Diets have changed in China — and so too has its top crop. Since 2011, the country 41
(grow)more corn than rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over 42 past 25
years, while rice has increased only 7 percent.
A taste for meat is 43 (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to
feed chickens, pigs, and cattle. Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to
grow corn instead of rice 44 (improve) water quality. Corn uses less water 45 rice and
creates less fertilizer(化肥) runoff. This switch has decreased 46 (pollute) in the country's major
lakes and reservoirs and made drinking water safer for people. According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total 47 (globe)
fertilizer consumption. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the
government 48 (start) a soil-testing program 49 gives specific fertilizer
recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million tons. That prevented the
emission(排放) of 51.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. China's approach to protecting its environment
while 50 (feed) its citizens \"offers useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers
worldwide.\" says the bank's Juergen Voegele.三、写作(满分 25 分)

Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle
in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New
York City, for example, is near a large harbor at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its
population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long
period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was
unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of
the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000. Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went
there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An
avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives. But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood
were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was

crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were

come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of
Dawson City — its present population is 762. 4. What attracted the early settlers to New York City?
A. Its business culture. B. Its small population. C. Its geographical position. D. Its favorable climate. 5. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?

While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such
as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese
architects are making great efforts to take the center stage. Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012
Pritzker Architecture Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on
February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award. Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office
is located at the Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many
buildings on the campus are his original creations. The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were
amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves( 曲 线 ) of the
buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills, forming a unique view. Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use
traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of
attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素). Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of
traditions. Through such a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize. Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. \"That is only evidence
that traditions once existed,\" he said. \"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things
from the past. In fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being
created, \" he said. \"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on
Chinese traditions. Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, \"
said Wang. The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions
would be artificial and empty, he said. 8. Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________. A. following the latest world trend B. getting international recognition
C. working harder than ever before D. relying on foreign architects
9. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?
A. Its hilly environment. B. Its large size. C. Its unique style. D. Its diverse functions. 10. What made Wang’s architectural design a success?
A. The mixture of different shapes. B. The balance of East and West. C. The use of popular techniques. D. The harmony of old and new. 11. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?
A. Spread them to the world. B. Preserve them at museums. C. Teach them in universities. D. Recreate them in practice. D

earlier than I did how to live more with less. I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it
worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little
girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects
that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund( 基 金 )(our
kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)
For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And
how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as
long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it
in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough
for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch. We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had
his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us. 12. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. The more, the better. B. Enough is enough. C. More money, more worries. D. Earn more and spend more. 13. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?
A. Saving up for her holiday B. Raising money for a poor girl
C. Adding the money to her fund D. Giving the money to a sick mother
14. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?
A. To try out an idea B. To show a parent’s love
C. To train his attention D. To help him start a hobby
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Take It or Leave It B. A Lesson from Kids
C. Live More with Less D. The Pleasure of Giving

Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate,
joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between. 16 We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at
weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time. “I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can’t imagine doing
anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful. 17 It’s great to watch them. For many of them, it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.” 18 “I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges. “They’re learning to do traditional
dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 19 ” So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says, “Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and
better. 20 I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I’m alive.” A. So why do we dance?
B. Dance in the U.S. is everywhere. C. If you like dancing outdoors, come to America. D. My older students say it makes them feel young. E. I keep practicing even when I’m extremely tired. F. Dancing seems to change their feeling completely. G. They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.二、语言知识运用(共两节,满分 45 分)

