AFAQs on preparing your ApplicationQ：Should I target my Application to a specific Job Opening（JO）？A：Yes.Naturally，a customized cover note will also help you focus on the key aspects of your Application that relate to the JO，but it is also in your interest to target the Application according to the responsibilities and competencies of the position.Q：What's the difference between duties and achievements？A：Duties describe the specific responsibilities of your job.They accurately reflect what you are doing or have done in each of your previous jobs.In other words，it is the "what you do" of your job.Achievements describe in specific terms "how well" you did in your job.Q：Many of my achievements are team﹣based，how do I draft them in my Application？A：You should include your team﹣based achievements in your Application.Indicate that you were part of a team，and describe your specific role in reaching the goal.FAQs on general Application guidelinesQ：Can I save my Application？A：Yes.You should save your Application when you make changes and/or update it.It is recommended that you save different versions of your Application in Word format and then edit the Application online according to the post for which you are applying.Q：Can I update my Application to apply for a new JO？A：Yes.Each time you apply for a new JO，we recommend that you review your Application and update it，if appropriate，or target it to better reflect your suitability for the new JO.Your updates will not affect the content of Applications previously submitted against other JOs.Q：Must I use up all the available characters in each section of my Application？A：No.In fact，doing so may result in an unnecessary lengthy Application.Unless you have an enormous range of experiences，there is no reason to use up all the space given.Applicants are encouraged to list their duties and achievements in a clear and brief manner.21.Which of the following descriptions best shows your achievements？A.I succeeded in directing a video presentation，assisting our group to win the first prize.B.I'm good at creating proposals for new product ideas aimed at a specific market.C.I'm in charge of the clearance，production and distribution of information material.D.I've developed various interests，ranging from oil painting to designing model.22.Unless you are eager to apply for erstwhile JO，you'd better .A.target your focus on your interest in the JOB.save your latest application in Word formatC.prepare one application with all your competenciesD.update your application to match new requirements23.Applicants are expected to in their applications.A.introduce what JOs they have previously applied toB.list the greatest achievements they have made in detailC.give key information about their experiences and achievementsD.provide the results of their tests，assessments and examinationsBNew York’s UndersideA dangerous jobSince I was a boy, I have always looked down open manholes with curiosity, so I welcomed the opportunity to explore and write about the world beneath New York City. With a group of 11 "sandhogs" —— the nickname for the workers who build New York's underground—— boarded a slow, shaky elevator lit by a single light bulb. Slowly we went down a shaft du g through 200 meters of rock. The sandhogs were building a new tunnel to bring water into the city, The present tunnel system carries more than 5.6 billion liters of water every day. That's enough water to fill more than2,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools.As we descended, it got dark and the air got cool. I looked up into darkness and down into deeper blackness, then the elevator stopped, and everyone got out. Then came the hard part, climbing another 10 meters down a long, slippery metal ladder. At the bottom was a dark tunnel filled with dust and smoke. Sandhogs were using explosives like dynamite to cut through the solid rock. The tunnel extends slowly- -only four meters a day- -and with each day come new dangers. Sandhogs live in constant fear of being hurt by sharp pieces of exploded rock. Their bodies are covered in such scars."Why do this work?" I asked Brian Gallagher, a sandhog for 16 years. Brian's father was a sandhog, too, but it is not tradition that brought him here. "It's the money," he said. An experienced sandhog earns over $100,000 a year. The rewards are well deserved. A sandhog's chances of dying on the job are far greater than those of an above- ground construction wo rker, or even a New York City police officer.“Everything down here can kill you," one sandhog said. They know many more workers will die before the tunnel is completed.A river of sewageOn another trip below the city, sewer worker Jeff Kwami showed me how the city's sewage is kept flowing smoothly. We went down a manhole wearing plastic bodysuits, gloves, and tanks of air. Everything around us was wet and slippery, as we climbed carefully down 12 meters and then stopped on a narrow concrete step. In front of me was a fast-moving river of sewage nearly two meters wide. It smelled awful. I asked Kwami, "What happens if you fall in and you're not attached to a rope?" He said if you didn't pull yourself out, you'd drown in the sewage. But unlike the dangers sandhogs face, such situations are rare. As we move through the sewer, Kwami seems calm and confident, but it's still a terrifying thought.Later, as we left the darkness and danger below, Kwami joked, "See any alligators?" Over the years, there have been stories about giant alligators living in the sewers. I tell Kwami that in 1935, the New York Times reported an alligator was pulled from a sewer. He still didn't believe it, and we laugh together as we climb back to the surface.24.The writer of the passage is .A.considering getting a job as a tunnel workerB.taking tourists into New York City’s tunnelsC.interested in what lies beneath New York CityD.reporting on the benefits of working underground.25.What danger that underground workers face is NOT mentioned?A.slippingB.being cut by rockC.drowningD.elevators falling26.Sewer workers probably carry tanks of air because .A.the smell of the sewage is badB.the tunnel is filled with smokeC.they have to dive into the sewageD.they need to clean the air in the sewer27.What would be the best heading for the last paragraph?A.Recent Alligator SightingB.The 80-Year-Old AlligatorC.How to Survive SewageD.Just a Story?CHARDCORE TANO*C is an independent Japanese music label that is known for releasing music compilations and albums focused on various forms of hardcore techno such as UK hardcore,happy hardcore,and gabber. The label was founded in 2003 by Yoshikazu Nagai（who at the time used the Akai Hito alias）,originally under the name of Hardcore Tanoshii,but changed to its current name of HARDCORE TANO*C in 2007 after the release of the album HARDCORE SYNDROME. The label features a store which sells the most notable doujin（同人）music