We are further opening access to Birmingham's wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification.

You can even do an online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.“The findings of our study sug gest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure.So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the phone that counts-the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out).“We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives,” says Griffiths. “You w ould have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is rooted in this device.”Griffiths thinks attachment theory, where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’tsee what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take the m on holiday and there’s no internet,” says Griffiths.9．Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?A．We waste too much time on phones.B．Phones have become part of some users.C．Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.D．Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.10．According to Giffiths, we get nomophobia because .A．we are accustomed to having a phone on usB．we need our phones to help us store informationC．we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD．we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble11．Where can you probably find the above passage?A．In a research report. B．In a fashion brochure.C．In a science textbook. D．In a popular science magazine.DAs Simon Kindleysides, 34, took his first step in the London Marathon in April, he felt as if magic was in the air."As we were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners," he said. "Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment." As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.Kindleysides, who is paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(体外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the London-based singerand dancer had "always wanted to run a marathon," he said, but he never made the plan to do so--until this year.During the London Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. "At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally," Kindleysides said. But he kept going. "I didn't want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity," he said. "I didn't want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue."So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. "They used to say I'm the only dad in their whole school who's in a wheelchair, and now they say I'm their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon," he said.Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.12．Why did Kindleysides' supporters accompany him all the way?A．To inspire him as a team. B．To help change the batteries. C．To guide him along the road. D．To assist him with the wheelchair. 13．What caused Kindleysides' disability?A．An accident in the previous marathon.B．An operation on his brain for the tumor.C．Some nerves produced out of the tumor.D．The pressure from the brain tumor on the nerves.14．What partly supported Kindleysides to finish the hardest two-mile race? A．The belief to beat others. B．The strong desire to recover. C．The kindness to help the charity. D．The prize money for the winner. 15．What can we learn about Kindleysides?A．He was once a successful actor.B．His children feel a pity for him in the wheelchair now.C．He is ambitious for joining in London marathons once more.D．He was the first disabled-man to complete the London Marathon.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（选项中有两项为多余选项），并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，本试卷满分120分。

第Ⅰ卷（选择题共70分）第一节：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑AOur neighbour’s son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.June 29 came and, of c ourse, I hadn’t lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I figured a nice new girdle (紧身内衣)would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle. The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn’t try it on.”The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn’t fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound ba g? That’s it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn’t match my red face well, and was ready to go.Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass. I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders. Unfortunately, I learned that this particular ma ss would last one hour,twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.1．The author most probably bought a nice pink dress with a jacket__________.A. 4 weeks laterB. 4 weeks earlierC. a fortnight earlierD. a fortnight later2．What had the author wanted to do with the tight dress ?A. To make herself thinnerB. To buy a large size girdleC. To put on some weightD. To shake herself into it3．What can we know about the author ?A. She was very lucky to buy a girdle to go with her dress .B. She had no choice but to put on the dress without a girdle .C. She complained to the shop assistant about her carelessness .D. She managed to put on the girdle with her husband’s help .4．What would be the best title for the passage ?A. A Funny WeddingB. A Wise DecisionC. A Tight SituationD. A Fierce FightB“Keep your eyes on the ball.” That is good advice when you are on the playing field, and good advice for everyday life. “Keep your mind on what’s important,” is the way I’d put it. But people are funny. They think too much about the details.I had a secretary once. She was very hardworking. I ran a school and people used to call up to enroll（注册，登记）for courses. Berry used to get angry at the phone. “If they keep on ri nging, I’ll never get my typing done!” she’d shout.People just don’t see the big picture. One evening, after leaving work, I was sitting next to a man on the train. I was feeling tired. My eyes fell on the paper he had spread out in front of him. You know how you feel to read over someone’s shoulder?I read the page and leaned back. I guessed I was waiting for him to turn it. After a while, I realized—he wasn’t turning the page. He just kept on reading.Now if you knew the page he was reading, you’d know that there weren’t many words on the page to read anyway. The layout（布局，设计）was mostly pictures. So I turned to the man and said,” You know, you really read very slowly.”