For each of them there 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)In a class this past December, after I wrote some directions on the board for students about their final examination, one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone. When I looked in her direction, she apologized, “Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?”“I can‟t read read my own handwriting,”my own handwriting,” the young woman explained. “It‟s b est if I take best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes.”That remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes. For those in the photo-taking camp, motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material. They might lose paper, they reasoned, but they wouldn‟t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board. Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively. Yet the use of cameras as note takers, though it may be convenient, does raise significant questions for the classroom. Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking? Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary information —it helps prepare the way for understanding. Encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashioned instructional method, but just because a method has a long history doesn‟t mean it‟s out of of date. date. date.

According to the passage, which of the following may NOT explain students‟ reluctance to take notes? A. They lack proper techniques for taking notes. B. They want to listen more attentively in class.

Whenever themother is in her field, she loosens the sling and lets the baby to the ground none too slowly, and laughs if it is hurt. Then she goes about her business, leaving the child there, almost hoping that some fierce animals will come along and carry it off. This sometimes happens.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.51．（15分）In the 1960s，Douglas McGregor，one of the key thinkers in the art of management，developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y．Theory X is the idea that people instinctively （51） work and will do anything to avoid it．Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work．In any case，despite so much evidence to the （52），many managers still agree to Theory X．Theybelieve，（53），that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively，or that decisions must be imposed from （54） without consultation．This，of course，makes for authoritarian （专制的） managers．Different cultures have different ways of （55） people．Unlike authoritarian management，some cultures，particularly in Asia，are well known for the consultative nature of decision﹣making﹣all members of the department or work group are asked to （56） to this process．This is management by the collective opinion．Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things，which are based on general （57）．Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional （58）managers cannot．A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative，to make decisions on their own without（59） managers first．This empowerment （授权） has been part of the trend towards downsizing：（60） the number of management layers in companies．After de﹣layering in this way，a company may be （61） with just a top level of senior managers，front﹣line managers and employees with direct contact with the public．Empowerment takes the idea of delegation （委托） much further than has （62）been the case．Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to （63） that the overall business plan is being followed，and that operations become more profitable under the new organization，rather than less．Another trend is off﹣site or （64） management，where teams of people linked by e﹣mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses．Project managers evaluate the （65） of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects，rather than the amount of time they spend on them．51．A．desire B．seek C．lose D．dislike52．A．contrary B．expectation C．degree D．extreme53．A．vice versa B．for example C．however D．otherwise54．A．outside B．inside C．below D．above55．A．replacing B．assessing C．managing D．encouraging56．A．refer B．contribute C．object D．apply57．A．agreement B．practice C．election D．impression58．A．bossy B．experienced C．western D．male59．A．asking B．training C．warning D．firing60．A．doubling B．maintaining C．reducing D．estimating61．A．honoured B．left C．crowded D．compared62．A．economically B．traditionally C．inadequately D．occasionally63．A．deny B．admit C．assume D．ensure64．A．virtual B．ineffective C．day﹣to﹣day D．on﹣the﹣scene65．A．opinion B．risk C．performance D．attractivenessSection B Direction：Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.One early morning，I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again．My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word"Poems"appeared in big，hot pink letters．"Is it good？"I asked her．"Yeah，"she answered．"There's one I really like and you'll like it，too．"I leaned forward．"‘Patty Poem，'"she read the title．Who is Patty？I wondered．The poem began：She never puts her toys away，Just leaves them scattered①where they lay，…①散乱的The poem was just three short sections．The final one came quickly：When she grows and gathers poise②，②稳重I'll miss her harum﹣scarum③ noise，③莽撞的And look in vain④ for scattered toys．④徒劳地And I'll be sad．A terrible sorrow washed over me．Whoever Patty was，she was a mean girl．Then，the shock．"It's you，honey，"My mother said sadly．