You get a selfie．There is no doubt that this photo is yours．But if a monkey takes a selfie，does the camera owner have the right to decide how to use it？Recently，this question has caused a problem between Wikimedia Foundation，a non-profit organization，and British wildlife photographer David J．Slater．In 2011，Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia when a macaque （猕猴）got hold of one of his cameras．"They were quite naughty，jumping all over my equipment，" Slater told The Telegraph，"and it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button．" The result was hundreds of monkey selfies．The best of images was a female macaque grinning toothily into the lens．This week，the grinning monkey selfie returned to the news when Wikimedia refused Slater's request to take the photos down from Wikimedia Commons，a website that is run by the organization and offers free images．According to Wikimedia，anyone who downloads the monkey selfie，or any of the millions of images on the site，can copy and use any works here freely as long as they follow what the author says．The question that arose here was whether Slater，who had not held the camera，set up the shot，of pressed the shutter （快门），could be considered the photographer of the monkey selfie．Wikimedia's position on this was clear：as the work of a non-human animal，this photo has no human author who owns the copyright．Only authors of creative works，like a piece of writing or a song，own copyrights．In terms of photos，US copyright law says whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the image produced，which means that if tourists ask you to take a photo of them，and you happen to hit the shutter button at the exact moment that Justin Bieber，a Canadian singer，made faces behind them，you，as the photographer，would have the photo's copyright and sell it．The tourists，who own the camera on which the photo was taken and asked you to take the photo don't get the right to use it without you allowing them to．All this has been complicated by the appearance of surveillance cameras （监控摄像头），smart phones，and large scale photography projects （批量摄影项目）for which assistants often press the shutter button to produce works whose copyrights belong to their boss．Slater seems to be thinking along these lines．He says that buying the cameras，spending thousands of pounds to transport himself to Indonesia，and allowing the monkeys to "steal" his cameras make him the author of the image，regardless of who pushed the button．"In law，if I have an assistant then I still own the copyright，he told the "Today" Show．"I believe in this case，the monkey was my assistant．"But if one is to believe his own telling of the monkey stealing his camera，Slater didn't ask the monkeys to take the selfies and finally took the camera away．If that seems unfair，think about this．If a person left her laptop in a cafe，and a poet picked it up，opened up a word-processing program，and typed out a poem which turned out to be the best poem of this generation，could she ask for much more than her laptop back？14.The monkey selfie，taken in 2011，returned to the spotlight because ______ ．A. Slater allowed people to download the photo for freeB. Slater allowed Wikimedia Commons to download the photo free of chargeC. Wikimedia Commons refused to pay Slater any money for the photo on the websiteD. Wikimedia Commons refused to take the photo down from the website despite Slater'srequest15.According to US copyright law，who might Wikimedia think owned the copyright ofmonkey photo？______A. Slater．B. Wikimedia．C. The monkey．D. No one．16.The author mentioned Justin Bieber and some special cases to show that ______ ．A. whoever pressed the button would have the photo's copyright in any casesB. only the famous singer would have the copyright to have the image producedC. only the owner of the camera would have the copyright of the photo even if he didn'ttake itD. whoever pushed the button would have the copyright but in some special cases thingswere different17.From the last paragraph we know that the author ______ ．A. supports WikimediaB. doesn't show his attitude at allC. shows great sympathy to SlaterD. agrees with neither Wikimedia nor SlaterBAdvertising is first journey marketing．Your only goal in advertising is to show enough gold to get people to want to be a prospect （期望）．Forget about selling them anything．Then how do you show them the gold？Keys to effective advertising are as follows．Talk to one person，and call his / her name．On a crowded Manhattan street，elbow-to-elbow with a sea of people，I still heard someone speak in a conversational voice - "Mark．" I turned my head around．Of course he was talking to someone else，but it still caught my attention．You need to speak to one person，and call his / her name．In marketing，the next best thing to a personal name is your Who and What．For example，"Golfers" = who "have knee pain affecting their swing？" = what．Educate them in a helpful way．If you have room，take the time to explain one point that will help them with the problem they are facing．For smaller ads you can just point them towards a web page where you want to educate them about something helpful．For instance，"Most pain is actually caused by stress．Stopping the stress means decreasing or stopping the pain．Right now，just notice your knee pain．See if you can notice where your legs and hips feel tense，and breathe into the tension．As it relaxes，see how the pain feels．" If you have more space，you can go into more details．Offer a trade：their contact information for something valuable．"Of course，your knee pain isn't gone completely．This is just a clue．