You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Readthe passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.Super realistic masks are made from flexible materials such as silicone and are designed to imitate real human faces -down to every last detail.In a study by the Universities of York and Kyoto, researchers asked participants to look at pairs of photographs and decide which showed a 26 face and which showed a person wearing a mask.Surprisingly, participants made the wrong call in one -in -five cases.The 20% error rate 27 in the study likely underestimates the extent to which people would struggle to tell an 28 face from the real thing outside of the lab.The researchers collected data from participants from both the UK and Japan to 29 any differences according to race. When trial participants were asked to choose between photographs of faces of a different race from theirs, response times were slower and selections were 5% less 30.There are now dozens of criminal cases in which offenders have 31 themselves off as people of a different age, race or gender, sending police investigations down the wrong path.In one recent case, an international gang used an 32 realistic mask to pose as a French minister, 33 business executives out of millions of pounds.Dr. Jet Sanders, who worked on the study while a PhD student at the University of York, said: "Failure to detect synthetic faces may have important implications for security and crime prevention as super realistic masks may 34 the key characteristics of a person's appearance to be 35 identified."Section BDirections : In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Eachstatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by markingthecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Stop thinking and start doingA) Most people have a dream in life, a vision of who or what they'd like to be in the future. At a minimum, everyone has interests and values that determine what they want out of their lives. Even so, trying to set achievable goals that you'll work for over the course of many years can be extremely challenging. It can be hard to know where to even begin, and the things you hope to achieve may seem impossible. But, if you're well prepared you may be able to set goals for your life that are just as fulfilling to work toward as to achieve.B) We all have goals that we want to achieve in our lives. These goals may include learning a newlanguage, eating healthier and losing weight, becoming a better parent, saving more money, and so on. It can be easy to assume that the gap between where you are now and where you want to be in the future is caused by a lack of knowledge. This is why we buy courses on how to start a business or how to lose weight fast or how to learn a new language in three months. We assume that if we knew about a better strategy, then we would get better results. We believe that a new result requires new knowledge.C) What I'm starting to realize, however, is that new knowledge does not necessarily drive newresults. In fact, learning something new can actually be a waste of time if your goal is to make progress and not simply gain additional knowledge.D) It all comes down to the difference between learning and practicing. Thomas Sterner, in his bookThe Practicing Mind, explains the key difference between practicing and learning. He says: “When we practice something, we are involved in the deliberate repetition of a process with the intention of reaching a specific goal." Here the words " deliberate" and "intention" are key, because they define the difference between actively practicing something and passively learning it.E) Learning something new and practicing something new may seem very similar, but these twomethods can have profoundly different results. Here are some additional ways to think about the difference. Let's say your goal is to get stronger and more fit. You can research the best instructions on weight lifting technique, but the only way to build strength is to practice lifting weights. Let's say your goal is to grow your startup. You can learn about the best way to make a sales pitch, but the only way to actually land customers is to practice making sales calls. Let'ssay your goal is to write a book. You can talk to a best-selling author about writing, but the only way to become a better writer is to practice publishing consistently.F) Passive learning creates knowledge. Active practice creates skill. Let's consider a couple morereasons to prioritize active practice over passive learning. First, passive learning can be a stick that supports inaction. In many cases, learing is actually a way to avoid taking action on the goals and interests that we say are important to us. For example, let's say you want to learn a foreign language. Reading a book on how to learn a foreign language quickly allows you to feel like you are making progress ("Hey, I'm figuring out the best way