"Whenever I tell people that fish have ears, they look at me like I’m mad," he says in a BBC film that examines the ways in which fish communicate.away. Studies also show that noise can hamper(妨碍) the development of some young fish, with some born abnormal and others failing to hatch at all.The professor Simpson, who recorded the communication of fish on Blue Planet II, said that fish talked to each other through a variety of different languages. Audible(听得见的) communication is key for fish while hunting as a group, to warn each other about the approach of the killer. Professor Simpson also said that there was a "full" orchestra of sounds from the communication of marine life but that this was being drowned out by human noise from boats, pile driving and the search of finding undeveloped oil and gas reserves.Professor Simpson said, "We are only now beginning to understand the full impact of man-made noise on fish and to assess impacts on how they communicate. But I’m sure that action can be taken to reduce man-made noise within 20 years. By learning to listen, we can help restore the natural acoustic conditions."28. Noise pollution affects the fish in many ways when lorries and trains pass over the bridges EXCEPT ________.A. makes some born abnormalB. masks the calling for mateC. prevents some being hatchedD. ruins fish hearing completely29. What does the underlined sentence probably mean in paragraph 5?A. All kinds of sounds mix together.B. The orchestra will be performed by the fish.C. Various sea animals talk with different languages.D. The sounds of the sea animals are better than the orchestra.30. What’s the attitude of the professor towards the future condition of the sea?A. Indifferent.B. Optimistic.C. Critical.D. Suspicious.31. What’s the best title for the text?A. Man-made Noise Hits Fish Lives.B. Sound Pollution Ruins Creatures.C. Marine Lives Are Valued by Experts.D. Sea Animals Are at the Risk of Dying out.DIn the late 1960s, the anthropologist(人类学家) Edmund Carpenter arrived in New Guinea armed with mirrors, video and Polaroid cameras, and a mission: to disrupt(扰乱) the minds of members of the Biami tribe, who had never seen full reflections or images of themselves. "After their first astonished response—coveting their mouths and ducking their heads—they stood frozen, staring at their images." Carpenter’s devices disturb that inner image, causing discomfort. But not for long. Within days, the villagers groomed(打扮) themselves openly before mirrors and began taking Polaroid shots of each other."It’s unclear if the Biami were really as unfamiliar with mirrors as Carpenter thought. But in any case, what’s striking isn’t how strange their reaction seems, but how relatable. You know how it feels when you make a pleasant remark in a lift, but nobody responds? Or when two people greeting each other misjudge whether to go for a handshake, hug or social kiss? That’s the same awkwardness: "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty," as Dahl defines it. Su ddenly, I see I’m viewed not as a friendly conversationalist, but as a strange person who talks in lifts.As awkwardness feels unpleasant, it’s natural to want to overcome it. Dahl’s initial motivation for writing her book A Theory of Awkwardness, was to get over her own. But after a journey through various awkward experiences, she makes a persuasive case for celebrating it. We live in an era with more opportunity than ever to improve the image we’re presenting, and more pressure than ever to do so. But awkwardness breaks that false appearance, exposing the imperfect life behind it. It creates aindicates that taking a friendlier attitude toward awkwardness might help us make the connections with people holding different opinions.32. How did New Guineans feel when they first saw themselves in the mirror?A. Curious about their looks.B. Satisfied with their images.C. Shocked at their reflections.D. Ashamed of their appearance.33. Which of the following awkwardness is "self-consciousness tinged with uncertainty"?A. You slip over just to the face of your girl in dream.B. You are caught cheating but get nothing in an exam.C. You are found standing in public with your trousers zip open.D. You’re refused when offering your seat to a s eemingly pregnant woman.34. What causes you to feel embarrassed from time to time?A. Seeking perfection.B. Not knowing anything novel.C. Avoiding pressure from others.D. Lacking courage to face some problems.35. What can be inferred to solve our awkwardness?A. Treat others in a friendly way.B. Connect with your friends regularly.C. Get ready to guard against any threat from others.D. Express yourself honestly with no defensive cover.第二节(共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Grutas are caves, and the Grutas de Loltún are among the biggest caves on the entire Peninsula.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D.

