A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle thatconsists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platformto the handlebars. To ride it, you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip (扭转把手) on theleft handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope (陀螺仪) detects yourmovements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has a《英语》第3页共10页maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it inand recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoywalks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as analternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take thedog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers tomove quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming acommon sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism,particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outsidea cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of touristspassing on Segways.() 36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A.

What a Segway is likePassage TwoWe all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all.You will often find them going above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or fromthe traditional Herding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty because of their amazingThese types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals — and are often able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many different fields, including specialist search, snowslide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, the dog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力 ) and endurance.《英语》第4页共10页A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during"down"time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty.Trainingis not for the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working threeto four hours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance,includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent ( 气味 ) andthen follow t he scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped undercollapsed buildings and snow slide.() 40.

They say it is for women to be paid less than menfor the same work. People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men ) have ananswer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women ; a marriedman is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the importantdecision ,and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some peoplewho hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working atall. When wives go out to work , they say, the home and children are given noattention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job , theywill be unable to do the things. Women are best at making a comfortable home andbringing up children. They will have to giveup their present position in society.This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree say. They want toescapefrom the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between ajob and home life , or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equalopportunities.These women have expressed their opinions forcefully busing the famous saying ,“ Al menare created equal. ”They point out that the meaning of this sentence is “ allhuman being arecreated equal. ”( )48.

The word college is used to refer to either a college or auniversity. Theseinstitutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) orBachelor Science(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-yearprogram) for oneto two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore ( 二年级生 ) or junior ( 三年级生 ). It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schoolsrequir e strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well asspecificcollege prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges andfamous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, byearning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degreesin grad (graduate) school.

浙江专升本(英语)模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析) 全部题型 2. Reading Comprehension 3. Cloze 5. Translation 6. WritingReading ComprehensionNow let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate(专注), we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop —the duration of the fixation —varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness. Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.1.The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except______.A.one’s familiarity with the textB.one’s purpose in readingC.the length of a group of wordsD.lighting and tiredness正确答案:C解析:事实细节题。

浙江专升本(英语)模拟试卷1(题后含答案及解析) 全部题型 2. Reading Comprehension 3. Cloze 5. Translation 6. WritingReading ComprehensionA greenhouse is a building made of glass which is used for keeping plants warm when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere which trap the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as “greenhouse gases”, and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the “greenhouse effect”. This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them the earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us. The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth’s atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forests. The rapid increase in the greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world’s temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimeters. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles there will be a rise in the earth’s temperature of between 1 and 4. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, these gases have greatly increased.1.“Greenhouse effect” means______.A.the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warmB.natural course which is to some degree helpful to usC.The way “greenhouse gases” trap heat on the earthD.The whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat正确答案:C解析:根据第一段第四行the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the“greenhouse effect”,可知“温室效应”是指把热量保留在大气的行为,故选C。

浙江省2019年选拔优秀高职高专毕业生进入本科学习统一考试知乎教育英语全真模拟(二模)Part I Reading Comprehension(60marks,60minutes)Section A(50marks:2marks for each item)Format IDirections:There are4passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should choose the best choice.Passage oneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:The elephant was lying heavily on its side,fast asleep.A few dogs started barking at it.The elephant woke up in a terrible anger:it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn’t stop the elephant.It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people.The villagers were scared and angry.Then someone suggested calling Parbati,the elephant princess.Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer.He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk.He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up—how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn’t always lived in the jungle.After a happy childhood hunting with her father,she was sent to boarding school in the city.But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife."Life in the city is too dull.Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase,"she says.But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun.“My work,”she says,“is to rescue man from the elephants,and to keep the elephants safe from man.”And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.Increasingly,the Indian elephant is angry:for many years,illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land.It is now fighting back.Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village,Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion.A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant.“Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them.They are also more loyal than humans,”she said,as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant,happy animal.An elephant princess indeed!1.For Parbati,catching elephants is mainly to________.A.get long lasting excitementB.keep both man and elephants safeC.send them back to the jungleD.make the angry elephants tame2.what does“elephant tamer”mean?A.the man who feed elephantsB.the man who fight against elephantsC.the man who train elephants to do somethingD.the man who bring up elephants3.Before Parbati studied in a boarding school,________.A.she spent her time hunting with her fatherB.she learned how to sing love songsC.she had already been called an elephant princessD.she was taught how to hunt tigers4.Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because_______A.they are caught and sent for heavy workB.illegal hunters capture them and kill themC.they are attacked and their land gets limitedD.dogs often bark at them and chase them5.The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India_____A.people easily fall victim to elephants’attacksB.the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC.elephant tamers are in short supplyD.dogs are as powerful as elephantsPassage twoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right behind us!”An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned back----the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod(三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so,this was a fight I had to win:I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was actually wrestling(扭打)with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back toward the forest,before returning for another attack-----The first time I felt panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.6.The brown bear approached the family in order to_______.A.catch shore birdsB.start an attackC.protect the childrenD.set up a barrier for itself7.The bear finally went away after it_______.A.felt safeB.got injuredC.found some foodD.took away the camera8.Why did the author fight against the brown bear instead of running away?A.Because the brown bear runs faster than menB.Because the brown bear was thin and smallC.Because the author thought he could win the battleD.Because the author had camera and tripod as arms9.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their______.A.prideB.patienceC.calmnessD.boldness10.What does the author want to say by telling us his story?A.The brown bear is easy to defeatB.The beach is very dangerous and do not play on beachC.Men are more powerful and intelligent than brown bearsD.Being clear-headed is very important when you are in dangerPassage threeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles(UCLA)have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress.This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders.Until now,psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same "fight-or-flight"reaction to stress.In other words,individuals either react with aggressive behavior,such as verbal or physical conflict("fight"),or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation("flight"). However,the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress.While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response,women often have another kind of reaction which could be called"tend and befriend."That is,they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young("tend"),and by looking for social contact and support from others-especially other females('befriend").Scientists have long known that in the fight-or-flight reaction to stress,an important role is played by certain hormones released by the body.The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone.This hormone,called oxytocin,has been studied in the context of Fuldbirt.h,but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress.The principal investigator,Dr.Shelley E.Taylor,explained that"animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer,more relaxed,more social,and less anxious."While men also secrete(分泌)oxytocin,its effects are reduced by male hormones.In terms of everyday behavior,the UCLA study found that women are far.more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed.They may phone relatives or friends,or ask directions if they are lost.The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work.The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother,coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior.The tend-and-befriend regulatory system may protect women against stress,and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.11.The UCLA study shows that in response to stress,men are more likely than women to.A.turn to friends for helpB.solve a conflict calmlyC.find an escape from realityD.seek comfort from children12.Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?A.Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.B.Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.C.Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.D.Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.13.Which group is more likely to have high blood pressure?A.MenB.WomenC.Not mentionedD.Both men and women14.What can be learned from the passage?A.Male hormones help build up the body's resistance to stress.B.In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.C.Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.D.The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.15.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.How men and women get over stressB.How men and women suffer from stressC.How researchers overcome stress problemsD.How researchers handle stress-related disorders Passage fourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:This month,Germany’s transport minister,Alexander Dobrindt,proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆).They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the“death valley”of autonomous vehicles:the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.Dobrindt wants three things:that a car always chooses property damage over personal injury;that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race;and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel—to check email,say—the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,”says Dobrindt.It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers,he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers,consumers and lawyers.“The issue of legal responsibility is the biggest one of them all,”says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds,UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars,which was introduced earlier this year,insists that a human“be watchful and monitoring the road”at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars.“When you say ‘driverless cars’,people expect driverless cars.”Merat says.“You know—no driver.”Because of the confusion,Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation.Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own,says Ryan Calo at Stanford University,California.That is happening in the UK and Singapore,where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US,however.“The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,”says Calo.16.What does the phrase“death valley”in Paragraph2refer to?A.A place where cars often break down.B.A case where passing a law is impossible.C.An area where no driving is permitted.D.A situation where drivers’role is not clear.17.The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to__________.A.stop people from breaking traffic rulesB.help promote fully automatic drivingC.protect drivers of all ages and racesD.prevent serious property damage18.What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?A.It should get the attention of insurance companies.B.It should be the main concern of law makers.C.It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D.It should involve no human responsibility.19.Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in__________.A.SingaporeB.the UKC.the USD.Germany20.What could be the best title for passage?A.Autonomous Driving:Whose Liability?B.Fully Automatic Cars:A New BreakthroughC.Autonomous Vehicles:Driver Removed!D.Driverless Cars:Root of Road AccidentsFormat IIDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions21-25,choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices, which do not fit into any of the gaps.Evaluating Sources of health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation.A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information.Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information,how to separate fact from opinions,how to recognize poor reasoning,and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.21 Go to the original source.Media reports often simplify the results of medical research.Find out for yourself what a study really reported,and determine whether it was based on good science.Think about the type of study.22Watch for misleading language.Some studies will find that a behavior“contributes to”or is“associated with”an outcome;this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.23Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense.If a report seems too good to be true,probably it is.Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.24Evaluate“scientific”statements carefully,and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).25Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration,but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A.Make choice that are right for you.B.The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C.Be sure to work through the critical questions.D.And examine the findings of the original research.E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author’s point of view.G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.Section B(10marks:1mark for each item)Directions:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank form a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.When I succeeded in becoming a part-time26of Nokia China last summer,many friends asked me how I survived the interview.I once asked myself the same questions.Many of my peers also27for the job,including some very competitive and intelligent students from famous universities.But why did the interviewer pick me instead of them?Finally,curiosity28me to ask the interviewers after we became colleagues.The answer was that I appeared confident but humble,responsible and communicative.They evaluated people29just on their academic certificates,but on the base of their qualities and abilities.I happened to be the right person.To be frank,I once felt30of being a student from an unknown college,and I think this may applyto some of you.I thought my future was ruined.It was only at the time of my successful interview that I finally understood the famous saying---“You decide where you go.”A wide range of skills is important these days.I used to work for Master Kong.My job was to cook instant noodles for customers.I had regarded it as a piece of cake,but I failed constantly.I had to cook the noodles for the right amount of time to make them taste good.Moreover,the noodles could only remain in a plastic cup of five minutes,or the taste would be31.This experience taught me never to look down on anything,and always remain humble.I also worked as a volunteer for a beach volleyball event.My job was to32foreign visitors experience the beach.I thought it would be very easy because my oral English was33good.But when I went to talk with a group of foreign guests,I suddenly realized that I did not know a single beach volleyball term.I was embarrassed.After this,I read brochures in both Chinese and English every day to learn the terms for facilities and related words.This allowed me to deliver accurate words to foreigners,and I was happy to work34.After these experience,I’m more confident and I strongly believe that my fate is in my hands.It has certainly helped me make a giant step

