According to a 2018 American Psychological Association survey of more than 3,000 people, the top ___41___ are work, money, the economy and health.Although everyone faces stress, people react to it ___42___. “ There ' s the situation, how we ___43___ the situation, and then our skills at handling the situation, says psychologist William” Lovallo of the University of Oklahoma. 44 experiences help us assess appropriateresponses, so most people improve with age. “ A high school student or a college student might not have those ___45___ skills and might let a situation get out of hand, he adds. ”Most ___46___have normal stress responses, regulated to give the right burst of hormones （激素）and bodily changes for a particular stressor.

House and tree have been here, side by side, for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the house at the beginning of the 1900s.It was still rather young and flexible back then, so it easily welcomed the new structure into its path. it bent and adjusted itself to make room, and to find the space to grow big and strong and wise. Which means that some hundred years later, the solid, strong branches of the tree reach around two full sides of my home. It ' s c(ove苔re藓d )in ,m wahsicsh is, in turn, crawling with allsorts of inseets. I have never seen the insects, by the way, I just know that they ' re there all the birds trying to pick them out. They are always hopping around, looking for this and that and singing songs.I feel like I have become part of the ecosystem. When I ' m eating breakfast or making dinner in the kitchen, I can look out and see a bird hopping around skillfully, gathering its own meal while I tend to mine. When I ' m sitting in the living room, reading or drinking tea, I can suddenly findmyself face to face with another bird. We ' ll be staring at each other and, after some time, decidewe can both carry on with our business. Living side by side. Even as I write this -- the largewindows open to a lovely, soft evening -- a white feather comes floating down by my side. Probably from one of the resident pigeons.As I don ' t have the luxury of a garden, this tree makes me fell connected to the outdoors. Such an ancient tree, a tree that is itself home to many other creatures -- that feels different. It is as if it has adopted me and made me a part of its world, without ever asking for something in return.

Ourcollective tiredness has promoted a $41 billion market for devicespromising more -- and higher - quality -- sleep. In my everlasting search for downtime, I tested some of the most promising ones.

Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are spreadable. But way some travel far and wide while equally good ones remain in relative insignificance has been a mystery. Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to imitate how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger “ epidemicstha”n equally good ideas from less well -known places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the new study. “ This implies that where an idea is born shapes how far it spreads, holding the quality of the idea constant. says senior author Aaron Clauset, also at Boulder.Not only is this unfair -- “ it reveals a big weakness in how we ' re dosianygs sSciimenocne ,DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, who was not involved in the study. There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. “ They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost, D”eDeo says. “ Our science, our scholarship, is not as good because of this.The Colorado researchers analyzed an existing data set of computer science department hires in North America, as well as a database of publications by these hires. First they looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time -- and in 81 percent of those cases, transfers took place from higher- to lower -status universities. Then the team imitated the broadcasting of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea “ epidemic (a”s measured by the number of institutions that published studies on an idea after it originated) depended on the status of the originating institution. The findings were published online last October in EPJ Data Science.The researchers mo'del suggests that there “ may be a number of quite good ideas thatoriginate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities, Clauset says. DeDeo a”grees. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places, he says: “ You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don ' t know because they ' re not even paying attention. ”63.The word “ this in” paragraph 2 refers to the fact that ________ .A. the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spreadB.the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintainC.good ideas from less important institutions lack influenceD.scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless64.The case of some hires in paragraph 3 is used to indicate _________ .A. the statistics the epidemological model provides for the researchersB.why the originating institutions transfer their new findingsC.how they carry the ideas from lower - to higher - status institutionsD. the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects65.Researchers such as Clauset are very much concerned about __________ .A. losing quite a number of great and creative thoughtsB.missing the opportunities of getting more well -knownC.misusing the epidemiological model in scientific research areasD.having difficulty in finding more proper science department hires66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Infectious DiseasesB. Original IdeasC. Idea EpidemicD. Epidemiological ModelSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. So we try to push back the tide and keep up by multi - tasking.B.No wonder people say they ' re too busy to see friends, exercise or sleep.C.Would it surprise you to hear that we have more leisure time today than ever?D. How can we learn to spend time in a way that ' s more likely to lead to happiness andsuccess?E.It ' s something that economist have been puzzling over and they ' ve identified several reasons.F.Then you will have fewer empty experiences and far ore that are worthy of your precious time.The Fullness of TimeMost of us think we have very little time, but the truth is we actually have a lot - on average, five hours 49 minutes each day, which means we typically have somewhere between 36 and 40 hours available to be spent every week however we want. So why don - ric'h? t we feel time________ 67 _______One is that we earn more, so time feels more expensive. Then there ' s the way we ' ve com see busyness as a status symbol: important people are busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to that the flood of incoming emails and texts, along with the endless ocean of possibilities, and it to see where time goes.A second factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others aredoing, making us anxious. ______ 68 _______ This fools us into thinking we ' re being more productive with our work time, so we try to do it with our leisure time, too. When we ' re p with out kids, we check Facebook. When we ' re hanging out with one group of friends, we postpictures to show another. This is something sociologists call ‘ polluted time '.We' re also addicted to our devices. In 2007, the amount of leisure time we spent on devices like smart -phones could be measured in minutes. Now, we spend on average 3.5 hours a day online. 69You might be wondering why you need help deciding how to spend your free time -- after all you know the sort of things you enjoy, so what could be so difficult? Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has a surprising opinion on it. “ The popular assumption is that no skills are involved in enjoying free time, anybody can do it. Yet the evidence suggests the opposite; free time is more difficult to enjoy than work. Worryingly, sc”ientists have found that people are often no happier after a holiday than if they ' d never taken one. ________ 70 _______ The question stillremains unsettled.Ⅱ.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Cryptocurrency (加密货币)Making payments online is very easy these days if you have a credit card or a bank card that used a payment network. Sending money online to a friend, you have to use a payment service like Google Pay or PayPal, or make a bank transfer. However, there is usually a significant delay before the receiver can use the money, and transfers can have sizeable fees.In 2008, a group of people published a paper describing a process that would use crypto -graph (密码学) to create a secure electronic cash system, known as a cryptocurrency. Person - to - person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial organization. Each transaction could happen very quickly. The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to confirm those transactions safely. Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.Today, there are over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. Most are still trying to be valid global payment systems like Bitcoin. They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry. One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their electronic cash. The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.Another problem is the large number of false cryptocurrencies advertised on the Internet. The advertisements invite Internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies. Many visitors are persuaded to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual money. Later, the websites disappear along with the victims money'. In response to this problem, companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.Ⅱ. Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.我真的应该为自己失礼的行为向你道歉。

