Vocabulary (10%)British scientist Isaac Newton (1643-1727) once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoul ders of giants.” And this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry may have best 21)___________ these words.This year’s prize was 22)___________ between three scientists –Frenchman Jean-Pierre Sauvage, British-born Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Dutch scientist Bernard L. Feringa. They were awarded the prize for creating the world’s smallest machines.How small? Instead of being made of nails and bolts like 23)_________ machines, they are made of molecules. Instead of measuring in meters or centimeters, they measure in nanometers ––one billionth of a meter –– much thinner than a human hair.But this was achieved neither 24)__________, nor alone.Back in 1983, Sauvage, who is now a retired professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, started doing the research. He managed to join two ring-shaped molecules together to form a chain. The work is so hard and 25)__________that The Guardian describes it as like “building a Lego castle in the dark with boxing gloves”.If what Sauvage had done was building the body of a car, what Stoddart managed to do 10 years later in 1991 was adding wheels to the car. Stoddart, who now works at Northwestern University, US, developed a(n) 26)_________ known as “rotaxanes”, which meant that a ring of atoms could move around an axle.And just like a car, the molecular machine needs a(n) 27)________ to run. So in xx, Feringa, of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, became the first person to create a(n) 28)_________ molecular motor powered by electricity.But what is the use of a machine so small that we can’t even see it? According to scientists, the machines can benefit various fields like the creation of new materials and medical treatment methods.“There are 29)___________ opportunities,” Feringa told Reuters. “Think of a tiny micro-robot that a doctor in the future will inject into your blood and it will go to search for a cancer cell or 30)__________ a drug, for instance.”III. Cloze (12%)When it es to makers of nature documentaries, ___31___ are better than French directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud. ___32___ the names don’t ring a bell, you might be familiar with at least one of their masterpieces –– Microcosmos, Winged Migration and Oceans.Seasons is their latest nature film. After ___33___ the micro world, the sky and the sea, this time they have turned their attention to the land that we humans live on and the animals we ___34___ this land with. Through their lenses, we get to see up-close shots of ___35___ like baby bears learning to climb trees and cute owls looking out of tree holes.In fact, this year is ___36___ a boom in nature documentaries. Now, 10 years since the highly successful Planet Earth (xx) series, the BBC is finally releasing a sequel, Planet Earth II. Oscar-winning actor and longtimeenvironmental ___37___ Leonardo DiCaprio has also co-produced a film about climate change, Before the Flood, which is going to be released on Oct 21 in the US.Technology may be one of the reasons, since shooting a nature film used to be ___38___ and dangerous. Photographers sometimes have to wait in the wild for hours just for the ___39___ animal to show up, and they may even have to risk their lives to capture a hunting scene.Now things are getting easier. For example, the Planet Earth team developed a new camera system. It allows cameras to stay stable even when they are placed on ___40___ or a running animal. This means that photographers are able to get a clear shot even from a distance away.The reality that Earth is faced with increasing environmental problems has also played a part in the ___41___ of nature films. In fact, this can be seen from the changes in Perrin’s storytelling.I n Seasons, Perrin’s poetic storytelling turns ___42___ and contains warnings about the dangers of humans turning their backs on nature.“The film reinforces the idea that man versus nature is an unnecessary idea, as we’re part of what we’re destroying,” wrote Lee Marshall onfilm review site ScreenDaily.31.

But as a travel destination, Iceland is on top of the world.43)____________________________. As the Today website put it, “It is as if nature chose Iceland to be its shop window to … remind humanity that nature is still the unstoppable force.”44) As the world was reminded when the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted six years ago, Icelan d is a country “still in the making, and few other places offer the same opportunities to see the Earth in action”, mented National Geographic magazine.45) Ice is Iceland’s other big attraction ––to be exact, the huge glaciers which travel toward the coast, making strange pools of water.44)_______________________________________.46) On Sept 28, the country’s capital Reykjavik decided to turn off all streetlights for an hour at night to give people a unique chance to enjoy the northern lights. 45) “___________________ ”, travel guidebook publisher Lonely Planet noted.47) 46)__________________________. Iceland has a higher percentage of writers in its population than any other country in the world. And it is not surprising that the country publishes more books per person than any other country in the world, reported the NPR radio station.Iceland has been the birthplace of important literary works and authors –from the Vikings’ Iceland sagas to author Halldór Laxness, winner of the 1955 Nobel literature Prize.48)“T he beast is Iceland, with its harsh nature and its bitter, ever-changing weather. We cannot escape it,” Haraldur Jonsson, an Icelandic artist, told The Observer newspaper while describing his inspiration. “So we find ways to live with it. We have to have a rich life to fill the empty spaces.”V.