releases,and is well known for their frequent live events that are regularly organized throughout the years,including the annual TANO*C TOUR series of events and the S2TBTANO*C events done in collaboration with kors k’s S2TB Recording label.From 2011 to 2018,HARDCORE TANO*C were very closely linked with BEMANI,most notably in beatmania IIDX and SOUND VOLTEX. Many of HARDCORE TANO*C’s members were frequent contributors to BEMANI,and KONAMI even collaborated with the label for a few of their own album releases. Their presence also expanded to various other music game titles.Many guest artists have appeared in HARDCORE TANO*C compilations, including Ryu☆,kors k,DJ Shimamura,m1dy,M-Project,JAKAZiD（as Joshka）,Hommarju,Camellia,lapix,C-Show,Maozon,Nhato, Dustvoxx,and Akira Complex.By the end of 2017,HARDCORE TANO*C has started to produce major artist album releases,containing licensed works done for music games by the circle’s artists. From September 2018,a sub-label directed by DJ Myosuke named HARDCORE TANO*C HARD has been established, which focuses on harsher music. HARDCORE TANO*C is also heavily involved in the 2019 rhythm game WACCA,which is published by MARVELOUS！,with nearly its entire staff contributing to the game.A song composed by various members of HARDCORE TANO*C,BATTLE NO.1,was planned to be in SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN for the The 8th KONAMI Arcade Championship,under the artist name of TANO*C SOUND TEAM. KONAMI rejected the song（likely due to their poking fun（打趣）of the BEMANI Sound Team moniker, which was at its most extreme in the time of that event）,and it later appeared instead in the HARDCORE TANO*C-produced game WACCA on August 1st,2019. It also appeared in lowiro’s Arcaea as part of the Arcaea× HARDCORE TANO*C Collaboration（联动）and SEGA’s maimai でらっくすSplash. It was added to Muse Dash on February 5,2021.28．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph？A．Some basic information about HARDCORE TANO*C.B．The founder and members of HARDCORE TANO*C.C．The relationship between Yoshikazu Nagai and HARDCORE TANO*C.D．The relationship between BEMANI and HARDCORE TANO*C.29．Among the following members, who has NOT shown up in this music label ‘s compilations？A．Camellia. B．Laur. C．Maozon. D．Akira Complex.30．What can we know about the rhythm game WACCA？A．It was produced by HARDCORE TANO*C last year.B．None of MARVELOUS！’s employees is working for it.C．The song BATTLE NO.1 was included in this game.D．It had a collaboration with Muse Dash in Feb.,2021.31．Arcaea has collaborated with both HARDCORE TANO*C and WACCA. As a player of Arcaea,what should you do？A．Try playing WACCA if possible.B．Spread bad comments about HARDCORE TANO*C.C．Only cheer for the game or the artist you like.D．Ask the official staff about the song selection petulantly.DMost managers can identify the major trends of the day. But in the course of conducting research in a number of industries and working directly with companies, we have discovered that managers often fail to recognize the less obvious but profound ways these trends are influencing consumers aspirations, attitudes, and behaviors. This is especially true of trends that managers view as peripheral to their core markets Experts from Harvard Business School give some advice to managersOne strategy, known as infuse and augment, is to design a product or service that keeps most of the attributes and functions of existing products in the category but adds others that address the needs and desires unleashed by a major trend. A case in point is the Poppy range of handbags, which the firm Coach created in response to the economic downturn of 2008. The Coach brand had been a symbol of wealth and luxury for nearly 70 years, and the most obvious reaction to the downturn would have been to lower prices, However that would have risked cheapening the brand's image.Instead, they initiated consumer-research project which revealed that customers were eager to lift themselves and the country out of tough times. Using these insights, Coach launched the lower-priced Poppy handbags, which were in bright colors.and looked more youthful and playful than conventional Coach products. Creating the sub-brand allowed Coach to avoid an across-the-board price cut. In contrast to the many companies that responded to the recession by cutting prices, Coach saw the new consumer mindset as an opportunity for innovation and renewal.A more radical strategy is 'combine and transcend'. This involves combining aspects of the product's existingvalue proposition with attributes addressing changes arising from a trend. To create a novel experience - one that may land the company in an entirely new market space. At first glance, spending resources to incorporate elements of a seemingly irrelevant trend into one's core offerings sounds like it's hardly worthwhile. But consider Nike's move to integrate the digital revolution into its reputation for high-performance athletic footwear. In 2006,they teamed up with technology company Apple to launch Nike+, a digital sports kit comprising a sensor that attaches to the running shoe and a wireless receiver that connects to the user's iPad.By combining Nike's original value proposition for amateur athletes with one for digital consumers, the Nike+ sports kit and web interface moved the company from a focus on athletic apparel to a new plane of engagement with its customer.Once you have gained perspective on how trend-related changes in consumer opinions and behaviors impact on your category, you can determine which of our innovation strategies to pursue. Trends -- technological, economic, environmental, social, or political -- that affect how people perceive the world around them and shape what they expect from products and services present firms with unique opportunities for growth.32.The underlined word “peripheral”in Para graph 1 is closest in meaning to_____.A.marginalB.importantC.subjectD.relevant33.According to the second paragraph, Coach was anxious to_____.A.follow what some of its competitors were doing.B.maintain its prices throughout its range.C. safeguard its reputation as a manufacturer of luxury goods.D modify the entire look of its brand to suit the economic climate.34.What does the writer suggest about Nike's strategy?A.It was an extremely risky strategy at the time.B, it was a strategy that only a major company could afford to follow.C. It was the type of strategy that would not have been possible in the past.D It was the kind of strategy that might appear to have few obvious benefits.35.The best title for the passage is probably_____.A.Knowing more about your customers.B.Making the most of trendsC.Eyes on strategiesD.Following the advice第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

