storms, and emergencies.●Carry adequate clothing.Driving●Unless otherwise posted, the top speed throughout the park is 45 mph.●If you see wildlife while driving, do not stop or pause in the roadway.1．What do we know about Yellowstone National Park?A.It allows visitors to feed some animals.B．It gives visitors a free ride in the park.C．It will punish visitors if they bring their pets.D．It

approaches, but they come together to share skills, share stories, and share in the joy of making something.Modern maker culture is filling headlines and lab spaces all over the world.The way makers communicate with each other has changed over time.In the past, skills mainly came from personal sitdowns with members of the group.But sometimes a teacher wasn't available, or the one available didn't know how to do the skill others wanted to learn.Today a teacher doesn't even have to be in the same country or occupy the same decade as the students.Thanks to the work of people who take the time to break down and share the details of their craft, an interested individual can learn anything.Guides may range from videos to diagrams and text.Regardless of the media, maker resources are meant to be shared.One of the features of the maker movement is the crossover between different interests.Perhaps a passion for cars and for leathercraft can result in a truly custom interior (定制的内饰).Perhaps a love of knitting (编织) and robotics will result in a tiny—but very mobile—robotic furry cat.And once you have started your creation, finding a community to share with is no longer limited to the people nearby.Modern makers have been sharing videos of their progress online for years, contributing greatly to the rapid spread of the maker movement.As different as the participants might be, they share enthusiasm, support, and a willingness to try.Imagine making a pingpong table together with your makers' team.One group builds the basic frame.Another group takes on the responsibility of painting.You knit the net.There is joy in just giving it a try.It will remind you of childhood creations.Whether you are an experienced programmer or just picking up a hammer for the first time, it is never a bad time to come up with an idea, try something, and share the results.4．How did makers communicate with each other in the past?A．By meeting face to face.B．By asking personal questions.C．By visiting a teacher together.D．By sitting together in a classroom.5．What does the underlined word “crossover” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Exchange.B．Difference.C．Combination.D．Independence.6．What greatly speeds up the spread of modern maker culture?A．The sharing of videos on the Internet.B．The development of education.C．The increasing willingness to share.D．The increasing number of participants.7．Why does the author mention making a pingpong table in the last paragraph?A．To advise us to start small.B．To inspire some creative ideas.C．To stress the importance of childhood creations.D．To encourage us to join in the maker movement.C(2025届贵州省安顺市高三上学期第一次联考)Holding hands, people jumped into the water, and floated around in Boston's Charles River recently.That is something that would not have been possible years ago because the river was so polluted.In the 1960s, the music group The Standells even sang about the river in their popular song—“Dirty Water”．The swimmers were getting their onceayear chance to cool off from the summer heat in the Charles River.It is called “City Splash”．For a few days each year, the state of Massachusetts allows public swimming on Boston's part of the nearly 130kilometer Charles River.The event is in its fifth year.It is a chance for the nonprofit Charles River Conservancy to show its efforts to build a “swim park”．Their idea is to build floating docks where swimmers can jump safely into the river—without touching the risky bottom.These docks would be in areas where the water quality would be tested repeatedly.Boston is one of the cities hoping to follow the model of Copenhagen, Denmark.That city opened the first of its three floating harbor baths in the early 2000s.On sunny days, people swim in the harbor baths surrounded by tall buildings and cars on the highways.At night, the area is filled with people enjoying music and food.Just recently Paris opened public swimmin g in a oncepolluted canal.New York, London, Berlin and other cities are planning similar features for their waterways.In Boston, the Charles River Conservancy still needs to raise several million dollars.It also needs to get approvals from city, state and federal agencies.The groups spokeswoman S．