AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports andgroup gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socializing with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music worldAlma’s operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “I n my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia andthe other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “Of course I have to work hard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children’s rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.”Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A. She comes from a famous musical family.B. She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C. She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D. She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25. How did Alma get to be widely known?A. Through an online videoB. By performing on televisionC. By putting on an operaD. Through her parents’ promotion26. What is Alma’s attitude towards her success?A. She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B. She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C. She is modest about her musical achievementsD. She is proud to have become a professional musician.27. What can we infer about Alma’s parents?A. They are very well-educated people.B. They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. ConfusingB. ReliableC. StableD. Variable30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A. There are more goods for people to choose from.B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31. What is the author’s o pinion about the introduction of new technology?A. It does not have an effect on most people’s jobs.B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’ milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared to conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good co ws’milk alternatives available to consumers.32. The underlined word "those" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.A. alternativesB. peopleC. productsD. reasons33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A. their deep concern for the environmentB. their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves PlanetC. Fresher Milk, Better FutureD. Making Milk without Cows第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Being mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home． But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may helppeople better cope with them by leaving them at work, where________ belong．Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co﹣author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida’s College of Business．The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories． The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night’s sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home．“When you’re tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself．” says co﹣author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University．Physical activity seems to ________ poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors．“This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, ”she says．Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality． But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it．It’s not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with．（1）What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to________？A.Loved people at home．B.Negative emotions．C.Different work pressures．D.More exercise and sleep．（2） Who will most probably behave angrily to family members？________A.A person who is easy to get tired．B.A person who often goes to the gym to work out．C.A person who is always treated badly by coworkers．（3）The underlined word “counterbalance” in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaningto________．A.make use of B．C.keep up with D．（4） What can we learn from the text？________A.Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality．B.How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers．C.Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors．D.The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper．【答案】BCDD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了新的研究表明，更多的运动和睡眠可以帮助人们更好地应对在工作中受到虐待【解答】（1）B．细节理解题．根据文章 But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work， where they belong可知但一项新的研究表明，更多的运动和睡眠可以帮助人们更好地应对他们；意为消极的情绪；故选B．（2）C．细节理解题．根据文章Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work可知总是受到同事虐待的人最可能会对家人生气；故选C．（3）D．细节理解题．根据文章Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep，Barber says， because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors可知巴伯说，体力活动似乎能抵消睡眠不足的影响，因为它能促进正常调节情绪和行为所需的健康大脑功能；意为弥补，抵消；故选D．（4）D．细节理解题．根据文章But， she says， making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it可知我们能从课文中学到员工燃烧的卡路里量会影响发脾气的频率；故选D．4.

building．Two web security experts hacked （侵入） into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system （BMS）． One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn’t learn． Once you understand how the system works, it is very simple．"They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building． In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found．According to Mr． Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50, 000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection． Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, “It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all the time．”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that controlheating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network． There wasa strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq．Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says．“It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, ”he adds．But it also makes them less secure． And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again．（1）How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building？________A.They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building．B.They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked．C.They used Google’s BMS to find out the owner of the building．D.They connected their own software to the building to run Google．（2）In the case of the Google hacking， the researchers had the intention of________．A.analyzing some immoral problems．B.explaining the reasons for energy savings．C.entering Google’s building to sav e more energy．D.telling Google about the Wharf 7 office’s hidden danger．（3）What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4？________A.There are many researchers contributing a lot to web security．B.The building management systems of some buildings are in danger．C.The attack on building management systems happens all over the world．D.There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well．（4）What is the author’s attitude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings？________A.Negative． C.Indifferent D．【答案】CDBA【考点】完形综合阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道类阅读，文章主要介绍了Google公司是世界最大的数据贮存公司及搜索引擎公司．它有一些不同之处，【解答】（1）C．细节理解题．根据“Two web security experts hacked （侵入） into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney， Australia through Googles