To my mother，the poem revealed a parent's affection when her child grows up and leaves．To me，the"she"in the poem was horror．It was my mama who would be sad．It was so terrible I burst out crying．"What's wrong？"my mother asked．"Oh Mama，"I cried．"I don't want to grow up ever!"She smiled．"Honey，it's okay．You're not growing up anytime soon．And when you do，I'll still love you，okay？""Okay，"I was still weeping．My panic has gone．But I could not help thinking about that silly poem．After what seemed like a safe amount of time，I read the poem again and was confused．It all fit so well together，like a puzzle．The language was simple，so simple I could plainly understand its meaning，yet it was still beautiful．I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry，words that had the power to make or break a person's world．I have since fallen in love with other poems，but"Patty Poem"remains my poem．After all，"Patty Poem"gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits，but because it was the one that hurt me the most．66．Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again？A．It was a thick enough book．B．Something on its cover caught her eye．C．Her mother was reading it with interest．D．It has a meaningful title．67．After her mother read the poem to her，the writer felt at first．A．sadB．excitedC．horrifiedD．confused68．The writer's mother liked to read"Patty Poem"probably because ．A．it reflected her own childhoodB．it was written in simple languageC．it was composed by a famous poetD．it gave her a hint of what would happen69．It can be concluded from the passage that"Patty Poem"leads the writer to ．A．discover the power of poetryB．recognize her love for puzzlesC．find her eagerness to grow upD．experience great homesickness．Is there link between humans and climate change or not？This question was first studied in the early 1900s．Since then，many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference．In 1997，the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth's changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions（排放） from 2008 to 2012．Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020．More recently，the Paris Agreement，stuck by nearly 200 countries，also aims to limitglobal warming．But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions．70．It can be concluded from paragraph 1that ．A．the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020B．gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countriesC．the Paris Agreements is more influential than the Kyoto ProtocolD．humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming71．If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement，what would happen by the year 2100？A．The human population would increase by one third．B．Little over 50% of all species would still exist．C．Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets．D．The Agreement's minimum goal would not be reached．72．If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive，the maximum temperature rise，since the start of the industrial age，should be ．A.0.8℃B.1.5℃C.2℃D.3.5℃Enough"meaningless drivel"．That's the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data．The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee's report，released last week，has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark （认证标记） to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions．"The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone，"says Andrew Miller，the chair of the committee．Instead，he says，firms should provide a plain﹣English version of their terms．The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original．It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme，but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis．"we need to think through how we make that work in practice，"says Miller．Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark？"I think if you went and did the survey，people would like to think they would，"says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton，UK，who studies open data．"We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information．"But what would happen in practice is another matter，he says．Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand，but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new．"We still don't know how significant the long﹣term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20years'time，"he says．Shadbolt，who gave evidence to the committee，says the problem is that we don't know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving．Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently，he says．The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don't expect，even if users have apparently permission，show that the current situation isn't working．If properly administered，a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to．Although they would still have to actually read them．73．What does the phrase"meaningless drivel"in paragraphs 1and 3 refer to？A．Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to．B．Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites．C．Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly．D．Insignificant data collected by social media firms．74．It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether ．A．social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB．people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC．a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD．the kitemark would help companies develop their business models75．Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because ．A．their users consist largely of kids under 20years oldB．the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC．the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD．it remains unknown how users'data will be taken advantage of76．The writer advises users of social media to ．A．think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB．read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC．take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD．avoid providing too much personal information77．Which of the following is the best title of the passage？A．Say no to social media？B．New security rules in operation？C．Accept without reading？D．Administration matters!Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Walking will be banned on escalators as part of a trail designed to reduce congestion（拥堵） at some of the country's busiest stations．In the first move of its kind，all travelers will be forced to stand on both sides of escalators on the London Underground as part of a plan to increase capacity（容量） at the height of the rush hour．A six﹣month trial will be introduced at Holborn station from mid﹣April，eliminating the rule of standing on the right and walking on the left．The move，imitating a similar structure in Far Eastern cities such as Hong Kong，is designed to increase the number of people using long escalators at the busiest times．it could be expanded across the Tube network in coming years．According to London Underground，only 40percent of travelers walk the full length of long escalators，leaving the majority at the bottom as they wait to get on to the"standing"side．A three﹣week trial at Holborn last year found that the number of people using escalators at any one time of could be raised by almost a third．Peter McNaught，operations director at London Underground，said："It may not seem right that you can go quicker by standing still，but our experiments at Holborn have proved that it can be true．This new six﹣month trial will help us find out if we can influence customers to stand on both sides in the long term．"Holborn has one of the longest sets of escalators on the Underground network at 23.4high．Tube bosses claim that capacity was limited because so few people wanted to walk up﹣meaning only one side was used at all times．Research has shown that it is more effective use of escalators over 18.5to ban walking．The previous trial found that escalators at the station normally carried 2，500people between 8：30am and 9：30am on a typical day，rising to 3，250during the researching period．In the new trial，which will be launched from April 18，one of three"up"escalators will be standing only，with a second banning walking at peak times．A third will remain a mix of walking and standing．（Note：Answering the questions the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）78．What is the existing problem with standing on the right and walking on the left？79．What did last year's three﹣week trial at Holborn station prove？80．The research suggests that walking should be forbidden on escalators that are at least in height．81．In the new trail，in addition to one escalator banning walking in rush hours，the other"up"escalators will be used for ．I.Translation Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.82．（3分）我真希望自己的文章有朝一日能见报．（hope）．83．（3分）二十世纪末中国经济迅速发展．（witness）84．（3分）为买一双运动鞋而通宵排队有意义吗？（point）．85．（3分）虽然当时我年幼，不理解这部电影的含义，但我记得我的家人都感动得落泪了．（too…to…）．86．（3分）我阿姨苦读四年之后获得了文凭，那一刻她欣喜万分．（The moment…）．II.

I once spent a year in Moldova, in Eastern Europe, (25) ______ (study) everyday life in the country. I stayed with a Moldovan family to see from the inside how people managed their lives. I had a wonderful time and made many new friends.

This was (27) ______ the people I met were extremely hospitable and I was treated as an honoured guest at all times. As my hosts, they wanted me to enjoy myself, and not to get (28) ______ (involve) in shopping, cooking, or other domestic jobs. Most mornings I was encouraged to go out to explore the city, or carry out my research, and I returned later to find that my elderly landlady and her sister had travelled across the city on buses to the central market (29) ________ (bring) back heavy loads of potatoes, a whole lamb, or other large quantities of products.I was often invited to people?s homes, and was always offered food on entering.

Wine had already been made, generally by the men, (32) ______ were also responsible for pouring it. Unexpected visitors were still offered as much food and drink as the household (33) ______ provide in the circumstances.(B)How English family life has evolved since the eighteenth century The majority of English families of the pre-industrial age, roughly until the mid-eighteen century, lived in a rural location. Many of them owned or had the use of a small piece of land, and actually all family members were busy with agricultural work in one form or another, usually (34) _______ (grow) food for their own consumption and sometimes also producing food or other goods for sale.The labour was controlled by the husband, (35) ______ _____ his wife and children, too, had an economic value as their contributions to the family income were likely to make the difference between starvation and survival.Children worked from an early age, girls helping their mothers, and boys their fathers.

