The red carpet, which will be televised live before Academy Award ceremony, presents a great opportunity for a designer to reach an audience that expands ____24____the fashion setting. The Lawrence dress received about 40 million mentions on various social media.One way of estimating the monetary benefits of having a standout dress on the red carpet is to compare how much a brand would otherwise spend on commercial advertising during the same time. ____25____Lawrence had only 75 seconds of solo camera time for her Oscar acceptance speech, Dior had to pay more than $4 million for a commercial spot of the same duration on similar occasions. And this didn't include the time ____26____(devote) to Lawrence and her dress on the pre-show televised red carpet. Lawrence, 23, had an advertising contract with Dior. ____27____the group’s deal with Lawrence affected its sales was clearly stated in its annual financial report. That year, the group clothing section’s profits ____28____(total) 165 million euros, up 26 percent from the previous year.Heston, the founder of a publicity firm, ____29____success stories include introducing Jimmy Choo shoes and designer Saab to Hollywood, believes that the Oscar red carpet is today dominated by established luxury brands.

Robots could ____31____ people in highly competitive games and then quickly destroyed their human competitors.AI long ago mastered chess, the Chinese board game Go and even the Rubik's cube, which it managed to solve in just 0.38 second.Now machines have a new game that will allow them to ____32____ humans: Jenga, the popular game in which players ____33____remove pieces from an increasingly unstable tower of 54 blocks, placing each one on top until the entire structure would ____34____.A newly released video from MIT shows a robot developed by the school’s engineers playing the game with surprising accuracy. The machine is equipped with a soft gripper(夹子), a force-sensing wrist and an external camera, allowing the robot to detect the tower’s ____35____ the way a human might doUnlike in purely recognitive tasks or games such as chess or Go, playing the game of Jenga also requires mastery of physical acts such as pushing, pulling, placing, and arranging pieces. It must ____36____ interactive physical operation, where you have to touch the tower to learnhow and when to move blocks.Imitating it is rather difficult, so the robot has to learn in the real world, by working with the real Jenga tower. Recently, a relevant research was published in the journal Science Robotics. Researchers say the robot demonstrates that machines can learn how to perform certain tasks through actual touching instead of relying heavily on visual ____37____. That physical ____38____ is significant, researchers say, because it provides further proof that robots can be used to perform ____39____ tasks, such as separating recyclable objects from landfill trash and assembling consumer products.In a cellphone assembly line, the felling of any component is coming from force and touch rather than vision. To become an accomplished Jenga player, the robot did not require as much repetitive practice as you might imagine. Hoping to avoid reconstructing a Jenga tower thousands of times, researchers developed a method that allowed the robot to be trained on about 300 games. Researchers say the robot has already begun facing off against humans, who remain _____40_____ players—for now.【答案】31. I. 32. D33. B 34. K35. E 36. A37. J 38. F39. C 40. GIII.

You have systemic lupus. he said matter-of-factly."Lupus, "he continued, "is an auto-immune disease and ….” I remember certain details but mostly I remember him talking about children. “Children are no harm. But c hildbirth would jumpstart additional symptoms that could be life threatening. You already have two kids anyway.”As I got up to leave, shaken and drained, he said his parting words, “I would discourage any further research. There is no cure and nothing can prevent its progression.”Still, I did research lupus and its symptoms tiredness and joint pain—were both consistent with what I was experiencing. And eventually some major organs could be affected, causing shutdown and possibly death.I studied and found out that echinacea had a record in making immune system stronger. I decided that along with the plant I would strengthen my mindset by immersing myself in my family with my one-year-old son and three-year-old daughter.After another visit, I decided never to go back to Dr. Stubs. How could one endure repeatedly hear desperately words coming from an emotionless mouth even though they were truth? The years passed. When I would feel tired and achy I pulled support from my children and their laughter.Finally, after eight years, I went to Dr. Kirstein who was recommended by a friend. She stood there holding my hand and looking into my eyes warmly."So, let’s talk a little.”Instantly my defenses were down. Before I knew it, she had me running on and on about my children, my husband, my life and dreams. I told her about all the meaningful activities I was involved in, those things I might have never done without the disease.After several follow-up tests, and greater research into my family history, Dr. Kirstein came to conclusive answer. I did not have systemic lupus. There must be something wrong with the initial tests 8 years before.I didn't know whether I should jump for joy or scream because I had been living the last eight years in fear of a fatal disease. But then I realized that I had been living every day, not so much in fear, but happiness Even day was a gift and I knew it.56. Dr. Strubs warned the author against having more children because _____.A. The process of giving birth put her life in danger.B. Taking care of children will gradually worsen her disease.C. Her disease will threaten the health of her children.D. She already has enough children.57. Why did the author stop seeing doctor Strubs after two visits? .A. Because she not qualified to treat her disease.B. Because he recommended Dr.Kirkstein to her.C. Because his cold attitude upset the author.D. Because she suspected his diagnosis about her disease.58. How did the author deal with the disease?A. She calmly waited for major organs to shut down.B. she took effective medicine regularly to fight the disease.C. She turned to Dr. Kirstein to get cure for the diseaseD. She tried to strengthen immune system and drew strength from family.59. Why did the author think every day in the past 8 years was a gift?A. Because systemic lupus was no longer a deadly disease.B. Because she made every day valuable in spite of diseaseC. Because she received a gift every day from her familyD. Because she only occasionally felt pain and tiredness.