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.Shanghai opened its first community fridge, with the aim of cutting food waste and helping residents in need. It is located on Puxiong Road, Putuo District.The fridge ___21___（house）in a community reading room for the elderly and can be used from 8:30 am to 11:30 am and 1:30 pm to 5 pm. The stock yesterday included boxes of milk, yogurt and pastries.

Five volunteers take turns to be responsible for accepting food and cleaning the fridge.“I think this is a brilliant idea, and would be even better if it can spring up around the city,”a 79-year-old resident Zhu Guoxin told Shanghai Daily.“However, I hope in the future individual residents can also be able to put their leftovers or other edible snacks here. Just ___25___ the scheme in Spain.”26______ ______ the shared fridge, the community and Shanghai Oasis Public Service Development Center are also working on a food bank scheme ___27___（serve）low-income families as well as providing medical treatment in the community.“Packaged food that can be preserved for a long time will be put in food bank to serve residents most in need,”said Ella Zhang, the program director with the public service center, “___28___ cooked food or fresh food will be sent to the sharing fridge”. She said the Green Food Bank project first started in 2014 and operated from about 50 spots in Shanghai, with food supplied mainly by local farms, food manufactures, retailers and restaurants.“Now some five-star hotels ___29___（contact）us to share their leftovers too.”The project in Puxiong Community is sponsored by Changshou Funds of Changshou subdistrict government. If successful, the program will be spread to the ___30___ 34 communities in the subdistrict.Section BDirections：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Would you be happier if you spent more time discussing the state of the world and the meaning of life--- and less time talking about the weather?It may sound counterintuitive（违反直觉的）, but people who spend more of their day having deep discussions and less time engaging in small talk seem to be happier, said Matthias Mehl, a psychologist at the University of Arizona who published a study on the ___31___.“We found this so interesting, because it could have gone the other way — it could have been ‘Don't worry, be happy’ — as long as you surf on the ___32___ level of life you're happy, and if you go into the essential depths you'll be unhappy,” Dr. Mehl said.But, he ___33___, deep conversation seemed to hold the ___34___ to happiness for two main reasons: both because human beings are driven to find and create ___35___ in their lives, and because we are social animals who want and need to ___36___ with other people.“By engaging in meaningful conversations, we manage to impose meaning on a(n) ___37___ pretty messy world,”Dr. Mehl said.“And interpersonally, as you find this meaning, you bond with your interactive partner, and we know that interpersonal connection and integration is a core ___38___ foundation of happiness.”Dr. Mehl’s study was small and doesn’t ___39___ a cause-and-effect relationship between the kind of conversations one has and one’s happiness. But that’s the ___40___ next step, when he will ask people to increase the number of deep conversations they have each day and cut back on small talk, and vice versa.Ⅱ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections：For each blank in the following passages 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.Robert Frank, an economist at Cornell, believes that his profession is restricting cooperation and generosity. In the U.S., economics professors give __41__ money to charity than professors in other fields. Economics students in Germany are more likely than those from other majors to recommend an overpriced plumber (水管工) when they are paid to do it. Economics majors tend to rate __42__ as “generally good,” “correct,” and “moral” more than their peers.Does studying economics change people? Maybe not. It could be self-selection: students who already believe in self-interest are __43__ to economics. But this doesn't exclude the possibility that studying economics pushes people further toward the selfish extreme. By spending time with like-minded people, economics students may become __44__ that selfishness is widespread and reasonable -- or at least that giving is rare and foolish.“As a business school professor, these effects worry me, as economics, __45__ every aspect of our lives, is taught widely in business schools, providing a __46__ for courses in management, finance, and accounting.” says Frank.If economics can __47__ pro-social behavior, which is central to the well-being of people or society, what should we do about it? A change in economics and business __48__ is suggested. Courses in behavioral economics, which considers the role of “social preferences” like __49__, fairness and cooperation, are required for students of economics major. In fact, economics courses not involving some behavioral economics are considered both an ___50___ education and a poor preparation to be a practising economist. Also, __51__ width, economics majors are required to take courses in social sciences like sociology and psychology, which place considerable emphasis on how people are __52__ about others, not only themselves. __53__, within economics courses, we should do a better job __54__ the principle of self-interest, which involves anything a person values -- including helping others.Not until then may the prophecy (预言) by Nobel Prize-winning economist and philosopher Amartya Sen be __55__.

