The sooner the meteorologists（气象学家）could do so, the earlier they could warn those in the path of damaging wind gusts and fierce storm surges By six days ahead of landfall, it was clear that Lee （22）________（follow）the eastward path, and warnings were issued, accordingly. But （mother tool- an experimental AI model called GraphCast-（23）________（mate）that outcome accurately three whole days before the forecasters' traditional models.GraphCast's prediction is a window into AI's potential （24）________（improve）weather forecasts.

Google's Metnet, first introduced in2020, is already being used in products such as the company's “now cast” in its weather app. All are advertised as having an accuracy that is comparable with or higher than（27）________ on the best non-AI forecasting computer models and have caused a sensation in meteorology, with GraphCast （28）________（cause）the most significant stir so far.The DeepMind research team had put GraphCast through its paces by feeding it historical weather data to see if it could accurately “predict” what happened. The study showed the AI performed equal to or even better than the gold standard.Yet （29）________ GraphCast becomes probabilistic-- and even if the model's resolution improves and the AI becomes more accurate in its forecasts of rain and storm intensity - modeling remains just a single component of the weather- prediction pipeline, says Hendrik Tolman, senior adviser for advanced modeling systems at the NWS. However, every expert described GraphCast and other Al models as additional devices in their tool kit. If AI （30）________produce accurate forecasts quickly and cheaply, there's no reason not to begin using it together with existing methods.But will there be a world where AI models replace physics- based models— and people -- in the future?

S. Food and Drug Administration （FDA）recently approved the drug Aduhelm, produced by American biotechnology company Biogen with Japan's Eisai Co., to treat patients with Alzheimer's（老年痴呆症）disease. The approval was based on study results showing that the drug seemed“（31）________ likely” to benefit Alzheimer's patients, the FDA said.The decision, which could （32）________ millions of Alzheimer's patients and their families, has sparked disagreements among medical researchers. While the drug was shown to be effective in slowing the mental decline in patients' suffering from the disease, it was not proven to be effective in （33）________ its effects, the Associated Press reported. citing a study. The rate of mental decline in patients that had been administered Aduhelm was slowed by 22 percent when compared to patients who had received a placebo（安慰剂）. But even given these results, on a test that is conducted to evaluate the cognitive and （34）________ abilities of a patient, patients who were administered Adubelm only showed an increase of 0.39 in their- scores. And it's unclear how such metrics （度量标准）translate into practical benefits, like greater（35）________ or the ability to recall important details.The FDA's review of the drug has become a flashpoint in （36）________ debates over standards used to evaluate therapies for hard- to- treat conditions. On one side, groups representing Alzheimer's patients and their families say any new therapy - even one of small benefit -deserves approval. But many experts ward that（37）________ the drug could set a dangerous example by opening the door to treatments of questionable benefit.Alzheimer's is an irreversible, （38）________ brain disorder that slowly attacks areas of the brain that are essential to memory, reasoning, communication, and basic daily tasks.

S. National Institute on Aging.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.Some people like to read the instructions from start to finish before they take action while others study the diagrams and then jump right in. This 41 for one approach over another when learning new information is not uncommon. Indeed, the notion that people learn in different ways is such a universal belief in American culture that there is a thriving industry dedicated to 42 learning styles and training teachers to meet the needs of different learners.Just because a notion is popular, 43 , doesn't make it true. A recent review of learning styles found evidence to clearly support the idea that outcomes are 44 when instructional techniques align with （匹配）individuals' learning styles. Most previous investigations on learning styles focused on classroom learning, and assessed whether instructional style 45 outcomes for different types of learners. But is the 46 really where most of the serious learning occurs? Some might argue that, in this era of flipped classrooms and online course materials, students 47 more of the information on their own. That might explain why instructional style in theclassroom matters little. It also 48 the possibility that learning styles do matter. Perhaps a 49 between students' individual learning styles and their study strategies is the key to ideal outcomes.To explore this 50 , researchers asked students enrolled in an anatomy class （解剖课）to complete an online learning styles assessment, answer questions about their study strategies and report details about the 51 they used outside of class（e. g. flash cards, review of lecture notes, anatomy coloring books）.Scores suggested that most students used multiple learning styles, but that no particular style 52 better outcomes than another. The focus in this study, however, was not on whether a particular learning style was more53 . Despite knowing their own, self- reported learning preferences, nearly 70% of students 54 to employ study techniques that supported those preferences. Given the popular belief that learning styles matter, and the fact that many students 55 poor academic performance on the lack of a match between their learning style and teachers' instructional methods, one might expect students to rely on techniques that support their personal learning preferences when working on their own.41.

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）I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled （摸索）in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one toanother, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too.“Do you have kids?” he asked.“Yes, here, here.”I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.My life was saved by a smile, yes, the smile- the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn't be enemies. We couldn't have hate or envy or fear.56. The underlined sentence indicates that the author and the jailer started to have a ________ conversation.A. less impersonalB. more intenseC. less formalD. more friendly57. Which is true based on the first paragraph?A. My hands were shaking because of fear.B. The jailer was going to shoot me.C. I smile8 because I had to beg for life.D. He smiled to me because he wanted to.58. Their eyes were filled with tears because they both ________.A. took out the pictures of their familiesB. missed their families far awayC. had plans and hopes for futureD. feared that they would die59. How does a smile succeed in saving the author's life?A. By asking for the jailer to light a cigarette.B. By planning for an exchange of family pictures.C. By establishing natural connection between people.D. By hiding the human feelings of hate, envy or fear.（B）CareersHome The UN Workforce Pay and Benefits Career Journeys Career Options How to Apply Apply Now Home>> How To ApplyFAQs on preparing your ApplicationQ: Should I target my Application to a specific Job Opening（JO）?A: Yes.

