Ⅰ. Listening (略)

II. Grammar & vocabulary

Section A

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

Last year, a report by a committee of education experts said that a lot of American students cannot write well. The report noted the concerns of business leaders and teachers. The experts said that more students should have to pass a writing test (21) they can finish high school. They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now (22) (include) a writing part.

Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies (23)（develop）

computer programs that can grade student writing much more quickly than a person can. Writing tests can also cost (24) (little) to carry out by computer than paper-and-pencil. These computer systems ,known as e-readers, use artificial (人工的) intelligence to think in a way

(25) teachers. For two years, both a computer and humans graded the student writing. Officials say there was almost no difference between the computer grades and (26)given by the human readers.

The entrance test commonly (27)(use) by business schools, the GMAT, already uses e-readers. The GRE and TOEFL tests might start; officials are deciding.

Systems (28)(use) to grade writing in college classes as well. The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans. Then the systems compare new writings against those already examined.

Some teachers say machines can never do the job as well as people can. A computer can find spelling and grammar mistakes. But these teachers say it can never really understand (29)

a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea.

But inventors of the programs say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way. They also say the systems (30) (mean) to judge knowledge more than creativity.

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a(an) 31.__________ position in the history of human knowledge. We don’t know what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must extremely ancient. This is 32.__________ . Plants are the basis of the food 33.__________ for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, eyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognized accurately hundreds of plants and know many 34.__________ of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of knowledge at all.

Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less 35.__________ our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes 36.__________ on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer 37.__________ the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them 38.__________ the marvel of agriculture; cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the 39.__________ production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the 40.__________ knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and close relationship with plants in the wild would begin fade away.

II . Reading

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Scientists in Norway have more good news for coffee drinkers. Researchers have already found evidence that the drink or the beans can help with weight loss, (41) one’s risk of developing s ome disease, promote muscle growth, protect against certain types of cancers, and can even reduce one’s risk of premature death, among many other (42).Now comes word that a cup of (43) reduces physical pain.

The surprising finding is (44) a study involving 48 volunteers who agreed to spend 90 minutes performing fake computer tasks meant to finish office work. The tasks were known to (45) pain in the shoulders, neck, forearms and wrists. The researchers wanted to (46)how people with pain and those who were pain-free tolerated the tasks. As a matter of convenience, the scientists allowed people to drink coffee before taking the test “to avoid (47) effects of caffeine deprivation, e.g. decreased vigor and alertness, sleepiness, and fatigue,” they reported.

But when it came time to analyze the da ta, the researchers from Norway’s National Institute of Occupational Health and Oslo University Hospital noticed that the 19 people who drank coffee reported a lower (48) of pain than the 29 people who didn’t. In the shoulders and neck, (49) , the average pain was rated 41 (on a 100-point scale) among the coffee drinkers and 55 for the no coffee drinkers. Similar gaps were found for all pain sites measured, and coffee's apparent pain-reduction effect (50).

The authors of the study, which was published this week in the journal BMC Research Notes, warn that the results of the study come with many (51). For starters, the researchers don’t know how much coffee the coffee-drinkers drank before taking the computer tests. (52) , they doubt that the coffee drinkers and abstainers were (53) in all respects except for their coffee consumption. Problems like these tend to (54) the importance of the findings. But those doubt are (55) to trouble the coffee drinkers looking for any reason not to cut back on their daily caffeine habit.

Section B

Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the Judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking．

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, "Just don’t tell my mother."

" It happened over three years ago," Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. "Just don’t tell my mother," said Fee numbly. "And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!"

Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. "Fee, pack your things. We’ll go to see him."

She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. "I can’t go," she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. "It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secr et. What good will it do him to see us?"

Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank look it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.

So he said, "We ll, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?"

There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks." Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he k nows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know."

56. Paddy cried because he thought ______．

A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

B．Frank should have told Fee what had happened

C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee

D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character

57. The underlined sentence "She half-rose before sinking back…" in Paragraph 6 shows that .

A．Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up

B．Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank

C．Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank

D．Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish

58. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentenc e of Life Imprisonment.