A. claiming B. defining C. overlooking D. recalling55. A. broken B. predicted C. challenged D. fulfilledSection BDirections：Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them in passage A, B, and C. 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）It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for“Six days shall you labor and do all your work”was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for string (线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them.”On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.There never was such a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,”I thought confusedly.It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”“I can’t go!”I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling, “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breczc. Do you remember that day we flew kites?”I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The looked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on.”I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of – what dark and horrible things?“Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember --- no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?”“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”56. By“we were all besides ourselves,”the writer means that they all _____.A. felt confusedB. went wild with joyC. looked onD. forgot their fights57. What did the writer think after the kite-flying?A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.B. They should have finished their work before playing.C. Her parents should spend more time with them.D. All the others must have forgotten that day.58. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing?A. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.B. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.59. The youngest Patrick Boy is mentioned to show that _____.A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memoriesB. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his lifeC. childhood friendship means so much to the writerD. people like him really changed a lot after the war（B）A team of U.S. and Ethiopian scientists has discovered the fossilized（变为化石的）remains of what they believe is humankind’s first walking ancestor, a hominid（原始人）that lived in the wooded grasslands of the Horn of Africa nearly 4 million years ago.The bones were discovered in February at a new site called Mile, in the northern African region of Ethiopia. They are considered to be 3.8-4 million years old. The fossil include a complete tibia（胫骨）from the lower part of the leg, parts of a high-bone, ribs, vertebrae（脊椎）, a collar-bone, pelvis（骨盆）and a complete shoulder-blade. There also is an ankle bone which, with the tibia, proves they walked upright.The bones are the latest in a growing collection of early human ones that help explain the development history of man.“Right now we can say this is the world’s oldest bipedal---an animal walking on two feet and what makes this important is because what makes us human is walking upright,”Latimer said.“This new discovery will give us a picture of how our 4-million-year-old ancestors walked upright. It opens the door on a poorly known period and it will help us understand the early periods of human evolution（演化）before Lucy.”Paleontologists（古生物学家）before discovered in Ethiopia the remains of Ardipithecus-ramidus, a traditional part with important ape characteristics dating as far back as 4.5 million years but there is some argument over whether it walked upright on two legs. Scientists know little about A. ramidus. A few skeletal bones suggest it was even smaller than Australopithecus afarensis, the 3.2 million-year-old species known by the nearly complete“Lucy”fossil.Scientists are yet to classify the new find, which they believe falls between A. ramidus and A. afarensis. The fossil would help join the two parts. “It is a once in a lifetime find ,” latimer said.60. The passage mainly tells readers that ______.A. a bone was discovered in EthiopiaB. there is a once in a lifetime find in EthiopiaC. remains discovered in Ethiopia may be the oldest walking hominidD. human evolution before Lucy is completely known61. Which of the following can prove whether humans can walk upright?A. The thigh-bone and ribs.B. The ankle bones and tibia.C. The tibia and vertebrae.D. The pelvis and shoulder-blade.62. Which of the following shows the right order according to the timeline?（C）There was a time, not that long ago, when women were considered smart if they played dumb to get a man, and women who went to college were more interested in getting a“Mrs. Degree”than a bachelor’s. Even today, it’s not unusual for a woman to get whispered and unrequested counsel from her grandmother that an advanced degree could hurt her in the marriage market."There were so many misperceptions out there about education and marriage that I decided to sort out the facts," said economist Betsey Stevenson, an assistant professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. So along with Wharton colleague Adam Isen, Stevenson calculated national marriage data from 1950 to 2008 and found that the marriage penalty women once paid for being well educated has largely disappeared."In other words, the difference in marriage rates between those with college degrees and those without is very small," said Stephanie Coontz, a family historian at Evergreen State College. The new analysis also found that while high-school dropouts had the highest marriage rates in the 1950s, today college-educated women are more likely tomarry than those who don’t finish high school.Of course, expectations have changed dramatically in the last half century. "In the 1950s, a lot of women thought they needed to marry right away," Coontz said. "Real wages were rising so quickly that men in their 20s could afford to marry early. But they didn’t want a woman who was their equal. Men needed and wanted someone who knew less." In fact, she said, research published in 1946 documented that 40 percent of college women admitted to playing dumb on dates. "These days, few women feel the need to play down their intelligence or achievements," Coontz said.The new research has more good news for college grads. Stevenson said the data indicate that modern college-educated women are more likely to be married before age 40, are less likely to divorce, and are more likely to describe their marriages as "happy". The marriages of well-educated women tend to be more stable because the brides are usually older as well as wiser, Stevenson said.63. Not long ago, it was believed that women went to college in order to ___.A. find a husbandB. get smart in the marriage marketC. learn to be a good wifeD. marry someone with a bachelor’s degree64. According to the first paragraph, what grandmother whispers to her granddaughter is usually______.A. taken as a warningB. regarded as out-of-dateC. given voluntarilyD. accepted unwillingly65. What did Betsey Stevenson find about well-educated women in the past?A. Their marriage rate was higher than at present.B. Their marriage rate was lower than at present.C. Their divorce rate was higher than at present.D. Their divorce rate was lower than at present.66. The effect of education on marriage has been found to be _____.A. favorableB. insignificantC. long-lastingD. extensiveSection CDirections：Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. EachFigure skating as we know it got its start in the mid-19th century. At that time, an American named Jackson Haines combined dancing and skating for the first time. Americans did not accept Haines’ technique, so he moved to Vienna, Austria, where he was an immediate success. Some 50 years later, Haines’ style finally caught on in the United States.___67___ Events for pairs and singles first appeared at the London 1908 Summer Games. Ice dancing joined the Olympics in 1976, when the Games were held in Innsbruck, Austria.In single skating, each skater performs a short routine of required steps. ___68___ The pairs event follows the same format, but with one male and one female together.___69___ But unlike pairs skating, ice dance does not include overhead lifts and jumps. An ice dancecompetition is made up of three parts: one set to music that has a required rhythm and tempo, and two parts set to whatever music the ice dancers choose.A panel of nine judges scores the quality of each figure skating performance, but only seven out of nine scores are used. To determine which judges’ scores will be used, there is a random draw before each event. Skaters are given a grade for each step, jump, spin, or any other element that is part of their routine. They also receive an “overall”score for each performance. ___70___第Ⅱ 卷Ⅱ.

