Ⅱ 阅读（共两节，满分50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，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. Keep thinking and I will ask you again.” Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I was careful about the correct answer. So I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.” She looked at me and said, “You are learning fast, but it is not correct because there are many people who are blind.” Over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, “No, but you are getting smarter every year, my son.” Then last year, my Grandpa died. My family sank in sadness and cried. When it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa, she asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?” I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.” I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is our shoulder.” I asked, “Is it because it holds up our head?” She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends so that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.” Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sensitive to the suffering of others and caring for those in pain.

Advertisement.BA struggling Waffle (华夫饼) House employee who was trying to serve nearly 30 people by himself after midnight got a full serving of kindness when some customers jumped behind the counter to help him.Ethan Crispo, 24, witnessed the inspiring scene in the early hours of Nov. 3 at a Waffle House in Birmingham, Alabama.Crispo told TODAY’s Kerry Sanders that he had come to the 24-hour restaurant from a friend’s birthday party and saw the struggling employee, identified only as Ben, trying to cook the food, serve it, set tables and wash dishes while more than 25 people were waiting to eat.“The look on his face was just confusion,” Crispo told Sanders.An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out, grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.Another customer, Alison Stanley, went behind the counter to make some coffee — still dressed from a night out on the town.“I don’t think it’s anything special,” Stanley told Sanders. “He needed help, so I got up and helped out.”Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to clear tables and wash dishes while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.Waffle House told TODAY that Ben was left to support himself due to a scheduling issue.“We had two associates scheduled to leave. However, due to a communication mix-up, their relief did not show up on time,” Waffle House director of PR Pat Warner said in a statement. “That left Ben, our cook, al one in the restaurant with hungry customers. He worked the grill and got the orders out.”The company was also thankful for the customers who joined in and helped Ben out.“We are grateful that many of our customers feel like they are part of our Waffle House family,” Warner said. “There is a sense of community in each and every one of our restaurants, and we appreciate the fact that they consider our associates like family.”“We are also very thankful for Ben, who kept the restaurant open. He is a represen tative of our Waffle House culture by always putting the customers first.”Crispo had his usual order, double plain waffle, as he took in the scene of strangers helping out Ben on his shift.“Humanity truly isn’t good —it’s great!” he said.24. Ben was left to work alone during his midnight shift because ________.A. his associates asked for a leaveB. there was a scheduling mistakeC. few customers needed to be servedD. the restaurant was scheduled to close25. Some customers helped Ben out by ________.A. washing dishesB. taking photosC. taking ordersD. cooking food26. Why did the customers lend a helping hand according to Pat Warner?A. They shared the same community spirit.B. They were family members of Ben.C. They wanted to serve themselves.D. They were too hungry to wait.27. How did Crispo feel as a witness of the scene?A. Lucky and excited.B. Moved and inspired.C. Relieved and hopeful.D. Content and unbelievable.CIt’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at viewers, following them with her eyes no matter where they are in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle of 15.4°off to the viewer’s right — well outside the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.”This is ironic (讽刺), because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect”, which is absolutely real. If a person isillustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him.To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers gathered 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected (相交) Mona Lisa’s gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the “Mona Lisa” portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.28. It is generally believed that the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa” ________.A. attracts the viewers to look backB. seems mysterious because of her eyesC. fixes her eyes on the back of the viewersD. looks at observers wherever they stand29. What did the new study find?A. The Mona Lisa effect does not really exist.B. The mystery of the woman’s smile in the painting.C. The angle of the gaze in Mona Lisa effect.D. Mona Lisa effect does not occur with Mona Lisa.30. The experiment involving 24 people was conducted to ________.A. confirm Horstmann’s beliefB. create artificial-intelligence avatarsC. calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gazeD. show how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Horstmann thinks it cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgement.DIt’s almost spring, the time of year when the change in seasons could lead to some pretty fascinating cloud activity in the sky. NASA and the GLOBE Program are inviting you to take part in a citizen sciencecloud observation challenge.The GLOBE Program is an international science and education program providing the public with the opportunity to participate in the scientific process. From March 15 through April 15, citizen scientists can make up to 10 cloud observations per day using the GLOBE Observer app or one of the other data entry options (for trained GLOBE members). Challenge participants with the most observations will be c ongratulated by a NASA scientist in a video posted on the GLOBE Program’s website and social media.