Part III Reading Comprehension (2×20)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage1

Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.

Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.

Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.

Passage2

It is a terrible illustration of man s weakness to nature ,and the tsunami(海啸) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.

Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.

But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves

created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.

66. The first paragraph tells us that .

A. man can easily defeat the nature

B. tsunamis take place only in Japan

C. man s ability to cope with natural disasters is limited

D. the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible

B. Rich countries are less affected by tsunamis than poor countries.

C. Approaching tsunamis can possibly be picked up by sensors.

D. An early warning system is effective when a tsunami is close by.

Passage 3

Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.

The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良) and heat-related health problems.

But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.

Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.

Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”

However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.

In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing

the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.

71.What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?

A．Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.

B．Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.

C．Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.

D．Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.

72. What do we learn about the Forum’s report from the passage?

A．It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.

B．It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.

C．It was warmly received by environmentalists.

D．It caused a big stir in developing countries.

73. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?

A．Its statistics look embarrassing.

B．It is invalid in terms of methodology.

C．It deserves our closest attention.

D．Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.

74. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?

A．Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.

B．It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.

C．It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.

D．Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.

75.What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?

A．How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.

B．How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.

C．How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.

D．How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.

Passage 4

Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.

But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.

Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share―this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.

As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎) over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.

As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.

Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.

76. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?

A.It is a kind of iced water.

B. It is just plain tap water.

C .It is a kind of bottled water.

D .It is a kind of mineral water.

77. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water (Line 4 Para2), Von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that ________.

A .plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking

B .bottled water is clearly superior to tap water

C. bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste

D. dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste

78. The-fancier brands (Line 3 Para 5) refers to ________.

A. tap water from the Thames River

B. famous wines not sold in ordinary stores

C.PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani

D. expensive bottled water with impressive names

79. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?

A. Bottled water brings in huge profits.

B. Competition from the wine industry is intense.

C. Most diners find bottled water affordable.

D. Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable.

80. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?

A. It is much cheaper than wine.

B. It is considered healthier.

C.It appeals to more cultivated people.

D. It is more widely promoted in the market.

72.A 细节题。根据文章第三段But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.

可知A正确。

73.B 细节题。由第五段2,3,4行the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions.说明他认为他的研究是无效的。故B正确。

本文主要讲述了气候变暖的几位专家的观点，并展开了议论。本文的障碍在于词汇方面，考生要能够在上下文的语境中猜测生词的意思，同时要有很强的归纳总结能力，从从字里行间中推断出对方所持的观点。

Passage4答案解析：

这篇文章分析了瓶装水在北美十分流行的原因。

文章开篇引题，以Iceberg Water为例，说明了瓶装水在北美的火热流行程度，为后文分析其流行的原因做好铺垫。第一段只有一句话，作者把reach谓语提前，使用倒装结构对Iceberg Water达到流行顶点这一事实进行强调，这样Iceberg Water置于句末，借以使用非限制性定语从句对这种瓶装水的来源进行描述。

第二段马上指出了瓶装水流行的原因，但这是借一位瓶装水专家之口来指出媒体普遍的观点：my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water，含义是瓶装水明显优于自来水。第二段的作用无疑是竖靶子以备批驳，第三段紧接着对这种观点进行了分析，并用源自泰晤士河的自来水比几种名牌瓶装水口感更佳为例进行了反驳。

在接下来的四段中，作者具体分析了瓶装水流行的真正原因。第四段有承上启下的作用，把百事和可口可乐公司作为例子，既以两家公司的瓶装水25%来源于自来水的事实继续反驳瓶装水优于自来水的观点，又以两家公司对瓶装水市场的重视引出瓶装水流行的真正原因。

第五、六段论证了售卖方式是瓶装水流行原因之一的观点，最后一段指出除售卖方式之外的其他原因(our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity)。

76. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?

A) It is a kind of iced water.

B) It is just plain tap water.

C) It is a kind of bottled water.

D) It is a kind of mineral water.(C)

本题问从文章可知Iceberg Water指的是什么。

文章在开头即提到了Iceberg Water，讲到它在北美的人气达到了新的高度，其源头是取自取自加拿大纽芬兰的冰川。从全篇来看，本文以瓶装水为论述的核心，说明其在当今社会的火爆程度，这与开头所述Iceberg Water人气达到新高的叙述意义一致。而在提到Iceberg Water之后的第二段，文章紧接着介绍了一位瓶装水专业人士对瓶装水流行原因的看法。由此来看，Iceberg Water很可能是一种瓶装水，文章以它来开头有引出论题的.作用。

A说是一种冰水，B说是一种普通自来水，C说是一种瓶装水，D说是一种矿物质水。

C是正确答案。

77. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water” (Line 4 Para. 2), von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that ________.

A) plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking

B) bottled water is clearly superior to tap water

C) bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste

D) dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste

这句话的意义必须结合上下文来理解。这句话出现在第二段，这一段的意思是：

Wiesenberger享有饮用水大师的称号，且是北美不多的几位饮用水评论家之一。他小时候曾居住在意大利、法国和瑞士较大的城市中，在这些地方，人们每天都要消费瓶装水。他在那时就订了一份饮用水杂志，留心记下他最喜爱的瓶装水牌子。“我的狗都能分出瓶装水跟自来水的区别。”他说道。

从这段描述中可以看出，这位饮用水大师自小就对瓶装水兴趣浓厚，甚至为了追踪最喜爱的牌子特意保有一份水杂志。作者的这些叙述显然传达了一个信息：瓶装水可谓是此人的至爱。那么在这种隐含意义下，他所说的瓶装水与自来水的区别决不真正是二者的实在区别，而是要突出瓶装水要优于自来水;连狗都能分辨这种区别，这是一种夸张说法，意在表明二者的差距之大。

A， 自来水当然不适合饮用。从全文给出的信息来看，自来水是适合引用的，句意本身错误，同时也不符合该句的真实含义。

B， 瓶装水显而易见地要优于自来水。此说法与前面的分析一致，是正确的。

C，瓶装水常常更符合狗的口味。Wiesenberger提到狗只是为了起到夸张的效果，并不是瓶装水真的更符合狗的口味。

D，狗一般能靠味觉发现细微的差别。此项犯的错误与C一样。

78. The “fancier brands” (Line 3 Para. 5) refers to ________.

A) tap water from the Thames RierB) famnus gins not sold in ordinary stres

C) PepsC聯’s Aquafana andCocamCml聡’S Dasani

D) expenive bottled wate2 職thimpressive nams

题目问fancie brands指的是俀么。

Fancir应该是fancy的比较级，fancy有“别臔、价格高昂的”的意思，frand指品牌。理覣它凷体的含义还是要看上下斏。耍#P#

这个词组出现在A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care一句中，意思是：饭店一般把酒价标高100%到150%，而瓶装水常常会达到300%到500%。不过水要比酒便宜得多，同时许多fancier brands在商店里买不到，因此用餐者就没有注意或者并不在乎。

从最后一句结论可以推测，fancier brands很有可能是更贵的水品牌，因为如果这些奢侈牌子在商店里买不到，人们就无从知道它的合理价格，即便到了饭店以高价挨宰(标高500%)，他们也并不知情，也就注意不到或不会在乎。只有这样逻辑才能通顺。四个选项分别是：

A， 源自泰晤士河的自来水

B， 不在普通商店中出售的名牌葡萄酒。

C，百事的Aquafina和可口可乐的Dasani。

D，拥有别致名字的昂贵瓶装水。

四个选项中D符合上文的分析。

79. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?