Victorian state schools will be banned from using facialrecognition technology in classrooms unless they have the ____41____ of parents,students and the Department of Education.Students may be justifiably horrified at the thought of being ____42____ as they move throughout the school during a day. But a roll marking system could be as simple as looking at a tablet or iPad once a day ____43____ being signed off on a paper roll. It simply depends on the implementation. Trials have already begun in independent schools and. up to 100 campuses across Australia. According to the developers, the technology promises to save teachers up to 25 hours a week by ____44____ the need for them to mark the roll at the start of every class. Many students now have smart phones that recognise faces right now. There are also ____45____ face recognition apps for Android phones and iPhones. So face recognition is already in our schools.And I argue that, like earlier technologies such as the motor vehicle and mobile phone, a strategy where adoption is managed to create the most good and least harm is appropriate. We shouldn’t simply ____46____ it.We are now in a golden age of face recognition. The main reason for rapid adoption is that recognition ____47____has improved significantly in recent years. The simple application of this technology proposed for schools is to collect the student roll call ____48___ for classes. This is a compulsory requirement imposed by the education department.However, ____49____ is often raised as an objection and this. issue can never be dismissed lightly.Objections are mostly based on the collection and distribution of the photos. But every school ____50____ photos. of their students already and schools have strict control over distribution. Such controls would necessarily be built into any school certified system. The only fundamental ____51____ of the process is whether a teacher or a computer recognizes the student.Face recognition technologies will become widely adopted across society over the coming years.Concerns over implementation and privacy may ____52____ adoption in some places, but the____53____ will come in and will change business practices right across the world once that happens.In short, this technology has the ability to free up our time and reduce the costs. As with all new technologies, of course, face recognition ____54____ reasonable concerns. Constructive policies and dialog are the preferred way forwardto gain the ____55____ benefit for society at large, and to make sure we do the least harm.4 1.

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)In university I had a part-time job at a shop that sold doughnuts and coffee. Situated on a block where several buses stopped, it served the people who had a few minutes to wait for their bus.Every afternoon around four o' clock, a group of schoolchildren would burst into the shop, and business would come to a stop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and pass on. But I didn't mind if the children waited for their bus inside. Sometimes I would hand out a bus: fare when a ticket went missing always repaid the next day. On snowy days I would give away some. doughnuts. I would lock the door at closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived.I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their lives - until one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four o’clock. He identified himself as the father of two of my favorites.I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home. Itmeans a lot that they can wait here and you keep an eye on them. When they are with the doughnut lady, I know they are safe. I told him it wasn't a big deal. and that I enjoyed the kids.So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark.Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children. They become, well,Doughnut Ladies. Like the men at the skating rink (# ж 5) who let my boys ring home; Or the busd river who drove my daughter to her stop at the end of the route at night but wouldn't leave until I arrived to pick her up; Or that nice police officer who took pity on my boys walking home in the rain when I was at work even though the phone rang all the next day with calls from curious neighbors. “Was that a police car I saw at your house last night?”That wasn't a police car. That was a Doughnut Lady.56. According to the passage, the author sometimes_________.A. called the children's parents to pick them upB. provided schoolchildren with warm sheltersC. did business with the children's help.D. sold bus tickets to the children57. By saying “ ... it wasn’t a big deal” (in paragraph 4) the author meant that________.A. she hadn't found it hard to get along with the childrenB. she hadn’t made a lot of money from the childrenC. she hadn’t spent p lenty of time with the childrenD. she hadn't done anything very significant58. According to the author, those who ________ are Doughnut Ladies.A. are always ready to help othersB. provide free doughnuts for the poorC. work in the doughnut store for a whileD. are curious about the happenings around59. The passage suggests that________.A. taking responsibility is a virtueB. devotion co-exists with rewardC. running a business requires skillsD. acts of kindness are never too small(B)We offer a full range of services to make your 'IKEAexperience more complete.Old Kitchen Removing ServiceAre you going to buy a brand-new kitchen in IKEA?

