Central Asia and Europe have(23)_____(small)decline,with an18%drop.The WWF says the changes are caused by human activity(One of the biggest threats(24)______(face)wildlife is the number of acres of forest that are being chopped down(25)___________the land can be used for farming instead.To find the best way to protect animals worldwide,the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN)is studying how easy or hard(26)_____will be to help different species.It has so far found that the populations of several animals,including the pink pigeon and the Sumatran rhino,(27)_____be boosted.While some news from the Living Planet Report is worrisome,there is good news,too.Up to now the numbers of many species(28)_____(rise)around the world because of people's efforts to protect them.In India,the number of tigers has nearly doubled since2009.And in2020,there were more than50sightings of the critically(29)_____(endanger)Antarctic blue whale.In the US,conservation efforts in recent decades have helped to save several species, including the bald eagle,which(3)______(remove)from the threatened species list in2007.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.assigned.B.bond.C.consequently.D.deliberately.E.discomfortF.eliminateG.measured.H.pass.I.reluctantJ.revealK.sympatheticThere are plenty of complaints about how social media—texting in particular—may be harming children's social and intellectual development.But a new study suggests that constant instant messaging(IM'ing)and texting among teens may also provide benefits,particularly for introverts,who are___31___to tell their thoughts to others.British researchers analyzed150conversations exchanged by231teens.In100of these chats, the study participant began IM'ing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness or anger. The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral.After the chat, participants reported a20%reduction in their distress—not enough to completely___32___it but enough to leave them feeling better than they had before reaching out.“Our findings suggest that IM'ing between distressed adolescents and their peers may___33___contribute to their well-being,"the authors write,noting provide emotional relief and that prior research has shown that people___34___to talk to strangers either in real life or online improved their mood in both settings,but even more with IM.And people who talk with their real-life friends online also report(feeling closer to them than those who just communicate with each other face-to-face,implying a strengthening of their___35___.Why would digital communication beat human contact?The regions are complex,but may have something to do with the fact that users can control their expressions of sadness and other emotions they may be having via IM without having to___36___emotional elements such as tears, which some may consider as embarrassing or sources of___37___.Studies also show that the anonymity(匿名)of writing on a device blankets the users in a sense of safely.Prior research has shown that expressive writing itself can"vent"emotions and provide a sense of relief—and doing so,knowing that your words are reaching a(n)___38___friend may be even more therapeutic. Researchers also found that introverted participants reported more relief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extroverts did.In fact,introverts care deeply for their friends, family and colleagues,but even the most socially skilled ones sometimes long for a free___39___from having to socialize or having to talk on the phone.This is what the Internet___40___offers:the chance to connect—but ins(剂量)and from behind a screen.III.Reading Comprehension(45分)Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A skywell,or"tian jing",is a tvpical feature of a traditional home in China.___41___a northern Chinese courtyard,or“yuan zi”a skvwell is smaller and less exposed to the outdoor environment.They are___42___seen in homes dating to Ming and Qing dynasties,which were designed to____43_____different generations of relatives.Although a skywell's size and design vary from region to region,it is always rectangular and located in the Core of a house,either___44___by rooms on four sides or three sides plus a wall. Skywells were designed to cool buildings before air-conditioning existed.When wind blows above a skywell house,it can enter the indoor space through the opening.Because outdoor air is often cooler than indoor air,the___45___breeze travels down the walls to the lower storeys and create air___46___by replacing warmer indoor air,which rises and leaves through the opening.The main purpose of a skywell is to allow in light,improve ventilation(通风)and___47___ rainwater.In Huizhou,a skywell is small but tall,and the rooms around it can___48___sunlight on hot days,enabling the bottom of the skywell to stay cool.___49___hot air inside the house can rise and escape through the opening above the skywell,which“works just like a___50___”As a(n)___51___space between indoor life and the outdoor environment,a skywell acts as an effective heat buffer(缓冲)to shield residents from the hot air outside.But the largest part of skywell's cooling effect actually comes when there are bodies of water in the enclosure.Evaporated water cools hot air,a process known as evaporative cooling which is___52___in Huizhou skywells.In the past,Huizhou families collected rainwater in their skywells because they believed this could safeguard and boost their wealth.Skywells therefore have channels around them to___53___rainwater coming from the roofs.Though existing in China for hundreds of years,in recent times they have often been forgotten by people who prefer modern___54___.Over the past two decades,however,due to a___55 ___of traditional Chinese architecture,skywell buildings have been making a comeback.41.A.Parallel with B.Different from.