learning is the international passport to successa) picture yourself at a college graduation day, with a fresh cohort(一群) of students about to set sail for new horizons. what are they thinking while they throw their caps in the air? what is it with this thin sheet of paperthat makes it so precious? it’s not only the proof of acquired knowledge but plays into the reputation game of where you were trained. being a graduatefrom harvard law school carries that extra glamour, doesn’t it? yet take a closer look, and the diploma is the perfect ending to the modern tragedy of education.b) why? because universities and curricula are designed along the three unities of french classical tragedy: time, action, and place. students meet at the university campus (unity of place) for classes (unity of action) duringtheir 20s (unity of time). this classical model has traditionally produced prestigious universities, but it is now challenged by the digitalisation of society—which allows everybody who is connected to the internet to access learning—and by the need to acquire skills in step with a fast-changing world. u niversities must realise that learning in your 20s won’t be enough. if technological diffusion and implementation develop faster, workers will haveto constantly refresh their skills.c) the university model needs to evolve. it must equip students with the right skills and knowledge to compete in a world ‘where value will be derived largely from human interaction and the ability to invent and interpret things that machines cannot’, as the english futurist richard watson puts it. by teaching foundational knowledge and up-to-date skills, universities willprovide students with the future-proof skills of lifelong learning, not justget them ‘job-ready’.d) some universities already play a critical role in lifelong learning as they want to keep the value of their diplomas. this new role comes with a huge set of challenges, and needs largely to be invented. one way to start this transformation process could be to go beyond the ‘five-year diploma model’to adapt curricula to lifelong learning. we call this model the lifelong passport.e) the bachelor’s degree could be your passport to lifelong learning. for the first few years, students would ‘learn to learn’and get endowed with reasoning skills that remain with them for the rest of their lives. for instance, physics allows you to observe and rationalise the world, but also to integrate observations into models and, sometimes, models into theories orlaws that can be used to make predictions. mathematics is the language used to formulate the laws of physics or economy, and to make rigorous computations that turn into predictions. these two disciplines naturally form the foundational pillars of education in technical universities.f) recent advances in computational methods and data science push us into rethinking science and engineering. computers increasingly become principal actors in leveraging data to formulate questions,which requires radically new ways of reasoning. therefore, a new discipline blending computer science, programming, statistics and machine learning should be added to thetraditional foundational topics of mathematics and physics. these threepillars would allow you to keep learning complex technical subjects all your life because numeracy(计算) is the foundation upon which everything else is eventually built.g) according to this new model, the master of science (msc) would become the first stamp in the lifelong learning journey. the msc curriculum should prepare students for their professional career by allowing them to focus on acquiring practical skills through projects.h) those projects are then interwoven with fast-paced technical modules(模块)learned ‘on-the-fly’and ‘at will’ depending on the nature of the project. if, for instance, your project is developing an integrated circuit, you will have to take a module on advanced concepts in microelectronics. the most critical skills will be developed before the project even starts, in the form of boot camps (短期强化训练), while the rest can be fostered along with the project, putting them to immediate use and thus providing a rich learning context.i) in addition to technical capabilities, the very nature of projects develops social and entrepreneurial skills, such as design thinking,initiative taking, team leading, activity reporting or resource planning. not only will those skills be actually integrated into the curriculum but theywill be very important to have in the future because they are difficult to automate.j) after the msc diploma is earned, there would be many more stamps of lifelong learning over the years. if universities decide to engage in this learning model, they will have to cope with many organisational challengesthat might shake their unity of place and action. first, the number of students would be unpredic table. if all of a university’s alumni (往届毕业生)were to become students again, the student body would be much bigger than itis now, and it could become unsustainable for the campus in terms of both size and resources. second, freshly graduated students would mix withprofessionally experienced ones. this would change the classroom dynamics, perhaps for the best. project-based learning with a mixed team reflects the reality of the professional world and could therefore be a better preparation for it.k) sound like science fiction? in many countries, part-time studying is not exceptional: on average across oecd countries, part-time students in represented 20 per cent of enrolment in tertiary education. in many countries, this share is higher and can exceed 40 per cent in australia, new zealand and sweden.l) if lifelong learning were to become a priority and the new norm, diplomas, just like passports, could be revalidated periodically. a time-determined revalidation would ease administration for everybody. universities as well as employers and employees would know when they have to retrain. for instance, graduates from the year would have to come back in .m) this could fix the main organisational challenges for the university, but not for the learners, due to lack of time, family obligations or funds. here, online learning might be an option because it allows you to save your‘travel time’, but it has its limits. so far, none of the major employers associated with online learning platforms such as coursera and udacity has committed to hire or even interview graduates of their new online programmes.n) even if time were not an issue, who will pay for lifelong learning? that’s the eternal debate: should it be the learner’s responsibility, that of his employer, or of the state? for example, in massachusetts, the healthcare professions require continuing education credits, which are carefully evidenced and documented. yet the same state’s lawyers don’t require continuing legal education, although most lawyers do participate in it informally. one explanation is that technology is less of a factor in law than it is in