LOUIS, MO JULY 4, 20165I eat a guacamole sandwich everyday on pumpernickel bread and it’s not only delicious but Ifeel it’s healthy and I have gained NO weight.1. What is the passage intended for?A. describing a product in detailB. sharing comments about a bookC. advertising a book for saleD. giving advice on food and recipes2. What advice can you find in Recipes & Remedies?A. how to go on a diet to keep healthyB. how to keep fit through good dietC. how to use food to cure cancerD. how to take drugs to relieve pains3. Where does the passage come from?A. A webpageB. A guideC. A reviewD. A newspaperBA couple of weeks ago, my grandfather was explaining his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” The following day, as I tried to complete my day’s work, I happened to notice a bumblebee (大黄蜂) on the skylight (天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.It is not only time that we tend to underestimate –we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged – even at a task you thought was simple – because that is part of life.If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable. In middle school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule (计划) best suited for myself. Yet each time, I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be easy, I found mysel f with a more positive attitude and improved results.Of course, there should be preparations made to account for expenses or time. Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.4. Why did the author mention his experience of removing a bee?A. To share something unforgettable with us.B. To lead us to what the author learned from it.C. To show the unexpected costs it caused.D. To tell us how easy it is to waste our time.5. Why do things often turn out to be different from what we expect?A. We often don’t take time seriously.B. We tend not to have enough money.C. Unexpected things can happen.D. It is easy to feel challenged.6. According to the text, what does the underlined phrase “beat ourselves up” mean?A. to hit or kick ourselves hard, many timesB. to blame ourselves too muchC. to encourage ourselves to work hardD. to give up ourselves7. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article?A. To encourage people to make greater efforts.B. To explain how to make preparations.C. To tell us what to do when something gets in our way.D. To persuade us not to expect things to be easy.CDue to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), people all over the world are wearing masks to reduce the risk of infection. It’s a very simple but incredibly effective method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries. Let’s take a look at some mask-related history.1st centuryIn that era, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even eventually died of respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses. To address this problem, Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), a Roman philosopher and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder (膀胱) skins to stop dust from being breathed in. Although primitive, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.16th centuryEarly inventions did not stop with Pliny. Many centuries later, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), proposed using a woven cloth dipped in water over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals.19th centuryThe design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent (注册专利) a protective mask for miners, which was a milestone in face mask history. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz-Radecki designed a simple mask composed of one layer of gauze (纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. That was the first recorded use of a surgical mask.20th centuryIn 1910, an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”. Made of two layers of surgical g auze, it could be wrapped around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple to manufacture (制作) and had a low production cost. Modern explorationWith several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu, and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve to better protect its wearer. For example, in 2012 when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can filter out this fine particulate (微粒) matter, became highly popular. In the future, masks will continue to improve, hopefully so will the habits of humans.8. According to the text, why were masks invented?A. To reduce the risk of infection.B. To protect miners from dust.C. To indicate patients with respiratory illnesses.D. To protect workers from harmful chemicals.9. What was considered a milestone in face mask history?A. Using a woven cloth instead of animal skins.B. Getting a patent on protective masks for miners.C. The invention of surgical masks in 1897.D. Using more than one layer of surgical gauze.10. “Wu’s mask” grew popular around the world because _____.A. it could be used multiple timesB. it was simple for people to wearC. it was cheap and easy to manufactureD. it could better protect people from smog11. What is the text mainly about?A. The evolution of masks.B. The benefits of using masks.C. A comparison of different masks.D. The roles masks played at different times.DDuring the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (测定序列) the DNA of the virus. But they didn’t keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.Due to this openness, pharmaceutical companies across the globe are now able to work at the same time to develop a vaccine (疫苗). “There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different a ge groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. “The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient (有适应力的) we’ll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future.”Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.This openness in science is going to be even more important in the future. “With climate change, increasing globalization, and population shifts, epidemics will not go away, and might even become more frequent,” Dan Barouch, a Harvard Medical School professor, told Harvard Magazine.He said, “No one group can do everything. It has to be a coordinated approach. But I do think that the world has a greater sense of readiness this time to develop knowledge, drugs,and therapeutics (疗法) very rapidly.”Every epidemic is indeed a crisis, but it can also be a learning opportunity. One redeeming (补偿的) factor of the COVID-19 outbreak is that it is helping science adapt for the better.12. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Coordinated efforts to fight the epidemic.B. Something positive we’ve learned from the epidemic.C. The significance of openness and sharing of scientific knowledge.D. What needs to be done to prevent future epidemics.13. What is the positive effect of the research team from Fudan University placing the genetic sequence of the virus onto GenBank?A. They alerted the world to the danger of the virus.B. They helped remo ve people’s fear of the virus.C. They showed the world how to produce a vaccine.D. They invited collective efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine.13.What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Remdesivir in the text?A. To introduce a possible cure for the epidemic.B. To compare the treatment of Ebola and the novel coronavirus.C. To prove that many drug companies readily share their discoveries.D. To show that the novel coronavirus will soon be contained.14.Which of the following would Dan Barouch probably disagree with?A. Epidemics will be less frequent thanks to scientific development.B. The world is becoming better prepared to deal with epidemics.C. No single group can fight against the epidemics independently.D. The increase in globalization may worsen future epidemics.第二节（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。