D.rearrangement Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)As mountains go,1,642-foot Squaw Peak isn't particularly imposing.But its inviting views of western Massachusetts have tricked hikers into becoming less cautious among its steep,slippery cliffs,resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.Henry Grant,a week before starting his freshman year,respected Squaw Peak's record.As such,he stayed a good ten feet from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up to him one day in August2019.He watched15or so other hikers enjoy the view;one hiker,around60and dressed in pink,was peeking over the lip of the cliff with her husband.Suddenly he heard something frightening:“Paula!Paula!”a man yelled frantically.Grant turned around.The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen.Several hikers immediately started looking for her.Uncertain they could help,Grant and his mother headed down the trail.But when he saw hikers still searching,he decided to lend a hand.“My young dumb brain was like,I can do it,"he says.After15minutes of scrambling over rocks,Grant spotted a figure in pink.The woman had fallen about75feet.Miraculously,she was alive.“Paula!”Grant shouted.“Paula.Is that you?”The woman barely responded.She was clearly hurt and delirious.Grant called911and waited, but she kept trying to move,and every time she moved,she slipped a little more.Afraid that in her disorderly state of mind she might fall off the rock to her death,Grant crawled on all fours up a tight,narrow path,gaining friction by digging into the dirt with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.Securing himself against a tree,Grant tried to keep her mind off the pain by intervening with questions;“Where are you from?What do you do for a living?Do you have kids?”About45minutes later,first responders arrived,To reach them,a rescuer lowered down and lifted Paula up.Paula,who has fully recovered,is Paula Kaplan-Reiss,a New Jersey psychologist who had traveled to the Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts for some relief following her mother's death. Instead,she met a young man who,as she stated in a letter to the Boston Globe,was her new hero.56.Paula's accident on Squaw Peak is most likely the result of_________.A.the heavy blow caused by her mother's deathB.the slippery cliffs that resulted in many injuries and deathsC.her being less safety-conscious at the breathtaking views.D.her husband's neglect of care while accompanying her57.What does the underlined word“delirious”in Paragraph6mean according to the context?A.Unable to move.B.Unable to stay conscious.C.Unable to talk.D.Unable to think clearly.58.Why did Grand keep asking Paula questions?A.To distract her attention from the pain.B.To find out her condition.C.To encourage her to hold on.D.To get to know her better.59.What kind of person is Henry Grant according to the article?A.Dumb and brave.B.Decisive and sensible.C.Respectful and caring.D.Reserved and calm.(B)While writing plain English is no challenge,most of us struggle to find words or phrases to perfectly fall in place with the content.To help you improve your writing skills in English,we have collected some of the best web resources dedicated to this mission.Grammarly●Grammarly is one of the best online resources to grammarlysignificantly improve your vocabulary and writing.It isbasically an online word processor,which goes beyond others incorrecting over250types of English mistakes.Thespell-checker and vocabulary enhancer are the standout features of Grammarly.●Since the Grammarly app is also available for your web browser,you can simply install the extension and edit all of your Emails,social media posts,or any content that you create from your web browser.●Although Grammarly is offered as free installation,a premium plan does exist which costs around$29.95/month.Thesaurus●Thesaurus is one of the vital tools that every goodEnglish writer has in their storehouse.Building onvocabulary is essential and that is what Thesaurus justoffers.Thesaurus helps users by providing alternativewords and phrases to perfectly express themselves.It alsooffers the best collection of synonyms and antonyms.●Overuse of cliches.adverbs or bulky phrases is some examples of poor writing,which needs to be addressed.In this case,the Thesaurus has a collection of some of the most overused expressions that must be avoided in written English.●Sharpen your English skills with this powerful online and mobile application tool for free.

They're not.Louisiana has the highest murder rate among states.Prison,like the police and the courts,has a minimal impact on crime because it is a response after the fact,Ht doesn't work.The idea of punishing the few to discourage the many is fake because potential criminals either think they're not going to get caught or they're so psychologically distressed that they don't care.about the consequences of their actions.The threatened punishment,regardless of its severity,is never a factor in the equation.Prison has a role in public safety,but it is not a cure-all.The only effective way to contain crime is for society to work to prevent the criminal act in the first place.Our youngsters must be taught to respect humanity of others and to handle dispute without violence.It is essential to educate and equip them with the skills to pursue their life ambitions in a meaningful way.As a community,we must address the adverse life circumstances that breed criminality.These things are not quick,and they are not easy,but they are effective.Politicians think that's too hard a sell. They want something they can point to at re-election time.So the drumbeat goes on for more police,more prisons,more of the same failed policies.Ever see a dog chase its own tail?63,Which of the following situations is not regarded as a"silver bullet"?A Employing a roundabout way to help students correct their mistakes.B.Setting up refuges to shelter the homeless war victims.C.Training farmers with farming techniques to help them out of poverty.D.Adopting effective policies to save economy from worsening.64.According to the passage,law makers'failure to make proper legislation is due to the fact that_______.A.they are proud and boastful of high lock-up ratesB.they fail to address the root of the problemC.they don't treat people of different races alikeD.they give priority to precaution over punishment65.The idiom best describing the effective way to ease the severity of crime in Louisiana is_____A.turn over a new leaf.B.get a kick out of itC.an eye for an eye.D.prevention is better than cure66.What is the best title for the passage?A.Prisons—A Tool for Election.B.Why Prisons Don't WorkC.An Appeal from a Murderer.D.Why Society Is a Safer Place Section CDirections:Read the following passages.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.They are culturally distant,and so have far less borrowed European vocabulary too.B.This more than anything else accounts for the difficulty of the language.C.Indeed,none of the hardest languages is written with the Latin alphabet used by most European languages.D.But foreign writing systems need not be difficult.E.The overall hardness of a language can be seen as the sum of the difficulty of its writing system,sounds,words and grammar.F.But just as hart is the problem of languages that make distinctions our language does notWhich Languages Take the Longest to LearnThe difficulty in learning a foreign language lies not only in its inherent complexity.The main reason a language is hard is that it is different from your own.What underlies the difficulty of such languages for an English-speaker?The first thing many learners will think of is the writing system. ______67______Chinesestands out for its difficulty.It is commonly said that a learner must memorize around2,000characters to be able to read a newspaper.But even this estimate is criticized.Someone with2,000characters will still have to look up unfamiliar ones in every few lines of text.A second way languages can be hard is with sounds and distinctions that do not exist in the learner's language,To an English-speaker,the novelties include the clicks of many African languages._______68_______Mandarin and Cantonese have tones,meaning ma with an even pitch and ma with a falling one are different words.The vocabulary obviously matters too.Most European languages share an ancestor(called proto-Indo European)and so their words,too,often come in related pairs.If you know water in Spanish is agua,it is easy to figure out Italian acqua and English nguages unrelated to the European ones(Arabic from the Semitic family,or Chinese from the Sino-Tibetan one) will not only lack the“genetic”overlap in vocabulary.