J.Port, said the__biggest__problem has already been taken care of: The Charles is now one of the cleanest city rivers in America.The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency announced this month that the riverearned a “B” grade for water quality last year—an “A” being the best grade.It means the Charles River met the requirement for swimming 55 percent of the time.8．What is the function of floating docks?A．They are places for swimmers to rest.B．They let swimmers get into the river safely.C．They surround swimmers in a safe area of the river.D．They are used to test the water quality repeatedly.9．Which of the following has set a good example for others in offering floating harbor baths?A．Paris.B．Boston.C．Copenhagen.D．Berlin.10．What does the underlined part “the biggest problem” refer to?A.The pollution of Charles River.B．Lack of money to treat pollution.C．Getting approvals from governments.D．Meeting the requirement of “A” grade.11．What can be inferred from the text?A.The water in Charles River reaches drinking standard.B.People can swim in Charles River at any time.C．This summer is the hottest in Boston.D．Charles River flows through Boston.D(2024年安徽省合肥市巢湖市高考英语模拟试卷)Angel Garcia Crespo is a computer engineer at Carlos Ⅲ University of Madrid in Spain.His group has invented a new way for deafblind people to “watch” TV.The idea for the technology grew out of previous work by his group.The team had already worked on making audiovisual (视听的) materials accessible to people with either vision or hearing disabilities.But the group wanted to help people with both challenges.So they asked some deafblind people what would help.In addition to relying on their sense of touch to communicate, deafblind people can also get and send information with a Braille line.The Braille system uses patterns of raised dots to stand for letters and numbers.A Braille line is an electronic machine with a changeable Braille display.Dots rise up or drop down based on the information sent to the machine.Now the new system changes TV signals to data a Braille line can use.“The key to the system is the possibility of using subtitles (字幕) to collect TV information，”Garcia Crespo explains.“Subtitles travel with the image (影像) and the audio in electromagnetic waves we don't see.But an electronic system can keep those waves.”First，a computer program，or app，pulls out the subtitles and visual descriptions from the broadcast signal.The system then combines the information and changes both into data for Braille.Now another app gets to work, which sends the data out to people's Braille lineson demand.“This is done in real time，in less than a second，” Garcia Crespo says.This lets a deafblind person “watch” TV as it's broadcast.The system will work with various Braille lines，as long as there's a bluetooth connection available.Now，the system is only used in Europe，and it should soon be available in the US.12．What inspired Garcia Crespo's group to work on the new technology?A．Deafblind people's poor life.B．Their pity on the disabled people.C．The challenges they face in work.D．Their group's previous research.13．Why can the electronic system collect TV information?A.It can combine all kinds of broadcast signals.B．It can keep the waves with subtitles travelling.C.It can work together with a variety of Braille lines.D．It can pull out the subtitles and visual descriptions.14．What does the author think of the future of the new technology?A．Challenging. B．Bright.C．Rewarding. D．Hopeless.15．What should be a suitable title for the text?A.New Technology Is Improving Deafblind People's LifeB．A New Braille Line Is Applied to Disabled People's LifeC．A Spanish Group Makes TV Accessible to Blind PeopleD．New Technology Helps Deafblind People “Watch” TV其次节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

This can lead to a decline in social skills and a feeling of isolation.Another negative effect of the Internet is its impact on education. While the Internet provides a wealth of information, it can also be a distraction. Students may spend more time online than studying, which can lead to poor academic performance.Despite these negative effects, the Internet has many positive aspects.

