AThe Docklands Light Railway(DLR) took just three years to build at a cost of ￡77 million. It is London’s first Light Rail System, but its route follows that of a number of older lines, which carried the nineteenth century railways through the crowded districts of the East End.The section of the line from the Tower Gateway Station to Poplar follows the line of one of London’s earliest railways, the London & Blackwell(1840), a cable-drawn railway(later converted to steam) which carried passengers to steam ships at Blackwell Pier, and provided transport for the messengers and clerks who went backwards and forwards between the docks and the city every day.From Poplar to Island Gardens, a new line crosses high above the dock waters, and then joins the old track of the Millwall Extension Railway, built to service the Millwall Docks(1868) and to provide transport for workers in the local factories. This line was horse-drawn for part of its route, until the 1880s.The Poplar to Stratford section of the DLR route was first developed by the North London Railway, built in the 1850s to link the West and East India Docks with the manufacturing districts of the Midlands and North of England. There were major railway works and sidings(岔线) at Bow until recently.The trains are automatically controlled from a central computer, which deals with all signaling and other safety factors, as well as adjusting speeds to keep within the timetable; on board each vehicle, Train Captains, who are also fully qualified drivers, are equipped with two-way radios to maintain contact with central control. There are passenger lifts, and self-service ticket machines, at every station.21. The history of the railway tells us that the DLR ______.A. was begun in the nineteen centuryB. follows some of the original lineC. will be finished in three years’ timeD. took three years longer than expected to complete22. It appears that the Poplar to Stratford section of the DLR route was originally developed to ____.A. make the transport of goods easierB. encourage trade abroadC. promote the transport in EnglandD. create employment at home23. The trains on the DLR are controlled by ______.A. drivers on the trains themselvesB. two-way radios operated by the driversC. a computer on board the trainD. a computer based elsewhereBCalifornia’s attack on second-hand smoke reached its historic high this New Year, when even indoor areas in bars and casinos became smoke-free by force of law. The rules on smoke exposure have taken a 180-degree turn in less than a generation. In the United States ofmy youth, every citizen was hostage（人质）to other people’s cigarettes in airplanes, in offices and in almost every other public place. Now the indoor areas of public life are all nonsmoking zones — an inconvenience for the 25% of adults who smoke, but a benefit of large proportions to the breathing system of the 75% who do not.In the cold and flu, the greatest risk of appearing in public is not tobacco smoke, but rather contagious（接触传染的）disease. And strangers who would not dream of blowing smoke in your face seem happy enough about coughing and sneezing whenever they see you coming.Isn’t there a double standard here, when the same folks prohibited from smoking in my office building can sneeze me home for a week of hell with the ruling bacterium of the season? Why don’t the contagious among us stay home or wear those cut little paper nose and mouth covers or at least feel bad about putting the rest of us at risk of sharing their misery?Could it be that the similarity passing a law that requires germ-free public spaces. But two smaller lessons do come from the contrasting treatment of germs and cigarettes. The first lesson is that what we accept in public is much more a matter of particular social expectation than scientific studies. The French read scientific journals just as diligently as do Americans, yet the average French cafe contains more smoke than a forest fire. You are more likely to encounter a face full of tobacco smoke if you go to Japan this year than you would in Los Aneles. But you will also notice hundreds of people on the subway in Japan who wear paper mask to avoid spreading contagious disease that they carry. Which culture is more considerate depends on the particular subject of the inquiry. The standard for what is polite in public varies tremendously from one social setting to another.24. The first paragraph tells us ________.A. the rules on smoke exposure have become less strictB. in the past pe ople exposed to other people’s cigarettes complained a lotC. in California, smoke-free zones in public places have existed for a long timeD. most people can benefit from banning indoor smoking in public places25. What can be inferred from the passage?A. People think coughing and sneezing are less harmful than smoking in public.B. Sick people should live alone and stay home wearing paper masks all winter.C. Strangers will feel bad when they cough and sneeze in front of other people.D. Those with contagious diseases feel bad sharing their misery with others.26. The tone of the passage is best described as ______.A. encouragingB. worryingC. carefreeD. suspicious27. What does the author want to express in this passage?A. Learn from Japan.B. Don’t smoke indoors.C. Pay attention to environmental germs.D. Stay home all winter.CGoogle “information overload” and you are immediately overloaded with information: more than 7m hits in 0.05 seconds. Some of this information is interesting: for example, the phrase “information overload” was popularised by Alvin Toffler in 1970. Some of it is mere noise: obscure companies promoting their services and even more obscure bloggers sounding off. The overall impression is at once overwhelming and confusing.