If you'd like a free article with illustrations on how to decrease knee pain and help your swing，just leave your contact information and you will be given an additional golf swing tip every week．" You can just follow this example．Finally，don't ignore design．Keep it simple．In a loud，overcrowded world，simplicity and straightforwardness have the best chance of being noticed．Use plenty of white space，easy-to-read front （字体），and avoid complicated patterns．Besides，you can try Robin Williams （not THAT Robin Williams）book，TheNon-Designer's Design Book，Maybe you can learn something from it．Have fun with your advertising!18.Which of the following is a tip for advertising successfully？______A. Call one's name whenever meeting with someone．B. Keep in mind that advertising is first journey marketing．C. Pay attention to design and keep it complicated if possible．D. Educate your potential customers about something helpful．19.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the passage？______A. The golfer's knee was hurt and he can't play golf any more．B. The golfer can't swing because of the knee pain and he needs treatment．C. The golfer's knee pain was caused by stress and we should help him stop the stress．D. The golfer can't play golf any more and we'll speak to him and offer him some tips．CFantasy literature is fantasy in written form．Historically speaking，the majority of fantasy works have been literature．Since the 1950s however，a growing part of the fantasy genre （流派）has taken the form of video games，music，painting，and the like．It is difficult to define the precise "beginning" of fantasy literature，as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial．On the whole，the genre，as a distinct type，began to become visible in the Victorian times，in the works of writers such as William Morris，Lord Dunsany and George Macdonald．Some commentators declared that the South African-born，English professor of philology，J．R．R．Tolkien，was influential to the mass-popularization of the fantasy genre，with his hugely successful publications - The Hobbit，and The Lord of the Rings．Tolkien himself，though，was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths - particularly Beowulf - but it was after his work that the genre began to receive the name，"fantasy"．J．R．R．Tolkien's close friend C．S．Lewis，author of the The Chronicles of Narnia，also an English professor interested in similar themes，was also connected with popularizing the commercial success of the fantasy genre．Outstanding authors in the genre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly．In recent years，the rate of female-to-male authors in a typically-stocked bookstore has skyrocketed，with female authors surpassing the volume of the male ones．Fantasy has been famous from other forms of literature by its style．The fantasy world requires，like any genre，appropriate language，arid that language can vary．In various forms of fairytale fantasy，even the villain's （坏人）language would be inappropriate if vulgar （粗俗的）．Famous fantasy author Raymond E．Feist considered his genre to be one where "ordinary people" were placed in extraordinary situations，and writing about what would happen．20.How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage？______A. Five．B. Six．C. Seven．D. Eight．21.The underlined word "skyrocketed" in the third paragraph means ______ ．A. rise rapidly and suddenlyB. drop rapidly and suddenlyC. rise slowly and steadilyD. drop slowly and steadily22.This passage is mainly about ______ ．A. the background of fantasy literatureB. some famous works about fantasy literatureC. the origin and its popularity of fantasy literatureD. some outstanding authors of fantasy literature三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共20.0分）Usually it is the children，not the parents，who are unwilling to spend their evenings practicing spelling and learning times tables．But a Canadian couple have just won a legal (23) to free their children from homework after successfully arguing that there is no clear (24)that it improves academic performance．Shelli and Tom Milley，two lawyers from Calgary，Alberta，(25)their highly unusual case after years of(26) to make their three children do school work out of the classroom．After a long war with their eldest son，Jay，now 18，over his homework，they decided to do things (27) with their youngest two，Spencer，11，and Brittany，10．And being lawyers，they decided to make it (28)．It took two years to(29) the Milleys' Differentiate Homework Plan，which ensures their youngest two children will never have to do homework again at their (30)school．Thetwo-page plan，(31)by the children，parents and teachers，stipulates （约定）that "homework will not be used as a form of (32) for the children"．(33)，the pupils promise to get their work done in class，to come to school (34)，and to revise for tests．They must also read daily and practice their musical instruments at home．"It was a (35) homework battle every night，" Shelli told Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper．"It's hard to get a weeping child to(36)math problems．They are tired．They shouldn't be working a second (37)．" She then wondered，"Why did we let our family (38)through that stress？If we don't want it all，we shouldn't have to (39)it．"Two years ago，Shelli began (40)studies on homework，most of which suggest that，particularly for younger grades，there is no clear (41) between work at home and school performance．Working with the staff at St Brigid Elementary Junior High School，she formed a homework committee．When no firm changes resulted from the committee，the couple began negotiating the legal document that (42) the matter．"We think it's a parent's right to choose what's in our children's best interests，" said Shelli．"But we're grateful the school did the right thing．"23.