Grammar and V ocabularySection A（10分）Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Nook’s arrival, Good or Bad?Booklovers, most of them, will tell you (21)_______ a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend-the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel (22)_______ you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to have their latest literary enthusiasm (23)_______ (press) on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, (24)_______ (use) any device with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is (25)_______ on the lower part of the device there’s a color touch screen, (26)_______ allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.(27)_______ exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi, arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection (28)_______ (read) whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, (29)_______ (turn out) to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, (30)_______ the Nook is successful it might take sales from the company’s bookstore, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobsSection B（10分）Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” But parents can’t handle it when teenagers put this 31 into practice. And now technology has become the new field for the age-old battle between adults and their freedom-craving kids.Locked indoors, unable to get on their bicycles and hang out with their friends, teens have turned to social media and their mobile phones to 32 with their friends. What they do online often mirrors what they might otherwise do if their mobility wasn’t so 33 limited in the age of helicopter parenting. Social media and smart phones apps have become so popular in recent years. Teens want the freedom to explore their 34 and the world around them, so they jump online.As teens have moved online, parents have projected their 35 onto the Internet, imagining all the potential dangers that youth might face--from violent strangers to cruel pees.Rather than helping teens develop strategies for discussing public life and the potential risks of interacting with others, fearful parents have focused on tracking, monitoring and 36 . These don’t help teens develop the skills they need to manage complex social situations, assess risks and get help when they’re in trouble. It gradually weakens the learning that teens need to do as they come of age in a technology-soaked world.The key to helping youth handle 37 life isn’t more restrictions. It’s freedom-plus communication. Famed urban theorist Jane Jacobs used to argue that the safest neighborhoods were those where communities 38 took interest in and paid attention to what happened on the streets. Safety didn’t come from keeping everyone indoors but from a 39 to watch out for one another. The same is true online.Teens need the freedom to wander the 40 street, but they also need to know that caring adults are behind them and supporting them wherever they go.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A（15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In modern society loneliness can be seen as a social phenomenon and people can experience loneliness for many reasons. It is a very common, though normally temporary, 41 of a breakup, divorce, or loss of any importantlong-term relationship. In these cases, loneliness may result both from the loss of a specific person and from the __42__ from social circles. The loss of a significant person in one’s life will typically initiate a grief response; in this situation, one might feel lonely, even while in the company of others.Loneliness may also result from any socially disruptive (破裂的) event, such as moving from one’s home town into 43 communities leading to homesickness. Loneliness can also occur in places with low population densities in which there are comparatively few people to 44 .There are many different ways used to 45 loneliness. The first step that most doctors recommend to patients is therapy. Short term therapy typically occurs over a period of ten to twenty weeks. During therapy, emphasis is put on understanding the cause of the problem, 46 the negative thoughts, feelings, and attitudes resulting from the problem, and exploring ways to help the patient feel connected. Some doctors also recommend 47__ therapy as a means to connect with other sufferers and establish a support system. It may take several attempts before a suitable anti-depressant medication is found. Some patients may also develop a resistance to a certain type of medication and need to 48 periodically.Another treatment is animal-assisted therapy. Studies and surveys indicate that the presence of animal companions such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs can 49 feelings of loneliness or depression among some sufferers. Beyond the companionship the animal itself provides there may also be increased opportunities for 50 with other pet owners. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention there are a number of other health benefits associated with pet ownership, such as lowered blood pressure. In addition, some other alternative approaches may include exercise, dieting, etc, which many patients find have a 51 effect on relieving symptoms. Results of a study also suggest that correcting maladaptive social cognition (认知) offers the best chance of 52__ loneliness.Nevertheless, loneliness can sometimes play an important role in the 53 process. In some people, temporary or prolonged loneliness can lead to notable artistic and creative expression, for example, as was the case with poet Emily Dickinson, and numerous musicians. This is not to imply that loneliness itself ensures this creativity, __54 , it may have an influence on the subject matter of the artist and more likely be present in individuals 55__ creative activities.41. A. type B. concern C. consequence D. evidence42. A. withdrawal B. absence C. disappearance D. presence43. A. informal B. uncertain C. relevant D. unfamiliar44. A. turn to B. interact with C. long for D. share with45. A. release B. observe C. monitor D. treat46. A. reversing B. directing C. measuring D. pursuing47. A. long-term B. sightseeing C. patient D. group48. A. quit B. evolve C. switch D. exercise49. A. confirm B. protest C. enhance D. ease50. A. socializing B. interfering C. comparing D. coping51. A. historic B. restorative C. decisive D. permanent52. A. promoting B. enhancing C. reducing D. striving53. A. creative B. musical C. artistic D. poetic54. A. however B. therefore C. rather D. otherwise55. A. restricted to B. engaged in C. concerned about D. altered bySection B（22分）Directions: Read the following three passage. 