第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
AAn Oceans VacuumThere’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas-and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes 62-mile-long floating barriers that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.Easy-On ShoesIn 2012, Mathew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is o go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.”Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $130.An Airport for Drones(无人机)As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: what kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.21.What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum?A. It can be a money-saverB. It can grow year by yearC. It can tear plastic into piecesD. It can be put into wide use soon22.What do we know about Nike?A. It offers free shoes to the disabledB. It is designing new shoes frequentlyC. It provides customer-friendly servicesD. It responded to Matthew’s request passively23.Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”?A. Because road travel there is roughB. Because there are too many dronesC. Because they’re easier to construct than roadsD. Because they are receptive to new technologyBI grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s, on the outskirts of downtown Orlando, Florida. Not far away, a three-story house attracted my eyes.It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother, a small dark place with rules about befriending others. “Don’t. Never, ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.One day, in sixth grade, a black-haired woman was introduced to our class: Mrs. Reese. Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club. She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings. The bell rang, and to my shock, no one went up to Mrs. Reese. I was under strict orders to go straight home. But that day, I stayed. I asked Mrs. Reese when the club started.“We could begin right now if you like,”she said with a smile. I felt beautiful. That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house. I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favorite food in Spanish. And I learned, Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons?I wanted to say “Yes”, but Mom’s words held me back.I begged my mother all summer and into fall, well after Spanish Club had dissolved. I wept at night sometimes, so worried that Mrs. Reese and her family would move away.At some point, I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon. I rode out to Mrs. Reese’s house.The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind: We had tea. She painted my toenails red. We made a garlicky picadillo. We spoke in Spanish. In Spanish, my voice was loud and romantic. This is the real me! I remember thinking.My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs. Reese’s house. But four decades later, I still remember that day and the life she showed me, proof of a possible future.24.What kind of family was the author from?A. Hard-upB. Two-parentC. Stress-freeD. Disease-ridden25.Why did the author choose to join the club?A. She wanted to stay longer at schoolB. She intended to comfort Mrs. ReeseC. She was deeply attracted by Mrs. ReeseD. She hoped to befriend the owner of her dreamt house26.The author went to Mrs. Reese’s house .A. with the help of her tearsB. while no one was noticingC. with her mother’s permissionD. just before the lady moved away27.What did the author gain from Mrs. Reese?A. The beauty of SpanishB. The wonder of a new worldC. The power of self-confidenceD. The importance of independenceCEnglish is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first.Or that's what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don't necessarily have the best ideas.If you're shy, you've probably known this for a long time.