【答案】56. A 57. C 58. D 59. B(B)While faking and fierce looks are among animals great defenses, many species know that everyone runs from a big stink(臭气)too.Vulture(秃鸳)Vultures, are street sweepers that feast on the rotting flesh of dead animals, which benefits us by ridding our highways and landscapes of animal bodies and the bacteria they might carry. When vultures feel threatened they vomit, and the smell of vomited-on dead bodies puts of most predators. Throwing up allows the vulture to fly away more quickly-and the vomit can hurt the aggressor's eyes and face.Opossum(负鼠)In some ways opossums have it easy. In order to become “dead", they don’t have to fax anyone a death certificate. They just lie there with their tongues hanging out with the smell of dead flesh, sometimes for hours, effectively convincing potential predators they can find a much fresher meal elsewhere. Even if they keep getting attacked, they won't move any more than a human statue until the threat has passed.Hoatzin(磨雉)Hold your nose and meet the hoatzin, a bird of distinctions, not the least of which is that it smells like fresh cow shit. The animal mostly eats leaves and it's the only bird known to digest by fermentation, like a cow. This process is what causes its smell and has earned it the nickname the “stink birdMillipedes (千足虫)Millipedes are tricky. For starters they look wormy. Their name is deceptive, too: Their legs number about 750. Their major defense is to curl up into a ball. They, though, also release a harm eyes, and leave a horrible smell on their attackers.Sea Hare(海兔)The graceful sea hare is plain in taste in the first place, so it's not the most popular dish in the seafood chain. Nonetheless this type of sea creature has a pretty creative smell-related defense that is almost the opposite of its smelly companions on this list. The sea hare gives out a slimy, purple ink, the substance which makes food less palatable to predators.Researchers using lobsters(2-f)as model predators found that the sea blocks the lobstersreceptive mechanism. In other words, the sea hare gives its attacker the equivalent of a stuffy nose so they don't know how appealing it is.60. The sea hare defends itself from predators by ____.A. becoming plain in taste at the discovery of a predatorB. giving out purple ink to make itself invisible to predatorsC. releasing substance to make predators unable to smell itD. giving off smelly gas to try to drive predators away.61. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The vulture carries bacteria so that predators dare not get close to it.B. The opossum fakes its death to avoid being targeted by predators.C. The hoatzin eats cow shit so that it is nick-named as “stink birdD. The gas released by millipede was basically harmless62. The species that enjoys more than one defense mechanism is____.A. vultureB. opossumC. millipedeD. sea hare【答案】60. C 61. B 62. C(C)ARCHAEOLOGISTS(考古学家) GUIDED BY laser images of a remote region of northern Guatemala have discovered 20-foot-high walls, watchtowers, and other evidence that ancient Maya societies had been annoyed by warfare threat over many years. The finds have upended long-established impressions of a civilization that it tamed the jungle and built thriving cities,then declined and disappeared quietly beneath the dense tropical forest.Among the most surprising discoveries was a large stone complex now called La Cuemavilla. Built on a steep ridge, the heavily fortified site included high walls. Moats which serves as the largest defensive system ever discovered in the region.This was surprising says an archaeologist, "because we had a tendency to romanticize Maya warfare as something that was largely ritualized. But the fortifications were seeing suggest an elevated level of antagonism over centuries. Rulers were so deeply alarmed that they felt the need to invest in all these hilltop fortifications. There is an almost visible sense of fear inthis landscape.All these findings owe credit to PACUNAM LIDAR Initiative, a laser survey of some 800 square miles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in northern Guatemala. Using revolutionary Laser technology, the survey revealed the long-hidden ruins of a sprawling pre-Columbian civilization that was far more complex and interconnected than most Maya specialists had supposed.Guided by the new Laser treasure maps, the LIDAR team deployed through the jungle over the past year to conduct hands-on investigations of more than a dozen of the most promising sites-most of which would have been imperceptible without LIDAR."You could walk over the top of a major ruin and miss it, "says an archaeologist who's part of the PACUNA project. But LIDAR picks up the patterns and makes the features pop out with surprising clarity.Three-dimensional maps generated by the survey yielded surprises even at Tikal, the largest and most extensively explored archaeological site in Guatemala. The ancient city was at least four times bigger than previously