That year,drivers in Luxembourg City spent an average of33hours in traffic jams.It fared worse than European cities Copenhagen and Helsinki,(27)__________have comparable population sizes to all of Luxembourg—yet drivers in both only spent an average of24hours in traffic.Park and rides around Luxembourg’s borders in the three neighboring countries,however,will encourage commuters to use free mass transit.Free transport for allLuxembourg’s public transport system covers the whole country and costs$562million per year to run.The government is putting up the cost of it free so that the people can benefit from the good economy.People still hold the concern(28)__________making transport free may unintentionally prevent people who would normally walk or cycle in urban areas.(29)____________________walking500meters,people see a bus coming and they say,“We can get on and travel500meters(30)__________it’s free”.However,the new scheme can signal important changes ahead when it comes to Luxembourg’s reliance on driving.The government might say,“It’s important that you throw away your car,and look,we made public transport free”—and maybe this is helpful given the enormous cultural shift we need.”Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you

night when almost everything went as planned and as usual,the one true surprise came in the biggest moment of all.For the first time ever,a film in a foreign language won Best Picture when Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite,a comedy-drama-thriller about class and secrets,took the big prize.Bong also won the awards for Best Director and Best OriginalScreenplay.He___31___three warm and generous speeches,including one when he won for his directing and thanked fellow nominees(被提名的人)Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino for inspiring him and contributing to the progress of his career,___32___.And,while he gave most of his speeches in Korean with interpreter Sharon Choi,when he won the first one,he stopped and noted in English:“This is very first Oscar to South Korea.”The affection in the room for the film was ___33___every time it was mentioned,as well as in its great competition of award.The evening began three and a half hours earlier with a(n)___34___of the old and the new:the kind of themed singing-dancing number that used to be the ___35___Oscars opening,but in the absence of a traditional host,it was performed by the thoroughly modern Janelle Monáe.A version of her own song Come Alive was___36___by dancers dressed in costumes showing respect to black filmmakers.The speech that followed,however,was much more___37___and unpleasant,despite the best efforts of Chris Rock and Steve Martin,the latter of whom___38___blew the name of best actress nominee Cynthia Erivo.The awards in general have been heavily criticized for how white the nominees are,the failure to nominate any women directors in a year when several made highly regarded films,and plenty of other lack of inclusivity.The Academy’s ___39___with that criticism seemed evident:There may not have been a lot of performers of color among the nominees, but there were a lot among the presenters and speakers and performers.Several presenters made mention of the___40___ at issue,which is the kind of thing that happens when people are placed in a situation they don’t want to ignore but also aren’t there to challenge too much.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Facial-Recognition Technology Cannot Read EmotionsDo not believe claims that facial-recognition technology can accurately identify people’s emotions,advised several scientists at the2020AAAS Annual Meeting in Seattle.Such claims that a photo of a face can be easily___41___are based on a flawed theory that we smile when we are happy and scowl(沉下脸)when angry,said Professor Aleix Martinez.“There’s no way that technology will ever be able to detect___42___that you’re experiencing following that approach,”Martinez said.Research shows that,on average,people scowl only30%of the time that they are angry,said Lisa Feldman Barrett, professor of psychology at Northeastern University.The rest of the time,they make other faces when they are angry,she said.___43___,people may scowl for other reasons—“when they’re concentrating,when someone tells them a bad joke,”she said.“Any AI that is claiming to detect a scowl and interpreting it as anger has some real___44___.”So much goes into communicating our emotions beyond our___45___movements.Other factors involving little use of language include our body pose,body movement and hormone responses like those that cause one’s face to go red from embarrassment or___46___,said Martinez.Martinez offered an example of the importance of having enough information.For instance,when he showed people a photo of a___47___man with his mouth wide open and his eyes nearly closed,most thought the man was extremely angry, his research showed.Yet anyone viewing the context—that the subject was a soccer player—could___48___that he was displaying excitement while celebrating a goal.A mistake like this may not matter much,but so-called emotion-recognition technology has a larger reach.Thetechnology’s___49___to incorporate facial movements could have serious,even dangerous outcomes,said Martinez.AI is sometimes used in classrooms,in the judicial(司法的)system and in hiring for jobs,he noted.Many of these systems learn from U.S.and European data___50___by white people.Such inputs could negatively impact,for instance,the hiring of candidates of other races,Martinez said.“I think we have to take seriously the___51___in which this AI is being used,”said Barrett.Seth Pollak,professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,shared research about the___52___of our ability to understand facial expressions and emotions.For several decades,scientists thought that infants arrived into the world with a little understanding about emotions,Pollak said.To the contrary,babies do not express___53___ emotions.They have a distress system that broadcasts whether they are OK or not.Children learn about emotions beyond good or bad,and research shows that even with incredibly brief levels of exposure to contextual information,very young children start to change how they___54___their inferences about other people’s emotions.“Human brains are actually able to___55___patterns and make inferences about what might be happening at a sophisticated computational level with actually very little experience.”he said.41.