healthcare.o) europe has many scenarios, but the french and swiss ones areinteresting to compare. in france, every individual has a right to lifelong learning organised via a personal learning account that is credited as you work. in switzerland, lifelong learning is a personal responsibility and not agovernment one. however, employers and the state encourage continuing education either by funding parts of it or by allowing employees to attend it.p) universities have a fundamental role to play in this journey, andhigher education is in for a change. just like classical theatre, the old university model produced talent and value for society. we are not advocating its abolition but rather calling for the adaptation of its characteristics to meet the needs of today.36. students should develop the key skills before they start a project.37. by acquiring reasoning skills in the first few years of college, students can lay a foundation for lifelong learning.38. the easy access to learning and rapid technological changes have brought the traditional model of education under challenge.39. unbelievable as it may seem, part-time students constitute a considerable portion of the student body in many universities across the world.40. some social and managerial skills, which are not easily automated,will be of great importance t o students’future careers.41. a new model of college education should provide students with the knowledge and skills that will make them more inventive and capable oflifelong learning.42. a mixed student body may change the classroom dynamics and benefit learning.43. the question of who will bear the cost of lifelong learning is a topic of constant debate.44. to the traditional subjects of math and physics should be added a new discipline which combines computer science with statistics and other components.45. students who are burdened with family duties might choose to take online courses.section cdirections: there are 2 passages in this section. each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. for each of them there are fourchoices marked a), b), c) and d). you should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on answer sheet 2with a single line through the centre.passage onequestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.why does social media trigger feelings of loneliness and inadequacy? because instead of being real life, it is, for the most part, impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering the pictures and words to put your best face forward.online “friends” made through social media do not follow the normal psychological progression of an interpersonal relationship. you share neither physical time nor emotional conversations over the internet. you simply communicate photographs and catchy posts to a diverse group of people whom you have “friended” or “followed” based on an accidental inter action. this isnot to say that your social media friends can’t be real friends. theyabsolutely can, but the two are not synonymous. generally speaking, there areno unfiltered comments or casually taken photos on our social media pages. and, rightfully s o, because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic and vulnerable with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.social media can certainly be an escape from the daily grind, but we mustbe cauti oned against the negative effects, such as addiction, on a person’s overall psychological well-being.as humans, we yearn for social connection. scrolling (滚动) through pagesof pictures and comments, however, does not provide the same degree offulfill ment as face to face interactions do. also, we tend to idealize others’ lives and compare our downfalls to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and inadequacy.social media can lead people on the unhealthy quest for perfection. some people begin to attend certain events or travel to different places so thatthey can snap that “perfect” photo. they begin to seek validation throughthe number of people who “like” their posts. in order for it to play a psychologically healthy role in your social life, social media should supplement an already healthy social network. pictures and posts should be byproducts of life’s treasured moments and fun times, not the planned andcalculated image that one is putting out into cyberspace in an attempt to fill insecurities or unmet needs.ultimately, social media has increased our ability to connect with various types of people all over the globe. it has opened doors for businesses and allowed us to stay connected to people whom we may not otherwise get to follow. however, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. if the latter is the case, increasing face-to-face time with trusted friends, and minimizing timescrolling online, will prove to be a reminder that your social network is much more rewarding than any “like,” “follow” or “share” can be.46. what does the author imply social media may do to our life?a) it may facilitate our interpersonal relationships.b) it may filter our negative impressions of others.c) it may make us feel isolated and incompetent.d) it may render us vulnerable and inauthentic.47. why do people post comments selectively on social media?a) they do not find all their online friends trustworthy.b) they want to avoid offending any of their audience.c) they do not want to lose their followers.d) they

rosy picture of other people’s lives.d) learn lessons from other people’s downfalls.49. what is the author’s view of pictures and posts on s ocial media?a) they should record the memorable moments in people’s lives.b) they should be carefully edited so as to present the best image.c) they should be shown in a way that meets one’s security needs.d) they should keep people from the unhealthy quest for perfection.50. what does the author advise people to do when they find their online experience unconstructive?a) use social media to increase their ability to connect with various types of people.b) stay connected to those whom they may not otherwise get to know and befriend.c) try to prevent negative thoughts and feelings from getting into the online pages.d) strengthen ties with real-life friends instead of caring about their online image.passage twoquestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.imagine that an alien species landed on earth and, through their mere presence, those aliens caused our art to vanish, our music to homogenize, and our technological know-how to disappear. that is effectively what humans have been doing to our closest relatives—chimps (大猩猩) .back in , a team of scientists led by andrew whiten showed that chimps from different parts of africa behave very differently from one another. some groups would get each other’s attention by rapping branches with their knuckles(指关节), while others did it by loudly ripping leaves with their teeth. the team identified 39 of these traditions that are practiced by some communities but not others—a pattern that, at the time, hadn’t been seen in any animal except humans. it was evidence, the team said, that chimps have their own cultures.it took a long time to convince skeptics that such cultures exist, but now we have plenty of examples of animals learning local traditions from one another.but just when many scientists have come to accept the existence of animal cultures, many of those cultures might vanish. ammie kalan and her colleagues have shown, through years of intensive fieldwork, that the very presence ofhumans has eroded the diversity of chimp behavior. where we flourish, their cultures wither. it is a bitterly ironic thing to learn on the 20thanniversary of whiten’s classic study.