“The GLOBE Program is offering this challenge to show how important it is to NASA to have citizen scientist observations from ground up,” said Marile Colon Robles, lead for the GLOBE Clouds team at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.Researchers use and value this citizen science cloud data because it helps confirm data from Earth-observing instruments.Scientists at Langley work with a set of six instruments known as the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES). Even though C ERES’ instruments use advanced technology, it is not always easy for researchers to positively identify all types of clouds in their images.For example, it can be difficult to tell thin, wispy cirrus clouds (细小的卷云) from snow, since both are cold and bright; it is even more so when cirrus clouds are above a surface with patchy snow (片状雪) or snow cover. One solution is to look at satellite images from a particular area and compare them to data submitted by citizen scientists on the ground.“Looking at what an observer recorded as clouds and looking at their surface observations really helps us better understand the images that were matched from the satellite,” said Colon Robles.You don’t have to be a cloud-gazing professional to participate. For those who want to be part of the challenge but don’t have a lot of experience identifying clouds, Colon Robles offers the following advice: “Just go outside. The more clouds you observe, the more comfortable you’ll be collecting data.”32. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?A. Provide background information.B. Present an argument.C. Attract readers’ attention.D. Offer advice to readers.33. Why do researchers launch the cloud observation challenge?A. The GLOBE Program is badly short of hands.B. The technology CERES uses is not advanced.C. Cirrus clouds are difficult to identify with snow cover.D. Scientists can compare data from different instruments.34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Citizen observers can only submit data by means of an app.B. Observers with the most observations will receive a special honor.C. Observations from the ground are not as valuable as satellite images.D. The data collected by citizen scientists will be posted on social media.35. Which is the best title for the passage?A. NASA to Employ New MembersB. Cloud Activities Bring a New ChallengeC. Scientists to Teach You to Observe CloudsD. Citizens Gain Experience through Observation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。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.In colleges around the country, most students are also workers.The reality of college can be pretty different from the images (21)______(present) in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.This isn't a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students (22)______(be) on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work all year round. About one-quarter of those who work while (23)______ (attend) school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition and living costs, obviously. And there's value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical (24)______developing important professional and social skills that make (25)______easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way (26)______(ensure) a job later on.But it's not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that (27)______they're sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance (28) ______students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students (29) ______end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn't gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students (30)______(far) into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.Section B(15%)Directions: Complete the fallowing paragraphs by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.When you go to a grocery store, you expect to pay for your goods with money. But students at a high school in Texas, US, opened a store that runs on good deeds.In November, students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger launched a grocery store that enables students to 31 necessities such as toilet paper, meat and basic food items using a point system. The store aims to support families in need.In our school district, there are 32 2, 750 students enrolled and throughout the district, 43 percent of these students are considered economically 33 Anthony Love, principal of Linda Tutt told CNN. "About 3.6 percent of our students are considered homeless. We thought it was important to 34 them and their families and make sure they had food on the table.”Students earn points by 35 positively to the school. For those students from poor families, the point system has provided a way for them to shop for their families, according to Love. “They can earn points for doing chores around the building or helping to clean” he said.With the help of partners like Texas Health. Albertsons and First Refuge Ministries, the school was able to stock the shelves.The number of points for each item was actually 36 by the students. "So we walked through here