I found myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries(食品杂货). A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers.We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman stopped emptying her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile –warm and comforting—and I returned her gift by smiling back.“Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers,” she said.“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out.“It’s only our second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out why she’d want to date a guy like me.”“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were tough and we didn’t have much money. Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he’s passed away.”I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her.I touched her on the shoulder and said, “You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a very special lady.” I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. “You have a wonderful evening,” I said. I left her with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful flowers.I was slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped to seal it for her –that was the night that I won her heart.80.What does the underlined phrase “her gift”(Paragraph 2) refer to?A.Her smile.B.Her words.C.Her flowers.D.Her politeness.81. The writer give his flowers to the elderly lady because she ________.A.started the conversation first B.gave him encouragement.C.allowed him to pay first D.liked flowers very much.82. Which of the following is TRUE According to the passage?A. The writer was originally quite sure about the reason why his girlfriend was fond of him.B. The writer managed to buy some flower =s for his girlfriend on each date.C. People in Boston didn’t always start small talk with someone they didn’t know.D. It took the writer a while to decide whether to give the elderly lady the flowers or not.83.What is the message conveyed in the story?A.Flowers are important for a date.B.Small talk is helpful.C.Elderly people need respecting. D.Love and kindness are rewarding.(B)Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person’s name,repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.Admit you don’t know.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Use associations.Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example,you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Freeyourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others —an automatic review for you.84. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?A. They will be moved.B. They will be annoyed.C. They will be delighted.D. They will be discouraged.85. If you can't remember someone's name, you may__A. tell him the truthB. tell him a white lieC. ask him for pityD. ask others to help you86. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __A. all their namesB. a couple of names firstC. just their last namesD. as many names as possible87. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Tips on an important social skill.B. Importance of attending parties.C. How to make use of associations.D. How to recite and repeat names.(C)“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remember someone coming up to the canyon’s edge , taking a shot with their camera and then walking away, like ‘got it – done’, barely even glancing at the magnificent scene sprawling in front of them,” Linda Heckle, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science.Henkel was surprised by now obsessed people are with taking picture these days---before dinner, during friends’ birthday parties, on museum tours and so on. You know people just like that, don’t you?They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel’s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains from remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian.In her study, Henkel, led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and to photograph 15 others. The next day the students’ memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remember fewer details about them if they photographed them.“When people rely on technology to remember for them---counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained.But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens on a specific area could even recall parts that weren’t in the frame.So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn’t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just amassing them.’’ Henkle told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren’t usually very organized on their computer.88.The author mentioned Henkel’s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to ________.A. describe the great view of the Grand CanyonB. complain about some tourist’s bad habitsC. point out people’s obsession with taking picturesD. give suggestions on how to enjoy one’s tour89. Which of the following statements about Henkel’s study is TURE according to the article?A. Taking pictures in museum tour helps students organize objects better.B. Reviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories.C. Pictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improve people’s memoriesD. People should spend more time studying real objects than taking pictures of them.90. The word “amassing” in the last paragraph probably means_________________.A. displayingB. collectingC. ignoringD. remembering91. What is the article mainly about?A. Some skills to learn for taking pictures.B. People’s obsession with taking pictures.C. How pictures remind us of our past.D. How to deal with pictures after taking trips.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the wording given in the brackets.92. 知识的传播会使世界成为一个更加美好的地方。

Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for youinstead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn on the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(自觉)when they're in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn't have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites(食欲). In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room ate 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it's time to repaint, go blue.Don't forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake jumps by 14 percent. And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.(1)The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________.A.their home comfortsB.house buyingC.their body shapeD.healthy diets(2)A home environment in blue can help people ________.A.digest food betterB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD.regain their appetites(3)What are people advised to do at mealtimes?e smaller spoons.B.Play fast music.C.Eat quickly.D.Turn down the lights.4.In times of economic crisis(危机), Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression(经济大萧条)is any guide, we may see a drop in our sky-high divorce rate. But this won't necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages, nor is the trend likely to last. In the long run. theDepression weakened American families. and the current crisis will probably do the same.We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. The divorce rate, which had been rising slowly since the Civil War, suddenly dropped in 1930, the year after the Depression began. By 1932, when nearly one quarter of the workforce was unemployed, it had dropped by around 25% from 1929. But this does not mean that people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn't afford to divorce.Today, considering the job losses of the past year. fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households. What's more, the housing market will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.After financial disasters, family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities. In a 1940 book, Mirra Komarovsky described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing bis job" with tireless search for work. "He was always active, looking for part-time jobs or washing windows for neighbors. Another unemployed man initially enjoyed spending more time with his young children.The problem is that such enthusiasm is hard to keep up. The men Komarovsky studied eventually grew discouraged and their relationships with their wives and teenage children worsened. Across the country, many similar families finally failed to keep their families together. Then the divorce rate began to rise again.Millions of American families may now be in the early stage of their responses to the current crisis. During the Depression this stage seemed to last a year at most. Today, it might last longer. Wives now share with their husbands the burden of earning money, and the government provides more assistance. But history suggests that this response will be temporary. By 1940 the divorce rate was higher than before the Depression. So it is only when the economy is healthy again that we will begin to see just how many broken families have been created.(1)In the initial stage, what is the current economic crisis likely to cause?A.Leading to more family conflicts.B.Helping create strong family ties.C.Causing a drop in the divorce rate.D.Tearing many troubled families apart.(2)Why did many unhappy couples choose to stick together in the Depression?A.Living separately would be costly.B.They didn't want to hurt their kids.C.Starting a new family would be hard.D.They expected things to become better.(3)The author mentions the 1940 book to show that ________.A.hardships made people more courageousB.support between family members didn't lastC.the man was the only bread-winner of the familyD. many families pulled together to survive the crisis(4)What can be implied from the last paragraph?A.Money is the basis of many a happy marriage.B. It will take a long time for the economy to recover.C.The economic recovery will see a higher divorce rate.D.The current crisis is much more serious than the Depression.5.A US government study has found that facial recognition technology is getting better at identifying people wearing masks. The study is part of an ongoing research by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST). The agency has examined the effectiveness of more than 150 facial recognition systems on people wearing face coverings. The systems are powered by machine learning algorithms(算法).The first results of the study were announced in July, as health officials across the world urged people to wear masks to limit the spread of COVID-19. New findings were released this week. Police agencies have long used facial recognition technology to search for and help catch criminals. It can also be used to unlock phones or other electronic devices. Some robots use facial recognition technology to recognize the people they are communicating with. However, the wide use of masks in public has created major difficulties for such systems.The study looked at facial recognition systems already in use before the pandemic. It also looked at systems specially developed to work on masked faces. The NIST said it processed a total of 6.2 million images for the experiment. People in the images were not actually wearing masks. So, the researchers digitally added different mask shapes to faces in the pictures for use in the study. In some cases, up to 70 percent of a person's face was covered in the images. Overall, the research shows the top-performing facial recognition systems fail to