Each word can only be used once.mentB. complexC. depressionD. expectE. equivalentF. holdG. mapped H. recommended I. handle J. noted K. severeBeing sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or a(n) __41__ relationship. The effect was first __42__ in 1858by William Farr, who wrote that widows (寡妇)and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man?s life and two to a woman?s. The effects __43__ for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Marriage can do a lot. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can __44__ to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn‟t smoke. There‟s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse?s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same __45__ problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are, __46__ affected by social-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of __47__ later in life. People in supportive relationships may __48__ stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all __49__ if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being __50__ out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their heal th is interconnected.”III. Reading Comprehension（47分）Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Who needs sleep? It‟s 2 a.m. The time when you should be in beds, sound asleep. But pull back the curtains and you might be surprised by the number of lights on in your street Night-time is __51__ just for sleeping. It has become the new daytime, offering us the chance to catch up on everything we didn‟t manage to finish during what used to be our __52__ hours. Now, __53__ sleeping, we can check our bank balances by phone, buy groceries, surf the net for cheap flights orgo to the gym.Such flexibility, __54__, has a price. Our bodies are run by circadian rhythms (昼夜节律), a prehistoric internal clock that regulates when we feel sleepy or awake and affects our body temperature and level of alertness. It makes our brains and bodies __55__ during the day and allows them to recover through the night. So powerful is this clock that even two weeks on a nightshift without break will not __56__ its rhythm, and when scientists keep human volunteers in isolation, without any indication of what time it is in the day, they still show daily cycles of temperature changes, sleep and wakefulness, and hormone release. But, __57__ working against our body?s natural rhythm is likely to cause ourselves both physical and psychological damage. Research also shows it may actually __58__ our risk of health problems such as stomach diseases.Consultant Tom Mackey believes that our normal circadian rhythms are increasingly being completely __59__. “More and more of us are being pressured into doing things at odd hours. This is going to have a(n) __60__ impact on quality and length of sleep. If people don?t go to bed at a reasonable time, say around 11 p.m., and have between six and eight hours of sleep, they will be unable to concentrate. You need sleep for rest and __61__. If you stuff your mind with information for too long, then everything gets disorganized ---you become __62__ to manage daytime activities.”The circadian rhythms that run the sleep/wake cycle are as old as __63__ itself. Our prehistoric ancestors would have needed their biological clock to get them out hunting during the day and probably in bed around nightfall to avoid intruders. Our night vision is not as fast as that of nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals ---our natural rhythm was to sleep as the sun went down. The invention of the electric light obviously __64__ that. Like most biological systems, circadian rhythms are not made to __65__. Our internal clock runs a bit longer than 24 hours, hence its Latin name, circadian, which means “about a day.”51.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AWhen milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, i couldn‟t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note - “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” - and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn?t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son?s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.66. Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer _____.A. to satisfy his curiosity.B. to please his mother.C. to show his magical power.D. to pay for the delivery.67. What can be inferred from Para. 3?A. He preferred tea to coffee.B. He had a large sum of money.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was a famous and popular person.68.