and decided that a can of green beans was one point,” said Paul Juarez, the executive director of First Refuge Ministries.Juarez said that he hopes the idea gets 37 in other areas. “It gives us a picture of what can be. So if we can do this inside other schools, it will do a whole lot to help other small towns.”In addition to the 38 benefits, students also learn about supply management and customer service, and such lessons could prepare them for future jobs.The grocery store's student manager, Hunter Weertman, said he has already learned important life skills from his experience at the store, such as making good spending choices and budgeting.The store 39 was also welcomed by Thomas Muir, Sanger’s mayor. “We all had our first jobs and it taught us how to work, and what you got for your work,” he said. “I think this will do that for them too, and also meet an 40 need.”III. Reading Comprehension (45%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages 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.A Need to Close the Digital Gender GapOne of the most efficient ways to promote peace and jump-start flagging economies is to empower girls and invest in their education. Today, girls’ lack of access to basic education is 41 when it comes to the use of digital technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is ever more digital, those who lack basic Internet skills will find it 42 difficult to participate in the formal economy, to obtain a quality education, to 43 health care, information and psychosocial support, and to have their voices heard.Since 2013 the global gender gap in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. 44 yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less 45 than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most common means of Internet access there. This digital 46 is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is predicted that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack Internet access and 47 skills.There are many causes for the digital gender gap. They include girls' obvious 48 from basic education, from specific technology education and design, high costs of both 49 and Internet access, scarcity of content relevant for women and girls, and socio-cultural biases and 50 , such as barriers to women speaking freely and privately both online and offline. Indeed, one of the most insidious (隐伏的)reasons why girls may be 51 from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology. The United Nations has announced that human rights online are human rights offline. These stereotypes reinforce harmful norms that keep women and girls from enjoying their human rights.According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, an independent, non-profit and non-governmental research organization, the gender digital gap is a major 52 to women's economic empowerment and participation in the economy. 53 a major increase of policy effort and investment, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, worsening gender inequality. This also results in 54 economic growth and innovation that is possible only when men and women have equal access to technology and the economy.In the words of USAID Senior Gender Coordinator Michelle Bekkering, "A girl's future should be 55 not by her sex, but by her commitment to hard work and ability to access the resources she needs to succeed.”Section BDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions orunfinished 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 ）Becoming a real runnerI would never use the word “athletic” to describe myself. To me, athletes are people who really enjoy working out. I remember crying in middle school when I had to run a mile during gym class. I huffed and puffed as I jogged. As I grew up, I would go to the gym, but I never enjoyed working out. That, I thought, was for real runners.In June 2017, my friend sent me an email that would forever change my attitude towards running. He was training for a 200-mile relay （接力赛）and wanted me to be on his team. I would run three legs between four and six miles each over the course of two days. Figuring that I would never again have the chance to work with some top runners, I immediately agreed, and started running outside to prepare.That first run was hard. I purposefully avoided Central Park in order to stay away from real runners. After a few blocks, I was already winded, and ran the rest of the way home. 1 called my mom, choked up, to say I had no hope at all of running this relay. But she encouraged me to keep at it, so I didn't quit. I went from running four miles a week to eight within one month before my advanced41. A. improved42. A. considerately43. A. access44. A.

Through C. missed C. designed D. resulted D. technically D. promote D. Strangely D. feasible D. shortage D. practical D. division D. experts D. distinction D. disappointed D. barrier D. Despite D. rapid D. outlinedtraining began.I was frightened going into the first training session with the team as everyone else was super “athletic”. We ran for five miles, and I was significantly slower. However, my teammates were so supportive that I felt the runner's high, which I had never believed existed.One day, about two weeks into training, my ankle gave out while I was running in Central Park.I was diagnosed with a stress fracture（应力性骨折）.The doctor told me to stop running for two months. It took me a while to face the fact that I was out of the race. My doctor told me that he too had once been struck down with a stress fracture, and the following year, he beat his best running time in a half-marathon. That brought me hope.I made it through the next two months by picturing myself running again. Just yesterday, for