Due to strict(62)control measures and a closed airport, Bali went from receiving millions of international visitors to welcoming just 45 in 2021. The two-digit number accounts for the period between January and October 2021 and was(63)by the Central Statistics Bureau of Bali.As the island's Ngurah Rai International Airport(DPS)in Denpasar has been closed to international flights nearly all year, those tourists have almost all come via private yachts. Though the airport officially reopened to international flights on October 14, there have so far only been domestic flights in and out of the airport,(64)from Indonesia's capital city of Jakarta.In order to come to Bali, foreign tourists have to deal with strict Covid-related entry requirements. They must obtain a business visa at a cost of $300(there are no tourist visas at present), take multiple PCR tests and buy special health (65). In addition, airfare costs are higher than usual due to the lack of direct flights.One hopeful visitor is Justyna Wrucha, a UK citizen planning a trip to Bali with her husband. It will be their first visit to the island, which has long been on their bucket list. However, they think that the policies relating to foreign visitors are extremely harsh by(66) a 10-day quarantine on fully(67)people.Bali's Covid policies are determined by the central government in Jakarta, not by local authorities on the island. Originally, the quarantines were shorter but were recently increased due to fears of the new Omicron(68). Ray Suryawijaya, head of the Indonesian Hotels and Restaurants Association of Bali's Badung District, agrees with Wrucha. "With all those barriers, it's difficult for us to expect foreign tourists to come to Bali," he said.However, there is one small glimmer of hope with the gradual return of domestic tourism. Ray reports that the(69)rate of hotels in Bali is now around 35%. "On weekends, about 13,000 domestic tourists are visiting Bali," he adds. While that small trickle of visitors is an(70)note to end the year on, especially for the many Balineselocals who depend on tourism to support their families, it won't be enough to rescue the 2021 season.III. Reading Comprehension (1*15+2*19=53分)Section 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.Brazil’s election offers hope for the rainforestA presidential election in 2022 will offer a chance for Brazil’s government to reverse policies that have 71 to global climate change. The country is home to 60% of the Amazon rainforest, which has historically been an important carbon 72 . But a worrying study published in 2021 in Nature found that over the past decade it has 73 become a carbon source. The culprits: forest fires and deforestation, which has soared by more than 40% since President Jair Bolsonaro 74 in 2019.On his watch, environmental enforcement and fines dropped to record lows. Activists say this has encouraged 75 logging, mining, and land-grabbing. In June the environment minister, Ricardo Salles, resigned after federal police began investigating him for alleged 76 in timber trafficking.A greener president would try to crack down on such crimes. Polls 77 that Mr Bolsonaro is likely to lose the election. His successor could convince Germany and Norway to unfreeze the Amazon Fund, a pot of money for enforcement and 78 development that was withdrawn in 2019 amid concerns about Mr Bolsonaro’s policies. A new president could also revive talks with President Joe Biden, who has offered to 79 a $20bn fund for the rainforest once Brazil starts showing results.But even an enlightened president will have to battle a 80 Congress, which is considering a number of laws that threaten the rainforest and its inhabitants. These include a land-regularisation bill nicknamed the “land-grabbing law” and a bill that would 81 wildcat mining on indigenous territories. In August thousands of indigenous people camped out in the capital as the supreme court debated a case that would restrict their territories to land that was 82 when a new constitution was passed in 1988. The court postponed its 83 , but Congress is considering a law that would have the 84 effect.Better leadership in Brazil could jump-start regional efforts to boost enforcement and find sustainable 85 to deforestation for the rainforest’s inhabitants. But if Mr Bolsonaro wins again, his determination to fill the forest with roads, dams and mines could cause destruction far beyond the borders of Brazil.71.