The sun was rising, and the sky was filled with beautiful colors. As we walked along the wall, we could see the mountains in the distance. The view was breathtaking.The Great Wall is an amazing engineering achievement. It's said that it took thousands of workers and many years to build. We learned a lot about the history and culture of China from our guide.I was amazed by the length and height of the wall. It's so big that it can be seen from space! We also visited a watchtower, where we could see the wall from above. It was an unforgettable experience.passage 2The Internet has become an integral part of our lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, access information, and do business. However, with great power comes great responsibility.One of the most significant advantages of the Internet is the ease of communication. We can now connect with people from all over the world in seconds. This has greatly facilitated global cooperation and understanding.Another advantage is the access to a vast amount of information. With just a few clicks, we can find information on any topic. This has made learning and research much more efficient.However, the Internet also has its drawbacks. One of the biggest issues is cyberbullying. Many people use the anonymity of the Internet to harass and intimidate others. This can have severe consequences on the mental health of the victims.Another problem is the spread of misinformation. With the ease of sharing information, it's difficult to discern between fact and fiction.

Studies have shown that regular physical activity can enhance memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. This is especially important for students who need to stay focused and productive.In addition to the mental health benefits, exercise is crucial for maintaining physical health. It can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Regular exercise also strengthens bones and muscles, making us more resistant to injuries.However, it's important to choose the right type of exercise for our needs. Some people prefer cardio exercises, while others enjoy strength training or yoga. It's essential to find an activity that we enjoy and can stick to.In conclusion, exercise is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle. By incorporating regular physical activity into our daily routines, we can improve our overall well-being.三、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）Many people believe that happiness is a goal to be achieved. However, happiness is not something that can be obtained through external means. Instead, it is an internal state that we can cultivate.The first step to cultivating happiness is to focus on the present moment. Often, we are too concerned about the future or regretting the past. By living in the present, we can appreciate the beauty of life and find joy in the small things.Another important aspect of happiness is gratitude. We often take for granted the things we have in life. By expressing gratitude, we can acknowledge the blessings we receive and appreciate them more.Additionally, practicing kindness and helping others can also contribute to our happiness. When we help others, we feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose. This can improve our self-esteem and overall well-being.However, happiness is not always easy to achieve. We may face challenges and setbacks along the way. It's important to be resilient and maintain a positive mindset. By embracing difficulties as opportunities for growth, we can learn and improve ourselves.In conclusion, happiness is a state of mind that we can cultivate through mindfulness, gratitude, kindness, and resilience.