to do this!"). Of course, you're not actually practicing the action that would deliver your desired outcome (speaking the foreign language).G) In situations like this one, we often claim that we are preparing or researching the best method,but these rationalizations allow us to feel like we are moving forward when we are merely spinning our wheels. We make the mistake of being in motion rather than taking action.Learning is valuable until it becomes a form of procrastination(拖延).H) Another point to consider is that practice is learning, but learning is not practice. Passivelearning is not a form of practice because although you gain new knowledge, you are not discovering how to apply that knowledge. Active practice, meanwhile, is one of the greatest forms of learning because the mistakes you make while practicing reveal important insights.I) Even more importantly, practice is the only way to make a meaningful contribution with yourknowledge. You can watch an online course about how to build a business or read an article about a terrible disaster in a developing nation, but that knowledge is unproductive unless you actually launch your business or donate to those in need. Learning by itself can be valuable for you, but if you want to be valuable to others, then you have to express your knowledge in some way.J) The last important point to consider is that practice focuses your energy on the process. Thomas Sterner once said, "Progress is a natural result of staying focused on the process of doing anything." The state of your life right now is a result of the habits and beliefs that you have been practicing each day. When you realize this and begin to direct your focus toward practicing better habits day-in and day-out, continual progress will be the logical outcome. It is not the things we learn nor the dreams we visualize that determine our results, but rather the habits that we practice each day. Fall in love with boredom and focus your energy on the process, not theproduct.K) What does this all mean? Is passive learning useless? Of course not. In many cases, learning for the sake of learning can be a beautiful thing. Not to mention that soaking up new information can help you make more informed decisions when you do decide to take action. That said, the main point of this article is that learning by itself does not lead to progress. We often hide behind information and use learning as an excuse to delay the more difficult and more important choice of actually doing something. Spend less time passively learning and more time actively practicing. Stop thinking and start doing.36. Acquisition of new knowledge may not guarantee the progress that you aim to make.37. Your current situation in life is built on the beliefs and habits you have been practicing daily.38. Knowing the best way to learn a foreign language will not enable you to speak it without actualpractice.39. People may find it demanding to create a goal which will take a long time to achieve.40. Learning and practicing seem to be very much alike, but the two processes can lead to quitedifferent outcomes.41. Absorbing new information is helpful in making better decisions prior to action.42. Sometimes we may feel like we are making progress by doing some research or makingpreparations, but actually we are staying at the starting point.43. We are inclined to think that a lack of knowledge prevents us from advancing to a better future.44. Learning can benefit you by itself, but only practice can turn what you learn into meaningfulcontributions.45. Practice involves repeating a process intentionally to attain a particular objective.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Research in human-vehicle interaction has shown even systems designed to automate drivingare far from being error-proof. Recent evidence points to drivers' limited understanding of what these systems can and cannot do as a contributing factor to system misuse. A recent study tackles the issue of over-trusting drivers and the resulting system misuse from a legal viewpoint. It looks at what the manufacturers of self-driving cars should legally do to ensure that drivers understand how to use the vehicles appropriately.One solution suggested in the study involves requiring buyers to sign end-user license agreements (EULAs),similar to the terms and conditions that require agreement when using new software products. But this is far from ideal. The agreement may not provide enough information to the driver, leading to confusion about the nature of the requests for agreement and their implications. Further, most end users don't read EULAs. A 2017 study shows 91 percent of people agree to them without reading. Among young people, 97 percent agree without reviewing the terms.The issue is that, unlike using a smartphone app, operating a car has serious safety risks, whether the driver is human or software. And human drivers need to consent to take responsibility