The result is rich and full of inner tension and suspensePRETENDING（New York Review Comics, $24to help exploretranslated into English.56．If you are interested in stories as well as drawings, you are likely to buy________.It is unusual that an expression from a long-dead language generates more than 25million online search results.Yet just as striking is the fact that there is not one carpe diem, but many. While usually translated as “seize” the day, the original Latin is sometimes interpreted as “harvest”, or “enjoy” the day. These variations（变化）tell us that carpe diem means different things to different people. For some it’s about taking a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while for others it is about living calmly in the present moment. We might casually use the term carpe diem when chatting with a friend, but how many of us are aware of its many personalities hidden beneath the surface?In our age of distraction, where we are checking our phones an average of 110times a day, grasping these different meanings is more important than ever. They are an antidote（解毒药）to the reality that we are, as Shakespeare put it, “food for worms”. Life is sh ort and our time is running out.But here’s the problem: carpe diem has been hijacked（绑架）. Who, or what, are the hijackers? First, the spirit of “seize the day” has been secretly hijacked by consumer culture, which has recast it as Black Friday shopping rushes and one-click buying: Just Do It has come to mean Just Buy It.Alongside this is the growing fashionable belief of efficiency and time management that has driven us towards tight-scheduled living, turning the spontaneity（自然发生）of Just Do It into a culture of Just Plan It.A third hijacker is digital entertainment that is replacing energetic life experiences with screen-based pleasures. Rather than Just Do It, we increasingly Just Watch It instead.Finally, carpe diem has been hijacked by the mindfulness movement. While mindfulness has many proven benefits, from reducing stress to helping with depression, one of its unintended consequences has been to encourage the narrow idea that seizing the day is primarily about living in the here and now. Just Do It has become Just Breathe.Challenged by these hijackers, the art of seizing the day is disappearing and we urgently need to do something about it, or else risk losing touch with the carpe diem wisdom of humanity that has accumulated over the past two thousand years.58．What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?A．People often create different situations for carpe diem.B．Carpe diem should be better interpreted than before.C．People usually scratch the surface of carpe diem.D．Carpe diem should be replaced with new terms.59．By mentioning Shakespeare in Paragraph 3, the author wants to emphasizeA．we should try to expand the length of our lifeB．we should treasure every moment of our lifeC．we should use effective medicine to cure diseasesD．we should check our phones to avoid distraction60．Which of the following can best prove carpe diem has been hijacked?A．Just Do It has come to mean online shopping rushes.B．Just Do It has come to mean a casual way of life.C．Just Do It has come to mean workout in the gym.D．Just Do It has come to mean a really relieved mind.61．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A．To justify some different applications of carpe diem.B．To explain the four hijackers of carpe diem nowadays.C．To advocate returning to the original meaning of carpe diem.D．To compare people’s different interpretation s of carpe diem today.CLarger brain size linked to longer life in deerThe size of a female animals’ brain may determine whether they live longer and have more healthy offspring （后代）, according to new research led by the University of Cambridge.The study, published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, shows that female red deer with larger brains live longer and have more surviving offspring than those with smaller brains. Brain size is passed down through the generations. This is the first extensive study of individual differences in brain size in wild mammals and draws on data comparing seven generations of deer.Across species of mammals, brain size varies widely. This is thought to be a consequence of specific differences in the benefits and costs of a larger brain. Mammals with larger brains may, for example, have greater cognitive abilities that enable them to adapt better to environmental changes or they may have longer lifespans （寿命）. But there may also be disadvantages: for instance, larger brains require more energy, so individuals that possess them may show reduced fertility（繁殖力）.The researchers, based at the Universit y of Cambridge’s Zoology Department and Edinburgh University’s Institute of Evolutionary Biology, wanted to test if they could find more direct genetic or non-genetic evidence of the costs and benefits of large brain size by comparing the longevity（长寿）and survival of individuals of the same species with different sized brains. Using the skulls of 1, 314wild red deer whose life histories and breeding success had been monitored in the course of a long-term study on the Isle of Rum, they found that females with larger endocranial volumes（脑腔容量）lived longer and produced more surviving offspring in the course of their lives.Lead author Dr Corina Logan, a Gates Cambridge Scholar, says, “The reasons for the association between brain size and longevity are not known, but other studies have suggested that larger brains are a consequence of the longer-lived species having longer developmental periods in which the brain can grow. These hypotheses （假设）were generated from cross-species correlations; however, testing such hypotheses requires investigations at the within-species level, which is what we did.”Dr Logan adds, “We found that some of the cross-species predictions about brain size held for female red deer, and that none of the predictions were supported in male red deer. This indicates that each sex likely experiences its own set of trade-offs（权衡, 协调）with regard to brain size. ”The study also showed that females’ relative endocranial volume is smaller than that of males, despite evidence of selection for larger brains in females.Professor Tim Clutton-Brock, who set up the Rum Red Deer study with Fiona Guinness in 1972and initiated the work on brain size, points out, “The reason that this kind of study has not been conducted before is that it requires long term records of a large number of individuals across multiple generations and data of this kind are still rare in wild animals. ”62．What does the new research about brain size reveal?A．Large-brain red deer tend to be more reproductive.B．Large-brain female deer survive small-brain male deer.C．Brain size causes individual differences in some mammals.D．Brain size has been increasing from generation to generation.63．