ASavlour of the lost〔Singapore〕When she was young, Nicole Ling was frightened of cats．That all changed when a sick lost kitten wandered into her life．Ling, 19, overcame her fears and took the ill animal to the vet〔兽医〕. When she realized the kitten would be must likely to be killed to stop suffering, Ling was heart-broken.Now 43, Ling has fought Singapore’s practice of gathering lost animals by rescuing and rehoming countless cats for over 20 years,taking a maximum 15 at a time, rehoming some of them first, and keeping the rest for herself.Millionaire street cleaner〔China〕What matters most to Yu Youzhen, a wealthy laudlord from Wuhan City, China, is not the money that she’s made from wise building investments, but that her children can learn from her example.“I want to be a role model for my children,〞 Mrs. Yu told the Wuhan Evening News. “I don’t want to sit around idly and eat up my fortune.〞 So, six days a week, she starts work at 3 a. m and works for six hours.Teaching maths in a colorful classroom〔South Africa〕Maths teacher Wendy Lovett knows how to get kids interested in her subject. In 2021, Lovett went from the UK to South Africa to work at the Center of Science and Technology〔COSAT〕.When she arrived, the walls of her classroom were plain and boring. Her solution was to paint colorful shapes and graphs on the walls, and engage the students by getting them to make three-dimensional paper shapes hung from the ceiling. The result? An inspiring place to learn. The interest in maths changed overnight.1. How did Ling get over her fear of cats?A. By looking after a sick lost cat．B. Byrealizing cats would be killed．C. By rescuing and rehoming many cats．D. Byreceiving a treatment from the vet．2. Why did the students interest in maths change so quickly?A. Their teacher came from the UK．B. Their teacher had enough teaching experience．C. Their teacher changed the walls of the classroom．D. Their teacher inspired their interest to learn．3. What do the three stories tell us?A. Women can do something better than men．B. Everyone can dosomething for others．C. Receiving is more valuable than giving．D. Strongwill can make a person great．BEach of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. Butall too often we convey to our children either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance meets our approval〔赞许(zànxǔ)〕.Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. He seldom finished his workbecause he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake.I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothingchanged until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included her. But even enthusiastic, loving Mary was baffled by this little boy who feared he might make a mistake.Then one morning we were working math problems. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left this children with Mary. But when I returned, Donnie was in tears. He’d missed the third problem. Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister〔小筒〕filled with pencils. “Look, Donnie,〞she said. “I’ve got something to show you.〞She removed the pencils and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?〞she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? That’s because we make mistakes too. Lots of them! But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.〞She kissed him and continued: “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll remember that everybody makesmistakes, even teachers.〞 Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer〔少许(shǎoxǔ)〕of a smile.The Pencil became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Anne’s frequent encouragement and praise for even Donnie’s small successes, gradually persuaded him that it’s all ri ght to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.4. Why did Donnie rarely finish his work?A.Because he seldom answered those difficult questions.B. Because he never did his work until the very last minute.C. Because he couldn’t work toge ther with his classmates.D. Because he spent too much time checking his answers.5. The word “baffled〞 in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.A. encouragedB. impressedC. satisfiedD. confused6. Which of the following words best describe Mary Anne as she is shown in the article?A. Creative and modest.B. Patient and inspiring .C. Determined and strict .D. Considerate and proud.7. The story was written mainly to___________.A. give a life lesson about failureB. sing the praises of Mary AnneC. tell us who influenced Donnie greatlyD. show us how to use erasersCEvery year during the graduation famous people will talk to thousands of students and their parents. But this time something strange has happened. Each of the big-name speakers seems to speak of the same topic; they are all telling graduates to make the world a better place.So there was Arianna Huffmgton at Smith College saying: “what I advise you to do is not just take your place at the top of the world, but to change the world.〞 The actress Kerry Washington told students at George Washington University: “The world needs your voice, every one of you.〞 And then this, from Jeff Immelt, head of General Electric, at the Univ ersity of Connecticut: “Graduates should be optimistic; believe in better. The world waits for your power.〞Anyone can know what the famous speakers said is meaningless. The world has 7 billion voices to listen to already. It won’t matter about one more or less. Neither is it clear why graduates should be especially optimistic, especially at the moment. The world doesn’t wait for their power; only a small number of people will get the chance to lead anything.Only Barack Obama in his address at Morehouse College avoided encouraging anyone to change the world. That is because he alone knows how hard it is to change it, even if you happen to be the President of the United States. Not only has he failed to change the world, he can’t even get people to give up g uns in his own country.Instead of aiming so impossibly high, the graduates of 2021 would do better to start a bit lower. When they leave their universities they will not “Hello world!〞but “Hello again, Mum and Dad!