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in
Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never
certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the
ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to
put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the
basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording
of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also
encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and
headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner
called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest
looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH!
The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so. 4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?
A. Efforts made in vain. B. Getting injured in his work.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to
celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures. Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations. It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran
hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and
culture. "Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite," Moran tells National Public
Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. "What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start
to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s
actually digital."
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has
been lost. "The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same," says Moran. Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, "just to
kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music," says
Moran. "For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as
humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a
Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose
sight that the music has a wider context," says Moran, "so I want to continue those dialogues. Those
are the things I want to foster."
8. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A. To remember the birth of jazz. B. To protect cultural diversity. C. To encourage people to study music. D. To recognize the value of jazz. 9. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Jazz becoming more accessible. B. The production of jazz growing faster. C. Jazz being less popular with the young. D. The jazz audience becoming larger. 10. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A. It will disappear gradually. B. It remains black and white. C. It should keep up with the times. D. It changes every 50 years. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Exploring the Future of Jazz B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C. The Story of a Jazz Musician D. Celebrating the Jazz Day

A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas
where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment
with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5' 5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container — perhaps
just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened
on your belt. To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet

deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in
the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the
rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole. Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting
the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled
sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup. The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates(蒸发)
and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break
down the still every time you need a drink. 12. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A. It’s delicate. B. It’s expensive. C. It’s complex. D. It’s portable. 13. What does the underlined phrase "the water catcher" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The tube. B. The still. C. The hole. D. The cup. 14. What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place. C. Weight the sheet’s center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet. 15. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from . A. the plastic tube B. outside the hole
C. the open air D. beneath the sheet

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I
would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked
meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 16
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 17 We
slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the
bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad
case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning. I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 18
Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends
had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. 19 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer
complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a
refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. 20 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I
recommend that you find your way in style. A. This time there was no tent. B. Things are going to be improved. C. The trip they took me on was a rough one. D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however. E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping. F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping. G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.二、语言知识运用(共两节,满分 45 分)

sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went through this 21 process and found something

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community(医学界) 41 a method of fighting heart

we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 44

more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 46 (bad), the amount of fast food
that people eat goes up. Fast food 47 (be) full of fat and salt; by 48 (eat) more fast food
people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet. Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心)between meals and

I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy
and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film —
it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would
have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later
had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of
theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we
were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors:
humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying affection. Those
were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen. We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and
me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the
deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the
company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle — named the
Transition — has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The
Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on
the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon. Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on
sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this
week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected
to cost $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway. Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an
airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying
car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it
easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal
safety standards. Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago
to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger
planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be
able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet. 8. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The basic data of the Transition. B. The advantages of flying cars. C. The potential market for flying cars. D. The designers of the Transition. 9. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?
A. It causes traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate. C. It is very expensive. D. It burns too much fuel. 10. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?
A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving. 11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Flying Car at Auto Show
B. The Transition’s First Flight
C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True
D. Flying Car Closer to Reality

When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz
and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell
that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be
an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic
compounds, VOCs for short. Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way
of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react. Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They
pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once
they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch. In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is
usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they

heard the alarm and knew what to do. Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made
a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to \"overhear\" the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t
a true, intentional back and forth. Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的)
than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on. 12. What does a plant do when it is under attack?
A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants. C. It stands quietly. D. It sends out certain chemicals. 13. What does the author mean by \"the tables are turned\" in paragraph 3?
A. The attackers get attacked. B. The insects gather under the table. C. The plants get ready to fight back. D. The perfumes attract natural enemies. 14. Scientists find from their studies that plants can . A. predict natural disasters
B. protect themselves against insects
C. talk to one another intentionally
D. help their neighbors when necessary
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The world is changing faster than ever. B. People have stronger senses than before. C. The world is more complex than it seems. D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping
up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s
75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried
out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the
building’s end. The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the
movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say
good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed
appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down. Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He
added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. "This used to be the center of town," he
said. "Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses."
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a

museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping
complex on the land where the theater is located. The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the
Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed. 4. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf
population had grown to more than 170 wolves. Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental
United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had
practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of
Canada, where there were fewer humans around. The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations — major
food sources (来源) for the wolf — grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation
(植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew
quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the
park’s beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone
Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers
opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the
debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote
populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf
project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other
parts of the country as well. 8. What is the text mainly about?
A. Wildlife research in the United States. B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area. C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone
Park. 9. What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Tested. B. Separated. C. Forced out. D. Tracked down. 10. What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?
A. Damage to local ecology. B. A decline in the park’s income. C. Preservation of vegetation. D. An increase in the variety of animals. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring. D
The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile
laboratory named "DriveLAB" in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to
discover where the key stress points are. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being
among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older