“it’s amazing to think that just 60 years ago, we knew next to nothingof the behavior of our sister species in the wild,”whiten says. “but now,just as we are truly getting to know our primate(灵长类) cousins, the actionsof humans are closing the window on all we have discovered.”“sometimes in the rush to conserve the species, i think we forget aboutthe individuals,” says cat hobaiter, a professor at the university of st. andrews. “each population, each community, even each generation of chimps is unique. an event might only have a small impact on the total population of chimps, but it may wipe out an entire community—an entire culture. no matter what we do to restore habitat or support population growth, we may never beable to restore that culture.”no one knows whether the destruction of chimp culture is getting worse.few places have tracked chimp behavior over long periods, and those that haveare also more likely to have protected their animals from human influence.obviously conservationists need to think about saving species in a completely new way—by preserving animal traditions as well as bodies and genes. “instead of focusing only on the c onservation of genetically based entities like species, we now need to also consider culturally based entities,” says andrew whiten.51. what does the author say we humans have been doing to chimps?a) ruining their culture.b) accelerating their extinction.c) treating them as alien species.d) homogenizing their living habits.52. what is the finding of andrew whiten’s team?a) chimps demonstrate highly developed skills of communication.b) chimps rely heavily upon their body language to communicate.c) chimps behave in ways quite similar to those of human beings.d) different chimp groups differ in their way of communication.53. what did ammie kalan and her colleagues find through their intensive fieldwork?a) whiten’s classic study has little impact on the diversity of chimp behavior.b) chimp behavior becomes less varied with the increase of human activity.c) chimps alter their culture to quickly adapt to the changed environment.d) it might already be too late to prevent animal cultures from extinction.54. what does cat hobaiter think we should do for chimp conservation?a) try to understand our sister species’ behavior in the wild.b) make efforts to preserve each individual chimp community.c) study the unique characteristics of each generation of chimps.d) endeavor to restore chimp habitats to expand its total population.55. what does the author suggest conservationists do?a) focus entirely on culturally-based entities rather than genetically-based ones.b) place more stress on animal traditions than on their physical conservation.c) conserve animal species in a novel and all-round way.d) explore the cultures of species, before they vanish.part iv translation

On this day, she disconnects from the digital world and focuses on real-life experiences. In the morning, she prepares breakfast for herself while listening to music. In the afternoon, she wanders through the park with friends and in the evening, they enjoy a meal together without touching their phones, engaged in deep conversation. Upon returning home, she spends the evening reading.Chen started the plan as she often felt “interrupted” by technology, ci ting moments of distraction (分心) like pop-up notifications, ring tones and repetitious warnings leading her to check for new messages, and feelings of information ov erload. “Occasionallydisconnecting from the network is like feeding the brain a day of vegetarian food,” Chen said. Unplug Day is part of her plan to combat information overload from overusing the phone and to rebuild her focus. In addition to this, she has started replacing short videos with longer ones and prioritizes reading in-depth news articles or books. “When friends gather and everyone is glued to their phones, it makes me uncomfortable,” Chen said, adding that burying herself in social media prevented her from completing work as planned, leading to psychological burdens and a decreasing focus.It’s become a common situation where modern people might unconsciously use the time spent waiting at traffic lights to watch a short video or constantly check out a trending topic upon receiving a push notification from an app. To prevent this sense of being “controlled” by mobile devices, some young Chinese like Chen are experimenting with digital minimalism and are discovering positive outcomes from their efforts. Technology should bring us joy, not reduce the time we spend with family or increase our anxiety. Our goal is to control technology rather than letting it control us.4. What can we learn about Unplug DayA. It is a day for reading.B. It is a day without phones.C. It is a day away from the Internet.D. It is a day to spend withfriends.5. What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 2 meanA. Range.B. Cancel.C. Obtain.D. Prevent.6. What is the direct impact of over-involvement in social mediaA. Tasks’ delays.B. Stress from peers.C. Mental problems.D. A decreasing focus.7. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraphA. Enjoy the benefits of technology.B. Decrease the time spent on digital devices.C. Remove the apps informing new messages.D. Watch longer videos while waiting at traffic lights.CHoney is a simple pleasure. It’s easy to forget, while enjoying its luxurious sweetness on a slice of buttered toast, that it is the end-product of a complicated production line involving advanced biological machinery and thousands of skilled workers.Honey starts out as nectar (花蜜), a solution of various sugars that flowering plants produce to attract insects like butterflies and all kinds of bees. Most of these visitors drink it down on the spot as nutrition for themselves. A food-hunting worker bee, though, does things differently. The bee stores the nectar in its honey stomach rather than digesting it. The stomach can hold a lot of nectar, up toalmost half the bee’s unloa ded body mass, and filling it may require a thousand flower visits. The transformation of nectar into honey begins while the bee