Cloze 15%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.One in ten teenage girls harms herself each year according to the largest study of self-harm among teenagers in England.The problem is 51 more widespread than previously thought, say the researchers. They 52 that self-harming is so 53 that it is a "most pressing health issue for teenagers".In the survey of more than 6,000 pupils 54 15 and 16, girls were four times more likely to have engaged in self-harm than boys. Three percent of boys were harming themselves last year 55 with 11 percent of girls.Previous, 56 , estimates were based on the 25,000 youngsters who go to hospitals in England and Wales each year as a result of deliberate self-poisoning or self-injury.57 , research by the universities of Bath and Oxford __58__ that only 13 percent of self-harming 59 reported by pupils actually resulted in a hospital visit.Although self-poisoning is the most common form of self-harm reported in hospitals, 60 is the more prevalent form of self-harm followed by overdose, the research says.51. A. far B. wide C. many D. very52. A. declare B. claim C. speak D. talk53. A. ordinary B. usual C. common D. normal54. A. reported B. named C. called D. aged55. A. compared B. dealt C. contrasted D. related56. A. higher B. lower C. deeper D. farther57. A. Moreover B. Therefore C. However D. Besides58. A. hid B. invented C. established D. found59. A. incidents B. accidents C. examples D. activities60. A. sleeping B. cutting C. dying D. suffering(B)It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don't 61 them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too 62 and too strict with their children; and they seldom give their children a 63 hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when 64 .For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to 65 that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something 66 .When you want your parents to let you do something, you will be more 67 if you ask for their permission before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry at their 68 in clothes, in entertainment and music. But they do not mean to 69 ; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world, into which they have not yet been 70 . That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so 71 yourself that you do not want your parents to say "yes" to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is 72 enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were 73 under your parents' control.If you plan to control your 74 , you'd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of 75 , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.61. A. protect B. refuse C. understand D. guide62. A. serious B. kind C. considerate D. honest63. A. helpful B. free C. usual D. real64. A. angry B. busy C. tired D. young65. A. show B. reject C. complain D. deny66. A. uninterrupted B. unavoidable C. unexpected D. unrespectable67. A. dissatisfied B. successful C. uncomfortable D. energetic68. A. designs B. knowledge C. glance D. choices69. A. cause any trouble B. make funC. keep their wordsD. show respect70. A. separated B. protected C. respected D. accepted71. A. grateful to B. proud of C. strict with D. sorry about72. A. strange B. funny C. confusing D. natural73. A. completely B. occasionally C. relatively D. accidentally74. A. study B. life C. expense D. emotion75. A. beauty B. time C. responsibility D. leadershipⅣ. Reading Comprehension 20%Directions: Read the following 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)Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity maybe linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age."We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20--25 percent between 18 and 70 ears of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. 'This is part of the ageing process."What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells.A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.76. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to_______.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect77. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _________.A. women have more cells than men when they are bornB. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC. the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD. women never lose their pumping power with age78.We can know from the passage that _______.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20(B)When Paige Pipkin was twelve years old, she wanted to be a champion speller. She could already spell words that many others could not, but she knew that a real champion had to spell every word that he or she was asked. She studied many lists of words and learned all the rules for correct spelling.Paige Pipkin became such a good speller that she was able to win many contests - so many that she traveled to Washington, D. C. to compete in the national spelling contest that is held there each year. When finally there were only two spellers left, Paige learned how difficult it is to be the very best: she spelled her last word wrong. She was proud to be the second best speller in the United States, but she was sorry not to return home as a champion.This is not the end of the story. Paige, a very determined young lady, continued to compete in spelling contests. A year later, when she was thirteen, she again found herself competing in the nation's capital. This time her last word was sarcophagus. If she could spell that word, she would truly be the national champion.Slowly, nervously, but carefully, she said, "S-A-R-C-O-P-H-A-G-U-S." Moments later, she was given a large trophy , and she was indeed the champion speller of theUnited States. When a reporter asked Paige what she felt as she spelled her last word, she spelled her answer for him: "T-E-N-S-I-O-N ."79. The writer seems to think that Paige was able to win the national spelling contestbecause ________.A. she was young and had a good memoryB. she was determined andhardworkingC. she was lucky to remember her last wordD. she was an experienced speller80. According to this passage, we can see that ________.A. Paige had failed many times before she became the champion speller of theUnited StatesB. Paige had entered several national Spelling contests before she became thechampion spellerC. the national spelling contest held in Washington,D. C. was the first spellingcontest Paige took part inD. Paige had entered many other spelling contests before she first took part in thenational spelling contest81. How did Paige feel about the national spelling contest?A. She thought the contest was not too difficult to her.B. She thought it was not easy to win the contest.C. She never thought she would win the contest.D. She thought the contest was not very important.(C)(You may read the questions first．)Products：mail order82. In advertisement 2, the Traveler enables us to learn _______.A. the road conditions from London to OxfordB. all the garages along the chosen routeC. the time and speed of the journey in BritainD. the directions from London to Paris83. In advertisement 3, the Quizmaster_______.A. contains nothing but 5,400 questionsB. can only answer challenging questionsC. can be purchased in many shopsD. can be used by people of all ages84. These advertisements are presented to those _______.A. who like to order goods at homeB. who are going to travel abroadC. who do market researchesD. who are interested in intelligence tests(D)Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary time, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others' stare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert(转移) his gaze, his intentions are obvious: he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. As for the listener, he will, to a certain extent, look continuously at the speaker, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel upset. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eve is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to (局限于) lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to Show affection that words can not express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between people and the specific situation.85. When the writer says eyes can speak, he really means that________.A. eyes can really speak sometimesB. eyes can express meaning sometimesC. eyes can understand meaningD. eyes take part in some conversations86. According to the text, a teacher should look at students in class in orderto_______.A. find something wrong with the studentsB. make sure that students pay attentionC. show that he or she is very attentiveD. show the sign of honest communication87. The underlined sentence (Paragraph 6) means_______.A. a liar is always a poor thing and so he will be a victimB. inexperienced liars have a false idea and so are often exposedC. looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communicationD. liars often look at others straight in the eye to show honesty88. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. People often stare at others on buses.B. People don't like being looked at.C. Men always enjoy looking at women.D. Eye contact can attract attention.(E)HUNTSVILLE —The body of a 19-year-old Oakville man who lost his own lift to save his friend was pulled from the muddy waters of Clarke Lake near here yesterday. Sannjeev Michael Watson was last seen Sunday morning when he pushed his 17-year-old companion back into their overturned canoe, then disappeared after swimming off to get back the paddles（桨）. “His friend couldn’t swim that well, so my son saved him first and ended up giving his life,” said his mother Mona Watson. Her son, a strong swimmer, and his friend were heading out in thecanoe（独木舟）to watch the sun rise over the lake about 12 kilometers west of Huntsville when the canoe turned over. “It was still dark and foggy,” said Constable Harry Rawluk of the Huntsville detachment of the Provincial Police. “Neither man was wearing a life jacket and there were none in the canoe”, said Rawluk. Each ship or boat is required to be equipped with a life jacket for each occupant but they do not have to be worn at all times. When Watson disappeared, the friend used his hands to paddle 300 meters to the shore to get help. “His friend is extremely upset in mind. He keeps saying over and over, He gave his life to save me,” said Watson. “The incident helped to show the importance of life jackets,” said Rawluk, “We can’t emphasize enough how important it is for all boaters to wear life jackets even on a small lake like this one,” he said. Yesterday, the family, including his father and Michael’s two brothers, helped each other on the dock until OPP divers found the body about 2: 30p. m. There were other tragedies（悲剧）as two men drowned and two boaters went missing, Mike Walsh, 27, of Tweed, drowned about 6 a. m. Sunday while canoeing with a man and a woman on Stoco Lake, just north of Billeville, when the boat tipped over. “None of the occupants were wearing life jackets at the time and there was only one paddle aboard,” said Belleville OPP sergeant Paul Murray. Mattherw Salei, 22 of Toronto, is believed to have drowned after falling out of an outboard motor boat on Lake Huron near Port Franks the day before yesterday. A friend swam to shore. This afternoon Kyle Johnson, 19, drowned while camping near Kenora. The talented junior hockey player from Winnipeg was by himself when he slipped on some rocks, hit his head and drowned, police said. Meanwhile, an underwater search of Lake Scugog nesr Caesarea failed to find the body of a 17-year-old Stouffville youth who drowned early Saturday while canoeing with a friend. REPORTED BY ROBERT AVERY.89.Which of the following is the best title for the news story? A. Lack of life jackets blamed for tragedy. B. Courageous man drowns after saving his friend C. Police warns people of danger boating on lakes D. Body of drowned man found in Clarke lake90.According to Rawluk, if Michael _____, he wouldn’t have drowned.A. had not tried to get back the paddlesB. had not tried to save his friendC. had been a weaker swimmerD. had worn a life jacket91.Which of the following shows the right order of what happened in the story? a．Michael pushed his friend back into the canoe and swam to get back the paddles. b．Michael and his friend set off to the west of Huntsville. c．Michael’s body was found in the waters of Lake Clarke. d．The friend mandated to paddle to the shore. e．The canoe turned upside down.A. b, e, a, c, dB. c, d, a, e, bC. b, e, a, d, cD. d, c, a, e, b(F)Some scientists think the automobile is going to be useless. They say one day in the future all the autos will be thrown away and that we won't use them any more. Others, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change a lot over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in the urban traffic jam. One suggested solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable(可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway; the driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that such ahighway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.92. What provides auto with electric power in the automated highway system?A. A retractable armB. An engineC. A railD. a computer controller93. After putting in the information concerned, all the driver needs to do is to________.A. keep in the right laneB. inform the system of his destination by phoneC. keep in constant touch with the computer centerD. wait to arrive at his destination94. What is the author's main concern?A. How to make automobiles pollution-free.B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D. How to develop a good subway system.95. One big improvement in the future car will probably be _________.A. its monitoring systemB. its driving speedC. its power sourceD. its seating capacity(G)A. Some concept related to newspapersB. Journalism and journalistC. News agenciesD. Technological development brings new life tonewspapersE. Various sections of a newspaperF. Persons who make a newspaper96. ________Whenever we talk about newspapers and publishing, we come across several concepts like reporter, editor and press conference (新闻发布会). What is journalism? What do news reporters do? Now it’s time for answers.97. _________Journalism is collecting, writing, editing, and presenting news through media such as newspapers, magazines, television, and radio. A person who practices this job is a journalist.98. ________Usually, reporters, editors, graphic designers (美术编辑) and photographers directly take part in the production of an issue (一期) of a newspaper. Everyone has their own responsibility. A reporter is to gather news and write the reports. He or she does interviews. Sometimes he or she attends press conferences. An editor is the one who reads and corrects the reporters’ articles and other materials before publication. The graphic designer presents how the newspaper looks. The designer combines images and words in an artful way with computer software. To produce a specific。