The ambitious goal came to her after she watched a documentary on plastic pollution the previous year, and she knew she couldn’t just sit by.Often, volunteers would join her in her efforts, including her grandchildren, or she would join hands with other campaigners such as Wayne Dixon, who is walking around the UK coast as an ambassador for Keep Britain Tidy.During her beach cleans, Smith was sometimes mistaken for doing community service! She said, “People don’t understand I’ve been doing this voluntarily. We should all take responsibility for picking up the litter as well as ensuring we don’t drop litter in the first place.Even before her beach cleanups, Smith had begun her first environmental campaign to eliminate plastic straws (吸管) in her city of Cornwall . To date, she has encouraged 600 local companies to stop using unnecessary plastic. In an effort to make her hometown an example for the plastic-free movement in the United Kingdom, she founded The Final Straw Cornwall in the summer of 2017. “I founded the Final Straw to try and raise awareness of the disastrous damage we are doing to our oceans from our casual consumption of single-use plastics. I feel I have a responsibility to my children and grandchildren to do something about it.” She said.Her resolution year may be over but this environmentally conscious grandma continues her quest (追求). “A lot of the rubbish I’ve picked up consists of everyday items,” said Smith. “These things are used by all of us and it is shocking to find them polluting our beautiful beaches. Please let’s try to be more thoughtful in this coming year. I’m driven to try and protect our living planet for my children and grandchildren and I will continue to do everything in my power to achieve that.”41．What led to Smith’s New Year’s resolution of cleaning her community?A．Community service.B．A film or television program.C．Various ocean protection campaigns.D．Serious pollution in her community.42．What’s people’s misunderstanding about Smith’s action?A．She was forced to do that.B．She just pretended to be caring.C．She actually did only a little work.D．She wouldn’t stick to the work for long.43．With her founding of The Final Straw Cornwall, Smith intended to ______.A．set an example to other aged peopleB．stop her local companies from producing plastic strawsC．keep her promise to her children and grandchildrenD．make people conscious of the plastic-related environmental problem44．What opinion about environmental protection did Smith hold?A．It’s everyone’s duty.B．It’s as hard as people think.C．Prevention is more important than protection.D．The younger generation don’t care about it enough.45．Which of the following best describes Smith as an environmental activist?A．Proud.B．Happy.C．Stressed.D．Determined.Back in 1930, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that with technological change and improvements in productivity, we’d be working only 15 hours a week in the near future. But while working hours have declined by 26%, most of us still work 42.5 hours a week on average, according to Eurostat figures.One of the things Keynes underestimated is our desire to compete with our peers — a drive that makes us work more than we need to. “We don’t measure productivity by how many acres we’ve harvested, so the amount of working time becomes an indicator.” says Alex Soojung-Kim Pang.Due to computerization and globalization in the 1980s, managers could demand more of employees under the threat that jobs could be given to someone else, so the pressure increased. And we took it, overwhelmed with the pressure while shouldering the burden all the same at thecost of our health. Psychologist Barbara Killinger writes such a phenomenon in Workaholics: The Respectable Addicts.But far from delivering productivity, value, or personal fulfillment, overwork has been proven to lead to burnout, stress, poor health, etc. Nevertheless, we persisted — until the fourth Industrial Revolution came along.The fourth Industrial Revolution has accelerated the move towards automation and AI, especially for jobs with high physical proximity (接近). Economist Dr. Carl Frey predicts that at least 40% of current jobs will be lost to automation by 2050.There are exceptions. Jobs that involve complex social interactions are beyond current robot skills, such as teaching, cleaning jobs, and jobs that rely on creativity, according to Frey and Osborne.According to McKinsey, those whose work falls outside the caring, cleaning and creative fields will still work in the future, just differently. In about 60% of occupations, it’s estimated that a third of the tasks can be automated, meaning substantial changes to the way we work. A large-scale study carried out by accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers predicted that over the next 20 years, although 7 million jobs will be lost to AI, 7.2 million new ones will be created as a result. So we will work in the future: we just don’t know what we’ll be doing yet.46．What do the figures in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate?A．Our working time failed to decrease as much as predicted.B．Technology keeps changing with the development of society.C．Keynes’ prediction mainly focused on productivity improvement.D．Overwork will result in fierce competition between employees.47．What might lead to the disagreement between the reality and Keynes estimation?A．People’s false sense of time.B．People’s awareness of peer competition.C．People’s ignoring the quality of their jobs.D．People’s pressure to increase productivity.48．How did most employees respond to the managers’ pressure in the 1980s?A．They argued for fairness.B．They devoted more to their work.C．They tried to escape shouldering the burden.D．They emphasized the importance of their health.49．Which of the following situations will appear under the influence of automation and AI?A．Counseling service will be paid less attention to.B．More and more cleaners become unemployed in cities.C．