It begins with a section called“All About Ashley,”where Ashley tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen.“I was so happy.But it was crazy in a lot of ways.I got very stressed.I mean,I was only sixteen—I didn’t even have a car!If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you’d be stressed,too!“In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business,“Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them.And don’t listen when_______,because I heard‘no’a lot. Just keep going until you hear‘yes’!”56.For what purpose did Ashley create GooseHead?57.According to paragraph3,what did Ashley do after GooseHead was closed down?58.What is the title of first chapter in the book The Goosehead Guide to Life?59.How did Ashley feel as a young boss of a company?60.Fill in the blank in Paragraph4with proper words.Part III Translation(30marks,30minutes)Section A From Chinese to English(15marks:3marks for each item)Directions:Complete the sentences by translating into English the Chinese given in the brackets.61.(他所说的话)made me very angry.62.Somehow my parents look at me angrily(好像我犯了错一样).63.Teamwork means that we should(与对方合作).64.He imagines that one day he may take part in(开发人工智能).65.He didn’t come back(他直到去年十一月才回来).Section B From English to Chinese(15marks:3marks for each item)Directions:Translate into Chinese the underlined sentences in the following passage.Fifteen years ago,I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic view of the blue sea,white buildings and green olive trees,I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.66.Unfortunately,just as I took out my camera,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of me.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was,after about15minutes,my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?67.Sure,I could have required her to leave for a few minutes.She seemed so content in her observation.I didn’t want to mess with that.68.Another15minutes passed and I grew a little bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape,beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo,with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who“ruined”it,now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall?69.A bedroom,after all,is a very private space,in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized.70.She lives in my house to some extent.Perhaps we all live in each others’spaces.Perhaps this is what photos are for:to remind us that we all appreciate beauty,that we all share a common desire for pleasure,for connection,for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder,a captured moment,an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.Part IV Writing(30marks,30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write a composition.You should write about120 words following the Chinese outline given below.1.外卖(takeout food)已非常普遍。

浙江专升本(英语)模拟试卷1(题后含答案及解析) 全部题型 2. Reading Comprehension 3. Cloze 5. Translation 6. WritingReading ComprehensionA greenhouse is a building made of glass which is used for keeping plants warm when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere which trap the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as “greenhouse gases”, and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the “greenhouse effect”. This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them the earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us. The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth’s atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forests. The rapid increase in the greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world’s temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimeters. If the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles there will be a rise in the earth’s temperature of between 1 and 4. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, these gases have greatly increased.1.“Greenhouse effect” means______.A.the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warmB.natural course which is to some degree helpful to usC.The way “greenhouse gases” trap heat on the earthD.The whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat正确答案:C解析:根据第一段第四行the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the“greenhouse effect”,可知“温室效应”是指把热量保留在大气的行为,故选C。

Part I Reading comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section AFormat IDirections: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1.(2’*20=40 marks) Passage OneQuestion 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a brilliant holograph. It burns its way into your new acquaintance’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and other popular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only the physicalappearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad(素描侧). One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the sub ject’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “Well, er, that’s great. But it really isn’t me.” The crowd’s convincingec ho of “Oh yes it is!” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world’s view of himself or herself in t he napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people’s personalities so well. He said, “It’s simple. I just look at them.” Almost e very fact of people’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move.First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, people’s heads are spi nning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the world and get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data they deal with for a long time.1. People usually get the first impression of a person through ______.A. reading an article about him or her in a famous magazineB. getting acquainted with his or her beat friendsC. taking a brief look at his or her appearanceD. studying his or her personality carefully2. Why does the author say that Robert has a unique giftA. He can draw the subject carefullyB. He can memorize the names of people instantlyC. He can illustrate the subject’s characteristicD.

Can you imagine sitting in class and seeing your dad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you In junior highOne girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer, and she would say things like, “that is gross!” I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.The girl lived a few streets away from us, and a winter day---the day her elder sister got married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom cracked and there was water everywhere. Her father called every plumber in the yellow book but nobody would come out because of the major snowstorm. His daughter told her father that my father was a plumber, and he called. My dad went over and took me with him(maybehe was hoping that the lawyer’s daughter would be nicer to me.) My father fixed the toilet, helped to clean up everything, and didn’t take a dime for the trouble. But as we were leaving, he told the girl “If I ever need a lawyer, I’ll be happy to call your dad.”As we walked to our car, he said to me, “Do you believe he didn’t know where the main shut-off valve was What a dumb ass!”From that point on, her dad was known in school as Attorney Dumb Ass.When my husband and I bought our house, the first thing my dad showed him was the main shut-off valve.I have always been proud to say that I’m a plumber’s daughter.6.

Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller.Nanotechnology(纳米技术)is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Micro-machines too small to been seen by the eye are being designed to do many things. And these machines no larger than in diameter than a human hair, are extremely powerful. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命).Nano comes from the Greek word dwarf. A nanometer is one-billion of a meter, The period of the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers, which in equal to 100,000 nanometers. To understand this new technology, we have to get rid of the normal ideas of size and strength.Minute( 微小的) robots , called “nanorobots”are being developed in the revolutionize manufacturing. Instead of cars being produced on assembling line, for example, scientist predict that cars can be built in a giant container into which raw material and machines have been placed. Thousands of nanorobots will direct the process and tell the machine what to do. Micro-machines can also be used to make our environment safer. Today, poison chemicals are stored in containers or transported by trucks or trains. This is sometimes result in dangerous spills. But with nanotechnology, manufacturers could have their own tiny chemical factories. The produce would be no bigger thana sugar cube and would manufacture exactly the amount of chemicals needed at the moment. No chemicals would need to be stored. The workplace would be safer, and the environment would be cleaner. 11. The author mentions guitar at thebeginning of the passage in order to ______.A. introduce the knowledge of guitarB. introduce the topic of nanotechnologyC. show his or her own interest in musicD. describe the craft of making musical instruments12. According to the passage, why does the nanotechnology lead to the next industrial revolutionA. Micro-machines are tiny but beautifulB. Micro-machines are strong but smartC. Micro-machines are small but powerfulD. Micro-machines are cute and varied13. The word dwarf in is closest in meaning to ______A. cleverB. slowC. quickD. minute14. With nanotechnology, where will cars probably be produced ______A. On assemble lineB. In huge containersC. Inside the micro-machinesD. Inside the nanorobots15. Which of the following is NOT the causes leading to cleaner environment by adopting nanotechnologyA. There will be less dangerous spills.B. The amount of produced chemicals can be precisely controlled.C. Micro-factories need not store chemicals.D. The factories will be of large size.Passage FourQuestion 15 to 20 are based on the following passage:When Caroline heard the phone ring late in the evening, she knew it was something important. She listened as a park ranger explained the situation. Seven children were lost in the Pennsylvania wildness. Caroline pulled on the red jacket that said Rescue on it and called on her dog, Aly, a shepherd. She and Aly raced to their rescue truck and climbed in. Then Caroline put on the emergency light and steppedon the gas. She knew they had no time to lose.In the dark Pennsylvania wood, Caroline and Aly walked for hours to looking for sigh of children. It was a fierce autumn night, and she became cold and exhausted. Suddenly, she saw footprint ahead. In the cold, it was difficult for Aly to pick up the children’s scent, but finally he found it and began to bark. Then two miles down the road, Aly began to yelp with joy, and Caroline began to run. There were the children. They were shivering and crying, but they were safe.Caroline and Aly are a specialized team with many amazing, life-saving rescues to their credit. She had always loved dogs and used to raise them as hobby. One day a friend suggested canine search and rescue team. Caroline and Aly makes an excellent team. Dogs have a great sensitivity to smell. She trained Aly to find the scent of humans underground and in open spaces. Caroline is a natural athlete who skis and mountain climbs, and she is highly skilled in wilderness survival. She and Aly can find people faster than a dozen human searchers can. Caroline can also speak seven languages, so she often translates for other rescue workers when she works in different countries.16. Which of the following can best describe the situation inA.