example，if you passed an exam，the self-serving would lead you to believe that it was because you studied hard．If you failed，on the other hand，you might believe it was because the teacher did not explain thesubject correctly，the classroom was too warm or your roommate kept you up all night before the exam．Social psychologists describe this phenomenon as self-serving bias （自利性偏差）．A number of factors have been shown to influence the self-serving bias．Generally，older adults make the internal attribution，that is，credit themselves with theirsuccess．Men are more likely to make the external attribution，meaning they tend to blame the outside force for their failure．Often when a person is sad，this kind of bias may be opposite：they will attribute positive results to the outside help or even luck，and blame themselves when bad things happen．Experts suggest that while this bias is quite widespread in the western culture including the U．S．and Canada，it tends to be much less frequent in the eastern culture including China and Japan．Why？Individualist cultures such as the U．S．place greater stress on the personal achievement and self-respect，so protecting the self from feelings of failure is more important．Collectivist cultures，on the other hand，are more likely to attribute the personal success to luck and failure to the lack of talent．However，there are some situations where the self-serving bias happens lessoften．Some research has found that people in close relationships，whether the romantic relationship or friendship，tend to be more modest．Your friends or your partner，in other words，would remind you when a bad situation might be partly because of your own doing．Although the bias can mean avoid the personal responsibility for one's action，in many cases，it is a defense mechanism that protects a person's self-respect．By attributing positive events to personal characteristics，people get an increase in confidence．By blaming the outside force for failure，people make themselves believe they don't need to be responsible for the failure and thus protect their self-respect．Another advantage of this bias is that it leads people to persevere even in the face ofdifficult situations．An unemployed worker may feel more motivated to keep looking for work if he attributes his unemployment to a weak economy，for example，rather than some personal failure．An athlete might feel more motivated to perform well if hebelieves that his failure during a previous event is the result of bad weather rather than a五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共25.0分）44.In life， we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control．For instance， we can be incredibly nice and Jove someone deeply， and they may not l ove us back． We can work harder than anyone else at our lessons and still not be as exc ellent as our peers． We can eat healthy food， exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes， and still get sick．My first marriage ended in divorce． To me， it felt very unfair． I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother． However， no matter what I did， I could not make the r elationship work．I could have been shut down by that experience． I could have decided that if one person didn't appreciate me as a wife， then no one would． I could have given up． But I k new that I wanted to be married． I knew that I wanted to experience traditional family l ife． So I didn't let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married． And then one day， I met this kind， thoughtful， gener ous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marriage． But that wouldn' t have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage．What I've learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outc ome， but get bad things in return instead．The bottom line is that life is not fair． That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us．As a result， some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life． They can't handle the fact that our efforts don't always get the results that-we expect．But if we let life's unfairness defeat us， we will never receive the beautiful blessings th at life has in store for us．【写作内容】1．以约30个词概括短文内容；2．用约120个词就"生活中处处存在看似不公平的事"这一主题发表你的看法，内容包括以下要点：（1）你对这一现象的看法（至少两点）；（2）假如你遇到这一现象，你会如何处理．【写作要求】1．可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称．【评分标准】概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯．______答案和解析1.【答案】A【解析】答案是A．本题考查时态和语态；主语newspapers和hand

My plan was to sleep for the 5 journey, but the guy next to me looked 6 , eager fora conversation because he had kind eyes.“I had an operation,” I said 7 . “I had breast cancer.” He paused for a moment and said, “What’s wrong with that? Breast cancer is just a small 8 of your life, like goingto college or getting m arried.”I could feel my eyes 9 up with tears.“Don’t think too much of your problem,” he said. “Instead, think about how many people you could help.”I had tears coming down my face, and said, “I can’t 10 I’m crying in front of you.I don’t 11 know you.”“Look, you have a 12 in life,” he said. “You can either 13 your things deep in your pockets and take them to your grave (坟墓), or you can help someone.”I’ve not been a very outgoing person, and except the few people who needed to know, I’d kept my illness 14 .