the first time since that fateful day, 1 took my outdoor run with my physical therapist. I mentioned that I might run a half-marathon the next year. Now I wake up excited for the days I get to run. Maybe I ama “real runner” after all.56.According to the article, when did the author start to feel passion for running?A.After she got into the habit of working out.B.After she got the courage to run outdoors on her own.C.After she ran with some top runners and got their encouragement.D.After she broke her ankle in training and stayed in bed for two months.57.The underlined word in the passage refers to her doctor's.A.helpful adviceB.immediate treatmentC.experience in the marathonD.personal experience with an injury58.What can we infer from the article about the author?A.She didn't take the relay seriously.B.She had a strict and overprotective mother.C.She felt disappointed about withdrawing from the race.D.She would have expected to run a half-marathon if she had won the race.59. The author's purpose of writing the article was to______.A. urge readers to exercise regularlyB. share with readers the fun of runningC. warn readers to be careful about runningD. encourage readers to pursue their hobbies(B)Private Butler(管家)Typical salary: £60,000 to £90,000, or more. 'An entry level butler we've trained will walk into a salary of £35,000, while a very experienced private butler can earn up to £150,000/ says Sara Vestin,director of the British Butler Academy.The job: A private butler can be called on by his or her employer to do anything from wardrobe management to chauffeuring to pet care. Typical duties include managing other staff serving at every meal, running errands, looking after guests, booking restaurants, house security, housekeeping, cooking and anything else the household needs. But most of all, it's personal service, tailored to the very wealthy individual the butler works for.Qualifications: No special qualifications are required, but it's advisable to do a course at a training college such as Vestin's British Butler Academy or the British Butler Institute. ‘Recruitment consultants and VIP clients come to our mansion to scout out the good students.’Vestin says.To succeed as a butler, you need...a ‘service mind’, says Vestin. You must have the mindset of someone who genuinely thrives on looking after others. 'You cannot do the job without this, even if you were an amazing actor. Some people have it and some don't.' Also, she says, it's essential to have an eye for detail, a steady hand and the ability to deal with all sorts of people.Worst thing about the job: Long hours and an unpredictable work schedule mean it's difficult to have a family life. Butlers also suffer from isolation and cultural differences with their employer and they may be obliged to work for people who aren't always nice.60.Which of the following is true of a butler?A.A course at a training college is a must in order to get the job.B.A butler should be able to tailor his service to his clients.C.Male butlers are favored over female ones.D.There is no ceiling of salary.61.The underlined word "thrives oir" in the passage probably means.A. is reminded ofB. is capable ofC. is convinced ofD. is in favour of62.Which is not the downside of being a butler?A.Cultural misunderstanding may arise.B.The job may make one's family life difficult.C.Sometimes they have to work for impolite clients.D.They may enjoy the company of his or her clients.(C)Today's students have a problem. They were born into a world where technology, smartphones, and immediate access to the Internet are hurting their ability to focus and changing the way they think.Now teachers have a problem too. They find it particularly exhausting to ask students to readcomplex or long texts without taking regular breaks. Smartphones have clearly affected the younger generation, but how education should evolve for digital-native students?A common idea among teachers is that short is good. When students can't seem to pay attention to long lectures, many teachers simply hack lessons into smaller patterns. In fact, students need time to engage with a topic once the teacher introduces it before moving on. Switching between small lessons too quickly could rob them of valuable comprehension.There are also teachers who begin classes with meditation exercises to help their students fo cus. However, it turns out that any sort of “tech breaks” could counteracts(抵消) strong desires to multi task.A 2018 study found that students aged between 10 and 24 tend to stay away from physical books. They prefer video as a source of information second only to teachers. Therefore, some tech-forward teachers choose platforms such as YouTube and Instagram. Asha Choksi, vice-president of global research at Pearson, gives the example of a teacher who films himself performing a science experiment and posts it to YouTube. When it is time for class, he uses the video to illustrate material in the textbook, which can seem boring to students.Still, while those educators are embracing technology in the classroom to meet student's needs, they also find value in traditional methods, and so suggest a “blended(混合的)learning” approach. Direct instruction from them will never be replaced in their classes. Technology will be favored only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline.Digital natives will continue to eagerly adopt new media. Teachers have no choice but to evolve. They are making an effort not only to ensure that students can take advantage of new technologies, but to teach students valuable skills that can help them think in a world constantly trying to distract them. Think of the Zuckerbergs, the Gates, the Jobs and all those pioneers in the tech world. They