Time for an uninterrupted phone call, or a rest on the sofa. And naps have to be a good thing for preschools, surely, since they need to take a rest and get enough sleep for their brains to develop. Short naps have also been shown to be good for adults---improving alertness and reaction times.So it feels counterintuitive for a review of 26 studies to conclude that napping in children over two years of age may not be a good idea at all. The review says that after two years of age, napping is associated with going to sleep late at night, poorer quality sleep and waking earlier. So should we discourage naps in preschool children -even if they really seem to need one?Although the review talks about the effects of napping on two-year-olds, most of the evidence in review actually comes from studies on three-year-olds. Also, the authors of the view article are clear that the research on children?s naps is of poor quality; some studies rely on parents? remembering how much their children slept, or are for very short periods.A study published in the journal of attention disorders in February suffers from somemethodological shortcomings (for instance small numbers --only 28 children between the ages of three and four, and only for five days), but is at least a randomized (任意的) controlled trial, using actigraphs (活动记录仪) worn on the wrist to objectively measure sleep. It found that children who missed their naps slept better at night and scored higher in studies of memory and attention.Dr Mark Mahone, one of the authors, says that sleep at night may be of a better quality than during daytime napping. Having a sound sleep at night, he says, provides a greater proportion of the slow-wave, restorative sleep that promotes brain development and reinforces what has been learned the day before. The study also found that the children who went without naps did not sleep more at weekends.I could never get my children to nap, but for parents who can, there is no reason to stop. Mahone says that more research is needed before anyone starts making recommendation, and children?s sleep requirements are known to be variable.74. The word …'counterintuitive” in para. 2 most probably means _____.A. difficultB. UnreasonableC. revolutionaryD. meaningless75. What does the author think of the study published in Attention Disoders？A. Its objects are too young to take the testB. Its findings are reliable due to the actigraphsC. It has enough objects to produce the resultsD. It provides various ways to help adults to take naps76. According to Dr Mark Mahone, a better-quality night sleep will result in ______.A. frequent rests on the sofaB. higher efficiency of learningC. more serious attention disorderD. fewer daytime naps at weekends77. The author talks mainly about his or her_______.A. opinions on whether children needs napsB. various systemic studies on children?s napsC. comments on some studies on children?s napsD. understanding of the functions of children?s napsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Are bees happier in cities?We often think of them as living happily in wildflower meadows (草场) and rolling fields. But new research suggests Britain?s bees are happier near towns and cities.A new study of wildlife sites across four English counties has found that most are home to fewer species of bee today than they were in the past. It found that the expansion of farmland has actually been more damaging to Britain?s bee population than the concreting over (铺设混凝土) of the countryside for housing. For instance, meadows near Milton Keynes now boast more species of bee than sites in more rural areas.Reading University researcher Dr Deepa Senapathi believes intensive agriculture is to blame. Climate change could be destroying the relationship between bees and plants. That's according to a study that said warmer springs can change the life cycles of bees, which can throw them out ofthe plants they rely on. The research is the first clear example of the potential for climate change to destroy such critical relationships between species.While the gardens, parks and churchyards of towns and cities provide bees with a variety of plants to forage on and an extended flowering season, popular crops such as oilseed rape only bloom for a few weeks. Dr senapathi said: ?While concreting over the countryside may appear to be bad news for nature, we‟ve found that progressive urbanization may be much less damaging than intensive agriculture.Urban areas may benefit bees more than farmland by providing a wide variety of flowering plants and an extended flowering season, according to the researcher.“Over the past century rural landscapes in Britain have become increasingly dominated by large expanses of monoculture - the growing of a single type of plant, which has helped boost crop production. But without a mixture of habitat and food sources, rural areas can sometimes be little better than green deserts for biodiversity (生物多样性).”Scientists around the country are trying to work out why populations of bees and other insects are falling. Pesticides, climate change and disease may, like intensive farming, be playing a role.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS) 78. According to the new study of wildlife sites across four English countries, the number of bee species is_____79. According to Dr Senapathi, the development of cities causes __________________________ to bees than farmlands in suburbs.80. What are the two advantages of urban areas over farmland when it comes to housing for bees?81.