Is it possible that we will ever find it? Or, more importantly did it even exist?The short answer to both: No. All available evidence indicates that the philosopher Plato, sometime around 360 B. C., invented the island nation to illustrate a point about the dangers of aggressive imperialism（势力扩张）. In Plato's telling, Atlantis was no utopia. Rather, it was a centrist to an idealized version of Athens from long before Plato's time. This ancient Athens was very similar to Plato's notion of the ideal state. Plato laid out the details for what such a state would look like in his famous work, I he Republic. It should be small and virtuous. The residents of Atlantis, on the other hand, were eventually “filled with an unjust lust for possessions and power," according to Plato's character who described the island.In Plato's texts, Atlantis was “larger than Libya and Asia combined,”（which, in Plato's time. would have referred to modern- day northern Africa and over half of Turkey）. It was situated in the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere outward from the Strait of Gibraltar. It's a landmass large enough that, if it really existed somewhere underwater in the Atlantic, it would certainly appear on sonar maps of the ocean floor.So how did Atlantis come to represent a lost utopic civilization? For that, you can mostly blame （or thank）Ignatius Donnelly. In 1882, the former U. S. Congressman published Atlantis. The Antediluvian World. The book laid out 13 hypotheses, centered on the idea that Atlantis had truly existed, and indeed represented a place “where early mankind dwelt for ages in peace and happiness. According to Donnelly, Atlantis was the original source of many ancient civilizations around the world. If one followed the clues in Plato's writing, Donnelly believed, Atlantis could be found. He was inspired by a remarkable discovery in the early 1870s. An amateur archaeologist claimed to have unearthed the legendary city of Troy based on Homer's The Iliad. If Troy, long thought to be fictional, was real, why shouldn't Atlantis be, too?Donnelly was certain of his theory, predicting that hard evidence of the sunken city would soon be found, and that museums around the world would one day be filled with artifacts from Atlantis. Yet about 140 years have passed without a trace of evidence. The Atlantis legend has been kept alive, fueled by the public's imagination and fascination with the idea of a hidden. long- lost utopia. Yet the “lost city of Atlantis was never lost; it is where it always was: in Plato's books.63. What can we learn about Plato?A. He predicted that Atlantis would be' destroyed by aggressive imperialism.B. He was inspired by utopia to gradually form the notion of the ideal state.C. He created the setting in which residents of Atlantis were not virtuous.D. He witnessed Atlanteans' pursuit of an unjust lust for possessions and power.64. Homer's The Iliad is mentioned ___________.A. to demonstrate the actual existence of the legendary city of Troy.B. as indirect evidence of the credibility of Plato's account of Atlantis.C. because it is a great piece of fictional writing about an ancient legend.D. because it contains many clues about the legendary city of Troy.65. According to the passage, Atlantis was ___________.A. a long- lost small utopia with many virtuous residents.B. a large landmass situated in the Atlantic Ocean.C. the original source of many ancient civilizations.D. Plato's invention against which to highlight his ideal.66. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Plato, Atlantis and How the City Collapsed and Finally Got LostB Plato Told a Lie, and Ignatius Donnelly was to Blame for ItC. The History, Legends, and Evidence of the Lost City of AtlantisD. Where Is the Lost City of Atlantis — and Does It Even Exist?Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. 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. In addition to painting on canvas, Crisco also paints on musical instruments.B. However, no matter what the scene is, none of the paintings focus on the darkness.C. His paintings take you on an unknown adventure into an unknown space, reminding you to be alert and brave.D.

As a self- taught artist s be found his passion for art at a dark time in his life when he found himself suddenly out or work.Bringing Light to the Darkness with Crisco ArtMost paintings are best enjoyed in galleries with good lighting. But an Italian artist who goes by the name Crisco is changing the way we look at paintings with a new approach: glow （发光）- in- the- dark paint.Crisco's paintings are beautiful in normal lighting, but it is when the lights go down that they really come alive. （67）_________ His art mostly shows landscapes. Trees, horizons, and especially starry skies come alive with the glow of his paints. At the center of most of his work, there is often a human or animal figure. The figure may be just a shadow surrounded by the glowing colors, but it often appears to be the source of the light. （68）_________ Instead, they are all bright pictures of hope, life, wonder, and growth. They are Crisco's way o t adding a little light to the world.Crisco's full name is Cristoforo Scorpiniti.（69）_________ Instead of letting a negative experience get the best of him, he threw himself into a new pursuit: art. According to Crisco, he paints with glowing colors to inspire hope. Though his paintings often show night scenes that look good in the dark, Crisco does not focus on the darkness.Instead, he uses his paintings to express positivity by creating light in the darkness.A lot of his best work has come out of just painting what he felt at the time without any plan or structure.（70）_________ With over half a million followers on Instagram, Crisco is already popular on social media for his unique paintings. He'll surely only get more famous in the future for his inspiring paintings that beautifully mix darkness and light.IV. Summary Writing71. Directions: Read the following passage.

