AIf the word researcher brings to mind someone who works in a laboratory doing experiments or reads a11 day in a librar y,then meet Dr.Sylvia Earle.Dr.Earle has carried out much of her research deep under the sea.Her outstanding work at sea ha s included leading around 70 expeditions(探索)and spending over 6,500 hours under the water.no wonder she ha She also holds the world record for the deepest walk alone on the ocean floor at a depth of 381 metres.It’ｓs been given the nickname“Her Deepness”．As a child,Dr.Earle was always interested in wildlife and was never afraid to find out about nature.Her parents told her totouch animals and insects,and not to be afraid of them.When she was older,she was given the opportunity to develop this int erest thanks to scho1arships to study botany at university.She also took courses in sea diving and decided to devote herself t o marine(海洋的)biology.It was this decision and her determined character that led her to have a truly remarkable career.After several years of diving,Dr.Earle took part in a research expedition in an underwater laboratory.The laboratory wascalled a Tektite Habitat and it allowed divers to remain under the water to carry out research for weeks at a time.In 1970 anall-female group went on the sixth expedition of the Tektite II scientists-in-the-water programme.Dr.Earle was asked to lead the expedition.Along with another four women-three scientists and an engineer-she stayed in the Tektite Habitat for two wee ks.Marine life has always been at the centre of Dr.Earle’s work and she is highly respected for her authority in this field.She is often asked to give talks by environmental groups about marine life as well as her plan to create a global network of marine protected areas. What makes her extra special is that she doesn’t look upon her work as a job,but as her vocation(天职)in life.21.In what way is Dr.Earle different from most researchers we know about?A.She works in a laboratory doing experiments all day.B.She reads all day in a library.C.She carries out much of her research deep under the sea.D.She has broken lots of world records.22.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2？A.Dr.Earle’s interest in wildlife led her to a truly remarkable career.B.Dr.Earle’s success is chiefly due to her family background.C.Dr.Earle’s success is chiefly due to the scholarships to study botany at university.D.V arious factors have contributed to Dr.Earle’s success.23.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 3？A.Five women took part in the expedition.B.Five scientists took part in the expedition.C.Dr.Earle was an ordinary member of the group.D.The group stayed under water for three weeks.24.What does Dr.Earle hope to achieve in the future?A.To keep marine life at the centre of her work.B.To create protected areas in the oceans around the world.C.To travel around the world giving talks.D.To look upon her work as her vocation in life.BA paperclip,made of steel wire bent into a looped()shape,is an instrument used to hold sheets of paper toget her.This common device is a wonder of simplicity and function.But where did this simple,cheap,and practical invention come from?In the late 19th century,the most common way to hold papers together was by using a pin.Although the pin was an ine xpensive tool and was easily removable,it would 1eave holes in the ter,as steelvwire became more common,invent ors began to notice its elastic()feature.With this feature,it could be stretched and twisted into various clip-likeobjects.In the years just before 1900,quite a few paperclip designs appeared.The name most frequently associated with the paperclip invention is Johan Vaaler,a Norwegian inventor.However,Vaaler’s clips were not the same as the paperclips curr entlyin use.Specifically,they did not have the inside loop we see today.The familiar looped design was invented by Gem Manuf acturing Ltd.in England.This clip is therefore sometimes known as the Gem clip.Because of Vaaler,the paperclip played an important historical role in Norway.During World War II,Norway was occu pied by the Nazis.Norwegians were prohibited from wearing any symbol of their national unity(),such as buttons wi th the initials of their king.Thus,in protest,they started wearing paperclips to show their unity.The reason for doing this wassimple:Paperclips were a Norwegian invention whose original function was to bind together.After the war,a giant paperclip statue was put up in Oslo to honour Vaaler—even though his design was never actually produced.25.According to the first paragraphthe paperclip is________.A.made of paperB.for holding clothes togetherC.shaped like a pinD.inexpensive and useful26.One way the paperclip is better than the pin is that_________A.it is cheaperB.it is simplerC.it doesn’t damage the paperD.it can be removed more easily27.Which of the following best shows what the Gem clip looks like?28.The last paragraph is mainly about_________.A.how widely used Vaaler’s clip isB.how V aalers clip became a national symbolC.how the Nazis ruled the Norwegian peopleD.why Norwegians had the initials of their king on their buttonsCI was born on the last day of February.I’ve always felt sorry for February,squeezed between the big months of January( named for the Roman god