Every year, students across the U.K.engage in the annual ritual (仪式) of telling
college and university admissions officers why they deserve a seat at the school of their
choice.However, this task is filled with anxiety and fear.1．This, of course, leads many to ask
the question: How should I write an essay about myself for college? Here are tips to keep in
mind.
2． For example, if all your friends are writing application essays about covid-19, that
may be a good reason why you should avoid it.Unless, of course, you’ve had a vivid,
life-changing experience that you are burning to share.Admissions counselors say that the
best essays help them learn something about the candidate that they would never know from
reading the rest of the application.
Keep your individuality in the spotlight.3． What sets you apart from others? Tell your
extraordinary story but remember not to oversell yourself.Your reader wants to see something
personal about you, something that makes you stand out among others.Imagine how many
applications the admissions committee reads per day, and think twice before writing some
general information that doesn’t show your individuality.
Committees value authenticity.They want to hear your voice.This essay may give you
the time and space to explain why a particular achievement means too much to you.But resist
the urge to exaggerate: admission counselors read thousands of essays each year.4．
Sound like yourself.Don’t use words you wouldn’t normally use.Don’t use fancy
language you wouldn’t use in real life.Imagine yourself reading this essay out loud to a
classroom full of people who have never met you.5． Be on the lookout for words and
phrases like ‘maybe’ ‘sort of’ ‘I think’ or anything else.
A．They can spot something unreal.

Four most important eye expressions
The language of our eyes is one of the most powerful and useful tools of non-verbal (非
语言的) communication. 6． Here are four most important eye expressions that we see every
day.
1. Smiling eyes
Researchers have long noticed that a sincere smile starts with our eyes. When we are
sincerely happy, the skin around the corners of our eyes crinkles (出现皱纹). But a social,
polite smile touches only our lips (嘴唇). 7． For example, when a shop assistant smiles at
you, offering help, you will immediately get the feeling that they are just trying to sell you
something
2. 8．
People who avoid eye contact during a conversation are often considered as insincere.
What does little or no eye contact mean then? Anything from shyness to nervousness.
3. Friendly eyes
When you are carrying on a conversation, looking the speaker straight in the eyes sends
a clear message to him: 9． This is why so many public speaking experts advise keeping eye
ntact with the speaker.
4. “Shut” eyes
Covering the eyes for a long period of time sends a message that you are trying to block
out something that you do not want to hear. For example, a man who is asked to work on the
weekend may cover his eyes with his fingers as he answers, “No problem.” 10．.
A．Shy eyes
B．Empty eyes
C．Such behavior is seen with liars.
D．You are paying attention to the talk.
试卷第 3页，总 119页
E.The smile you are given is not in the eyes.
F.What his gestures are showing is that he is not happy about it at all.
G.So it is important to learn how to read the body language of the eyes.
Five Ways to Manage Your Classroom
Establishing a safe and productive learning environment is a key element in providing
quality education. The aims of classroom management are to maintain order, to develop a
positive learning environment and to establish rules and routines. Here are some tips on how
to manage your classroom.
Reduce distractions. 11． Seat students with attention difficulties in the middle of the
classroom, sur-rounded by students who are able to focus on the work. The focused students
will act as buffers (起缓冲作用的人) between the easily distracted students and the high-
traffic areas.
Develop classroom rules. Work with the students to develop a list of rules for behavior
within the classroom. Ask them, as a group, what things they should not do in the classroom
and create a list of these.
12．
Encourage appropriate behavior. Make stickers (贴纸) with praise such as “good
listener,, “great focus” and “well-done” and hand these out to students when you notice
appropriate behavior. 13．
14． Walk into the class and be ready to teach immediately. Organize your lesson plans
in order and have your materials ready for each lesson. Write the agenda for the class or day
on the board so that the students know what to expect. Know what you are going to be doing
at each part of the day.
Be aware. In the classroom, stand where you can see all the students at all times. Walk
around the class-room while you teach or when the students are doing individual work. Be
aware of what each student is doing —listening, understanding, daydreaming, or misbehaving.
15．
A．Be prepared.
B．Learn all the materials that you need.
C．Build time for discussions and questions.
D．The students can decorate their workbooks with the stickers.
试卷第 4页，总 119页
E.Discuss how to create rules so that these behavior do not occur.
F.Let the students know that you are always aware of what is going on in the classroom.
G.Limit the distractions within the classroom to allow the children to focus on the task at
hand.
Rujuta Teredesai grew up in Pune, a city in India. She saw that girls and boys in her
community were not treated equally. Girls were responsible for all the household
work.16．women didn't have the same rights as men. They often suffered from mistreatment
and sometimes even physical violence.
17．But she saw that organizations working to end gender discrimination usually paid
attention only to the actions and attitudes of girls. "Nobody talked to young boys about
equality," she said.18．The organization, Equal Community Foundation (ECF), now reaches
40,000 people in 20 communities in Pune.
ECF matches small groups of boys, ages 14 to 17, with male mentors for a 15-week
period. The mentors talk to the boys about treating girls with respect.19．They discuss times
when the boys experienced unfair treatment. Then they work with the boys to come up with
ways the boys can help spread tolerance. Boys have completed projects like making maps of
the safest routes for girls to walk at night.
"What we have found is that these boys don't mean to be discriminatory," Teredesai
says. "They don't mean to hurt someone.20．" When boys work to make girls' lives better,
everyone in the community wins.
A．They help boys relate to girls' experiences.
B．It's part of the solution to end discrimination.
C．It's just that they don't realize they’re doing it.
D．Many families didn't send their daughters to school.
E.Unfair treatment of girls and women is a problem in India.
F.Teredesai wanted to make a difference for girls and women.
G.So she decided to create a space for boys to learn about girls' rights.
Snacking is a popular American pastime. When done correctly, it can be a good
thing, helping you prevent overeating and keeping your blood sugar and energy level stable.
But most snacks tend to be highly processed, low in nutrients and high in sugar. They can
give you temporary energy, but very quickly you’ll feel hungry again. 21．

Put it on a plate.
22．We’ve all quickly eaten up a bag of chips after swearing we’d just eat a handful or
two. A couple of chips can quickly turn into more when you aren’t paying attention. Putting
your snack on a plate will help you stick to one serving and paying attention to what you’re
eating will leave you feeling more satisfied.
23．
The best snack is one that provides carbohydrates, protein and fat. Carbs provide a
source of energy, while fat and protein help to slow digestion, stabilize blood sugar levels and
sustain that energy longer. This nutrient combination keeps cravings(渴望) at bay and ensures
you’ll feel full and satisfied until your next meal.
Eat regular meals.
If you’re unable to go more than an hour or two before reaching for a snack, it’s time to
look at your meals. While it’s normal for some people to feel hungry between meals, your
main meals should keep you full for at least two to three hours. 24．All of these can help to
slow down the process of digesting food.
Be prepared.
Keep nutritious foods on hand in case a meeting runs late or you’re out and about
between meals. 25．Foods like dried beef, fresh fruit, nuts, cheese sticks and whole-grain
biscuits all travel well.
A．Make it balanced.
B．Pay attention to your body.
C．Follow these tips to snack responsibly.
D．So you don’t end up empty-handed when you feel hungry.
E.Before reaching for a snack, ask what you’re really in the mood for.
F.Eating food directly out of a bag or box encourages mindless eating.
G.If you feel hungry sooner, make sure you’re getting plenty of protein, fiber and fat.

How to Eat slowly to Avoid Overeating
Eating slowly can help you to better understand your real hunger signals and can help
you to recognize reasons for faster eating, such as emotions or simply liking the taste of a
food. However, eating slowly is not a decision that you make suddenly.31．
Adjust you mind. Do not even attempt to acquire the habit of eating slowly before you're
mentally ready. Relax and use your imagination to create mental images that your brain will
remember. As part of this mental process, imagine yourself lean and fit.
32． Eating slowly isn't just about slowing down the chewing; it also about slowing
down your food choices. As you show out the processed food, replace it with healthy,
unprocessed or much less processed choices.
Always relax before you start eating. Take a few deep breaths through the nose and not
试卷第 7页，总 119页
through the mouth. As you do so, hold your breath briefly and exhale(呼气) slowly by the
mouth.33．In this way, you start to remove any risk of comfort eating.
Drink a glass of water or eat a small bowl of soup before your main dish. This will help
you sense of fullness. Be aware that not everyone advocates drinking during a meal
though ,as some people believe that this can remove the nutrients from your meal. 34．
Spend at least 20 minutes on your meal . 35． Eat your last portion really slowly , if you
are still hungry after 20 minutes ,it means you are eating too fast !
A．Put the fork down after putting food in your mouth.
B．Get rid of the stress before you start eating.
C．Rather, it's a habit that you'll need to acquire with practice.
D．However, specialists believe water actually aids in digestion.
E.Remove as many processed foods from your plate or food storage as possible.
F.Have a wall clock in plain view from the table to adjust your eating speed.
G.It is wise to speak to your doctor about this, if it's still the case for you.
The biggest complaint I hear is, “I don’t have enough time.” Trust me — I get it! So
here are five simple tips to keep you consistently (稳定地) working out.
1. Schedule it.
36． I mean it. Open up your calendar and schedule it into your day. This makes sure
you do have the time each day.
2. Keep your scheduled appointment.
Now that your exercise is scheduled, keep your appointment! 37． Your health and
happiness are just as important as any other appointment. Honour yourself.
3. Exercise first in the morning.
Most of us don’t have business meetings or doctors’ appointments at 5:30 a. m. This is
prime time to get your workouts done. 38． But after two weeks you will get used to it. I
promise!
4. 39．
Day one, do a HIIT workout. Day two, lift heavy weights. Day three, increase joint
mobility with yoga. Boredom is one of the biggest reasons why people don’t stick with an
exercise program. Don’t wake up and run every day. You have got to mix them up.
5. 40．

The more fun you have while exercising, the more likely you are to do it. On weekends
go for a long bike ride or hike with your family. Or, do your normal exercise routine with

some will inspire you to do better. At the same time, you are playing some role in their lives
as well. Know that paths cross for a reason and treat people with significance.
42．There is no better joy than helping people see a vision for themselves, seeing them
go to levels higher than they ever would have imagined on their own. But that doesn’t mean
you have to fix them or enable them;43．Offer them support and motivation as they find their
own way and show you what they’re capable of. All you have to do is believe in them.
Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up. We like to think of life as
a meritocracy(精英统治),so it’s easy to look down on someone who isn’t as successful or
accomplished or well educated as you are. But you have no idea how far that person has
already climbed or where they will end up. Time could easily reverse(颠倒) your positions,44．

Gold, oil and diomand are obviously worth a lot. But some valuable products are
less obvious -- and much more off-putting. New research has shown that the waste produced
by seabirds could be worth nearly half a billion dollars annually.
That's because seabird feces(排泄物), also known as guano, can be used as commercial
fertilizer and is vital for contributing nutrients to marine ecosystems. In an effort to raise
awareness about the importance of seabirds and protecting their habitats, scientists set out to
quantify(量化) the contributions of seabirds and show the cost of declining seabird
populations by valuing their waste.
Its value is estimated at more than $473 million each year and possibly much more,
according to a new paper published today in the journal Trends in Ecology & Evolution.
"Guano production is an ecosystem service made by seabirds at no cost to us -- I can go
to an island, collect the guano, and sell it at market price as fertilizer," study coauthor Marcus
V. Cianciaruso, an ecology professor at the Federal University of Goiás in Brazil, said in a
press release. "Because there is this scientific and biological importance, it's possible to
quantify seabird ecosystem services in a language that the general public and policymakers
can begin to understand."
Although only a few seabird species produce guano that is currently commercialized in
Peru, Chile and other countries, the waste of other birds contributes vital nutrients to marine
ecosystems and is also important for coastal economies.
In coral reef ecosystems, the nutrients from guano can increase the number of reef fish
by up to 48%. That's important for fisheries and tourism in places like the Caribbean,
Southeast Asia and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. "We made a very conservative
estimate that 10% of coral reef fish stocks depend on seabird nutrients," said Plazas-Jiménez.
"According to the United Nations and the Australian government, the annual economic
returns of commercial fisheries on coral reefs is over $6 billion. So 10% of this value is
试卷第 10页，总 119页
around $600 million per year."
46．Which of the following word can best replace the word “off-putting” ?
A．exciting B．discouraging C．flexible D．disgusting
47．What can we infer according to what Marcus V. Cianciaruso said?
A．Policymakers have understood the value of protecting seabirds very well.
B．The waste of seabirds can bring severe pollution to the ecosystem.
C．Seabirds can assist us in cleaning the environment.
D．Valuing seabirds’ waste can help people realize the importance of seabirds.
48．How does the author prove the economic value of seabirds’ waste in paragraph 6?
A．Giving examples B．Providing figures
C．Making comparison D．Analyzing cause and effect
49．Which of the following might be the best title?
A．Environmental Protection Counts
B．Waste can be Worth Millions
C．Fisheries Catch a Break
D．A New Business
CHICAGO--- Airplanes are polluters. They're as noisy as a rock concert, and send
out poisons into the air as well as dump millions of pounds of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere every year. By 2050, emissions (排放) from planes are expected to become one
of the largest contributors to global warming.
That’s why researchers at MIT are designing a completely new type of airplane for
NASA that will enable greener airplanes to take flight before 2050.
The 180-passenger D “double bubble” series was designed to replace the Boeing 737
class aircraft, the most popular jetliner in the world right now. The design is called a “double
bubble” because it uses two partial cylinders (气缸) placed side by side. Those two cylinders
create a wider structure that looks like two soap bubbles joined together.
In today’s commercial airplanes, air flows directly into the engines located on the plane’s
wings. That high-speed air flow drags on the plane, and requires more fuel to overcome the
design inefficiency.
MIT’s design changes all that. By moving the engines to the plane’s tail, they take in
slower moving air present in the wake of the fuselage (机舱). Less drag means less fuel is
试卷第 11页，总 119页
needed to get the plane the same distance.
Burning less fuel can help passengers’ wallet as well as the environment. The
environmental implications of saving energy are as just as clear: the fewer emissions that
planes spout（喷射） into the atmosphere, the healthier our planet.
But for passengers, we still have a couple decades to wait before any of these planes
make it onto the runway. NASA’s goal is to make sure the planes that MIT has designed can
take off by 2035.
50．The best feature of the double bubble flight is that _____.
A．it will make no noise B．it will hold more passengers
C．it is designed to save fuel D．it needs no runways to take off
51．Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A．It's expected that NASA’s goal will be realized by the year 2035.
B．Airplanes are very noisy for the environment
C．MIT’s new design will save passengers’ money
D．Emission from planes are contributing the most to the global warming now.
52．What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Here is Boeing 737's end
B．Passengers will enjoy lower prices
C．Researchers are designing greener aircraft
D．Airlines attract passengers with new planes
53．The passage comes from a ____.
A．Science textbook B．News report
C．Travel guide D．Environment research
DINERS
TONY SOPRANO’S LAST MEAL
Between 1912 and the 1990s, New Jersey State was home to more than 20 diner
manufacturers who made probably 95 percent of the diners in the U.S, says Katie Zavoski,
who is helping hold a diner exhibit. What makes a diner a diner? (And not, say, a coffee
shop?) Traditionally, a diner is built in a factory and then delivered to its own town or city
rather than constructed on-site. Zavoski credits New Jersey’s location as the key to its
mastery of the form. “It was just the perfect place to manufacture the diners,” she says. “We
试卷第 12页，总 119页
would ship them wherever we needed to by sea.”

GOOD FOOD, GOOD TUNES
Suzanne Vega's 1987 song “Tom's Diner” is probably best known for its frequently
sampled “doo doo doo doo” melody rather than its diner-related lyrics. Technically, it’s not
even really about a diner — the setting is New York City’s Tom's Restaurant, which Vega
frequented when she was studying at Bamard. Vega used the word “diner” instead because it
“sings better that way,” she told The New York Times. November 18 has since been called
Tom’s Diner Day, because on that day in 1981, the New York Post's front page was a story
about the death of actor William Holden. In her song Vega sings: “I Open /Up the
paper/There’s a story /Of an actor /Who had died/While he was drinking.”

MEET THE DINER ANTHROPOLOGIST
Richard J.S. Gutman has been called the “Jane Goodall of diners” (he even consulted on
Barry Levinson’s 1982 film, Diner).His book, American Diner: Then Now, traces the
evolution of the “night lunch wagon,” set up by Walter Scott in 1872, to the early 1920s,
when the diner got its name (adapted from “dining car”), and on through the 1980s.Gutman
has his own diner facilities (floor plans, classic white mugs, a cashier booth); 250 of these
items are part of an exhibit in Rhode Island.

One of America’s best-known artist colonies, the MacDowell Colony, will turn 110
next year. It is a place where artists of all types can sweep away distractions (令人分心的事
物) and just create.
MacDowell’s operations are funded by foundations, corporations and individuals.
Writers, composers, photographers, filmmakers and sculptors — both famous and unknown
—compete for the 32 free studios at the place. Once accepted, an artist can stay for as little as
a couple of weeks, or as long as a couple of months.
When they arrive, artists find a kind of isolation (隔绝) hard to find in our world.
There’s no phone. No fax. No friends. No family. It’s just a cabin in the snowy woods.
Writer Emily Raboteau lives in New York City. She came to MacDowell to work on a
novel. She received a desk, chairs, pencil and paper — and ice grippers. The walk from one
isolated, one-room studio to another is icy, so colony residents (居住的人) fasten the ice
grippers to the bottom of their shoes.
Another colony resident, Belfast composer Elaine Agnew, plays a piece called “To a
Wild Rose,” written by Edward MacDowell. She says it’s so famous that every pianist in the
world has played the tune. A hundred years ago, Macdowell owned the land where the colony
now sits. He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there. After his death, his wife,
Marion, encouraged other artists to come.
And for the last century, artists have accepted the invitation, coming to step outside of
their daily lives for a short time. Privacy is respected, but cooperation and discussion is
common.
Screenwriter Kit Carson — who wrote Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and the film
adaptation of Sam Shepherd’s play Paris, Texas — has visited MacDowell twice. He says that
试卷第 15页，总 119页
the interdisciplinary (学科间的) discussion there is valuable.
“You sit around at dinner, talking, and then somebody runs off and brings you back some
stuff and shows it to you,” he says. “That, I didn’t realize, was part of the magic here, because
people are really open to showing their opinions here.”
60．What do the colony residents have in common?
A．They find it hard to survive the loneliness.
B．They usually stay in the colony for months.
C．They are already famous in their own field.
D．They are nearly cut off from the outside world.
61．Why does the author mention Elaine Agnew?
A．To show the wide range of the residents.
B．To introduce the origin of the colony.
C．To admire her great musical talent.
D．To show respect for MacDowell.
62．Where does the magic of the MacDowell Colony lie according to Kit Carson?
A．It has a homely feel. B．It values work-play balance.
C．It encourages privacy greatly. D．It has an idea-sharing atmosphere.
63．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Wonderland for artists B．Creativity at work
C．Happy birthday! D．Power of silence
Opened in September 2005, Hong Kong Disneyland is the second Disney Park in
Asia. It experienced a difficult time upon its opening. The Park, as well as two themed hotels,
was built on Lantau Island.
The Park opened to strong competition in the form of Ocean Park. Hong Kong
Disneyland is one of only two parks in Hong Kong, which has become one of the world's
leading cities in recent years. It kept Chinese cultural traditions in mind when they built the
Park to avoid a cultural backlash (抵制). Designers added to the custom of Feng Shui.
Disney and Hong Kong announced the Park in 1999, and construction began in 2003.
The Park had one of the shortest construction periods in Disney history. Disney actually
announced that the opening of the Park would be brought forward, from 2006 to September
2005.

