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.It’s harder to heal at nightCircadian rhythm, better known as our body clock, is the cycle that keeps us moving on. During a24-hour cycle it helps 1 (drive) multiple processes in the body, from hormone secretion and sleeping patterns to metabolism. And researchers at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered that this cycle can affect the healing of wounds such as cuts and burns.Dr John O’Neill, the senior author of the study, said, “This is the first time that the circadian clock within individual skin cells 2 (show) to determine how effectively they respond to injuries.”The study found that, on average, burns that 3 (occur) at night took 60 per cent longer to heal than burns that happened during the body clock daytime cycle. Nighttime burns (sustained between 8pm and 8am) healed around 28 days 4 when it was 17 days if a burn was sustained during the day (between 8am and 8pm). The study drew these conclusions after 5 (analyse) data from 118 patient records from all major burns units in England and Wales.The reasoning behind the differences in healing time is due to 6 long it takes for skin cells to move to the site of the wound and begin repairs, a process that occurs more quickly during the daytime. This is driven by increased activity of the proteins within the cell, 7 act like a muscle within the cell.In a statemen t, Dr Ned Hoyle, the lead author of the study, said, “We’ve shown that the daily cycles in our body clock control how well cells can repair 8 (damage) tissue by affecting an essential protein called actin. Efficient repair of our skin is critical to preventing infection, and 9 healing goes wrong, wounds need more time to heal. Further research into the link 10 body clocks and wound healing may help us to develop drugs that promote wound healing.Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

The market for consumer and office robots is expected to develop quickly in the next three years, according to a 2015 report by Business Insider Intelligence, being greater than $1.5 billion and far 11 the growth of robots in manufacturing.We already have robots that clean the house, like the Roomba, but in the future we’ll also have robot arms that can 12 surfaces and bathe people, says Christopher Atkeson, a roboticist at Carnegie Mellon, whose lab has produced such machines. Eventually, robots will fold laundry and cook meals. And if they work well, you won’t even notice them. The key to effective robots is ”being 13 of predicting what people will do,“ says Julie Shah, the head of the Interactive Robotics Group at MIT. ”The idea is either 14 people or staying out of their way.“That said, some people may want a robot that hangs around. In Japan, a friendly humanoid robot called Pepper that can 15 and respond to human emotion has proved enormously popular since it went on sale two years ago. Pepper might turn out to be the 16 roommate- helpful, kind, and always up for hanging out, but never in the way.Perhaps the already 17 line between online and offline life will disappear, and human relationships with intelligent machines will represent a new extension of our social 18 . Your in-hour robot could serve as an avatar(化身)for friends and family, 19 from afar so that, with the help of robotic arms and legs, you could dance with or hug a loved one who is halfway around the planet. The real 20 of - or problem with - the house of the future, then, might be that you’ll never have to leave it. However, what the future house will be like still remains to be seen.An idea whose time has come: the four-day workweekThe four-day workweek’s moment has arrived. With California Congressman Mark Takano’s introduction of legislation to reduce the standard workweek from 40 to 32 hours, awareness of a shorter workweek－and_________for it－is gaining. And so is the skepticism(怀疑)around it.Initial skepticism is a(n) _________ response to a great change in how we think about work. American work culture has been defined by ideals of career as identity, workaholism and ambitions for continuous growth. It is not _________to free ourselves from the only reality we know.And yet, if there were ever a right time, this is it. For so many, the muscles of adaptation have_________ over the past two years with every challenge brought on by the pandemic and other global crises. The rapid, significant transition across industries to working from home provided evidence that we can _________ quickly in response to changing conditions. Now, we have an opportunity to exercise these muscles to_________evolve from outdated conceptions of what work must look like.Four-day workweek pilots are emerging across the globe, with some companies now shifting from the_________stage to implementing the policy permanently. Microsoft Japan, Unilever New Zealand and Kick-starter represent just a few of a growing number of organizations exploring the four-day workweek. _________political leaders are voicing support for the concept. Last year, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardem approved employers implementing a four-day workweek to help stimulate domestic tourism in response to industry downturn brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.Advocates mention many_________, including reduced burnout, improved physical and mental health, increased gender equity, and positive environment impacts. It is easy to imagine what we might do with an additional day-spend time with family and friends, pursue a hobby, enroll in classes, sleep. Many in favor of the four-day workweek envision a more ____________and rested community. Pilot findings show increased productivity as well. Among companies that have adopted a four-day week, nearly two-thirds report increased productivity.Some leaders will see the research and be ____________ that a pilot in their organization is worthwhile. Other will resist the idea. What theories or beliefs are at the the root of their concerns? Many leaders were taught that face-time with employees is the only way to ensure accountability, productivity and teamwork. Less face-time, which follows the four-day workweek model and work-from-home arrangements, can feel to some like____________control.For leaders of organizations and teams, the shift to a four-day workweek requires re-imagining standard operating procedures, increasing innovation and, perhaps most importantly, trusting in____________. Let employees work out the details rather than trying to “solve” the four-day workweek challenge____________. Awin, a Berlin-based teach firm, saw 80 employees volunteer for task forces to ensure that their switch to a four-day workweek went smoothly. Those who are closest to the work and potential challenges are often closest to the____________. The website also offers many resources to help companies design a four-day workweek pilot.21.A．dislike B．substitution C．responsibility D．enthusiasm 22.A．delayed B．reasonable C．incorrect D．official23.A．late B．practical C．easy D．impossible 24.A．loosen B．hurt C．strengthened D．trembled25.A．withdraw B．fail C．defend D．adapt26.A．intentionally B．traditionally C．incidentally D．hopelessly 27.A．center B．recovery C．design D．pilot28.A．As a result B．What’s more C．By contrast D．In fact29.A．concerns B．assumptions C．threats D．benefits30.A．isolated B．experienced C．fulfilled D．modernized 31.A．reminded B．convinced C．informed D．warned32.A．a sense of B．a drain on C．a loss of D．a waste of33.A．employees B．advocates C．campaigners D．leaders 34.A．from the scratch B．from the bottomup C．from the middle D．from the topdown35.A．risks B．procedures C．solutions D．resourcesDiplomacy (外交) is an art. It requires not only strategy, but also other aspects, including intuition, persuasion, and even tricks, human skills that have long been unreachable to even the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. Now, an AI algorithm (算法) from a high-tech company has shown it can beat many humans in a game of diplomacy, which required both strategic planning and negotiations with other players. The work, researchers said, could point the way toward virtual exercise coaches and conflict mediators (调解员) .AI has already beaten humans in some games of strategy. It is also proving powerful at natural-language processing, in which it can generate humanlike text and carry on conversations. In the game of diplomacy, seven players vied for control of Europe. On each turn, players issued orders regarding the movement of army and naval units, following discussion with other players, whom they could attack or support.There are two technical innovations noted by Jonathan Gratch, a computer scientist at the University of Southern California who studies negotiation agents. First, the Al agent’s com-munication is grounded in multistep planning. Second. the Al agent keeps its remarks and game play within the range of human common practice.To test its skill, the researchers had the Al agent play 40 online games against humans. It placed in the top 10% of players who’d played at least two games. “In a game that involves language and negotiation, that agents can reach human equal level is very exciting,” said Yu, a computer scientist at Columbia University.According to Brown, a computer scientist at the company who co-authored the paper, the work could lead to practical applications in fields that now require a human touch. One specific example is that virtual personal assistants might help consumers negotiate for better prices on plane tickets. Gratch and Yu both see opportunities for agents that persuade people to make healthy choices or open up during therapy.36. Who is likely to benefit from the research work?A．A famous cyber athlete. B．A professor of civil law.C．A professional accountant. D．A virtual fitness instructor.37. What does the underlined word “vied” mean in paragraph 2?A．Accounted. B．Apologized. C．Searched. D．Competed.38. Why does the author mention AI agent?A．To understand the thought of AI. B．To illustrate the advantages of AI.C．To describe the importance of AI. D．To introduce the strategy of AI.39. What is the best title for the text?A．Diplomacy, a Popular Game B．AI Learns the Art of DiplomacyC．Al Will Become a Perfect Diplomat D．An Excellent Game PlayerGrading Policies for Introduction to LiteratureGrading Scale90-100, A; 80-89, B; 70-79, C; 60-69, D; Below 60, E.Essays (60%)Your four major essays will combine to form the main part of the grade for this course: Essay 1 = 10%; Essay 2 = 15%; Essay 3 = 15%; Essay 4 = 20%.Group Assignments (30%)Students will work in groups to complete four assignments (作业) during the course.