Janus,keeper of gateways)and March(after Mars,the god of war).The first Roman calendar,it is said,had 10 months and no February.Beginning at the vernal equinox()with March,i t ended with December.In an agricultural society,winter was of little importance,and thus went undivided.January and February were added about 700 B.C.by the second king of Rome,Numa Pompilius.He made all the months 29 or 31 days,but shortened February,the last month of the year,by giving it only 28.Next,it was the church’s turn.In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII announced a new calendar in Europe.Many changes were ma de,but the Pope passed up yet another chance to give February equality with the other months.It’s messy,even dangerous,changing how we measure time,but Pope Gregory was hardly the last one to try.The League o f Nations received over 150 new calendar designs,and the United Nations has considered more proposals since.Each propos al involves something that supposedly modernizes the calendar.But I have a simpler proposal that won’t lead to chaos,and will correct the historical injustices against Februarymove the last day of January and the last day of March into February to make it a normal month with 30 days,and a respecta ble 31 on leap years().This would not add or subtract a single day from the calendar year.It’s a great idea.And unlike J ulius and Augustus,I won’t even demand a month named in my honor.29.The first Roman calendar had only 10 months because_________.A.February hated to be squeezed between the big monthsB.the god of war always fought with January and FebruaryC.the Romans did not like the cold winter weatherD.it was Considered unnecessary to divide winter30.Which of the following is closest to Numa Pompilius’calendar?31.The writer sounds_____in the passage.A.sadB.humorousC.happyD. angryDOne important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter’s kindergarten report car d.She got high praise for her reading,vocabulary and overall enthusiasm.On the other hand,We learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and computer skills,though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words tha t might be interpreted as negative()in describing her efforts.A number System indicates how she’s measuring up in e ach area without any mention of passing or failing.The debate over whether formal grades should be given to kids has long existed.At one level,the advantages and disadva ntages are obvious.A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing a t school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children.But as writer Sue Ferguson notes,Grades can deceive. ()The aim should be”to measure learning,not simply what a student can remember on a test.”The two aren’t the same-and if you doubt that as an adult,ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-s chool-level examinations.If you’re old enough,You’ve lived through this debate before.At one time,it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided.The intention behind that may have been good,but it ignored the fact that competition,and the will to come out on top,are essential components of the human condition.32.Which of the following seems to be weak on the daughter’s kindergarten report card?A.Reading.B.Vocabulary.C.Enthusiasm.D.Numbers.33.what did the teachers try to do when preparing the report card?A.Avoid using negative words.B.Describe the facts as they really were.e numbers instead of words.D.Avoid showing weak areas.34.What does the writer suggest by the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A.Most adults can pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.B.There’s no doubt that most high-school-level examinations measure learning.C.As an adult,you should not doubt your ability to pass high-school-level examinations.D.It’s difficult for most adults to pass high-school-level examinations without preparation.35.Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?A.Schools should not give formal grades to kids.B.Schools should give formal grades to kids.C.Giving formal grades to kids has no disadvantages at a11.D.It’s unfair to put children in direct competition with one another.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AThese are the Nicest Places in America, from tiny Hayesville, North Carolina to the city of Providence, Rhode Island. You really can find kindness all over the U. S.Yassin ' s Falafel House in Knoxville. TennesseeYassin Terou, who came to Knoxville in 2011, is a well-known local person. His falafel house won the Nicest Places in America contest in 2018 because it serves as a welcoming and safe place for people of every culture who are in trouble. Even though some people don't accept him for who he is, Yassin likes to give everyone a chance because he was given a chance to realize his American dream. Katy, TexasIn 2017, Katy, Texas was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. About 700 homes and 80 businesses were destroyed or damaged in the small town. Soon after it, local people and businesses immediately helped their neighbors recover.Kalamazoo, MichiganStudent loan debt （学生借贷） is an ever-present case for students looking to go on their education, but in Kalamazoo, it's not a problem. An organization funded by anonymous （匿名的） people called The Kalamazoo Promise pays for any student that attends Kalamazoo public schools to go to college. This town ' s amazing promise is keeping hope alive. Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore, MarylandEnoch Pratt isn't your typical library, it's more of a community service center. In a city with high crime, it offers help to people that get in trouble with the law. Volunteers, including local lawyers doing work without getting paid, serve hundreds of people every week. This library is writing a new chapter （篇章） for Baltimore.21. We learn from Paragraph 3 that Katy ___ .A. was completely destroyedB. lived through the storm safelyC. was recovered with anonymous people's helpD. was rebuilt by local people and businesses22. What gives Baltimore a new look?A. Enoch PrattB. V oluntary workC. The effect of law.D. Community service23. The Nicest Places in America are all ___ .A. related with disastersB. full of kindnessC. about the American dreamD. of the social public serviceBI wanted to lose some weight, and I also hoped to explore the countryside. So I agreed to join a local group of walkers around Aix-en-Provence called the International Hiking Club of Provence.Exercising in the gym was a dull choice in this beautiful place, and when the wind started to blow and the water temperature dropped suddenly, the romantic idea of an everyday sea swim would disappear in my mind. Luckily, that didn't happen very often.From time to time, the group organized imaginative hikes in the countryside around Aix---Mont St Victoire, The Luberon, The Calanques, The Durance valley and other places. The journey would be tough and tiring, and you need a good pair of walking shoes. At the same time, you also need an appetite （胃口） for amazing beauties and hearty conversations with local people and foreigners.My first walk led me down the side of a cliff （悬崖） to the Calanque of Sugiton. Those sea cliffs are the highest in France. It was a great challenge for legs and afterwards, I would enjoy a treat---a refreshing sea swim. Magic! Just our little group and a few locals shared the experience together.In another hike in Provence, the good smell of wild flowers led me up a local mountain in the Luberon.Lost in those beautiful flowers and the relaxing smell, I didn't even notice my tiredness. What a simple pleasure and treat for the senses!In Provence, there are hundreds of ways to explore through woods, valleys, and quiet meadows （草地）. Mont Ventoux---the largest mountain in the region is the next goal on my list. A friend goes there regularly by bike and loves it.My hiking experiences inspired the kids to try. They walked up Mont St Victoire and down a Calanque. They complained sometimes, but they also laughed a lot. And they couldn't wait to tell their friends about the experience.24. Why did the author join the group?A. To meet some new walkers.B. To swim in the sea with some friends.C. To learn how to lose some weight from others.D. To lose some weight and enjoy the countryside.25. Which of the following did the author do during her stay around Aix-en-provence?A. She swam in the sea every day.B.

A Trip to Provence with KidsCI ' ve been trying to write a journal about my visit to LEGO Movie World with my family. Now it is! It's 2019 and wevisited Legoland during our spring break. Since we only had five hours, we decided hitting our favorite places would be thefirst step of the tour.We really enjoyed our time in LEGO Movie World. If you haven't been there, I recommend it to you. There are somefantastic rides that you shouldn't miss.Ride 1: Unikitty's Disco Drop. Immediately to the left of the LEGO Movie World entrance, you can find Unikitty's DiscoDrop. Similar to the Beetle Bounce, this ride adds another touch of fun. As you move up and down the tower, the ride alsorotates （旋转）! The area is enjoyable as well, with all the crazy Unikitty color mixtures present.Ride 2: Masters of Flight. To the right of Unikitty's Disco Drop, there is a huge structure （建筑物）. Ifyou've seen The LEGO Movie , you'll recognize this structure as The Dog Cloud Cuckoo Land, where all the Master Buildersmeet.To get inside, you 'Il have to make your way around a maze （迷宫） to wait for your turn but LEGO does a great job tooffer you amusement a while you wait. You'll be greeted by some great structures and provided with a wall to leave yourmark on.Once finally inside the structure, you'll find the Masters of Flight ride. It begins as the seats rotate around and you will findyourself as part of the Emmet's Triple---Decker Couch Mech! While you experience THELEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part, get ready to feel like you're flying! You'll smell pine trees, the ocean, cotton candy andmore! It was certainly my favorite of all the new rides.At the end of the day, I felt Merlin Entertainment did an excellent job in repurposing this area to fit their idea of the LEGOMovie World. It looks fantastic. We are looking forward to coming back to this world.28. When the authors family experienced Unikitty's Disco Drop, ____ .A. they preferred it to the Beetle BounceB. they had to get through the maze firstC. they found the mixed colors unbeautifulD. they saw the ride rotate29.