一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Garbage sorting has become a hot issue around China, especially after Shanghai began carrying out a regulation on July 1.Beijing, as a forerunner in environmental protection, has thus been expected to follow suit. The capital of the country has long been campaigning for sorting and recycling household waste, as part of its environmental drive for sustainable growth, local media reported.The current regulation gives garbage sorting responsibilities to government departments, property management groups and other organizations. It also gives rules for companies, outlining how they're responsible for waste collection, transportation and treatment. Only individuals are not subject to responsibilities.The long-awaited revision will soon change the situation, "Taking out the trash without sorting it properly will be illegal," said Sun Xinjun, director of the Beijing Commission of Urban Management. In Shanghai, violators are now fined up to 200 yuan ($30)for trash-sorting violations. The maximum fine in Beijing will not be less than that, he said.The Beijing city government first set out to promote garbage sorting in 2009. Authorities have since called on citizens to sort their household waste into four types-recyclable waste, kitchen trash, dangerous waste and others-and leave it in a corresponding dustbin or trash can. Blue-colored dustbins signify items within are recyclable, green represents kitchen trash, red corresponds to dangerous materials and grey to other waste.To promote the awareness of garbage sorting and expand the base of participants, authorities have employed workers to help residents on the spot. With intelligent devices, those who throw in recyclable waste at given sites will be rewarded with bonus points, which can be used to buy daily goods. At some communities, there are no color-coded dustbins. Instead, a scheduled garbage collection service is offered to help improve the environment. In other communities, workers offer a door-to-door service to collect recyclables or kitchen waste.Beijing Environmental Sanitation Engineering Group has been promoting new garbage sorting facilities such as recycling cabinets and smart kitchen waste trash cans since 2016, Xinhua News Agency reported. Nearly 26,000 metric tons of household waste is generated across Beijing on a daily basis and 29 terminal garbage disposal facilities are working at full capacity. Nearly 9.3 million tons of household waste was processed in the city last year.（1）According to the passage, which dustbins should some used coke cans be thrown into?A. Grey-colored dustbins.B. Red-colored dustbins.C. Green-colored dustbins.D. Blue-colored dustbins.（2）We can learn from the passage that ________.A. new technology has been applied to help deal with garbageB. Beijing carried out a more severe rule on garbage sorting than ShanghaiC. the change of the current regulation has aroused objection among citizensD. the amount of household waste in Beijing is far from something disturbing（3）What is the best title for the text?A.How to Sort Garbage in ChinaB.The Current Regulation in BeijingC.Garbage Collection in BeijingD.Waste Recycling Project Counts（4）The passage can be sorted as ________.A.a book reviewB.a travel brochureC.an environment reportD.a geography essay【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了垃圾分类在北京的实施情况。