“What do you mean?” he asked. “Well,” I told him, “I read the page in about a minute, and you have taken about ten. And you are still reading. You know,” I went on “If you learned to read faster, you could get more reading done.” He remained silent for a minute or two. “If I read too fast, my paper wouldn’t last m e to my station.”5．The wr iter wasn’t satisfied with his secretary because ___.A. she didn’t put first thing firstB. she was too busyC. she was easy to get angryD. she couldn’t finish her work on time 6．The train rider read newspaper ___.A. to take in informationB. to enjoy picturesC. to save timeD. to kill time7．The writer thinks that people seem to need a sense of ___.A. what to read firstB. how to read fastC. what is importantD. what is funny8．The passage is mainly about the writer’s opinion on people’s ___.A. judgmentB. workC. lifeD. habitsCSteve and Yaser first met in their chemistry class at an American university. Yaser was an international student from Jordan. He was excited to get to know an American. He wanted to learn more about American culture. Yaser hoped that he and Steve would become good friends. At first, Steve seemed very friendly. He always greeted Yaser warmly before class. Sometimes he offered to study with Yaser. He even invited Yaser to have lunch with him.But after the term was over, Steve seemed more distant. The two former classmates didn’t see each other very much at school. One day Yaser decided to call Steve. Steve didn’t seem very interested in talking to him.. Yaser was hurt by Steve’s change of attitude. “Steve said we were friends,” Yaser complained. “And I thought friends werefriends forever.” Yaser is a little confused.He is an outsider(局外人) to American culture. He doesn’t understa nd the way Americans view friendship. Americans use the word “friend” in a very general way. They may call both casual acquaintances(熟人) and close companions(伙伴) “friends”. Americans have school friends, work friends, sports friends and neighborhood friends. These friendships are based on common interests.American society changes rapidly. Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year. American friendships develop quickly, and they may change just as quickly. People from the United States may at first seem friendly. Americans often chat easily with strangers. They exchange information about their families, hobbies and work. They may smile warmly and say, “Have a nice day.” or “see you later.” schoolmates may say, “Let’s get together sometime.” But American friendliness is not always an offer of true friendship.9．According to the text , what made Yaser a little confused ?A. Steve’s inviting him to dinnerB. Steve’s studying with himC. Steve’s cold attitudeD. Steve’s misundersta nding him10．In Paragraph 4, what does the underlined word “ they ” refer to ?A. American familiesB. American friendshipsC. People from the United StatesD. Misunderstandings11．Why do American friendships develop and change so quickly ?A. Amer icans may not only call casual acquaintances but close companion “friends”.B. American society changes rapidly, and the families move frequently.C. Americans often seem friendly, and chat easily with strangers at first.D. Americans think friendship means a strong lifelong relationship between two persons.12．This text mainly tells us __________.A. that people should not make friends with Americans.B. that everyone needs friends.C. the importance of keeping friendship.D. how Americans view friendship.DTell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people’s mind to another culture or race.People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.“Most local stories are based on a larger theme（主题）,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “Cinde rella, or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoners too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don’t like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in business,” she says, “there is a greater need for communication”. Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. “The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere,” she says.“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says, “What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody’s story.”13．What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2?A. They share the same way of storytelling.B. They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.C. They learn their stories from the American natives.D. They find storytelling useful for both children and adults.14．The underlined sentence (Paragraph 4) suggests that prisoners can _____.A. start a new lifeB. settle down in another placeC. direct filmsD. become good actors15．Pugh has practiced storytelling with _____ groups of people.A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 5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（选项中有两项为多余选项），并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

ALast week, while visiting my dad with my daughter, we went to a restaurant for dinner. When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主).Then waitress later commented on my dad’s thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I don’t know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying “thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.Everyone witnessed something exemplary(可作榜样的) in the human spirit that night. I can only hope to see more of this in the future.1.My dad offered help to the soldier and his friend in the restaurant probably because________.A. he wanted to thank them for all they had doneB. he wanted to know more about themC. he wanted the waitress to thank himD. he wanted the soldiers to know his kindness2.The waitress performed The Pearl Fisherman in the restaurant because________________.A. she was asked to perform to the guestsB. she wanted to show off her wonderful skillsC. she wanted to show her respect and thanks to the au thor’s dadD. she wanted to attract more and more guests3.