country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and
about without having to rely on others."
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in
people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving
skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: "The DriveLAB is helping
us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use
technology to address these problems. " For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but
surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more
likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems
which control their speed as a way of preventing that. "We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older
drivers stay safer behind the wheel."
12. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?
A. To explore new means of transport. B. To design new types of cars. C. To find out older driver’s problems. D. To teach people traffic rules. 13. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?
A. It keeps them independent. B. It helps them save time. C. It builds up their strength. D. It cures their mental illnesses. 14. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?
A. Improve their driving skills. B. Develop driver-assist technologies. C. Provide tips on repairing their cars. D. Organize regular physical checkups. 15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A new Model Electric Car B. A Solution to Traffic Problems
C. Driving Services for Elders D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 16 Here’s how to make one.
● 17 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to
get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for
your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you
want to make. ● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your
morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before
by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 18 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you
bought a coffee maker with a timer. ● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on
Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness
the following week, a recent study found. 19
● Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 20 If not, take another
look at other methods you could try. A. Get a sleep specialist. B. Find the right motivation. C. A better plan for sleep can help. D. And consider setting a second alarm. E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up. F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day. G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.二、语言知识运用(共两节,满分 45 分)

Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never pleased move away. Even
when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely
refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Gaf finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move to a success, giving them a closer relationship than they
would have had in separate cities. No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children
and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s
mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for
her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents com. 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson ‘s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more
families will follow the example of Obama’s family. “In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough
to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for

I am peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I've done 89 trips of those , 51
have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞)in my little box because I've got two ice
packs and that's how long they last, in all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献
者 ) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most, So I am always
conscious of time. I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in
Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived
at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said:”Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad
news for you-there are no fights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I
said:”In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient-please, please, you’ve got to
get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small
plane to be held for me.re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than
originally scheduled. For this courier job, you’re consciously aware than that box you’ve got something that is
potentially going to save somebody’s life. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph1?

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be
empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable;
therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap( 间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural
groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.Many Native
Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some
traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking
第70页

68
and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has
been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection. Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among
people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and
Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be
rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view
silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority. Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come
across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own
personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or
allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this
understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures. 12. What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship. C. It is culture-specific D. It is content-based. 13. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians. 14. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases. B. Break it while treating patients. C. Evaluate its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects. 15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret
codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 16 Code breaking never lags(落后) far
behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 17 For example, the first letters of “My elephant
eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 18 You might represent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the letters of
the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 19 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might
stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 20 However, it is also
hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.二、语言知识运用(共两节,满分 45 分)

On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New
York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another
customer was approaching their table. "Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?"the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by
the stranger. "I’m from Mississippi too."
Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair. "They began telling me all the news of Mississippi," Welty said. "I didn’t know what my New
York friends were thinking."
Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it
was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back
downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their
Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚). "My friend said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’" Welty added. "And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’"
Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this
explanation. "I don’t make them up," she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years."I don’t

afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus.

If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one — take advantage of Apple Day to see