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)A Swedish power plant is taking reuse and recycle to the next level by burning unusable clothing instead of coal, Bloomberg reports.Retail giant Hennes & Mauritz, more commonly known as H & M, is helping the utility transition away from coal through its moldy or otherwise unsalable clothing.The multi-fuel power and heating station in Vasteras, central Sweden, is planning to be completely fossil-fuel free by 2030. It’s the largest station of its kind and Sweden claims it's one of Europe's cleanest. To kick its coal habit, the station is turning to other burnable materials including recycled wood, rubbish and yes, clothes.“Our goal is to use only renewable and recycled fuels,” Jens Neren, head of fuel supplies at the utility company which owns and operates the Vasteras plant, told Bloomberg.Johanna Dahl, head of communications for H & M in Sweden, told Bloomberg that the company allows only the burning of clothes which are no longer safe to use.“It is our legal obligation to make sure that clothes that contain mold or do not meet the requirements of our strict restriction on chemicals are destroyed," she said.The Vasteras plant has burned around 15 tons of old H &M clothes so far this year, compared with about 400,000 tons of rubbish, Neren told Bloomberg.Sweden has one of the world’s greenest energy generating systems, and has invested in bioenergy, solar power and electric buses. In 2020, the Scandinavian country announced an ambitious aim to become one of the first nations in the world to end its dependence on fossil fuels. According to the Swedish government, the country has already heavily reduced its dependence on oil, which accounted for 75% of the energy supply in 1970, and now makes up a 20% share.86. Which of the following can serve as fuel in the Vasteras plant?A. Fashionable boots in chain store.B. Old TV sets deserted as rubbish.C. Wooden furniture in second-hand shop.D. H & M clothes unsuitable for sale.87. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the power station in Vasteras?A. It uses multiple fuels and generates heat.B. It is larger than any other station of its kind.C. It only burns recycled wood and rubbish.D. It will use no more fossil fuels after 2030.88. We can learn from the passage that .A. the Swedish government discourages the development of bioenergy.B. clothes only take up a small proportion of the burning material.C. Sweden’s fossil-fuel free plan is almost accomplished by now.D. Sweden has an ambition to be the cleanest country in the world.89. What is the main idea of the passage?A. A Swedish power plant is burning unusable H & M clothes for fuel.B. The Swedish government aims high and is taking effective action.C. H & M is looking for a new way to strengthen its position in fashion.D. Coal and oil are no longer regarded as the primary fuels in Sweden.(B)Are you worried about the planet and tired of waiting around for things to change?

The English language(C)Friederike Otto: Weather detectiveFriederike Otto has spent the past seven years studying extreme weather events, but even she was shocked when an extraordinary heatwave hit Canada and the US Pacific Northwest in July, shattering temperature records and killing hundreds of people.Whenever extreme weather strikes these days, people immediately wonder whether climate change is to blame. This is exactly the kind of question that Otto and her collaborators in the World Weather Attribution(WW A)group try to answer quickly. Otto set up a video call with the WWA team and they planned a speedy research study. The team pored over(翻阅,研读)meteorological data to gauge how big the heatwave was, studied climate records for the region and ran computer models to find out how much more likely this kind of heatwave has become, relative to a hypothetical world without climate change. The result: it would have been all but impossible for a heatwave of that magnitude to have happened in the region without human-induced climate change.“Temperature records were broken by 5 °C in some places,” Otto says. “That’s immense.” Otto, a climate researcher at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment in London, helped to set up the WWA in 2015 with the aim of rapidly analysing whether climate change plays a part in extreme heat, cold, downpours, drought and wildfire activity. She chairs the ad hoc(特别组建的)group, which includes about a dozen climate modellers and statisticians.Until a few years ago, scientists would have been hard-pressed to answer with certainty whether climate change is to blame for specific extremes, and how much more(or less)likely they have become. Many scientists viewed attribution studies critically when the WW A made its first attempts to analyse extreme events—using just one or two climate models without evaluating whether these were able to reliably simulate(模拟)the extreme in question.This has changed entirely. Otto and her team have developed a strategy that uses climate simulations from as many as 50 models. This approach and the studies generated are now widely viewed as highly robust; they feature prominently in a report issued in August by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a scientific committee established by the United Nations. It is now an “established fact”, the panel said, that rising greenhouse-gas emissions have made some weather extremes—in particular, extreme heat—more frequent and more intense.Attribution studies are more difficult in the global south, where reliable climate data are often lacking, and where local research capacities are limited. But these are some of the places most at risk from climate change and the extreme weather that it can spark. Otto hopes that lower-income countries will be able to strengthen their research in these areas in coming years, with support from wealthier countries.“Attribution studies are really essential in terms of understanding human impacts of climate change,” says Emily Boyd, a social scientist at Lund University in Sweden who studies climate adaptation and governance. “The science is shifting our mindsets—it allows us to think about the relation between climate and vulnerability in a completely new way.”93. What do the first two paragraphs imply?A. The global heatwave contributes to the decrease of human activities.B. The heatwaves strike Canada and the US Pacific Northwest every July.C. Human activities are to blame in connection with the dramatic temperature rise.D. Such natural disasters as droughts and floods have caused high temperature in the region.94. The underlined word hard-pressed in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by .A. in strict mannersB. in dangerous situationsC. without much effortD. under great pressure95. According to the passage, why is conducting attribution studies more difficult in the global south?A. Because some of the places are less likely to be influenced by the extreme weather.B. Because most poverty-stricken countries are geographically located in the global south.C. Because there is a severe shortage of accurate climate data collected from local research.D. Because rich countries won’t lend a helping hand in facilitating research in that area.96. Which of the following statements will Emily Boyd most probably agree with?A. High-income countries conducting attribution studies well suffer from climate change less.B. Scientific data open a window on how climate change has a negative impact on humans.C. Climate adaptation and governance is the key to tackling the abnormal temperature increases.D. The science explores the relation between climate and natural disasters from a new angle.