A majority of teachers will be replaced by robots.D．The types of jobs with high physical proximity will be transformed.50．What is McKinsey’s attitude towards automation and AI?A．Worried.B．Hopeful.C．Objective.D．Indifferent.Yesterday, I was standing in line at a store and the song Please Come to Boston which was quite popular when I was in high school, came on in the background. I hadn’t heard it for years. Suddenly, I was overcome by flashbacks of people and places linked to that song from earlier stages of my life.It seems people tend to be extremely nostalgic (怀旧的) about the music they listened to when they were young. Psychological research has shown that autobiographical memories (life experiences) from certain time periods are remembered better than others. One obvious phenomenon is the “reminiscence bump” (记忆隆起): the fact that people tend to recall memories from when they were 10 to 30 years old much better. That’s because this period contains many novel and self-defining life experiences such as graduation and marriage. Biological changes may also boost the effectiveness of our memories from this period.In our experiment, we investigated the presence of the “musical reminiscence bump” in a group of 470 adults aged 18 to 82. Our aim was to examine how a person’s age when a song was popular affected three related but distinct concepts: the degree to which the song was associated with autobiographical memories, how familiar the song was and how much they liked the song. Participants were shown the titles and artists of 111 pop songs that had featured in the charts across a 65-year period (1950~2015). After a given time, they were asked to complete the measurement.We discovered music during one’s adolescence was rated as more familiar. In addition, we found some songs were preferred regardless of a participant’s age. For instance, we saw a generalincrease in how much people liked songs from the late 1970s to early 1980s, even in participants who weren’t yet born during that time period. Examples of songs we used from this time period include Hotel California by the Eagles.Music can undeniably cause nostalgia. For example, advertisers want to elicit (引出) a nostalgic reaction from a certain group of consumers. And they should notice doctors who aim to reconnect patients suffering from memory loss with self-defining memories from their pasts can also take advantage of nostalgia.51．What does the author want to imply through his own experience at a store?A．His taste for music in high school.B．His way of killing the boring queuing time.C．The link between sales and background music.D．Music’s ability to waken memories from the past.52．What can be concluded about the reminiscence bump?A．It helps improve our childhood memories)B．It still remains a mystery to modern science.C．Events occurring during it are more memorable.D．It explains why some have a better memory than others.53．What were participants required to do in the study?A．Make a list of their favorite songs and artists.B．Provide ratings of three music-related questions.C．Learn to sing some songs released in the past 65 years.D．Compare the features of pop songs from different periods.54．What did the researchers find in their experiment?A．The Eagles were a representative band in the late 20th century.B．Pop music stars’ adolescence had a great impact on their works.C．The late 1970s and early 1980s were the peak of music creation.D．Pop music from certain time periods was favored by different generations.55．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Musical nostalgia has practical applications in life.B．All doctors are responsible for treating nostalgia.C．Too much nostalgia may lead to memory loss to a degree.D．Advertisers are good at analyzing consumers’ musical tastes.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Of the many factors that contribute to poor performance on standardized tests like the SAT, nerves and exhaustion, surprisingly, (21) ______ not rank very high. In fact, according to a new paper published in Journal of Experimental Psychology, a little anxiety – not to mention fatigue – might actually be a very good thing.The study was conducted by psychology professors Phillip Ackerman and Ruth Kanfer. They recruited 239 college freshmen, each (22) ______ (agree) to take three different versions of the SAT reasoning test (23) ______ (give) on three consecutive Saturday mornings. The tests would take three-and-a-half hours, four-and-a-half hours and five-and-a-half-hours, and would be administered (24) ______ a random order to each of the students. (25) ______ (boost) the stress level in the students – who had already taken the SAT in the past and gotten into college – Ackerman and Kanfer offered a cash bonus to any volunteers who (26) ______ (beat) their high-school score.(27) ______ the test began on each of the three Saturdays, the students filled out a questionnaire that asked them about their fatigue level, mood and confidence. They completed the questionnaire again at a break in the middle of the test and once more at the end. Together, all of these provided a sort of fever chart of the students’energy and anxiety during the experience.When the researchers scored the results, it came as no surprise that volunteers’fatigue and stress rose steadily (28) ______ the test got longer. (29) ______ was unexpected was their corresponding performance: as the length of the test increased, so (30) ______ the students’scores.