thought, and surrounded by a massive ditch and fortified base stretching for miles.Archaeologists stress that LIDAR, for all its utility, will never see below the ground or yield d irect dates of occupation. “we still need to dig and hack our way through the jungle, but now we have a very accurate map to guide us.63. How did people think of Maya before the discovery of the defense ruins?A. It was the most advanced civilization in the history of mankind.B. It was long under the threat of large-scale warsC. Its rise and decline were under way peacefullyD. It was finally destroyed by a large-scale war64. The underlined word antagonism is closest in meaning to ____.A. miseryB. revolutionC. population decreaseD. opposition65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The military mechanism found in La Cuemavilla was intended for occupying more lands.B. The new laser technology was mainly used to enlarge the original site size.C. The LIDAR helps to avoid the traditional digging task in site exploration.D. The Tikal site was found to be protected by certain defense works66. The passage is mainly about ____.A. people' s long-time misunderstanding of Maya civilization.B. discovery of Maya military works aided by new explore technologyC. the finding of a big warfare resulting in the disappearance of Maya civilizationD. The various advantages of new technologies in the field of archaeology.【答案】63. C 64. D 65. D 66. BSection 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.Recently, in the quest for a selfie(自拍), a woman climbed over the concrete barrier of a Jaguar(美洲虎) enclosure at Wildlife World Zoo, Arizona. The jaguar ripped into her arm. Bystanders pulled her away before the animal could injure her further. She's fine-so is the jaguar.This isn’t the first time a story of a person acting rudely to get close to a wild animal made headlines. Last year. a man jumped into a lion enclosure at a zoo for a close-up photo. ___67___Multiple tourists in Yellowstone National Park have been attacked by bison(野牛) when they’ve gotten too close for a photo.It's common sense not to get close to wild animals that can hurt you. It's why zoos have barriers -sometimes multiple walls-to keep people separated from animals. Signs posted everywhere state the obvious warning. Keep your hands off the cage."Yet animals have become less real to us, " says an environmentalist. We see exotic animals most frequently in managed settings like zoos. ___68___ People are trying to take advantage of their rarity to show off on social media and ignore their fierceness.Media often normalize interaction with dangerous animals. Seeing a man like "Lion Whisperer" Kevin Richardson regularly play-fight with lions on TV, may send the message that these animals aren't so dangerous after all.Social media are also perfectly positioned to contribute to the rise of animal selfies. Getting likes and comments provide instant satisfaction. Your self-esteem actually gets a temporary boost. To hold onto that feeling, people may go to more and more extremes to showcase the most excitingversions of themselves. It may not be enough to get a photo of a beautiful, dangerous animal from outside a cage. ___69___People' s careless approach can put the animal's safety at risk as well. Zoo animals often must b e killed to protect the person who’s entered their space. In fact, thrill-seekers actively endanger the lives of animals. ___70___with the zoo environment, they take it for granted that animals are there for people, ignoring the fact that animals and humans are both equal existents in the nature.A. The animals, to some extent, become tools to us.B. Although violence against zoo animals is often reported, the issue of animal welfare has aroused little attention recently.C. By taking a selfie, you show that you're part of that experience.D. The comparison between caged animals and wild ones are appealing to people.E. Similar incidents are a regular occurrence in natural settings.F. The common factor is that some people are not respecting animal.【答案】67. E 68. A69. C 70.

Then he did what almost everyone does on a day like this. He got up and went to work. Such is the state of what the human resources industry has come to call presenteeism.Many experts claim that presenteeism is now a bigger problem in the UK than absenteeism and could even help explain the country’s weak productivity growth. A growing number of companies are realizing presenteeism and doing something about it. This generally takes the form of programmes full of once unimaginable sweets: cheap gym membership, veggie salads in the canteen, stand-up desks and the odd massage. of course, there’s nothing against lunchtime dentistry or free workout. They do more good than harm. But such welfares alone won't do much to stop people from presenteeism.The chief reasons why people soldier on have nothing to do with how fit they are. They work for leaner, more stressed companies where dismissals are common. This makes some people worriedthat they will be targeted in the next round of job cut if they have taken a lot of time off. Others worry about troubling stretched colleagues with more work in their absence. How annoying it is to be faced with cold faces when you return to office after two days' rest at home.There is not much to be said for "silly things" like ping-pong tables and office bean bags. The key to dealing with presenteeism lies in training managers to be better at spotting swifly when employees are under too much stress or ill, and dealing with the situation sensibly---putting the sick employee to sick leave although he is reluctant. Of course, work has to be done to eliminate employee's concern about his job prospect thereof.____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________【答案】Presenteeism, going to work when ill, though common in the UK, harms productivity.