Young girls, in particular, struggle with their body image thanks to a constant stream of photos and videos showing beautiful bodies that users don’t think they can attai n.While the information the Journal covered is essential and instructive, it does not tell the whole story. Deep down, this is not an Instagram problem; it’s a people problem. Understanding that distinction can make the difference between a failed attemp t to contain a teen’s interest in an addictive app and successfully addressing the underlying problem leading to mental distress induced (诱发) by Instagram.Critics were quick to shame Facebook for sitting on the data and not releasing it to researchers or academics who asked for it. Others criticize the social media giant for not using the research to create a safer experience for its teen users. The anger, while understandable, is misplaced.While I’m reluctant to defend Facebook, I’m not sure it’s reaso nable to blame the company for withholding data that would hurt its business. Have you ever binge-watched (狂看) a Netflix series?I assure you it wasn’t a healthy endeavor. You were in active, likely did nothing productive, mindlessly snacked and didn’t go outside for fresh air. It is an objectively harmful use of time to stare at a TV or laptop for a full weekend. Should we respond by shaming Netflix for not alerting us to how damaging an addictive product can be?While it’s reasonable to say Instagram make s esteem issues worse, it strains credulity (夸张到难以置信) to believe it causes them in the first place. You create your own experiences on social media. For the most part, you choose which accounts to follow and engage. If you’re already vulnerable to insecurities and self-sabotage (自损) — as many teens are — you will find accounts to obsess over. And this isn’t a new phenomenon.Before social media, there were similar issues fueling self-esteem issues. Whether the target be magazines, movies or television shows depicting difficult-to-attain bodies, there has been a relatively steady chorus (异口同声) of experts nothing the damage new media could cause young viewers.Self-esteem issues have an underlying cause —one that’s independent of social media use. Instagram merely enhances those feelings because it provides infinitely more access to triggers than older forms of media. It’s more worthwhile to address those underlying factors rather than to attack Facebook.43. The author thinks the criticisms against Instagram __________.A．are successful attempts to change teens’ interest in addictive appsB．address the Instagram - induced mental painC．are only based on the data released by FacebookD．are not directed at the fundamental problem44. Netflix is mentioned to __________.A．compare the criticisms against it and FacebookB．defend why Facebook is to blameC．suggest the critics’ remarks are not to pointD．show Netflix does more harm to teens45. The Instagram problem is essentially a “people problem” in that __________.A．it is human nature to get addicted to social mediaB．users decide on their experiences on social mediaC．people have a tendency to feel insecure onlineD．people are keen on fabricating their self - profile46. What is the passage mainly about?A．the unprecedented criticism facing FacebookB．the alarming online habits of teenagers worldwideC．the root cause of Instagram - induced mental strainsD．the harmful impact of Instagram on teenagersAuthenticating Sushi … and PicassosA recent study of the seafood industry by Oceana, a conservation group, found that, nationwide, grocery stores mislabeled nearly one-fifth of all the fish they sold. Sushi restaurants were even worse, serving a fish other than what was promised on the menu three-quarters of the time. 47 But some merchants seemed to substitute cheap fish like tilapia for more expensive fare on purpose.DNA bar coding can help uncover such practices. By taking a bit of muscle from a fish and sequencing (测定序列) the DNA inside, scientists can quickly tell one species from another. Bar-coding technology is accessible enough that high-school students have used it to expose fraud (骗局) at restaurants. 48 And they can see for themselves whether they’re really getting the bluefin t una they ordered.49 Billions of dollars’ worth of art changes hands every year, and some experts estimate that 40 percent of it is fake. Professional authentication can help, but recent stories involving works said to have been painted by Jackson Pollock, Amedeo Modigliani, and others have shown that a skillful forger (制作赝品者) can fool even the most respected experts. 50 Rather than using the artist’s own DNA—which a thief could lift from clothes, rubbish, or hairs—these labels would containDNA from another creature, with pieces of synthetic DNA woven in. To authenticate the piece,scientists would take DNA from the label, sequence the synthetic hits, and consult a database. Only if the sequence matched the database record would the piece be pronounced genuine.the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Vertical farming isn’t actually a very new concept. The idea has existed since at least the 1950s. However, it was only recently that we began to seriously explore the idea, and put it forward as a solution to the world food crisis.So what has vertical farming g ot going for it? At present, over 80 per cent of the world’s land that is suitable for farming is already being used. In order to grow enough food to feed the nine billion people that will be living on our planet in the middle of the 21 century, we’ll need TEN million more square kilometres of land - that’s an area 20 per cent bigger than Brazil!The building used for vertical farming won’t take up much space because they are tail - they’re skyscrapers. They can be built in the middle of cities, where all the people are. The food would be on people’s doorsteps, almost literally, so transport costs are minimal. That’s great for helping to combat global warming and climate change.Another advantage is that all food could be grown organically. The crops would need less water than traditional ones because all the water is recycled. All the nutrients are recycled too. The only thing that actually leaves the building is the produce, the food.Vertical farming would create jobs too. Imagine the small businesses that would spring up around these farms - for packaging, distribution, catering, and so on - they would employ thousands of people.Where is it likely to happen? Who will benefit most from it? First and foremost, countries that don’t have agriculture: cold countries, like Greenland and Iceland, and hot, desert countries, like Saudi Arabia. You would have sealed buildings in these places with an artificial climate - artificially warm in Iceland, artificially cool in a hot country.The social benefits are amazing and everybody gets good, healthy food. People have reacted really well to this idea - I think the idea is about to develop into reality.________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________52. 书展的门票只能提前一天在网上购买。

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. Our 41 of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support consists of the 42 of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with 43 support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live 44 and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from 45 to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fight off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they 46 us. Our self-respect is 47 when we feel 48 by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship 49 . Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support – financial aid, material resources, and needed services – that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.III. Reading Comprehension （50%）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each bank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists 50 when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the 51 like their new environment. Then, when the fresh feeling 52 , they begin to dislike the city，the country, the people there, and 53 else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to get used to their surroundings and，as a result, 54 their life.There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public 55 system—the telephone, post office, or transportation—may be hard to work out. The simplest things seem to be big 56 . The language may be difficult.Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock still 57 most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who 58 had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, those people find they do not have 59 established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image. 60 makes them have a feeling of disorientation（无方向）. This feeling may be home-sickness. When homesick, people like staying 61 all the time. They want to protect themselves from the _ 62 _ environment, and create an escape anywhere for a sense of safety. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for a _ 63 __term，but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and _ 64 experience are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.50．A．discover B．spend C．know D. employ51．A．specialists B．newcomers C．travellers D. people52．A．comes B．dies C．appears D. misses53．A．everything B．something C．anywhere D. somewhere54．A．satisfy B．realize C．enjoy D. find55．A．service B．society C．communication D. relation56．A．things B．ones C．problems D. misfortunes57．A．tires B．surprises C．ruins D. meets58．A．seldom B．ever C．once D. likely59．A．proper B．the same C．former D. the newly60.