Which of the following can be best title of the passageA. Seven childrenB. Aly the rescue dogC. Search and rescue skillsD. A search and rescue teamFormat IIDirections: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed. For questions 21-25, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit into any of the gaps. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet1.(2’*5=10 marks)A dictionary contains a definition of friendship somewhere in the F’s between the words“fear” and “Friday”. An encyclopedia supplies interesting facts on friendship. But all the definitions and facts do not convey what friendship is really all about. 21__________ It is an experience that involves all the senses.22______________ It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands, It is the way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floating in the autumn air, a touch so strong that years of living could not pull them apart. Friendship is seen in a child freely sharing the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulder of another as they walk on the playground. Seeing friendship is not casual. It is watching for subtlety, but friendship is there for eyes that can see.23 __________It is heard in the words of two friends who squeezed in lunch together on an extremely busy day. It is the way they talk to each other, not the words. Their tone is unique.Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen. Friendship is felt in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, the slimy, wet kiss from the family dog. It’s a touch that reassures that someone is there, someone who cares. The touch communicates more than words or gestures. It is instantly understood and speaks volumes beyond the point of contact, to the heart.Friendship has a taste. 24 __________, the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully mixed and kneaded, then the quiet waiting as the dough rises. Hot from the oven, the bread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients. There is something else there, perhaps the thoughts of the baker as her hands knead the dough, or her patience as she waits for thedough to rise. Unseen and unmeasured, this is theingredient that makes the difference. Warm, fresh from the oven with a little butter, the difference you taste is friendship.Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is an experience of the heart. 25 __________–a language without words, vowels, or consonants; a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the heart. Like air fills the lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the best life has to offer: a friend.A. Friend has a smell.B. It is the language of the heart.C. It tastes like homemade bread.D. The only way to understand friendship is through experience.E. Friend can be seen.F. It is a pat on the back from a teammate.G.

Part I Reading Comprehension(60points,60minutes)Section A passage reading(每⼩题2分,共50分)Format IDirections:There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40points) Passage OneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:I was raised on a farm during the boom years after World War Il.I was the third eldest in a family of six boys—no girls.We were all expected to help out around the farm with whatever needed to be done.My mom was no exception as she worked at any job necessary,while raisingus six boys.In my thirteenth year,an event occurred that in hindsight would dramatically alter how I viewed my mom.It was a hot summer day.My dad,two of my elder brothers and I were busy in the field baling(打包)hay for our horses and cows for the winter.Mom remained at home looking aftermy three younger brothers.She was also there,however,to help offload the full hay rack as英语试题第1页(共16页)quickly as possible to help keep everything running smoothly.About8p.m.,we headed home after a hard day’s work.Mom busily prepared a big supper for all of us at the house.After supper,we boys all took turns having a bath—the annual4-H day at the Swan River Fair was the following day and three of my brothers and I were marching in the parade at10a.m.Mom cleaned up the table and did the dishes by hand.By10p.m.we were all exhausted and ready to get to bed.Around1a.m.,I awoke to use the bathroom.As I staggered through the kitchen on my way there,I was bewildered to see that the lights were still on.To my utter amazement,there was Mom with her back to me busily ironing.On the table were four neat piles of clothes,including our marching uniforms for the parade.It was several years more before I fully realized the significance of what I had witnessed that night:Mom had demonstrated more clearly than any words could have what the love of a mother means.1.What were the boys supposed to do on the farm?A.To do the dishes.B.To prepare dinner.C.To look after the cattle.D.To help with farm work.2.How many people are there in the authors family?A.3.B.4.C.6D.8.3.When did the author go to the bathroom?A.At1a.m.B.At10a.m.C.At8p.m.D.At10p.m.4.Mom ironed clothes for the four boys late in the middle of the night because.A.the clothes were dirty after a day's workB.the clothes were spilt over by the supper soupC.the four boys were wearing them for the paradeD.the boys were too exhausted to do it themselves英语试题第2页(共16页)5.What is the theme of this passage?A.The love of a mother.B.The hardship of farm life.C.Boys are naughtier than girls.D.Action speaks louder than words.Passage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:This week,the governor of Connecticut proposed a statewide tax on sugar—sweetened drinks. Several cities have already enacted such soda taxes to raise money and fight obesity(肥胖).And there’s new evidence suggesting that these taxes do work—although sometimes not as well as hoped.Kris Madsen,an associate professor of public health at the University of California,Berkeley, is one of the researchers who has been studying soda taxes,in part because she’s convinced that sugary drinks are a threat to society,a direct cause of obesity.“It’s a pretty high bar for public health to be able to say that something is causing a major epidemic,”she says.“We can do that for sugar sweetened beverages(饮料).”Berkeley was the first U.S.city to tax those drinks,making them more expensive,and Madsen is leading a team of researchers that’s trying to see how the tax is working.“We’ve been going out to the same neighborhoods every year for the last five years,and we’ve been asking people the same questions,”she says.Researchers interview people on the street,primarily in low--income neighborhoods.They started doing this before the soda tax went into effect four years ago,and they’ve continued every year since.“We saw a52percent decline in consumption over the first three years”since the tax went into effect,she says.“This has a hugeimpact.”Madsen’s study was published online this week by The American Journal of Public Health.Mexico,in fact,put in place a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in2014.That tax is smaller than the soda taxes in theU.S.,and its effect on consumption also has been smaller.According to one study,consumption of sugary drinks fell on average by about8percent as a result of the tax.英语试题第3页(共16页)6.A statewide tax on sugary drinks was planned in this week.A.CaliforniaB.ConnecticutC.BerkeleyD.Mexico7.What is one of the reasons why the government put a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks?A.To collect money.B.To help poor people.C.To cut the consumption of alcohol.D.To support research on public health.8.We can infer from the passage that Kris Madsen believes that.A.soda taxes cause inflationB.soda taxes are harmful to societyC.rich people don’t drink sugar-sweetened beveragesD.sugar-sweetened drinks are harmful to public health9.The tax on sugar-sweetened drinks is less effective in Mexico than that in the U.S.becauseA.it’s enforced earlierB.its tax rate is lowerC.Mexicans drink less sodasD.Mexico is a small country10.What is the theme of this passage?A.The effect of soda taxes.B.The harm of sugary drinks.C.The greed of the government.D.The life of a university teacher.Passage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:Fabio Schvartsman,a well—respected businessman as yet,may now be the most detested man in Brazil.As chief executive of vale,a giant miner and the worlds largest producer of iron ore,it was Mr Schvartsman who had to face the public after the collapse of a company tailings (矿渣)dam in the town of Brumadinho on January,25th.186people are now confirmed as dead,with122still missing.英语试题第4页(共16页)So it was not a shock when,on March2nd,Vale said that Mr Schvartsman would step down. Tailings dams contain tonnes of waste material from mining operations.The design used at Brumadinho was known to be the least expensive and most risky.After a flood of waste burst from the Brumadinho dam,ripping through a staff canteen and submerging a valley in mud,the company tried to respond quickly.Its board suspended benefits for executives.It has made paymentsof100,000reais($26,000)to266families.Eduardo deSalles Bartolomeo,a Vale veteran,has been named interim(临时的)chief executive.He faces mounting problems.A crucial question is if Mr Schvartsman or other executives knew about problems with the dam.The firm maintains that they didn’t.Prosecutors (检察官)declare that Vale made a secret deal to hide the fact that the dam is in danger.Despite all these difficulties the firm may recover.That is partly because of Mr Schvartsman’s changes since he took over,in May2017.He reduced Vale’s debt and cut capital spending.With healthy free cash flow and low debt,Vale’s balance sheet can probably withstand even heavy government fines.The fundamentals in metals markets are also helping In the2020s, demand is expected to rise for iron ore in emerging markets and for nickel(another of Vale’s key commodities)in electric cars.That increases the odds of Vale surviving the disaster,even as victims remain Missing,buried in mud.11.What does the underlined word“detest”in Paragraph I mean?A.IgnoreB.AdoreC.HateD.Respect12.Why was it Fabio Schvartsman who had to face the public after the disaster?A.Because Vale is a giant miner.B.Because he was the chief executive.C.Because he used to be well-respected.D.Because the accident killed many people.13.What is the biggest problem that Eduardo desalles Bartolomeo faces after he has been appointed interim chief executive?A.The dismissal of Mr Schvartsman.B.Legal charges against the executives.C.The suspension of benefits for executives.D.Payments of100,000reais to266families.英语试题第5页(共16页)14.What may help Vale survive the disaster?A.Increasing Vale’s debt.B.Heavy fines from government.C.Putting Mr Schvartsman in jail.D.Rising demand for Vale’s commodities.15.Why did the company’s tailings dam in Brumadinho collapse?A.Because Mr Schvartsman cut Vale’s capital spending in May2017.B.Because there were tonnes of waste material from mining operations.C.Because the design of the dam was the least expensive and most risky.D.Because the executives of the company knew the risk of a dam breach.Passage fourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:Most people don’t think about backing up their computer until they experience the dread of a hard drive crash.It's only then that the sad reality of a life’s worth of photos,music,spreadsheets, contacts,and other files disappearing in an instant truly sinks in.Denis Gorbachev of Cloudberry Lab recommends the“3-2-1backup strategy in which you keep three copies of each important file;two of them on different external hard drives,stored in different locations,and one in the cloud.”Here’s a real-life example of how often you need to back up your computer from Jimmy,a wedding photographer at Pixelicious.He uses the3-2-1strategy to ensure his client’s special memories are both in the cloud and on external hard drives so that they never get lost.“Before leaving a wedding reception,I immediately pull one of the two memory cards from my camera and store it in my wallet.A backup of the images will[literally]follow me wherever I go!”says Jimmy.“Then,as soon as I get home,a copy of the files will be transferred to my desktop so that before the sun rises again,I already have three copies of my client’s images.”After editing, copies of the final images are immediately uploaded onto his cloud storage,while duplicate sets are transferred to external hard drives,one of which is stored in a bank’s safety deposit box Having multiple backups provides peace of mind.Your first computer back up may be a tedious(冗长乏味的)affair as all of your downloaded英语试题第6页(共16页)music,photos,and files get copied onto external hard drives and up to a cloud.But,that initial time and effort will save you from the dread of losing it all in a crash.From there,the ongoing back up process will become streamlined as additional files get copied to drives and backed up through automated methods.16.According to the“3-2-1backup strategy”,we need to keep altogether copies of our important files.A.1B.2C.3D.617.What do we know about Jimmy?A.He is a photographer.B.He is a wedding planner.C.He is one of Denis’friends.D.He works for Cloudberry Lab.18.Where does Jimmy keep his client's images after editing them?A.In the memory cards of his camera.B.In the memory cards in his wallet.C.In his desktop computer.D.In his cloud storage.19.What might people feel when they back up their files for the first time?A.Peaceful.B.Fearful.C.Bored.D.Confident.20.What can we infer from the passage?A.Hard drives crash frequently.B.Few people back up their computers regularly.C.The cloud is an unsafe place for your important files.D.Internal hard drives are safer than external hard drives.Format IIDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions21to25. choose the most suitable sentence from choices A to G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. there are two extra choices,which do not fit into any of the blanks.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(10points)We think of winter as cold and flu season,but the chilly temperatures have powerful biological upsides too.Here are some ways cold weather helps your body.英语试题第7页(共16页)21..Colder temperatures can help you think more clearly.Studies have found that people perform some cognitive tasks better when the temperature is cooler.Research has also shown that people are less inclined to tackle complex tasks in summer than in winter.The brain requires glucose(葡萄糖)to function,but the body uses more of it in warmer temperatures to keep the body cool. That leaves less available fuel for reasoning and recall tasks.22..We know accumulating too much ordinary fat can endanger our health.But adults also have small amounts ofbeneficial“brown”fat that can help burn more calories--and cold temperatures can activate this brown fat.One study showed that participants who lowered their body temperatures simply by placing one foot in cold water did increase their brown fat cells. 23..If spring and summer make you sneeze,winter might be your new favorite season.Pollen (花粉)counts are virtually nonexistent in cold weather.Indoor allergies,however,can be worse during the winter.To ease indoor allergies,use a dehumidifier(减湿器)to maintain the humidity at home below50percent.24..Your body’s core temperature drops when you’re trying to sleep.This process can take up to two hours in summer,but it’s much faster in winter.Plus,with darker mornings,you naturally sleep later.25..Yes,you might get more colds during the winter.However,studies have shown that the immune system can be activated by colder temperatures,which enhances our ability to fight infections.That said,the flu virus thrives in cold,dry air,and time spent indoors increases your chance of infection.To reduce risk,get your annual flu shot,wash your hands frequently,and go outside.A.Eases allergiesB.Kills flu virusesC.Fights infections/doc/ea51897ff8d6195f312b3169a45177232e60e45a.html es less glucoseE.Boosts your brainF.Activates healthy fatG.Encourages better sleep英语试题第8页(共16页)。

