Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.Art Basel, Basel, SwitzerlandThe granddaddy of art fairs, Art Basel, was established in 1970 by a group of local art gallerists and is the biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel, Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair. For example in 2010, about 60,000 visitors attended Art Basel.Frieze Art Fair, London“Frieze Art Fair was established in 2003 and is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists.v"Thefair takes place every October in Regent's Park, London. It features over 170 of the most exciting contemporary art galleries in the world. ”In addition to the fair which began in 2003, the fair owners Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp publish Frieze, an international art magazine established in 1991 and devoted to contemporary art.TEFAF Maastricht, the NetherlandsEstablished in 1975 as The Pictura Fine Art Fair, and renamed The European Fine Art Foundation（TEFAF）, Maastricht in 1996, the fair includes 260 of the world's most famous art and antique dealers from 16 countries.The 24th edition of the TEFAF fair held March 18 — 27, 2011 featured 260 dealers exhibiting approximately 30, 000 artworks and antiques with an overall value of $ US 1. 4 billion.ARCO, MadridARCO Madrid was established in 1982 and is one of Europe's leading and popular art fairs. In addition to the exhibiting galleries（in 2011, 197 international art galleries participated）, a seriesof lectures and specially focused exhibitions take place.1.How does Art Basel cover the expense of renting space?A.By selling tickets.B.By selling expensive exhibits.C.By donation from dealers.D.By support from the government.2.The owners of Frieze Art Fair are also in charge of____.A.170 living artists.B.An international art magazine.C.30,000 artworks and antiques.D.A series of lectures.3.Which of the following has the longest history?A.Art BaselB.Frieze Art FairC.TEFAFD.ARCOBTeens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better healthas adults, according to research published by an American research center.“This research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success," said Jinho Kim, a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of the study."Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers（同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”4. What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recipes.B. Habits.C. Benefits.D. Risks.5. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Poor health in adolescence.B. Limitations of the previous research.C. Teens' relationships with their peers.D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.6. What does Kim's research show?A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success.D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.7. Where does this text probably come from?A. A health magazine.B. A medical report.C. A term paper.D. A family survey.CDid you know people who live in different parts ofChinahave different habits and preferences? For example, people from southernChinaprefer to eat vegetables, while people from northChinalike to eat meat. According to a new study in a journal, gene variations (变异) might be responsible for these differences. Researchers fromChina’s BGI collected genetic information from 141,431 Chinese women, who came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups.They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have developed, affecting their food preferences, immunities (免疫力) to illness and physical features.A variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people. It helps people metabolize (新陈代谢) fatty acids, which suggests a diet that is rich in flesh. This is due to climate differences.Northern Chinais at a higher latitude. This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in. Therefore, northerners tend to eat more meat.The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups. Most people in southernChinacarry the gene CR1, which protects against malaria. Malaria was once quite common in southernChina. In order to survive, the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease. However, people in the south are also more sensitive to certain illnesses, as they lack the genes to stop them.Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners. Most northerners have theABCC11 gene, which causes dry earwax, less body smell and fewer sweats. These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments. Southerners are less likely to have this gene, as it did not develop in their population.8. What did the new study focus on?A. Regions.B. Eating habits.C. Gene variations.D. Ethnic minority groups.9. What is the main function of the gene FADS2?A. It helps store fat.B. It helps digest meat.C. It helps gain weight.D. It helps treat an illness.10. According to the study, most northerners ________.A. sweat less frequentlyB. are immune to malariaC. prefer vegetables to meatD. are more sensitive to climates11. How many differences did the study find related to genes?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.DMark Twain,the famous American writer,was once traveling in France.He went by trainto Dijon.He was very tired and wanted to sleep.He therefore asked the conductor to wake him up when the train came to Dijon.But first he explained he was a very heavy sleeper,“I may possibly protest(抗议)loudly when you try to wake me up,” he said to the conductor.“But don’t take any notice of what I say.Just put me off the train anyway.”Then Mark Twain went to ter,when he woke up it was night time and the train had reached Paris already.He realized at once that the conductor had forgotten to wake him up at Dijon.He was so angry that he ran to the conductor and began to shout at him.“I have never been so angry in my life,” Mark Twain said.The conductor looked at him calmly(平静地).“You are not half so angry as the American whom I put off the train atDijon,” he said.12. Mark Twain knew that he was a heavy sleeper,so ________.A. he protested loudly to the conductorB. he did not sleep before he arrived inDijonC. he told the conductor to wake him up no matter how loudly he might protestD. he slept lightly that time13. The conductor didn’t wake up Mark Twain atDijonbecause ________.A. he didn’t take Mark Twain’s words seriouslyB. he forgot Mark Twain’s words when the train came toDijonC. he did not want to bear his protestD. he mistook another American traveler for Mark Twain14.

Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some color1 ed markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times.For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook.Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”4.

To exciteher students' creativity.CWe interviewed two people, one who went from the country to the city and one who did the opposite.Janet Lincoln is a salesgirl who moved to St. Louisfive years ago. Here’s what Janet told us:“Five years ago I used to live in a small town called Lemon Falls. I grew up and went to high school there. After I graduated I worked in a supermarket. Lemon Falls had a population of about 800 people, and I knew every single one of them. They all knew everything about me, too. You couldn’t do anything without everyone in town knowing about it. The first chance I got I moved to St. Louis and I love it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I have a few good friends, and I see them when I want to. I kind of like beinganonymous. I’d never go back to Lemon Falls.”Troy Henson had the opposite experience. He and his wife, Darla, and their two children moved from St. Louis to Bloomfield three years ago. Here’s what Troy told us:“The best thing we ever did was get out of St. Louis. Don’t get me wrong; St. Louis is as good a place as any other city, I suppose — if you like cities, that is. We don’t. Both Darla and I grew up in St. Louis. We met at college and got married. Then the kids came along and life got difficult. We didn’t know any of our neighbors. We both had good jobs, but it always seemed like there was never enough money. That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield. I don’t make as much money as I used to, but then we don’t have as many expenses as we did. We know our neighbors. Life is good. We’d never leave Bloomfield.”8. What troubled Janet when she was in Lemon Falls?A. She had no friends.B. There was no privacy.C. There was a lot of competition.D. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.9.

They protect their island by fighting against people from outside. Their language is different from any other known language.Another Andaman tribe is the Jarawa(300 people). In the past, they were independent and fought against anybody trying to make contact with them. But in 1998, the Indian government built a road across their land* and since then» they* ve had more contact with the outside world.Some Amazon tribes avoid contact because of unhappy memories.

Touching our faces—the "T-zone" of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular—can mean giving ourselves the deadly virus.This is why organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. "Just stop this simple behavior," William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene (卫生), told The Washington Post. "It's the one behavior that would be better than any vaccine (疫苗) ever created."Yet, stopping this "simple" behavior might be harder than you think because it's already hardwired (固定存在于) into our system.Some face touchingis an automatic reflex (反射) —like when there is an itch (痒) on your nose, you'll scratch (挠) it without thinking. According to CNBC, a 2014 study found that touching your face also helps to reduce stress and regulate emotions. For example, you're more likely to do it when you feel awkward or embarrassed. According to Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California Berkeley, US, this action may also come with a social function: When you are talking to someone and want to change the subject, for example, touching your face is like "the curtains on a stage, closing up one act of the social drama, ushering (引导) in the next," Keltner told the BBC.Moreover, face-touching in almost all of these occasions is subconscious, which means it's very hard to change "because you don't even know you're doing it", said Sawyer. But you're not alone. In a 2015 study, wherea group of medical students were filmed in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour—with 44 percent of the touches being in the "T-zones". That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed to know better.Since it's so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.4. What do the first two paragraphs talk about?A. The best way to fight COVID-19B. How organizations are fighting COVID-19.C. Typical hand hygiene problems in the fight against COVID-19.D. The necessity to avoid touching our faces to fight COVID-19.5. Why is it hard for people to stop touching their faces?A. It makes people feel more confident.B. Many are unaware of this behavior's risks.C. They usually do it automatically and subconsciouslyD. Many think the action helps them express their emotions.6. Which of the following is a social function of touching faces, according to the text?A. Using it as a sign to change the topicB. Bringing a conversation to an end.C. Showing an interest in the ongoing subject.D. Making others feel relaxed while talking.7. What is the author's purpose in mentioning a 2015 study on a group of medical students?A. To give tips on how to stop touching faces.B. To prove that it is common for people to touch their faces.C. To show it is impossible to shake the habit of touching your face.D. To show how hygiene awareness helps people avoid touching their faces.CIf you ever get the impression that your dog can "tell" whether you look delighted or annoyed, you