Women work alongside men in the fields, in the factories, in the offices and then__44__home—not to put their feet up in front of the television like their husbands, but to set dinner on the table and__45__ their families.There is nothing women cannot__46__I won’t debate that women are superior to men or inferior to men.

To be a woman is to be blessed with the natural__47__, understanding, and supernatural love of a mother. To be a woman is to be simultaneously strong and soft in body. To be a woman is to have the possibility of being__48__ .There is nothing women cannot deal with. Women today need to realize that.

And if they set their minds on something and fully strive for it, the sky is the __50__ .Women were born tailored for__51__.It doesn’t matter what a woman’s particular talent is.

As（A）The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happens, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mother’s brother Bill. She taught me in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and prono unced it good. I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre—not just children’s theatre, but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humour, and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through her.Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cov er teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favourite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.1.Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth?A. She lent her some serious classics.B. She cultivated her taste for music.C. She discovered her talent for dancing.D. She introduced her to adult plays.2.What does Archy and Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?A. A book of great fun.B. A writer of high fame.C. A serious masterpiece.D. A heartbreaking play.3.Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ______.A. develop her capabilities for writingB. give her a chance to collect materialC. involve her in teenage social activitiesD. offer her a series of writing jobs4.We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ______.A. trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplinedB. gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potentialC. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils.D. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning（B）Home Laundry Automatic Dryer ProductFull Two Year Warranty(保修)Limited Five Year Warranty on Cabinet(机箱)Warranty Provides for:FIRST TWO YEARS Amana will repair or replace any faulty part free of charge.THIRD THRU FIFTH YEARS Amana will provide a free replacement part for any cabinet which proves faulty due to rustWarranty Limitations:Warranty begins at date of original purchase.Applies only to product used within the United States or in Canada if product is approved by Canadian Standards Association when shipped from factory.Products used on a commercial or rental basis are not covered by this warranty.Service must be performed by an Amana servicer.Adjustments covered during first year only.Owner’s Responsibilities:Provide sales receipt.Normal care and maintenance.Having the product reasonably accessible for service.Pay for service calls related to product installation or usage instructions.Pay for extra service costs, over normal service charges, if servicer is requested to perform service outside servicer’s normal business hours.Warranty Docs Not Cover It If:Product has damage due to product alteration, connection to an improper electrical supply, shipping and handling, accident, fire, floods, lightning or other conditions beyond the control of Amana.Product is improperly installed or applied.In no event shall Amana be responsible for consequential damages. ★★This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have others which vary from state to state.