For different species of mammals, brain size varies widely in thatA．mammals can develop different adaptive abilitiesB．a larger brain has its advantages and disadvantagesC．different mammals are born with different lifespansD．brain size is affected by genetic or non-genetic factors64．What can we learn about the relation between brain size and longevity?A．The cause and effect needs to be further investigated.B．Brain size absolutely determines animals’ longevity.C．Longer-lived species allow brains to grow to a large size.D．The cross-species assumptions apply to red deer of both sexes.65．What can we infer from Professor Tim Clutton-Brock’s words?A．Researchers can’t possibly reach a conclusion about the reason.B．Researchers are not patient enough to keep long term records.C．Such research has been thoroughly conducted on wild animals before.D．Such research will witness great difficulty in the long-term process.DMy father and I have been separated for over two years. He was physically violent and emotionally abusive to me throughout my childhood, and I felt that I couldn’t forgive him. And yet, now he is dying, unconscious and struggling to breathe through an oxygen tube after a major stroke, all I can think of is how much he loved me.How he would hold my fringe（刘海）back and kiss me on the forehead before school. How he bought me a pottery set and roller skates, although we were struggling by on just his salary, and allowed me to skate to school. How he would play chess and tennis with me, and take me to endless chess and tennis tournaments, even though I never won anything. How he would read the Guardian every day and fill in the quick crossword, but leave a few clues and praise me if I solved them. He kept every one of my Guardian columns, and every article I ever had published, even during our many estranged（疏远）periods. He gave me a lot of his savings to buy a flat after I became a single mum. And he set my date of birth as the passcode on his phone.Yet I’m ashamed to say I blamed him, often, for everything: my anorexia（厌食症）, my cutting, my anxiety,my depression. He was there during the tough times, yet all I could think was that the tough times happened because of him, forgetting that the causes of events are complex, and that plenty of people who had happy childhoods have to deal with mental illness and domestic violence too.I even stopped him from seeing my daughter, then three, the thing that brought him most happiness, because I was scared he would hurt her, and that her life would be like mine. That decision would mean he never spoke to me again.When we spent time together in previous years, my father hugged me a lot yet never talked much. Born in 1930s America during the Depression, he was a man of few words, a silent romantic who signed his empty Valen tine’s cards to my mother with only his first initial. I know he thought I talked too much; ironically, I never told him what I needed to. Knowing he was old, I tried to get back in touch several times to make things right, but my mother said he didn’t wan t to hear from me. I understand that. Why would he want to hear from the daughter who was never able to forgive him for his mistakes; who brought them up time after time, unable to accept his apologies? Who prevented him from seeing his granddaughter? Who scolded him for his faults, yet never acknowledged his numerous kindnesses?It’s much too late now. When I sit by his hospital bed and hold his large wrinkled hand, far too warm, and ask him to squeeze it if he can hear me, he doesn’t. So I tell him a few of the things I should have told him when he was conscious, though it’s hard to say the words: that I love him very much, and that I’m sorry about the estrangement. And it reminds me of what I’ve known for a long time: that my dad didn’t know how to be a f ather to me when I was young, because his father was abusive to him as a child. His father died estranged from his son; my father is dying estranged from his daughter.I never thought that I’d feel this broken at losing him. I fantasise that his eyes will open, and that he will be conscious again for just a few days. I will give him a letter thanking him for all the things I have remembered while writing this piece, and apologizing for all the ways I have wronged him. And when I deliver the letter, I will bring my five-year-old daughter with me, so he can see her happiness and sweetness, and learn that the chain of hurt that has been passed down from generation to generation has finally been broken.66．The separation between Father and the daughter is mainly caused by ________.A．Father’s cruelty towards the daughterB．Father’s irresponsibility for the familyC．the daughter’s protection of her kid from harmD．the daughter’s misunderstanding of her father67．Father rejected his daughter’s offer to get in touch with him because ________.A．he was too ashamed to face his daughterB．he couldn’t support his daughter any moreC．he couldn’t pardon h is daughter’s ignoranceD．he was content to live away from his daughter68．The author’s father can be described as ________.A．generous, cold and stubborn B．strict, caring and stubbornC．generous, strict and inconsiderate D．caring, cold and inconsiderate69．What message does the author want to convey in the underlined part? ________.A．The granddaughter will break the family chain to live freely.B．The previous way of family education will no longer continue.C．There will be no restriction in the family from that moment on.D．Father will leave the world without any regrets and sufferings.70．at might be the best title of the passage? ________.A．East or west, home is best B．A good medicine tastes bitterC．It’s no use crying over spilt milk D．Where there is life, there is hope第Ⅱ卷（两部分共35分）第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.We all need to feel understood, recognized and affirmed （证实）by our friends, family and romantic partners. We all need to find our tribe.Research has shown that among the benefits that come with being in a relationship or group, feeling accepted is regarded as the most important driver of meaning. When other people think you matter and treat you as if you matter, you believe you matter, too.Though we all share a need to belong, in the first decades of the 20th century, many influential psychologists and physicians did not acknowledge this fundamental aspect of human nature. The idea that children needed parental love and care to live a full and meaningful life was not only considered medically dangerous, it was dismissed as immoral and disgusting.As behavioural psychology came into fashion and academic psychologists turned their attention to child-raising, this view shifted and they began to examine and affirm the vital importance of attachment in early life. They discovered that people, whatever their age, needed more than food and shelter to live full and healthy lives.But, sadly, many of us lack close ties. At a time when we are more connected digitally than ever before, rates of social isolation（孤立）are rising. The results of an Age UK poll published recently suggest that half a million people over the age of 60 usually spend each day alone, and it’s not unusual for another half a million people to go five or six days without seeing or speaking to someone.All these figures reveal more than a rise in loneliness—they reveal a lack of meaning in people’s lives. In surveys, we list our close relationships as our most important sources of meaning. Research shows that people who are lonely and isolated feel their lives are less meaningful.While close relationships are critical for living a meaningful life, they are not the only important social bonds81．