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A.confusinglyB. robbingC. applyD. acceleratesE. bearableF. fearG. underlyingH. temporarilyI. claimsJ. bargainK. outcomesThe Danger of SharentingFor the vast majority of people, checking social media involves a mix of expectation and curiosity. The app feeds on a collective ____31____ that we are missing out on something, whether it’s a fabulous party, a pop-up sale, or the mere concept of vacation. But the same concept doesn’t quite ____32____ to parents sharing pictures of their young children online. There certainly may be an element of proud boasting: “Admire my little son’s taste in jazz,” etc. But these carefully chosen photos often do little more than help parents escape from a harsh day _____33_____. The isolation of parenthood delivers one to strange places, and you need your tribe. Sharing images on social media makes the experience ____34____, connecting one to a larger world.In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that “sharenting” happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It ____35_____ a child’s entry into “digital life.” Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two-thirds of identity-fraud cases affecting today’s children will have been caused by sharenting.For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission, ____36_____ them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett’s second, much broader concern. The _____37_____ problem with sharenting is the same with many adult-world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst-case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real-world ____38_____, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today, long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to “thousands, likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users.”How long will it be until someone ___39_____ the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?Plunkett’s concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett’s advice is to “make more mindful choices” about digital lives though parenthood is often so ____40____ vague that mindfulness seems impossible.III. Reading Comprehension 45%Section A 15%Directions:For each blank in the following passages 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.(A)You can actually catch a good mood or a bad mood from your friends, accordingto a recent study in the journal Royal Society Open Science. But that shouldn’t stop you from ___41___ with pals who are down in the dumps, say the study authors: ___42___, the effect isn’t large enough to push you into depression.The new study adds to a growing body of research suggesting that happiness and sadness—as well as lifestyle and behavioral factors like smoking, drinking, obesity, fitness habits and even the ability to concentrate—can ___43___ across social networks, both online and in real life. But while many ___44___ studies have only looked at friendship data at one point in time, this is one of the few that measured social and mood changes over time.The new research involved groups of junior-high and high-school students who took part in ___45___ screenings（筛查） and answered questions about their best friends, many of whom were also enrolled in the study. In total, 2,194 students were included in the ___46___, which used a mathematical model to look for connections among friend networks.Overall, kids whose friends suffered from bad moods were more ___47___ to report bad moods themselves—and they were less likely to have improved when they were screened again six months to a year later. When people had more happy friends, ___48___, their moods were more likely to improve over time.Some symptoms related to depression—like helplessness, tiredness and loss of interest—also seemed to follow this ___49___, which scientists call “social contagion.” But this isn’t something that people need to ___50___, says lead author Robert Eyre, a doctoral student at the University of Warwick. Rather, it’s likely just a “___51___ empathetic response that we’re all familiar with, and something we recognize by common sense,” he says. In other words, when a friend is going through a rough patch, it makes sense that you’ll feel some of their ___52___, and it’s certainly not a reason to stay away.The study also found that having friends who were clinically depressed did not ___53___ participants’ risk of becoming depressed themselves. “Your friends do not put you at risk of illness,” says Eyre, “so a good course of action is simply to ___54___ them.” To boost both of your moods, he suggests doing things together that you both ___55___—and taking other friends along to further spread those good feelings, too.”41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information givenin the passage you have just read.(A)For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets，and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history hasthe car and been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk,the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的)columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience--one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,” Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today，as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become moredenser, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”--are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.56. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The general view of elevators.B. The particular interests of experts.C. The desire for a remarkable machine.D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.57. The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ______A. to contrast their functions with elevators’B. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD. to explain people’s preference for elevators58. According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from otherlife experiences?A. Vertical directionB. Lack of excitement.C. Little physical space.D. Uncomfortable conditions.59. The author urges readers to consider______.A. the exact number of elevator loversB. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the role of elevators in city developmentD. the relationship between cars and elevators(B)We have designed all our bank cards to make your life easier.How to use your NatWest ServicecardAs a Switch card, it lets you pay for all sorts of goods and services, wherever you see the Switch logo.