A) Bottled water brings in huge profits.

B) Competition from the wine industry is intense.

C) Most diners find bottled water affordable.

D) Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable

首先了解turn up the pressure的意思，turn up有“提高”的意思，如turn up the radio，提高收音机的音量。turn up the pressure就是加大压力、加大力度的`意思。这样题意就是“一些饭店加大力度售卖瓶装水的原因是什么”。

文中有As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water一句，as a result是“所以、因此”的意思，说明前文已经说明了加大力度的原因，答案需要到前一段去找。

上一段首先提到饭店对销售品牌瓶装水的利润垂涎三尺(restaurateurs salivate over the profits)，而后具体说明了其之所以能实现超额利润的原因：消费者对瓶装水合理价格水平一无所知。由此可以推断，饭店大力售卖瓶装水的原因就应该是高额利润的诱使。

A，瓶装水可以带来巨额利润。符合上面的分析。

B，来自酒业的竞争十分激烈。文中提到酒业(typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent)只是为了突出瓶装水的利润丰厚，没有提到二者存在竞争问题。

C，大多数就餐者认为瓶装水的价格可以接受。文中提到就餐者对价格的反应时是这样叙述的：most diners don’t notice or care，意思是他们不知道瓶装水的真实价格，因此没有注意或不在乎。但饭店老板不会因为自己商品的价格可以被消费者接受而热衷于售卖，这个价格中含有暴利才是原因。

D，瓶装水满足了就餐者喜欢时尚的需求。文章最后一段解释了瓶装水流行的其他原因，其中有它满足了our wish to appear cultivated，与D的说法稍有接近，但这是从消费者的角度进行的分析，不是饭店老板热衷于售卖瓶装水的原因。

80. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?

A) It is much cheaper than wine.

B) It is considered healthier.

C) It appeals to more cultivated people.

D) It is more widely promoted in the market.

题目问根据文意瓶装水为什么如此流行。

文章的最后一段对此做出了说明，直译如下：

不算其销售方式，饮用瓶装水能够满足我们对健康的更高追求，满足对更有教养的形象的追求，甚至对水的纯净度的追求。

从这段话可以看出，销售方式(how it’s sold，即第五六、段的分析)是瓶装水流行的一个因素，此外就是文末的三种因素：更高健康、更好形象和纯净度。

A认为原因是瓶装水比酒便宜。这是第五段的内容：water is much cheaper than wine，不过这里提到水更便宜是为了解释人们为何没有注意到瓶装水价格的虚高。

B认为原因是人们认为它更为健康，符合另三种因素的第一个：更高健康。

C认为原因是它能吸引更有教养的人。文中所说的对更有教养的形象的追求(our wish to appear cultivated)，是指一个人企望比以前的自己显得更有教养，而不是瓶装水对更有教养的人群的吸引力比对一般教养的人吸引力更大。

D认为原因是它在市场中得到了更大的推广。瓶装水得到了更大的推广，其意思等同于瓶装水流行，一个句子不能用它本身来解释本身。

The Attitude toward Crisis

In our life, there is not always plain road and we may confront various crises such as disease, accident, lost the way and so on. Toward these crises, different people have different attitudes.

Some people choose to face it directly and bravely. They believe that the difficulties and cries, taking disease as example, can be defeat by their intelligence and bravery. Also the advanced high-tech can help them come over the crisis. While the others think that it is so big that the crisis can not be solved. So they give up to fight against it and yield without any effort.

As for me, we must face the crisis bravely and fight against it. For example, some students failed in one exam. Some cried and sad, but some one made up his mind to study hard from then on. I stand on the side of the latter. Only can you change the sorrow into power, you can be winner before the crisis.

Part II. Reading Comprehension(50 points)

Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Most American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in West America. They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have

to do the same regular work, they’ll try to do it in different ways. Repetition and monotony ( 单 调 )

are what they cant stand.

In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats—hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.

One day there came a young tourist who entered a hat shop and found a very nice hat that cost five dollars. He said to the shop-keeper,” If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, Id like to buy two hundred hats of this style.” “No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style.”

“Hows that?” The tourist could not understand.

“Well,” said the shop-keeper, “if you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So at least you pay me double price.”

61.We can learn from the story that .

A.only the straw hats of the same style were sold

B.most American people dont want to do the same work again and again

C.the straw hats were sold only in the mountain village

D.the price will be cheaper if you buy a lot of hats of the same style

62.How much did the nice hat cost?

A. $5 B. $10 C. $15 D. $20

63.The answer of the shop-keeper really made the tourist .

A.frightened B. pleased C. puzzled D. delighted

64.Why did the shop-keeper ask the tourist to pay him double price?

A.Because the shop-keeper couldnt make two hundred hats of the same style.

B.Because the shop-keeper couldnt stand repeating the same work endlessly.

C.Because the shop-keeper didnt want to sell him so many hats.

D.Because the shop-keeper hadnt enough straw to make the hats.

63.“It will bore me almost to death” in Paragraph 5 means that .

A.it would be too expensive for the shop-keeper

B.the shop-keeper was bored and would die at once C the shop-keeper was dying

D. it would be too boring for the shop-keeper

Passage Two

It is exciting to apply for a job that really appeals to you. In making your application, there are a number of points for you to observe.

In your letter of application, say just enough to give a good account of yourself without being wordy. If you are answering an advertisement, any information for which it asks must, of course, be given. This will usually cover your academic record and any further education and training. You may also be asked to give the names of one or two persons to supply references. For this purpose

you should choose people who know you well enough to vouch(保证) for your character and ability;

and to be polite, you should seek in advance their permission to be named as referees.

It will depend on circumstances how much you can carefully add about yourself. Your purpose is to bring to the notice of the employer any good reason why you rather than any of the other applicants should be chosen for the job. Therefore, if you feel you have any special skill or talent for the work, or particular interest in the line of business. let it be known.

