I was in the final stretch of last work before writing my essay. The student, who was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D. program, went on to s ay, “I see people from your group working so much, putting in extra hours, even at night.” It set me thinking a lot.As a first-year Ph.D. student, I was lucky to have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt overwhelming pressure to become a perfect student. I kept finding a million reasons why I was coming into graduate school at a disadvantage compared with my peers. As a student from Colombia, I had been educated at institutions my professors and colleagues had never heard of, I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand, and I was older than most of the people in my cohort.I noticed that most of the people around me seemed to be working all the time. I began to spend many weekday nights and weekends in the lab. But my strategy didn’t work. I crashed from burnout. The tiredness took a toll on my productivity and motivation. During one of many mindless Sundays in the office, I realized I’d fallen into the trap of assuming my colleagues’ work habits were the standard for belonging and being worthy of respect —and it wasn’t sustainable.From then on, I stopped counting the number of work hours I was putting in, leaving space every day for exercising and doing activities that I enjoyed. Eventually, I realized nobody was keeping track of the amount of time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t something I needed to worry about.I noticed that having more time for myself made me more rested and motivated when I went back to work. I continued quietly along this path for years, until that conversation in the hallway. So, when I ran into her again, weeks later, I told her that even though I was feeling a lot of pressure in the final year of my Ph.D., I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t working overtime. I also began to talk with other students about how quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasonable work hours were a daily part of my routine.14. What can we learn about the student?A.He spent much time in lab work. B.He had finished the Ph.D. program.C.He was concerned about the author. D.He was putting in extra hours at night. 15. How does the author feel about his work at first?A.Anxious. B.Ambitious. C.Dissatisfied. D.Enthusiastic. 16. Which can replace the underlined phrase “took a toll on” in Para. 3?A.Added fuel to. B.Had a negative impact on.C.Cast new light on. D.Depended too much on.17. What does the author intend to tell us?A.A healthy work-life balance counts.B.A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.C.Fitting in doesn’t mean working overtime.D.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.Identifying the chemical makeup of pigment (色素) used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolors is critical to restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began by poring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color.Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes —it was an entirely new class of color, one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “T hus,we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”18. The primary purpose of the study is to ________.A.restore and conserve ancient precious artworksB.determine the substance making up the foliumC.prove the ancient dye-making technique was organicD.identify which class of color folium belongs to19. The underlined phrase “poring over” in the second paragraph means ________.A.discussing publicly B.testing repeatedlyC.passing directly D.reading carefully20. What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A.It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B.It was the only kind made from wild berries.C.It could be carried and used easily.D.It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.21. The article is mainly about _________.A.how the mystery of a thousand-year-old blue dye was solvedB.why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dyeC.what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plantD.when and where the discovery of the dye was madeThe Human Spark“What is civilization?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now. ”And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院).It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s collapsing steeple is in fact profoundly human – and in a particularly 21st-century way.It is not just the economy that is global today, it is culture too. People wander the world in search not just of jobs and security but also of beauty and history. Familiarity breeds affection. A building onwhose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself.This visual age has endowed beauty with new power, and social media have turned great works of art into superstars. Only a few, though, have achieved this status. Just as there is only ever a handful of world-famous actors, so the pantheon of globally recognizable cultural symbols is tiny: the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo’s David, the Taj Mahal, the Great P yramid – and Notre Dame. Disaster, too, is visual. In the 24 hours after the fire started, videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times.Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Nobody could look up into that vaulted ceiling without wondering at the genius of the thousands of anonymous craftsmen who, over a century and a half, realized a vision so grand in its structure and so delicate in its detail. Its survival through war and revolution connects the present to the past.The fire also binds people to each other. The outpouring of emotion it has brought forth is proof that we are all in it together. When nationalism is a rising threat, shared sadness makes borders suddenly irrelevant; a love of culture has the power to unite. When extremism divides Muslim from Christian and religious people from non-religious, those of all faiths and none are mourning together.And it will be rebuilt. The morning after the fire, the many Parisians who went to the cathedral to mourn its destruction found comfort instead. Although the spire is gone, the towers are still standing and it seems likely that the whole building can be revived. The effort to rebuild it, like the fire, will bring people together. Within 24 hours, €600m ($677m) had been raised from businesses and rich people, and a rash of crowdfunding campaigns started. A high-resolution laser scan of the building, carried out recently, should help.It will never be the same, but that is as it should be. As Victor Hugo wrote in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, “Great edifices, like great mountains, are the work of centuries. Art is often transformed as it is being made...Time is the architect. The nation is the builder.”22. According to the author, ______.A.we should not care more about a building than we do about peopleB.it’s understandable that the floods in Africa has attracted more attentionC.it’s human for people to feel deeply sorry for the destruction of Notre DameD.people are supposed to feel guilty if they are more concerned about buildings23. In 21st century, what make great works of art even more popular?A.The beauty of art and value of cultureB.People’s search for jobs and sense of securityC.The expression of humanity and amazing craftsmanshipD.The arrival of visual age and popularity of social media24. The author believes that culture ______.A.is an expression of humanity at its collective bestB.arouses emotions and reminds people what they are losingC.brings people together regardless of their nationality and religious beliefD.threatens the outpouring of emotions and makes people’s sadness irrelevant25. Which word can best describe the writer’s attitude towards the rebuilding of Notre Dame?A.Positive B.Negative C.Neutral D.ConcernedArt comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract. Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. 26 . It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.Realistic art is easy to understand. Viewers can easily recognize what is portrayed. Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. 27 , helping us to learn about the past.Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 28 . They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork conveys.29 . Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world diverse and engaging. 30 .注意:1) 每组多余一个词;2)所填词可能有时态、词性和单复数的变化;3)每词限用一次,每空仅填一个词。

It lies five meters below the surface of the Indian Ocean and hasall-glass windows from floor to ceiling. It costs five million dollars.In the five-star restaurant at the Conrad Maldives Hotel, you can enjoy the beauty of the ocean without getting your feet wet. You can see sharks, stingrays(黄貂鱼), turtles and stunning corals around you.You need to wear sunglasses in the restaurant, because it is too bright under the crystal-clear blue water. The restaurant is named “Ithaa” —meaning “mother of pearl” in the Maldivian language of Dihevi.Entering the restaurant, you can see six tables. Only two guests can sit near every table. And it costs you 190 dollars per person for dinner. The restaurant can offer 180-degree panoramic views. The New York Daily News rated it “the most beautiful restaurant in the world”.The restaurant has never had water inside. It was built on dry land in Singapore, and then workers carefully lowered it into the ocean in one place. Every day, lots of customers are waiting to have dinner in this restaurant. Not only can they have delicious food, but also they can enjoy the beautiful ocean.1.When you have dinner in the restaurant, you should .A.eat with getting your feet wet B.wear a pair of sunglassesC.wear a raincoat and rain shoes D.offer your ID card2.When you are eating in the restaurant, you can enjoy watching something EXCEPT .A.whales B.sharks C.stingrays D.turtles3.The restaurant was built in .A.India B.New Y ork C.Singapore D.China4.guests can come to the restaurant to eat dinner at most.A.Twenty B.Six C.Eight D.Twelve5.If you come to the restaurant to eat dinner with your parents, you should pay for your dinner.A.190 dollars B.380 dollars C.570 dollars D.760 dollarsB14、Is getting a black belt(腰带) on your life’s to-do list? Then this elderly woman in San Francisco just might be your hero.Just two years before her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt --- the highest rank in Judo (柔道). Fukuda is now one of only four living people who have earned thetenth-degree black belt. Throughout history, only 16 people have ever achieved this honor.Fukuda began practicing Judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro.At her teacher’s requirement, she learned English to help spread Judo internationally.During a time when getting married, building a family and becoming a housewife were the norms(行为标准),Fukuda broke from tradition, continuing Judo instead of getting married.