The visit to LEGO Movie World.C. The excellent Merlin Entertainment.D. The review of THE LEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part.DWhen snack-food businessmen started selling fat-free products back in the 80s, they really achieved success.Consumers were interested in avoiding fat because it caused heart problems and made them fat. So the nonfat foods were adieter's dream! Fat-free chips and dairy products flew off the shelves. However, as it turned out, not many people becameslim and healthy from going on fat-free diets. In fact, not eating fat seemed to cause more health problems instead.There are many naturally fat- free foods. Fruits and vegetables are on the top of the list. They' relow in calories （ 卡路里 ） and are filled with beneficial vitamins （ 有益的维生素 ）. That ' s not the case with processed fat-free food.The problem with fat-free packaged food is that fat makes food taste good. With all the fat taken away, it tastes like cardboard. So, the producers have to add into all kinds of things to keep the taste ---like sugar, salt and artificial flavors （ 人造香精 ） Therefore, processed fat-free foods can actually end up containing more calories than the full- fat foods. Fruit canbe high in calories and sugar, too, but you nutrients （营养物 ） along with it. Processed fat- free foods don 't have a olotht eorf things.We know now that all fat is not evil. Fat helps control your nervous system and encourages bone health. Fat-free salad can actually make you lose your ability to process all the good nutrients in it.When you buy a fat-free product in the store, take a second to check the nutrient information on the package. If it contains sugar, salt or artificial favors --- or has more calories than the full-fat version---put it back on the shelf. Most of the time, you ' d be better -ef a tt ivnegr sthioen f,u wllhich tastes better and will satisfy you sooner---as long as you don't eat the whole box! 32. What is the difference between processed fat-free products and naturally fat-free foods? A. Naturally fat-free foods easily make people fat.B. Processed fat-free foods are usually low in calories.C. Processed fat-free foods are usually rich in vitamins.D. Naturally fat-free foods usually contain beneficial vitamins.33. What is the problem of fat-free packaged food mentioned in Paragraph 3?B. It has too few types.D. It tastes bad without other things added into it.“ evil ” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?C. Harmful.D. Dangerous.35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How to choose food wisely. B. How to live on a healthy diet.第二节 （共 5 小题 :每小题 2 分，满分 10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AIn 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy（识字）rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just plain bad.In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim—were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheon（名人堂）of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted audiencesfrom all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a singular writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.1．Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?A．They were difficult to understand.B．They were popular among the rich.C．They were seen as nearly worthless.D．They were written mostly by women.2．Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.A．his reputation in FranceB．his interest in modern artC．his success in publicationD．his importance in literature3．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To remember a great writer.B．To introduce an English novel.C．To encourage studies on culture.D．To promote values of the Victorian age.BEl Nifio, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Nifio, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Nifio in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱）in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Ninos come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施）can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道）make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Nino’s harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Nino, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.4．What can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?A．It is named after a South American fisherman.B．It takes place almost every year all over the world.C．It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.D．It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.5．What may El Ninos bring about to the countries affected?A．Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.B．Droughts become more harmful than floods.C．Rich countries’ gains are greater than their losses.D．Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.6．The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that_________.A．more investment should go to risk reductionB．governments of poor countries need more aidC．victims of El Nino deserve more compensationD．recovery and reconstruction should come first7．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To introduce El Nino and its origin.B．To explain the consequences of El Nino.C．To show ways of fighting against El Nino.D．To urge people to prepare for El Nino.CFor Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion —they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”8．What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?A．It promoted the sales of artworks. B．It attracted a large number of visitors.C．It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D．It aimed to introduce Chinese models.9．What does Hill say about Chinese women?A．They are setting the fashion. B．They start many fashion campaigns.C．They admire super models. D．They do business all over the world.10．What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?A．learning from B．looking down on C．working with D．competing against 11．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Young Models Selling Dreams to the WorldB．A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New YorkC．Differences Between Eastern and Western AestheticsD．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion TrendsDCalifornia has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.12．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.B．The increasing variety of California big trees.C．The distribution of big trees in California forests.D．The influence of farming on big trees in California.13．Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?A．Ecological studies of forests.B．Banning woodcutting.C．Limiting housing development.D．Fire control measures.14．What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?A．Inadequate snowmelt. B．A longer dry season.C．A warmer climate. D．Dampness of the air.15．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California SoonC．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?D．Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The other night I had dinner with my friend Kim, who in midlife is trying to change her career. She has spent decades as a successful photographer, but she knows it’s time to do something different. What, ____41____ , is she qualified to do, besides photography? “I’m good at parties, ” she told me with a shrug. “And parallel parking.” We refilled our wineglasses and laughed really hard as we dreamed up the various careers in which that particular ____42____ might be useful.Here's a(n) ___43_____ exercise: Ask yourself what you’re good at, aside from the skills you6use at work. After my conversation with Kim, I put this question to a handful of friends and got______44__ ranging from “finding restaurants for people” to “spotting terrific old chairs.” The more I think about my own answer to this question, the more confused I seem to get.A year ago this month I _____45___ a job, and a career, which brought me great satisfaction for more than two decades.