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your w ork you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak, For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语)as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.86. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening87. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _____.A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier than usualD. go to bed earlier88. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day89. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D. Children have energy cycles, too.(C)In many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black children's extraordinary talents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level.Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions （暂被停学）．A Black public school student is suspended every four seconds. Black students are more than twice as likely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out. So I applaud the U．S. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action to address harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the teenager justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle(摇篮) to college, career and success pipeline,we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses.These resources, officially known as "guidance," will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago.While the guidance does not prohibit schools or districts from using any particular nondiscriminatory policy, it does doubt some policies that have historically excluded Black students and are of questionable educational value including "zero tolerance" discipline policies which require compulsory consequences for certain infractions（违反），and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence.Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the country. Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior, whether consequences are clear, appropriate and consistent, and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline.90. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. Unsatisfactory situation of Black students’ education.B. Life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.C. The percentage of Black students dropping out of school.D. The holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.91. The guidance issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice may________.A. punish Black children for dropping out of school.B. prevent Black children from coming back to school after a court sentence.C. push thousands of Black children out of school each year.D. protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses.92. According to the passage, the "zero tolerance" discipline policies________.A. prevent Black children from being absent from school.B. are prohibited by the guidance.C. have questionable consequences.D. were considered discriminatory when they were released.93. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Criticism of the Education SystemB. Steps Forward on School DisciplineC. Suggestions on the Civil Rights ActD. Victories in the Civil Rights Movement(D)One hundred years ago, "Colored" was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent. Twenty years later, it was purposefully dropped to make way for "Negro." By the late 1960s, that term was overtaken by "Black." And then, at a press conference in Chicago in 1988, Jesse Jackson declared that "African American" was the term to embrace. This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups, such as "Italian Americans" and "Irish Americans," that had already been freed of widespread discrimination.A century’s worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise. A 2001 study cataloged all the ways in which the term "Black" carried connotations (涵义) that were more negative than those of "African American."But if it was known that "Black" people were viewed differently from "African Americans," researchers, until now, hadn’t identified what that gap in perception was derived from. A recent study, conducted by Emory University’s Erika Hall, found that "Black" people are viewed more negatively than "African Americans" because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status. As a result, "Black" people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities.The study’s most striking findings shed light on the racial biases permeatingthe professional world. Even seemingly harmless details on a resume, it appears, can tap into recruiters’ biases. A job application might mention affiliations with groups such as the "Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers" or the "National Black Employees Association," the names of which apparently have consequences, and are also beyond their members’ control.In one of the study’s experiments, subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams. To one group, he was identified as "African-American," and another was told he was "Black." With little else to go on, they were asked to estimate Mr. William’s salary, professional standing, and educational background.The "African-American" group estimated that he earned about $ 37 000 a year and had a two-year college degree. The "Black" group, on the other hand, put his salary at about $ 29 000, and guessed that he had only "some" college experience. Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr. Williams worked at a managerial level, while only 38.5 percent of the second group thought so.Hall’s findings suggest there’s an argument to be made for electing to use "African American," though one can’t help but get the sense that it’s a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress. Perhaps a new phrase is needed, one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois’s original, idealistic hope: “It’s not the name-it’s the Thing that counts.”94. Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term "African American" for people of African descent?A. It is free from racial biases.B. It represents social progress.C. It is in the interest of common Americans.D. It follows the standard naming practice.95. What does the author say about the naming of an ethnic group?A. It advances with the times.B. It is based on racial roots.C. It merits intensive study.D. It is politically sensitive.96. What do Erika Hall’s findings indicate?A. Racial biases are widespread in the professional world.B. Many applicants don't attend to details on their resumes.C. Job seekers should all be careful about their affiliations.D. Most recruiters are unable to control their racial biases.97. What does Erika Hall find in her experiment about a man with the last name Williams?A. African Americans fare better than many other ethnic groups.B. Black people's socioeconomic status in America remains low.C. People's conception of a person has much to do with the way he or she is labeled.D. One's professional standing and income are related to their educational background.98. What is Dr. Du Bois's ideal?A. All Americans enjoy equal rights.B. A person is judged by their worth.C. A new term is created to address African Americans.D. All ethnic groups share the nation's continued progress.第II卷(52’)Section ADirections: Fill in the sentences with the proper form of the given verbs.1.My cousin went to Australia three years ago.

