For you, the “Clear and Bright” day that falls in every April might be no more than just another holiday — the fact that it comes with three days off school matters to most students 61 (much) than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms (二十四节气).But this ancient system that Chinese people have used 62 (keep) track of the time of year was added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产)on Nov. 30.To be fair, the terms do sound old; they 63 (invent) thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural 64 (activity). But the truth is 65 they still have an influence on our lives today, even if we don’t realize it most of the time. For example, people from 66 (north) China are in the habit of eating dumplings 67 the day of Winter Solstice (冬至). And on Start of Autumn, some treat 68 (they) to a big feast, especially of meat, something they call “putting on autumn weight”, or tieqiubiao.According to Chinese writer and academic Yu Shicun, the system is a philosophy of time, 69 applies to everything. And this means they are 70 (likely) to die out.第四部分写作 (共两节，满分35)第一节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌的以下作文。

A friend had business dealings in the city of Reno, Nevada, and I was asked to accompany her on an overnight trip. While she conducted her business, I was aimlessly wandering down Virginia Street，heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but I couldn’t make eye contact with anyone. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She 1ooked at me as though I were from some other planet and said, “Well…’’Surprisingly, she followed me out.When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”For a few seconds we just 1ooked. Then I said, “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.”I thanked her for coming out to see it and sharing the beauty.Four years later my situation had changed considerably. I had come to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a Unity Magazine and read an articleabout a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: cosmetic sales in a department store. We had a lot in common.Then something happened to her that changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.”, and she had realized the truth in that statement and that she simply had not been seeing it. From that moment on, she turned her life around.25. Why did the writer duck into a department store?A. She found it was boring with nobody talking to her.B. She wanted to buy something for her friend.C. She wanted to find somebody sharing the beautiful sunset.D. She thought it was his responsibility to share the natural beauty with others.26. What does the sentence “God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world”mean?A. We should be optimistic in the face of uncertainty.B. We should believe in God who can help us when we are in trouble.C. We should never hold the belief that God can change our life.D. We should be independent and enjoy ourselves in spite of difficulties.27. What do you think finally changed the writer’s attitude towards life?A. The old magazine she came across.B. The encouragement from the woman.C. The sunset they enjoyed four years ago.D. The woman’s story.28. What may be the best title for the text?A. Depending on yourselfB. Sharing beautyC. Struggling every dayD. Never giving up halfwayCImagine you’ve finally landed a job of your dreams in another city. It’s everything you’d hoped for, but there’s only one problem —housing costs in the area are so high that you’re forced to live in a parking lot.While this sounds like an impossible situation, this predicament is a reality for one man.Brandon, 25, is a software engineer for Google at its San Francisco, California campus.“I realized I was paying too large an amount of money for the apartment I was staying in, and I was almost never home,”he told Business Insider. “It’s really hard to justify throwing that money away. You’re not putting money into anything and you are not building it up for a future.”Since scoring his job in May 2015 following a successful internship, he’s been living in a truck on a parking lot a short distance from his workplace.The tech worker makes up for the lack of facilities by eating, using the bathroom and showering at work, also charging his phone and computer there.San Francisco is home to the most expensive rental market in the US, with the average rental for a one-bedroom apartment coming to ＄3,590 (24,900 yuan) a month, according to property site Zumper.And while some may not be able to handle giving up life’s luxuries just to put asidesome cash, Brandon estimates that he’s saved almost ＄28,000 since he moved in just over 18 months ago.“Not only do I get to invest all of that redirected rent money, but I get to invest all the money I’m not spending on furniture, facilities and buying food,”Brandon wrote on his blog.29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “predicament”in Paragraph2?A. possibilityB. disappointmentC. dilemmaD. mess30. Why does Brandon prefer to live in a truck on a parking lot?A. Because he has no time to go back to an apartment.B. Because the rent is too high and he thinks it isn’t worthwhile.C. Because his workplace provides him with what he needsD. Because he wants to save money for an apartment of his own.31. What does Brandon think of his choice?A. DifficultB. EmbarrassingC. PainfulD. WiseDPigeons may only have a brain the size of a thimble (顶针), but it appears that pigeons can categorize and name objects in the same way human children learn new words.A new study from the University of Iowa has shown that the birds are capable of learning to categorize 128 different photographs into 16 basic categories.Scientists taught three pigeons to sort out different kinds of dogs or types of shoes, for example by using a particular symbol in exchange for a reward. When they were shown black and white pictures of previously unseen dogs or shoes, the birds were able to correctly match these with the corresponding symbols.The scientists behind the project say this is a similar approach taken by young children when they are first learning words for objects. However, the researchers said it took their birds around 40 days to perfect the task of learning just 16 categories.Professor Edward Wasserman, who led the work, said: “Our birds’rate of learning appears to have been quite slow. Would children learn faster than pigeons? Almost certainly. However, our pigeons came to the experiment with no background knowledge at all. Thus, the more relevant comparison group may be newborn babies, who indeed take 6–9 months to learn their first words.”Writing in the journal Cognition, the researchers said their experiment was a very simple mirror of the way children are taught words —by their parents pointing to pictures and asking them to name the object.Pigeons are known to be smarter than many birds. Professor Bob McMurray, who also took part in the study, said the results showed that human learning is not as unique as was previously believed.He said: “Children are facing a huge task of learning thousands of words without a lot of background knowledge to go on. For a long time, people thought that such learning is special to humans. What this research shows is that the ways in which children solve this huge problem may be shared with many species.32. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Pigeons and young children take a similar approach to learn words.B. Pigeons are known to be smarter than newborn babies.C. Pigeons recognize objects in the same way children learn words.D. Pigeons are unique as they can learn like humans.33. Why does the writer think newborn babies are the more relevant comparison group?A. They don’t have any background knowledge.B. They learn relatively slow.C. Pigeons and newborn babies learn at a similar speed.D. Young children are smarter.34. From the passage, we can learn that .A. learning without background knowledge is unique to humansB. many species may be able to learn without background knowledgeC. pigeons are able to solve many huge problemsD. pigeons are known to be the smartest birds35. The passage is intended to .A. introduce pigeonsB. prove a factC. support an opinionD. report a study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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

data to see how fast employment was expected to increase between 2018 and 2020 in popular jobs held by people with each degree Finally we averaged each degrees pay rank and estimated growth rank to find the best and worst masters degrees for jobsPhysician assistant degree is at the top of the Forbes third-annual look at the best masters degrees for jobs Physician assistants are medical professionals who provide diagnostic and preventative health care services under the guidance of doctorsBoth an aging population and health care reform are contributing to a higher demand for health care services says Katie Bardaro Payscales lead economistThey dont earn as much as doctors but their mid-careeraverage pay is 97000 Another advantage of a physician assistant degree Employment opportunities are expected to grow 30 by 2020 from the 2018 employment numbers according to the Bureau of Labor StatisticsBy our count computer science follows close behind as the No 2 best advanced

dont necessarily earn more than other people in similar jobsso dont base your decision to pursue one on the idea that youll bring in bigger paychecksIts also important to think about work-life balance

On Thursday, singer and actress Selena Gomez,25, used Instagram to explain why she was “ layingthissummerlow. She” posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed withher friend Francia Raisa holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplant from her best friendbecause of complications( 并发症 ) from lupus( 狼疮 ), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs.People with lupus may first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on their bodies and can gofor a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious. Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up. According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou, roughly a third to one-half of people with lupus develop kidneydisease, and up to one in five of them will eventually need a transplant, sometimes because they weren’ t treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attacking the kidneys.

I became his daughter, all grown up—the product of his sacrifice.And then came the fatefu l question:“ What do you study?” I answered“ history and literature” and voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’ t even get to add-American“studiesandAfrican” before he cut in, his voice thickwith disappointment,“ All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecturethat all immigrant kids know. We are to money and send money back home. The become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) — to make unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid outplainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.I used to feel anxious a nd backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, Itheir support more than anything. This holiday season, I ’ vepromised myself I won’ thuff and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won ’ t defensively respond with I plan“tobutgo to law school!” whenIget unrequested advice.I ’ ll justsmile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.28. What disappointed the driver?A.

If you said bees or hummingbirds, you got it. You wouldn be the first if you mixed the two up. Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior, too.Scientists first compared the two back in the 1970s when studying how animals search for food. The idea is that animals use a kind of math to make choices in order to minimize the work it takes to earn maximum rewards. Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which they visited flowers, and where flowers werelocated relative to others. It was “ almostlike an algorithm( 算法 ) ”for efficient searching, said David Pritchard, a biologist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and bees had similar solutions.As the field of animal cognition( 认知 ) appeared, hummingbird and bee research parted. Neuroscientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study bee behavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers compared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab. To be fair, hummingbirds and bees differ. For example, hummingbirds have more advanced eyes and brains than bees. Honeybees and bumblebees are social; hummingbirds typically aren ’ t.But however they perceive( 感知 ) or process information, they both experience similar information, Dr. Pritchard said. In day-to- day searching for food, for example, hummingbirds may rely on more of a bee ’s-eye view than abird ’s-eye view. Like other birds, they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances, but they don ’ uset these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flower ’ s originaltchardlocationisinvestigating.Dr.Pri if, like bees, hummingbirds engage in view matching — hovering, scanning snapshots of a place to its memory and using those as references later.32.What is the center of research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s?A.Memory.B.Movement rules.C.Reward calculating.rmation processing.33.Which subject ’ s research methods were adopted to study the learning ability of Hummingbirds?A.Math.B.Biology.C.Ecology.D.Psychology.34.How do researchers find out that hummingbirds are not like birds?A.By setting them free.B.By moving flowers.C.By matching view.D.By making maps.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Hummingbirds and BeesB.Hummingbirds in the LabC.New Trends in Studying BeesD.Thinking of Hummingbirds as Bees第二节(共 5 小题；每题 2 分，满分10 分 )依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。