became successful not because they could code(编程)；it was because they could think.63.What is the best title of this passage?A.Students' Distracting from a Digital WorldB.Teachers' Learning for a Distracted GenerationC.Students5 Learning for a Digital Worldcation's Evolving for a Distracted Generation64.According to the passage, which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?A.Teachers adopt short lectures, small lessons, which could be hard to understandsometimes.B.Teachers employ meditation exercises to help students concentrate on class, which is offew effects.C.Students aged between 10 and 24 don't prefer physical books, so YouTube and Instagrammay be a good choice.D.Students aged between 10 and 24 prefer videos to teachers, so using video to explaintextbooks is a popular way.65.According to the article, a “blended learning” approach is suggested mainly because_____.(1). the teacher's authority remains unchallenged(2). technology is a useful supplement to textbooks(3). material in the textbook is too boring to most students(4). teachers want to change their traditional teaching methodsA.(l)、⑵B.(2)、⑶C.(3)、(4)D.(l)、(4)66.According to the author, a teacher's top priority is.A.to share as much knowledge with students as possibleB.to encourage students to make full use of new technologiesC.to help students develop their ability to think critically and creativelyD.to instruct students to limit their use of smart phones and social mediaSection 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.The World Needs ZoosZoos play an important role in the world for conservation and education. They are particularly important for endangered species. Many animals are critically endangered and may go extinct in the wild, but in zoos, they are going strong. Many others are already extinct in the wild and only survive thanks to populations kept in captivity(圈禁).Even those critical of zoos often recognize that it is better to have species preserved somewhere than lose them altogether. 67 Take the ring-tailed lemur of Madagascar （环尾狐猴）for example. These lemurs are almost common in zoos as they breed well in captivity and the public are fond of them. However, despite their high numbers in collections around the world, they are the most threatened mammalian group on the planet. A recent survey suggests that up to 95 percent of the wild populations have been lost since 2000. 68 One bad year or a new disease could wipe out those which still remain in the wild.Such trends are not isolated. The giraffe is another very common species in zoos. Unlike thelemurs, giraffes are widespread in the countries across much of sub-Saharan Africa. Yet giraffe populations have gone down by a third in the last thirty years. While less dramatic than the drop in lemur numbers, this is obviously a major loss and again, whole populations (which some scientists think are of unique subspecies) are on the verge of extinction.69 Ongoing and future issues from climate change can have unexpected effects on wildlife. It will become more difficult for conservationists to predict which species might be at risk. As it is, experts are struggling to continue monitoring the species that are already known to be vulnerable, so it is easy to see why common species might be overlooked. People might not take the great loss of local species seriously on the assumption that these animals are heavily populated elsewhere, but unfortunately that is not always the case.There will, I suspect, always be resistance to the argument for keeping animals in captivity and I will not defend the zoos that are badly managed and in desperate need of improvement or closure. But if we wish to keep any real measure of biodiversity on the planet, we may have to lean on zoos far more than many people realize. 70IV Summary Writing (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. Should Our Societies Go Cashless?The rise of contactless payment and digital wallets is making cash useless in a lot of cities. In fact, those who are still used to paying with "real” cash wou ld feel like aliens in Sweden. While the Nordic country is still singled out as a rarity for taking the cashless route, it won't be long before more countries join it by venturing down the same path.One of the biggest benefits of getting rid of cash is the elimination of its anonymity(匿名性).Cash plays a major role in the crime world, which makes going cashless a more transparent(透明的)alternative. Since all digital transactions leave a record behind, anyone with an interest in learning about the cash flow of a business or individual could easily trace where the money came from.There is another benefit to cashless societies: there no longer needs to be an intermediary to pay extra fees. Today, banks and financial institutions are necessary for supporting the whole wealth system. For those services, intermediaries charge predefined fees that are always paid by the customers.However, we should not rush into things. A completely digital system would leave a lot of people on the outside looking in not just the homeless, but also the elderly who would not know how to deal with cashless systems.Going cashless also has the issue of trace-ability. In a time where there are major concerns surrounding security and privacy, we have a good reason to worry about how the government is going to be able to protect our money. What’s more, the users themselves will have to avoid fallingvictim to identity theft and online fraud.These are challenges that won't be easy to solve. It feels like our best bet is leaving space for the shift to happen naturally. It is the only way to ensure no one is left out as we figure out if people are ready to live in a world with no physical wallets.V.