The Park attracted 5.2 million visitors in its first year, below the expected 5.6 million.
There was a lack of attractions, with Fantasyland opening with just one dark ride. Summer
Passes were announced to increase the number of tourists. Autopia, Stitch Encounter and it's a
Small World opened between 2006 and 2008 to offer more attractions at the Park.
The number of tourists dropped in 2007 to just over 4 million, so Disney planned a big
expansion (扩大) project to attract more tourists and bring the Park back to its normal level.
In July 2009, the Legislative Council of Hong Kong passed a three-land expansion of Hong
Kong Disneyland, and in 2010, Toy Story Land opened.
These new attractions have certainly paid off, with the Park earning record profit (盈利)
in 2013. In that year, over 7 million guests entered the Park.
With enough room for a second Park and the promise of more attractions to come, it
seems that there is indeed a great beautiful tomorrow for Hong Kong Disneyland.

Researchers at the University of York in England published their findings on facial
recognition that, on average, people can remember as many as 5,000 faces.
There have been many studies recently on facial recognition technology. But the authors
试卷第 18页，总 119页
of this study say theirs is the first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the
abilities of humans to recognize faces. Rob Jenkins, leader of the research, said the
researchers’ study centered on “the number of faces people actually know.” and were not able
to discover whether there is a “limit on how many faces the brain can handle.”
Jenkins said the ability to tell individual people apart is “clearly important.” In today’s
modern world of big cities, we meet and deal with thousands of people. The study suggests
our facial recognition abilities help us to deal with the many different faces we see on the
screens, as well as those we know. The results of the study give a baseline for comparing the
“facial vocabulary” of humans with facial recognition software.
Today, facial recognition technology is used in many ways, including by law
enforcement agencies to prevent crime and violence. Governments use it to keep secret areas
secure and, in extreme cases, control populations. Some governments use the software to
watch people and find out where they go and what they do. Even Facebook uses facial
recognition. For example, when you name a friend, Facebook technology may recognize the
person’s face from a different picture you had shared before.
For the human study, people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their
personal lives as possible. At first, they found it easy to come up with many faces. But by the
end of the hour, they found it harder to think of new ones. Their change in speed let the
researchers estimate when they would have run out of faces completely. 1,000 to 10,000 faces
remembered. People who took part in the study were also shown thousands of photographs of
famous people. Researchers asked them which ones they recognized. To make sure they knew
these people, researchers required them to recognize two different photos of each famous
person. The results showed that the participants knew between 1,000 and 10,000 faces.
How do they explain such a wide range? Jenkins said one explanation may be that some
people have a natural ability for remembering faces. “There are differences in how much
attention people pay to faces and how well they process the information.” Also it could be
because of different social environments. Some people may have grown up in more populated
places. So, they may have had more social contact throughout their lives.
Researchers think age may be an interesting area for further research. “It would be
interesting to see whether there is a peak age for the number of faces we know”, Jenkins said.
He said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime. But, he added, there
also may be an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.

When our ancestors were peasants in the earliest days of agriculture, the daily
schedule was: work in field all day, eat midday meal in field, continue working in field. Today,
after centuries of human advancement, it goes something like: work in coffee shop all day,
buy and eat lunch there, continue toiling away on laptop until the sun sets. Though it may
seem like the tech boom and gig economy(临时工经济) led the way in this modern mobile
work style, working and dining have always been intertwined. In major cities like New York,
Washington D．C．, Sydney and Hong Kong, restaurants are changing into official co-working
spaces during off-peak hours.
Dr. Megan Elias, director of the gastronomy program at Boston University, says food
and business have been linked since as far back as the ancient Sumer (who established
civilization as we know it around 4000 B．C．) “What we think of as street food has always
been part of human civilization,” she says. “There have always been marketplaces where
humans came together to conduct some kind of business — like trading grain, trading animals
or building houses. As long as there have been marketplaces, people have been eating at them
while also doing business.”

The first example of a brick-and-mortar “restaurant” came during the merchant economy
in the 15th and 16th centuries, according to Elias. During this stage in European, African, and
East and South Asian history, inns allowed merchant businessmen to rest — and of course, eat
— throughout their travels. During the colonial era of the 1600s and 1700s, concrete
examples of American restaurants emerged as “Coffee Houses”. Coffee Houses were places
that had newspapers, which at the time were very small and commercial," author and social
historian Jan Whitaker explains.
Coffee houses remained tradesman staples throughout the early 19th century, with
simple menu items like rolls and meat pies. More “grand meals,” as Elias calls them, were
still taking place within homes for non-traveling folk. But, when the U.S. began
industrializing in the 1840s and people stayed near workplaces during the day, eating
establishments popped up around factories.
“Industrialization of the city is also restaurantization of the city,” Elias says. “Places
sprung up to serve a business lunch crowd and an after-work dining crowd again, still doing
business.”
74．How does the author mentioned our ancestors in paragraph1?
A．To make comparisons B．To present figures.
C．To raise questions D．To give examples
75．When did restaurants begin to provide not only eating but sheltering?
A．around 4000 B．C． B．in the 15th and 16th centuries.
C．During the 1600s and 1700s. D．In the early 19th century.
76．What can we learn about Coffee houses?
A．Newspapers were produced there first.
B．The food served there was limited at first.
C．They were especially popular around factories.
D．It was a perfect place for entertainment and eating.
77．What can be best title of the text?
A．the function of eating out. B．The slow formation of the modern city.
C．the evolution of the restaurant. D．The age of more work, less eating.
Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your life in
these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal

with them.
I know exactly how you feel. Life as a teenager can be hard. You are not a kid anymore,
because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings. However, you are
still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons
that you need to learn from these experiences. To top it all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙
的)imbalance in you body can really mess you up emotionally. I have been there. I was in it
for 6 years exploring what life is about.
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my chores on time. And at that time,
all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments, study for the upcoming test and clean
my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while striking
a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot
of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, quoting from Benjamin Franklin," Never
leave that till tomorrow which you can do today."
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough
time to let my hair down. Half the problems as a teenager are because we hate doing things.
We'd rather go and have fun than sit down and take care of our duties and responsibilities.
That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won't let you go out with
friends because you haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you
because you haven't finished your assignments.
78．What does the writer mainly want to tell us in paragraph 1 ?
A．Teenage life is tough. B．Teenagers can't enjoy life.
C．Teenage life is changeable. D．Teenagers should learn more.
79．What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer?
A．The adolescent changes. B．The lack of life experience.
C．The failure of concentration. D．The unfamiliar surroundings.
80．How did the writer feel about her teenage life?
A．It was difficult. B．It was simple.
C．It was enjoyable. D．It was boring.
81．What does the writer advise teenagers to do?
A．Abandon their friends. B．Go and have fun.
C．Complete their homework. D．Shoulder the burden.

Why do you go to the library? For books, yes－but you like books because they tell
stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else’s life. At one type
of library, you can do just that－even though there’s not a single book.
At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer
as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the book－meaning they would
have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that
individual’s experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced
discrimination (歧视) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices,
disability and other aspects of their life.
For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories,
which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories
have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee (难民), a soldier
suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library
encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs to truly get to know, and learn
from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about.
According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are
expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the community to share
and understand the experiences of others in their community.
The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni
Abergel and his colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European
festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this
event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since.
Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren’t places at all, but events.
Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don’t need a library card－anyone can
come and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe,
in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio.
The stories these “books” tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in
between. And that’s the very point of the organization－to prove that no person can be
summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly can’t judge a book by its
cover－or by its title or label.

Pat McGee noticed her daughter hadn’t returned to the dentist’s waiting room just
before her surgery（外科于术）was supposed to start. She walked to the bathroom and found
Jessica, 32, in there, crying. “we’re going to say goodbye to the old Jessica,” she said. “And
Hi to the new Jessica.” Jessica, from St. Louis, US, had been wishing for this day since high
school, when the bullying（欺凌）about her teeth started. Now that it was finally happening,
she was nervous.
It was a social media post two months ago that got her there. Someone posted a photo of
Jessica with a comment about her overbite—a serious problem that affects the teeth. The post
was shared many times with many people making unkind remarks about her appearance.
The bullies didn’t know the road Jessica had traveled. She underwent nine operations on
her ears from age 2 to 12 years old. She was almost deaf in her right ear. Her adult teeth
didn’t start coming in until she was 11 or 12, and doctors couldn’t figure out why they were
pushed outward. It got worse as she got older. Jessica had been trying for years to get her
teeth fixed, but it was always too costly.
When her story got out, dentists wanted to help her. One of them, Maryann Udy, got in

contact with Jessica and offered her new smile-free of charge. The surgery was long and
complicated. It took weeks for the swelling to go down and several months before Jessica’
new smile was ready.
Later that year, she looked at her old photos online and smiled. “I loved her,” she said.
She’s grateful to be in less pain, to be on the path to a new smile. Sometimes, though, it feels
like something is missing from who she was. Still, she loves taking selfies（自拍）and
admiring her new appearance. “I looked good before,” she said. “I look even better now.”

Our family loves the snow and cheers at the first good storm of the season. While
others may think of Florida, we dream of a cabin vacation in New York’s Allegany State Park.
One particular trip, I recall, was just a bit more memorable than the rest. What we now
refer to as the snow pants incident began accidentally enough. My husband, Bernie, and our
2-year-old daughter, Faith, were building a snow fort while I sledded down a nearby slope.
On the way back up from one trip, I saw a small stone tumbling down the track I had just
made. I was puzzled, since all the other rocks were buried under several feet of snow, as I
stood and wondered about the stone---it jumped! This was no stone. This was a mouse.
试卷第 25页，总 119页
Now, I love nature, but that doesn’t include mice. I loudly protested the invader, and
Bernie, coming to my rescue, assured me that this was not a mouse but a mole, as if that
mattered. A mouse or a mole I still didn’t like it.
Bernie and I stood for a few minutes watching the creature disappear from the path into
the furry white and come back out again. But soon it disappeared and I headed up the hill
again.
Shortly after I left, my husband screamed out, saying that the mole had gone up the leg
of his snow pants. You have to understand Bernie can be quite a joker, and I smelled a rat.
Not wanting to be a sucker and fall for another one of his jokes, I laughed it off. When he
started running for the cabin, though, I stopped laughing and decided maybe this was for real.
“Don’t you dare take that thing into the house!” I yelled. But like a flash, Bernie was
already dashing through the cabin’s front door, with his snow pants, the mole and all. If it
were me, I’d have been down to my long underwear right there in the snow without a second
thought.
A few minutes later Bernie appeared. We relished the rest of our winter vacation,
drinking lots of hot chocolate, sitting beside the fireplace and admiring nature---from a safe
distance.

Hollywood’s only Chinese-American superhero has stirred up heated debate on
social media after she spoke out against discrimination in American show business.
Chloe Bennet, a Chinese-American actress who stars in Marvel’s trending TV series
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D．, explained on social media why she changed her last name from
Wong to Bennet, arguing that Hollywood is “racist” and wouldn’t cast her with a last name
that made them “uncomfortable.”
“Changing my last name doesn’t change the fact that my BLOOD is half Chinese, that I
lived in China, speak Mandarin, or that I was culturally raised both American and Chinese,”
replied Bennet.
Bennet’s remarks come after Ed Skrein stepped down from his role as Major Ben
Daimion in the upcoming Hellboy movie for fear that his participation would be
“whitewashing” a character of Asian descent(后裔).
Racial barriers have been an essential problem in Hollywood. According to research
conducted by the University of Southern California in 2015, nearly three-quarters of all
characters in the top 100 films of 2014 were white, while only 5.3 percent of Asian artists can
share the same privilege. In another report released in 2017, only 3.4 percent of over 1,000
surveyed films had an Asian director.
“Asian artists can hardly stand out in Hollywood. Most roles starred by Asians are fixed
and stereotyped, as if all Asians are good at math and martial arts. There is an invisible
discrimination lurking(潜伏) in show business, as the difference of your skin color may bring
disparity in your income and opportunities,” said Alex She, a New York-based
Chinese-American photographer and movie maker.
Bennet’s experience has led to heated debate on both Chinese and foreign social media.

D．Because the racism in Hollywood’s show business made her no choice
96．Which of the following words can best describe Chloe Bennet?
A．brave and courageous B．selfish and cocky
C．stubborn and aggressive D．overcautious and timid

In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know
all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There’re too many cars, and you can’t move around a
lot.”
Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers
from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late
even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.
He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses
historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What’s
unique (独特的) is that we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic
data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what’s going to happen in front
of you when leave home.”
Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just answer current traffic conditions. With
ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give
the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as
highways, before the driverhitsthe road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available
nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.
“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai,
试卷第 28页，总 119页
Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that
can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with
companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.

War or natural disasters often destroy or cause major damage to sanitary systems. The
destruction of waste treatment systems can increase the risk of disease and even death among
survivors.
Some people dig holes in the ground that serve as individual toilets. However,
micro-organisms from human wastes can reach water supplies and cause cholera or other
diseases.
A United Nations team is now developing a toilet for disaster areas. The experimental project
is called eSOS—for the Emergency Sanitation Operation System. The system is lightweight
and operates on sunlight power.
Scientists are working on the toilet at the UN’s Institute for Water Education in the
试卷第 29页，总 119页
Netherlands. Damir Brdjanovic is heading the project. He says his team hopes to bring
disaster assistance into the 21st century.
The eSOS system has several ‘smart’ features, such as a self-contained energy supply unit.
Another is a global positioning system sensor, very much like the GPS equipment in some
vehicles. There is also equipment that measures waste buildup. All of the information from
the toilet system can be shared with an emergency organization center. Officials at the center
can then identify the needs of an affected disaster area. The eSOS system can also recycle
liquid wastes into water that can be used for farming. This involves treating the urine(尿
液)with the help of a membrane bioreactor system(膜生物反应器系统).
The smart toilet is being tested. Damir Brdjanovic and his team plan to test the toilet at a
refugee camp in the Philippines later this year. The developers hope this disaster relief will
save the lives of many refugees.
102．What’s the best title of the passage?

D．SOS—the Emergency Sanitation Operation System
103．Which of the following is NOT true about eSOS?
A．It weighs light.
B．It serves as individual toilet for disaster survivors.

A couple who held hands at breakfast every morning even after 70 years of marriage have
died 15 hours apart. Helen Felumlee, died at 92 on April 12. Her husband, 91-year-old
Kenneth Felumlee, died the next morning.
The couple’s eight children say the two had been inseparable since meeting as teenagers, once
sharing the bottom of a bunk (双层) bed on a ferry rather than sleeping on night apart.
They remained deeply in love until the very end, even eating breakfast together while holding
hands, said their daughter, Linda Cody. “We knew when one went, the other was going to go,”
she said. According to Cody, about 12 hours after Helen died, Kenneth looked at his children
and said, “Mon’s dead.” He quickly began to fade, surrounded by 24 of his closest family
members and friends when he died the next morning. “He was ready,” Cody said, “He just
didn’t want to leave her here by herself.”
Son Dick said his parents died of old age, surrounded by family.
The pair had known each other for several years when they eloped（私奔）in Newport across
the Ohio River from Cincinnati, on Feb. 20, 1994. At two days shy of his 21stbirthday,
Kenneth-who went by Kenny-was too young to marry in Ohio. “He couldn’t wait.’ son Jim
said.
Kenneth worked as a railroad car inspector and mechanic before becoming a mail carrier for
the Post Office. He was active in the church as a Sunday teacher.
Helen stayed at home, not only cooking and cleaning for her own family but also for other
families in need in the area. She taught Sunday school, too, but was known more for her

I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but I've grown to enjoy lifting weights，and
I've learned from doing it. I enjoy the sense of strength and discipline that comes when the
muscles are forced to resist. I've tried varying schedules — lifting every day, every other day,
two days on and a day off. The every day approach was the least effective. I get the best
strengthening results when I give myself a break.
The same is true with mind and spirit. Without giving yourself a chance to reenergize,
you begin to break down all the connective fibers of your life. I used to just give myself
Sundays off. Now I'm scheduling downtime in the midst of everything — and “everything”
includes two magazines, building a house in Hawaii, working on an ABC movie — and, oh
yeah, my day job. Keeping it all straight was beginning to feel a little stressful. So I told
myself that just because I have ten free minutes on my calendar doesn't mean I want to fill
them. Breathing space has to become part of my daily routine.
So instead of having people lined up outside my office after the first show — I tape two
a day — I do nothing for at least ten minutes. The change has worked wonders. I have more
energy, and I'm in a better mood for the second show and all the business that comes
afterward.
Now that I have the summer off to sit under the trees reading, napping, writing, and
thinking , I know for sure it’s time well spent. I’m refilling my tank so that by fall, when the

Twenty-four trains, nine countries, 13,500 miles. They are the numbers behind the
train journey one man took from Southampton in the UK to eastern China.
Roger Tyers, 37, spent a month on board trains and over $2,500 — almost three times of
the cost of a return flight — to travel to the Chinese port city Ningbo for academic （学术的）
research in May. It was the climate crisis, not a love of trains, that drove the sociologist to
choose this hard route over a return flight. Tyers told CNN that he felt it necessary to stop
flying when UN climate experts warned last year that the world has less than 11 years to
avoid destructive levels of global warming.
Tyers is not the only person to avoid air travel in response to climate change. Thousands
of people worldwide have publicly promised to stop flying, including teenage activist Greta
Thunberg, who has encouraged youth climate protests around the world.
Activist Maja Rosen launched the "Flight Free" activity in Sweden in 2018 with the aim
of encouraging 100, 000 people not to fly for one year. Although only around 14, 000 people
signed the online "flightfree2019" promise, Rosen told CNN that the campaign had made
试卷第 33页，总 119页
more people realize the urgency of the climate crisis and motivated them to travel by train
more often. Rosen, who stopped flying 12 years ago, says the collective promise helps deal
with the sense of hopelessness many people feel when it comes to fighting with climate
change. "One of the problems is that people feel there's no point in what you do singly. The
activity is about making people realize that if we do this together, we can actually make a
huge difference,” she said.
Tyers calculated （计算）that his train journey to China produced almost 90% less
emissions（气体排放）than a return flight.
113．What does the underlined word "crisis" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Dangerous change. B．Difference in position.
C．Unexpected change. D．Difference in temperature.
114．Who called on the young to protest climate change?