A.take out B.bring out C.carry out D.figure outSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.“There’s a cyclone coming,Em,”he called to his wife.“I’ll go look after the stock.”Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door.One glance told her of the danger close at hand.“Quick,Dorothy!”she screamed.“Run for the cellar!”Toto jumped out of Dorothy’s arms and hid under the bed,andthe girl started to get him.Aunt Em,badly frightened,threw open the trap door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small,dark hole.Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt.When she was halfway across the room there came a great roar from the wind,and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.Then a strange thing happened.The house circled around two or three times and rose slowly through the air.Dorothy felt as if she were going up in a balloon.It was very dark,and the wind blew horribly around her,but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily.After the first few twists and turns,and one other time when the house tipped badly,she felt as if she were being rocked gently,like a baby in a cradle(摇篮).Toto did not like it.He ran about the room,now here,now there,barking loudly;but Dorothy sat quite still on the floor and waited to see what would happen.At last she crawled over the swinging floor to her bed,and lay down upon it;and Toto followed and lay down beside her.In spite of the swinging of the house and the crying of the wind,Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.56.What does the underlined word“cyclone”in paragraph2probably mean?A.deadlineB.floodC.monsterD.tornado57.Why did Aunt Em go into the hole in the floor when the cyclone approached?A.To find the puppy Toto.B.To find shelter from the cyclone.C.To protect their fortune.D.To get tools to help Henry.58.Which of the following is True about Dorothy?A.She managed to control the house.B.She found herself flying in a balloon.C.She turned baby crying loudly.D.She remained undisturbed with Toto.59.Which words can be used to describe Dorothy in the emergency?A.Afraid and brave.B.Curious and tired.C.Flexible and calm.D.Excited and thrilled.(B)The Apollo Missions"That's one small step for a man.One giant leap for mankind."—Neil ArmstrongApollo’s GoalsThe national effort that enabled Astronaut Neil Armstrong to speak thosewords as he stepped onto the lunar surface fulfilled a dream as old as humanity.Project Apollo’s goals went beyond landing Americans on the moon and returning them safely to Earth.Apollo13Apollo13has been called a“successful failure,”because the crew never landed on theMoon,but they made it home safely after an explosion crippled their ship.When theassociated heater was turned on during flight,the tank exploded depleting almost all ofthe power from the command module and forcing the crew to use the lunar module as alifeboat.Jim Lovell,Fred Haise and Jack Swigert came home safely thanks to the mission control team’s improvised procedures and their own ability to implement them.(Launch:April11,1970;splashdown:April17)Apollo14Notable for the return of America’s first astronaut,Alan Shepard,to space,Apollo14also was probably the smoothest lunar landing to that point.The crew spent more than nine hours outside the lunar module and set up a number of experiments.Shepard set a new distance record by walking more than9,000feet on the lunar surface,pulling a hand cart to carry their tools and samples(Launch:Jan.31,1971:lunar landing:Feb.5:splashdown,Feb.9)Apollo15For the first time,humans drove a car on the Moon.The first of the Apollo“J”Missions-designed for longer stays on the Moon—the mission carried a lunar rover,which Commander David Scott and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin used whilethey were on the surface for more than I8hours.They traveled more than17miles inthe rover,setting up experiments and collecting170pounds of samples.Beforeleaving the lunar surface,Scott conducted an experiment to test Galileo’s theory that objects in vacuum,without air resistance,would fall at the same rate.He dropped a geological hammer and a feather, which hit the ground at the same time,proving Galileo right.(Launch:July26,1971,lunar landing:July30:splashdown:Aug.7)60.Why has Apollo13been called a“successful failure”?A.Apollo13finally exploded as planned in space.B.All the crew succeeded in landing on the Moon.C.The crew managed to escape from a severe accident and returned to Earth.D.The crew finished the experiment although they failed to land on the Moon.61.Which of the following is True according to the passage?A.It took five days for Apollo14to reach the Moon.B.The lunar rover was used as a lifeboat for space travel.C.Shepard tested Galileo’s theory successfully on the Moon.D.Apollo15remained in space for the shortest period of time.62.Which of the following column is this article most likely to be found?A.Booming ScienceB.Exploring the UnknownC.Mechanical WorldD.Transforming Moon(C)The story of chocolate begins with the discovery of America in1492.Columbus was the first European to come intocontact with cacao.Columbus was struck by how much value the Indians placed on them as he did not know the beans were used by currency.It is unlikely that Columbus brought any of these beans back to Spain and it was not until about25 years later that Cortez grasped the commercial possibilities when he found the Aztecs using the beans to make the royal drink“chocolatl”.The Spanish,in general,were not fond of the bitter drink so Cortez and his followers made it more palatable by adding cane sugar and later cinnamon and vanilla were added.Spanish monks let the secret out back home and,although the Spanish hid it from their neighbors for a hundred years,finally chocolate’s popularity grew until it was their fashionable drink at the French court and the wise choice of customers at London meeting houses.The cacao tree is strictly a tropical plant only in hot,rainy climates.Thus,its cultivation is limited to countries not more than20degrees north or south of the equator(赤道).The cacao tree is very delicate and sensitive.It needs protection from the wind and requires a fair amount of shade under most conditions.This is true especially in its first two or three years of growth.A newly planted young cacao tree is often sheltered by a different type of trees.It is normal to plant food crops for shade such as bananas,plantain,coconuts or cocoyams.Rubber trees and forest trees are also used for shade. Once established,however,cacao trees can grow in full sunlight,provided there are fertile soil conditions and intensive farming.With cutting and carful cultivation,the trees of strains will begin bearing fruit in the fifth year.With extreme care, some strains can be stimulated to produce good crops in the third and fourth year.The process of turning cacao into chocolate hasn’t changed much since the Swiss made the major breakthroughs in the process in the late1800s.First the beans go through a process of fermentation(发酵)and drying.They are then sorted by hand before cleaning and then roasting.Winnowing(风扬)follows which removes the hard outer layers and leaves what is as the“grains”.A crushing and heating process known as Hunte’s Process is then used to remove nearly half of the cocoa butter from the nibs.This makes unsweetened chocolate.Basic eating chocolate is made from a mixture of the unsweetened chocolate with some of the cocoa butter along with other ingredients such as sugar and vanilla.The resulting product is then“purified”and this purifying gives chocolate the silky texture that we know so well.The finished result is then shaped, cooled,packaged by machine,distributed,sold and of course,eaten!63.Why didn’t Columbus bring beans back to Spain at once when he found cacao?A.Because he couldn’t afford to buy the cacao bean.B.Because he didn’t know how to turn cacao bean into chocolate.C.Because he was not aware of the monetary value of cacao bean then.D.Because Spaniards then didn’t favour the chocolate that the Aztecs originally drank.64.The underlined word“palatable”in paragraph2probably means.A.affordableB.agreeableC.patentD.portable65.Which of the following is correct about cacao tree?A.Cacao trees need a lot of looking after to be used commercially.B.Cacao trees require hot,rainy climates and adequate sunlight.C.Cacao trees won’t produce fruit until the fifth year.D.Cacao trees can grow well in all continents.66.Which is the correct order of turning cocoa into chocolate?