CriticalDFrigatebirds seagoing fliers with a 6-foot wingspan, can stay aloft(up in the air) for weeks at a time, a new study has found.Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea, its habits outside of when it reproduces on land aren’t well-known-until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean. What the researchers discovered is that the bird’s flying ability is unbelievable.Ornithologist(鸟类学家) Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tage(标签) on a couple of dozen frigatebirds. When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew."First, we found, 'Whoa, 1,500 meters. Excellent,' " says Weimerskirch, "And after 2,000, after 3,000, after 4,000 meters-OK, at this altitude they are in freezing conditions, especially surprising for a tropical bird.""There is no other bird flying so high relative to the sea surface," he says. "It's the only bird that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud," Weimerskirch says. And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can't land on the water. Since their feathers aren't waterproof, the birds would drown in short order. They feed by harassing other birds in flight until they bring whatever fish they've swallowed back into their mouth and the frigatebird takes it.So in between meals, frigatebirds fly higher... and higher.In one case, for two months-continuously aloft.One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing-flap. Several covered more than 300 miles a day on average, and flew continuously for weeks. They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.32.How did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them?A. CalmB. SurprisedC. HopefulD. Anxious33.According to the text, how can frigatebirds fly so high?A. By flying into a cloudB. With the help of researchersC. Thanks to advanced technologyD. By following other birds into the sky34.What does the underlined word ”they” in the text refer to?A. FrigatebirdsB. Other birdsC. Small fishD. Larger fish35.In what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds?A. When they give birthB. What they feed onC. Their body weightD. Their wing surface area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。

There are plenty of bars scattered around the beach, so be prepared for the crazy parties every night.Ochheuteal BeachOchheuteal Beach is located south of Serendipity Beach , and it's a bit of an improvement from Serendipity Beach itself in terms of the people that go there . Over here, there are bars and pubs, but at night, don't expect wild parties like at the Serendipity Beach area .Otres BeachAll the way down south , near Moat Peam, lies a hidden gem called Otres Beach . This is where you can get your yoga suit on and practice meditation （冥想）. This is the quietest beach in Sihanoukville and it is the least crowded , with very few parties . If your idea of a beach holiday is just yourself and the sun , sea and sand, this place is for you .Koh RongKoh Rong is an island off Sihanoukville that is covered with beautiful sandy beachesTrue relaxation lies at Long Beach, which is located on the other side of the island . Clear water surrounds the beach, and once you get there, you'll be greeted with fine white sand.Koh Rong does n't have any roads, so there are no cars or motorbike ren tals - everything is mostly on foot .（1）_____________________________________________________ Why is Serendipity Beach the most popular with tourists ? ___________________________________A .

At MIT , Reeves quickly found her place in the Departme nt of Aero nautics and Astr on autics (航空航天系).As a junior , Reeves was selected to participate in the GordonMIT Engineering Leadership Program .

So Reeves thinks it's really the sec on dyear stude nts who are guidi ng the firstyear stude nts into how they canimprove as leaders .Reeves has bee n with Wome n in Aerospace Engin eeri ng (WAE) since its begi nning inher sophomore year.

