Grammar and V ocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Do Animals Dream?You can't see your sleeping pet's brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when Fido or Fluffy might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you'll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular and her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, (21) ________ slow - wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you'll notice a change (22) ________ her eyes move under her closed lids, Fluffy has entered the REM(Rapid Eye Movement),or dreaming, stage of sleep. Although she moves and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs (23) ________ (block), so she can't run about.Back in 1963, Michel Jouvet, a French scientist who was studying sleep in cats, (24) ________ (interrupt) their sleep paralysis, the state of being unable to act or function properly. (25) ________________ they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to chase balls that Jouvet couldn't see and bent their backs in invisible enemies. He figured he was watching them act out their dreams!What were they dreaming about? Mostly, the dreaming cats seemed (26) ________ (practise) important cat skills: stalking, pouncing, and fighting.In (27) ________ study, Matt Wilson, a neuroscientist, recorded rats’ brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫). One day, he left the brain - wave - recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could locate exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is topractise important skills and nail down recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills (28) ________ were probably vitally important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, scientists think that all mammals dream, such as humans,dogs,lions,and whales, but fish (29) ________ not. (They're not sure about birds.)How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when (30) ________ (lie) down.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Why Doubt Is Essential To ScienceThe confidence people place in science is frequently based not on what it really is, but on what people would like it to be. When I asked students at the beginning of the year how they would define science, many of them replied that it is a(n) 31 way of discovering certainties about the world. But science cannot provide certainties For example, a majority of Americans trust science as long as it does not challenge their 32 beliefs. To the question “When science disagrees with the teachings of your religion, which one do you believe?” 58 percent of North Americans favor religion; 33 percent science; and 6 percent say “it depends.”But doubt in science is a feature, not a bug. Indeed, science, when properly 33 , questions accepted facts and leads to both new knowledge and new questions—not certainty. Doubt does not 34 trust, nor does it help public understanding. So why should people trust a process that seems to require a troublesome state of uncertainty without always providing solid solutions?As a historian of science, I would argue that it's the responsibility of scientists and historians of science to show that the real power of science lies precisely in what is often 35 as itsweakness: its drive to question and challenge a possible explanation. Indeed, the scientific approach requires changing our understanding of the natural world whenever new 36 emerges from either experimentation or observation. Scientific findings are hypotheses that contain the state of knowledge at a given moment. In the long run, many of are challenged and even overturned, Doubt might be troubling, but it stimulates us towards a better understanding; certainties, as 37 as they may seem, in fact block the scientific process.Scientists understand this, but in the 38 fore between the public and science, there are two significant traps. One is a form of blind 39 —that is, a belief in the capacity of science to solve all problems. And the other is a form of relativism borne out of alack of 40 in the very existence of truth.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.This ern of “Industry 4. 0” is being driven by the same technological advances that enable the capabilities of the smartphones in our pockets. It is a mix of low -cost and high -power computers, high -speed communication and artificial intelligence. This will produce smarter robots with better sensing and communication abilities that can 41 different tasks, and even adjust their work to meet demand without the input of humans.In the manufacturing industry, where robots have arguably made the most headway of any division, this will mean a(n) 42 shift from centralized to decentralized cooperative production. 43 robots focused on single, fixed. high-speed operations and required a highly skilled human workforce to operate and maintain them. Industry 4. 0 machines are flexible, cooperative and can operate more independently which 44 removes the need for a highly skilled workforce.For large - scale manufacturers, Industry 4.0 means their robots will be able to sense their environment and communicate in an industrial network that can be run and 45 remotely. Each machine will produce large amounts of data that can be 46 studied using what is known as “big data” analysis. This will help 47 ways to improve operating performance and production quality across the whole plat, for example by better predicting when repairing isneeded and automatically 48 it.For 49 manufacturing businesses, Industry 4. 0 will make it cheaper and easier to use robots. It will create machines that can be rearranged to perform 50 jobs and adjusted to work on a more diverse product range and different production volumes. This part is already beginning to benefit from robots designed to cooperate with human workers and analyse their own work to look for 51 .While these machines are getting smarter, they are still not as smart as us. Today's industrial artificial intelligence operates at a 52 level, which gives the appearance of human intelligence exhibited by machines, but designed by humans.What's coming next is known as “deep learning”. Similar to big data analysis, it involves processing large quantities of data in real time to 53 what is the best action to take, The 54 is that the machine learns from the data so it can improve its decision making. A perfect example of deep learning was 55 by Google's Alpha Go software, which taught itself to beat the world's greatest Go players.41. A. compare with B. adapt to C. pick out D. hold on42.

