Boateng, growing up in a small village in southern Ghana/struggling to access basic health care, felt an urgent call to help and decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana.Boateng worked hard in school, getting a scholarship to study biology at Cornell University in the US, and ultimately earned his master’s in Healthcare Administration. Later he started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and converted a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van to bring health care directly to those in need in 2021.A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide free routine medical care. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people,” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another.Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4, 000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care. To supplement the mobile clinic, Boateng’s organization has also trained 20 volunteers to serve as local health advocates. They check people’s vitals and provide the medical team with timely data for assessing how to move forward with care and treatment, especially for those whose health is atrisk.In the future, Boateng hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. “I believe that our model can be replicated in sub-Saharan Africa,” he said.4．What inspired Boateng to set his life goal?A．He wanted to get a scholarship.B．Many locals died of deadly diseases.C．The birthplace of him was small and poor.D．Basic health care was inaccessible for locals.5．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How Boateng’s team functions.B．Why Boateng’s team was founded.C．What Boateng’s team has achieved.D．Where Boateng’s team has travelled. 6．What is Boateng’s attitude to his team in the future?A．Ambiguous.B．Ambitious.C．Indifferent.D．Doubtful. 7．What is the best title for the text?A．A van bringing medical care to thousandsB．A country lacking basic health careC．Efforts to provide people with medicationsD．Mobile vans travelling through GhanaBeejhy Barhany, growing up in an Ethiopian-Jewish community in Israel, has been cooking for her family as long as she can remember. Now a chef and owner of Tsion Café in Harlem, New York, Barhany continues to pull from cooking traditions, including one that has become the source of much controversy in recent decades: washing raw meat before cooking.For Barhany, submerging raw chicken in salt and lemon water is both functional and ceremonial, as soaking or rinsing raw meat in salt water and acid-such as lemon juice or vinegar-is a common form of “washing” required by Jewish Kosher rules. And a 2015 survey of over 1, 500 American consumers found that nearly 70 percent rinse or wash their poultry before cooking it, though the U. S. Department of Agriculture( USDA) started telling consumers not to wash raw poultry in the 1990s. Experts including those from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionstrongly warned that rather than reducing the risk of foodborne illness (食源性疾病), washing meat increases the likelihood of spreading unwanted pathogens (病原体), like salmonella and campylobacter, around the kitchen.“Washing meat before cooking is not really helping,” says Betty Feng, associate professor of food science at Purdue University. “The only thing it does is splashing (飞溅) and could cross-contaminate a lot of your kitchen items-your sink, probably your clothes, whatever you have by the sink.” Moreover, Feng cautions against using saltwater, vinegar, or lemon juice, which simply isn’t strong enough to effectively kill foodborne pathogens. “If the acidity is high enough to kill bacteria, then it’s not really likely you can use your bare hand to wash,” she says.And a 2022 study showed that submerging meat in a bowl of water reduced the splashing but not the spread of germs. “I would treat the entire sink just like the outside of the chicken——it’s a biological hazard,” says Benjamin Chapman, one of the study authors and associate professor in North Carolina State University’s agricultural and human sciences department. “The way that we make meat safe is through cooking, not through the removal of pathogens.”8．What is the purpose of paragraph 1?A．To broaden the readers’ horizons.B．To make a comparison.C．To introduce the topic.D．To state the author’s opinion.9．What is mentioned about the Jewish Kosher rules from this text?A．Nearly 70 percent of American consumers follow the rules.B．The rules pay attention to functional and ceremonial aspects.C．Uncooked meat is submerged in water with salt and vinegar.D．It warns people of the risk of foodborne illness.10．What is TRUE about “washing meat before cooking” according to Betty?A．It has sparked a lot of controversy in recent years.B．It has decreased the risk of foodborne illness.C．It can not be directly done/with your bare hands.D．It may do a favor/ to the transfer of pathogens.11．Why is the underlined phrase “biological hazard” mentioned in the last paragraph?A．To emphasize that chickens pose a level/of threat to humans’ life.B．To show that sinks can be a way to increase splashing.C．To prove that cooking is a good way to kill pathogens.D．To stress that the practice people follow is not advisable.The world’s largest ape Gigantopithecus blacki (G. blacki) vanished from Earth between 295, 000 and 215, 000 years ago, more than 100, 000 years earlier than once thought, pushed to extinction as the environment around it shifted, researchers reported recently in Nature.The fate of G. blacki, twice the size of the largest modern apes and resembling a super-sized version of its close cousin, the orangutan, has long been a mystery. For about 2 million years, G. blacki inhabited a landscape of forests and grasses in what’s now southern China. It left behind only scattered remnants: thousands of teeth and four jawbones, unearthed in cave sediments in the region.To establish a chronology for the ape’s extinction, paleoanthropologist Yingqi Zhang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and his colleagues used different dating techniques to determine the ape’s habits, diet and environment. In the teeth, they looked for data on the ape’s diet, measuring isotopes (同位素) of carbon and oxygen as well as examining the teeth for tiny evidence of wear and tear — which can reveal not only diet, but also give hints of repeated behaviors and stress. The team also analyzed the cave sediments bearing the fossils, hunting for fossil pollen and conducting luminescence dating (光释光测年) on radioactive elements within the sediments.The team’s reconstruction revealed that — around 700, 000 to 600, 000 years ago, southern China shifted from its forested landscape to a more seasonally-driven environment. Some apes, including the orangutans, were able to adapt to these changes. But G. blacki was unable to change rapidly enough, and its numbers slowly dwindled before going extinct, the team suggested.The assembled evidence told a convincing story that “the extinction of G. blacki coincided in southern China with a decrease of forest cover and expansion of savanna-like environments,” said Hervé Bocherens, a biogeologist at the University of Tuebingen in Germany. Still, he said, documenting the extinction of this species from the fossil record is tricky — and it’s impossible to rule out the possibility that pockets of G. blacki may have lingered in still-undiscovered caves for longer.12．What can be known about G. blacki according to paragraph 2?A．G. blacki shared certain similarities with the orangutan.B．G. blacki was twice larger than the largest modern apes.C．G. blacki lived in places full of basins and deserts.D．G. blacki might have thousands of teeth.13．What did Zhang and his workmates do to figure out information related to G. blacki ?A．They checked the situation of G. blacki.B．They repeated the behaviors done by G. blacki.C．They applied radioactive elements to the analysis of the cave sediments.D．They measured isotopes of carbon and hydrogen in G. blacki diet.14．What is the meaning of the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 4?A．Increased.B．Reduced.C．Unchanged.D．Multiplied. 15．What can we learn from Bocherens’s words?A．Many hands make light work.B．One good turn deserves another.C．Knowledge advances by steps and not by leaps.D．Experience must be bought.With the development of computers, increasing students type with a greater-than-ever reliance on them to take notes and write papers. 16 Some parents of younger students are dismayed that their children are not just encouraged but required to take laptops to class. Additionally, university professors complain of rampant (泛滥的) distraction in classrooms, with students reading and messaging instead of listening to lectures.A line of research shows the benefits of an “innovation” that predates computers: handwriting. 17 It includes helping students recall a random series of words and grasp complicated concepts better. For rote (死记硬背) learning, from the shapes of letters to the irregularity of English spelling, the benefits of handwriting lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material.One of the best-demonstrated advantages of handwriting seems to be in superior note-taking. In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and. Danny Oppenheimer, students typing wrotedown almost twice as many words and more passages word for word from lectures. 18 . Instead, handwriting -which takes longer for nearly all university-level students-forces note- takers to transform ideas into their own words. 19Many studies have confirmed handwriting’s benefits, and policymakers have taken note.20 In Sweden there is a push for more handwriting books and fewer devices.Although nearly all will eventually need typing skills, in an age of typing, handwriting still matters.A．Studies have found that handwriting can improve everything.B．This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing.C．But today a different debate is raging about the dangers of typing.D．It suggested they didn’t understand the material so much as parrot (鹦鹉学舌) it. E．However, several schools in America have gone so far to ban most laptops. F．Especially. studies have found that writing on paper can better students’ performance. G．For instance, about half the states in America have commanded more teaching of handwriting instruction.二、完形填空In 2015, Misty Copeland was named a principal dancer-a ballerina of the highest rank — at American Ballet Theatre.