The rapid development of technology and industrialization has led to serious environmental problems, such as air and water pollution, deforestation, and climate change. As a result, it is crucial for us to take immediate action to protect our environment.Firstly, environmental protection is essential for the survival of our planet. The natural resources on Earth are finite, and if we continue to exploit them without consideration, we may face severe consequences, such as natural disasters and the loss of biodiversity.Secondly, environmental protection is closely related to our health and well-being.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ancient creatures likely evolved the stress response to better escape from hunters. But today its causes include traffic, deadlines and first dates. According to a 2018 American Psychological Association survey of more than 3,000 people, the top 41 are work, money, the economy and health.Although everyone faces stress, people react to it 42 . "There's the situation, how we 43 the situation, and then our skills at handling the situation," says psychologist William Lovallo of the University of Oklahoma. __44 experiences help us assess appropriate responses, so most people improve with age. "A high school student or a college student might not have those 45 skills and might let a situation get out of hand," he adds.Most 46 have normal stress responses, regulated to give the right burst of hormones（激素）and bodily changes for a particular stressor. But others always over-or underreact, which may be a warning sign for physical or mental 47 . To study this, scientists often monitor cortisol（皮质醇）or heart rate variations throughout the day and during trying tasks.48 the intensity of these responses seems to be set from a young age. Studies have shown that people who experienced childhood hardships一including physical punishment and a（n） 49 home一are more likely to have quiet stress reactions as adults. For example, as part of a study published in 2012, Lovallo exposed 354 participants to moderate stress.

While the study tasks were not important, the individuals' underreactions suggest their stress response may also have trouble 51 when it really matters. Tt can be just as 52 as an extreme response.

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)I live in a second-floor flat with an ancient tree right on the corner of the house. House and tree have been here, side by side, for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the house at the beginning of the 1900s.It was still rather young and flexible back then, so it easily welcomed the new structure into its path. Tt bent and adjusted itself to make room, and to find the space to grow big and strong and wise. Which means that some hundred years later, the solid, strong branches of the tree reach around two full sides of my home. It's covered in moss (苔薛), which is, in turn, crawling with all sorts of insects. 1 have never seen the insects, by the way, 1 just know that they're there because of all the birds trying to pick them out. They are always hopping around, looking for this and that and singing songs.I feel like I have become part of the ecosystem. When I'm eating breakfast or making dinner in the kitchen, I can look outand see a bird hopping around skillfully, gathering its own meal while I tend to mine. When Fm sitting in the living room, reading or drinlcing tea, I can suddenly find myself face to face with another bird. We'll be staring at each other and, after some time, decide we can both carry on with our business. Living side by side. Even as T write thisthe large windows open to a lovely, soft evening一a white feather comes floating down by my side. Probably from one of the resident pigeons.As 1 don't have the luxury of a garden, this tree makes me feel connected to the outdoors. Such an ancient tree, a tree that is itself home to many other creatures—that feels different. It is as if it has adopted me and made me a part of its world, without ever asking for something in return. But if needs be, T know that it can count on me and T will protect it with all my strength.56. The flat the author lives in is .A. built in an ancient treeB. hugged by a giant treeC. decorated with branchesD. surrounded by a garden57. Tn the author's description, she implies that _____A. birds keep her warm companyB. she has been living on tree productsC. moss makes her flat nice and coolD. she has been bothered by the insects58. What does the author really treasure?A. A close-to-nature life.B. A luxurious garden.C. A spacious house.D. A sociable neighbor.59.Which of the following can be used to express the author's feeling?A.Jealous.B. Inferior.C. Content.D. Passionate.(B)The Sleep of Your DreamsAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a third of us don't get nearly enough shut-eye. Our collective tiredness has promoted a $41 billion market for devices promising more 一and higher-quality 一sleep. In my everlasting search fbr downtime, I tested some of the most promising ones. Here's how they stacked up.* REM: rapid eye movement (describes a period of sleep during which you dream and your eyes make small movements)60. By "how they stacked up” in paragraph 1, the author probably means "how they _______A. make sense to manufacturersB. get stuck in storesC. are compared with each otherD. are piled up together 61. Which of the following devices favourably reacts to users?A. Dreampad pillowB. Eight sleep trackerC. Smart Nora Wireless Snoring SolutionD. Nightingale Smart Home Sleep System 62. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The Eight keeps the entire bed at the same temperature.B. The Nightingale is an economical but perfect device.C. Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D. One in three people suffer from sleep problem.(C)An epidemic is the occurrence of a disease which affects a very large number of people living in an area and which spreads quickly to other people. Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are spreadable. But why some travel far and wide while equally good ones remain in relative insignificance has been a mystery. Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to imitate how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas originating at famous institutions caused bigger "epidemics" than equally good ideas from less well-known places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the new study. "This implies that where anEight sleep tracker? $299This mattress (床垫)topper fits under a sheet and >“turns any bed into a smart bed,,, according to Eight" While Tslept, the sensor-decorated pad gathered data < like heart rate,periods of deepest sleep, and number of: turns.