A．the "Flight Free" activity in Sweden was not successful
B．many people don't keep their promise to travel by train
C．people used to struggle with climate change together
D．it was thought to be useless to fight with climate change
116．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Roger Tyers B．Journey to China
C．Long-distance Journey by train D．Travel by Air instead of by Train

The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but
the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported
well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The
source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the
blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and
试卷第 35页，总 119页
mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended
that all airlines ban such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight,
particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban
during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And
although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and
landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work
during flights.
The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s
computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths
which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to
reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference
might be dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable to interference raises the risk that terrorists may
use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the
passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud.
120．The passage is mainly about _____.
A．a new regulation for an airlines
B．the drawbacks of electronic devices
C．a possible cause of aircraft incidents
D．effective safety measures for air flight
121．What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?
A．They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.
B．They may have taken place during take-off and landing.
C．They were proved to have been caused by the passengers’ portable computers.
D．They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.
122．Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices
because ______.
A．they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference
B．the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
C．most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players
D．they have other effective safety measures to fall back on

Developed by researchers and designers specializing in typography(印刷术)and
behavioral science，Sans Forgetica is a new font(字体)designed to help readers better
remember the information they read by forcing them to spend a bit more time on each word，
The design of Sans Forgetica is based on a font called Albion，but with substantial
modifications(修改)to reduce familiarity and attain its goal of engaging the brain more and
helping the reader retain(保留) more information.It was developed by scientists at RMIT
University in Melbourne，Australia，who believe it could help students studying for exams.
“We believe this is the first time that specific principles of design theory have been
combined with specific principles of psychology theory in order to create a font，”Behavioral
economist Jo Peryman told DW.
If fonts are too familiar，readers often glance over them without their brain creating may
memories of what was read.At the same time，if a font is too outlandish，the brain has to
struggle too much to decipher(破译)it while neglecting the retention of
information.According to its developers，“Sans Forgetica lies at a sweet spot where just
enough obstacle has been added to create that memory retention.”Its modifications force
readers to spend more time，but not too much time，reading each word，allowing the brain to
engage in deeper cognitive processing.
So does Sans Forgetica actually work? Does it help readers better remember the
information they read? So far，studies have shown that it can make a difference，although not
a significant one.
One experiment had 96 participants recall word pairs presented in three different
fonts.They remembered 69 percent of the word pairs written in Sans Forgetica，compared to
试卷第 38页，总 119页
61 percent for the other fonts.In a different experiment，303 students took a mock(模
拟)multiple-choice exam，and whenever the text was presented in Sans Forgetica，they
remembered 57 percent of the text，compared to only 50 percent of the surrounding text
written in Arial font.
So Sans Forgetica won’t give you the memory of an elephant，but if you’re the kind of
person who believes every little bit helps，it might be worth a try.
127．What can we know about the new font?
A．It is not beneficial to the study.
B．It is more advanced than Albion font.
C．It’s based on principles of psychology theory.
D．It helps readers better remember the information.
128．What does the underlined word“outlandish”in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Strange. B．Contradictory. C．Splendid. D．Ugly.
129．What’s the main idea of paragraph 4?
A．Why Sans Forgetica is popular. B．The disadvantages of the new font.
C．How Sans Forgetica works. D．The unique character of the new font.
130．Why are two experiments mentioned in paragraph 6?
A．To advertise the new font.
B．To prove Sans Forgetica is effective.
C．To show Arial font is successful.
D．To explain how Sans Forgetica serves readers.
A block chain is a data structure that stores time-ordered data in an ever-growing
list, like an accounting ledger (分类账簿). The block chain data structure is maintained using
a distributed, peer-to-peer network of computers with no central “master”. As with many new
concepts, block chain technology generates much optimism and also a huge amount of
interest and excitement. Just what is it good for?
In short, block chains may improve any process where people need to access, confirm,
send or store information securely. This information could be a person’s identity, a product’s
shipment history or digital property like money.
Typical databases, spreadsheets (电子数据表), and ledgers store information about
objects, people, and the interactions between them. Much of the world’s information, from
试卷第 39页，总 119页
credit card transactions to medical and financial records, is stored in these types of systems.
These types of systems have considerable, well-documented weaknesses that arise from
their being centralized. A centralized record is hard to understand and is exposed to
unauthorized access or distribution. It is also, because it is a ‘master’ copy, exposed to
permanent changing or deletion.
Block chains are also used to store information. Crucially, however, they differ in two
ways.
First, information is parceled up into blocks and sealed. Bitcoin, for example, which is
the most famous practical example of a production block chain, stores all transactions across
the network every ten minutes or so in a single, newly formed block. Each block is then
added to the previous one to form a chain.
Second, this “chain of blocks” is not stored centrally. Instead, each block is copied and
distributed around an entire network of peers - be they individuals, public institutions, or
businesses - using distributed ledger technology. (The terms “block chain” and “distributed
ledger” are often used interchangeably; for the sake of clarity, block chain technologies tend
to employ distributed ledger technology.)
Each time someone adds a new block to the chain, meanwhile it is added to everyone’s
copy.
131．What is the biggest strength of a block chain?
A．It promotes people’s enthusiasm about new technology.
B．It strengthens the security of processing information.
C．It enables people to store more data in time order.
D．It stores a large part of world’s information.
132．The typical systems used to store information are weak in that ________.
A．they are difficult to operate B．they can be accessed easily
C．they have a central “master” D．they store considerable documents
133．The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A．making comparisons B．giving examples
C．making a list D．showing the effect and causes
134．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To analyze the weaknesses of typical systems.
B．To encourage the popularity of the block chain.

For the past 3000 years, when people thought of money, they thought of cash. From
buying food to paying bills, day-to-day dealings involved paper or metal money. Over the
past decade, however, digital payments have taken off—tapping your credit card on a
machine or having the QR Code (二维码) on your smart phone scanned has become normal.
Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich countries.
That will make the economy more efficient, but it also brings new problems.
Countries are getting rid of cash at different speeds. In Sweden the number of retail cash
transactions (交易) per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. Cash accounts for just
6% of purchases by value in Norway. Britain is probably four or six years behind it. America
is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. However, in China,
digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.
Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand—younger consumers want to
enjoy their digital lives with payment systems. But equally important, suppliers such as banks
and tech firms are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can
pull data and pocket fees.

In general, the future of a cashless economy is excellent news. When cash payments
disappear, people and shops are less likely to be stolen. Besides, digitalisation greatly expands
the playground of small businesses by enabling them to sell beyond their borders. It also
creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow. Yet it is not without problems. Electronic
payment systems may suffer technical failures, power blackouts and cyber-attacks. What’s
more, in a cashless economy, the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind.
141．What do we know about digital payments in paragraph 1?
A．They've been used in daily dealings for 3000 years.
B．They have become popular in the past ten years.
C．They can only be made on the smart phones.
D．They are leading to cash's dying out worldwide.
142．Which country is the slowest in getting rid of cash?
A．America. B．Britain. C．Sweden D．Norway.
143．Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?
A．Cash payments are less likely to disappear.
B．Digitalisation enables small businesses to sell nationally.
C．Customers can have their credit history built through digital payments.
D．Digital payments may benefit the poor, the elderly and country folks.

Improve Cloud Security
Sensitive customer data has constantly been found exposed on cloud servers without
password protection. To ease the problem, database software makers have been trying to
make security easier for cloud database managers. At the Enigma Conference in San
Francisco, Kenn White, a security manager at database software maker MongoDB, will
describe a new technique, called field level encryption, to make data safer on the cloud.
Field level encryption works by scrambling data before it’s sent to a cloud database and
rearranging it in order when the data is needed for use. The promise of the product is to
protect the contents of a cloud database, even if bad guys access it.
MongoDB’s new feature comes as more and more companies move user data to cloud
试卷第 44页，总 119页
servers, rather than run their own costly data centers. It was predicted that cloud computing
would be a $214 billion industry by the end of 2019. That would be up more than 17% from
2018, when it was $182 billion.
Companies have rushed to the cloud without understanding all of the possible security
consequences. Many companies have left countless databases exposed, revealing personal
data. A database containing details about who lives in 80 million US households was left
unprotected in 2019, just like the data on Facebook users.
Database managers want to store their data in an unreadable form, but they also want to
be able to find specific pieces of information in the database with a simple search term. For
example, someone might want to look up health care patients by their Social Security
numbers, even if those numbers are stored as random characters. To make this possible, field
level encryption lets database managers encrypt a search term on their machine and send it to
the database as a query. The database matches the encrypted version of the search term with
the record it’s storing and then sends it back to you.
This approach only works with specific kinds of data. For example, field level
encryption isn’t useful for long text entries, like notes in a patient’s medical chart, because
you can’t search for individual words.
Still, for data like account numbers, passwords and government ID numbers, field level
encryption protects data and maintains a usable database.
Most importantly, White said, it’s simple to set up. Database managers turn it on with a
one-time configuration change when they set up the database. “That’s really powerful,” he
said in an interview.
145．The underlined word “scrambling” in paragraph 2 probably means________.
A．mixing B．collecting C．hiding D．storing
146．What can field level encryption do?
A．Secure the safety of Internet pages. B．Protect files with a unique style of
storage.
C．Stop bad guys from accessing the database. D．Enable companies to store files on the
cloud.
147．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Companies should move user data to cloud servers.
B．Cloud computing achieved a 17% increase in 2019.

For top students from low-income families，the challenge of applying to colleges is
particularly difficult. 1 in 4 deal with all of that—the writing，the studying，the researching
and applying—completely on their own. One approach to make this whole process easier?
Pair students up with an adviser.
That’s the idea behind CollegePoint，an initiative to help gifted students go to schools
that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized
test—the PSAT，SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile，and their families
make less than$80，000 a year，they get an email from the program offering them a free
adviser. The advisers listen，guide and answer students’questions.
Connor Rechtzigel，an adviser in Minnesota，sees the importance of his role，for research
shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don’t think
they have what it takes to get in and because many don’t even know what schools are out
there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin，the first in his family to apply to
college，think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally，Justice narrowed in on
smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice：
Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.
Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what，CollegePoint advisers do.
Nakhle，an adviser in North Carolina，is working with Hensley，an Ohio high school senior

Jerry was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around
from restaurant to restaurant．The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his
attitude．He was a natural motivator．It an employee was having a bad day．Jerry was there
telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation．
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I
don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time．How do you do it?" Jerry replied,
"Each morning I wake up and say to myself, "Jerry, you have two choices today．You can
choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood．' I choose to be in a good
mood．Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn
from it．I choose to learn from it．Every time someone comes to me complaining．I can choose
to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life．I choose the positive
side of life．The bottom line It's your choice how you live life．" I reflected on what Jerry
said． Later．I left the restaurant industry to start my own business．We lost touch, but I often
thought about him when I made a choice about life．
Several years later．I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a
restaurant business he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gun point by
three armed robbers．While trying to open the safe, he forgot the password, nervous．The
robbers panicked and shot him．Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the
local hospital．After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care．Jerry was released from
试卷第 47页，总 119页
the hospital with fragments（碎片） of the bullets still in his body．
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident．When I asked him how he was．he
replied．"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back
door," Jerry replied．"Then, as I lay on the floor．I remembered that I had two choices I could
choose to live．or I could choose to die．I chose to live．" " Weren ' t you scared? Did you lose
consciousness?" I asked．Jerry continued, "The doctors and nurses were great．They kept
telling me I was going to be fine．But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I
saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared．I knew I
needed to take action．"
"What did you do?" I asked．"Well, there was a big．strong nurse shouting questions at me．"
said Jerry．"She asked if I was allergic （过敏的） to anything．"Yes．' I replied．The doctors
and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply．I took a deep breath and yelled,
"Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them．"I am choosing to live．Operate on me as if I am
alive, not dead．'"
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude．I
learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully．

While walking outside one morning. I saw the most beautiful thing ever.
It was early, and I was walking on dewy (带露水的) grass down to the horse stables —
my mind on the day’s chores.
Suddenly a blazing (耀眼的) flash erupted (爆发) straight from the ground, about 15 feet
in front of me, and shot up into the sky. Its brilliance (光彩) stopped me dead. What could
make such a bright light? Could it be a diamond? I waited to see if it would repeat, but it
didn’t.
I walked slowly toward it, but saw nothing. I stared down at the grass, searching for gold
or some kind of metal — again, nothing. I dropped down to my knees for a closer look.
Suddenly, I saw it. The rising sun hit the grass’ dewdrops at the perfect angle (角度), sending
brilliant light into the sky. It was as if I had just discovered a tiny new world.
It was unbelievable! How could such a powerful flash come from something so small?
On another day, I would have crushed it under my feet. It was as though the unseen world
was giving me a heads-up. “Hello, look at what’s around you.” it said. I’ve never forgotten
that moment.
So next time you’re out, take some time to notice nature, whose beauty most of us never
even see. Our world contains so much beauty if we would just take time to admire it. Look at
the brilliant colors and detailed patterns of small flowers that cover playing fields — we walk
all over them without a second look. Watch a bee harvesting pollen (花粉), so busy with a
purpose, or tiny ants going about their day, or birds singing and fluffing (抖动) their wings.
Stop and stare at the beautiful colors of practically any flower on Earth. All of these natural
creations are breathtaking (令人惊叹的) —if only we took the time to notice them.

Many scholarships require that you write an essay in order to be considered for the
prize money. However, if you are the sort of person that has a headache whenever you have to
complete a writing assignment, this may not be the best news. Luckily for you, there is no
reason to fear the scholarship essay. The following tips could help you conquer this
not-so-easy aspect of the scholarship application process.
You should always outline your essays. This does not just apply to the scholarship essays,
either. An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the
“whole” that the essay will become. Judges cannot to stand when your writing is loose, lacks
coherence(连贯性)or when you fail to connect your main points together. They want to see
that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples and that these
examples do, in fact, relate to the topic at hand.
If you have a choice in the topic you get to write about, always try to select something
you are personally interested in. Don't write what you think the judges want to hear. This will
only amount in an essay that reads like someone else’s, which is not a great way to make
yourself stand out.
If you feel bored with the topic, then your essay will be boring as well. Make sure your
idea follow a clear and a logical path. This means they are connected well and the
试卷第 50页，总 119页
transitions(过渡) easily flow from one idea to the next. Likewise, try to stay away from the
obvious or the sad story. Yes, college will be a life-changing experience, but can you think of
an interesting reason why this is so? And yes, it is terrible that you lost a family member at a
young age, but what does it have to do with winning this scholarship? Judges can smell sad
stories from a mile away, so only pull at the heartstrings(动人心弦) if you have a proper
reason for doing so.
162．When writing a scholarship essay, an outline is necessary because it helps you_____.
A．focus on the details of the essay
B．think more about the scholarship
C．make a picture of the whole essay
D．support your argument well
163．Your essay will be appreciated by judges if it _______.
A．turns out to be loose
B．is short of coherence
C．is unable to connect to the main points
D．supports your argument with brief examples
164．What is the author’s opinion on choosing the topic for a scholarship essay?
A．The essay should include the obvious or the sad story.
B．You must keep your mind clear and logical.
C．You had better try to put an interesting story in it.
D．Try to say as much as you can about your family.
165．The intended readers of the passage are probably________.
A．college students B．judges in colleges
C．essay readers D．company leaders
An artificial intelligence that navigates(导航) its environment much like mammals
could help solve a mystery about our own internal GPS.
Equipped with virtual versions of specialized brain nerve cells called grid cells, the AI
could easily solve and plan new routes through virtual mazes. That performance, described
online May 9 in Nature, suggests the grid cells in animal brains play a critical role in path
planning.
“This is a big step forward in understanding our own navigational neural circuitry(电路),”
试卷第 51页，总 119页
says Ingmar Kanitscheider, a computational neuroscientist at. The University of Texas at
Austin not involved in the work. The discovery that rats track their location with the help of
grid cells earned a Norwegian research team the 2014 Nobel Prize in physiology to medicine.
Neuroscientists suspected these cells, which have also been found in humans, might help not
only give mammals an internal. coordinate(协同) system, but also plan direct paths between
points.
To test that idea, neuroscientist Caswell Barry at University College London, along with
colleagues at Google DeepMind, created an AI that contained virtual nerve cells, or neurons,
whose activity resembled that of real grid cells. The researchers trained this AI to navigate
virtual mazes by giving the system reward signals when it reached its destination.
The AI bested a human expert player at solving the virtual mazes, and proved savvier
than other artificial neural networks in planning ways through mazes larger than those
traversed during its training. When a door opened to provide a shortcut through the maze, the
new AI took the more direct route. By contrast, AI systems without artificial grid cells
ignored the open door and took long the way around.
These findings support the idea that grid cells do more than help mammals orient
themselves in time and space; they also help animals plan the most straightforward direction
to destinations. AI also appears to be “a very powerful tool" for testing other neuroscience
theories, Barry says. He and his colleagues suggest that virtual experiments on artificial
neural networks that imitate different regions of the brain may eventually replace some
animal testing.
But there are limitations to using AI to study the brain. Because the system is meant to
learn on its own, researchers can't tell why the system made a specific decision, says
neuroscientist Francesco Savelli at Johns Hopkings University, whose commentary also
appears online May 9 in Nature.
166．What's the function of the virtual grid cells?
A．Helping animals adapt to the environment. B．Controlling the growth of nerve cells.
C．Assisting the AI in finding a way-out. D．Promoting the cooperation between AI
robots.
167．The underlined word “savvier” in Paragraph 5 most probably means“_________”.
A．slower B．nearer C．earlier D．wiser
168．We can infer from Paragraph 6 that________.
试卷第 52页，总 119页
A．Animals are as intelligent as humans
B．Animal testing on the brain will be reduced in future
C．Humans will' be equipped with' the virtual grid cells
D．Grid cells are more important than other nerve cells
169．What is Francesco Savelli unclear about?
A．How the AI system works.
B．Ways of AI learning on its own.
C．How effective reward signals will work on a robot.
D．The relationship between different regions of the brain.
What do you do when you need to look something up? Go to the library? Open an
encyclopaedia? Click onto the internet? These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the
online encyclopaedia. But how reliable is it?
There’s no denying the popularity and usefulness of Wikipedia. It attracts a massive 78
million visitors every month, and the site is available in more than 270 different languages.
It’s one of the most comprehensive resources available, and it’s got much more information
than an ordinary encyclopaedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people
around the world. Anyone with an internet connection can log on and edit the contents or add
a new page. And you don’t need any formal training.
Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1,500
administrators who check for false information. But with more than 16 million articles to
keep an eye on, it isn’t easy. So, while Wikipedia benefits from being constantly updated with
information from all over the world, it’s also open to “destroyers”.
Some of the damage is easy to notice. One prankster(搞恶作剧者) drew devil horns and
a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gates’ photo, while another edited Greek
philosopher Plato’s biography to say he was a “Hawaiian weather man who is widely
believed to have been a student of ‘Barney the Purple Dinosaur’ and to have been deeply
influenced by his dog, Cutie.”
But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism involves
adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Incredibly,
some of this misinformation has appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail, The Guardian
and The Independent all having fallen victim to the pranks. For example, it was reported that
试卷第 53页，总 119页
TV theme tune composer Ronnie Hazlehurst had written the S Club 7 hit “Reach”. Of course,
not true.
So, if you’re going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check
it first.
170．According to Paragraph 2, what is right about Wikipedia?
A．It is the most useful look-up tool.
B．Only professionals can edit its contents.
C．New information is added to it every day.
D．You can find information in any language on it.
171．Why does the author mention Bill Gate’s photo in Paragraph 4?
A．To prove Wikipedia is unreliable.
B．To tell us what Bill Gate looks like.
C．To accuse someone of misbehavior.
D．To give an example of people’s pranks.
172．What does the underlined word “vandalism” probably mean in Paragraph 5?
A．Damage. B．Recovery.
C．Repair. D．Protection.
173．What is the author’s attitude toward the information from Wikipedia?
A．Favorable. B．Cautious.
C．Ambiguous. D．Disapproving.
In the last 50 years, sea surface temperatures around Antarctica have risen by 1-2°C,
which is more than twice the global average.
Loss of species
Global warming could basically change the ecosystem, leading to the loss of some
species. Sharks are going to arrive in Antarctica as long as the warming trend continues, a bit
more slowly than crabs-crabs are going to get there first, but once they do get there they are
able to eat the organisms that live there.
Professor Wilga said the arrival of sharks and shell-crushing bony fishes would lead to
great changes in the number and proportions(比例)of species found there.
Shrimp, ribbon worms and brittle stars are likely to be the most attackable to population
declines. Animals living in shallow water in Antarctica are unique on Earth today because
试卷第 54页，总 119页
they evolved(进化)in a very cold environment over tens of millions of years.
Extreme conditions
In the course of a process we call Antarctic cooling that started about 40 million years
ago, all major seafloor predators such as sharks and crabs went extinct in Antarctica because
they were not able to deal with these extreme conditions.
However, today global warming is removing barriers to invasions and we’ve seen
recently that crabs, especially king crabs, are on the doorstep of Antarctica-they can
potentially re-invade the shallow waters if warming continues.
Urgent local and global actions are needed to protect this last environment and measures
are needed to stop alien species being brought in through ships.
Strange creatures
Animals that live on the seafloor of Antarctica are some of the strangest creatures on
Earth. The extreme cold and darkness has presented huge challenges to marine life over the
passage of time, leading to the evolution of fish equipped with anti- freeze proteins in their
blood.
174．How will these alien species affect the ecosystem in Antarctica?
A．They will change the extremely cold conditions in Antarctica.
B．They will change the numbers and proportions of species in Antarctica.
C．The sea surface temperature of Antarctica will rise more quickly.
D．The number of shrimp and ribbon worms will increase in Antarctica.
175．How does the author feel about the alien species’ invasion to Antarctica?
A．Worried. B．Doubtful. C．Satisfied. D．Excited.
176．Which is the best title of this passage?
A．Creatures in Antarctica Are Unique
B．The Extreme Conditions in Antarctica
C．Alien Species Are Not Found in Antarctica
D．Alien Species May Change Antarctic Ecosystem
When researching my book Stop & Drop Diet, I become more convinced（确信的）
than ever just how important breakfast is. One study that researched seven years of data on
20,000 adults found that people who often skip breakfast weigh more and have a larger waist
than those who start with a healthy meal.
试卷第 55页，总 119页
But “healthy” is key： As I start reading labels of breakfast on caf6 menus and
supermarket shelves, I realize too many meals are high in calories but proper on protein. A
balanced meal — say, an English muffin, almond butter, and Greek yogurt with fruit — keeps
your blood sugar steady. When your blood sugar is balanced, you avoid energy crashes and
snack attacks later in the day. University of Missouri researchers found that a high-protein
breakfast leads to less snacking throughout the day.
My second breakfast tip is to be aware of add-ons und fillings. An omelet may seem like
a great choice, but adding a tablespoon of each of tomato sauce, cooked spinach, and cooked
mushrooms is just 8 calories, while just a tablespoon of each of other things adds up to 77
calories.
Finally, remember that breakfast plates can often be oversized. Instead of ordering
restaurant combos （组合餐）, which add up to large portions of bread, potatoes, meats, and
eggs, order off the restaurant’s menu. Choose portion-controlled food at the cafe. The average
cafe bagel is equal to four slices of bread! You’ll, be surprised that a smaller option can just
make you full, especially when it is with a great protein source like Greek yogurt or a
hard-boiled egg.
Here, take a look at the shocking number of calories you save when you choose a
smarter breakfast.
177．What can be learned about people who don’t have breakfast in the study?
A．They usually look older than people with a healthy breakfast.
B．They are usually as healthy as people with a healthy breakfast.
C．They usually weigh more than people with a healthy breakfast.
D．They .are usually much thinner than people with a healthy breakfast.
178．What will happen if one doesn’t have balanced blood sugar?
A．He will suffer hunger and reach for snacks later.
B．He will suffer low blood pressure and heart attacks.
C．He will need food high in fat and low in protein.
D．He will still have enough energy for the day.
179．Why does the author remind us to be aware of addons and fillings?
A．Because they are usually rich in fat and low in protein.
B．Because they may spoil the nutrition of the original food.
C．Because what is added is usually full of harmful chemicals.
试卷第 56页，总 119页
D．Because improper things added may provide extra calories.
180．What is the text mainly about?
A．An introduction of Stop & Drop Diet.
B．The weakness of restaurant combos.
C．Tips on choosing u healthy breakfast.
D．The harm of missing breakfast to us.
James Cook was born on October 27, 1728, in Yorkshire, England. In 1755, he
joined Great Britain’s Royal Navy and soon proved his ability. Just after making officer rank,
Cook was chosen to undertake a scientific journey to Tahiti to observe the planet Venus as it
passed between the earth and the sun, which would help scientists calculate the distance of
the earth from the sun.
On August 25, 1768, Cook departed England aboard the Endeavour with 94 crewmen
and scientists with secret orders.
Cook was determined to keep his crew healthy. He insisted his men eat onions and
pickled（腌渍的）cabbage every day, and made sure that the ship kept fresh fruit and
vegetables on board. He ordered his men to bathe every day, to clean their clothing and to air
out their bedding. What he did worked to prevent diseases in his crew.
On April 11, 1769, the Endeavour arrived at Tahiti. After viewing the passing of Venus
between the earth and the sun for several weeks, Cook opened the secret orders and knew he
was to seek out the fabled southern continent and claim it for England. He left Tahiti on July
13 and headed southwest.
When Cook reached New Zealand on October 6, the native Maori people proved to be
un-friendly and his crew was forced to fire on them. The Endeavour spent a few months
exploring New Zealand and proved it was not part of the great southern continent. On April 9,
1770, Cook explored and documented the location of Australia. After months of exploring,
Cook concluded that this continent was not the great southern continent.
The Endeavour made its way to Java in the East Indies in October of 1770. Because of
malaria and dysentery, many of his men got ill and dead. He had to sign on new crew in order
to go back home. The Endeavour made it back to Dover, England, on July 13, 1771.
181．Cook did the followings to prevent diseases EXCEPT that he insisted his crew