ACambridge Open DaysThe Cambridge Open Days for potential applicants in Year 12 will be on 5 and 6 July (booking is essential)．All subjects will be offering course presentations and information stands.Tours and additional sessions may also be available in subject departments.Many colleges will be open all day for Cambridge Open Day visitors.However，some will be holding their own collegespecific event, for which a separate booking with that college is required.College open daysDuring college open days you can pick up a range of information and get a sense of college life, but remember that visiting a particular college doesn't commit you to applying to that college.Department open daysDepartment open days focus on the specific course(s) in that faculty or department.You get to meet some lecturers, and see the library and other facilities.See the relevant course entry (P 44－117) for dates and contact the appropriate department to book a place.Subject masterclassesSubject masterclasses provide an opportunity to explore topics of interest beyond what's covered at A Level or IB Higher Level, and to experience typical undergraduate teaching at Cambridge.Each subjectspecific masterclass involves two or three taster lectures, an overview of the admissions process and chance to speak to current undergraduates.CUSU Target SchemeThe Target Scheme is a studentrun initiative by which current Cambridge undergraduates visit state schools or colleges across the country.The visits are intended to give information to Year 12 students and provide an opportunity for them to hear about the university from a current student's perspective.The Target Scheme can also offer sessions on postA Level choices for younger students.21．What can students do on department open days?A．Experience college life.B．Explore their interests.C．Tour university facilities.D．Fill in college application forms. 22．Where can you get a brief outline of the admissions process?A．IB higher level examinations.B．Subject masterclasses.C．CUSU Target Scheme.D．State schools.23．What does CUSU Target Scheme feature?A．Booking in advance.B．Visiting school library.C．Taster lectures.D．A studentrun project.BThough 3D printingtechnology has been available for over two decades，it has not gone mainstream as hoped because of the high cost and slow print speed.But that may change soon，thanks to German sportswear manufacturer Adidas.On December 15,2016，the company revealed Adidas 3D Runners，stylish sports sneakers featuring a 3D printed midsole (鞋底夹层) that provides athletes with the extra cushioning (软垫) needed for optimal performance.Unlike traditional midsoles，these are not a uniform foam (泡沫)，but weblike structures with varied density to take into account the impact areas of the foot.This means that the mesh (网眼) is thicker in the shoe's front and back，both of which hit the ground hard when the athlete runs.A3Dprinted heel，put into the midsole，eliminates the need for traditional gluing or stitching (缝合)．The shoe upper，made of Primeknit，allows for increased flexibility，stability，and protection in the impact areas.Not surprisingly，the stylish，limited edition black training shoes that were only available for sale in New York City，London，and Tokyo and cost $333，were an instant hit and sold out within hours of their release.Though not affordable or available to the mass market，the radical shoes are an encouraging step in the right direction for more widespread use of the technology.While printing 3D objects may sound complicated，the process is relatively straightforward.Once the design is downloaded to a printer，a laser creates a layer of material，usually plastic or metal.Successive layers are deposited above one another and fused together until the product is complete.The technology can be used to build everything，from shoe soles to a microwave oven.There is currently even an effort underway to make a printer that is large enough to create the cement layers required to build a house.24．3D printed midsoles are different from ordinary ones in that ________.A．they are made of uniform foamB．they are held together with glueC．the meshes are larger than ordinary onesD．they are like webs with different density25．The underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”．A．catch up with B．get related toC．be connected with D．get rid of26．From Paragraph 3 we can infer that ________.A．the shoes sold wellB．the shoes were relatively cheapC．the shoes can satisfy the need of the marketD．the company can mass produce the shoes 27．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A．What a 3D printer is.B．How a 3D printer works.C．How complicated the process is.D．What size a 3D printer is.COne thing that British and Chinese cultures share is a love for fine tea.Today，when we think of Western tea culture，we often think of the English and beautiful china tea cups.Afternoon teaPeople believe that an English lady，Anna，first introduced the idea of afternoon tea.In the 18th and 19th centuries，the English ate only two main meals each day：breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening.As a result，people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals.To solve this problem，Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o'clock.This meal included cakes and sandwiches.And tea was served to wash down the food.In order to make this afternoon meal important，fine china cups and plates and silver teapots，knives，forks and spoons were used.Soon，afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions.Today，afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.Will you come for coffee?Coffee also plays an important role in British culture.People often use “Will you come for coffee？” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat？”．Normally，several different drinks such as tea，hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange juice will be served as well as coffee，and you will be asked what you would like.However，you will not normally be offered wine at a “coffee” party.Coffeehouses and the London Stock ExchangeIn the 17th century London，coffeehouses were busy and noisyplaces.Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business，as well as to drink coffee.In fact，the London Stock Exchange (伦敦股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses.28．Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tea because she ________.A．enjoyed chatting with her friends at homeB．loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cupsC．found people felt hungry during the longwait between the two mealsD．wanted to share nice food with her friends29．If someone says to you “Will you come for coffee？”，you ________.A．will be offered coffee onlyB．will be asked what you would like to drink C．will be invited to take part in an afternoon tea partyD．will be asked to have a chat with him or her30．From the last paragraph we can see ________.A．a new business was started in coffeehouses B．coffeehouses are still used by businessmen and bankersC．businessmen and bankers went tocoffeehouses just for coffeeD．most people wouldn't like to go tocoffeehouses because of the noise 31．Which is the best title of the passage?A．British and Chinese CulturesB．English Tea and Coffee CultureC．Coffeehouses and BusinessD．The Beginning of Tea and CoffeeDSometimes we may find that every week there are a lot of new stories about how climate change is affecting the planet，or new plans to battle its effects.But the concept itself isn't new at all—in fact，scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824，when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth's temperature.Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid：As light shines through the glass，the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat.As Fourier's ideas spread，it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”．Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect.Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along did scientists understand how global warming actuallyworks.After years of work，Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2，and other gases trap radiation，which warms the atmosphere.Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect.But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet.At a lecture later that year，Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”．While Arrhenius' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry，scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950，when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it.By the end of the 1950s，American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the longterm consequences of climate change.Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect—still，maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.32．What does the underlined word “it” inParagraph 2 refer to?A．The atmosphere.B．The greenhouse effect.C．The climate change.D．The heat from the sun.33．When did the scientists find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A．In 1903. B．In 1950.C．200 years ago. D．By the end of 1950s.34．What's the author's attitude towards Arrhenius' wish?A．Positive. B．Indifferent.C．Supportive. D．Opposed. 35．What's the main idea of the text?A．Causes of climate change.B．Effects of greenhouse gases.C．Explorations on climate change. D．Findings about global warming.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It combines science fiction, horror, and coming-of-age elements in a beautiful but cruel story, which deals with the power of friendship, the pains of growing up, and self-sacrifice in the face of a cruel situation.The book centers on Tommy, Ruth, and Kathy, who tells the story. It describes their childhood at a strange boarding school called Hailsham House, where the children all have excellent medical care but a very low quality of life. The students and teachers also act very strangely. A frightening reality is revealed: The students are all “donors”—clones of other people—who were created to donate their organs once they grow up.The novel Never Let Me Go is not the only one by Sir Kazuo Ishiguro. He has also written six other novels, a number of short stories, four screenplays, and a handful of song lyrics. His moving words are highly regarded by both readers and critics. He has been nominated (提名) for the well-known Man Booker Prize four times, and he won in 1989 with his novel, The Remains of the Day. In 2017, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature.Though Ishiguro has written screenplays, he was not the one who adapted Never Let Me Go into a film. The film version was released in 2010 and still stayed true to the novel. Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, and Andrew Garfield played Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy. I was on the whole a success with critics and was well-liked at film festivals around the world. The movie version, however, could not live up to the book in the end. Although audiences generally praised the movie and the actors’ performances, the film ver sion did not reach the same level of success as the novel.4、What makes the boarding school strange?A. It is at a non-profit.B. It serves an immoral purpose.C. The students have physical problems.D. The students are all from poor families.5、What can we know about the film version of Never Let Me Go?A.