October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people
who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which
was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the
knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’ Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else. There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties
for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’ a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it. At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions,
and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games. Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens
and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National
Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent. 8. What can people do at the apple events?
A. Attend experts’ lectures. B. Visit fruit-loving families. C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D. Taste many kinds of apples. 9. What can we learn about Decio?
A. It is a new variety. B. It has a strange look. C. It is rarely seen now. D. It has a special taste. 10. What does the underlined phrase "a pipe dream" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. A practical idea. B. A vain hope. C. A brilliant plan. D. A selfish desire. 11. What is the author’ purpose in writing the text?
A. To show how to grow apples. B. To introduce an apple festival. C. To help people select apples. D. To promote apple research. D
Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are
the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being
spread and monitored( 监 控 ) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking
people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther
than disasters and sob stories. "The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media," says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of
Pennsylvania. "They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a
story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a
Debbie Downer."
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication — e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations — found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that

didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply
because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger
looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York
Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the "most e-mailed" list for six months. One of
his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than
non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this
positive feeling with others. Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings
like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one
way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it
was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, "Contagious: Why Things Catch On."
12. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?
A. News reports. B. Research papers. C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations. 13. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?
A. They’re socially inactive. B. They’re good at telling stories. C. They’re inconsiderate of others. D. They’re careful with their words. 14. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?
A. Sports news. B. Science articles. C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide. B. Online News Attracts More People. C. Reading Habits Change with the Times. D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks.第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)

Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 16 But it seems that many people don’t cook
fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as
much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 17 This
text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way. 18 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 19 When you have bought a fish and arrive
home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish
should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one. There are many common methods used to cook fish. 20 First, clean it and season it with
your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes
if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve. A. Do not buy it. B. The easiest is to steam it. C. This is how you can do it. D. It just requires a little knowledge. E. The fish will go bad within hours. F. When buying fish, you should first smell it. G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.二、语言知识运用(共两节,满分 45 分)

In much of Asia, especially the so-called "rice bowl" cultures of China, Japan, Korea, 41
Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might 42

metal 43 (create) special designs. The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years. People probably cooked their food in
large pots, 44 (use) twigs(树枝) to remove it. Over time, 45 the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly. Food in small pieces could
be eaten easily with twigs which 46 (gradual) turned into chopsticks. Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius, 47 lived from roughly 551 to

The pandemic (流行病)has left a lot of families in financial difficulty. Not only have many found it
difficult to pay bills, they’ve also had to deal with huge unpaid debts. Thankfully, one very kind-hearted
doctor, Omar Atiq, from Arkansas decided to forgive the $ 320,000 debt that his patients still had to pay. Dr. Omar Atiq closed his clinic in Pine Bluff after 30 years of offering patients radiation therapy
(治疗),and CAT scans. While putting his affairs in order,with the help of a debt collection agency, Dr. Atiq realized that his patients were really struggling to pay off their debts. “So my wife and I,as a
family,thought about it andlooked at forgiving all the debts. We saw that we could do it and then just
went ahead and did it.” The reasoning behind the decision comes from his understanding toward those he's seen suffer
throughout his years as a doctor: “Since I started practicing,I’ve always been rather uncomfortable
with sick patients not only having to worry about their own health, quality of life, their longevity,their
families and their jobs but also money. That’s always concerned me.” Atiq’s wife, Mehreen, shares his
caring nature and supported her husband in his decision. So Omar sent the following letter at Christmas to around 200 of his patients: Although various
health insurances pay most of the bills for the majority of patients,the deductibles (自负额) and
co-pays can be burdensome. Unfortunately, that is the way our health care system currently works. My
clinic has decided to forgive all the debts owed to the'clinic by its patients. Omar, the father of four children who are also doctors or becoming doctors, seems to have always
put the patients first. “I have never refused to see a patient,not for lack of health insurance or funds nor
for any other reason. Tve always considered it a high honor and privilege to be someone’s physician —