____69______.Finally,there is grammar.Many people associate tricky grammar with long lists of endings that change according to a word's use in a sentence Many languages even feature an ending on verbs indicating how the speaker knows the information to be true._____70_____If you want to learn a language just for fun,start with Swedish,If you want to accumulate an impressive number.Stay in Europe.But if you really want to impress. mastering Mandarin is the sign of the true linguistic Ironman.IV.Summary Writing(10分)71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.Does Reading Improve HealthWhen thinking about our well being and taking care of ourselves,some things that weshould do are harder than others.Reading is one of the easier ones.What follows are a number of ways in which reading can help maintain and improve health.Reading allows you to de-stress by unplugging and escaping.In one study,reading was found to be as effective as yoga and humor in reducing subjective feelings of stress over a30-minute period,as well as blood pressure and heart rate.Note that a good old-fashioned book or a dedicated eBook reader is the best way to do this.Readers may live longer than non-readers.One study found that this was supposed to be due to the effect that reading has on maintaining cognitive abilities over time.In another study of individuals aged64and over,those who read at least once a week were less likely to experience cognitive decline than those who did not.At the14-year mark of the study,and regardless of educational level,those who read more enjoyed greater protection.This effect is maintained into readers'80's.Bibliotherapy,or the use of various reading materials for the promotion of psychological health,is a well-known aid to mental health treatment.Bibliotherapy can consist of any type of literature and may include self-help books,focused readings,first-hand accounts of others' experiences,and even relevant fiction.This can be a powerful strategy and has been used successfully to reduce depression,suicidal thinking,anxiety,stress and etc.The benefits of reading are innumerable and reading is a low to no-cost activity.Cheap and no-cost books are everywhere,Public libraries continue to be one of the most amazing resources.If you aren't a natural reader,you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.第二卷V.Translation(15分）Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.虽然青少年爱和父母顶嘴，但是他们内心是尊重父母的。

I am worried thatSam may be suffering from this illness because he feels anxious if he doesn’t have his phone with him, even for a shor t time.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Considering how much time people spend in offices, it is important that work spaces be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation’s image. They motivate workers, and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or They make businesses work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture we live in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers have come up with to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.” These solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.As employee hierarchies(等级制度)have flattened, or decreased, office designers’ response to this change has been tomove open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage and equipment within the workstation. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by lowing the walls that workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places, and upgraded employees’ to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often demands, including budgetary limits, employee hierarchies and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or promote a company’s image and will enable employees to at their best.All these of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like a go od marriage ― the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made foreach other.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect a deep interest in romance among the artists. , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more to people’s lives. The is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, butclean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their judgments often held true. Students seemed to at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones―natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell,however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people. Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.51. A. Instead52. A. romantic53. A. priority54. A. tested B. Therefore B. stressful B. proof B. imposedB. virtuesC. Moreover C. centralD.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discoveredeven more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of folk art during several years of research around the world.For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen―an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of artistic freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich,Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the B gg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the B gg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile islit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over―the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.67. “The heyday of the snowman” (Paragraph 4) means the time when___________.A. snowmen were made mainly by artistsC. snowmen were politically criticized B. snowmen enjoyed great popularityD. snowmen caused damaging floods68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the B gg symbolizes__________________.A. the start of the paradeC. the passing of the winter B. the coming of a longer summerD. the success of tradesmen69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?A. They were appreciated in history.C. They were related to movies.(B)B. They have lost their value. D. They vary in shape and size.70. In the film review, what is Paragraph A mainly about?A. The introduction to the leading roles.C. The writer’s comments on the story. B. The writer’s opinion of acting.D. The background information.71. According to the film review, “the monster” (paragraph B) refers to ______.A. a gun-crazy hunterC. a scary rabbit B. a brainy dogD. a giant vegetable72. Which of the following is a reason why the writer recommends the film?A. It’s full of wit and humour.B. Its characters show feelings without words.C. It is an adventure film directed by Peter Sallis.D. It is about the harmony between man and animals.(C)One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honourable man,” he said. “He was a traitor (叛徒). And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said―at least as it was presented by Shakespeare―to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to understand,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”During the last few years, business executives and bookwriters looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitab le ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, for example, Cassius’s sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organising.Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the textwith a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimises his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasise the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related. Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business when and how do you resist the boss?73. According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?A. Cruel.B. Superior.C. Honourable.D. Rude.74. According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeares” to ________.A. help executives to unde rstand Shakespeare’s plays betterB. give advice on leadership by analysing Shakespeare’s playsC. provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshopsD. guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays.75. Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?A. To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.B. To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.C. To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.D. To warn executives against power misuse.76. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized.B. executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespe are’s plays.C. the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars.D. Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field.77. The best title for the passage is _____.A. Shakespeare’s plays: Executives reco nsider corporate cultureB. Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business successC. Shakespeare’s plays: A lesson for business motivationD. Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic resultsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Youth sport has the potential to accomplish three important objectives in children’s development. First, sport programs provide youth with opportunities to be physically active, which can lead to improved physical health. Second, youth-sport programs have long been considered important to youth’s psychosocial development, providing opportunities to learn important life skills such as cooperation, discipline, leadership, and self-control. Third, youth sport programs are critical for the learning of motor skills(运动技能); these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars and recreational adult-sport participants. When coachers develop activities for youth practices and when sport organizations design youth-sport programs, they must consider the implications of deliberate play and deliberate practice.Research from Telama (20XX年) states that regularparticipation in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities during childhood and youth (ages nine to eighteen) increases the likelihood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females. Cté (20XX年) defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment. These activities are regulated by flexible rules adapted from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children or by an involved adult. Children typically change rules to find a point where their game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For example, children may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment (e.g., in the street, on a playing field or in someone’s backyard). When involved in deliberate play activities, children are less concerned with the outcome of their behaviour (whether they win or lose) than with the behaviour (having fun).On the other hand, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learning occurs through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activities require effort, produce no immediate rewards, and are motivated by the goal of improving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment. When individuals are involved indeliberate play, they experiment with new or different combinations of behaviours, but not necessarily in the most effective way to improve performance. In contrast, when individuals are involved in deliberate practice, they exhibit behaviour focused on improving performance by the most effective means available. For example, the backhand skill in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing matches or by creating fun practice situations.

One day, the musician came to a lite town and saw a sign "No beggars and no musicians." But he was too hungry to walk any further.He decided to hide his violin and pretended (假装) to be a person looking for work. He went from house to house and finally found a rich man who needed a hole digger. The musician took it.When he dug the hole, he heard a girl playing the violin. It sounded so awful that he couldn't stand it any longer. He said, "I've been listening to you playing. I'm not a musician, but perhaps I could show you something." Then he picked up the violin and played a wonderful song. Soon, the girl's parents came out.“I thought you were a hole digger," cried the rich man, "but you are a musician!"“Oh no, I'm a hole digger!" the musician said.The rich man looked at the musician's hands and found them smooth. He believed the hands had never dug a hole before. "This is a terrible hole. You're fired (解雇)!" the rich man shouted. Disappointed, the musician began to walk away, but the girl's mom called out, "Perhaps we could use a music teacher!"He taught the girl very well.

They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32 F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30 F.Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈)on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited(无人居住的). Few people can live in such a difficult place.People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道)called "leads". Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.1．This passage is probably from .A．a book review B．a science bookC．a school report D．a computer magazine2．According to the passage what happened about 100 years ago?A．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32 F.C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.D．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.3．What does this passage mainly talk about?A．The thick ice in the North Pole.B．A difficult trip to the North Pole.C．The real situation in the North Pole.D．The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.C15、Do you love having your own room? Do you hate to clean it?Sometimes your room becomes so messy(杂乱), and you can’t find what you want. You can’t even see the floor!It isn’t because you are lazy. It is because you are not arranged(有安排的).But don’t worry. American writer Julie is here to help.

Although hot weather just makes most people hot, it can cause medical problems and death.Floods, storms and other terrible natural events kill thousands of people every year. And we hear much about them in news reports. We generally hear little about heat, which experts say may be nature’s most dangerous killer.Health experts say that since the year 1900, very hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event. One year—the unusually hot summer of 1980 heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States. In 1995, more than 600 people died in]another heat wave in one city—Chicago, Illinois.Besides drinking lots of cool water, doctors say there are some other things to do to protect against the health dangers of heat. Stay out of the sun, if possible. Wear loose(宽松的)and light-colored clothes. Wear a hat while in the sun. Eat fewer hot and heavy foods. And, when possible, cook foods during cooler time of the day. If possible, rest more often.Health experts say these simple steps can prevent the dangerous health problems caused]by heat.

He walked around, showing off his power and pride.Each day Lion took a long lazy sleep under the shade of his favourite tree. He always dreamed of weaker animals bowing(鞠躬) before him.One day Mouse ran through the jungle and tripped over Lion’s huge paws. Lion woke up with a start. “How dare you wake me up! ” he shouted angrily. Lion grabbed Mouse with one paw. “On the second thought, I’m in the mood for the snack, and you’ll make a delicious meal.”, he said.Mouse cried out, “King Lion, please spare（饶恕）me! If you let me live, I’ll always remember your kindness. And, some day, I might be able to help you.”“ How could such a powerless little mouse ever help me?” That thought made Lion laugh so much that he decided to let Mouse go. A week later, Lion was walking through the jungle on the way to his favourite tree when he stepped onto a hunter’s net. The net scooped him up. No matter how he twisted and turned, he couldn’t escape.When Mouse heard Lion’s frightened shouts, he raced to help. Mouse quickly chewed through the ropes to make a hole in the net.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.The next morning he said to the men, "Have you provided me with that sunset? ""No, Sir," the men answered.The director was angry. "Why not? " he asked."Well, Sir, " one of the men answered, "we are on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset.""But I want a sunset!" the director shouted. "Go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one. "But then a young secretary had an idea. "Why don't you photograph a sunrise, " she suggested, "and then play it backwards? Then it'll look like a sunset.""That's a very good idea! " the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said, "Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea. "The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay（海湾）. Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director. "Here it is, Sir, " they said, and give it to him. He was very pleased.They all went into the studio（摄影棚）. "All right, " the director explained, "now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the 'sunset' behind them. "The "sunset" began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the file were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.86.One evening, the director sent his camera crew out____.A. to watch a beautiful sunsetB. to find an actor and an actressC. to film a scene on the seaD. to meet the audience87.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?A.

