conventional Soybeans to Altered OnesD. Genetic Modification: A Technology to Breed New SoybeansDWhenever I order food for delivery, I play a little game to guess how many sets of tableware(餐具)the restaurant will provide with my meal. Sometimes restaurants will throw in two, three or four sets for just one order. But I rarely need any tableware at all, and the waste goes into the trash or collects dust in a kitchen drawer.Researchers working with Chinese technology group Alibaba tried a simple approach to this problem. Instead of just wastefully doling out tableware, the company required food-delivery customers in some cities in China to pick how many sets of tableware they wanted to receive.The default (默认设置)was set at zero. The result, published today in the journal Science, was a 638% increase in the share of no-tableware orders. If applied across China, researchers found, the approach would save nearly 22 billion sets of plastic tableware. The study doesn’t cover carbon emissions, but it’s safe to say that the impact would be significant. It struck me as a useful reminder of the many low-hanging fruits across the economy that can cut waste, and emissions.Nudging its customers cost Alibaba nothing more than a few hours of software engineering time and the impact it brought was immense. The concept of nudging comes from the field of behavioral economics known as nudge theory. It suggests that a slight action can encourage good human behavior without the need for policies that limit choice or economic punishment that raises the cost of bad behavior. To nudge customers to eat better, for example, a restaurant might organize its menu by listing healthy options first and bury unhealthy ones at the bottom. More recently, some big companies like Google have also begun to use nudges to advance climate objectives.Behavioral economics broadly, and nudges more specifically, aren’t without controversy. Some might think it assigns consumers responsibility for addressing environmental challenges. But there is another way to look at it. In the absence of necessary policy—and policy is needed一companies can help encourage a widespread shift of consumer behavior.And all of that behavioral change can add up. The International Energy Agency found in 2021 that small behavioral changes in energy consumption such as walking instead of driving and adjusting the thermostat could in total shave off 4% of global emissions. The more that companies can do to facilitate such changes, the better.12. What did Alibaba do with tableware waste?A. It stopped restaurants from handing out tableware.B. It withdrew unused tableware from customers.C It updated the food -delivery device regularly..D. It allowed picking tableware at customers’ demand.13. What do the underlined words “low-hanging fruits” mean in paragraph 2?A. Easily accessible things.B. Fast increasing orders.C. Exceptionally tough choices.D. Widely accepted strategies.14. What can we learn about nudge theory from paragraph 3?A. It brings about economic loss.B. It results from consumption policies.C. It indicates small action changes behaviour.D. It implies bad behaviour impacts economy.15What is the main idea of the text?.A. Nudge theory affects behaviors.B. Good behaviors boost economy.C. Nudging helps build a greener world.D. Behavioral economics benefits customers.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThe Biggest National Park On ContinentsAmericaCovering nearly half of the world’s largest island, Northeast Greenland National Park is currently the globe’s single largest national park and biggest land-based protected area. It covers 972, 000 square kilometers. The vast Greenland: Ice Sheet makes up most of the park, but there’s also a long coastline that is home to musk oxen, polar bears and many other Arctic creatures.OceaniaCovering 36, 000 square kilometers, the Munga-Thirri-Simpson Desert National Park was set up in 2021 to protect the beautiful desert landscapes of far northern South Australia. It includes one of the world’s largest dune （沙丘） fields. As well as more than 150 bird species, the park provides home for many animals.AsiaFounded in 2021, China’s Sanjiangyuan National Park is now the largest in Asia, covering 190, 700 square kilometers of the snow-covered Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that provides the headwaters of theYangtze, Yellow and Lancang rivers. Rough and remote, the highlands harbor a range of rare, endangered animal species. The park also includes cultural sites.AfricaSome of the world’s highest and biggest sand dunes are the centerpiece of western Namibia’s Namib-Naukluft National Park, Africa’s largest at 49, 768 square kilometers. Easy to explore with your own, vehicle, the main park road leads to most dunes and forest. Hot air balloon flights offer a bird’s eye view of the whole park.