Experts from MIT have found means to incorporate (加入) electronic sensors into fabrics, which
can help to create shirts or other garments that could be used to monitor vital signs such as temperature
and heart rate. The sensor-embedded garments can be customized to fit close to the body of the person
wearing them. “We can have electronic parts or lab-made electronics embedded within the textiles that we wear
every day, creating comfortable garments,” says Dagdeviren, an professor at MIT. His group set out to
create garments more similar to the clothes we normally wear, using a fabric that has removable
electronic sensors in it. “In our case, the textile is not electrically functional. It’s just a passive element of our garment so
that you can wear the devices comfortably during your daily activities,” Dagdeviren says. “Our main
goal was to measure the physical activity of the body all from the same body part, without requiring any
fixture or any tape.”
The electronic sensors consist of long flexible strips. These channels have small openings that allow
the sensors to be exposed to the skin. For this study, the researchers designed a shirt with 30 temperature
sensors and an accelerometer( 加 速 度 计 ) that can measure the wearer’s movement, heart rate, and
breathing rate. The garment can then transmit this data wirelessly to a smartphone. This kind of sensing could be useful for personalized telemedicine, allowing doctors to remotely
monitor patients. “You don’t need to go to the doctor or do a video call,” Dagdeviren says. “Through
this kind of data collection, I think doctors can make better assessments and help their patients in a
better way.” Last summer, several of the researchers spent time at a factory in Shenzhen, China, to experiment
with mass-producing the material used for the garments. “From the outside it looks like a normal T-shirt, but from the inside, you can see the electronic parts which are touching your skin,” Dagdeviren says. 8. Why do MIT researchers make sensor-embedded garments?
A. To complete their academic tasks. B. To transform patents for benefits. C. To create garments with medical functions. D. To satisfy customers’ personal need for fashion. 9. What is the main function of the electronic sensors?
A. Monitoring wearers’ behavior. B. Making the skin fully exposed. C. Adjusting wearers’ body temperature. D. Collecting and transmitting health information. 10. What do we know about the sensor-embedded garments?
A. They will bring convenience to patients. B. They could be in mass-production soon. C. They might lead the new fashion. D. They may take the place of doctors. 11. What can we infer about wearing a sensor-embedded garment according to Dagdeviren?
A. It’s fashionable. B. It’s skin-friendly. C. It’s eco-friendly. D. It’s awkward. D
According to the statistics shared by UNESCO, at least 43% of the total languages that are
estimated as being spoken across the world are in danger of extinction. Moreover, many languages
around the world have less than 1, 000 speakers now. Linguists(语言学家)and researchers believe that
by the end of the century, at least half of the world’s languages will have died. This is troublesome,

given that cultural identity and languages go hand in hand. Language activists and people who speak these endangered languages are fighting back tooth and
nail. Scientists believe that digitalization might be our only hope to preserve some of these quickly
disappearing languages in the online world. For instance, Oxford University Press launched Oxford Global Languages a few years ago. It is an
initiative that boosts \"digitally underrepresented\" languages. They are focused on promoting languages
that might have close to a million speakers worldwide, yet have little or no online presence. Therefore, they have been creating digital dictionaries as a fundamental building block to help preserve them. There have been countless other projects like this with the same aim. Another is the Rosetta Project, which aims to create a handheld digital library that will carry more than 1,500 languages. It will be
appropriately sized to fit nicely into our hands, and will come with around 13,000 pages of information. It will also have a high life expectancy of anywhere between 2,000 and 10,000 years. Initiatives like
these have as their primary objective to ensure the preservation of local languages long after their
speakers have died. Countless languages are dying every day, and they will continue to perish as the remaining speakers
die. Of course, we cannot merely rely on digitization to deal with worldwide languages loss. However, it
is a step in the right direction. These digital tools offer endangered languages an opportunity to bounce
back and survive. 12. What does the data in paragraph 1 mainly show?
A. Many languages are endangered. B. Culture determines language evolution. C. Human development results in fewer languages. D. Many linguists attempt to protect threatened languages. 13. What does Oxford Global Languages try to do?
A. Promote online courses of local languages. B. Publish paper dictionaries of global languages. C. Increase dying language speakers to a million. D. Make certain languages available in digital form. 14. What can we learn about the digital library to be created by the Rosetta Project?
A. It is portable but has a short life.
B. It is sponsored by Oxford University Press. C. It provides protection for linguistic diversity. D. It contains automatically updated information. 15. Which of the following can replace the underlined word \"perish\" in the last paragraph?
A. Be enriched. B. Be lost. C. Be acquired. D. Be invented.第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)