Yasuda is 95 years old. Looking for easier ways to search the Web and send email,
he bought Apple’s iPad. The company has sold 3.27 million iPads since they entered the
market in April. Although it’s impossible to know with certainty how many seniors (老年人)
are buying them, evidence suggests that it’s a hit with seniors.
The iPad’s intuitive interface (直观界面) makes it attractive to seniors around the world,
says Takahiro Miura, a researcher at the University of Tokyou. “The iPad is a good tool for
seniors because it’s very easy to use,” he says. Unlike the PC, it doesn’t require former
试卷第 58页，总 119页
knowledge.”
James Cordwell, a researcher in London, says the iPad’s popularity with seniors is
helping Apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “The world’s population,
especially in developed markets, is getting older. It’s probably a market where Apple has least
entered,” Cordwell says. Senior users are a key source of growth for them in the future.
Seniors make. up about 22 percent of the population in Japan. They may prove that
seniors are willing to accept the iPad. Besides the customer group under 30, they spend more
than any other group in the country, according to a report. Motoo Kitamura, 78, a former gas
salesman, bought an iPad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent
him from experiencing some of the mental problems that sometimes come with getting older.
“Trying new things like that is good mental exercise,” he says.
186．The underlined part “a hit” in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A．a sudden attack
B．a heavy burden
C．very familiar
D．quite popular
187．Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the iPad?
A．It has intuitive interface.
B．It is easy to operate.
C．People can use it as a way to do mental exercise.
D．Beginners can use it without similar experiences.
188．What can we learn from the text?
A．The traditional customers of Apples products are usually the young.
B．People above thirty are Apples largest customer group in Japan.
C．Seniors will soon grow into Apples largest customer group.
D．Seniors in Japan are fond of buying latest hi-tech products.

The Terracotta Army Museum is one of the must-visit attractions for all travelers to
China. The attraction is located in Xi’an, in west China's Shanxi Province.
What’s special?
The terracotta Army is the buried army of Qin Shi Huang, an ancient Chinese emperor.
These ancient sculptures were built and buried over two thousand years ago near the city of
Xi'an. They were discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well looking for underground
water. Over a thousand terracotta warriors and horses have been uncovered since then. Each
warrior is made of clay (泥土). They are around two meters tall. The sculptures are so
detailed that it is possible to guess the age, rank and personality of each one. None of the
soldiers are the same.
The best time to visit
The Terracotta Army is an indoor attraction, which is not likely to be affected by weather,
so it can be visited all year round.
As the Terracotta Army Museum is one of the must-visit attractions in China, it is
crowded most of the time. We advise our customers to avoid the following periods when the
museum is particularly crowded:
National Day holiday(October 1-7), when it is fully packed.
Labour Day holiday(May 1-3)
Weather in winter is dry, cold and the least comfortable, and it's also the worst season for
air quality, but it's also low season.
Travel style: private, group or independent?
A private tour means a lot of flexibility and you will be well taken care of by a private
guide and driver. The museum is crowded most of the time, but our guides know how to
escape the crowds, and help our customers to enjoy more in the museum. See our 3-Day
Terracotta Warriors Private Tour.
Going with a group you won't get lost, but i lacks flexibility and personal service.
Travelling on your own you may meet a lot of trouble, such as wasting time on finding a
taxi or public bus to the attraction, lining up for tickets, reading maps, making sense of
Chinese signs, etc.
190．The Terracotta Army ________.
A．was discovered by farmers when doing farm work

It’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked
breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of
fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of
a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables

Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You
have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion(侵
犯) of their privacy.
Self Catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities
(设施) and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent
lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same
family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice
English at home quite as much.
193．The passage is probably written for __________.
A．travelers planning to visit families in London
B．foreigners hoping to build British culture
C．hosts willing to receive foreign students
D．English learners applying to live in English homes
194．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A．Accommodation in the city center is not provided.
B．The business center of London is probably in Zone 1.
C．Zone 4 is more crowded than Zone 2.
D．Hosts dislike travelling to the city center.
195．Why do some people choose self catering accommodation?
A．To entertain friends as they like.
B．To enrich their knowledge of English.
C．To experience a warmer family atmosphere.
D．To enjoy much more freedom.
In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study.
You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet
fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck，but when
you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look
for certain qualities of character，especially understanding, honesty and reliability(信任)．
试卷第 62页，总 119页
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand
how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from
others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be
helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in
others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept
me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he
tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If
I need a favor，he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from
me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with
whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That
is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I
like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor
too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know
that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding，I know I’ve found a
friend!
196．Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a
friend?
A．Understanding. B．Honesty.
C．Reliability. D．A sense of humor.
197．If you have fair-weather friends, ________．
A．they will give you all that they have when you need help
B．you will be refused when you get into trouble
C．you can be sure that you get real friends
D．you will become rich
198．How many qualities does the writer mention in the passage?
A．Three. B．Four.
C．Five. D．Six.

One Halloween a little boy and his friend went out for a fun night of trick-or-treating. At first
everything was great. They were getting lots of candy as they went from house to house, but
then they saw a house which they hadn’t been to before. It was a very spooky (阴森森的)
house. Being young and brave, they decided to go up to the door and knock. After all, scary
houses might have the best candy!
As they walked up the long winding path, they saw things that chilled (使恐惧) them to the
bone! They heard sounds that frightened them. Maybe they should turn back. But the little
boys, being very brave, just wanted to see what was in that house, so they went on, not
deterred by the things they heard or saw. As they slowly made their way up to the door, they
imagined what might be inside. Maybe it would be a witch or maybe a ghost!
After knocking several times, the door slowly creaked (嘎吱作响) open. To their surprise, a
monster (怪物) slowly came out to greet them. They were so scared that they couldn’t move!
What could they do? Then the little boy had an idea. He said, "Trick or treat!" Then the big
scary monster, much to the kids’ surprise, reached over and brought out a huge bowl of the
best candies they had never seen. Wow, the kids thought, this was great! It turned out that the
house was decorated for Halloween, and the big scary monster was just wearing a costume,
just like the kids. Since they were the only kids, and were brave enough to go to the scary
house, they could take as much candy as they wanted.
199．This passage is ______.
A．a funny Halloween story
B．mainly about two brave kids
C．mainly about a spooky house
D．mainly about the custom of Halloween
200．Why do you think the kids were brave enough to enter the strange house?
A．Because they were prepared for what would come to the door.
B．Because they expected to meet other trick-or-treaters inside.
C．Because they were curious about what was in the house.
D．Because they were anxious to get more and better candy.
201．It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A．the monster was afraid of the phrase "trick or treat"
B．the two kids were also wearing costumes
C．not all families prepared candy for brave kids

The home of the future won't be completely different and we will be living in
houses and flats just as we do today. But people will want to shape their homes to match their
dreams. No two homes will be the same. People will be able to buy "house kits" containing a
basic house structure, with movable walls, doors and windows. They will put together the
different parts to create the home they want.
Many jobs that we do today will disappear, others will still exist but will change and new
jobs will be created. Skilled workers such as builders, gardeners and electricians won't
disappear because machines can't replace them. Teachers will still exist because students need
human contact. But they will be using modern technology in class more and students will be
working more from home. The medical technology revolution and space travel will create
new jobs which we can only imagine today.
Space holidays will develop in the future, but these holidays won't be for everyone
because they won't be cheap. Short space trips will develop first, then space hotels will orbit
the earth where it will be possible to have a longer vacation. By the end of the next century,
there will be holiday centers on the moon with leisure facilities for families.
Paper won't exist in the future. Instead, there will be e-paper which people will be able to
use over and over again. This will develop in order to save natural resources. E-newspapers
and e-magazines will replace traditional newspapers and magazines and we will download
information and news articles from the Internet every day onto our reusable paper.
The laws of physics tell us that the earth is going to disappear sometime in the future.
This isn't going to happen tomorrow but scientists predict that it will happen in five billion
years when our sun explodes (爆炸). We will have to explore the universe and find another
home. At some point in the distant future, either we stay on the earth and die with it, or we
leave and move to another planet. There won't be any other choice.
203．Homes of the future will__________.
A．be completely different from those of today.

London: It’s well known that Charles Darwin’s famous theory of evolution (进化) annoyed
many people because it was against the Biblical view of creation. But few know that it also
created problems for Darwin at home with his deeply religious wife, Emma.
“Darwin held back the publication of On the Origin of Species to avoid offending (触怒) his
wife,” says Ruth Padel, the naturalist’s great – great – granddaughter. “Emma told him that he
seemed to be putting God further and further off”, Padel says in her north London home. “But
they talked it through, and Emma once said, ‘Don’t change any of your ideas for fear of
hurting me.’”
As the world celebrates the 200 th birthday of the man who changed scientific thought
forever and the 150 th anniversary of his book today, even his opponents admitted he was a
giant figure.
Though opposition to his theory continues, it is the elegant explanation of how species
evolutes through natural selection that makes his 200th birthday such a major event.
More than 300 celebrations have been planned in Britain alone, where Darwin's face graces

Shrewsbury, the central England town where Darwin was born and raised, is holding a
month-long festival for its most famous son. Down House, his former home near London,
will hold a permanent exhibition recreating some of his most famous experiments.
Many more events have been planned all over the world.
What would he be doing if he were alive today? Padel thinks he would properly be studying
DNA and the immune system.

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory,
for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he
read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the
world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born
stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would
be denied an education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children,
试卷第 67页，总 119页
we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And
dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of
the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully
and was ready with some comment, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning.
Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine,
ready to listen.
“Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.”
“I learned that the population of Nepal is ...”
Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend
upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well …” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where
Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended
only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.
As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family,
however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s
education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value,
giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.
Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous
educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual
learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted,
though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.
211．What do we know from the first paragraph?
A．The poor could hardly afford school education.
B．Those born stupid could not change their life.
C．The town elders wanted to learn about the world.
D．The author’s father was born in a worker’s family.

While we know that language first appeared among Homo sapiens (智人)
somewhere thousands of years ago, the secret to how language evolved is still unknown, and
mainstream theories fall into two distinctly different camps.
One widely held theory is that language came about as an evolutionary adaptation. That
was where the idea of natural selection came into play, which was the belief that the specific
physical features of a population made that population more likely to survive its environment,
like the turtle (海龟) and its shell. On one hand, humans needed to communicate with each
other in order to hunt，farm and defend themselves successfully from the surrounding severe
environment. Being able to communicate by using language gave the human species a distinct
survival advantage. On the other hand, language was needed for social interaction, according
to those who subscribed to the adaptation theory.
In their paper “Natural Language and Natural Selection,” researchers Steven Pinker and
Paul Bloom theorized that a series of calls or gestures evolved over time into combinations,
giving us complex communication, or language. As things became more complicated around
them，humans needed a more complex system to convey information to one another. Early
man saw a group of deer he wanted to hunt. He made a sound to his hunting partner that
means “deer are nearby.” One day,a storm came in and the hunter noticed that thunder scared
the deer away. As a result, the hunter went hungry until the storm passed. Over time, the same
hunter also learned to recognize the warning signs for bad weather-dark skies and increased
wind. Early man realized that when the sky darkened and the wind picked up, he needed to
tell his hunting partner to speed up the pursuit of the deer. Therefore, he came up with a series
of sounds that refer to both the deer and the bad weather. That series of sounds was the
beginning of an evolutionary adaptation that eventually became language.
As humans learned more about how to best survive, they developed a need to convey
these survival methods to their population. To be brief, that's the adaptation theory.