(D)The Social Psychology of Potential Problems in Family Vacation Travel We think vacation travel can cause problems, but subjects did report experiencing less anger, arguing and tension on the vacation than when they are not. It may mean that American vacation habits help to produce self-fulfilling prophecies: one expects to experience less difficulty and so one does, opposite to another kind of self-fulfilling prophecies a small number of travelers encounter when trips prove disappointing after they see too many movies featuring travel frustrations. But it may also mean that vacations are actually relatively stress free. Moreover, for some of the very reasons that we theorize that vacations should create problems for many families, vacations may allow families to experiment creatively with their pattern of living, which may free families from well laid out territories and role routines to explore new and rewarding ways of relating.Although the supply of family therapists at national parks and resort hotels are now being advocated, we believe that vacations can be diagnostic of inherent relationship problems. It is difficult to sort out the tensions due to normal vacation frustrations from tensions representing underlying serious problems, but some families with serious problems by using work, school, and recreation patterns and by using privacy and territoriality patterns to keep themselves apart, according to Goffman in his book The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, when on vacation, may come face to face with the problems they have avoided. These people might be well advised to avoid joint vacations.。

And the Smithsonian’s National Zoo expects the panda craze to last for several more years.“Giant pandas are worthy ambassadors. They have much longer tenures (任期) than each of the Chinese ambassadors here, and they have many more fans than us,” Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang said at the reception. “Year by year, giant pandas have become an icon of mutual 48 and friendship between the two peoples. In particular, the arrival of Xiao Qi Ji (Little Miracle) two years ago has brought us a happy surprise.”He was referring to the cub’s birth in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, 49 with the deterioration of China-US bilateral relations to its lowest point in four decades.The ambassador noted that the number of giant pandas in the wild in China has increased from several hundred 50 years ago to more than 1,800, which meant the species is no longer “endangered”, thanks to unrelenting (持续的) efforts at protection and conservation.“But sadly, ‘panda-huggers’ are endangered. Now they need protection and conservation,” he said, in 50 to China-US relations, with hawkish (强硬的) US politicians increasingly seeking to “outcompete” China by 51 the country as a challenger or even a threat to the US.“China’s approach to panda diplomacy has 52 ” to “serve more of ... a tool to project soft power”, New York Times said in a recent article.In addition to Xiao Qi Ji, another panda – Kung Fu Panda – was also made in the US. “I still remember a/an 53 from it: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it’s called present!” Qin declared. “At present, we get together to cherish the wonderful gift of the panda. We need more pandas, and we also need more ‘panda-huggers’.”“I’m absolutely 54 to 50 more years of giant panda care and success and celebration for all of our visitors, so I look forward to working with our colleagues in China, as we are 55 about the future for our giant panda program,” said Brandie Smith, director of the National Zoo.III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Technology is connecting us in ways never seen before in human history. How will that change our societies, our relationships, ourselves?That’s the question that 56 Michael Wesch. The last time communicationstechnology had such a wide-ranging impact was 500 years ago with the invention of the printing press. Being able to print texts instead of writing them by hand 57 the world. It changed the way people could communicate with each other. Suddenly, multiple copies of books could be made quickly and easily. As more books became 58 , ideas spread much more rapidly. But what will be the impact of digital technology, the most powerful 59 tool we have ever seen?Michael Wesch argues that communication is 60 to our relationships, so it follows that a change in the way we communicate will change those relationships. Wesch, a university professor, explores digital communication in his work. 61 , Wesch and his students look at social networking and other interactive Internet tools like YouTube. When people create and share personal videos on YouTube, anyone anywhere can watch them. Wesch says that this 62 some people feeling a sort of deep connection with the entire world. But it’s not a 63 relationship; it’s not the same as the connection you feel with a member of your family. In fact, as Wesch says, it’s a relationship without any real 64 that you can turn off at any moment. So does it make sense to talk about a YouTube “community”?Wesch himself 65 the impact of digital media when he created and posted his own short video on YouTube. It attracted immediate attention and has been viewed millions of times. In his video, he tells us that webpages get 100 billion hits a day and that a new blog is started every half second. He asks us to 66 the power of this technology and how we use it. What could we do with it? What is its potential?67 the university, in the real world, Wesch believes it’s crucial for people to be able to use the new environment of digital media for the greatest possible impact. “It’s the 68 of our times that we are now so connected we fail to see it. I want to believe that technology can help us see relationships and global connections in 69 new ways. It’s pretty amazing that I have this little box sitting on my desk through which I can talk to any one of a billion people. And yet do any of us really 70 all the potential that’s there?56.