Anything wrong about the Home Laundry Automatic Dryer Product can be in warranty.C. Servicer can use the Home Laundry Automatic Dryer Product freelyD. Service must be performed by an Amana servicer.(C)Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volu nteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work.Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified seve ral factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract.People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must.Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they trackvolunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepa re volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”.Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role matter ed by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.”Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”.65. People volunteer mainly out of ______ .A. academic requirementsB. social expectationsC. financial rewardsD. internal needs66. What can we learn from the Florida studyA. Follow-up studies should last for one year.B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared.C. Strategy training is a must in research.D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice.67. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their workA. Individual differences in role identity.B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts.C. Role identity as a volunteer.D. Practical advice from researchers.68. What is the best title of the passageA. How to Get People to VolunteerB. How to Study Volunteer BehaviorsC. Ho w to Keep Volunteers’ InterestD. How to Organize Volunteer Activities(D)1. While awareness and mastery of skills are important steps in any learning process, it is only when conscious skills are put to work that you will experience the involvement and excitement that accompany personal growth. The bicycle, the teenager learning to drive, the adult preparing to buy a house---all experience a good deal of anticipation, but the anticipation pales next to the excitement of first communicating verbally or riding a bicycle solo or taking that first drive or moving into that first home. In other words, social interaction is the highest degree of personal involvement, the logical peak experience towards what awareness and mastery lead.2. More than any other experience it is social interaction by which a person defines, expands, and develops his own personality. Therefore, the more involved you are, the more experiences you have, the greater will be the actualization of your personality. If, for example, you are an active person in your community, your personality will express this activity by its positive and outgoing nature. If, on the other hand, you are passive, merely allowing yourself to be acted upon without any involvement in the day-to-day activities of your community, you risk boredom and dullness.Much has been written about the “ mass man” and about the inability of the average citizen to affect his own destiny. Involved persons are not mass men or passive citizens.3. Involvement in your community means developing your community and yourself by direct and relevant social interaction. Since this interaction could involve you in any and all of the functions of your community, we suggest here that you select for your involvement activities which are most meaningful to you. You might consider your future career plans, hobbies, or educational interests as guides for your decision. For once you begin to be involved in your community and once you experience your own growth in self-awareness through community awareness, you may very well find social interaction a life-time project, regardless of where your community may be or how it may change.69. The underlined words “pales next to ” in the first paragraph most probably means ___.A. Is associated withB. Is most likely toC. Is next toD. Is less important than70. Which of the following is characteristic of an active person?A. Being involved in social interaction.B. Risking boredom and dullness.C. Allowing oneself to be acted upon.D. Thinking passively all the time.71. According to the author, involvement in a community should be____________.A. suggestiveB.SelectiveC. comprehensiveD. decisive72. What would the author most probably write in the paragraph to follow ?A.tell us the difference between active citizens and passive ones.B. define the nature of social interactionC. give us some advice on how to be involved in social interactionD. explain why awareness helps actualize one’s personalitySection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A woman gave up her fetus（胎儿）in Central China’s Hubei province after her 13-year-old daughter threatened to commit suicide.The event drew people’s attention to the single child mentality, which may be an obstacle as the country tries to relax the single-child policy. The woman, 44, had been pregnant for 13 weeks. Her daughter became unhappy after knowing that she was going to have sibling__73__when the ninth-grader cut her wrists with a razor blade in an attempted suicide, according to a report of the local Wuhan Evening News.__74__but the girl is not the only child in China showing jealousy of a younger sibling. Zhuang Zhuang(not his real name) was 16 when his younger brother was born last year. Since then he’s fallen behind in his classes. “They never cared about me again.” the teenager complained.“__75__so as to win attention from my parents.”The one-child policy wa s relaxed in 2013, in an attempt to address the country’s declining labor force and aging population.__76__including the most populated Henan, have allowed couples to have a second child if either parent is an only child. Beijing followed suit last December. Although 11 million couples have been granted a permit to have a second child, statistics from the NationalHealth and Family Planning Commission show only close to one million couples out of them filed birth applications by the end of last year. “Economic cost”, “time cost” and “one child is enough” were listed as top reasons for not having a second child, according to a survey by China Youth Daily. __77__out of concern for their first child.Xia Xueluan, a sociology professor at Peking University, believes the one-child policy, enacted more than three decades ago, created many young “emperors” and “empresses” in China. “Parents spoiled their children, so many kids tend to be self-centered without consideration for others,” he said.It’s easier for the m to raise one child.A majority of the Chinese provincial regions.B.Her anxiety reached its peak.C.I’m under great pressure to do well in academic performances.D.The y don’t want their child to be alone.E.Many parents give the third reason.F.The case may sound extreme.I.Translation 22% (4++4+4+5+5)一些学生常把老师与家长的话当耳旁风，经常表现不佳。

I burst into tears, for I had lost all my treasures.But I soon found that my ___7___ had only begun: I was lost! I could not tell which was east or west but wandered about here and there, crying and calling, though I knew that no one could ___8___ me. All at once I heard my nickname called, so I jumped up. It was my eldest brother. He hugged and kissed away all my tears, and then he told me what the rainbow really is: "It is only painted air, and does not ___9___ on the earth. But it tells us something more.