may be onto something. Dogs may indeed be able to distinguish between happy and angry human faces, according to a new studyResearchers trained a group of 11 dogs to distinguish between images(图像)of the same person making either a happy or an angry face. During the training stage, each dog was shown only the upper half or the lower half of the person's face. The researchers then tested the dogs' ability to distinguish between human facial expressions by showing them the other half of the person's face on images totally different from the ones used in training. The researchers found that the dogs were able to pick the angry or happy face by touching a picture of it with their noses more often than one would expect by random chance.The study showed the animals had figured out how to apply what they learned about human faces during training to new faces in the testing stage. "We can rule out that the dogs simply distinguish between the pictures based on a simple cue, such as the sight of teeth," said study author Corsin Muller. "Instead, our results suggest that the successful dogs realized that a smiling mouth means the same thing as smiling eyes, and the same rule applies to an angry mouth having the same meaning as angry eyes.""With our study, we think we can now confidently conclude that at least some dogs can distinguish human facial expressions," Muller toldLive Science.At this point, it is not clear why dogs seem to be equipped with the ability to recognize different facial expressions in humans. "To us, the most likely explanation appears to be that the basis lies in their living with humans, which gives them a lot of exposure to human facial expressions and this exposure has provided them with many chances to learn to distinguish between them." Muller said.8. The new study focused on whether dogs can_________.A. distinguish shapesB. make sense of human facesC. feel happy or angryD. communicate with each other9. What can we learn about the study from paragraph 2?A. Researchers tested the dogs in random order.B. Diverse methods were adopted during training.C. Pictures used in the two stages were differentD. The dogs were photographed before the lest.10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. A suggestion for future studies.B. A possible reason for the study findings.C. A major limitation of the studyD. An explanation of the research method.11. In which section is the text most likely to be found in a newspaper ?A. EntertainmentB. EconomyC. ScienceD. NatureDIf our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids andit’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择). In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But sheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.12. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?A. She was tired.B. She failed in a test.C. She was late for school.D. She had to walk home by herself.13. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?A. Terrible.B. Meaningful.C. Embarrassing.D. Colorful.14. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A. gave in to meB. said yes to meC. stayed in the placeD. kept to her idea15. What is the best title for the text?A. My Way of GrowingB. The Value of FailureC. My Love for MotherD. Failure in My Life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。

Enter the Red Hat Society －a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.“My grandmothers didn’t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,”said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育顶峰期诞生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat, which doesn’t go.”said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,”Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.”This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “We’re a ladies’play group. It couldn’t be more simple,”added Cooper’s assistant Joe Heywood.36．The underlined word “chapter”in paragraph 2 means __________.A．one branch of an organization B．a written agreement of a club C．one part of a collection of poems D．a period in a society’s historyFrom the text , we know that the “baby boomers”are a group of people who__________.A．have gradually become more noticeable B．are worried about getting old too quickly C．are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spendD．tried living a different life from their parents when they were youngIt could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are__________.A．interested in raising money for social workB．programmers who can plan well for their futureC．believers in equality between men and womenD．good at cooking big meals and taking care of others39．Who set up the Red Hat Society ? A．Emily Cornette . B．Ellen Cooper . C．Jenny Joseph . D．Joe Heywood. 40．Women join the Red Hat Society because .A．they want to stay youngB．they would like to appear more attractive C．they would like to have fun and live for themselvesD．they want to be more like their parents BWugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using Everyclick, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won’t cost them a penny. Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity —88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than £5,000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing (有感染力的) or possible. Beth Truman, a 21-year-old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the “wugging”movement grow in popularity with students. “When you’re at university you become more socially aware, but it’s sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,”says Beth，“Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don’t feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.Everyclick works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. Everyclick then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.41. According to the passage, “wugging”is actually ______.A. a websiteB. a charity-related actionC. a school organizationD. a student movement42. In the case of charity, Everyclick ______.A. frees students of the financial worriesB. receives much money from studentsC. offers valuable information to studentsD. praises students for their money-raising43. What does Beth Truman think of the “wugging”movement?A. It makes Everyclick popular in the UK.B. It becomes easy to do charity because of it.C. It results in students’more social awareness.D. It helps students to save money.44. From the passage, we can conclude that ______.A. most full time students do charity on the Internet every dayB. Everyclick helps students pay for the college educationC. “wugging”is a win-win idea for both students and charitiesD. Everyclick is the most successful search engine in the UK45. What would be the best title for this passage?A. “Wugging”, a new popular term on the Internet.B. British people show strong interest in charity.C. More Britain charities benefit from the Internet.D. Students raise money for charity by “wugging”.CThe girl looking for the job turned out to be excellent but she ended up giving her employer a headache when it also turned out that she used an unreal diploma (文凭).In December, a Civil Administration Bureau in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, announced that it needed five new staff members. Some 120 people applied and took the exam. Applicants were required to show proof of a college degree at least.Mei Jing beat everyone, in the test and the interview. When a follow-up check was done, however, her education certificate was discovered to be an unreal one.This was a bit of an embarrassment for the employers. A dilemma, one might say. If she were hired because of her excellent performance, she still wouldn’t have the qualifications on paper. But, if she were dropped because she didn’t meet the education requirements, they would lose a good worker. T ough problem.While Mei’s future hangs in the balance, the public having learned of the case, got involved.Some people said the bureau should employ her, since results are the only important thing. “After all, ability is more important than a diploma,”said one office worker. Others, however, have attacked Mei’s dishonesty. They said that morality (道德) was, after all, more important than talent, especially in the case of a government position. Mei wasn’t honest, so she shouldn’t be hired. Case closed.But, Shen Ronghua, the head of the Shanghai Public Administration and Human resources Institute, tries to be a bit more philosophical.“There is still a sort of ‘diploma means this’prejudice (成见)among people,”Shen explains, “Many employers regard a diploma as the only sign of ability and talent.”So, with this in mind, people may pay little attention to whether someone has real ability or not. They turn to chasing a diploma instead. The unreal diploma is the natural product of this thought.The conclusion? “China needs a new human resource system. The new system will not define a person only by his or her diploma,”Shen says.46. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “dilemma”in Paragraph Four?A. A problem easy to deal with or solve.B. A situation in which it is difficult for you to make the decision.C. A difference in two or more statements, ideas, or stories.D. Something said or done that is funny.47. What can we infer from this news report?A. The Civil Administration Bureau of Wuhan employed the girl.B. The girl was not employed because of dishonesty.C. It remained to be seen whether the girl was to be employed or not.D. Another Human Resource Institute employed the girl.48. What does Shen Ronghua mean by saying “diploma means this”?A. A diploma can tell whether a person is honest or not.B. A diploma is the only sign of ability and talent.C. A diploma is what you get after you finish a course.D. A diploma means a job.49. Which statement is NOT true according to the news report?A. It seemed that the reporter agrees with Shen Ronghua’s opinion.B. If you want to get the job , you have to meet a certain educationrequirement.C. Most people held the view that morality was the most important thing.D. One official said that something should be done to change the humanresource system.50. Which of the following do you think is the best title of this news report?A. A Girl’s Unlucky ExperienceB. Unreal DiplomaC. Dishonesty Has Been AttackedD. Can A Diploma Be AllDIn a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English —and all at the same time. This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at US's Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.Another prototype(雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,”Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录)the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) screen.Then there’s the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture (捕捉) the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips （芯片）implanted （植入）in a person's face, according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed —without speaking aloud —a few words in Mandarin(一般话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let meintroduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the university's prototypes is to create ‘good enough’bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,”Waibel said.With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.51. Which of the following statements is not TRUE?A. A Lecture Translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.52. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lecture Translation.B. Muscle Translator.C. Multiple Translator.D. Translation Prototype.53. What’s the final destination of inventing the language translators?A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.54. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the verylanguage you need.B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.55. Where can this passage probably be from?A. A newspaper.B. A magazine on science.C. A fairy tale.D. A scientific fantasy book.第II卷第三部份写作阅读表达（共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分）Why not take a more measured approach to be a happier , healthier you? From your office to your bedroom to your car, these small changes can have a big impact on your life.Wake up ten minutes earlier. When you start your morning in a hurry, you set a stressful tone for the day. (I'm speaking from experience here.) Even ten extra minutes in the morning can help you feel more calm, collected, and ready to face the day.Spend five minutes in silence or meditation (冥想). You'll soon realize, whether it's in the morning or evening, that five minutes of sitting quietly with your eyes closed seems a lot longer than five minutes. But just this short silence can foster a quietness that carries through the day. When things go off the rails, simply close your eyes and recall that earlier quietness.Walk. Is there one trip you'd normally make in the car (to work, the gym, the store) that you can make on foot? Walking saves money (good for you) and gas (good for the environment) and burns calories (around 2,000 steps equal one mile), which is good for your health.Tell someone you love them. Life is never long enough to say this as many times as it should be said, whether to your mother , afriend, a significant other, or your dog. Make it a habit to tell someone at least once a day that you love him or her. While it may feel strange at first, you will never regret it.Stand (or sit) up straight. Good posture prevents back and neck pain and even builds confidence. When driving, tilt (倾斜) your rearview mirror (后视镜) up a bit. You'll have to sit up to see. At your desk, the top of your computer screen should be at eye level. Put a small cushion in the curve of your lower back, and your spine（脊柱）will become straight.

Modem 10-story building with two elevators. $l,750/month. First month's rent and security deposit equal to one month's rent required to move in. To see, call City Office Rentals at 382-0838 between 8:30 and 4:30, Tues.-Sat.To: Marilyn SawyerFrom: Paul LebowskiSent: Tuesday, October 3Subject: Office rentalMarilyn,Here's a link to an office rental ad I found online: www.offices. com/10-01.1 think it's worth looking at even though the rent is a bit high. I know it is a good deal more than we are paying now, but look at the size. It's twice as big as our current office, and I'm sure we can use the space.And it has a kitchen, a bathroom and a reception area just like we have now. Unfortunately it is nowhere near a subway station. That is a convenience I would miss having, but it does have parking, unlike our current office. I'm sure our clients would appreciate that. It would also be good to be in a building with an elevator. I'm reallytired of using the stairs. I'd like to see the space as soon as possible. Could you call and make an appointment? Try and get one for tomorrow if you can, because after that I'll be away until next Monday, as you know. Thanks. Paul36.

ThursdayBMaybe no one forgets their first bicycle and there is no exception to a woman like me. Mine was a Schwinn coaster bike, second-hand, painted a distinctive red and yellow by its previous owner. I remember riding too fast down the big hill on Springfield Avenue. I knew at once that the world was mine to explore.A couple of years later, when I was 11, my grandmother visited from England, bringing me a bike. It was a shiny dark green, with three gears （齿轮）and hand brakes. As the owner of the first English bicycle my neighbors had ever seen, I was, for a time, almost a star.Unlike my coaster bike, it was light and responsive---riding it felt like flying. I rode it past big stone houses with their huge yards and trees. I rode past brick row houses. I rode alone and with groups of friends.That beloved bike went with me to college, carrying me to the library and to classes. Beyond transport, it was often a prop（道具）：pushing it along as I walked the college paths made me feel less self-conscious. Somehow, conversation flowed more easily on either side of a bike.After college, I lived abroad for a time. Returning from London, I discovered to my horror that my parents had sold my bike. They didn't even know who had bought it.For years after that, I didn't have a bicycle that was specifically mine. Teaching