①The chocolate is reheated to melt it,put into patterns and then cooled to make its final shapes.②The beans are harvested on the farm.③Some cocoa butter is then obtained using Hunte’s Process to make cooking chocolate.④The cooking chocolate is then mixed with other ingredients to make the various types of eating chocolate available today.⑤The beans are winnowed after fermentation and drying and these two processes produce the grains.⑥The finished product is wrapped,sent to shops and then sold.A.②①③④⑤⑥B.②③①⑤④⑥C.②④⑤①③⑥D.②⑤③④①⑥Section CDirections:Read the following passage.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.If nothing else,the work suggests the extraordinary skills of the dog.B.The dogs weren’t able to see or smell the difference between these objects.C.But dogs’thermal detection skills may not be useful for long distance hunting.D.Most mammals have naked,smooth skin on the tips of their noses around the nostrils(鼻孔).E.Dogs track prey“not by sight or sound or smell,but by some other and subtler sense”.F.Together,the two experiments show that dogs,like vampire bats,can sense weak hot spots.New sense discovered in dog noses:the ability to detect heatDogs’noses are amazing.Not only are they up to100million times more sensitive than ours,they can sense weak thermal radiation—the body heat of mammalian(哺乳动物的)prey,a new study reveals.The find helps explain how dogs with damaged sight,hearing,or smell can still hunt successfully.“It’s a fascinating discovery,”says Marc Bekoff,an expert on dog sniffing(嗅探).“It provides yet another window into the sensory worlds of dogs’highly evolved cold noses.”The ability to sense weak,radiating heat is known in only some animals:black fire beetles,certain snakes,and one species of mammal,the common vampire bat,all of which use it to hunt prey.67.But the tips of dogs’noses are moist,colder than the surrounding temperature,and richly endowed with nerves—all of which suggests an ability to detect not just smell,but heat.To test the idea,researchers at Lund University trained three pet dogs to choose between a warm(31°C)and a surrounding-temperature object,each placed1.6meters away.68.(Scientists could only detect the difference by touching the surfaces.)After training,the dogs were tested on their skill in double-blind experiments;all three successfully detected the objects emitting weak thermal radiation.Next,the researchers scanned the brains of13pet dogs of various breeds while presenting the dogs with objects emitting neutral or weak thermal radiation.The left somatosensory cortex in dogs’brains,was more responsive to the warm thermal stimulus than to the neutral one.The scientists identified a group of14voxels(体素)in this region of the dogs’left brains,but didn’t find any in the right,and none in any part of the dogs’brains in response to the neutral stimulus.69.Also,a specific region of their brains is activated by this infrared(relating to a type of light) radiation,the scientists say.They suspect dogs inherited the ability from their ancestor,the gray wolf,who may use it to sniff out warm bodies during a hunt.“The study is consistent with other research that describes the combined dog nose and brain as a highly complicatedplatform for processing a broad range of signals,”says Gary Settles,a professor of mechanical engineering at Pennsylvania State University.“The dog nose can distinguish patterns of hot and cold objects at a distance,”he said.“70.That needs further study.”IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than60 e your own words as far as possible.How Do Our Phones Affect Our Parenting?As a pediatrician(儿科医生),I have researched how mobile phone use affects family dynamics.The parent-child relationship is central to children’s social and emotional health and life success—yet I also see how more and more family interactions interrupted by mobile devices…including my own.My interest in the topic began in2010.I worked for a year as a pediatrician in the suburbs outside of Seattle.Many of the parents bringing in their sick kids worked at tech companies and were early adopters of mobile devices.During my training,I had gotten used to children playing with handheld gaming devices,but this was different:parents texted during health-related conversations(were they really processing what I was saying?);looked up medical information online to check my accuracy(was this a sign of parent anxiety?);and used videos to stop children from crying(this was pretty helpful during ear exams,but is it OK other times,I wondered?).I was fascinated by the cultural change America was experiencing with the rapid adoption of mobile devices.But as a pediatrician,I had no idea what to do about it.So when I moved to Boston for training in Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics,I decided to explore the topic in more depth.I started my research by observing families in fast food restaurants—and the results were pretty eye-opening:when parents’attention was highly absorbed in their smartphones,parents talked less to children;responded slower(or not at all) to child bids for attention;and sometimes overreacted to child behavior.Our more recent studies show that in the long-run,parent technology use during parent-child activities leads to more difficult child behavior—which in turn leads to more parent technology usage.It’s a vicious cycle:when kids stress us out, we often go to our phones for escape or to avoid interaction,and this interrupts time with kids or makes them annoyed,and they might react with difficult behavior,and so on.As a working mom of two young boys,I knew how this child-phone multitasking felt to me,but I wanted to hear what others thought.So I interviewed35parents from diverse backgrounds in Boston to understand their experiences.They told me they have never felt their brains split in so many directions—like all the matters of the world could intrude upon home time and“land in their lap”.They expressed both relief and despair when their phones were broken or lost,because while this made it easier to“single-task”on their kids again,they also felt cut off from friends and information.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the

For the blanks with a given word,fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.As entrepreneurs(创业者),we had a vision,we realized it,and now we (21) (run) our own companies.But the dream can damage our “wo rk-life balance.”When the success of the company rests on your shoulders,you’ve always got an excuse to put (22) else on hold.What I’ve learned (23) (face) the demands of a start-up company and a young family over the past couple of decades is that sometimes the best way to solve the work-life balance problem is to think small.Make a handful of lifestyle corrections (24) ,individually,may not sound all that exciting,but taken together,can prevent you from getting too tired.Here’s my list of life hacks that will help prevent exhaustion:•Work from home one day a weekFew things give you a more grounded,in-control feeling than getting things done in your own space and at your own pace.Instead of leaving the office (25) (clear) my head over a Starbucks coffee,I can fold the laundry,and cut back on evening housework.Not to mention,working in pajamas is one of life’s (26) (underestimate) pleasures. •Pencil in time for exerciseIt really bothered me (27) with the demands of company and family,my tennis game was going down the drain.That may sound unimportant,but it wasn’t to me,(28) it was a meaningful part of my life outside of work.To get some balance back in my life.I rearranged my schedule.Two mornings a week,I woke up an hour (29) (early) to work out with a tennis coach.If sports aren’t your thing,try yoga or that hobby that you always loved but let go of after starting your business.