“Information overload” is one of the biggest irritations in modern life. There are e-mails to answer, YouTube videos to watch and, back in the physical world, meetings to attend and papers to shuffle（翻动）. A survey by Reuters once found that two-thirds of managers believe that the data deluge（泛滥）had made their jobs less satisfying or hurt their personal relationships. One-third thought that it had damaged their health. Another survey suggests that most managers think most of the information they receive is useless. Some researchers raise three big worries. First, information overload can make people feel anxious and powerless: scientists have discovered that multitaskers produce more stress hormones. Second, overload can discourage creativity. Teresa Amabile of Harvard Business School has spent more than a decade studying the work habits of 238 people. She finds that focus and creativity are connected. People are more likely to be creative if they are allowed to focus on something for some time without interruptions. If constantly interrupted or forced to attend meetings, they are less likely to be creative. Third, overload can also make workers less productive. David Meyer of the University of Michigan has shown that people who complete certain tasks in parallel take much longer and make many more errors than people who complete the same tasks in sequence.What can be done about information overload? One answer is technological: rely on the people who created the fog to invent filters（过滤器）that will clean it up. Xerox promises to restore “information purity” by developing better filtering and managing devices. A second answer involves willpower. Turn off your mobile phone and WiFi from time to time. Most companies are better at giving employees access to the information superhighway than at teaching them how to drive. This is starting to change. Management consultants have spotted an opportunity. Derek Dean and Caroline Webb of McKinsey urge businesses to apply three principles to deal with data overload: find time to focus, filter out noise and forgetabout work when you can. Business leaders are chipping in. David Novak of Yum! Brands urges people to ask themselves whether what they are doing is construct ive or a mere “activity”. Cristobal Conde of SunGard, an IT firm, preserves “thinking time” in his schedule when he cannot be disturbed. This might sound like common sense. But common sense is rare amid the cacophony（不和谐的声音）of corporate life.28. According to the survey conducted by Reuters, most managers believe ______.A. the data deluge does harm to their health.B. most information they receive is of great use.C. information overload destroys their personal relationship.D. their jobs are satisfying thanks to the rich information on the Internet.29. Which of the following is NOT a damaging effect of information overload?A. Making people unproductive.B. Causing people to lack creativity.C. Arousing people’s negative feelings.D. Leaving people bad at multitasking.30. The technological way to deal with information overload is to ______.A. improve the technique for filtering dataB. limit the uploading of informationC. provide limited access to the InternetD. develop better search engines31. Which of the following action may Derek Dean and Caroline Webb approve of?A. Listening to music while working.B. Finishing several tasks at the same time.C. Taking your mind off work occasionally.D. Avoiding using your common sense in your work.DIn my high school English class in a small Mississippi town, Miss Denman tried to insert our sleepy heads that every novel had to do one of the three things: tell something; show something; prove something. She then read us one she considered a piece of perfect writing because it achieved all the three things: The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, whose remaining stories and essays have now been published.As Miss Denman began reading —“The morning of June 27th was clear and su nny, with the fresh warmth of a full summer day; the flowers were blossoming（开花）freely and the grass was richly green” —we were calmed into “the square between the post office and the bank” of a small American town, where all 300 citizens are met. They’ve come to draw lots（抽签）for the lottery of each year that ends before noon. The person holding the paper with a black mark is then led to a clearing and stoned to death by all the town’s citizens.When The Lottery first appeared in The New Yorker in 1948, the magazine was flooded with letters from angry readers demanding to know what it was about. Unlike those confused The New Yorker readers, Miss Denman’s students weren’t confused by a story in which foolish violence was passed down through the generations. Ours was a Gothic world and Shirley Jackson seemed to our ears like Flannery O’Connor without the Georgia accent.Forty years passed before I read anything else by Shirley Jackson. Then I happened upon her final novel —We Have Always Lived in the Castle, published in 1962, three years before her death in 1965 — a true excellent work whose young main female character, Merricat Blackwood, is as precocious（早熟的）and worth remembering as any young people in the 20th-century American novels. She describe s: “I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise.I like my sister Constance, and my uncle Julian, and the poisonous mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead.” Six years ago Blackwood’s parents, an aunt, and a younger brother were murdered — poisoned with arsenic（砒霜）.Fifty years after her untimely death, Let Me Tell You, a new reminder of how excellent a writer Shirley Jackson came out. The stories, essays, and lectures in this brilliant new collection include some published before and some able to the public for the first time. The title comes from the book’s only unfinished story, about two 14-year-old friends, the spoiled daughters of rich fathers. Their snobbery（势利）performances counteract beliefs of classlessness in American: “My father is a lawyer. It’s i mportant what your father is. Also it’s important to have a swimming pool, only not the biggest swimming pool of all and of course no one would dream of going near it.” The reader is eager to know what happens but even Jackson’s finished stories are rarely tied up with appropriate endings. She counted on the reader to make an effort.Let Me Tell You feels like a direct communication from beyond the tomb with the writer. This is especially true of her essays on the skill of writing. With the publication of Let Me Tell You, Shirley Jackson can now enjoy a peace with a new world of readers. The woman of Gothic psychological novel can truly rest in peace.32. Miss Denman chose to read her students The Lottery mainly because ______.A. it’s one of her fav orite novelsB. it’s a good example to explain the features of novelsC. it has skillfully-arranged plots and beautiful statementsD. it’s a masterpiece of an American literary writer, Shirley Jackson33. What can we learn about The Lottery?A. It has a beautiful beginning but a sad ending.B. Whoever got the lottery in the story was a lucky dog.C. Living in the Gothic world, its writer was good Gothic novels.D. It confused The New Yorker readers as well as Denman’s students.34. According to Shirley Jackson’s final novel, ______.A. Merricat was a quiet girl full of love for everythingB. only Merricat and her two sisters survived the murderC. Merricat became as mature as her peers after the murderD. altogether four people in the family died from being poisoned35. What does the underlined word “counteract” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A. Act against.B. Make stronger.C. Make clear.D. Throw doubt on第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Glass has manye_traordinary qualities and it is frequently being used in new ways.One of the most interestingnew uses for glass is in telephone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibres (纤维) as thin as human hair which aredesigned to carry light signals. When the light reaches the other end, it isfirst changed into electrical signals, which are in turn converted (转变) into sound messages.Called light-wave communication, the new system was used successfully in ane_periment in Chicago in 1977. During the e_periment two glass fibres were ableto carry 672 conversations at the same time. The light-wave cable, containing 144 glass fibres, has thecapacity (容量) to carry 50,000 conversations at the same time. The lightwavecommunication system has two important advantages. First the glass fibre cablesare smaller and weigh less than copper (铜) cables;second, they cost less.56. One of the e_traordinary qualitiesof glass is that it can carry______.A. any signalB. light signalsC. sound signalsD.electrical signals57. Before you can hear amessage on the telephone using the new system, ______.A. the light signals have to bechanged into electrical soundB. neither the light nor theelectrical signals have to be changed in any wayC .light must first be changed intoelectrical signals and then into soundD. electrical signals must first bechanged into light signals and then into sounds58. According to thepassage the new telephone communication system _______.A. was put on e_periment in 1977B. had been put into actual use by1977C. had been repeatedly e_perimentedbefore 1977D. was first put into actual use in197759. From the passage, you can tell that peopleprefer glass fibre cables to copper cables because ______.A. glass fibre is easier to makeB. glass fibre is less e_pensiveC. glass fibre is more up to dateD. glass fibre delivers messagesdirectly60. Which of the followingstatements best e_presses the main idea of the passage?A. Light signals have changed the useof glass in industry.B. Glass fibres have reduced the costof telephone communication.C. Glass is very useful because it hasmany unusual qualities.D. The use of glass fibres to carrytelephone messages is aninteresting new development.BDenny Parker lived in a bad place. Because of a youth gang(帮派), he wantedto leave the area. Thegang often caused trouble in the high school.As hewas walking out of history class one day, Denny bumped into (ran into) anotherstudent. 〝Sorry,〞 hesaid, and keptwalking. But he wasstopped. Turningaround, he foundhimself facing a very large, angry boy. It was Bill Douglas, a member of the gang!〝Hey,you pushed me!〞 Bill cried.〝Comeon, Bill,〞 answered Denny. 〝I said I was sorry.〞〝You’regoing to be sorry,〞 Bill said. 〝I will give you a lesson after school.〞〝Oh, no,〞 thought Denny, hurrying to his ne_t class. 〝I’m in trouble now.