Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D.. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Philanthropy is a way that people and organizations show concern for others or work to improve the world. Approximately 72 percent of Americans donate to charity (慈善机构), and 51 percent do volunteer work. About 2 millions not-for-profit organizations and charities in the United States today receive this help.There are three types of philanthropists: individuals, foundations, and private corporations. Individuals give money or volunteer their time to support causes that are important to them. Foundations are organizations started by very wealthy individuals. Their “business” is not to make a profit but to give money aw ay to not-for-profits. Private corporations may also use a portion of their business profits to make donations, or they may give away their products or services free of charge. However, foundations and corporations are responsible for only 20 percent of charitable donations; 80 percent comes from individuals.What makes people and institutions give away their time and money? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. Other reasons involve personal interest. Under US tax law, an individual or business does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Philanthropy has become an accepted American custom.B. Philanthropy has made the US a great influence in the world.C. More and more organizations rely on philanthropy nowadays.D. Religion plays an important role in the philanthropy in the US.32. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of philanthropists?A. To donate money.B. To do volunteer work.C. To pay income tax.D. To provide free services.33. What is the main source of donations in the United States?A. Foundations.B. Individuals.C. The government.D. Private corporations.34. How are foundations different from private corporations in the aspect of philanthropy?A. They don’t make a profit.B. They receive more publicity.C. They are set up by very rich individuals.D. They don’t donate money to individuals.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Individuals tend to donate money to become famous.B. Foundations gain more power because of philanthropy.C. Some people donate money for practical purposes.D. The US tax law discourages people from donating money.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:A lot of people think that if they put off the decision of whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships, the problems they are having will magically somehow heal themselves or disappear. T hey won’t.If you don’t invest some quality time now in taking a true, honest and truthful look at the state of your relationship, you could stay stuck in this place of indecision for a verylong time. Many people waste so much precious time when they could be experiencing an incredible relationship filled with love, passion and joy, either in their current relationship or one that is more of what they want. We encourage you to take an honest look at your situation and feel how much pain you’ve been feeling about this relationship. If having a great relationship is important to you, you need to decide that you’re not willing to live without the love, passion, intimacy, and tenderness. You have to take the first step to create the kind of relationship and love you want in your life.We’re not suggesting that you should leave your current relationship or marriage and head out looking for the new love of your life. That’s your decision and one that should only be made after some careful insight and thinking. What we are telling you is that life is too short to go through it without having the love you want and the love that’s possible for all of us. If you are in a relationship that is causing you to wonder whether you should stay in it or leave—i t’s important that you take some time now to make it clear so that you’ll be able to ask yourself openly and honestly whether you’ll be able to heal the challenges.36. To make a decision about whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships quicker, people should ________.A. leave the problems until they heal themselves or disappearB. head out looking for the new love of his /her lifeC. seek expert’s advice and not make a quick decisionD. have a clear understanding of the state of their relationships37. What does the word “incredible” (Para. 2) probably mean in the passage?A. Marvelous.B. Impossible.C. Unusual.D. Unnecessary.38. According to the passage, if one person is not willing to live without love, passion, tenderness and so on, he must ________.A. leave the current relationshipB. take an honest look at his situationC. spend time experiencing an incredible relationshipD. take the first step to create that kind of relationship39. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. If one starts to wonder about the current relationship, it is time to end it.B. Making the decision about one’s relationship needs careful insight.C. A relationship that brings you pain is not necessarily a bad one.D. Life is too short for people to find true love.40. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. persuade people to find a better relationshipB. ask people to invest quality time in their relationshipsC. give people some advice on how to stay in or leave their relationshipsD. advise people how to have a relationship with love, passion and so onSection BDirections:In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).German careers or jobs fall into several categories. First, there are positions that require strong ability in German with a company in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. This category may also include a job requiring good German and/or bilingual (双语的) skillswithin a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere. Secondly, there are jobs that can be done in English in German Europe. Then there are German companies abroad.Most minor and many major positions are filled by recruiting German, Austrian or Swiss nationals. If you are already in German Europe, you may have a better chance of finding a job. In any case, it is best if your company can handle all the formalities involved when a foreign national takes a job in Germany. There are also relocation services that can help with this if you don’t have any ideas yourself.The German unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card” foreign workers have been imported, but this practice is still uncommon. The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledge and planning. Too many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition. Another danger is ignoring culture shock. That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites.For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.41. What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in the US,Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?42. What might the company do for the benefit of a foreign employee?43. What seems to be “hot” fields if you are to find a job in German?44. What is the reason for the author to offer links to culture-related sites?45. What is more important to get most German jobs according to the passage?Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 marks)Section A (15 marks, mark each)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A., B., C. and D.. Choose the one answer that best completes the sentence.46.