As he looked back over his short life, the Dutchman found little to celebrate among the endeavors of his faltering career. By conventional, middle-class standards, he was a failure. After a couple of dead-end teaching jobs in England, as well as a short, forgettable spell working in a bookshop in Dordrecht, he moved to Amsterdam to become a minister of religion, following in his father’s footsteps. At the end of 1878, he set off for the depressed coalmining district of the Borinage to the west of the city of Mons in Belgium, determined to establish himself as a preacher(牧师) to the working class.There, he lived in a humble hut, gave away much of his money, and changed his smart clothes into the practical work-wear of the “Borins.” Unfortunately, he was not a gifted speaker, so his meetings were sparsely attended. His inability to connect with the local coalminers was compounded by a practical, linguistic difficulty: he couldn’t make head or tail of their quick-fire regional dialect known as “Walloon French,” while they were mystified by his own attempts at French,which to their ears sounded overly formal. In July 1879, only half a year after he had arrived in the region, he received another setback: the authorities terminated his trial religious appointment.Yet it was at this rock-bottom moment that van Gogh, now 26, started to draw. “I often feel homesick for the country of paintings,” he wrote to his brother Theo in the summer of 1880. He felt sympathy for the working-class miners. For the first time in his life, middle-class van Gogh was friends with poor, working-class people. The people were poor and illiterate, and their work was hard and dangerous. Yet for van Gogh, there was some kind of bigger truth in their simple way of life. After he became an artist, he chose to find his subject matter there. Like artists that he admired, such as Jean-Francois Millet, he wanted to portray the life of working-class people, and he remained interested in doing so certainly for the first half of his career. Really, it stayed important to him forever. In addition to this general concern for everyday reality and the rural poor, particular themes that van Gogh encountered in the Borinage would later feature prominently in his art. As he once put it in a letter: “It was in the Borinage that I began to work from nature for the first time.”Few works from van Gogh’s Borinage period survived, because the artist burned most of them. As he revealed in a letter to a friend, he felt they were too clumsy or related to an uncertain time when he was still developing his own style and artistic voice.63. What happened to Vincent van Gogh in 1878?A. He learned a lot from different jobs.B. He felt dissatisfied with his career.C. He was a member of the working class.D. He became the apprentice of his father.64. Why did van Gogh have difficulty communicating with the local miners?A. The miners didn’t appreciate his dressing style.B. Their French wasn’t agreeable in each other’s ear.C. His French pronunciation wasn’t standard.D. He had trouble in making a speech.65. What can we infer from the passage?A. Van Gogh interacted with working-class people all through his life even thoughhe was born middle-class.B. Van Gogh and Jean-Francois Millet both found inspiration from the rural peoplein the Borinage.C. Van Gogh’s paintings in the Borinage mirrored the life of working-class people.D. Van Gogh ruined many of his works in the Borinage because his artistic voicewas unheard then.66. What is the proper title of the passage?A. The Subject of van Gogh’s Works.B. The Turning Point of Van Gogh’s Life.C. The Way van Gogh Viewed His Art.D. The Working Class and Van Gogh’s success.Section C 8%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. You are only allowed to purchase a firearm if you have had a background checkand meet certain legal requirements.B. There have been many enlightening articles on gun control in America.C. If you were to visit the United States for two months, the only gun you mightsee is in a museum or on a police officer.D. Less than fifty percent of homes in the United States own weapons, and many ofthose homes are in rural areas where guns may have a greater use.E. More people are deciding to legalize their gun transactions instead of buyingthem on the black market.F. What alarms people the most about American gun culture are the illegal guns and shooting.Guns have a special place in American culture, and though not everyone agrees on whether or not they are a good thing, there is no mistaking that they will be part of the cultural landscape for some time. To answer the question, no, not everyone has a gun._____67_____. Americans use guns for one of two uses: either for sport, where they can use them on firing ranges or for hunting in approved areas, or for self-protection. The latter is where most people begin to take sides, either arguing for the removal of guns from society or allowing more people to have them. There are organizations and community groups for both sides and both sides have strong feelings.Legally, there are restrictions on gun owners._____68_____. Only certain kinds of weapons can be purchased by the public, and that excludes automatic weapon and military grade weaponry Gun owners must transport their weapon in a safe way, unloaded and in most cases, out of sight. Special—concealed carry permits from the police station must be obtained for people who want to wear weapon, and most people are rejected for this kind of permit. ______69______. Criminals steal guns or buy them illegally to commit crimes, and the news is terrible stories of what happened next. Occasionally a child will get a hold of legal weapon and accidentally hurt themselves or others.It is important to remember, however, that the news stories that make the United States seem like a dangerous place are deceiving; guns are not everywhere or constant.