These electrified vehicles are rising to popularity on the premise of environmental conservation and eliminating the need for harmful emissions. There are a couple of things. however, to consider before concluding that EVs are the most environmentally friendly option for consumers.Where do electric cars get their energy? Although EVs create no emissions on board, they typically draw power from lithium- ion batteries. These batteries require charging, either at home or via a publicly accessible charging station. Since EV charging infrastructure is mainly reliant on the power grid - specifically, the grid draws power from plants like coal plants - although your EV does not produce any harmful emissions as you drive it, burning fossil fuels is involved in fueling it. Moreover, temperature extremes like excessive coldness or heat can dramatically reduce lithium- ion battery life. Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Engineering and Technology says that the most extreme cases of coldness will compromise efficiency by as much as 40%. The decreased efficiency is an issue if the power stored in the battery packs of EVs is sourced from fossil fuel- burning.Besides the power source, metal s such as lithium and cobalt are wrapped up in environmentally and socially questionable processes, too. One of the first environmental issues lithium batteries pose is how to dispose of them properly. In an average battery recycling plant, all parts of the battery are shredded into a powder using a mechanical shredder and then either melted or dissolved into acid — recycling lithium batteries isn't as simple. Lithium batteries are typically made up of a mix of different elements including cobalt, nickel, manganese and iron —cobalt especially known to be a hazardous substance. In addition, most studies associate lithium mining in South America from salt brine with salinization（盐化）of freshwater that the locals need to survive. Since the mineral contains dangerous substances, the mining process also contaminates the local water basins. So, lithium extraction exposes the local ecosystems to poisoning and other related health problems.V.

According to the analysis, a fraction of the plastic pieces identified had a diameter too large to likely enter the body through inhalation(吸入) or ingestion(食入), which indicated that the heart operation 3 (it) may “permit direct access of micro plastics to the bloodstream and tissues.” The researchers cited previous scientific investigation showing that micro plastics have been detected in the air in operating rooms and could directly enter a patient organs are exposed to the air during surgery. The types of plastics 4 (detect) might also offer evidence that micro plastics could be introduced during surgery.“Previous studies have shown that micro plastics have been found in a number of human tissue samples—blood, lungs, breast milk, feces—which 5 (believe) to come from food, water supplies, or by inhalation,” says Dr. O'Toole, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in Kentucky. “The importance of this study seems to be that routine medical procedures may introduce them as well.”6 micro plastics get into the body, some scientific evidence has highlighted potential health hazards. An analysis looking at 17 previous reports 7 (involve) the impact of micro plastics on human cells, determined that ingesting micro plastics may contribute to cell death, allergic response, and damage to cell walls.“Chronic exposure may also lead to health problems associated with inflammation(炎症),such as diabetes or liver disease,” says O’Toole. “The danger to one’s health may depend on 8 long these particles have been in the heart. If just introduced during the procedure, micro plastics are probably not 9 immediate concern, but they may cause long-term problems if not cleared.”While the health implications are still unknown, and limiting exposure in our modem society maybe difficult, avoiding plastic packaging and plastic products when possible might reduce some risk.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can beWhat can you do to avoid Telecoms fraud (诈骗)?Telecoms fraud and other security breaches (安全漏洞) can be prevented and minimized by implementing a full end-to-end procedure. In addition, it’s important for you to secure your devices and services to strengthen your security and avoid any fraudulent activity or threats.Due to the 10 nature of the internet, it’s not always possible to guarantee protection against fraud. However, there are a variety of methods that you can put in 11 within your phone system’s security that can prevent this further:SecurityThe most important action to take when protecting your phone system or PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is investing in good security and password/account management software. You should be using password 12 and saving systems, as well as choosing passwords with complex combinations. It’s also important that you don’t use the same password for 13 accounts or systems. If a hacker finds this password, they can use it to get into and take control of all your systems, so remember to 14 update your passwords and make sure no two passwords are the same.Another way to protect your systems with passwords is to password protect your mobile phone. If you leave your mobile phone 15 , it’s very easy for a hacker or scammer toget in and setup call features, like 16 and voicemails on the handsets.Calling pattern analysisCall pattern analysis helps 17 patterns in call traffic and monitors and prevents calls which go over specific limits. This can be based around costs, call duration, volume, time of day and call destinations. Call traffic can’t be monitored all the time; however, a vast majority of fraudulent traffic can occur during holidays and weekends, when customers and suppliers arc away from the office and their devices. Any spikes (高峰) in traffic should generate 18 alerts to relevant parties and this activity can then be restricted, and additional measures can be put into place to protect you and your systems.Call barringCall baring lets you bar or block certain types of call, IP addresses and destinations from being made to or from your phone. You can 19 our call barring settings for both UK and international numbers. It’s also a good idea to bar calls from certain IP addresses and only authorize business or employee IP addresses to make calls.