It’s not the house that is special, but rather the person who lives inside.I met Jenny about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom wishing I was her student. Jenny created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be in that moment. My parents told me I could start school when I was 4. Though, when I turned 4 in the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until September.For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Jenny to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces singing the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I marveled at how she connected with children. For years, Jenny volunteered in my classroom.Over the years we have shared in each other’s ups and downs. Sh e asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers.I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids.I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in green marker. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3.More than 40 years ago, Jenny sat on the carpet at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Jenny sits on her rocking chair, and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen intently because I know I still have more to learn from her.Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected. Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’hearts.41．What is the best title of the passage?A. A small brick house.B. Unexpected friendship.C. A kindergarten teacher.D.

The Swedish furniture company’s “future-living” research lab in Copenhagen is conducting a survey to understand what people want when it comes to smart furniture.AI is now walking into more aspect s of people’s daily lives. Self-driving cars are just around the corner, and AI robots can play and beat the best players of strategy games. As smart home technologies have become more ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical outlets (插座) to smar t smoke alarms are flooding the market. Therefore, it’s not surprising that Ikea would be moving in the same direction.Exactly why people would want their sofa or bed frame to speak to then, track their daily movements or offer help is not yet clear. Thou gh Ikea’s the new survey doesn’t directly answer that question, it does provide a hint of what people would feel comfortable with. Most participants wanted a more human-like form of virtual (虚拟的) assistants, as opposed to one that is more robotic. In terms of the ideal gender (性别) of the assistants, the most popularchoice was neither male nor female. Few wanted a religious form of AI.Just as with human friends, most wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming their own worldview. They wanted an AI assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that could collect data to predict what a person wanted before he or she asked, and that could prevent someone from making mistakes.This is not the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field or futuristic technologies. In addition to wireless charging tables and chainless bikes that never rust, the furniture giant has also pictured smart kitchens that can cook the best meal. To decide on how intelligent you want your next sofa or bookshelf to be, you can take Ike a’s survey online.46．The survey carried out by Ikea aims to ________.A. know peoples need for smart furnitureB. understand future lifestyleC. promote the company’s smart furnitureD. answer people’s questions47．What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Beautiful.B. Common.C. Normal.D. Environmental.48．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The differences between robot-like and human-like assistants.B. What form of AI assistants people want.C. What kind of friends people want.D. The popular robots on the market.49．Most participants in the survey wanted an AI assistant that could ________.A. help them become smarterB. communicate with them without troublesC. have its own worldviewD. deal with their problems in advance50．Which of the following products are from Ikea?A. Smart sofas that can speak to you.B. Smart beds that can track your daily movements.C. Wireless charging car.D. Rustless bikes without chains.For generations, we’ve spent the first third of o ur lives acquiring the college degrees weneed to find jobs. These degrees are the stamps on our professional passports that pave the way for the remaining two-thirds of our journey. However, the future of work won’t be about college degrees, it’ll be abou t job skills.According to the World Economic Forum, over one billion jobs, almost one-third of all jobs worldwide, are likely to be transformed by technology in the next decade. We’ve already seen this happen. Think of the apps you use to shop, track orders and simply stay informed. The stores need to keep them up and running at all hours, day after day, all year round, meaning they need those who can analyze and secure customer data.In these and other similar situations, people are the organizing force making sure technology works the way we want it to. This means a quick rise in new kinds of digital jobs. According to the Forum’s Jobs of Tomorrow report, there’ll be a rapid influx of roles at the forefront of the data and AI economy, as well as new roles in engineering, cloud computing and product development. These jobs need talent with relevant skills, and importantly these skills can be learnt even by those without college degrees.Shifting our focus from degrees to skills will mean transitioning (过渡) to always-on skills-based education and employment organizations that acknowledge not just certification but fitness-for-job and employment as outcomes. In recent years, several companies have focused on continuous learning for the workforce — the trend will become stronger.When it comes to skills, employers look for more than just technical skills. Companies want people with an eye for detail, creative problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset and an ability to handle complex issues. These also are skills that can be learnt. Anyhow, lifelong learners with ever relevant skills will be in greater demand in the workplace. 51．What is the function of Paragraph 1?A. To propose a definition.B. To present an argument.C. To give an example.D. To make a comparison.52．