______70_____. After all. America is a safe place to live.IV. Summary Writing 10%Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the mainpoint(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.ShynessIf you suffer from shyness, you are not alone, for shyness is a universal phenomenon. It is not surprising that social scientists are learning more about its causes.The first environmental cause of shyness many be a child’s home and family life. Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families, with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby. Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time, children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbours and friends. Because of their lack of social skills, they may begin to feel socially inhibited, or shy, when they start school.A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture. In a large study conducted in Japan, 57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy. Researchers Henderson and Zimbardo say, “One expectation is that in Japan an individual performance success is credited externally to parents, teachers, and others, while failure is entirely blamed on the person.” Therefore Japanese learn not take risks in public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.Technology may also play a role. In the United States, the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years .Due to our huge advances in technology, watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people. Adults, too, are becoming more isolated as a result of technology. Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks, gas station attendants, and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banking, fill their gas tanks, and order goods. In short, they become shy.It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives. Therefore, if you are shy, you have lots of company.V.

They were tied with a silk ribbon and addressed to her decades ago in my father’s neat handwriting. I couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.“Would you like me to read them to you?” Mom asked with a smile.The letters were written in 1974 over the course of a month when my father traveled to Italy to care for his beloved, sick mother, leaving his wife and me, their newborn daughter, behind in Toronto, the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956.Growing up, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words, part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life.I sat back while my mother read his letters to me, and thought, “Who is this guy?” My father used endearing terms I had never heard him say. He referred to my mother as “my dearest” and “my companion” who was always in his thoughts. In each letter, he enclosed a Canadian one-dollar bill for me and declared, “You and your mother are my life.”As children, we assume we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out that they were and are people with various facets.My father was proud and stubborn, and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard. During their 58-year marriage, their stubbornness often led to conflict. So it was bittersweet to hear my father’s youthful sentiments read aloud by my elderly mother with a wistful (留恋的) tone. I knew she was thinking about what could have been and what had been once upon a time. After she finished reading the letters, I held them in my hands and examined them like they were fossils. Although a man I knew as economical with his thoughts, he had filled the front and back of several pages.These letters are only part of their correspondence. My mother wrote back to my father. One day she will read those letters to me, she’s assured me. And just as with my father, they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.41．What kind of person did the author think her father was?A．Optimistic.B．Conservative.C．Sensitive.D．Romantic. 42．What can we know about the author’s family?A．Her mother was the family’s provider.B．She didn’t get on well with her father.C．Her parents were emigrants to Italy.D．Her parents shared similar personalities. 43．How did the author feel when she heard the words in the letters?A．Surprised.B．Awkward.C．Thrilled.D．Heartbroken. 44．What does the underlined word “facets” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?A．Interests.B．Ideas.C．Sides.D．Possibilities. 45．What did the author find out about her father through the letters?A．He was good at hiding his feelings.B．He regretted not being with his family.C．He was a loving husband and father.D．