Also, children who slept for shorter periods at night were more likely to be associated with borderline personality disorder at ages 11 and 12.The research, published in the journalJAMA Psychiatry, was the first time possible links between early childhood sleep problems and adolescent psychotic experiences and borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms have been examined.“We know from previous research that persistent nightmares in children have been associated with both psychosis and borderline personality disorder,” said lead author Isabel at theInstituteofMental Healthat theUniversityofBirmingham.“But nightmares don’t tell the whole story. We’ve found that, in fact, a number of behavioral sleep problems in childhood can point towards these problems in adolescence,” she said.Adolescence, typically defined as the ages between 10 and 19, is a key period in human development because of brain and hormonal changes, anditis now thought to be when many mental health problems start.Prior research inAustraliafound that babies with persistent severe sleep problems in their first year were at greater risk for anxiety and emotional issues in later childhood. Sleep problems in children and adolescents have been shown to predict the development of various emotional and behavioral problems, including depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, risk-taking and aggression. However, findings have been inconsistent, especially when based on objective measurements of sleep, rather than parental reports.Sleep and mental health are closely connected in adults, with sleep problems increasing the risk for developing particular mental illnesses as well as resulting in mental health issues.4. What can we know from paragraph 3?A. Childhood sleep problems probably cause youth mental health problems.B. Severe sleep problems in childhood lead to emotional issues.C. Persistent nightmares in children are closely related to psychosis.D. The research has not been known to the public.5. What does “it” refer to in paragraph 6?A. Adolescence.B. Key period.C. Human developmentD. Hormonal change.6. According to the Australian research, older children who had long-term serious sleep issues at one year old are more likely to ________.A. grow slowlyB. develop attention-deficit hyperactivity disorderC. do badly in lessonsD. suffer from anxiety7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. A Study About Childhood Sleep Problems Is Under ProgressB. Pay Attention to Children Who Lack SleepC. Childhood Sleep Issues Linked to Adolescent Mental Health ProblemsD. How to Help Children Develop a Good Sleep HabitCMore than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers(志愿者).The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,” a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund(救灾基金会) will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water. So far no deaths have been reported.8. This passage is probably taken from______.A. a storybookB. a textbookC. a magazineD. a newspaper9. It seems that the flood happened just because ______.A. the banks were too lowB. the wooden bridge is solid (坚固)C. the river was too narrowD. they had had wet days for some time10.From the passage we know that ______.A. though the town was flooded, you could still go there by busB. as soon as the water flowed over the banks, people began to go to higher landsC. the government and the whole society are taking great care of the flood victimsD. the flood hasn't brought a large loss to the town as nobody died in the flood11.

Rescue Team ArrivedDAncient Dunhuang manuscripts housed abroad have been edited and published by the Institute for Overseas National Literature of Northwest Minzu University since 2006. Up till now, 9 manuscripts kept in the British Library and22 inthe National Library of France have been finished, the institute said on April 24, 2018.Tens of thousands of valuable ancient documents and cultural relics, discovered in the Mogao Grottos in Dunhuang, Gansu province, were scattered overseas in the early 20th century. Dunhuang manuscripts currently in the British Library and the National Library of France are the most important ancient national documents housed abroad.Co-edited by Institute for Overseas National Literature of Northwest Minzu University, Shanghai Classics Publishing House, the British Library and the National Library of France, these Dunhuang manuscripts return home in publication form for the first time. The institute is also preparing an online database of the manuscripts.According to Cai Rang, associate director of the institute, Dunhuang manuscripts scattered overseas in Russia, Britain, France and Japan have rich contents, including Buddhism law, social contract, history,linguisticsand art. The institute has edited and published 31 manuscripts over the past 13 years, but the work has not been finished. It plans to publish 15 from the British Library and over 30 from the National Library of France all together.

It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school's Grade 2class. Today ,at18,the Grade 12 student's initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode(解码)real-world problems.In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post- class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there.When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn't be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy―a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge―which guides users through CPR using vibrations(震动) to regulate breath. After winning theaward, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn't lose her cool over. “There's no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),”she says.The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US.When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics―combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.