三、完形填空Algorithms in the Criminal Justice SystemSome of the best or at least sharpest, minds on the planet are devoted to guessing what we might buy next, and showing us advertisements for it. Often the results are unbelievably inaccurate; sometimes they are amazingly precise. Would we 20 the same kind of technology to predict what crimes we might next commit? That is the question raised by the latest report by campaigners at Liberty on the 21 of the police’s use of big data and machine learning.From my perspective, when big data are used to determine the course of the criminal justice system, they could 22 . Because machine learning can only detect patterns in the data that it is given, any bias in the original sample will only be 23 . So if past practice has been to prejudice against women or minorities, any algorithm fed on previous experience will 24 this pattern, but this time with the apparent authority of science behind it. And because modem machine learning techniques are hard to understand, even to their programmers, a computer cannot easily be made to 25 its own reasoning in the way that police officers can.The civil liberties group says it found at least 14 police forces in England and Wales are using or have used software to predict crimes in particular areas; three are attempting to use the same technology on individuals in order to predict their likelihood of 26 . It makes obvious sense to concentrate police resources where they are most needed, and this is especially true after the staff cuts are imposed. 27 , it is easy to see that the use of such software can bring about unjust discrimination. Because crimes are detected more often where there are police to keep an eye on them, the areas in which police are concentrated will 28 suggests that they need more police sent to them, and so on.Society does have a vital interest in being able to predict who is most likely to remake a crime, and to help them away from 29 . But the idea that algorithms could substitute for probation officers or the traditional human intelligence of police officers is 30 . Of course, such human judgments are sometimes unreliable. But training an algorithm on the results of previous mistakes merely means they can be made without human intervention in the future. The strongest single 31 of whether a young man will end up in jail is whether his father did so. People live down to society’s expectation, and we all lose as a result.The more data is collected and shared through the state’s various systems — not just the police, but schools, the welfare system and even, increasingly, the NHS — the 32 it will be for anyone to escape such stereotyping. The risk is a loss of liberty with no corresponding gain in efficiency. The damage this has done cannot be repaired by technology alone. Machines can make human 33 very much worse. They cannot be trusted to 34 human responsibility.20．A．develop B．introduce C．improve D．trust 21．A．implications B．interactions C．downsides D．principles 22．A．play a huge part B．raise much concern C．do great damageD．win much applause23．A．removed B．increased C．estimated D．reported 24．A．continue B．cease C．spread D．explain 25．A．assess B．ensure C．strengthen D．lose 26．A．relearning B．reoffending C．restarting D．reworking 27．A．Therefore B．In addition C．However D．Indeed 28．A．on end B．with doubt C．at random D．in turn29．A．distraction B．starvation C．depression D．temptation 30．A．doable B．ridiculous C．widespread D．innovative 31．A．weapon B．evidence C．foundation D．predictor 32．A．harder B．easier C．later D．earlier 33．A．advances B．arrangement C．misjudgments D．attempts 34．A．define B．weaken C．require D．eliminate四、阅读理解My wife and I usually don't keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either over watered or underwatered. After my diagnosis with glioblastoma—a terminal brain cancer with a prognosis of little more than a year to live—I loved the idea of having something green and alive around us. When my friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pottery bowl, we decided to place the plant in the living room window across from the couch where I spent much of each day.I told my wife I wanted to care for the plant myself. When it didn't immediately tum yellow or brown or lose all its leaves, I was pleasantly surprised. Tending the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless. Glioblastoma limited my ability to walk, and the treatment left me fatigued, making it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks.As a physician, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received t Since my diagnosis in August 2018, far too often, I had to rely on help from other people. The enormous change left me feeling adrift. Watering the plant, as small an act as it was, connected me to a core part of my old identity and taught me I could still be a caregiver. Plants and people could still depend on me. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush. Both the tree and I were thriving.Then, mysteriously, it began to show signs of stress. I increased my plant watering, then decreased it. I fed it commercial plant food. No matter what I did, the leaves kept browning and dropping to the floor. “I can't even care for a simple plant!” I yelled. “I'm failing!”My wife reminded me that we'd seen houseplants die before. She asked me why I was getting so worked up about this particular one. I couldn't shake the feeling that the plant had become a symbol of my own vulnerable health. Identifying with the green and growing planthad offered me solace. Its shriveling leaves, I worried, might signal the recurrence of my brain tumor.I realized I had wrongly connected my careful nurturing of the plant-something over which I had at least some control—with my own survival-something over which I had no control. When my tumor inevitably returned, it would not be because of any failure on my part—not because I didn't atomize essential oils in my of ice, not because I ate sugar occasionally and certainly not because I failed to keep this plant alive.As my anxiety lessened, I began to examine online tutorials to help me figure out how to care for my failing plant. Following the instructions, I transplanted the tree to a larger pot, untangling its roots to give it room to grow. When it was back in the sunny window, we both began to thrive again.35．According to Para 2-3, the writer achieved a sense of accomplishment in that .A．the plant nursed by him didn't show signs of being over watered or under-watered.B．watering the plants helped him to recover some other abilities in everyday tasks.C．the plants he tended were so flourishing that he realized he was still dependable.D．he could fulfill some routine tasks without the support from others anymore.A．superficial and hollow B．exhausted and hopelessC．unidentifiable and frustrated D．hysterical and fearful .37．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Lack of nutrients in the commercial plant food led the leaves to brown and drop.B．The writer was concerned that the condition of the plant signified his own health.C．The online tutorials relieved the writer's anxiety and made the plants revive again.D．Many failures in life combined gave rise to the writer's developing glioblastoma. 38．What is the passage mainly about?A．A physician's change in attitudes towards life.B．A man's journey of recovery and self-discovery.C．A lucky bamboo plant's “survive and thrive”.D．A patient's search for console in attending a plan.HKUWW Undergraduate StudentExchange-ProgrammeThe HKU Worldwide Undergraduate Student Exchange Programme (HKUWW) provides exchange places from partner institutions (or host institutions) of the University for one or two semester(s).