Finally, there is your use of language. You cannot go wrong if you keep your sentences and paragraphs short, making sure the sense is clear and well-expressed. Choose plain words so long as they convey the meaning.

66.The aim of writing a letter of application is to .

A.indicate why you are the most suitable for the job

B.reveal to the employer your academic record

C.show your character and ability

D.give more information about yourself

67.In your letter of application, try to .

A.keep it as long as possible

B.give more information about your education and training

A.Making a Job Application. B. Effective Letter Writing.

C. Writing Letters to Employers. D. Writing for Advertisements.

Passage Three

Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.

71.Hearing damage or loss may be caused by .

A.loud music B. the sound of a jet airplane or machines

C. common sounds at home or at work D. all of the above

72.The passage suggests that ones hearing .

A.will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one second

B.will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second

C.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one second

D.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second

73.According to this passage, we can draw a conclusion that aspirin . A.should never be taken more than four grams a day

B.makes hearing damage from noise worse

C.decreases hearing damage by two times

D.should never be taken for more than two days

74.Millions of Americans are in danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise because they .

A. take too much aspirin B. like listening to loud music

C. make loud noise at home and at work D. often take jet airplanes

75.The scientist found from his experiment that a day for two days would affect a persons hearing.

A. one gram of aspirin B. two grams of aspirin

C. three grams of aspirin D. four grams of aspirin

Passage Four

Ancient people had little idea of the nature of the earths surface. But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.

People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for “sea” is “salum”, which means “salt”. This is

because sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt—it is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was “in

salt” in Latin, and this became isle in English.

Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “continuous land, and so became known as continent in English from the Latin “continēnts” meaning continuous. In English, we also speak of a continent as the mainland (“main” comes from the Latin “magnus” meaning “ great”), as opposed to island( isle-land).

To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean Sea, in fact, gets its name from the Latin “medius” (middle) and “terra” (land). It was a sea that lay

in the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents—Asia, Europe and Africa—

are actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “isthmus” meaning “a narrow passage”, but Europe and Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earths population.

76.People in ancient times knew .

A.a lot about land and sea B. some continents were connected

C. little about the surface of the earth D. many people lived on the World Island

77.The word “continent” comes from language.

A.the Latin B. the Roman C. the Greek D. the Hebrew

78.“Eurasia” is the name for the continents of .

A.Europe and Asia B. Europe and Africa

C. Africa and Asia D. Europe, Asia and Africa

79.What connects Asia and Africa?

A.A small island. B. A large desert.

C. A narrow passage. D. A wide land.

80.About 85% of the population in the world are living .

A.in Europe B. in Asia

C. in Eurasia D. on the World Island

Part III. Translation (20 points)

Directions: In this part, there is one passage in English. Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese.

Learning English has been almost a painful experience for me, one that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Not only did learning English teach me the value of hard work, but also gave me

insights( 领 悟 ) into another culture. The most exciting result of having learned English is that I am

able to communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is my favorite activity, so the newly learned language allows me to meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new and unforgettable friendships.

Part IV. Writing (20 points)

Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition of 120 to 180 words. Your writing should be based on the title and outline given below.

College Students Doing Part-Time Jobs

There are many advantages for college students to have part-time jobs. First, it can help the students to realize that if they want to be successful, they need to be hard-working. Next, doing part-time jobs can help the students to learn about time management. Then, doing part-time jobs can provide the students opportunities to put what they have learned in class into practice, which, in turn, will help them learn about what exactly is needed in real jobs.

However, there may also be some disadvantages. Firstly, the students study hours may be shortened depending on circumstances. They may not have enough time to do their homework or study for their examinations. Secondly, some students may become too preoccupied with making money. They may not be willing to commit as much time as needed to their study. The consequences may include failure in examinations or non-graduation in the end.

As far as I am concerned, college students can take part-time jobs as long as they can keep a good balance between their study and their part-time jobs.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Task 1

Linkup ,the APP Research and Development Company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.

James Lee works for Linkup.org—— the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, Google.org will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.

Linkup.org’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. James Lee says microfinance (小额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth.

Linkup.org will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars.

Task 2

If you think 3D printing is only good for making delicate paperweights(压纸器), then you’re pretty much right. However, a group of Dutch architects have already begun 3D printing an entire canal house in Amsterdam. Is the first 3D printed house a gimmick(喙头)？Definitely! Is it an experiment that pushes the possibilities for 3D printing technology and architecture? Maybe!

3D Print Canal House is the brainchild of DUS Architects. “KamerMaker,” Dutch for “room maker”, is their giant printer built inside a shipping container. Just a few weeks ago, KamerMaker began printing plastic furniture and walls at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam. Smaller versions of the unusual honeycomb walls have been tested on normal desktop printers, and everyone just needed to scale it up (按比例放大). Well, if only it were that easy.

“The printer did not always manage to spread the plastic evenly(均匀的)， making some of the ribs of the honeycomb structure of the block uneven,”reported ARN(Australian Radio Network) to the surprise of no one who has used a 3D printer. But the architects remain optimistic. The first few printed blocks are means to be test prices as they improve the process.

It takes about a week to print a 3-meter high block right now. The project’s leaders hope to eventually get that down to two hours and finish the first of 12 rooms in a year, and the entire house in less than 3 years.

Finally, 3D Print Canal House is an architecture research project, one that is very much being conducted in the public eye. You can actually buy tickets to visit the construction site for 2.50 Euros.

The top floors will become more decorated, for example, as newer techniques are used. They’ll explore the possibilities of 3D printing, like honeycomb walls or an entire room recycled, redesigned, and built again. Nobody’s going to move into 3D printed house soon, but, if anyone ever dose, something might be learned from this experiment by the email.

26. What have the Dutch architects begun to use 3D printer to do according to the passage?___

A. To make heavy paperweights.

B. To print the unusual honeycomb.

C. To print an entire canal house.

D. To build a shipping container

27. Where did KamerMaker begin printing plastic furniture and walls several weeks ago?

A. It was inside a shipping container in Amsterdam.

B. It was at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam.

C. It was in a canal house in Amsterdam.

D. It was in a room.

28. What is the weakness of the 3D printer mentioned in the passage?

A. It cannot always spread the plastic evenly.

B. It needs to be shortened.

C. It cannot make the ribs of the honeycomb structure.

D. It can print anything smoothly.

29. How long will it take for the 3D printer to make the canal house in Amsterdam?

A. A week

B. Two hours

C. More than 3 years

D. Less than 3 years

30. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?

A. This canal house is being built in the public eye.

B. The top floors of the canal house will be more decorated.

C. Someone is going to move into this canal house soon.

D. One can visit the construction site for 2.50 Euros.

Task 3

Let’s say you have a certain amount of money you’ve saved up for holiday gifts. If you want to get something for everyone on your list, you can’t spend much on any single purchase.