III. Reading Comprehension 39%Section AMen have always fought a losing battle against losing their hair.Every night before bed, Patrick Fox spends an hour standing on his 50 . "Hair loss is caused by poor circulation at the top of the head," he explains, trying to keep his 51 . "This way, I keep the blood up in my head, and this should help 52 my hair loss, and maybe even reverse it."Don't 53 Patrick, but he could stand on his head all day long and it wouldn't make any 54 at all. Fear of hair loss has 55 men throughout history: Julius Caesar drank mixtures made from horses' teeth, burnt mice and deer bone to stave off baldness; Napoleon grew his hair long in the back and combed it forward. These days, hair loss treatments are a billion dollar 56 but, as Patrick will discover, few if any of the products or cures on offer have any 57 . One of the 58 is that there are so many myths about what causes hair loss. Washing your hair every day won't make your hair fall out, and neither will wearing hats. Brushing your hair might 59 your hair, but it won't make you bald. And cutting your hair short will make your hair look thicker, but it won't make it grow back. Patrick's girlfriend, Stephanie, has trouble 60 his problem. "He's so obsessed with his hair," she says. "I keep 61 him to shave it all off and get it over with." But Stephanie might be a little more 62 if her own hair starts falling out.

"How can we allow a drunk to work who might run somebody over?"(Reporting by Marco Aquino; Writing by Terry Wade; Editing by Dana Ford)65. The underlined word intoxicated in this passage most probably meansA. drunkB. nervousC. frightenedD. careless66. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Celso Becerra, the administrative chief of Chorrillos, was strongly against the new rule.B. The government thought little of the new rule.C. The Constitutional Tribunal gave the judge that Cayo should get back his job.D. Fernando Calle, one of the justices, was firmly on the side of the government.67. This passage is, as we can judge, from a ________.A. magazineB. news reportC. government reportD. a court announcementconcerned _______.A. in the morningB. in the afternoonC. in the eveningD. in the daytime69. At weekend after 7:30 p. m light rail service will be ________.A. as frequent as usualB. more frequent than usualC. less frequent than usualD. stopped70. Going to Whisman Road, you’ll have to take a ______ before ______.A. Line 34; 6 p. mB. Line 34; midday hoursC. Line35; 10p. mD. Line35; 7 p.m71. The whole table above shows us ________.A. there have appeared some new traffic serviceB. changes for some certain traffic serviceC. buses of Line 86 has been canceledD. light rail is very different from buses(C)The use of the word imitation reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime or violence.First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous. For example, I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were in the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree; fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hung. I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting his guard, the technique of doing this being shown in detail. This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen any details of criminal techniques, such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe; if we were consulted before production, I used to advise that the details should not be shown. When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this, since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954. This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler’s shop, the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed only by natural sound.., one of the most brilliant film sequences of all time. I remember our discussions at the time. We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believed therefore that it was relatively safe. When talking in prisons some years rater I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied, so perhaps we were wrong.72. The writer thinks that _______.A. the details of the criminal technique should be keptB. the details of the crime should not be shown on the screenC. children should not imitate what they saw on the screenD. it was dangerous to imitate what they had seen on the screen73. What was the writer's attitude towards the film in which the hero had escaped by electrocuting the guard?A. The writer kept the same opinion.B. The writer was strongly against it.C. The writer thought the film had some value.D. The writer did not show his/her attitude.74. All the following statements about “Rififi” are true EXCEPT _____.A. that the robbery shown needs experience and skillsB. that some very good tools were used in the robberyC. that the film showed the technique in detailD. that the technique of the robbery was not imitated75. It can be inferred from the passage thatA. it is hard for the children to tell the differences between real life and the imaginaryB. only the people in prison supported film checkingC. only children imitated what they had seen on the screenD. the writer used to advise the details of crime should be shown(E)Section DClothes play a critical role in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer's background, personality, status, mood and social outlook.Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people's impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person's education, background, or interests.People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfit, including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine" and "feminine" attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" shorter hair, moderate use of make- up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won't get a job."(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS)81. What do clothes tell us about the wearer?82. Why are newsreaders more convincing, honest and competent?83. The reason why college students are concerned about their costumes is _____in their interpersonal relationships.84. The word "precedent" (Pare. 4) probably refers to early examples ______.IV.

John Franklin left England with 134 men to look for a route through the Arctic.Franklin’s ship had everything they needed. They had enough food in tins for three years and thousands of liters of lemon juice to stop disease. They also had two libraries with 3000 books, e xcellent maps, scientific instruments, musical instruments and a new invention----a camera.Franklin and his men left England on May 19th, 1845 and they sailed without problems across the Alantic towards Canada. Wh en Flanklin arrived at Baffin Bay in July 1845, things were going very well for the expedition. On July 26th, some sailors saw Fla nklin’s ships wehn thery were entering the bay. That was the la st time that anyone saw Franklin and his men alive.The British government became very worried when they heard nothing from Franklin. They sent expedition to look for, but the expedition all returned withourt any news. The government offer ed 20000 pounds to anybody who could help Franklin or anybo dy who had information about Franklin. Nobody came with infor mationThen, in August 1850 some sailors found the first signs of the F ranklin Expedition while they were searching on Devon Island: s ome old food tins, some papers, and, something very strange, t he graves of three men.