How to Cut Back on Playing Video Games
As you get older and shoulder more responsibilities in your life, your gaming time might need to
adjust. Here’s what worked well for me. Start Tracking Your Gaming Time
One of the reasons why video games eat up so much time is that they’re so engaging. I can’t count
how many times I’ve sat down to play games for “a couple of minutes” then looked up to see hours have
gone by. Tracking your gaming time can help, says psychologist John M. Grohol. Prepare a spreadsheet or a
piece of paper, and write down when you start playing a game and when you stop. 16 I found it
helpful. Start Choose Games Wisely
17 . MMOs and RPGs, for example, are major time sinks. I would probably cry if I looked at
my total time spent during the golden age of World of War-craft. If you’re having a hard time stepping away from these kinds of games because there’s so much to
do in them, cut them out of your gaming diet. 18 . That way, you can play in short bursts. I still
indulge in these kinds of games occasionally, but I don’t play as much as I used to. Figure Out What You’re Escaping
Video games are a fun way to de-stress and also one of the most advanced forms of escapism out
there. To reduce my gaming thirst I started looking at my escapism habits from another angle. 19 . Video games do offer a nice respite from the harsh truths of reality. More often than not, I would be
able to identify the things that were stressing me out and making me want to escape to virtual worlds in
the first place. If work was getting me down, I’d make a practical plan on how to improve it instead of
grapping a controller. 20 . The real world doesn’t always offer that, but it never will if you always

run from the issues in your life. A. Why not get away from the game you are crazy about?
B. Shift your focus to games that are more pick-up-and-play. C. Then add up your total gaming time at end of each week. D. We find it hard to get rid ourselves of the addiction to games
E. I asked myself “What am I hiding from?” and worked from there
F. Some games require a much bigger time investment than other games
G. We often run to video games because they make us feel powerful and in control

Children under the age of 18 will be allowed up to three hours per week to play video games, according to a notice 41 (issue) by China’s National Press and Publication Administration. Online

The recent 43 (propose) to limit the playing of video games among the under 18s is the type
of socially responsible policy needed in an era 44 all of us have the potential to
over-immerse 45 (we) in our screens and digital content. Real-name registration and logins will be 46 (strict) implemented, said the notice, adding
that companies cannot offer games to users who fail the identification process. China 47 (tighten)
controls on online games for minors in recent years. In 2019, the country cut time limitations to 1.5
hours per day and three hours on weekends and holiday. Undoubtedly, excessive gaming is purely a waste of time and energy for minors and has a negative
effect on both physical and mental health, but if children are taught how to manage 48 a sensible
and responsible manner then it is no longer a threat. To achieve this, parents need to set examples for

This year we had kids and caregivers in mind. So here are some favorite books for kids picked by
readers and expert judges to while away the hours at home. The Snowy Day -by Ezra Jack Keats
One morning, a little boy in Brooklyn wakes up to a changed world - shining with fresh snowfall. Young Peter is black. Author and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats was white,but his sensitive description of a
child's first experience with snow won the Caldecott Medal and was embraced by parents and children
of all colors. (For ages 0 to 2)
Dreamers -by Yuyi Morales
Yuyi Morales was born in Mexico and came to America with her baby boy in 1999. She builds that

This year, several young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving us a
glimpse of their generation’s nature. Obviously, the young generation is filled with “brave warriors” who want to challenge
impossibilities and push boundaries. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished
strong in the first two jumps in the women’s free-ski Big Air event, it was certain that she could get a
medal. But instead of taking heed of it, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to attempt a difficult trick: a left double cork 1620—four and a half rotations in the
air—before landing. “I have never done the ‘left 16’ before. I hadn’t prepared much for it apart from two
days on the air bag,” Gu told China Daily, “but I felt it was a chance.” But for these young athletes, the sport is never just about scores, but also about having as much fun
as possible. Born in the US, Gu faced criticism and doubts for representing China in the Beijing Winter