〞 So what Ms Huflington, Mr. Obama and Mr. Immelt ought to have said was: Change the world if you must, but it would be nice if you could help out by changing the bag in the rubbish basket first.They should then have followed up with the importance of hard work. Graduates need to change their employment attitude. They need jobs. Sadly on commencement addresses(毕业典礼) no one tells themthat even a bad job is better than none at all.8. What does the author argue in the third paragraph?A. The world has 7 billion voices to listen to.B. the words that the famous speakers said have no meaning.C. The world doesn’t wait for graduates’ leadership.D. Graduates should be especially optimistic.9. Why did Barack Obama avoid encouraging the graduates to change the world?A. Because he knew changing the world was not easy.B. Because he thought the world was already perfect.C. Because he didn’t get Americans to give up guns.D.Because he is the president of America.10. What is the author’s attitude towards what big-name speakers said?A. SupportiveB. SurprisedC. NegativeD. Respectful11. What might be difficult for the graduates according to the author?A. Changing their life attitude.B. Saying “Hello〞 again to their parents.C. Getting a good job with a high pay.D. Changing the bag in the rubbish basket.DStarting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure(血压(xuèyā)) under control, research suggests. Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs．The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showedthat when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes(酶), they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more workis needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body．Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contraryto popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs haslittle effect on increasing heart disease risks．Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said: “The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high bloodcholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggsthey eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.〞The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limitin 2021. However, almost half of Britains believe the limit still applies．12. From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are__________．A. a kind of illnessB. a kind of proteinC. a kind of medicineD. a kind of food13. According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs__________．A. can be included in a healthy dietB. have no effect on blood cholesterolC. are the most nutritious foodD. are forbidden to be eaten in the UK14. We can infer from the text that_________．A. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggsB. about 50% of Britains think eating more than three eggs a week is bad for their healthC. most Britains agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be droppedD. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases15. The text is meant_________．A. to introduce a medicine made from eggsB. to introduce scientific findings about eggsC. to tell people how to lower their blood pressureD. to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible第二节 (一共(yīgòng)5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

B．He was a respectable person.C．He was treated as a family member.D．He was fully trusted by the family. 27．Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B．It has been driven out of the market.C．Its service is getting poor.D．It is forbidden by law.28．Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A．He missed the good old days. B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.C．He needed it for his milk bottles. D．He planted flowers in it.CUnlike produce such as peaches or bananas, strawberries begin to decline as soon as they are picked. Scientists have been working on a special protection that delays spoilage by slowing water loss and oxidation (氧化(yǎnghuà)).Every fruit and vegetable breathes. Once a piece of produce is picked from a tree or plant, it continues to breathe, aging slowly, until it begins to break down. Microorganisms then move in, causing it to spoil. Refrigeration can delay the process, but only so much.Some scientists now think they can make your bananas, avocados, and other fresh produce last up to twice as long by delaying spoilage. Apeel, a start-up in Santa Barbara, California, has created a way to remove lipids from several popular crops and transform each type into a powder. Dissolved in water and applied to fruits or vegetables, it forms an edible(可食用的) barrier to lock moisture in and microorganisms out.Farmers can apply a version of the solution in the field, or distributors can use the rinse (冲洗(chōngxǐ)) on the packing line, extending a fruit’s shelf life by days or even weeks. The FDA recognizes the process as safe, and earlier this year it was approved for use on organic produce.Giving shoppers more time with their fresh food is one purpose. But Apeel’s higher goal is to fight food waste and reduce the number of refrigerated trucks and ships that race between fields and stores to deliver food at its peak. The technology can also allow more crops to be delivered to more places farther and farther from where they’re grown. “You can imagine a world without seasonality of fresh produce,〞says James Rogers, Apeel’s CEO and a materials scientist.In the meantime, who couldn’t use a few extra days before that fruit in thefridge starts to mold?29. What has the company, Apeel, invented?A. A strategy to fight food waste by mixing fruits or vegetables with crops.B. A solution to get rid of what causes fresh fruits or vegetables spoil.C. A method to remove crop lipids and change them into nutritious powder.D. A way to lock moisture in and microorganisms out by forming an ediblebarrier.30. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Fruits and vegetables picked from trees can go bad easily without anyprotection.B. Scientists are aimed at a new way to prevent fresh produce from moldingsoon.C. Farmers and distributors can use what Apeel has created but it provesunsafe.D. Shoppers are among those who can benefit a lot from Apeel’s new idea.31. What do James Rogers’s words mean?A. Every fruit and vegetable will stay fresh all year around in the future.B. The food fresh keeping technology contributes to long-distancetransporting.C. You can get any fresh produce in any season in the future.D. You can use the fridge to store the fresh produce for a longer time.DMrs Smith trembled with excitement when she was told her fortunes. “Somebody is coming home to you,〞Mrs Gray said slowly. “He’s carrying a rifle on his back and he’s almost there.