Recently, a new greeting has appeared in many Chinese cities, namely “Have you lost weight?”In recent years, food-delivery services have been growing and Chinese people can easily get access to foods from all over the world. But people are paying more and more attention to their health. On food-delivery platforms, meal replacement and food labeled with “low calories” and “light food” are becoming popular. More people are becoming familiar with various terms, such as “zero sugar” and “low-calorie Fast Diet plan.”“I used to eat a lot of unhealthy food, which brought me much trouble,” Chen Xin, a programmer in Hangzhou said. “Following instructions from my nutritionist, I can feel that my body is in good condition again.”As the quality of life for most has greatly improved over the past decades, most people no longer need to worry about whether they have enough food, but rather whether they have a healthy diet. According to statistics from global market research firm Euromonitor International, the global meal replacement market reached $66.16 billion in 2017, of which the Chinese market contributed about $8.45 billion. The number is expected to double in 2022.Despite healthier diets, many people believe, to lose weight, exercise is also of vital importance. Besides training in the gym, many people choose to take fitness equipment home. Over the past two years, the online consumption of fitness equipment has increased greatly, particularly among women who attachgreat importance to body management. Many people even like to run marathons. In China’s major cities, holding marathons has become a fashion. 1,828 marathons were held nationwide in 2019, with 7.12 million participants.According to Wang Hufeng, a professor at the Renmin University of China, health is a major issue of concern for the Chinese people and health is becoming a huge industry. “Health is an important indicator of a state’s soft power, and the improvement of overall health conditions can have a positive impact on economic development,” Wang said.1．What can we know about the change of people’s greeting?A．People become friendlier to others.B．People care less about their meals.C．People show greater concern on health.D．People prefer a more direct manner.2．The statistics in paragraph 4 indicate that .A．China has greater buying power in foodB．food trading in China is expected to grow in 2022C．Chinese people are more willing to spend on foodD．Chinese people are changing their food choice greatly3．What can we infer from Professor Wang?A．Health plays an important role in society.B．Food safety should be stressed in the future.C．China’s economy depends on health industry.D．Government should develop health care industry.4．What is the text mainly about?A．A food market study.B．A trend in lifestyle.C．Enthusiasm about exercise.D．Benefits of healthy diet.BTechnology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use? It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always suitable in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of mobile phones, iPods and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces havesigns hanging on their walls warning employees that “Mobile phone use is not permitted.”Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others.However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.Is there a cure for electronic addiction? Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.5．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A．Addiction to smart phones.B．The popularity of smart phones.C．Bad behaviors in public places.D．Changes brought by technology.6．What does the underlined phrase “at their wits’ end” in paragraph I probably mean?A．At a disadvantage.B．At a loss.C．Out of the way.D．Out of control.7．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The benefits of smart phones.B．The future trend of smart phones.C．Reasons for technology addiction.D．The negative impacts of smart phone addiction. 8．What advice does the author give in the text?A．Focus on other activities.B．Stay away from smart phones.C．Develop and improve self-control.D．Change the habits of smart phone use.CWhen no one else was able to save a drowning (溺水的) 34-year-old man, a boy weighing only 80 pounds quickly became his hero.11-year-old Adam was hanging out at the pool of his apartment building with his family when the man sank (下沉) to the bottom of the deep end, his arms spread out and his eyes wide from eight feet down in the water.Surprisingly, Adam was the only one at the pool who could swim at the time. Before his family had moved to St. Paul, Minnesota three years ago, his parents had never had the ability to take swimming lessons. Luckily, they believed that Adam should have a few swimming lessons. “Some survival skills are a must,” his father said.When trouble struck in the pool, however, Adam’s father had tried to help the man from a swim ring, but he couldn’t reach the man’s hand. Then, Adam jumped into the pool.Despite the man weighing almost 100 pounds heavier than the boy, Adam successfully managed to pull the man up to the surface and get him out of the pool. Though Adam’s uncle had never received CPR training, he started CPR on the man based on what he had seen in movies and television.A few minutes later, the man started to move his hands. Doctors then arrived and took the man to the hospital where he has since made a full recovery (恢复). The man stopped by the boy’s house later the very same week to thank him for saving his life.“It’s simply wonderful,” said Adam’s uncle. “If he had not been there, I don’t know. I’m sure it would not be a happy ending.” Adam’s father also says that he plans on taking swimming lessons with his son in the near future.9．Why was Adam sent to take swimming lessons?A．To build up his body.B．To save other people’s life.C．To keep a healthy weight.D．To keep himself safe in the water.10．What did his father do before Adam jumped into the pool?A．He sent for doctors.B．He called others for help.C．He asked Adam to save the man.D．He tried to save the man by himself.11．What happened to the man after he was pulled out of the pool?A．He thanked Adam.B．Doctors operated on him.C．He was sent to hospital at once.D．Adam’s uncle gave him first aid.12．Which word can best describe Adam?A．Brave.B．Polite.C．Clever.D．Proud.五、阅读表达阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