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)For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic, Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn’t involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed abouther problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’” says Margaret.“I just wish I had learned to say that when I was 17.”56. Which of the following is true of amusics?A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them.B. They love places where they are likely to hear music.C. They can easily tell two different songs apart.D. Their situation is well understood by musicians.57. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one whoA. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system58. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish thatA. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC. her problem could be easily explainedD. she were able to meet other amusics59. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics’ strange behaviours.B. Some people’s inability to enjoy music.C. Musical talent and brain structure.D. Identification and treatment of amusics.(B)Do you want to get home from work knowing you have made a real difference in someone’s life? If yes, don’t care about sex or age! Come and join us, then you’ll make it!60. What does the underlined part mean?A. You’ll make others’ lives more meaningful with this job.B. You’ll arrive home just in time from this job.C. You’ll earn a good salary from this job.D. You’ll succeed in getting this job.61. The volunteers’ major responsibility is to help people with learning disabilities _______.A. to get some financial supportB. to properly protect themselvesC. to learn some new living skillsD. to realize their own importance62. Which of the following can first be chosen as a volunteer?A. The one who can drive a car.B. The one who has done similar work before.C. The one who has patience to listen to others.D. The one who can use English to communicate.(C)About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children, whatever their background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular.Some thought it was unfair to minority children. Through the past few decades such testing has gone out of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it.However, paradoxically (自相矛盾地), just recently a group of black parents filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in California claiming that the state’s ban on IQ testing discriminates (歧视) against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test. (They believe, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating children for special education classes.) The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially his original decision.And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligence tested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even promoting such testing. If a child of anycolor or group is doing poorly in school it seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.What school and family can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not discriminative to evaluate either a child’s physical condition or his intellectual level.Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time. The same fluctuation (起伏) back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to do so.And then the style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and social agencies felt that black children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what the best procedures are. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed.As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any child’s intellectual level, the better for the child in question.63. Why did the intelligence test become unpopular in the past few decades?A. Its validity was challenged by many communities.B. It was considered discriminative against minority children.C. It met with strong opposition from the majority of black parents.D. It robbed the black children of their rights to a good education.64. The author believes that intelligence testing _______.A. may ease racial discrimination in the United StatesB. can encourage black children to keep up with white childrenC. may seriously worsen racial discrimination in the United StatesD. can help black parents make decisions about their children’s education65. The author’s opinion of child adoption seems to be that _____.A. no definite rules can be prescribedB. white families should adopt black childrenC. adoption should be based on IQ test resultsD. cross-racial adoption is to be advocated66. Child adoption is mentioned in the passage to show that _______.A. good will may sometimes complicate racial problemsB. social surroundings are vital to the healthy growth of childrenC. intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areasD. American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issuesDirection: In the article, 4 sentences have been removed. Choose the most suitable ones from the list A-AC to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There are TWO which do not fit in any of the gaps.Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and keeping important information. But do not overdo it 67 An effective daily routine can help you to go through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by 9 a.m. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for.On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people’s anxiety can be passed on to you, and you may suffer from panic.Once in your seat, simply stop for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. 68 When you first look at the test paper, spend a shot period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying attention to key verbs such as “discuss”, “compare” and “evaluate”. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to deal with, begin by attempting the one you think is you strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper.69 If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling-or anything else-that will not allow you to be distracted.Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to discuss the exams you’ve taken with other students. 70IV. Summary Writing（10分）71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no morethan 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical good points. They are often more comfortable and more lasing than civilian clothes.Primary fact among the argument against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.V. Translation（15分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.在宇宙中有许多肉眼看不到的星星（visible）73.直到期末考试临近，迈克才意识到他的复习时间不够了。