How does technology influence the jobs?A. It calls for higher demands for degrees.B. It makes many jobs less challenging.C. It reduces their dependence on degrees.D. It connects them with degrees closely.53．What does the underlined word “influx” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Increase.B. Recovery.C. Decline.D. Change.54．What will future employers value most concerning their staff?A. Their traditional technical skills.B. Their continuous learning abilities.C. Their certification-based education.D. Their desire to start their own business.55．What might be the best title for the text?A. Skills Are Different From DegreesB. Degrees Will Be More CompetitiveC. Degrees Will Shape the Future of WorkD. Skills Are More Vital for Future WorkAesha Ash spent most of her life ballet dancing and even turned it into a career as a member of the New York City Ballet. As much as she loved to dance, she found the weight of her obligation heavy because she was often the only African American ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员) in her classes and company.After retiring from ballet in 2007. Aesha enjoyed the quiet life for about ten years before she decided to come back to ballet, but in a completely new way. She started The Swan Dreams Project that helps kids in poor areas get into the world of ballet. Aesha set up a one-week camp that invited kids to not only learn the basics of ballet, but also get an introduction to French (since she says it is “the language of ballet”).Her first camp was in 2018 in a poor neighborhood in New York. When she arrived, she was greeted by dozens of students, most of whom were African Americans. She wanted to help kids who otherwise might not have ever had the chance to live in the world of ballet.On the final day of camp, after a week of learning, the students put on a final performance for their family and friends. Before the performance, Aesha said she was nervous that it would be less of a performance and more of a mess, since the campers were all between 8 and 11 years old. Muc h to her surprise, it turned out to be perfect. She said. “When we went out to our first circle and the kids began counting in French and performing the steps they had just learned, my heart melted.”Aesha continues to do whatever she can to help kids learn ballet. She found a way to turn that seemingly unbearable weight she once carried around into something good for kids, as well as for the world of ballet.56．What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

Rather than the standard working day of nine to five, employees are working more flexibly to meet their busy home lives. Advances in technology are ___31___ the very nature of the tasks and skills required in the workplace.To gain a full perspective of how the workplace is set to change over the next decade, employee benefits provider Unum UK ___32___ with The Future Laboratory to survey 3,000 workers across several industries. They also interviewed industry experts and business leaders on topics from artificial intelligence and robotics to the increase of flexible working and an ageing workforce.The result outlines some of the employment changes that businesses can expect to see over the next decade and predicts the ___33___ of two worker cultures which will dominate the workforce. They are the obligated and the self-fulfilled workers.“Obligated workers” refer to people with dependents and the sandwich generation, ___34___ raising children with caring for elderly parents.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Early decision — you apply to one school, and admission is binding (有法律约束力的) — seems like a great choice for nervous applicants. Schools ___41___ a higher percentage of early-decision applicants, which arguably means that you have a better chan ce of being enrolled. And if you do, you’re done with the whole painful process by December. But most students and parents don’t realize that schools have hidden ___42___ foroffering early decision.Early decision, since it’s binding, allows schools to fi ll their classes with qualified students; it allows ___43___ committees to select the students that are in particular demand for their college and know those students will come. It also gives schools a higher yield rate (优秀学生率), which is often used as one of the ways to ___44___ college selectivity and popularity.The problem is that this process effectively ___45___ the window of time students have to make one of the most important decisions of their lives up to that point. Under ___46___ admissions, seniors have to choose which school to attend until May 1; early decision effectively steals six months from them, months that could be used to visit more schools, do more research, speak to current students and alumni (校友) and make a more ___47___ decision.For any given student in America, whatever their levels are, there are a number of schools that are a great ___48___. When students become too fixed on a particular school early in the admissions process, that fixation can lead to ___49___ severe disappointm ent if they don’t get in or, if they do, it is likely that they are now bound to go to a school that, given time for further ___50___, may not actually be right for them.Early decision offers a genuine admissions edge. That advantage goes largely to students who already have ___51___ advantages. The students who use early decision tend to be those who have received higher-quality college guidance, usually a result of coming from a more advantaged background. ___52___, there’s an argument against early deci sion, as students from lower-income families are far less likely to have the admissions know-how (招生诀窍) to ___53___ figure out the often confusingearly deadlines.Students who have done their research and are confident that there’s one school they would b e thrilled to get into should, under the current system, probably ___54___ under early decision. For students who haven’t yet done enough research, or who are still constantly changing their minds on favorite schools, the early-decision system needlessly and prematurely ___55___ the field of possibility just at a time when students should be opening themselves to a whole range of thrilling options.41. A. let in B. turn down C. make up D. give away42. A. dangers B. costs C. assumptions D. purposes43. A. admissions B. joint C. inquiry D. investigative44.