请根据你对以下两幅图的理解, 以“Opportunities favour the prepared mind”为题, 用英语写一篇作文.1．简要描述两幅图的内容;2．概述你对两幅图中不同做法的理解;3．举例说明两幅图对你的启示.注意:1．可参照图片适当发挥;2．作文词数150左右;3．作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息, 如校名、人名等.Opportunities favour the prepared mind模拟考试英语试卷答案1~20．ABCCB BCBBA CACBC CABAA 21~40．BACDA CBCDC ABDDA ACBBD 41~60．ABDCB DDABA CDACB DACBA 61~70．CCBAD DCBBC71．sense/ feeling72．influenced/ affected/ shaped/ determined/ decided73．attitudes74．denied75．attachment/ love / care76．lacking77．lonely/ isolated/ alone78．meaning79．difference80．offer/ start/ try/ attempt模拟考试英语试卷解析Possible version:The two pictures reveal two men take completely different attitudes to building a bright future. In Picture 1, a man is dreaming of opportunities for a bright future, but without any action, while Picture 2shows another man devotes himself to his studies to get fully prepared.The message conveyed here is clear, “Opportunities favour the prepared mind.” The difference between the two lies only in the way each treats opportunities. Successful people always make adequate preparations to seize opportunities. Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, work little and just wait, seeing them pass by.To further stress the importance of our attitude towards opportunities, let’s take Liu Xiang for example. In order to win the gold medal in the Olympics, he trained hard every day and eventually made it. Therefore, we should spare no efforts to fulfill our dreams. It’s universally acknowledged that we would accomplish nothing without actions and efforts.录音原文:Text 1M: I’d like some lamb.I’ve tried every grocery store in town, but I couldn’t find it.

The service not only brings great convenience to people, but causes some problems as well.From my standpoint, bike-sharing system has become an essential part of public transportation in cities and should be actively promoted. Firstly, with an increasing number of people cho osing the service to get around, the number of cars on the roads will decrease dramatically, which really helps the environment and reduces traffic jams. Furthermore, this service also benefits individuals in various ways. For example, it provides locals and tourists with a convenient, cheap and healthy means of transport. T hose who would otherwise use their own bicycles don’t need to be concerned about such problems as theft, storage and maintenance.In a word, bike sharing is an innovative service, which relieves urban traffic pressure and br ings citizens enormous benefits. And more shared bikes should be launched into the m arket. (163 words)Possible version twoThe passage conveys to us the bike-sharing boom across the country, with more companies springing up in the market. The service not only brings great convenience to people, but causes some problems as well.In my opinion, bike-sharing should not be promoted at present for the following reasons. In order to attract more subscribers, the bike-sharing companies are f looding walkways and other public spaces with hundreds of bikes in the hope of promoting their services, which brings great inconvenience to pedestrians. Furthermore, for lack of relevant regulations, some uncivilized people deliberately damage shared-bikes, for example, by throwin g them into rivers or piling them up randomly. A fairly high deposit fee has also been criticized in a c ountry familiar with accessing inexpensive public se rvices.In conclusion, bike-sharing system shouldn’t be promoted before regulations and policies are put in place. The government, companies and users should all play their role in making bike-sharing sustainable and enjoyable. (156 words)书面表达评分建议一、评分原则1．本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。

One new approach: Check your mood.Often, procrastinators attempt to avoid the anxiety or worry aroused by a tough task with activities aimed at repairing their mood, such as checking Facebook or taking a nap. But the pattern, which researchers call “giving in to feel good,” makes procrastinators feel worse later, when they face the consequenc es of missing a deadline or making a last-minute effort, says Timothy Pychyl (rhymes with Mitchell), an associate professor of psychology at Carleton University.Increasingly, psychologists and time-management consultants are focusing on a new strategy: helping procrastinators see how attempts at mood repair are destroying their efforts and learn to control their emotions in more productive ways.The new approach is based on several studies in the past two years showing that negative emotions can damage attempts at self-control. It fills a gap among established time-management methods, which stress behavioral changes such as adopting a new organizing system or doing exercises to build willpower.Researchers have come up with a playbook of strategies to help procrastinators turn mood repair to their advantage. Some are tried-and-true classics: Dr. Pychyl advises procrastinators to just get started, and make the doorstep for getting started quite low. “Procrastinators are more likely to put the technique to use when they understand how mood repair works,” says Dr. Pychyl, author of a 2013 book, “Solving the Procrastination Puzzle.” He adds，“A real motive power comes from doing what we intend to do—the things that are important to us.”He also advises procrastinators to practice “time travel”—projecting themselves into the future to imagine the good feelings they will have after finishing a task, or the bad ones they will have if they don’t. This cures procrastinators’ tendency to get so stuck in present anxieties and worries that they fail to think about the future. Another mood-repair strategy, self-forgiveness, is aimed at dismissing the self-blame. University freshmen who forgave themselves for procrastinating on studying for the first exam in a course procrastinated less on the next exam, according to a recent study led by Michael Wohl, an associate professor of psychology at Carleton. Thomas Flint learned about the technique by reading research on self-control, including studies by Dr. Sirois and Dr. Pychyl. He put