A travel brochure.B. A food magazine.C.A shopping guide.D. A science journal.(C)What do you remember about your life before you were three? Few people can remember anything that happened to them in their early years. Adults memories of the next few years also tend to be unclear. Most people remember only a few events usually ones that were meaningful and distinctive,' such as being hospitalized or the birth of a new baby.How might this inability to recall early experiences be explained? The passage of time does not account for it, adultshave excellent recognition of pictures of people who attended high school with them 35 years earlier. Another seemingly reasonable explanation that infants do not form enduring memories at this point in development also is incorrect, Children two and a half to three years old remember experiences that occurred in their first year, and eleven month olds remember some events a year later.However, three other explanations seem more promising. One involves physiological changes relevant to memory. Maturation of the frontal lobes (额叶) of the brain continues throughout early childhood, and this part of the brain may be critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that can be recalled later. Demonstrations of infants and very young children's long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earlier, such as reaching in the dark for objects, putting a bottle in a dolls mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a toy. The brain's level of physiological maturation may support these types of memories, but not ones depending on clear verbal descriptions.A second explanation involves the influence of the social world on children's language use.Hearing and tellingstories about events may help children store information in ways that will endure into later childhood and adulthood. Through hearing stories with a clear beginning, middle, and ending children may. learn to take out the idea of events in ways that they will be able to describe many years later. Consistent with this view parents and children increasingly engage in discussions of past events when children are. about three years old. However, hearing such stories is not sufficient for younger children to form enduring memories. Telling such stories to two year olds does not seem to produce long-lasting verbalizable memories.A third likely explanation for infantile memory loss involves mismatch between the ways in which infants encode information and the ways in which older children and adults recall it. Whether people can remember an, event depends critically on the fit between the way in which they earlier encoded the information and the way in which they later attempt to recall it. The better the person is able to reconstruct the perspective from which the material was encoded, the more likely that recall will be successful.63. In the discussion of children's inability to recall earlyexperiences, paragraph 2 serves to ________.A. argue that the assumptions in this part have been morethoroughly researched than the theories presented later in the passageB. explain why some theories about infantile memory lossare wrong before presenting ones more likely to be trueC. explain why infantile memory loss is well worth theefforts of researchers both now and thenD. argue that events that are not proved by evidenceshould generally be considered unreliable64. What does paragraph 3 suggest about long-term memory in children?A. Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges than of long ones.B. Young children may form long- term memories of actionsthey see earlier than of things they hear or are told.C. Children long-term recall of motor activities increaseswhen such activities are accompanied by precise verbal descriptions.D. Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for the long-term memory of motoractivities but not verbal descriptions.65. According to paragraph 4, what role may telling stories to children play in forming their childhood memories?A. It may speed up the physiological maturing of the brain.B. It may help preschool children to recall the past quickly.C. It may bring about their memory recovery later.D. It may strengthen children' s verbal capacities.66. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. It shows how physical maturation affects the memory.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A problem shared can be a problem doubledPeople discuss their problems with friends in the hope that they 'll gain some idea on how to solve them. And even if they don't find a way to solve their problems, it feels good to let off some steam.Indeed, having close friends to trust is a good relief against poor mental health. (67)__________.The term psychologist's use for negative problem sharing is co-rumination. Co-rumination is the mutual encouragement to discuss problems too much, repeatedlygoing over the same problems, expecting future problems and focusing on negative feelings. It is more about keeping talking about problems than solving them. (68)__________. In a study involving children aged seven to 15 years of age,researchers found that co-rumination in both boys and girls is associated with high-quality and close friendships. However, in girls, it was also associated with anxiety and depression (the same association was not found with the boys).If we look at the theory behind why individuals ruminate, it may shed some light on why friends co-ruminate.(69)__________. So if two people believe rumination is beneficial, then working together to co-ruminate to find answers may seem like a useful thing to do, as two heads may appear better than one. But focusing on problems and negative emotion together can increase negative beliefs and moods- and result in a greater need to co-ruminate.Traditionally, therapy has not prioritised handling rumination or co-rumination directly as maintaining' factors in psychological problems. Instead, approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) have aimed to challenge only the content of rumination. Humanistic approaches such ascounselling have provided conditions to potentiallyruminate on the content of problems. And psychodynamic (心理动力) approaches such as psychoanalysis have aimed to analyze the content of rumination.(70)__________. But if this occurs in therapy, a strong therapeutic relationship may well be a positiveoutcome of co-rumination regardless of whether the client's symptoms improve or not.And, on the social side, discussing problems with friends doesn’t always ha ve to lead to worsening mental health, as long as the discussion involves finding solutions and the person with the problem acts on those solutions. Then, relationships can be positive and beneficial to both parties, and a problem shared can really be a problem halved.