A. occupies B. encloses C. narrows D. exploresSection 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 thepassage you have just read.(A)One recent night, while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal, my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked. “A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.” In other words, ideals —general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others — can often lead us to unreasonable ideas. It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people. We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin, the year of their birth or any other related factors.I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America. The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes: Jewish people were “greedy,” Mexicans were “poorly educated,” and Asians were “good at math.” These labels were taught to us from a young age. They wormed their way into our belief systems, harming how we came to see others. It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true. The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination (歧视).You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people. Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials (千禧一代) being described as “monkish,” or “dad-fashion (复古作风)” which has given the “greasy middle-aged men” tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society. But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.It’s about time that we, as a society, walked away from generalizations and stereotypes. I leave you with the words ofMartin Luther King Jr. from his famous “I Have a Dream” speech: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual, you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.56. According to the passage, how do people tend to judge others?A. By describing people’s personalities.B. By truly getting to know those around.C. By observing their noticeable features.D. By following Martin Luther King’s speech.57. According to the author, a culture of discrimination appears because ________.A. people live in places of various racesB. people are born with unreasonable ideasC. prejudices slightly influence people’s be lief systemD. people usually make judgments without thinking twice58. Examples of “millennials” and “dad-fashion” are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to reveal ________.A. generalizations have unfavourable position in societyB. generalizations have a negative influence on our societyC. generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged ChineseD. generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry59. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A. the common prejudiceB. people’s expectat ion of themselvesC. the groundless worriesD. the famous speech of Martin Luther King(B)When you cross deep water driving too fast, you risk splashing water up into the air box and having it get sucked into the internal engine, which is more common than you think. There are a few steps you should take to clear the water out before you try to start it:1. First, drain the fuel tank, fuel lines and the oil. While it's draining, put a fan on the wiring and dry it out. Remove and clean the carburetor (化油器).2. Take the plugs out of the engine and turn it over to force any water out. Water will come out with the oil. Add oil to the engine and turn it over again, without the plug in. Let it sit for a while, then observe the oil to tell if there's any water in it (it will look like a white milky substance if there is water mixed with the oil). If it's there, drain it again and start over until there is little or no white showing in the oil.3. Now re-install the spark plug, add gas, then try to start the engine. You should have a can of ether (乙醚) handy just in case it's stubborn, but don't use too much. If it starts, let it run for a few minutes without making it work faster.4. After it runs for several minutes, shut it off, drain the oil and change the filter(过滤网). Run it again for a few minutes then shut it off and checks again for milky colored oil. If you have none, you should be good to go.5. If you cannot start the engine, you may have already ruined it and you will probably need to seek a professional to repair it, or, more likely, you'll have to replace it.60. According to the passage, a driver turns the engine over after oil is added to it so that he can _______.A. drain the oil and change the filter without any difficultyB. re-install the spark plug and get ready to start the car againC. make a milky substance which is the mixture of water and oilD. see whether there is any water in the engine by checking the oil61. The underlined word “stubborn” in paragraph 4 may probably means ________.A. reluctant to changeB. hard to switch onC. insufficient to burnD. unable to take in62. This passage may be most helpful to ________.A. a policeman who knows much about car accidentsB. a secretary who has just driven across a small pondC. a driver who is incapable of fixing the car by himselfD. a teacher who is to carry out her routine car maintenance(C)One of the features of a successful business is its ability to employ creativity to constantly push into new territory. Without growth and innovation, businesses eventually fade away. Those with staying power, however, have mastered an often-overlooked factor that allows them to focus on the future clearly: empathy (共情). While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others —empathy in its purest form — is the force that moves businesses forward.Though the concept of empathy might go against the modern concept of a traditional workplace — competitive, the reality is that for business leaders to experience success, they need to not just see or hear the activity around them, but also relate to the people they serve.Some may think they want the results from doggedly (顽强地) pursuing their goals without much thought for other people. This attitude works for some, but at some point — often sooner rather than later — everyone needs to rely on their relationships and established personal and professional connections. These relationships are the product of taking an honest and dedicated interest in others and their businesses. Successful people do not operate alone; each of us needs the support of others to achieve positive results that push us toward our goals. True empathy combines understanding both the emotional and the logical rationale(根据) that goes into every decision.Effectively understanding empathy involves viewing it as each person’s connection to the people and marketplace that surround them. A