“All I did was Judo ... This was my marriage,” Fukuda replied tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is when my destiny (命运) was set. I just imagined how long the road would be.”She described the Jiguro’s school as “old-fashioned and sexist(性别歧视的) about belts and ranks”. In fact, an edict(法令) that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for 30 years. She finally got the sixth degree in 1972 when a women’s division(分部)was created.Fukuda thinks Judo and her life to be “gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”. Fukuda says this kind of beauty is not external(外在的). She explained. “I believe this inner beauty is true beauty… All my lif e this has been my dream.”Her dream was turned into reality, and the 98-year-old Sensei Keiko Fukuda continues to teach Judo three times a week at a women’s Judo training center.1.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?A.She is the first woman to achieve the highest rank in Judo.B.It took her 30 years to get a tenth-degree black belt.C.Her teacher wanted her to help spread Judo to other parts of the world.D.Only one woman and fifteen men have ever earned the tenth-degree black belt in the history.2.Why did Fukuda pursue(追求) Judo all her life?A.To look for inner beauty.B.To help Japan become stronger.C.To spread Judo around the world.D.To fight against tradition.3.Which of the following best describes Fukuda according to the article?A.Traditional B.PopularC.Determined (坚定的) D.CuriousC15、Pictures That Don’t Last“YEARS ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remember someone coming up to the canyon’s edge, taking a shot with their camera and then walking away, like ‘got it –done’, barely even glancing at the magnificent (壮观的) scenesprawling (展开) in front of them,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (着迷的) people are with taking pictures these days – before dinner, during friends’ birthday parties, on museum tours and so on. You know people just like that, don’t you?They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel’s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains from remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian. In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and to photograph 15 others. The next day the students’ memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them. “When people rely on technology to remember for them – counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative effect on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed (缩放) in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (镜头) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren’t in the frame.So basically, this study i s saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn’t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access(接近)and interact with the photos, rather than justamassing them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren’t usually very organ ized on their computers. 1.The author mentioned Henkel’s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to ______.A.complain about some tourists’ bad habitsB.give suggestions on how to enjoy one’s tourC.describe the great view of the Grand CanyonD.point out people’s obsession with taking pictures2.Which of the following statements about Henkel’s study is TRUE?A.Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories.B.Taking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.C.Pictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improve people’s memories.D.People should spend more time studying real objects than taking pictures of them.3.The underlined word “amassing” in the last paragraph probably means ______.A.displaying B.collectingC.introducing D.remembering4.What is the article mainly about?A.Some skills to learn for taking pictures.B.People’s obsession with taking pictures and its influence.C.How pictures remind us of our past.D.How to deal with pictures after taking trips.D16、ARE you creative, shy, outgoing? Our personalities reveal a lot about who we are. But what’s surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. That’s according to researchers at Duke University, US.During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities in two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at age 26 were in better health after 12 years.Being careful means that people tend to have a lot of self-control, and are less likely to smoke, the scientists said. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and healthy diet.From those who were least careful, 45 percent developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health issues included gum disease and high blood pressure (高血压). To compare, only 18 percent of careful people went on to develop health problems.Another positive personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So they’d be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle. What’s surprising is that stress didn’t play a big part on a person’s health. Even though stress and anxiety (焦虑) are usually linked to bad health.But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?1.Which personality type may be better for our health, according to the research?A.self-controlled. B.Stressed.C.Shy. D.Careless.2.From the passage, we learn that careful people ____.A.are too shy to talk to strangersB.love to ask the doctor for adviceC.are likely to have a healthy lifestyleD.may have high blood pressure when they’re older3.Where can you probably read the article?A.Newspaper. B.Science fiction book.C.Research paper. D.Travel guide.4.What is the main idea of the article?A.People can change their personality type.B.Scientists have found two different personality types.C.Personalities have something to do with our lifestyle.D.Personalities say something about our health.E17、Several years ago, Kevin Stephan, then aged 11, was playing baseball when a player accidentally hit him with a bat.Kevin fell down and his heart stopped.