If you are really good at your job for a long enough time, you begin to ____49____ that you can be good at any job and therefore can easily jump from one thing to another, switching horses in midstream.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)People have relied on the forests of the Yucatan Peninsula for thousands of years. The ancient Maya who built the great cities of Tikal，Palenque and Calakm ul used the region’s trees for building material and fuel wood. But populations on the peninsula grew so large that by around A.D. 900，the Maya had deforested large areas, leading to frequent natural disasters. Eventually they were forced to abandon most of their cities entirely. Today, Yucatan forests are home to around 500 kinds of trees.But only a few of those---including the mahogany Swietenia macrophylla, with its beautiful, workable and rot-resistant wood---are real moneymakers. One large trunk can net $1,000 or more. And because it grows in isolated groups, it’s an easy species to harvest selectively. “Mahogany is king, ” says Ellis.Noh-Bec is not ancient; it was founded in the 1930s by chicleros —people who made their living mainly by harvesting natural chewing gum from chicle found in trees rich in the Yucatan. They began to see mahogany’s value in the late 1970s and early ’80s, when communities regained the power to manage their own forests under the existing ejido system. In ejidos, elected councils run parcels of land, though government regulations still limit what they can do. Noh-Bec8community members capitalized on their autonomy by building a sawmill and, later, charcoal furnaces to process and market furniture and other wood products.In 1993, the community also became the first forest certified as sustainably harvested by the Forest Stewardship Council, earning it a profit in international markets. Noh-Bec’s profits now come mainly from cutting and selling mahogany to developed world customers who want to know that their purchases don’t contribute to deforestation.56. What did the Maya do that finally led them to desert most of their cities?A. They found more valuable trees.B. They ignored the natural disasters.C. They overused the Yucatan forests.D. They kept the population under control.57. What does Ellis mean by “mahogany is king”（in paragraph 2)?A. Mahogany is among the trees that will bring people fortune.B. Mahogany is one of the biggest kinds of trees in Y ucatan.C. Mahogany is a species that exist in Yucatan in the largest quantities.D. Mahogany is regarded as a kind of trees that appeal to visitors most.58. What can we learn from the passage about Noh-Bec?A. It has a history of more than 100 years.B. It funded the Forest Stewardship Council.C. It was totally independent of the government.D. It cuts trees in a way that is friendly to the forest.59. The best title of the passage might be .A. An ancient communityB. Money treesC. A profitable forest.D. Harm of deforestation.(B)9As an archaeologist at Florida State University, Jessi Halligan and her team made a discovery, reported this past spring, in the Florida section of the Aucilla River.Deep in a sinkhole, buried in a pile of sand and mastodon dung was a small, ancient knife used for hunting and cutting meat from the bone. The dung dates back roughly 14,500 years—some 1,500 years before the Clovis people, who were long thought to have been America’s first human residents.Discover caught up with Halligan to learn more about the find and the world of underwater archaeology.Q: First off，what’s the impact of the Aucilla River knife discovery?A: A lot of us thought the Americas were populated by folks who came from Siberia across the Bering Land Bridge into Alaska and Canada. However，Canada wasn’t walkable 14,500 years ago—it was covered by ice. So if people were in Florida 14,500 years ago and there was no land route through Canada, then the first people who came to the Americas probably came by boat. Therefore, we really need to start re-examining when and where people came from and what we thought we knew. We don't have all the answers we thought we did.Q: Why did you decide to get into archaeology?A: To me, if s that combination of things: using your body as a tool to help you understand things, as well as using your brain to think about what those things meant and applying that to the big picture about people.Q: How many underwater archaeologists are there?A: For every 100 archaeologists, maybe one to five of them are underwater archaeologists, and most of them are shipwreck archaeologists. I’m one of only a few dozen maybe in the whole world who focus on landscapes that got covered by sea level rise or prehistoric settlements that were land but ended up underwater.Q: _______________A: The water’s really