〞 The more he thoughtaboutit, the morefearful he became.Thena word came to Denny’s mind—courage (勇气). He decided to face it with courage. He had nothing to lose—e_cept a few teeth. After school, many students waited on thecorner. News had spread that there would be a fight. Bill Douglas and his gang werewaiting, too.〝Hey, Parker,〞 Bill laughed as Denny walkednear. 〝Let meteach you a lesson.〞Denny answeredloudly, 〝Well, come on. I’m not afraid. 〞Therewas silence. Then thestudents began to applaud (鼓掌). They cried, 〝Denny! Denny!〞 The noise was very loud. The gang members ran away one byone. Denny wonwith his courage.61.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance.For hundreds ofyears after that there were few inventions that had as much effect(影响)as the wheel. Then in the early1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in theworld. People didn’t have to e_plore much any more. They began to work insteadto make life better.In the secondhalf of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were thecamera, the electric light and radio. These all became a big part of our lifetoday.The first part ofthe 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Sound movies in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also atime when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed thekind of clothes people wear.The middle partof the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives.Bythe 1960’s most people could e_pect to live to be at least 60.By this time most people had a very good life. Of course newinventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to e_plore again. Theworld is known to man but stars are not yet. Man began looking for ways to gointo space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Sincethen other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventionswill someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.64. In the early 1800’s, people began to work in order to make ___.A. a tripinto space B. e_plorations C. life betterD. discoveries65. Nyloncame out nearly at the same time as ___.A. jetplanes B. the radio C. the cameraD. the movies66. Man didn’t have a desire to e_plore a lot ___.A. until the 20th centuryB. in the 1960’sC. in the last two centuriesD. at the beginning of the 1800’s67. This passage talks mainly about ____.A. why cars were very importantB. which country made the first step into spaceC.how inventions affectpeople’s lives D. when the electric light was inventedDHaving returned fromher round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station.〝Therailway owes me _pound;12,〞 she said to Hart Jenks, the youngman working at the office. 〝You sold me a ticket for May22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and Ihadto stay in a hotel. It cost me _pound; 12.〞 Harry was worried; he rememberedselling the woman a return ticket. 〝Come into the office, Madam,〞 he said politely.〝I’ll just check the Jersey time table for May 22nd.〞The woman and herlittle girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harrison discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such acareless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket that day. Wondering what to do,he smiled at the child. 〝You look sunburst,〞 he said toher. 〝Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?〞〝Yes,〞 she answered,shyly. 〝The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!〞〝That’s fine,〞 saidHarry. 〝My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three...〞〝I’m four,〞 the childsaid proudly 〝I’ll be four and a half.〞Harry turned to themother. 〝I remember your ticket, Madam,〞 he said.〝But youdidn’t get one for your daughter, did you?〞〝Err, well,〞 the woman looked atthe child. 〝I mean…, she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.〞〝A four-year-old child must have aticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jerseycosts..., let me see..._pound; 13.50.So if therailway pays your hotel, you will owe _pound; 1.50.The lawis the law, but since the fault was mine...〞 The woman stood up,took the child’s hand and left the office.68.

Manyold-fashionedideas about what our children ought to do in life are no longer preferable. Apart from the traditional academic careers (生涯.职业) in science, medicine, law, and the arts, we also need skilledtechnicians, technologists and businessmen. We need to modernize our industriesand give an encouragement to trade. Young people should be encouraged to seethe value of all trades, crafts, and professions and to look upon the career they have chosen with interest and pride.In the old days sons followed their father’s trade or profession and took up the occupation that best suited the interests of the family and possibly of society too. Total freedom in the choice of a career is often aburden to the individual and a danger to society.Nowadays most young people are encouraged to choose their owncareers according to their personal abilities and interests. This concern forthe vocational aspect of a career is all very well received, but young peopleare often poor judges of their own abilities and need guidance in the choice ofa career.73.

Jiaodi: Chinese-style wrestling
Sumo, known as Japan's “national sport”, actually started in ancient China. Sumo was called jiaodi or jiaoli in ancient times. Ancient jiaodi,a Chinese-style wrestling, was performed by athletes wearing ox horns and wrestling with each other imitating wild oxen. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, jiaodi was highly favored by emperors. In the Tang Dynasty, jiaodi was part of military training and a kind of entrainment and athletic sports.