A book review.C. A children’s story.D. A diary entry.For breeding (繁殖) birds, timing is everything. Most species have just a narrow window to get the food they need to feed chicks. Now, after analyzing data that span from 1975 to 2017, a science team suggests that as the climate warms, birds are not only breeding earlier, but their breeding windows are also narrowed—some by as many as 4 to 5 days.On average, the beginnings and ends of the breeding periods are occurring earlier in the year. However, the ends are shifting back faster than the beginnings, resulting in an average breeding window that is 1.7 days shorter in 2017 than it was in 1975. During that same period, Finland’s average temperature rose by 0.8℃, suggesting many bird species are actively responding to changing temperatures, Hällfors, who led the team, says.changes,” she says. However, the shorter breeding windows mean more birds are breeding earlier in the season—a risky time for chicks’ survival, especially if the weather turns suddenly cold. In addition, because many late-season species are shifting their breeding windows up, that could mean more competition for food and nesting sites early on, leaving some chicks to go hungry.Lucyna Halupka, an ecologist at the University of Wroclaw, calls the study “a very important paper” because it’s one of the few ways to measure the breeding period duration. For 2 decades, she says, many scientists studying birds and climate change have looked only at the earliest, median (中间的), or mean laying dates for specific groups of birds. However, she reminds that because the study is limited to Finland, the findings may not apply universally; future studies should examine how breeding seasons move in other regions where the effect of climate change is different. They should also try to determine how shifting breeding windows affect population sizes, she says.8、What did the scientists find?A. The weather in Finland becomes warmer.B. It is becoming more difficult for birds to breed.C. The birds in Finland spend fewer days breeding.D. There isn’t enough food for some chicks in Finland.9、What does the underlined word “optimum” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Exact.B. Proper.C. Changeable.D. Dangerous.10、What is the significance of the study according to Lucyna?A. It is carried out in a different way.B. It is helpful for people to protect the birds.C. It opens a window for people to learn about these birds.D. It demonstrates the living situation of the birds on earth.11、What is the best title for the text?A. Scientists Revealed the Secrets of Bird s’ BreedingB. Scientists Take Steps to Protect the Birds in the WildC. Birds Play a Role in Fighting Against Global WarmingD. Birds’ Breeding Windows Are Affected by Global WarmingAfter limiting the screen time, the minors in China are prohibited against getting tattooed (文身) now.According to the guideline, which came out on June 6th, 2022, any enterprise, organization and individuals should be stopped from providing inking services. The guideline also prohibits “encouraging or forcing” children into g etting tattoos, while encouraging parents to advise their children against getting tattooed.“All agencies that provide tattooing services should clearly display signs refusing minors, and ask customers to show their IDs if it’s hard to judge their age based on their appearance,” the guideline said.Tattoo culture has gained popularity especially among the country’s youth in recent years. They regard it as a form of fashion and self expression. However, tattoos haven’t been widely accepted in the society and they might have a bad influence on people in some situations.Amanla, a tattoo artist in the southwestern Yunnan Province, said he agreed with the ban. He said, “Protection is necessary. But more deeply, it’s also disrespectful for people to do something merely to be cool without knowing what they really want or understanding the pattern being drawn on their body.”In recent years, several regions have issued local regulations banning tattoo services for children. In June of last year, a court in the eastern Jiangsu Province ordered a tattoo shop to stop tattooing minors after being accused of using ink containing harmful pigments (色素).Yuan Ningning, a legal advisor specializing in family education law, said that the working guideline has cleared up the responsibilities between different regulators and called for more education and specific punishments.“The central government has already formed a consensus (共识),” Yuan said. “But it takes a learning process among the local authorities for the guideline to be effective. That’s the first and a very crucial step.”12、What should the tattoo shops do according to the regulation?A. Refuse to serve the minors.B. Offer quality service for teenagers.C. Ask the minors’ parents for advice.D. Keep the minors safe while tattooing.13、What does paragraph 4 tell us about tattoo?A. Tattooing has a long history in China.B. The society has been influenced by tattooing.C. Young people are more interested in tattooing.D. Tattooing helps people do their work better.14、Which of the following might Amanla agree with?A. Tattoos are not for everyone.B. Tattooing for minors must be punished.C. We should learn about tattoos before getting one.D. It is not easy for the regulation to be put into practice.15、What can be inferred about the guideline?A. Those who break the rules will be punished.B. It has got wide recognition among the public.C. Educators play a key role in carrying out the rules.D. It is a long way for the guideline to make a difference.二、七选五16、When I was young, I was a terribly shy girl in regular classes.

But, 31________ she was placed in the control group rather than the treatment one that would try out the new 32________a virtual reality (VR) program for acrophobia (the medical term for a fear of heights).The ones in the treatment group--44 in all---were given five or six 30-minute sessions (时间段）of the VR treatment over the 33________ of two weeks.The results, which are being published by The Lancet Psychiatry, were significant. About 70% of the VR group no longer had a fear of heights, while, 34________ , all of the people in the control group, who received no treatment, still did.Fay has now had the same therapy herself. “Once the trial was finished, they offered it to me and I am so pleased that I said yes,” she says. “Heights don’t 35 ________me now.”The VR simulator（模拟器）made people feel like being in a safe situation where they can learn to 36________ their fear.

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.Many people around the world have seen Danny Boyle’s movie Trainspotting based on Irvine Welsh’s novel of the same name and starring Ewan McGregor, but how many of us can really claim to 41________ what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered the coolest hobby in town and the word “train-spotter”, in Britain has become similar in meaning to "geek" or "nerd (蠢货或书呆子),but is this 42________ really deserved?First of all, let’s 43________ train-spotting. There are said to be some 100,000 train-spotters in the UK. What do they do? Well, exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the serial numbers of the trains that leave and arrive and write them down. The 44________ is to have seen every train in the country.Being keen on railways and trains is not a 45________ hobby and dates back to 1804 when Richard Trevithick built the first steam locomotive, which pulled a load of ten tons of iron, 70 men and five wagons along a nine-mile stretch of track in two hours. As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow. Is this any 46________ than people who love cars?So, what do you need to be a train-spotter? Well, it’s a wonderfully 47________ pastime—all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook to write down the train numbers. The modem train-spotter may also carry binoculars(望远镜)and a video camera, but for the purists these are 48________.It’s interesting to note that despite the stigma(污名）of train-spotting, there have been famous railway 49________ in history, such as the poet WH Auden, the comedian Michael Palin and, of course, Alfred Hitchcock, who was a fan of trains and featured them regularly in his films, especially The 39 Steps. There is evidence, too, that being a train-spotter is not necessarily a(n) 50________ British hobby.One glance at the US train sites should be enough to 51________ you that transatlantic train-spotters are alive and well. In America, they try to call rail fans ‘trainfans' and talk of ‘trainfanning’.. Don’t l et this 52________you—these people are train-spotters and there are a lot of them. Each month, two million pages are visited on the website .So call them ‘nerds' or ‘geeks’, but they are here to stay and this is 53_________ not a hobby that is violent or dangerous in any way, nor does it cause any kind of damage to the environment. What do you think is healthier—sitting in front of a TV screen and 54________ those who do something that doesn’t interest you? Or going out and finding and followin g your 55 ________whatever that happens to be? I know what I think.41. A. discover B. know C. wonder D. consider42. A. occupation B. reputation C. ignorance D. practice43. A. face B. find C. discuss D. define44. A. aim B. answer C. advice D. approach45. A. special B. modem C. life-long D. personal46. A. stranger B. more interesting C. more common D. freer47. A. relaxing B. weird C. inexpensive D. unpopular48. A. relieving B. priceless C. sufficient D. unnecessary49. A. enthusiasts B. engineers C. developers D. passengers50. A. originally B. peculiarly C. inevitably D. progressively51. A. warn B. promise C. convince D. disappoint52. A. hurt B. seize C. oppose D. fool53. A. formerly B. similarly C. astonishingly D. certainly54. A. criticizing B. envying C. training D. imitating55. A. suggestion B. step C. passion D. modelSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car,and now you can boss around your appliances. Children are likely to grow up thinking everything is sentient, or at least interactive: One app developer told The Washington Post that after interacting with Amazon’s Alexa, his kid started talking to coasters. But even without chatty gadgets, research suggests that under certain circumstances, people anthropomorphize everyday products.We personify things because we’re lonely. In one experiment, people who reported feeling isolated were more likely than others to give free will and consciousness to various devices. In turn, feeling attached to objects can reduce loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they’d been excluded socially, they made up by lying about their number of friends on social networks—unless they were first given tasks that caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. The phone apparently stood in for real friends.When we personify products, they become harder to cast off. After being asked to evaluate their car's personality, people were less likely to say they intended to replace it soon. And anthropomorphizing objects is associated with a tendency to accumulate.So how do people assign characteristics to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are associated with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant-looking than narrow-faced ones, and preferred them—especially in competitive situations. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles(格栅) that were upturned like smiles and headlights that were slanted（倾斜的）like narrowed eyes sold best. The purchasers saw these features as increasing a car’s friendliness and aggressiveness, respectively. It’s little wonder so many companies use mascots（吉祥物）to bring brands to life. An analysis of 1,151 brand characters found symbols that were human or humanlike to be common.Personifying products and brands can backfire, however. When a coffee maker was anthropomorphized in an ad (“I am Aroma” versus just “Aroma”)，consumers felt betrayed by increases in its price. Now that speech-enabled coffee makers are on the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back into consumers, hearts.56. The word “anthropomorphize”（in paragraph 1) most probably means_________.A. think highly of somethingB. find a better way to rate somethingC. see something as humansD. use something as often as possible57. For the college students, the interaction with the phone served as a reminder that .A. they were not lonelyC. they needed real friendsB. the phone had human qualitiesD. the phone was not always necessary58. The writer mentions an analysis of car sales in Germany in order to_________.A. show that friendliness is better received than aggressivenessB. highlight that a symbol looking like a smile appeals more to peopleC. explain why so many companies use mascots to promote their brandsD. illustrate that people will judge something according to its appearance59. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Consumers should know more about a product before it is on the market.B. Products with a mascot are more likely to win consumers' hearts.C. Increases in a produces price may be accepted with a good ad.D. The personification of a product may not always work.(B)University Shotokan Karate ClubLearn Karate—self-defense and fitnessThe university karate club was founded in 1962. All grades from beginners to advanced are welcome. The classes are suitable for both men and women and several women have obtained their black belt.TUESDAY AND THURSDAY6.00—8.00 p.m.WEA VER HOUSE GYMFIRST LESSON FREEHardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last few years, attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will show you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase self-confidence.Far too many people think martial arts (武术) are about violence. Martial arts training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence. We learn basic etiquette, courtesy and tolerance. Good manners and consideration for others are expected at all times.Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of self-defence, health and self-development. Karate exercises the entire body. Techniques are practised on both sides of the body, therefore muscle imbalances do not occur and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the body are improved. Regular training in Karate improves the body’s physical endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves.Karate has many benefits but they do not come easily or overnight. Training requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few of you will get your black belt.60. The passage is mainly intended to_________.A. tell readers the benefits of KarateB. attract readers to join the clubC. encourage people to get their black beltD. correct people’s misunderstand of Karate61. What can be learned about University Shotokan Karate Club?A. More men than women have been its members.B. It tests members to see what level they are at.C. Members don’t need to pay for the lessons.D. It offers 4 hours of lessons every week.62. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Karate is true?A. It cultivates people’s respect for themselves as well as for others.B. It involves people’s arm muscles more than body musclesC. It makes people healthy physically instead of mentally.D. It focuses as much on self-defence as on attack.(C)In the classic novel The Day of the Triffids, giant plants terrorise humanity. Triffids can walk and are equipped with poisonous stingers, but their real power lies in their ability to communicate and so plot against us.It sounds far-fetched, but since John Wyndham’s book was published in 1951, one aspect of this fiction has proved to be science fact: plants do talk to one another. It has long been known that insects such as pollinators (传粉者）and pests can distinguish between plants by the chemicals they release. What’s new is the idea that plants use their emissions to talk among themselves. “Plants release chemicals into the atmosphere—these can be viewed as a language in the sense that a plant releasing the chemicals can be viewed as ‘speaking’ and the plant receiving them as ‘listening’ and then responding,” says chemical ecologist James Blande at the University of Eastern Finland.Now we are discovering that air pollution can disrupt these communications. In one study, Blande and his colleagues put individual bumblebees into a box containing paper flowers resembling those of black mustard (芥末). When the scientists injected the scent of real black mustard flowers that grew in either a clean or polluted atmosphere the bumblebees’ re actions were unequivocal: they were immediately attracted to the unpolluted scent, while that from polluted air left them flying around aimlessly.It’s not just the clarity of plant language that gets disrupted，the “loudness” is affected, too. To find out how much things have changed since pre-industrial times, Jose Fuentes at the University of Virginia and his colleagues made a computer model that included historic air pollution levels. It revealed that scents(气味)produced by flowers that could once be picked up kilometres away now travel as little as 200 metres.Even between clean and dirty environments today, a similar reduction in signal can be seen. Take lima beans. When one plant is attacked by spider mites, it emits chemical signals that make others nearby produce more sugary nectar. This, in turn, attracts predatory mites, which eat the attackers. If the atmosphere is clean, Blande found, the beans easily communicate with neighbours growing 70 centimetres away. But in polluted conditions, their warning cries can’t be heard more than 20 centimetres away.63. The writer mentions the novel The Day of the Triffids in order to_________.A. show how far-fetched the novel isB. introduce the topic of the passageC. warn readers of a possible dangerD. illustrate a new discovery of plants64. The word “unequivocal”（in paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to_________.A. familiarB. unpredictableC. differentD. inter-related65. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The scent of plants can’t travel in a shorter distance in polluted airB. Classic novels are usually based on some proved scientific facts.C. It was in pre-industrial times that pollution came into existence.D. Warning cries made by insects are getting softer and softer.66. What is the passage mainly about?A. Chemical signals vary with the age of plants.B. Pollinators and insects either damage or benefit plants.C. Pollution has an impact on the communication between plants.D. Plants communicate with each other by means of what they emit.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.We may have 750 friends online，but we’re lonelyMy phone and my laptop are within constant touching distance, whether Tm eating, drinking, in the shower, or watching the football. Before I get up every morning, I check my email, my texts and my Twitter feed. By the time I’ve got out of the shower, it’s time to do it again. I have a constant drip-drop of information from any of the 750 online friends and followers that I associate with. ______67______. How does a 28-year-old man get like this?______68______ In a recent survey of young people, 60 percent said they found it difficult to make friends ‘in real life’ compared with online. I’m way beyond being an awkward teen, but I am wired up most of the day, as are most of my friends. I go to parties, pubs and dinners, but I am there only in spirit. Far from bringing me closer to people, my phone drives me further away.I feel isolated. During working hours, I chatter away on social-networking sites, delaying tasks. I am in a constant state of distraction. Paradoxically（矛盾地), I no longer see the verypeople I want to see becaus e I have been ‘talking’ to them all day.Last weekend, I threw a dinner party. The moment that the food arrived, one best friend aged 26 got up to make a phone call while my other best friend, 27, sat through dinner checking Twitter for football scores. _______69_____ Social networking dominates.The terrifying thing is that none of us can go cold turkey. ______70______If you’re an alcoholic, you can avoid alcohol, but how do I avoid the internet or my phone? I need it to do my job, because my employers demand that they can contact me at any time.That's the problem with social networking. You are hardwired in, but you are always the same cool distance apart.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Is Alan Sugar a Role Model?In this paper I would like to discuss the question 4Is Alan Sugar a role model for people going into business?9 There are certainly reaso ns to answer 'yes’ or ‘no’ to this question.Alan Sugar has definitely been a successful businessman and celebrity. He left school at 16 with no qualifications and started his own business selling electrical goods out of the back of a van. He now has an estimated fortune of £830 million and is the 84th richest man in the UK. His Amstrad CPC 464 was one of the first home computers and by the end of the 1980s Amstrad had a stock market value of £1.25 billion. In the nineties and later he started buying and selling companies such as Sinclair, Betacom, Viglen and eventually sold Amstrad itself, at a profit. He was also Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. He has now become a TV celebrity with his own TV series The Apprentice', which is a reality TV show where a group of young business people try to win an important position in Alan Sugar’s company.On the other hand, Alan Sugar has, for a long time, not been very popular with many people. He has a reputation for being a rude and insensitive man. He has tr eated the contestants on ‘The Apprentice’ badly. In fact Alan Sugar is best known for saying ‘You’re fired!’ to someone in every episode. Many business people have also said that. ‘The Apprentice’ actually shows you how not to run a business, rather than how to run one. Even his business skills have been questioned. Amstrad was very unsuccessful in the nineties and many people blame Sugar personally for that failure.In conclusion, Alan Sugar is certainly not an ideal role model. However, in my opinion Alan Sugar is a role model because he started with nothing and finished a millionaire. Such a story surely has lessons for all of us.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 这次的台风与上海擦肩而过。