Fill in each blank with the word of phrase that best fits the context.From the nation's earliest days, farming has held a crucial place in the American economyand culture. Farmers play an important role in any society, of course, since they feed people.But farming has been particularly 41 in the United States with intensified attention fromcivilians and government as well.Early in the nation's life, farmers were seen as exemplifying economic 42 such as hard work, perseverance, and self-sufficiency. Moreover, many Americans, particularly immigrants who may have never held any land in the country, found that owning a farm was the 43 to enterthe American economic system. They were immediately playing a part in the country ' s economy.The American farmer has generally been quite successful at producing food. Indeed, sometimes his success has created his biggest problem: the agricultural sector has suffered periodic explosions of overproduction that have 44 prices. When the government have to step in and45 the worst of these events.American farmers owe their ability to produce large yields to a number of factors. For one thing, they work under 46—natural conditions. The American Midwest has some of the richestsoil in the world. Rainfall is 47 over most areas of the country; rivers and undergroundwater permit extensive irrigation where it is not.Increasing use of high-quality 48 also have contributed to the success of Americanagriculture. It is not unusual to see today's farmers 49 plows or harvesters. One farmercan manage large lands of farms. Fertilizers and pesticides are commonly used although some environmentalists 50 it. Computers track farm operations, and even 51technology is utilized to find the best places to plant and fertilize crops. US agriculture is among the most advanced in the world.Farmers still fight with forces beyond their control,52. Despite its generally benign weather, North America also experiences frequent floods and droughts. Changes in the weather give agriculture its own economic cycles, often 53 the general economy. When negative factors hit farmers, calls for government assistance are particularly intense. In the 1930s, for instance, bad weather, and the Great Depression combined to push farms over the edgeinto a(n) _________ 54 _ situation.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)After some blood tests, Dr Stubs stood before me, a tall man, but short on personality and sporting a cold expression. You have systemic lupus. he said matter-of-factly."Lupus, "hecontinued, "is an auto- immune disease and •:“ I remember certain details but mostly I remember him talking about children.“ Children are no harm. But c hildbirth would jumpstart additional symptoms that could be life threatening. You already have twokids anyway.”As I got up to leave, shaken and drained, he said his parting words, “ I would discourageany further research. There is no cure and nothing canprevent its progression. ”Still, I did research lupus and its symptoms tiredness and joint pain — were both consistent with what I was experiencing. And eventually somemajor organs could be affected, causing shutdown and possibly death.I studied and found out that echinacea had a record in making immune system stronger. I decided that along with the plant I would strengthen my mindset by immersing myself in my family with my one-year-old son and three-year-old daughter.After another visit, I decided never to go back to Dr. Stubs. Howcould one endure repeatedly hear desperately words coming from an emotionless mouth even though they were truth? The years passed. When I would feel tired and achy I pulled support from my children and their laughter.Finally, after eight years, I went to Dr. Kirstein who was recommended by a friend. She stood there holding my hand and looking into my eyes warmly."So, let ’ s talk a little.Instantly my defenses were down. Before I knew it, she had merunning on and on about mychildren, my husband, my life and dreams.

There must be something wrong with the initial tests 8 years before.I didn't know whether I should jump for joy or scream because I had been living the last eight years in fear of a fatal disease. But then I realized that I had been living every day, not so much in fear, but happiness Even day was a gift and I knew it.56.Dr. Strubs warned the author against having more children because _______________ .A.The process of giving birth put her life in danger.B.Taking care of children will gradually worsen her disease.C.Her disease will threaten the health of her children.D.She already has enough children.57.Why did the author stop seeing doctor Strubs after two visits? .A.Because she not qualified to treat her disease.B.Because he recommended Dr.Kirkstein to her.C.Because his cold attitude upset the author.D.Because she suspected his diagnosis about her disease.58.How did the author deal with the disease?A.She calmly waited for major organs to shut down.B.she took effective medicine regularly to fight the disease.C.She turned to Dr. Kirstein to get cure for the diseaseD.She tried to strengthen immune system and drew strength from family.59.Why did the author think every day in the past 8 years was a gift?A.Because systemic lupus was no longer a deadly disease.B.Because she made every day valuable in spite of diseaseC.Because she received a gift every day from her familyD.Because she only occasionally felt pain and tiredness.56. A 57. C 58. D 59. B（B）While faking and fierce looks are amonganimals great defenses, manyspecies know that everyone runs from a big stink（臭气）too.Vulture（秃鸳）Vultures, are street sweepers that feast on the rotting flesh of dead animals, which benefits us by ridding our highways andlandscapes of animal bodies and the bacteria they might carry.When vultures feel threatened they vomit, and the smell of vomited-on dead bodies puts of most predators. Throwing up allows the vulture to fly away more quickly-and the vomit can hurt the aggressor's eyes and face.Opossum（负鼠）In some ways opossums have it easy. In order to become “ dead", they don’ t have to fax anyone a death certificate. They just lie there with their tongues hanging out with the smell of dead flesh, sometimes for hours, effectively convincing potential predators they can find a muchfresher meal elsewhere. Even if they keep getting attacked, they won't move any more than a human statue until the threat has passed.Hoatzin（磨雉）Hold your nose and meet the hoatzin, a bird of distinctions, not the least of which is thatit smells like fresh cow shit. The animal mostly eats leaves and it's the only bird known to digest by fermentation, like a cow. This process is what causes its smell and has earned it the