But are we really so easy to fool? According to several studies, the answer is yes: even the most obvious fake news starts to become believable if it’s ___57___ enough times.In the months running up to the US election there was a surge（大浪）in fake news. According to an analysis by Craig Silverman, a journalist, during this time the top 20 fake stories in circulation ___58___ the top 20 stories from 19 mainstream publishers.Paul Horner, a creative publisher of fake news, has said he believes Donald Trump was elected because of him.“My sites were picked up by Trump supporters all the time (i)follo wers don’t fact-check anything –they’ll post everything, believe anything,”he told the Washington Post.Silverman previously ___59___ rumours circulating online in 2014 and found that shares andsocial interactions around fake news articles dwarfed（使…相形见绌）those of the articles that exposed them. According to Silverman, fake news stories are engineered to appeal to people’s hopes and fears, and aren’t ___60___ by reality, which gives them the edge in creating shareable content.You might think you’re immune to falling for these lies, but a wealth of research disagrees. Back in the 1940s, researchers found that“the more a rumour is told, the more ___61___ it sounds.”They suggested this means that a rumour born out of mild suspicion can, by gaining currency, shift public thinking and opinion.This false impression of truth was ___62___ practically in 1977 when researchers in the US quizzed college students on the actuality of statements that they were told may be true or false. The researchers found that simply repeating the statements at a later data was enough to increase the ___63___ of the students believing them.Last year, Lisa Fazio at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee and her team found that students become more likely to believe a statement that they know must be false if it is repeated.“Our research suggests that false news can and likely does affect people’s ___64___. Even if people are conscious that a headline is false, reading it multiple times will make it seem more trustworthy,”Fazio says.Reassuringly, the team found that a person’s knowledge has a large influence over their beliefs, but it’s still a worrying ___65___ given that falsehoods appear repeatedly in our newsfeeds every day.Ⅲ. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections：For each blank in the following passages 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.Why do people go to university? There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become ___66___ to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard, nor would we wish to have many students here who took such a(n) __67__ view of a college career.There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.The most obvious one is to give knowledge—fairly __68__ knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest. But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education, it is __69__ the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your __70__ for many years, and some of those that do will even be proved __71__ by new knowledge.__72__, we can instill(灌输) certain attitudes of mind—a willingness to accept uncertainty, and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind, and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.In addition to these __73__ qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of __74__ time. Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom—in courses in the humanities and the arts. Yet, at least as much __75__ will occur outside the lecture hall—on athletic fields, in music rooms, student theaters, concert halls, and so forth.These are some of the __76__ of a liberal college education as I see them. I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.To begin with, I hope that we will think __77__ about what we want to accomplish here. It would be __78__ for you to set your sights on some limited goal, such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.Second, I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here. There are many problems waiting for your help, and many people who could __79__ your efforts.My final bit of advice. whatever else we do, let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously. However great our problems may seem, however urgent our complaints, they are overshadowed（黯然失色）by the __80__ of countless other people on our planet.66. A. fascinated B. qualified C. determined D. required67. A. optimistic B. strong C. narrow D. sensitive68. A. concentrated B. expanded C. informed D. illustrated69. A. by far B. far from C. free from D. without doubt70. A. memory B. position C. evaluation D. foundation71. A. useful B. essential C. false D. common72. A. Besides B. However C. Therefore D. Somehow73. A. physical B. inborn C. emotional D. intellectual74. A. business B. study C. experiment D. leisure75. A. appreciation B. stimulation C. participation D. exposure76. A. benefits B. aims C. problems D. achievements77. A. broadly B. honestly C. freely D. continually78. A. fantastic B. magic C. tragic D. basic79. A. suffer from B. profit from C. reflect on D. complain about80. A. inspiration B. difference C. ambitions D. difficultiesSection BDirections: Read the following four 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）Waitangi Day is celebrated on the 6th of February every year. It is a public holiday for the entire nation. It is celebrated as a commemoration of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. The Treaty of Waitangi was a document signed between the English settlers and indigenous（本土的）Maori people. When the treaty was signed, it made New Zealand an English Empire and the Maori people had rights to their land. It made the Maori and English settlers one people, with the same rights and ruled by the same people.Waitangi Day is celebrated in many different ways. A formal service of remembrance（纪念）is held at Waitangi, which is in Northland（at the top of the North Island）. It is attended by the Prime Minister, the Governor General（the Queen’s representative）, the Maori Prince and Maori Chiefs and their Whanau（family）.Traditional people would have attended church in the morning and spent time with family and friends, reflecting on the true meaning of the treaty. Now we go to public concerts and festivalswhere you may be able to watch traditional Maori dancing and speeches made by leaders and important people from the community or country. There are also concerts that modern day singers and artist perform at. But many families and friends will simply spend the day at the beach soaking up the sun as it is the hottest time of the year.Waitangi Day is special as it is our national day. It marks the day we become one nation not two separate races living on common land. There was a move to call it New Zealand Day but the majority of people chose to still call it Waitangi Day and so the name remains reminding us of our indigenous people.81. What made the Maori people have the same rights with English settlers to their land?A. The invasion of English settlers.B. The Treaty of Waitangi.C. The Prime Minister.D. The Governor General.82. Which of the following is NOT the way for Maori people to celebrate Waitangi Day?A. A formal service of remembrance.B. Attending concerts.C. Watching modern Maori dancing and speeches.D. A day spent at the beach.83. Why is Waitangi Day so special in New Zealand?A. Because it reminds Maori of their indigenous people there.B. Because it is a public holiday.C. Because the local people can enjoy themselves in many ways on that day.D. Because it makes two separate races share the common land.（B）84. What does the word“irritate”in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. annoyB. remindC. amuseD. impress85. Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in?A. Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport.B. Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse.C. Marriott Detroit Airport. and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis.D.

The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in.（C）During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists（女权主义者）showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, andlocal women's organizations assembled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence（通信）, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States; one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians.Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of the writing about women conformed to the "great women" theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on "great men." To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies. or else important women produced their autobiographies.