it to use after his family moved recently to a new house. Instead of beating himself up for failing to unpack all the boxes gathered in his garage right away, Mr. Flint decided to forgive himself and start with a single step. Td say, “OK, Tm going to take an hour, with a goal of getting the TV set up, and that's it”; then he watched a TV show as a reward. Allowing himself to do the task in stages, he says, is “a victory.”51. What does Timothy Pychyl mean by mentioning the “giving in to feel good” pr actice in Paragraph 2?A. It probably does more harm than good.B. It prevents procrastinators from giving up.C. It helps procrastinators meet the deadline.D. It effectively drives away anxiety and worry.52. Where does a real motive power come from according to Dr. Pychyl?A. Sticking to one’s intention.B. Doing things that really matter.C. Getting started from a low doorstep.D. Learning important techniques of mood repair.53. What is the purpose of the practice “time travel”?A. To make their future plan more practical.B. To accelerate the speed of finishing the task.C. To stop people from worrying about their travel.D. To free people from the present negative emotions.54. What can be inferred from Michael Wohl study?A. Self-blame prevents students from putting things off.B. Procrastinators are still able to get good scores in exams.C. University freshmen can get rid of procrastination easily.D. Self-forgiveness is an effective way to cure procrastination.(2018·苏州期初, C篇)Preschools—educational programs for children under the age of five—differ significantly from one country to another according to the views that different societies hold regarding the purpose of early childhood education. For instance, in a cross-country comparison of preschools in China, Japan, and the United States, researchers found that parents in the three countries view the purpose of preschools very differently. Whereas parents in China tend to see preschools primarily as a way of giving children a good start academically, Japanese parents view them primarily as a way of giving children the opportunity to be members of a group. In the United States, in comparison, parents regard the primary purpose of preschools as making children more independent and self-reliant, although obtaining a good academic start and having group experience are also important.While many programs designed for preschoolers focus primarily on social and emotional factors, some are adapted mainly toward promoting cognitive (认知的）gains and preparing preschoolers for the formal instruction they will experience when they start school. In the United States, the best-known program designed to promote future academic success is Head Start. Established in the 1960s when the United States declared the War on Poverty, the program has served over 13 million children and their families. The program, which stresses parental involvement, was designed to serve the “whole child”，including children’s physical health, self-confidence, social responsibility, and social and emotional development.Whether Head Start is seen as successful or not depends on the angles through which one is looking at. If, for instance, the program is expected to provide long-term increases in IQ scores, it is a disappointment. Although graduates of Head Start programs tend to show immediate IQ gains, these increases do not last. On the other hand, it is clear that Head Start is meeting its goal of getting preschoolers ready for school. Preschoolers who participate in Head Start are better prepared for future schooling than those who do not. Furthermore, graduates of Head Start programs have better future school grade. Finally, some research suggests that ultimately Head Start graduates show higher academic performance at the end of high school.The most recent comprehensive evaluation of early intervention programs suggests that, taken as a group, preschool programs can provide significant benefits, and that government funds invested early in life may ultimately lead to a reduction in future costs. For instance, compared with children who did not participate in early intervention programs, participants in various programs showed gains in emotional or cognitive development, better educational outcomes, increased economic self-sufficiency (自给自足)，reduced levels of criminal activity, and improved health-related behaviors. Of course, not every program produced all these benefits, and not every child benefited to the same extent. Furthermore, some researchers argue that less-expensive programs are just as good as relatively expensive ones, such as Head Start. Still, the results of the evaluation were promising, suggesting that the potential benefits of early intervention can be significant. Not everyone agrees that programs that seek to strengthen academic skills during the preschool years are a good thing. In fact, according to developmental psychologist David Elkind, United States society tends to push children so rapidly that they begin to feel stress and pressure at a young age. Elkind argues that academic success is largely dependent upon factors out of parents’ control, such as inherited (遗传的) ties and a child’s rate of maturation. Consequently, children of a particular age cannot be expected to master educational material without taking into account their current level of cognitive development.In short, children require development appropriate educational practice, which is education based on both typical development and the unique characteristics of a given child.55.Parents in Japan send their children to preschools in the hope of ______.A. helping children gain group experienceB. giving children a good academic startC. expand their emotional developmentD. pushing children to be independent56. What can we learn about Head Start from Paragraph 2?A. It discourages parental involvement.B. It aims to help poor but gifted children.C. It focuses on children’s academic performance.D. It helps children develop in an all-round way.57. What does the sentence “it is a disappointment” in Pa ragraph 3 mean?A. The program pays too much attention on grades.B. The program fails to increase children's IQ steadily.C. The program can't reduce levels of criminal activities.D. The program ignores the importance of children's interests.58. What can we learn about the benefits of early intervention programs from Paragraph 4?A. Not every program can provide benefits.B. Children benefit more from programs they find fun.C. Benefits gained from the programs vary from person to person.D. Expensive programs provide more benefits than less expensive ones.59. Which of the following may David Elkind agree with?A. No pains, no gains.B. Better untaught than ill-taught.C. Haste makes waste.D. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.60. What’s th e author's attitude toward pre-school educational programs?A.