in a New England prep school, I simply rode whatever bikes its graduates had left behind. I rode around the little town on bikes which slipped in and out of gear, with brakes that often failed.I did not take any of those bikes with me when I moved south to the coastal town where I now live. But aftera while I missed riding. Finally, on a fall day, I bought a bicycle. Called a comfort bike, it has wider tires than my old bike and seven gears. But it is green™ a brighter green bike.Still, I was a bit apprehensive. I was out of practice and a lot older. I brought the bike home and put on my helmet …I'd never worn a helmet before. Then I got on the bike. Aller a tentative, slightlyshaky start, I fell exactly as 1 was on that long-ago day on Springfield Avenue: free. Soon I was riding along. It seemed that everyone I passed smiled and waved or call out, "Great day for a bike ride! And I knew they all remembered their first bike and how it had set them free. I wanted to call back to them, C4I still can!"40. According to the article, the author's beloved bike .A. was a red and yellow coaster bikeB. made her the envy of all her friendsC. was her birthday gift from her grandmotherD. made her shy and awkward at times at college41. While pushing the English bike along, the author .A. felt boredB. felt specialC. became talkativeD. became lost in thought42. When she was teaching at a prep school, the author .A. didn't like her once-beloved bikeB. got out of the habit of riding bikesC. loved exploring the little town by riding aroundD. rode bikes that had been recommended to her by graduates43. What does the underlined word “apprehensive" in Paragraph 6 mean?A. DissatisfiedB. ExcitedC. ShockedD. Fearful44. What was the author's main purpose in writing this article?A. To describe the different bikes she has been riding alone.B. To recall the joy and freedom she has enjoyed thanks to riding.C. To inform us of the fun and benefits of riding bikes with others.D. To tell us about how she grew up through her riding experiences.CThanks to its harsh environment, Antarctica remained largely untouched by humans for many millennia, allowing a thriving ecosystem to evolve. However, since the 1990s, the last true wilderness on the planet is becoming an increasingly popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists. Now, a new study declares that the visitors may be leaving behind harmfi.il bacteria which could devastate the area's native bird population.Humans can infect animals with illnesses such as the flu. Researchers, however, believed that the Antarctic animals were immune to the danger due to the continent's extreme weather. However, microbiologist Marta Cerda-Cuellar was not convinced.She and some colleagues decided to examine waste samples from Antarctic birds for evidence of human bacteria. To ensure the waste was not polluted, the scientists had to collect it from the birds themselves.The results of their study revealed the presence of several types of human bacteria in the bird waste. This included a common strain（品种）of bacteria that causes food poisoning in humans. The researchers say the bacteria strains were resistant to commonly-used human antibiotics, indicating they were brought in by the visitors, rather than migratory birds（候鸟）.“These strains, which are a common cause for infections in humans and livestock, do not usually cause death outbreaks in wild animals," says Gonzalez-Solis. "However, the emerging or invasive pathogens （病原体）that arrive to highly sensitive populations could have severe consequences and cause the local collapse and extinction of some populations." The researcher also fears the presence of these bugs could foreshadow the arrival of other, more deadly, pathogens as the number of tourists people increases.Experts believe the only way to prevent the mass destruction of the birds is to impose stricter regulations or, at least, put the ones already in place into effect. For example, while the Antarctica Treaty requires visitors to carry their waste back home to safeguard the pristine environment, the regulation is rarely enforced. Nowadays, someofficials are taking steps to save the vulnerable birds before it's too late.45. What problem is Antarctica facing according to Paragraph 1&2?A. The increasing number of touristsB. The worsening wildernessC. The replaced native bird population.D. The spread of infectious illnesses.46. What docs the underlined word "devastate" mean?A. Destroy.B. IncreaseC. ProtectD. Benefit.47. Why did the scientists need to catch some Antarctic animals?A. To treat their illness.B. To get their waste.C. To raise them as pets.D. To study their lifestyles48. What did the scientists prove in their study?A. Bacteria can be killed by human antibioticsB. Extreme weather keeps Antarctic animals healthyC. Humans bring bacteria to AntarcticaD. Antarctic animals are immune to human bacteria.49. What is the author's attitude towards the prospect of bird population in Antarctica?A. IndifferentB. DoubtfulC. AmbiguousD. Optimistic50. In what section in a newspaper can you find the passage?A. EntertainmentB. TravelC. NatureD. EducationD.The playing field is never even or equal. Your skills and attitude play a major role in the outcome. Knowing what you can do to have an advantage can make the difference between success and failure.My kids tell me it's unfair to play with the big children. I tell them that's