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 read.(A)For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact, until a place has a church and a pub,it is not really considered a community worthy of a name, Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news. They are institutions at the heart of British society. After all, the word ‘pub’ is actually short for ‘public house’.As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. that tourists visit. One of the most famous examples is the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year AD 1189 and is probably the oldest pub in England. It was the same year in which kings Richard the first came into power, who led the First Crusade into the Holy Land, towards Jerusalem.Many British pubs have old names referring to governors, such as The King's Head or The Queen Victoria, but of course this doesn't mean they are only for kings and queens. Pubs have always welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.That's how things used to be. but there are worrying signs that things are beginning to change. Economic downturns, governmental financial measures, and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business. People do not have a lot of spare money to spend on beer. On top of that, in 2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs, which may also have affected the numbers of customers going to pubs since then.This decline is happening despite the fact that pubs are now allow by law to stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long - term health problems individuals and problems with violent crime for communities. The UK government is trying to find ways of discouraging binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television commercials to warnpeople of the problems of king too much.56. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. British pubs are preserved well mainly to attract tourists from all of the worldB. British pubs are quite popular and accessible to people from all walks of lifeC. Most British pubs are going out of business because of economic and cultural bansD. Most British pubs have to shut down to adjust themselves to meet the smoking ban57. Why did the UK government allow pubs to stay open after l1 pm?A. To stimulate customers to spend more on drinksB. To help British pubs survive economic downturnsC. To encourage more sensible ways of drinking in pubsD. To get rid of violent crime in most part of Britain58. The term “binge drinking” in paragraph 5 would be most likely to describeA. drinking too much and too quicklyB. social problems related to British pubsC. a new long - term drinking approachD. problems caused by drinking too much59. What will most probably be covered in the paragraph that follows the last in the passage?A. Different methods to welcome new customers to pubsB. Various advertisements encouraging people to quit drinkingC. The campaigns and strategies to support the traditional pubsD Trends of migrating back from the modern wine bars to old ones(B)Express Yourself!- The Art of CartooningTime: Thursday, January 6, 18: 30Welcome to the first event in our new series, Express Yourself!

Which of the following is the most possible theme of the series introduced in the passage?A. Arts and literatureB. Books and filmsC. Entertainment and interactionD. Heroes and achievements(C)Ellen Weiss can hardly see David Schmitt can barely hear. Are they typical victims of aging's cruelest blows? Not rally Weiss is actually a fresh resident doctor in family practice, age 30, and Schmitt a medical student, 26. They have been assigned roles, ages and particular illnesses as an innovative part of their medical training.Introduced in only a few medical centers so far, such role playing is designed to expose doctors to the pains endured by the patients. It is just one of several techniques being tried at medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy. “Residents are usually young and healthy.” says Dr. Stephen Brunton. “They've not really had a chance to understand what patients go through.”Role - playing programs give them a crash course. At Hunterdon, students' faces are instantly aged with cornflour and make up. Next the disabilities are laid on: gloves cripple fingers, and peas inside shoes prevent walking. Then the ersatz invalids are asked to perform common tasks: purchasing medication at the drugstore, undressing for x rays, fling out a Medicare form and, most awkward, using the bathroom themselves.At Long Beach, new residents assume made-up illnesses and cheek into the hospital for an overnight stay, The staff treats them as they would any other patient, even sending them a bill. The entire entering class of medical students at the Uniformed Services University of the Heath Sciences are issued bedpans and told to use them. Some are even subjected to an indignity: spending most part of the first day of school as people with disabilities.Instant patients usually start out activated and joking. “But by the end of a few hours, most say, ‘I'm exhausted.’” observes nurse Linda Bryant at Hunterdon. Schmitt discovered that “a major accomplishment was doing up my collar.” And, to his surprise, “I wound up hating physicians who didn't realize how much medication would cost and how hard it was to go and pick it up.” Weiss also learnt; “I realized how little I talk to patients. I might ask them about chest pains but not ‘Can you get dressed, eat O. K, take your medicine?” Jeffroy Ortiz thought he was in for a quiet rest when he was sent to the intensive care unit, suffering from “chest pains.” Instead he spent a sleepless night: “People were coming in to do labs, the man in the next bed was groaning, and the heart monitor was bleeping, which was noisy and scary.”Any patient could have told him so, but many educators believe the direct experience of such miseries will leave an enduring sense of sympathy, Doctors have long defended taking a cool, dispassionate approach to patient care, arguing that it helps preserve objective judgment and protect against burnout. But critics disagree. “By concentrating on symptoms and lab data, we ignore a wealth of information that can affect patients' well - being.” observes Dr. Simon Auster at the Uniformed Services medical school.63. According to the passage, the role - playing programme is designed ___________.A. as an innovative part in the local communityB. as part of the play the residents have to watchC. to help doctors understand the pains endured by the patientsD. to expose students to school facilities in a vivid way64. What does the phrase “the ersatz invalids” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Local patients who usually start out activated and jokingB. Students who make up their faces to look agedC. Doctors who perform common tasks that may not occur in real hospitalsD. Customers who purchase medications and undress for X rays with the help of students.65. The instant patients may feel most embarrassed when they ___________.A. fi11 in a Medicare tableB. are using the washroom on their ownC. are issued bedpans and told to try themD. meet with someone they know well66. What can be concluded according to the passage?A. Residents should always take a cool approach without sympathy to patient care in their jobB. Doctors ought to be completely independent from the symptoms and be