LONDON — A smart toilet could offer a mini health check every time you take a
seat, scientists said recently, but privacy campaigners and potential users said the idea sat
uncomfortably with them.
The device would identify users through an anal scan using a camera fitted under the
seat before checking their waste for disease markers, including early signs of cancer, says the
US-led team who developed the prototype.
“We know it seems strange, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique,” said Sanjiv
Gambhir, a radiology professor at Stanford University, who led work on the project. "The
smart toilet is the perfect way to make use of a source of data that’s typically ignored,”
Gambhir said. “Everyone uses the bathroom - there’s really no avoiding it - and that enhances
its value as a disease-detecting device.”
A set of devices fitted inside the toilet bowl identifies the users and monitors their waste
for signs of ill health which could be shared with their doctors, researchers said in the
scientific journal Nature Biomedical Engineering. Such devices could become common place
试卷第 70页，总 119页
in homes, said Gambhir, as consumers accept health monitoring tools like smartwatches and
internet- connected home devices. But many were concerned about releasing their privacy,
the researchers found following a 300-person survey to assess acceptance. Three in ten
respondents said they would not want to use a smart toilet, with only about half reporting they
would be “somewhat” or “very” comfortable with it. The most commonly reported concerns
were over privacy and data security, found researchers, who said information gathered would
be stored in a secure, cloud- based system.
Despite those assurances, privacy campaigners expressed fears about security problems.
“Health data contains the most sensitive and revealing information about anyone,” said Edin
Omanovic, advocacy director at London-based charity Privacy International. “Linking it to
someone’s biometric ID risks exposing private details to third parties, either through data
sharing or security drawbacks which leave back doors exposed.”
219．What does this smart toilet use to detect disease?
A．A smartwatch. B．A seat.
C．A cloud-based system. D．A camera.
220．What can we know about the disease-detecting devices?
A．They are widely accepted.
B．Gambhir has confidence in their future.
C．Their function has been improved recently.
D．Signs of illness can be removed through them.
221．What can we infer about health data from the last paragraph?
A．It should be taken seriously. B．It will be treated properly.
C．It may not be shared publicly. D．It can be exposed illegally.
222．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A．The use of a smart toilet B．The value of a smart toilet
C．A smart toilet without privacy D．A smart toilet with good intention
Over the past months,dozens of carmakers have launched models online,and tens of
thousands of dealerships across the country are selling cars via livestreaming(直播）.
As Chinese customers always have their smartphones at their side,they have been
accustomed to shopping online. Moreover,the sales are made better received by virtual
showrooms where customers can see the vehicles and interact(互动）in real-time about their
试卷第 71页，总 119页
prices and equipment.
To cater to the new trend,car salespeople need new skills in this world. Good product
knowledge remains the basis,but if you want to be successful,you have to appear in
livestreams like a type of TV presenter.
“Car salespeople are becoming entertainers,"said Michael Mayer,head of sales and
marketing for Volkswagen brand in China. “The competition is tough,"he added. "Those who
want to be found must always offer something new. "
The contest soon escalated. In March,British brand Land Rover came up with a 30-hour
livestreaming event,during which its new Discovery Sport was launched. GM' s Cadillac
invited online celebrities(名人）to help sell vehicles in April.
In China,a young man named Li Jiaqi is believed to know lipstick better than anyone
else. Almost every night,millions of girls and ladies wait for him to appear online and
introduce new lipsticks. Li was invited in April to help market Cadillac' s CT4. Despite the
huge number of online viewers,none of them placed an order on the vehicle priced around
200,000 yuan.
Another online celebrity named Weiya helped attract orders for Roewe RX5 plus:4,180
were sold in 30 seconds. The key,said industry insiders,was the discount. Christine,a
marketing manager of an international carmaker tells China Daily that she believes
livestreaming with online celebrities won't help sales. "In fact,if you give dealers the same
discount,they may sell even faster,"she said. "A lipstick is affordable for anyone,while a car is
different. But bosses do not want their brands to remain silent,especially when others are
seemingly having a good time. "
Some bosses decided to try it themselves. Nio Chairman Li Bin explained products. The
40-minute live show on May 18 brought in a total of 320 orders,5,288 test-drive appointments
and sales valuing 128 million yuan. Orders continued to grow after the show and sales
reached nearly 150 million yuan by the next day. WM President Shen Hui rapped
unskillfully. Its online launch on May 10 obtained 1,400 million views. In two days it
received over 4,000 orders,and more than 30,000 people showed interest in the model.
He Xiaopeng,founder of Xpeng Motor,said“Many people ask me when Xpeng will do
livestreaming. I am worried that it will become a data-falsifying show. Everyone knows that
the data is exaggerated(夸张）。But if you do not do it,you will feel you fall behind. "
Mayer said digitalization will continue,but that does not mean Volkswagen will make
试卷第 72页，总 119页
online sales the standard. He said it is more important to digitalize further process steps and
thus work in a more customer-friendly and cost-effective manner.
223．Why is selling cars via livestreaming so popular according to the passage?
A．It is an avoidable trend that all car companies applaud.
B．Companies can make the biggest profit via livestreaming.
C．Vehicles sold online work in. a more customer-friendly manner.
D．Real-time interaction via livestreaming caters to customers' needs.
224．As car salespeople,what basic skill should they own?
A．Entertaining audience well.
B．Knowing the cars for sale well.
C．Making themselves famous.
D．Appearing like TV presenters.
225．The underlined word"escalated”in Paragraph 5 probably means
A．became less serious
B．sprang up everywhere
C．became increasingly fierce
D．disappeared gradually
226．All of the following have done livestreaming EXCEPT
A．Volkswagen
B．Xpeng Motor
C．Land Rover
D．Cadillac
227．What can be inferred from Christine's words?
A．Discount rather than celebrities counts in selling cars.
B．Car salespeople can sell better than online celebrities.
C．The lipstick and the car share the same target customers.
D．She thinks highly of livestreaming with online celebrities.
Six months before she died, my grandmother moved into an old people's home and
I visited her there when I was in Britain.She was sitting in the living room with about 15
other residents(居住客），mostly women,half of them asleep.The room was clean and
warm,with flowers and pictures,and the care assistants were kind and cheerful.All was silent
试卷第 73页，总 119页
except when the residents needed to be helped to the bathroom.It was depressing(压抑）。Gran
talked a lot about how much she missed seeing her grandchildren,but I knew from my sister
that they hated going to visit her there,and to be frank,I couldn't wait to get away myself.
So I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's
homes in France.The idea is simple,but revolutionary--combining a residential home for the
elderly with a nursery school in the same building.The children and the residents eat lunch
together and share activities such as music,painting,gardening,and caring for the pets,which
the residents are encouraged to keep.In the afternoons,the residents enjoy reading or telling
stories to the children,and if a child is feeling sad or tired,they can always find someone for
comfort.
The advantages are great for everyone concerned.The children are happy because they
get a lot more of free afternoon,and enjoy themselves because someone has time for
them.They also learn that old people are not' different' or frightening in any way.And of
course,they see illness and death and learn to accept them.The residents are happy because
they feel useful and needed.They are more active and more interested in life when the
children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too.And the staff(员工）
are happy because they see an improvement in the physical and psychological health of the
residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.Nowadays there is less and
less contact(接触）between the old and the young."There are many reasons for this,including
the breakdown of the extended family,working parents with no time to care for ageing
relations,families that have moved away,and smaller flats with no room for grandparents.But
the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people
who have no contact with children.And more and more old people are lonely and feel
useless,along with more and more families with young children who badly need more
support.It's a major problem in many societies.
That's why intergenerational programmes,designed to bring the old and the young
together,are growing in popularity all over the world,supported by UNESCO and other local
and international organisations.There are successful examples all over the world,using young
people to teach IT skills to older people and using old people as volunteer assistants in
schools,perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.One successful scheme （方
案）in London pairs young volunteers with old people who are losing their sight.The young
people help with practical things such as writing letters, reading bank statements and helping
试卷第 74页，总 119页
with shopping,and the older people can pass on their knowledge and experience to their
young visitors.
But it isn't only the individuals concerned who gain from intergenerational activities.The
advantages to society are great too.If older people and the youth of today can understand and
accept each other,there will be more harmony in a community.
228．The new concept that the writer read about in the newspaper refers to
A．allowing old people to help take care of children
B．building a bridge between the old and the youth
C．encouraging children to visiting old people
D．requiring more assistants to help the old people
229．What is the major problem in society today according to the passage?
A．The breakdown of the extended family.
B．More and more old people left behind.
C．Lack of care for the old and the young.
D．Children without much care from their parents.
DNA analysis has revealed family relationships between more than 10 generations
of Stone Age people at megalithic(巨石的) tombs in Ireland and Sweden.
The evidence suggests that megaliths, prehistoric large stone structures, sometimes acted
as graves for family groups in northwestern Europe thousands of years ago. The latest
findings throw new light on the origins and social structure of the groups that built megaliths
in this region—a history that has long been hidden in mystery.
For their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomes—the
complete set of genetic material in a cell—of 24 Stone Age individuals from five megalithic
burial sites in lreland, Scotland and Gotland, a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea.
This analysis showed that many of the individuals buried at each megalith, who all lived
between 3,800 B．C．and 2,600 B．C．, according to radiocarbon-dating of their remains, were
closely related via family ties.
The results also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to
Neolithic(新石器时代的) farmers in northern and western Europe but genetically distinct
from other hunter-gatherers. This was particularly noticeable at the Ansarve site on the island
of Gotland.
试卷第 75页，总 119页
“The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a genetic level
compared to the individuals dug out from hunter-gather contexts, showing that the burial
tradition in this megalithic tomb, which lasted for over 700 years, was performed by distinct
groups with roots in the European Neolithic expansion,” Magdalena Fraser, co-first author
from Uppsala University, said in the statement
230．What’s the significance of the new finding?
A．It reveals the family ties between people in Ireland and Sweden.
B．It implies that many people buried in the tombs were closely related.
C．It indicates the long-hidden mystery concerning DNA analysis.
D．It suggests that the megaliths became tombs thousands of years ago.
231．How did the researchers reach their findings?
A．By interviewing individuals. B．By travelling to different regions.
C．By analyzing genes. D．By studying the burial sites.
232．What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．Megaliths served as tombs thousands of year ago.
B．People buried at the megaliths were recently analyzed.
C．Latest findings shed light on a mystery about burials.
D．Stone-age people in Ireland and Sweden had close ties.
Since English biologist Charles Darwin (1809 –1882) published On the Origin of
Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However,
a lot of information is still the subject of speculation, and scientists can still only make
educated guesses at certain things.
One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea
developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land.
Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a
century ago became a hot topic once again.
Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would
have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest
among them grew to accomplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land. Romer thought that
tidal pools might have led to fish gaining limbs.
Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “tetrapods” (四足动物). Science has

always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough
evidence to support it.
Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She
announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, on Feb 15 that by using
computer software, her team had managed to link Romer’s theory to places where fossil
deposits (化石沉积) of the earliest tetrapods were found.
According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University
of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea
was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10
percent closer to the moon than it is now.
The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of
the fittest”, explained the UK’s University of Bangor ocean scientist Mattias Green. As he
told Science: “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food … the
fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (空翻) themselves back in
the water”.
As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing.
Cambridge University paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed
unconvinced. “It’s only one of many ideas for the origin of land-dwelling (陆地栖息的)
tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said.

Scientists have found living organisms(有机体) that could be 50,000 years old
recently. The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico.
These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope, which proves they are probably
microbes(微生物).
Penelope Boston leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA, the space agency of the
United States. These ancient organisms are able to exist by eating minerals such as iron and
manganese. If the findings are confirmed, they will show how microbes can survive in
extreme conditions.
Researchers have been studying ancient microbes for nine years. Forty different kinds of
microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area this time. The genetic(基因的)
structures of these organisms are different from those of their nearest relatives –viruses. That
is similar to that humans are genetically different from mushrooms growing in forest. The
caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep. Before the miners began working in the caves, the
area was isolated from the surface and the outside world.
Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe’s Middle
Ages. There are crystals(晶体) covering the walls. Scientists must wear special clothing to
keep cool. And the clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs or other damage. The
researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they have to go to a room
that is 28 degrees Celsius to cool down.
NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts until the
last week’s announcement. So scientists could not say much about the findings. But Norine
Noonan, a biologist at the University of South Florida, said she believed them. “Why are we
surprised?” Noonan asked, “As a biologist, I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and
versatile.” “What’s more, these organisms are not the oldest life forms on Earth. Scientists
published studies about living microbes that may be 500,000 years old several years ago,” she
added.
237．What do these ancient life forms survive on?
试卷第 78页，总 119页
A．Plants.
B．Organisms.
C．Viruses.
D．Minerals.
238．What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning the example of humans and mushrooms?
A．To prove the ancient organisms are close to mushrooms.
B．To show the area was once cut off from the outside world.
C．To explain the ancient organisms and viruses are different in genes.
D．To show the ancient organisms found differ from humans in genes.
239．Why could the researchers only stay for a short time in the caves at a time?
A．Because crystals tee damage people’s health.
B．Because the caves are full of harmful gases.
C．Because there are some germs in the caves.
D．Because the caves are very hot.
240．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．A beautiful cave system was discovered in Naica.
B．The ancient life forms are too small to be seen.
C．50,000-year-old living organisms were found in Mexico.
D．Researchers find new ways to study living organisms.
English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every
seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of
international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest
vocabulary--perhaps as many as two million words.
However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant,
neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy,
while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes（自相矛盾的说法), we
find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths
in them.
And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and
hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy
are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few
are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human
beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are
invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end
it.

honor of teachers' organizations worldwide. Its aim is to encourage supports for teachers and
to meet the needs of students.
China―In 1939, Teachers’ Day was set for August 27, Confucius' birthday. In 1951, the
celebration was stopped. However, it was founded again in 1985, and the day was changed to
September 10.

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the
city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside
world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon
discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food
and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the
air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round.
Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by
试卷第 81页，总 119页
bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes
in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving
to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very
surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties.
However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the
countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
249．What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A．Staying on the farm
B．Moving to the countryside
C．Leaving home for the city
D．Running away from the school
250．Which of the following is true about the writer?
A．He is very old now.
B．He is in good health.
C．He prefers driving a car.
D．He lives in the city now.
251．In the passage, the writer tries to _______.
A．express his opinions about way of life
B．describe his life in the countryside
C．show an interest in the outside world
D．persuade the reader to live in the city
252．How is the passage mainly developed?
A．By inferring
B．By comparing
C．By listing examples
D．By giving explanations
Recently, Kevin Smith, the director of Clerks and Chasing Amy, got kicked off of a
Southwestern Airlines flight for being too fat. He used the social media tool Twitter to take
pictures of himself in a seat, and criticized the airline’s decision. In reality, most airlines have
试卷第 82页，总 119页
had policies for “customers of size” for the past 25 years, but few airlines have used these
rules because they don’t want the negative publicity.
While it is very politically incorrect to look down on people because of their age, sex,
race, or religion, many people believe that obese people are discriminated(歧视) against all
the time. For an extremely large person, it is very difficult to get around on normal-sized
public transportation, such as buses or subways. Flying is not much easier because the seats
are small even for a regular person, and airlines have been squeezing as many people as they
can onto flights.
With the combination of September 11 terrorist attack and the economic downturn, the
airline business hasn’t been doing very well. This means that airlines are trying to squeeze
every dollar out of flyers. Recently, they started charging fees for overweight luggage and
extra carry-on bags. It makes sense financially to make an overweight person purchase two
tickets if they can’t fit into one seat, but airlines have to be cautious when dealing with this
problem. Usually, someone that is heavy is already embarrassed about their weight, and
making them pay extra can violate（侵犯）their rights.
Many people believe that those who are overweight have a lack of willpower and should
be treated accordingly. In fact, there are many diseases that cause people to be overweight.
Discriminating against someone because they are overweight is morally wrong. For airlines
to show prejudice against anyone is bad for business.
In conclusion, airlines should consider the special needs of their customers to earn repeat
business. If they force obese passengers to buy two tickets for one flight, they not only
discriminate them, but they may lose a lot of business as well.
253．Why is the director mentioned in the first paragraph?
A．To promote his movies. B．To ask him to lose weight.
C．To introduce the topic. D．To complain about the airline.
254．Why do airlines tend to charge obese passengers two tickets?
A．Because they want them to lose weight.
B．Because they are facing financial problems.
C．Because they need to load more luggage and bags.
D．Because they prefer to protect regular passengers’ rights.
255．What is the author’s opinion?
A．Overweight people deserve to be charged more.
试卷第 83页，总 119页
B．Overweight people should have a stronger willpower.
C．It’s a good idea for airlines to charge less for a second ticket.
D．It’s bad practice for airlines to discriminate against obese people.
We all like fantasy stories, and grow up reading and listening to fantasies. These
tales fuel our imaginations, and satisfy our longings for adventures. The most interesting
thing about fantasies is that their plots involve magical beasts and heroes，animal creatures
talking like humans，and other things we can’t see in real life. Also, fantasies have a
distinguished writing style, with freedom of expression.
Toy Fantasy
In toy fantasy stories, narrators(叙述者)bring their beloved toys to life that can live, talk,
think，breathe and behave like human beings. You would see modern toy fantasies in a picture
book format. Representative works are A．A．Milne’s Winnie the Pooh and Carlo Collodi’s
The Adventures of Pinocchio.
Animal Fantasy
The animal fantasy tells tales about animals behaving like human beings, experiencing
emotions, and having the ability to talk. However, animals in fantasies hold their various
animal characteristics, too. Examples include The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame,
Charlotte's Web by E. B．White, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter which
influences children around the world.
Magical Fantasy
In a magical fantasy, you see a character having magical powers, or a strange magical
object becomes the subject of the story. Stories of this type began widely spreading long ago,
including Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and William Steig’s Sylvester and
the Magic Pebble.
Modern Folktales
Modern folktales are types of fantasy that narrators tell in a traditional tale
accompanying some typical parts, such as strong conflict, little description of characters, and
sometimes magical elements. These tales come before all others and are popular, as authors
throughout history, have written them. Hans Christian Andersen has written several tales of
this category including The Nightingale, The Emperor’s New Clothes and Thumbelina.
256．What is the common feature of the fantasies?

D．Their plots encourage people to have adventures.
257．Who made a great contribution to the animal fantasy?
A．Carlo Collodi. B．Beatrix Potter.
C．William Steig. D．Hans Christian Andersen.
258．Which type of fantasy has the longest history?
A．The toy fantasy. B．The animal fantasy.
C．The magical fantasy. D．The modern folktales.
Hawaii could become the first state to ban sunscreens with chemicals that may
harm the environment. So maybe you should pack a sunhat and long sleeves for the trip to
Waikiki.
State lawmakers passed a bill banning sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate
chemicals believed to cause harm to marine life and coral reefs (珊瑚礁). The bill will
prohibit the sale and distribution of sunscreens with those chemicals on the island “without
prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.”
“Amazingly, this is a first-in-the-world law,” Gabbard, who introduced the bill, told the
Honolulu Star-advertiser. “when you think about it, our island heaven, surrounded by coral
reefs, is the perfect place to set the golden standard for the world to follow. This will make a
huge difference in protecting our coral reefs, marine life and human health.”
The bill will come into effect on January 1, 2021 if signed by Hawaii’s governor.
Critics of the bill question studies linking the chemicals to coral reef decay (腐烂) and
say banning sunscreens should discourage people from wearing skin protection altogether,
increasing skin cancer cases. Alexandra Kowcz, chief scientist of a research project, said the
bill rests on a “limited body of scientific research.” Henry Lim, president of the American
Academy of Dermatology Association, told US TODAY “a sunscreen ban could create
significant confusion” about why wearing sunscreen is important. Plus, there aren’t many
sunscreen options on the market without these chemicals.
“It is quite difficult to make good sunscreens that do not contain these chemicals based
on the currently approved sunscreen active ingredients list in the U.S. ”said Lim.

At least one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their life, according to the
American Academy of Dermatology Association.
The only way to know if a sunscreen doesn’t contain oxybenzone and octinoxate is to
check the label. A non-profit organization, which ranks sunscreen brands based on
effectiveness and chemical composition, reports some sunscreens are environmentally
friendly.
259．What do we know about the bill?
A．It has been supported by healthcare providers.
B．It is aimed at promoting tourism in Hawaii.
C．It will prohibit sunscreens of all kinds.
D．It may help to protect marine life and coral reefs.
260．What may the critics probably agree with?
A．The bill based on limited studies is misleading.
B．The ban will benefit people with skin cancer.
C．The chemicals are to blame for coral reef decay.
D．Sunscreens on the market should all be banned.
261．What can we learn from the last three paragraphs?
A．20% of people may suffer skin cancer in their life.
B．Checking the label helps to distinguish sunscreens.
C．Sunscreens are commonly ranked by market sales.
D．Making eco-friendly sunscreens is just impossible.
262．What’s the author’s attitude towards the bill?
A．Positive. B．Negative.
C．Objective. D．Skeptical.

Ellas’ story
My name is Ellas .I am a poor black worker in South Africa .The time when I first met
Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life .I was twelve years old . It was in 1952
and he had opened a black law firm to advise black poor people on their problems .
I began school at six . The school where I studied only two years was three kilometers
away. I had to leave, because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus
fare .I could not read or write. After trying hard ,I got a job in a gold mine, This was a time
when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesburg. Sadly I did not have this
passbook because I was not born there and I was worried about whether I would be out of
work.
The day when Nelson Mandela told me what to do and helped me was one of the
happiest days of my life .He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in
Johannesburg .I never forgot how kind he was and when he organized the ANC Youth
League ,I joined it as soon as I could .He said:
“The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and
progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.”
It was the truth .Black people has no vote and could not choose who ruled them .The
parts of town where they lived were places decided by white people .They could not get jobs
they wanted .The places there they were sent to live were the poorest areas in South
Africa .No one could grow food there .In fact as Nelson Mandela said:
“…we were put in a position in which we had either to accept we were less important ,or
试卷第 88页，总 119页
fight the Government .We chose to attack the law .We first broke the law in a way which was
peaceful ;when this was not allowed… only then did we decide to answer violence with
violence.”
As a matter of fact, I do not like violence… but in 1963 I helped him blow up some
government buildings .It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison
for years .But I was happy to help because I knew it was to realize our dream of making black
and white people equal.

One night, the first floor of the house suddenly caught fire. The fire was big, and soon
became a sea of fire. On the second floor lived a little girl and her grandmother; the little
girl’s parents had died, and she lived together with her grandma. In order to rescue the little
girl, the grandmother was burned to death, leaving the little girl crying for help loudly.
How could people enter the house? At the very moment, a man carrying a ladder rushed
to the flames and got into the window. When he appeared again in the eyes of the people, the
little girl was in his arms. He gave the child to the crowd, and then disappeared into the night.
This little girl had no family. Two months later a meeting was held to find a person to
adopt(收养) the girl. A teacher was willing to adopt this child, and said she could give her the
best education; a farmer wanted to adopt this child, saying that village life would let the child
grow up healthily and happily; a rich man said, “I can give the child everything that others
can do.”
A lot of people who wanted to adopt this child said about many benefits of their adopting
the child. But the little girl’s face had no expression. At this time, a man, through the crowd,
walked straight in front of the little girl, and opened his arms for the little girl. People were

puzzled, and they found that the man had terrible scars on his arms. The little girl let out a cry,
“This is the man who saved me!” She suddenly jumped up, and buried her face in his arms

I once met a well-known botanist at a dinner party. I had never talked with a
botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he
spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the
simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own—and he was good enough to tell me
how to solve some of my problems.
As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I
broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the
botanist.
试卷第 90页，总 119页
Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to
our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting
conversationalist”.
An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn’t have said
anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn’t know any more about
plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing; I had listened carefully. I
listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind
of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too.
“Few human beings,” wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, “can resist the sweet effect
of rapt（全神贯注的） attention.” I went even further than that. I was “sincere in my
admiration and generous in my praise”. I told him that I had been hugely entertained and
instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. I told him that I should love to wander
the fields with him. What’s more, it was all true.
And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality, I had only
been a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.
276．From Paragraph 1, we can learn that the writer__________.
A．was deeply moved by the botanist’s talk B．behaved politely and properly
C．was not in a comfortable situation D．was amazed by what he was hearing
277．Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?
A．Giving attention to all those in attendance.
B．Listening carefully to what another guest says.
C．Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.
D．Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.
278．According to the writer, which of the following is an important characteristic of a good
conversationalist?
A．Encouraging the other side by sharing his/her own opinions.
B．Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.
C．Promising a future meeting for more communication.

night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.
试卷第 91页，总 119页
I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing
it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories（卡路里）, still others
just don’t like breakfast food.
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose
weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at
all，”says Katherine Brooking, R. D．，who developed the super-easy eating plan for this
year’s“SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables,
and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories.
Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers
at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of
gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no
breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s
leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself', “You can
always eat it tomorrow, ”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try
it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the
fat-burning effects.