B. The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.

C. The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.

D. Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pr ide.

59. What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?

A. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.

B. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.

C. Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.

D. Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.

(C)

The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing—Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for$13.5bn，but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service，which doesn’t have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detail ed web of its users’ friendships and social lives．

Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities，but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through．Even without knowing what was in the messages，the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be．What political journalist，what party whip，would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May’s enemies are currently plotting? It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops it owns, but the records of which customers have purchased what.

Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power．But it is clumsy. For one thing, it

is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power．But there is a deeper conceptual problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them．The users of their services are not their customers．That would be the people who buy advertising from them—and Facebook and Google，the two virtual giants，dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies．The product they’re selling is data，and we，the users，convert our lives to data for the benefit of the digital giants. Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed, so Google farms us for the data that our digital lives yield．Ants keep predatory insects away from where their aphids feed; Gmail keeps the spamm ers out of our inboxes. It doesn’t feel like a human or democratic relationship，even if both sides benefit．

63. According to Paragraph 1, Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its____ .

A . digital products

https://www.360docs.net/doc/0911833200.html,er information

C.physical assets

D.quality service

64. Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities may____ .

A. worsen political disputes

B. mess up customer records

C. pose a risk to Facebook users

D. mislead the European commission

65. Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because____ .

A. they are not defined as customers

B. they are not financially reliable

C. the services are generally digital

D. the services are paid for by advertisers

66. The author use the metaphor of the ants in the last paragraph to illustrate____ .

A. a win-win business model between digital giants

B. a typical competition pattern among digital giants

C. the benefits provided for digital giants ’customers

D. the relationship between digital giants and their users

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A.You might wonder what one conscious portion of rice could do for your whole body.

B.Americans are lucky to be exposed to lower levels of arsenic.

C.This poisonous element is in a wide range of food---including fruits, vegetables and grains.

D.Until more studies are done, curb your consumption of arsenic.

E.Brown rice appears to be the most effective whole grain for the healthy growth of human beings, but its darker color can easily absorb too much arsenic.

F.Brown rice tends to have more arsenic because the metal concentrates in the outer layers, which are burnished off in white rice.

We Americans ingest an average of 25 pounds of rice a year---and a portion of that comes from drinking beer. Yes, rice is a sample in our diet. But is it a safe one ? Consumer Reports recently found “troubling” levels of inorganic arsenic, a known human carcinogen (a substance which can cause cancer), in almost every rice-containing food it tested. ________67________. But rice takes up arsenic from soil and water more readily than other grains do.

Health-conscious consumes rely on brown rice, which has even more arsenic. In the Consumer Reports test, a quarter cup of uncooked white rice had from 4 to 10 micrograms. Why the difference? ________68________.

What about rice cakes? They contained from 2 to 8 micrograms per serving, while hot and ready-to-eat rice cereals had 2 to 7 micrograms. These levels are at least five times higher than those found in other cereals, such as oatmeal.

Studies show that people exposed to large amounts of arsenic for many years are more likely to die of cancer. In Bangladesh, people who drank tap water that contained 50 to 149 micrograms of arsenic per liter for 20 or 30 years, for example, were 44 percent more likely to die of cancer. ________69________ (The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency limits the total amount of arsenic in drinking water to 10 micrograms per liter.) But our total risk is unclear. There isn’t enough data to set a limit on inorganic arsenic in food, says the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science.

The Bottom Line. ________70________ Consumer Reports recommends that adults eat no more than 1

1to 2

2

cups of cooked (brown or white) rice a week. And here is a way to lessen risk: Rinse your rice, cook it in six parts water to one part rice until it reaches eating texture, and then pour off the extra water. This can remove about half the arsenic. IV. Summary Writing

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The benefits of having a higher education are manifold（多样的）and range from financial to cultural and from common benefits to some unexpected surprises, below you will find a number of reasons which will help to serve as justification for a higher education.

