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 a 24-hour cycle it helps (21) ________ (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 bums.Dr John O'Neill, the senior author of the study, said, "This is the first time that the circadian clock within individual skin cells (22) ________(show) to determine how effectively they respond to injuries."The study found that, on average, bums that (23) ________(occur) at night took 60 per cent longer to heal than bums that happened during the body clock daytime cycle. Nighttime bums (sustained between 8pm and 8am) healed around 28 days (24) ________ of 17 days if a bum was sustained during the day (between 8am and 8pm). The study drew these conclusions after (25) ________(analyse) data from 118 patient records from all major bums units in England and Wales.The reasoning behind the differences in healing time is due to (26) ________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, (27) ________act like a muscle within the cell.In a statement, Dr Ned Hoyle, the lead author of the study, said, “We've shown that the dailycycles in our body clock control how well cells can repair (28) ________ (damage) tissue by affecting an essential protein called actin. Efficient repair of our skin is critical to preventing infection, and (29) ________ healing goes wrong, wounds need more time to heal. Further research into the link (30) ________body clocks and wound healing may help us to develop drugs that promote wound healing.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

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)Cartoons suit the way we like information to be presented these days: graphically and in small amounts. We are used to cartoons and comic strips that take an ironic look at modem life or provide a bit of escapism. But recently we have seen an increase in the number of graphic novels: booklength comics with a single, continuous narrative. Historically, graphic novels were not popular outside France, Belgium, Japan, and the US. The exception is the worldwide popularity of a youngreporter-detective from Belgium, Tintin.The creation of the Belgian cartoonist Herge, The Adventures of Tintin first appeared in a Belgian newspaper in 1929. Each story appeared as a cartoon strip week by week, but soon after was republished in book form. One of the main attractions for readers was that they were taken to parts of the world they had never seen and probably never would: Russia, the Congo, America. Herge himself only traveled outside Belgium later in life, but his passion was educating his readers about other cultures and places.Two things set Herge apart as a graphic novelist The first was his technical drawing skills: with just a few simple lines he could communicate a particular facial expression or movement. The second was the careful research he put into his stories. In The Crab with the Golden Claws. Tintin follows an opium-smuggling ring to North Africa; in King Ottakar's Scepter, he makes an attempt at a military coup in a central European country. While telling these stories, Herge also steered a fine line between serious topics and humor.Tintin had more than his fair share of adventures, but perhaps the greatest is his joumey to the Moon, told in Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon. Written in 1953, sixteen years before the first Moon landing, the stories show a remarkable eye for technical detail and feeling for the nature of space travel. In the early 1950s, few could imagine what it was like to be looking down at our planet from outer space. And that is Herge's true gift: to understand what a place was like without ever having been there.56.What can be learned about graphic novels from the passage?A.The Adventures of Tintin is the world's first graphic novel.B.Most of them were just popular in several countries.C.They present information in small amounts.D.They mostly involve detective stories.57.Which of the following is an attraction of The Adventures of Tintin for readers?A.The stories were created in Belgium, a European country.B.The stories were the first graphic novel published in book form.C.The stories used to be cartoon strips that appeared week by week.D.The stories enable them to learn about places they have never been to.58.The Crab with the Golden Claws and King Ottakar "s Scepter are used as examples to illustrate_______.A.Herge liked touching on serious topicsB.Herge himself had a good sense of humorC.Herge based his stories on the research resultsD.Herge was expert at applying technical drawing skills59.Which of the following statements is true of Herge?A.He had been longing for a trip to the Moon.B.He never had any chance to leave Belgium for travelling.C.He could describe accurately those experiences he never had.D.He devoted himself to education before creating graphic novels.