“There's not enough optimism in the world," she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I've lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you're in to make it somewhat better."4.What is Angelina's pursuit?A. To design games for kids.B. To stimulate teen's curiosity.C. To address problems through technology.D. To find innovative approaches to digital challenges.5.What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3?A. She couldn't breathe regularly.B. She was inspired by celebrities.C. She replaced CPR with an app.D. She was humble about her success.6.What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track?A. To direct pilots' career paths.B. To help to-be pilots find funds.C. To pair future pilots with airlines.D. To evaluate pilot training schools.7. What might be the best title?A. Breaking the codeB. Bearing growing painsC. Facing life as it isD. Following role modelsCSome people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, suggests new research.When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago, some of them mated with Neanderthals, who had already adapted to the colder, darker climates of the north. The ripple(涟漪) effects of that intermating still exist today: Modern humans of non- African ancestry(血统)have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Some of that DNA relates to sleep more specifically, the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.For the new study, researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Neanderthal fossils(化石).In both groups, they found some of the same genetic variants involved with the circadian rhythm. And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also reported being early risers.For Neanderthals, being “morning people” might not have been the real benefit of carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, more flexible internal body clocks, which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight. This connection makes sense in the context of human history. When early humans moved north out of Africa, they would have experienced variable daylight hours--shorter days in the winter and longer days in the summer-for the first time. The Neanderthals' circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans' offspring(后代)adapt to this new environment.Notably ,the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep habits of all early risers. Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute , including social and environmental influences. The study also only included DNA from a database called the U.K. Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans. Next, the research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for people of other ancestries. If the findings do apply more broadly , they may one day be useful for improving sleep in the modern world, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing smartphones.8.What does the new research focus on?A. DNA's dramatic changes.B. Genes’ influence on early risers.C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.D. Ancestors’ environmental adaptability.9.What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?A. Historical context.B. Additional proof.C. Sample analysis.D. Studying process.10. What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthal's DNA for modern humans?A .Getting up earlier. B. Having healthier daily routines.C. Being more flexible in their work.D. Possessing a better circadian rhythm.11. What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?A. They get proof from other studies.B. They are confirmed by early risers.C. They suggest potential applications.D. They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.DI had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well , because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children's development many parents are led to believe. However, the book's repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing the epidemic (流行病)of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse , the rude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心)us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people.Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers.We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews centralize on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities finds no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use.As a psychologist studying children's and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’frustration(沮丧)and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors.More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more.12.What is presented in The Anxious Generation?A. Scary stories affect children's brains.B. Parents are responsible for children's health.C. Teen's mental illness results from screen time.D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable.13.What does “the same message ”underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Many countries do research in mental health.B. Well-being and social media are closely related.C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis,D. Social media don't necessarily cause mental illness.14. What is implied in the last paragraph?A. Effective actions need to be taken.B. Positive stories should be shared.C. Financial support needs to be provided.D. Broader research should be done.15.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To suggest ways to help those in need.B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis.C. To recommend a newly-published book.D. To give a voice to children's mental issues.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

possibly found?A.clinic notice.B.A guideline for parents.C.A medical journal.D.A school yearbook.BSome time ago,in my class was about to fail a student for his answer to a physics question when the student claimed he deserved a better score.The examination question sounded “safe ”.“Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(压表)”The student had answered:“Take the barometer to the top of the building,attach long rope to it,lower the barometer to the street,and then bring it up,measuring the length of the rope.The length of the rope is the height of the building.”I argued that a high grade should prove his competence in physics,but the answer did not confirm this.I suggested that the student have another try.Immediately,he worked out his answer:A second best way is to take the barometer to the top of the building.Drop the barometer,timing its fall with a stopwatch.Then,using the formula s=2a 21t ,calculate the height of the building.I was shocked by his answer.His method gave me not only a broken barometer but a U-turn in my teaching philosophy.I gave him full marks.On his leaving my office,I recalled that he suggested there could be better answer.So I asked him what it was.“Oh,yes,”said the student,“There are many ways.Probably the best,”he said,“is to take the barometer to the basement and ask the superintendent(楼管).You speak to him as follows:‘Mr.Superintendent,here I have a fine barometer.If you tell me the height of this building,I will give it to you.’”At this point,I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question.He admitted that he did,but said that he was fed up with high school instructors'trying to teach him how to think,and to use the so-called scientific “method”.He just wanted to solve theproblem in a practical manner,not just answer the question in an expected way.Hearing this,I really had nothing to do but give the boy a firm handshake,feeling thankful that I hadn't failed him in the first place and even more thankful,neither had he.24.Why did the author want to fail the student in the first place?A.The student challenged his authority.B.The student's answer was not practical.C.The student didn't show his academic ability.D.The student had a poor performance in physics class.25.Which of the following can best describe