They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one‘s watching.The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brothertrained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. "I know how it feels, "Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this, you can’t do that. "When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can't”The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it's callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it, if he's having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, ‘Why can't I do that?” Callari said. “That's the whole task right now.”Callari recalls parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he's also the one who's learning24. Why was Callari asked to train Parker?A. They shared the same interests.B Parkers parents had faith in Callari.C. Callari took place of his absent colleague,D Callari was an expert in Down syndrome25. What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school?A. He was good at sports.B. He was out of condition.C. He was looked down upon by everyoneD. He was influenced deeply by his brother26. What attitude does Callari have to Parker?A. Grateful B Sympathetic. C. Cautious D. Critical27. What is the text mainly about?A. An inspiring story of a disabled boyB. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainerD. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndromeCBeing mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night's sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home. "When you're tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself." says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality. But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it. It's not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with.28. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Loved people at home B Negative emotions.C. Different work pressures. D More exercise and sleep29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A. A person who is easy to get tired.B. A person who often goes to the gym to work outC. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.D A person who often argues with colleagues30. The underlined word "counterbalance" in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaning toA. make use ofB. take control ofC. keep up with D make up for31. What can we learn from the text?A. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.DGoogle, one of the world's outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building.Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn't learn. Once you understand how the system works，it is very simple.”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.According to Mr. Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all thetime.”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says. "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, "he adds.But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again.32. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building?A. They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building.B. They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.C. They used Google's BMS to find out the owner of the building.D. They connected their own software to the building to run Google.33. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention ofA analyzing some immoral problemsB. explaining the reasons for energy savingsC. entering Google's building to save more energyD. telling Google about the Wharf 7 office's hidden danger34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. There are many researchers contributing a lot to web securityB. The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.C. The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.D. There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well35. What is the author’s at titude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?A. Negative. B Ambiguous C. Indifferent D Favorable.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Ifs no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world—but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes.Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed.Additionally,they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout,says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people,individual or non-competitive activities like biking,running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an4t all or nothing approach71to exercise.This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan,not to mention being super competitive.However,this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine,which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results,Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress.They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan,which prevents them from seeing results.They are often less willing to deVote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious.Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments,so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember,there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics.Just keep in mind what you like.21.Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A.They will feel like they are being evaluated.B.They don't like socialising with other people.C.They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D.They fear they511be let down by their teammates.22.Type A personalities can be best described as_.mittedB.flexibleC.independentD.sensitive23.What is the purpose of the text?A.To help people understand what personality type they are.B.To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits.C.To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise.D.To describe diflcrent types of workouts that are available today.typical pre-teen.She loves to skip rope,read and play with her younger sister.But this modest youngster,who composed her first musical work at age six,first short opera at age seven,and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten,is anything but average.Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent,young Alma is being described as"little Mozart"by the music world.Alma's operatic take on the classic fairy tale,which she began writing at age eight,has a slight twist.Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song.t4In my Cinderella,she sings the beginning of a ballad—but at midnight she flees.Eventually,the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.^^ The opera was first performed in Vienna,Austria on December29,2016,where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works,one in Austria and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young,Alma is not worried.She says,"Of course1have to work hard.But all children have to work hard for exams,and at least when I work hard,I work hard for something incredibly exciting,like seeing my whole opera put on stage."Alma's musical talent first came to light before she could even talk.Her parents recall that as an18-month-old toddler,she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children's rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However,Alma's abilities only gained international attention in2012,after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart.The family was suddenly swamped with media requests and Alma became an overnight star,dubbed/'little Mozart".This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl.They would instead prefer her to be called“a composer and musician^^.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either,saying,'There was only one Mozart,and I prefer to be little Alma."Regardless of what she calls herself,the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24.What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A.She comes from a famous musical family.B.She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C.She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D.She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25.How did Alma get to be widely known?A.Through an online video.B.By performing on television.C.By putting on an opera.D.Through her parents*promotion.26.What is Alma's attitude towards her success?A.She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B.She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C.She is modest about her musical achievements.D.She is proud to have become a professional musician.27.What can we infer about Alma's parents?A.They are very well-educated people.B.They are protective of their daughter.C.They have pushed Alma to take up music.D.They have made a good life plan for Alma.cThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away.Despite evidence to the contrary,we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before.But this is nothing new.People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever have happened in history.In the1930s,the British economist（经济学家）John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spent most of their time doing nothing.In the United States during the1960s,the government repeatedly investigated fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available.In1988,one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within10years because of computers.Of course,none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom,the United States and Australia,or anywhere else.Yet today,we are seeing the return of these predictions,with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change.They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available,or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is little evidence to support such beliefs.Statistics show that the percentage of people in work,the number of hours they work,and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past20years.This stability should not come as a surprise.There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work.New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story.What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies.With the introduction of these technologies,goods and services can be produced faster,which results in higher real incomes for workers.Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them.Additionally,while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers,they will also increase demand for other types of workers,especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So,the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past.But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction,to reduce people's fears.28.What is the function of the second paragraph?A.To explain the importance of developing new technology.B.To show how technology affected employment in the past.C.To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29.How can employment statistics over the past20years best be described?A.Confusing.B.Reliable.C.Stable.D.Variable.30.According to paragraph7,why does demand for products often increase after new technology isintroduced?A.There are more goods for people to choose from.B.There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C.Productivity improvements help raise workers*salaries.D.Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31.What is the author's opinion about the introduction of new technology?A.It does not have an effect on most people's jobs.B.Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C.It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.__Supermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk,including soy,nut, and coconut milk.These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows'milk for health reasons,as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability.While the dairy-free（非乳制的）options work well with cereal or in coffee,they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt.However,these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past,thanks to a new company in California,which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in2014after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows'milkalternatives,particularly for cheese.For Gandhi,who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns,the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza.Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some^really bad" dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products.In their university lab,the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast（酵母）.This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins.The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier,has a longer shelflife and,most important of all,is Earth friendly.According to the company's website,when compared to conventional milk production,their process uses65%less energy,creates84%less greenhouse gas emissions and requires91%less land and an amazing98%less water!Best of all,since it contains real milk proteins,the product behaves like the cow-produced version,which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows'milk alternatives available to i32.The underlined word"those"in paragraph1refers to_______.A.alternativesB.peopleC.productsD.reasons33.The company^founders were motivated to make the new product because of______.A.their deep concern for the environmentB.their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC. the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD.the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34.What can be inferred from paragraph4?A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B.The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C.