大学专业试卷英语写作二卷A
英语写作2考试试卷A适用专业： 考试时间：考试时间：120分钟 闭卷 试卷总分：100分(答案请写在答题纸上)Part I. Summary Writing (20 %):Directions: Read the following passage. Write a summary of about 80 words.The “Hawthorne Effect ”, one of the best-known experiments in sociology was conducted before World War II at the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric. The management was eager to improve productivity and wanted to know what kind of incentives would encourage the workers to increase output. The researcher who investigated the problem, Elton Mayo, separated a group of women from the other workers and systematically varied lighting, coffee breaks, lunch hours, methods of payment, and so on. At first, Mayo and his associates were delighted: each new change increased levels of productivity. But when the researchers found that productivity rose no matter which variables were involved, they became suspicious. When the workers were finally returned to their original conditions, their productivity rose yet again! Something was seriously wrong with the researchers ’ theoretical assumptions. Whatever had caused the changes in the dependent variable —productivity —it was not the independent variables the experimenters had introduced, and from this point of view the experiment was a failure. But the reasons for the experiment ’s failure have taught sociologists a great deal. Production rose, it seems, because the women enjoyed all the attention they were getting: they became a tight-knit, cooperative group, they knew what effects the sociologists were trying to produce, and they did their best to please. This phenomenon —the contamination of the experiment by the subjects ’ assumptions about what the sociologist is trying to prove —is still known as the Hawthorne effect. (239 words)Part II. Essay Appreciation (35%)Directions: Read the following essay and answer the questions.The Hazards of MoviegoingI am a movie fanatic. My friends count on me to know movie trivia (who was the pigtailed little girl in E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial? Drew Barrymore) and to remember every big Oscar awarded since I was in grade school (best picture 1994? Forrest Gump). My friends, though, have stopped asking me if I want to go out to the movies. While I love movies as much as ever, the inconvenience of going out, the temptations of the theatre, and the behavior of some patrons are reasons for me to wait and rent the video.To begin with, I just don ’t enjoy the general hassle of the evening. Since small local movie theaters are a thing of the past, I have to drive for fifteen minutes to get to the nearest multiplex. The parking lot is shared with several restaurants and a supermarket, so it ’s always jammed. I have to drive around at a snail ’s pace until I spot another driver backing out. Then it ’s time to stand in an endless line, with theconstant threat that tickets for the show I want will sell out. If we do get tickets, the theater will be so crowded that I won ’t be able to sit with my friends, or we ’ll have to sit in a front row gaping up at a giant screen, I have to shell out a ridiculous amount of money —up to ＄8—for a ticket. That entitles me to sit while my shoes seal themselves to a sticky floor coated with spilled soda, bubble gum, and crushed Raisinets.Second, . Like most of us, I have to battle an expanding waistline. At home I do pretty well by simply not buying stuff that is bad for me. I can make do with snacks like celery and carrot sticks because there is no ice cream in the freezer. Going to the theater, however, is like spending my evening in a Seven-Eleven that ’s been equipped with a movie screen and comfortable seats. As I try to persuade myself to just have a diet Coke, the smell of fresh popcorn dripping with butter soon overcomes me. Chocolate bars the size of small automobiles seem to jump into my hands. I risk pulling out my fillings as I chew enormous mouthfuls of Milk Duds. By the time I leave the theater, I feel disgusted with myself.Many of the other patrons are even more of a problem than the concession stand. Little kids race up and down the aisles, usually in giggling packs. Teenagers try to impress their friends by talking back to the screen, whistling, and making what they consider to be hilarious noises. Adults act as if they were at home in their own living room. They comment loudly on the ages of the stars and reveal plot twists that are supposed to be a secret until the film ’s end. And people of all ages create distractions. They crinkle candy wrappers, stick gum on their seats, and drop popcorn tubs or cups of crushed ice and soda on the floor. They also cough and burp, squirm endlessly in their seats, file out for repeated trips to the rest rooms or concession stands, and elbow me out of the armrest on either side of my seat.After arriving home from the movies one night, I decided that I was not going to be a moviegoer anymore.