The young oranges are growing well in Florida’s weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings' expert care, will produce a good crop（收成）of oranges this year.How ever, Ed has to guard against Florida’s changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed’s entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed is prepared for the frost(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer(层) of ice around the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is taken in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.But Ed still faces difficulties. The trees must be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity(数量)of water must be used. Too much water can form a thicker layer of ice that will break the tree's branches(树枝). Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat, so Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.Computer technology may help Ed with some of these worries. With equipment(设备), air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer which can calculate(计算) when the temperature will drop below freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered. Ed finds looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and, his customers will have the benefits(利益) of computer—age oranges.（1）The passage is mainly about______.A . a farmer expert cares for his orange treesB . the different uses of computersC . growing oranges in Florida's changeable weatherD . different ways of frost protection（2）Ed tries to protect his crop by______.A . using a wind machine to drive away the cold airB . equipping his orange trees with a computerC . watering it at the proper timeD . picking his fruit at the first sign of frost（3）According to the passage, the computer technology______.A . removes the need for frost protectionB . prevents temperature from droppingC . tells farmers why outdoor temperatures changeD . helps the farmer get a better harvest23. （8分）阅读理解Do potatoes play a small role on your dinner table? If so, let's have a big change! Potatoes are becoming China's fourth staple food (主食) after rice, wheat and corn. Using potatoes as a staple can make our diets healthier and more balanced (均衡的).They are good for us in many ways.Potatoes are nutritious (有营养的). They are rich in vitamin C. A potato's vitamin C is as rich as 10 apples. Potatoes are also low in calories — they have just 75 percent of the amount of calories that wheat and corn have.Also, potatoes are easy to grow. People can grow them in almost every part of China. Potatoes don't need much water to grow. China is facing water shortage problems, so potatoes are a good choice.Many Chinese people think potatoes are like vegetable. They cook potatoes along with other ingredients (材料). But as a staple, potatoes can be cooked differently. Scientists have found ways to make potato flour, noodles and other staple food, just like how we use rice or wheat.（1）What does the phrase "a big change" in Paragraph 1 mean?A .