biological principle known as co-evolution explains that the adaptation of an organism is caused by the change of a related object. Similarly, businesses and their leaders participate in co-evolution-type relationships. Business success depends on empathetic leaders who are able to adapt, build on the strengths around them, and relate to their environment. When businesses fail, it is often because leaders have stopped focusing on understanding their environment and instead stay separated in their own operations. Successful business leaders are receptive to disturbance and aware of what is going on in their organizations both internally and externally.To develop an effective workforce, we must be willing to give in and meet people where they are. This can be frustrating and uncomfortable, particularly when you feel like your position makes more sense or offers a better solution. A critical part of developing empathy, however, is learning to understand, respect and implement another individual’s point of view rather than forcing your own.63. In the author’s opinion, if a company wants to achieve success, it must ________.A. frequently develop in new areasB. always stay pure and powerfulC. concentrate on its future developmentD. value much thought for others64. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. empathy generally depends on logical reasonsB. supports from others help to achieve ambitionsC. competition rarely exists in traditional workplacesD. striving for goals on one’s own is the key to success65. Which of the following examples can best illustrate the co-evolution principle?A. Th e boss is too occupied to realize that his employees’ income is below the average.B. The head of the news agency offers little bonus to the journalists who work extra hours.C. The principal promises flexible working hours after the school moves to the countryside.D. The factory director insists on increasing the output despite the declining market demand.66. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Empathy and Business SuccessB. The Formation of EmpathyC. Empathy and AggressivenessD. The Importance of EmpathySection 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. BAT wanted to take action.B. Those who gave more tended to gain less.C. The data are ridiculous, and no one is really paying attention.D. By nature, educators are taught to give care and support others — not themselves.E. Although respected for its own sake, teaching is under suspicion i n today’s world.F. After all, self-care, good mental health, positive well-being is one of the single best things you can do for yourself.We need to do more to help the teachers who are exhausted and stressedTeaching should not be one of the most stressful jobs in the US. But it is. “The only other profession that comes close to us for stress is nursing —and we still have the numbers… by a lot. ______67______”“Nobody realizes how horrific working conditions are for teachers throughout the country,” Bri ce-Hyde says, an experienced teacher in New York who is part of the national group Badass Teachers Association (BAT).______68______ So they did a national study of teacher working conditions around issues like stress, work-life balance, respect, and more. The results are both surprising — and not. If you’ve been seeing the stories about teacher walkouts and pay inequality, you probably aren’t all that shocked to see these things like: 61 percent of educators find work “always” or “often” stressful; 27 percent of educators said they’ve been threatened or bullied; 86 percent of educators feel disrespected by US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.Teachers are stressed out, and turnover is high. No wonderwe’re seeing more stories about the importance of self-care, classroom burnout, and mental health days for teachers. Yet, self-care doesn’t seem to come easily for people, and this is definitely true for teachers. ______69______We think it’s time to change that, though. So in honor of World Mental Health Day, we are working to change the dialogue about teacher mental health. Below are some of the top challenges people give for not seeking therapy, or even basic self-care, along with possible solutions and workarounds for each one.We hope you share this article widely, giving support and love to your fellow educators. ______70______ And it’s pretty much guaranteed to help you do what you set out to in the first place — be a good teacher.IV. 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.Online Pharmacy (药店): A Foreseeable TrendOnline pharmacies may replace corner drugstores in the future, which would be of benefit to all of us. Sadly, current Federal Drug Administration (FDA) restrictions prevent many Americans from gaining access to the medicines they require online. Fortunately, online pharmacies offer these drugs and provide patients with more treatment options at lower prices. Those calling for the restrictions are wrong. Online pharmacies are crucial to numerous people.While some drugs sold online aren’t FDA-approved, customers shouldn’t be prevented from buying them. Many of the herbal remedy (草药) online pharmacies offer have been usedfor hundreds of years, especially in Asian countries, and they have strong safety records. Other medicines may come from foreign countries, but they aren’t harming the people who use them in their own countries. Take depression pills as an example. It has been used safely for many years in France and other European countries, yet it’s just now being tested in the U.S.Nowadays, just getting in to see a doctor seems to take forever, not to mention the time and money to get tests done and await the results. Thanks to the Internet, customers now know more about available medicines than ever before and are therefore able to take them without having to consult a doctor. The Internet, after all, is filled with information about all kinds of drugs. Much of it has even been written by doctors and pharmaceutical companies themselves.Another issue to consider is money. Health care costs in America are rising every year, and pharmaceutical companies are making billions. Online pharmacies typically sell their drugs at lower prices than hospital pharmacies and corner drugstores. Consumers shouldn’t be blamed for seeking cheaper alternatives and refusing to line the pockets of already wealthy companies and stores.V. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 这场因无视规则引发的事故值得我们深思。

Gardening changed how I see myself as a disabled woman. When I started gardening in 2018, I didn’t know anything about plants, let alone how to grow things we can eat.