For many high school students, it is hard to imagine what the long term benefits of a college education might be. College is demanding; the work seems challenging, and meeting all new people seems overwhelming. However, what most young people do not realize is that there is a high likelihood at college that you will find new friends with similar interests and values, You may find yourself developing new interests by getting along with those who have completely different life experiences. As opportunity to get to know your professors can also be counted one of the benefits of having a college education. These intellectuals can be counted on to welcome questions and discussion from students. Therefore, one of the key benefits of a college education is the social bonds created and developed during this unique time in a person’s life.

Besides, the fact that you’ll be building a career for the rest of your life is reason enough to make time for a college education. Indeed, a clear benefit of a college education is that not only will it give you time to better know your likes and dislikes before entering the labor force, it will also enhance the likelihood of a more successful career for you. Many young people are uncertain about a career path at the start of college. This is a time of exploration, and taking the time to explore a variety of college majors is time well spent.

One more justification for higher education could be that its best way to enhance yourself in an all-round way. Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay for your personal advancement, because perhaps more than anything else, what you do with that huge gray material between your ears will determine your future. You never know where your talent could reach. So higher education can provide you can with the chance to realize your personal value.

Therefore never undervalue the benefits of entering a higher education, which surely will bring you something beyond expectation.

58. 推断题。由Fee的话"It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?"可推知Frank自尊心很强，选D

59. 由第四段" It happened over three years ago," Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. "Just don’t tell m y mother," said Fee numbly. "And no one did! Oh, God!

63-66 BCDD

【解析】

63.细节题，较易判断，由What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users’ friendships and social lives．此句可得知选择B

64.细节题。根据题干关键词linking the phone number定位第二段第一句。该句提到Facebook向欧洲委员会承诺不会把用户的电话号与Facebook的身份认证连系到一起，但是协议通过之后Facebook立马失信。接下来提到“甚至都不清楚信息里面都有什么，也不知谁发的消息，发送的目的又是什么”。因此，可能会给用户造成风险。因此C项符合文意。

65.根据题目中的because 可确定为因果细节题。题干中的信息出现在第三段后半部分，是题目中的原词competition law as presently interpreted，而原因在其后面的句子。下文写到，the users of their services are not，读到这里的not，一定要找而是谁。继续读下一句，That woul d be the people who buy advertising from them…，与选项对应，可得出D答案。

66.本题定位到最后一段的第一句，The product …is data，and we…convert our lives to data…。此句中，data即digital giants，we 即users。因此答案为D the relationship between digital giants and their users.

67-70 CFBD

【解析】

67.设空前提到了最近有报告发现米中含有arsenic（砷），设空后又提到了But rice takes up arsenic from soil and water more readily than other grains do.这里可推出其他谷物中也含有砷，所以可得答案为C This poisonous element is in a wide range of food---including fruits, vegetables and grains.这里This poisonous element代指arsenic，而a wide range of food与other grains对应。

68.brown rice是这一段的关键词，根据词汇复现可把答案锁定在EF中；68设空前的句子Why the difference?所以这一句是要讲brown rice和white rice的不同，所以选择F，E选项只是单方面说明brown rice。

69.此空较易判断，前面例举了孟加拉国人喝自来水导致比其他人高44%死于癌症的例子，关注到设空后有but 做转折，所以答案为B Americans are lucky to be exposed to lower levels of arsenic.美国人很幸运，接触的砷含量很

低。（美国人与孟加拉国人作比较，低含量与后文的总风险形成转折）

70.总起句为The Bottom Line.底线，而后文又提及到一系列具体做法，所以在剩下答案里也很好判断为D，直到更多相关研究出来之前，控制你自身对于砷的消耗。

71.A higher education benefits one’s life in many aspects. Despite pre-college anxiety, you can establish valuable social relationships there, with friends or professors. Besides, higher education can better prepare you for a future career by exploring your interest and likelihood of success. Last but not least, higher education can lead to full personal development.