（B）Where is Amelia Earhart?Three theoriesAmelia Earhart, the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean, was attempting a round- the-world flight in 1937. She planned to land on the tiny Pacific Ocean island of Howland. She never arrived. Her fate, and that of her navigator （导航员）Fred Noonan, remains one of aviation's （航空的）greatest unsolved mysteries. Researchers have spent millions of dollars investigating the case and several books have been published that examined different theories.The official US position is that Earhart ran out of fuel and crashed in the Pacific Ocean. The radio log from aUS Coast Guard ship indicates that she must have been near Howland when contact was lostAnother theory says that Earhart could have crashed on a different island, called Nikumaroro, and died since the island is uninhabited.Yet another theory claims she was captured while on a secret mission to the Marshall Islands in the North Pacific and eventually returned to the US with a new identity.Lost and found?The missing pilotFebruary 18, 2011Amelia Earhart's dried saliva (唾液)could help solve the longstanding mystery of the aviator's 1937 disappearance, according to scientists who plan to take samples of her DNA from her correspondence. A new project aims to create a genetic profile thatcould be used to test recent claims that a bone found on the South Pacific island ofNikumaroro is Earharf s.Justin Long, a Canadian whose family is partially funding the DNA project, points out that at the moment, anyone who finds parts of bones can claim that they are Earhart's remains. According to Justin Long, Earhart5 s letters are the only items that are both proved to be hers and that might contain her DNA. Hair samples are one of the best sources of DNA, but no hair samples from Earhart are known. There was, in theory, a sample of Earhart5s hair in the International Women's Air and Space Museum in Cleveland, US. However, a 2009 study revealed that the sample was actually thread.The remains of Earhart, her navigator Noonan, and their twin-engine plane were never recovered. But in 2009, a group of researchers found a bone fragment on Nikumaroro that they believed might have been from one of Earhart5 s fingers. However, some scientists have suggested the Nikumaroro bone fragment isn't human at all but may instead belong to a sea turtle that was found nearby.The new Earhart DNA project will be headed by Dongya Yang, a genetic scientist at Simon Fraser University in Canada. Yang will work on four letters Earhart wrote to her family. Much of Earhart9 s correspondence was done by her secretary but the assumption is that Earhart must have sealed the envelopes of these personal letters herself.60.Why are there so many theories concerning where Amelia Earhart was?A.It is still a mystery.B.She left with some secrets.C.Her flight cost much money.D.She returned with a new identity.61.What could Justin Long's project help to do?A.To search Nikumaroro more thoroughly.B.To confirm if a bone belongs to Amelia Earhart.C.To find out who Amelia Earhart often wrote to.D.To locate Amelia Earhart's remains accurately.62.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.None of Amelia Earhart's DNA has been collected so far.B.Amelia Earhart took delight in writing letters to her family.C.The Nikumaroro bone fragment belonged to Amelia Earhart.D.The hair sample in Cleveland's museum was Amelia Earhart5s.