dark，so you can’t see very far, and you can’t have as many people working at the same time. Also, you can’t talk underwater, so you have to communicate through hand signals, which can slow things down.60. According to Halligan, in what way is the Aucilla River knife discovery important?A. It is among the discoveries that have been made by archaeologists like Halligan.10B. It can solve the mystery why Canada remained unwalkable 14,500 years ago.C. It pro vides a new perspective to think about America’s first human residents.D. It helps to answer where early Americans came from and when they arrived.61. What is special about Halligan as an archaeologist?A. She excels in water sports like diving.B. She studies the water area that used to be land.C. She focuses mainly on the research on shipwreck. 'D. She is interested in early human residents in America.62. Which of the following is most likely to be the last question?A. What are some of the challenges you face underwater?B. What has been misunderstood about archaeology?C. What appeals to you most in your job?D. What good does this job give to you?(C)For something so essential, water management is all too often lacking in advancement. Ifs about playing a waiting game—waiting for the rains to return in time and the reservoirs (水库）and groundwater reserves to refill.Often the rains do come. But in long-term cases waiting is highly dangerous. Witness the Cape Town water crisis. When “day zero” strikes—the day engineers turn off taps, in about 10 weeks----many will suffer, causing, potentially, social unrest and instability.The reservoirs that supply water to the city of Cape Town are nearly empty due in part to below-average rainfall for many years, but also, and maybe more importantly, because of increased “abstraction”---the city has grown (by almost 80% since 1995) and needs more water. But this is hardly a unique situation, with climate change projected to result in more frequent extreme droughts (干旱)and rises in urban population putting ever more pressure on limited water resources. In short, the climate is changing and cities are growing.Cape Town might just be the right moment to make a shift. Public awareness is high, hence11there is political willingness to come up with solutions. Often these are of the engineering variety. In Cape Town desalination plants are rapidly being built. But such a solution is expensive and often unsustainable. It has serious environmental impact and can increase water demand, leading to problems for future generations. The truth is that engineering options are seen as easier and less politically sensitive than actually managing water demand.More importantly, we have to change our ways. Look at Melbourne, for example. The city was severely hit by the millennium drought between 2001 and 2010, but it managed to reduce per-person water consumption by nearly 50% over this period. Some of the temporary water use restrictions were made permanent, transforming the city. The use of recycled water, reducing leaks, increasing efficiency and, most importantly, long-term planning all played a part. Public awareness and political will need to be in harmony. So, yes, householders should conserve water but policymakers can’t be afraid to take action，even when it includes (initially) unpopular measures.There’s no need for fatalism—we can prevent future water crises, instead of waiting for the rains to come or providing expensive, short-term engineering solutions. Or, even worse, going back to business as usual when the drought is over.63. According to the author, what has caused the Cape Town water crisis?A. Extreme droughts and demands for reservoirs.B. Below-average rainfall and “day zero” strikes.C. Climate change and urban development.D. Social unrest and instability.64. What does the author think of Cape Town’s building desalination plants?A. It may not win political support.B. It fails to be a permanent solution.C. It requires more advanced technology.D. It will not be understood by the public.65. What does “fatalism”（in the last paragraph) most probably mean?A. A problem whether engineering solution are feasible.12B. A belief that something unexpected will happen.C. A doubt whether the rains will come or not.D. A feeling that we can’t take control.66. Which of the following solutions to water crises is the author most likely to agree to?A. Finding more accurate ways to forecast when it rains.B. Restricting the amount of the water that people use.C. Looking for temporary water supplies.D. Increasing groundwater pumping.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Dear Children,As you know, for years I’ve planned to write up the memories I’ve been saving on paper since you were young.