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)MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE; I find reflective isolation in it. I have seven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion. For a long time, I guarded this place of peace and quiet. When the children followed me into the garden, I would hand out chores. “Here: you weed the beans, you water the onions." Soon they would be hot or their backs would hurt from bending over, and they would leave me to myself.Then one day, I was trying to prepare the soil, and I honestly wasn't enjoying my time of peace and loneliness. My 13-year-old son, Josiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping. Working as a team, we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in no time at all. I thanked Josiah, realizing that l had enjoyed his company.The same thing happened with picking up rocks and planting the seeds --one or two of the children would appear to watch and then participate. Each time, I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster. So I stopped resenting their company and instead I began to share my gardening secrets. As spring became summer and the real work began, I expected the children to disappear, but no, there they were, watering, pulling weeds and checking for insects.One day I slipped out by myself to the garden, feeling a little bit guilty. I had a suspicion that the sugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked along the row, a little voice piped up behind me. "What are you eating, Mama?"Abby's big blue eyes sparkled as I showed her how to pull the strings off and pop(剥出)the peas into her mouth. She just loved how tasty they were. Then my sweet seven-year-old girl put me to shame. "Mama, I've got to pick a bunch. Won't the others love them? I can't wait to share."I realized how selfish I had been. I'd tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn't wait to share with her brothers and sisters.

History Researchers(C)A lone humpback whale travelled more than 9,800 kilometers from breeding areas in Brazil to those in Madagascar, setting a record for the longest mammal migration ever documented.Humpback whales are known to have some of the longest migration distances of all mammals, and this huge journey is about 400 kilometers farther than the previous humpback record. The finding was made by Peter Stevick, a biologist at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine.The whale’s journey was unusual not only for its length, but also because it travelled across about 90 degrees of longitude(经度) from west to east. Typically, humpbacks move in a north-south direction between cold feeding areas and warm breeding grounds.The whale, a female, was first spotted off the coast of Brazil, where researches photographed its tail fluke (尾鳍) and took skin samples to determine the animal’s sex. Two years later, a tourist on a whale-watching boat snapped a photo of the humpback near Madagascar.To match the two sightings, Stevick’s team used an extensive international catalogue of photographs of the undersides of tail flukes, which have distinctive markings. Researchers routinely compare the markings in each new photograph to those in the archive (档案馆).The scientists then estimated the animal’s shortest possible route: an arc skirting the southern tip of South Africa and heading north-east towards Madagascar. The minimum distance is 9,800 kilometers, says Stevick, but this is likely to be an underestimate, because the whale probably took a roundabout way to feed on krill(磷虾) in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica before reaching its destination.Most humpback-whale researchers focus on their efforts on the Northern Hemisphere because the Southern Ocean near the Antarctica is a tough environment and it is hard to get to, explaining Rochelle Constantine, who studies the ecology of humpback whales at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. But, for whales, oceans in the Southern Hemisphere are wider and easier to travel across, says Constantine. Scientists will probably observe more long-distance migrations in the Southern Hemisphere as satellite tracking becomes increasingly common, she adds.Daniel Palacios, an oceanographer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, says that record-breaking journey could indicate that migration patterns are shifting as populations begin to recover from near-extinction and the population increases. But the reasons why the whale did not follow the usual migration routes remain a mystery. She could have been exploring new habitats, or simply have lost her way. ‘We generally think of humpback whales as very well studied, but then they surprise us with things like