浙江专升本(英语)模拟试卷8(题后含答案及解析) 全部题型 2. Reading Comprehension 3. Cloze 5. Translation 6. WritingReading ComprehensionYou never see him, but they’re with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They’re known as “the black box”. When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the Indian ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine(潜水艇)detected the device’s homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed. In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic: information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U. S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane(the area least subject to impact)from its original position in the landing wells(起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility. Modern airplanes have two black boxes; a voice recorder, which tracks pilots’conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments. Placed in an insulated(隔绝的)case and surrounded by quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2000?. When submerged, they’re also able to emit signals from depths of 20000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered.1.What does the author say about the black box?A.It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.B.The idea for its design comes from a comic book.C.Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.D.It is an indispensable device on an airplane.正确答案:C解析:根据第一段倒数第二行Their ability to withstand almost any disastermakes them seemlike something out of a comic book.可知黑匣子几乎能够经受住所有的灾难。

Part I Reading comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section AFormat IDirections: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C andD. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet1.(2’*20=40 marks)Passage OneQuestion 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a brilliant holograph. It burns its way into your new acquainta nce’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and other popular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad(素描侧). One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “Well, er, that’s great. But it really isn’t me.” The crowd’s convincing echo of “Oh yes it is!” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world’s view of himself or herself in the napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people’s personalities so well. He said, “It’s simple. I just look at them.” Almost every fact of people’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move.First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, p eople’s heads are spinning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the world and get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data they deal with for a long time.1. People usually get the first impression of a person through ______.A. reading an article about him or her in a famous magazineB. getting acquainted with his or her beat friendsC. taking a brief look at his or her appearanceD. studying his or her personality carefully2. Why does the author say that Robert has a unique gift?A. He can draw the subject carefullyB. He can memorize the names of people instantlyC. He can illustrate the subject’s characteristicD. He can communicate with the famous people effectively3. What does the phrase “zeroing in on” most probably mean?A. relying onB. responding onC. acknowledging onD. grasping4. The puzzled look on the subject’s face suggests that ______.A. the artist’s drawing is out of subject’s expect ationB. the crowd treated the subject rudelyC. the artist failed to show his respect for the subjectD. the image of the drawing was too real to believe5. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. one should never trust a person by his or her appearanceB. the first impression usually has a long lasting influenceC. the judgment based on the first impression is always reliableD. we can no longer make any sense of the information an handPassage TwoQuestion 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:My dad was a plumber for the public works department in our town, so from time to time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in class and seeing your dad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you? In junior high?One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer, and she would say things like, “that is gross!” I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.The girl lived a few streets away from us, and a winter day---the day her elder sister got married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom cracked and there was water everywhere. Her father called every plumber in the yellow book but nobody would come out because of the major snowstorm. His daughter told her father that my father was a plumber, and he called. My dad went over and took me with him(maybe he was hoping that the lawyer’s daughter would be nicer to me.)My father fixed the toilet, helped to clean up everything, and didn’t take a dime for the trouble. But as we were leaving, he told the girl “If I ever need a lawyer, I’ll be happy to call your dad.”As we walked to our car, he said to me, “Do you believe he didn’t know where the main shut-off valve was? What a dumb ass!”From that point on, her dad was known in school as Attorney Dumb Ass.When my husband and I bought our house, the first thing my dad showed him was the main shut-off valve.I have always been proud to say that I’m a plumber’s daughter.6. When her father came to her school and peeked through the classroom door, the writer might feel ________.A. pleasedB. embarrassedC. disappointedD. proud7. The girl’s attitude towards the writer can be best described as ________.A. unfriendlyB. doubtfulC. kindD. gross8. In her early teens, the only thing the writer care about was ______ .A. her studyB. her appearanceC. what her father didD. what the other girls thought9. Why couldn’t the lawyer find anybody to fix the toilet on that winter day?A. He had little moneyB. All the plumbers were too busy to comeC. There was a major snowstorm and nobody would come outD. One of his daughters was getting married and the house was in a mess10. What might the writer’s father think of the lawyer?A. GenerousB. IntelligentC. StupidD. RespectfulPassage ThreeQuestion 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it wit h the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled. Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller.Nanotechnology(纳米技术)is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Micro-machines too small to been seen by the eye are being designed to do many things. And these machines no larger than in diameter than a human hair, are extremely powerful. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命).Nano comes from the Greek word dwarf. A nanometer is one-billion of a meter, The period of the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers, which in equal to 100,000 nanometers. To understand this new technology, we have to get rid of the normal ideas of size and strength.Minute( 微小的) robots , called “nanorobots”are being developed in the revolutionize manufacturing. Instead of cars being produced on assembling line, for example, scientist predict that cars can be built in a giant container into which raw material and machines have been placed. Thousands of nanorobots will direct the process and tell the machine what to do. Micro-machines can also be used to make our environment safer. Today, poison chemicals are stored in containers or transported by trucks or trains. This is sometimes result in dangerous spills. But with nanotechnology, manufacturers could have their own tiny chemical factories. The produce would be no bigger than a sugar cube and would manufacture exactly the amount of chemicals needed at the moment. No chemicals would need to be stored. The workplace would be safer, and the environment would be cleaner.11. The author mentions guitar at the beginning of the passage in order to ______.A. introduce the knowledge of guitarB. introduce the topic of nanotechnologyC. show his or her own interest in musicD. describe the craft of making musical instruments12.

