However, help is now nearer at hand in form of the country's first automatic push-button shop. Now residents in the Derbyshire Village of Clifton can buy groceries around the clock after the huge vending was installed outside a pub in the village this week.Peter Fox, who is 9. electrical engineer, spent two and a half years working on the project.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.alert classify commit delicatelygentle impose labels moderation relieve signals simplyLet's say you've decided you want to eat more healthfully. However, you don't have time to carefully plan menus for meals or read food 17. at the supermarket. Since you really 18. yourself to a healthier lifestyle, a little help would come in handy, wouldn't it? This is where a "choice architect" can help 19. some of the burden of doing it all yourself. Choice architects are people who organize the contexts in which customers make decisions. For example, the person who decides the layout of your local supermarket—including which shelf the peanut butter goes on, and how the oranges are piled up—is a choice architect.Governments don't have to 20. healthier lifestyles through laws—for example, smoking bans. Rather, if given an environment created by a choice architect—one that encourages us to choose what is best—we will do the right things. In other words, there will be designs that gently push customers toward making healthier choices, without removing freedom of choice. This ideacombines freedom to choose with 21. hints from choice architects, who aim to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives.The British and Swedish governments have introduced a so-called "traffic light system" to 22. foods as healthy or unhealthy. This means that customers can see at a glance how much fat, sugar, and salt each product contains 23. by looking at the lights on the package. A green light 24. that the amounts of the three nutrients are healthy; yellow indicates that the customer should be 25. ; and red means that the food is high in at least one of the three nutrients and should be eaten in 26. . The customer is given important health information, but is still free to decide what to choose.完形填空（共15小题；共22.5分）Research has shown that two-thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion of the cultural or political problems of the day, not heated debates about films we've just watched or books we've just finished reading, but plain and simple 27 .Language is our greatest treasure as a species, and what do we 28 do with it? We gossip. About others' behaviour and private lives, such as who's doing what with whom, who's in and who's out—and why; how to deal with difficult 29 situations involving children, lovers, and colleagues.So why are we keen on gossiping? Are we just natural 30 , of both time and words? Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life? It's not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really 31 issues.Dunbar 32 the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural. Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don't spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk, argues Dunbar—33 , he goes on to say, language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the 34 of the higher primates(灵长类动物) like monkeys. By means of grooming—cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or 35 from outside it.As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar 36 that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group, the greater the 37 it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to 38 the pressure and calm everybody down.But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be 39 to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more 40 kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal(有声的) grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one 41 contact.27. A. claim B. description C. gossip D. language28. A. occasionally B. habitually C. independently D. originally29. A. social B. political C. historical D. cultural30. A. admirers B. masters C. users D. wasters31. A. vital B. sensitive C. ideal D. difficult32. A. confirms B. rejects C. outlines D. broadens33. A. for instance B. in addition C. on the contrary D. as a result34. A. motivation B. appearance C. emotion D. behavior35. A. attack B. contact C. inspection D. assistance36. A. recalls B. denies C. concludes D. confesses37. A. prospect B. responsibility C. leadership D. protection38. A. measure B. show C. maintain D. ease39. A. saved B. extended C. consumed D. gained40. A. common B. efficient C. scientific D. thoughtful41. A. indirect B. daily C. physical D. secret阅读理解（共12小题；共24.0分）AMost people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator(猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature". But maybe you can't trust her, either.42. A plover protects its young from a predator by .A. getting closer to its youngB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. pretending to be injured43. By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the authormeans .A. chimps are ready to attack othersB. chimps are sometimes dishonestC. chimps are jealous of the winnersD. chimps can be selfish too44. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.45. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Do Animals Lie?B. Does Mother Nature Fool Animals?C. How Do Animals Learn to Lie?D. How does Honesty Help Animals Survive?BLet's say you want to hit the gym more regularly this year. How do you make that happen? Consider putting the habit loop to use.Here's how it works:A habit is a 3-step process. First, there's a cue, something that tells your brain to operate automatically. Then there's a routine. And finally, a reward, which helps your brain learn to desire the behavior. It's what you can use to create—or break—habits of your own.Here's how to apply it:Choose a cue, like leaving your running shoes by the door, then pick a reward—say, a piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym. That way, the cue and the reward become interconnected. Finally, when you see the shoes, your brain will start longing for the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after day. The best part? In a couple of weeks, you won't need the chocolate at all. Your brain will come to see the workout itself as the reward. Which is the whole point, right?46. Which of the following best fits in the box with a "?" in THE HABIT LOOP?A. Pick a new cue.B. Form a new habit.C. Choose a new reward.D. Design a new resolution.47. According to THE HABIT LOOP, you can stick to your plan most effectivelyby .A. changing the routineB. trying it for a weekC. adjusting your goalD. writing it down48. What's the purpose of putting the habit loop to use?A. To test out different kinds of cues.B. To do something as a habit even without rewards.C. To work out the best New Year's resolution.D. To motivate yourself with satisfactory rewards.49. "This year when I see the Harry Potter poster, I will read 30 pages of an English novel or an English newspaper in order to watch TV for half an hour." What is the cue in this resolution?A. The Harry Potter poster.B. Reading 30 pages of an English novel.C. An English newspaper.D. Watching TV for half an hour.CIf you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality (虚拟现实) device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by agroup of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised(同步的) movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards—potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism—the bias(偏见) that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."50. The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to " ".A. buildingB. exchangingC. controllingD. transplanting51. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that .A. our feelings are related to our bodily experienceB. we can learn to take control of other people's bodiesC. participants will live more passionately after the experimentD. The Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes52. In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, .A. they fought strongly against racismB. they scored lower on the test for racismC. they changed their behaviour dramaticallyD. they were more biased against those unlike them53. It can be concluded from the passage that .A. technology helps people realize their dreamsB. our biases could be eliminated through experimentsC. virtual reality helps promote understanding among peopleD. our points of view about others need changing constantly阅读与表达（共4小题；共8.0分）More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want to be actively involved in good works.Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation.So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct (行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency(透明) in their operations. Increasingly, too, they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear. The idea of "doing well by doing good" has become popular.Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy?Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue(美德): it is just good business.根据短文内容填空，每空不多于10个词。