〞Mrs Smith felt as if she could hardly breathe. “And there he is!〞 Mrs Gray cried, pointing to the road. They all rushed to the door to look.A man in a blue coat, with a gun on his back, was walking down the road toward the Smith farm. His face was hidden by a large pack on his back. Laughing and crying, Mrs Smith grabbed her hat and her children and ran out of Mrs Gray’s house. She hurried down the road after him, calling his name and pulling her children along with her. But the soldier was too far away for her voice to reach him.When she got back to their farm, she saw the man standing by the fence. He was looking at the little house and the field of yellow wheat. The sun was almost touching the hills in the west. The cowbells rang softly as the animals moved toward the barn (畜棚).“How peaceful it all is,〞 Private Smith thought. “How far away from the battles, the hospitals, the wounded and the dead. My little farm in Wisconsin. How could I have left it for those years of killing and suffering?〞Trembling and weak with emotion, Mrs Smith hurried up to her husband. Her feet made no sound on the grass, but he turned suddenly to face her. For the rest of his life, he would never forget her face at that moment.“Emma!〞 he cried.The children stood back watching their mother kissing this strange man. He saw them, and kneeling down, he pulled from his pack three huge red apples. In a moment, all three children were in their father’s arms. Together, the family entered the little unpainted farmhouse.Later that evening, after supper, Smith and his wife went outside. The moon was bright, above the eastern hills. Sweet, peaceful stars filled the sky as the night birds sang softly, and tiny insects buzzed in the soft air.His farm needed work. His children needed clothing. He was no longer young and strong. But he began to plan for next year. With the same courage he had faced the war, Private Smith faced his difficult future.32.why could Mrs Smith hardly breathe when told her fortunes?A. She had a sudden heart attack and almost lost consciousness.B. She was shocked by the scene of a man with a rifle on his back.C. She was overjoyed on hearing the return of her husband.D. She ran out of the house too fast to catch her breath.33 .What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 7 suggest?A. The moment expected for years would be a life-long memory.B. He had almost forgotten her face after those years’ suffering.C. He was shocked by the excitement written on her face.D. He was afraid to be apart from her again.34. What’s Private Smith’s attitude towards the future life?A. Skeptical.B. Confused.C. Hopeful.D. Concerned.35 . Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. An Unexpected VisitorB. Husband and WifeC. The Return of a PrivateD. The Smiths第二节 (一共5小题；每一小(yī xiǎo)题2分，满分是10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

Throughout the day, rumors (传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department.My boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting back,” he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to s ay.I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job!At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off was than this poor woman.I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to cal l her next time you’re looking for work …”24. How did the author feel on that rainy day?A. Nervous.B. Excited.C. Awkward.D. Proud.25. What was the author asked to do?A. Take care of patients.B. Leave earlier that day.C. Resign from the hospital.D. Help the laid-off workers.26. How did the author help the Cookie Lady?A. He offered her a high-paid job.B. He gave her advice on job hunting.C. He made her story known to others.D. He taught her how to pass an interview.27. What does the story tell us?A. Good deeds have their rewards.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. Little people can make a big difference.D. Love brings more joy to people than work does.CAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds —nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best munication is when you do n’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a plex of difference, it’s hard to establish mon understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a mon life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contrast, when ther e’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.28.

Now, substitute the Internet for water and electricity. Would you still be upset? According to the latest analysis from the City, more than a hundred thousand residents do not have access to the Internet at home.Almost two years ago, CivicMakers began organizing munity events to close the digitaldivide and bring a public broadband network to San Francisco. Yet the problem still hasn’t been solved. “High-speed broadband is not a luxury… It’s a necessity. Broadband Internet service has steadily bee a core(核心)tool and is now taking its place alongside water and electricity,” according to the White House.America is the birthplace of the Internet, yet we’re falling behind nationally and globally.According to the report, each San Franciscan only needs to pay up to $26 for high-speed Internetvia a Public-Private partnership model. Or under a purely public, it is estimated that the Citywould pay $393.7 million in construction costs and $103.2 million in annual costs.If any city can solve this problem, it’s San Francisco. We should be a model for others andwe should build for the future. We have led the charge on equal rights, access to healthcare andpressing environmental issues. It is time that we should provide the infrastructure(基础设施)to all residents to pete in our modern economy. Those who cannot afford this basic right should be offered a hand to lift them up.I believe like many of you that Internet access is a basic economic right. It’s not a nice thingto have; it’s a must to have. It’s time for us to open the door for all San Franciscans to thrive(兴盛).32. How did the author put forward the topic of the passage?A.