It sounded to me like someone was dragging a muffler or bumper, so I started looking for the car to alert the driver. But no matter how fast or slow I moved, or where I turned, I couldn’t locate the car. At this point I noticed people on the sidewalk pointing and laughing at me. I stopped and found the gas hoses ill attached to my car. I immediately pulled out the hose and drove back to the gas station, where I was educated on the economics of breaking a gas pump.My memory of that night is odd because I was judging the behavior of another person, who then turned out to be me. Philosophers might say that in these rare minutes, my “I-self” (the seer of things around me) and “me-self” (the one seen) were mentally separated.This kind of separation is unnatural. Making it your permanent state of mind would be difficult and perhaps even undesirable. Each of us can, however, purposely change the balance of time we spend as observers and as the objects of observation. And working to observe more than you think about being observed can be an excellent way to get happier.When you look into a mirror, you see yourself almost as if you were two-different people — one who sees, and one who is seen. That may sound confusing, but bear with me here, because both versions of you are important. As the philosopher William James explored in depth, you must be an observer of things around you to survive and thrive, but you must also observe yourself and be observed by others to have any consistent sense of self-concept and self-image. Without observing, you would get hit by a car or starve. Without being observed, you would have no memory, history, or sense of why you do what you do.The tick for wellbeing is balancing your I-self and me-self. But most of us spend too much time being observed and not enough time observing. We think constantly about ourselves and how others see us; we look in every mirror; we check our mentions on social media; we obsess over our identities.This brings trouble. Research has shown, for example, that focusing on the world outside yourself is linked to happiness, while focusing on yourself and how others see you can lead to unstable moods. Your happiness goes up and down like a yo-yo, depending on whether you see yourself positively or negatively in a given moment. This instability is hard to bear; no wonder self-absorption is associated with anxiety and depression.Seeing yourself as an object rather than a subject can also lower your performance in ordinary tasks. Researchers have found in learning experiments that people are less likely to try new things when they are focused on themselves. This makes sense: When you pay too much attention to yourself, you ignore a lot about the outside world.42．The writer mentioned his own experience in Para1 in order to .A．express his guilt of having intended to alert and criticize other peopleB．illustrate his annoyance of being pointed and laughed by other peopleC．give a vivid example of separating “me-self” and “I-self” mentallyD．educate people about the disastrous consequence of breaking a gas pump 43．Which of the following statements will the philosopher William James most probably agree with?A．Observing more than being observed can enable people to be happier in life.B．Observing and being observed is equally important to consistently learning about oneself.C．Through being observed, we might get a clue to the features of our surroundings.D．Balancing I-self and me-self allows us not only to survive but also to thrive. 44．What is the writer’s attitude towards focusing on “me-self”?A．Affirmative.B．Neutral.C．Negative.D．Unconcerned. 45．Based on the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Achieving the balance between “I-self” and “me-self” is the key to well-being.B．It’s undesirable for normal people to distinguish mentally between “I-self” and“me-self”.C．Spending more time observing the things around us than being observed is notadvocated.D．The occurrence of anxiety and depression is attributed to focusing on the outside world.五、六选四Why We Hate the Feeling of Failure and How It Affects Us Loss aversion is the idea that a potential loss has greater weight in a person's mind than the possible gain. People seek to avoid failure and the negative feelings they expect will come from such a loss.46 . Marketers want to understand the emotions surrounding loss so they can word advertisements in a way that prompts consumers to feel they need to buy a product to avoid negative feelings.More recently, social scientists have turned their at tent on to how loss aversion can hinder people from performing in their daily lives. 47 .Sports and athletic performance was one of the first areas of focus. A study in May 2023 looked at how adult athletes were hindered by a fear of failure. It found that athletes who feared failure tended to approach an athletic event and appraise(评估) it for potential losses.Losses weren't just related to the final numbers on the scoreboard. Rather, some athletes approached a practice or a game and saw it as a potential to perform poorly and lose standing with their coach, teammates or fellow athletes. 48 Scholars are also considering how a fear of failure impacts academics. In a 2015 article, researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 33 studies that measured the relationship between procrastination and academic performance.Not surprisingly, procrastination was shown to decrease academic performance.49 .Rather, this type of I'll-get to-it later mentality was a loss aversion strategy. When a student didn't feel confident or competent in completing a task, whether it was writing an essay or studying for an exam, they procrastinated to delay feeling like a failure.While our fear of loss may impact our mindset and whether or not we pursue something new, if we let that fear take hold, then we’ve already lost. There for, don’t let fear of failure keep you from trying something new.A．Researchers have examined how fear of failure can lead to-procrastination.B．The loss was seen as humiliating and something the athlete feared or wanted to avoid.C．Research has found this fear of failure drives people to stop pursuing their passions.D．However, the study found that it wasn't due to students prioritizing their social life or Netflix queue.E．Doubt has killed their dreams than failure ever willF．Loss a version has long been used to study consumer psychology.六、概要写作50．阅读下面短文，根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