Forests are home to many wild animals. The population explosion and more human
activities in the forests have caused many of their native species(物种)to become endangered.
Giant Panda
The giant panda, one of the most recognizable endangered species, is a large, docile
species of bear native to the forest of eastern China, Myanmar and Vietnam. Because of its
limited diet- the panda’s main source of food is bamboo- the species is limited in its habitat to
areas where bamboo is available. Now the species only can be found today in 20 small
patches of forest at the western edge of its historic range.
Gray and Red Wolves
The gray wolf, which once ranged from the East Coast of America to the West, and south
to Mexico, now has a population of only 5, 000 in the lower 48 states, mostly in the Rocky
Mountains. The red wolf, native to the southeastern United States, was declared extinct(已灭
绝的) in the wild in 1980.
Red-Crowned Crane
The red-crowned crane is native to Japan, Korea and eastern China. Agricultural
expansion and deforestation (森林砍伐) in these areas have removed a great deal of the
marshes and forests that are the crane’ s primary habitats. For a time, the crane was thought to
have completely disappeared from Japan, but the recent discovery of cranes in Japanese
marshlands has restarted conservation efforts. Today, around 2, 500 cranes live in the wild,
including 1,000 in Japan.
284．What has caused the wild animals to become endangered?

When I was about 10, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to
Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee anytime around the neighborhood, so I just stood there.
After we passed him, my mother stopped and said something unforgettable, "You let that be
the last time you ever walk by somebody you know without opening your mouth to speak,
because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street. "That sentence sounds
simple but it made me become who I am.
At work, I used to say hello to the president of the company and ask him how our business
was doing. But I also spoke to the people in the cafe and people who cleaned the buildings,
and asked them how their children were doing, for every single person deserves to be
accepted, no matter how humble(低微的)they are. I remember that after a few years of
passing by the president, I had the courage to ask him for a chat. We had a great talk. At some
point, when I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company, he said that if I
wanted to, I could get all the way to his seat.
I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed how I treat people. I speak to people
wherever I am. Speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come
into mine, too.
The day you speak to someone who has his head down and then see him lift it up and smile,
you will realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say hello.

Chinese people are, quite rightly, proud of their food. However, when foreigners
like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food, their impression of it is different to what
you might think.
Growing up in the UK, the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize
as being from Guangdong. For example, a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet
and sour sauce, probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side. This is the type of food
we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants (移民) to the UK have come from
Guangdong. You can tell, because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese,
试卷第 97页，总 119页
they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people — hearing the real Putonghua is
sometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completely
different!
British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing, though. Chinese-American chef Ken
Hom has been on British TV for 30 years, and he told BBC Food: “Chinese food at the
beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork, mainly. Most Brits had the
unchangeable view of Chinese food. Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from
Sichuan, Hunan and other areas of China. It is no longer just Guangdong food.” Similarly, to
most Americans, Chinese food doesn’t go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies,
but more Chinese local dishes are becoming successful, especially in big cities like New
York.
Attitudes have not quite changed completely, though. Many foreigners who live in China
will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home: “Have they given you dog
yet?” Yes, perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture, many people
believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat. And of course, some people do eat dogs,
which to Americans is like “eating a member of one’s family” according to Vision Times.
Also, Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not — chicken claws, duck
heads and some animals’ organs.
But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food?
You’ll be glad to know that in my experience, the impressions have been very good.
297．Why are some British people surprised when they hear the real Putonghua?
A．Because it sounds too funny to believe.
B．Because they all find it hard to learn.
C．Because it’s different from what they hear.
D．Because nobody has been to China before.
298．What does chef Ken Hom think of the present Chinese food?
A．Popular. B．Richer. C．Tastier. D．Best.
299．How does Paragraph 3 develop?
A．By giving examples. B．By making comparison.
C．By analyzing. D．By reasoning.
300．What can we infer from “Have they given you dog yet”?
A．Foreigners don’t like eating dog meat at all.

There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers
putting in long hours—you don’t need that “refreshment（提神） break” as much as you may
think.
Scientists believed it was not easy for people to continue their work if they felt the need
to have a snack or a rest to make them feel better. They argued that the only way to regain
willpower is by supplying more energy to our bodies with rest, food or entertainment.
But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is in your head.
They found that a person’s mindset(理念) and belief about willpower determine how long
and how well they’ll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. “If you think of willpower
as something that’s limited, you’re more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task,”
said Professor Veronika Job. “But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily
depleted, you can go on and on.”
The researchers led by Mr. Job designed an experiment to test the students’ beliefs about
willpower. After a tiring task those who believed or were led to believe that willpower was a
limited resource performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of
willpower as something they had more control over.
Mr. Job said, “Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their
powers of concentration are limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in
willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through
challenges.”
The findings could help people who are battling with temptation(诱惑): people
following strict diets and doing exercise regularly to lose weight, people trying to overcome
addictions, employees facing a tight deadline. Willpower isn’t driven by a biologically based
process as much as we used to think.
301．What opinion did scientists have in the past?
A．Willpower was a limited resource.
B．It was hard to regain willpower.
C．Hardworking people seldom took breaks.

302．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “depleted” in paragraph 3?
A．Given up. B．Recovered.
C．Used up. D．Changed.
303．What can we learn from the findings of the experiment?
A．Students benefit most from the research.
B．Frequent breaks are not good for learning.
C．Will power can be regained after people have a good rest.
D．The belief in willpower can change a man’s behaviour.
304．Why does the author write the text?
A．To explain the power of willpower.
B．To show us how to build willpower.
C．To tell us the ways of gaining willpower.
D．To introduce a new theory on willpower.
If you stop a random person on the street in China, there’s a pretty good chance that
their surname would be either Wang, Li, Zhang, Liu or Chen.That’s because those are the five
most common surnamesin China — shared by 30% of the population. And the vast majority
of the population share just 100 of those surnames. In comparison, the United States reported
6.3 million surnames in its 2010 census.
There are a few reasons for this: China is less racially diverse than countries such as the
US, where a wealth of minority groups increase surname diversity (多样性). It also has to do
with language; you can’t just add a random stroke (音节) to a Chinese character and create a
new surname.
But there’s also another factor at play: technology. With China roaring into the digital
age, nearly everything has moved online — from making appointments to buying train
tickets.
The main problem is that not all Chinese characters have been coded into computer
systems. That meant a world of trouble if you happened to have a rare character in your name.
As of 2017, up to 60 million Chinese citizens faced this problem, according to Xinhua.
People with rare characters in their names, which aren’t compatible(兼容的) with
existing computer systems, can get left behind— pushing many to change their names for the
试卷第 100页，总 119页
sake of convenience, even if it means abandoning centuries of heritage and languages.
To try to address this, experts have increased the database from 32,000 characters to
70,000 characters, according to the government. They’re still working to expand it to include
more than 90,000 characters, said Chen Jiawei, an associate professor at Beijing Normal
University.
305．What can be learned from the comparison according to Paragraph 1?
A．There are fewer common surnames in China.
B．Chinese people like sharing the same surname.
C．The United States owns the most surnames in the world.
D．6.3 million surnames in China have been shared until now.
306．Which one describes surname diversity properly?
A．New Chinese surnames are easy to create.
B．Surname diversity totally depends on technology.
C．Minority groups can increase surname diversity.
D．Surnames in computer systems are regularly changed.
307．What may happen to people with rare characters in their names?
A．They will lose their heritage.
B．They have to change their names.
C．They should expand the database.
D．They may upgrade computer systems.
308．Why have experts increased the character database?
A．To save heritage and languages.
B．To keep Chinese traditional culture.
C．To give people more choices when naming.
D．To let us know more Chinese characters.
There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake up to in the morning. For me, it's
the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the
kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.
If you're a big fan of coffee, you'll understand that opening a new packet of coffee
releases an amazing smell-fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you'll be able to identify the
beans' origin—Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop
试卷第 101页，总 119页
owner; he believes the smell "is absolutely vital. When you walk into the coffee shop in the
morning and that smell hits you, you're getting physiological(生理上的) responses."
I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and it's the
smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment.
This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid
through a hole in the lid. Yes, it's convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?
You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink
out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past
your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell,
takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and a vast majority of them still don't get recycled.
So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a
cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!
309．In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?
A．People drink coffee first thing in the morning.
B．Coffee beans' origin makes all the differences.
C．Some people are addicted to drinking coffee
D．It's the smell of coffee that really matters.
310．What does the author complain about?
A．The process of making coffee.
B．The high temperature of coffee
C．The design of the paper coffee cup.
D．The inconvenience of buying coffee.
311．What can replace the word "eliminating" underlined in Paragraph 4?
A．Creating. B．Removing. C．Increasing. D．Changing.
312．What can be the best title of the text?
A．Wake up and smell the coffee
B．Try to be a real lover of coffee
C．Drink coffee to save the planet
D．Choose takeaway coffee for convenience

A building seemingly built out of 21 blocks of LEGOs will greet those on flights
landing in Billund, Denmark. The newly built LEGO House now shares the city with
LEGOLAND．But like the theme park, the LEGO House offers the community more public
spaces and a hands-on way of communicating with one of the world's most favorite toys.
The LEGO House is both a playhouse and a display of excellent pieces of LEGO
artwork. The Masterpiece Gallery shows the fan-made art of the plastic bricks, including
impressive （印象 深刻的）models of many real-life objects. The History Collection
describes the rise of the LEGO Group. But the guests won't be stuck admiring sculptures （雕
刻作品）,and they get to build their own pieces brick by brick too.
There are four play areas inside the building which are in different colors. Each stands
for important developmental skills in children. Red is for creativity; blue is for cognitive （认
知）skills; green is for social skills; yellow for emotions （情绪）.These areas, as well as the
gallery and history collection, require guests to prebook a $31 ticket.
Instead of being just a tourist attraction, the LEGO Group wants the place to become a
sort of meeting place for the company's hometown. Other areas in the LEGO House are free
to enter. These include the 2,000-square-meter LEGO Square, outdoor play areas, the LEGO
store, and three restaurants.
In one of the LEGO House's restaurants, visitors order food by putting blocks together
and scanning them. While real humans do the cooking, cool LEGO robots deliver the food to
the crowd and answer questions.
Third generation owner of the LEGO Group has this to say: "When children play, they
learn the basic skills that they need, such as creativity, collaboration （合作）and
problem-solving abilities."
317．What is the LEGO House like?
A．It has the same function as the theme park.
B．It is actually built out of 21 blocks of LEGOs.
C．It can be described as a playhouse and an art gallery.
D．It will be a place where locals greet guests flying there.
318．Besides appreciating impressive artwork, what else can guests do?
A．Search for real-life objects.
B．Display the fan-made artwork.
C．Describe the rise of the LEGO Group.

319．Why are the four play areas in different colors?
A．They stand for different ticket prices.
B．They stand for different age groups.
C．They stand for different skills that children need.
D．They stand for children from different countries.
320．What can guests do to get their meals in the LEGO restaurants?
A．Cook meals by themselves.
B．Order food by scanning blocks.
C．Get LEGO robots to order food.
D．Cooperate with other visitors.
Up until a few decades ago, our expectation of the future were largely positive.
Science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of satisfaction and
opportunity for all.
Now the utopia (乌托邦) has grown unfashionable, as we have gained deeper
appreciation of the range of threats facing us, from natural disasters to deadly flu to climate
change. You might even be tempted to assume that human beings have little future to look
forward to.
But such negative attitude doesn’t make sense. The fossil record shows that many
species have existed for millions of years- so why shouldn’t we? Take broader look at our
species’ place in the universe, and it becomes clear that we have an excellent chance of
surviving for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of years.
So what does our deep future hold? Perhaps it may be easier to think about the question
in long time periods than about the more immediate future. The potential evolution of today’s
technology, and its social consequences, is astonishingly complicated, and it’s’ perhaps best
left to science fiction writers and futurologists (未来学家) to explore the many possibilities
we can merely imagine. That’s one reason why we have launched Arc, a new publication
dedicated to the near future.
But take a longer view and there is a surprising amount that we can say with
considerable assurance. As so often, the past holds the key to the future: we have now
identified enough of the long-term patterns shaping the history of the planet, and our species,
试卷第 105页，总 119页
to make evidence-based forecasts about the situations in which our future generations will
find themselves.
This makes the negative predictions of our future seem more likely to be temporary and
unreliable. To be sure, the future is not all rosy. But we are now knowledgeable enough to
reduce many of the risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans, and to prevent the lot
of those to come.
321．What used to inspire our expectation of the future?
A．Our desire for lives of satisfaction.
B．Our faith in science and technology.
C．Our awareness of potential risks.
D．Our belief in equal opportunity.
322．Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 4?
A．Are limits the range of futurological studies.
B．Technology offers solutions to social problem.
C．The interest in science fiction is on the rise.
D．Our near future is comparatively hard to predict.
One of the great concerns that ornithologists have is that climate change will throw
the nesting activities of birds out of sync (同步) with the availability of food for the raising of
chicks. For one species, the pied flycatcher, a new study shows that some of its clan are
proving to be remarkably adaptable.
Upon returning to Europe from their African wintering grounds, the flycatchers time
their egg-laying to the short period when juicy caterpillars (毛毛虫) are most abundant.
During the past three decades this caterpillar peak has advanced by three weeks. Pied
flycatchers initially had difficulty adjusting, but over time have started laying their eggs
earlier to grab the caterpillars. Some, though, are doing a lot more to improve their
reproductive chances of success, according to a study in the Journal of Avian Biology led by
Christian Both of the University of Groningen, in the Netherlands.
Like most bird species, pied flycatchers have long been thought to lay a single clutch of
eggs during the breeding (繁殖) season. This was widely considered to be a trait that
wouldn’t change. Then, in 2007, a Swiss team led by Dr Ravussin began to suspect that
clutch numbers were flexible. They discovered a female pied flycatcher that immediately
试卷第 106页，总 119页
produced a second brood with a new male after raising an early set of chicks. Aware of Dr
Ravussin’s findings, Dr Both wondered whether this was just a single, odd instance or if
second broods might be happening on a larger scale driven by the arrival of earlier springs. So,
they cooperate to delve into the data to find out.
The team studied pied-flycatcher populations in the Netherlands and Switzerland that
were known to be among the earliest nesting members of the species. In total, they tracked
the egg-laying times and hatchling-rearing success of 8,848 breeding pairs in the Netherlands
and1,372 in Switzerland between1980 and 2018. They found that since 2006, 11 cases of
second broods were observed, all of them among the earliest breeders in both populations.
Further studies ruled out that the birds were making up for a failed first attempt at raising
chicks or that the second group of nestlings suffered.
With no obvious downside to laying a double clutch, Drs Both and Ravussin conclude
that the birds are attempting to double their annual reproductive output. While this behavior is
still rare, they argue that if the tendency is driven by heritable genes (which it may well be) ,
then a succession of early springs could make the strategy much more common.
323．As to flycatchers, we can learn that __________.
A．the population of caterpillars has no effect on their egg-laying time
B．climate change is the main cause of their advancing egg-laying time
C．they can only lay a single clutch of eggs during the breeding season
D．they’re born with the ability of raising more than one group of chicks
324．Dr Ravussin and Dr Both may both agree that __________.
A．flycatchers like to winter and lay eggs in the Netherlands and Switzerland
B．flycatchers know how to make up for a failed first attempt at raising chicks
C．flycatchers are making adaptations to double their annual reproductive output
D．flycatchers, driven by heritable genes, return early from their wintering grounds
325．Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．More nests, more eggs B．Earlier spring, earlier breeding
C．More caterpillars, less chances D．Later arrival, less output
When Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the
obvious，“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among
148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was the
试卷第 107页，总 119页
fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the city’s image as an
unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack．One factor
seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed．
This factor is exercise．in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a
bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment
houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usually
walk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no
alternative to walking．
On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every
day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，
they must ride in cars．
326．The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____
A．benefits of walking B．occasions for walking in city life
C．comments made by city people D．problems of city living
327．To reach the third floor of a building．it would probably be most healthful ____
A．to take the elevator B．to walk up the stairs
C．to ride in a car D．to find an alternative to walking
328．People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because ______
A．they don’t live near business areas B．they don’t need the exercise
C．they never have parking problems D．they can’t afford to take the bus
329．A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that _____

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top
universities and research instructions in the world.But to those who are new to it all，
sometimes it can be confusing.
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar.Universities have something
called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers.It’s a great opportunity to make new friends，join
lots of clubs and settle into university life.
However，having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind，the
prospect(前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking(令人焦虑不安

的)．Where do you start？Who should you make friends with？Which clubs should you join?
Luckily，there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about
starting their university social life on the right foot.So just take it all in slowly.Don’t rush into
anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.
Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：
•Learn rules.Make sure you know British social etiquette(礼节)．Have a few wine
glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
•Be kind.Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in
making friends.
•Be sociable.The more active you are，the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than
if you’re someone who never leaves his room.
•Bring a doorstop.Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages
to your neighbors that you’re friendly.
So with a bit of clever planning and effort，Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to
your university life and soon yon’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits.

While I was teaching in China, I became interested in acupuncture（针灸）. It was
after returning from China and witnessing how successful it had been that I reached the
decision to become an acupuncturist myself. I was lucky to discover that the town where I
lived had a famous college of traditional acupuncture.
Alternative medicine such as acupuncture is particularly important for me because I
firmly believe that it works on the level of body, mind and spirit. This is very different from
Western medicine which is supposed to work only on the body. When a person is ill, it is
believed that there’s something in their life that is putting their energy levels out of balance.
What alternative therapies（疗法）try do to is kelp to gradually push that energy back into
balance. The result is that any disease present might naturally disappear as it cannot survive
when energies are balanced.
I’ve treated a wide range of people for various conditions, for example people suffering
from stress and anxiety. To acquire a qualification in acupuncture, I took a course that lasted
three years. I had to go to the college about one weekend in three. I also had a large amount
of homework and practical work to do, which I did two or three evenings a week. This
involved locating pints on different people. As you can imagine, this isn’t straightforward as
people are of different sizes and have differently shaped bodies.
In the future I hope to set up an alternative health clinic which will involve myself as an
acupuncturist but perhaps other people as well. I’d like to work with people who provide
treatments such as rubbing（按摩）and pressing people’s feet in a special way to help them
relax and feel well. I’d like to set it up somewhere in the countryside, where people could feel
free from the stress of life.

I arrived in my Chinese classroom, ready to share my vast knowledge and
experience with the 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in
the USA for 17 years, I had no worry at all about my ability to plant in my students
enthusiasm for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was really shocked when the monitor shouted “Stand up” and the entire class rose as I
entered the room, and I was somewhat confused and anxious about how to get them to sit
down again, but once that embarrassment was over, I quickly calmed down and launched into
what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect-perhaps even their
试卷第 112页，总 119页
admiration. I went back to my room radiating that rosy glow (光泽) that comes from a sense
of significant accomplishment.
My students kept journals, however, and as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually
replaced by an overwhelming sense of frustration. The first journal said, “Our literature
teacher didn’t teach us anything today. Perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Heartbroken, I
read journal after journal, each expressing a similar theme. Didn’t teach them anything? I
sketched the entire philosophical framework of thought AND laid the historical background
for all the works we’ll study in class.” I complained, “How can they say I didn't teach them
anything?”
Determined to clear myself, I dug out all my reference books, adding background
material to my next lecture, researching into the sociological setting and even the
psychological state of the author. After the second class, I eagerly opened the journals,
expecting enthusiastic reviews at last. Again, I was crushed by their continuing comments
that I was going too slowly without giving meaningful details.
More determined than ever. I dived into sources of criticism, deciding to devote more
time to the texts by providing summaries of all the interpretations I could find of each work.
This material would give my students ample information for drawing their own conclusions
about the work’s meaning, “Our teacher seems confused about the real meaning of the works,”
the journals said. “One minute she gives one interpretation; the next minute she gives another.
Then she asks for our opinions. We’re the students. She’s the teacher. She should tell us what
the works mean.”
It was a long semester, and it gradually became clear to me that my ideas about
education were purely Western, and that Chinese ideas differed significantly. I thought a
teacher’s job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that
students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to
provide accurate information as directly and concisely as possible. Americans wanted to
interpret and experience. The Chinese wanted to master and memorize.
341．How did the writer feel before he began his teaching in China?
A．Worried. B．Confident.
C．Disappointed. D．Confused.
342．What might be the reason why the writer was shocked when the monitor shouted “Stand
up”?