By riding hot air balloons.BOn March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules's Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.The farther you go below the ocean's surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5, 500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay.Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. "Who knows?" he said. "Maybe one day, one of them will come. back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.24. What is Jules's Undersea Lodge special for?A. Its convenience.B. Its reputation.C. Its locationD. Its luxuriousness.25. Why did Dr. Dituri decide to stay long in the hotel?A. To treat his brain injuries.B. To live longer and healthier.C. To deal with medical problems.D. To test one of his academic ideas.26. Which statement best describes Dr. Dituri's undersea life?A. He kept a daily routine almost as usual.B. He was busy with medical experiments.C. He led a dull life separated from the others.D. He set a world record of living 73 days underwater.27. What does Dr. Dituri wish young people to do?A. Communicate more with him.B. Explore the unknown bravely.C. Study the information of the project.D. Meet at the conference in Scotland.CEach year, more than 27 million. U. S. and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most of those buses run on diesel （柴油） fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take in. Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it. Why? Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.A U. S. government program started in 2012 offered schools' money spent on cleaner school buses but not all schools could get it. Five years later, emissions from buses in the winning districts fell. And a year after getting new buses, student attendance had improved in those districts. For an average district of 10, 000 students, about six more students attended 'school each day' in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class each day. And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses? They had an average of 45 more students in school each day.Those numbers may sound small, but 'they add up. And school attendance matters for student achievement. Almost 3 million U. S. kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If U. S. school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been 1. 3 million fewer student absences each year.There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However, the most-likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced "network connectivity" in the brain. In other studies, such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in schools without bus upgrades.Almost all U. S. school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income areas, in tribal areas and, in rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face. the most health risks from older buses.28. What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph?A. They have a short service life.B. They operate cost-effectively.C. They accommodate few passengers.D. They do much harm to school children.29. Why is the increase in school attendance small but important?A. It is a long accumulation.B. It is a winning condition.C. It is a measuring standard.D. It is a student achievement.30. How does the bus replacement bring better student attendance?A. By reducing the network connectivity.B. By bettering the health state of students.C. By improving student satisfaction with schools.D. By meeting students' demand for school bus drivers.31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The "network connectivity" in the brain.B. The great work on cleaner school buses.C. A U. S. government program for education.D: Better attendance due to new school buses.DFirst-year college students often are expected or required to live in dormitories. In the rest years, it's usually up to those students to decide whether to live on or off campus.But some schools don't provide an option and require four years of on-campus living for full-time students. Living on campus has been shown to increase retention（保留） and attendance rates among freshman and second-year students, according to a 2021 report. There are exceptions, however. At some colleges, students may be freed from the requirement if they are, for instance, commuters （通勤生）, fifth-year seniors, at least 23 years of age or legally married.Residential housing at colleges is not limited to shared rooms and bathrooms. Alternatives include flats, apartments, Greek houses or living-learning communities for students with shared interests. On-campus students also have access to services and resources such as residence life staff who can help if a housing issue arises. When students live in a community, they are forced to live with different people, learn more about themselves and about the others, and tell each other their stories.On the other hand, off-campus living provides students with more independence, as they are not constrained by school housing policies. Off-campus students gain more real-world experience in areas like paying their own bills, finding renter's insurance, cooking their own meals and negotiating or reviewing contracts. If students are choosing to live off campus, they should really think it through and talk to someone that lived. off campus. Do their homework and look at all the costs before they make that decision. Make sure, too, that they are choosing people that they can live with.At first glance, off-campus housing can appear less expensive. But the additional expenses outside of rent---like utilities, groceries, Internet access, cable and furniture---are often overlooked. To reduce off-campus costs, some students choose to overpack houses or apartments, sometimes with four or five people in a two-bedroom house. Unlike off-campus housing, the total cost of living on campus is typically all-inclusive, coveting rent, utilities, furniture, Wi-Fi and a meal plan.32. Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus?A. To keep them stay longer on campus for classes.B. To make sure all students can live in shared rooms.C. To make as much profit as possible for the colleges.D. To monitor all of their students as easily as possible.33. What should students do before living off campus?A. They should find someone to take care of them.B. They should fully develop the ability to live alone.C. They should learn all aspects of off-campus living.D. They should seek accommodation through an agent.34. What does the underlined word "overpack" in the last paragraph mean?A. Overlook.B. Overconsume.C. Overestimate.D. Overload.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Residential Housing At Different CollegesB. Choice Between Housing On Or Off CampusC. Accommodation Situation For College StudentsD. Different Living Experience On Or Off Campus第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Flying through sandstorms, monsoons, and terrible heat, she made several forced landings and landed in Australia 19 days later.