•Learn something new,outside the officeIt can be draining to always be the person who’s supposed to have the answers as a business leader.It’s surprisingly liberating to be on the other side,(30) (absorb) knowledge without the pressure to perform or to always be right.Section BDirections:After reading the passage blow,fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.Each word can b e used only once.Note that there is one ore word than you need.While I was jumping rope,my phone took a fall to the hardwood floor which created multiple cracks on my screen.However,the music kept 31 ,so all as well - or so I thought.Thirty minutes later,I could see only one-tenth of my screen while the rest was pitch-black.The next morning,I decided not to go to the phone store for 24 hours,I felt a(n) 32 sense of calm that day,which led to my not going for one week.One week ended up becoming 60 days without my smartphone.Here are three 33 I noticed and why you may want to consider a smartphone detox(戒除期)yourself.·You’ll become boredWhile in line at a Starbucks,I noticed how every individual had their head down,eyes fixed on their smartphone.With nothing to distract myself with during the waiting period,I became bored,and my mind 34 through all sorts of topics.Boredom is 35 something we avoid at all costs.However,boredom is the perfect way to make a(n) 36 on a business idea or project.When you enter a state of boredom,you allow your mind to relax and escape from the realities of today to the infinite 37 of tomorrow.·You’ll be able to dramatically reduce your “work” hoursA study found that adults ages 18 to 33 38 their smartphones 85 times a day,or once every 10 minutes.As I learned during my experiment,placing some distance between myself and my device helped me fall into deep work more easily.By not having my smartphone,my distraction time went down and thus my hours of workwere spent more efficiently and effectively.On numerous occasions,I found myself 39 what to do with the afternoon since I had already completed my high-impact tasks for the day. ·Your mental well-being will receive a boost(提高)Obviously,without a cellphone,I experienced a lack of 40 news and comments.While that helped cause a dramatic boost in my mental well-being,the biggest reason for it was truly connecting to people.III.R eading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases markedA,B,C and D.Fill inn each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.As a child,what did you want to be when you grew up?If you were like most children,you probably let your imagination run 41 .Maybe you dreamed of flying into space or being a famous chef.Then perhaps over the years,your dreams became more 42 .Or you might have given up on some altogether.If that’s the case,then today’s the day for you.January 13th is Make Your Dreams Come True Day.If you’ve been 43 fulfilling your dreams,this is the day to make a fresh start.It’s important to dream because dreams can give us the 44 to succeed in life.Dreams inspire and motivate us.The great thing about dreams is that there’s no 45 to accomplish them right away.They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to 46.The important thing is that you’re 47 working toward yourdream.And the best way to do that is by setting goals.What is the 48 between a dream and a goal?It’s been said that dreams are the fimal destination;goals are the stops along the way.Dreams can be very 49 .But the steps you take to reach them should be very 50 .Your dreams state what you want,but goals explain how you’ll get there.That makes goal setting a necessary step in 51 your dreams.Many successful people have spoken about dreams.Former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell stressed the 52 of working for your dreams. “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic:it takes sweat, 53 and hared work.”Author Les Brown reminded us that dreams have no 54 limit.You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years,start today.Write down your dream,and 55 your goals.Then you’ll be on your way to making your dreams come true.41. A.fast B.high C.well D.wild42. A.colorful B.amazing C.realistic D.attractive43. A.putting off B.taking off C.getting off D.paying off44. A.opportunity B.direction C.energy D.access45.

A.unreal B.general C.changeable D.flexible50. A.specific B.abstract mon plicated51. A.imaging B.avoiding C.reaching D.believing52. A.process B.benefit C.consequence D.importance53. A.blood B.determination C.intelligence D.loyalty54. A.age B.extra C.space D.normal55. A.transfer B.covert C.establish D.devoteSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In 2008,someone,or perhaps a group of people,using the name Satoshi Nakamoto published a paper to an online group that discussed cryptography(密码使用法),That paper described a process that would use cryptography to create a secure electronic cash system,now known as a cryptocurrency(加密货币).Person to person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial institution.Each deal could happen very quickly.The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to prove those deals safely.Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.Today,there are well over a thousand different cryptocurrencies.Most are still trying to be feasible global payment systems like Bitcoin.They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry.One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store theirelectronic cash in virtual “wallets” or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another.In recent years,clever thieves have broken into many of these websites and stolen electronic cash.The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.Another problem is the large number of fake crytocurrencies that are advertised on the internet.The advertisements invite internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies.Many visitors are persuaded by the websites to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual ter,the websites disappear along with the victims’ ter,the websites disappear along with the victims’ money.In response to this problem,companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.56.What does the article explain about Satoshi Nakamoto?A.Satoshi’s background in international banking and investm entB.Satoshi’s grave doubts about the true value of cryptocurrenciesC.Satoshi’s close partnership with suspicious financial institutionsD.Satoshi’s contribution to the development of the digital economy57.According to this article,what is true about numerous cryptocurrencywebsites?A.They and their users have been robbed.B.They’ve revealed the identities of their users.C.They reward their users with cool prizes.D.They arrange recreational events for users.58.What does the article indicate about the cryptocurrency industry?A.It’s had to lay off lots of workers.B.It’s celebrating a profitable year.C.It’s facing some serious challenges.D.It’s set a very high moral standard.59.According to this article,why are Facebook and Google limiting cryptocurrencyadvertising?A.Few cryptocurrencies need to be marketed.B.They’ve created their own cryptocurrency.C.They don’t listen to cryptocurrency fans.D.Too many cryptocurrencies aren’t real.(B)“Changing the world” might seem like a n unrealistic goal.When facedwith huge problems such as air pollution or energy shortages,where do you start?Taoyuan-based Gogoro believes you start with a scooter.pared with other electric scooters,the Smartscooter .A.can recharge itself in Gostations in megacitiesB.only needs to change batteries in GostationsC.wouldn’t need to be recharged at all in lifeD.can be recharged by its users in Gostations61.Gogoro scooters are popular and revolutionary mainly because .A.their colors are chosen by a famous color designerB.their colors are different from those of othersC.it is a good way for people to consume energyD.it can help us solve the problem of energy short62.What can we conclude from the passage?A.The more megacities there are,the more GoStations mayappear.B.GoStations will soon entirely take the place of traditional stations.C.People need not go to GoStations especially during peak hours.D.More megacities will appear throughout the world in thefuture.