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.AHave you ever seen a traffic policeman with bright white sleeves, directing traffic at the busy road junction? That is my job.You would not guess how hard my job is unless you tried to do it yourself. I have to keep my eyes wide open every minute of the day, or else I will get myself and others into trouble. My negligence might even cause serious disaster.As soon as I take up duty on the traffic stand, I begin to wave my hands to direct the traffic. A traffic policeman should keep the movements of his arms down to a minimum and rely mainly on his hands in order to preserve his energy. I sometimes feel that y arms no longer belong to my body. Although it appears easy enough to stop on – coming cars from one direction and wave forward those from another direction, a traffic policeman must be most careful not to give any wrong signs lest an accident should occur.Nobody longs for fine weather as much as I do when I am on duty. Day or night, I pray that it will not rain. It is difficult to find anyone who is more exposed to the elements than I am in my traffic stand. The rain can drench me and the wind can chill me to the bone. On the other hand, during summer the hot sun can burn me!The most trying hours are the peak periods when people go to and come back from their work. At such times, both pedestrians and vehicles always seem to try to beat each other to the crossing. The motorists usually keep a sharp look – out for my signals, but many pedestrians walk across the road as if they are in a dream. They ignore my signals, risking their lives. Many pedestrians and motorists must have blamed me for stopping and holding them up.

It is used to refer to matters of taste, belief, and judgment. This casual would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion. Unfortunately, most to attach great importance to it. "I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, '' and ''Everyone's entitled to his opinion, '' are common expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another's opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.Is that label accurate? Is it intolerant to challenge another's opinion? It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind. For example, you may ask a friend ''What do you think of the new Ford cars?" And he mayreply, "In my opinion, they're ugly." In this case, it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement, but foolish. For it's obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference, a matter of taste. And as the old saying goes, ''It's pointless to argue about matters of taste."But consider this very different use of the term, A newspaper reports that the Supreme Court has delivered its opinion in a controversial case. Obviously the justices did not shale their personal preferences, their mere likes and dislikes, They stated their considered judgment, painstakingly arrived at after thorough inquiry and deliberation.Most of what is referred to as opinion falls somewhere between these two extremes. It is not an expression of taste. Nor is it careful judgment. Yet it may contain elements of both. It is a view or belief more or less casually arrived at, with or without examining the evidence.Is everyone entitled to his opinion? Of course, this is not only permitted, but guaranteed. We are free to act on our opinions only so long as, in doing so, we do not harm others.72．What does the word “label” refer to?A．The lack of deliberation will probably be unable to put up with another’s opinion.B．Careless thought will direct people into trouble.C．To be frank is the best way to be one’s best friend.D．Great importance is attached to one’s opinions in one way or another.73．The new Ford cars are cited as an example to show that ________.A．personal tastes are not something to be challenged.B．A famous brand is not something to be challenged.C．Free expressions of opinions will lead to confusion.D．To confront a personal opinion in public is tolerant.74．Considered judgment is different from personal preference in that ________.A．Considered judgment is always delivered in the court.B．Considered judgment states on e’s likes and dislikes.C．Considered judgment results from careful thought.D．Considered judgment covers one’s personal preferences.75．As indicated in the passage, being free to act on one's opinion ________.A．means that one can ignore other people's criticism.B．means that one can impose his pre6ereaccs on others.C．doesn't mean that one has the right to charge others without evidence.D．doesn't mean that one has the right to do things at will.DSex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sexboth physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties. A woman's place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play caretaker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand, men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are "dependents".The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is thus appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women's domestic role. Informal distinctions between "women's work" and "men's work" in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For the human species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce .Thus , women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance. So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex defined roles in social life. There is ample evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that to exist are largely learned.But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society, sex defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.76．Women's place, some people think, is within the protective environment of the home because_______ .A．women can provide better care for the childrenB．women are too weak to do any agricultural work at allC．women are biologically suited to domestic jobsD．women can not compete with men in any field77．According to the author, sex roles _______.A．are socially determinedB ．are emotionally and physically determinedC ．can only be determined by what education people takeD ．are biologically and psychologically determined78．The author points out that the assignments of women's roles in work_______. A ．are determined by what they are better suited toB ．grow out of their position inside the homeC ．reflect a basic difference between men and womenD ．are suitable to them, but not to men79．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A ．The division of sex defined roles is completely unacceptable .B ．Women's roles in Work are too limited at present.C ．In one society, men might per form what is considered women's duties by another.D ．Some of the women's roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by menSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A – F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.E80．Asakawa, 45, has spent the past eight years making the Internet a friendly place for people who can ’t see. In 1997 her research group at IBM Japan put out one of the world ’s first browsers specifically made to read aloud the contents of Web pages. And last July, her team released software that helps Web designers figure out how to make their home pages accessible to people with poor or no eyesight. 81．______Accessibility is a serious issue. The Internet is becoming an increasingly important source of information and services. For people who are blind, the Internet lets them do things on their own for which they previously needed a lot of help, like going shopping.82．_______At age 11, Asakawa accidentally hit her head into the side of a pool while swimming, damaging her optic （视觉的）nerves. Three years later, she was completely blind. At a vocational school for the blind, Asakawa learned to program in various computer languages. To read code printouts she used a device that translated the code into raised letters sensed with the fingers. It was a struggle, she recalls, “ But it was possible.”83．________In the mid-1990s, she began surfing the Internet, using a combination of software that read out what was on the screen. But there were problems: The system only read English. On-screen fill-out forms stumped the reader, and tables with vertical columns came out as gibberish（无意义的声音）. Asakawa decided to develop software specifically designed to handle the coding used for Web pages. She inserted aural cues to help browsing, like using a man’s voice for text and a woman’s for links. In 1997 she put ou t IBM’s first Home Page Reader in Japanese, then in English followed by nine other languages.84．______Asakawa is now doing basic research on using the sense of touch to direct the attention of the blind, as colors do for the sighted. She hopes this kind of research will also be usefu l for people with normal vision. “ Sighted people don’t use the sens e of touch very much,”she laughs. “What a waste！＂第Ⅱ卷（共45分）I.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that fits the context.The Part of the environmental movement that draws my firm ’s attention is the design of cities, buildings and products. When we designed America ’s first so-called “green ” office building in New York two decades ago, we felt very alone. But today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the 50 that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to 51 .Back in 1984, we discovered that most manufactured products for decoration weren ’t designed for 52 use. The “energy-efficient” sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis 53 indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So far 20 years, we ’ve been focusing on these materials down to the molecules （分子）, looking for ways to make them 54 for people and the planet.Home builders can now use materials-such as paints that release significantly reducedamountsof organic（有机物的）compounds-that don’t 55 the quality of the air, water, or soil. Ultimately （最终）, however, our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being ‘less bad’ but on creating 56 healthful materials that can be either safely returned to the soil 57 reused by industry again and again. As a matter of 58 , the world’s largest carpet manufacturer has already 59 a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable.Look at it this way: No one 60 out to create a building that destroys the planet. But our current industrial systems are 61 causing these conditions, whether we like it or not. So 62 of simply trying to reduce the derange, we are 63 a positive approach. We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that has a 64 effect on the world. It’s not just the building industry, either. Entire cities are taking these environmentally positive approaches to design, planning and building. Portland, Seattle and Boston have said they want to be green cities. Chicago wants to be the greenest city in the world. 50．A．practice B．outlook C．idea D．scheme51．A．go B．come C．arrive D．continue52．A．indoor B．inward C．relevant D．flexible53．A．displayed B．discovered C．exhibited D．revealed54．A．comfortable B．careful C．safe D．stable55．A．deny B．disclose C．dissolve D．destroy56．A．partially B．exactly C．completely D．superficially57．A．or B．and C．but D．nor58．A．interest B．fact C．principle D．course59．A．sketched B．constructed C．researched D．developed60．A．starts B．pulls C．looks D．makes61．A．basically B．originally C．traditionally D．inevitably62．A．because B．instead C．out D．regardless63．A．adjusting B．admitting C．adopting D．adapting64．A．functional B．beneficial C．precious D．sensibleSection BDirections: Read the following four passages.