After 1936, the Olympies were sopped for the Second World War. Following the conclusion of the war, she could not qualify for the 1948 London Olympics.

It is impossible to break Nadia Comaneci's record as the youngest gymnast gold medalist.BLately, I’ve been traveling around the world. No longer am I waking up far away from my home, tired from a late night of writing down the stories I collected the day before. Things are different now, and each day my travels begin like this: 1 sit down at my dining table, usually early in the morning or late at night when nobody else is awake, and I listen to the radio.The radio station is always from somewhere that isn't here in New York, and most often it comes from a free-to-use website called Radio Garden. Move your mouse and maybe you will land in Bujumbura, Burundi; in Dibrugarh, India; or on the edge of the South Pacific. Seemingly no matter how large or small the broadcaster is, if it sends out a signal online, it can appear on the site and you can listen to it.During the pandemic, Radio Garden, which is now available as an app, at times attracted as many as 15 million monthly listeners. “We received many heartwarming emails from people stuck at home expressing their gratitude for the service,” said Jonathan Puckey, the site’s founder.Radio Garden began as a project of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, where designers and computer programmers overlaid (覆盖) station streams with their geographical locations on a 3-D map of the world. As a result, there is more than one way to transmit. Visiting a country like Colombia brought back memories of past trips - - romantic accordion music reminding me of bus rides on the rural roads.Where will you visit first on the Radio Garden globe? For me, thrilling as it is to drop in on Ouagadougou or Ulaanbaatar or the Azores, it’s all about personal history: I was born and raised in New York, but my family is from everywhere—Latin America, the Middle East, and places in between. My ancestors were merchants who traded in goods and cultures. Now, because of their wanderings, pieces of six languages still fly across our dinner tables. Thanks to Radio Garden, my family can cross planes of space and time without worry!4. What does the first paragraph focus on?A. The joys of radio travel.B. A scene of traveling by radio.C. A popular way of traveling.D. The difference in this travel.5. What do we know about Radio Garden?A. It is affordable.B. It is widely accepted.C. It is easy to maintain.D. It is based in New York.6. What does the author think is the greatest advantage of Radio Garden?A. Simplifying travel schedules.B. Making tourism popular again.C. Improving the traveling experience.D. Promoting the virtual reality travel.7. What does the last paragraph imply?A. Radio Garden is expanding quickly.B. Radio Garden increases global connections.C. Radio Garden benefits from global awareness.D. Radio Garden facilitates the development of tourism.CPeople do physical exercise as part of their healthy lifestyle to get stronger and healthier.There are three basic modes of physical exercise: flexibility exercise helps the human body in general or its part in particular to be able to reach farther and bend better; aerobic exercise helps the body work hard for a long time; anaerobic exercise makes the arms and legs stronger.It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also for your mind. According to researchers, gymnasts are more likely to be emotionally stable, football players the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest.The psychological study, which was carried out by experts, also revealed that sports can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Boxers, for example, are most likely to focus on material possessions in life. Meanwhile, runners tend to be outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering and cross-country races, are least concerned about other people and like doing things by themselves without interruption from others. Those who play chess are confident when they face challenges and trouble. Those who swim tend to be tidy and charitable. However, according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of helping others regardless of their choice of sports.The results. from this study also show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you,8. Which of the following sports belongs to flexibility exercise?A. Running.B. Swimming.C. Football.D. Gymnastics.9. What can we learn from the text?A. Walkers enjoy loneliness in their lives.B. Boxers tend to ignore wealth in life.C. Runners have great power of concentration.D. Chess players like challenging other people.10. Why does the author mention Mind Lab in Paragraph 4?A. To make a contrast.B. To draw a comparison.C. To place an emphasis.D. To give an example.11. What is the best title for the text?A. How can you choose suitable sports?B. What kind of sports can benefit you most?C. How can sports keep you mentally healthy?D. What does your choice of sports tell about you?DConsumers in the U.S. spend billions of dollars a year on gifts wrapping. Two colleagues and I wondered whether all that time and effort is actually worth it. So we conducted three experiments to explore the impact of gift wrapping.In the first experiment, we involved 180 students, who were given a gift—a coffee cup with the logo of one of two NBA basketball teams, the local Miami Heat or rival (竞争对手) Orlando Magic. Every participant was a fan of the Heat and they obviously didn't support the Magic. We gave half of