The only downside: in standby mode, it emits a faint noise. REM Score: 9idea is born shapes how far it spreads, holding the quality of the idea constant." says senior author Aaron Clauset, also at Boulder.Not only is this unfair~~''it reveals a big weakness in how we're doing science," says Simon DeDeo, a professor of social and decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, who was not involved in the study. There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. "They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost," DeDeo says. "Our science, our scholarship, is not as good because of this.,,The Colorado researchers analyzed an existing data set of computer science department hires in North America, as well as a database of publications by these hires. First they looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time一and in 81 percent of those cases, transfers took place from higher-to lower-status universities. Then the team imitated the broadcasting of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea "epidemic" (as measured by the number of institutions that published studies on an idea after it originated) depended on the status of the originating institution. The findings were published online last October in EP J Data Science.The researchers9 model suggests that there "may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities,Clauset says. DeDeo agrees. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places, he says: "You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don't know because they're not even paying attention.,,63.The word "this" in paragraph 2 refers to the fact that .A.the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spreadB.the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintainC.good ideas from less important institutions lack influenceD.scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless64.The case of some hires in paragraph 3 is used to indicate .A.the statistics the epidemiological model provides for the researchersB.why the originating institutions transfer their new findingsC.how they carry the ideas from lower- to higher-status institutionsD.the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects65.Researchers such as Clauset are very much concerned about .A.losing quite a number of great and creative thoughtsB.missing the opportunities of getting more well-knownC.misusing the epidemiological model in scientific research areasD.having difficulty in finding more proper science department hires66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Infectious DiseasesB. Original IdeasC. Idea EpidemicD. Epidemiological ModelSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The Fullness of TimeMost of us think we have very little time, but the truth is we actually have a lot一on average, five hours 49 minutes each day, which means we typically have somewhere between 36 and 40 hours available to be spent every week however we want. So why don't we feel time-rich? 67One is that we earn more, so time feels more expensive. Then there's the way we've come to see busyness as a status symbol: important people are busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to that the flood of incoming emails and texts, along with the endless ocean of possibilities, and it's easy to see where time goes.A second factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others are doing, making us anxious.68 This fools us into thinking we're being more productive with our work time, so we try to do it with our leisure time, too. When we're playing with our kids, we check Facebook. When we're hanging out with one group of friends, we post pictures to show another. This is something sociologists call "polluted time'.We're also addicted to our devices. In 2007, the amount of leisure time we spent on devices like smartphones could be measured in minutes. Now, we spend on average 3.5 hours a day online. 69You might be wondering why you need help deciding how to spend your free time—after all you know the sort of things you enjoy, so what could be so diffic ult? Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has a surprising opinion on it. “The popular assumption is that no skills are involved in enjoying free time, anybody can do it. Yet the evidence suggests the opposite; free time is more difficult to enjoy than work." Worryingly, scientists have found that people are often no happier after a holiday than if they'd never taken one. 70 The question still remains unsettled.TV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Cryptocurrency（加密货币）Making payments online is very easy these days if you have a credit card or a bank card that uses a payment network. Sending money online to a friend, you have to use a payment service like Google Pay or PayPal, or make a bank transfer. However, there is usually a significant delay before the receiver can use the money, and transfers can have sizeable fees.In 2008, a group of people published a paper describing a process that would use cryptograph（密码学）to create a secure electronic cash system, known as a cryptocurrency. Person-to-person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial organization. Each transaction could happen very quickly. The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to confirm those transactions safely. Getting rid of the need for a centralized bankingsystem would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.Today, there are over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. Most are still trying to be valid global payment systems like Bitcoin. They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry. One issue is weak security on cryptocurrency websites where users either store their electronic cash in virtual "wallets" or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another. However, clever thieves have broken into many of these websites and stolen electronic cash. The websites are struggling to protect their users from such thefts.Another problem is the large number of false cryptocurrencies advertised on the Internet. The advertisements invite Internet users to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies. Many visitors are persuaded to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual money. Later, the websites disappear along with the victims, money. Tn response to this problem, companies like Facebook and Google are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.V.