nickname the “ stink birdMillipedes （千足虫）Millipedes are tricky. For starters they look wormy. Their nameis deceptive, too: Their legs number about 750. Their major defense is to curl up into a ball. They, though, also release a harm eyes, and leave a horrible smell on their attackers.Sea Hare（海兔）The graceful sea hare is plain in taste in the first place, so it's not the most popular dish in the seafood chain. Nonetheless this type of sea creature has a pretty creative smell-related defense that is almost the opposite of its smelly companions on this list. The sea hare gives out a slimy, purple ink, the substance which makes food less palatable to predators.Researchers using lobsters（2-f）as model predators found that the sea blocks the lobstersreceptive mechanism. In other words, the sea hare gives its attacker the equivalent of a stuffynose so they don't know how appealing it is.60.The sea hare defends itself from predators by.A.becoming plain in taste at the discovery of a predatorB.giving out purple ink to make itself invisible to predatorsC.releasing substance to make predators unable to smell itD.giving off smelly gas to try to drive predators away.61.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The vulture carries bacteria so that predators dare not get close to it.B.The opossum fakes its death to avoid being targeted by predators.C.The hoatzin eats cow shit so that it is nick- named as “stink birdD.The gas released by millipede was basically harmless62.The species that enjoys more than one defense mechanism is.A.vultureB.opossumlipedeD.sea hare【答案】60. C 61. B 62. C(C)ARCHAEOLOGISTS^学家)GUIDEDBYlaser images of a remote region of northern Guatemala havediscovered 20-foot-high walls, watchtowers, and other evidence that ancient Maya societies hadbeen annoyed by warfare threat over many years. The finds have upended long-establishedimpressions of a civilization that it tamed the jungle and built thriving cities,then declinedand disappeared quietly beneath the dense tropical forest.Among the most surprising discoveries was a large stone complex now called La Cuemavilla.Built on a steep ridge, the heavily fortified site included high walls. Moats which serves asthe largest defensive system ever discovered in the region.This was surprising says an archaeologist, "because we had a tendency to romanticize Mayawarfare as something that was largely ritualized. But the fortifications were seeing suggest an elevated level of antagonism over centuries. Rulers were so deeply alarmed that they felt theneed to invest in all these hilltop fortifications. There is an almost visible sense of fear inthis landscape.All these findings owe credit to PACUNAMIDAR Initiative, a laser survey of some 800 square miles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in northern Guatemala. Using revolutionary Laser technology, the survey revealed the long-hidden ruins of a sprawling pre-Columbian civilization that was far more complex and interconnected than most Maya specialists had supposed.Guided by the new Laser treasure maps, the LIDAR team deployed through the jungle over the past year to conduct hands-on investigations of more than a dozen of the most promising sites-most of which would have been imperceptible without LIDAR."You could walk over the top of a major ruin and miss it, "says an archaeologist who's part of the PACUNA project. But LIDAR picks up the patterns and makes the features pop out with surprising clarity.Three-dimensional maps generated by the survey yielded surprises even at Tikal, the largest and most extensively explored archaeological site in Guatemala. The ancient city was at least four times bigger than previously thought, and surrounded by a massive ditch and fortified base stretching for miles.Archaeologists stress that LIDAR, for all its utility, will never see below the ground or yield d irect dates of occupation."we still need to dig and hack our way through the jungle,but now we have a very accurate map to guide us.63.How did people think of Maya before the discovery of the defense ruins?A.It was the most advanced civilization in the history of mankind.B.It was long under the threat of large-scale warsC.Its rise and decline were under way peacefullyD.It was finally destroyed by a large-scale war64.The underlined word antagonism is closest in meaning to.A.miseryB.revolutionC.population decreaseD.opposition65.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The military mechanism found in La Cuemavilla was intended for occupying more lands.B.The new laser technology was mainly used to enlarge the original site size.C.The LIDAR helps to avoid the traditional digging task in site exploration.D.The Tikal site was found to be protected by certain defense works66.The passage is mainly about.A.people' s long-time misunderstanding of Maya civilization.B.discovery of Maya military works aided by new explore technologyC.the finding of a big warfare resulting in the disappearance of Maya civilizationD.The various advantages of new technologies in the field of archaeology.【答案】63.

The jaguar ripped into her arm.Bystanders pulled her away before the animal could injure her further. She's fine-so is the jaguar.This isn ' t the first time a story of a person acting rudely to get close to a wild animal made headlines.

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: 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.When Jennifer Lawrence tripped on her way to accept her best actress Oscar one year, her pink princess-like Dior dress (21) _______ (capture) in all its glory. The unscripted moment became hot topic throughout social media.That bonus air-time for a single dress at one of the world’s global events is priceless for the likes of Dior, one of the (22) _______ (influential) fashion houses in the luxury marketplace.Success on the red carpet can earn exposure and profits for luxury brands for years (23) _______ (come). The red carpet, which will be televised live before Academy Awards ceremony, presents a great opportunity for a designer to reach an audience that expands (24) _______ the fashion setting. The Lawrence dress received about 40 million mentions on various social media.One way of estimating the monetary benefits of having a standout dress on the red carpet is to compare how much a brand would otherwise spend on commercial advertising during the same time. (25) _______ Lawrence had only 75 seconds of solo camera time for her Oscar acceptance speech, Dior had to pay more than $4 million for a commercial spot of the same duration on similar occasions. And this didn’t include the time (26) _______ (devote) to Lawrence and her dress on the pre-show televised red carpet.