Thus, a person has to work more hours to pay for the same thing.For example, let’s say that this year a loaf of bread costs $1.00 and the average salary in the United States is $10.00 per hour. That means a person could earn enough money to buy a loaf of bread in one-tenth of an hour, or six minutes, Then, halfway through the year, The price of bread goes up to $1.25, while wages stay the same. That means that a person how has to work one-eighth of an hour, or seven and a half minutes to buy the same loaf of bread.Now let’s say that at the end of the year, wages go up to$11.00 per hour, but the price of bread goes up to $1.50. Now a person has to work more than one-seventh of an hour, over eight minutes to but the same loaf of bread. As you can see, if more and more work time is spent earning money to buy loaves of bread, employees will have less money left over to buy other things Inflation means that the same money buys fewer things and everybody’s standard of living goes down, even if salaries are going up.Some kinds of inflation are worse than others, Moderate inflation does not distort（扭曲）relative prices or incomes seriously, Galloping inflation happens rapidly, say at a rate of 100 percent or more within a year. And then there is hyperinflation－inflation so serious that people try to get rid of their currency before prices rise further and make the money worthless.

完形填空Saddleworth Moor in the north of England is a deserted place. Though lying just a few miles from the city of Manchester, it feels remote. There is generally a strong wind blowing across the moor! It seemed almost ___1___to me, then, that anyone should be against the building of seven wind turbines （风力发电机）to produce clean, renewable energy. Surely this was the perfect place to situate them---basically dull, unattractive to tourists and--- ___2___---windy. Yet Saddleworth is becoming another ___3___in an increasingly confusing debate over wind farming and the future of the planet.Typical of this ___4___ is hearing Professor David Bellamy leading the fight against wind farms. I had always thought of Professor Bellamy as an environmentalist and had made the___5___ assumption that he would be a natural supporter of wind power. However, ___6___, Bellamy would be better described as a conservationist whose main aim is to preserve natural space for plants and animals from destruction, rather than a campaigner on climate change.Bellamy, along with other opponents, has argued that the wind farms are in fact ___7___, and are only commercially feasible because they are so heavily subsidized （补贴）. This argument has been put forward by several newspaper commentators recently, who have then gone on to___8___ the virtues of nuclear power. This is in the face of years of protests from greens who claim that nuclear power is both expensive and ___9___. And yet nuclear energy has recently been ___10___ by a leading green scientist, Professor James Lovelock, who was one of the first to draw attention to the problems of climate change. He argues that renewable energy such as wind simply cannot provide sufficient electricity for our energy needs.But of course, it is ___11___to imagine that the good people of Saddleworth would prefer to see a nuclear power station on their doorstep rather than seven wind turbines. On average it takes six years to get planning permission for nuclear plants because of the inevitable protest. So what's the ___12___?Bellamy suggests reducing ___13___of fossil fuels if people want to control greenhouse gases. Certainly, he has much support for this from environmentalists. However, just a few years ago, the government was forced to ___14___ increases in taxes on petrol （汽油）because of a huge public outcry which saw the country almost brought to a stop. And at the heart of those protestswere those who said they ___15___ their cars and were being fairly punished by high fuel taxes. These same people reject wind farms because they see the turbines as something that spoils the countryside.1．A．clear B．odd C．important D．satisfactory 2．A．at last B．in other words C．above all D．as a matter of fact 3．A．battleground B．phenomenon C．experience D．dominance 4．A．energy B．production C．tourism D．confusion 5．A．basic B．widespread C．false D．realistic 6．A．on average B．on reflection C．in particular D．in detail 7．A．necessary B．outdated C．uneconomic D．public 8．A．forget B．question C．develop D．praise 9．A．clean B．safe C．irresistible D．dangerous 10．A．doubted B．advocated C．proved D．ignored 11．A．depressing B．possible C．difficult D．adequate 12．A．answer B．matter C．point D．cause 13．A．waste B．consumption C．price D．recycling 14．A．end B．mark C．consider D．sustain 15．A．relied on B．gave up C．made for D．picked out When it comes to anxiety over online data privacy, the first and most common legal solution comes to mind: more transparency. If firms are required to tell people what information they collect, and do so in a simple and obvious manner, people would be able to _____16_____ doing business with those that adopt abusive privacy practices.There is one _____17_____ with the transparency solution. There is no evidence that it works! (And there are mountains of evidence that it fails.) Even when the information people are asked to share is highly private and _____18_____, and even if the notices about the ways firms collect, use and share this information are delivered in the simplest and most concise manner, people still don’t read the notices and don’t change their _____19_____. A recent experiment tried to deliver the privacy notices to users in the format of a simple “nutrition facts” box, to no avail. The notice still went _____20_____ and people shared the same amount of sensitive personal information as they do when the notices are long and cluttered.If simple notices are not read or used by people, the hopes for _____21_____ choice flee. Users are not going to _____22_____ Google’s personalized ads or to personalize the Facebook’s privacy setting. These consumers might comparison-shop among services based on various quality and service measures, but not on the basis of _____23_____ features.It is also important to dispel a second perceived solution to privacy _____24_____: lawsuits. There are numerous class action lawsuits percolating in courts, alleging violations by websites of privacy statutes. Google,______25______, has long been defending against the complaints that its Gmail service, which scans the text of its users’ emails, is a violation of the Wiretap Act (窃听法). Many of these lawsuits eventually fail because they cannot prove a ______26______ injury. But even the few that succeed are not going to change the behavior of firms. They will only teach firms to write more ______27______ privacy notices and require more frequent clicks “I Agree” from users.A third legal solution fueled by privacy anxiety is the “right to be forgotten”. It gives users the right to request search engines to ______28______ links to personal information that are no longer accurate or relevant. Viewed by its ______29______ as a major landmark in privacy protection, the right to be forgotten mandate is ultimately proving to be a storm in a tea cup. In one year, Google reported to have received only 218,000 requests (or which it granted about half). Only a minor number of users are ______30______ sensitive to privacy issues to exercise the cherished right.16．A．avoid B．advise C．favor D．admit 17．A．proof B．problem C．possibility D．purpose 18．A．detailed B．sensitive C．adequate D．effective 19．A．mind B．decision C．behavior D．direction 20．A．invalid B．wrong C．round D．unread 21．A．preferred B．accepted C．informed D．obliged 22．A．opt out of B．make up for C．look forward to D．put up with 23．A．privacy B．advertising C．designer D．specific 24．A．policies B．protection C．risks D．terms25．A．by contrast B．in particular C．on average D．for example 26．A．severe B．fatal C．concrete D．external27．A．informal B．comprehensive C．informative D．unavailable 28．A．start B．attach C．remove D．build 29．A．initials B．advocates C．appeals D．motivates 30．A．sufficiently B．extremely C．comparatively D．