Soft music is applied to all these four devices.D. One in three people suffer from sleep problem.(C)An epidemic is the occurrence of a disease which affects a very large number of people living in an area and which spreads quickly to other people. Like infectious diseases, ideas in the academic world are spreadable. But why some travel far and wide while equally good ones remain in relative insignificance has been a mystery. Now a team of computer scientists has used an epidemiological model to imitate how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideasoriginating at famous institutions caused bigger "epidemics" than equally good ideas from less well-known places, explains Allison Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the new study.

There are many highly trained people with good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. "They are producing good ideas, and we know those ideas are getting lost," DeDeo says. "Our science, our scholarship, is not as good because ofthis.,,The Colorado researchers analyzed an existing data set of computer science department hires in North America, as well as a database of publications by these hires. First they looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions. They found that hiring a new member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time一and in 81 percent ofthose cases, transfers took place from higher-to lower-status universities. Then the team imitated the broadcasting of ideas using an infectious disease model and found that the size of an idea "epidemic" (as measured by the number of institutions that published studies on an idea after it originated) depended on the status of the originating institution. The findings were published online last October in E PEP J Data Science.The researchers9model suggests that there "may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in terms of universities,Clauset says. DeDeo agrees. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places, he says: "You can learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don't know because they're not even paying attention.,, 63.The word "this""this" in paragraph 2 refers to the fact that .A.the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spreadB.the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintainC.good ideas from less important institutions lack influenceD.scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless64.The case of some hires in paragraph 3 is used to indicate .A.the statistics the epidemiological model provides for the researchersB.why the originating institutions transfer their new findingsC.how they carry the ideas from lower- to higher-status institutionsD.the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects65.Researchers such as Clauset are very much concerned about .A.losing quite a number of great and creative thoughtsB.missing the opportunities of getting more well-knownC.misusing the epidemiological model in scientific research areasD.having difficulty in finding more proper science department hires66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.

So why don't we feel time-rich? 67One is that we earn more, so time feels more expensive. Then there's the way we've come to see busyness as a status symbo important people are busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to that the flood of incoming emails and texts, along with the endle ocean of possibilities, and it's easy to see where time goes.A second factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others are doing, making us anxious.68 This fools us into thinking we're being more productive with our work time, so we try to do it with our leisure time, too. Wh we're playing with our kids, we check Facebook. When we're hanging out with one group of friends, we post pictures to show another. This is something sociologists call "polluted time'.our devices.

Yet the evidence suggests the opposite; free time is mor difficult to enjoy than work."

Person-to-person payments could be made online using a shared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial organization. Each transaction could happen very quickly. The shared network of computers would also serve as the means to confirm those transactions safely.

the Vatican Museums.He has seen the splendor of the Sistine Chapel and admired the textures of ancient Egypt.“Yes,I’m a key keeper.But the doors I open are the ones to the history of art,and it’s here that exists the biggest and most beautiful history in the world,”says Crea.The Vatican Museums have(31)______collections since the15th century,including tens of thousands of artworks and artifacts spanning prehistory to modern times.The most(32)______ one of them,according to Crea,is Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.He recalls being(33)______ with emotion the first time he accompanied the former head key keeper to open the chapel more than20years ago.Since then,he’s witnessed people of all faiths(34)______at the chapel’s loveliness,something the church believes is increasingly vital during

best fits the context.Mathematics has an image problem:far too many people are put off by it and conclude that the subject just isn’t for them.But one of the biggest problems is how maths is___41___,as cold and dry.I have a different approach which is to relate abstract maths to questions of politics and social justice.I have taught fairly maths-phobic(恐惧)art students in this way and have seen their attitudes___42___.They now believe maths is___43___them and can genuinely help them.At a basic level,maths is founded on logic,so when I am teaching logic,I use examples from ___44___events rather than the old-fashioned type of problem.Instead of studying the logic of a statement like“all dogs have four legs”,I might discuss the statement“all immigrants are illegal”.But I do this with specific mathematical structures,too.___45___,I teach a type of structure called an ordered set,which is subject to an order relation such as“is less than”.We then study and ask which functions are“order-preserving”.A typical example might be the function that takes a(n)___46___number and maps it to the number obtained from multiplying by2.We would then say that if x<y then also2x<2y,so the function is order-preserving.___47___,rather than sticking to this type of dry mathematical example,I introduce issues like privilege and wealth.If we think of one ordered set with people ordered by status,we can make a function to another set where the people are now ordered by___48___instead.If someone has a higher status,are they automatically wealthier?We can also ask about working hours and ___49___:if someone works more hours,do they___50___earn more?The answer there is clearly not.My approach is controversial because,traditionally,maths is supposed to be___51___and apolitical(与政治无关的).I have been___52___by people who think my approach will be off-putting(令人烦恼的)to those who don’t care about social justice.However,the dry approach is off-putting to those who do care.In fact,I believe that all academic disciplines should address our most important issues.Abstract maths is about making thorough logical arguments,which is linked to everything.I don’t___53___that students agree with me about politics,but I do ask that they construct thorough arguments to back up their thoughts and develop the crucial ability to analyze the logic of people they___54___.Maths isn’t just about numbers and equations(方程式);it is about studying different ___55___systems.We can apply it to balls rolling down different hills,but we can also apply it to pressing social issues.I think we should do both,for the sake of society and to be more inclusive towards different types of students in maths education.41.