If you have spent any time reading papers on teaching strategies in the past few
years, you have probably noticed a strong backlash against drill & practice, in favor of
“constructivist (建构主义的) activities” and “project-based learning”.
Memorizing facts, many people argue, is an outdated educational practice, since anyone
could just Google a fact on demand or look it up on Wikipedia nowadays. They consider that
we should focus all school activities on getting skills as opposed to knowledge.
However, learning by rote (memorization by repeating) is more important than you think.
There are many cases in which having knowledge immediately on the tip of your tongue can
have great social and professional value. For example, last night at a networking event, when
I casually asked a Nigerian businessman how much of his business was conducted in English
compared with that in his native Yoruba, he immediately became more engaged in our
conversation. It was as if the simple fact that I knew that Yoruba was spoken in Nigeria won
his trust, and therefore built up our relationship.
The same goes for professional settings. If I am a medical salesman talking to a doctor
about a specific digestion drug, and he asks if it has any effect on the process of peristalsis, it
will look quite unprofessional if I have to pull out my medical dictionary to look up the word.
试卷第 114页，总 119页
I need to memorize those facts so that I can access them immediately.
Of course, most constructivist educators will argue that on-the-job training and
project-based learning are more effective at learning new concepts than rote memorization.
The problem is that no single cost-effective constructivist activity will guarantee that you will
be exposed to all the concepts you need, or that you will fully remember the facts that you are
exposed to. If you actually want to gain a full range of knowledge about a given topic, the
most guaranteed and efficient way is to study on purpose using the time-honored repeating
practice －specifically confidence-based repetition.
345．What does the underlined word “backlash” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Outdated idea. B．Negative reaction.
C．Educational standard. D．Official support.
346．Why is the author’s communication with a Nigerian businessman mentioned?
A．To show the value of knowing about Yoruba.
B．To support his argument for learning by rote.
C．To introduce effective communication skills.
D．To prove the power of having a wide range of knowledge.
347．What does the author think about project-based learning?
A．It is of limited value in learning new concepts.
B．It is an efficient way to learn a new concept.
C．It should be combined with a full range of knowledge.
D．It will be replaced by the time-honored practice of repetition.
In the mountainous southern Peru, Quechua women sit on the ground, chatting as
they twist dry grass and shape it into long plaits (辫子). Every year for the past six centuries,
each family contributes about 210 feet of plaints to build Q’eswachaka, the only surviving
rope bridge that once connected the Inca Empire.
At approximately 100 feet, Q’eswachaka connects two mountains. It is rebuilt yearly by
four Quechua communities who come together every second week of June to spend three
days building the bridge and a fourth celebrating its completion. Before the work begins, one
person asks for protection and permission. To people who gather to rebuild this structure, the
bridge is a god. To build the new Q’eswachaka, one of the builders ties a rope around his
waist and makes his way across last year’s structure. Once this connection is secure, the old
试卷第 115页，总 119页
bridge is cut loose. Then builders transport supplies and other ropes. They ride on the bridge’s
cable and make its floor by hand. The skills for the bridge are communicated not through
written instructions, but through apprenticeship (学徒期).
Nowadays, the bridge faces many challenges. Policy adjustments in the teaching field
have caused the sharp fall in the number of Quechua speakers. Only 40% of the younger
generation speaks the language of their ancestors. Since the ancestral language is necessary
for the ceremony associated with Q’eswachaka, the decrease in the number of speakers will
make it difficult for the tradition to continue. Besides, now Q’eswachaka is made of only one
kind of plant, but it used to include other plant materials that have disappeared, which made it
strong enough to serve the needs of the communities. These days, a nearby steel bridge
satisfies the transport of cars and supplies, and Q’eswachaka’s construction is kept alive by
tourism rather than function.
348．What’s the first step of rebuilding Q’eswachaka?
A．Use a rope to build a connection. B．Make the new bridge’s floor.
C．Destroy the old bridge. D．Transport materials.
349．What can we learn about Q’eswachaka?
A．It mainly aims to attract visitors now. B．It remains practical for local people.
C．It’s in the charge of local women. D．It’s approximately 100 feet long.
350．What can we infer from the text?
A．There are many rope bridges in Peru now.
B．Builders ask for permission from the government.
C．The new bridge is built when the old one gets fragile.
D．Quechua is important for the survival of Q’eswachaka.
351．Which can be the best title of the text?
A．Importance of Q’eswachaka. B．Development of Q’eswachaka.
C．Decrease of Quechua speakers. D．Challenges Q’eswachaka faces.
U. S. cherries, watermelons and some other summertime favorites may depend on
wild bees more than previously thought.
Many farms in the United States use managed honeybees to pollinate (授粉) crops and
increase the total amount of crops, sometimes trucking beehives (蜂箱) from farm to farm.
Now an analysis of seven crops across North America shows that wild bees can play a role in
试卷第 116页，总 119页
crop pollination too, even on conventional farms with managed honeybees. Wild volunteers
add at least $1.5 billion in total to the harvest for six of the crops, a new study estimates.
“To me, the big surprise was that we found so many wild bees even in intense production
areas where much of the produce in the USA is grown, says Rachael Winfree, a pollination
ecologist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N. J.
That means threats to wild bees could deplete profits even when farms raise honeybees,
the researchers reported on July 29 in Proceedings of the Royal Society. Both honeybees,
which aren’t native to the United States, and wild pollinators such as bumblebees face
dangers including pesticides (杀虫剂).
To see what, if anything, wild native bee species contribute, researchers checked bee
visits to flowers at 131 commercial farm fields across the United States and part of Canada.
On the other hand, the researchers also calculated to what extent the number of bee visits
limited production. These intensive farms with plenty of fertilizer, water and other resources
often showed signs of reaching a pollinator limit, meaning fields didn’t have enough
honeybees to get the maximum production, and volunteer wild bees were adding to the total.
Then the team estimated what percentage of the production native bees were adding — versus
just doing what honeybees would have done anyway.
“Wild bees don’t seem to help California’s orchards (果园)，but based on orchards in
Michigan and Pennsylvania, some $ 1. 06 billion of apples depends on native pollinators,” the
researchers say. Watermelons, particularly in Florida, get an estimated $146 million benefit,
and sweet cherries $ 145 million.
352．Why are the wild bees important to the crops according to the text?
A．It helps to pollinate and improve the crops output.
B．It is helpful to raise managed honeybees.
C．It is helpful to maintain healthy ecosystem.
D．It helps to protect native bee species.
353．What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Pursue. B．Make. C．Keep. D．Reduce.
354．Why did researchers check bee visits to flowers?
A．To work out the number of wild native bees.
B．To make it clear why fields don’t have enough bees.
C．To show how important the managed bees are to intensive farms.
试卷第 117页，总 119页
D．To figure out what wild native bees benefit farm output.
355．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To draw people’s attention to farm output.
B．To discuss why bees can increase the harvest.
C．To show wild bees may contribute to the crop harvest.
D．To introduce how honey bees and wild bees pollinate crops.
Apple lost its status as the world’s only trillion-dollar public company as shares
slumped (下跌) following disappointing results.
The iPhone maker said that it would no longer tell how many iPhones, iPads and Macs it
sells each quarter, claiming the figure was no longer relevant to investors. The announcement,
combined with a forecast for the vital Christmas quarter, sent shares falling by more than 7
percent in after-hours trading, knocking over $70 billion off its value. If maintained, the drop
means Apple’s value has fallen below the trillion-dollar mark for the first time since it
reached the milestone in August.
Apple’s fall come despite it posting record profits and sales after it convinced consumers
to buy more expensive versions of the iPhone in the three months to the end of September.
During this period, it sold 46. 9 million iPhones, flat on the same period last year and below
what analysts had expected. However, a huge increase in the price of each phone meant that
iPhone revenues (收益) increased by 29 percent. On average, consumers now pay $793 for
each iPhone, up from $618 a year ago.
Apple has successfully pushed its users into paying more for newer versions of its
iPhone by adding new features and bigger screen sizes, even as sales growth has decreased.
Revenues in the quarter increased by 20 percent to $62.9 billion, while profits were up 32
percent to $14.1 billion. Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, said sales had been disappointing
in some emerging markets such as India, Turkey and Brazil.
Apple sold fewer Mac computers and iPads than a year ago, but said revenues from its
software division had increased by 17 percent. Apple said it would continue to say how much
revenue it makes from each of its product lines, which it claimed was a more relevant figure
than unit sales.
356．What did the iPhone maker’s announcement cause?
A．It caused a stable market. B．It caused a drop in sales.
试卷第 118页，总 119页
C．It caused weaker shares. D．It caused an increase in sales.
357．How were the sales of iPhones in the three months to the end of September last year?
A．They were better than this year. B．They were the same with this year.
C．They were not reported to the public. D．They were more terrible than this year.
358．Why did the revenues increase as the shares slumped?
A．The price was increased. B．People supported iPhones.
C．The sales were beyond expectation. D．The iPhone maker started a promotion.
359．What is the situation of the sales in some emerging markets?
A．It has a big market. B．The unit sales are good.
C．It is not very well received. D．It is uneven according to places.

助长盲目地吃(零食)"符合语境。
23．根据本段中的"The best snack is one that provides carbohydrates, protein and fat. Carbs
provide a source of energy, while fat and protein help to slow digestion...energy longer"可知，最
好的零食是那些能提供碳水化合物、蛋白质和脂肪的零食，而且这些营养物质有不同的作用，
它们之间的组合会阻止你对零食的渴望，让你在下顿饭到来之前感到饱腹和满足。由此可知，
本段主要说明的是零食中的营养成分应保持均衡。故 A 项符合语境。
24．根据空前的内容及空后的"All of these can help to slow down the process of digesting food"

【分析】
本文是一篇说明文，人们发现“eating slowly”有很多好处。那么怎么样才可以做到“eating
slowly”，文章里提出 5 条相关建议。
31．横线前句“However, eating slowly is not a decision that you make suddenly”告诉我们 eat
slowly 不是一个突然做出的决定，你要通过不断的练习才可以形成这个好习惯。C 项“Rather,
it's a habit that you'll need to acquire with practice.”符合上下文语境，故 C 项正确。
32．根据本段最后一句“As you show out the processed food, replace it with healthy, unprocessed
or much less processed choices”可知 Eat slowly 并不是要你吃的慢，而是建议我们多吃健康的
天然的食物，减少经过复杂处理的精细食物。E 项“Remove as many processed foods from your
plate or food storage as possible”与本段主旨一致，故 E 项正确。
33．本段主旨是“Always relax before you start eating.”建议我们“在吃饭之前要放松下来”，B

为喝水会减少营养物质，实际上喝水有助于消化。D 项“However, specialists believe water
actually aids in digestion.”与上下文语境一致，故 D 项正确。
35．根据第一句“Spend at least 20 minutes on your meal .”可知本段中建议人们至少要花 20 分
钟吃饭。那么如何让人们做到呢？本句是一个建议。F 项“Have a wall clock in plain view from
the table to adjust your eating speed”意为“在墙上放一只普通的钟可以调节人们的吃饭速度”

这是一篇应用文。我们和他人相遇并非偶然，我们生活中遇到的每个人对我们都会有或大或
小的影响。本文就如何与别人相处提出了三点建议。
41．空格位于段中。空格前句意为：我们遇见的人不是偶然。空格后句意为：一些人帮助你
成长，一些人伤害你，一些人激励你做的更好。选项 G 中的“Every person you meet”与上句
中的 meet people 呼应，选项 G 中的“have a role in your life”与下句中的各种影响呼应。故选
G。
42．空格位于段首。空格后句意为：再没有比帮助别人自己看到未来、看到他们到达了他们
原来也没想到的高度让人更高兴的事了。选项 D 中的“show the way”与下句中的 helping
people see a vision for themselves 呼应，并且还与第三个空格后的 Offer them support and
motivation 呼应，所以选项 D 可以作为本段主旨句，故选 D。
43．空格位于段中。这个空格位于分号后，所以句子首字母小写。据此可将答案锁定在 A、
B、E 之间。空格前句子意思为：但这不意味着你必须要更正他们或者武装他们。选项 E 中
的 instead（取而代之的是）符合上下逻辑关系，且选项 E 中的 guide them to the source of their
own 与下句中的 find their own way 呼应，故选 E。
44．空格位于段尾。这个空格位于逗号后，所以句子首字母小写。据此可将答案锁定在 A、

（不要小看别人）呼应。故选 A。
45．空格位于段中。空格前一句意思为：感恩那些支持过你的人，原谅那些伤害过你的人，
帮助那些需要你的人。选项 F（创业不易,生活艰难,领导难当）中的 complicated， complex，
difficult 与上句中描述的情景相符合。故选 F。

七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文，不仅在内容上要前后一
致，而且还要语篇结构清晰，上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话
题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为：文章是总分结构，还是按时间或空间顺序发展的，还
是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。
例如本文通过看首段及后续段落首句可知：是总分总的形式。所以第二个空格应该与第三段
第四段首句是并列关系，也就是它所在段落的主旨句。第一题和第五题是根据上下文逻辑关
系，根据上下句关键词意义复现解题，第三题第四题根据句子间的逻辑关系解题。这道题是

这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了海鸟粪便具有巨大价值，它不仅给海洋生态系统提供了至关重
要的营养物质，而且对沿海经济也很重要。
46．
词句猜测题。由文章第一段划线词前面句子 “Gold, oil and diamond are obviously worth a lot.
But some valuable products are less obvious ”（ 黄金、石油和钻石显然价值不菲。但一些有价
值的东西却不那么明显）以及后面句子 “New research has shown that the waste produced by
seabirds could be worth nearly half a billion dollars annually.”（新的研究表明，海鸟产生的粪便
每年可能价值近 5 亿美元）可知，跟黄金、石油、钻石相比，一方面海鸟粪便同样有巨大价
值，但是不明显；另一方面，根据常识，与黄金、钻石等的绚丽多彩相比，海鸟废弃物就令
人恶心（disgusting）。故选 D 项。
47．
推理判断题。由文章第四段“"Guano production is an ecosystem service made by seabirds at no
cost to us -- I can go to an island, collect the guano, and sell it at market price as fertilizer," ”
（ “鸟粪生产是海鸟免费为我们提供的一种生态系统服务——我可以去一个小岛，收集鸟粪，
然后以市场价格作为肥料出售，”）及“"Because there is this scientific and biological importance,
it's possible to quantify seabird ecosystem services in a language that the general public and
policymakers can begin to understand." ”（ “由于海鸟在科学和生物学上的重要性，我们可以
用公众和政策制定者能够开始理解的语言来量化海鸟的生态系统服务。”）可知，评估海鸟
废弃物的价值可以帮助人们认识到海鸟的重要性，D 项正确。A 项称政策制定者很清楚保护
海鸟的重要价值，而文中说“用公众和政策制定者能够开始理解的语言来量化海鸟的生态系
统”，说明政策制定者并不了解其重要性，A 项错误；B 项称海鸟废弃物给生态系统造成巨
大污染，在 Marcus V. Cianciaruso 的话中没有体现，B 项错误；C 项称海鸟帮助我们清洁环
境，在 Marcus V. Cianciaruso 的话中也没有体现，C 项错误。故选 D 项。

depend on seabird nutrients," ”（ “我们非常保守地估计，10% 的珊瑚礁鱼类资源依赖于海鸟
的养分。”）以及“"According to the United Nations and the Australian government, the annual
economic returns of commercial fisheries on coral reefs is over $6 billion. So 10% of this value is
around $600 million per year."”（“根据联合国和澳大利亚政府的资料，珊瑚礁商业渔业每年
的经济回报超过 60 亿美元。所以这个价值的 10% 大约是每年 6 亿美元。”）可知，第六段
主要使用各类数据（figure）来验证海鸟废弃物的经济价值。故选 B 项。
49．
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“New research has shown that the waste produced by seabirds could
be worth nearly half a billion dollars annually.”（ 新的研究表明，海鸟产生的粪便每年可能价
值近 5 亿美元。）这一主题句及各段落中心思想可知，本文主要讨论海鸟粪便的巨大价值。

world has played the tune. A hundred years ago, Macdowell owned the land where the
colony now sits. He liked its isolation and his ability to get work done there. After his
death, his wife, Marion, encouraged other artists to come.”可知，Elaine Agnew 之前
在 Macdowell 创作时发现这个地方清净，与世隔绝，他去世后，他的妻子也鼓励
其他艺术家来此地创作。所以作者介绍 Elaine Agnew 是想介绍这个艺术家聚居
地的起源。故选 B。

63．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了美国一个著名的艺术家的聚居地
-MacDowell Colony，介绍了它的起源以及艺术家选择在这里创作的原因。全文
围绕着这个殖民地展开描述。故 A 项是最佳标题。
【名师点睛】主旨大意题类型中的标题选择题部分，标题的选择要遵循“精、准、
全”三原则。“精”是指要用精炼的语言概括出文章的中心；“准”是指标题的选择
要注意文章的外延和内涵，不能扩大或缩小文章的内容；“全”是指标题的选择应
该排除掉那些片面的选项，而正确地选取能包含文章的主要内容及作者要表达的
观点的选项。例如本篇文章第 4 小题，选择一个更好的标题。通读全文可知，本
文讲述的有艺术家，有聚居地，有艺术性的创作。故排除 CD 选项。再次仔细阅
读可知，本文主要是讲述的聚居地的特点，起源以及艺术家选择在这里创作的原
因，而不是艺术家的创作。而且第一段开头“One of America’s best-known artist
colonies, the MacDowell Colony, will turn 110 next year.”也点明了文章主题——艺
术家的聚居地。故综合来看，A 项标题更能涵盖全篇。故此题选 A。

每篇文章都会有一个主旨要义。主旨要义题范围一般包括：短文标题、主题大意或段落大意
等。此题型要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点，概括中心思想。考生需要分析文章的篇章
结构，抓住文章的开头或结尾，从而找出能概括文章的主题句。主题句的特点：（1）语言特
点：归纳性、概括性、抽象性；（2）位置特点：主题句常出现在“总结性”语言的“信号词”后，
如：in summary, in a word, as a result, finally, in short, in conclusion 和 in brief 等；主题句常出
现在“转移话题式”语言的“信号词”后，如：but, however, nevertheless 等。标题的语言特点：
独特新颖 、概括性强、短小精炼。
A．主旨大意主要的设题方式有：
（1）Which of the following best gives the main idea of this newspaper article?
（2）The best headline for this newspaper article is ____.
（3）What is the topic of the text?
（4）The text is mainly about ______.
（5）What's the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?
（6）What would be the best title for the text?
B．主旨大意主要的解题策略有：
（1）标题类。文章标题可以是单词，短语，也可以是句子，它的特点是：短小精悍，多为
一短语；涵盖性强，一般要求能覆盖全文，其确定的范围要恰当，既不能太大，也不能太小；
本卷由系统自动生成，请仔细校对后使用，答案仅供参考。
答案第 22页，总 84页
精确性强，不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。
（2）主旨类。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题
句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情
节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必
牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如 but, yet, however, although,
in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary 等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答
题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。
如小题 4，本题是标题类，标题的形式多样，整篇短文介绍作者一家人在雪地里度过假期，
以及雪地里发生的有趣的事，C 项“Family’s Funny Vacation in the Snow”涵盖性强，正好概括
了这篇短文的大意。

【名师点睛】
广告布告类阅读解题技巧：
阅读这类文章时，也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息。细节题题干都
是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)，因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的
出处，再把原文和选项相比较。做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍
的效果。同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，
因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括。具体答题策略如下：
1、先题后文：
先读试题，了解考点；明确目的，快速捕捉，获取信息。
2、题干定向：
根据题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，按照题目顺序依次而下：问题与材料相同：对号入座；
问题与原文相同：同义替换、归纳事实等。比如第 65 小题，题干 Which of the following is NOT
true about eSOS? 以下哪项关于 eSOS 的选项是错的。细节理解题。根据第三段 The system is
lightweight and operates on sunlight power 一句可知这个系统以太阳能为动力，所以说它不需
要任何能量的说法是错的。故选 C