appropriately Artificial intelligence (AI) has amazing potential to change the world, and we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface. As AI matures and people move further away from distinct programming and monitoring of systems, unidentified bias (偏见) might make decisions continue for a long time that cause ___31___ harm for individuals and society. This bias might ___32___ input data or even the algorithms (算法) themselves.All too often, data sets are incomplete and the sample represented in the data set does not___33___the population that the AI model is making predictions about—this is known as coverage bias. Some other types of bias related to input data include sampling bias, where data is not collected randomly from the target group, and participation bias, where users from certain groups ___34___ surveys at different rates than users from other groups. Still, another more challenging bias to identify is confirmation bias that occurs when a decision maker or analyst has a strong ___35___ belief or experience that affects their ability to consider alternatives. This could lead one to more strongly ___36___ data that confirms a preexisting belief.Bias resulting from AI algorithms themselves, or algorithmic bias, is equally ___37___. One example of algorithmic bias is implicit bias or unconscious bias, where data scientists ___38___ make associations or assumptions based on their mental models and memories that affect data modeling decisions. Implicit bias can ___39___ how data is collected and classified, or how systems are designed and developed. As machines learn, their conclusions and decisions affect people. Ethical (道德的) AI must understand these impacts and create governance and testing methods to ___40___ mistakes and inaccuracies.To create ethical AI, companies need to put the ___41___ of the individual at the center of data innovation. This means thinking about ___42___ rights as human rights and developing a comprehensive approach to data, including how we use AI.Having ___43___ data practices for AI means having good AI governance. This governance not only focuses on data and analytics but also understands the impacts of any given analysis and makes sure it’s ___44___ and accurate. Good AI governance includes data responsibility as wellas a commitment to transparency (透明性).None of this will be easy, but true innovation never is. By coming together and working on the problem of bias now, before it becomes a(n) ___45___ force, businesses can help bring out the best AI has to offer the world.31．A．theoretical B．psychological C．disproportionate D．unintended 32．A．arise from B．contribute to C．take over D．make up 33．A．inspire B．match C．protect D．restrict 34．A．quit B．administer C．compare D．analyze 35．A．distinct B．predictable C．original D．widespread 36．A．restore B．imply C．miss D．favor 37．A．embarrassing B．dangerous C．relevant D．ridiculous 38．A．intentionally B．temporarily C．automatically D．appropriately 39．A．influence B．help C．attract D．predict 40．A．admit B．define C．address D．publicize 41．A．belongings B．expressions C．characteristics D．needs 42．A．civil B．digital C．legal D．natural 43．A．frequent B．responsible C．peculiar D．graceful 44．A．fair B．quick C．appealing D．adequate 45．A．leading B．innovative C．cultural D．destructive There aren’t enough resources to identify and cure the factors that are causing populations of animals around the world to decline. Artificial intelligence might have the power to change that.When an endangered seabird hits a power line, it ____46____ “very much like the laser noise from Star Wars,” says preservation biologist Marc Travers. He should know, as his team from the Endangered Seabird Recovery Project recorded thousands of hours of audio to determine if power lines ____47____ local seabirds. Travers was trying to establish how ____48____ birds were killed by power lines on the island of Kauai in Hawaii in 2011.His team recorded 600 hours of audio and sent the recordings to Preservation Metrics, a company that assists preservation efforts with AI ____49____. Preservation Metrics used a program to “listen” to the recordings and check off the sounds that signified bird electrocutions (电击). The result was ____50____, as the number of bird electrocutions was in the thousands.____51____ proof that power lines were killing a significant number of birds, the team worked with the local utility (公共设施) service to reduce bird deaths.In science fiction stories such as The Matrix, AI-powered machines take over the world and end life on the planet as we know it. But ____52____, programs that use AI to sort through mountains of data might just save some species from disappearing permanently.By many ____53____, humans have been poor keepers of the planet. Humans have altered as much as 97 percent of land ecosystems. Key populations of monitored animals have declined as much as 68 percent since 1970. The decline in ____54____ around the world has created a miserable situation. Preservation efforts ____55____ key resources they need to be effective.Humans, ____56____, fortunately have AI-based tools that can help now. AI can quickly and accurately sort through large amounts of data created by observations in the field. Then other programs such as PAWS (Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security) can help analyse the data and suggest the most effective ways to focus preservation efforts.In large national parks and wildlife reserves, ____57____ hunters are a danger for animals both big and small. Some animals are worth a lot of money on the black market. Park keepers are left with a(n) ____58____ task because there is too much land to cover. But the PAWS programme allows park keepers to focus their efforts. PAWS has even ____59____ the existence of trap lines in areas not yet watched by park keepers!We still face many challenges to ____60____ the loss of wildlife, but AI-powered programs promise to be a powerful preservation tool.46．A．makes a sound B．catches fire C．keeps the distance D．takes chances 47．A．affected B．preserved C．recorded D．attracted 48．A．unlawfully B．instantly C．frequently D．deliberately 49．A．fiction B．significance C．factors D．resources 50．A．deceiving B．doubtful C．desirable D．disturbing 51．A．Engaged in B．Qualified for C．Armed with D．Exposed to 52．A．in addition B．in reality C．in return D．in fact 53．A．measures B．programs C．services D．species 54．A．biodiversity B．production C．population D．economy 55．A．distribute B．pool C．lack D．exploit56．A．meanwhile B．however C．otherwise D．besides 57．A．big-game B．professional C．local D．illegal 58．A．impossible B．dangerous C．urgent D．thankless 59．A．disproved B．explained C．predicted D．ignored 60．A．estimate B．reverse C．experience D．sustain It was thought that Microbes (细菌) in sediments — solid material that settles at the bottom of a liquid beneath the seafloor died above 80°C, but scientists have found some that can survive up to 120°C and possibly higher temperatures. The discovery shows that life in seafloor sediments can survive higher temperatures than previously thought.“I would think that wherever there’s energy that can be exploited by microorganisms,____61____ find(s) a way.” says Tina Treude at the University of California, Los Angeles. It is possible that there is life at even higher temperatures. “The only way to find out is to go back and ____62____ deeper,” she says, though in lab experiments so far, no microbes have been found to grow above 122°C．The researchers were also able to ____63____ out and count cells using a special device. Together, the findings show that relatively few cells survive at these temperatures, but those that do have very high metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates. “It was astonishingly high,” says Treude.This surprised the team because it is the ____64____ of what has been found in shallower sediments, where it is much colder. Microbes are ____65____ there, but their metabolisms are extremely slow and individual microbes might live for millions of years. At 120°C, the heat is doing a lot of damage to cells, so microbes may need high metabolisms to generate enough energy to repair this damage. It is a(n) ____66____ to stay alive, says Treude.It isn’t clear what these heat-loving, or thermophilic, microbes are, as the team was unable to ____67____ their DNA．Nor is it clear how they came to be in the sediments, given that this would have been a very cold environment for a long time after the sediments that the samples came from were first ____68____.However, a few thermophilic microbes would have been present when the sediments were deposited, and they may have somehow ____69____ until temperatures began to rise due to being _____70_____ under more material, says team member Felix Beulig at Aarhus University inDenmark.As the temperatures rose, all the microbes that weren’t _____71_____ of heat would gradually have died off, says team member Florian Schubert at the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam. “The microbes that cannot _____72_____, they just die,” he says.Patrick Forterre at the Pasteur Institute in Paris says that while there are _____73_____ results showing microbe growth at 106°C, nobody has been able to exactly copy the two lab studies claiming growth at 122°C．“It’s very difficult to _____74_____ the upper temperature limit,” he says.He is therefore _____75_____ of the idea of microbes living normally at 120°C, but he does think it is possible that they could somehow survive and became active again at lower temperatures. 61．A．life B．energy C．bacteria D．voyage 62．A．think B．research C．practise D．drill 63．A．spread B．figure C．separate D．reach 64．A．opposite B．evidence C．coincidence D．resemblance 65．A．moderate B．existent C．swift D．plentiful 66．A．game B．approach C．race D．solution 67．A．explode B．identify C．locate D．attack 68．A．formed B．deposited C．tagged D．covered 69．A．stuck on B．moved away C．died off D．run out 70．A．exposed B．removed C．buried D．washed 71．A．tolerant B．afraid C．tired D．careful 72．A．translate B．adapt C．escape D．furnish 73．A．various B．false C．reliable D．different 74．A．pass B．break C．outstep D．determine 75．A．capable B．doubtful C．sick D．Ignorant参考答案：1．B2．C3．A4．D5．C6．B7．C8．D9．D10．B11．A12．C13．B14．A15．A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