A.legal B.operating C.logical D.grading Section BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One summer night in a seaside cottage,a boy felt himself lifted from bed.Then,with the swiftness of a dream,he was held in his father’s arms out onto the nearby beach.Overhead the sky blazed with stars.“Watch!”Incredibly,as his father spoke,one of the stars moved.In a line of golden fire it flashed across the astonished heavens.And before the wonder of this could fade, another star leaped from its place,then another,plunging towards the restless sea.“What’s this?”the child whispered.“Shooting stars.They come every year on a certain August night.I thought you’d like to see the show.”That was all:just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful.But,back in bed,the child stared for a long time into the dark,knowing that all around the quiet house, the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars.Decades have passed,but I remember that night still,because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night’s sleep.No doubt I had all the usual childhood entertainment,but those are forgotten now. What I remember is the night of the shooting stars,and the day we rode in a caboose(列车末尾的职工车厢),the telegraph we made that really worked,and the‘trophy table’in the dining room where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found—anything unusual or beautiful—snake skins,seashells,flowers,arrowheads...I remember the thought-provoking(引人深思的)books left by my bedside that pushed back my horizons and sometimes actually changed my life.My father had,to a marvellous degree,the gift of opening doors for his children,of leading them into areas of splendid newness.This subtle art of adding dimensions to a child’s world doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of time.It simply involves doing things more often with our children instead of for them or to them.56.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph4mean?A.The child was still immersed in the beautiful scenery just now.B.The child was too frightened to fall asleep because of darkness.C.The child wanted to listen more to the music about falling stars.D.The child felt grateful to his father for what he showed him.57.All the things the author remember from his childhood are__________.A.unusual and novelB.dangerous and demandingC.strange and uncommoncational and thought-provoking58.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Parents should interfere more with their children’s learning.B.Parents should push their children to try to do everything on their own.C.Parents should devote energy to exploring new things for their children.D.Parents should encourage children to be curious and explore new things in life.59.What’s the best title for this passage?A.Limitless knowledgeB.Father,the hero of my lifeC.Curiosity aroused that nightD.The unusual things in my life(B)What’s UP?Here,let’s take a look at some excellent book reviews for this month.Dead Good Detectives Jenny McLachlanThis is the story of a12-year-old girl called Sidwho loves playing horrorgames with her friends.Butwhen she