He said thanks to the author’s dad in person.4. The passage mainly tells us that we should ___ __________.A. find ways to thank othersB. learn to be grateful to othersC. try to learn from each otherD. respect soldiers and waitressesBWhen you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like Google or Yahoo. But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet?A business and international development professor in California, Rose Shuman, found an answer for them: Question Box. Question Box is a service that provides answers---free of charge---for people who cannot search the Internet directly. The users of Questions Box might be those who might not be able to read, or simply have no access to the Internet.Question Box began three years ago in India. People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator. Rose Schuma n explained,” You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. You can ask them any sort of question you want, and they’ll look it up in Eng lish or in Hindi, orwhatever the main language is, and translate the answer back for you.”The service is currently offered in two villages. The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology, and solar panels in case the electrical power fails. Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users, “It is very efficient (效率高的). Rather than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet, the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.”In April 2009, Question Box was introduced to Uganda. Forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers to call center operators in Kampala. The community workers went around telling people about the service. They wore T-shirts that said “Ask me.” But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable. So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.5. The best title for the passage is ____________________________.A. Question Box --- taking the place of the InternetB. Needing an answer? --- asking Question BoxC. Question Box --- a great invention in the worldD. Rose Shuman --- a professor helping the poor6. In Rose Schuman’s opinion, the greatest advantage of Question Box is that_____________.A. it is the most advanced in the worldB. it is more convenient to carry.C. it saves much more energyD. it is much easier to use7. The underlined word “them” in the fourth paragraph refers to______________________.A. the usersB. the operatorsC. the researchersD. Question Box workers8. What can we know from the passage?A. Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet.B. Question Box operators can look for information in any language.C. Question Box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas.D. Question Box can work without the help of the Internet in Uganda.CBelow is adapted from an English dictionary.

But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car－I worked out that, with the loa n, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tu be station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.4．The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A．most families chose to go car-freeB．he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC．the cost of a new car was too muchD．the traffic jam was unbearable for him5．What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A．Supportive. B．Disapproving. C．Optimistic. D．Unconcerned.6．What did th e author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A．Argue against it. B．Take their advice. C．Think it over. D．Leave it alone.7．What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A．Life cannot go without a car.B．Life without a car is a little bit hard.C．His life gets improved without a car.D．A car-free life does not suit everyone.CWhen you eat fish, you probably eat it off a plate, using a fork. Well, the dolphins in Shark Bay, Australia, eat their fish from conch（海螺）shells!Scientists have found some of these bottlenose dolphins（宽吻海豚）using their large beaks to trap fish in shells underwater. Then, carrying the shells to the surface, they shake out the fish into their mouths and eat them. Clearly, using the conch shells allows the dolphins to catch more fish than they would be able to without such a tool. The technique has been called “conching”.Researchers noticed dolphins engaging in the behavior a handful of times from 2007 to 2009. This dolphin trend seemed to become popular.Simon Allen, a scientist, was surprised to see the conching technique spreading. "In the lasts four months alone, the research team have seen and photographed the behavior no less than six times, possibly even seven," he said in a press release. He thinks the dolphins may be learning conching from one another.Dolphins are known to be highly intelligent. The size of their brain is large in proportion（比例）to their body size. Compared with other animals, they have highly developed communication and social skills. This species of dolphin also uses other tools. They will break off pieces of sponges that grow in the ocean, for example, and use them to cover their beaks. This allows them to search for food on the ocean floor without hurting their noses.Scientists are going to keep trying to catch the dolphins in the act of conching. They hope to see evidence of the dolphins teaching one another the technique. They also want to know how the dolphins get fish in the conch shell. Do they push the fish into the shell with their beaks? Or do they chase the fish into the shell before carrying them up to eat?However they do it, Allen believes these dolphins to be particularly clever. "I wouldn't be too surprisedto find such cunning ploys being adopted by Shark Bay's bottlenose dolphins," he said in statement. 8．The author develops the first paragraph by ______.A．telling a story B．making n comparisonC．listing some facts D．offering an explanation9．The technique "conching" refers to the fact that ______.A．dolphins eat fish together with shellsB．dolphins attract fish with the conch shellsC．dolphins use shells to catch fish for foodD．dolphins catch fish with their beaks10．According to Allen, the conching technique ______.A．is spreading among sea animals quicklyB．