She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work af age six. first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average・Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as "little Mozart'" by the music world.Alma's operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her C inderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song・ **ln my Cinder 11 a, she sings the beginning of a ballad— but at midnight she flees ・ Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad."The opera was first perfbnned in Vienna, Austria on December 29, 2016, where the then clcvcn-ycar-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, one in Austria and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young. Alma is not worried・ She says, "Of course I have to work hard・ Bui all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when 1 work hard, 1 work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage/'Ahna's musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Iler parents recall that as an 18-nionth-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children s rhyme 7\vinkle Twuikle Little Sian However, Alma's abilities only gained intcniational attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requests and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed "little Mozart M. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. I hey would instead prefer her to be called "a composer and musician'1・Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, "There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma."

In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigated fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available・ In 丨98& one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers・Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdoin. the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, wc arc seeing the remm of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change・ They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or arc bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is little evidence to support such beliefs・ Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours lhey work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise・There arc good reasons why wc should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work・ New tcchnohgies always cauj>c job losses, but that is only part of the story.

These products arc popular with consumers who cannot drink cows' milk for health reasons, as well as with [hose concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free (非乳制的)options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk・based products like cheese or yogurt・ However, these shoncomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory?Pcrumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows' milkalternatives, particularly for cheese・ For (iandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza・ Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some ^really bad" dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich・The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided （o join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products・ In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast （酵母）.This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins.

According to the company's website, when compared to conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84% less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow・p「oduccd version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there arc already numerous good cows' milk alternatives available to consumers ・32・The underlined word “those" in paragraph 1 refers to.A.alternativesB. people C・ products D. reasons33.The company's founders were motivated to make the new product because of ___________ ・A・ lheir deep concern for the environmentB.ihcir worry that farm animals were poorly ircaiedC・ the over-consumption of the dairy -based products【）.the poor taste of dairy・fircc cheese presently available34.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B.The new products will taste better than dairy・bascd ones・C.Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage・D.The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow's milk.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Healthier CheeseB.New Milk Saves PlanetC.Fresher Milk, Better FutureD.Making Milk without Cows笫二节（共5小题;每小题2分・满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文麻的选项中选出能填入空白处的讯件选项。

AIt’s no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world-but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes. Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed. Additionally, they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout, says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people, individual or non- competitive activities like biking, running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an “all or nothing approach” to exercise. This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan, not to mention being super competitive. However, this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine, which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results, Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress. They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan, which prevents them from seeing results. They are often less willing to devote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxiousType B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments, so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember, there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics. Just keep in mind what you like.21. Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A. They will feel like they are being evaluated.B. They don't like socialising with other people.C. They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D. They fear they'll be let down by their teammates.22. Type A personalities can be best described asA. committed B flexible C independent D. sensitive23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To help people understand what personality type they areB. To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habitsC. To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exerciseD. To describe different types of workouts that are available todayBAt first sight, Alma Deutscher, a twelve-year-old girl from England appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average.

Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song. “I n my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad --- but at midnight she flees.

The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried.

They are protective of their daughter.C. They have pushed Alma to take up music.D. They have made a good life plan for Alma.CThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away. Despite evidence to the contrary, we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before. But this is nothing new. People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever happened in history.In the 1930s, the British economist(经济学家) John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spend most of their time doing nothing. In the United States during the 1960s, the government repeatedly investigates fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available. In 1988, one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within 10 years because of computers.Of course, none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, or anywhere else.Yet today, we are seeing the return of these predictions, with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change. They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available, or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is a little evidence to support such beliefs. Statistics show that the percentage of people in work, the number of hours they work, and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past 20 years.This stability should not come as a surprise. There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work. New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story. What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the useof new technologies. With the introduction of these technologies, good and services can be produced faster, which results in higher real incomes for workers. Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them. Additionally, while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers, they will also increase demand for other types of workers, especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So, the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past. But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction, to reduce people's fears.28. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To explain the importance of developing new technology.B. To show how technology affected employment in the past.C. To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29. How can employment statistics over the past 20 years best be described?A. ConfusingB. ReliableC. StableD. Variable30. According to paragraph 7, why does demand for products often increase after new technology is introduced?A. There are more goods for people to choose from.B. There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C. Productivity improvements help raise workers’ salaries.D. Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31. What is the author’s opinion about the introduction of new technology?A. It does not have an effect on most people’s jobs.B. Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C. It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.D. Its danger to peoples employment possibilities is overstated.DSupermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk, including soy, nut, and coconut milk. These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows’ milk for health reasons, as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability. While the dairy-free(非乳制的) options work well with cereal or in coffee, they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt. However, these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a new company in California, which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in 2014 after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows’milk-free alternatives, particularly for cheese. For Gandhi, who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns, the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza. Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some “really bad” dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwichThe two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products. In their university lab, the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast(酵母). This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins. The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy-free milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier, has a longer shelf life and, most important of all, is Earth friendly. According to the company’s website, when compared to conventional milk production, their process uses 65% less energy, creates 84%o less greenhouse gas emissions and requires 91% less land and an amazing 98% less water! Best of all, since it contains real milk proteins, the product behaves like the cow-produced version, which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows’ milk alternatives available to consumers.32. The underlined word "those" in paragraph 1 refers to_______.A. alternativesB. peopleC. productsD. reasons33. The company s founders were motivated to make the new product because of_______.A. their deep concern for the environmentB. their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD. the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34. What can be inferred from paragraph 4?A. The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B. The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D. The dairy-free milk will be more expensive than cow’s milk.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Healthier CheeseB. New Milk Saves PlanetC. Fresher Milk, Better FutureD. Making Milk without Cows第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