Each word can only becould ___31___ people in highly competitive games and them quickly destroyed their human competitors.AI long ago mastered chess, the Chinese board game Go and even the Rubik’s cube, which it managed to solve in just 0.38 second.Now machines have a new game that will allow them to ___32___ humans: Jenga, the popular game in which players ___33___ remove pieces from an increasingly unstable tower of 54 blocks, placing each one on top until the entire structure would ___34___.A newly released video from MIT shows a robot developed by the school’s engineers playing the game with surprising accuracy. The machine is equipped with a soft gripper（夹子）, a force-sensing wrist and an external camera, allowing the robot to detect the tower’s ___35___ the way a human might do.Unlike in purely recognitive tasks or games such as chess or Go, playing the game of Jenga also requires mastery of physical acts such as pushing, pulling, placing, and arranging pieces. It must ___36___ interactive physical operation, where you have to touch the tower to learn how and when to move blocks.Imitating it is rather difficult, so the robot has to learn in the real world, by working with the real Jenga tower. Recently, a relevant research was published in the journal Science Robotics. Researchers say the robot demonstrates that machines can learn how to perform certain tasks through actual touching instead of relying heavily on visual ___37___. That physical ___38___ is significant, researchers say, because it provides further proof that robots can be used to perform ___39___ tasks, such as separating recyclable objects from landfill trash and assembling consumer products.In a cellphone assembly line, the felling of any component is coming from force and touch rather than vision. To become an accomplished Jenga player, the robot did not require as much repetitive practice as you might imagine. Hoping to avoid reconstructing a Jenga tower thousands of times, researchers developed a method that allowed the robot to be trained on about 300 games. Researchers say the robot has already begun facing off against humans, who remain ___40___ players -- for now.Ⅲ. 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.From the nation’s earliest days, farming has held a crucial place in the American economy and culture. Farmers play an important role in any society, of course, since they feed people. But farming has been particularly ___41___ in the United States with intensified attention from civilians and government as well.Early in the nation’s life, farmers were seen as exemplifying economic ___42___ such as hard work, perseverance, and self-sufficiency. Moreover, many Americans, particularlyimmigrants who may have never held any land in the country, found that owning a farm was the ___43___ to enter the American economic system. They were immediately playing a part in the country’s economy.The American farmers have generally been quite successful at producing food, which has sometimes created their biggest problem. The agricultural industry has suffered periodic explosions of overproduction that have ___44___ prices, when the government have to step in and ___45___ the worst of these events.American farmers owe their ability to produce large outputs to various factors. For one thing, they work under ___46___ natural conditions. The American Midwest has some of the richest soil in the world. Rainfall is ___47___ over most areas of the country; rivers and underground water system permit extensive watering. Increasing use of high-quality ___48___ also has contributed to the American agriculture. It is not unusual to see today’s farmers skillfully operating ___49___ plows（犁）or harvesters. One farmer can manage large lands of farms. Fertilizers and pesticides（杀虫剂）are commonly used although some environmentalists ___50___it. Computers track farm operations, and even ___51__ technology is applied to find the best places to plant crops. US agriculture is among the most advanced in the world.Farmers still must fight with forces beyond their control, ___52___. Despite its generally temperate weather, North America also experiences floods and droughts. Such changes in the weather give agriculture its own unique cycles, often ___53___ the general economy. When negative factors hit farmers, calls for government assistance are particularly intense. In the 1930s, for instance, bad weather, and the Great Depression combined to push farms over the edge into a(n) ___54___ situation. The government then responded with ___55___ agricultural reforms including, most notably, a system of price supports, whose significance toward the large-scale campaign lasted for many years.41.

A. subject to B. unrelated to C. reduced to D. applied to54. A. vague B. desperate C. isolated D. feasible55. A. struggling B. traditional C. sweeping D. permanentSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.( A )After some blood tests, Dr. Strubs stood before me, a tall man, but short on personality and sporting a cold expression. “You have systemic lupus（狼疮）,” he said matter-of-factly. “Lupus,” he continued, “it an auto-immune disease and ... “ I remember certain details but mostly I remember him talking about children. “Children are no harm. But childbirth would jumpstart additional symptoms that could be life threatening. You already have two kids anyway.”As I got up to leave, shaken and drained, he said his parting words, “I would discourage any further research. There is no cure and nothing can prevent its progression.”Still, I did research lupus and its symptoms -tiredness and joint pain -were both consistent with what I was experiencing. And eventually some major organs could be affected, causing shutdown and possibly death.I studied and found out that echinacea（紫锥花）had a record in making immune system stronger. I decided that along with the plant I would strengthen my mindset by immersing myself in my family with my one-year-old son and three-year-old daughter.After another visit, I decided never to go back to Dr. Strubs. How could one endure repeatedly hearing desperate words coming from an emotionless mouth even though they were truth? The years passed. When I would feel tired and achy I pulled support from my children and their laughter.Finally, after eight years, I went to Dr. Kirkstein who was recommended by a friend. She stood there holding my had and looking into my eyes warmly.