has just been noticed at most 7 timesC．is sure to be learnt from one anotherD．is becoming popular with dolphins11．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A．Dolphins play a trick on each otherB．Dolphins use shells as tools to catch foodC．Dolphins depend on tools to find foodD．Dolphins are the cleverest sea creatureDRobot Surgeon (外科医生) Succeeds without Help from Human DoctorsHumans make mistakes. Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible. But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care, to be carried out by machines?That’s the idea behind surgical robots, which may soon perform most surgeries, from sewing up t inywounds to performing heart procedures. Many of these operations are, in fact, already completed with the assistance of robots. But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further, performing on soft tissue completely on their own, from start to finish.The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR), successfully completed surgeries on pigs. “We’re the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery, and when compared to standard operation, it’s better, ”says Peter Kim, professor of surgery. “The idea is not to replace surgeons; it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer.”A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors-including operating on the wrong site or side of the body, or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient-occur every one out of 22, 000procedures. That’s rare, but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further.In the da Vinci surgical system, surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar. The robot’s every major move is controlled by surgeons, and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon’s training or experience.STAR, on the other hand, is entirely autonomous. It’s not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible “hand”, but it’s able to react to the unexpected incidents. Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing, but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex. STAR reacts to a changing environment, similar to how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway, but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way.12．The underlined word “infallible” in Par agraph 1 probably means ________.A．always right B．really creative C．rather responsible D．quite smart13．We can learn from the passage that STAR ________.A．has been widely used in the operating room B．can perform the operation on its ownC．can make surgeries much faster D．will take the place of surgeons14．In the da Vinci surgical system, ________.A．robots are trained from afar B．surgery results depend on surgeonsC．robots always make mistakes D．surgeons have trouble controlling robots15．In the last paragraph, the author mentions self﹣driving cars in order to show ________.A．how bad getting in another driver's way might beB．how difficult self﹣driving on the highway isC．how smart an autonomous robot can beD．how dangerous operating on people is.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（选项中有两项为多余选项），并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Its collection．3.What type of writing is this text？______A. A travel guide．B. An exhibition announcement．C. An art show review．D. An activity poster．BRecently, many e-commerce platforms, including Didi Taxi, Ctrip, Fliggy, JD and Taobao, have been uncovered that they are cheating their frequent customers. Their ways are pretty clever. When there are new users or conservative old users, they will give a quite appealing price to attract them into registering and buying goods. However, their big data is not that friendly to the stable users and frequent visitors. The system always offers them higher price for the same products or service. How does this happen? According to the data analysis, the system knows clearly that although they feel the price is high, they will finally pay the bill. By collecting and analyzing users’ profiles, buying habits and other information, big data recommendsthe same products to different users with different prices.Companies also try other ways to make money, making online consumption far more worrying. For example, video websites always offer 120 seconds’ advertisements, which drives people crazy. And even if you pay for the membership to get rid of the ads, you have to “enjoy” 15-secon d “private” ads. By broadcasting them, companies make huge profits --- second to the membership fees. Also, owning 100Mbps network, you still put up with the slow speed when you are downloading a song. You have no choice but to become a VIP when you seek high quality services. Users seem to be lambs(羊羔) among wolves. Even though they say,” Since you have money, I’ll charge you more”, we can’t do anything about it.It pains us that we haven’t figured out a way to deal with the problem. The only thing we can do is replacing our iPhones with Android phones if we want to buy a membership card, and applying for new accounts if we want cheaper hotels. Not finding a way to fight back, we can’t do anything but accept them passively.4. How does big data serve companies according to the text?A. By being kind to all users.B. By giving a discount to stable users.C. By attracting new users by analyzing their shopping habits.D. By recommending the same products with higher prices to regular users.5. What do we know from the second paragraph?A. Membership can rid you of all the ads.B. Only by being a VIP can you get a better service.C. The slow download speed is due to your poor network.D. Advertising income is the biggest income for video websites.6. What is the author’ attit ude towards the chances of finding a way to fight back?A. Uncertain.B. Casual.C. Negative.D. Positive.7. What is the main idea of the text?A. The big data provides helpful information to users.B. We have to accept online consumption as it is.C. There exist many online consumption traps.D. Regular customers are richer.CAntarctica’s melting ice, which has caused global sea levels to rise by at least 13.8 millimeters over the past 40 years, was thought to primarily come from the unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS). Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)—considered largely unaffected by climate change—may also be melting at an unexpectedly rapid speed.The WAIS, whose base is below sea level, has long been considered the most likely to break down. Besides gravity, a deep current of warm water slips beneath the sheet, melting it from below until it becomes a floating shelf at risk of breaking away. In contrast, extreme cold and a base mostly above sea level are thought to keep the EAIS relatively safe from warm waters.But as greenhouse gases warm much of the planet, driving stronger polar winds, some scientists think warm water carried by a circular current will start to invade East Antarctica’s once unassailable ice. A cooperation of more than 60 scientists last year, published in Nature, estimated that the EAIS actually added about 5 billion tons of ice each year from 1992 to 2017.Eric Rignot of the University of California, Irvine, and colleagues combined 40 years of satellite imagery and climate modeling and found that overall Antarctica now sends six times more ice into the sea each year than it did in 1979, with the majority coming from West Antarctica. But East Antarctica was responsible for more than 30% of Antarctica’s contribution to the 13.8-millimeter sea level rise over the past 40 years. “The more we look at this system the more we realize this is fragile,” Rignot says.“Once these glaciers become unstable there is no red button to press to stop it.”Rignot hopes the study brings greater attention to a part of Antarctica that has traditionally been understudied. Helen Fricker, a glaciologist (冰川学家) in California, agrees. “We need to monitor the entire Antarctica and we just can’t do that without international cooperation.”8. What is the new finding of scientists?A. The east Antarctica is losing ice at an increasing rate.B. The west Antarctica is melting six times faster than in 1979.C. 5 billion tons of ice is added to Antarctica each year.D. The sea level has risen by 13.8 mm over the past 40 years.9. Which factor leads to the EAIS’s melting fast?A. A base mostly over sea level.B. The force of gravity.C. The invasion of a warm current.D. Extremely low temperature.10. Which of the following best explains “unassailable” underlined in Para. 3?A. Fragile.B. Unattackable.C. Mild.D. Unstable.11. Which way does Helen Fricker specially advocate?A. Satellite imagery.B. Global monitoring.C. Worldwide climate modeling.D. Worldwide combined effortsDModern lifestyles are generally quite different from those of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, a fact that some claim as the cause of the current rise in global obesity, but new results published July 25 in the open access journal PLOS ONE find that there is no difference between the energy expenditure(耗费) of modern hunter-gatherers and Westerners, casting doubt on this theory.The research team behind the study, led by Herman Pontzer of Hunter College in New York City, along with David Raichlen of the University of Arizona and Brian M. Wood of Stanford measured daily energy expenditure among the Hadza, a populationof traditional hunter-gatherers living in the open Savannah of northern Tanzania. Despite spending their days hiking long distances to seek for wild plants and game, the Hadza burned no more calories each day than adults in the U.S. and Europe. The team ran several analyses accounting for the effects of body weight, body fat percentage, age, and gender. In all analyses, daily energy expenditure among the Hadza hunter-gatherers was indistinguishable(难以区分的) from that of Westerners. The study was the first to measure energy expenditure in hunter-gatherers directly; previous studies had relied entirely on estimates.These findings overturn the long-held assumption that our hunter-gatherer ancestors expended more energy than modern populations, and challenge the view that obesity in Western populations results from decreased energy expenditure. Instead, the similarity in daily energy expenditure across a broad range of lifestyles suggests that habitual metabolic(新陈代谢的) rates are relatively constant among human populations. This in turn supports the view that the current rise in obesity is due to increased food consumption, not decreased energy expenditure. It means we have more to learn about human physiology(生理学) and health, particularly in non-Western settings."These results highlight the complexity of energy expenditure. It's not simply a function of physical activity," says Pontz er.”Our metabolic rates may be more a reflection of our shared evolutionary past than our diverse modern lifestyles."12. According to the new research, hunter-gatherers consume _________.A. the same energy as WesternersB. more energy than WesternersC. less energy than WesternersD. the same food as Westerners13. How did the research team do the new research?A. By comparing hiking distances.B. By identifying wild plants and game.C. By estimating daily energy expenditure.D. By measuring daily energy expenditure.14. People have long assumed that _________.A. the rise in obesity is due to increased food consumptionB. decreased energy expenditure makes Westerners fatC. daily energy expenditure stays the same in historyD. hu mans’ habitual metabolic rates are unchanged15. Which of the following can reflect our shared evolutionary past?A. Our physiology activity.B. Our energy expenditure.C. Our metabolic rates.D. Our modern lifestyle.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, 选项中有两项为多余选项。