But have you ever heard the expression "time is money "? There’s some truth to it! We “spend” time just like we “spend” money, and in both cases, we have to spend it wisely if we want to get something good in return. Just like you might get an allowance of 10 dollars a week. Or 38 dollars for a trip to the mall, each day we are given 24 hours of time.

The earliest way to help you get everything done to budget that time! This is all about:

-Examining your Have-to’s and Want-to’s.

-Examining your how much time your Have-to’s and Want-to’s will take up.

-Working out a plan that let’s you speed the amount of time on each one.

Once you have this plan, a “time budget”, you’ll be better able to create a Daily Schedule and Weekly Planner. Of course, everyday isn’t exactly the same as the next, so it may help you to make a different time budget for different days.

Let’s look at a sample time budget on Wednesday:

Sleep 8 hours

Shower, dressing, ready for school 1/2 hour

Breakfast 1/2 hour

Bus for school 1/2 hour

School 7 hours

Bus home 1/2 hour

Soccer practice 2 hours

Household chores 1/2 hour

Homework 2 hours

Dinner 1/2 hour

TV time 1 hour

Reading/personal time 1 hour

Total time spent 24 hours

Great! That day’s budget works out, because it all adds up 24 hours. If the total came out to be more than that, we would have choose something to cut down or drop from that day. When you make these types of decision, you choose priorities.

Task 4

[A]Interest in pursuing international careers has risen in recent years strengthened by permanent personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.

[B] Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.

[C]When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one--or two--page document describing ones educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to include two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.

[D]“Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of cross--border job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. "

[E]Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your oldest work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format."

[F]If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the receiver uses British English or American English because there are changes between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as tertiary education in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these changes may assume that your resume contains errors.

31. The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas seeks either his own or his childrens development.

32. When it comes to resume writing, it is best to take cultural factors intocon sideration.

33. According to the authors last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of the differences between the changes of English.

34. Companies are hiring more foreign employees because they have difficulty

finding qualified personnel at home.

35. When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to provide a detaileddescription of their study and work experiences.

Format I

Directions:

There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marker A,B,C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on The Answer Sheet.(40 points)

Passage One

Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:

A U.N. report says water is in demand around the world as temperatures on Earth’s surface rise and demand grows along with populations. The report was released this week at the World Water Forum in Brasilia. The conference has been described as the world’s largest water-related event.

Federal District Governor Rodrigo Rollemberg spoke at a panel discussion on Tuesday at the forum. He described water shortages as a worldwide problem. “Here in Brasilia, it is no different,” he added.

The public water supply has less water because of low rainfall as well as fast and disorderly growth in Brasilia, which is part of the Federal District, Rollemberg said. In January 2016, after three years of little rain, district officials began limiting how much water people could use. The governments of the Federal District and the nearby state of Goias also gave $166 million to develop water infrastructure（基础设施）.

Demand around the world is expected to increase by nearly one-third by 2050. By then, 5 billion people could be left with poor access to water, the U.N. warned in its 2018 World Water Development Report. To avoid such a crisis, U.N. officials called for “nature-based solutions” that use or copy natural processes that should be used to increase water availability. They said solutions could include changing farming methods so fields keep more moisture and nutrients, collecting rainwater, and protecting wetlands. The officials also proposed reestablishing floodplains and said that plants could be grown on housetops. Such proposals will become more important as water industries grow.

1. Who talked about water shortages in Brasilia at a panel discussion?

A. A journalist

B. A.U.N. official

C. A Federal District official

D. An official from the state of Goias.

2. What is among the reasons for less public water supply Brasilia?

A. Waste of rainwater

B. Insufficient rainfall

C. Growing plants on the roofs

D. Development in infrastructure

3. What did the Federal District government do to deal with water shortages?

A. They controlled population

B. They limited water consumption

C. They invested in artificial rainmaking

D. They suggested"nature-based solutions”

4. What is not a"nature-based solution"?

A. Gathering rainwater

B, Preserving wetlands

C. Sustaining water in soil

D. Building houses on floodplain.

5. What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Brasilia is facing the problem of water shortages

B. The world has found a solution to water shortages

C. The world is facing the problem of water shortages

D. A report was released at the World Water Forum in Brasilia.

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

The Queen has only given one interview while a sovereign(君主). Her true personality remains elusive to the public. However, one thing is clear: Queen Elizabeth is an introvert.Introverts prefer quiet environments and feel energized from spending time alone or with people they know well. They aren’t necessarily shy, but they do tend to be more reserved and guarded with strangers. Fellow introverts will appreciate how draining an average day for Her Majesty must be.

Fortunately, the Queen has some tricks to make public engagements easier. Just like us commoners rely on friends to save us from awkward situations or boring conversations, she subtly signals to her staff when she wants an intervention(介入）. If she places her handbag on the table, it indicates that she wants the event to end in the next five minutes. For more urgent situations, putting her bag on the floor shows that she wants her lady-in-waiting to rescue her immediately.

Most comfortable in the countryside, the Queen has a well-known passion for horses and dogs. There is a scene in the hit Netflix show The Crown which reveals a fascinating side of the monarch. While giving Jackie Kennedy a personal tour of Buckingham Palace, the two women find themselves bonding over their respective positions as introverted women who have found themselves in the limelight. Surrounded by the Queen’s beloved corgis, both women admit they are happiest around animals and that their extroverted sisters would have been much better suited to their public roles.

Passage four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage

You’ve made it. You managed to navigate your way through the world’s largest airport you breezed through security and you successfully boarded the plane. Now you’re comfortable in your seat in the cabin, and there’s even a little bit it of elbow room, as the flight isn’t fully booked for once. With the hassle behind you, you settle in with your neck pillow, pop some Kenny G on your iPod, and get ready to spend quality time sleeping on a plane. And you’re abouto make a huge mistake that will put your health at risk, as reported by Travel + Leisure.

It’s not because of the Kenny G. It’s the shuteye part. According to Medline Plus, falling asleep during landing or takeoff could cause serious damage to your ears. It all has to do with the rapid changes in air pressure in the cabin. If you’re awake, a natural response to alleviate pressure on your eardrums during takeoff and landing is to “pop” them, to maintain a pressure equilibrium. If you’re sleeping on a plane, you can’t actively work to relax those muscles and release the tension, so you can become susceptible to dizziness, ear infections, eardrum damage, hearing loss and nose bleeds. “A quick change in altitude affects the air pressure in the ear,” says Angel Chalmers, a British pharmacist, via Express. “This leads to a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes(咽鼓管) which makes the ears feel blocked and sound dull.”

Keep those Eustachian tubes clear and keep those eyes open for at least another few minutes. Crack open that book you just bought in the terminal. After all, there are some major perks to buying your reading material at the airport.