The ancient capital Xi'an in Northwest China's Shaanxi province is holding the National Games. As the capital of 13 dynasties throughout Chinese history, the ancient city has never been far from sports. Starting from theWestern Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the city has held many sports events.

Someone with a positive manner, perhaps a detective, used the expression “mad man” as he bent over Wilson’s body that afternoon, and the adventitious authority of his voice set the key for the newspaper reports next morning.Most of those reports were a nightmare --- grotesque, circumstantial, eager and untrue. When Michaelis’s testimony at the inquest brought to light Wilson’s suspicions of his wife, I thought the whole tale would shortly be served up in racy pasquinade --- but Catherine, who might have said anything, didn’t say a word. She showed a surprising amount of character about it too --- looked at the coroner with determined eyes under that corrected brow of hers and swore that her sister Daisy had never seen Gatsby, that her sister was completely happy with her husband Tom, that they were spending a nice time in London. She convinced herself of it and cried into her handkerchief as if the very suggestion was more than she could endure. So Wilson was reduced to a man “deranged by grief” in order that the case might remain in its simplest form. And it rested there.I think it was on the third day that a telegram signed Henry C．Gatz arrived from a town in Minnesota. It said only that the owl-eyed man was leaving immediately and to postpone the funeral until he came.It was Gatsby’s father, a solemn old man very helpless and dismayed, bundled up in a long cheap ulster against the warm September day. His eyes leaked continuously with excitement and when I took the bag and umbrella from his hands he began to pull so incessantly at his sparse grey beard that I had difficulty in getting off his coat.And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually, I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes ---a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby’s house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter --- tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning ---So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.4．What does Daisy do after Gatsby is killed?A．She is very sad at the news.B．She goes on vacation with Tom.C．She phones from Chicago and sends flowers.D．She comes to his house and weeps uncontrollably.5．Why was Wilson thought as a man “deranged by grief”?A．To express his anger for Daisy.B．To show his sorrow for Gatsby.C．To confirm Wilson as a “mad man”.D．To keep the case as simple as it was before.6．Who is Henry C．Gatz?A．The man who buys Gatsby’s house.B．Gatsby’s father.C．A policeman who comes to the funeral.D．One of Gatsby’s neighbor.7．What’s the structure of the passage?A．①①—①①—①①B．①—①①①①—①C．①①—①①①—①D．①—①①①—①①What are the limits of the human body? Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to do something?“One thing we’ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible,” says Dr. Jack Wilmore, author of Physiology of Sport and Exercise. “As time goes by, I think you’ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes involved and competing, records will fall and new standards will be set.”Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that theory wrong with a three-minute, 59-second mile in 1954. Today, sub-four-minute miles are considered routine even in high school. And Bob Beamon stretched human performance in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8.90 metres. In an event where a record is usually broken by mere inches, he broke the previous jump record by more than 21 inches, but even his record was broken in 1991.One factor is now becoming more understood and heavily emphasized: sports psychology. Getting inside the athlete’s head can be as effective as training and long workouts. According to Wilmore, the psychological aspect of sports has become more and more esteemed. He points out that most professional teams have hired sports psychologists for their players.In addition, every aspect of athletics ---training, nutrition, injury treatment ---is far better than it’s ever been. “Besides, children today tend to specialize in one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says. “That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and more intensely, and they become much better at it.”“There’s a lot we don’t know yet about the human body,” he adds. “And one of those things is the full range of human potential. It would be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do.”8．Which statement will Wilmore probably agree with?A．It is preferable to set universal standards for athletes.B．Athletes will become the most sought-after celebrities.C．It is necessary for athletes to learn the limits of the body.D．Athletes will continue to surprise us with their achievements.9．Why are Roger Bannister and Bob Beamon mentioned in paragraph 3?A．To introduce two great athletes.B．To show some of the latest world records.C．To prove the limits of the body can be pushed.D．To explain what athletes can achieve under stress.10．What does the underlined word “esteemed” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Similar.B．Valued.C．Complex.D．Specialized.11．How are today’s children different from those years ago according to Wilmore?A．They participate in far more sports.B．They are less likely to get injured in sports.C．They begin playing sports at a much earlier age.D．