t his,’ Palacios says. ‘Undoubtedly there are a lot of things we still don’t know about whale migration.’78.In what way was the whale’s journey considered unusual?A. It covered a long distance from west to east.B. A female whale rather than a male one completed it.C. The whale moved from its breeding ground to its feeding area.D. No one had ever spotted the whale other than at its destination.79.Why did the researchers compare the markings on tail flukes?A. There is a vast collection of such markings.B. The markings there last by far the longest.C. No two whales share the same markings.D. The markings are easiest to photograph.80.What can be inferred from the passage?A. More evidence should have been provided that the whale had ever arrived at Madagascar.B. South Hemisphere can provide more information about humpback whales’ migration.C. The whale’s actual route might well have been shorter than the scientists had estimated.D. North Hemisphere’s environment is becoming tougher for w hales to survive.81.What is the passage mainly about?A. A female whale was spotted twice in the Southern Ocean.B. Research on whales is a breakthrough.C. Whales’ migration routes vary with the climate change.D. A whale surprises researchers with her journey.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two sentences than you need.Globalization has significantly influenced food consumption in most parts of the world, but one country whose food has a long history of being globalized is Italy. If you walk down any main street in any major world city, you will find at least one Italian restaurant. Furthermore, Italy has seen changes in its own eating habits due to influence from other countries.Food has always been very important for Italian families. Italians take a lot of pride in the making and preparation of food. Until recently, pasta ------ a basic Italian food ------ would havebeen made by people in their local area. Families would also have made the sauces to eat with the pasta at home. ___82___Nowadays, however, Italian eating habits appear to have changed. people no longer spend so much time preparing their meals. Indeed, frozen or takeaway Italian meals have become very popular in Italy. Furthermore, dried pasta is now mass-produced and sold relatively cheaply in the supermarkets. Ready-made pasta sauces are also increasingly popular ------ sales have doubled in the last five years, according to one manufacturer. ___83___ This trend is more common in urban areas such as Rome, Milan and Venice, although many smaller towns are also experiencing similar changes.These changes have both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, globalization has increased the range of food available in Italy. Italians now have much more choice in terms of what they eat. They also do not need to spend so long preparing and making food, unless of course they want to. In contrast, it can be argued that large restaurant chains are becoming increasingly powerful, resulting in the destruction of local and national specialties. ___84______85___ Convenience foods have replaced many of the traditional home-cooked meals, and the availability of foreign fruits has greatly increased. While this extra choice is welcomed by some, others fear the damage it may cause to Italian traditions.IV. Productive Grammar (10分)Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.What makes this year’s World Cup special?This year’s FIFA World Cup kicked off in Qatar on Nov 20.

However, sometimes playing sports can have 31 effects on children. It may produce feelings of 32self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. Many children say they have been 33at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad 34 of sports. They think sports are just too 35 .Many researchers believe adults are the 36 cause of too much aggression in children’s sports and they are to blame. They believe children watch the aggressive adult behavior and 37 it. This behavior is then further 38 from one child to another. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children 39 look up to them. Often these adults 40 aggressively themselves, sending children the message that 41 is everything. Many parents go to children’s sporting events and shout insults at other players or cheer when their child behaves 42 . Wha t’s worse, children are also taught that hurting other players is 43 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.44 it comes to how to solve this problem, parents and coaches in particular should act as better 45 to children. They also need to teach children better 46 of life. They should not just 47 when children win or act aggressively. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are 48 .