There are two types of meters: 2 using a standard meter movement with a needle (see Fig 3.1(a)), and , with an 1 electronic numerical display (see Fig 3.1(b)).Both types of meters have a 3 (+) jack and a 4 jack (-) for the test leads， 5 to select dc voltage, ac voltage, dc current, ac current, or ohms and 6 for accurate readings. The meters may also have other jacks to measure 7 (1 to 5 kV) and current (up to 10A) there are some variations to the functions used for specific meters.1)Resistance 2)placed across (in parallel) 3)be removed4)in series with 5)mechanical adjust 6)automatic indicator5)properly 8) test leads 9)correct 10)be openedBesides the function and range switches (sometimes they are in a single switch.) The analog meter may have a polarity switch to facilitate reversing the test leads. The needle usually has a screw for 5 to set it to zero and also a zero adjust control to compensate for weakening batteries when measuring 1 . An analog meter can read positive and negative voltage by simply reversing the 8 or moving the polarity switch. A digital meter usually has an 6 for polarity on its display.Meters must be 7connected to a circuit to ensure a 9 reading. A voltmeter is always 2 the circuit or component to be measured. When measuring current, the circuit must 10 and the meter inserted 4 the circuit or component to be measured. When measuring the resistance of a component in a circuit, the voltage to the circuit must 3 and the meter placed in parallel with the component.三.Read the following passage and answer the questions.（5*8=40）RobotsRobots produce mechanical motion that,in most cases,results in manipulation or locomotion.For example,industrial robots manipulate parts or tools to perform manufacturing tasks such as material handing,welding,spray painting,or assembly;automated guided vehicles are used for transporting materials in factories and warehouses.Telerobots provide astronauts with large mainipulators for remotely performing spacecraft maintenance.Robots perform repetitive,high-precision operations 24 hours a day without fatigue.Robots on this automobile assembly line weld body parts together.The General Motors corporation uses about 16,000 robots to weld,assemble,and paint automobiles.Walking robots explore active volcanoes.Mechanical characteristics for robots include degrees of freedom of movement,size and shape of the operatingspace,stiffness and strength of the structure ,lifting capacity,velocity ,and acceleration under load.Performance measures include repeatability and accuracy of positioning,speed,and freedom from vibration.A robot is made up of sensors,actuators,and computatlonal elements(a microprocessor).Actuators for moving joints of a robot are usually electric servomotors.In the past ,larger robots were built with hydraulic actuation due to their high payload capacity and ability to work in explosion-prone environments.In the 1990s,there was a trend by the major manufacturers to use electric actuators in most of their industrial robots.A robot is an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose, manipulating machine with several reprogrammable axes, which may be either fixed in place or mobile for use in industrial automation applications.The key words are reprogrammable and multipurpose because most single-purpose machines do not meet these two requirements. The term “reprogrammable” implies two things: The robot operates according to a written program, and this program can be rewritten to accommodate a variety of manufacturing tasks. The term “multipurpose” means that the robot can perform many different functions, depending on the program and tooling currently in use.Over the past two decades, the robot has been introduced into industry to perform many monotonous and often unsafe operations. Because robots can perform certain basic tasks more quickly and accurately than humans, they are being increasingly used in various manufacturing industries.1.What industrial robots can do for people?Industrial robots manipulate parts or tools to perform manufacturing tasks such as material handing,welding,spray painting,or assembly;automated guided vehicles are used for transporting materials in factories and warehouses.2.What are the advantages of robots?igue.Robots perform repetitive,high-precision operations 24 hours a day without fat3. What parts are made up of the robot?A robot is made up of sensors,actuators,and computatlonal elements(a microprocessor).4．What does t he term “reprogrammable” impl y?The term “reprogrammable”implies two things: The robot operates according to a written program, and this program can be rewritten to accommodate a variety of manufacturing tasks.5.Why are robots widely used over the past two decades?Because robots can perform certain basic tasks more quickly and accurately than humans, they are being increasingly used in various manufacturing industries.四.Read the following passage and t ranslate the underlined phrases and sentences into Chinese.（5*4=20）Classification of Robots1.Industrial robots vary widely in size, shape, number of axes, degrees of freedom, and design configuration. Each factor influences the dimensions of the robot’s working envelope or the volume of space within which it can move and perform its designated task. A broader classification of robots can been described as below.Fixed-and Variable-Sequence Robots. The fixed-sequence robot (also called a pick-and place robot) is programmed for a specific sequence of operations. Its movements are from point to point, and the cycle is repeated continuously. 