2024届高三英语期末模拟试题3第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)AReading has been in decline for years.One of the reasons for the decline in book sales is the leaps and bounds in technology.Why do you buy a book when you can conveniently buy audiobooks(有声读物) instead?Here are4of the best audiobooks you can find.The Power of NowPublished in2000,The Power of Now explains a journey—a journey that encourages you to dismiss your analytical(分析的)mind and set aside yourself as well.The author,Eckhart Tolle,guides you through these transitions with easy words and phrases.The purpose of this book is to help you pay more attention to the current moment—the“now”.The AlchemistIt talks about the journey of a boy named Santiago who travels from Spain to Egypt in search of riches.Along the way,he meets three characters,a woman,a man who thinks he’s a king and the alchemist(炼金术士).These characters help guide Santiago to his goal,but over time that goal changes.It moves away from worldly riches to something deeper and more meaningful.The Power of HabitWritten by Charles Duhigg,it talks all about the power behind habits using various cases and plots to present Duhigg’s points.In the book,Duhigg turns complex systems and methods into easily digestible stories that people and businesses can relate to.OutliersWritten by Malcolm Gladwell,this book has popularized the idea that practising10,000hours in total will make you an expert in that area.It also covers other aspects about what many of today’s great people do in their daily life and how they have become successful in their own field.1.Why did Eckhart Tolle write The Power of Now?A.To encourage people to travel.B.To tell people to focus on the present.C.To meet different people’s curiosity.D.To give advice to the businessman.2.What did Santiago pursue during his journey at first?A.Wealth.B.Fame.C.Wisdom.D.Friendship.3.Which of the books talks about the power of practice?A.The Power of Now.B.Outliers.C.The Power of Habit.D.The Alchemist.BI once knew a high school teacher who made,in my mind,a curious comment.Referring to a naughty student,he remarked,with a tone of gloomy resignation,“People don’t change.”I knew the kid well.He was what one would call a“juvenile delinquent(不良少年)”.But if schooling held no promise of making positive changes in kids,what was the point of teaching?My own son,Alyosha,growing up,was athletic,energetic,and occasionally hard to handle.But he never showed the least interest in tools,or working with his hands in any way.The result was that he couldn’t tell a screwdriver from a paintbrush.I recall one day,as I fussed under the car,calling out to him to bring me an adjustable wrench(活动扳手).He fetched a pair of pliers(钳子).“No,”I pleaded while trying to hold an oily car part in place.“Pliers.”He went back into the garage and returned with a bar.“No, no,”I corrected him.“The adjustable wrench!For loosening a nut.”To which,in his own defence,he exclaimed,“Well,I don’t know!”Years passed.And then,one day,well into his20s,he told me he had decided on a technical school: machinery technology.I nodded approvingly,but already knew that it was a challenging field,full of moving parts,tools,and dreaded maths.During his period in Coast Guard Technical School,I thought about him daily,wondering what the outcome would be.I had prepared myself for the phone call telling me that it was just too much and he was being sent to sea as a deckhand.It didn’t happen.The phone did ring,but it was Alyosha asking me to fly to Virginia to attend his graduation and pin his new rank on his collar.Prouder I couldn’t have been.As I stood before my son,Alyosha,standing at attention and staring dead ahead,glanced at me.“You want me to help you,Dad?”he said.“Always,”I answered,“but not this time.”Yeah,people do change.And,in my experience,it’s usually something to see.4.What’s the author’s attitude towards the teacher’s remark?A.He approves of it.B.He argues against it.C.He is interested in it.D.He is uncertain about it.5.The examples in Paragraph2are used to show Alyosha.cked team spiritB.knew little about mechanicsC.had a bad relationship with his dadD.was willing to learn any handwork6.According to the author,a technical school.A.was a correct choice for Alyosha to makeB.might satisfy Alyosha’s interest in mechanicsC.was suitable for Alyosha to attendD.would be a challenge for Alyosha7.Why was the author ready to get the phone call from his son?A.He missed his son very much.B.He had an appointment with his son.C.He expected good news about his son.D.He thought his son would quit school.CAll across the nation,in Americans’backyards and garages and living rooms,wild animals kept as pets live side by side with their human owners.It’s believed that more exotic animals live in American homes than are cared for in American zoos.The exotic pet business has drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike,who say it’s not only dangerous to bring wildlife into households but it’s cruel and criminal.Yet the issue is far from black or white.The term exotic pet has no firm definition.It can refer to any wildlife kept in human households or simply to a pet that’s more unusual than the common dog or cat.Privately owning exotic animals is currently permitted in a handful of states with no restrictions in America.Adam Roberts of Born Free USA keeps a running database of deaths and injuries caused by exotic pet ownership:In Connecticut a55-year-old woman’s face was permanently disfigured by her friend’s lifelong pet monkey;in Ohio an80-year-old man was attacked by a200-pound kangaroo;in Nebraska a34-year-old man was strangled(勒死)to death by his pet snake.And that list does not include the number of people who become sick from coming into contact with zoonotic(动物传染的)diseases.Some people see wild animals as pets as a way to connect with the natural world.Other exotic pet owners say they are motivated by a desire to preserve threatened species.They believe climate change and human population growth could wipe out a species in record time,so having a backup population is a good idea.But some groups like Born Free USA and the World Wildlife Fund say that captive breeding(圈养)of endangered species by private owners—whether for commercial,conservation,or educational reasons—serves only to continue a booming market for exotic animals.That,in turn,results in a greater risk to animals still living in their natural habitat.8.Which word can replace the phrase“far from black or white”in Paragraph1?A.Contradictory.B.Ridiculous.C.Controversial.D.Universal.9.Why does the writer list some deaths and injuries in the passage?A.To give us a clear and firm definition of exotic pets.B.To show keeping exotic animals can be very dangerous.C.To prove humans cannot be infected by animal diseases.D.To tell us it’s illegal to have exotic pet ownership in the USA.10.What’s the main idea of Paragraph3?A.The reasons for keeping exotic animals as pets.B.Worries about the endangered wild animals.C.The differences between people who keep exotic pets.D.The disadvantages of privately owning exotic animals.11.The last paragraph of the passage is intended to.A.introduce some animal protection groupsB.argue against keeping exotic animals in captivityC.warn people of the danger of animals being caughtD.prove captive breeding can encourage exotic pet businessDCars powered by batteries made from seawater and planes fueled by ammonia(氨)will become common over the next10years,Bill David,a professor of materials chemistry has predicted.Most batteries for electric cars and smartphones are powered by lithium(锂),which has to be mined, but David thinks that they will be overtaken by batteries made from sodium(钠),which can be obtained from seawater and salt.The future of air travel could also be greener thanks to biofuels.David said:“We are developing an ammonia-based plane.In principle,we can improve on an Airbus A320or a Boeing787and essentially replace jet fuel with ammonia.”David said that batteries could,at first,combine sodium and lithium,as sodium was not quite as powerful as lithium but is much more sufficient.“It’s not quite perfect in terms of performance,so we need both,”David said.“Sodium is on the way up and most electric cars have had a combination of lithium and sodium batteries in them.My estimate is that by2040I would not be surprised if there were ten times more sodium batteries than lithium ones,maybe even100times.”The first generation of mass-produced sodium batteries has been used for an electric car for the first time.Sodium will not be the final answer to eco-friendly air travel,however,which is why David’s team is looking into the use of ammonia.Some companies are looking into whether jet fuel can be replaced with hydrogen,but David sees ammonia as more sustainable.He said:“If you do the sums,then at500mph youget the same amount of power as jet fuel,but just40per cent of the range.However,even with the range hit,a787could still go from London to New York.”However,a report from the Royal Society on net-zero aviation,which David co-wrote,says that replacing jet fuel with biofuel would require half of the agricultural land in the UK.12.What is an advantage of sodium batteries?A.Their performance is easy to improve.B.Their raw material is easily accessible.C.They are widely applied to various vehicles.D.They are more powerful than other batteries.13.According to David,which is ideal for future electric cars?A.Lithium battery.B.Sodium battery.C.Hydrogen fuel.D.Ammonia fuel.14.What is Paragraph5mainly about?A.Hydrogen casts a light on jet fuel market.B.Electric car makers favour sodium batteries.C.Ammonia features sustainability and practicability.panies have mass-produced recycled batteries.15.What’s David’s attitude to replacing jet fuel with biofuel?A.Tolerant.B.Unclear.C.Cautious.D.Doubtful.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Responsibility is an admirable character that makes life better for everyone around you.It isn’t only about doing your homework or feeding the dog.16Showing responsibility isn’t always easy,but practising and making an effort will help you improve over time.Think of the consequences before speaking or acting.Bad decisions often lead to a lot of new problems.Many times,you can avoid these problems by thinking about what you’re about to do before you go through with it.Irresponsible people often make decisions without realizing how they are affecting others.17Pause and reflect on your actions to see what you can do better.Take a time out to look back on what you have said or done,especially after a difficult decision.18Consider what goes right,what goes wrong,and what you can do differently next e what you learn to become wiser and more responsible.19If you’re honest,people will believe you are a responsible person.Try to be as honest as possible.Lying leads to deeper holes in the long run,so admit when you do something wrong.This can be very tough to do at times,but it’s something you can handle when you’re a responsible person.Apologize for any mistake you make.No one is perfect,and no matter how responsible you try to be, you might mess up sometimes.20If you hurt someone,tell them you are sorry and will do better next time.A.Tell the truth to be honest with others.B.Instead of hiding your mistakes,own them.C.Find solutions for problems instead of blaming others.D.It’s also about making proper choices and doing what is right.E.By reflecting,you give yourself a chance to make better decisions.F.Avoid big lies hurting one’s feelings if you want people to trust you.G.Most decisions affect other people,so be responsible for your choices.第二部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)On January20,Nome was cut off from the rest of the world due to heavy snow.Worse still,

A group of six or seven women, Beth included, circled around the mother son pair and did something to help.Beth sang him “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”．Another offered an orange.Another gave him a toy she had on hand.Another helped get his cup out of Mom’s bag.Yet another tended to Mom by offering her a water bottle.With the help of these incredible women, the kid and his mother calmed down and were able to board the plane.