AThe Best Hotels in Edinburgh Close to the Must-See SightsEdinburgh is home to some of the best hotels in Scotland.Here are some selected hotels,ranging from iconicfive-star institutions to new apartment hotels.The Balmoral HotelFor luxury accommodation,the Balmoral hotel offers five-star service and fantastic views of Edinburgh Castle.It is in the city center and features the iconic clock tower.The Balmoral is probably the most famous hotel in the city and is famous for its hospitality.It is also popular with locals for afternoon tea.Wilde Apart HotelWilde Apart hotel is a modern,stylish hotel.The hotel features well-appointed（设备齐全的）serviced apartments that have fully equipped small kitchens,free WiFi,and car parking nearby.The apartments are ideal for those who are staying in the city for more than a night or two and would like to have a small kitchen to enjoy breakfast or lunch.The Radisson Collection HotelThe Radisson Collection Hotel overlooks the iconic Royal Mile.It’s just a short walk from attractions such as Edinburgh Castle and Holy rood Park,and it’s within easy reach of local restaurants,shops,bars,and galleries. Everything you will want to see and do in Edinburgh is close to hand,and it’s five minutes from Waverly Train Station and airport links.The hotel’s design is modern.Scotsman HotelOriginally built as The Scotsman newspaper offices in1905,Scotsman Hotel has been carefully restored into nine floors of rooms and suites with commanding views over the city.Located at the top end of North Bridge,the hotel occupies the prime real estate spot(黄金地段)in Edinburgh.Easy access to Waverley Train Station and airport shuttles,the hotel is probably the most well-appointed accommodation in terms of transport links.We hope you love the Edinburgh hotels we recommend!21.Which hotel suits customers who love cooking by themselves?A.Scotsman Hotel.B.Wilde Apart Hotel.C.The Balmoral Hotel.D.The Radisson Collection Hotel.22.What makes the Scotsman Hotel different from the others?A.Its special origin.B.Its central situation.C.Its commanding views.D.Its convenient transportation.23.Where is this text probably taken from?A.A travel journal.B.A tour report.C.A tourist website.D.A hotel research.BI went to Yuanhe Middle School in Xihaigu,Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region,a place that used to be one of the poorest regions in China,to participate in an English class with village children.Most kids in the school come from poor village homes and are“left behind”children一kids whose parents work in the cities to make a better living.After class,we chatted a lot,and they wondered about everything,using“outside world”as a term to describe the wider globe for many times.Taking care of rural children is essential.The school offers boarding services and free breakfast and lunch to the students,who can also video chat with their parents daily.To better care for the village children,the school provides outdoor hiking,technology,art,and foreign language program s to help them understand the outside world.After all, high-quality education to disadvantaged village children is the key to poverty-alleviation（扶贫）efforts.During my trip in Xihaigu,I also visited Ningxia Normal University,where over70%of its students major in education.In2013,local and central governments launched public-funded programs to recruit students interested in becoming teachers in Ningxia’s rural villages and districts.By2023,3,500students were enrolled in the program, many of whom came from disadvantaged village households in Xihaigu.I had the opportunity to speak with Yang,a public-funded student from the once-poor Xihaigu region.After finishing school,he planned to stay in the Xihaigu area as a teacher to teach the kids knowledge.Yang told me that knowledge is the key to leading a better life as well as understanding the world.A lack of knowledge is one of the main factors of being poor.Money could help the poor for a while but not once for all.He hopes that by sharing knowledge with the kids in his hometown,he can help them broaden their horizons and develop an objective perspective on the world.He envisions a future where these children can use their knowledge to make a better life,stop people’stereotypes(固有印象)about China and share Xihaigu’s stories with the rest of the world.24.Why did the kids repeatedly mention“outside world”?A.Out of curiosity about the unknown world.B.With the hope of changing the world outside.C.To show their experiences about the wider globe.D.For lack of confidence towards their inner world.25.What is paragraph3mainly about?A.The key to poverty-alleviation efforts.B.The aid to the kids on life and education.C.The teaching conditions of the school.D.The high-quality education of the school.26.What can we infer from the author’s trip in Ningxia Normal University?A.Students in this university can be free of charge.B.The authorities support Ningxia’s rural areas by stressing education.C.The public-funded programs target at the students from poor regions.D.Money is less important than knowledge for the people in Xihaigu’s villages.27.Which of the following may agree with Yang’s opinion?A.Learn and live.B.Sharp tools make good work.C.Hang on to your dreams.D.Poverty-alleviation starts with education.CAs archaeologists（考古学家）examined ancient tombs in Turfan in western China,they discovered some surprisingly well-preserved and familiar relics.Though hardened from over1,000years,there sat little dumplings.Exactly who invented dumplings remains a mystery.But some scholars suspect they were first spread by nomadic（游牧的）Turki c peoples living in western China and Central Asia.This is thought to be the case because “manti,”meaning“dumpling”or“steamed bun”in many Turkic languages,appears to be the root word for dumpling in several other languages.Ancient Turkic people probably filled their dumplings with meat.But it’s unclear when this practice began,or whether they learned the art of dumpling-making from others.However this happened,dumplings certainly gathered steam in ancient China.Dumplings continued to take off and diversify in China over the next