is still on the wing, as the honey stomach produces enzymes (酶) that break down the larger, complex sugar molecule (分子) into smaller ones.On arrival back at the hive, where bees live and work, the bee unloads the nectar by giving the sugary solution to other workers, who pass it back and forth between each other, adding more enzymes each time. Once it is sufficiently sticky, the mixture is laid down in the beeswax cells of the honeycomb and the workers continue the drying process by fanning it with their wings. Only when the water content has been reduced to about 18 percent (from about 75 percent in the original nectar) do they seal the cells with beeswax lids. At this point , it is well and truly honey.An average hive produces about 11 kg of honey in a season, which requires the bees to fly over 1.5 million kilometers between them. A standard jar of honey requires about 80,000 km. The effort that has gone into making honey is worth remembering when spreading it onto toast —it can surely only add to the pleasure.8. Why does the worker bee store the nectar in its stomachA. To digest better.B. To absorb its nutrition.C. To keep it for its future food.D. To share it with other bees.9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3A. The cells are sealed by sticky solution.B. Producing honey requires teamwork.C. The drying work is done by female bees.D. It’s critical to maintain water percentage.10. How is the last paragraph developedA. By listing figures.B. By giving definitions.C. By making comparisons.D. By providing examples.11. Which may be a suitable title for the textA. Skilled WorkersB. A Simple PleasureC. Advanced and Intelligent CreaturesD. Luxurious Sweetness from Delicate WorkDTitled “A new future of work: The race to deploy (部署) AI and raise skills in Europe and beyond”, the report highlights the potential for AI to transform the global workforce by 2030, China Media Group reported on Sunday.The report suggests that generative AI could automate nearly one-third of working hours in the US and Europe, leading to a polarization of the labor market. High-skilled, high-wage jobs may face talent shortages, while low-wage industries could experience asurplus (剩余) of labor. The percentage of high-wage jobs is expected to rise by 1.8 percent, while low-wage jobs may decrease by 1.4 percent. Germany, according to the report, is projected to have around 3 million jobs affected by AI by 2030, representing 7 percent of its total employment. Office jobs in administrative sectors of companies and public institutions are expected to be hit the hardest, accounting for 54 percent of all AI-impacted positions. In addition, the report stresses the importance of upskilling and reskilling the workforce to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by AI, suggesting that individuals can adapt by actively participating in training programs. McKinsey researchers call on manager s to invest heavily in employee education and training, saying that without a significant improvement in the skill levels of the workforce, AI cannot fully release its potential.The rapid development and widespread application of AI are unavoidable trends, and the potential risks and issues must be addressed through development. Improving the governance system is not about restricting AI development but promoting its healthy growth. It is essential to establish a legal and policy framework suited to the development. The necessities are highlighted that a policy environment should be created which is beneficial to AI research, development, and application and thesafety responsibilities and accountability mechanisms for AI systems should be clarified, ensuring trackability and repairability of responsible parties.12. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly aboutA. The threats posed by AI.B. The future workforce training.C. The advantages of AI workforce.D. The potential effect of AI on workforce.13. What is emphasized to meet the challengeA. Education and training.B. Skills of management.C. Government investment.D. Policy and opportunities.14. What is the author’s attitude towards AI developmentA. Unclear.B. Dismissive.C. Objective.D. Doubtful.15. Which column of a news website may the text be taken fromA. Fashion.B. Health.C. Technology.D. Service.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The whole movie is full of warmth and hardship, and the hardship makes the audience see hope and happiness. Importantly, the movie sheds light on the families of Alzheimer’s patients，taking on a realistic side to life and giving it significant social value.Mrs Harris Goes to ParisIn 1950s in London, Mrs Harris, a cleaning lady whose husband has been dead for decades，is passionate about high-end designer dress. And she decides to save up and work hard to buy one of her own. After pooling enough money, Mrs Harris flies to Paris. Having experienced various changes, she finally fulfills her desire.

A Spanish national treasure actor plays this two-faced “good boss” to perfection.

Savannah is my twin sister and my life would be completely different without her. Everyone always thinks it’s amazing to have a twin and it is but it’s also not. People always beautify having a twin. They say it’s natural to be good friends, which is true, but nobody ever talks about the negative side of it.People also say things like “Who’s the smarter twin?”As twins, we are constantly getting compared. In the second grade, she got admitted to a class for advanced students. In 6th grade she was put into advanced math. I finally got put into advanced math for 8th grade but it still wasn’t enough because by then she was in a class that was two years ahead and mine was just one. So people called me the dumb twin.I played soccer from the ages 5-9. I quit when I was 9 because people decided Savannah was better and I didn’t want to hear it anymore. She still plays. We also played softball together when we were 10-11. I quit that too mainly for the same reason.One day when I was in 7th grade, Savannah, our friends and I were at top golf for one of their birthdays. We were almost done playing. My friend Allison said, “Savannah，how does it feel to be losing to the unathletic twin?” Allison didn’t play any sports either，but since she wasn’t a twin, she wasn’t getting compared to anyone.I could write a million stories about who’s the prettier twin? Who’s the uglier twin? Who’s the funnier twin? It never really ends. Even though we get compared, I still love Savannah and she has made such a huge impact on my life.As I’ve gotten older, it has less of an effect on me when people compare us. I have realized that there is always going to be someone out there comparing us and there is nothingI can do about it. I am growing into my own person.4、What is rarely discussed about twins according to the text?A. The bad side.B. The appearance.C. The difference.D.