the students a desirable gift, while the others received something they disliked. Finally, half of the gifts were wrapped neatly, while the rest looked sloppy (凌乱的).We found that those who received a sloppily wrapped gift liked their present significantly more than those who received a neatly wrapped gift—regardless of which cup they got.To understand why, we asked another set of students to report their expectations about either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. Results showed that expectations were significantly higher for the neatly wrapped gifts. However, receivers of the neatly wrapped gift reported that it failed to live up to their expectations, while those who got the sloppily wrapped gift said it surpassed (超过) their expectations.In our final experiment, we surveyed 261 adults and asked them to imagine receiving either a neatly or sloppily wrapped gift. This time we instructed half of them to imagine the gift was from a close friend, while the other half believed it came from an acquaintance (熟人). Then we revealed the gift and asked them to rate it.When it came from a close friend, receivers ended up liking the sloppily wrapped gift more. However, for the gift from an acquaintance, receivers preferred it when it was neatly wrapped. This occurs because these participants used the wrapping as a cue for how much the gift-giver values their relationship.So if you’re stressed over gift wrapping this holiday season, consider saving yourself effort and money by wrapping your friends’ gifts haphazardly (随意地). But for someone you don’t know quite as well, it’s probably worth it to show that you put in some effort to make it look good with all of the beautiful bows.12. What did the researchers find in the first experiment?A. A desirable gift is expected to be wrapped sloppily.B. Participants were more interested in neatly wrapped gifts.C. A soppily wrapped gift can make the receiver much happier.D. Participants responded the same to gifts with different wrappings.13. Why did the researchers carry out the second experiment?A. To further explain the result of the first experiment.B. To compare receivers’ expectations for the same gifs.C. To know why receivers have different expectations for gifs.D. To find out the impact of wrapping on receives’ expectations.14. What do neatly wrapped gifts show according to the third experiment?A. The gift giver is very skilled at wrapping gifts,B. The gift giver has a close relationship with the receiver.C. The gift giver attaches great importance to the relationship.D. The gift giver wants to become a close friend of the receiver.15. What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?A. To give examples.B. To make suggestions.C. To make comparisons.D. To present an argument.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIs it possible to build muscle and meanwhile lose fat?Please allow us to bring the following two facts to your attention first．Fact 1：Losing fat requires a caloric deficit(亏损)，which means consuming less calories than your body needs so that stored body fat is used for energy instead．Fact 2：Building muscle requires a caloric surplus(盈余)，which means consuming more calories than your body needs so that new muscle tissue can be created．And it’s this realization that leads those of us who want to build figure and lose fat ideally at the exact same time to wonder just how we’re supposed to make it happen?The 4-week Online Workout Course professionally designed by Super Fitness will perfectly resolve the conflict，making it possible for you to both build muscle and lose fat．Targeted groups：●Male and female willing to be athletic．You’re promised to：●Simply follow us along and keep your ears open to the tips and suggestions we keep giving while working out．The videos are follow-along．We’11 also immediately reply to any doubts or questions．●Be able to lose two pounds of fat per week and get super fit．●Save a lot of time by taking on-line course．No gym means no traffic!●Save a ton of money with 25％off at the Year End Promotion．You’re only required to：●Eagerness for a perfect figure．●Willingness to tolerate some discomfort．Contact Super Fitness by clicking here!1．What’s the purpose of mentioning the conflict of building muscle and losing fat?A．To bring out the course．B．To clear confusion．C．To stress importance．D．To warn the danger．2．How many pounds of fat in all does the course promise to lose? A．2．B．4．C．6．D．8．3．Where is the text 1ikely to be taken from?A．A newspaper．B．A website．C．A fitness book．D．A biology magazine．BYesterday，I drove my 23-year-old daughter to the nearby counseling center，to attempt once again to complete the treatment．I did my best to encourage and give her inspiring support as she was feeling anxious of the whole process．While we were waiting，just minutes before the center opened their door，a young girl the same age as my daughter，came in．She had a beautiful smile I remember，and spoke of her desire to make a difference for others like my daughter from a11 she learned through her past drug abuse．I felt that she was sincere in her desire．It had been two weeks since her stopping the use of drugs．My daughter was standing next to me and focused on doing her best to stay calm on the outside，while inside she was feeling quite anxious，so she barely noticed what this girl was saying．Yet，she did manage to open up and talk with her a bit about the noisy ceiling fan in the hall where we were waiting．Next Friday，it will be a new opportunity for my daughter to try once again，as well as the possibility of being there for this young girl，too．