thousand years.Instead of the traditional meat filling,some communities chose vegetarian（素食）dumplings.People developed new cooking methods.The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace,but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues.Besides Turkic tribes,some scholars believe that the Mongol Empire also contributed to the spread of dumplings, perhaps introducing them to parts of Eastern Europe.These dumplings could have come by way of China or directly from some of the Turkic peoples the Mongols hired to run their empire.One theory is that this gave rise to dumplings like pelmeni in Russia,pierogi in Poland and vareniki in Ukraine.The Mongol Empire also controlled Korea and might have likewise introduced dumplings ter,after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries,English speakers began calling them dumplings,which means“little lumps”.During the Second World War, Chinese“jiaozi”were brought to Japan.So what about the Italian dumpling-like pasta?Some historians think it might be brought by Arab conquerors.It’s unlikely that all dumpling dishes came from the same root tradition.However,we can appreciate the mysterious historical web that made dumplings so various.28.What made Turkic peoples suspected to first spread dumplings?A.The languages they used.B.Their eating habits.C.Their dumpling-making skills.D.The newly found tombs.29.What does the phrase“gathered steam”in paragraph2mean?A.Originated.B.Stabilized.C.Got well-cooked.D.Became popular.30.What does paragraph4focus on?A.The spreading process of dumplings.B.The possible origins of dumplings.C.Differences between various dumplings.D.Reasons for the popularity of dumplings.31.Which of the following best describe dumplings according to the passage?A.Delicious.B.Diverse.C.Unusual.D.Regional.DSonia Kleindorfer was a new director of the Konrad Lorenz Research Center in Austria.At her institute,Konrad Lorenz was a famous Austrian zoologist who could correctly name each kind of goose,which made Kleindorfer feel a certain amount of pressure.“I can do five,but when the next five come,I start to have a mental meltdown,”she says. So she contacted a more technically-minded colleague and asked him:Could he write a program to distinguish these faces?He said,yes,but he’d need a database of geese photos to work with.Kleindorfer got her team out there,snapping picture s of the geese from every angle.After building the database,they wrote a piece of facial recognition Al that could ID a goose,by looking at specific feature s of its beak（喙）.After a couple of years,the team reports that their goose recognition software is now about97%accurate.“Geese have such drama—there are archrivals（劲敌）,and jealousy and retribution（报答）,”Kleindorfer says. To find out how faces figured into this drama,she presented the geese with full-sized pictures of themselves,their partners,or another member of the flock.She showed evidence that geese seemed to recognize photos of their partners and friends,but not themselves.For further study,Sonia Kleindorfer hopes birdwatchers will someday be able to snap a picture of a goose,ID it,and share its location with scientists.But she adds,just remember,her new research suggests that bird watching goes both ways:Geese can remember faces too.“If you are ever not kind to a goose,”she warns,“that goose may find you again.”Kleindorfer thinks that facial recognition is going to play a really important role in conservation and ecology.“We need more computer scientists trained in behavioral ecology and we need more conservation scientists trained in computer science,”she says.“But working together,I think we can do this.”32.What was the problem of Sonia Kleindorfer at work?A.She was always stressed.B.She was not able to count the geese.C.She suffered a mental illness.D.She couldn’t recognize all the geese.33.How does the program distinguish the geese?A.By snapping pictures of the geese.B.By presenting the full-sized pictures.C.By identifying the beaks in the photos.D.By building the database of the geese.34.What is the finding of the new research?A.Birdwatching is a dangerous activity.B.Geese can locate and find human beings.C.Geese have the ability of facial recognition.D.Birdwatchers can snap a picture of a goose.35.What does Kleindorfer stress in the last paragraph?A.Science training.puter science.C.Photo-taking skills.D.Cross-subject study第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Sending text messages for fun? Playing games? Well mobile phones can do 36 more than that. 37 this year’s Asian tsunami (海啸), mobile phones saved many 38 . More than 10,000 international phones were 39 when the tsunami hit. Police sent text messages to them and found more than 2,000. But how? People 40 the signal and found out 41 the tourists were. So, how can 42 so small be so smart? Well here’s how! When you turn the phone on, it tries to find a signal. This signal comes from the telephone network.If you have a signal you can see it on the phone’s screen. Sometimes, if the signal is weak,43 can be difficult to make a phone call. When the phone is finding a signal, it also sends a44 to the telephone network. This message tells the station where the phone is.

That was bad enough and we didn’t like it. But when we went on our first camping trip with the scouts (童子军), it was even 47 . We were only ten years old, and while 48 went into their sleeping bags for the night, we were not happy to snuggle (紧偎) inside a double sleeping bag my mother made for us.At school our classmates 49 us Henfield One and Henfield Two, so people couldn’t even see our difference according to our initials (姓名的开头字母) because 50 of us were M. O. It was only when I went to college and began to have my own friends that I started to feel my own freedom of identity.Before I went to college , during my last secondary school 51 , I got a job on a building site. My twin brother, Mike Henfield, didn’t work. He was resting. One day I said to the foreman (工头), “Can I have a week off?‖ ―Certainly,‖ he said, ―but you won’t have the job when you 52 back.‖ I didn’t want to 53 the job. So on Monday morning, Mike went down in my jeans (牛仔裤), jacket and hat and he worked for me for one week. 54 of them knew the difference.Now I am growing old and I feel very different 55 my twin brother.