Duncan Lorimer reported finding a new kind of astronomical event.It was a brief stream of energy so powerful that it could reach Earth from a galaxy billions of light-years away.He called it a fast radio burst(FRB).This remarkable find,if real,could make huge contributions to the study about universe.He predicted there would be many more–but that year,he spotted just one.It’s not unheard of for one event to kick off a whole new field of scientific inquiry.Still it’s rare.When Lorimer’s paper came out in the journal,it was not surprising that many were skeptical.“Sometimes,what seems like a remarkable scientific discovery turns out to be an error in the data,”some commented.Later,a young graduate student was assigned the task of finding more ing the same radio telescope Lorimer once used,she found more bursts that just looked like FRBs.But because of the ways they appeared in the telescope data,she was virtually certain that they were some other kind of radio interference and gave them another name:perytons.As years ticked by and no more FRBs were discovered,some astronomers began to conclude Lorimer had found nothing more than an unusual example of one of these perytons.Good news:in2011,there was a report of a second FRB.Four more were found in2013.Bad news:all of them came from the same Lorimer’s radio telescope.But ultimately,in2014,there was a report from another radio telescope.More discoveries started showing up from other telescopes on a somewhat regular basis.At last the conversation about FRBs shifted–from whether they were real to where they came from.Years of research have passed by since then.Now,Victoria Kaspi,a physics professor and principal investigator on the FRB team,predicts that once the more advanced telescopes come online in2024,the location and distance of most FRBs detected can be found out,which will provide“golden opportunities for astronomers to study the large-scale structure of the universe”.Finally,this“unicorn”story came to a somehow surprising end.Several years ago,a team reanalyzed the same data from the radio telescope by which Lorimer found the first FRB.There was one more that they had previously missed.Since then,other teams have analyzed even older data and found FRBs in those datasets too.“They were just sitting there,waiting to be discovered by better techniques,”Lorimer says.63.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in paragraph3?A.Optimistic.B.Curious.C.Supportive.D.Doubtful.64.Why did the author mention unicorns in the first paragraph?A.To suggest that the new scientific discovery was a myth.B.To imply magical creatures may actually exist in the world.C.To symbolize the previously unknown and unseen discoveries.D.To quote an incident that once happened in the field of science.65.Why was it bad news that other FRBs found also came from Lorimer’s telescope?A.Because it might mean the results were not reliable.B.Because they were all found by a young graduate student.C.Because these were given the name perytons and were not real FRBs.D.Because not every astronomer had the same type of telescope as Lorimer.66.What can we imply from this passage?A.It’s possible for just one event to start a new field of scientific research.B.New scientific discoveries can’t be made without advanced research techniques.C.Scientists shouldn’t deny new discoveries even if they lack evidence temporarily.D.Scientists should be careful to distinguish new discoveries from errors in the datasets. Section CDirections:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.Training will ease your annoyance as your pets tend to obey more and behave better.B.Giving them an extra piece of chicken for a job well done is essential for a strong relationship.C.They usually communicate through body language so you need to pay attention to them.D.You should always learn to be patient and accept that there will be a period of adjustment.E.But playtime is still a necessary and effective activity to share fun moments together.F.The Internet is a good place to figure out how you can train them efficiently.Strengthen Bonds With Your New PetWelcoming a new pet can be a magical moment for a lot of families.Unfortunately,many new pet owners struggle to bond with them.The following steps may help.This should go without saying but spending time with your pets can greatly help you form a strong relationship.Pets love to be included in every activity of their humans,whatever the activities are.(67)______________________________Cats love playing with yarn(纱线)balls and fishing pole toys.Dogs are outgoing and usually love playing games with tennis balls such as fetch.So it’s also important to learn what type of play your pet enjoys.Most people forget that training and teaching them tricks is a healthy outlet as well.(68) ______________________________Whether you’re teaching them simple commands like‘sit’or something more complex like‘turn around’or‘bow’,they’re sure to enjoy your company and will love you all the more for your attention,company and praises.Pets also love being rewarded with treats.(69)______________________________Moreover,when they begin to anticipate treats for good behaviour,they are more likely to be on their best behaviour,further making you and your pets grow closer.One more thing to notice is that taking care of a pet can be a wonderful experience and also be quite frustrating.For new pet owners,it can be confusing,especially if you don’t understandwhat your pet needs or wants at any given time.(70)______________________________This might take a day or two,or might take months.But eventually,you will reap what you sow. IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.71.Benefits of Green SpacesWe all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh springweather.It allows your mind to relax and forget about theproblems in everyday life.Studies have commonly shown thebenefits of being around green spaces,including gardens,urbanparks and forests.But did you know that being in contact with these natural surroundings during childhood could positively impact your mental health as an adult?A study by the Institute for Global Health surveyed3,600people from all over Europe.The all-adult study gave participants a questionnaire(问卷)on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood—for example,playing in a garden or riding a bike at the park. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.Volunteers were then given a psychological test,which included a variety of questionnaires and problem-solving activities,to analyze their nervousness and feelings of depression within a four-week period.The results consistently showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure—as did those who attached higher importance to using green spaces.The study’s assistant,Wilma Smith,wrote that the results“show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces for the development of a nature-appreciating attitude and a healthy psychological state in adulthood”.She also stressed the importance of“recognizing the implications of growing up in environments with limited opportunities for exposure to nature”.According to the study,73percent of Europe’s population only has limited access to natural spaces.So we call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.While this study was based in Europe,a lack of green space can affect anyone,anywhere.So remember to make time to expose yourself to nature,as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.凡今天购买这款手机的顾客可享七折优惠。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A new idea called ‘business at the speed of thought’ isquite popular in business world. It makes quick marketing progress, but it also presents a 41 way to run a company. Here’r e the main 42 : The businesses today that will succeed are those able to jump around in high spirits. Chances must be seized immediately and decisions made quickly. Everyone needs more immediate answers, and the window of expected 43 to any questions has dropped from weeks to days even to hours.The problem with this way of thinking is that too often such quickness comes at the expense of 44 understanding thedetails of a situation. Sure, the networked society allows usto gather information within a short time, but does it really45 up our ability to make better decisionsHow do you balance the 46 for speed with sharp and correct thinkingThat’s the 47 on the minds of a lot of people these days, including Future Shock author, Alvin Toffler, who studiesthe idea in our cover story. It’s also a 48 of a new study by Kepner Tregoe. It reports that 77 percent of managers believe that during the past three years the number ofdecisions they made each workday has increased. But 85 percentof those same people say the time given to making thosedecisions has either 49 or stayed the same. Result:Speed kills. Different opinions are not shared. Other choicesare 50 too easily. Aims never seem to be clear. 51 , good records aren’t kept about how successful decisions are made. If your company really does well, the Kepner report suggests 52 the decision-making process and figuring out what you did right. Study your successes, as well as your failures.Fast decision-making is a necessity sometimes-no question about that．But decisions are only as good as the 53 go into them. By that measure, many of today’s decisions are weak and could 54 some companies at the knees. Business maybe keeping the quickness of 55 , but it’s going to be torn to pieces if managers are not thinking with great care and patience.41. A. numerous B. clear C. dangerous D. bright42.