need.A.dipmonC.desiredD.additionE.embarrassingF.carefullyG.muddyH.fedI.accessJ.raisingK.benefitDucks offer certain advantages over hens.Ducks are immune to some41diseases found in hens.Some breeds of duck produce bigger eggs than hens.In42,ducks lay eggs over a longer season than hens do.Poultry(禽类)keepers with gardens have less to worry about if they keep ducks rather than hens because the former are unlikely to dig up plants and destroy roots.While both hens and ducks43the garden by eating pests,hens are known to damage grass beds.Ducks,on the other hand,will search for insects more44.Only very delicate plants are at risk from the broad,webbed feet of ducks.Like all waterbirds,ducks need45to water,and duck keepers typically provide this by building a pond.Something this large is not absolutely necessary,however,ducks need only to be able to46their heads in the water to keep their nose clean.If a pond is provided,though, it is important to keep baby ducks away from it until they are old enough to put up with the cool temperature of the water.When47ducks,one has to consider just how many the land will support.The rule is generally about100ducks per acre.If more than this proportion is introduced,there is a risk of pressing the soil,which can lead to48conditions for long periods as the rain is not easily absorbed into the ground.While ducks offer many advantages over hens,they must be given a greater quantity of food, especially if regular eggs are49.An adult duck will eat between170to200grams of food a day.If the ducks live near grass and a pond,they will be able to find for themselves approximately70%of their daily dietary requirements in warmer months but less than half that in colder times.Therefore,it is important that they be50on enough food,such as grain, every day.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.More and more shoppers are buying things online these days,allowing them to avoid51 salespeople and long lines at checkout counters.In spite of online convenience,52,there are some items—like clothes—that customers prefer to53before buying.In light of this, two companies are finding ways to modernize stores and54the gap between online and in-store retail(零售).A software company that also happens to sell designer jeans,Hointer has created a fast and painless shopping55for its customers.Shoppers walk into a Hointer store and select one of the many pairs of jeans56down from bars.Then they point their smartphones at the tag and57the Hointer app,after which they select the size and press“try on.”The app then directs them to a specific dressing room.German-made robots bring out the58jeans and deliver them through a chute(斜槽) to the dressing room in about30seconds.Immediately after59pairs of jeans are dropped through another chute,the“outbox,”they disappear from the list in the app.Purchases at Hointer are made with a swipe(刷卡)of a credit card.And interacting with a salesperson is optional!This allows Hointer to hire fewer people and focus on their ultimate goal: developing60that supports a retail revolution.Men’s clothing retailer Bonobos has61a more personalized shopping experience. Although it is—in fact—an online retailer,Bonobos has decided to open a handful of brick-and-mortar stores called Guideshops.Shoppers make a(n)62online before arriving at a Guideshop,where they receive one-on-one63from a fitting guide.Because these shops have limited inventories(存货),shoppers aren’t able to take home the outfits they select.But guides help shoppers make online purchases before they leave,after which the items will be64 to customers in one or two days.While Hointer focuses on convenience,Bonobos Guideshops focus on customer service.But both efforts have one thing65:giving clothing retailers a new look for the21st century.51.A.respectable B.considerate C.aggressive D.violent52.A.however B.therefore C.anyway D.moreover53.A.convince B.guarantee C.ensure D.examine54.A.break B.bridge C.shallow D.deepen55.A.experience B.mall C.direction D.principle56.A.hiding B.hanging C.storing beling57.A.start B.upload C.save D.download58.A.desired B.well-designed C.promoted D.well-prepared59.A.qualified B.wanted C.chosen D.unwanted60.A.employment B.efficiency C.technology D.markete up with B.looked forward to C.looked up D.brought up62.A.decision B.appointment C.contribution D.impression63.A.contact B.instruction C.notice D.attention64.A.presented B.packaged C.delivered D.transferred65.A.in conclusion B.in common C.as usual D.in generalSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Any snakebite can be dangerous if infection sets in.Some types of snake poison make the bite area swollen(肿胀的)or painful.Others cause bleeding or damage the heart’s nerves.Here are some especially dangerous snakes:The largest of all poisonous snakes,king cobras can reach5.5meters in length.Each king cobra bite contains enough poison to kill an elephant—or20people.But these big snakes usually avoid people.They live throughout India,southern China and Southeast Asia.A bite from Australia’s inland taipan,the world’s most poisonous snake,releases enough poison to kill100men.The good news is that people rarely come in contact with this snake,and a treatment for its poison exists.Russell’s viper lives throughout Asia,including India,southern China,and on the island of Taiwan.It prefers grassy fields but can be found in forests and urban areas.It bites more people and causes more deaths than any other poisonous snake.Though short,the common Indian krait packs a powerful punch(攻击)in its bite.Most often, it strikes people at night while they are sleeping.Since the bite causes little pain,victims are often not sure that they have been bitten until they begin to experience stomach cramps(痉挛). Without treatment,symptoms will worsen quickly and can lead to death.The black mamba,a native of Africa,is actually olive or grey in color.Only the inside of itsmouth is black.When black mambas feel threatened by a human,they make a loud hissing sound to warn the person away.If the warning is ignored,the snake will attack the person repeatedly. And they can attack quickly,moving over the ground at speeds of up to20kilometers per hour.66.According to this article,what is a particular feature of the king cobra?A.Its seasonal changes.B.Its lack of movement.C.Its sense of hearing.D.Its remarkable size.67.According to this article,which of the following is known for its speed?A.The inland taipan.B.The black mamba.C.The Indian krait.D.The Russell’s viper.68.What does the article imply about the inland taipan?A.It was once believed to be extinct.B.A chance meeting with it could be fatal.C.Some people keep one as a pet.D.Very little is known about its behavior.69.In which magazine would you most likely find this article?A.Let’s Explore NatureB.Weekly Travel DigestC.Psychology MagazineD.Global Warning News(B)Basketball,baseball and soccer are classic sports that people will always enjoy.And yet we keep changing popular games like these in new ways to keep them fresh.Underwater hockeyThis game is played in swimming pools withtwo teams of six players.Each player hasflippers(蛙鞋),a snorkel and a stick used forhitting a puck(圆盘).Each team earns pointsby hitting the puck into its underwater goal.Other team members must be ready to takethe puck when a team member goes up forair.That makes underwater hockey a trueteam sport.ChessboxingA sport can also be revised by mixing it withanother game.In chessboxing,two playerscompete on the chess board and in the ring.First,their minds are tested in a game of chess.Then they use their strength in a round ofboxing.They repeat this for11rounds.Thewinner beats the loser in chess,knocks himout while boxing or gets more boxing points.