ANavigating Border SecurityYou may think what you say on WeChat is your own business, but apparently the Canadian authorities don’t agree. In other words, you need to be fully aware of the items you’re not allowed to bring before you travel abroad.Obscene(淫秽) and pirated(盗版) materialsIn many Western countries, possessing and transporting underage porn(黄色书刊) is considered a serious crime. According to the United States Department of Justice, a first-time offender charged with producing child porn faces fines and 15 to 30 years in prison. The website of UK Visas and Immigration also listed pirated copies of movies and music as illegal, because they infringe upon intellectual property rights. If you’re caught bringing pirated pro ducts into the UK, the products will be confiscated, and you may face prosecution(起诉).Food, animals and plantsAccording to Australia’s Department of Immigration and Border Protection, Australia has strict quarantine laws. Animals from overseas could bring diseases and pests into the country and destroy the local environment.CashThere is a limit of cash you can bring when traveling abroad. According to UK Visas and Immigration,the maximum amount of cash(including bankers’drafts and checks) you can bring into the country is ￡10,000(72,000 yuan). You’ll have to declare it if you’re brining more, or you could face a fine of up to ￡5,000 (46,000 yuan). But if you’re entering the UK from another European Union country, you don’t need to declare your cash, no matterhow much you have.Other itemsCustoms rules vary from country to country. For example, when entering Australia you also need to declare traditional medicines because they may contain endangered plant or animal products. Heritage-related goods, including artworks and stamps, also need to be declared. This is why you should always check the local customs website to make sure of what you can put into your luggage, and of course, your electronic devices.21. Which of the following items may be allowed to bring without declaring when you enter Australia?A. Traditional medicinesB. Pet dogs and catsC. Stamp albumsD. Story books22. What can we know from the passage?A. Travelers should declare their cash when entering the UK from GermanyB. Both the USA and the UK have laws against obscene and pirated materialsC.

Where is the article above probably taken from?A. A travel brochureB. A fashion magazineC. An exhibition guideD. A science reportBSince I was first in China in 2012, my life, and China itself, have developed and changed a lot. My first China interaction was in 2012, when I came here with a friend. We traveled from Beijing to Hong Kong, all in 5 weeks. We had a fantastic time meeting local people, exploring beautiful places and eating delicious food. After this experience travelin g across China and eating local food, I really wondered “How did I live without eating dumplings and eggplant on a weekly basis?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 22 years!As my Chinese improved during my studies I became more independent and more aware of the possibilities of Waimai, or food home delivery. I suddenly noticed the thousands of Waimai drivers zooming across the roads on their motorcycles. On deep, dark Beijing winter days and rainy days, Waimai is like the holy grail and as I enjoyed my take - away dumplings I would think and laugh to myself, “How did I livebefore without being able to get Waimai?” Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 23 years!In mid-2015, I was back in China again for my master's degree. That's when I came across my first Mobike: “Oh, that’s a unique bike and surely it will get stolen soon ”, I thought as I passed on my own black bike. But one week passed and I saw it still there. Then the one Mobike sighting turned into two and three, and soon thousands and then seemingly overnight the streets of Beijing were flooded with orange and yellow wheels. Again, I wondered on how I ever lived without my shared bike account. Well, I guess I did, somehow, for 25 years!China today is a country still steeped in ancient knowledge and custom, yet one that is also bursting with new ideas and changes. Although some things will always stay the same, something else is constantly changing at a pace beyond comprehension. I’m sur e as I continue my life here in Beijing I will be swept up in the next new convenience of life that China’s rapid development is bringing out.24.According to the first paragraph, what impressed the author most might be ________.A.

Chinese ancient wisdom has been replaced by new ideas.B. China is changing steadily and slowly.C. China will always stay as what it was.D. People in China will live a more convenient life in the future.CWhen ordering food only takes a few minutes using a smartphone, it’s only natural that food deliveries have become part of college life. However, a university in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region is trying to put a stop to this trend on its campus.On Nov 1, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages banned food delivery services and disposable food boxes, both to its campus and dormitories.The ban immediately received fierce criticism from the university’s students, as well as internet users. Some complained that the ban made campus canteens very crowded. “There are not enough seats in the canteen, which forces us to eat standing up or squatting,” a student in the university surnamed Tan told Guangxi Television.The crowded canteens also mean that extra time is spent dining, which could have been used to nap during the lunch break. Some even complained that the canteen only provides a few dishes, most of which don’t taste so great.Su Junlv, from the university’s student affairs office, explained that the ban was carried out because off-campus food posed safety risks for students. It’s believed that take-away food had created a serious garbage problem, as there were often a large number of used food boxes found in campus garbage cans after students had finished their meals.According to Su, the ban was also brought in to help students develop a healthy lifestyle. “While food delivery services bring convenience, they let students form some lazy habits,” Su told Xinhua. “They spend a whole day in the dorm playing video games, watching TV soap operas and ordering food online.”However, in the eyes of Liu Junhai, a professor at Renmin University of China, there are other approaches that universities could take to improve their students’ meal times. “Universities should explore how to improve the dining experience in the canteens, such as the queuing and variety of dishes,” he told Xinhua.28. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The convenience brought by food delivery.B. The effect of crowded canteens on students.C. A solution to stop students becoming lazy.D. A ban on food delivery in campus.29. In students’ opinion, what would be caused after the ban was carried out?A. It would take students less time to eat in the canteen.B. Students would enjoy various tasty dishes in the canteen.C. Some students may have their meals without seats in the canteen.D. Students would have a longer nap during lunch break.30. According to Su Junlv, the ban is intended to ________.A. tell the students all off-campus food is unhealthy.B. rid the campus of used food boxes.C. force students to spend less time on entertainment.D. improve the dining experience in the canteens.31. What can we infer about Liu Junhai’s attitude to the ban?A. NegativeB. SupportiveC. IndifferentD. SkepticalDThat people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the First-night, effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect.Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved.The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did.Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with amix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.32. What do we learn about Dr. Y uka Sasaki doing her research?A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphinsD. She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns.33. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.B. She recruited (招募) 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.C. She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains.D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.34. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment.C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli (刺激物).D. She compared the responses of different participants.35. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.B. They tended to recognize irregular beeps as a threat.C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