Yet I did not know the American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor-and go to court（法庭）.After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I'd have to have a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. he knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss（解雇）him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time, … and I left without getting a cent.My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship honour or professional morality（职业道德）. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.91.The author's roommate offered to help him because_____.A. he felt sorry for the authorB. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC. he knew the doctor was a very good oneD. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer92.

Going to court is something every common in AmericaB. One must be very careful while driving a carC. There are more bad sides in America than good sidesD. Money is more important than other things in the US(C)Laptop（便携式）computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptop connect people to their work place. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer programthat allows students to do school work anywhere they want. Withinfive years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are a part of a $10million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their tethers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State Officials also are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use the computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in themiddle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything. "96 The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to____.A. use for their schoolworkB. access the InternetC. work at homeD. connect them to libraries97 Why is the word "speak" in the second paragraph in quotation mark?A. They don't really talkB. They use the computer languageC. Laptops have speakersD. None of the above reasons is correct98 Which of the following is true about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computersB. 1,500 students have laptopsC. It is an old college in AmericaD. Students there can do everything99. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can____.A. attend lectures on information technologyB. travel around the worldC. get information from around the worldD. have free laptops100. What can we infer（推断）passage?A. The program is successfulB. The program is not workableC. The program is too expensiveD. We don't know the result yet(D)Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. that kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though,loneliness can last for yeas. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary（暂时地）. that is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation-for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although that kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic（长期地）usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.101.How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friendsB. Just ignore itC. Go to see a doctorD. Ask your teachers for guidance102."It" in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to_____.A. temporary lonelinessB. situational lonelinessC. a new placeD sleeplessness103.The topic of the 4th paragraph is that____.A. one problem of loneliness is a person's social contactsB. we depend on various person for different reasonsC. lonely people don't have many social problemsD. lonely people don't have many friends104. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problemsB. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illnessC. Chronic loneliness can not be overcomeD. A, B and C are all correct105 What is the best title for the passage?A. Three Kinds of LonelinessB. Loneliness and DiseasesC. Loneliness and Social ContactsD. Chronic LonelinessI.

It will impact “brands, companies, and influencers’ sponsored posts,” and concerns posts on all social media sites.The new law requires disclosures for edits made after the image was taken and before, such as Snapchat and Instagram filters that mod ify one’s appearance. Examples of edits thatpeople who are being paid for pictures are required to ____3____include “enlarged lips, narrowed waists, and exaggerated muscles,” among other things.Body pressure, or “kroppspress” in Norway, is a major topic of conversation in the country, the Ministry of Children and Family Affairs said in its report. “Young people are exposed to a(n)____4____ pressure to look good through advertising and social media, and the models ____5____ are often digitally retouched, which exposes young people to an ideal of beauty that is impossible to achieve.”By prohibiting advertisers and influencers from posting such photos without proper ____6____ with a government-authorized stamp, the Ministry said it hopes to____7____ the negative impacts of body pressure on young people. “It is especially important to prevent the desire to make more ____8____ and long-lasting changes in one’s own look,” the Ministry said. Some of Norway’s top influencers have already thought ____9____ about th e new law, “Young people today are growing up to a completely _____10_____ beauty ideal,” Husebye, who was awarded “Influencer of the Year”,said “I feel that the new law can only help them to understand that this is not how you look, but it has been edited.”二、阅读理解There have been many great violinists but none could hold a candle to Kuznetsov, a miraculous young Russian. On his emergence while still in his teens, his playing was filled with timeless wisdom beyond his years; he now holds the stage with immense authority. So it comes no surprise that he is about to add a new string to his bow. When he performs with the English Chamber Orchestra, it will be as both soloist(独奏者)and conductor. “It’s something I’ve often thought about,” he says.Other musicians who have traded the bow or piano for the baton(指挥棒)have failed; the transition is not easy, of which he is aware. “The most crucial thing is the human chemistry between conductor and players. You must avoid at all costs being an outsider, as though saying to the orchestra, ‘You make your music while I imagine mine.’”He is quite relaxed about not yet having his own hand-language —every conductor is different. Kuznetsov believes the connection between notes is not just physical, but also spiritual. Spirituall y is, for Kuznetsov, the conductor’s key characteristic. “And it should ideally be expressed through beauty of movement,” he says. Some conductors threwthemselves about, others hardly move a muscle. Where will Kuznetsov fit on that scale? “We must wait and see,” he says.Kuznetsov himself moved straight as an arrow toward his goal. His father was an oboist(双簧管演奏者)and his mother conducted a choir, but at the age of four, young Leonid settled on the violin. “The violin is located at the front of the orchestra. It seemed very desirable to sit there and show off.” He