“So, let’s talk a little.”Instantly my defenses were down. Before I knew it, she had me running on and on about my children, my husband, my life and dreams. I told her about all the meaningful activities I was involved in, those things I might have never done without the disease.After several follow-up tests, and greater research into my family history, Dr. Kirkstein came to conclusive answer. I did not have systemic lupus. There must be something wrong with the initial tests 8 years before.I didn’t know whether I should jump for joy or scream because I had been living the last eight years in fear of a fatal disease. But then I realized that I had been living every day, not so much in fear, but happiness. Every day was a gift and I knew it.56. Dr. Strubs warned the author against having more children because_______.A. the process of giving birth might put her life in dangerB. taking care of children will gradually worsen her diseaseC. her disease will threaten the health of her childrenD. she already has enough children57. Why did the author stop seeing doctor Strubs after two visits?A. Because he was not qualified to treat her disease.B. Because he recommended Dr. Kirkstein to her.C. Because his cold attitude upset the author.D. Because she suspected his diagnosis about her disease.58. How did the author deal with the disease?A. She calmly waited for major organs to shut down.B. She took effective medicine regularly to fight the disease.C. She turned to Dr. Kirkstein to get cure for the disease.D. She tried to strengthen immune system and drew strength from family.59. Why did the author think every day in the past 8 years was a gift?A. Because systemic lupus was no longer a deadly disease.B. Because she made every day valuable in spite of disease.C. Because she received a gift every day from her family.D. Because she only occasionally felt pain and tiredness.( B )While faking and fierce looks are among animals’ great defenses, many species know that everyone runs from a big stink（臭气）too.Vulture（秃鹫）Vulture, are street sweepers that feast on the rotting flesh of dead animals, which benefits us by ridding our highways and landscapes of animal bodies and the bacteria they might carry. When vultures feel threatened they vomit（呕吐）, and the smell of vomited-on dead bodies puts off most predators. Throwing up allows the vulture to fly away more quickly -- and the vomit can hurt the aggressor’s eyes and fave.Opossum（负鼠）In some ways opossums have it easy. In order to become “dead”, they don’t have to fax anyone a death certificate. They just lie there with their tongues hanging out with the smell of dead flesh, sometimes for hours, effectively convincing potential predators（捕食者）they can find a much fresher meal elsewhere. Even if they keep getting attacked, they won’t move any more than a human statue until the threat has passed.Hoatzin（麝雉）Hold your nose and meet the hoatzin, a bird with a number of distinctions, not the least of which is that it smells like fresh cow shit. The animal mostly eats leaves and it’s the only bird known to digest by fermentation（发酵）, like a cow. This process is what causes its smell and has earned it the nickname the “stink bird”.Millipede（千足虫）Millipedes are tricky. For starters they look wormy. Their name is deceptive, too: Their legs number about 750. Their major defense is to curl up into a ball. They, though, also release a noxious defensive spray that can irritate skin, harm eyes, and leave a horrible smell on their attackers.Sea Hare（海兔）The graceful sea hare is plain in taste in the first place, so it’s no the most popular dish in the sea food chain. Nonetheless, this type of sea creature has a pretty creative smell-related defense that is almost the opposite of its smelly companions on this list. The sea hare gives out a slimy, purple ink, the substance which makes food less palatable to predators.Researchers using lobsters（龙虾）as model predators found that the sea hare ink blocks the lobster’s receptive mechanism. In other words, the sea hare gives its attacker the equivalent ofa stuffy nose so they don’t know how appealing it is.60. The sea hare defends itself from predators by _______.A. becoming plain in taste at the discovery of a predatorB. giving out purple ink to make itself invisible to predatorsC. releasing substance to make predators unable to smell itD. giving off smelly gas to try to drive predators away61. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The vulture carries bacteria so that predators dare not get close to it.B. The opossum fakes its death to avoid being targeted by predators.C. The hoatzin eats cow shit so that it is nick-named as “stink bird.”D. The gas released by millipede was basically harmless.62. The species that enjoys more than one defense mechanism is _______.A. vultureB. opossumC. millipedeD. sea hare( C )ARCHAEOLOGISTS（考古学家）GUIDED BY laser images of a remote region of northern Guatemala have discovered 20-foot-high walls, watchtowers, and other evidence that ancient Maya societies had been annoyed by warfare threat over many years. The finds have upended long-established impressions of a civilization that it tamed the jungle and built thriving cities, then declined and disappeared quietly beneath the dense tropical forest.Among the most surprising discoveries was a large stone complex now called La Cuernavilla. Built on a steep ridge, the heavily fortified（加固的）site included high walls, moats （护城河）which serves as the largest defensive system ever discovered in the region.“This was surprising,” says an archaeologist, “because we had a tendency to romanticize Maya warfare as something that was largely ritualized. But the fortifications we’re seeing now suggest an elevated level of antagonism over centuries. Rulers were so deeply alarmed that they felt the need to invest in all these hilltop fortifications. There is an almost visible sense of fear in this landscape.”All these findings owe credit to PACUNAM LIDAR Initiative, a laser survey of some 800 square miles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in northern Guatemala. Using revolutionary laser technology, the survey revealed the long-hidden ruins of a sprawling pre-Columbian civilization that was far more complex and interconnected than most Maya specialists had supposed.Guided by the new Laser treasure maps, the LiDAR team deployed through the jungle over the past year to conduct hands-on investigations of more than a dozen of the most promising sites- most of which would have been imperceptible without LiDAR.