The service not only brings great convenience to people, but causes some problems as well.From my standpoint, bike-sharing system has become an essential part of public transportation in cities and should be actively promoted. Firstly, with an increasing number of people choosing the service to get around, the number of cars on the roads will decrease dramatically, which really helps the environment and reduces traffic jams. Furthermore, this service also benefits individuals in various ways. For example, it provides locals and tourists with a convenient, cheap and healthy means of transport. Those who would otherwise use their own bicycles don’t need to be concerned about such problems as theft, storage and maintenance.In a word, bike sharing is an innovative service, which relieves urban traffic pressure and brings citizens enormous benefits. And more shared bikes should be launched into the market. (163 words)Possible version twoThe passage conveys to us the bike-sharing boom across the country, with more companies springing up in the market. The service not only brings great convenience to people, but causes some problems as well.In my opinion, bike-sharing should not be promoted at present for the following reasons. In order to attract more subscribers, the bike-sharing companies are flooding walkways and other public spaces with hundreds of bikes in the hope of promoting their services, which brings great inconvenience to pedestrians. Furthermore, for lack of relevant regulations, some uncivilized people deliberately damage shared-bikes, for example, by throwing them into rivers or piling them up randomly. A fairly high deposit fee has also been criticized in a country familiar with accessing inexpensive public services.In conclusion, bike-sharing system shouldn’t be promoted before regulations and policies are put in place. The government, companies and users should all play their role in making bike-sharing sustainable and enjoyable. (156 words)书面表达评分建议一、评分原则1．本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。

He was physically violent and emotionally abusive to me throughout my childhood, and I felt that I couldn’t forgive him. And yet, now he is dying, unconscious and struggling to breathe through an oxygen tube after a major stroke, all I can think of is how much he loved me.How he would hold my fringe (刘海) back and kiss me on the forehead before school. How he bought me a pottery set and roller skates, although we were struggling by on just his salary, and allowed me to skate to school. How he would play chess and tennis with me, and take me to endless chess and tennis tournaments, even though I never won anything. How he would read the Guardian every day and fill in the quick crossword, but leave a few clues and praise me if I solved them. He kept every one of my Guardian columns, and every article I ever had published, even during our many estranged (疏远) periods. He gave me a lot of his savings to buy a flat after I became a single mum. And he set my date of birth as the passcode on his phone. Yet I’m ashamed to say I blamed him, often, for everything: my anorexia (厌食症), my cutting,试卷第2页，共14页my anxiety, my depression.... He was there during the tough times, yet all I could think was that the tough times happened because of him, forgetting that the causes of events are complex, and that plenty of people who had happy childhoods have to deal with mental illness and domestic violence too.I even stopped him from seeing my daughter, then three, the thing that brought him most happiness, because I was scared he would hurt her, and that her life would be like mine. That decision would mean he never spoke to me again.When we spent time together in previous years, my father hugged me a lot yet never talked much. Born in 1930s America during the Depression, he was a man of few words, a silent romantic who signed his empty Valentine’s cards to my mother with only his first initial. I know he thought I talked too much; ironically, I never told him what I needed to. Knowing he was old, I tried to get back in touch several times to make things right, but my mother said he didn’t want to hear from me. I understand that. Why would he want to hear from the daughter who was never able to forgive him for his mistakes; who brought them up time after time, unable to accept his apologies? Who prevented him from seeing his granddaughter? Who scolded him for his faults, yet never acknowledged his numerous kindnesses?It’s much too late now. When I sit by his hospital bed and hold his large wrinkled hand, far too warm, and ask him to squeeze it if he can hear me, he doesn’t. So I tell him a few of the things I should have told him when he was conscious, though it’s hard to say the w ords: that I love him very much, and that I’m sorry about the estrangement. And it reminds me of what I’ve known for a long time: that my dad didn’t know how to be a father to me when I was young, because his father was abusive to him as a child. His father died estranged from his son; my father is dying estranged from his daughter.I never thought that I’d feel this broken at losing him. I fantasise that his eyes will open, and that he will be conscious again for just a few days. I will give him a letter thanking him for all the things I have remembered while writing this piece, and apologizing for all the ways I have wronged him. And when I deliver the letter, I will bring my five-year-old daughter with me, so he can see her happiness and sweetness, and learn that the chain of hurt that has been passed down from generation to generation has finally been broken.1、The separation between Father and the daughter is mainly caused by ______. A ．Father’s cruelty towards the daughter B ．Father’s irresponsibility for the familyC．the daughter’s protection of her kid from harmD．the daughter’s misunderstanding of her father2、Father rejected his daughter’s offer to get in touch with him because ______.A．he was too ashamed to face his daughterB．he couldn’t supp ort his daughter any moreC．he couldn’t pardon his daughter’s ignoranceD．he was content to live away from his daughter3、The author’s father can be described as ______.A．generous, cold and stubborn B．strict, caring and stubborn C．generous, strict and inconsiderate D．caring, cold and inconsiderate4、What message does the author want to convey in the underlined part?A．The granddaughter will break the family chain to live freely.B．The previous way of family education will no longer continue.C．There will be no restriction in the family from that moment on.D．Father will leave the world without any regrets and sufferings.5、What might be the best title of the passage?A．East or west, home is best B．A good medicine tastes bitterC．It’s no use crying over spilt milk D．