阳光高考门户Though these sports may not be common,give them a look or even a try.70.Why does the author think Underwater Hockey is a true team sport?A.Because all players in a team wear the same flippers and use a stick to hit a puck.B.Because each player in a team has to cooperate with other team members in the match.C.Because it is played underwater,the game is more dangerous than the sports played on land.D.Because each team earns points by hitting the puck into its underwater goal.71.In Chessboxing,the winner will be the one who _____.A.wins both in chess and in boxingB.defeats his opponent in chessC.wins in chess or in boxingD.can knock his opponent out of the boxing ring72.According to the article,at most how many players in all can take part in a Bossaball match?A.4.B.6.C.8.D.10.73.In Cycleball,the author mentions catch ,whose meaning may be _____.A.sportB.skillC.ruleD.practice(C )Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind.According to recent polls (民意调查),sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy.Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness.It is not predictable,nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy.The ideal situation may have little to do with hisCycleballAnother fun game to watch,cycleball is likeindoor soccer on wheels.Each player rides aspecial bike designed for the game.Likesoccer,a team must put the ball in a goal.However,there is a catch .The ball can onlybe touched with the bikes’wheels or theplayers’heads.This game requires a lot ofpractice to learn the skills needed.BossaballThis exciting sport is part volleyball and part soccer.But unlike both of those sports,players jump up and down throughout thegame.That’s because it’s played on aninflatable (可充气的)volleyball court with atrampoline on either side of the net.Oneplayer bounce on the trampoline while up tofour others stand around it.A team cantouch the ball six times before sending itback across the net.Each player may touchthe ball once with arms or twice with otherbody parts.actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness.Though both may contribute,they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes.People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school,and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives.Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness.Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone.Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have,and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods,but are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula(准则)for happiness is to be able to develop AQ(Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble),to have a personal involvement and commitment,and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.74.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.A.happiness is neither predictable nor apparentB.a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC.the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income groupD.happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in society75.According to the article,happiness is greatly dependent upon_____.A.a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likesB.great wealth with which one can buy anythingC.a feeling that conditions are becoming for the betterD.a college degree that can help one achieve great success76.The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean_____.A.ambition to defeat others in a severe competitionB.ability to overcome difficulty and get out of embarrassing situationC.methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in lifeD.attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble77.The best title of this passage may be_____.A.What Does Happiness Consist inB.Happiness and UnhappinessC.Different Kinds of HappinessD.Causes of Happiness and UnhappinessSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements inthe fewest possible words.Millions of personal computers across the world are running at this moment,but most are using just a fraction of their full capacity to process information.Imagine what could happen if the spare power of these millions of machines were used to solve global problems.The organization Charity Engine attempts to do just that.It enables researchers and companies to use the extra computing power of thousands of personal computers.These companies pay a usage fee that goes to carefully selected charities.The computersCharity Engine offers a free app that has the user’s computer do research as a background task.The program runs automatically,without direction from the user.Each computer works on a small chunk of a larger project and sends back its results.The results are combined to answer the researchers’questions.The researchersCharity Engine mostly uses its computing power for companies doing scientific,medical or commercial research.For example,Rosetta@home attempts to help find cures for serious diseases by discovering the shapes of proteins.Another project,Einstein@Home,tests scientific theories.And another helps establishments in Africa such as universities search for ways to fight the spread of malaria.The CharitiesCharity Engine gives50percent of the profits from renting out computing power to various charities.Each organization it supports has a good reputation for working in an area of vital importance.Most of them seek to address the primary causes of poverty while bringing short-term relief.These include Oxfam,a network of organizations in94countries.Another is CARE International,one of the three largest international aid agencies,which works in87 countries.Charity Engine also supports Doctors Without Borders,which supplies medical care, and WaterAid,which provides safe water and promotes hygiene(卫生)in developing countries.