Which of the following is NOT the causes leading to cleaner environment by adopting nanotechnology?A. There will be less dangerous spills.B. The amount of produced chemicals can be precisely controlled.C. Micro-factories need not store chemicals.D. The factories will be of large size.Passage FourQuestion 15 to 20 are based on the following passage:When Caroline heard the phone ring late in the evening, she knew it was something important. She listened as a park ranger explained the situation. Seven children were lost in the Pennsylvania wildness. Caroline pulled on the red jacket that said Rescue on it and called on her dog, Aly, a shepherd. She and Aly raced to their rescue truck and climbed in. Then Caroline put on the emergency light and stepped on the gas. She knew they had no time to lose.In the dark Pennsylvania wood, Caroline and Aly walked for hours to looking for sigh of children. It was a fierce autumn night, and she became cold and exhausted. Suddenly, she saw footprint ahead. In the cold, it was difficult for Aly to pick u p the children’s scent, but finally he found it and began to bark. Then two miles down the road, Aly began to yelp with joy, and Caroline began to run. There were the children. They were shivering and crying, but they were safe.Caroline and Aly are a specialized team with many amazing, life-saving rescues to their credit. She had always loved dogs and used to raise them as hobby. One day a friend suggested canine search and rescue team. Caroline and Aly makes an excellent team. Dogs have a great sensitivity to smell. She trained Aly to find the scent of humans underground and in open spaces. Caroline is a natural athlete who skis and mountain climbs, and she is highly skilled in wilderness survival.

For questions 21-25, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit into any of the gaps. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet1.(2’*5=10 marks)A dictionary contains a definition of friendship somewhere in the F’s between the words “fear” and “Friday”. An encyclopedia supplies interesting facts on friendship. But all the definitions and facts do not convey what friendship is really all about. 21__________ It is an experience that involves all the senses.22______________ It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands, It is the way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floating in the autumn air, a touch so strong that years of living could not pull them apart. Friendship is seen in a child freely sharing the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulder of another as they walk on the playground. Seeing friendship is not casual. It is watching for subtlety, but friendship is there for eyes that can see.23 __________It is heard in the words of two friends who squeezed in lunch together on an extremely busy day. It is the way they talk to each other, not the words. Their tone is unique.Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen. Friendship is felt in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, the slimy, wet kiss from the family dog. It’s a touch that reassures that someone is there,someone who cares. The touch communicates more than words or gestures. It is instantly understood and speaks volumes beyond the point of contact, to the heart.Friendship has a taste. 24 __________, the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully mixed and kneaded, then the quiet waiting as the dough rises. Hot from the oven, thebread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients. There is something else there, perhaps the thoughts of the baker as her hands knead the dough, or her patience as she waits for the dough to rise. Unseen and unmeasured, this is the ingredient that makes the difference. Warm, fresh from the oven with a little butter, the difference you taste is friendship.Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is an experience of the heart. 25 __________–a language without words, vowels, or consonants; a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the heart. Like air fills the lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the best life has to offer: a friend.A. Friend has a smell.B. It is the language of the heart.C. It tastes like homemade bread.D. The only way to understand friendship is through experience.E. Friend can be seen.F. It is a pat on the back from a teammate.G. Friendship can be heard.Section BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word blank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 1. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. (1’*10=10 marks)It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City.