The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.11.A.The location. B.The scenery.C.The seafood. D.The culture. 12.A.Attract whales to the closer shore.B.Tell people where to see whales.C.Warn people to stay away from shore.D.Go around to gather enough visitors. 13.A.It is held every other year in summer.B.It helps Whale Crier to show his talents.C.It guarantees everyone to find something to enjoy.D.It is one of the best eco-arts festivals in South Africa.【答案】11.A 12.B 13.C【原文】The annual whale festival in Hermanus, South Africa, starts today. The coastal town, located on the Western Cape about 1.5 hours from Cape Town, is famous for whale watching. It is one of the best locations in the world to witness large numbers of southern right whales moving in the season. The festival, which is the only eco-arts festival in South Africa, attracts over 130,000 visitors.Hermanus also has the world’s only “Whale Crier”, whose job is to go around and tell people where they may see whales — with his horn. Fortunately, the timing of the festival almost guarantees a whale sighting — as close as a few meters from shore!The whales are, of course, the main attraction of the festival, but many more terrific activities are available. The seaside environment, with the surrounding mountains, makes an ideal setting to enjoy the festival’s musical performances and fantastic seafood. For those who desire more adventure, there’s open water swimming, a night run and sports challenges. Other activities include an old car show, arts and crafts stalls and entertainment for kids. With something for everyone, what more could one ask for?Questions:11. What is the reason for so many visitors choosing to watch whales in Hermanus?12. What does Whale Crier do at the festival?13. What can we learn about the whale festival?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.14.A.Conflicts between labor and management.B.Rights and responsibilities of company employees.C.Common complaints made by office workers.D.Health and safety conditions in the workplace.15.A.They wanted the outdated equipment replaced.B.They quit work to protect their unborn babies.C.They sought help from union representatives.D.They requested to have their posts changed.16.A.To show how busy they are at work.B.To show how they love winter sports.C.To protest against the poor working conditions.D.To protect themselves against the heating system.【答案】14.D 15.D 16.C【原文】Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections, my co-workers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety risks in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about seven hours a day. An X-ray technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it’s exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to inspect the department. I’ve heard that at a factory in the area, two pregnant women, who were working with paint, requested a transfer to a safer department because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owner was too busy or too mean to do anything about it.

I had a suspicion that the sugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked along the row, a little voice piped up behind me. “What are you eating, Mama?”Abby’s big blue eyes sparkled as I showed her how to pull the strings off and pop (剥出) the peas into her mouth. She just loved how tasty they were. Then my sweet seven-year-old girl put me to shame. “Mama, I’ve got to pick a bunch. Won’t the others love them? I can’t wait to share.”I realized how selfish I had been. I’d tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn’t wait to share with her brothers and sisters. I held back tears and said, “Sure, honey, let’s pick some and I’ll show you how to prepare them. We’ll make the most wonderful supper.”51.Why did the writer ask her children to do chores whenever they were in the garden?A.She didn’t want to do all the work on her own.B.She intended to show the hard labor of gardening.C.She didn’t want them to get hurt or get too tired.D.She was determined to keep the garden to herself.52.What were the children like?① loud ②lively ③ guilty ④ loving ⑤ strongA.①②③④B.①②④C.①②③D.④⑤53.The underlined word “resent” probably means________.A.dislike B.expect C.keep D.sacrifice54.What did the writer try to tell the readers with this story?A.The best way to communicate with children is by working together.B.The golden rule of gardening is that many hands make light work.C.Everything feels better when shared with your family or your friend.D.Parents should spend as much time with their children as possible.Six Best Places for ________ in Paris第7页共16页◎第8页共16页boat snapped a photo of the humpback near Madagascar.To match the two sightings, Stevick's team used an extensive international catalogue of photographs ofthe undersides of tail flukes, which have distinctive markings. Researchers routinely compare the markingsin each new photograph to those in the archive.The scientists then estimated the animal's shortest possible route: an are skirting the southern tip ofSouth Africa and heading north-east towards Madagascar. The minimum distance is 9,800 kilometers, saysStevick, but this is likely to be an underestimate, because the whale probably took a roundabout way to feedon frill in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica before reaching its destination.Most humpback-whale researches focus on their efforts on the Northern Hemisphere because theSouthern Ocean near the Antarctica is a tough environment and it is hard to get to, explaining RochelleConstantine, who studies the ecology of humpback whales at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.But, for whales, oceans in the Southern Hemisphere are wider and easier to travel across, says Constantine.Scientists will probably observe more long-distance migrations in the Southern Hemisphere as satellitetracking becomes increasingly common, she adds.Daniel