To many people, the cause is clear: We eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea.Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch television.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people don't eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1970 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts.The more the men ran, the greater loss of body fat.The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake (吸收).Thus those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost greatest amount of body fat.（）56．What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?A．They are too slim. B．They work too hard.C．They are too fat. D．They lose too much body fat.（）57．Based on (基于) the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have weight problems?A．30 B．50 C．100 D．150（）58．Is there scientific evidence to support eating too much is the cause of a ―weight problem‖?A．Y es, there is plenty of evidence.B．Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C．There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D．We don't know because the information is not given.（）59．In comparison (比较) with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910 _______ .A．ate more food and had more physical activitiesB．ate less food but had more activitiesC．at less food and had less physical exercisesD．had more weight problems（）60．What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?A．Fat people eat less food and are less active.B．Fat people eat more food than slim people and are less active.C．Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.D．Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake（B）The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments—outside the jeweller’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would bring in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used tobuying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.（）61．A good title for this passage is ________.A．A Clever AssistantB．Buying a Birthday PresentC．How to Choose a NecklaceD．A Brave Y oung Man（）62．The word ―overspending‖ in this passage means ________ .A．spending too much moneyB．spending too much timeC．spending more time than he plannedD．spending too much time and too much money（）63．When James told the assistant why he wanted to buy a present, his face _______.A．turned pale B． turned redC．turned yellow D． turned black（）64．James and Laura reached the shop atA．4:30 B．5:00 C．5:30 D．6:00（）65．James would come back to buy what he wanted because _______.A．the assistant knew how to satisfy the people who came to buy thingsB．the necklace was goodC．Laura liked the necklaceD．the assistant who served James was very beautiful（C）On June 17, 1774, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the college of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us, they werebad manners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods – they were totally good for nothing.We are, however, not the less obliged（强制、迫使）by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them all we know, and make men of them. （）66．The passage is about _______ .A．the talk between the Indians and the officialsB．the colleges of the northern provincesC．the educational values of the IndiansD．the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteen century（）67．The Indian chief’s purpose of writing the letter seems to be to _______ .A．politely refuse a friendly offerB．express their opinions on equal treatmentC．show their prideD．describe Indian customs（）68．According to the letter, the Indians believed that _______ .A．it would be better for their boys to receive some schoolingB．they were being insulted (侮辱) by the offerC．they knew more about science than the officialsD．they had better way of educating young men（）69．Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians thought _______ .A．young women should also be educatedB．they had different goals of educationC．they taught different branches of scienceD．they should teach the sons of the officials first（D）Childhood is a happy time, right? Not necessarily. Consider these facts.Depression may occur in as many as 1 in 33 children.Once a child has an episode (一段情节) of depression, he or she has a 50 percent chance of experiencing another episode in the next 5 years.Suicide (自杀) is the 6th leading cause of death for 5–to–15-year-olds.If your child experiences 5 or more of these signs or symptoms for at least 2 weeks, he or she may be experiencing depression or another mental illness.Feeling ——Does your child demonstrate:SadnessEmptinessHopelessnessGuiltWorthlessnessLack of enjoyment in everyday pleasuresThinking ——Is your child having trouble:ConcentratingMaking decisionsCompleting schoolworkMaintaining gradesMaintaining friendshipsPhysical problems ——Does your child complain of :HeadachesStomachachesLack of energySleeping problems (too much or too little)Weight or appetite (胃口) changes (gain or loss)Behavior problems ——Is there your child:IrritableNot wanting to go to schoolWanting to be alone most of the timeHaving difficulty getting along with othersCutting classes or skipping schoolDropping out of sports, hobbies or other activitiesDrinking alcohol or using drugs.Suicide risk ——Does your child talk or think about:SuicideDeathOther morbid (生病的) subjectsSometimes, a child who causes problems at school or at home may actually be depressed, according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. If you think your child may be depressed, it’s important to have your child treated. Discuss your child’s problems with his or her doctor. The doctor may suggest a referral (治疗安排) to a children’s psychologist (心理医生) or psychiatrist (精神病医生) .Treatment may include individual and family therapy (治疗), along with an antidepressant medication (抗抑郁药)（）70．This article is particularly written for _______ .A．parents B．teachersC．children D．psychologists（）71．Which statement describes a child who may have physical problems?A．The child is always in high mood.B．The child always feels tired but sleeps only four hours a day.C．The child hates to study.D．The child can not concentrate on one thing for a long period.（）72．When your child always talks about death or other morbid subjects, he or she _______ .A．may has trouble in thinking B．may have suicide riskC．may have behavior problems D．may have physical problems（）73．What should we do when we find our kids experiencing depression?A．Ask for leave to accompany them at home.B．Ask them to take antidepressant immediately.C．Go to see the doctor.D．Ask them to have a good rest.（E）Do dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie (大牧羊犬) named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee (黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination (排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种) known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. Y ou might just get a big, wet kiss in return!（）74．From paragraph 2 we know that _______ .A．animals are as clever as human beingsB．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD．dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children（）75．Both experiments show that _______ .A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB．Rico can recognize different things including toysC．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD．Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them（）76．Which of the following statements is true?A．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.B．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D．Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.（）77．What does the writer want to tell us?A．To train your dog. B．To talk to your dog.C．To be friendly to your dog. D．To be careful with your dog.（F）Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.If so, use these tips to help you.Study T echniques●Y ou should always study in the same place. Y ou shouldn’t sit in a position that you use foranother purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.●Y our eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position yourbook at an angle of 30 degrees.●Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing beforebeginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.T est-taking Skills●All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plentyof rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test! It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.●Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will alsoimprove your concentration. Eat healthy food too.●When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly anddeeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention.（）78．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Y ou should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.B．Y our concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.C．Check the time during the exam at a certain time.D．Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.（）79．What does the underlined word ―it‖ refer to?A．Y our study desk or table. B．Y our textbook.C．Y our dictionary. D．The equipment you need.（）80．What can be inferred from the passage?A．Y ou shouldn’t look at everyone else during the test.B．Y ou will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.C．Y ou’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.D．If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.第Ⅱ卷（共40分）Ⅳ．单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分；共计10分）81．He has some o________________ (机会) of studying abroad．82．I have no trouble e________________ (表达) myself in English.83．Parents are always d________________ (依靠) on by their children in China．84．H_______________ (听到) the good news, we all jumped with joy.85．This is the t________________ (二十五) lesson that we have learned this term. 86．The s________________ (学生) reading-room is right on the second floor of the library. 87．I changed into my sports shoes so that I could walk more c________________ (舒服). 88．He is the n_______________ (顽皮) boy of the two.89．We should never drink b______________ (沸腾) water, or we will be hurt.90．The boy was f________________ (迷住) by the toys.Ⅴ．翻译（共5小题，每小题3分；共计15分）91．如果你放弃了希望，就不可能成功。