Millions ofteenagers have been drawn in by her light smileand beautiful long hair. Many magazines havedescribed her as one of the most charmingyoung actresses of 2004. People say that Liuwill be even bigger this year."She is so beautiful on TV.

In the show to be aired this year, Liu plays the Little Dragon Girl.Liu is currently a grade three student at the Beijing Film Academy (北京电影学院), the star factory of China. But some people say that her success is only down to her beauty. When she returned to China with her mother at the age of 14, she did originally work as a model. It was when a director saw her picture on an advertisement board on the street that her opportunity to work in TV arose."A pretty face does not last forever. To be a good actress you must work hard and have a professional attitude," Liu said. Every day she spends hours practicing all the kungfu kicks and punches (踢打) for the show."There have been times during filming when I have remained hanging in the air on wires for half a day as the director keeps trying to get the perfect take," said Liu recently.65．In the first paragraph, the photographer commented on Liu’s .A．beauty B．talent as an actressC．promising future D．special character66．When Yang Mingwei, a student from Fujian said those words about Liu, he meant that .A．LiuYifei was very lucky to play the role of WangYuyanB．she is more beautiful than WangYuyanC．she did a good job in playing WangYuyanD．she worked very hard when she played Wang Yuyan67．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Liu Yifei thinks her beauty contributed to her success.B．She has become a citizen of the US.C．She graduated from the Beijing Film Academy a couple of months ago.D．Liu Yifei failed to improve her English when she studied in America.BBy 2050……Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.TV channels will have disappeared．Instead, people will choose a program from a "menu" and a computer will send the program directly to the television．Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away．By 2050,music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer．Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast．Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents．Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are．By 2050,the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination．Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours．Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again．By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours．Robots will have replaced people in factories.

Think you know how to do it? Try this simple test: sit or stand wherever you are and take a deep breath, then let it out. What expanded more as you breathed in, your chest or your abdomen (腹部) If the answer is your chest, you're like most people and you're doing it wrong. Take another deep breath-and keep reading.The technique is so powerful that physician James Gordon, director of the Centre for Mind/Body Medicine in Washington, teaches it to nearly every patient he sees."Slow, deep breathing is probably the only best antistress medicine we have," says Gordon, "When you bring air down into the lower part of the lungs, where oxygen exchange is most efficient, everything changes. Heart rate slows, blood pressure decrease, muscles relax, anxiety ceases and the mind calms."Obviously, everyone alive knows how to breathe. But Gordon and other experts in the field of mind-body medicine say that few people in industrialized societies know how to breathe correctly. They are taught to suck in their guts (内脏) and puff out (鼓起) their chests. At the same time, they are attacked with constant stress, which causes heart rate to increase. As a result, they become shallow "chest breathers", using primarily the middle and upper portions of the lungs. Few people - other than musicians, singers and some athletes - are even aware that the abdomen should expand when they breathe in."Watch a baby breathe," says Gordon, "and you'll see the abdomen go up and down, deep andslow." With age, most people change from this healthy abdominal breathing into shallow chest breathing.At Duke University Medical Centre, Dr. Jon Seskevich has taught abdominal breathing to most of the 18,000 patients he's worked with since 1990. About half the people he sees have cancer.One of his most dramatic cases involved a lung-cancer patient. "I walked into the room to find this large man actually fighting for breath," Seskevich recalls. "I had his sit back in his chair and place his feet on the ground. I then asked if it was OK if I touched his abdomen. He nodded, so I put my hand on and told him to breathe softly into my hand, to let his abdomen rise into my hand."After about six minutes of this, he was breathing comfortably. "All day, people were telling his to relax," says Seskvich, "and it seemed to make his struggle worse. I just told him to breathe into his abdomen. We didn't cure his cancer, but we may have saved him a trip to the intensive-care unit"72．The best antistress medicine discussed in the passage is ________.A．a newly-acquired technique B．a powerful medicineC．chest breathing D．slow, deep breathing73．Among the following people, who tend to know the correct way of breathing according to the passageA． Cancer patients. B．School children.C．Sportsmen. D．University professors.74．If Dr. Seskevich hadn't taught the lung-cancer patient how to breathe, _____.A．he would have died of cancerB． he wouldn't have been cured of his illnessConcern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchman. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.Some day that French has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly-line(流水线)life” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life — tojoy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café?Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture, Occasionally, they have created against the trend with considerable violence.In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believed that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.76．Which of the following is a feature of the old French way of life?A．Leisure, elegance, and efficiencyB．Elegance, efficiency and tasteC．Leisure, elegance, and tasteD．Efficiency, taste, and convenient.77．Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?A．Many of them prefer the modern life style.B．They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.C．They are more concerned with money than before.D．They are more competitive than the old generation.78．The passage suggests that ________.A．great changes have occurred in the life style of all FrenchmenB．it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the riverC．the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked applesD．in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhere79．The main idea of the passage is “”.A．Changes in the French Way of Life B．Criticism of the New Life Style C．The Americanization of France D．Features of the New Way of LifeSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph.

To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often. It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary. It has no fun at all! On the contrary, a too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help. The two extremes may at last make you give up reading. So it’s better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page.81．If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible. Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text. This ability is quite necessary in reading. If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well stimulated. If a word really hinders you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then. I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image”.82．To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas on some special issues. Try to scribble some lines – a very short journal, to express your ideas. Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive. This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors. Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing.83．Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English. Don’t merely take English as a “test”. Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning.Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like. Try to read them as loudly and impassionedly as you can. During this process, not only you can enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved.84．The last but not the least, keep on reading. If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining.第Ⅱ卷（45分）I．Translation（20分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the word or phrase given in the brackets.1．游客不能进入这座寺庙参观。

He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs 60 . After a time his muscles grew hard and firm.