The thought of taking care of plants in a wheelchair every day made me feel 3 .

Noticing my interest in gardening, my neighbors in the community 5 offered me advice and support. Under their careful 6 , I managed to pull up the weeds and watered my plants on my own. Finally, I was so proud to eat the tomatoes I grew and even shared some with neighbors. They tasted like summertime.Gardening has 7 how I see other parts of my life. As a disabled woman, I fear being seen as a 8 and struggle to ask for the things I need. Gardening helped me normalize the fact that I have needs. I don’t think my plant is a heavy load because it needs more nutrition. I don’t 9 it for getting insects and not being able to fight against them.

Unexpectedly, they saw an elderly man grasping for breath in the street. They tried to call the police and ambulance service, but their phones w ere not w orking, due to netw ork problems.Before the Polish man became unconscious, the children kept him calm w hile they flagged dow n( 招停) apassing driver. The children used w ords they had picked up from their Polish classmates to translate the inj ured man’s answ er to the driver ’s questions.Gary, 10, and his six-year-old sister, Lily, stayed w ith the man w hile Thymus and Ow en, both 11, led the ambulance to the spot w here he lay. Soon the man w as taken to hospital.The fantastic four children w ho came to the aid of the elderly man deserve the high est respect for their quick think ing and courage in an emergency situation. They are a credit not only to themselves, but to their families and their school. And it is great to be able to hear such a positive story about young people. What is not so positive about th is story is the fact that several adults apparently w alked by w ithout stopping tohelp. This seeming indifference to an emergency situation is a well-noted phenomenon w hich psychologistssometimes refer to as“the bystander effect”. Research suggests that w hen a group of people w itness an emergency,people are lik ely to assume that somebody else w ill intervene and they feel that the burden of responsibility is lifted from their shoulders.Perhaps the answ er to this sort of thing is to introduce a “Good Samaritan” law. This already exists in France and places, a legal responsibility on people w ho w itness an emergency situation to help out as long as they can doso. This certainly seems to remove any doubt about w ho bears the burden of responsibilit y for offering assistance—everybody!24. What can w e learn about the elderly man?A. He spoke Polish w ith the children.B. He fell from his bike and got injured.C. He w as taken to hospital by a passing driver.D. He recovered consciousness in the street.25. In Paragraph 3, the author mainly .A. expresses his anger at several adultsB. offers his special thanks to the driverC. gives high praise to the four childrenD. show s his great sympathy for the man26. The underlined w ord “intervene” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. be curiousB. go onC. get involvedD. give up27. In France, if an emergency happens to someone, .A. offering help to him is required by lawB. people have the right to leave the sceneC. others must get permission before helping himD. the w itnesses w ill be punished if the rescue failsCWhenever w e see a button, w e w ant to press it because w e know that something w ill happen. This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell. But s ome buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience t o w ait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts ’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US－the doors w ill not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s w hen the Americans w ith Disabilit ies Act w as passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people w ith disabilit ies could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift ri ders, the buttons aren’t completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,” said Ellen J. Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard Un iversity. Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don ’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crossw alk buttons don’t live up to their names either. Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer controlled traffic sign als w ere introduced.But psycholog ists found it interesting that even w hen people are aw are of these litt le “w hite lies”, they still continue t o push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be w orth the effort.28. What is the author ’s purpose in w riting the text?A. To describe different fake buttons.B. To explore the functions of fake buttons.C. To analyze various habits of pushing buttons.D. To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.29. What can w e learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America?A. They w ere designed for a sense of control.B. They w ork w hen people press them hard.C. They never speed up the door-closing process.D. They take the safety of the disabled into account.30. What can w e infer about pedestrian crossw alk buttons?A. They help computers w ork faster.B. They can make people feel better.C. They can control the traffic signals.D. They help pedestrians cross safely.31. Which may be the best title for the passage?A. Buttons in the USAB. Buttons Alw ays Lie。