That’s what I learnt from my new and special friend. On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we d idn’t know.I looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug” I laughed andenthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young innocent age” I asked jokingly. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she replied.After class we walked to the Students Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake there. We became instant friends.Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience w ithme. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends whenever she went. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football dinner. I’ll never forget what she taught us.“There is a huge difference bet ween growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for thin gs we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets．”She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics（歌词）and live them out in our daily life. At the year’s end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. 56.

The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move.Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.Similar patterns exist throughout the .. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair is equivalent to about two months.Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly equivalent to the movement of rain systems.“It’s not good for pinpointing（精确定位）, ” Cerling said. “It’s good for eliminating many possibilities.”Told Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It’s still a substantial area,” Park said,“But it narrows its way down for me.”63. What is the scientists’ new discovery?A. One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.B. Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.C. A person’s hair may reveal where they have lived.D. The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.64. What does the author mean by “You’re what you eat and drink.” inA. Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues.B. Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.C.Food and drink affect one’s personality development.D. Food and drink are similar to one’s existence.65. What is said about the rainfall in American’s West?A. There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.B. The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.C. Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.D. It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.66. What is the practical value of Cerling’s research?A. It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.B. It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.C. It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.D. It helps the police narrow down possibilities indetective work.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.What Is a Dream?For centuries, people have wondered about the strangethings that they dream about. Some psychologists say that this nighttime activity of the mind has no special meaning. Others, however, think that dreams are an important part of our lives.In fact, many experts believe that dreams can tell us about a person's mind and emotions.Before modern times, many people thought that dreams contained messages from God. It was only in the twentiethcentury that people started to study dreams in a scientific way.The Austrian psychologist, Sigmund Freud, was probably the first person to study dreams scientifically. In his famous book,The interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud wrote that dreamsare an expression of a person's wishes. He believed that (67)___________The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung was once a student ofFreud's. Jung, however, had a different idea about dreams. Jung believed that the purpose of a dream was to communicate a message to the dreamer. (68) ___________ For example, peoplewho dream about falling may learn that they have too high an opinion of themselves. On the other hand, people who dreamabout being heroes may learn that they think too little of themselves.Modern-day psychologists continue to develop theories about dreams. For example, psychologist William Domhoff from the University of California, Santa Cruz, believes that dreams are tightly linked to a person's daily life, thoughts, and behavior.(69) ___________Domhoff believes that there is a connection between dreams and age. His research shows that children do not dream as muchas adults. According to Domhoff, dreaming is a mental skillthat needs time to develop.He has also found a link between dreams and gender. His studies show that the dreams of men and women are different.For example, the people in men's dreams are often other men,and the dreams often involve fighting. This is not true of women's dreams. Domhoff found this gender difference in the dreams of people from 11 cultures around the world, including both modern and traditional ones.Can dreams help us understand ourselves Psychologists continue to try to answer this question in different ways. (70) ___________ The dream may have meaning, but it does not meanthat some terrible event will actually take place. It'simportant to remember that the world of dreams is not the real world.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage with no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult thatit’s painfulThis 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 work 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 suchfamiliar 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 ourenergy 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 (鼓起干劲) 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.V.