Each passages 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 heard.（A）A student who enters a university in the second half of the 20th century is in a new situation. He is not like the young man of the early 19th who came to sit at the feet of the masters and left as a master. That situation no longer exists, because now it is not only the student who changes. He may grow fast, but science grows still faster.The young German philosophy Hegel, writing at the beginning of the 19th century, believed that one man’s mind could contain all the knowledge of his times. At that time it was perfectly possible for a man to hold such a belief and to base his life on it. Hegel’s friend Goethe wrote a famous poem about a young man who hoped to translate this purpose into reality. They young man in the poem was called Fraust. But Hegel’s situation was slightly different from Fraust’s because Fraust, the hero of the poem, had the devil to help him, while Hegel had only his professors.Today a very different situation exists, a situation in which the professor and the devil have lost most of their power. Today a student cannot master knowledge, he can only be its servant. He knows that he can become familiar only with a small corner of knowledge, and that his learning will always be imperfect and incomplete. But he can still hope to add something to the sum of knowledge, and so make the situation slightly more difficult for those who come after him.65．The poem about Fraust is mentioned to tell us .A．he was a young man.B．he got the devil’s help.C．the situation was slightly more difficult for those who came after him.D．today’s learning situation is much different from that in the past. 66．A student of the 20th century is faced with a new situation because .A．he has to learn entirely on his own. B．he can never be a master now.C．science grows very fast. D．he is changing all the time 67．Today a student knows that .A．his knowledge is often incorrect.B．he cannot learn more than the students in the 19th century did.C．those who come after him will have greater difficulties in learning D．his knowledge is very limited compared with the total amount 68．The best title for this passage might be .A．Hegel, the Great German Philosopher.B．The Learning Situation in the Modern UniversityC．How to Study at a Modern UniversityD．The Rapid Development of Science（B）In May 1994, When Ralph Illion was a sailor stationed in the Pacific, he wrote a love letter to a girl named Gloria back in Chicago. He also wrote to his wife, Lillian. You can imagine Lillian’s surprise when she opened her letter and found Gloria’s included.“Dear Gloria,”it began.“It’s about time I introduced myself. We haven’t met, yet I have heard so much about you, I must say I’ve fallen in love.”“This confession might come as a shock, since you know nothing aboutme except what other people have told you. Don’t take them too seriously. I’m really a bad fellow once you get to know me. And my feelings for you will never change as long as I live.”“I hope this makes the proper impression and you won’t think me too bold. Send me a picture. And please keep my love for you locked in your heart, have it opened only when I call for it in person.”Gloria, now in her mid-40s, mailed me the letter, along with the one Ralph wrote in May 1944 to Lillian. Gloria was three months old when Ralph, her father, mailed them both. He’d been on a warship for ten months and had never seen her. He’s 80 now and still happily married to Lillian, Gloria’s mom. 69．After Lillian read these letters .A．she was very angry with her husband B．she didn’t know what to doC．she was very surprised D．she was very glad and laughed 70．Which of the following took place ?A．Lillian divorced Ralph after she read the letter .B．Gloria refused Ralph’s love .C．Ralph remarried Lillian when he was 80.D．Ralph sent a letter to Lillian and one to Gloria in the same envelop . 71．When Ralph wrote these letters , he was .A．in his 40s B．a young fellow C．in his 30s D．at the age of 8072．We can infer that .A．Lillian hated RalphB．Ralph was an amusing manC．Gloria didn’t think Ralph was a good boyfriendD．Ralph put the two letters in one envelop by carelessness（C）73．What Kind of performance does the Newton theatre have in January ?A．A comedy . B．A ballet C．A concert D．a film74．Who is the writer of “My Fat Friend”?A．Tim Danby B．Swan LakeC．Charles Lawrence D．Oxford75．Which of the following is true ?A．Performances start at 8 on weekdays .B．You can get tea and coffee during the performance .C．Seats for the performances cost $4 eachD．The Shanghai Festival Ballet will perform for 5 days .（D）Recently a group of children in America poured some gasoline on a sleeping man and set him on fire .When caught , the children said they had done what they’d seen on TV.The incidents make people angry who believe that American children are harmed by watching too much TV. They claim children can’t tell between the fiction of TV and reality , and TV distracts them from learning and makes them violent .To estimate the impact of TV on young people, “Life” magazine hires a company to interview hundreds of school children in Nora Springs , Iowa and in Dallas , Texas . Although the two cities are very different , the company finds children in each city watch the same TV shows .Many Iowa children , who watch an average of three hours of TV a day , recognizing that life on TV is rosier that what they experience . They favourite shows are situation comedies about American families in trouble . Many boys like violent shows about police detectives or heroes , girls particularly soap operas-stories about families and friends .On the whole , children find real violence on news programs hard to take . “If you see a bus crash on the news , it’s frightening,”one-fifth grader says . By and large , the Iowa children agree that the best thing about TV is it makes you laugh .Children in Dallas are savvier about programs of drug use on TV. “they don’t really show them doing it right . On TV they are not real.” A fifth grader says .“life” agrees with a 1988 study by the U. S Department of education that finds children are none the worse for watching TV. The study finds TV doesn’t have lasting effect on children . On the contrary , kids show good judgment about what they watch . “There are very few good shows on TVanymore,” a 10-year-old boy says .While the debate about TV is so heated , the “Life” survey gives hope that American kids aren’t wasting three or four hours a day (what is worse , by the time young people enter college today , they will have devoted more time to watching television than they will spend in college ). However , a child watching TV isn’t reading a good book of joining in healthful sports . 76．The main idea of the passage is .A．children who watch three or more hours of TV a day are smarter than children who watch only one hour a dayB．watching too much TV can cause children to go out and kill people .C．children learn about drugs from watching TVD．children learn from TV and can tell reality from what they see on it . 77．Children who see real violence on TV news programs .A．change the channel to watch other programsB．think TV gives a very positive image of friendshipC．are sometimes upset and scaredD．live in Iowa or Texas78．Children who enter college today .A．have spent more time watching TV than they will spend in college .B．usually cause the satisfaction of the societyC．think life on TV is happier that their life at homeD．watch most the same TV shows as children in Dallas79．The “Life” survey of children’s TV habits .A．concludes that watching up to seven hours a day of TV is good for childrenB．agree with the U.S. Department of Education study that found few negative effects from watching TVC．concludes that there aren’t any good shows on TV any moreD．concludes that children shouldn’t pour gasoline on sleeping man . （E）Directions : Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading form A-F for each paragraph .There is one extra heading which you do not need .80． The plastic identification (ID) cards carried by all Chinese citizens over 16 are to be replaced with electronic cards from next year . The new cards , which most people will have by 2020, contain a microchip on which personal information is stored . This can be checked against databases kept by the government .81．“The information will be locked into the card so that people won’t be able to use false identities,” said Ren Tianbu , a security official in Shenyang .82． China’s present plastic identity cards were introduced 17 years ago , and a similar system is used by many other countries . However , the information shown on a card differs from nation. Most ID cards show the holder’s name , sex, date of birth and photograph , as well as the card’s expiry date and number .83． Germany, France and Spain all use ID cards , but there are some developed nations who dislike the idea . The US, Canada, New Zealand , Australia, Sweden and Britain are among those with no national ID card . However , some of the counties have ID cards for particular uses . For example , Australia and the United States use a driving license to identify people .84． Identity cards are introduced for a variety of reasons . Race , politics and religion were often at the heart of older ID systems . In recent years , though , ID cards have been linked to national information databases , which form the basis of how a government manages a country . The US, Britain and some other countries are considering a national ID systems a way of preventing possible terrorist attacks .80．Paragraph 1 .81．Paragraph 2 .82．Paragraph 3 .83．Paragraph 4 .84．Paragraph 5 .第二卷（共45分）I．Translation（20分）1．她的行为值得高度表扬。