gave his first concert at the age of five. “When I went on stage, I bowed so deeply and so long that he audience laughed —but I knew that this was what great artists always did. I felt it was an honour for the audience to listen to me.” His programme that day included Paganini variations, “which were very easy for me.”What is his view now of the recordings he made at that age? “I didn’t have the technique I have now but across the years the intuition has not changed. I still feel every time I go on stage as though I’m newborn.”Kuznetsov cautiously paces his own development. He didn’t give his first performance of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto until he felt ready for it, and he’ll let Bach’s works sta y in his mind for some years.One of Kuznetsov’s admirers wonders whether he is in danger of not hanging onto “the fearlessness of youth.” On the evidence of Kuznetsov’s bravely assured new interpretation of the Brahms Concerto, which he plays on a new CD release, I’d say that his fearlessness is in no danger yet.11.Kuznetsov think _________ is most important in conducting.A.the conductor’s and the orchestra’s knowledge of the compositionB.whether the conductor has cooperated with the players beforeC.the understanding between the conductor and the orchestraD.the players’ recognition of the conductor12.What can be learned about Kuznetsov from the passage?A.He didn’t start to play the violin until five.B.He plans so give Bach’s works a try first.C.He isn’t as enthusiastic as before about the violin.D.He was confident while giving his first concert.13.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Violin players are usually those who like to show off in an orchestra.B.It’s easy for piano or violin player s to become conductors.C.Kuznetsov hasn’t decided which conductor’s hand-language to follow.D.The writer thinks highly of Kuznetsov’s performance as a conductor.14.What is the passage mainly about?A.A violinist’s understanding of music.B.Kuznetsov’s efforts that have led to his success.C.A violinist’s new attempts in his musical ambitions.D.Kuznetsov’s insight into how techniques matter in performance.Jackson & Brown LtdHead Office, Bradford House,234 Manning-ham Road Bolton BL3 5QSt: 01204 249241 f: 01204 7900611 June 2020Dear ColleagueRe: __60___I am writing to make you ware of some forthcoming changes to the payment dates for your salary.

The implication is that Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other source, not a president’s social media platform.Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines. Yet as distrust has risen toward all media, people may be starting to beef up their media literacy. Such a trend is badly needed. During the 2016 presidential campaign, nearly a quarter of web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news, according to the University of Oxford. And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found 44 percent of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the media giant.Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace. A Knight Foundation focus-group survey of young people between ages 14 and 24 found they use “distributed trust” to verify stories. They cross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives---especially those that are open about any bias(偏向). “Many young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselves andactively seeking out opposing viewpoints,” th e survey concluded.Such active research can have another effect. A 2014 survey conducted in Australia, Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people’s reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately(密切地) and immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests. This forces users to be more conscious of their role in passing along information. A survey by Barna research group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is “reader error,” more so than made-up stories or factual mistakes in reporting. About a third say the problem of fake news lies in “misinte rpretation or exaggeration of actual news” via social media. In other words, the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of the issue. “This indicates there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting(抵制) this problem,” says Roxanne Stone, editor in chief at Barna Group.So when young people are critical of an over-tweetingpresident, they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills---and in their choices on when to share on social media.18.According to the Paragraphs 1 and 2, many young Americans cast doubts on ________.A.the justification of the news-filtering practiceB.peoples preference for social media platformsC.the administration’s ability to handle informationD.the reliability of social media as a source of news19.According to the Knight Foundation survey, young people ________.A.prefer biased perspectives on newsB.tend to voice their opinions in cyberspaceC.check out news by referring to diverse resourcesD.like to exchange views through “distributed trust”20.The Barna survey found that a main cause for the fake news problem is ________.A.readers’ lack of knowledgeB.journalists’ mistaken reportingC.readers’ misinterpretationD.journalists’ made-up stories21.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.A Rise in Critical Skills for Sharing News OnlineB.A Counteraction Against the Over-tweeting TrendC.The Accumulation of Mutual Trust on Social MediaD.The Platforms for Projection of Personal Values and InterestsHOW TO GET A PAY RAISEAdvice from organizational psychologist Liane Davey, author of You First: Inspire Your Team to Grow Up, Get Along, and Get Stuff Done.CHOOSE YOUR MOMENT“Tie the timing of your request for a raise to positive results. If you have a notable success in the middle of the year, start the discussion soon afterwards. Even if the pay cycle means the raise cannot happen for some time you will have seeded the conversation at a moment when your manager is feeling positively inclined towards you.”KNOW YOUR WORTH“Befo re making your request, write down a list of your accomplishments, and ask a trusted confidant what you bring to the team—particularly what is unique about your contribution—to ensure you get a comprehensive list. Be prepared to talk about the impact you have, rather than effort alone, as this is what makes your case for a raise compelling.”PLAY IT COOL“In difficult conversations, your tone and body language are especially important. Go in calmly and projecting that you believe you are adding value. Don’t under-do it by dropping eye contact or making yourself smaller. But don’t over-do it by raising your chin too high or making statements you don’t intend to follow through—that will destroy your credibility.”SK FOR CLARITY“If you are unsuccessful, first find out why your request was denied. Do not let your manager get away with a superficial answer such as “we don’t have the budget”-there is always budget, so ask what else took priority. Next, ask what specific actions you can take that will make you more likely to be given a pay raise in thefuture.”BE FLEXIBLE“Remember that pay is only one way your company can demonstrate your value. Some companies have little room for pay raises, but more room to negotiate on annual leave, flexible hours or working from home. If your efforts to get a rise are unsuccessful, do not give up without first searching for alternative sources of value.”22.Which of the following actions may hurt your credibility?A.Proposing your pay raise request at a wrong time.B.Making a list of your efforts rather than impacts.C.Making statements that you won’t follow through.D.Asking what specific actions will ensure a pay raise.23.According to the passage, all of the following are alternative sources of value except ______.A.more annual leaveB.free medical checkupsC.flexible working hoursD.the possibility of home-officing24.