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Manufacturing is a one-way business.Raw materials go into a factory and finished products come out. Once those goods are21,producers usually wash their hands of them.Certainly they do not worry that most of the products are eventually burnt or buried in landfill,which22the planet.In only50 years,the world’s consumption of raw materials has nearly become four times as big,to more than100 billion tons,but only less than9%of this is reused,resulting in a23of materials.Industry does talk about sustainability and recycling,but much of that is24intended to improve brand images.Yet even a company’s profits can25being environmentally friendly.This is especially so in the case of“gigafactories”,so called because their output of batteries for electric vehicles(EVs)is measured in gigawatt hours(GWh).Every carmaking country wants gigafactories.Batteries are the costliest part of an EV,so making them is26.But they contain materials that are pricey and can be hard to obtain.Supply chains are long and complicated,and buyers risk their reputation27by their suppliers’poor environmental and labour standards.28materials makes sense.Being29,most gigafactories are designed with recycling in mind from the start.The result is a 30production process.The idea is that once31reach the ends of their lives,they should go back to a factory,where their components can be recovered and put into new batteries.Gigafactories are not yet models of the circular economy,but they are laying the foundations. Northvolt,a battery-maker,aims by2030to produce150GWh of batteries—enough to power some2 million EVs.By then,around half its raw materials should come from recycling old batteries.Northvolt is ing renewable power and other measures,CATL—the world’s biggest producer of EV batteries—thinks it should eventually be possible to reduce the carbon footprint of a battery towards zero.Could other industries do something similar?Fast fashion is widely known as a(n)33business. It is estimated that the recycling rate for little-worn clothing and footwear is just13%.A big part of the reason is the use of mixed fibres,which are hard to recycle.Clothing companies could,like gigafactories, re-engineer their processes to use fibres that are easier to handle.Consumer electronics is another such 34that creates piles of waste,despite the fact that electronic circuits containing precious materials such as gold and silver,and electric motors being made from rare earth metals.35could yet be made in the urban mining of last year’s cellphones and yesterday’s blouses.21.A.accepted B.designed C.sold D.stored22.A.rules B.saves C.heals D.pollutes23.A.analysis B.availability C.waste D.variety24.A.green-washing B.cost-cutting C.risk-taking D.trend-setting25.A.add to B.benefit from C.center around D.invest in26.A.innovative B.affordable C.profitable D.inefficient27.A.being defended B.being hurt C.being spread D.being overlooked28.A.Reusing B.Restoring C.Replacing D.Recharging29.A.big B.new C.rich D.rare30.A.full B.primary C.domestic D.circular31.A.batteries B.factories C.vehicles D.suppliers32.A.alone B.easy C.safe D.fair33.A.dynamic B.unsustainable C.inacceptable petitive34.A.gigafactory B.business pany D.manufacturer35.A.Exceptions plaints C.Discoveries D.FortunesSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)1One afternoon a few months before Tom and I were to be married,Max wandered into the dining room of the house we all shared.I was sorting through a box of old photographs.2“Who’s that?”he asked.3“That was my grandfather,the one who died a few months ago.”4“Hmm.Too bad he had to die.”5Just as I was about to put the last of the pictures in the box,Max pressed his finger to a face.“And who will this be to me?”6Beneath his finger I could see the edges of my own face.I was suddenly flooded with a joy which I had no name.This son of the man I loved was becoming my son.We’d have family Christmas cards and school art stuck to the fridge.All these things I’d never allowed myself to want.Now I was becoming a mother.7I should have known how to say just the right,wise,magical thing.But I didn’t.“I’ll be your second mom,”I said.8“Oh.”9“I’m sorry that your first mom died.I liked her.”10“What should I call you?”he asked.11My heart pounded,and my stomach turned over.Mama,I wanted to cry.I’ll be your mama and you’ll be my son.I resisted.“You can call me Mom,or Mama.You can also call me Betsy,if you’d rather. Whatever feels okay for you.”12He stood there a minute.“What’s for dinner?”he asked.13“Burgers.”14“Sweet,”he said as he walked out of the room.15At our wedding a few months later,Tom and I said our vows(誓言)to one another.Then Max was invited to stand beside us and I made vows to him.I promised to step into the shoes his mother had been forced to leave behind,to help him remember her,and to be the best mother I could be.16After the wedding,for the next few days,Max tried out a new title for me.