16.The underlined sentence"youve made it .”(Paragraph 1) means that you have managed_____.

A. to board the plane

B. to get a bit of elbow room

C. to get ready to sleep after boarding

D. to make yourself comfortable after boarding

17. What would damage your health when the plane lakes off or lands?

A. Using a neck pillow.

B. Shutting your eyes

C.Listening to music

D. Falling asleep.

18. The underlined word"alleviate"( Paragraph 2) is the closest in meaning to “____”.

A.increase

B. reduce

C.maintain

D,escape

19. Having a vacuum in the Eustachian tubes during takeoff and landing could cause unpleasant symptoms to the following body parts EXCEPT____.

A. the throat

B. the nose

C. the cars

D. the head

20. The author suggests that you read a book____during the plane taking off and landing

A. to amuse yourself

B. to stay awake

C. to keep your ears clear

D. to make yourself comfortable

Section B Short Answer Questions(每小题 3 分,共 10 分)

Directions: In this part there is a short passage followed by five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers ou The Answer Sheet.(10 points)

Researchers in Japan and Australia say they have made progress in developing blood test that could one day help doctors identify who might get Alzheimer’s disease. The scientists said the test can recognize a protein known as amyloid (涛粉样蛋) beta, which other studies have linked to Alzheimers. They said it was correct more than 90 percent of the time in a study involving over 370 people. The findings were published in the journal Nature.

Alzheimers disease is the most common form of demenna（痴呆). Experts believe dementia affects close to 50 million people worldwide. By the year 2050, it is expected to affect more than131 million people. Those numbers come from Alzheimers Disease International, a non-profit group. Currently, doctors have two ways to identify a buildup of amyloid beta in the brain. One is brain scan or brain imaging; the other is a spinal tap(脊椎抽 液). But both tests are invasive,costly and may only show results when the disease has already started to progress. There is no treatment that can slow the progression of Alzheimers. Current drugs can only case some of the effects of the disease.

Having a simple, low-cost blood test could make it easier for drug companies to find enough people who are at risk of developing Alzheimers to test new medicines, said Katsuhiko Yanagisawa. He was one of the leaders of the study. He works at the Japanese National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology

Alzheimers disease is thought to start developing years before patients have any signs of memory loss. Experts say an important factor in finding an effective treatment will be the ability to recognize signs of the disease early. "You have got to walk before you run, "said Colin Masters, a co-leader of the study and a professor at the University of Melbourne in Australia. " You have to learn to diagnose the disease directly before you can hope to see the effect of therapeutic intervention. And that’ s where the real value in this test will come. " Masters added.

56.This passage reports the development of a test to diagnose Alzheimers disease

57. One advantage of the present test is that it costs than the previous tests.

58. All the three tests identify Alzheimer’s disease by detecting a protein named .

59. Can doctors cure or slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease today?

60. Alzheimers disease may have already started before patients have any signs of memory .

Directions: Translate into Chinese the underline sentences in the following passage. Please write your translation on The Answer Sheet.(15 points)

When asked how far engineers had done towards creating artificial intelligence(AI),Stephen W. Hawking replied: 66. Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it would take off on its own. It will redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldnt compete with them. We would be replaced.”

In my view, the late Cambridge professor is wrong because there are strong grounds for believing that computers will never copy all human cognitive abilities. 67. AI has historically failed to copy human mentality, and it will continue to fail. Three fundamental problems explain why.

First, computers lack true understanding. A US philosopher John Searle proposes how a computer program can appear to understand Chinese stories by responding to questions, but fail to truly understand anything of the interaction.

Second, computers lack consciousness. Some researchers hold 68. if a robot experiences a conscious sensation as it interacts with the world, consciousness will exist in everything everywhere：in the cup of tea I am drinking, in the seat that I am sitting on. But does everything in this world have souls or minds? If we reject this idea, we must reject machine consciousness

Lastly, computers lack mathematical insight. Can the human mind be completely realized by mere computations my role as an Al expert on the International Committee for Robot Arms Control.I am particularly concerned by the potential development of robotic weapons systems. 69. These systems can engage themselves in military action without human instruction. This is because current AI is not similar to human intelligence. When fighting against each other, poorly designed autonomous systems have the potential to make the situations worse rapidly. Such systems can exhibit true artificial stupidity.

It is possible to agree that 70. AI may pose an existential threat to humanity, but it will never become more intelligent than us.

第三部分：阅读理解（Part I Reading Comprehension本大题共20小题，每小题分，共30分）第一节：短文理解，考生可根据文章内容从每题四个选择项中选出最佳答案。

Passage One

A lot of kids are getting online these days —sharing data, talking about social issues, meeting adults as well as kids, and learning about other cultures. There seems to be everything on the network. Just like any other form of media, the quality of this massive collection of information is unequal, and there is good information as well as rubbish.Networks hold great promise: however, it’s also home to people who mean to hurt others or use their technical knowledge to steal from them . Although many Web pages can teach kids useful things, there are some other sites waiting to temp young people who are immature and easily affected.

By now, you may shake your head, but wait, let’s try to put the problem into perspective

’s safe for kids to use the Internet. The number of sites considered harmful is between 1% and 3%, which shows about million other sites are interesting and educational. Besides, to stop children from using these services just because crimes are being committed online would be like telling them not to attend college because students may have accidents on campus.

What can parents do to protect their children from those harmful sites? The simplest solution is the use of programs which block offensive sites. Such programs are set to screen out certain words likely to appear on “unhealthy” sites. But many sites inappropriate to young people are clever at using words with double meanings that may appear harmless. Whats more, not only do the programs fail to do the job satisfactorily, they also take away the decisive role of parents in children’s education. A child who downloads bad information or pictures can only be corrected by positive family influence. No filtering program is necessary for a child who has learned to say “no” to sites he knows are inappropriate for him.

Today, when children are exposed to technology at a young age, parents often find themselves lagging behind in computer skills. Surprisingly, this may be the key to your involvement. What is better way to learn about the Internet than to do so alongside your children? They’ll most likely pick it up more quickly than you do, of course, but you’ll have the chance to see, and take pride in, your child at work. You may search for information that interests your child together with him and get to know the “friends” he has online, just as you would get to know his other friends.

Thoughtful parents would combine supervision with communication, which is the best wav to take advantage of the Internet as a resource while protecting their children. Follow their examples and have fun with kids on the Net!

51. According to the passage, is it wise for parents to keep their children away from the computer? Why?

A) No. Because there are also millions of sites which are interesting and educational.

B) No. Because their children have the right to use computer,

C) Yes. Because there are many rubbish sites which may hurt children.

D)Yes. Because children may become addicted to computer games.