But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car－I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube stati on 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and tra ins) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking somethin g much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.4. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-freeB. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC. the cost of a new car was too muchD. the traffic jam was unbearable for him5. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.6. What did the author sugg est his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A. Argue against it.B. Take their advice.C. Think it over.D. Leave it alone.7. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car.B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car.D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.CWhen you eat fish, you probably eat it off a plate, using a fork. Well, the dolphins in Shark Bay, Australia, eat their fish from conch（海螺）shells!Scientists have found some of these bottlenose dolphins（宽吻海豚）using their large beaks to trap fish in shellsunderwater. Then, carrying the shells to the surface, they shake out the fish into their mouths and eat them. Clearly, using the conch shells allows the dolphins to catch more fish than they would be able to without such a tool. The technique has been called “conching”.Researchers noticed dolphins engaging in the behavior a handful of times from 2007 to 2009. This dolphin trend seemed to become popular.Simon Allen, a scientist, was surprised to see the conching technique spreading. "In the lasts four months alone, the research team have seen and photographed the behavior no less than six times, possibly even seven," he said in a press release. He thinks the dolphins may be learning conching from one another.Dolphins are known to be highly intelligent. The size of their brain is large in proportion（比例）to their body size. Compared with other animals, they have highly developed communication and social skills. This species of dolphin also uses other tools. They will break off pieces of sponges that grow in the ocean, for example, and use them to cover their beaks. This allows them to search for food on the ocean floor without hurting their noses.Scientists are going to keep trying to catch the dolphins in the act of conching. They hope to see evidence of the dolphins teaching one another the technique. They also want to know how the dolphins get fish in the conch shell. Do they push the fish into the shell with their beaks? Or do they chase the fish into the shell before carrying them up to eat?However they do it, Allen believes these dolphins to be particularly clever. "I wouldn't be too surprised to find such cunning ploys being adopted by Shark Bay's bottlenose dolphins," he said in statement.8. The author develops the first paragraph by ______.A. telling a storyB. making n comparisonC. listing some factsD. offering an explanation9. The technique "conching" refers to the fact that ______.A. dolphins eat fish together with shellsB. dolphins attract fish with the conch shellsC. dolphins use shells to catch fish for foodD. dolphins catch fish with their beaks10. According to Allen, the conching technique ______.A. is spreading among sea animals quicklyB. has just been noticed at most 7 timesC. is sure to be learnt from one anotherD. is becoming popular with dolphins11. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Dolphins play a trick on each otherB. Dolphins use shells as tools to catch foodC. Dolphins depend on tools to find foodD. Dolphins are the cleverest sea creatureDRobot Surgeon (外科医生) Succeeds without Help from Human DoctorsHumans make mistakes. Even surgeons with years of experience are not infallible. But what if these doctors could pool their knowledge and experience together and create a surgical standard of care, to be carried out by machines?That’s the idea behind surgical robots, which may soon perform most surgeries, from sewing up tiny wounds to performing heart procedures. Many of these operations are, in fact, already completed with the assistance of robots. But a recent test suggests that robots in the operating room may soon go a step further, performing on soft tissue completely on their own, from start to finish.The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR), successfully completed surgeries on pigs. “We’re the first group to develop autonomous robotic surgery with soft-tissue surgery, and when compared to standard operation, it’s better, ”says Peter Kim, professor of surgery. “The idea is not to replace surgeons; it will make the surgeons better and make the procedures safer.”A recent Mayo Clinic study found that major surgical errors-including operating on the wrong site or side of the body, or even leaving tools or objects inside the patient-occur every one out of 22, 000procedures. That’s rare, but robots like STAR would aim to lower the number even further.In the da Vinci surgical system, surgeons place their arms inside instruments and use their hands to control the movement of robotic tools on the operating table from afar. The robot’s every major move is controlled by surgeons, and thus its results may vary based on the surgeon’s training or experience.STAR, on the other hand, is entir ely autonomous. It’s not only able to work on its own and perform surgeries with a more flexible “hand”, but it’s able to react to the unexpected incidents. Cutting into hard tissue like bones is one thing, but operating on moving soft tissue is far more complex. STAR reacts to a changing environment, similarto how self-driving cars are programmed to not only drive on the highway, but also react to another driver making a mistake and getting in your way.12. The underlined word “infallible” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.A. always rightB. really creativeC. rather responsibleD. quite smart13. We can learn from the passage that STAR ________.A. has been widely used in the operating roomB. can perform the operation on its ownC. can make surgeries much fasterD. will take the place of surgeons14. In the da Vinci surgical system, ________.A. robots are trained from afarB. surgery results depend on surgeonsC. robots always make mistakesD. surgeons have trouble controlling robots15. In the last paragraph, the author mentions self﹣driving cars in order to show ________.A. how bad getting in another driver's way might beB. how difficult self﹣driving on the highway isC. how smart an autonomous robot can beD. how dangerous operating on people is.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（选项中有两项为多余选项），并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