previous lab dataC. Doctors may ignore information influencing the patients' health only by focusing on symptomsD. Experience in role - playing programs won't help the new doctors preserve objective judgment Section 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.Social Integration - Welcoming the NewcomersSocial integration is the process through which minority groups interact, come together or are incorporated within a community, Increased social integration helps reduce conflict and tension in society, and it can help the new migrants feel more connected to their new community. How do different groups remain relatively cohesive in society?A few countries around the world have adopted integrated frameworks for their economic, social, political and cultural policies with regard to accepting these migrants into the local society.67 . This is to allow them to achieve their full potential in life. There are still ongoing efforts to integrate different cultures and races, and the governments have encouraged their immigrants to take an active part in social, cultural, economic and political activities.Integration takes place in neighbourhoods. work places, schools and public places where people from diverse backgrounds spend most of their time. 68 Especially among the younger children, being in the same class as their foreign counterparts will teach the local children the meaning of tolerance and empathy. Participation in sports, community engagement and volunteer work are also other possible ways that eliminate discrimination and other forms of intolerance. From participating in arts programmes to being parent volunteers in schools, these platforms provide opportunities for people to interact and work towards a common cause. Sports programmes have also been used to encourage social integration. In fact, sport can strengthen social networks and promote non - violence and respect. In these ways, meaningful relationships among those of different ages, racial groups or faiths are built on the basis of common interests.69 still, countries have also acknowledged that human movement across borders cannot be stopped Instead, it should be better managed so that migration is safe, legal and beneficial for everyone. 70 Indeed, the government and local communities play a key role in integrating these newcomers and empowering them to contribute to their new communities, while maintaining their identities.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 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Seniority in Promotion Is Not a Wise Business PracticeIt's not always an easy decision for companies when it comes to filling managerial spots. In the past promoting an employee has been popularly handled by means of basic analysis of the employees' past performance nod seniority, In some cases, the individual's performance has been considered more important while in others the amount of time they have been with the company has been the deciding factor. Nevertheless, seniority is a standard that has never been left out, However, in the contemporary business world, the importance of seniority in promotion is being destroyed as a growing number of companies look outside of their organizations when trying to fill top managerial spots.Unlike experienced employees who have been with the company for a long time, new people are mare likely generate creative ideas. In rapidly changing markets, innovative and creative talents are sought by many companies in order to adapt to the market. To meet their needs,companies have more to gain by selecting outside employees since they are more willing to try Dew techniques and less afraid of breaking tradition when introducing new ideas. Thus, rather than promoting existing employees, it might be a wiser management decision to bring in outside talent.An additional advantage to this new system is that it prevents employees from feeling that they only need to wait for their seniority to provide them with a promotion. Simply put no matter how long they have been with the company, employees have to contribute diligently to the organization if they want to move up the career ladder, As soon as people realize that the company could just as easily bring in a new person, employees will stop judging themselves against each other because they are no longer competing against their colleagues but everyone in the entire industry. As a result, they will begin to show more effort to bring the level of their work up to what they imagine is a much higher standard.第Ⅱ卷（共40分）V.

But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles. We were going on survival training!Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in front we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountains.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs were aching and I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming in. A storm’s on its way.”I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling (发出隆隆声) in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless (持续强烈的).Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. “Don’t worry. Summer storms pass quickly,” Leo said, tryin g to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible —I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of stars glowing in the night sky.I wouldn’t lie—I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.24.Why did the author think his happy image became a nightmare?A. Allen had arrived earlier than arranged.B. He saw that Allen was not well prepared.C. He realized their trip would be challenging.D. Allen’s brother was unexpectedly with him.25.Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top?A. It was almost night time.B. The weather was changing.C. They were tired and needed to rest.D. They needed protection from animals.26.What can we know about Leo?A. He is an experienced and capable hiker.B. He is inconsiderate.C. He had known the author for a long time.D. He had not been to this mountain before.27.How did the author feel at the end of the story?A. Tired.B. Optimistic.C. Scared.D. Disappointed.CSleep, considered a luxu ry by many, is essential for a person’s well-being. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (肥胖症), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationshipbetween sleep and grades when he handed out smartwatches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worn devic es, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievements.While Gross’s data showed no relationshi p between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a linear (线性的) relationship between the average amount of sleep the students got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.When students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says.