(C)I ran into my favourite technophobe (抗拒技术者)the other day. "I see," he laughed, “that your tech industry is in meltdown!” The annoying thing is that he was partly right. What has happened is that two major security weaknesses― one of them has been named "Meltdown”，the other “Spectre"―have been discovered in the Central Processing Unit (CPU) chips that power most of the computers in the world.A CPU is a device for performing billions of operations determined by whatever program is running: it fetches some data from memory, performs some operations on that data and then sends it back to memory; then fetches the next bit of data; and so on. Two decades ago someone had an idea for speeding up CPUs. Instead of waiting until the program told them which data to fetch next, why not try to predict what's needed and pre-fetch it? That way, the processor would become faster and more efficient. This meant that一in a nice comparison made by Zeynep Tufekci, an academic who writes beautifully about this stuff the CPU became like a super-attentive butler （管家）, “pouring that second glass of wine before you knew you were going to ask for it".But what if you don't want others to know about the details of your wine stock? "It turns out,” writes Tufekci, “that by watching your butler's movements, other people can infer a lot about the stock." Information is visible that would not have been available if he had patiently waited for each of your commands, rather than trying to predict them. Almost all modem microprocessors behave like attentive butlers一and the revealing traces left by their helpful actions mean that information that is supposed to be secret isn't.The biggest takeaway from the discovery of Meltdown and Spectre is the realisation of the shakiness of the foundations on which we have constructed our networked world. We have always known that there is no such thing as a completely secure networked device. Now we know that at the heart of every networked device there sits an insecure processor.Initially, it was thought that the only answer would be to replace all those processors—an unconscionable option. But then it turned out that solutions exist in terms of patches (补丁)to operating system software. The industry is working onthose and every conscientious user ought to install them when they become available. But there's no free lunch here: fixing the problem will slow down processors by an amount that will differ from chip generation to generation. Microsoft, for example, says that patches will ''significantly slow down certain servers and affect the performance of some personal computers”. Firing that attentive butler means that you have to fetch your own drinks. And that takes longer. Patience is a virtue, sometimes, even in computing.63.What can be learned about "Meltdown" and "Spectre" from the passage?A.They are coined by Zeynep Tufekci.B.They refer to the basic computer problems.C.They have been existing since computers came into use.D.They were used by technophobes to attack the tech industry.64.What change did the "someone” （paragraph 2）bring to CPUs 20 years ago?A.CPUs' ability to access data before receiving a command.B.CPUs' ability to make alterations to a computer's memory.C.CPUs、ability to perform operations without the help of programs.D.CPUs' ability to correct the mistakes in data that used to be invisible.65.Which of the following statements is true of the patches to operating system software?A.They will prove to be an unconscionable option.B.They will one day replace all those processors.C.They will affect CPUs5 working efficiency.D.They will cost programmers their patience.66.What is the author most likely to agree with?A.The current computer processing is fast but unsafe.B.Too much attention is paid to "Meltdown" and "Spectre”.C.The comparison that Tufekci makes is not that accurate.rmation security has slowed down CPU development.