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Could you be flexitarian?What kind of food do you eat? Are you conscious of the types of food you consume? Although there is research on theright diet to follow to help us maintain a healthy lifestyle but it's hard to know which one to pick and, once chosen, it's harder still to stick to it. And now there's another choice for you.A flexitarian diet involves eating plant-based foods and only occasionally eating meat and fish.This is a lovely alternative to being a vegetarian by not completely resisting meat.This eating style allows you to supplement some ingredients that you wouldn't get in a stricter vegan (纯素) diet. And like veganism, flexitarianism isn't about eating carefully to help you lose a few pounds it's something people choose for ethical reasons, to help the planet. And a study into the global food system and how it affects the climate, has found that eating mainly plant-based foods is one of three key steps towards a sustainable future for all.This research found that food waste will need to be halved and farming practices will also have to improve to achieve this. But without a single solution, a combined approach is needed. Dr. Marco Springmann, one of the lead authors of the report argued "We really found that a combination of measures would be needed to stay withinenvironmental limits and those include changes towards healthier more plant-based diets.While vegans think it's wrong for animals to be killed for. food, flexitarians believe eating meat once in a while is. acceptable. And Dr. Springmann agrees as long as we treat it as a luxury, it's probably acceptable but you shouldn't have more. than one. serving of red meat, which includes beef and pork, per week." And here's another fact to digest: If we moved to this type of diet, the study found that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture would be cut by more than half.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.正是她那种急于求成的心态让她无缘决赛。

But the concept itself isn 't scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “ greenhouse gases ”g oes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth 's temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier 's ideas spreto be called “the greenhouse effect ”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “ might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings While Arrhenius ' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to findstrong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long -term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect —still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more carefulof what he wished for.4.What does the underlined word “it ” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5.When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6.W hat 's the author 's attitude towards Arrhenius wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci 'ms ost seems tolook back at observers, following them with heryes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledgeA new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that degrees off to the observer's right —well outside of the range that people normally believe when theythink someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person 凝视)in 's gaz a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect ” . absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as theangle of the person 's gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial -intelligence avatars ( 虚拟头像 ) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa ” and realized she wasn 't looking at him. To make sure it wasn 't just him, the researchers asked 24 peop to view images of the “Mona Lisa ” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn 't sure. It 's possibleh,e said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect ”jus t thought it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting“Mona Lisa ”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9.

Explorations on climateIt 'cso mmon mous painting rns outwrong.C.D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A.To confirm Horstmann ' s belief.B.To create artificial -intelligence avatars.C.To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa ' s gaze.D.To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11.What can we learn from the text?A.Horstmann thinks it ' s cool to coin the term “ Mona Lisa effect ”.B.The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C.Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers ' judgment.DSparrow is a fast -food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast - food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast -food chains wereunwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain 'osw ner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy 's restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers 'sp ending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast -food industry. The TVads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast -food chains in the regions where it operated.12.Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A.The number of its customers was declining.B.Its customers found the food unhealthy.C.It was in need of financial support.D.Most of its restaurants were closed.13.For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B.To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C.To learn about customers ' spending power.D.To meet the challenge from Marcy 's restaurants.14.What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A. They changed people 's views on pop stars.B.They amused the public with original songs.C.They focused on the superiority of its products.D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience.15.What was Pearson ' s achievement as a CEO?A. He managed to pay off Sparrow ' s debts.B.He made Sparrow much more competitive.C.He helped Sparrow take over a company.D.He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.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。

Over time organic farming became more difficult.The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply.Small companies had to sell out to large companies.There weren’t enough organic ingredients(原料),such as grain and cattle.This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business.Today,many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious?This is part ofthe debate.Many farmers and consumers believe it is.They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such ascancer.Many health professionals disagree.Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria(病毒),such as E.coli and salmonella.These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food.Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better.Is tastier food worth the extra money?This is a matter of opinion.Whether it is healthier or not may require more research.However,organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?