“If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours’ sleep. So, quantity isn’t everything.”Perhaps the mo st interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The overall course grades of students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtime.Who knew getting straight A’s just required some extra sleep?28.Based on his original objective, which best d escribes Professor Gross’s research findings?A. Accidental.B. Complete.C. Convincing.D. Doubtful.29.Who were the people taking part in the study?A. Middle school chemistry students.B. Volunteers from different universities.C. Professor Gross’s own students.D. University student athletes.30.How did Professor Gross’s team measure students’ academic performance ?A. Making the students wear special watches.B. Using students’ university entrance test results.C. Giving the students regular quizzes after class.D. Using the students’ normal test and quiz grades.31.Based on the study’s findings, who is likely to perform best academically?A. A student who has a good night’s sleep the night before an important test.B. A student whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C. A student who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D. A student who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth (错误观念) of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballets and orchestral (管弦乐的) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London’s orchestras range from ￡7 to ￡9—the same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is ￡30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic it’s an expensive ￡46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn’t so easy. Actually, British companies don’t charge the ridiculously high prices found on the Continent (￡2,000 for a good seat at the premiere of La Scala’s Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. It’s live cinema transmissions (节目播送). The Metropolitan Opera in New York now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren’t far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (￡10 or ￡15 for the Royal Opera House’s shows), you can sit in your local movie house and see a high-definition relay of what’s occurring on the world’s grandest stages. No, it’s not the same as being there, but it’s almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images of dancers are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, a mountain of evidence, together with free museum admission, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that schoolchildren are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32.What does the underlined word “infuriating” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Quite interesting.B. Very annoying.C. Not certain.D. Extremely obvious.33.What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A. The amount of money charged by top performers.B. The costly technology required for broadcasting.C. The demand of companies for big profits.D. The high cost of renting the stages.34.Which of the following is true about cinematic opera?A. People can decide where to watch the opera.B. Audiences are discouraged from responding to the performances.C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D. The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.35.Which statement would the author agree with?A. The quality of opera performances is improving.B. High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C. The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D. Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.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。

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.The First Space CatIn a few weeks,space scientists will celebrate a remarkable event---the60th anniversary of the launch of the first cat into space,an astronautical success that has never been repeated.In the early60s,dogs and monkeys were the animals usually used by scientists to find out exactly(21) dangerous the conditions were in outer space.And they were also used to assess if humans(22)survive trips beyond the edge of Earth's atmosphere.A total of14street cats(23)(gather)at France's space agency for selection as cat astronauts,but the cats were not given names on purpose in order to prevent scientists from becoming too fond of them.The cat selected to travel to space was simply known(24)C341.C341flew on a French rocket in October1963,taking it to a place(25)no cat had gone before.Then,(26)the news of its flight was announced on18October1963,the French press decided this cat had to have its name.They picked“Felix”after a cartoon cat character,only(27)(discover)that C341was female,so her name was then adjusted to“Felicette”as a result.In putting Felicette in one of its rockets,France added a new species to the list of animals that scientists(28)(send)into space before.Previously,two garden spiders, Anita and Arebella,had been taken to the Skylab(29)(orbit)around the moon.“In the60s,(30)(concern)about the possible danger for a human to be in outer space,scientists and engineers primarily undertook animal space flights to see if they suffered or their lives were threatened by the weightlessness or increased radiation or other effects they might experience up there,”said astronomer Jake Foster at the Royal Observatory Greenwich.“The fact that they did not fail paved the way for humans to begin journeys into space.”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 need.A.unanticipatedB.momentsC.evolvedD.basicallyE.exploredF.clearlyG.navigateH.ritualsI.integral J.access K.inspiringBoat of PowerDragon boat racing began in China more than2,000years ago as part of a cultural community event to memorize the ancient poet,Qu Yuan.The traditional holiday was a time to perform31for good fortune and well-being,and to drive off evil spirits.Over time,dragon boat racing32into a global sport.The Toronto-based Dragons Abreast team stands out at this sport for a few reasons.For one,the79-member team includes people ranging in age from30to93.Prior to joining Dragons Abreast,some members hadn't been part of a sports team since childhood and wouldn't have described themselves as particularly athletic ones.And what has brought these women together is something33---living with breast cancer.The breast cancer survivors on this team are in the same boat in every way.For many,being part of a community that knows34how life changes after breast cancer is as beneficial as the physical gains.The team offers a supportive space to35all the complexities of survivorship.“I was so surprised at how36the racing was for me,”says Liz Johnston Hill,the race coordinator for Dragons Abreast.“It's almost overwhelming how people encourage,no matter what.”Being out on the water and connecting to the environment is an important aspect of dragon boating for many of the team members.They talk about how it provides37of peace and encourages mindfulness,something we could all use more of in our lives.Outside of dragon boat,the members are a(n)38part of each other's life.“We've all been through39the same thing in our various ways,”says the race coordinator Liz Johnston Hill.While the number of breast cancer survivor teams grows,barriers to the sport remain such as cost,time,40to water and practice facilities and the lack of cultural and language diversity.But there are ongoing efforts to introduce more people living with breast cancer to dragon boat.II.