for the outcomes of the software and hardware."Warning fatigue" and distracted driving are also causes for concern. For example, a driver, annoyed after receiving continuous warnings, could decide to just ignore the message. Or, if the message is presented while the vehicle is in motion, it could represent a distraction. Given these limitations and concerns, even if this mode of obtaining consent is to move forward, it likely won't fully protect automakers from their legal liability should the system malfunction(发生故障)or an accident occur.Driver training for self-driving vehicles can help ensure that drivers fully understand system capabilities and limitations. This needs to occur beyond the vehicle purchase. Recent evidence shows even relying on the information provided by the seller is not going to answer many questions. All of this considered, the road forward for self-driving cars is not going to be a smooth ride after all.46. What do we learn from research in human-vehicle interaction?A) Automatic driving systems are by no means immune to errors.B) Driverless vehicles are likely to be misused by some people.C) Self-driving car manufacturers are not aware of the legal matters involved.D) There is a long way to go before humans can interact with driverless vehicles.47. What is the problem with requiring buyers to sign end-user license agreements?A) End users, young and old alike, find the terms complex to interpret.B) Most end users sign them without bothering to read the terms.C) Many people are often confused by the wording of the terms.D) Most end users do not understand the terms after reading them through48. What would drivers do when they suffer from "warning fatigue"?A) Waste no time keeping the car moving.B) Rest a while to avoid fatigue driving.C) Take no action despite repeated warnings.D) Take note of the message though fatigued.49. What does the author think of continuing to ask buyers to sign end-user license agreements?A) It will probably not guarantee the safety of drivers in case of accidents.B) It likely won't ensure that the automatic driving system functions properly.C) It likely won't fully protect automakers against accusations of deliberate cheating.D) It will probably not provide manufacturers adequate protection from legal responsibilities.50. What should be done to help drivers fully understand system capabilities and limitations?A) Training them to be experts in vehicle automation.B) Familiarizing them with the systems through training.C) Broadening their knowledge of accident-prevention mechanisms.D) Facilitating their access to the information provided by the seller.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Do you ever blend up a protein drink for breakfast, or grab a protein bar following an afternoon workout? If so, you are likely among the millions of people in search of more protein-rich diets.Protein-enriched products are found everywhere. But contrary to all the publicity that everyone needs more protein, most Americans get twice as much as they need.Many of us living in the most developed countries are buying into a myth of protein deficiency created by food companies and self-identified health experts. Global retail sales of protein supplement products reached an astonishing US$ 18.9 billion in 2020.But are we really in need of more protein? Physicians in the U.S. have never actually examined a patient with protein deficiency because simply by eating an adequate number of daily calories weare also most likely getting enough protein.In fact, Americans currently consume almost twice the National Academy of Medicine's recommended daily intake of protein although the most desirable protein intake may vary depending on age and activity level.For example, if you're a dedicated athlete you might need to consume higher quantities of protein. Generally, though, a 140-pound person should not exceed 120 grams of protein per day, particularly because a high protein diet can strain kidney and liver function and increase risks of developing heart disease and cancer.While fats and sugar have taken the beating in turns since over a century ago, protein has managed to remain our red-hot favorite.In the 1970s through the 1990s, protein products remained visible but moved back somewhat with the dietary spotlight firmly fixed on low-calorie, low-fat, sugar-free snack foods and beverages following the publication of studies linking sugar and saturated(饱和的)fat consumption to heart disease.Later research in 2003, however, suggested high-protein diets could aid in weight loss, and protein quickly regained its former nutrient-superstar status.Now most people living in high-income nations are consuming enough protein. When we replace meals with a protein bar or drink, we also risk missing out on the rich sources of antioxidants(抗氧化剂), vitamins and many other benefits of real food.51. What do we learn about publicity over protein in America?A) It has helped