Some go camping. Ot hers like to stay at a hotel in an exciting city. They go shopping all day and go dancing all night. Or maybe they go sightseeing t o places such as Disneyland, the Tai Mahan or the Louver.Some people are bored with sightseeing trips. They don’t want to be “tourist”. They want to have an adventure-----a surprising and exciting trip. They want to learn something and maybe help people too. How can they do this? Some travel co mpanies and environmental groups are planning special advent ures. Sometimes these trips are diffilcult and full of hardships,b ut they are a lot of fun. One organization, Earth Watch, sends s mall groups of volunteers to different parts of the world.Would you like an adventure in the Far North? A team of volun teers is leaving from Mormons, Russia. The leader of this trip is a professor from Alaska. He is worried about chemicals from fa ctories. He and the volunteers will study this pollution in the env ironment. If you like exercise and cold weather, this is a good tri p for you.Do you enjoy ocean animals? You can spend two to four week s in Hawaii. There, you can teach language to dolphins. Dolphin s can follow orders such as “ Bring me the large ball”. They also understand opposites.Are you interested in history? Then Greece is the place for yo ur adventure. Thirty-five hundred years ago a volcano exploded there,on Santorum. This explosion was more terrible than Karate or Mount Saint He lens. But today we know a lot about the way of life of the people from that time. There are houses ,kitchens, and paitings as inte resting as those in Pompeii. Today teams of volunteers are lear ning more about people from the past.Do you want a very different vacation? Do you want to travel f ar, work hard and learn a lot? Then an Earth Watch vacation is for you.66. What does “ the Louver” in the first paragraph refer to?A. A shopping centerB. A place of interestC. A dancing ball D. A hotel67. From the passage, people who are on an adventure trip ma y_________.A. meet some difficulties or hardshipsB. like sightseeing trips v ery muchC. meet nothing that is funD. have a boring trip68. If you would like to do some exercise and are not afraid of c old weather, you can ___________.A. join the team of HawaiiB. join the team to GreeceB. join the team to Mount Saint Helens D. join the team to the F ar North69.

Earth Watch cares nothing about environmentC. The leader of the Far North is from KarateD. If you want to learn about history, you should go to Greece DCity traffic is a great problem. More cars are produced every year and the streets are getting more and more crowded. So durin g the rush hours, when people are going to or from their work, t hey might be caught in it. It has been suggested that people sh ould share their cars and give each other lifts. So each car woul d carry four or five people instead of only one. It is a good idea, however. So far nobody has been able to think of a way to mak e people do so.When you park at a mete（停车计时器）, you must put a coin in the meter. This pays for a certain a mount of time. The meter records this and it shows the time that you have paid for is finished. If time is up and your car is still th ere then, you have to pay as a punishment..Traffic wardens（监察员） look after the meters. They walk around the streets and ch eck that every meter shows that money has been paid for the c ar parked there. If a meter shows” TIME IS UP”, the motorist wh o has left his car there will get punished. Of course, the traffice warden cannot wait for the owner of the car to return. He carrie s a pile of paper, and on one of these he writes down all the det ails, such as the number of the car, where it is parked, how muc h the driver must pay and where he must send the money. He l eaves this form on the car where the driver will be able to see it easily. When the driver comes back, he gets an unpleasant surprise, but it is his own mistake to park his car too long at a parki ng meter.71. “Rush hours” in the first paragraph means the time_______A. when there is so much moise in the streetsB. when there are many cars parking in the streetsC. when there are many people going to or from workD. when there are many people going shopping72. If a meter shows “TIME IS UP”, who will get punished?A. The person who has left the car thereB. The traffic wardens who look after the metersC. The person who leaves his form on the carD. The person who is going to work73. From the passage, we can know that the best way to solve t he traffic problem is _________A. to share cars with other people or to offer a liftB. to produce more and more carsC. to punish the drivers breaking the lawD. to wait for the drivers to punish them in time74. Traffic wardens_____________.A. always wait for the owners of the cars to punish themB. leave the forms to the drivers where it is easy for them to findC. usually get the money as a punishment at onceD. always shows people an unpleasant surprise75. What can be the best title for this passage?A. The Crowded TrafficB. The Traffic PunishmentC. The TrafficD.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.One in ten teenage girls harms herself each year according to the largest study of self-harm among teenagers in England.The problem is 51 more widespread than previously thought, say the researchers. They 52 that self-harming is so 53 that it is a "most pressing health issue for teenagers".In the survey of more than 6,000 pupils 54 15 and 16, girls were four times more likely to have engaged in self-harm than boys. Three percent of boys were harming themselves last year 55 with 11 percent of girls.Previous, 56 , estimates were based on the 25,000 youngsters who go to hospitals in England and Wales each year as a result of deliberate self-poisoning or self-injury.57 , research by the universities of Bath and Oxford __58__ that only 13 percent of self-harming 59 reported by pupils actually resulted in a hospital visit.Although self-poisoning is the most common form of self-harm reported in hospitals, 60 is the more prevalent form of self-harm followed by overdose, the research says.51.

They say that their parents don't 61 them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too 62 and too strict with their children; and they seldom give their children a 63 hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when 64 .For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to 65 that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something 66 .When you want your parents to let you do something, you will be more 67 if you ask for their permission before you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry at their 68 in clothes, inentertainment and music. But they do not mean to 69 ; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world, into which they have not yet been 70 . That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own. And if their parents do not like music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so 71 yourself that you do not want your parents to say "yes" to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is 72 enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were 73 under your parents' control.If you plan to control your 74 , you'd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of 75 , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.61. A. protect B. refuse C. understand D. guide62. A. serious B. kind C. considerate D. honest63. A. helpful B. free C. usual D. real64. A. angry B. busy C. tired D. young65. A. show B. reject C. complain D. deny66.