“You could walk over the top of a major ruin and miss it,” says an archaeologist who’s part of the PACUNAM project. “But LiDAR picks up the patterns and makes the features pop out with surprising clarity.”Three-dimensional maps generated by the survey yielded surprises even at Tikal, the largest and most extensively explored archaeological site in Guatemala. The ancient city was at least four times bigger than previously thought, and surrounded by a massive ditch（沟）and fortified base stretching for miles.Archaeologists stress that LiDAR, for all its utility, will never see below the ground or yield direct dates of occupation. “We’ll still need to dig and hack our way through the jungle, but now we have a very accurate map to guide us.”63. How did people think of Maya before the discovery of the defense ruins?A. It was the most advanced civilization in the history of mankind.B. It was long under the threat of large-scale wars.C. Its rise and decline were under way peacefully.D. It was finally destroyed by a large-scale war.64. The underlined word antagonism is closest in meaning to _______.A. miseryB. revolutionC. population decreaseD. opposition65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The military mechanism found in La Cuernavilla was intended for occupying more lands.B. The new laser technology was mainly used to enlarge the original site size.C. The LiDAR helps to avoid the traditional digging task in site exploration.D. The Tikal site was found to be protected by certain defense works.66. The passage is mainly about_______.A. people’s long-time misunderstanding of Maya civilizationB. discovery of Maya military works aided by new explore technologyC. the finding of a big warfare resulting in the disappearance of Maya civilizationD. The various advantages of new technologies in the field of archaeologySection CDirections：Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.jaguar（美洲虎）enclosure at Wildlife World Zoo, Arizona. The jaguar ripped into her arm. Bystanders pulled her away before the animal could injure her further. She’s fine --so is the jaguar.This isn’t the first time a story of a person acting rudely to get close to a wild animal made headlines. Last year, a man jumped into a lion enclosure at a zoo for a close-up photo. ___67___ Multiple tourists in Yellowstone National Park have been attacked by bison（野牛）when they’ve gotten too close for a photo.It’s common sense not to get close to wild animals that can hurt you. It’s why zoos have barriers ---sometimes multiple walls --to keep people separated from animals. Signs posted everywhere state the obvious warning. Keep your hands off the cage.“Yet animals have become less real to us,” says an environmentalist. We see exotic animals most frequently in managed settings like zoos. ___68___ People are trying to take advantage of their rarity to show off on social media and ignore their fierceness.Media often normalize interaction with dangerous animals. Seeing a man like “Lion Whisperer” Kevin Richardson regularly play-fight with lions on TV, may send the message that these animals aren’t so dangerous after all.Social media are also perfectly positioned to contribute to the rise of animal selfies. Getting likes and comments provide instant satisfaction. Your self-esteem actually gets atemporary boost. To hold onto that feeling, people may go to more and more extremes to showcase the most exciting versions of themselves. It may not be enough to get a photo of a beautiful, dangerous animal from outside a cage. ___69___People’s careless approach can put the animal’s safety at risk as well. Zoo animals often must be killed to protect the person who’s entered their space. In fact, thrill-seekers actively endanger the lives of animals. ___70___ With the zoo environment, they take it for granted that animals are there for people, ignoring the fact that animals and humans are both equal existents in the nature.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.Peter woke up one morning with all the usual signs of a nasty cold: severe headache and blocked nose. Then he did what almost everyone does on a day like this. He got up and went to work. Such is the state of what the human resources industry has come to call presenteeism.Many experts claim that presenteeism is now a bigger problem in the UK than absenteeism and could even help explain the country’s weak productivity growth. A growing number of companies are realizing presenteeism and doing something about it. This generally takes the from of programmes full of once unimaginable sweets: cheap gym membership, veggie salads in the canteen, stand-up desks and the odd massage. Of course, there’s nothing against lunchtime dentistry or free workout. They do more good than harm. But such welfares alone won’t do much to stop people from presenteeism.The chief reasons why people soldier on have nothing to do with how fit they are. They work for leaner, more stressed companies where dismissals are common. This makes some people worried that they will be targeted in the next round of job cut if they have taken a lot of time off. Others worry about troubling stretched colleagues with more work in their absence. How annoying it is to be faced with cold faces when you return to office after two days’ rest at home!There is not much to be said for “silly things” like ping-pong tables and office bean bags. The key to dealing with presenteeism lies in training managers to be better at spotting swiftly when employees are under too much stress or ill, and dealing with the situation sensibly putting the sick employee to sick leave although he is reluctant. Of course, work has to be done to eliminate employee’s concern about his job prospect thereof.第Ⅱ卷Ⅴ.

That’s where the students play games, watch TV, cook and eat. Fifty students share this area. Unluckily, peoplehave been leaving their dirty dishes and food out in the kitchen.

Each week, the people on one floor of the building clean these commonspaces. In turns, the people on each floor of the building are responsible for one commonarea.