Scott Kelly said he tried to express that view everywhere he went. And he spoke from experience, having spent a career that included the time as a NASA astronaut, US Navy captain, fighter pilot, and engineer.Scott spoke at the University of North Alabama, sharing stories about his experience of spending a year on the International Space Station (ISS). He said the physical pressure of living in weightlessness for a year was hard to describe and that the fluids(积水) in his head sometimes made him feel like he was standing on his head. It also needed some time to recover when he returned home. “My legs were weak and it would be uncomfortable to sit for a while because my body hadn’t had that pressure so long,” Scott said.He discussed life aboard including spending time with Russian astronauts. They came from different cultures. He had managed to get along well with everyone aboard as they lived together, worked together, and had to rely on each other. He thought it was one of the most rewarding things in his life.Though life there was not easy, Scott never regretted being an astronaut and going to space. He also discussed experiences growing up, admitting that he wasn’t always the greatest student but was able to overcome that through hard work and determination.“Never give up or lower your dreams. If you work for it, all things are possible. There is a zero percent chance of succeeding if you don’t even try. And when you succeed after trying hard, you’ll find it really rewarding,” Scott said in the end.4. Scott mentioned his experience in the ISS mainly to show ________.A. he enjoyed making speechesB. he was a responsible astronautC. his life in space was challengingD. the daily life of an astronaut can be boring5. What may benefit Scott most when he lived with Russian astronauts?A. He won some awards through teamwork.B. He found the fun of living in the Space Station.C. He learned to develop close relationships with others.D. He picked up some knowledge of Russian culture.6. Which of the following can best describe Scott?A. Kind and thoughtful.B. Curious and humorous.C. Easygoing and sociable.D. Hardworking and determined.7. What does the author intend to tell us from Scott’s story?A. It’s importantto have a dreamB. Easy things are also worth doingC. A suitable career leads one to success.D. Difficult things are demanding but rewardingC“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” That’s a common expression, but the next time you throw something away, think about a twist on the old saying. What if your trash could become your own treasure? Many creative, thrifty, and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to makethathappen. It’s called upcycling. Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin upcycling.Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. For example, how about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee? It could become a new pillow for your bedroom.Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Upcycling is actually much better for the environment. Recycling takes an item made of glass, paper, metal, or plastic, breaks it down to its base material, and then uses that material to make another product. This requires a great deal of energy. On the other hand, when you choose to upcycle, the only energy you use is your own. And upcycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills, but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. Recycling is good for the environment, but upcycling is even better.Upcycling also makes a family’s budget stretch further. Of course, the idea of reusing items to save money is not new. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families lived on a tight budget. People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs.As responsible citizens, we should all be concerned with protecting our environment and budgeting ourresources. Upcycling is a fun and creative way to help. The next time you go to toss something into the trash can, stop and think about what it could become. Chances are, there’s a brand-new item in your hand just waiting to be upcycled.8. Why does the author mention an old saying in the first paragraph?A. To arise reader’s awareness of upcycling.B. To stress the importance of upcycling.C. To lead in the topic of upcycling.D. To show the idea of upcycling.9. Which one below belongs to upcycling?A. An old ladder is transformed into a bookshelf.B. Old tin cans are transported to landfill.C. A broken wooden door is chopped up.D. Old cloth is made into a paper bed.10. What is the difference between recycling and upcycling?A. Upcycling is much more creative.B. Recycling is much easier to achieve.C. Recycling is much more cost-saving.D. Upcycling is much more energy-efficient.11. What can be inferred from the text?A. Upcycling is popular at present.B. Upcycling is replacing recycling.C. Upcycling is worth recommending.D. Upcycling is a tradition in daily life.DBack about 20 months ago I started college and just struggled with everything, such as classes and friends. I quickly became depressed and angry at myself for not being about to do better in school, in addition to lack of friends due to poor social and communication skills.This went on for months until my 19th birthday. My parents sent me a cake, which was a great cake. But I remember having this large cake and ly no one to share it with. I ended throwing out the cake after having one piece, with about 90 % of it leftover. That night I was depressed that I decided to go outside to the freezingtemperature of the winter and run. I put my earphones in, went outside and ran about 2 miles at 11 p.m. on my birthday.When I got back inside I was content. I was proud of what I was able to do. The next night I did the same. I wasn’t quick or fit but you know that I went outside and did something. This continued for about 2 months until I finally worked up the courage to go to the gym, where I started swimming again as I used to in high school. A month went by and I started lifting weights and continually running.Looking back I can see that exercise helped cure my depression but it didn’t only do that. At the gym I met new friends and back at my dorm I grew confidence to go to the end of the hall seeing people playing Super Smash Brothers and ask if I could join.So go forward to present now.

Technologies 49 as digital wide-band network communication, radio transmission and Internet technology will be widely used in the Olympic Park.III．Reading Comprehension（50分）Section 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 fits the context.The Part of the environmental movement that draws my firm’s attention is the design of cities, buildings and products. When we designed America’s first so-called “green” offi ce building in New York two decades ago, we felt very alone. But today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the 50 that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to 51 .Ba ck in 1984, we discovered that most manufactured products for decoration weren’t designed for 52 use. The “energy-efficient” sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis 53 indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So far 20 years, we’ve been focusing on these materials down to the molecules（分子）, looking for ways to make them 54 for people and the planet.Home builders can now use materials-such as paints that release significantly reduced amounts of organic（有机物的）compounds-that don’t55 the quality of the air, water, or soil. Ultimately（最终）, however, our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being ‘less bad’ but on creating 56 healthful materials that can be either safely returned to the soil 57 reused by industry again and again. As a matter of 58 , the world’s largest carpet manufacturer has already 59 a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable.Look at it this way: No one 60 out to create a building that destroys the planet. But our current industrial systems are 61 causing these conditions, whether we like it or not. So 62 of simply trying to reduce the derange, we are 63 a positive approach. We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that has a 64 effect on the world. It’s not just the building industry, either. Entire cities are taking these environmentally positive approaches to design, planning and building. Portland, Seattle and Boston have said they want to be green cities. Chicago wants to be the greenest city in the world.50．A．practice B．outlook C．idea D．scheme51．A．go B．come C．arrive D．continue 52．A．indoor B．inward C．relevant D．flexible53．A．displayed B．discovered C．exhibited D．revealed 54．A．comfortable B．careful C．safe D．stable 55．A．deny B．disclose C．dissolve D．destroy 56．A．partially B．exactly C．completely D．superficially 57．A．or B．and C．but D．nor 58．A．interest B．fact C．principle D．course 59．A．sketched B．constructed C．researched D．developed 60．A．starts B．pulls C．looks D．makes 61．A．basically B．originally C．traditionally D．inevitably 62．A．because B．instead C．out D．regardless 63．A．adjusting B．admitting C．adopting D．adapting 64．A．functional B．beneficial C．precious D．sensibleSection 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“She was born for the camera,” said a photographer who shot Liu Yifei’s picture when she was only eight.Over the past year, Liu, an 18-year-old Chinese American, has shot to fame while playing Wang Yuyan,, in Jin Yong's "Eightfold Path of the Heavenly Dragon" (《天龙八部》). Millions of teenagers have been drawn in by her light smile and beautiful long hair. Many magazines have described her as one of the most charming young actresses of 20XX. People say that Liu will be even bigger this year."She is so beautiful on TV. She has the special character to give flesh and blood to the fairy-like and beautiful Wang Yuyan," said Yang Mingwei, a Senior 2 boy and Liu fan from WuyiHigh School in Fujian.Currently Liu is filming the TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes" (《神雕侠侣》), another Jin Yong novel. In the show to be aired this year, Liu plays the Little Dragon Girl.Liu is currently a grade three student at the Beijing Film Academy (北京电影学院), the star factory of China. But some people say that her success is only down to her beauty. When she returned to China with her mother at the age of 14, she did originally work as a model. It was when a director saw her picture on an advertisement board on the street that her opportunity to work in TV arose."A pretty face does not last forever. To be a good actress you must work hard and have a professional attitude," Liu said. Every day she spends hours practicing all the kungfu kicks and punches (踢打) for the show."There have been times during filming when I have remained hanging in the air on wires for half a day as the director keeps trying to get the perfect take," said Liu recently.65．In the first paragraph, the photographer commented on Liu’s.A．beauty B．talent as an actressC．promising future D．special character66．When Yang Mingwei, a student from Fujian said those words about Liu, he meant that.A．LiuYifei was very lucky to play the role of WangYuyanB．she is more beautiful than WangYuyanC．she did a good job in playing WangYuyanD．she worked very hard when she played Wang Yuyan67．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Liu Yifei thinks her beauty contributed to her success.B．She has become a citizen of the US.C．She graduated from the BeijingFilmAcademy a couple of months ago.D．Liu Yifei failed to improve her English when she studied in America.BBy 2050……Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.TV channels will have disappeared．Instead, people will choose a program from a "menu" and a computer will send the program directly to the television．Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away．By 2050,music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer．Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast．Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents．Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are．By 2050,the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination．Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours．Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again．By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours．Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots．Big companies prefer robots—they don’ t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day．By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes．Medical technology will have conquered many diseases．Today, there arc electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear.