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.The crayfish returned to spending about one-third of their time in the light,B.It is surprising that anti-anxiety drugs designed for human use also work on invertebrates.C.If they did encounter the lit sections, they moved back into the dark in 80 per cent of cases.D.Now there is evidence that this leads to behaviour that resembles anxiety.E.They last shared a common ancestor with us hundreds of millions of years ago.F.Now we’re beginning to turn that over and ask if we can say when an animal is happy or cheerful.Crayfish （2、龙虾）appear anxious after moulting （换壳）When a crayfish moults, it becomes temporarily weak. _______67_______ "They worry, they have a fright state that makes them avoid potentially dangerous areas. It's kind of like anxiety," says Pascal Fossat at the University of Bordeaux in France.Fossat and his colleagues collected crayfish near Bordeaux and stored them in individual tanks that were similar to their natural habitat. When the crayfish began to moult, the researchers placed them in an area that had two dark sections and two lit sections, and recorded their behaviour.Over the following two days, the crayfish showed a strong preference for hiding in the dark regions. _______68_______ For comparison, when the crayfish weren't moulting, they typically spent about 30 per cent of their time in the light. "They're very weak when they remove the old exoskeleton （壳），and the new one is totally soft until they eat the old one to get back the minerals that make the new exoskeleton stronger," says Fossat.The team also took crayfish that weren't moulting and injected them with an ecdysteroid一a class of hormone that controls moulting. They found that the crayfish exhibited the same aiixiety- like behaviour.To explore whether it was possible to change this behaviour, Fossat and his colleagues took the animals they had treated with the ecdysteroid and injected them with anti-anxiety drugs developed for use in humans. _______69_______ "They didn't have the fright from before," says Fossat.Fossat suspects crayfish may be capable of other emotions一although it is adifficult subject to investigate because crayfish are biologically so different from humans.Robert Elwood at Queen's University Belfast in the UK says he animals may be acting on basic physiological mechanisms that humans have interpreted as feelings. But he says that new research is helping us understand the range of emotions invertebrates（无脊椎动物）may experience.“We've spent a lot of time worried about animal welfare, asking whether they are in stress or pain," he says. “_______70_______"IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as possible.The Paper ArchitectFor a long time, Zaha Hadid was known as "the paper architect," someone whose grand designs never left the page to become real buildings. But in recent years her buildings have sprung up like mushrooms all over the world: the Guangzhou Opera House in China, a car factory in Germany, a contemporary art museum in Rome, a transportation museum in Scotland, and the Aquatics Center for the 2012 Olympics in London.Pinning down her individual style is difficult. Certainly Hadid has been influenced by the modem trend in architecture that likes to play with the traditional shape of buildings and fragment (分解)them, creating unpredictable angles and surfaces. Working in this way, she and her fellow architects have produced some off^the-wall, spaceship-like structures that seem to go against the normal laws of engineering.The idea of offering the viewer multiple perspectives from within the building is a theme that runs through Hadid's work. Her most famous building, MAXXI—a museum for the 21st century— in Rome, is a great example. It is a complex and spectacular structure of interlocking concrete shapes. Inside spaces interconnect Tike winding streets," so that the visitor is surprised and charmed at each turn. The Rosenthal Center in Cincinnati produces a similar effect. Like an extension of the street it sits on, it draws you in, with walkways directing you this way and that, andwindows inviting you to sample the view. "It's about promenading/ says Hadid, "being able to pause, to look out, look above, look sideways."So what inspires someone like Hadid to produce such different buildings? She speaks in complimentary terms about the work of her contemporaries. She also cites the natural landscape and organic geological patterns as an influence. But it is not a question that she seems too concerned with and nor perhaps should we be. Hadid is an artist, sharing with us her vision of what buildings should be like and always, as she does so, trying to keep human interests一our interests as users and viewers—at heart.V.

Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical (立方形的) or triangular, outsized or very small. They also like workbooks which e with watercolors and paintbrushes, and ic books filled with details where they have to spots a figure hidden among thousands of others.Not that the traditional children’s books are being neglected. There are still storybooks where the pages pop up when they are opened, to make a forest or a castle. Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose the plot (情节) or ending they want, and books on CD, which are very popular in rich industrialized countries.The public has enthusiastically greeting the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers. “Previously, giving a child book was often seen as improper,” says Canadian author MarieFrance Herbert. Her books,published by a Frenchlanguage publisher, sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. “There’s real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to children the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin.”1. “Reworked” used in Paragraph 1 means “______”.A. rewordedB. rewrittenC. processedD. revised2. In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books ______.A. recently publishedB. of various shapesC. babies likeD. popular among children3. Which of the following statements is true?A. Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books.B. When you buy workbooks you will be given free ic books.C. Traditional children’s books are not being removed from market.D. Babies cannot have books while taking a bath.4. The expression “get across to children” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.A. pass on to childrenB. make children believeC. teach childrenD. get around to children(B) Visitor Code5. According to Visitor Code, visitors are expected to act_______.A. with care and respectB. with relief and pleasureC. with caution and calmnessD. with attention and observation6. What are you encouraged to do when travelling in New Zealand?A. Take your own camping facilities.B. Bury glass far away from rivers.C. Follow the track for the sake of plants.D. Observe signs to approach nesting birds.7. What is allowed to take into New Zealand according to the Visitor Code?A. wild honeyB. fresh grape fruitC. Chinese hamD. dutyfree wine8. The underlined word fragile probably means __________.A.breakable and delicateB. fragrant and beautifulC. rare and expensiveD. healthy and strongSection CDirections: Finish the following tasks after reading the passage.The world has many beautiful sounds. We can hear the songs of birds and the laughter of people. We can listen to cool music and news reports. And it’s all because of our ears! They bring us a world of sounds.But some people can’t hear any sound at all. Some are born ①deaf. Others can hear well in theirchildhood, but too many loud sounds hurt their ears later on.Many people in China can’t hear ordinary sounds clearly. A large number of them are children. Most of them are born with good hearing. But 6 children out of every 1,000 have hearing problems when they are born. And if a child has hearing problems, usually he or she will also have learning problems at school.A lot of things can cause hearing problems. For example, too much earwax (耳垢) is not good for our hearing. And noise louder than 85 decibels (分贝) can hurt our ears and make us lose our hearing for a short time or even forever.Hearing is important for all of us. ①So we should do our best to give our ears special care.Don’t forget to do the following:● Try to stay away from places with too much noise. If you have to go, wear earplugs . A pair of good earplugs can cut the noise by 30 decibels.● When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in.● Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax, ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.If you keep these things in mind, you won’t have trouble in hearing sounds.1．任务一选出文中划线单词①的词义。

一、语法从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. Four Chinese models were ______ the 14 people awarded prizes on Friday at the World Supermodel Competition.A. amongB. betweenC. alongD. beside【答案】A【解析】主要测试介词，实际上测试名词的整体和部分的关系。
译文：礼拜五世界超模大赛中十四名获奖模特中有四名是中国选手。