your horse to the river,but you can't make it drink26.What made the student abandon the conventional answer?ck of physics-related knowledge.B.Ignorance of the teacher's expectation.C.Intention to deeply impress his teacher.D.Disapproval of existing teaching concepts.27.What can we infer from the text?A.The superintendent was greedy person.B.School education restricted this student's thinkingC.The teacher appreciated the student's answers finally.D.The examination question is tough physics problem.CIt's been nearly two decades since the traditional clothing style Hanfu first started to re-emerge in China.Since then,it has gone from a small cultural movement celebrating an ancient fashion to a trend that is booming on social media,having been adopted by China's Generation Z as a means of connecting with their past.Instead of following other cultures blindly,Generation Z now have different opinions about what trend is by promoting local culture while having an objective view of exotic cultural products.The new tastes of Generation Z—young people born after1995—are well represented on Bilibili.In the recent New Year's Eve gala presented by Bilibili,it attracted more than100million views within48hours with a colorful set of programs ranging from Peking Opera to classical Chinese cartoon.The same is also true of movie st year,for the first time,the top10 most viewed films in China were all domestic films,while the ticket sales for imported films have dropped to only16.28percent.“Generation Z grew up with the rapid development of China and under good economic conditions.With the development of the Chinese Internet industry,they have more access to diverseinternational information and culture,which bring them a much broader vision and makes them more open and confident in analyzing foreign culture.Apart from taking pride in China's rapid development,this generation also pursues individuality and values devotion to the country. Professor Zhang Yiwu said.He also noted that the popular rock and punk culture pursued by the70s and80s generation is more of a challenge against real life and local culture.Some people who were born in the1970s and1980s did not grow up in the Internet age-they experienced the transformation of China going from poor to rich first-hand.This kind of longing and admiration of the West came from a lack of confidence.However,the Generation Z now have the confidence to look at Western culture with equal status.This kind of cultural confidence will result in China being more active and creative in its development on the international stage in the future.28.What does the underlined word“exotic“in paragraph mean?A.Foreign.B.Fashionable.C.Traditional.D.Dominant.29.Why is Bilibili mentioned in paragraph2?A.To confirm the rise of new media.B.To promote Chinese Internet industry.C.To be compared with the movie industry.D.To highlight the popularity of domestic art.30.What do we know about Generation Z from the text?A.They have a stronger cultural identity.B.They are longing for cultural diversity.C.They have made China develop rapidly.D.They have more sense of individuality31.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Confident China,Better FutureB.China's Progress Results in Cultural ConfidenceC.China's New Generation Redefine Local Culture as TrendyD.Hanfu Style,Connector of Ancient Fashion and Modern TrendDA great deal of personal protective equipment(PPE)-for example,disposable masks,rubber gloves-has been used since the pandemic began.It is estimated that medical waste including masks which take450years to decompose(in nature,has increased by60percent during the pandemic.A survey by Indonesian Institute of Sciences(LIPI)Research Centre found that masks and other healthcare garbage made up16percent of the total floating in the Cilincing and Marunda river in Jakarta Bay in March and April last year.Finding ways to change this is top of mind for some researchers.The team at LIPI is experimenting with the disposable masks containing polypropylene(聚丙烯),type of plastic that is tough but stretchable,which makes“good raw material”to producevarious plastic products.At RMIT university in Melbourne,Australia,researchers are making mix of mask pellets(颗粒),which help to add hardness and strength,and process building rubble designed to be used for base layer of roads and pavements.One kilometer of two-lane road will use around3million masks,preventing93tons of waste from going to landfill.For the broader demand in mask recycling,TerraCycle,a waste management and recycling company,offers a Zero Waste Box that works like a recycling bin for used safety and protective equipment.Waste from hospital and medical centers is not included.The box comes with a prepaid return label.Once full,it can be sent back to the company.All Zero Waste Boxes are quarantined (on arrival for minimum of72hours to protect the workers handling the waste,separating the collected waste into fibers and plastics mechanically or manually.At last,they will be transported to the company's various third-party partners to manufacture a variety of new products including outdoor furniture watering cans and storage containers,etc.“To adopt the new recycling methods on a large scale would require a steady supply of waste masks in order to keep the machine running,an official from the Plastic Recycling Association said,“but this never means those innovations are white elephants.“32.What do the statistics in paragraph I suggest?A.Seriousness of the pandemic.B.The sufficient supply of protective equipment.C.Environmental pressure brought by the pandemic.D.The great effects of overusing medical resources.33.How can the masks be recycled according to the text?A.By experimenting them in the research.B.By using chemicals to decompose them.C.By changing them into building materials.D.By burying them in the landfill properly34.Why does Terra Cycle offer Zero Waste BoxesA.To stop virus from spreading directlyB.To protect the workers against the virusC.To help the hospital with its waste problem.D.To collect household waste masks efficiently.35.What will be further talked about after the last paragraph?A.Advocating the less use of masks.B.Guarantee about constant waste mask supply.C.New advances in preventing the pandemic.D.Concerns about the management of the waste.第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项。