Just one kilogram of gel can absorb up to six liters of water in a dry climate. For those living in a climate with relative humidity(潮湿), one kilogram of gel can collect up to 13 liters of water a day. As the gel is so inexpensive and easy to make, it may offer a way of providing drinking water to countries with water shortages.Previously, researchers have harvested fresh water from fog and dew, but that only serves areas with high humidity. Other attempts at pulling water from desert air consume lots of energy and do not produce much. In fact, this gel is a big improvement from previous water harvesting technologies. The maximum water harvested has been 5.87 liters in places with relative humidity. This new gel doubles this amount, uses no energy and is simple to operate and it can be molded into a shape or size that best suits the user.“This new work is about practical solutions that people can use to get water in the hottest, driest places on Earth,” said Guihua Yu, professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering. “This could allow millions of people without consistent access to drinking water to have simple, water generating devices(取水装置)at home that they can easily operate.”“This is not something you need an advanced degree to use,” the paper’s lead author, Youhong “Nancy” Guo said. “It’s straightforward enough that anyone can make it at home if they have the materials.” Scientists are planning on making a thicker gel that will increase the production, making this technology a practicable solution to drought.1．What do we know about the gel film from paragraph 2?A．It can increase the humidity of the air.B．It can harvest drinking water from the air.C．It has been widely applied in desert areas.D．It costs lots of money and energy to produce.2．What is Guihua Yu’s attitude towards the new water-harvesting method?A．Indifferent.B．Skeptical.C．Disapproving.D．Hopeful.3．What does the underlined word “straightforward” in last paragraph mean?A．easy.B．straight.C．frank .D．cheap4．What will scientists plan to do next?A．Develop a thicker gel.B．Produce the gel on a large scale.C．Raise money for further research.D．Teach people to make the gel at home.BFor late 19th-century North Americans and Europeans, a display of tableware (餐具)could reveal much about someone’s social position, as the wealthy took great care to get different kinds of forks for everything. Before the 18th century, people of all classes usually ate with a knife and a spoon.The fork’s path to the table was hard-won and slow. In ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, forks were used for slicing food into pieces or lifting meat from a pot or fire.Following a reduction in size, the fork appeared to have entered dining areas in the courts of the Middle East and Byzantine Empire by the eighth and ninth centuries, and became common among wealthy families there by the tenth century. Early in the 11th century, it appeared in various pieces of European art. In the late 11th century, St.Peter Damian from Ostia wrote about a Byzantine princess who used forks and regarded her dying of a disease as punishment for such “luxury”.The fork’s slow conquest of Europe was carried out from Italy. Motivated by the same concerns for hygiene(卫生)，forks were bought by wealthy Britons，inspired by Queen Victoria, who regarded fork use as a sign of good manners.The fork’s introduction to North America dates back to 1633, when John Winthrop, a founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was gifted a set of forks. The Industrial Revolution strengthened the fork’s presence on dining room tables as production of flatware became less expensive. Writing in 1896 inSocial Eriquere，Maud C．Cooke declared the fork had finally conquered the knife in America and “any attempt to give the knife importance at table is looked upon as an offense(冒犯)against good taste.”5．What can we learn about forks from paragraph1?A．They were used improperly in the 18th century.B．They had many different types in the 19th century.C．They were popular in Europe before the 18th century.D．They led to North American’s rise in social position.6．What was a function of forks in ancient Egypt?A．To eat food.B．To decorate tables.C．To cut food.D．To create works of art.7．Who was against the use of forks?A．St.Peter Damian.B．Thomas Coryate.C．Queen Victoria D．Maud C．Cooke.8．What marked the beginning of the fork’s introduction to North America?A．The appearance of flatwareB．The start of the Industrial Revolution.C．John Winthrop receiving forks as presents.D．Maud C．Cooke writing Social Etiquette.CSome people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality. But when we research it, happiness actually raises every single business and educational outcome for the brain. How did we miss this? Why do we have these social misunderstandings about happiness? Because we assumed you were average. When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is.Many people think happiness is genetic. That’s only half the story, because the average person does not fight their genes. When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers -- people who are above average for a positive aspect like optimism or intelligence --a wildly different picture appears. Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.Scientifically, happiness is a choice. It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote its limited resources as you process the world. If you scan for the negative first, your brain really has no resources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded(嵌入) in your work. But if you scan the world for the positive, you start to acquire an amazing advantage.I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on “Happiness Leads to Profits”. Based on my article called “Positive Intelligence” and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I summarized our researched conclusion: the single greatest advantage in the modern economy is a happy and busy workforce.A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business and educational outcome: increasing sales by 37%, productivity by 31%, and accuracy on tasks by 19%, as well as a number of health and quality-of-life improvements.9．The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A．the fact that people are happyB．the connection between happiness and educational outcomeC．the fact that people often misunderstand happinessD．the fact that most people are average10．What can we learn from the passage?A．Scientists are only interested in what the average is.B．You can choose to be happy or not.C．The average are not happy at all.D．Our decisions and habits have nothing to do with happiness.11．Why does the writer mention his articles and research?A．To advertise himself.B．To arouse the readers’ interest.C．To support his point about happiness.D．To attract the readers to read his articles.12．What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?A．To describe the misunderstandings about happiness.B．To show people the importance of happiness.C．To make the point of what business and educational outcome lies in.D．To make the point that happiness promotes business and educational outcome.DHave you ever yelled at your computer because it wasn’t working? Your computer couldn’t “yell” back -until now. AI researchers are now working on computers that can argue and perhaps even win debates with humans.IBM scientists published a paper in Nature on March 17 about their new AI system - Project Debater. It can debate with people independently in front of live audiences. After listening to arguments from its opponent (对手), the system can search around 400 million online articles in less than five minutes. It looks for ideas that can support its own argument.Testing on the system began in 2019 when it debated with Harish Natarajan, a professional debater who holds the world record for most debate competition victories. The debate topic was whether or not preschool should be subsidized(给. . . . . 补助), and the AI system argued in favor of this idea. Although the AI lost the debate in the end based on the audience vote, the audience said it did very well. Interestingly, 58 percent of the audience said that Project Debater increased their knowledge about the topic, while only 20 percent said the same about Natarajan. Also, Project Debater has shown strength at making impressive and logical opening statements in the debate, according to Scientific American.After competing with various human debaters, the AI system’s overall performance remainsinferior(逊色的), “fully capable of sounding awkward during an argument, ” noted Scientific American.In other words, the back-and-forth arguments in the AI system’s debates don’t sound like a real human conversation. “On stage, Project Debater is far from perfect, and its missteps (过失) reveal just how difficult and how human argumentation and debate are, ” said computer scientist Chris Reed of the University of Dundee in the UK.Humans and technology have been facing off for decades. In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue became the first computer to defeat a reigning(卫冕的)chess champion, besting titan (巨人)Garry Kasparov in a six-game match. So after two decades, have IBM’s researchers just reproduced a “Deep Blue” to debate? It’s much more than that, the researchers noted.