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)Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity maybe linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age."We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20--25 percent between 18 and70 ears of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK."Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. 'This is part of the ageing process."What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink. They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.76. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to _______.A. healthB. long lifeC. ageingD. effect77. According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _________.A. women have more cells than men when they are bornB. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatC. the female heart loses few of the cells with ageD. women never lose their pumping power with age78.We can know from the passage that _______.A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outB. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsC. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossD. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20(B)When Paige Pipkin was twelve years old, she wanted to be a champion speller. She could already spell words that many others could not, but she knew that a real champion had to spell every word that he or she was asked. She studied many lists of words and learned all the rules for correct spelling.Paige Pipkin became such a good speller that she was able to win many contests - so many that she traveled to Washington, D. C. to compete in the national spelling contest that is held there each year. When finally there were only two spellers left, Paige learned how difficult it is to be the very best: she spelled her last word wrong. She was proud to be the second best speller in the United States, but she was sorry not to return home as a champion.This is not the end of the story. Paige, a very determined young lady, continued tocompete in spelling contests. A year later, when she was thirteen, she again found herself competing in the nation's capital. This time her last word was sarcophagus. If she could spell that word, she would truly be the national champion.Slowly, nervously, but carefully, she said, "S-A-R-C-O-P-H-A-G-U-S." Moments later, she was given a large trophy , and she was indeed the champion speller of the United States. When a reporter asked Paige what she felt as she spelled her last word, she spelled her answer for him: "T-E-N-S-I-O-N ."79. The writer seems to think that Paige was able to win the national spelling contestbecause ________.A. she was young and had a good memoryB. she was determined and hardworkingC. she was lucky to remember her last wordD. she was an experienced speller80. According to this passage, we can see that ________.A. Paige had failed many times before she became the champion speller of the United StatesB. Paige had entered several national Spelling contests before she became the championspellerC. the national spelling contest held in Washington,D. C. was the first spelling contestPaige took part inD. Paige had entered many other spelling contests before she first took part in thenational spelling contest81. How did Paige feel about the national spelling contest?A. She thought the contest was not too difficult to her.B. She thought it was not easy to win the contest.C. She never thought she would win the contest.D. She thought the contest was not very important.(C)(You may read the questions first．)Products：mail order82. In advertisement 2, the Traveler enables us to learn _______.A. the road conditions from London to OxfordB. all the garages along the chosen routeC. the time and speed of the journey in BritainD. the directions from London to Paris83. In advertisement 3, the Quizmaster_______.A. contains nothing but 5,400 questionsB. can only answer challenging questionsC. can be purchased in many shopsD. can be used by people of all ages84. These advertisements are presented to those _______.A. who like to order goods at homeB. who are going to travel abroadC. who do market researchesD. who are interested in intelligence tests(D)Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.Do you have such kind of experience? On a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary time, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others' stare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert(转移) his gaze, his intentions are obvious: he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. As for the listener, he will, to a certain extent, look continuously at the speaker, to tell him that he is attentive.If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel upset. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eve is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to (局限于) lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to Show affection that words can not express.Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between people and the specific situation.85. When the writer says eyes can speak, he really means that________.A. eyes can really speak sometimesB. eyes can express meaning sometimesC. eyes can understand meaningD. eyes take part in some conversations86. According to the text, a teacher should look at students in class in order to_______.A. find something wrong with the studentsB. make sure that students pay attentionC. show that he or she is very attentiveD. show the sign of honest communication87. The underlined sentence (Paragraph 6) means_______.A. a liar is always a poor thing and so he will be a victimB. inexperienced liars have a false idea and so are often exposedC. looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communicationD. liars often look at others straight in the eye to show honesty88. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. People often stare at others on buses.B. People don't like being looked at.C. Men always enjoy looking at women.D. Eye contact can attract attention.(E)HUNTSVILLE —The body of a 19-year-old Oakville man who lost his own lift to save his friend was pulled from the muddy waters of Clarke Lake near here yesterday.Sannjeev Michael Watson was last seen Sunday morning when he pushed his 17-year-oldcompanion back into their overturned canoe, then disappeared after swimming off to get back the paddles（桨）.“His friend couldn’t swim that well, so my son saved him first and ended up giving his life,”said his mother Mona Watson.Her son, a strong swimmer, and his friend were heading out in the canoe（独木舟）to watch the sun rise over the lake about 12 kilometers west of Huntsville when the canoe turned over.“It was still dark and foggy,” said Constable Harry Rawluk of the Huntsville detachment of the Provincial Police.“Neither man was wearing a life jacket and there were none in the canoe”, said Rawluk.Each ship or boat is required to be equipped with a life jacket for each occupant but they do not have to be worn at all times.When Watson disappeared, the friend used his hands to paddle 300 meters to the shore to get help.“His friend is extremely upset in mind. He keeps saying over and over, He gave his life to save me,” said Watson.“The incident helped to show the importance of life jackets,”said Rawluk, “We can’t emphasize enough how important it is for all boaters to wear life jackets even on a small lake like this one,” he said.Yesterday, the family, including his father and Michael’s two brothers, helped each other on the dock until OPP divers found the body about 2: 30p. m.There were other tragedies（悲剧）as two men drowned and two boaters went missing, Mike Walsh, 27, of Tweed, drowned about 6 a. m. Sunday while canoeing with a man and a woman on Stoco Lake, just north of Billeville, when the boat tipped over.“None of the occupants were wearing life jackets at the time and there was only one paddle aboard,” said Belleville OPP sergeant Paul Murray.Mattherw Salei, 22 of Toronto, is believed to have drowned after falling out of an outboard motor boat on Lake Huron near Port Franks the day before yesterday. A friend swam to shore.This afternoon Kyle Johnson, 19, drowned while camping near Kenora. The talented junior hockey player from Winnipeg was by himself when he slipped on some rocks, hit his head and drowned, police said.Meanwhile, an underwater search of Lake Scugog nesr Caesarea failed to find the body of a 17-year-old Stouffville youth who drowned early Saturday while canoeing with a friend.REPORTED BY ROBERT AVERY.89.Which of the following is the best title for the news story?A.