Negative.China has built in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, the Germplasm (种质) Bank of Wild Species, a comprehensive national database for the collection and preservation of wildlife germplasm resources. As of the end of 2020, the bank preserved 85,046 copies of 10,601 wild plant seeds for protecting wildlife germplasm resources. Preserving dried and frozen seeds, the bank provides technological support for the protection and research, makes use of China’s wildlife germplasm resources, and plays a major part in international biodiversity conservation.The importance of science and technology for biodiversity conservation is increasingly obvious. When remote sensor monitoring was not available, agricultural technicians had no choice but to go for field studies, which could barely meet the need for large-scale, fast and nondestructive (非破坏性的) monitoring of crop conditions and timely prevention and control of diseases and pests. Nowadays, remote sensor monitoring has been applied in agricultural production in China, allowing agricultural technicians to analyze the movements of insect pests and evaluate plant diseases and insect pests by monitoring remotely the vegetation growth, coverage, surface temperature, humidity and other indicators.In the Internet era, information technology has made the processing of massive data possible and created wider and more convenient platforms for biodiversity conservation in China, including Chinese Virtual Herbarium, Plant Photo Bank of China, and National Animal Collection Resource Center. The emergence of databases and digital programs in recent years is driving China to turn around its seriously threatened biodiversity.From the collection and storage of information to the management and analysis of resources，the constantly improving biodiversity information network has realized the exploration and use of massive biodiversity data, providing a solid foundation for China’s biodiversity conservation and research. Biodiversity conservation and science and technologyconservation can humankind guard the Earth and build a beautiful world of harmony among all beings on the planet.8、What can we learn about the bank from paragraph 1?A. Its crisis.B. Its administration.C. Its role.D. Its staff.9、What do researchers hardly need to do with the help of remote sensor monitoring?A. Evaluate plant diseases and insect pests.B. Go to fields to control the plant diseases.C. Analyze the tracks of the pests of plants.D. Satisfy the need to monitor crop conditions.10、What does the underlined word “inextricable” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Linked.B. Competitive.C. Inadequate.D. Inessential.11、Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Germplasm Bank of Wild Species Develops FastB. Technologies Promote Chinese Biodiversity ProtectionC. China Has Made Great Efforts to Process Massive DataD. Information Technology Contributes Much to Many FieldsIf you live in San Diego, you’ve probably noticed some strangely coloured water on the beach lately. You might wonder about red tide, but it’s actually an intentional job. Scientists at UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography and University of Washington have been experimenting with dyeing (给……染色) the ocean at San Diego beach pink. What could they possibly be up to?This is being done for a study that examines how fresh water on the outlet of the sea is intermixing with the ocean. The experiment is called Plumes in Nearshore Conditions (PiNC). “I’m excited because this research hasn’t been done before and it’s a really unique experiment,” said Sarah Giddings, a Scripps coastal oceanographer leading the PiNC study. “The aim is to understand how fresh water interacts with ocean waves，since it is usually warmer than ocean water and more floating. The researchers are hoping that this pink dye experiment will help them record more about how pollutants and sediments (沉积物) are distributed in the ocean water through these additions of fresh water.The fresh water is dyed pink so that the team can easily keep track of it when fresh water is added to the sea water. The dye does not threaten the wildlife living there and is then spotted as it progresses in the water. It is tracked by sensors on poles that are located alongthe sand as well as by drones(无人驾驶飞机). There’s also a device that tracks the light that is given off by the pink dye. The sensors record the height of the waves, ocean currents and temperature.Giddings explained, “We’ve bringing together a lot of different people with different expertise. I think it’s going to have some really great results and impacts. We will combine the results from this experiment with a former field study and computer models to help us further understand how the dyed fresh water spreads.12、How does the author lead in the topic of the text?A. By showing a strange phenomenon.B. By making an assumption.C. By quoting a well-known saying.D. By making a comparison.13、What is the purpose of Plumes in Nearshore Conditions?A. To introduce the benefits of dyeing sea water pink.B. To show how fresh water combines with sea water.C. To prove that fresh water is warmer than sea water.D. To examine the impact of fresh water on sea water.14、Why is pink dye used by the team?A. It can enormously give off light.B. It can function well with sensors.C. It can be recognized easily and eco-friendly.D. It seems to attract wildlife and spread rapidly.15、What will the researchers do according to Giddings’ words in the last paragraph?A. Challenge the results with some experts.B. Build more scientific computer models.C. Experiment with dyes of another colour.D. Integrate more results of former studies.二、七选五16、When it comes to earning wealth, some people admire wealth to an extreme level, overlooking spiritual values. One of the most significant and incomparable spiritual values is wisdom. ①_______ However, a huge number of people believe that wealth surpasses wisdom.The invaluable qualities wisdom inherits(继承) in a person cannot be bought by wealth.A wealthy individual may experience the most luxury and comfort on the Earth. ②_______Albert Einstein once said, Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelongattempt to acquire it.” One needs to develo p a positive mindset and the willingness to be polite and should possess a sense of sympathy. ③_______You can consider wisdom as the person’s capability to make correct decisions and choices. ④_______ It keeps on enhancing with time.