Overall, it was a group of well-class families, with married parents both living in the home.When the children were 2, researchers videotaped them at home in free-play sessions with both parents, 2 all of their speech. The study will appear in the November issue of The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology.The scientists measured the 3 number of utterance (话语) of the parents, the number of different words they used, the complexity of their sentences and other 4 of their speech. On average, fathers spoke less than mothers did, but they did not differ in the length of utterances or proportion of questions asked.Finally, the researchers 5 the children's speech at age 3, using a standardized language test. The only predictors of high scores on the test were the mother's level of education, the 6 of child care and the number of different words the father used.The researchers are 7 why the father's speech, and not the mother's, had an effect. "It's well 8 that the mother's language does have an impact," said Nadya Pancsofar, the lead author of the study. It could be that the high-functioning mothers in the study had 9 had a strong influence on their children's speech development, Ms. Pancsofar said, "or it may be that mothers are 10 in a way we didn't measure in the study."二、完形填空Our Future HomesWhat kinds of homes will we live 1 the future?

Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone.At Mother’s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask,“Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.”In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can’t find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.Some women go to Mother’s Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don’t cook, they don’t clean, they don’t look after their children and husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother’s Camp.1．From this passage we can see in the United States.A. women want to work outside the homeB. working wives do most of the houseworkC. husbands do as much housework as their wivesD. women do not like to stay at home with their families2．At Mother’s Camp, women can’t .A. watch TVB. read newspapersC. swim in the lakeD. bring their husbands and children3．Why would some mothers like to be alone? Because .A. they don’t like their husbands and childrenB. they have to work full-timeC. they are too busy to relax themselvesD. they want a new life4．______________ is one of the biggest troubles for working wives in the United States.A. HouseworkB. Working outside the homeC. When to take a vacationD. Looking after their children5．What’s the best title for this passage?A. Busy Working MothersB. The US familyC. Mothers Relax Away from HomeD. Mothers in the USBMore and more, the operations of our business, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing, but even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security st aff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.6.It can be concluded from the passage that .A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB. computer crimes are the one of most serious problem in the operation of financial institutionsC. computer criminals can escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD. people commit computer crimes at the request of their company7.It is implied in the third paragraph that .A. many more computer crimes go undetected than are discoveredB. the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck8.Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B. Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D. Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes.9. The underlying reason for the computer criminals to get recommendations he needs is that .A. they have skills formidably difficult for others to masterB. the employers are afraid that they would take avenge if punishedC. the employers are much afraid of bringing the public into disbelief towards them through the criminals words in open courtD. those who commit crimes do not mean bad10.What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A. With bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B. They will be denied access to confidential records.C. They may walk away and easily find another job.D. They must leave the country or go to jail.CTeenagers will be told to "stand up for their elders" on public transport — or risk losing their right to free travel.London Mayor Boris Johnson will declare plans today to make youngsters sign a “courtesy pledge" to promise to behave in a respectful manner when travelling in the capital. The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly, pregnant and disabled; keep from using offensive or threatening language; and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff.Those who refuse, or are caught behaving in a loutish manner, will have their free travel passes removed. The plan — a key part of Mr. Johnson's re-election bid— will initially affect the 400,000 ll-to-15-year-olds in London who qualify for free travel cards, but Tory sources believe the idea could be used across the country.A Conservative insider said: "The plan corresponds perfectly with the push to create a Big Society. It is about changing culture and expectations around behavior to improve the atmosphere on buses and trains for everyone."Speaking before today's launch, Mr. Johnson said he was determined to deal with the anti-social behavior of a "minority of youngsters" on public transport. "When I was a boy, I was taught to stand up for those less able to, "he said. "Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel, which is paid for by Londoners, but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility. Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away, and will have to earn that right bach ."Teenagers found guilty of a serious violation of the new behavior rules will lose their travel passes, and will have to carry out unpaid community work to earn them back.Mr. Johnson is also introducing a "two strikes and you're out" policy to deal with repeat offenders, under which those committing a second serious violation of the rules will lose their travel rights permanently.11．Which of the following is NOT the content of the "courtesy pledge"?A.Teenagers should give up their seats to the old.B.Teenagers shouldn't talk with strangers in public.C.Teenagers mustn't use aggressive language in public.D.Teenagers must be polite to people on public transport.12．