My doctor has scolded me repeatedly for liking high-cholesterol snacks. But now, after 40 years of givingcholesterol such a rap, the scientific experts are reportedly ready to reverse (颠倒) th emselves. Suddenly, we’re going to be told that high-cholesterol foods are not bad for us after all.This isn’t the first time science reverses what it believes to be true, nor will it be the last. To optimists, the fluidity o f science’s conclusions is a g ood thing - prove that science is always correcting itself in light of the very latest information. But a modem society that looks increasingly to science for not just what to eat, but also how to behave and what to think? How can we trust an authority that often changes its mind in extreme ways?Science’s typical way isn’t limited to matters of nutrition. Go ahead and check it out for yourself by looking at the qualifiers used in the vast majority of honestly written science news articles. You’ll see that the stories are laced with weak words and phrases such as: some, in certain circumstances, probably, perhaps, may, could, tends, suggests, indicates, according to, is linked to, plays a role in. The grave problem I’ve observed over the years is that too of ten science and its reporters create the impression of certainty when none is proved. The cholesterol story is but one example of that make-believe certainty.How much should we be concerned about this? A great deal, I believe, given science’s great and gr owing influence on our lives. At the very least, each of us needs to -understand that the scientific worldview — impressive as it surely is —is built on shifting sands. As Einstein once observed, “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; asi ngle experiment can prove me wrong.”1、The underlined part “giving cholesterol such a rap” (in Para. 1) means the author .A．always promotes use of cholesterol B．sometimes stands for cholesterolC．avoids cholesterol generally D．eats cholesterol regularly2、In the eyes of the author, changes in scientific statements .A．are worrying B．are meaninglessC．are a good thing in a way D．are the major way to improve science3、According to the text, which of the following is NOT the word commonly used in scientific articles?A．Likely B．SurelyC．Seems D．Appears4、What can be concluded from the passage?A．Science can blind us.B．Science need be open to doubt.C．Science is not as important as thought.D．Science should be built on experiments.23．（8分）As families get ready to head back to school for the fall, parents are on a tight budget lo get all the rightsupplies purchased, paperwork filled out and physicals (体检) scheduled.

For both the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, organizers aim to make all of the gold, silver, and bronze medals out of used electronics. This strong message about how to make use of e-waste has gotten a lot of Japan involved.Starting in April 2017, the Japanese Olympic Committee began collecting old laptops, digital cameras, smartphones, and other abandoned electronics. The initiative(倡议）has achieved great success. Already, the quantity needed for bronze medals has been met, and they're in the homestretch for silver and gold medals, meaning the collection process can pack up at the end of March.When looking just at the number of cell phones collected, the amount of waste is shocking. In a period of about 18 months, a little over 5 million smartphones were collected thanks to cooperation with NTT DOCOMO. Japan's largest mobile phone operator allowed the public to turn in phones at their shops, which counted a lot in the project’s success.After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics underwent a smelting process to extract(提炼）all the gold, silver，and bronze elements. Thanks to this initiative, the worldwide struggle with e-waste will have a global platform. According to a study published by the United Nations University—44.7 million metric tons of e-waste were made in 2016. Only 20% of that was actually recycled. Unfortunately, this figure is set to rise significantly in the coming years, moving to 52.2 million metric tons by 2021. So while the Tokyo Olympics initiative might be just a drop in the bucket, it’s a good start in showing what the public can do if they're made more aware of the issue.1、What can be learnt about Tokyo Olympics initiative from the passage?A．E-waste in the world is increasing significantly.B．It is easy to get elements needed from the used electronics.C．Only producers of electronics participated in the project.D．NTT DOCOMO contributed to the success of the project.2、Which can best replace the underlined word “homestretch” in Paragraph 2?A．starting period B．collection effortC．final stage D．hard search3、What influence does the Tokyo Olympics initiative have?A．It offers an effective method to solve the problem of e-waste.B．It shows the power of advanced technology in daily life.C．It saves the expense spent in making all the medals.D．It encourages the public’s involvement in dealing with e-waste.4、What is the writer’s attit ude to the Tokyo Olympics initiative?A．Positive B．NegativeC．Ambiguous D．Indifferent第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）A noted American psychologist once remarked that childhood is a magical period in o ne’s life．Indeed it is, for during 1 one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in mental capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills．Each step 2 an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities．During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns 3 skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself independently．At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative．His ability to remember things also 4 at this stage．He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering．Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving．At school, particular in 5 classes, the child is especially creative．Given a piece of paper and some colored pencils, he draws a variety of 6 from his surroundings as well as from his 7 circle．It is not surprising to see a child draw a monster to represent an abusive father, and an angel to represent a loving and caring mother．As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the 8 of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates．He also learns to 9 with new life situations, including dates and part-time work．Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play; the more________ and less serious ones manage to take time out of their busy schedules of assignments, reports and tests and examinations to go with their friends on relaxation entertainment．1、A．adolescence B．adulthood C．childhood D．infancy2、A．signs B．presents C．prevents D．signals3、A．difficult B．simple C．useful D．helpful4、A．develops B．increases C．reduces D．strengthens5、A．music B．art C．chemistry D．biology6、A．pictures B．buildings C．reflections D．images7、A．family B．school C．teacher D．friend8、A．competence B．commitment C．complexity D．competition9、A．agree B．experiment C．withdraw D．concern10、A．practical B．cautious C．enthusiastic D．stubborn第二节（每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