correctly identify unmasked individuals about 0.3 percent of the time and the failure rate rose to about 5 percent with masked images. Many of the lower performing algorithms, however, had much higher error rates with masked images—as high as 20 to 50 percent.In the latest findings, researchers included results from 65 new facial recognition systems that have been developed since the start of the pandemic. "Some of these systems performed 'significantly better' than the earlier ones," Mei Ngan, a lead researcher on the project, said in a statement. The study also found round-shaped masks—which cover only the mouth and nose—led to fewer errors than wider ones that stretch across the cheeks. The new study also ran tests to see whether different colored masks would affect error rates. The team used red, white, black and light blue. The research findings suggested that generally, the red and black masks led to higher failure rates than the other colors.(1)How does the author mainly present the study finding?A.By giving definitions and examples.B.By giving examples and a brief description.C.By presenting data and making a comparison.D.By giving definitions and presenting data.(2)According to the study, what has affected the effectiveness of facial recognition?A.The speed of the machine learning algorithms.B.The operators' skill in performing algorithms.C.The number of the tested people.D.The diversity of face coverings.(3)Who is the most difficult to recognize?A.A girl wearing a white round-shaped mask.B.A lady with a red mask stretching across her cheeks.C.A man wearing a light blue mask covering his mouth and nose.D.A man wearing a black mask with his nose and mouth covered up.(4)What is the author's attitude towards the facial recognition systems?A.Objective.B.Negative.C.Uncaring.D.Doubtful.三、书面表达(本题共计 2 小题,每题 5 分,共计10分)6. 第一节假定你是李华,你校上周六在南山社区进行了义务劳动。

AThe Golden Gate Bridge, the first sight for many people arriving in the United States by ship, is a well-recognized landmark, which spans(横跨) the Golden Gate Strait.The idea for a bridge across the strait had been around for many years, but it was not easy to get the project started. The construction of the bridge finally began in 1933. The construction work set new standards for safety----workers were among the first required to wear hard hats, and an innovative(革新的)safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built. The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937, which was finished ahead of schedule.Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer in charge of the bridge project. However, he had little experience with the construction of suspension(悬浮)bridges. For this reason, other engineers, architects, and designers made great contributions to the design and construction of the bridge. For example, the bridge owes its art style andunique orange color to the architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. Charles Alton Ellis was the main engineer on the project and did much of the technical work necessary to build the bridge.Today, the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200 feet and a total length of 8,981 feet, making it one of the longest bridges in the world. The bridge is 90 feet wide, and its span is 220 feet above the water. The towers supporting the huge cables (巨缆) rise 746 feet above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait, making them 191 feet taller than the Washington Monument. About 40 million cars cross the bridge every year. There are foghorns(雾角)to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and aircraft beacons(信号灯)on the tops of the towers to stop planes from crashing into them.21The purpose of the passage is to _______.A. describe the construction work of the Golden Gate BridgeB. introduce the engineers in charge of the Golden Gate BridgeC. tell us the history of the Golden Gate BridgeD. introduce the Golden Gate Bridge22Safety innovations during the construction of the bridge included ________.A. foghorns hardhats and a safety netB. aircraft beaconsC. hardhats and a safety netD. all of the above23It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A.

The rumor hasalready been spreading for a very long time.The Mayan’s prediction can account for therumor. According to the rumor, the earth will experience dramatic changes in 2012 and the changes will be disastrous to all of the living creatures on earth. It is widely assumed that a Planet X will return to orbit the solar system. The return of Planet X will have a destructive effect on the solar system as well as on some planets including the Neptune, the Jupiter and the earth. Planet X will cross into their orbits. There’s a possibility that Jupiter will change into a little sun at this time, so folks will be well placed to see two suns in the sky in 2012.The solar flares (耀斑) that occur in a 11-year cycle will reach their highest point in 2012. The powerful solar flares will affect the magnetic field of the earth and cause disasters. On December 21, 2012, the sun and the earth will line up in the same line at the equator(赤道). The winter solstice(冬至) only occurs once every 25,800 years. The events in the universe are signals that the world will come to an end. As a result of the solar flares, lots of disasters will happen that will destroy the face of the wholeearth. Scientists are making the guess primarily based on the Mayan Long Count Calendar.Many films have been made about the end of the world including End Game by Alex Jones and End Clock: Nostradamus 2012. The former provides insights about the way the world will become one state. After the world government is in place, it’s going to be easy to exterminate 80% of the people in the world. The rest will continue to live with assistance from advanced technology.No one knows whether the world will end on December 21, 2012: There is no clear answer until the day arrives. Just as the Mayans claim, it will not be the time for the world to end. Instead, it will be the dawn of a fresh start.33. What is the passage mainly about?A. Destructive effects of the end of the world.B. Information about end-of-the-world predictions.C. Some doubts about end-of-the-world predictions.D. Different opinions about end-of-the-world predictions.34 The underlined word “exterminate”in Paragraph 3 probably means “__________”.A. killB. saveC. helpD. rule35. What is the author’s attitude to the rumor that the world will end?A. Unconcerned. .B. Sad.C. OptimisticD. Scared.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,选项中有两项为多余选项。