______ will help you clearly understand the company’s priority that will secure a pay raise.A.Knowing your worthB.Playing it coolC.Asking for clarityD.Being flexibleWhat would the world be if there were no hunger? It’s a question that the late ecologist Donella Meadows would ask her students at Dartmouth College back in the 1970s. She set out to create a global movement. The result—an approach known as systems thinking—is now seen as essential in meeting big global challenges.Systems thinking is crucial to achieving targets such as zero hunger and better nutrition because it requires considering the way in which food is produced, processed, delivered and consumed, and looking at how those things relate with human health, the environment, economics and society. According to systems thinking, changing the food system—or any other network—requires three things to happen. First, researchers need to identify all the players in that system; second, they must work out how they relate to each other; and third, theyneed to understand and quantify the impact of those relationships on each other and on those outside the system. Take nutrition for example. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization tracked 150 biochemicals in food and various databases, which revealed the relationships between calories, sugar, fat, vitamins and the occurrence of common diseases. But using machine learning and artificial intelligence, network scientists propose that human diets consist of at least 26,000 biochemicals and that the vast majority are not known. This shows that we have some way to travel before achieving the first objective of systems thinking—which, in this example, is to identify more constituent parts of the nutrition system.A systems approach to creating change is also built on the assumption that everyone in the system has equal power and status. But the food system is not an equal one. There have been calls for a World Food and Nutrition Organization, so that legally binding policies can be applied to all its members. Another way to address power imbalances is for more universities to do what Meadows did and teach students how to think using a systems approach.A team of researchers has done just that, through theInterdisciplinary Food Systems Teaching and Learning program. Students from disciplines including agriculture, ecology and economics learn together by drawing on their collective expertise in tackling real-world problems, such as how to reduce food waste. Since its launch in 2015, the program has trained more than 1,500 students from 45 university departments.More researchers, policymakers and representatives from the food industry must learn to look beyond their direct lines of responsibility and embrace a systems approach, as the editors of Nature Food advocate in their launch editorial. Meadows knew that visions alone don’t produce results, but concluded that “we’ll never produce results that we can’t envision”.25.The passage is mainly about ________.A.how to conduct research efficientlyB.how to build a world food organizationC.an approach to solving real-world problemD.an approach to applying scientific findings26.According to paragraph 3, the study conducted by networkscientists revealed that ________.A.artificial intelligence is more useful than traditional methodsB.achieving systems thinking requires identifying more componentsC.we are unable to gain thorough understanding of our nutritious systemD.some biochemicals are related with the occurrence of common diseases27.According to the passage, what do we know about the Interdisciplinary Food Systems Teaching and Learning program?A.It is the only way of solving imbalance in our food system.B.It aims to urge the governments to carry out its food policies.C.It seeks to solve theoretical issues about food and nutritionD.It has cultivated many interdisciplinary talents since its launch.28.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A.Results can’t be produced.B.Vision brings about change.C.Action matters more than saying.D.Systems thinking is too difficult to realize.三、六选四Phys ed (physical education) is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum, but with a difference.____29____Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way, kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.____30____In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often “put P.E. on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered,” says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. “Physical educationneeds to be part of the core curriculum,” she added.The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be.____31____ The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant students were able to sit on the bench. Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. ____32____A.The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood.B.While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class.C.Research shows that fit kids learn best, and that exercise has a positive impact on brain chemistry and function.D.Health and physical education provides students with the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle.E.They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports.F.Considering that 15 percent of American children aged 6 to18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum.第II卷（非选择题）请点击修改第II卷的文字说明四、完形填空Transition. It’s a pleasant word and a calming concept. It means going surely and sweetly from somewhere present to somew here future. Unless, that is, it is newspapers’ ‘transition’ to the ___33___ world, an uncertain and highly uncomfortable process.Just look at the latest print circulation figures. The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and many of the rest are down overall between 8% and 10% year-on-year, but their websites go ever higher.All of that may well be true, depending on timing, geography and more. ___34___, everyone— from web academics to print analysis—says so. Yet pause for a while and count a few little things t hat don’t ___35___.One is the magazine world, both in the UK and in the US. It ought to be ___36___, wrecked by the move to the tabletswhich fit existing magazine page sizes so perfectly. But, in fact, the rate of decline in magazine purchasing is relatively small, with subscriptions holding up strongly and advertising remarkable ___37___.As for news and current affairs magazines —which you’d expect to find in the eye of the digital storm — they had a 8.4% increase to report. In short, on both sides of the Atlantic, although some magazine areas went down, many showed rapid growth.You can discover a ___38___ phenomenon when it comes to books, Kindle and similar e-readers are booming, with sales up massively this year. The apparent first step of transition couldn’t be ___39___. Yet, when booksellers examined the value of the physical books they sold over the last six months, they found it just 0.4% down. Screen or paper, then? It wasn’t one or the other: it was ___40___.So if sales in that area have fallen so little, perhaps the ___41___ mostly affects newspapers? Yet again, though, the messages are oddly ____42____. The latest survey of trends by the World Association of Newspapers shows that global circulation rose 1.1% last year (to 812 million copies a day). Sales in the West dropped back but Asia more than____43____ the difference.Already 360 US papers—including most of the biggest and best — have built paywalls around their products. However, the best way of attracting a paying readership appears to be a deal that offers the print copy and digital access as some kind of ____44____ package.____45____, print is also a crucial tool in selling internet subscriptions. And its advertising rates raise between nine and ten times more money than online.Of course this huge difference isn’t ____46____ news for newspaper companies, as maintaining both an active website and an active print edition is difficult, complex and expensive. But newspaper brands still have much of their high profile in print: a drift on the web, the job of just being ____47____ becomes far harder.33.A.publishing B.online C.ideal D.unknown34.A.On the other handB.After allC.To begin withD.For instance35.A.stop B.exist C.emerge D.fit36.A.regulated B.advancing C.collapsing D.minimized37.A.solid B.simple C.creative D.changeable38.A.cultural mon C.scientific D.similarter B.harder C.clearer D.slower40.A.all B.neither C.both D.either41.A.service B.system C.crisis D.figure42.A.right B.vague C.designed D.mixed43.A.made up B.told apart C.took over D.held on44.A.joint B.mysterious C.modern plex45.A.In other wordsB.On the contraryC.What’s moreD.Even so46.A.new B.sad C.big D.good47.A.spared B.updated C.noticed D.edited五、用单词的适当形式完成短文Directions:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct.

Researchers have excavated (挖掘) 80% of the remains and so far have identified nine complete vertebrae (椎骨), five ribs, shoulder blade and fins. The skeleton ____49____ (measure) 12 metres, with a skull that is 3 metres long.The bones will be carbon dated to identify their age, but it is thought that they are ____50____ 3000 and 5000 years old. Bryde’s whales are still found in Thailand’s waters, ____51____ they are considered a protected species. The whales—which prefer waters above 16℃ and feed on schooling fish such as anchovies—face threats from fishing equipment ____52____ tourism.The remains, which were found about 12 kilometres inland, will help scientists understand the evolution of the species, and track ____53____ sea levels have changed over thousandsof years.Marcus Chua, of the National University of Singapore, said the discovery adds to evidence of “relatively large sea level changes around 6000 years to 3000 years ago in the Gulf of Thailand, where the shoreline was up to tens of kilometres inland in comparison to the present coast.”Previously, only marine deposits ____54____ (contain) small fossilised marine shells or crabs had been found inland, and it was not clear ____55____ those fossils had been moved by humans, said Chua. “A large subfossil whale dated thousands of years ago near Bangkok would provide strong evidence of where the sea was during that time.” he said.Such evidence is highly relevant, given that the climate crisis is contributing to risi ng sea levels. “This ____56____ certainly bring attention to the issue, and show how and where low-lying areas was flooded,” said Chua.The discovery will also help deepen researchers’ understanding of the Bryde’s whale, and other marine life. Alongside the skeleton, researchers found preserved items including shark teeth and shells. “Scientists could also study the deposits ____57____ (find) at the same level as the whale to reconstruct the biological communities present。

With the information overload brought by the progress of medicine and(3)technology(考察名词answers are rarely black or white.Medical schools are only just starting to teach doctors how to deal with this,and patients'expectations haven't(4)adjusted(考察动词过去时)either.“Medicine has always fallen short ofthe sort of certainty that we find in math and geometry”,says Dr.Ross Upshur,a researcher at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health in Toronto.“If you think about knowledge and what it does,it’s about(5)limiting(考察动名词)uncertainty,not about creating certainty.”Doctors in training,like gamblers,need to be (6)comfortable(替换为accustomed to)(考察动词短语)working in a field in which they’re constantly weighing the odds based on a myriad of factors.When Upshur teaches medical students how to diagnose a disease,he tells them to(7)broaden(考动词)their inquiry----come up with a list of possibilities,rather than quickly home in on a single solution.“Even when you make a diagnosis that you think is firm,you usually don’t have certainty about what would be the best(8)therapy(替换为cure)(考察名词)and what the outcomes will be in the longrun.”(9)Technology(考察名词)has helped redefine the quest for certainty.We are reaching a point where we can feed a list of symptoms into a computer and get a more(10)accurate(考察形容词)diagnosis than from a doctor.Dr.Richard Schwartzstein,a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School,sees such developments as both a/an(11)challenge(考察名词)and an opportunity.On one hand,he says,“technology tries to push you to a/an(12)maximal(考察形容词)level of certainty.Do this test to get a99percent level of certainty that you have this disease.”On the other hand,computers can’t(13)communicate(考察动词)a diagnosis or a treatment to patients in a comforting way.Take a routine screening test for early-stage lung cancer. Based on your age,your smoking status,and your gender,a computer can do a great job of evaluating the chances of finding a cancerous nodule(癌症结节).It can also(14)calculate(考察动词)quite precisely the risk of developing an actual cancer based on the size and shape of a nodule.What it can’t do,(15)however(考察副词),is decide how to break the news that you have a nodule in your lung that has a1percent chance of becoming a cancer.【译文】医生是科学家，在统计学、赔率和概率的世界中运作。