52. In the last two paragraphs, parents are advised to

A) learn about the Internet along with their children

B) watch their children while they are at work

C) search for information for their children

D) make friends with their children

53. According to the article, the best way to protect children as well as take advantage of the Internet is .

A) the use of filtering programs

B) parents，mastery of computer skills

C) the combination of supervision and communication

D) forbidding them to make friends on the Internet

54. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined expression “lagging behind”？

A)hide behind B) run behind

C)walk behind D) fall behind

Passage Two

When you go to university to study for a degree, you have decided to study professionally, rather than as an amateur; so being a student is now your profession for at least the next four years.

This involves a change of attitude in many ways. Although the process has been going on since you went to middle school, the biggest change is going to take place. Now, instead of taking several subjects, you have chosen one major subject because you find it interesting and worth exploring further. The choice was yours. You also have the goal of getting a degree . The degree and the stages you have to pass through to achieve it give you motivation, even though it may become weak from time to time, and not all parts of the course will be exciting; a sure way to lose interest is to do too little work. It is a law of diminishing returns - the less work you do, the less interest you will have and the more bored you will become. So, regular work is needed to keep up your interest as well as to keep pace with new work.

Another change is in the relationship with teachers. This may well have changed during middle school and high school, but now the whole context is different. You are no longer forced lo slay in school all day, and apart from your class time, you organize your own time and place for studying. You are there to study (an active process) rather than to be taught (passive). Your teachers may or may not urge you, but they do want you to share their interest in the subject and they want you to succeed.

Some activities, like discussing and reading, are basic to studying. Make sure that you are doing these efficiently.

Group discussions give you a chance to train yourself to speak and discuss more effectively. Theywill fail in their purpose if you keep silent —and if you start off this way, the harder it will become to get out of the situation of being the non-speaking member of the group. In the future you are almost certainly going to have to be good at speaking, so get into the way of talking about your subject now. This is actually more fun than sitting being silently miserable because you are not saving anything. Nobody will think what you say is foolish. Everyone will be thankful not to face awkward silence.

55. When does a person start to study professionally?

A）The time when he starts a profession.

B）The time when he goes to university.

C）The time when he knows how to study.

D）The time when he goes to high school.

56. Which of the following is not unique to university?

A）Students have to choose one major subject.

B）The goal of study is to get a degree.

C）Students need to work hard.

D）Students organize their own time for studying.

57. University teachers.

A）don’t care about students’ performance

B）hope students can share their interest in

C）force students to stay in school all day

D）know nothing about their students

does the underlined word “they” refer to？

A）University teachers.

B）Group discussions.

C）University students.

D）The topics of discussions.

Passage Three

When I first met Nina, I disliked her at once. She was wearing skintight pedal pushers, a flashy, floppy top, and sneakers with no socks - bizarrely inappropriate even at our very informal company. Soon, Nina was doggedly pumping me for information about the new department I was running, where she hoped to get a permanent job. Not a chance, I thought. Not if I have anything to say about it

However, I didn’t Within a few days she was ‘trying out’，for me. I gave her a moderately difficult, uninteresting, and unimportant project that I didn’t need for months. It took that long for her successor to put in order the mess she had made out of ft Although I couldn’t have prediction exactly what Nina would do，in three minutes I had assessed her as someone who could not be relied on to get a job done.

We all make quick judgments about strangers. Within seconds after we meet someone, We take in a host of details and draw rather large conclusions from them. We may decide in a minute whether it is someone’s nature to be warm or cold, friendly or hostile, anxious or calm, happy or troubled. Unconsciously, we often ask and quickly answer certain questions: Will I enjoy talking to him at this party? Will she make an interesting friend? Will he/she make a good boss / sales manager / secretary for me? If we get to know the person better, we may change our minds. But we may not have the chance.

From Nina’s inappropriate dress and aggressive behavior toward me, I’d decided she was pushy. stupid and had poor judgment.I also had a lot of vague impressions I couldn’t explain. It was as if a warning bell went off in my head. Its message: this person was not to be trusted; her behavior would be unpredictable; she was motivated by a peculiar agenda of her own that I would never understand.

I was using a combination of observation, inference and intuition.

did the author dislike Nina?

A）Because of her badly looking sneakers.

B）Because of her inappropriate dress and aggressive behavior.

C）Because of her special uniform.

D）Because of her dirty words to the author.

did the author give Nina an“unimportant project” that he “didn’t need for months”？

A）Because the author wanted to play trick on her.

B）Because he had no other job for her to do at the moment.

C）Because the author believed she was the right person for the job.

D）Because the author thought she couldn’t be relied on to get a job done.

to the passage, which of the following is not true?

A）People tend to make quick judgment about strangers.

B）The author’s first judgment about Nina was totally wrong.

C）Nina behaved rather pushy when she first met the author.

D）The author actually disliked Nina at the first sight.

author’s judgment about Nina was based on .

A）a combination of observation, inference and intuition

B）a combination of imagination and observation

C）a combination of observation, intuition and imagination

D）a combination of inference, analysis and imagination

Passage4

FEED THE BRAIN,BUT LESS SUGAR

While no single factor has been identified as the cause of Alzheimers it is thought that lifestyle choices,such as diet exercise and sleep habits can all have a significant impact on the fact,research by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has,so far. suggested that lifestyle changes related to healthy ageing looks more promising than rug studies.

For the last decade or so,researchers have been exploring the link between our modern diets and the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer’s, specifically the connection between sugar and the disease. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that even a mild elevation of blood sugar is associated with an elevated risk of dementia.

Previous research had shown a higher risk for diabetics in developing Alzheimers more recent research has shed further light on this ,finding an intricate link between insulin resistance and the bodies produce insulin that is necessary for the survival of brain cells,but this process goes awry when a toxic protein ,called ADDL,removes receptors form these cells and renders them insulin resistant. As the ADDLs accumulate,our memory can begin to deteriorate.

So,what should we be feeding our bodies ti give our brain the best change? A diet low in sugar and carbohydrates and high in healthy fats is essential. Opt for real food above processed options and try to keep added sugar levels to a minimum(ideally between 15 and 25 grams a day).Add plenty of good fats like avocados,raw nuts and coconut and other nut oils to the diet and try a high-quality probiotic to optimise the flora in the gut.

76. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the causes of Alzheimers?

. B. Exercise habits.

【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。由第一段第一句可知，“生活方式的选择，如饮食，锻炼和睡眠习惯， 都可能对这种风险产生重大影响。”，所以正确选项是C。

does the sentence “lifestyle change related to healthy ageing look more promising than drug studies”imply?

A. We should research more on drugs.

should research more on lifestyle changes related to healthy ageing.

should promise to have more drug studies.

should promise to change lifestyles of whose health is ageing.