to create the myth of protein deficiency.B) It has helped Americans in search of protein-rich diets.C) It has raised a lot of health concerns among the public.D) It has been funded by food companies and health experts.52. Why have physicians in the U.S. never actually examined a patient with protein deficiency?A) Americans can purchase many kinds of protein-rich foods everywhere.B) Americans can absorb the number of calories recommended by food experts.C) Americans can get sufficient protein just by cating adequate foods daily.D) Americans can rely on food supplements to prevent protein deficiency.53. What should people take into consideration in deciding on the most preferable protein intake?A) How healthy they are and what food they eatB) How old they are and what activities they do.C) How much protein they consume and what their body weight is.D) How serious their protein deficiency is and what remedies they use.54. What foods have been largely out of favor for more than a century?A) Sugar-free snacks.B) Protein-rich foods.C) Both red and white meats.D) Sugary and fatty foods.55. What does the author imply people in developed countries should do to keep healthy?A) Enjoy natural food.B) Eat vegetarian diets.C) Consume enough protein daily.D) Replace meals with protein bars.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2. 中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如,我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代 诗人屈原的日子。那一天,人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征 着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。因此,中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国 的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday),除了常见的家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗 烹制传统食物,如铰子和年糕。 参考答案: Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake . 难点精析 ■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食:翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可,翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。 2.纪念:翻译为介词短语in memory of,修饰前面的a day。 ■ 3.赛龙舟:翻译为hold dragon boat races,其中hold意为“举行”,“举行龙舟比赛”即“赛龙舟”。 ■ 3.赛龙舟:翻译为hold dragon boat races,其中hold意为“举行”,“举行龙舟比赛”即“赛龙舟”。 4.观赏满月:“满月”即fMlmoon,此处的“观赏”可以译为viewing,也可以用enjoying或watching表示。 5.象征着家庭团聚:“象征”翻译为系表结构is a symbol for,也可以用动词symbolize表示,“家庭团聚”翻译: 为 family reunion 即可。 练习2 北京有无数的胡同(hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都北京带来了无穷的魅力。北京的胡同不仅仅 是平民百姓的生活环境,而且还是一门建筑艺术。通常,胡同内有一个大杂院,房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20 口人住。所以,胡同里的生活充满了友善和人情味。如今,随着社会和经济的飞速发展,很多胡同被新的高楼大 厦所取代。但愿胡同可以保留下来。 参考答案 In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs. The life of common people in hutongs brings endless charm to the ancient capital, Beijing. The hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of common people but also a kind of architecture. Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people. Therefore, life in hutongs is full of friendliness and genuine humanity. Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development, many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings. I hope hutongs can be preserved. 难点精析 1.带来了无穷的魅力:翻译为bring endless charm to。 2.汉语习惯于用并列的散句或短语来表达一个语境,而英文习惯上用整句表述,句内不太重要的信息会用 | 介词短语或从句来补充说明,如本段中“胡同内有一个大杂院,房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20口人住”是 : 两个并列关系的汉语短句,翻译成英文时可将第二句用with介词结构表达出来,起补充说明的作用。 3.充满友善和人情味:翻译为full of friendliness and genuine humanity。 4.随着社会和经济的飞速发展:翻译为with rapid social and economic development,也是with介词短语的应用,在句中作伴随状语。 练习3 过去的七年,中国的房地产(real estate)业经历了前所未有的高速增长。对于那些月薪较低却渴望在大城市 拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说,高昂的房价是他们无法承受的负担。鉴于这一状况,政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长,包括提高利率及增加房产税等。目前,这些措施在部分城市已经 取得了初步的成效。 参考答案 In the past seven years, Chinas real estate industry has developed in a record high speed. For those who earn less but are eager to own a decent and comfortable place of their own in a big city, the high housing price is a heavy burden that they cannot afford. For this reason, the government has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising interest rates and increasing taxes on real estate etc. Presently, these measures have achieved initial effects in some cities. 难点精析 1.房地产业:翻译为real estate industry。 2.前所未有的高速增长:翻译为a record high speed。 3.鉴于这一状况:可以根据上下文的语境转译为for this reason。 4.采取一系列的措施:翻译为take a series of measures。 5.取得初步成效:翻译为achieve initial effects。 练习4 如今,越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下:首先,大学生把在校的大多数 时间都用在了专业学科学习上,只有当他们开始找工作的时候,才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次,大 学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈,这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此,强烈建议大学生在 课余时间做一些兼职工作,以积累相关的工作经验。 参考答案 Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience. 难点精析 1.抱怨很难找到好工作:翻译为complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job。其中“抱怨做某事”用句型complain about doing sth.表示,having great difficulties in finding a good job表示“找工作有困难”,用