Palacios, an oceanographer at the University of Hawaii at Monoa, says that record-breakingjourney could indicate that migration patterns are shifting as populations begin to recover fromnear-extinction and the population increases. But the reasons why whale did not follow the usual migrationroutes remain a mystery. She could have been exploring new habitats, or simply have lost her way. “Wegenerally think of humpback whales as very well studied, but then they surprise us with things like this,”Palacios says. “Undoubtedly there are a lot of things we still don't know about whale migration.”58.In what way was the whale's journey considered unusual?A.It covered a long distance from west to east.B.A female whale rather than a male one completed it.C.The whale moved from its breeding ground to its feeding area.D.No one had ever spotted the whale other than at its destination.59.Why did the researchers compare the markings on tail flukes?A.There is a vast collection of such markings.B.The markings there last by far the longest.第9页共16页◎第10页共16页C.No two whales share the same markings.D.The markings are easiest to photograph. 60.What can be inferred from the passage?A.More evidence should have been provided that the whale had even arrived at Madagascar.B.South Hemisphere can provide more information about humpback whales' migration.C.The whale's actual route might well have been shorter than the scientists had estimated.D.North Hemisphere's environment is becoming tougher for whales to survive. 61.What is the passage mainly about?A.A female whale was spotted twice in the Southern Ocean.B.Research on whales is a breakthrough.C.Whales' migration routes vary with the climate change.D.A whale surprises researchers with her journey.五、六选四六、用单词的适当形式完成短文第11页共16页◎第12页共16页七、汉译英(整句)76.先进农业技术的引进使得这个农庄重新焕发了生机。

They'll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building. When everyone is tired, enjoy a fun family science show, commonly found in these museums.1.If a child is interested in the universe, he probably will visit _____.A.a YoutheaterB.an art museumC.a hands-on science museumD.a natural history museum2.What does "hands-on science" mean in the last paragraph?A.Science games designed by kids.B.Learning science by doing things.C.A show of kids' science work.D.Reading science books.3.Where does this text probably come from?A.A museum guide.B.A tourist map.C.A science textbook.D.A news report.BKenyan mother Beth Mwende heard her sleeping child cry out, but did not worry after the three-year-oldquickly quietened down. The next morning, however, she found her daughter, Mercy, nearly unconscious with two bite marks in the neck. “I didn’t know that it was a snake,” Mwende said.Although snakebites are common in her hometown, antivenom medication is difficult to get. Mwende lives about 160 kilometers east of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. So she took her daughter to a traditional healer. He placed stones over the bites. Mercy died within hours. She was one of about 700 Kenyans killed by snakebites each year, notes a report in the scientific publicationToxicon.The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center (KSRIC) is working to change that. The KSRIC hopes to have East Africa’s first antivenom medication on the market within five years. It estimates the cost will be about 30 percent of an imported product, which often sells for about US $ 30.More than 70, 000 people are bitten in East Africa each year. Climate change and deforestation are worsening the problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.Nearly 100 snakes live at the research center in a forest near Nairobi. Researchers take venom from snakes and study it before injecting small amounts into other animals, such as sheep. The animals then create antibodies that can be made into antivenom.“Up to now, no one has made any kind of antivenom in Kenya,’’ said Geoffrey Maranga Kepha, a senior snake handler.Two effective antivenoms are available in Kenya, from India and Mexico, the center says.The center is teaching communities that using antivenom immediately after receiving a snakebite can save lives, said head researcher George Adinoh.“After seeing how people died in Kenya from snakebites I decided to devote my life to coming up with a rescue measure that will help or prevent people from dying from snakebites,” snake handler Kepha added.4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By telling a story.B. By listing figures.C. By referririg to documents.D. By making a comparison.5. Why did Mwende take her daughter to a traditional healer?A. She couldn’t afford any modern treatment.B. She lived where antivenom medication is not available.C. The traditional way is very effective to treat snakebites.D. She believed a traditional healer could cure her daughter.6. What is causing more snakebites to happen in East Africa?A. Lack of antivenom medication.B. Environmental damage and climate change.C. People’s low awareness of the danger of snakes.D. People’s pursuit of traditional cures for snakebites.7. What do we know about antivenom in Kenya from the text?A. Itis taken from antibodies of sheep.B. There is only one effective antivenom available.C. KSRIC is trying to develop a local antivenom now.D. People refuse to use antivenom after being bitten by snakes.CYour best friend that follows you around when the sun comes out - your shadow - doesn’t serve an important function like your heart or brain, but what if you could use shadows to create electricity? When using solar panels (电池板) that are powered by light, shadows can be boring because it means electricity can’t be created. However, researchers from the National University of Singapore have engineered a way to create power from the shadows present everywhere.A team of the university created a machine that can collect energy from shadows. It is created by placing a thin coating of gold