有译文可知：四名中国选手和十四名获奖模特的关系应该属于：部分和整体的关系。
2. Since Tom ______ downloaded a virus into his computer, he can not open the file now.A. readilyB. horriblyC. accidentallyD. irregularly答案：C解析：accidentally意为“偶然地,意外地”。
根据“...downloaded a virus into his computer”可判断出要用accidentally”，因为下载病毒是偶然事件。
readily意为“乐意地,欣然,容易地”;horribly意为“可怕地,非常地”;irregularly意为“不规则地”。
3．When _______ what is the most efficient way to protect oneself from COVID-19, the expert says no doubt it is wearing a mask.A．asking B．asked C．to ask D．having asked答案：B【详解】考查非谓语动词。
句意：当被问及防护COVID-19最有效的方式是什么时，专家表示，毫无疑问是戴口罩。
分析题意，从句部分无主语，故ask需用非谓语动词。
在时间状语从句中，若前后分句的主语一致，则可以省略从句的主语。
故ask的主语为the expert ，此处两者之间表示被动关系。
所以此处需用过去分词表示被动作状语。
综上，故选B项。
4．There is not much difference between the two, I really don't know _____.A．which should I choose B．what I should chooseC．which I should choose D．what should I choose答案：．C【详解】考查宾语从句。
句意：这两者之间没有太大不同，我真的不是知道我应该选择哪一个。
分析可知，设空处为宾语从句，从句应用陈述句语序，故排除AD；结合上文的“Ther e is not much difference between the two”可知，此处有选择范围，表示“哪一个”应用which引导。
故选C。
5．It was not until I got home _______ I found that I had left my keys in the office.A．before B．when C．then D．that答案：．D【详解】考查not until的强调句型。
句意：直到我回到家，我才发现我把钥匙忘在办公室了。
not until 的强调句型结构为：It is/was not until + 被强调部分（状语）+ that + 其它，其基本特点为删除It is/was 及that，其余部分可以重新写成句子。
本句去掉It is/was及that重写的句子为：I didn't find that I had left my keys in the office until I got home.结合选项可知，选项C符合题意。
故选C。
6．________ English newspaper is one of the best ways to learn English new words.A．To reading B．Reading C．Reads D．Read答案：．B【详解】考查非谓语动词。
句意：读英语报纸是学习英语新单词的最好方法之一。
分析句子可知，此句缺少主语，应用“read”的动名词形式作主语。
故选B项。
7．Mr. Smith is a pleasant person who is easy ______.A．to get along with B．to get along C．to be gotten along D．get along with答案：．A【详解】考查动词不定式主动表被动。
句意：史密斯先生是一个很好相处的人。
get along with sb.是一个固定短语，意为：与某人相处，在“be easy to do”结构中，to do用主动式表示被动含义，原短语中的介词with不能省掉。
故选A。
8．I found most of my classmates friendly and _____________.A．help B．helped C．helpful D．helpfully答案：．C【详解】考查形容词。
句意：我发现大多数的同学都很友好并且乐于助人。
A. help帮助（动词原形）；B.helped帮助（动词过去式）；C. helpful有帮助的（形容词），乐于助人的；D.helpfully乐于助人地（副词）。
句中and表示并列，前后搭配的词性必须一致。
根据句意及句子结构可知，设空处应填入形容词做宾补。
故选C项。
9. During the period of recent terrorist activities, people _______ not to touch any unattended bag.A. had always been warnedB. were always being warnedC. are always warningD. always warned【答案】B【解析】主要测试动词的时态，同时兼顾测试固定结构。
译文：最近恐怖活动猖獗时期，总是警告人们不要去触摸任何没有人看守的包。
由平时的学习可知固定结构：warn sb not to do sth ，所以首先选择被动语态，因此排除C和D；再结合所给答案，最佳选项为B，因为A中的：过去完成时的被动式通常应该有动作的对比性，而题干中只有一个主要动词：warn，故此不属于最佳。
10. It is not immediately clear _______ the financial crisis will soon be over.A. sinceB. whatC. whenD. whether【答案】D【解析】主要测试连词。
此题同上面的第32题，解题的关键：连词的汉语意思区别。
从语境可知译文：金融危机是否会很快结束会不是太明显。
以后再遇到此类试题，解决的方法如下：直接考虑所给答案的汉语意思，不必外延。
例如：—The experiment is of particular importance.—I see. We will carry on with it ________ we can get enough money.A. unless B. though C. whether D. Until 由题干可知试题的四个答案均为连词，而且意思各不相同，故此区别汉语意思。
译文：----这个实验分厂重要。
------依我看。
我们是否有足够的钱来进行实验。
11. Hearing the dog barking fiercely, away ______.A. fleeing the thiefB. was fleeing the thiefC. the thief was fleeingD. fled the thief【答案】D【解析】主要测试倒装。
由语境可知译文：听到剧烈的狗吠声，小偷飞速跑掉。
平时学习倒装时有一类：由于修辞的需要，在以副词away、ahead、down、up、in、out等情景生动描写的方位词用于句子的开头的，主语是名词时，主谓常用倒装语序，为了强调状语（主语是代词时，不用倒装）。
例如：Down came the hammer and out flew the sparks。
铁锤一落，火星四射。
Up and up went the prices.物价不断上升。
12. David threatened ______ his neighbor to the police if the damages were not paid.A. to be reportedB. reportingC. to reportD. having reported【答案】C【解析】主要测试动词的固定搭配。
测试方向同上面的第35题，解题策略：硬性记忆。
平时的学习中应该记住：threaten to do sth 属于固定结构，因此先排除B和D；另外答案中的动词report和句子中的主语David应该属于主动关系，因此最佳为to report。
译文：如果损失不得到赔偿，戴维威胁说会把邻居上告警方。
例如：Every time they quarrel ，Jan threatens to leave。
他们每次吵架时，简都威胁说要离开。
13．I _____ to Huizhou when I suddenly found that I was on the wrong road.A．drove B．have driven C．was driving D．would drive【答案】．C【详解】考查谓语动词时态。
句意：我正开车去往徽州，突然我发现走错路了。
分析句子结构可知，本空在句中做谓语动词，句子后面有when从句，再根据句意，本句应用了固定结构：be doing...when...，意为“正在做......这时（突然）......”，事情发生在过去，所以主句用过去进行时态。
故选C。
14．The winter of the speech contest was a _________girl called Jenny from America. A．18—years—old B．18—year—old C．18—year—olds D．18 year old【答案】．B【详解】考查形容词。
句意：演讲比赛的获胜者是一个18岁的来自美国的女孩，名叫珍妮。
由连字符连接的形容词，名词用单数，故A项错误；形容词old无需加复数，故C项错误；D项中的year 由18修饰，用复数，故选B。