After you have messed up(弄乱)something, you should learn to clean it up yourself.Cleanliness is indeed close to godliness(信奉上帝).Don't mistake knowledge for wisdom. No matter how much information or knowledge yo u have gained, you'll never make sound(正确的)judgments if you don't have wisdom. Wisdom comes from imagination and reflection(反省).If you can imagine the possible future outcomes of your present decisions and actions, you can avoid mistakes.And if you can reflect on the mistakes you have made, you can avoid making the same mistakes again and again.Such is wisdom.Don't complain.When you take up a job, do your best to carry it out.Don't waste time complaining about it, no matter how difficult and boring it is.Finally, be an early bird.If you get up earlier than the sun, you can watch it rising up slowly into the sky.And the sight of the rising sun will warm your heart and give you energy for the day ahead.Besides, being an early bird, you have plenty of time to take exercise or do a lot of work.21.The father wants to give his daughter some advice, because ___A. the father is a philosopher(哲学家)B. another period of life lies ahead of him/herC. he/she does not know how to behave himself/herselfD. the teacher is disappointed at his son's/daughter's performance22.According to the father, wisdom enables one to ________.A. avoid one's responsibilitiesB. acquire(获得)a lot of knowledgeC. complain about many thingsD. evaluate(评价)situations correctly23.In the opinion of the father, complaining ________.A. gets you nowhereB. is a pleasant thingC. usually leads to successD. can be appreciated by people24.The father says that being an early bird makes one ________.A. sleepy and tiredB. clean and happyC. hungry and angryD. energetic and efficient(高效的)BLivescribe Echo Smartpen, $79.99This pen not only records audio, but also records whatever the user writes and even draws.

In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system,which allowed the boy to go out with the master carpenter,or ploughman,to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roof-mending,and so to learn his trade.In some agricultural collegesat the present time young men have to do a year’s work on a farm before their theoretical training at college.The great advantage of this system is that it lets the apprentice see the practical problems before he sets to work learning how to solve them,and he can therefore take a more intelligent interest in his theoretical work. Since more knowledge of more things is now required in order to cope with the adult world,the period of growing-up to independence takes much longer than it did in more primitive community,and the responsibility for such education,which formerly was in the hands of the parents,is now necessarily undertaken by experts at school. But that should not make us lose sight of the basic principle,namely the need and the desire of the adolescent to engage responsibly in the real pursuits of life and then to learn how—to learn through responsibility,not to learn before responsibility.28.Acc ording to the author,what is the natural way of education?A. Doing things while learning.B. Doing things before learning.C. Doing things as an apprentice.D. Learning practical knowledge first.29.The main advantage of the natural way of education,whether in primitive or modern times,is that learners .A. can learn the trade through solving problems at workB. can work with their masters throughout their learningC. are given opportunities to develop their interest firstD. are given more freedom in doing things and learning30.According to cont ext,“this” in the third paragraph refers to ________.A. the kind of skills boys learned from their fatherB. the difficulties modern adolescents experienceC. the amount of freedom in learning in primitive lifeD. the way of learning in primitive communities31.Which of the following sums up the author’s main point?A. The apprenticeship system was effective in learning.B. Learning to solve problems is learning through responsibility.C. Students develop their interest through learning.D. Students should be given more freedom in learning.DI travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker mi ght say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!32.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________.A. describe the place carefullyB. refer to recognizable buildings and placesC. show him a map of the placeD. tell him the names of the streets33.Which is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Kansas.C. Los Angeles.D. Iowa.34.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. for funD. so as to be polite35.What can we infer from the text?A. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.B. People have similar understandings of politeness.C. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.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。