“Can we go bowling?”he’d ask,and then follow the question by mouthing the word mom.Or,“Can we go to the store?”And the mouthed word,mom.Mom was always silent.It seemed he was trying it on,seeing how it felt in his mouth.17Weeks later as I drove him home from school,Max suddenly said,“I notice I don’t call you Mom.”18Oof.Who threw that rock at my chest?I breathed to calm my voice.“I noticed that.”19“When I say Betsy,I mean Mom.”20“Thanks,”I said.“That’s nice to know.”21He looked out the window.“Moms die,you know.I think it’s maybe safer if you’re just Betsy.”22I willed tears away,not wanting to overwhelm him.He had enough to carry.“Thanks,Bud.I appreciate you telling me.”23“Hey,Betsy?”24“Yeah,”I said,delighted with the new sound of my old name.25“What’s for dinner?”he asked.36.When Betty said“I’ll be your second mom,”(paragraph7),she__________.A.thought her role was significant to MaxB.wished Max could let go of the sad memoriesC.was looking forward to becoming Max’s motherD.suggested that she was legally responsible for Max37.According to Max,why did he call Betsy“Betsy”instead of Mom?A.He wants to tell Betsy she is his best friend.B.He still feels shy to address Betsy as Mom.C.He doesn’t want to forget his dead mother.D.He hopes Betsy could always be with him.38.How does Betsy most probably feel when Max mentions dinner at the end of the passage?A.Confused about Max’s favourite food.B.Happy to lead a regular family life.C.Relieved to have a simple conversation.D.Annoyed with Max’s constant questioning.39.Why does the author develop the passage with short dialogues?A.To reveal the tension between Max and Betsy.B.To show that Max is avoiding deep conversations.C.To help express the two speakers’emotions directly.D.To make the passage shorter and easier to understand.(B)Take our latest quiz!①You’ve just finished abook—do you know whatyou’ll

author is probably their favourite.C.Who they should turn to for reading tips.D.What their book-choosing style is.(C)The facts of climate change are widely reported.It is noted that with a2℃increase in global temperatures,as compared with a1.5℃increase,about61million more people living in urban areas around the world will be exposed to severe drought.The problem with communicating these numbers,however,is that math anxiety—the experience of tension,fear or worry when facing mathematical problems—and the inability to understand and employ numerical concepts—are both quite common.Despite high rates of innumeracy(数学盲),there are reasons to think that people may not disengage when they receive numbers.First,multiple past studies show that people often prefer getting numerical details over vague description or purely verbal communication.People also trust messages provided by medical professionals or journalists more when that communication includes numbers than when it does not.The use of specific numbers signals expertise to readers.But trade-offs exist.Given people’s anxiety about math and level of mathematical ability,there is an upper limit when communicating these kinds of details.In past research,it was found that people find numbers helpful,so long as there aren’t too many of them.No hard-and-fast rule suggests how many is too many—it depends on the complexity of the topic,people’s familiarity with the subject and their overall municators therefore need to know and attend to their audience:if a speaker sees someone looking bored,for example,it’s a sign to back off on the numbers.In addition to the possibility of being overloaded by numbers,their persuasive power could have consequences that communicators need to consider.Based on the most recent findings,more negative feelings about the posts containing numeric consequences of climate change are reported.To be clear,this doesn’t reflect math anxiety.Instead,these posts resulted in negative emotions because the numerically precise messages were stronger in conveying the disastrous consequences of climate change.If you cansuggest actions that people feel they can carry through,that could set off the negative feelings that arise when they consider climate change’s consequences.So whether you’re an environmentalist seeking to communicate more effectively over social media or looking for strategies to persuade family over the dinner table,there are a few lessons here.Find the key numerical data and share that.Think strategically about data presentation.When talking about climate change,include some proposed action.Given that past work suggests that sharing numbers builds trust, your readers or listeners may be more likely to follow your recommendations.When used wisely,numbers can help transform anxiety into action,which could help turn the tide in our fight against climate change.43.According to the passage,what can numbers do when they are used to illustrate climate change?A.They can arouse people’s anxiety about math.B.They leave the audience even more confused.C.They help make the message more credible.D.They don’t really change how people feel.44.Which of the following best fits the description of“trade-offs”(paragraph4)?A.Numbers cause