高考英语阅读理解和完形填空训练2 (2)

落堕市安心阳光实验学校2014高考英语阅读理解和完形填空训练（5）（含答案）It is physically impossible for a well－educated, intellectual, or brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy－minded people like making money—ought to like it and to enjoy the sensation of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money.A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay—very properly so, and justly grumbles when you keep him ten months without it; still, his main notion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.So do doctors. They like fees no doubt—ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well－educated, the entire object of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole, desire to cure the sick, and—if they are good doctors, and the choices were fairly put to them—would rather cure their patient and lose their fee than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fee second, very important always, but still second.1．______， according to the passage.A. Healthy－minded people shouldn’t like moneyB. Healthy－minded people also like moneyC. Nothing is worth more than foodD. Healthy people can make more money2．A good soldier’s something, better than money, is ______.A. the wish to fight bravely and win battlesB. the chance to be kept ten months in the armyC. the complaint about less moneyD. the happiness with enough money3．What does the word “it” stand for in the last paragraph? ______A. FeeB. Main objectC. ChoiceD. Education4．The following statements are true EXCEPT ______.A. All people don’t make their work the main object of their livesB. money is always very important for all the peopleC. soldiers and doctors are brave and well－educatedD. money is still second for those brave and well－educated钱是人们生活中必不可少的东西，世界上没有对钱真正不感兴趣的人。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It’s hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world. It50 where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national features.A sunny day can lessen the deepest 51 , while very bad weather can destroy homes and threaten lives.The human race has always tried to 52 the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are many changes. Two popular traditional ways of predicting weather use pine cones(松果) and seaweed(海草). When the air has a high level of humidity(湿度), there is a higher chance of rain. When the humidity is low, there is more chance of 53 weather. Pine cones and seaweed feels dry when the humidity is low, 54 high humidity has the opposite effect.Today’s methods of prediction increasingly depend on 55 . Satellites, balloons, ships, aircraft and weather centers with 56 equipments send data to computers. The data is then 57 , and the weather is predicted. However, 58 this system can not predict weather for longer than about a week.A recent study by an Australian scientist suggests that certain people may have a special59 for predicting weather. However, it is 60 that these people could use their talent in another way, since the same group had a lot of success in predicting changes in another system—the stock market.It 61 that a study of weather may also enable scientists to predict the sudden 62 of a disease. An Ebola epidemic (a kind of disease) in Uganda in the year 2000 came after the same rare 63 conditions that had been present before a sudden spread of the disease 6 years earlier. Efforts to 64 the spread of air-borne diseases such as foot and mouth are also strongly dependent on favorable wind conditions.50. A. shows B. affects C. predicts D. introduces51.