Forquestions 21-25, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into eachof the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit into anyof the gaps. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet1.(2 ’*5=10 marks)A dictionary contains a definition of friendship somewherein the F’s between the words “fear ” and “Friday ”. An encyclopedia supplies interesting fact s on friendship. But all the definitions and facts do not convey what friendshipisreally all about. 21__________ It is an experience that involves all the senses.22______________ It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands, It is the way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floating in the autumnair,a touch so strong that years of living could not pull them apart. Friendshipisseen in a child freely sharing the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulderof another as they walk on the playground. Seeing friendship is not casual. It is watching for subtlety, but friendship is there for eyes that can see. . .23 __________It is heard in the words of two friends who squeezed in lunchtogether on an extremely busy day. It is the way they talk to each other, not the words. Their tone is unique.Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen. Friendship is feltin atouch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, theslimy, wet kiss from the familydog. It ’s a touch that reassures that someoneis there, someone who cares. The touch communicates more than words or gestures. It is instantly understood and speaks volumes beyond the point of contact, to the heart.Friendship has a taste. 24 __________, the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully mixed and kneaded, then the quiet waiting as the dough rises. Hot from the oven, the bread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients. There issomething else there, perhaps the thoughts of the baker as her hands knead thedough, or her patience as she waits for the dough torise. Unseen and unmeasured,this is theingredient that makes the difference. Warm, fresh from the oven with a little butter, the difference you taste is friendship.Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is an experience of the heart.25 __________–a language without words, vowels, or consonants; a language that,whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the heart. Like airfillsthe lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the bestlifehas to offer: afriend.A. Friend has a smell.B. It is the language of theheart.C. It tastes like homemade bread.D. The only way to understand friendship is through experience.E. Friend can be seen.F. It is a pat on the back from a teammate.G. Friendship can be heard.Section BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Part I Reading Comprehension(60points,60minutes)Section A passage reading(每小题2分,共50分)Format IDirections:There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40points) Passage OneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:I was raised on a farm during the boom years after World War Il.I was the third eldest in a family of six boys—no girls.We were all expected to help out around the farm with whatever needed to be done.My mom was no exception as she worked at any job necessary,while raisingus six boys.In my thirteenth year,an event occurred that in hindsight would dramatically alter how I viewed my mom.It was a hot summer day.My dad,two of my elder brothers and I were busy in the field baling(打包)hay for our horses and cows for the winter.Mom remained at home looking aftermy three younger brothers.She was also there,however,to help offload the full hay rack as英语试题第1页(共16页)quickly as possible to help keep everything running smoothly.About8p.m.,we headed home after a hard day’s work.Mom busily prepared a big supper for all of us at the house.After supper,we boys all took turns having a bath—the annual4-H day at the Swan River Fair was the following day and three of my brothers and I were marching in the parade at10a.m.Mom cleaned up the table and did the dishes by hand.By10p.m.we were all exhausted and ready to get to bed.Around1a.m.,I awoke to use the bathroom.As I staggered through the kitchen on my way there,I was bewildered to see that the lights were still on.To my utter amazement,there was Mom with her back to me busily ironing.On the table were four neat piles of clothes,including our marching uniforms for the parade.It was several years more before I fully realized the significance of what I had witnessed that night:Mom had demonstrated more clearly than any words could have what the love of a mother means.1.What were the boys supposed to do on the farm?A.To do the dishes.B.To prepare dinner.C.To look after the cattle.D.To help with farm work.2.How many people are there in the authors family?A.3.B.4.C.6D.8.3.When did the author go to the bathroom?A.At1a.m.B.At10a.m.C.At8p.m.D.At10p.m.4.Mom ironed clothes for the four boys late in the middle of the night because.A.the clothes were dirty after a day's workB.the clothes were spilt over by the supper soupC.the four boys were wearing them for the paradeD.the boys were too exhausted to do it themselves英语试题第2页(共16页)5.What is the theme of this passage?A.The love of a mother.B.The hardship of farm life.C.Boys are naughtier than girls.D.Action speaks louder than words.Passage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:This week,the governor of Connecticut proposed a statewide tax on sugar—sweetened drinks. Several cities have already enacted such soda taxes to raise money and fight obesity(肥胖).And there’s new evidence suggesting that these taxes do work—although sometimes not as well as hoped.Kris Madsen,an associate professor of public health at the University of California,Berkeley, is one of the researchers who has been studying soda taxes,in part because she’s convinced that sugary drinks are a threat to society,a direct cause of obesity.“It’s a pretty high bar for public health to be able to say that something is causing a major epidemic,”she says.“We can do that for sugar sweetened beverages(饮料).”Berkeley was the first U.S.city to tax those drinks,making them more expensive,and Madsen is leading a team of researchers that’s trying to see how the tax is working.“We’ve been going out to the same neighborhoods every year for the last five years,and we’ve been asking people the same questions,”she says.Researchers interview people on the street,primarily in low--income neighborhoods.They started doing this before the soda tax went into effect four years ago,and they’ve continued every year since.“We saw a52percent decline in consumption over the first three years”since the tax went into effect,she says.“This has a huge impact.”Madsen’s study was published online this week by The American Journal of Public Health.Mexico,in fact,put in place a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in2014.That tax is smaller than the soda taxes in the U.S.,and its effect on consumption also has been smaller.According to one study,consumption of sugary drinks fell on average by about8percent as a result of the tax.英语试题第3页(共16页)6.A statewide tax on sugary drinks was planned in this week.A.CaliforniaB.ConnecticutC.BerkeleyD.Mexico7.What is one of the reasons why the government put a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks?A.To collect money.B.To help poor people.C.To cut the consumption of alcohol.D.To support research on public health.8.We can infer from the passage that Kris Madsen believes that.A.soda taxes cause inflationB.soda taxes are harmful to societyC.rich people don’t drink sugar-sweetened beveragesD.sugar-sweetened drinks are harmful to public health9.The tax on sugar-sweetened drinks is less effective in Mexico than that in the U.S.becauseA.it’s enforced earlierB.its tax rate is lowerC.Mexicans drink less sodasD.Mexico is a small country10.What is the theme of this passage?A.The effect of soda taxes.B.The harm of sugary drinks.C.The greed of the government.D.The life of a university teacher.Passage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:Fabio Schvartsman,a well—respected businessman as yet,may now be the most detested man in Brazil.As chief executive of vale,a giant miner and the worlds largest producer of iron ore,it was Mr Schvartsman who had to face the public after the collapse of a company tailings (矿渣)dam in the town of Brumadinho on January,25th.186people are now confirmed as dead,with122still missing.英语试题第4页(共16页)So it was not a shock when,on March2nd,Vale said that Mr Schvartsman would step down. Tailings dams contain tonnes of waste material from mining operations.The design used at Brumadinho was known to be the least expensive and most risky.After a flood of waste burst from the Brumadinho dam,ripping through a staff canteen and submerging a valley in mud,the company tried to respond quickly.Its board suspended benefits for executives.It has made payments of100,000reais($26,000)to266families.Eduardo deSalles Bartolomeo,a Vale veteran,has been named interim(临时的)chief executive.He faces mounting problems.A crucial question is if Mr Schvartsman or other executives knew about problems with the dam.The firm maintains that they didn’t.Prosecutors (检察官)declare that Vale made a secret deal to hide the fact that the dam is in danger.Despite all these difficulties the firm may recover.That is partly because of Mr Schvartsman’s changes since he took over,in May2017.He reduced Vale’s debt and cut capital spending.With healthy free cash flow and low debt,Vale’s balance sheet can probably withstand even heavy government fines.The fundamentals in metals markets are also helping In the2020s, demand is expected to rise for iron ore in emerging markets and for nickel(another of Vale’s key commodities)in electric cars.That increases the odds of Vale surviving the disaster,even as victims remain Missing,buried in mud.11.What does the underlined word“detest”in Paragraph I mean?A.IgnoreB.AdoreC.HateD.Respect12.Why was it Fabio Schvartsman who had to face the public after the disaster?A.Because Vale is a giant miner.B.Because he was the chief executive.C.Because he used to be well-respected.D.Because the accident killed many people.13.What is the biggest problem that Eduardo desalles Bartolomeo faces after he has been appointed interim chief executive?A.The dismissal of Mr Schvartsman.B.Legal charges against the executives.C.The suspension of benefits for executives.D.Payments of100,000reais to266families.英语试题第5页(共16页)14.What may help Vale survive the disaster?A.Increasing Vale’s debt.B.Heavy fines from government.C.Putting Mr Schvartsman in jail.D.Rising demand for Vale’s commodities.15.Why did the company’s tailings dam in Brumadinho collapse?A.Because Mr Schvartsman cut Vale’s capital spending in May2017.B.Because there were tonnes of waste material from mining operations.C.Because the design of the dam was the least expensive and most risky.D.Because the executives of the company knew the risk of a dam breach.Passage fourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:Most people don’t think about backing up their computer until they experience the dread of a hard drive crash.It's only then that the sad reality of a life’s worth of photos,music,spreadsheets, contacts,and other files disappearing in an instant truly sinks in.Denis Gorbachev of Cloudberry Lab recommends the“3-2-1backup strategy in which you keep three copies of each important file;two of them on different external hard drives,stored in different locations,and one in the cloud.”Here’s a real-life example of how often you need to back up your computer from Jimmy,a wedding photographer at Pixelicious.He uses the3-2-1strategy to ensure his client’s special memories are both in the cloud and on external hard drives so that they never get lost.“Before leaving a wedding reception,I immediately pull one of the two memory cards from my camera and store it in my wallet.A backup of the images will[literally]follow me wherever I go!”says Jimmy.“Then,as soon as I get home,a copy of the files will be transferred to my desktop so that before the sun rises again,I already have three copies of my client’s images.”After editing, copies of the final images are immediately uploaded onto his cloud storage,while duplicate sets are transferred to external hard drives,one of which is stored in a bank’s safety deposit box Having multiple backups provides peace of mind.Your first computer back up may be a tedious(冗长乏味的)affair as all of your downloaded英语试题第6页(共16页)music,photos,and files get copied onto external hard drives and up to a cloud.But,that initial time and effort will save you from the dread of losing it all in a crash.From there,the ongoing back up process will become streamlined as additional files get copied to drives and backed up through automated methods.16.According to the“3-2-1backup strategy”,we need to keep altogether copies of our important files.A.1B.2C.3D.617.What do we know about Jimmy?A.He is a photographer.B.He is a

clearly.Studies have found that people perform some cognitive tasks better when the temperature is cooler.Research has also shown that people are less inclined to tackle complex tasks in summer than in winter.The brain requires glucose(葡萄糖)to function,but the body uses more of it in warmer temperatures to keep the body cool. That leaves less available fuel for reasoning and recall tasks.22..We know accumulating too much ordinary fat can endanger our health.But adults also have small amounts of beneficial“brown”fat that can help burn more calories--and cold temperatures can activate this brown fat.One study showed that participants who lowered their body temperatures simply by placing one foot in cold water did increase their brown fat cells. 23..If spring and summer make you sneeze,winter might be your new favorite season.Pollen (花粉)counts are virtually nonexistent in cold weather.Indoor allergies,however,can be worse during the winter.To ease indoor allergies,use a dehumidifier(减湿器)to maintain the humidity at home below50percent.24..Your body’s core temperature drops when you’re trying to sleep.This process can take up to two hours in summer,but it’s much faster in winter.Plus,with darker mornings,you naturally sleep later.25..Yes,you might get more colds during the winter.However,studies have shown that the immune system can be activated by colder temperatures,which enhances our ability to fight infections.That said,the flu virus thrives in cold,dry air,and time spent indoors increases your chance of infection.To reduce risk,get your annual flu shot,wash your hands frequently,and go outside.A.Eases allergiesB.Kills flu virusesC.Fights infectionses less glucoseE.Boosts your brainF.Activates healthy fatG.Encourages better sleep英语试题第8页(共16页)。