Think you know how to do it? Try this simple test: sit or stand wherever you are and take a deep breath, then let it out. What expanded more as you breathed in, your chest or your abdomen (腹部) If the answer is your chest, you're like most people and you're doing it wrong. Take another deep breath-and keep reading.The technique is so powerful that physician James Gordon, director of the Centre for Mind/Body Medicine in Washington, teaches it to nearly every patient he sees."Slow, deep breathing is probably the only best antistress medicine we have," says Gordon, "When you bring air down into the lower part of the lungs, where oxygen exchange is most efficient, everything changes. Heart rate slows, blood pressure decrease, muscles relax, anxiety ceases and the mind calms."Obviously, everyone alive knows how to breathe. But Gordon and other experts in the field of mind-body medicine say that few people in industrialized societies know how to breathe correctly. They are taught to suck in their guts (内脏) and puff out (鼓起) their chests. At the same time, they are attacked with constant stress, which causes heart rate to increase. As a result, they become shallow "chest breathers", using primarily the middle and upper portions of the lungs. Few people - other than musicians, singers and some athletes - are even aware that the abdomen should expand when they breathe in."Watch a baby breathe," says Gordon, "and you'll see the abdomen go up and down, deep and slow." With age, most people change from this healthy abdominal breathing into shallow chest breathing.At Duke University Medical Centre, Dr. Jon Seskevich has taught abdominal breathing to most of the 18,000 patients he's worked with since 1990. About half the people he sees have cancer.One of his most dramatic cases involved a lung-cancer patient. "I walked into the room to find this large man actually fighting for breath," Seskevich recalls. "I had his sit back in his chair and place his feet on the ground. I then asked if it was OK if I touched his abdomen. He nodded, so I put my hand on and told him to breathe softly into my hand, to let his abdomen rise into my hand."After about six minutes of this, he was breathing comfortably. "All day, people were telling his to relax," says Seskvich, "and it seemed to make his struggle worse. I just told him to breathe into his abdomen. We didn't cure his cancer, but we may have saved him a trip to the intensive-care unit"72．The best antistress medicine discussed in the passage is ________.A．a newly-acquired technique B．a powerful medicineC．chest breathing D．slow, deep breathing73．Among the following people, who tend to know the correct way of breathing according to the passageA．Cancer patients. B．School children.C．Sportsmen. D．University professors.74．If Dr. Seskevich hadn't taught the lung-cancer patient how to breathe, _____.A．he would have died of cancerB．he wouldn't have been cured of his illnessC．he wouldn't have been savedD．he would have been sent to the intensive-care unit75．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．Babies have been taught to breathe correctly.B．Most people don't know how to breathe correctly.C．Most people give up abdominal breathing when grown up.D．With their heart rate slowing and blood pressure decreasing, people feel calm and relaxed.DConcern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchman. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the great efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.Some day that French has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly-line(流水线)life”will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life — to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local café?Since the late 1950s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture, Occasionally, they have created against the trend with considerable violence.In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believed that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.76．Which of the following is a feature of the old French way of life?A．Leisure, elegance, and efficiencyB．Elegance, efficiency and tasteC．Leisure, elegance, and tasteD．Efficiency, taste, and convenient.77．Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?A．Many of them prefer the modern life style.B．They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.C．They are more concerned with money than before.D．They are more competitive than the old generation.78．The passage suggests that ________.A．great changes have occurred in the life style of all FrenchmenB．it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the riverC．the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked applesD．in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhere79．The main idea of the passage is “”.A．Changes in the French Way of Life B．Criticism of the New Life StyleC．The Americanization of France D．Features of the New Way of LifeSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. These is one extra heading which you do not need.A．Think while you are readingB．Select a proper materialC．Five suggestions for achieving better resultsD．Read loudlyE．Read onF．Use a dictionary at a right timeEffective reading should adopt a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less. Here are some hints for reading effectively.80．Don’t choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read. A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly. To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often. It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary. It hasno fun at all! On the contrary, a too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help. The two extreme s may at last make you give up reading. So it’s better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page.81．If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible. Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text. This ability is quite necessary in reading. If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well stimulated. If a word really hinders you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then. I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image”.82．To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas on some special issues. Try to scribble some lines – a very short journal, to express your ideas. Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive. This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors. Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing.83．Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English. Don’t merely take English as a “test”. Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning.Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like. Try to read them as loudly and impassionedly as you can. During this process, not only you can enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved.84．The last but not the least, keep on reading. If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining.第Ⅱ卷（45分）I．Translation（20分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the word or phrase given in the brackets.1．游客不能进入这座寺庙参观。

Tristin Saghin enjoyed themovie “Black Hawk Down” very much, which is about the conflict inSomalia. The battle scenes and the exciting rescues of people who are dying interested him greatly.There was just one problem: Tristin was only 9 years old, and it was thought that movie was not for children. When his parents caught him watching it on TV, they made him turn it off, though he had finished his homework and it was not late. Then one day, Tristin and his family were visiting his grandmother inMesa,Arizona. Tristin’s 2-year-old sister got out of the house and fell in the backyard pool. Realizing the little girl was missing, the family ran outside, only to find the girl had fallen into the water.Pulled from the pool and placed on the ground, the child wasn’t breathing. The family called the ambulance, but no one knew how to do first aid. No one, that is, except for Tristin. A scene in “Black Hawk Down” describes a doctor giving first aid. Tristin remembered it. Then the 9-year-old gave first aid to his sister at once and saved her life.His parents don’t stop him seeing the movies he likes any more.Tristin taught himself how to do first aid but he had never thought he could use it to save his little sister’s life. Any skill can be used in time, so you should always learn.4. According to the text, Tristin Saghin ________.A. lived inMesa,ArizonaB. disliked studying very muchC. was always ready to help othersD. was nine years old5. Why did Tristin Saghin’s parents order him to turn off the TV?A. They wanted him to help look after his sister.B. He often spent too much time watching films.C. They thought the film was not good for children.D. He was asked to finish his homework first.6. How was Tristin’s sister saved?A. Tristin gave first aid to her.B. The ambulance arrived in time.C. A doctor passing by gave a hand.D. Her parents sent her to hospital at once.7. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to advise readers to ________.A. see more moviesB. learn more skillsC. save others bravelyD. do what they likeCWhile the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy（欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposingforces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment.