【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。由第一段可知，“与健康老龄化相关的生活方式的改变看起来‘比药物研究史更有前途’”，也就是说，生活方式对健康老龄化的影响要比药物影响大，所以正确选项是B。

78. What’s the relationship between blood sugar and risk of dementia according to Paragraph 2?

have positive correction. have negative correction.

have no relationship. have no obvious relationship.

【答案】A

【解析】细节埋解题。由第二段中“A study published in the New England Jourmal of Medicine demonstrated that even a mild elevation of blood sugar is associated with an elevated risk of dementia.发表在新英格兰医学杂志上的一项研究表明， 即使是轻微的血糖升高也会增加患痴呆症的风险。”可知，血糖升高对老年痴呆产生的是正相关，即“血糖越高，患老年痴呆的风险越大”，所以正确选项是A。

79. Which of the following statement about insulinis TRUE?

can help the survival of brain cells.

can resist the aging of brain cells.

can help resits ADDLs.

can deteriorate our memory.

【答案】A

【解析】细节理解题由第三段的第二句可知，“.Our bodies produce insulin that is necessary for the survival of brain cells, 我们的身体产生的胰岛素对于脑细胞的存活是必要的”，所以正确选项是A。

following are all good fats EXCEPT

nuts C. coconut

【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。最后一段“Add plenty of good fats like avocados,raw nuts and coconut and other nut oils...在饮食中加入大量的有益脂肪，如鳄梨、生坚果、椰子和其他坚果油”可知，鳄梨，生坚果，椰子都属了有益脂肪。

Passage 4

【译文】：

喂饱大脑，但少吃糖

虽然没有任何一个因素被认为是导致阿尔茨病的原因，但人们认为，生活方式的选择，如饮食，锻炼和睡眠习惯，都可能对这种风险产生重大影响。事实上，到目前为止，阿尔伯特爱因斯坦医学院的研究表明，与健康老龄化相关的生活方式的改变看起来“比药物研究更有前途”。

在过去十年左右的时间里，研究人员一直在探索现代饮食与老年痴呆日益增长之间的联系，特别是糖与疾病之间的联系。发表在新英格兰医学杂志上的一项研究表明，即使是轻微的血糖升高也会增加患痴呆症的风险。

先前的研究已经表明，糖尿病患者在阿尔茨海茨病的发展中有更高的风险，最近的研究进一步揭示了这一点，发现了胰岛素抵抗和大脑之间的复杂联系。我们的身体产生的胰岛素对于脑细胞的存活是必要的，但是当个叫做ADDL的有毒蛋白质从这些细胞中移除受体并使它们产生胰岛素抵抗时，这个过程就会出错。随着ADDL累积，我们的记忆可能开始恶化。

那么，我们应该给我们的身体提供什么来给我们的大脑带来最好的改变呢?低糖、低碳水化合物和高健康脂肪的饮食见必不可少的。选择“真正的”食物高于加工的选择，并尽量将糖的含量保持在最低限度(理想情况下是每天15到25克)。在饮食中加入大量的有益脂肪，如鳄梨，生坚果、椰子和其他坚果油，并尝试高质量的益生菌来优化肠道菌群。

参考范文1:

Lifelong Learning

During recent years, people, have attached more and more importance. to lifelong are

learning at school and they will continue their learning in society after , many old people are also trying to learn all kinds of new ideas and learning makes a great difference to all aspects of life.

There are a variety of reasons that can account for this phenomenon, and I explore only a few of the most significant ones here. First of all, it is well known that lifelong learning can help us acquire a lot of useful knowledge. which always plays a vital role in our life. Whats more，there is D0denying that competition in todays society is so fierce that everyone should learn all kinds of knowledge to meet its demands. In the end, we must admit that we can set a good example to our children and encourage them to study hard if we insist on lifelong leaning.

As for as I am concerned,lifelong learning is a good phenomenon from which we can benefit a lot. It should be advocated vigorously, As individuals, we should pay enough attention to it, seize every opportunity to learn, and make it bring much more influence to us.

参考范文2: On Lifelong Learning

As the old saying goes,“Its never too late to learn” , we should always realize that the most important things in this society is keeping by doing this can we keep up with the pace of the time.

It is necessary for people of all ages to learn. First, with the development of science and is updated every day. If one doesn’t want to learn, his knowledge will be out of date. Second,learning is an experience of seeking,gaining and owning. Its great fun to by learning can one find the joy in , his life will be a boring one.

In my opinion, I would like to enter for the self-education to learn new things in order that I can get some diplomas. Because I think many diplomas will help me to strengthen my ability and get a better job.

Questions 20 to 23 are based on the following passage.

Viktor Frankl， a famous Jewish psychiatrist(精神病医生）, wrote his bestselling 1946 book Mans Search for Meaning in nine days about his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. Frankl concluded that the difference between thoseprisoners who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing ： Meaning, an insight he came to early in life.

In 1991, the Library of Congress listed Man5s Search for Meaning as one of the 10 most influential books in the United States. It has sold millions of copies worldwide. Now, over twenty years later, the book s ideas—its emphasis on meaning, the value of suffering, and responsibility to something greater than the self—seem to be at odds with our culture,which is more interested in the pursuit of individual happiness than in the search for meaning. But happiness cannot bepursued. It follows. One must have a reason to be happy,”Franklwrote.

According to Gallup, the happiness levels of Americans are at a four-year high. Gallup also reports that nearly 60%of all Americans today feel happy, without a lot of stress or worry. On the other hand, according to the Center for DiseaseControl, about 4 out of 10 Americans have not discovered a satisfying life purpose. 40% either do not think their liveshave a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about whether their lives have purpose. Nearly a quarter of Americans do nothave a strong sense of what makes their lives meaningful.

Research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases overall well-being and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, and decreases the chances of depression. On top of that, the single-minded pursuit ofhappiness is leaving people less happy, according to recent research.

20. According to Paragraph 1, we know that Viktor Frankl_____________ .

A. wrote his early life experience as a soldier

B. lost his hope of seeking the meaning of life

C. spent nine days in Nazi concentration camps

D. survived with the spiritual support of life meaning

21. The book’sideas dont agree with American culture because Americans are more interested in searching for____.

A. happiness B. meaning C. suffering D. stress

22. The percentage of Americans who don’t have a satisfying life purposeis______________ .

A. 25% B. 60% C. 40% D. 10%

23. Which of the following is the idea the author intends to convey?

A. Mental health is the most important factor in life.

B. Pursuit of happiness is the most important thing in life.

C. Physical health can be improved if you are happy.

D. Realizing the meaning of life is important to happiness.

Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.

If you’ve ever lost your wallet (钱包), then you know that it’s a very terribleexperience. Most people keep a lotintheir wallets. That’s where they keep their drivers license, their credit cards, and all kinds of other important things. Of course，that’s also where most of us keep our cash.