“Guess Who Gets to Keep the White Rat for the Summer?” was one of my favorites. ___________. We do have an interesting history with animals，don’t we?Now that you are grown and off having adventures with your own children, I’ve enrolled in a memoir-writing class. You know what? ___________I wake up in the middle of the night with just the right thought in my mind. Grabbing notepaper and pen, I go in the bathroom and write it down. But Tm having trouble getting back to sleep these days and find myself nodding off in my chair after dinner.I also carry around a notebook in my purse to capture the thoughts Tm coming up with during the day when I’m driving around or at the grocery store. The notebook takes up so much space in my purse!13Your dad is supportive, but it^ a mistake to let him read my articles while I'm composing them, I find. Last week he very nicely said, “I don’t like the way this sounds. Why don’t you say so-and-so?” and I didn’t handle it too well. In fact, I said, “Please! ___________9 I'm not changing it.”We are encouraged to be original, so instead of writing “I remember,” I said something like “The long-dormant brain cells were activated again,” and he said, “That’s corny. Why don’t you say 'sweet memories’?” To which I replied，“We’re supposed to be original. ‘Sweet memories’---that’s so everyday.” Later I decided it sounded ridiculous. But the right expression came—during the night. Naturally, I jumped up and got it written just the way I wanted.So, my dears, I’ve decided it’s fun to write and relive all the memorable times I’ve enjoye d in my life and to share the happy days of your growing-up years. ___________ And frankly, I think your dad misses me watching those great PBS shows with him. He says he’s lonesome. Enjoy the ones I’ve written because I’ve decided not to write any more me moirs.Love, MomIV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.The enduring power of print for learning in a digital worldToday's students see themselves as digital natives, the first generation to grow up surrounded by technology like smartphones, tablets and e-readers. We’ve seen students now equipped with school-issued iPads and access to e-textbooks. Given this trend, it might be assumed that students5 familiarity and preference for technology translates into better learning outcomes. But more and more studies show that it’s not always the case. So, there are some lessons that can be conveyed to us about prin t’s place in an increasingly digital world.We all read for many reasons. Sometimes we're looking for an answer to a very specific question. Other times, we want to browse a newspaper for today’s headlines. As we’re about to pick up an article or text in a printed or digital format, we should keep in mind why we're reading. There’s likely to be a difference in which medium works best for which purpose.One of the most consistent findings of the studies is that, for some tasks, medium doesn't seem to matter. If all students are being asked to do is to understand and remember the big idea or gist of what they’re reading, there’s no benefit in selecting one medium over another. But when14the reading assignment demands more engagement or deeper comprehension, students may be better off reading print. Teachers could make students aware that their ability to comprehend the assignment may be influenced by the medium they choose. This awareness could lessen the difference in students’ judgments of their performance co mpared with how they actually performed.In another experiment, researchers were able to create meaningful records of college students based on the way they read and comprehended from printed and digital texts. Among those records, it was found that a select group of undergraduates who actually comprehended better when they moved from print to digital. But they actually read slower when the text was on the computer than when it was in a book. Using this select group as a model, students could possibly be taught or directed to fight the tendency to glide through online texts.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 让我们陷入困境的不是无知。

The two main parts are headlined "love" and "partners". They also have an online version of the magazine for serious gossip addicts.Hola: It isSpain's top weekly magazine and the leader of the gossip world. It contains many pictures and a round-up of well-known and less well-known nobles and people in show business. Apart from edited highlights from the present and past issues, there is a report of the week and photo of the week. There is also a French version called OhLa!Revista CUORE: As the third best-selling gossip magazine inSpain, it is mainly aimed at younger teenage readers who look not only for current celebrity gossip, but also for fashion and TV news.

That is a question that many parents ask themselves. In my opinion, homeschooled kids can give reliable answers.Kayla Murray, who lives inGreensboroNorth Carolina, started homeschooling almost eight years ago, after attending two local schools. “Homeschooling is school at home,” like the name says, but it’s not just that/ she says. “You're able to learn more and do more.”Having experienced learning at both school and home, Kayla says that she prefers the latter. “With homeschooling, I can do schoolwork in my pajamas, and no one cares,” she says, “you also have more chances. Earlier this year, my family and I were able to take a short vacation and go to an air show. My siblings and I get to take the day off for our birthdays. This year, I spent that time reading and playing the piano and guitar.”There are, however,drawbacksof being homeschooled, Kayla says, especially “the lack of people”. While she doesn't miss homework, al school, she did enjoy getting to see my friends every day.”Matthew Dimmette, also fromGreensboro, used to be a homeschooler. He now attends public high school. He says being homeschooled is quite different from going to public school. The differences depend on how you arc homeschooled and the things you do. “For me, it wasn't really different in terms of the classes but the school environment was a big change atter hearting at home. says Matthew.Talking about his homeschooling experience, Matthew says the best part of it was being able to learn what he wanted to. Yet the main disadvantage was that he couldn't do many experiments in homeschooling unless taking classes at different places. “My interest in science has been growing quickly in recent years, so I chose to go to public school,” he says.4. What does Kayla like about learning at home?A. She can spend her time more freely.B. She can always stay with her siblings.C. She can play the instruments she likes.D. She can celebrate her birthday at home.5. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Concerns.B. Reasons.C. Changes.D. Problem.6. Why did Matthew choose to go to public school?A. He wanted to make more friends.B. He wanted to do experiments in labs.C. He wanted to take all kinds of classesD.He wanted to experience the school environment7. What in the authors attitude cowards homeschooling?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Uninterested.D. Unclear.CMany of us in China enjoy adding chilies (辣椒) toour food, but did you know that this spicy vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-oldUSman recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper—the spiciest chili in the world. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following few days, reported BBC News.In fact, reports of stomachache and headache caused by eating spicy food are not something unusual. But if chilies are harmful, why is it that human beings are the only animals to eat this vegetable? According to the website Huanqiu, about 600 million Chinese people—almost half of the national population—are chili eaters. So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body reacts to the burning feeling that comes from eating chilies by releasing natural chemicals that “produce a sense of happiness” , noted BBC News.And the benefits go even further than just personal enjoyment. A survey conducted by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The number decreased to 14 percent for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. And another study done by theUniversityofVermontcame to a similar conclusion. “The data encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and reduce death risk at an early age,” Liu Qi, a nutritionist at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, told BBC News.Chilies have anti-cancer quality and the ability to increase our metabolism (新陈代谢). So, don't worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us—except for the Carolina Reaper, perhaps.8. The example of a 34-year-old American is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to prove ________.A. chiliescan be beneficialB. chilies are popular inAmericaC. chilies can be dangerousD. serious headaches can be dangerous9. Eating chilies gives people a sense of happiness by_______.A. decreasing death rateB. releasing natural chemicalsC. curing serious headachesD. providing enough nutrition10. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Human are the only animals to eat chilies.B. Stomachache and headaches caused by chilies is something unusual.C. The more chilies you eat, the healthier you are.D. Chilies have anti-cancer quality but it can't increase our metabolism.11. The writer wrote the passage to ________.A. warn people of the dangers of chiliesB. ask people to eat Carolina ReaperC. encourage people to eat more chiliesD. tell people the benefits of chiliesDA PhD student inMichigandefended her paper while wearing a skirt madeof rejection letters she received while studying. 29-year-old Caitlin Kirby printed out 17 of her rejection letters — from scholarships, academic journals, and conferences — then folded each one into a fan. She connected them in rows, and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of a desire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The whole process of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of reminded me that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said. "A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth and environmental science atMichiganStateUniversity, also encourages the acceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for students to get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling of rejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comes their way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academic journal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things: Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urban agriculture inGermany.Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive a few more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "Maybe I'll make a longer skirt."12. What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?A. She received 17 rejections in total.B. 29 of her rejections were from journals.C. The rejections were connected into a fan.D. She made some rejection letters into a skirt.13. What is Julie Libarkin's attitude towards Caitlin's action?A. Favorable.B. Ambiguous.C. Skeptical.D. Opposed.14. Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?A. Creative and considerate.B. Caring and determined.C. Optimistic and humorous.D. Generous and intelligent.15. Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?A. Hard work pays off.B. Education is the entrance to success.C. Self-respect earns more respect.D. One needs to normalize failures.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