Each passages 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 heard.（A）A student who enters a university in the second half of the 20th century is in a new situation. He is not like the young man of the early 19th who came to sit at the feet of the masters and left as a master. That situation no longer exists, because now it is not only the student who changes. He may grow fast, but science grows still faster.The young German philosophy Hegel, writing at the beginning of the 19th century, believed that one man’s mind could contain all the knowledge of his times. At that time it was perfectly possible for a man to hold such a belief and to base his life on it. Hegel’s friend Goethe wrote a famous poem about a young man who hoped to translate this purpose into reality. They young man in the poem was called Fraust. But Hegel’s situation was slightly different from Fraust’s because Fraust, the hero of the poem, had the devil to help him, while Hegel had only his professors.Today a very different situation exists, a situation in which the professor and the devil have lost most of their power. Today a student cannot master knowledge, he can only be its servant. He knows that he can become familiar only with a small corner of knowledge, and that his learning will always be imperfect and incomplete.But he can still hope to add something to the sum of knowledge, and so make the situation slightly more difficult for those who come after him.65．The poem about Fraust is mentioned to tell us .A．he was a young man.B．he got the devil’s help.C．the situation was slightly more difficult for those who came after him.D．today’s learning situation is much different from that in the past. 66．A student of the 20th century is faced with a new situation because .A．he has to learn entirely on his own. B．he can never be a master now.C．science grows very fast. D．he is changing all the time 67．Today a student knows that .A．his knowledge is often incorrect.B．he cannot learn more than the students in the 19th century did.C．those who come after him will have greater difficulties in learningD．his knowledge is very limited compared with the total amount68．The best title for this passage might be .A．Hegel, the Great German Philosopher.B．The Learning Situation in the Modern UniversityC．How to Study at a Modern UniversityD．The Rapid Development of Science（B）In May 1994, When Ralph Illion was a sailor stationed in the Pacific, he wrote a love letter to a girl named Gloria back in Chicago. He also wrote to his wife, Lillian. You can imagine Lillian’s surprise when she opened her letter and found Gloria’s included.“Dear Gloria,”it began.“It’s about time I introduced myself. We haven’t met, yet I have heard so much about you, I must say I’ve fallen in love.”“This confession might come as a shock, since you know nothing about me except what other people have told you. Don’t take them too seriously. I’m really a badfellow once you get to know me. And my feelings for you will never change as long as I live.”“I hope this makes the proper impression and you won’t think me too bold. Send me a picture. And please keep my love for you locked in your heart, have it opened only when I call for it in person.”Gloria, now in her mid-40s, mailed me the letter, along with the one Ralph wrote in May 1944 to Lillian. Gloria was three months old when Ralph, her father, mailed them both. He’d been on a warship for ten months and had never seen her. He’s 80 now and still happily married to Lillian, Gloria’s mom.69．After Lillian read these letters .A．she was very angry with her husband B．she didn’t know what to doC．she was very surprised D．she was very glad and laughed 70．Which of the following took place ?A．Lillian divorced Ralph after she read the letter .B．Gloria refused Ralph’s love .C．Ralph remarried Lillian when he was 80.D．Ralph sent a letter to Lillian and one to Gloria in the same envelop . 71．When Ralph wrote these letters , he was .A．in his 40s B．a young fellow C．in his 30s D．at the age of 80 72．We can infer that .A．Lillian hated RalphB．Ralph was an amusing manC．Gloria didn’t think Ralph was a good boyfriendD．Ralph put the two letters in one envelop by carelessness（C）73．What Kind of performance does the Newton theatre have in January ?A．A comedy . B．A ballet C．A concert D．a film74．Who is the writer of “My Fat Friend”?A．Tim Danby B．Swan LakeC．Charles Lawrence D．Oxford75．Which of the following is true ?A．Performances start at 8 on weekdays .B．You can get tea and coffee during the performance .C．Seats for the performances cost $4 eachD．The Shanghai Festival Ballet will perform for 5 days .（D）Recently a group of children in America poured some gasoline on a sleeping man and set him on fire .When caught , the children said they had done what they’d seen on TV.The incidents make people angry who believe that American children are harmed by watching too much TV. They claim children can’t tell between the fiction of TV and reality , and TV distracts them from learning and makes them violent .To estimate the impact of TV on young people, “Life”magazine hires a company to interview hundreds of school children in Nora Springs , Iowa and in Dallas , Texas . Although the two cities are very different , the company finds children in each city watch the same TV shows .Many Iowa children , who watch an average of three hours of TV a day , recognizing that life on TV is rosier that what they experience . They favourite shows are situation comedies about American families in trouble . Many boys like violent shows about police detectives or heroes , girls particularly soap operas-stories about families and friends .On the whole , children find real violence on news programs hard to take . “If you see a bus crash on the news , it’s frightening,” one-fifth grader says . By and large , the Iowa children agree that the best thing about TV is it makes you laugh .Children in Dallas are savvier about programs of drug use on TV. “they don’t really show them doing it right . On TV they are not real.” A fifth grader says .“life”agrees with a 1988 study by the U. S Department of education that finds children are none the worse for watching TV. The study finds TV doesn’t have lasting effect on children . On the contrary , kids show good judgment about what they watch . “There are very few good shows on TV anymore,” a 10-year-old boy says .While the debate about TV is so heated , the “Life” survey gives hope that American kids aren’t wasting three or four hours a day (what is worse , by the time young people enter college today , they will have devoted more time to watching television than they will spend in college ). However , a child watching TV isn’t reading a good book of joining in healthful sports .76．The main idea of the passage is .A．children who watch three or more hours of TV a day are smarter than children who watch only one hour a dayB．watching too much TV can cause children to go out and kill people .C．children learn about drugs from watching TVD．children learn from TV and can tell reality from what they see on it . 77．Children who see real violence on TV news programs .A．change the channel to watch other programsB．think TV gives a very positive image of friendshipC．are sometimes upset and scaredD．live in Iowa or Texas78．Children who enter college today .A．have spent more time watching TV than they will spend in college .B．usually cause the satisfaction of the societyC．think life on TV is happier that their life at homeD．watch most the same TV shows as children in Dallas79．The “Life” survey of children’s TV habits .A．concludes that watching up to seven hours a day of TV is good for children B．agree with the U.S. Department of Education study that found few negative effects from watching TVC．concludes that there aren’t any good shows on TV any moreD．concludes that children shouldn’t pour gasoline on sleeping man .（E）Directions : Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading form A-F for each paragraph .There is one extra heading which you do not need .80． The plastic identification (ID) cards carried by all Chinese citizens over 16 are to be replaced with electronic cards from next year . The new cards , which most people will have by 2005, contain a microchip on which personal information is stored . This can be checked against databases kept by the government .81．“The information will be locked into the card so that people won’t be able to use false identities,”said Ren Tianbu , a security official in Shenyang .82． China’s present plastic identity cards were introduced 17 years ago , and a similar system is used by many other countries . However , the information shown on a card differs from nation. Most ID cards show the holder’s name , sex, date of birth and photograph , as well as the card’s expiry date and number .83． Germany, France and Spain all use ID cards , but there are some developed nations who dislike the idea . The US, Canada, New Zealand , Australia, Sweden and Britain are among those with no national ID card . However , some of the counties have ID cards for particular uses . For example , Australia and the United States use a driving license to identify people .84． Identity cards are introduced for a variety of reasons . Race , politics and religion were often at the heart of older ID systems . In recent years , though , ID cards have been linked to national information databases , which form the basis of how a government manages a country . The US, Britain and some other countries are considering a national ID systems a way of preventing possible terrorist attacks .80．Paragraph 1 .81．Paragraph 2 .82．Paragraph 3 .83．Paragraph 4 .84．Paragraph 5 .第二卷（共45分）I．Translation（20分）1．她的行为值得高度表扬。