And you could see police moving into position to ___55___ the protest route. A video on You Tube shows images captured by the so-called RoboKopter. A group of citizen journalists in Moscow used a ___56___ drone camera to record protests during Russian Parliamentary elections.Professor Waite noted a recent environmental case in the United States captured by someone flying his remote-controlled airplane. He said that the man ___57___ a meat packing plant that was polluting a nearby creek that ran into a nearby river.

And environmental regulatory authorities were ___59___ to it.Andrew Sniderman is a co-founder of the Genocide Intervention Network.

As children, a period of deep uncertainty and sensitivity, 50 and family are the top needs although we may not think of them in those terms. As teenagers, we are 51 the waters of adult life, preparing ourselves for the exciting unknown and as young adults we search for a52 . The drive to fulfil each stage is so strong that sometimes we have to hold the breath to53 .At each stage, although everyone may 54 in dreams, we will all try to take hold of the means to achieve our particular dreams. Some will be driven with almost tunnel vision, others take a(n) 55 attitude to getting there. Anyway, without dreams it is hard to direct life. If you are fortunate enough to achieve your current dreams, you can move forward for 56 desires and prepare yourself for a new conquest.For each period of life the needs are decided by that stage, and as we grow older, whether we like it or not, we gain 57 , which, on the basis of former facts and information, permits us to see a broader view if we are wise enough to take on board what is there. As we mature, the sharpness of the 58 of youth, the black and white approach to life, will be tempered by what is possible, kind, just and fair. Ageing helps us to grow if we allow it. So often we 59 that process, holding on tightly to rooted beliefs which do not do us any favour, yet our needs change and in result we will 60 be different.Physically, even when we stay fit and able, the body cannot deliver in quite the same way as youth. This comes as a(n) 61 to most of us who start life in the belief that we are unbeatable and will live forever. Again, Coming to terms with this fact helps us to 62 anxiety, and finally realize the unexpected benefits which come along with 63 face and slowed body. What was important when we were young can be seen now in a new light, and a different list of importance emerges. In the end, extreme age can be as demanding and sensitive as babyhood, so while one's need changes through life, it seems to come 64 .50. A. finance B. security C. marriage D. education51.

The report Concludes that most people are healthier, live longer, are more 55 , — and that even in countries with severe economic problems, people's health and education have generally56 . Although sub-Saharan African countries are at the bottom of the pile 57 human development, some of them have made significant progress since 1990. The report is 58 , however, of the fact that economic inequality has increased significantly in the last twenty years, both within and between countries.The greatest threat to HDI in the future, according to the report, is climate change. The way to increase average income in a country is through economic growth, which means increased production and 59 . However, if this 60 to greater emissions (排放) of greenhouse gases, as has always been the case in the past, global warming will probably go faster, causing severe environmental problems in some parts of the world that will 61 the livelihoods of huge numbers of people. The progress of the last twenty years, 62 , might not be sustainable (可持续的).The only solution, according to the report, is to break the 63 between economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions — which, 64 to say, is easier said than done.50.

However, nearly all require some __(50)__ in one’s career in order to attend school full time. Part-time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the __(51)__out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. __(52)__, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact __(53)__ on one’s career and family time.Of the many __(54)__ to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method, which allows the students the __(55)__ to study at his or her own pace to achieve the __(56)__ goals, which are so necessary in today’s world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student’s convenience w ith due __(57)__ to all life’s other requirements. Besides, the student may __(58)__ in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be __(59)__through regular airmail, telephone, fax machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet.Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject __(60)__ tool with every subject. This precludes（排除）the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the __(61)__ of the distance-learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed.In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the __(62)__ students but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. __(63)__ distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining（保留）career-minded people while __(64)__to their personal and professional growth through education.50.

On the other hand, there are steps we can take to eliminate much of 50 . We might say, then, that survival in the information age is a challenging yet 51 task.To some extent, we are all receivers and givers of information. Our brain, however, receives and processes information in different ways. One way involves the amazing capacity of the brain to process information subconsciously.Another way involves 52 processing of information such as during conversation. We have a great deal of control over this type of information processing --- both as givers and receivers. If we indulge (任凭) ourselves talking about tiny things or even harmful information, valuable time and 53 can be wasted. Meanwhile this can make us and others anxious. You may lose opportunities to absorb and distribute information that is truly useful for 54 in this troubled world.Information gathered by reading is processed consciously and 55 takes longest. The written word is still the most powerful way of 56 imagination and conveying information, ideas, and concept.How can we 57 so much information from various sources, such as reading material, TV program, computer games, and other 58 activities? The answer is screening. Screening, sorting out or prioritizing what we need to hear, see, say or read may 59 much information anxiety.To cut through confusing information, 60 this basic rule: Keep it simple! The secret to processing information is narrowing your 61 of information. Simplicity is 62 in many Asian cultures and is even recognized in Western cultures as a superior way of living.