2.The variable-sequence robot can be programmed for a specific sequence of operations but can be reprogrammed to perform another sequence of operation.3.Playback Robot. An operator leads or walks the playback robot and its end effector through the desired path. The robot memorizes and records the path and sequence of motions and can repeat them continually without any further action or guidance by the operator.Numerically Controlled Robot. 4.The numerically controlled robot is programmed and operated much like a numerically controlled machine. The robot is servo-controlled by digital data, and its sequence of movements can be changed with relative ease.5.Intelligent Robot. The intelligent robot is capable of performing some of the functions and tasks carried out by human beings. It is equipped with a variety of sensors with visual and tactile capabilities.1. 工业机器人在尺寸、形状、轴的数量、自由度、设计构型等方面广泛的变化。

Remember to write down the answers on the Answer Sheet .California's Higher Education - From American Dream to Dilemma[1] For the Golden State of California, 1960 was a golden year: It was a time of rapid development, and part of this massive development was a system of public higher education.[2] California's higher education prospects of 1960 were built on a distinctive historical foundation. The idea that the state's colleges and universities could – and should – be the source of an informed, responsible citizenry and state leadership had been established by legislators and voters by World War I.[3] Robert Gordon Sproul, president of the University of California, who served from 1930 to 1958, built on this early vision. He set up six campuses statewide as part of a creation of a multi-campus system to meet California's growing demand for higher education.[4] In 1958, Clark Kerr was named president of the University of California system. With Kerr's efforts higher education became part of the California dream. In 1960 the state legislature passed the Donahoe Act, which included a 246-page report, "A Master Plan for Higher Education in California, 1960-1975." On Oct. 17, 1960, Time magazine featured Clark Kerr on its cover as the "Master Planner."[5] The California dream of higher education combined access to higher education with affordability and choice. The new California policy of no tuition was extended to all public colleges and universities statewide. Furthermore, the master plan promoted state-funded student scholarships through a state agency created in 1955, the California Student Aid Commission.[6] California came to provide a high quality of education – the best in the country. A 1966 report by the American Council on Education shows that University of California, Berkeley was the top university at the time in America for overall quality in graduate education. Between 1939 and 1968, 12 professors at UC Berkeley had received the Nobel Prize, the highest number at any university.[7] Resources were made available for the realization of the dream. As part of passing the Donahoe Act in 1960, the California state government approved US$1 billion in funding for higher education facilities. Central to its growth was an expansion of campuses. Between 1964 and 1965 the University of California built three new campuses – at SanDiego, Irvine and Santa Cruz.[8] By 1967, however, the master plan was encountering problems – it was expensive and increasingly seemed not sustainable.[9] State Senator George Deukmejian voiced Republican concerns about higher education. He argued in favor of adding a tuition charge for University of California students and endorsed Governor Ronald Reagan's new "equal education plan." The plan called for a modest tuition of $250 per year for the university and $80 per year in the state colleges.[10] The Republican reform plan included grants or loans to those who could not afford the modest tuition. It was noted that half of the enrolled students came from relatively affluent families. Only about 12 percent came from modest-income families earning $6,000 year or less.[11] Today, California's higher education system struggles with budget cuts and an uncertain future. There are concerns that the public universities are soon going to be "public no more." As education scholar Brendan Cantwell notes, even the preeminent research university, Berkeley, has been hit by budget cuts. At the same time, the state's outstanding private colleges and universities have soared in terms of academic standards, selective admissions, tuition revenues, new construction and federal research grants.[12] The master plan has struggled to keep up. It has gone through many reviews and revisions, the latest of which, in 2017, emphasized improving access and affordability. But the convergence of these trends, combined with fluctuations in the state economy and tax revenues, has turned the Californian dream of higher education into an American dilemma.(603 words)第2⻚页，共11⻚页试卷编号：（每个答案不超过5个单词！）California's Higher Education - From American Dream to Dilemma: An OutlineI.Start of the DreamA. 1 _______________________ formed by World War IB.Robert Gordon Sproul’s 2_______________________II.The Dream YearsA.Clark Kerr’s 3_______________________B. 4 _______________________ of higher educationC.California’s 5_______________________ of educationD.Funding and 6_______________________III.7_______________________ EncounteredA.George Deukmejian’s argument for a 8 _______________________B.9 _______________________ to poor studentsIV.Realities Today: the DilemmaA.Struggles with 10 _______________________B.Struggles with the master planSection B (2*15 = 30 points)Directions:There are 6 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and write it down on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.