onto silicon (硅). Like in a normal solar panel, when put in light, the silicon electrons (电子) become energized and the energized electrons then jump from the silicon to the gold. The voltage (电压) of the part of the machine that is placed in the light increases to the dark part and the electrons in the machine flow from high to low voltage. They are sent through an external circuit (外电路) creating a current that can be used to power another machine. The greater the contrast between light and dark, more energy is provided by the machine.The team isworking on improving the performance of the machine, borrowing approaches from solar panels to gather light. Increasing the amount of light the machines can receive allows them to better make use of shadows, as well as developing shadow energy collecting panels that can successfully gather from indoor lighting. The team is also researching the use of other materials other than gold to drop the price of the machine, meaning they would be more cost effective and easier to apply in society.Shadows are present everywhere and perhaps one day in the future we will be able to collect energy from them by placing the shadow-effect energy machine around the world in places that have been considered unfit for solar panels to work, or indoors. “A lot of people think that shadows are useless,” Tan says, but “anything can beuseful, even shadows.”8. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A. Your best friend always stays with you after the sunrise.B. The shadow has the same function as the heart and brain.C. Shadows can stop solar panels from creating electricity.D. Researchers have found a way to create power from shadows.9. What is the key working principle of the machine mentioned in the text?A. The silicon produces electricity when it is in the light.B. The gold produces power with the help of the silicon.C. The energized electrons flow from high to low voltage.D. An external circuit creates current using another machine.10. How does the team improve the performance of the machine?A. Using solar panels in the machine.B. Increasing the amount of light received.C. Developing light energy collecting panels.D. Bringing down the price of gold.11. Which of the following is the best place to apply the machine?A. A gym.B. A park.C. A farm.D. A playground.DWe asked four people who watched an online talk on technology and communication by Sherry Turkle for their opinions.Fred:The talk certainly gave me plenty of food for thought about how technology is changing our behaviour. People are constantly multitasking, whether it be emailing during meetings or texting in the checkout queue. It’s as if we can’t bear to miss out on what our online friends are up to, so we juggle the real and online world. My greatest concern is that we don’t give our brains a chance to switch off. It’sthese precious momentswhen we actually process information that helps us make important decisions.Jeremy:It was a fascinating talk and the speaker really hit the nail on the head with a couple of things. Take parental influence, for instance. How can we expect teenagers not to text while doing their homework when they witnesstheir parents posting on social media while cooking the evening meal or waiting at a red light?Kath:So much of what the speaker said rang true. I honestly believe there’s a danger that the more connected we are, the more isolated we feel. I don’t think this is such an issue for my generation who’ve lived without technology for so long. We know how to be alone. But the under 20s are another kettle of fish. They’re so busy communicating that they never experience the feeling of solitude and run the risk of not learning how to enjoy their own company.Carl:I’m not sure to what extent I agree that people are more alone, but the way we communicate has certainly evolved. The speaker makes a good point about how we’re getting used to talking with machines like Siri or robots, which are totally lack of experience of human life. But despite such limitations, we seem to be expecting more from technology and less from each other.12. What does the underlined phrase “these precious moments” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. When our brains are free.B. When we emailing during meeting.C. When we texting in the checkout queue.D. When we juggle the real and online world.13. What suggestion may Jeremy give to the parents?A. Accompany their children when they are doing homework.B. Prevent their children using phone while doing homework.C. Set a good example for their children on using phone properly.D. Stop posting on social media in face of their children.14. What does Kath worry about the under 20s generation?A. They communicate more with others.B. They use more technology.C. It’s difficult for them to find companies.D. They don’t know how to be alone.15. What is Carl’s attitude towards the use of technology in communication?A. Favorable.B. Intolerant.C. Doubtful.D. Indifferent.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。

My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people.

Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.After several weeks of job-hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job.I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends.

If we have seen a black flower, it is a chance in a million. People have made census (统计) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why are black flowers so rare?As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of colored light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣) , are very weak and easy to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So the black flowers can hardly continue their lives. While red flowers, orange flowers and yellow ones can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting(反射)the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowersare so unusual.58.