right. Unfairness is a good thing. There is more to be gained by the effort when things seem unfair. It is true that many things in the world are unfair. But unfair things usually can be a boon to you. For example, the early bird catches the worm. It is unfair that the bird that sleeps in misses out on breakfast but it is nice to know that if it gets up early it is sure to get the worm.I always try to explain to my kids that complaining about how unfair something is will get them nowhere. Instead, make the most out of it and get on the other side of it. Once you do that you are in the advantage. Above all, you have to focus on gaining that unfair advantage and in order to do that, build your inner strength, When you empower （武装） yourself, you are gaining skills or abilities， confidence and self-esteem （自尊）.You should look at your place in the world. Where do you want io be financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically ? You are creating your own story when you empower yourself.You can build all the advantages that you need to live the life that you want. If you haven't yet, you need to make a list of all the things you want to experience in your new life. This will help you focus on building advantages so that you never have to say that it's Not Fair. When you do this then you will be able to realize that unfairness is a good thing and you will want to teach those around you to see unfairness in this way too.51. What docs the underlined word "boon" in Paragraph 2 probably mean ?A. Something that is very terrible.B. Something that is very helpfulC. Something that is very kindD. Something that is very scared52. What can we infer from the example of the playing field used by the author?A. The author wants to introduce his topicB. The author wants to support his opinionC. He wants tell us that having an advantage is neededD. He wants to show skills and attitudes are important in playing games53. What is the best way to deal with unfairness according to the author?A. Just accept it.B. Thy to change it.C. Simply ignore it.D. Make good use of it.54. You are told to look at your place in the world in order to .A. make yourself betterB. be proud of yourselfC. have more confidenceD. know others' advantages55. What is the text mainly about?A. The way to live a happy life.B. The right attitude to unfairness.C. Being patient enough to succeed.D.

AChina's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope(FAST)has detected a repeating fast radio burst(FRB)-mysterious radio signals from outer space-for the first time,Science and Technology Daily reported.Scientists on the FAST project with the National Astronomical Observatories of China(NAOC)revealed the news last Wednesday.The FRB originated some three billion light years away from Earth.Other factors including aircraft and satellites have been dismissed and cross examination is being carried out,the scientists said.FRB has since become one of the hottest topics in astronomy.It was not until 2007 when the first FRB was discovered by humans.Fewer than 100 FRBs have been detected internationally.There is still no reasonable explanation for the origin of FRB in the international scientific community at present.FRBs mostly only appear once,which makes them very hard to track.The FRB detected by FAST's real-time detection terminal(终端），however,is one that has been observed before,said Zhang Xinxin,an assistant engineer with the NAOC.Known as FRB121102,it was first discovered in 2012 and found to repeat in 2015.Analysis of data later located the source of the signal coming from a dwarf galaxy(矮星系）three billion light years away.The first pulse from FRB121102 was spotted by FAST on Aug 30 2019.After this,the telescope recorded dozens of pulses from the FRB over the course of days.On Sept 3 2019 alone,more than 20 pulses were detected.The number of mysterious bursts detected so far is too small to draw any conclusions,Zhang said.FAST,the world's largest single-dish radio telescope,has a certain edge in detecting repeated FRBs.This is because the 19-beam receiver installed on FAST,covering frequency ranges of 1.05-1.45 GHz,is very sensitive to radio signals,Zhang said.21.The whole text mainly give us an introduction to_A.a brief introduction of FAST.B.a discovery of FASTC.the validation of FASTD.the usage of FAST22.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.FRB121102 is the first fast radio burst that was discovered by humans.B.The FRB detected by China's FAST this time has not been observed before.C.FRBs mostly only appear once,which makes them very hard to track.D.We can infer that billion light year is a term of time in astronomy.23.Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope(FAST)A.is the world's largest radio telescopeB.has detected more than 100 FRBsC.found reasonable explanation for the origin of FRBD.has been installed with the 19-beam receiverBA Lighter TouchIn recent years,superheroes such as Superman,Thor,Iron Man,and Black Panther have starred in film series with complex,serious storylines about the end of the universe.However,the makers of Shazam!,which came out in China on April 5,have a different opinion on thesuperhero movie.It's"just a light,funny...action comedy about a boy in a superman's body",wrote Owen Gleberman in his review for Variety magazine.Billy Batson,the film's main character,is a 14-year-old who's been in and out of foster homes(寄养家庭）。