They say one day in the future all the autos will be thrown away and that we won't use them any more. Others, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change a lot over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in the urban traffic jam. One suggested solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable(可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway; the driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that such a highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.92. What provides auto with electric power in the automated highway system?A. A retractable armB. An engineC. A railD. a computer controller93. After putting in the information concerned, all the driver needs to do is to ________.A. keep in the right laneB. inform the system of his destination by phoneC. keep in constant touch with the computer centerD. wait to arrive at his destination94. What is the author's main concern?A. How to make automobiles pollution-free.B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D. How to develop a good subway system.95. One big improvement in the future car will probably be _________.A. its monitoring systemB. its driving speedC. its power sourceD. its seating capacityWhenever we talk about newspapers and publishing, we come across several concepts like reporter, editor and press conference (新闻发布会). What is journalism? What do news reportersdo? Now it’s time for answers.97. _________Journalism is collecting, writing, editing, and presenting news through media such as newspapers, magazines, television, and radio. A person who practices this job is a journalist. 98. ________Usually, reporters, editors, graphic designers (美术编辑) and photographers directly take part in the production of an issue (一期) of a newspaper. Everyone has their own responsibility. Areporter is to gather news and write the reports. He or she does interviews. Sometimes he or she attends press conferences. An editor is the one who reads and corrects the reporters’ articles and other materials before publication. The graphic designer presents how the newspaper looks. The designer combines images and words in an artful way with computer software. To produce a specific effect, the designer’s ideas and co mputer skills are very important. What about those vivid pictures that go with the dramatic stories? It’s the job of the photographer, who takespictures. Some newspapers have columnists (专栏作家). A columnist is a writer. His or herwriting appears regularly in the paper under a certain column.99. _______The news agency (通讯社) is an organization that gathers and distributes (传播) news. It hastop reporters and photographers, and it sells photographs, news analyses, and special features (专题报道) to newspapers worldwide. Reuters in England, Associated Press (AP) in the U.S.,Agence France-Presse (AFP) in France and the Xinhua News Agency in China are some of the great news agencies.100._______Technological development has had great effects on the production of news and newspapers. Since the invention of the telegraph, news agencies have been able to gather news and sell services globally at great speed. Today the data is transmitted even faster by telephone or satellite service.V. Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words or phrases in the box.

But there is one game at which expert human players continue to dominate machines: Go( 围棋 ). But researchers at Google DeepMind announced today that they ’ ve created a sophisticated artificial intelligence program that has beaten a Go ch ampion for the first time in history.To understand what the DeepMind researchers did to create such an impressive program you first have to appreciate why Go is such a difficult game for computers. First, Go has a ridiculous number of possible moves and outcomes—according to the researchers, there are more possible positions in Go than the number of atoms in the universe.The reason why computer had a hard time with Go, explains Jonathan Schaeffer, a computer scientist, is that Go players need a large pool of knowledge—past experiences with the game—to draw from.“ In chess a computer can follow preprogrammed rules, but it is not workable for Go, because the game is largely about patterns rather than a set of logical rules that can be written down.The DeepMind team ’system addresses both the massive search and lack of knowledgeproblems. In a newly-published study, they describe combining a search technique and deeplearning to overcome these obstacles.To solve the knowledge problem, the researchers used “ deepneural networks”two—13-layer-deep networks that consist of millions of connections and trained them with two methods:For one network, they showed the computer more than 30 million moves from games played byhuman experts to help the system learn how the best players win; and for both, the researchers hadthe computer play thousands of games with itself to discover new strategies and learn the gameon its own. These two training strategies allowed the computer to recognize patterns in the gameand identify what moves gave it the best chance of winning.For the search problem, the researchers exploited the Monte Carlo Tree Search Technique,which allows the system to use statistics to determine the best move, rather than play out everypossible outcome. The search technique used by the DeepMind team is not new. What makesDeepMind ’ s AlphaGo so advanced is the way they put together all the tools, along with the highperformance of the deep neural networks.“ The main novelty is in how they ese ’ ve combined th different ingredients together— they ’ veinnovated in doing that,”says Yoshua, a computerscientist.Now AlphaGo has an immediate problem: how to beat the world’ s best Go player, Lee Sedol.This March the two will play each other in Seoul, South Korea. And although AlphaGo playedwell against Fan Hui, Schaeffer still predict Sedol will win the match.“ But I think the pro wil shocked at how strong the program is,”Forhenow,saysat. least some people are still placingtheir bets on humans.93.What did AlphaGo achieve for the first time in history according to the passage?A. A ridiculous quantity of results based on how it moves in one game.B. Winning almost all the games against other artificial intelligence program.C. Being the first Google product in Go game.D. Beating a human champion Go expert.94. The researchers made the AlphaGo so impressive a program by ________.A. using Monte Carlo Tree Search, though it’ s not a brand new approach to solving the issue.B. implementing a complicated deep-learning system for computer to identify the best move.C. figuring out how to help computer play out all moves and recognize the best possible。

As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to 46 convey emotion in a cross-cultural situation.The researchers studied cultural differences in the 47 of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western people and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of 48 faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral (中立的). They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made 49 more errors than did Westerners. “The cultu ral difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, 50 how cultural factors have differed in these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easternersand Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.Ⅲ.

The special phenomenon about birds pairs.B. The conflict of bird pairs.C. The cooperation of bird pairs.D. The piece of music for bird pairs.(C)The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s remarkable musical talent was apparent even before most children can sing a simple nursery rhyme. Wolfgang’s older sister Maria Anna (who the family called Nannerl) was learning the clavier, an early keyboard instrument, when her three-year-old brother took an interest in playing. As Nannerl later recalled, Wolfgang “often spen t much time at the clavier picking out thirds (三度音), which he was always striking, and his pleasure showed that it sounded good.” Their father Leopold, an assistant concertmaster at the Salzburg Court, recognized his children’s unique gifts and soon devote d himself to their musical education.Born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756, Wolfgang had composed his first original work by age five. Leopold planned to take Nannerl and Wolfgang on tour to play beforethe European courts. Their first venture was to nearby Munich where the children played for Maximillian III Joseph, elector of Bavaria. Leopold soon set his sights on the capital of the Hapsburg Empire, Vienna. On their way to Vienna, the family stopped in Linz, where Wolfgang gave his first public concert. By this time, Wolfgang was not only a skilled harpsichord player, but he had also mastered the violin. The audience at Linz was amazed by the six-year-old, and word of his genius soon traveled to Vienna. In a much attended concert, the Mozart children appeared at the Schonbrunn Palace on October 13, 1762. They completely attracted the emperor and empress.Following this success, Leopold received a lot of invitations for the children to play, for a fee. Leopold seized the opportunity and booked as many concerts as possible at courts throughout Europe. A concert could last three hours, and the children played at least two per a day. Today, Leopold might be considered the worst kind of stage parent, but at the time, it was not uncommon for prodigies to make extensive concert tours. Even so, it was an exhausting schedule for a child who was just past the age of needing an afternoon nap.73. A good title for this passage would be ________.A. Classical Music in the Eighteenth Century: An Overview.B. Stage Parents: A Historical Point of View.C. Mozart: The Early Life of a Musical Genius.D. Mozart: The Short Career of a Musical Genius.74.What was the consequence of Wolfgang’s first publicappearance?A. He attracted the emperor and empress of Hapsburg.B.