We all need cash in our lives. However, something called digital currency is slowly replacing cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. For example, the UK is the pound, and the USA is the dollar. If something is digital, it only exists on a computer. So “digital currency” means money thatonly existson computers.

Lots of people have digital currency accounts. They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot ofpeople wonder, “Why in the worldshould I change myreal moneyinto digital money? ” This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example， if you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with digital currency.

Many people still don’t trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can’thold their money in their hand, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computertells them that their money is safe, but these people don’tfeel safe. Another problem is security. There are hackers all overtheworld. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.

You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing： If you want to buy something online, then you probably won’thave achoice. You’ll have to use digital money.

24. The word “fair”（ Para. 3) is closest in meaning to__________ .

A. beautiful B. equal C. pleasant D. reasonable

25. Which of the following is probably a hacker according to the passage?

A. A person who uses a computer to steal things.

B. A person who composes computer programs.

C. A person who uses a computer to buy things.

D. A person who owns a lot of digital currency.

26. How do those who don’t trust digital currency think about money?

A. The money on a computer screen is safe.

B. The money in their hand is real.

C. Real money is worth more than digital money.

D. Real money and digital money are the same.

27. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Hacker problems in the world. B. Currencies used in particular countries.

C. A new kind of money. D. Safety of digital currency.

Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.

Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing?

Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed (封闭). Even the best artificial environments can^ come close to matching the space and freedom that animals have in their natural environments. Thisenclosure causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, in some parksdolphins (海豚)are forced to perform tricks, who may die decades earlier than their wild relatives. And some even try to kill themselves.

On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to educate the public aboutconservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their natural environments. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated by people, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out importantresearch into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses. One of the most important modern functions of zoos issupporting international breeding(繁殖) programmes, particularly for endangered species(种群). In the wild， some ofthe rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed insecure environments.

So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zooscan surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe imprisoninganimalsfor any reason is simply wrong.

28. The expression “artificial environments” (Para. 2)is used in contrast to_______________.

A. natural environments B. some zoos

C. breeding programmes D. modern functions

29. Why are dolphins mentioned in Paragraph 2?

A. They are ocean animals.

B. They are good at performing.

C. They are made to behave unnaturally in some parks.

D. They are supported by international breeding programmes.

30. According to the passage, international breeding programmes are particularly important to________.

A. animals in zoos B. split-up families

C. dolphins in parks D. endangered species

31. What is the author’s attitude towards zoos?

A. Negative B. Positive C. Critical D. Understandable

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.

How many times, when finding yourself in a difficult situation, have you heard something like, “You just need to go somewhere, change your environment, and meet new people.” Upon hearing this, we think such advice can be annoying： going through hard times, you rather expect help, sympathy, or at least something more practical, rather than“You know， you should travel”. However, the surprising truth is that this is probably one of the most useful and practical pieces of advice you can get.

Of course, you cannot abandon everything and set off to go on a world trip. All of us have duties, responsibilities, debts, connections. However, the advice to travel does not necessarily imply something like departing to Nepal and living among monks(僧侣)for years. In fact, small but regular journeys are available almost to everyone, and the positiveeffects they can have on your mental condition and your ability to cope with difficulties are significant.

When you are stressed， your thoughts obviously cannot be positive and optimistic(乐观的).So, whether you want it or not, you will view your life situation from a rather pessimistic perspective(悲观的`视角). However， when you board a plane and fly overseas, you almost immediately start to feel your problems fade. “Out of sight, out of mind,’’ as the saying goes. Of course, I am not saying the easiest way to feel better is to escape from problems; I rather mean that taking a break and allowing yourself to breathe in some fresh air can give you a new perspective. Having a good rest is a necessary condition of any recovery, and your mind definitely needs rest from time to time.

Speaking of new perspectives, when travelling, you will inevitably meet a lot of new people. Some of them will become friends of yours; some will remain strangers. Psychologists have known that perhaps the most honest and sincere communication often occurs between strangers； this is called "the companion effect”. Useit to your advantage. Whether youneed advice, help, or a person who would quietly listen to you as you share your hardships, there is no better opportunity to get all this from strangers while travelling. Travelling can not solve your problems but will help you recover from yourmental wounds, get rid of the excessive stress, and give you the skills to deal with your hardships as you return home.

32. While in a difficult situation, people think the suggestion “You just need to gosomewhere”______..

A. annoying B. surprising C. practical D. useful

33. What does the advice to travel really mean in this passage?

A. Finding a temple and living with the monks.

B. Giving up your duties and departing to Nepal.

C. Starting a small journey and getting yourself refreshed.

D. Forgetting everything and starting a trip around the world.

34. What does the word “ it ” （ Para. 4) refer to?

A. A trip. B. The communication. C. A new perspective. D. The companion effect.

35. What is the probable title for this passage?

A. Sincere Communication Is a Way Out of Problems

B. Travelling Offers New Perspectives in Life Situation

C. Going Through Hard Times Needs Help and Sympathy

D. Travelling Is the Best Way to Escape from Problems

Passage One

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”

For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”

One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to

congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

Passage Two

Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.

The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.

For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.

Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.

66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.

A. part of a historical cave system

B. the biggest underground lake in the world

C. listed in the Guinness Book of World Records

70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as __

A. an underground testing site B. an Indian meeting ground

C. a tourist attraction D. a motor boat race course

Passage Three

Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.

But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.

For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”

Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.

71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.

A. the year the author wrote the article B. 1977

C. any year between 1997 and 1983 D. 1983

72. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.

A. several studies have been done in the past few years

B. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health

C. adults have especially made studies in this field

D. eating little in the morning is good for health

73. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.

A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance

B. not giving people breakfast improve performance

C. having breakfast does not improve performance, either

D. people having breakfast do improve their performance

74. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.

A. stories, poems, plays, etc. B. written works on a particular subject

C. any printed material D. the modern literature of America

75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.

A. breakfast does not affect performance

B. Dr.Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning

C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children

D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London

Passage Four

About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science

(B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).

It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.

Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.

While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.

76. College education is _______ in America.

A. quite common B. very rare

C. something difficult D. almost impossible

77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.

A. entrance examinations B. taking part in many activities

C. GPA D. college prep classes

78. How can poor students attend private schools?

A. Only by working at part-time jobs. B. Only by working at full-time jobs.

C. Only by earning scholarships. D. All of above.

79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.

A. discuss problems on philosophy B. play balls

C. earn enough money D. go to the cinemas or theatres

80. The best title for this passage is _______.

A. Part-time jobs B. American college

C. Popular activity D. A new system

In Money Everything?

I don’t think money is everything, but we can’t do without it. Fox example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education. And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation. What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages