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.Like anything built by evolution,the human body has many downsides,teeth without exception.Adult humans only get one set of teeth,which must last about60years.However,a(n)41of poverty,sugar-rich diets and poor hygiene means2.5bn people globally suffer from tooth decay,in which acid produced by mouth-living bacteria eats away the hard enamel(牙釉质)that42the outside of a tooth,leading to further infection and damage.Once decay has set in, all a dentist can do is to fill the gap with artificial filling.But in a paper published in Cell,Hannele Ruohola-Baker,a stem-cell biologist at the University of Washington,and her colleagues offer a possible43.Stem cells have the44to turn themselves into any other type of cell in the body.It may soon be possible,the researchers claim,to use those45cells to regrow a tooth's enamel naturally.The first step was to work out how enamel is produced.As enamel-making cells,known as ameloblasts,disappear soon after a person's adult teeth have finished growing,the researchers46samples of tissue from human foetuses(胚胎),which contain plenty of functioning ameloblasts.47,they checked to see which genes were especially active in the enamel-producing cells.It turned out that genes designed to bind to calcium were particularly busy.48that information,Dr Ruohola-Baker and her colleagues next checked to see whether the stem cells could be persuaded to49ameloblasts.The team devised various drugs designed to activate the genes expressed in functioning ameloblasts.That worked,with the engineered ameloblasts producing the same proteins as the natural sort.For now,the work is more concept than a medical treatment.The next step is to boost enamel production further, with a view to50beginning clinical trials.The hope is that,one day,medical versions of the team's findings could be used as biological implants,to51a patient's decayed teeth.Stem-cell-based therapies are not the only ones heading to clinical trials.Another treatment,known as biomimetic repair,involves rebuilding the tooth crown using synthetic(人工合成的)proteins,which are similar,but not quite 52,to human enamel.The proteins could be included in toothpaste and even cough drops.But synthetic formulations can be less53than human enamel.It will take time for either technology to become reality.One question is how durable the enamel made by stem-cell-derived ameloblasts is.Another is how best to deliver the stem cells to a patient’s mouth.But these findings are

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)When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the1950s in Arizona,watching westerns on his family's20-inch black-and-white TV,he would climb right up to the screen,as if to surround himself with the image.He also wished he could see these moving pictures in color.So he searched through his family's collection of slides quickly,having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn grayed-out western skies blue,or the ground to a realistic-looking green.Sometimes his mom walked in,and she saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set.Often,she would say,“You're going to burn your eyes out!”Spielberg's mom,like all the other50s moms who said the same thing,was wrong about that.But we all know what she must have been thinking:Who is this child?If you've seen even just one Steven Spielberg movie in the past50years or so---Jaws Schindler's Lisl,E.T---you have some sense of who this child grew up to be.And when you see his new film,The Fabelmans,a work of astonishing vividness that's drawn from his own family's story,you'll know even more.Movies have been around for roughly130 years;Spielberg's career has covered more than a third of that.Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It's a jetway for a new beginning.Not every75-year-old filmmaker makes a movie like this.Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early1970s,Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent clip.Yet his career is extraordinary in any context.He's made some box-office disappointments,but naming a badly made Spielberg film is hard,probablybecause there isn't one.No living filmmaker can match his devotion to craftsmanship,to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.56.How did Spielberg's mom feel when she saw her son's behavior in front of the TV set?A.Proud but upset.B.Surprised but supportive.C.Annoyed and desperate.D.Worried and confused.57.Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg's career is regarded as extraordinary?A.He showed great interest in filming at a very young ageB.His career covers more than a third of the movie history.C.He is committed to filming ordinary things from new perspectives.D.His films are all well-made despite some box-office disappointments58.What can be inferred about Spielberg's new film The Fabelmans?A.It's the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.B.It has been integrated with part of his growing experience.C.It represents a totally brand new type of film theme.D.It established Spielberg as the most influential filmmaker.59.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Curiosity makes success.B.Daring to be different.C.A giant in filmmaking.D.A ground-making new film.(B)“A reader lives a thousand lives before he

internal forces that generate Earth’s magnetic field(磁场)can change and that the strength of the field swings over time.This can lead to gradual shifts in the intensity and location of Earth's magnetic north and south poles and even reversals where Earth's magnetic poles trade places.But are these geomagnetic events responsible for extreme weather,extinction,and even disasters?Claims that Earth’s magnetic field is responsible for climate change are widespread online,but scientists say the theory has no basis.“At this time there aren't any credible mechanisms that could make it a possibility,”says Gavin Schmidt,a climatologist in New York."It's not that we're ruling out magnetic effects on climate without thinking about it,we collectively have thought about it,and it's been found devoid.There are three north poles on Earth:true north,geomagnetic north,and magnetic north.True north is a fixed position on the globe that points directly towards the geographic North Pole.But geomagnetic north,currently located over Canada's Ellesmere Island,is not a fixed point---it represents the northern axis(轴)of Earth's magnetosphere and shifts from time to time.Magnetic north corresponds to magnetic field lines and is what your compass locates.During a pole reversal,Earth's magnetic north and south poles exchange locations.This happens on average every 300,000years or so,but the last reversal occurred around780.000years ago.Some scientists have assumed that reversals and the corresponding decrease in strength of the magnetic field could cause a big problem that increased solar radiation was able to enter Earth’s atmosphere,altering ozone levels and driving global climate shifts and extinctions.Kirk Johnson,a director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History,has spent much of his career studying the extinction of dinosaurs.While analyzing fossil records and timelines surrounding his research,Johnson zeroed in on the magnetic reversal that occurred around66.3million years ago.Deep ocean samples revealed significant climate change around66.3million years ago.But this also coincides with a large volcanic eruption in India called the Deccan volcanism,which produced some of the longest lava(熔岩)flows on Earth.“We've always owed that transition to the carbon dioxide released by the Deccan volcanism and the increase of greenhouse gases,”says Johnson.“There are two things happening:The magnetic field is changing,the Deccan volcanism is happening,and there's climate warming.So that would be an example of coincidental climate change.”63.The underlined word“devoid”in paragraph2probably means.A.fruitlessB.obviousC.reasonableD.misleading64.Which north pole on earth is involved in the pole reversal?A.True north.B.Geomagnetic north.C.Magnetic north.D.Geographic north65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The geomagnetic events are to blame for the climate change.B.The decrease in strength of the magnetic field resulted in extinction.C.The magnetic field is changing all the time with the climate warming.D.Internal forces which produce Earth's magnetic field can alter over time66.Which of the following statements does Kirk Johnson most probably agree with?A.A magnetic reversal doesn't necessarily cause climate change.B.A magnetic reversal is accompanied with significant climate changeC.The extinction of the dinosaurs is due to the magnetic reversal.D.Climate change is not relevant to the carbon dioxide emission.Section CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.While these villages possess undeniable fascination,many remain underdeveloped.B.This effort includes the knowledge exchange between the students and local villagersC.Both were selected for revitalization efforts led by the Village Revitalization Team.D.In Sukarara,a local tradition requires girls master weaving skills before marriageE.They decide to be a bridge between tradition and progress,united for their growthF.It's about preserving the cultural heritage and ensuring traditions being passed downStudents’Journey to Empower Rural HeritageFrom Aug.18to22a team of15Tsinghua University students,representing diverse backgrounds from China,South Korea,Malaysia,and Indonesia,set foot on an overseas research exploration focusing on rural revitalization(振兴)in Indonesian villages,particularly within Nusa Tenggara Barat(NTB).With the diverse cultural heritage,Indonesia is home to over83,000villages,each radiating its own charm and character.67The research mission took the students to Sukarara and Sade villages,two of NTB's tourist destinations.68 Sukarara and Sade are a world apart from the busy cities to which most of us are accustomed.The villages are a living test to Indonesia's rich culture and its devotion to preserving traditions.The Revitalizing these villages goes beyond mere economic development.69The weaving skills and architectural techniques of Sukarara and Sade villages are not only beautiful,but they are also an inseparable part to the identity of these communities.It's essential that they strike a balance between progress and preservation.As the journey came to an end,the students carry with them not only the memories of their experiences there,but also the responsibility to make a positive impact on these remarkable places.70They are optimistic that Indonesian villages can experience meaningful development,ultimately leading to increased opportunities for employment and an improved quality of life.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than e your own words as far as possible.How to Be a Better BossWorkplaces have changed dramatically over the past few years.Teams have become more isolated owing to remote work.Technology has brought great benefits but also constant interruptions,from endless Zoom calls to message flows on Slack.With each shift,the job of the manager has become harder.Many report feeling burnt-out,overloaded and confused.Yet in real life everyone suffers when management is bad and benefits when it is good Research based on a long-running survey of management techniques has found that well-managed firms tend to be more productive,export more and spend more on research and development.So the prize for better management is big.But how to obtain it?Read enough management books and you might conclude that managers need to change their personality thoroughly,becoming either Machiavelli's prince or a Marvel superhero.However,study successful managers,and more practical lessons can be drawn.One is to be clear about a firm's processes.Managers should make clear the purpose of a team,what a meeting should achieve and who will take a decision.Meeting agendas at GSK,a British drugs firm,clearly say whether an item is for awareness,to gather participants'input or intended to make a decision.Such clarity means that everyone knows what they are doing,and why.Management isn't all about piling up tasks,meetings or processes.A second lesson is that managers can add value by deleting.Sparing workers from pointless meetings,emails and projects frees them to concentrate on the work that fattens the bottom line.At the start of the year,Shopify,an e-commerce firm,deleted12,000repeated meetings from its employees’calendars.The useful ones were eventually added back.But the firm says that meetings are down by14% since the mass deletion while productivity has gone up by a similar amount.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.穿着睡衣去超市不太合适，不是吗?(It)73.这副山水画的灵感来源于王维的诗集。

Passage 1 阅读理解21-year-old Jasmine Harrison completed the 2020 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge in 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes — a new world record for the youngest female to row alone across the Atlantic.Harrison, who’s from North Yorkshire, England, didn’t have loads of experience in rowing long distances. In her childhood, she could not even dream of such an ambition. She’d only gotten the idea three years earlier when she happened to be in Antigua, teaching swimming, and saw the end of the 2017 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. “Talking to a family member of a young man that had just completed it, I got to know just how amazing a thing it was.I didn’t say ‘not a chance I would do that,’ but it was more a fact of why not do it?” she said.Every day, Harrison would row for about 12 hours, pushing her 550-pound boat she bought with some money across the ocean, covering roughly 90 kilometers. The journey left her with much time all by herself, which she said she enjoyed. But things got a little harder after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music.She had other company along the way. She saw lots of sea life, including several whales. One even rose out of the ocean right next to her boat. “I’m in their environment,” she said. “It’s just amazing.”Twice, her boat was turned over in the night by large waves. The second time, she hurt her arm quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship. When her food ran out, she lived on cookies and chocolate. In the face ofgreat hardship and loneliness, she kept going.On February 20, 2021, she reached the island of Antigua — the end of the journey. She celebrated her arrival with a burger and fries.1. What made Harrison participate in the 2020 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge?A. Her childhood hobby and dream.B. Her experience of watching a race.C. Her swimming teaching experience.D. Her family members’ encouragement.2. Which of the following best describes Harrison’s ocean trip?A. Adventurous.B. Pleasant.C. Boring.D. Expensive.3. When did Harrison begin rowing across the Atlantic Ocean alone?A. In November.B. In December.C. In January.D. In February.4. What can we learn from Harrison’s story?A. The early bird catches the worm.B. Difficulties strengthen the mind.C. Behind bad luck comes good luck.D. No way is impossible to courage.Passage 2 短文改错Our class organized the outdoor activity last Sunday. Forty students participated in them.

It happened on a winter morning when I was walking in the street. I ate up a banana and threw its peel on the corner of the road. Shortly after that I heard a scream behind it. I looked back to see what is happening. A little girl about 7 years old fell down and a banana peel was exactly under her left shoes. She stood up without cry. Then she picked up the banana peel and ran toward the dustbin. On that moment, I realized my fault, and went to apologized her for that. The little girl taught myself a good lesson by her action.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The most difficult part of a Western-Chinese marriage is the cultural differences. Thetraditional Chinese culture is established on the Confucian philosophy, while the western culture is based on ancient Greek 41 . Cultural differences exist in almost every aspect and therefore42 also on relationships and marriage.From the traditional Chinese point of view, marriage is a relationship 43 many aspects such as family, friends and relatives, while from the Western point of view, marriage is a contract signed between two people that is based on trust and love. Furthermore, Westerners’ marriages44 more the independence and 45 of the couple.That is why Westerners sometimes cannot understand why we Chinese need to support our relatives if we are asked to do so. Chinese need to maintain their “face” and “relations”. Even in a relationship, we are somehow still 46 to our family and relatives. Our partner has to understand it and at least does not 47 it.It is not easy to maintain Chinese-Western relationship. Cultural differences may result in48 . Young Asian ladies are fond of western men because they believe they are more gentlemanly and in addition their appearances are more attractive. Western men may think Chinese ladies are gentler and more feminine. My suggestion for the cross-culture relationship is always trying to put yourself in other’s shoes: accepting rather than changing; always respecting your partner but clarifying your own red lines; showing your interest in his/her different culture and carefully commenting on it and so on.There are more and more cross-culture marriages 49 recently. I would like to take this chance to sincerely wish them the very best in their love journeys.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages 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.A new research suggests that animals have a much higher level of brainpower than once thought. If animals do have intelligence, how do scientists measure it? Before defining animals’ intelligence, scientists defined what is not intelligence. Instinct is not intelligence. It is a skill50 into an animal’s brain by its genetic heritage (基因遗传). Tricks can be learned by repetition, but no real thinking is 51 . Cuing, in which animals learn to do or not to do certain things by following outside signals, does not demonstrate intelligence. Scientists believe that insight, the ability to use tools, and communication using human language are all 52 measures of the mental ability of animals.When judging animal intelligence, scientists look for insight, which they define as a flash of sudden understanding. When a young gorilla (大猩猩) could not reach fruit from a tree, she noticed crates (木板箱) on the lawn near the tree. She 53 the crates into a pyramid, thenclimbed on them to reach her 54 . The gorilla’s insight allowed her to solve a new problem without trial and error.The ability to use tools is also an important sign of intelligence. Crows (乌鸦) use sticks topry (撬开) peanuts out of cracks. The crow 55 intelligence by showing it has learned what a stick can do. 56 , otter (水獭) use rocks to crack open crab shells in order to get at the meat.Many animals have learned to communicate using human language. One chimp can recognize and correctly use more than 250 57 symbols on a keyboard. These symbols 58 human words. An amazing parrot can 59 five objects of two different types. He can understand the difference between the number, color, and kind of object. The ability to 60 is a basic thinking skill. In addition, he seems to use language to express his needs and 61 . When ill and taken to the animal hospital for his first overnight stay, this parrot turned to go. “Come here!” he cried to a scientist who works with him. “I love you. I’m sorry. Wanna go back?”The research on animal intelligence raises important questions. If animals are smarter than62 thought, would that change the way humans interact with them? Would animals still be used for food, clothing, or 63 experimentation? Finding the answer to these tough questions makes a difficult 64 even for a large-brained, problem-solving species like our own.50. A. developed B. admitted C. programmed D. injected51. A. inherited B. involved C. instructed D. intended52. A. realistic B. unusual C. accurate D. effective53. A. piled B. assembled C. supported D. divided54. A. potential B. reward C. standard D. top55.

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)Brigham Young University students can now receive the unconditional love of dogs without breaking rules prohibiting pets in university housing.Jenna Miller started her company Puppies for Rent this summer in the Provo area as a way for students and others to rent puppies by the hour.The pups have been rented for first dates and surprise parties and by mothers rewarding their children. After signing a contract, customers can rent them for $15 an hour, $25 for two hours and$10 for each additional hour.Miller offers her seven puppies for playtime rentals, with each dog hand delivered straight to the customers’ door. Her lawyer brother helps her with legal contracts and fees. She now has four employees helping look after and deliver the animal.Carl Arky, spokesman for the Humane Society of Utah said his group is against the business. Puppies need consistency and stability in their lives, he said, and renting them to various people might affect the animals’ growth and development.Miller said the animals are treated well and she has a 100 percent success rate so far finding them a permanent home. Money paid by renters goes toward adoption fees if they decide to own a puppy.65. Which of the following are not possible renters of the puppies?A. Young lovers.B. Party organizers.C. Mothers.D. Scientific group members.66. Miller’s brother’s main responsibility is to .A. draft contractsB. deliver animalsC. find adoption familiesD. walk dogs67. Why is Carl in disagreement with the service?A. Because playing with pets is harmful to children’s health.B. Because some people will be cruel to the rented animals.C. Because unstable living enviroment is not good for animal’s growth.D.

Do you feel nervous when you sit a math exam? For most students, math can be tough but scientists have proved that math problems can actually trigger physical pain.Scientists came to his conclusion with an in-depth experiment, which was published in the Public Library of Science One journal. They began by finding out how much participants fear math. Those involved were asked a series of questions such as how they feel when they receive a math textbook or when they walk into a math lesson.Based on their answers, participants were divided into groups. One group was made up of people who were particularly afraid of math and participants in the other group were more comfortable with the subject.Both groups were then given either math tasks or word tasks. When a math task was going to come next, a yellow circle would appear but when a word task was soon to come, a blue square would be shown.Using a brain-scan machine, scientists noticed that whenever people from Group One saw a yellow circle, their brain would respond in a way similar to when their body is feeling pain. It was like the pain they would fee, for example, if they burnt their hand on a hot stove. But they reacted less strongly when they knew that they would be faced with a word task.However, scientists saw no strong brain response from people in the second group.Math can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMA), math is associated with tension, apprehension and fear. “When you are really thinking about the math problems, your mind is racing and you are worrying about all the things that could go wrong,” explained Ian Lyons from University of Chicago, US, leader of the study. “The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more he activated brain regions associated with threat detection, and the experience of pain.”More interestingly, the brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. “This means that it’s not that math itself hurts; rather, the anticipation of math is painful,” Lyons said.Based on the study, scientists suggested that things could be done to help students worry less and move past their fear of math, which might mean they perform better in tests.72. In the first stage, scientists ask participants some questions to _.A. see whether math hurtsB. find out how much they fear mathC. observe how their brain responseD. test their endurance of pain73. The underlined word “the anicipation of math” is closest in meaning to .A. the attempt of learning math C. the effort to understand mathB. the motivation to work out math problem D. the act of thinking about math74.Which is the best title for the passage?A. How to overcome math fear.B. Physical pain affects math performance.C. Math pain in your brain.D. Unknown truth about pain.75. What can be concluded from the experiment?A. The anticipation of math has no relation to students’ confidence in math.B. Moderate mathematic anxiety promotes students’ academic performance.C. Effective solutions have been worked out to lower students’ anxiety of math.D. Physical pain caused by HMA disappears in the process of doing math problem.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Weather is to blameB. Divided opinionsC. Inheriting characteristicsD. Home of the redheadsE. Greater sensitivity to painF. Gene mutation76.Britain may be the most red-headed country in the world. About 1 to 2 percent of the world’s population has red hair, but in the UK the numbers are much higher, with 13 percent of Scots, 10 percent of the Irish, and 6 percent of people in England having red hair, according to the BBC.77.Scientists have tried to explain why some people have red hair for some time and now they may have found an answer: the dull weather in Britain. The human body needs vitamin D from sunshine, but unfortunately people living in Britain do not have enough of it because of its maritime climate. In fact, Britain gets even more cloud than countries in the far north of Europe. In Sweden,for example, the average daily hours of sunshine is 5.4. In Scotland it is only 3.1 hours.78.To deal with this, the DNA of people living in these areas has changed slightly; scientists callthis a mutation. Originally, the coloring on our body is a mixture of two kinds of melanin — black melanin and red/yellow melanin, but with certain parts of DNA changed, the production of black melanin is suppressed while only red/yellow melanin is made. The result is red hair, light skin color, freckles and a greater sensitivity to sunlight.79.However, what’s more interesting is that redhead DNA mutation is recessive, which means itis hidden and can often skip generations without showing. At least 1.6 million Scots carry a red-head gene mutation, and most are unaware that they do. This is why a person who does not have red hair can still produce red-haired children if he or she is a carrier of this special DNA.80.The research on red hair, like many areas of science, is contradictory. In researchersshowed that redheads are more sensitive to pain, and need more anaesthetic during surgery than people with blonde or dark hair. However, in scientists found that a MCR1R mutation gives redheads a higher tolerance for pain. Research into these aspects of red hair genetics continues. Redheads should though be more careful about their exposure to sunlight as they are at an increased risk of contracting skin cancer. If you are a redhead, the advice is not to stay out of the sun, but to be careful about how much exposure you get, and to cover yourself with a higher factor sunscreen.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Pizza Hut lovers, you can now smell just like your favorite food. Pizza Hut launches its own perfume that smells like a fresh pizza pie. This is not a joke — although it started as one! While it might seem like an unusual venture for the brand famous for pizza, the company’s perfume is already available as a limited edition product.According to the Globe and Mail, the project started out as a joke by Grip Limited, an advertising firm that works with Pizza Hut in Canada, who asked the chain’s Facebook fans to imagine the pleasant smell of a fresh-delivered pie as a perfume — and to name it. Fans responded to the idea so enthusiastically that Grip Limited decided to take the joke a step further and make the perfume a reality.A month and a half later, to celebrate that Pizza Hut Canada had gotten 100,000 fans, the chain’s community managers announced that the first 100 people to message them would actually get a bottle of Pizza Hut perfume. And sure enough, the bottles were shipped to those 100 lucky fans before Christmas.Grip Limited isn’t the only company to attract attention with odd aromas (芳香). Four years ago, Burger King offered a $4 meat-scented body spray for men. Before that in , Stilton created a perfume meant to mimic (模拟) the scent of blue cheese.Pizza Hut Canada has not announced any plans to make more of the perfume in the future. But the chain also said in the release that it’s possible the perfume could appear in stores in the future.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.