Part I Reading Comprehension(60points,60minutes)Section A Passage Reading(每小题2分,共50分)Format IDirections:There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40points)Passage OneQuestions1to5are based on the following passage:I was raised on a farm during the boom years after World War II,I was the third eldest in a family of six boys—no girls.We were all expected to help out around the farm with whatever needed to be done.My mom was no exception as she worked at any job necessary,while raising us six boys.In my thirteenth year,an event occurred that in hindsight would dramatically alter how I viewed my mom.It was a hot summer day.My dad,two of my elder brothers and I were busy in the field baling(打包)hay for our horses and cows for the winter.Mom remained at home looking after my three younger brothers.She was also there,however,to help offload the full hay rack as quickly as possible to help keep everything running smoothly.1About8p.m.,we headed home after a hard day’s work.Mom busily prepared a big supper for all of us at the house.After supper,we boys all took turns having a bath—the annual4-H day at the Swan River Fair was the following day and three of my brothers and I were marching in the parade at10a.m. Mom cleaned up the table and did the dishes by hand.By10p.m.we were all exhausted and ready to get to bed.Around1a.m.,I awoke to use the bathroom.As I staggered through the kitchen on my way there,I was bewildered to see that the lights were still on.To my utter amazement,there was Mom with her back to me busily ironing.On the table were four neat piles of clothes,including our marching uniforms for the parade.It was several years more before I fully realized the significance of what I had witnessed that night: Mom had demonstrated more clearly than any words could have what the love of a mother means.1.What were the boys supposed to do on the farm?A.To do the dishes.B.To prepare dinner.C.To look after the cattle.D.To help with farm work.2.How many people are there in the author's family?A.3.B.4.C.6.D.8.3.When did the author go to the bathroom?A.At1a.m.B.At10a.m.C.At8p.m.D.At10p.m.4.Mom ironed clothes for the four boys late in the middle of the night because.A.the clothes were dirty after a day’s workB.the clothes were spilt over by the supper soupC.the four boys were wearing them for the paradeD.the boys were too exhausted to do it themselves5.What is the theme of this passage?A.The love of a mother.B.The hardship of farm life.C.Boys are naughtier than girls.2D.Action speaks louder than words.Passage TwoQuestions6to10are based on the following passage:This week,the governor of Connecticut proposed a statewide tax on sugar-sweetened drinks. Several cities have already enacted such soda taxes to raise money and fight obesity(肥胖).And there’s new evidence suggesting that these taxes do work—although sometimes not as well as hoped.Kris Madsen,an associate professor of public health at the University of California,Berkeley,is one of the researchers who has been studying soda taxes,in part because she’s convinced that sugary drinks are a threat to society,a direct cause of obesity.“It’s a pretty high bar for public health to be able to say that something is causing a major epidemic,”she says.“We can do that for sugar-sweetened beverages(饮料).”Berkeley was the first U.S.city to tax those drinks,making them more expensive,and Madsen is leading a team of researchers that’s trying to see how the tax is working.“We’ve been going out to the same neighborhoods every year for the last five years,and we’ve been asking people the same questions,”she says.Researchers interview people on the street,primarily in low-income neighborhoods.They started doing this before the soda tax went into effect four years ago,and they’ve continued every year since.“We saw a52percent decline in consumption over the first three years”since the tax went into effect,she says.“This has a huge impact.”Madsen’s study was published online this week by The American Journal of Public Health.Mexico,in fact,put in place a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in2014.That tax is smaller than the soda taxes in the U.S.,and its effect on consumption also has been smaller.According to one study, consumption of sugary drinks fell on average by about8percent as a result of the tax.6.A statewide tax on sugary drinks was planned in this week.A.CaliforniaB.ConnecticutC.BerkeleyD.Mexico7.What is one of the reasons why the government put a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks?A.To collect money.B.To help poor people.3C.To cut the consumption of alcohol.D.To support research on public health.8.We can infer from the passage that Kris Madsen believes that.A.soda taxes cause inflationB.soda taxes are harmful to societyC.rich people don’t drink sugar-sweetened beveragesD.sugar-sweetened drinks are harmful to public health9.The tax on sugar-sweetened drinks is less effective in Mexico than that in the U.S.because.A.it’s enforced earlierB.its tax rate is lowerC.Mexicans drink less sodasD.Mexico is a small country10.What is the theme of this passage?A.The effect of soda taxes.B.The harm of sugary drinks.C.The greed of the government.D.The life of a university teacher.Passage ThreeQuestions11to15are based on the following passage:Fabio Schvartsman,a well-respected businessman as yet,may now be the most detested man in Brazil.As chief executive of Vale,a giant miner and the world’s largest producer of iron ore,it was Mr. Schvartsman who had to face the public after the collapse of a company tailings(矿渣)dam in the town of Brumadinho on January,25th.186people are now confirmed as dead,with122still missing.So it was not a shock when,on March2nd,Vale said that Mr Schvartsman would step down. Tailings dams contain tones of waste material from mining operations.The design used at Brumadinho was known to be the least expensive and most risky.After a flood of waste burst from the Brumadinho dam,ripping through a staff canteen and submerging a valley in mud,the company tried to respond quickly.Its board suspended benefits for executives.It has made payments of100,000reais($26,000)to 266families.4Eduardo de Salles Bartolomeo,a Vale veteran,has been named interim(临时的)chief executive. He faces mounting problems.A crucial question is if Mr Schvartsman or other executives knew about problems with the dam.The firm maintains that they didn’t.Prosecutors(检察官)declare that Vale made a secret deal to hide the fact that the dam is in danger.Despite all these difficulties the firm may recover.That is partly because of Mr Schvartsman’s changes since he took over,in May2017.He reduced Vale’s debt and cut capital spending.With healthy free cash flow and low debt,Vale’s balance sheet can probably withstand even heavy government fines. The fundamentals in metals markets are also helping.In the2020s,demand is expected to rise for iron ore in emerging markets and for nickel(another of Vale’s key commodities)in electric cars.That increases the odds of Vale surviving the disaster,even as victims remain missing,buried in mud.11.What does the underlined word“detest”in Paragraph1mean?A.Ignore.B.Adore.C.Hate.D.Respect.12.Why was it Fabio Schvartsman who had to face the public after the disaster?A.Because Vale is a giant miner.B.Because he was the chief executive.C.Because he used to be well-respected.D.Because the accident killed many people.13.What is the biggest problem that Eduardo deSalles Bartolomeo faces after he has been appointed interim chief executive?A.The dismissal of Mr Schvartsman.B.Legal charges against the executives.C.The suspension of benefits for executives.D.Payments of100,000reais to266families.14.What may help Vale survive the disaster?A.Increasing Vale’s debt.B.Heavy fines from government.C.Putting Mr Schvartsman in jail.D.Rising demand for Vale’s commodities.15.Why did the company’s tailings dam in Bmmadinho collapse?A.Because Mr Schvartsman cut Vale’s capital spending in May2017.5B.Because there were tonnes of waste material from mining operations.C.Because the design of the dam was the least expensive and most risky.D.Because the executives of the company knew the risk of a dam breach.Passage FourQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:Most people don’t think about backing up their computer until they experience the dread of a hard drive crash.It’s only then that the sad reality of a life’s worth of photos,music,spreadsheets,contacts, and other files disappearing in an instant truly sinks in.Denis Gorbachev of Cloudberry Lab recommends the“3-2-l backup strategy in which you keep three copies of each important file;two of them on different external hard drives,stored in different locations,and one in the cloud.”Here’s a real-life example of how often you need to back up your computer from Jimmy,a wedding photographer at Pixelicious.He uses the3-2-1strategy to ensure his client’s special memories are both in the cloud and on external hard drives so that they never get lost.“Before leaving a wedding reception, I immediately pull one of the two memory cards from my camera and store it in my wallet.A backup of the images will[literally]follow me wherever I go!”says Jimmy.“Then,as soon as I get home,a copy of the files will be transferred to my desktop so that before the sun rises again,I already have three copies of my client’s images.”After editing,copies of the final images are immediately uploaded onto his cloud storage,while duplicate sets are transferred to external hard drives,one of which is stored in a bank’s safety deposit box.Having multiple backups provides peace of mind.Your first computer back up may be a tedious(冗长乏味的)affair as all of your downloaded music,photos,and files get copied onto external hard drives and up to a cloud.But,that initial time and effort will save you from the dread of losing it all in a crash.From there,the ongoing back up process will become streamlined as additional files get copied to drives and backed up through automated methods.16.According to the“3-2-1backup strategy”,we need to keep altogether copies of our important files.A.1B.2C.3D.617.What do we know about Jimmy?6A.He is a photographer.B.He is a wedding planner.C.He is one of Denis’friends.D.He works for Cloudberry Lab.18.Where does Jimmy keep his client’s images after editing them?A.In the memory cards of his camera.B.In the memory cards in his wallet.C.In his desktop computer.D.In his cloud storage.19.What might people feel when they back up their files for the first time?A.Peaceful.B.Fearful.C.Bored.D.Confident.20.What can we infer from the passage?A.Hard drives crash frequently.B.Few people back up their computers regularly.C.The cloud is an unsafe place for your important files.D.Internal hard drives are safer than external hard drives.Format IIDirections:In the following passage,some sentences have been removed.For questions21to25,choose the most suitable sentence from choices A to G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices,which do not fit into any of the blanks.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(10points)We think of winter as cold and flu season,but the chilly temperatures have power fill biological upsides too.Here are some ways cold weather helps