What does the underlined word "loutish" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?A. rudeB. stupidC. politeD.calm13．According to Mr Johnson,____________.A.youngsters should know duty comes with benefitB.youngsters shouldn't use the privilege of free travelC.anyone shouldn't make money with the privilegeD.youngsters should do some unpaid community work14．The worst punishment teenagers can face is____________.A. to sign an agreementB. to work in the communityC. to be finedD. to lose their travel passes forever15．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.London Mayor Boris Johnson is a great personB.The plan corresponds perfectly with the Big SocietyC.Be polite and stand up for your elders or lose free travelD.The "courtesy pledge” has been used across the countryDDesegregation of higher education has produced significant improvements in education for all Americans. The opening up of segregated colleges and universities to students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds came about only as the result of many forms of prolonged struggle in the courts, in the streets, and on campuses.The efforts to open up higher educational opportunities for blacks in historically white institutions also led to expanded opportunities for lower- and middle-class white students, esp ecially at institutions that adopted “open admissions” policies of accepting all high school graduates. Between 1960 and 1981, while the number of black students between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four enrolled in college increased from 134,000 to over 750,000, the number of white students in the same age group grew from just over 2 million to over 6.5 million.In 1960 more than one-half of blacks attending colleges were enrolled at historically black institutions. By 1981 that percentage had declined to just 18 per cent. Most of the blacks enrolled in traditionally white institutions, however, were at two-year community colleges or at four-year public colleges that were becoming or had already become predominantly black.Desegregation of higher education produced difficult problems for historically black institutions that had always struggled under great hardship to provide higher education for blacks when blacks had been barred from white institutions. Historically black institutions, however, have continued to produce a high percentage of the most educationally and professionally successful blacks in the United States. Meanwhile, blacks in predominantly white institutions have achieved notable progress, but they have also encountered various problems.College completion rates for young blacks have increased substantially, but they are only about one-half the rate for young whites. In 1981, for example, 11.5 percent of blacks aged twenty-five to twenty-nine and 21.3 percent of whites in that age group had completed college.Blacks continue to be substantially underrepresented in graduate and professional schools inthe United States. During the early 1980s blacks comprised about 6 percent of students in graduate school and medical school and about 4 percent of all law school students. Blacks also received about 4 percent of all doctoral degrees, but over half of these degrees were conferred in one discipline—education. In general, since the cry of “reverse discrimination” wa s raised during the middle of the 1970s, black progress in higher education has been slowed and perhaps even reversed.16.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Desegregation of higher education produced many difficulties for historically black institutions.B. The opening up of higher educational opportunities for blacks led to expanded opportunities for white students too.C. Blacks have been historically repressed in graduate and professional schools in the United States.D. Desegregation of higher education has brought more higher educational opportunities for black and white students alike.17.What can be inferred about the opening up of segregated colleges and universities?A. It came about as the result of a surge in the number of students enrolled in higher institutions.B. It came about as the result of time-long resistance against racial discrimination against blacks.C. It came about when the cry of “reverse discrimination” was raised.D. It came about when efforts to expand educational opportunities for lower- and middle-class black people were intensified.18.Which of the following is NOT one of the consequences of the opening up of segregated colleges and universities?A. Black students were substantially underrepresented in graduate and professional schools in the United States.B. It brought a significant increase in the number of white students.C. It created thorny problems for historically black institutions.D. The number of black students between eighteen to twenty-four years old enrolled in college greatly increased.19. After the desegregation of higher education black students are still unlikely to .A. get enrolled in traditionally white collegesB. get enrolled in traditionally black institutionsC. complete collegeD. get a Doctor’s Degree in science20.Which of the following is true about historically black institutions?A. The students in historically black institutions are no longer predominantly black after the opening up of segregated institutions.B. They created many problems for their students.C. They achieved notable progress even though they were under great hardship.D. The number of historically black institutions dropped in the 1960s and 1970s.四、翻译When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill（风钻）outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to theworkmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they would not take him seriously. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen. He threatened to remove them by force. One of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being taken to the station. Permission was granted. Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax.2015上大自招英语卷答案三、选词填空1-5 KJLCB 2-10 HNGAE四、完形填空1-5 ACADA 2-10 CADDD11-15 ABADC三、阅读理解1-5 BDCAC 2-10 BADCC11-15 BAADC 16-20 DBADA四、翻译最近有个学生看见两个工人在学校门外用风钻干活，马上打电话报告警察，说有两个学生装扮成工人，正在用风钻破坏路面。