The difference is important 50 industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the 51 .In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating income than those that 52 at key moments to make sure they were on the right 53 . What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to54 ”improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating income over a three-year period.How did they 55 the laws of business, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought 56 about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes 57 to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when it is 58 .

Functional language proficiency, however, __50__ mastery of a considerably large number of words. It is therefore __51__ at the intermediate and advanced stages of language acquisition to learn a large vocabulary in a short period of time. There is not enough time to __52__ the natural (largely incidental) L1 (the first language) word acquisition process. Incidental acquisition of the words is only possible up to a point, __53__, on account of their low frequency, they do not __54__ often enough in the L2 learning material.Acquisition of new words from authentic L2 reading texts by means of strategies such as contextual deduction(演绎) is also not a __55__ for a number of reasons. There appears to be no __56__to intentional learning of a great many new words in a relatively short period of time. The words to be learned may be __57__ in isolation or in context. Presentation in bilingual（双语的）word lists seems an __58__ shortcut because it takes less time than contextual presentation and yields excellent short term results. Long term memory, __59__, is often disappointing so contextual presentation seems advisable.Any suggestions on how to use this in educational contexts should be based on a systematic __60__ of the two most important aspects of the L2 word learning problem, this is to say, selecting the relevant vocabulary (which and how many words) and creating the best conditions for the acquisition process. This article sets out to __61__a computer assisted word acquisition programme (CAVOCA) which tries to do exactly this: the programme operationalises current theoretical thinking about word acquisition, and its __62__ are based on a systematic list of the vocabulary relevant for the target group. To __63__its frequency, the programme was __64__ in a number of experimental settings with a paired associated method of learning new words.

My life became different, as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and __50__.Too busy __51__ physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was determined to __52__, feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved forward.__53__, as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall –a __54__ survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude __55__ as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to __56__ my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers __57__ held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless You!” with __58__ in their eyes.While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed __59__ at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, she innocently asked, “Lady, where did your legs go?”I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn’t been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to __60__ them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to ‘Leg Heaven’?”That incident made me think about how __61__ children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a __62__ learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been __63__ of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a __64__ approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn’t mean having a poor quality of life.50. A. comfort B. fear C. hatred D. sadness51.

Not only did I succeed in 52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 he r doctor‟s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don‟t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date.

I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn‟t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother‟s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter‟s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me.

But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.The so-called …non-intelligence factors‟ include one‟s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year study, American psychologists 50 that the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence 51 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.52 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don‟t pay much attention to 53 these factors .Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, or laziness, but they never take into 54 these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don‟t inquire into reasons why students do 55 . They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 56 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 57 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray（堕落）because they are sick of learning. An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 58 of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 59 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 60 development among a few students .If we don‟t start now to 61 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the 62 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 63 about how to cultivate students‟ non-intelligence factors. Parents and teachers should 64 understand teenage psychology . On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, exciting their interests and toughening their willpower.50．A．came out B．found out C．made out D．worked out 51．A．in itself B．by itself C．itself D．on its own 52．A．Though B．Nevertheless C．However D．Moreover 53．A．believing B．studying C．cultivating D．developing 54．A．effect B．comment C．consideration D．preparations 55．A．poorly B．properly C．successfully D．dependently 56．A．ever B．even C．still D．more57．A．put B．get C．handle D．give 58．A．afraid B．ahead C．aware D．ashamed 59．A．difficulty B．question C．threat D．obstacle 60．A．intelligent B．characteristic C．psychological D．physical 61．A．practise B．regulate C．strengthen D．urge 62．A．intelligence B．diligence C．cultivation D．performance63．A．projects B．warnings C．suggestions D．decision 64．A．fully B．greatly C．very D．highly（10）jsymIt took brave European explorers less than 300 years, between 1420 and 1713, to establish that all the seas of the world formed an enormous and continuous ocean. This discovery encouraged them to 50 into areas which had n‟t been charted until then. With the discovery of new lands, new trade routes were 51 . In many parts of the world, colonies and settlements were established and many odd-looking products were brought back to 52 , arousing great interest and 53 wealth.It was probably the irresistible desire for wealth which 54 persuaded Europeans of the fifteenth century to 55 their legendary dangers and explore further out into the open seas. They were also 56 by the love for their country. Many explorers wanted to serve their king and country as well as gain personal 57 from their exploring.The most effective way of gaining wealth was through 58 . Silk, gold, silver and 59 stones, and more importantly spices, such as gingers and peppers, were the most profitable trade goods in Europe. Spices were of the greatest 60 because they enabled the Europeans to make their winter diet of salted meat more delicious. These items were 61 mostly from the East by a difficult overland route. The Italian 62 , who bought goods from the Arabs of Alexandria, controlled the trade along this route. Other countries of the Mediterranean 63 the wealth which this trade generated and they were 64 to discover new routes which would allow them to share in it.50. A. sail B. walk C. fly D. drive51.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Several times throughout your school years, you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. 50 is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone. Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few 51 need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful learning experience.What comes first is to keep a(n) 52 mind, because every member is equally important and everyone‟s ideas should be taken into consideration. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a 53 on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths, so that you can perform best. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual (相互的) support and trust often make a great difference.Activities like investigations are most 54 when done by small groups. Here are some more 55 for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the 56 , and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do, take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be57 your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.When there is 58 to be done, divide the task into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very 59 way, which can make your research work more fruitful. You are encouraged to keep records of the 60 used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen 61 . A format (规范) for exchanging information (e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily62 . When the time comes to 63 on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group, and most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise (折中) and agreement.After you‟ve completed a task with your team, make an 64 of the team‟s effectiveness —the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.50.