He was stubborn from the inside out.People may use the expression “birdbrain” in English to talk about someone who is stupid,but crows prove that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies.It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively, put things into categories, and make scientific discoveries.To test this ability in animals, scientists do “relational matching-to-sample”(RMTS) tests, according to the IFL Science website. If a pair was AA, for example, then picking BB to match it would be correct. If the pair was CD, however, then EF would be correct.Apes and monkeys have learned RMTS, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman from the University of Iowa in the US first trained two hooded crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called “identity matching-to-sample (IMTS)”, then moved onto RMTS.For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plastic tray that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample card. The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards: One was the same as the sample (in the color, shape, or number of shapes pictured), while the other wasn’t. The cup with the card that matched the sample card contained two worms to eat.In the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with relational matching pairs. A card with two same-sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles. The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time, Science News reports.Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. “What the crows have done is extraordinary,” he said in a news release. “Honestly, if it was only by force that the crows showed this learning, then it would have been an impressive result. But this was spontaneous.”So perhaps it’s time to stop saying “birdbrain” permanently!46．Why does the author mention the expression “birdbrain” in the opening paragraph?A．To get the reader interested in the origins of the expression.B．To urge people to stop saying that birds are stupid.C．To introduce the topic of Edward Wasserman and his experiments.D．To introduce recent findings about crows’ intelligence.47．Which of the following is TRUE about the tests on the hooded crows?A．The birds did better in RMTS than in IMTS.B．The birds were first made to do RMTS, then IMTS.C．The birds picked almost all the correct cards in RMTS.D．In the IMTS test, the birds needed to identify the sample card to get rewards.48．In the RMTS test, if the birds were given the sample card with two same-sized triangles, they had to pick the test card with ________.A．two same-sized circles B．one circle and one triangleC．two different-sized circles D．two different-sized triangles49．The underlined word “spontaneous” in the second-to-last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.A．central B．creative C．natural D．predictable 50．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Monkeys Are Clever Than Crows B．Crows Show ClevernessC．Crows Did Well in RMTS D．Don’t Look Down on BirdsTrust as explained in Wikepedia (维基百科) is the feeling of being sure someone or something can be relied upon. Trust is a big topic in many people’s lives. It produces an emotional feeling that is tied to the core of a person’s very existence.Why do we want to break anyone’s trust? Why does this happen over and over again? It may arise from pride, control, dislikes, a difference of opinion and misunderstandings. Perhaps when you are living your life without self-worth and self-love then you are living your life in a continual state of negative thoughts and feelings. What you feel inside is evident by what you do and what you say. When you shift your energy within yourself and find your place of love and worth then your view of this world will change for the better. This energy shift towards the positive will shift everything that you think, say and do. Being kind to yourself projects outward to the world by being kind and good to others. This projection is the outcome of this positive energy shift. Our true self is one of love and feeling worthy of all of the goodness and happiness.We have a tendency to look outside of ourselves for content when this feeling of content can be found within ourselves. The answers to our questions about life and love are within us.Sometimes we need to give ourselves a break and to be most loving, most kind and most patient with us. Care for and love yourself to find the joy within. The love and peace of this world is in each and every one of us.Meditation (沉思) can bridge that trust that we can have in ourselves. Then we can have more trust in the world and in others. When everything around us is breaking up meditation can help to keep us centered so we can find that deep connection of love and worthiness. That is your true self wanting to shine through. We can’t control anything else but we can control what we do.When you choose to help yourself then you choose to trust yourself. Trust can lead us to a life of peace and love and fulfillment. The world has its own programs. Trust in love and peace and live your life like you mean it!51．The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.A．background B．comparison C．explanation D．comment52．If you want to have a positive life attitude, you should ________.A．save your inside energy to create positive thingsB．find a place where you’ll be respectedC．make sure what you truly want to do and sayD．try to show your true self naturally and continuously53．When you fail or feel disappointed you should ________.A．stop and adjust yourselfB．continue to work even harderC．reduce the degree of your feeling of contentD．try to fully recognize your own fault54．Based on this text meditation might make us ________.A．modest when we achieve somethingB．move from mistrust to trustC．live a meaningful and unchangeable lifeD．control ourselves successfully as well as the outside world55．By writing this text the author wants to________.A．encourage us to trust ourselvesB．teach us how to deal with negative energyC．explain what love and worth areD．show the importance of meditation阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