Kennedydelivered 20 January 1961We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe–the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship,support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.This much we pledge—and more…In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.77.What should friends and foes know?A.That the United States is powerful.B.That a new generation of Americans are responsible fortheir government.C.That the United States is governed by liberals.D.That the rights of man come from the hand of God.78.What is Kennedy’s promise to the world?A. To support liberty.B. To abolish all forms ofhuman poverty.C. To visit each country at least once.D. To support anyfriend.79.What should citizens of the world ask of America?A.How America can help them.B.If America plans to invade their country.C.What they can do for freedom.D.What they can do for America.80.Which of the following statement is NOT true according tothe passage?A.Human beings have the power to put an end to all formsof poverty.B.We should remember we are the first revolution.C.Our nation has always been committed to human rights.D. We should assure the survival and the success of liberty. Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-AB for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. Connect with Your AudienceB. Get Your Facts StraightC. Choose a Good TopicD. Be Prepared for MishapsE. Ask Proper QuestionsAB. Learn some Useful Tips on Presentation In order to present the best presentation and eliminate room for error, you need to keep in mind certain guidelines. Here are some of my ideas for presenting quality presentation that demand genuine attention from your listeners.Picking out a topic is the hard part, when it comes to choosing from a list of presentation subjects. It has to be interesting, impactful and unique; therefore it is crucial to choose something you care about rather than randomly selecting one. Ask yourself if it covers angles －is it informative? Will it keep my listeners hooked? Will it create an air of82.81.boredom? Will I be able to get all my facts and research done? Is it appealing to me, but not to them? There's nothing more annoying than having someone blabber on about a topic he/she hasn't done extensive research on. It is obvious from the way they speak, how monotonous their tones sound and how robotic their movement and gestures are. So don't be that someone. Take the effort to learn as much as you can. Make it matter to you, and remember how it can impact your listeners, and enlighten them on things they didn't know about at all.No one is perfect, and there are bound to be mistakes or circumstances that you didn’t count on and couldn’t avoid. You could stutter with a word, mix up slides, or forget some important sheets of your presentation and so on. Straighten up. Crack a minor joke in your defense. In other words improvise and don't beat yourself up about it or else your presentation will end in disaster. Don't let it ruin the rest of it, and finish the presentation as planned, so that people think more of how well it ended.The best thing about presenting a topic is eye contact. If you are able to say it by heart, and not by looking at a piece of paper, you will have mastered the most effective presentation83.84.85.technique. Memorize your lines, and points, and only glance at your notes occasionally if you think you may forget something. In the end, if you think that you are well prepared to answer questions, then by all means invite them.IV.

Each word can only be used once. Note thatfrom East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in 42 – and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀地) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners 43 their attention on the eyes.―We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,‖ Jack said. ―Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners fa vor the eyes and 44 the mouth.‖According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human 45 of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to 46 convey emotion in a cross-cultural situation.The researchers studied cultural differences in the 47 of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western people and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of 48 faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral (中立的). They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made 49 more errors than did Westerners. ―The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,‖ Jack said. ―Our data suggest that w hereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion,Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.‖In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, 50 how cultural factors have differed in these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.Ⅲ.

The piece of music for bird pairs.(C)The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s remarkable musical talent was apparent even before most children can sing a simple nursery rhyme. Wolfgang’s older sister Maria Anna (who the family called Nannerl) was learni ng the clavier, an early keyboard instrument, when her three-year-old brother took an interest in playing. As Nannerl later recalled, Wolfgang ―often spent much time at the clavier picking out thirds (三度音), which he was always striking, and his pleasure sh owed that it sounded good.‖ Their father Leopold, an assistant concertmaster at the Salzburg Court, recognized his children’s unique gifts and soon devoted himself to their musical education.Born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756, Wolfgang had composed his first original work by age five. Leopold planned to take Nannerl and Wolfgang on tour to play before the European courts. Their first venture was to nearby Munich where the children played for Maximillian III Joseph, elector of Bavaria. Leopold soon set his sights on the capital of the Hapsburg Empire, Vienna. On their way to Vienna, the family stopped in Linz, where Wolfgang gave his first public concert. By this time, Wolfgang was not only a skilled harpsichord player, but he had also mastered the violin. The audience at Linz was amazed by the six-year-old, and word of his genius soon traveled to Vienna. In a much attended concert, the Mozart children appeared at the Schonbrunn Palace on October 13, 1762. They completely attracted the emperor and empress.Following this success, Leopold received a lot of invitations for the children to play, for a fee. Leopold seized the opportunity and booked as many concerts as possible at courts throughout Europe. A concert could last three hours, and the children played at least two per a day. Today, Leopold might be considered the worst kind of stage parent, but at the time, it was not uncommon for prodigies to make extensive concert tours. Even so, it was an exhausting schedule for a child who was just past the age of needing an afternoon nap.73. A good title for this passage would be ________.A.

Kennedydelivered 20 January 1961We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe–the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.This much we pledge—and more…In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.77.What should friends and foes know?A.That the United States is powerful.B.That a new genera tion of Americans are responsible for their government.C.That the United States is governed by liberals.D.That the rights of man come from the hand of God.78.What is Kennedy’s promise t o the world?A. To support liberty.B. To abolish all forms of human poverty.C. To visit each country at least once.D. To support any friend.79. What should citizens of the world ask of America?A. How America can help them.B. If America plans to invade their country.C. What they can do for freedom.D. What they can do for America.80. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. Human beings have the power to put an end to all forms of poverty.B. We should remember we are the first revolution.C. Our nation has always been committed to human rights.D. We should assure the survival and the success of liberty.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-AB for each paragraph.