(C)With so many investments required of us to succeed -time,resources,talents,responsibilities,even finances for our retirement - it’s easy to lose sight of the most difficult investment of all to commit to ourselves.Getting to the point where you’re ready to start upgrading to you 2.0 isn’t easy.But it doesn’t mean dropping the ball everywhere else.It’s not about omissions,but e clean with yourself to kick - start your personal growth.Unstuck starts with “u”No one purposely chooses to stop learning and growing again,it just kind of happens in a lot of daily responsibilities and life.And if it were easy to just kick it into gear(挡位)again,you would have already done it.But the truth is inescapable.If you want to get off that place to higher ground,it’s up to you and only you.No one will just hand you a steady stream of opportunities for growth.You’ve been working in your life,not on itActivity is often confused with acceleration(忙碌).I was guilty of this for years in working place - staying always busy but not admitting I was bored.I was lost in activity and not stepping back to take time to question what I wanted my life to be.Once I began working on my life - quitting corporate,becoming an entrepreneur,restructuring to my life - I started growing once again.And I’ve never been happier.Things aren’t happening to you,they’re happening for youA victim mentality(心态)is the enemy of personal menting over everything that has gone wrong in your life only wastes energy from working to make more things go right.If you want to kick-start growth,you must view setbacks as having a purpose,and then put them in their place.The past shouldn’t run or define you - only fuel you.The perfect time to start doesn’t existI had so many things that had to be just right before I could make my long-planned leap from corporate.I’d tell myself, “I’d love to go for it right now,but practically speaking.”Well,guess what?Practically is poison.It’s the convenient excuse stopping you from what you’re meant to become.It’s time to unplug others’ opinionsGrow where you want to grow.Learn what you want to learn.Wherever you are on the scale of what you want to learn next - be it beginner or near-expert own it,be proud of it.Pretenses are for pretenders.You’re just trying to beco me a better version of your genuine self.63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.If you want to succeed,you have to invest yourself first.B.Upgrading yourself is hard,but you still need to continue.C.Giving up upgrading yourself is just like dropping the ball.D.It’s a kind of responsibility to go on learning though it’s hard.64.The word lament in the last but 4 paragraphs most probably means .A.to express sadness and feeling sorry about somethingB.to repeat what happens to you in the past of your lifeC.to show some regretful feeling or thought for your pastD.to recognize something that has gone wrong in the past65.According to the passage,we can infer that .A.the busier you are,the happier and better you will beB.what happened shouldn’t prevent you,but protect youC.whoever you are ,just grow where you want to growD.how well you grow is actually decided by yourself66.How many aspects does the writer illustrate his idea on personal growth?A.3.B.7.C.5.D.6.Section CDirections:Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box.Each sentence can only be used once.Note that there are w=two sentences more than you need.As 2019 draws to a close,it can be helpful to think about finishing what you have started.With that in mind,here are some thoughts on finishing projects and seasons well.Finishing projectsOne step to finishing a project comes near the beginning:define what it means for the project to be finished.This could mean getting an article published,submitting a report to your boss or teacher,or creating designs for a product. 67 .In order to finish projects,you must also plan out the steps you will take.Break your big task into smaller ones,and give yourself a short-term deadline for each of them. 68 .Then when you do finish - celebrate!Take some time to enjoy your accomplishment and reward yourself for all your hard work.Also take some time to consider how the project when what you did well,and what needs improvement. 69 .Finishing the yearAs we come to the end of 2019,it’s good to take some time to pause and reflect on the past year.What goals did you reach or what have you learned?What would you like to do differently next year?While you’re thinking,consider things you’re thankful for them the year.You could make a list of 12,one for each month,or 52,one for each week.Or just write down as many things as you can think of.This will help you end the year with a positive attitude.70 .If you made mistakes,recognize them and then move on.No one can change the past,but you can learn from it and create a new future.By finishing projects and years well,you can move toward your long-term goals and setyourself up for future triumphs.IV.Summary Writing71.Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 e your own words as far as possible.Every culture has set rules about how people should act.Patterns of good behavior,or manners,show respect and care for others.Yet the details of how to express respect vary.Greeting people cheerfully is almost always considered polite.But it’s more important in some cultures than others.For example,when you enter a store in France,you should always greet the person working there.Other cultures also value greeting people.But of course the greetings vary as people speak different languages.When I was growing up in the United States,I once participated in a performance at my church.Afterward,someone gave me a compliment,but I felt like I had done a bad job.So I tried to refuse the compliment,saying, “No,I didn’t do that well.” My mother got my attention and told me that was very ter I learned that refusing a compliment is accepted and even approved of in China.Some of the biggest cultural differences have to do with table manners.In North America,it’s polite to eat as quietly as possible.That means chewing with your mouth closed and not slurping(吃东西时发出的声音)your soup.The same goes for burping(打嗝).But in parts of Asia slurping shows that you are enjoying your meal.And burping is a sign of being full and content.There are also differences in how people eat across cultures.For example,in North America and Europe people use forks to bring food to their mouths.But in Thailand,a fork is only used to push food onto a spoon.In India and the Middle East,people eat with their hands.But eating with the left hand is forbidden.This is because the left hand is considered unclean.Yet there are also similar points across cultures.Say ing “please” and “thank you,” for example,is almost always polite.If you show appreciation and try to follow local customs,people will generally respond well.Showing kindness can bring people together,no matter what culture they come from.V.T ranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.我们不惧风雨，也不畏任何险阻。

第一部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AWith over 2.4 million visitors every year, Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terreis truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Comiglia, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you’re visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks, these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.★Take a scenic hike.It’s easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro.It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea, architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across, with short breaks, but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.★Get on a boat.If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It’s far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.★Take the train.Cinque Terre’s train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high-speed train runs through each of thefive villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs.1. What is special about the five candy-colored fishing villages?A. Their special location.B. Their long history.C. Their delicious foods.D. Their friendly villagers.2. What is the favorite food for the hikers in the five villages?A. Italian noodles.B. Italian ice-cream.C. Italian wines.D. Seafood cones.3. What is the best way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food?A. Taking a private ferry to the villages.B. Walking with short breaks on the coast.C. Taking a scenic hike along the coastal path.D. Taking the train running through the villages.BIt can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children’s books printed in the target language.At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realized thateveryone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot.As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children’s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children’s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.4. Why was the author advised to read children’s books?A.

The Way of Learning LanguagesC. The Method of Using DictionaryD. My Good Reading HabitsCWith self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots forthe final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in SnohomishCounty, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likelyrequires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times-if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reachconsumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.8.What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?A. Final tests.B. The so-called last mile.C. Robots’ safety.D. Delivery speed.9.What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?A. It looks like a cooler.B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.C. Its sensors play a key role.D. It will be widely used soon.10.What does the underlined phrase "prior to" in paragraph 4 mean?A. beforeB. afterC. in front ofD. due to11.From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A newspaper.D. A travel brochure.DWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even beable to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin (木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips,the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturersimprove their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.12. What does the underlined part "that feature" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Cheapness.B. Durability.C. Sustainability.D. Transparency.13. Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?A. Dip the wood into a polymer.B. Reduce the amount of the polymer.C. Make the wood lignin-free.D. Bake the wood for some time.14. What’s the purpose of using the transparent wood in buildings?A. To protect privacy.B. To scale out applications.C. To get more natural light.D. To observe more clearly.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The bright future of the transparent wood.B. The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D. Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.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。

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.

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。

AThe cold northern wind here in the streets of Petersburg strengthens my nerves and fills me with delight. I cannot think of the Pole as cold and empty; in my imagination it is a region of beauty and delight. Who knows what strange landscapes and creatures we may find there? I shall satisfy my curiosity with the sight of an unknown part of the world, and walk where no man has before. Thinking of it, I feel the same joy a child feels when he sails his little boat on a voyage of discovery up his native river.This voyage was the favorite dream of my early years. My education was neglected, yet I was passionately fond of reading. Uncle Thomas’s library contained only books about e xploration, which I read day and night. Finally, my thoughts come to the idea of making a voyage of discovery.Six years have passed since I decided on the present voyage. I can, even now, remember the hour when I committed myself to this great enterprise. I began by making my body used to hardship. I went on whale hunting voyages to the North Sea; I voluntarily endured cold, hunger, thirst, and lack of sleep. I often worked harder than the common sailors during the day. Then, at nights, I studied mathematics, the theory of medicine, and sciences of practical importance for a sea-going adventurer. Twice I took jobs as an officer on a Greenland whaling ship. I felt a little proud when my captain asked me to remain with the ship, sovaluable did he consider my services. And now, do I not deserve to achieve some great task? My life might have been passed in ease and comfort, but I preferred glory to every pleasure that wealth placed in my path.21. What does the author think of the Pole? A. It reminds him of his childhood. B. It must be a region full of surprises. C. It would fulfil his dream to be an adventurer. D. It’s too cold a destination with almost nothing. 22. To realize his childhood dream, the author got ________. A. physically prepared by experiencing great suffering B. spiritually prepared by gaining captain’s recognition C. academically prepared by reading books on explorationD. financially prepared by serving on a whale hunting ship23. According to the passage, the author is definitely a person full of ________. A. curiosityB. fancyC. perseveranceD. prideBAs a young child, Ann Makosinski would spend hours experimenting with her toys and other everydayobjects around her to create her own inventions.Now a first-year Arts student, Makosinski is a well-known inventor. She won the recent Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award of Excellence, which recognizes creative business solutions to social problems --the same recognition was given to Barack Obama in 2014. Her two inventions —the Hollow Flashlight and the e-Drink —have been causing excitement internationally since their creation.When Makosinski was 15 years old, she created a flashlight powered by the heat of one's hand. This invention was the result of a 9th grade science project, but her goal was to offer a practical solution to people with unlimited access to power and electricity. “One of my friends from the Philippines told me that she failed school because she had no light to study with at night, so that was kind of the inspiration.” Makosi nski explained.At 12th grade, Makosinski then went on to create the e-Drink. It is a coffee cup that harvests the extra heat of a hot drink while it cools, stores it as electricity in an internal(内置的) battery and makes it available to charge an external device such as a phone, whose life can now be longer by approximately 10 to 30 minutes.“My favorite part of creating inventions would be when you had the idea and you have to physically build it ，and it doesn't work out,” she said. “So you have to figure ou t different ways to solve it. A lot of times,此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号I'll give up and I’ll come back after a couple of days and I'll take it up again.”Her advice to other student innovators? “Start now. There’s nothing holding you back. Actually, you can do whatever you want.” Makosinski said，“If you want to make something，follow your heart, then go ahead. If there's something you really want to do, you will make time for it and you will find time in the day to do your schoolwork.”24. Makosinsky created the powerless flashlight mainly to ________.A. satisfy her desire to create inventionsB. settle problems in study for her friendC. help those who are short of electricityD. finish the assignment of a science project25. Which of the following is mainly explained in paragraph 4?A. How the e-Drink was invented.B. Why the e-Drink was created.C. What the e-Drink brings.D. How the e-Drink works.26. Which can be the best title for this passage?A. Popular Inventions by a Teenager GirlB. Teenager Girl Advancing in CreationC. Valuable Advice from a Creative GirlD. Awards Given to a Young InventorCStress in middle age can make your brain shrink and make your memory worse, scientists have discovered. The brain-reducing effects of stress, identified in people in their 40s free from dementia(痴呆症)—a serious mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury, were found to be caused by cortisol(皮质醇). The high levels of the stress hormone may be an early warning sign that someone may end up with dementia, the research suggests.Stress also made people's thinking skills worse, which the Harvard Medical School study, published in the journal Neurology found. For the research, scientists led by Dr. Justin B. Echouffo-Tcheugui studied 2,231 people with an average of 49 and free of dementia. He said, "Our research detected memory loss and brain shrinkage in middle-aged people before symptoms started to show. So it's important for people to find ways to reduce stress, such as getting enough sleep, taking part in moderate exercise, making relaxation techniques part of their daily lives or asking their doctor about their cortisol levels and taking a cortisol-reducing medication if needed." He also added, "It's important for physicians to give professional advice to all people with high cortisol levels."Researchers found lower scores on tests of memory and thinking in people with higher levels of cortisol than those with average levels. In addition, people with higher cortisol levels had a smaller brain volume, with those with high cortisol levels having brains that were 88.5 percent of the total cranial(颅骨的) volume. This was compared to 88. 7 percent of the total cranial volume for people with normal levels of the hormone. No links were found between low levels of cortisol and brain size.Cortisol helps the body respond to stress and when we are stressed, cortisol levels increase because that is our fight-or-flight(战或逃) response. It can also help reduce inflammation(发炎) and control blood sugar and blood pressure. High cortisol levels can be caused by stress, medical conditions or medications.“Cortisol affects many different functions so it is important to fully investigate how high levels of the hormone may affect the brain,” Dr Echouffo-Tcheugui said, “While other studies have examined cortisol a nd memory, we believe our large, community-based study is the first to explore, in middle-aged people, cortisol levels and brain volume, as well as memory and thinking skills. ”27. What may Dr. Echouffo-Tcheugui suggest people do about stress-reducing?A. Early to bed and early to rise.B. Strengthen the social network.C. Eat food with more protein.D. Ride a bicycle around a lake.28. Which statement about cortisol may the author agree to?A. Higher cortisol levels are associated with larger brain volume.B. The more stressed one feels, the higher his cortisol levels are.C. Age and gender play a big role in the participants' brain volume.D. People with high cortisol levels will suffer from low blood pressure.29. What's the possible direction for future research according to Dr. Echouffo-Tcheugui?A. How high cortisol levels affect human brains.B. The link between cortisol levels and memory.C. The link between cortisol levels and brain size.D. How cortisol affects peoples’ response.30. Why does the author write this passage?A. To suggest the efficient ways to reduce stress.B. To prevent the features and functions of cortisol.C. To explain how cortisol affects peoples’ stress level.D. To show stress can cause memory loss and brain shrinkage.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。

Stephen Hawking wasdefinitely one of them.Hawking was a theoretical physicist whose early work on black holes31how scientists think about the nature of the universe. Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist from Arizona State University and a friend and colleague of Hawking’ s, says that at a young32age,somethingHawking高三英语共19页第3页“ truly remarkable” . Krausssaysbefore Hawking, physicists thought that the large gravity of a blackhole33everything in and nothing could escape. But by combiningquantum mechanics (量子力学) and the theory of relativity, Hawking showed something and changed everything about the waywe think about gravity.Krauss says Hawking pointed out a(n)34problem in the way physicists understand our world — a problem that Krauss says has yet to be resolved.But his fame wasn’ t just a(n)35 of his research. Hawking, who had a rare disease that made it impossible for him to move or speak, was also a popular public36and best-selling author. When he came to scientific conferences, the audience focused their attention on him. And it wasnthe scientists but the general public as well who showed great37for him. His popular book about his work, A Brief History of Time, was a best-seller. But he agreed that that book was probably the least-read, most-bought book ever. This showed Hawking’ s sense of humor.That sense of humor, along with his fame,38Hawking to appear on The Simpsons several times— as well as on a number of other popular shows.Toward the end of his life, Hawking ’ disease left him almost paralyzed (瘫痪的 ).

They come to take in experimental works of art that all have one thing in common—hip hop. This weekend the San Francisco International Hip Hop DanceFest celebrates 20 years of presenting electrifying hip hop performances.Each DanceFest has diversity (多样化 ) of style and group size, and a balance of local andout-of-town companies. From Vietnam to Brazil to Uganda to the Czech Republic, the festival has drawn impressive international talent.After a long process, only the most exceptional companies are flown in for DanceFest.In fact,outstanding technical dance skills are only a basic standard that the festival organizers are looking for. They look for much more — groups or artists that think outside the box. Artists that use hip hop in a theatrical way or to address social issues are sure to stand out. For instance, the 2010 performance“ Tables and Chairs” served to underline the negative effeal c tsoh o flism on society.It would be terribly irresponsible not to mention the founder, Micaya, in any introduction to DanceFest. A popular hip hop dance instructor, Micaya began producing high energy dance shows inthe heart of San Francisco in 1993. Students of all ages and backgrounds love her classes so much thata San Francisco newspaper once described her as“ Best Dance Instructor”.However, Micaya was concerned about the then dubious reputation of hip hop. She made it her goal to get hip hop the same recognition and respect as other dance forms. In 1999 she started DanceFest. It was the first festival of its kind to honor the creativity of hip hop dance in a non-competitive atmosphere. To Micaya, competitive rules leave little room for the magic that comes from true expression. One review said, Micaya’ s festival challenges us“ to reconsider just how dand embracing hip hop can now be.” Indeed, Micaya brings out the best in dancers, and has given SanFrancisco one of its finest festivals.56. What is the passage mainly about?A. The creativity of hip hop.B. The characteristics and the history of DanceFest.C. The best instructor of hip hop.D. The unique rules and the challenge of DanceFest.57.Hip hop dancers are more likely to be chosen for Dancefest if they can not only dance skillfullybut also _____.A. dance on the outside of the boxB. give up drinking alcohol before dancingC. handle social problems with their danceD. show their technical dance skills in theaters58. By dubious“ reputation”in the last paragraph, the author means hip hop _____ back then.A. was forbidden in publicB. was considered something badC. received too much attentionD. lacked creativity and competition高三英语共19页第6页59. What can be concluded about DanceFest?A. It is a competition for hip hop dancers. C. It is successful in popularizing hip hop.B. It is a dance festival for various dance forms.D. It is better respected than other dance festivals. (B)1. Admission and School Policies4.