This mom was noticeably pregnant and traveling alone with her young son at aLos Angelesairport.Then things had taken a turn for the worse.
The boy, about 18 months old, was in the midst of what Beth, a Facebook user, referred to as a “total meltdown”. He was running all over the place, kicking,screaming, and flopping down (猛然躺下) on the floor, dead set on not getting aboard the plane.His mom did her best to calm him down, but, according to Beth, “she couldn’t pick him up because he was so upset.He kept running away from her, then lying down on the ground, kicking and screaming again.” Finally, the momcame to her wit’s end.She sat down on the floor next to her son, buried her face in her hands, and began to cry.

AOnce again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That’s where the similarities ended.I was tall and she was small. My thick, black hair had been recently cut short. Her natural blonde hair flowed to her waist and looked great. I was awkward and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her. I considered her my enemy. She liked me. She wanted to be friends.One day, she invited me over and I said yes—I was too shocked to answer any other way. No one had invited me over to play. But this girl who wore the latest fashions wanted me to go home with her after school.I got very surprised when she led me into an apartment building. She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister.When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies—which was my n ext surprise I would have thought she’d outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in closet, laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Burbles. That’s when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we wer e older and we both had wild imaginations.We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from smiling so much. She showed me her wardrobe, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.Paris had the whole neighborhood charmed. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was inc luded in her magic world. We slept over at each other’s houses, spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.Paris, my first real friend since childhood, taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: that your worst enemy can turn out to be your best friend.21.The writer and Paris were similar in that ________.A.they were both new studentsB.both of them were friendlyC.both of them were tallD.they were both the youngest in class22.In the article the writer described Paris as a girl who was ________.A. awkward and shyB. fashionable and proudC. quiet and lonelyD. friendly and lovely23. What did the writer learn from Paris?A. How to make best use of her neighborhood.B. How to dress and look fashionable.C. How to become a good writer.D. How to make friends.24. From the article, we can see that through her friendship with Paris, the writer________.A. found she and Paris had more similarities than differencesB. was able to fit in at her new scho ol with Paris’ helpC. was not so awkward or shy as beforeD. learned more about fashion herselfBThe following is an acceptance speech read at the 1954 Nobel Prize Award Ceremony.No writer who knows the great writers who did not receive the Nobel Prize can accept it other than with humility(谦恭). There is no need to list these writers. Everyone here may make his own list according to his knowledge.It would be impossible for me to ask the ambassador of my country, the USA, to read a speech in which a writer said all of the things which are in his heart. Things may not be immediately noticeable in what a man writes, and in this sometimes he is fortunate; but eventually they are quite clear and by these and the degree of alchemy(魔力) that he possesses he will endure or be forgotten.Writing at its best is a lonely life. Organizations for writers relieve the writer’s loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. As he removes his loneliness, often his work gets worse. For he does his work alone, and if he is a good enough writer, he must face eternity or the lack of it each day.For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond accomplishment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with good luck, he will succeed.How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.I have spoken too long for a writer. A writer should write what he has to say and not to speak it.Again I thank you.25.What does the author convey in Paragraph 2?A.He was not suitable for the prize.B.He meant to refuse the prize.C.He accepted the prize with humidity.D.He was proud to win the prize.26.According to the author, a true writer ________.A.enjoys long-lasting fameB.attempts new things in writingC.is able to relieve his lonelinessD.should always write new books27.The text was probably written by ________.A.the American ambassadorB.a Nobel Prize winnerC.an unknown writerD.a professor of public speakingCMuch meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable. It’s the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does payattention to what the other is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate(支配) you, you will feel embarrassed. A poor liar(说谎者) usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined(局限亍) to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.28.What does the second paragraph suggest?A.Looking at a stranger continuously is necessary.B.Looking at a stranger continuously is not polite.C.Something happens in our eyes.D.Strangers should avoid eye contact.29.The underlined word “gaze” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A.attractionB.attentionC.headD.eyes30.Continuous eye contact is proper between ________.A.loversB.strangersC.victimsD.liars31.What would be discussed in the following?A.The importance of eye contact.B.Eye contact should be continuous.C.Enjoying yourself in conversation.D.Eye contact in related occasions.DWhat’s in a name? Well, obviously, our general happiness. Psychologists say that what we are called has a direct connection with our happiness.Those called Judy and Joshua are the happiest, while Lynn or Ben is likely to be the unhappiest,according to research. Psychologist Dr. David Holmes found that this can cause the association that others make with the name. Hearing the name Judy may make them think of actress Judi Dench or TV presenter Judy Finnigan, and people who are considered good-natured and happy. On the other hand, people think Paulines are unhappy because of the character Pauline Fowler from the TV programme East Enders. The research claims that this association influences the person with the name and so their personality is shaped to fit it. Dr. David Holmes said, “This also has some relation with the original meaning of the name. For example, the original meaning of Judy is ‘praised’.”Certain names also work well in certain aspects of life. In the workplace Richard and Judy are the happiest, while those called Ruth and Carly are the happiest in relationships. At the other end of the scale the unhappiest workers are Stuart and Liz, with the unhappiest in relationships being Frank and Harriet.Dr. Holmes said, “The relation we have with certain names, particularly important namesakes (同名者), also shapes how we see ourselves and so may have an effect on our confidence. Names are like product brands in having a powerful effect on attitudes and should therefore be chosen with care.”“Other names are connected with being brave, outgoing or serious. Therefo re, many famous people change their names to ones which reflect these characteristics. This, in turn, influences parents when they choose names for their babies,” said Dr. Holmes, “while names connected with ordinary people are rarely chosen for their babi es.”32.What’s the main idea of this passage?A.Choosing a good name for babies.B.Having a name connected with famous people.C.The relationship between names and happiness.D.The relationship between names and jobs.33.According to the passage, which of the following names are better?A.Ruth and Joshua.B.Pauline and Frank.C.Richard and Stuart.D.Joshua and Ben.34.What can we learn from a person’s name?A.Confidence.B.Income.C.Status.D.Personality.35.How does the author mainly develop the passage?A.By analyzing East Enders.B.By telling the history of names.C.By presenting examples.D.By comparing names with brands.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

英语（满分150分，考试时间120分钟）第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AForty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance. I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer on the paper route in my hometown when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it exists in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness which I shall never forget.On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady's house. The object of our play was to observe how the stones changed to missiles as they rolled to the edge of the roof. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady's back porch. At the sound of crashed glass, we knew we were in trouble and ran away.I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence.I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars to cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.I waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old lady's house, and put the letter I didn't sign through the letter slot in her door. Once again, I could have the freedom of looking straight into the old lady's kind eyes.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself.Reaching for the cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was surprised. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, "I'm proud of you!"21. Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?A. The author was a newsboy when he was 12 years old.B. The old lady didn't know who broke the window.C. The author felt guilty of breaking the old lady's window.D. The story happened forty-three years ago.22. The underlined words "snuck up" in the fifth paragraph probably means "______."A. went quietlyB. quickly made my wayC. stole something of no valueD. searched in a secret way23. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A Bag of CookiesB. A Broken WindowC. The Secret in the CookiesD. A Painful Lesson24. _____ probably impressed the author of the passage most.A. The cookies made by the ladyB. The note inside the cookie bagC. The broken windowD. The lady's forgivenessBCan music help you concentrate (集中精力) at work? A new study by the researchers at the University of Wales Institute (the UWI) has some interesting results.The subjects in the study were tested under three different conditions: in a quiet environment; while listening to music they liked; and while listening to music they didn't like. The subjects generally did better when they were working in silence. The background music seemed to make memorization and recall more difficult. However, scientists also found that listening to music before doing the tests seemed to help concentration.