词义猜测题。由第二段的最后一句“Tyers told CNN that he felt it necessary to stop flying when
UN climate experts warned last year that the world has less than 11 years to avoid destructive
levels of global warming.”可知，泰尔告诉美国有线新闻网，当联合国气候专家去年提出警告
世界只有不到 11 年的时间去避免全球变暖的破坏性的时候，他觉得有必要停止飞行。由此

promise helps deal with the sense of hopelessness many people feel when it comes to fighting with
climate change.”和第四句“One of the problems is that people feel there's no point in what you do
singly.”可知，12 年前就已经停止飞行的罗森说，这个集体的承诺可以帮助解决很多人在抗

China.”第二段第二句“It was the climate crisis, not a love of trains, that drove the sociologist to
choose this hard route over a return flight.”，第四段的第一句“Activist Maja Rosen launched the
"Flight Free" activity in Sweden in 2018 with the aim of encouraging 100, 000 people not to fly
for one year.”可知，24 辆火车，9 个国家，13,500 英里。它们是一个从英国南安普顿到中国
东部的男人的火车旅行背后的数字。不是对火车的热爱而是气候危机使得这位社会学家在返
程时选择了这个艰苦的路线。积极分子马娅·罗森为了鼓励 10 万人一年不要飞行在 2018 年
瑞典举行了“不飞行”活动。由此可见，全文主要是在讲述为了应对气候变化而采取的长距离
火车出行而不是飞机出行，所以本文题目应该和火车出行有关。结合选项可知，选项 C 正

passengers want to work during flights.（尽管一些航空公司禁止乘客在飞机起飞和降落时使用
这类设备，但考虑到许多乘客希望在飞行期间工作，大多数航空公司都不愿实施全面禁令。）
由此可知，很少有航空公司想要全面禁止乘客使用电子设备，因为大多数乘客拒绝乘坐禁止
使用收音机和卡带机的飞机。故选 C。

把它归咎于移动电子设备，比如笔记本电脑、录音机和移动电话。作者并没有在这个问题上
表述自己的观点。故选 A。
细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。
抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎
都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于
这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短
文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。正确选
项虽然一般不是原文照搬，但是一般是原文的改写，意思不变。如换一个同义词，把否定改
为肯定，把肯定改为否定等。如第 2 小题，根据第一段 In the last 15 years, pilots have reported
well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference.（在过去的
15 年里，飞行员已经报告了超过 100 起可能由电磁干扰引起的事故。）由此可知，过去的 15
年里，100 起飞行事故可能是由电磁干扰引起的。故选 D。

本文为应用文。主要介绍了针对高中生的暑假期间报名参加的暑期课程。
124．推理判断题。根据 “About the program”中的“This is a five-week program from July 16 to
August 17, 2018, which is designed to help high school students to pave the way for a successful
college experience. We have 200-plus courses, such as film, philosophy, creative writing, and
computer science. Besides, we offer you two types of credit courses...”可知，本项目是针对高中
生在暑假期间进行的课程。课程内容有 200 多门，涉及范围比较广。结合下文中介绍了学费、
住宿费及如何申请等。由此可知，本文的目的就是吸引学生报名参加暑假课程的。分析选项
可知 C 符合题意。
125．细节理解题。根据最后 Tuition and Fees 中的“ $6,600 for 8-credit course”以及“Housing
(room and board) fee: $5, 700”可知，8 学分课程的学费和住房费是 6,600+5,700=12,300，故选
D。

evidence of financial need. Awards cover only a part of the program cost. Families should expect
to contribute to the remaining part. Award amounts are determined by many sides, including
family finances, availability of fund, and whether students are resident.... Local students may be
eligible (有资格的) for additional funding towards room and board.”可知，助学金适用于具有良
好学习成绩记录的中学生。助学金只够支付项目的一部分，剩下的由家庭支付。助学金的额
度由许多方面决定，包括家庭经济情况、可用的资金以及学生是否为当地居民……本地学生
可能有资格得到额外的食宿费。由此 A、C 和 D 是错误的，B 是正确的。

这是一篇说明文。介绍了一种新字体 Sans Forgetica 字体，通过强迫读者在每个单词上花更
多的时间来帮助他们更好地记住所读的信息。并通过两组实验对比证明了其有效性。
127．细节理解题。第一段最后一句“Sans Forgetica is a new font(字体)designed to help readers
better remember the information they read by forcing them to spend a bit more time on each word”
可知 Sans Forgetica 这种新字体通过强迫读者在每个单词上花更多的时间来帮助他们更好地
记住所读的信息，即它可以帮助读者更好地记忆信息，故选 D。
128．词义猜测题。根据后文“the brain has to struggle too much to decipher(破译)it while
neglecting the retention of information”可知大脑必须费力去破译字体,而忽视了信息的保留。
可推理上文是指字体“太古怪；陌生”使大脑无法理解，必须费力去破译字体，故划线部分的
词语意思应为“陌生的”，A. Strange 陌生的；B. Contradictory 矛盾的；C. Splendid 灿烂的；D.
Ugly 丑陋的。故选 A。
129．段落大意题。根据第四段倒数第一、二句“Sans Forgetica lies at a sweet spot where just
enough obstacle has been added to create that memory retention.” Its modifications force readers
to spend more time，but not too much time，reading each word，allowing the brain to engage in
deeper cognitive processing.可知 Sans Forgetica 字体的工作原理是设置恰到好处的障碍，迫使
读者花更多的时间阅读每个单词，以让大脑进行更深层次的认知过程。故第四段的主旨大意
是说明 Sans Forgetica 字体如何工作的，故选 C。

答案第 32页，总 84页
130．推理判断题。根据第六段第二句“They remembered 69 percent of the word pairs written in
Sans Forgetica，compared to 61 percent for the other fonts.”可知第一组实验中参与者记住了
69%用 Sans Forgetica 字体写的词组，而其他字体这一比例为 61%；和最后一句“they
remembered 57 percent of the text，compared to only 50 percent of the surrounding text written
in Arial font”可知第二组实验中用 Sans Forgetica 字体的一组记住了 57%，而 Arial 字体的一
组只有 50%。由此可以推理第六段提到两组实验的目的是证明 Sans Forgetica 字体的有效性。
故选 B。

confirm, send or store information securely （区块链可以改善任何人们需要安全访问、确认、
发送或存储信息的过程）。区块链的优势是增强人们信息处理的安全性。故选 B 项。
132．细节理解题。根据第四段 These types of systems have considerable, well-documented
weaknesses that arise from their being centralized. A centralized record is hard to understand and
is exposed to unauthorized access or distribution. It is also, because it is a ‘master’ copy, exposed
to permanent changing or deletion 可知，这种典型的系统有相当大的弱点，而这些弱点产生
于它们的集中化。集中记录很难理解，并且暴露在未经授权的访问或分配中。也是因为它是
“主”本，会遭到永久更改或删除。因此这种系统的缺点在于集中化。故选 C 项。
133．推理判断题。根据第 5 段 Block chains are also used to store information. Crucially, however,
they differ in two ways（区块链也被用来存储信息。但关键的是，它们在两个方面有所不同）
可知，文章是围绕将区块链和典型的存储系统作比较而展开的。下文是说明区块链存储信息
方式的不同。故选 A 项。

义，上文提到 Homer 认为海洋生物因为潮汐被迫进入水池，再根据 The creatures stranded in
the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained the UK’s
University of Bangor ocean scientist Mattias Green.中的 under the pressure，从而推测出 stranded

这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文以 Kevin Smith 因为太胖被西南航空公司的一架航班赶下了飞机
的实例揭露了航空公司对于特殊人群的乘坐飞机的歧视以及不合理的做法，作者建议不能歧
视任何乘客。否则会失去更多业务。
253．推理判断题。根据第一段中 Recently, Kevin Smith, the director of Clerks and Chasing Amy,
got kicked off of a Southwestern Airlines flight for being too fat.可知，短文以 Kevin Smith 因为
太胖被西南航空公司的一架航班赶下了飞机的实例揭露了航空公司对于特殊人群的乘坐飞
机的歧视以及不合理的做法。所以第一段提到的主管被赶下飞机的例子就是为了介绍本段的
主题。故选 C 项。
254．细节理解题。根据第三段中 With the combination of September 11 terrorist attack and the
economic downturn, the airline business hasn’t been doing very well. This means that airlines are
trying to squeeze every dollar out of flyers.可知，由于 911 恐怖袭击和经济衰退的双重影响，
航空公司的生意一直不太好。这意味着航空公司正试图从乘客身上榨取每一美元。所以航空
公司为什么要向肥胖乘客收取两张票的价格是因为他们面临财政问题。故选 B 项。
255．推理判断题。根据最后一段中 In conclusion, airlines should consider the special needs of
their customers to earn repeat business. If they force obese passengers to buy two tickets for one
flight, they not only discriminate them, but they may lose a lot of business as well.可知，总之，航
空公司应该考虑客户的特殊需求来赢得回头客。如果他们强迫肥胖的乘客购买一张航班的两
张票，他们不仅歧视他们，而且可能会失去更多生意。所以通过作者给航空公司所提出的意
见可以判断出，作者认为航空公司歧视肥胖者是不好的做法。故选 D 项。

动物，以及其他我们在现实生活中看不到的东西）可知，幻想是我们现实生活中看不到的东
西，不存在于真实的生活中。故选 B 项。

物和他们的作品。分别是 The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame；Charlotte's Web by E. B.
White 和 The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter。综合分析，故选 B 项。
258．
细节理解题。根据最后一段 These tales come before all others and are popular, as authors
throughout history, have written them（这些故事比其他所有的故事都来得早，而且很受欢迎，
因为历史上的作家都写过这些故事）可知，句中的“这些故事”指的就是前文提及的“现代民

oxybenzone and octinoxate is to check the label.”可知，要想知道防晒霜是否不含氧苯酮和辛烷

了一项禁止含有氧苯酮和辛烷氧酸盐的防晒霜的法案以及人们对此的不同看法，作者并没有

本文是一篇说明文，以前人们认为意志力的来源是有限的，心理学家意志力的有了新的理论，
认为意志力存在人脑中，对我们的行为能够产生很大的影响。
301．推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“They argued that the only way to regain willpower is by
supplying more energy to our bodies with rest, food or entertainment.”可知他们认为得到意志力
的唯一方法是用休息、食物和娱乐。句中“only”强调意志力的来源是有限的。故 A 项正确。
302．猜测词义题。根据前句“If you think of willpower as something that’s limited, you’re more
likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task”可知如果你认为意志力是有限的东西，在完
成困难的任务时，你更可能会疲惫；本句中的 but 是关键词，如果你认为意志力很难被耗尽，
那么你就可以继续下去。使用本句这的 deplete 意为“use up”，故 C 项正确。
303．推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“They found that a person’s mindset(理念) and belief about
willpower determine how long and how well they’ll be able to work on a tough mental exercise.”
可知研究人员发现意志力能够决定人们做一项艰难的任务的时间和结果。也就是说意志力能
够影响人们的行为。故 D 项正确。

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国汉语言文化中的姓氏文化。
305．
推理判断题。根据第一段第二三句话“That’s because those are the five most common surnames
in China — shared by 30% of the population. And the vast majority of the population share just
100 of those surnames. ”（这是因为这是中国最常见的五个姓氏，占总人口的 30%。而绝大多
数人的姓氏只有 100 个。）可推知，在中国普通姓氏较少。故选 A。
306．
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“China is less racially diverse than countries such as the US,
wherea wealth of minority groups increase surname diversity”（与美国等国家相比，中国的种族
多样性较低，在美国，丰富的少数族裔群体增加了姓氏的多样性。） 可知，少数民族可以增
加姓氏的多样性。故选 C。
307．
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“People with rare characters in their names, which aren’t
compatible(兼容的) with existing computer systems, can get left behind— pushing many to
change their names for the sake of convenience, even if it means abandoning centuries of heritage
and languages.”（名字中有罕见字符的人，与现有的计算机系统不兼容，可能会被抛在后面
——迫使许多人为了方便而改名，即使这意味着放弃几个世纪以来的传统和语言。）可知，
名字里有罕见字符的人可能不得不改名字。故选 B。
308．
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话“To try to address this, experts have increased the database
from 32,000 characters to 70,000characters, according to the government. ”（为了解决这个问题，
专家们已经将数据库从 32000 字增加到了 70000 字，根据政府的说法。）可知，此处 this“这

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了早晨醒来，闻到咖啡的香味，喝一杯纯正的咖啡，
是一种莫大的享受。同时作者建议在咖啡馆里喝咖啡才是真正享受咖啡的美味。
309．细节理解题。答案定位在第二段 Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he
believes the smell "is absolutely vital. When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that
smell hits you, you're getting physiological(生理上的) responses. "（Tim Hayward 是一位美食作
家和咖啡馆老板；他认为这种气味“绝对至关重要”。当你早上走进咖啡店，闻到咖啡味时，
你会产生生理反应。”）故选 D。
310．细节理解题。答案定位在第三段 This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in
a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it's convenient, but is it really the
right way to appreciate it?（当我点的咖啡装在一个高高的纸杯里，然后从杯盖上的一个洞里
啜饮时，情况尤其如此。是的，很方便，但这真的是欣赏它的正确方式吗?）由此可知，作
者在抱怨纸咖啡杯的设计，故选 C。
311．词义猜测题。根据上文 You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you
actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot
liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose.（你走进咖啡店，
你闻到了咖啡的味道，但是当你把饮料拿出来的时候，你喝的是一种可以把热的液体直接从
你的舌头上送过去的东西，但是可以阻止任何气味进入你的鼻子。）可推知，As well as
eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and a vast majority of them still
don't get recycled.的意思是“除了去除味道，外卖咖啡杯还会产生大量垃圾，其中绝大多数仍
无法回收利用。”故 eliminating 的意思是“去除”，A. Creating.创造；B. Removing.去除；C.
Increasing.增加；D. Changing.改变，故选 B。
312．主旨大意题。根据第一段 There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake up to in the

的气味。对我来说，这是刚煮好的咖啡的味道。只要闻一下就能让我从床上跳起来，冲到厨
房去喝一大口热的黑色液体。）是全文的主题段，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了早
晨醒来，闻到咖啡的香味，喝一杯纯正的咖啡，是一种莫大的享受，故选 A。

掉印记。时光荏苒，没人能够再回到从前。
313．推理判断题。由原文 The little waves, with their soft, white hands efface the footprints in the
sands, and the tide rises, the tide falls.可知，诗人通过海浪，沙滩和旅人的形象寄托着他对人
生的思考。不断袭来的浪花把时光向前推进，把人们在生活中留下的痕迹擦去。潮涨潮落后，
一切又周而复始。故选 B。
314．推理判断题。“The morning breaks: the steeds in their stalls”描写的是早晨一篇热闹的景
象；The twilight darkens, the curlew calls 描写的是黄昏时分，鹬鸟鸣叫。morning 与 twilight
形成对比。故选 B。
315．词义猜测题。由原文 The little waves, with their soft, white hands efface the footprints in the

技术的信念激发了我们对未来的期望。故选 B。
322．推理判断题。根据第四段中的 The potential evolution of today’s technology, and its social
consequences, is astonishingly complicated, and it’s perhaps best left to science fiction writers and
futurologists (未来学家) to explore the many possibilities we can merely imagine.（当今技术的潜

这是一篇说明文。鸟类学家最担心的问题之一是，气候变化将使鸟类的筑巢活动与养育小鸟
的食物供应脱节。但研究发现鹟亚科食虫鸟具有非常强的适应环境型，它会随着春天的提前
来到，在多汁毛虫数量最多的时候，提前产卵下蛋。
323．推理判断题。由第一段“One of the great concerns that ornithologists have is that climate
change will throw the nesting activities of birds out of sync (同步) with the availability of food for
the raising of chicks.”以及第二段“Upon returning to Europe from their African wintering
grounds, the flycatchers time their egg-laying to the short period when juicy caterpillars (毛毛虫)
are most abundant. During the past three decades this caterpillar peak has advanced by three
weeks.”可知，鸟类学家最担心的问题之一是，气候变化将使鸟类的筑巢活动与养育小鸟的
食物供应脱节。从非洲越冬地返回欧洲后，鹟亚科食虫鸟把产卵时间定在多汁毛虫数量最多
的一个短暂的时期内。在过去的 30 年中，毛毛虫数量的高峰期已经提前了三个星期。气候

的变化导致春天的提前到来，也导致毛毛虫数量的高峰期已经提前了三个星期，而鹟亚科食
虫鸟也会提前下蛋已获得食物的主要来源---毛毛虫。所以这一切最终是由气候变化所导致，
故判断出，对于鹟亚科食虫鸟，我们可以了解到气候变化是它们产卵时间提前的主要原因。
故 B 选项正确。
324．细节理解题。由最后段“ Drs Both and Ravussin conclude that the birds are attempting to
double their annual reproductive output”可知，DRS 博士和 Ravussin 博士得出的结论是，鹟亚
科食虫鸟正试图使它们的年繁殖量翻倍。所以 DRS 博士和 Ravussin 博士可能都同意鹟亚科
食虫鸟正在进行适应性调整，使其每年的繁殖量增加一倍。故 C 选项正确。
325．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，鸟类学家最担心的问题之一是，气候变化将使鸟类的筑
巢活动与养育小鸟的食物供应脱节。但研究发现鹟亚科食虫鸟具有非常强的适应环境型，它
会随着春天的提前来到，在多汁毛虫数量最多的时候，提前产卵下蛋。所以短文的最佳标题
为“早春早育”。故 B 选项正确。

本文是一篇社会类短文阅读。文章分析了城里人比乡下人更长寿的原因是城里人锻炼更多，
步行更多。
326．推理判断题。在第二段中作者讲述了许多城市人比乡下人走路多的场合，像短距离步
行比乘坐公共汽车更快，乘坐公共交通也需要一些步行，有的小公寓没有电梯，人们需要爬
楼梯，因为不好停车，城市人经常步行去超市。因此推断第二段的目的是列出在城市生活需
要走路的场合。故 B 正确。
327．推理判断题。根据第二段三句 Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so
people must climb stairs．可以推断出，走楼梯可能最健康。可知 B 正确。
328．推理判断题。根据最后一句 To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must
ride in cars．可知乡下人要开车上学主要是因为他们不得不开车，那么可能是因为住的地方
不靠市中心，交通不方便，故 A 正确。

推理判断题。根据第三段“However, learning by rote (memorization by repetition) is more
important than you think. There are many cases in which having knowledge immediately on the
tip of your tongue can have great social and professional value. For example, last night at a
networking event, when I casually asked a Nigerian entrepreneur how much of his business was
conducted in English versus in his native Yoruba, he immediately became more engaged in our
conversation. It was as if the simple fact that I knew that Yoruba was spoken in Nigeria won his
trust, and therefore built up our relationship.(然而，死记硬背——通过重复记忆——比你想象的
重要。在很多情况下，就在你的舌尖上的知识可以产生巨大的社会和职业价值。例如，昨晚

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, most constructivist educators will argue that on-the-job
training and project-based learning are more effective at learning new concepts than rote
memorization. The problem is that no single cost-effective constructivist activity will guarantee
that you will be exposed to all the concepts you need, or that you will fully remember the facts
that you are exposed to. If you actually want to acquire a full range of knowledge about a given
topic, the most guaranteed and efficient way is to study deliberately using the time-honored
practice of repetition—specifically confidence-based repetition.(当然，大多数建构主义教育者会
认为在职培训和基于项目的学习在学习新概念方面比死记硬背更有效。问题是，没有任何一
种具有成本效益的建构主义活动能够保证你接触到所有你需要的概念，或者你将完全记住你
接触到的事实。如果你真的想在一个给定的话题上获得全方位的知识，最有保证和最有效的
方法就是有意识地使用历史悠久的重复练习——特别是基于信心的重复)”可推知，作者认为
基于项目的学习在学习新概念方面的价值是有限的。故选 A。

存活是很重要的。故选 D。