When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, emphasize inter-dependence. When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on the surroundings as well as the object.Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr. Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that is played to American strengths. In another, they estimated the line’s le ngth relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asian.The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brain were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention lit up more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult --- estimating the line’s size relative to the square. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also –estimating the line’s length without comparing it to the square. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into east-west differences.In one study, for instance researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize（使内化）it. But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory, memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills.92. According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to _____.A. more emphasize independent thinkingB. always focus more on their surroundingsC. focus more on the context as well as the objectD. think of Westerners as highly independent entities93. We know from the passage that people’s brains will be more active when _____.A. the task is much easierB. the blood flow is trackedC. people begin to choose colorsD. the task is more difficult94. What do the findings of the experiments mentioned in the passage indicate?A. They indicate that culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave.B. They show that Easterners and Westerners have great differences in perceiving the world.C. They suggest that people’s habits of perception can be changed in different cultures.D. They make it clear that Easterners and Westerners lay emphasis on different things.95. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. Easterners prefer collectivism to individualismB. East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independenceC. It took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpowerD. Americans will change their habits of perception when they’re in BritainⅣ.

A30 November 2017,Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic defeated Scottish Andy Murray 6-1,7-5,7-6in the Australian Open 2017 final to win the Grand Slam event (大满贯) for the sixthtime.

Djokovicafter the match said,” Andy, you are a great champion and friend. I’m sure you’ll have more opportunities to figh t for this trophy”. Murray congratulated Djokovic, saying “I feel like I’ve been here before. Congratulations, Novak. Six Australian Opens is an incredible feat(业绩). The lastyear has been incredible. Good job.” He also left a message for his wife Kim Sears, “I’ll be on the next flight home.” The couple is expecting a baby.Yesterday, Jamie Murray, Andy Murray’s elder brother，won the Australian Open Men’s doubles with Bruno Soares.

These things have become such an integral part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked on.In the same way, within a decade no one will notice the web. it will be just there. It will be a way of life. People will use it for shopping, education, entertainment and communication. They will invent new uses for it.A change like this is generational. Old people have to learn something about new things outside their everyday life, while kids who grow up with a new technology simply treat it asgiven.In the future, everyone’s business card will have an email address. Every lawyer, every doctor and every business-from large to small-will be connected. On the other hand, the variety of activities on the web will be broadening at an amazing rate. You can find all kinds of interesting materials on the web.Many sites will have a huge traffic flow. People will trade the time they now spend reading the paper or watching TV for time spent surfing the web. Americans, particularly young Americans, will spend less time in front of the TV, and more on the web.We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten. The web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008 and probably before.24. The web will be an integral part of life because ________.A. we will use it to do lots of thingsB. it will replace the TVC. we won’t notic e it is thereD. it will help us to lead better lives25.

The writer is ________ about the development of web.A. unsureB. fearfulC. confidentD. crazyCThere are many places to go on safari(观赏野生动物) in Africa，but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana’s O kavango Delta must rank a& one of the world’s most exciting wildlifejourneys.Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twicea day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face，it is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals，too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate as they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun’s rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses,the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.28. The underlined word “They” in the second paragraph refer to ________.A. Flooded watersB. Wildlife journeysC. Safari campsD. Unique rides29. What does the author find most exciting about a horseback safari?A. Seeing and feeling the real African life.B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.C.

Wild and romantic.B. Slow and peaceful.C. Hungry and thirsty.D. Active and excited.31. The author introduces the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by ________.A. following space orderB. following time orderC. making classificationsD. giving examplesDMore and more people read an iPad in bed, reserved as a place for sleep, before they go to sleep.Charles, a professor from Harvard Medical School% and hi& colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad f6r four hours before sleeps Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.When the people read on the iPad as compared to the paper books-they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.The researchers conclude in today5s journal article that because of the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and teenagers, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Charles and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note” “Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (过滤)short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.32. In Charles9 experiment, the group of people were asked to ________.A. sit in a row And receive the strict testsB. have their sleep patterns observed all nightC. read a paper book and an iPad at the same timeD. have their blood tested per hour during the trial.33. The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to ________.A. feel less sleepy and tired in the dayB. fall asleepmore easily afterreadingC. become less energetic the next morningD. have a lotmore melatonin secretion34. The special software recently developed can ________.A. remove the blue light from your devices completelyB. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelengthC. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-readingD. be used in all the e-things widely and safely35. Which of the following can be best served as the tide of the passage?A. No e-reading in bed before sleepB. New software for night e-readersC. Wrong behaviors before bedtimeD. No games on iPad in bed第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