“Despite describing their self-selected music as more pleasant, their performance was poor, just as it was when they listened to music they disliked,” explained one of the researchers. So, even if you're listening to music you like, it'll still disturb your work.This would appear to contradict the findings of scientists who have researched what was popularly known as the “Mozart Effect”. This concept was invented by French scientist Dr. Alfred A. Tomatitis in 1991. Tomatitis published a book Why Mozart? which described what he believed were the healing (愈合)powers of listening to Mozart's music.He also suggested that Mozart's music might help the brain to develop. This led to a popular belief that listening to classical music could increase a child's IQ. In fact, it was so widely believed at one time that the governor of the state of Georgia (in the USA) suggested spending over 100 000 dollars a year to provide classical CDs for every child born in the state!The new study seems to further contradict the idea that music could help with concentration. As part of this research, university students were asked about their study habits. The researchers found that the majority of students prefer to work without music. So, if you're studying for an exam, turn off that iPod!25.If you hope to focus on your study, you'd better________.A. enjoy some popular rock ‘n’ roll musicB. listen to music you like while studyingC. listen to music before you begin to studyD. choose classical music as background music26.The concept invented by Dr. Alfted A. Tomatitis________.A. encourages people to protect themselves from being hurtB. helps further prove the findings of the researchers at the UWIC. made the leader of the state of Georgia provide modern CDs for every childD. made people believe listening to classical music could make a child cleverer27.The disadvantage of listening to music while you are studying is that________.A. you become quieterB. your intelligence is loweredC. music prevents your brain developingD. music makes it hard to learn something by heart28.What's the author's attitude to listening to music while you are working?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. SubjectiveD. Casual.CI live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate (使相等) happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more long-lasting emotion. Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, and everything that spells "happiness". But in memoir (回忆录) after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, long-time loneliness.The way people hold on to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually decreases their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More often than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors or efforts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, charitable work, and self-improvement.29. According to the passage, "fun activities" mentioned in the 2nd paragraph _____.A. are the things we do before we find happinessB. may help us relax and forget our problems sometimesC. will lead us to the true happinessD. could provide long-lasting positive effects30. In the author's opinion, those Hollywood stars _____.A .possess happiness because they are rich and famousB. experience almost all kinds of happy thingsC. tell us happiness isn't equal to fun using their own storiesD. have to suffer a lot before they become successful31. It is difficult for people to find real happiness because _____.A. they believe happiness is the fun life without painB. they find pain equals unhappinessC. they fear to lose what they already have in lifeD. they are afraid all their efforts were in vain32. The main purpose of the text is to _____.A. describe the difference between happiness and funB. show the true meaning of happinessC. encourage people to pursue fun activitiesD. advise people to find their real lifeDEragon: Benina the Scenes of the New MovieEragon is just a regular farm boy in a land called Alagaesia----until he finds a dragon's egg.In the new movie Eragon, based on the book by Christopher Paolini, evil strangers working for an evil king come looking for the egg and kill Eragon's family. With the help of dwarfs, and Saphira the dragon, Eragon must learn how to defeat the king and save his land.Designer DragonAnimators (动漫画家) couldn't exactly model Saphira after a real dragon. So they got inspiration from animals. Michael McAlister says when Saphira is on the ground, she walks a little like a lion. In the air, she's a cross between a condor (秃鹰) and a fighter jet. And her eyes are part lizard, part dinosaur, and part human.Success StoryAuthor Christopher Paolini started writing Eragon when he was 15 years old. Now 23, Paolini gives you tips to achieve your dreams before you grow up!----Research First"Learn about what you want to do," Paolini says. He read books about creating characters and plots before he started writing.----Get SupportPaolini kept his writing a secret from everyone but his parents. That way, no one could tell him he was too young to be an author. "Find people who will support and encourage you," he says.----PracticeWhether they're writers, musicians or athletes, successful kids put lots of energy into their talent. "To rise to the top, make your skill your daily focus," Paolini says.----Don't Quit"So many times when I was writing Eragon, I was an inch away from giving up," he says, "I'm so glad I didn't." Instead, he spent three and a half years writing and rewriting until it was ready for publication.33. The movie Eragon is about _____.A. the true friendship between a farm boy and some animalsB. the struggle between a farm boy and some bad peopleC. a boy's interesting experienceD. an imaginary story between a farm family and a king34.

They created a machine called an electrolyzer. It can separate salty water into oxygen and hydrogen gases.The team described the process in a study recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Scientists have already collected solid evidence suggesting Mars once had huge amounts of water and (22) ______the planet likely holds a large supply today. But Mars is extremely cold. So, most of the water is thought to exist in the form of ice.The research team notes that any water that is not frozen is almost surely full of salt from the Martian soil. The usual methods for breaking water down into oxygen require the salt (23) ______(remove) first. This process can be complex, costly and harmful to the environment. The new method they invented (24) ______take salty water directly and convert it into oxygen and hydrogen.The team carried out experiments with high levels of magnesium salts, which scientists believe likely (25) ______(exist) on Mars. The researchers also carried out the tests at temperatures similar to the Red Planet's atmosphere.The U.S. space agency NASA has also experimented with technologies to produce oxygen on Mars. One device (26) ______(design) to do this will be tested as part of NASA's Perseverance mission. Perseverance is a new explorer vehicle, or rover, that is currently on its way to Mars.The engineering team said its method could even find valuable uses on Earth. "(27) ______ (demonstrate) these electrolyzers under demanding Martian conditions, we intend to also use them under (28) ______(mild) conditions on Earth," said Pralay Gayen, who is a postdoctoral researcher at Washington University and a lead writer of the study. "(29) ______ such use could be in defense industries, he added, "the method could create oxygen on demand for submarines.It may also be able to provide oxygen for researchers (30) ______(explore) new environments in the deep sea."Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Chef such as Delia Smith, Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay made the public realize that cooking and eating didn't have to be a boring thing. "It's no longer the case that the common man in England is (35) ______ to show he knows about food,“Tomes says.There was plenty of room for improvement. The problems with the nation's cuisine can be (36) ______ back to the Second World War. Before the war, much of Britain's food was imported and when German U-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on rations (配给)."As rationing came to an end in the 1950s, technology picked up and was used to (37) ______ food," Tomes says. "And by then people were just happy to have a decent quantity of food in their kitchens.They weren't looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this (38) ______ for quantity to quality was popular for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn't (39) ______ with neighboring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain.Before star chefs such as Oliver began making cooking fashionable, it was hard to find a restaurant in London that was open after 9 p.m. But in recent years the capital's culincvy (烹饪的)scene has developed to the point that it is now confident of its ability to (40)______ the tastes of any international visitor.III. Reading Comprehension ( 45 分)Section A (每题1分，共15分)Directions: 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.There are many differences between American homes and traditional Chinese homes. Let's begin with the houses themselves. An American house usually has a yard, large or small. It mayhave a hedge (树篱),(41) ______ rarely is there a wall so high that a passer-by cannot see the windows. Usually the interior is shielded from exterior view only by window curtains or blinds.However, the image of a traditional Chinese house is one within four high walls. This is still (42) ______ in many places in the north of China today. The walls are often so high that only the roofs are (43) ______ from the outside. Solid gates separate the interior grounds from the outside world. In addition, there is usually a wall placed directly in front of the gates. It is believed that this shadow wall keeps the home from direct exposure to the unseen spirits when the gates are open.Inside the home, the contrast between China and America is (44) ______ . The emphasis within an American home is on (45)______ . There are not only doors to the bathrooms but also to the bedrooms, and often to the living room and even the kitchen. Space and possessions are (46) ______ . Parents have little liberty in the rooms of the children, and children cannot do what they want in those parts of the house regarded as pre-eminently their parents’ domain. In some American families, this rule of privacy (47)______ even to the husband and wife, so that each has a separate bedroom.Within the Chinese home, (48)______ , privacy hardly exists at all, except between members of opposite sexes who are not husband and wife. Chinese children, even in homes that have enough room, often share the same rooms with their parents until they reach adolescence. Not only do parents have freedom of action with the children's (49)______ , but the youngsters can also use the possessions of the parents if they can get their hands on them. If children damage their parents' possessions they are scolded, not because they touched things that were not theirs but because they are too young to handle them with proper care.The (50) ______ of privacy within the Chinese home finds its extreme expression in many well-to-do families of North China. Here the rooms are arranged in rows like the cars of a train. But instead of each room having a separate entrance, all the rooms are arranged in sequence, one leading into another. Thus, if there are five rooms, the front door of the house opens into the center room, which serves as the kitchen and dining room. There are two doors on opposite walls of the kitchen, each leading into a room which has (51)______ another door opening into the end rooms. Actual arrangements vary somewhat from family to family, but this simplified picture is (52) ______ true.Such an arrangement in living quarters would be very (53) ______ to Americans. But many Chinese adhere (坚守)a variation of the common linear arrangement even when they have more rooms and space in which to spread out. For in traditional Chinese culture the space within the four walls was considered as being one body. The American child's (54) ______ environment establishes strong lines of individual distinction within the home, but there is very little stress on separation of the home from the external world. The Chinese child's environment is exactly the opposite. He finds a home with (55) ______ cutting lines within it but separated by high walls and the strong gates from the outside world.