Part I Reading comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section AFormat IDirections: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C andD. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet1.(2’*20=40 marks)Passage OneQuestion 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a brilliant holograph. It burns its way into your new acquainta nce’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and other popular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad(素描侧). One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “Well, er, that’s great. But it really isn’t me.” The crowd’s convincing echo of “Oh yes it is!” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world’s view of himself or herself in the napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people’s personalities so well. He said, “It’s simple. I just look at them.” Almost every fact of people’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move.First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, p eople’s heads are spinning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the world and get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data they deal with for a long time.1. People usually get the first impression of a person through ______.A. reading an article about him or her in a famous magazineB. getting acquainted with his or her beat friendsC. taking a brief look at his or her appearanceD. studying his or her personality carefully2. Why does the author say that Robert has a unique gift?A. He can draw the subject carefullyB. He can memorize the names of people instantlyC. He can illustrate the subject’s characteristicD. He can communicate with the famous people effectively3. What does the phrase “zeroing in on” most probably mean?A. relying onB. responding onC. acknowledging onD. grasping4. The puzzled look on the subject’s face suggests that ______.A. the artist’s drawing is out of subject’s expect ationB. the crowd treated the subject rudelyC. the artist failed to show his respect for the subjectD. the image of the drawing was too real to believe5. We can conclude from the passage that ______.A. one should never trust a person by his or her appearanceB. the first impression usually has a long lasting influenceC. the judgment based on the first impression is always reliableD. we can no longer make any sense of the information an handPassage TwoQuestion 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:My dad was a plumber for the public works department in our town, so from time to time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in class and seeing your dad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you? In junior high?One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer, and she would say things like, “that is gross!” I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.The girl lived a few streets away from us, and a winter day---the day her elder sister got married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom cracked and there was water everywhere. Her father called every plumber in the yellow book but nobody would come out because of the major snowstorm. His daughter told her father that my father was a plumber, and he called. My dad went over and took me with him(maybe he was hoping that the lawyer’s daughter would be nicer to me.)My father fixed the toilet, helped to clean up everything, and didn’t take a dime for the trouble. But as we were leaving, he told the girl “If I ever need a lawyer, I’ll be happy to call your dad.”As we walked to our car, he said to me, “Do you believe he didn’t know where the main shut-off valve was? What a dumb ass!”From that point on, her dad was known in school as Attorney Dumb Ass.When my husband and I bought our house, the first thing my dad showed him was the main shut-off valve.I have always been proud to say that I’m a plumber’s daughter.6. When her father came to her school and peeked through the classroom door, the writer might feel ________.A. pleasedB. embarrassedC. disappointedD. proud7. The girl’s attitude towards the writer can be best described as ________.A. unfriendlyB. doubtfulC. kindD. gross8. In her early teens, the only thing the writer care about was ______ .A. her studyB. her appearanceC. what her father didD. what the other girls thought9. Why couldn’t the lawyer find anybody to fix the toilet on that winter day?A. He had little moneyB. All the plumbers were too busy to comeC. There was a major snowstorm and nobody would come outD. One of his daughters was getting married and the house was in a mess10. What might the writer’s father think of the lawyer?A. GenerousB. IntelligentC. StupidD. RespectfulPassage ThreeQuestion 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it wit h the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled. Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller.Nanotechnology(纳米技术)is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Micro-machines too small to been seen by the eye are being designed to do many things. And these machines no larger than in diameter than a human hair, are extremely powerful. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命).Nano comes from the Greek word dwarf. A nanometer is one-billion of a meter, The period of the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers, which in equal to 100,000 nanometers. To understand this new technology, we have to get rid of the normal ideas of size and strength.Minute( 微小的) robots , called “nanorobots”are being developed in the revolutionize manufacturing. Instead of cars being produced on assembling line, for example, scientist predict that cars can be built in a giant container into which raw material and machines have been placed. Thousands of nanorobots will direct the process and tell the machine what to do. Micro-machines can also be used to make our environment safer. Today, poison chemicals are stored in containers or transported by trucks or trains. This is sometimes result in dangerous spills. But with nanotechnology, manufacturers could have their own tiny chemical factories. The produce would be no bigger than a sugar cube and would manufacture exactly the amount of chemicals needed at the moment. No chemicals would need to be stored. The workplace would be safer, and the environment would be cleaner.11. The author mentions guitar at the beginning of the passage in order to ______.A. introduce the knowledge of guitarB. introduce the topic of nanotechnologyC. show his or her own interest in musicD. describe the craft of making musical instruments12. According to the passage, why does the nanotechnology lead to the next industrial revolution?A. Micro-machines are tiny but beautifulB. Micro-machines are strong but smartC. Micro-machines are small but powerfulD. Micro-machines are cute and varied13. The word dwarf in Pra.3 is closest in meaning to ______?A. cleverB. slowC. quickD. minute14. With nanotechnology, where will cars probably be produced ______?A. On assemble lineB. In huge containersC. Inside the micro-machinesD. Inside the nanorobots15. Which of the following is NOT the causes leading to cleaner environment by adopting nanotechnology?A. There will be less dangerous spills.B. The amount of produced chemicals can be precisely controlled.C. Micro-factories need not store chemicals.D. The factories will be of large size.Passage FourQuestion 15 to 20 are based on the following passage:When Caroline heard the phone ring late in the evening, she knew it was something important. She listened as a park ranger explained the situation. Seven children were lost in the Pennsylvania wildness. Caroline pulled on the red jacket that said Rescue on it and called on her dog, Aly, a shepherd. She and Aly raced to their rescue truck and climbed in. Then Caroline put on the emergency light and stepped on the gas. She knew they had no time to lose.In the dark Pennsylvania wood, Caroline and Aly walked for hours to looking for sigh of children. It was a fierce autumn night, and she became cold and exhausted. Suddenly, she saw footprint ahead. In the cold, it was difficult for Aly to pick u p the children’s scent, but finally he found it and began to bark. Then two miles down the road, Aly began to yelp with joy, and Caroline began to run. There were the children. They were shivering and crying, but they were safe.Caroline and Aly are a specialized team with many amazing, life-saving rescues to their credit. She had always loved dogs and used to raise them as hobby. One day a friend suggested canine search and rescue team. Caroline and Aly makes an excellent team. Dogs have a great sensitivity to smell. She trained Aly to find the scent of humans underground and in open spaces. Caroline is a natural athlete who skis and mountain climbs, and she is highly skilled in wilderness survival. She and Aly can find people faster than a dozen human searchers can. Caroline can also speak seven languages, so she often translates for other rescue workers when she works in different countries.16. Which of the following can best describe the situation in Pra.l ?A. RelaxingB. UrgentC. IndifferentD. Ordinary17. Which of the following is NOT a factor leading to the difficult situation in Par. 2?A. Caroline got lostB. The weather was coldC.

Mark your answers on Answer Sheet1.(2’*5=10 marks)A dictionary contains a definition of friendship somewhere in the F’s between the words “fear” and “Friday”. An encyclopedia supplies interesting facts on friendship. But all the definitions and facts do not convey what friendship is really all about. 21__________ It is an experience that involves all the senses.22______________ It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands, It is the way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floating in the autumn air, a touch so strong that years of living could not pull them apart. Friendship is seen in a child freely sharing the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulder of another as they walk on the playground. Seeing friendship is not casual. It is watching for subtlety, but friendship is there for eyes that can see.23 __________It is heard in the words of two friends who squeezed in lunch together on an extremely busy day. It is the way they talk to each other, not the words. Their tone is unique.Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen. Friendship is felt in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, the slimy, wet kiss from the family dog. It’s a touch that reassures that someone is there,someone who cares. The touch communicates more than words or gestures. It is instantly understood and speaks volumes beyond the point of contact, to the heart.Friendship has a taste. 24 __________, the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully mixed and kneaded, then the quiet waiting as the dough rises. Hot from the oven, thebread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients. There is something else there, perhaps the thoughts of the baker as her hands knead the dough, or her patience as she waits for the dough to rise. Unseen and unmeasured, this is the ingredient that makes the difference. Warm, fresh from the oven with a little butter, the difference you taste is friendship.Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is an experience of the heart. 25 __________–a language without words, vowels, or consonants; a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the heart. Like air fills the lungs, friendship fills the heart, allowing us to experience the best life has to offer: a friend.A. Friend has a smell.B. It is the language of the heart.C. It tastes like homemade bread.D. The only way to understand friendship is through experience.E. Friend can be seen.F. It is a pat on the back from a teammate.G.