Where there is life, there is hopeLarger brain size linked to longer life in deerThe size of a female animals’ brain may determine whether they live longer and have more healthy offspring (后代), according to new research led by the University of Cambridge.The study, published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, shows that female red deer with larger brains live longer and have more surviving offspring than those with smaller brains. Brain size is passed down through the generations. This is the first extensive study of individual differences in brain size in wild mammals and draws on data comparing seven generations of deer.Across species of mammals, brain size varies widely. This is thought to be a consequence of specific differences in the benefits and costs of a larger brain. Mammals with larger brains may, for example, have greater cognitive abilities that enable them to adapt better to environmental changes or they may have longer lifespans (寿命) . But there may also be disadvantages: forinstance, larger brains require more energy, so individuals that possess them may show reduced试卷第4页，共14页fertility (繁殖力).The researchers, based at the University of Cambridge’s Zoology Department and Edinburgh University’s Institute of Evolutionary B iology, wanted to test if they could find more direct genetic or non-genetic evidence of the costs and benefits of large brain size by comparing the longevity (长寿) and survival of individuals of the same species with different sized brains. Using the skulls of 1,314 wild red deer whose life histories and breeding success had been monitored in the course of a long-term study on the Isle of Rum, they found that females with larger endocranial volumes (脑腔容量) lived longer and produced more surviving offspring in the course of their lives.Lead author Dr Corina Logan, a Gates Cambridge Scholar, says, “The reasons for the association between brain size and longevity are not known, but other studies have suggested that larger brains are a consequence of the longer-lived species having longer developmental periods in which the brain can grow. These hypotheses (假设) were generated from cross-species correlations; however, testing such hypotheses requires investigations at the within-species level, which is what we did.”Dr Logan adds, “We found that some of the cross -species predictions about brain size held for female red deer, and that none of the predictions were supported in male red deer. This indicates that each sex likely experiences its own set of trade-offs (权衡，协调) with regard to brain size.” The study also showed that females’ relative endocranial volume is smaller than that of males, despite evidence of selection for larger brains in females.Professor Tim Clutton-Brock, who set up the Rum Red Deer study with Fiona Guinness in 1972 and initiated the work on brain size, points out, “The reason that this kind of study has not been conducted before is that it requires long term records of a large number of individuals across multiple generations and data of this k ind are still rare in wild animals.” 6、What does the new research about brain size reveal? A ．Large-brain red deer tend to be more reproductive. B ．Large-brain female deer survive small-brain male deer. C ．Brain size causes individual differences in some mammals. D ．Brain size has been increasing from generation to generation.7、For different species of mammals, brain size varies widely in that ______. A ．mammals can develop different adaptive abilities B ．a larger brain has its advantages and disadvantagesC．different mammals are born with different lifespansD．brain size is affected by genetic or non-genetic factors8、What can we learn about the relation between brain size and longevity?A．The cause and effect needs to be further investigated.B．Brain s ize absolutely determines animals’ longevity.C．Longer-lived species allow brains to grow to a large size.D．The cross-species assumptions apply to red deer of both sexes.9、What can we infer from Professor Tim Clutton-Brock’s words?A．Researchers can’t possibly reach a conclusion about the reason.B．Researchers are not patient enough to keep long term records.C．Such research has been thoroughly conducted on wild animals before.D．Such research will witness great difficulty in the long-term process.Carpe diem—seize the day—is one of the oldest philosophical mottos in western history. First used by the Roman poet Horace more than 2,000 years ago, it still keeps an extraordinary resonance (共鸣) in popular culture.It is unusual that an expression from a long-dead language generates more than 25 million online search results. Yet just as striking is the fact that there is not one carpe diem, but many. While usually translated as “seize” the day, the original Latin is sometimes interpreted as “harvest”, or “enjoy” the day. These variations (变化) tell us that carpe diem means different things to different people. For some it’s about taking a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while for others it is about living calmly in the present moment. We might casually use the term carpe diem when chatting with a friend, but how many of us are aware of its many personalities hidden beneath the surface?In our age of distraction, where we are checking our phones an average of 110 times aday, grasping these different meanings is more important than ever. They are an antidote (解毒药) to the reality that we are, as Shakespeare put it, “food for worms”. Life is short and our time is running out.But here’s the problem: carpe diem has been hijacked (绑架). Who, or what, are the hijackers? First, the spirit of “seize the day” has been secretly hijacked by consumer culture, which has recast it as Black Friday shopping rushes and one-click buying: Just Do It has come to meanJust Buy It.试卷第6页，共14页Alongside this is the growing fashionable belief of efficiency and time management that has driven us towards tight-scheduled living, turning the spontaneity (自然发生) of Just Do It into a culture of Just Plan It.A third hijacker is digital entertainment that is replacing energetic life experiences with screen-based pleasures. Rather than Just Do It, we increasingly Just Watch It instead. Finally, carpe diem has been hijacked by the mindfulness movement. While mindfulness has many proven benefits, from reducing stress to helping with depression, one of its unintended consequences has been to encourage the narrow idea that seizing the day is primarily about living in the here and now. Just Do It has become Just Breathe.Challenged by these hijackers, the art of seizing the day is disappearing and we urgently need to do something about it, or else risk losing touch with the carpe diem wisdom of humanity that has accumulated over the past two thousand years. 10、What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2? A ．People often create different situations for carpe diem. B ．Carpe diem should be better interpreted than before. C ．People usually scratch the surface of carpe diem. D ．Carpe diem should be replaced with new terms.11、By mentioning Shakespeare in Paragraph 3, the author wants to emphasize______. A ．we should try to expand the length of our life B ．we should treasure every moment of our life C ．we should use effective medicine to cure diseases D ．we should check our phones to avoid distraction12、Which of the following can best prove carpe diem has been hijacked? A ．Just Do It has come to mean online shopping rushes. B ．Just Do It has come to mean a casual way of life. C ．Just Do It has come to mean workout in the gym. D ．Just Do It has come to mean a really relieved mind. 13、What is the author’s purp ose in writing this passage? A ．To justify some different applications of carpe diem. B ．To explain the four hijackers of carpe diem nowadays. C ．To advocate returning to the original meaning of carpe diem. D ．To compare people’s different interpretations of carpe diem today.Editors’ Choice14、If you are interested in stories as well as drawings, you are likely to buy______. A ．UNWARRANTEDB ．CANNIBALISMC ．THE SCHOOLDAYS OF JESUSD ．PRETENDING IS LYING15、From the passage we know______.A ．some regulations can effectively prevent abusive policingB ．wild animals kill their own kind more commonly than beforeC ．The Schooldays of Jesus mainly focuses on tension and suspenseD ．charcoal, pencil and ink are helpful in exploration and translation二、完形填空（题型注释）When I was young, my household consisted of my mother and my grandmother.