What is the author's intention in writing this passage?A. To ensure the safety of PayQuick.B. To stress the importance of PayQuick.C. To popularize the use of PayQuick.D. To illustrate the application of PayQuick.BTonight, our family was going out to play under the full moon.My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot. But after we became parents, we did this for our children. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising—a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon's face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is avisual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size.Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me.To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens.24. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Going on a hike through the forest.B. Taking a walk under the full moon.C. Watching magic shows every month.D. Traveling far from home for adventure.25. What can we learn from their family outing?A. The kids were reluctant to participate.B. Todd mentioned the mirror to explain sunlight.C. The kids exhibited a spirit of exploration about the moon.D. The author used a magic trick to explain the larger moon.26. Which of the following best describes the parents?A. Creative and faithful.B. Selfless and brave.C. Inspiring and generous.D. Insightful and patient.27. What does the story convey to the readers?A. Life is what you make it.B. Every cloud has a silver lining.C. Nature is the best teacher.D. God helps those who help themselves.CAs humanity has got richer, animal's roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine (内燃机) made horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Domestic animals are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular, as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet.The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet foodshelves are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitive digestion.In the business, this is called “pet humanization” — the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella, Lucy, and Max.People still hold the false assumption that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. New research suggests that dogs have evolved those “cute eyes” to affect human emotions and control them, which works very well. Humans now work very hard to pay for the care of their pets. For example, Americans often refer to themselves not as cat owners but as the cat's “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one step further, describing the mselves as cat “butlers (管家)”. Watch an unlucky man walking his dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and we have to doubt: who's in charge now? Is this relationship what we really want?28. What can we learn about the animal-keeping trend?A. People's needs for animal services are increasing.B. The price for purchasing a domestic pet is on the rise.C. Pet foods are less various and customized than before.D. Both the pet number and the pet business are growing.29. Which of the following is the evidence of “pet humanization”?A. Pets’ ability to make their owners less anxious.B. Human's increasing investment in pet-keeping.C. Pet's roles as both working staff and companions.D. The owners' preference to give pets human names.30. What is the author's attitude towards the current human-pet relationship?A. Skeptical.B. Conservative.C. Unclear.D. Approving.31. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. The Changing Roles of PetsB. The Growing Trend of Pet BusinessC. The Craze for Pet-keepingD. The Pros and Cons of Keeping PetsDHibernation (冬眠) is a classic topic of science fiction. In movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, or Passengers, crew members are put into a state of sleep to take year-long journeys to space. Now a new study fromWashington University has shown that human hibernation may soon become a reality.The research team carried out tests on rats —animals that do not naturally hibernate. They first identified a group of neurons (神经元) in a deep brain region, which were found to be involved in controlling body temperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could be stimulated using ultrasound (超声波), which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury.When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about3°C, and their heart rates fell by about 47%. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again. The result was “surprising and fascinating”, said Hong Chen, a professor who led the work.Researchers are also trying to determine how to harness the power of hibernation to help humans. They believe that it could be key to addressing health condi tions like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, hibernation’s ability to slow aging, which was observed in bats, could benefit space exploration, enabling longer missions with less food requirements. Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration soon after they wake up.By unlocking the secrets of this remarkable process, researchers may uncover ways to improve human health, as well as gain new insights into the natural world. Therefore, the exploration of hibernation is an exciting area that is sure to yield numerous benefits in the years to come.The scientists now plan to look at how lowered body temperature might affect the cognitive abilities of humans. “Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronauts physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be working,” said Chen.32. How did researchers put rats into hibernation?A. By lowering their body temperature.B. By activating specific brain neurons.C. By putting a regular helmet on them.D. By using ultrasound through an operation.33. What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employ.B. Challenge.C. Overlook.D. Discover.34. What advantage might hibernation bring to humans?A. It improves people's mental health.B. It predicts a variety of heart diseases.C. It helps astronauts keep physically fit.D. It enables astronauts to build up muscle.35. What's the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To point out the significance of the study.B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.C. To discuss other factors affecting hibernation.D. To explain practical applications of the finding.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make books. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, there were not many books, and they were expensive. So, few people had the chance to learn to read.Printing was invented in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later, developments in printing made it possible to produce books more quickly and cheaply. A trade in books resulted, and more people learnt to read. Knowledge and ideas spread faster than ever before. In a way, we can compare the invention of paper and printing to the introduction of the Internet in the twentieth century.Although the Internet is still young, it is growing very fast, and may become more powerful than printing. A much larger amount of information can be stored in more varied forms on the Internet than in books. Someone with an Internet connection can find information much more easily than they can find it in printed forms. And the machines we use to read it are now small andlight, often smaller and lighter than a single book.Computers and the Internet are used in classroom now, and newspapers and magazines are already read online. So what direction will traditional printing take in the future? Will books be replaced by the Internet? Let’s wait and see.51.What does the writer do before he goes to sleep?A. He reads books.B. He reads newspapers.C. He looks through magazines.D. He looks at the posters on the wall.52.When was paper first created?A. About 2000 years ago.B. In the 19th century.C. About 1000 years ago.D. In the 11th century.53. Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?A. People could not read.B. People could not write words on paper.C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.D. People could only produce books one at a time by hand.54. What happened after books became cheaper?A. People didn’t want to buy books.B. Printing was invented in China.C. Knowledge and ideas spread quickly.D. The Internet was introduced to people soon.55. What is the writer’s opinion about books and computers?A. People won’t need books any more.B. Books won’t be replaced by computers.C. People prefer to find information in books.D. Computers have already replaced books.(B)Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal(偷) the bell on his neighbor’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of(抓住) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise.