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)Over the past several decades, the U.S., Canada and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with "nonhuman creatures”, such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual phenomena in countries such as Peru.The Nazca "lines" of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate (精美的)pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet 一meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by E.T.(外星人)as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to laugh at and abandon von Daniken's theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the internet. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America's past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms. Will the internet help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.56.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?tin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena.B.Public attention is now directed towards countries like Peru.C.Public interest usually focuses on North America and Europe.D.Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.57.We can infer from the passage that, within a certain range, the higher up the lines are seen from, _______the images they present.A.the smallerB. the largerC. the clearerD. the brighter58.There has been increasing interest in the Nazca lines mainly because of _______.A.the participation of scientistsB. the emergence of the internetC. the birth of new theoriesD. the interest in the internet59.The author is ______about the role of the internet in solving mysteries.B. pessimisticC. uncertainD. optimistic(B)The BridgeClimbThe iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge is one of the world's longest steel-arch bridges, spanning an impressive 500 metres and standing proud above the sparkling Sydney Harbour.

C, $1,442. D. $1,332.(C)After World War II the glorification of an ever-larger GNP formed the basis of a new materialism, which became a holy obligation for all Japanese governments, businesses and trade unions. Anyone who mentioned the undesirable by-products of rapid economic growth was treated as a heretic (异教徒).Consequently, everything possible was done to make conditions easy for the manufacturers. Few dared to question the wisdom of dumping untreated waste into the nearest water body or untreated smoke into the atmosphere. This silence was maintained by union leaders as well as by most of the country’s radicals (激进分子)；except for a few isolated voices, no one protested. An insistence on treatment of the various effluents, or liquid waste, would have resulted in expenditures on treatment equipment that in turn would have given rise to higher operating costs. Obviously, this would have meant higher prices for Japanese goods, and ultimately fewer sales and lower industrial growth and GNP.The pursuit of nothing but economic growth is illustrated by the response of the Japanese government to the American educational mission that visited Japan in 1947. After surveying Japan's educational program, the Americans suggested that the Japanese fill in their curriculum gap by creating departments in chemical and sanitary engineering. Immediately, chemical engineering departments were established in all of the country's universities and technical institutions. In contrast, the recommendation to form sanitary engineering departments was more or less ignored, because they could bring no profit. By 1960, only two second-rate universities, Kyoto and Hokkaido, were interested enough to open such departments.The reluctance to switch funds from production to conservation is explanation enough for a certain degree of pollution, but the situation was made worse by the type of technology the Japanese chose to adopt for their industrial expansion. For the most part, they simply copied American industrial methods. This meant that methods originally designed for use in a country that stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific with lots of air and water to use as sewage receptacles (下水道)were adopted for an area a fraction of the size. Moreover, the Japanese diet was much more dependent on water as a source of fish and as an input in the irrigation of rice; consequently discharged wastes built up much more rapidly in the food chain.63.Which of the following words is closest in meaning to "glorification" (Para. 1)?A. worshipB. objectionC. criticismD. ignorance64 According to the passage, there were no measures in environmental protection after World War II in Japan because______.A.they were regarded as unnecessaryB.no one was much interested in themC.pollution was held as inevitable at that timeD.they would hold back economic development65.According to the logical clue of the passage, the second paragraph is an example to show that ______.A.Japan was markedly influenced by the U.S. in educationcation in Japan was not so developed as that in the U.S.C.the Japanese government concerned itself only about economic gainsD.Japanese educational institutions were much the same as those in the U.S.66.Which of the following is not a reason for the rapidity and intensity of pollution in Japan?A.The Japanese diet increased the waste in their food chain.B.The Japanese industrial revolution was generally modeled on that of America.C.No sanitary engineering departments were set up in higher institutions in Japan.D.Japan was unwilling to provide funds for the solution of environmental problems.Section C ( 8 分)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.How good are you at saying "no”? For many, ifs surprisingly difficult. (67) ______ Consider these scenarios:It's late in the day. That front-page package you've been working on is nearly complete; one last edit and it's finished. Then enter the executive editor, who makes a suggestion requiring a more-than-modest rearrangement of the design and the addition of an information box. You want to scream: "No! It's done!" What do you do?The first rule of saying no to the boss is "don't say no." (68) ______The second rule is "don't raise the stakes by challenging his authority." That issue is already decided. The third rule is "to be ready to cite options and consequences.The boss's suggestions might be appropriate, but there are always consequences. He might not know about the pages backing up that need attention, or about the designer who had to go home sick. Tell him he can have what he wants, but explain the consequences. Understand what he's trying to accomplish and propose a Plan B that will make ithappen without destroying what you've done so far.Here's another case. Your least-favorite reporter suggests a dumb story idea. (69) ______If you say no, even politely, you risk inhibiting further ideas, not just from that reporter, but from others who heard that you turned down the idea. This scenario is common in newsrooms that lack a systematic way to filter story suggestions.Two steps are necessary. First, you need a system for how stories are proposed and reviewed. Reporters can tolerate rejection of their ideas if they believe they were given a fair hearing. Your gut reaction and dismissive rejection, even of a worthless idea, might not qualify as systematic or fair.Second, the people you work with need to negotiate a "What if...?" agreement covering “What if my idea is turned down?”How are people expected to react? Is there an appeal process? Can they refine the idea and resubmit it? (70) ______.第II卷（共50分）IV. Summary Writing （10 分）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71.Things to Do After You StudyMany students study with little thought about what comes after their study session. But what you do after studying could have an effect on how well you learn and remember new information. Actually, there are two no-cost ways that can help you improve your learning: wakeful rest and sleep.When many students finish studying, they often go straight to another activity. Perhaps they look at their phone or computer. They might even play a video game or watch television. But research suggests that resting after you study may help you remember what you studied.The basic idea is this: by reducing your activity after the study session, your brain gets a chance to rest. Resting is difficult when you have too much stimulation from electronic devices, games, lights and so on. Many studies have explored the benefits of resting after learning 一what is called "wakeful rest." A 2019 study found that both young and older adults were able to better remember, or recollect, information from prose passages after doing wakeful rest. The findings appeared in Neuroscience Letters. If you want to give "wakeful rest" a try, here are a few simple things to do: Rest quietly for five to ten minutes. Do not look at your phone, read stories or play games. Just limit the amount of stimulation you get. It is really that easy!In addition to wakeful rest, sleep is also important for learning. The Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School notes that sleep helps people to learn. A report on the school's website explains that "a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently." It also says, "sleep itself has a role in the consolidation （巩固）of memory, which is essential for learning new information.Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information. Try to get some "wakeful rest" afte r a study session. Then try to get a good night’s sleep. That's it-- a simple, no-cost way to help you remember what you learn.V.Translation （3+3+4+5,共15 分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.对父母来说，最重要的是孩子每天平安归来。