It is designed to arouse our reflection on the way we treat animals.From where I stand, man and animals are actually equal, each making a contribution to our planet. The extinction of any species would break the balance of nature. However, man’s relationship with animals has always been ambiguous. On the one hand, animals are being worshiped and credited with mysterious and superior powers. On the other hand, they are being hunted, caged and petted.The message conveyed here is crystal clear. Firstly, we human beings should live in harmony with animals. Secondly, we’re supposed to go all out to make the world a better place for the animals to live in. In a word, I strongly appeal to our protection and respect for all animals!。

But Jann Wenner, the magazine's co-founder and publisher, was quick to assure critics of the appointment process that his son is terribly talented and had to prove himself before being given the post. Apparently Gus worked his way up from more junior positions with the company, and demonstrated, according to his father, the “drive and discipline and charm, and all the things that show leadership.” Gus Wenner is 22 years old.He is certainly not the only kid out of college, or even out of high school, working at daddy‟s firm. Family contacts are a common way of finding both temporary internships and longtime careers. Opportunities for the children of top 1 percent are not the same as they are for the 99 percent.This is hardly a shock, but it is precisely the type of inequality that reveals the hard-to-define promise of the “Just Do It” version of the American dream and deepens our cynicism (愤世嫉俗) about how people get ahead. As a consequence, it weakens support for public policies that试卷第2页，共17页could address the lack of upward mobility among children born at the bottom, who ought to be given Parity. A strong tie between adult outcomes and family background annoys Americans. When an organization conducted a nationally representative survey asking about the meaning of “the American dream,” some typical answers included: “Being free to say or do what you want” and “Being free to accomplish almost anything you want with hard work,” but also “Being able to succeed regardless of the economic circumstances in which you were born.” This is exactly the reason that “the American dream,” is not only a defining metaphor for the country, but also why Americans have long been willing to tolerate a good deal more economic inequality than citizens of many other rich countries. A belief in the possibility of upward mobility not only morally justifies inequality as the expression of talents and energies, but also extends a promise to those with lower incomes. After all, why would you be a strong advocate for reducing inequality if you believe that you, or eventually your children, were likely to climb the income ladder?Hard work and perseverance (毅力) will always be ingredients for success, but higher inequality has made having successful parents, if not essential, certainly a central part of the recipe.The belief that talent is something you are born with, and that opportunities are open to anyone with ambition and energy, also has a dangerous consequence. When the public policy is focused on the difficult situation of the poor, this belief can help the concept resurface that the poor are “undeserving” and are the authors of their own situation. Yet we actually know a good deal about why children of the poor have a higher chance of being stuck on poverty as adults. The recipes for breaking this intergenerational trap are clear; a nurturing (培养) environment in the early years combined with accessible and high-quality health care and education promote the capacities of young children, heighten the development of their skills as they grow older, and eventually raise their chances of upward mobility.Talent is nurtured and developed, and even genes are expressed differently depending upon environmental influences.The 1 percent are the goal for these upper-middle-class families, who after all have also experienced significant growth in their relative standing. The graduate and other higher degrees that they hold, for which they put in considerable effort, have put them on the upside of the wave of globalization and technical change that has transformed the American job market. An age of higher inequality gives them both more resources to promote the capacities of theirchildren, and more encouragement to make these investments since their children now have all the more tgain.For them, an American dream based on effort and talent still lives, and as a result they are less likely, with their considerable cultural and political influence, to support the reshaping of American public policy to meet its most pressing need: the future of those at the bottom.1、What do we know about Gus Wenner?A．He will prove himself competent in the future.B．He has some work experience in the company.C．He is the co-founder and publisher of the magazine.D．He is too young to be in charge of the company.2、The phenomenon illustrated by the appointment of Gus Wenner ________.A．stops people from dreaming the American dreamB．encourages the government to carry out public policiesC．reduces the level of people's tolerance of economic inequalityD．narrows the possibilities of people at the bottom moving upward3、By saying “Being able to succeed regardless of the economic circumstances in which you were born,” the respondents of the survey ________.A．showed their upset about the inequalityB．expressed their gratitude for the fairnessC．indicated their determination to succeedD．gave their satisfaction with the circumstances4、Which of the following opinions does the author hold?A．Lack of talent leads to people‟s difficult situations.B．When someone is born, his future has been decided.C．The environment where one is brought up determines his fate.D．Opportunities are open to anyone ambitious and energetic.5、We can infer from the passage that the public policy for the poor faces opposition from________.A．the lower class B．all classes of societyC．the top one percent D．the upper middle class6、What is the best title for the passage?A．How old are you?B．What is your talent?试卷第4页，共17页C ．Who is your daddy?D ．