But his tools, at the time, mainly applied to hardware, not software.The student ’question inspired Belkhir ’latest research on the global emissions footprint of information and communications technology.Belkhir, along with Ahmed Elmeligi, a recent W Booth graduate and co-founder of HiNT (Healthcare Innovation in Neuro Technology), studied the carbon footprint of consumer devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, desktops as well as data centres and communication networks as early as 2005. Their findings were published in the Journal of Cleaner Production.Not only did they discover that software is driving the consumption of ICT, they also found thatICT has a greater impact on emissions than we thought and most emissions come from production and operation.“ For every text message, for every phone call, every video you upload or download, therecentre making this happen. ”Belkhir explains.“ Telecommunications networksand data centres consume a lot of energy to serve you and most data centres continue to be powered by electricity produced by traditional fuel s. It’ s the energy consumption we don’ t see.”高三英语共19页第8页Among all the devices, trends suggest that by 2020, the most damaging devices to the environment are smartphones. While smartphones consume little energy to operate, 85% of their emissions impact comes from production.A smartphone ’chips and motherboard (芯片和主板 ) require the most amount of energy to produce as they are made up of precious metals that are mined at a high cost. Smartphones also have a short life which drives further production of new models and an extraordinary amount of waste.Belkir has made policy recommendations based on his findings.“ Communication and data centres have to go under renewable energy now. The good news is Google and Facebook data centres are going to run on renewable energy. But there needs to be a policy in place so that all data centres follow. Also, it ’nots sustainable to have a two -year plan for smartphones. ”63.The story between Lotfi Belkhir and his student in 2014 was mentioned to _____.A. explain the importance of software sustainabilityB. illustrate the inspiration for Belkhir’s latest researchC. reveal the damaging impact of ICT on the environmentD. show Belkhir ’s student’s creativity and critical thinking64.One reason why smartphones may be the most damaging devices of all to the environment by2020 is that _____.A.they are more precious than other devicesB.they drive the greatest consumption of ICTC.they are frequently replaced by new modelsD.they need large amounts of energy to operate65.To reduce the emission of ICT, Lotfi Belkhir suggests that _____.A.longer plans be made to create renewable data centresB.sustainable materials be invented to produce smartphonesC.policies be established to advocate everlasting smartphonesD.green energy be used to operate communication and data centres66.What is the main idea of the passage?A.ICT does greater harm to the environment than thought.B.Software can do irreversible damage to the environment.C.Software is more damaging to the environment than hardware.D.ICT will have the greatest impact on the environment by 2040.Section CDirections: Read the following passage.

The method, known as aeroponics, does not involve soil. Instead, plant roots hang in theair. The roots take in nutrients from a watery mist.Aeroponics is not well-known in Nigeria,but farmers there are working to make the techniquemore popular.67Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria’ s smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta.Ogbole says they are on a campaign to end seasonal food scarcity in Nigeria. “ Because we are the ones controlling everything that the plant requires,w e are not depending on seasons. So it’nos longer seasonal farming. It is just farming anytime of the year, meaning we can plant anytime of the year, andwe can harvest anytime of the year.”68It required financing of more than $180,000. And some people in Abeokuta werevery much against this non-traditional method of farming. It took a lot of effort to change people ’ s minds about aeroponics.In Nigeria, about 30 million hectares (公顷 ) of farmland is being used, instead of the 78.5 millionhectares required for food security. In the north, only 49 percent of the land is fertile, a situation thatworries traditional farmers.69Nutrients for the plants are controlled by a recycling system,greatly increasing productivity.Philip Ojo is director general of Nigeria’Nationals Agricultural Seeds Council.He says the government welcomes new farming methods. Ojo noted that with aeroponics, farmers can quicklyincrease planting materials. So, his group strongly supports the technology.The agricultural industry represents about 40 percent of Nigeria’economys.70Fornow, most farmers lack the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They also need access tohigh-quality seeds to guarantee better harvests. Technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogboleare offering a new way forward.高三英语共 19页第 10页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.71.Giving ThanksThis is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we ’re thankful for in life. Spending that time with friends and family to give thanks is what makes the holidays so special. But why should we limit it to just a few weeks in the years? Gratitude is a muscle we should strengthen year-round tomake us healthier, happier humans and leaders.Emmons, through his research, found that grateful people reported feeling healthier, both mentally and physically. Specifically, those who were grateful were25 percent happier than those who weren’t. In the workplace, well-being is a crucial topic when it comes to preventing employee burn-out and promoting engagement. Beyond the research that shows that employees who are shown that they are appreciated are more productive by 50 percent, caring for your employees’well-being is simply the right thing to do. Providing programs that support managing life ’s everyday challenges, offering fitness classes or implementing flexible work schedules are just a few things that, when paired with gratitude, can lead to more productive, engaged and happier working professionals.Working in an ever-evolving, fast-paced industry, I am surrounded by ambitious people who are always striving for more and better. Gratitude challenges you to reflect in the moment instead of always thinking about the future. It starts by paying attention to what’s going on in your life, and that true self-awareness is a key ingredient to being successful in your career.Gratitude is a powerful tool for strengthening relationships, both at work and in your personal life. People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able tocreate long-lasting connections.The old saying goes “It ’s never too late to say you ’re sorry,”but the same is true of gratitude. That’s a gift worth celebrating 365 days a year.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.出于好奇，杰克向村民们打听了这座城堡的历史。

trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years now，and it looks like they’ve finally cracked(破解)the code．But while this may seem like a great step forward in science，some also believe that it’s one step back when it comes to ethics．In August，a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation(突变)that would have led to heart disease，reported The Guardian．This was achieved with the help of CRISPR，a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to“cut and paste”human DNA．Although this was the first example of an embryo’s genes being changed successfully，the benefits of gene editing have already been tested in living patients．In 2015，a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer．As of today，she’s alive and well．And in the US last year，scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies．Some people hope that in the future，diseases or birth detects could simply be “edited out”．However，others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies，giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence．“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest‘upgrades’for their children，leading to even greater inequality than we already live with，”Marcy Darnovsky，director of the SanFrancisco Center for Genetics，told BBC News．In spite of these ethical concerns，experts say it’s not possible to create the“perfect”human being．Despite the progress scientists have made，We don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities．“Right now，we know nothing about genetic enhancement，”Hank Greely，a director of sciences at Stanford University，US，told The New York Times．“We’re never going to be able to say，honestly，‘This embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT．’”So it looks like if we want good exam results，or to impress people with our piano skills，we’11 have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work—at least for now．12．The underlined word“alter”in Paragraph 1 probably means________．A．record B．change C．remove D．increase13．Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards?A．They don’t think it is an effective way to light diseases．B．They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations．C．They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality．D．They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects．14．What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing?A．A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientistsB．A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells．C．HIV cells were removed from patients’bodies．D．Some birth defects were simply edited out．15．What can we conclude from the text?A．Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects．B．There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes．C．Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future．D．Scientists are pessimistic about the future of gene editing．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。