[1]What do Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Usher and Lady Gaga have in common apart from being highly popular, and rich, music singers? The answer is they all owe some of their success to people behind the scenes from a relatively small country in northern Europe – Sweden. Ever since ABBA exploded onto the world stage in 1974 by winning the European song contest with their easy-to-sing-along hit “Waterloo”, Swedish groups, and more importantly the people who make the groups what they are, have had a disproportionate influence on modern music. To understand why this should be so it is important to see how Sweden nurtures its musical talent.第3 ⻚页，共 11 ⻚页试卷编号：[2] All Swedish children are encouraged and expected to learn how to appreciate music and play an instrument from kindergarten onwards. After-school music lessons are inexpensive and instruments may be rented. Music education is supported by the government as may be seen by the recent establishment of the Academy of Music and Business (AMB) in southern Sweden by two music producers and teachers, which receives funds for each of the students enrolled in the school. The school aims to develop both creativity and commercial success in young musicians by preparing them for the enormous changes the music industry is facing. Note the second half of the school’s name is “Business.” This is a clear recognition of the fact that in Sweden music making is about making money. In 2011, Sweden’s foreign music sales earned the country US $135 million, which placed it third in the world after the USA and the UK and the highest in the world on a per capita basis.[3] So who are the people responsible for making money out of music and helping the big name stars achieve such popularity? The man credited with starting Sweden’s creative push into modern music is Dag V olle aka Denniz Pop. It is claimed that he discovered the Swedish group Ace of Base in the early 1990s when the group’s demo tape got jammed in his car stereo and he had to listen to it over and over again. He loved the song so much that he decided to release it to the public. Their new title, “All That She Wants” became a smash hit. He subsequently opened a recording studio, Cheiron Studios, and it was there that he produced the debut album for one of the biggest boy bands of the 1990s, Backstreet Boys. V olle worked collaboratively with, and mentored, a number of young songwriters until his death in 1998. Perhaps the best known of these today is Max Martin.[4]Max Martin, whose real name is Martin Karl Sandberg, has written a string of hits for some of the biggest recording artists in the world today. These include Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone,” Usher’s “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love,” and Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time.” Other prominent Swedish songwriters and producers include Andreas Carlsson, who co-wrote “Bye Bye Bye” for NSYNC, Shellback, Bloodshy and RedOne, who co-wrote and produced two of Lady Gaga’s biggest hits “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance.” If you have not heard of any of these people maybe it is because the Swedes famously do not like standing out from the crowd, but prefer to work their magic behind the scenes.第4⻚页，共 11⻚页试卷编号：[5] Aside from writing and producing hits, Swedes are also activein other areas of the music business: as sound and video engineers and technicians, the people who make the music sound the way it does; choreographers and directors who put together the all-important videos that accompany songs and often do so much to shape the image of the artist, especially when seen by millions on YouTube; Sweden also has a great number of music teachers and voice coaches, managers, marketers and promoters. The fans who buy the star’s music may be unaware of these teams of people working in collaboration in the background, but these professionals are all crucial for the ultimate success of the artist’s work.[6] One reason why Sweden is so active in the music field may come down to its adaptability. Ola Hakansson, a singer whose career spans fifty years, says, “We’re a small country, so we can’t set any trends, but we’re really good at picking up on other people’s, and we’re really good at mimicking.” A case in point is ABBA, whose records mix jazz, blues, and keyboard style with local folk music, and have sold over 380 million copies.[7] Another reason is that nearly all Swedes are fluent in the music world’s lingua franca – English. In order to be globally successful songs need to be written and performed in English. Swedish groups are well placed to capitalize on their linguistic prowess. Since ABBA, other Swedish artists making waves in the music world include Roxette, The Cardigans, Avicii and Robyn.[8] So the next time you buy a CD or download a song by a band or singer that you like, why not check out who wrote it, who produced it, who directed the dance moves on the video, and who manages the artist. You may not now be so surprised to find that someone from Sweden is behind the effort to create the perfect pop song!(875 words)11.