Where is your future?One of the strangest features of motherhood is that the vast majority of mothers prefer to cradle their babies in the left arm. Why should this be? The obvious explanation is that the majority of mothers are right handed and they wish to keep their right handed and they wish to keep their right hand free. Unfortunately, this explanation cannot apply, because left-handed mothers also favor their left arm for holding their babies. The precise figures arc 83 percent for right-handed mothers and 73 percent for left-handed mothers.The most likely explanation is that the mother's heart is on the left side and, by holding the baby in her left arm, she is unconsciously bringing her baby closer to the sound of the heart-beat. This is the soun d the baby heard when it was inside the mother‟s womb and which is therefore an association with peace, comfort and security.Tests were carried out in nurseries where some babies were played the recorded sound of a human heart beat, and, sure enough, went to sleep twice as quickly as the others. We also know that the sound of mother's heart is quite audible inside the womb and that the unborn baby has a well-developed hearing.It is interesting that fathers show less of this left-side bias (偏爱) than mothers, suggesting that the human female is better programmed than her partner for carrying a baby. Alternatively ，she may unconsciously adjust her holding behavior to make baby fell more secure. Some new observations on our closest animals‟ relatives, the chimp anzees and gorillas, have revealed that they too show a strong bias for holding their babies on the left side. The precise figures were 84 percent for chimpanzees and 82 percent for gorillas, remarkably close to the human percentages.Recently a possible additional value in cradling babies on the left side has been suggested. It has been pointed out that, because, the two sides of the brain are concerned with different aspects of behavior, it is possible that the mother, in cradling the baby to her left, is showing the baby her “best side”. It is claimed that the emotions are expressed more strongly on the left side of the human face and that she therefore gives the baby a better chance to read her emotional mood changes as it gazes up at her. Furthermore, t he mother‟s left eye and ear are more tuned into emotional changes in her baby than her right eye and ear would be. So in addition to the baby‟s seeing the more expressive parts of its mother, there is further advantage that the mother is herself more sensitive to the left-held baby. This may sound far-fetched, but just possibly, itcould provide a slight extra benefit for those mothers displaying the strange one-sided bias when cradling their infants.How does a bias occur? Do the mothers have an instinctive preference for it, or do they learn it by trial and error, unconsciously adjusting the position of the babies until the babies are calmer? The surprising answer is that it seems to be the baby not the mother who controls the bias. Observation of new born infants when they were only a few hours old revealed that they come into the world with a pre-programmed tendency to turn their head to the right. If the new born baby is gently held in a dead central position and then released, it naturally swings to the right far more often than to the left. This happens in nearly 70 percent of babies. This may be only a part of explanation, because the holding bias is 80 percent not 70 percent, but it adds a further intriguing chapter to the story.7、How does the author develop Paragraph 1?A．By giving an example as a hook.B．By giving a general statement and narrowing it down.C．By asking a question and showing an answer.D．By explaining the importance of understanding a phenomenon.8、The underlined word “audible” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A．soft B．clearC．weak D．distant9、What‟s the main idea of Paragraph 5?A．The left side of the human face expresses emotions more strongly than the right.B．A mother‟s left eye and ear are more sensitive to the emotional changes in her baby.C．A baby may be more able to “read” its mother‟s emotions than was previously believed. D．Holding her baby in the left arm may improve a mother‟s emotional communication with it.10、What is the author‟s tone when he discusses why most mothers cradle their babies in the left arm?A．Cautious.B．Disapproving.C．Subjective.D．Favorable.When Breath Becomes Air gives an autobiography about Paul Kalanithi‟s experiences as a doctor and as a terminally ill patient. The book discusses Kalanithi‟s longtime fascination withquestions of human biology, mortality (死亡率), and meaning. It then examines how these试卷第6页，共17页questions are heightened by the author‟s own confrontation (冲突) with lung cancer, sickness, and death.Kalanithi‟s father was a doctor from New York City. The family moved to Kingman, Arizona, so that his father could pursue his medical career when Paul was young. His father worked long hours and was rarely home, which convinced young Paul that the last thing he wanted to do was to become a doctor himself. Paul‟s mother was concerned about the weak school system in Kingman, and so gave a long list of literary classics which she made Paul and his brothers read. As a result, Paul became fascinated by literature. He attended Stanford University, from which he graduated in 2000 with a B.A. and M.A. in English Literature and a B.A. in Human Biology. He earned an M. Phil in History Philosophy of Science and Medicine from the University of Cambridge. In 2007, Paul graduated from the Yale School of Medicine with the highest honors. He returned to Stanford for residency training (住院医生实习) in Neurological Surgery. As he neared the end of his 7-year residency he was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. The hopes and dreams he and Lucy, his wife, have held to are dramatically changed.When Breath Becomes Air gives an account of Kalanithi‟s transformation from an innocent medical stu dent troubled by the question of “what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life” into a young neurosurgeon (神经外科医生) at Stanford, guiding patients toward a deeper understanding of death and illness, and finally into a patient and a new father to a baby girl, confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a continuous present? What does it mean to have a child, to care for a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this deeply moving, delicately observed autobiography.Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. “I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything,” he wrote. “Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: …I can‟t go on. I‟ll go on.‟” When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-confirming reflection on the challenge of facing mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both. 11、What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A ．What led to the diagnosi s of Kalanithi‟s lung cancer.B ．Why Kalanithi changed his mind to become a doctor.C ．When Kalanithi decided to follow in his father‟s footsteps.D ．How Kalanithi developed his interest in English literature. 12、Which of the following words can be used to describe the book? A ．Discouraging. B ．Reflective. C ．Delightful.D ．Controversial.13、Kalanithi began to seek the meaning of life ________. A ．when he was a medical student B．when he became a neurosurgeon C ．when he studied English literature D ．when he was diagnosed with cancerThe following ads come from UW (University of Washington) newspaper called The Daily .试卷第8页，共17页14、If you are looking for a job only for the summer, how many choices do you have? A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.15、Which of the following is TRUE according to the ads?A．If you are good at swimming, you can try a job at 206-555-3989.B．All the companies advertising on the Daily are trustworthy.C．As a student, you don't need to pay a deposit when renting rooms.D．The fees for parking near University of Washington are the same.二、完形填空（题型注释）Research shows that when we are absorbed in an activity, even minor distractions (分心) can have a huge effect.