difficulties in understanding the matter.B.People find the subject being talked about unfamiliar.C.It takes time to confirm the precision of all numbers.D.People tend to hold more debates about the topic.45.According to the passage,which of the following is an effective climate message?A.Sea level rise:a ticking time bomb for coastal cities!B.Cycle5miles daily,save50%on carbon emissions!C.50%of species lost:a warning from climate change!D.Plant more trees today,enjoy fresher air tomorrow!46.What is the best title for this passage?A.Numbers:Origin of tension about climate changeB.Numbers:Reason for high levels of math anxietyC.Numbers:Cause of boredom in public speakingD.Numbers:Aid in fighting environmental issuesSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.A dog won’t try to fix the problem the way some people do.B.Dogs are not just pets but beloved members of a family.C.Dogs are fantastic at reading us.D.Reading and understanding the needs of pets helps improve our overall emotional well-being.E.Talking to your dog about emotionally frustrating issues can be particularly beneficial.F.They’re more likely to distract you.The Benefits of Talking to Your DogIt’s common for people to chat with their dogs throughout the day—about what each other is doing or how cute or playful the pup is.It’s a gentle reminder of what’s meaningful.“When you talk to your dog, you get a sense that this is why you’re here—no matter what happens at work or with your finances,your dog still loves you and needs you,and that gives you a sense of purpose,”says Larry Young,an expert on social bonding at Emory University.47In a2018study,researchers found that people are more willing to reveal to their dogs about difficult emotions,such as depression,jealousy,anxiety,and fear,than they are with their romantic partners or friends.The precise reasons for this aren’t known but one possibility is that“pets are good,nonjudgmental listeners because they don’t interrupt or reply,”says study coauthor Daniel Mills,a specialist in human-animal relationships at the University of Lincoln.48Even so,there’s value in simply expressing emotions,especially troublesome ones.Research has found that when people put their emotions into words,their negative feelings become less intense.Another hidden advantage:Your dog isn’t going to engage in a conversation about what’s bothering you,which could keep you thinking about it.49“Dogs use emotionally controlling strategies,”Mills says.“Their desire to play draws you away from being sad or angry.”Further support for this phenomenon comes from a2022study.It was found that by engaging in micro-breaks to pet their pup,the people are able to relax and recover—in ways that interacting with unfurry family members doesn’t.50“They can sense when we’re upset—and they are arguably better at reading us than some people are,”says Kogan.And“because we know that our dogs read us so well,we regulate ourselves so as not to upset our dogs,which is helpful for us as well.”It’s a positive feedback loop(反馈回路).III.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.51.How Green is the Paris Olympic Games?The organizers of the Paris Olympic Games have promised to make the Games the most sustainable in the decades since climate change became a concern.But how did it work?On the plus side,organizers have been serious in their efforts to reduce carbon emissions.They measured the expected carbon footprint of the Games,reduced emissions through energy efficiencies and limited new construction by using existing facilities.But,the sustainability efforts in Paris have not all been smooth sailing.The Seine is scheduled to host marathon swimming.But despite spending1.4billion euros trying to clean the river,French authorities have achieved inconsistent results:Water tests in June still showed high levels of pollutants.The Paris organizers had also hoped to rely on a cooling system that pump cold water beneath the village’s floors.That technology was expected to reduce the carbon impact by45percent.But,eventually, they gave up their ambition to avoid using conventional air-conditioning in the Olympic Village,installing some2,500temporary air-conditioning units.For years,the organizers all promised the Games would be“climate positive.”But,whatever efforts were taken,none of them could really achieve sustainability as long as millions of tourists flew into the host anizers of the Rio Olympics in2016estimated that more than40%of the carbon emissions came from international spectators.This year,with tickets available on a central platform globally,the number of international visitors was beyond control.For all the efforts in Paris to reduce the carbon impact of the games,some of which have been considerable,the scale of future Games must be rethought.Jules Boykoff,who has written extensively about the Olympic Games,rightly argues that“the Games need to reduce their size”.It wouldn’t solve everything,but it would make these events more sustainable.IV.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in