I continue the example ot sell-love for my daughter，strengthening this skill，while encouraging my daughter’s positive changes．I noticed yesterday，my daughter called her friends，“I am a strong woman!”This made me smile，as a sudden gift to me from when I had been speaking to her enthusiastically about how we are strong women，trying our best，and we overcome and win through our life challenges．Let her know I believe in her．While she was focused on the physical，in that moment，I think she was likely feeling strength in all ways，too．I hope so．4．What was the problem with the author’s daughter?A．She was seriously i11．B．She lost bravery to face life．C．She had to receive an operation．D．She was suffering from drugs．5．What did the author’s daughter talk about with the young girl?A．The room facility．B．The anxiety of treatment．C．The crowded waiting hall．D．The noisy patients around．6．What do we know about the author’s daughter from the last paragraph?A．She made friends with the girl．B．She was cured completely．C．She regained confidence．D．She respected her mother．7．What may be the best title for the text?A．We’re Enough，Waiting For ChallengesB．We’re The World，Winning The FutureC．We’re Strong Women，Trying Our BestD．We’re On The Hard Way，Lacking Self-LoveCAll animals—from humans to birds，worms and crocodiles—sleep，however，not all species sleep alike．Scientists have long puzzled over which aspects are truly fundamental．Now a new study on lizards(蜥蜴)suggests that sleep states once thought to occur only in mammals and birds have much older evolutionary origins．Scientists had long doubted that birds and mammals are the only vertebrates(脊椎动物)to experience rapid eye movement(REM)，a sleep state in which the body is mostly immobile but the brain is overworking．During REM sleep，the brain produces high-frequency waves of electrical activity and the eyes turn suddenly from time to time．In humans，REM is closely linked to dreaming．REM is a pattern of slow-wave sleep，a state in which brain activity weakens and the waves become more consistent．This slower state is widely thought to be important to memory formation and storage．“But scientists who looked for signs of REM and slow-wave sleep in reptiles(爬行动物) have had‘confusing’results，”says Gilles Laurent，a neuroscientist at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt，Germany．So he and his colleagues had planned to examine how the lizards—a common pet in Germany use visual information to chase treats．Using camera，the team found that the sleeping lizards’eyes twitched during the REM-like stage，just like other animals．They also found a very familiar pattern within the slower phase of the lizards’brain waves．Some scientists believe these waves help transform new information into memories by replaying past events quickly．Although more studies are still needed to determine whether the function of these brain wave patterns is the same across species，the results suggest that these REM and slow-wavesleep patterns could date all the way back to the common ancestor of reptiles，birds，and mammals．8．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．The origin of human dream．B．The definition and effect of REM．C．The features and course of memory．D．The advantages and disadvantages of REM．9．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word“twitched”in paragraph 3 ? A．opened wide B．moved quicklyC．stayed closed D．kept still10．How does the lizards’brain waves turn information into memories according to some scienfists?A．By increasing their frequency slowly．B．By changing their pattern occasionally．C．By playing back the past events quickly．D．By connecting visual information effectively．11．What can we infer from the 1ast paragraph?A．The function of the brain wave is the same．B．All the animals have the common ancestor．C．The sleep pattern of all the animals is the same．D．The study about sleep pattern has a long way to go．DA good way to look at failure straight in the face is by writing a failure resume(简历)or CV．Like social media，there，we usually only see our friends’“highlight part”．When we look at others’resumes，we get scared and think how ours doesn’t measure up．But even the most accomplished people have plenty of failure behind them—we just don’t see it．Stefan felt this deeply as a scientist，so she wrote a different CV which of course boasted (夸耀)about her good grades，PhD，and published papers．But the way she deals with her failure CV is a model of what we could a11 do．“My CV does not reflect my great academic efforts—it does not mention the exams I failed，my unsuccessful PhD or scholarship applications，or the papers never accepted for publication．During the interviews，I talk about the one project that worked，not about the many that failed，”writes Stefan in a column for ．Stefan suggests keeping a draft on which you log，casually but regularly，every unsuccessful application，refused grant proposal and rejected paper．And that’s the point：not to consider what we got wrong，but to use that information toboth look at failure and realize it’s really okay，and also to use our failures for another purpose：as learning tools．The point is to be real—with ourselves and about how the world works．Being real means taking an honest，critical，but also kind look at what we didn’t get right，and then doing our best to change what we can．Instead of focusing on how that failure makes you feel，take the time to step back and analyze the practical，operational reasons that you failed．So，prctice being okay with failure，and turning your failures into lessons learned．