They become more skilful at one particular sport.The old saying “Use it or lose it” doesn’t appear to be true when it comes to someone’s ability to preserve and use a foreign language, a new study has revealed.The research team tasked almost 500 British people who had taken French GCSE or A-level between the 1970s and 2020 with completing a French vocabulary and grammar test. They included a survey of whether participants had used their French knowledge over the years since their exams, and excluded (排除) anyone who had studied a language later on in life.They found that participants who had taken their exam 50 years ago and not used French since performed at the same level as recent school leavers, and as well as those who did, on occasion, use French.Lead researcher Monika Schmid said: “The knowledge of language is astonishingly stable over long periods of time, compared to other subjects such as maths, history or science. This is likely because of the way language is stored in memory. Vocabulary is memorized in the same way that facts, dates and names are, while this memory may become weaker over time, and grammar is learned in a similar way to riding a bike, a kind of muscle memory, which is much more stable. V ocabulary knowledge on the other hand, exists in a highly connected network, which means that we need only be reminded of a word that soundssimilar to a foreign language word for our brain to recall it.”“Many people are put off revisiting languages they once learnt as they fear they will be forced to relive some of the more ‘boring’ elements of the courses, such as grammar, but our work suggests that this would not be necessary. We hope that it might encourage more people to pick foreign languages back up if they know it would only take a short amount of time in refresher lessons to bounce back to their original level,” Schmid added.12．What did the researchers ask the participants to do?A．Take a French exam.B．Conduct a survey in French.C．Learn French from recent school leavers.D．Talk about their French GCSE experience.13．What can help us recall a foreign word?A．A fact related to it.B．Our muscle memory.C．A similar-sounding word.D．The grammar of the language. 14．What can we infer from Schmid’s words in the last paragraph?A．One is able to quickly and easily relearn a language.B．Years of use promises fluency in a foreign language.C．The boring elements of a language course are important.D．Refresher lessons are necessary in picking foreign languages back up.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Language Tests Taken at School MatterB．If You Don’t Use a Language, You Lose ItC．Knowledge of Foreign Languages Lasts a LifetimeD．When You Grasp the Grammar, You Learn the Language二、七选五Many families stick to the belief that some schools offer golden tickets for their children’s futures. Whether it’s an Ivy League college or a high-price “dream school,” too many people believe certain schools are worth endless effort, stress and debt. They believegreater impact on career prospects than the reputation of the college you attend.For example, if you are interested in pursuing a career in engineering, it is important to choose a college that has a strong engineering program. 17 While attending a reputable college may offer networking opportunities and access to top resources, the value of these benefits may fall if your major does not align with (与……一致) your career goals. Furthermore, practical skills and experience are important in today’s job market. Therefore, choosing a major that provides hands-on experience and opportunities for internships (实习) is more likely to lead to employment opportunities than simply attending a reputable college.18 “A graduate with a degree in engineering is going to come in at three times the salary of someone who graduated from Harvard with a soft degree, you know, liberal arts, humanities, whatever,” says Paul Hill, president of Job Search Intelligence in Los Angeles.Another important factor to consider is the cost of attendance. Attending a reputable college may come with a high price. 19 Choosing a college that is affordable and offers a strong program in your chosen major is a smart financial decision that can pay off in the long run.In conclusion, when choosing a college, it is important to prioritize your major over the reputation of the college you attend. 20A．That can lead to significant student loan debt.B．The cost is what matters, not the name of the school.C．If their child gets in, their life’s road will be surfaced with gold.D．Dream schools don’t produce happier or more successful people.E．Your major choice can also have an impact on your earning potential.F．Similarly, choose a college with a reputable journalism program for a journalism career.G．Your major plays a significant role in shaping your career prospects and earning potential.三、完形填空Our house was across the street from the entrance of a famous hospital in the city. Wesaw a truly awful-looking man whose face was swollen (肿胀的) and red.He told me he’d been 24 a room since noon, but he had no success. “I guess it’s my 25 . I know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments...”For a moment, I 26 , but his following words convinced me, “I could sleep in this chair on the porch (门厅). My bus leaves early in the morning.” So I told him we would find him a bed but to rest on the porch.When I had finished the dishes, I went to talk with him for a few minutes. He told me he fished for a living to 27 his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was 28 disabled from a back injury. He didn’t tell it by way of complaint, but was grateful that no pain 29 his disease, which was a form of skin cancer. He thanked God for giving him the 30 to keep going.