These scenes may look more like an episode of Black Mirror, but the world’s new reality amid the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is forcing the global society to confront issues beyond the scope of science fiction to revive communities slowly, safely and sustainably.[2] New York may have the Empire State Building, lit up in festive hues to mark holidays big and small, but in Washington’s Petworth neighborhood, residents look to the front lawn of a blue rowhouse to celebrate the passage of time. Pirate ships and undead swashbucklers for Halloween. Cartoonish turkeys for Thanksgiving. Pink and red hearts for Valentine’s Day. Red, white and blue everything for the Fourth of July. Bright rainbows and unicorns to honor Pride.第6⻚页，共 11 ⻚页试卷编号：[3] Hardly a holiday goes uncelebrated. Even the small ones.[4] So when the District announced its stay-at-home order, meant to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, it was no surprise to neighbors that homeowners Curtis Gilbert and Chris Rowland transformed their Easter Bunny display into a flashy pandemic warning sign.[5] The couple measured a six-foot arrow and propped it up between two rabbits, ensuring they were socially distanced as they held speckled Easter eggs. They wanted the crowds on the green grass of Sherman Circle across the street to see: Even the Easter Bunny was keeping his social distance. “We wanted it to be a friendly reminder that it is a pandemic,” Gilbert said. “But with all the horrible news, we were hoping it would give people a chance to giggle, too.”[6] Even the mayor took notice. On Easter Sunday, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser tweeted a photo of the bunnies. “Happy Easter!” she wrote, after changing her Twitter username to include the hashtag #StayHomeDC.[7] As the pandemic death toll has continued to climb — and states struggle with how best to keep their residents safe — Gilbert and Rowland said they didn’t feel it was right to jump into their usual rotation of holiday trimmings. Instead they continued on the pandemic theme, hoping it would catch the eye of someone who might need a reminder to wear a face mask or keep their distance from others.[8] Gilbert and Rowland — who have been together for 25 years — were never much for holiday displays before 2013, when they moved into the house. But after the move, the couple realized they would likely get a stream of Halloween trick-or-treaters. They decided to embrace it, putting up a small display of skeletons to signal to neighborhood kids they were open for business.[9] The next year, the skeletons got a pirate ship, assembled with leftover wood from a backyard project. The house quickly became a destination for kids and their families. Although it’s not clear when they will be able to host a similar gathering without fears of clustered crowds and spreading disease, the couple said they hope the whimsical pandemic displays send a similar message to their community: we’re all in this together, even if we have to stand six feet apart.(521 words)16. Why does the author mention different festive celebrations in Para. 2?A)To present how much people in New York love celebrating holidays.B)To show that New York can continue to be a metropolitan city.C)To explain holiday decoration services people should have held.D)To suggest that there could be no festive hues to mark holidays over the months.第7⻚页，共 11 ⻚页试卷编号：17. What did the couple do for their community during the pandemic according to thepassage?A)They texted messages to their community that we were all together for thepandemic.B)They warned clustered crowds against the pandemic by asking them to stay home.C)They decorated their house to signal to neighborhood kids they loved the kids verymuch.D)They reminded people of social distancing by connecting two Easter bunnies withthe warning sign of six-foot length.18. Which of the following statements is not TRUE?A)D.C mayor acknowledged the couple’s behavior by tweeting the bunnies picture.B)The couple have been proud of themselves on delivering holiday cheers year byyear since they were together.C)The couple considered it’s not right to jump into the usual holiday displays in thepandemic situation.D)The neighborhood kids and their families used to gather in the couple’s house inholiday seasons.19. The word “whimsical” in Para. 9 is closest in meaning to_____.A)Fanciful DisplaysB)Weird displaysC)Impractical displaysD)Capricious displaysPassage ThreeQuestions 20 is based on the following passage.Campus organizer: Before last year’s campus cleanup, only 69 of the students signed up to participate, but then well over 100 actually participated. This year, 75 students have signed up to participate. Since our campus cleanup will be a success if we have at least 100 participants, we can be confident that this year’s cleanup will be a success.20. The reasoning in the campus organizer’s argument is most vulnerable to criticism on thegrounds that the argument ________.A)confuses a condition that is required for an outcome with one that is sufficient for thatoutcomeB) generalizes about the outcome of an event based on a single observation of a similarsituationC) overlooks the possibility that the cleanup will attract participants who are not studentsat campusD) defines a term in such a way as to ensure that whatever the outcome, it will beconsidered a positive outcome第8⻚页，共 11 ⻚页试卷编号：Passage FourQuestions 21 is based on the following passage.Psychologist: In our study, participants who were offered the opportunity to purchase a Starbucks mug were not willing to pay more than $10. If, however, they were given a very similar mug and asked immediately afterwards how much they would be willing to sell it for, most of them held out for more than $10.21. Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancydescribed above?A）A person’s assessment of the value of an object depends on his or her evaluation of the inherent properties of the object.B）The amount a person is willing to spend on an object is determined by the amount that object sold for in the past.C）People tend to value an object that they do not own less than they value a very similar object that they already own.D）People are more likely to undervalue objects they have been given than objects they have purchased.Passage FiveQuestions 22 is based on the following passage.Global use of the Internet has led to an increase in certain crimes such as information theft and to new crimes like hacking. This seems due, at least in part, to the impersonal nature of the Internet. People seem to feel more free to harm others through the Internet than in person, suggesting that people feel less morally constrained when they use the Internet. For this reason, steps should be taken to educate people about the ethical use of the Internet.22. Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the reasoning inthe argument?A) When new technologies emerge, society needs to formulate new ethical guidelines tocover the use of those technologies.B) The more educated that people are about the ethical usage of the Internet, the greaterthe amount of harm that they can do to others.C) People feel morally constrained from doing an action only if that action causes harmto others.D) Education about the ethical use of a tool increases one’s sense of moral responsibilityregarding its use.第9 ⻚页，共 11 ⻚页试卷编号：Passage SixQuestions 23 to 25 are based on the following passage.A Professor of life science will assign each of five students—Li Hua, Han Meimei, Li Ming, Xiao Long, and Xiao Fan—to exactly one of two research teams, the Jiang’an team and the Huaxi team.

(Attention: part of the original article has been adapted in the following passage for the convenience of all students to write about.)Scoring Rubric（评分参考）:•Coherence and cohesion with the given passage （续写内容与前⽂连贯度）（40%）;•Verbal dexterity （语⾔表达，包括语⾔⾃然流畅度和词汇丰富性等）（60%）.When I was growing up I was told, as many students are, to do what I am best at. But I didn’t know what that was. Most people think that when you are good at something, it comes easily to you. But this is what I discovered: just because a subject is difficult to learn, it does not mean you are not good at it. You just have to grit your teeth and work harder to get good at it. Once you do, there’s a strong chance you will enjoy it more than anything else.In eighth grade I took algebra. On one test I got only 36 percent of the answers correct. I failed the next one, too. I started to think, maybe I’m just no good at this. I was lucky enough to have a teacher who didn’t take my bad grades as a judgement of my abilities, but simply as an indication that I should study more. He pulled me aside and told me he knew I could do better. He let me retake the tests, and I pulled my grade up to an A.I studied a lot in college, too. I had moments of panic while sitting underneath the buzzing fluorescent lights in the engineering library on Saturday afternoons, when I worried that I was not able to fully understand thermodynamics. But the guys in my classes had to work just as hard, and I knew that I couldn’t afford to lose confidence in myself. The ones that say that math comes more naturally to men or language would be easier to women are based on a faulty premise: that you can judge a person’s abilities separate from the cultural cues that they have received since they are infants. No man is an island. No woman, is either.Why are we so quick to limit ourselves? It may be true that some people favor the right side of their brain, and others the left. Instead of translating our differences into hard and fast conclusions about the human brain, why can’t we focus instead on how incredibly flexible we are?(357 words)第11 ⻚页，共 11 ⻚页试卷编号：。

The once typical British family headed by two parents has undergone great changes during the 20th century. In particular there has been a rise in the number of single-person households, which increased from 18 to 29 percent of all households between 1979 and 2002. By the year 2020, it is estimated that there will be more single people than married people. Fifty years ago this would have been socially unacceptable in Britain.In the past, people got married and stayed married. Divorce was very difficult, expensive and took a long time. Today, people ’s views on marriage are changing. Many couples, mostly in their twenties or thirties, live together without getting married. Only about 60 percent of these couples will eventually get married.In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40 percent of children in Britain are born before their parents get married. In 2000, about a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16 and 59 were living together in Great Britain. Cohabiting couples are also starting families without first being married. Before 1960s, this was very unusual, but in 2001, about 23 percent of births in the UK were cohabiting couples.( )1.