And yes，sometimes we have to learn those lessons more than once，letting go of what you can’t change．And keep moving forward to success．12．What does the underlined word“it”in the first paragraph refer to?A．Plenty of failure．B．A failure resume．C．Highlight part．D．Social media．13．What did Stefan intend to tell us in paragraph 3?A．A11 her failures in her career．B．Benefits she got from her failures．C．The content of her own resume．D．The difference between her resume and others’．14．What does Stefan advise us to do in our careers?A．Regard failures as part of our life．B．Keep a record of our failures．C．Value our achievements．D．Long for failures．15．Which of the following best describes the author’s opinion?A．No pains，no gains．B．A11 roads lead to Rome．C．Where there is a will，there is a way．D．Failure is the mother of success．第二节(共5小题；每小题2．5分，满分12．5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The world always makes way for the dreamerWhen I was nine years old, I lived in a small town. I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children’s magazine. I thought to myself I could do this, so I begged my mother to let me send for the kit (卡片盒). Two weeks later when the kit arrived, I took the cards and ran out of the house.

AI was ten when my father first sent me flowers. I had been taking ballet lessons for four months, and the school was giving its yearly performance. As a member of the beginners’chorus group, I was surprised to hear my name called out at the end of the show along with the leading dancers and to find my arms full of red roses.I can still feel myself standing on that stage, seeing my father’s big smiles.Those roses were the first of many bunches accompanying all the milestones in my life. Getting all those roses was wonderful, but they brought a sense of embarrassment. I enjoyed them, but I also felt they were too much for my small achievements.Not for my father. He did everything in a big way. Once, when mother told him I needed a new party dress, he brought home a dozen. His behavior often left us without money for other more important things. Sometimes I would be angry with him.Then came my 16th birthday. It was not a happy occasion. I was fat and had no boyfriend. And my well-meaning father furthered my suffering by giving me a party. As I entered the dining room, there on the table next to my cake was a huge bunch of flowers, bigger than any before.I wanted to hide. Now everyone would think my father had sent flowers because I had no boyfriend to do it. Sweet 16, and I felt like crying. But my best friend, Jenny, whispered, “Bo y, you’re lucky to have a father like that.”As the years passed, other occasions—birthdays, awards, graduations—were marked with Dad’s flowers. Those flowers symbolized his pride, and my success. As my fortunes grew, my father’s health became worse, but his gifts of flowers continued until he died. I covered his coffin with the largest, reddest roses I could find.Often during the dozen years since, I felt an urge to buy a big bunch to fill the living room, but I never did. I knew it would not be the same.Then one birthday, the doorbell rang. I was feeling blue because I was alone. My husband and my two daughters were away. My 10-year-old son, Tommy, had run out earlier with a “see you later”. So I was surprised to see Tommy at the door. “Forgotmy key,” he said. “Forgot your birthday too.” He pulled a bunch of roses from behind his back.“Oh, Tommy,” I cried. “I love flowers!”31.

As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations(语调) of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That’s how he found out I went to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up—the product of his sacrifice.And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?” Here I was, his daughter, wasting the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous)—to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school!” when I get unrequested advice. I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.38. Why did the author feel warm at the driver’s accent?A. The driver took her to the Boston airport.B.

It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. It is not customary to telephone someone every early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings often arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness(准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. Ifpeople are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business partner waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology.This way of treating time is quite different from that of several other cultures. This helps to explain the unfortunate experience of a certain agriculturist from the United States, assigned to duty in another country. After a long delay, the agriculturist was finally agreed an appointment with the Minister of Agriculture. Arriving a little before the appointed hour, the agriculturist waited. The hour came and passed. At this point he suggested to the secretary that perhaps the minister did not know he was waiting in the outer office. This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an Amer ican, that is the beginning of the “insult period”. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hour’s wait in an outer office. Yet in the country where this story took place, a forty-five-minute waiting period was not unusual.In the West, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate—“one thing at a time”. People who cannot plan events are not highly regarded. Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.42.