Left to her own devices, she’d prefer to go to bed around 3 a.m. and wake up about noon. Why do night owls exist? There is no single ___1___ accepted theory, but evolutionary biologists think that communities with more variation in chronotypes(睡眠类型)may have been more likely to survive.Another theory is that variation is ___2___ how genetics works.

Colin Espie, professor of sleep medicine at the University of Oxford, says this ___4___ differences in hair eye and skin color or height.Natural night owls are ___5___ different from insomniacs or people who stay up until the early hours because of family or work circumstances. Being a night owl isn’t a problem.But this isn’t always well understood. Jessica Batchelor is a medical writer who feels most productive at 11 p.m. “I can’t tell anyone when I went to sleep, woke up, showered or ate a meal without being ___6___,” she says “I struggle with feelings of guilt and shame.”This mentality is rooted in our agrarian(耕地的)past when farm work had to begin at dawn.Our culture mistakenly associates sleeping little and rising early with ___7___.

Recent studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in ____1____ on roads.The review explains that smell is unique in its effect on the ____2____ .

This is why the smell of baking bread can ____4____ the best intentions of one going on a diet.”Smell, which reveals the unbelievable ____5____ of food tastes, has always been the least understood of our senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 ____6____ smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1, 000 genes, which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome (基因组). Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the ____7____ of this extraordinary sense.

I seek minds whose qualities illuminate(照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend.He was in despair(失望) and 1 was in despair. Butour friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind.In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell…’’We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.1．In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means _________.A．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC．our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD．we parted with each other in London2．In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to _________.A．seek professional helpB．be left aloneC．stay with her best friendD．break the silence3．What is the best title for the passage?A．Unforgettable ExperiencesB．Remarkable ImaginationC．Lifelong FriendshipD．Noble CompanionsBI have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were suggested to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning weall jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined.how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!” a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive(印象深刻的)sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I cannot wipe out forever.Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.4．When did they see the first light of the sunrise?A．About 3 o’clock.B．About 4 o’clock.C．Nearly 5 o’clock.D．Nearly 6 o’clock.5．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “chilly” in paragraph three?A．Cold.B．Interesting.C．Warm.D．Terrible.6．What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?A．Excited all the time.B．Firstly excited then impatient.C．Afraid all the time.D．Firstly excited then afraid.7．What does the author want to tell us by this passage?A．My friends and I took a trip to Hawaii.B．I enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in my life.C．Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.D．Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.五、阅读表达阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