Olympics. When questioned by The Guardian, the girl said bluntly she wasn’t trying to make everyone
happy. “I’m an 18-year-old girl out here living my best life. I’m having a great time.” Gu said. “It
doesn’t really matter if other people are happy or not, because I feel I’ m doing my best and I’m
enjoying the entire process.” Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as
a way to have fun. After he was judged to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men’s
slopestyle final, the 17-year-old didn’t feel upset. Instead, he was happy to have the chance to compete
with his idol. “When I was on the podium hugging Max Parrot, it felt unreal,” Su told China Daily. “All I did
today was enjoy the runs and concentrate on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard I am happy.” 4.The phrase “taking heed of it” underlined in paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______. A.playing it safe B.taking a risk
C.avoiding mistakes D.taking part in it
5.What can we know about Gu Ailing according to the text?
A.She didn’t perform well. B.She is a post-00. C.She was an American. D.She isn’t easy-going
6.Who got the gold medal in the men’s slopestyle final?

With rounds of pioneering space flights that could set the stage for future space tourism, it is worth
looking at what might be involved for the human exploration of Mars, though it's likely decades away. Technological challenges aside, as we continue to expand our exploration of Mars, there is a question:
What might be the lessons of past voyages of discovery that we should think about?
Human exploration has led to many extraordinary new discoveries, but it has also led to the
exploitation of resources. Not long after early European settlers arrived at America, they declared their
independence and created the constitution by which modern American society functions. However, this
did not prevent the settlers from referring to native people as savages and taking away their rights to
liberty, happiness, and even survival. Native Americans were quickly killed by wars and new diseases as
the new settlers expanded their land. The natural environment, with which they had established a
harmonious relationship, was similarly destroyed by the settlement. Mars certainly has an impossible environment for human life, but on Mars, humans will be the
invasive species. Will our landing on mars break the ecosystem on Mars? It is possible that Mars has
ideal minerals for future development. But apart from technology challenges, will the mining have a
disastrous environment impact on this red neighbour as it has already had on Earth?
The achievements of space exploration are certainly to be applauded. The contributions of the
related researches on chemistry, medicine and many others are potentially limitless. However, as we
look to exploring worlds beyond our own, we need to begin now to look at history to consider how best
to engage with different life forms, cultures and environments. We may be capable of writing a law, but
we first need to clear our potential invasive impact on another planet that may be completely
defenseless. 8.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Modern American society. B.The creation of constitution. C.The settlement of Europeans. D.The exploitation of resources. 9.What's the author’s concern about the exploration of Mars?
A.Humans cannot survive on Mars. B.Humans may bring new diseases to Mars. C.The exploration may destroy Mars' ecosystem. D.Technology challenges will make mining on Mars hard. 10.What's the author’s suggestion for future space exploring?
A.Making relevant laws properly. B.Conducting more scientific researches. C.Predicting its impacts on other planets.

Chinese researchers say they believe a group of rockets could be used to change the path of
asteroids that might pass near Earth. A team at China’s National Space Science Center carried out simulations(模拟) on the proposed
asteroid defense system. The scientists said their research suggests 23 rockets of China’s biggest kind of
rockets could force a large asteroid to change direction. Most experts agree that there is only a small
likelihood that a large asteroid or another space object will crash into Earth and cause great destruction. However, many organizations do recognize the real risk of such an event. The Chinese research was based on defending against a specific asteroid, Bennu, which orbits the
sun. Bennu is about a half-kilometer wide. It is considered a near-Earth asteroid. Bennu reaches its
closest distance to Earth every six years. The researchers recently reported on their proposal in a study in
a planetary science magazine called “Icarus”. China’s Long March 5 rockets are a central part of the country’s space program. They have been
used to launch space station elements and carry spacecraft to the Moon and Mars. China has
successfully launched six Long March 5 rockets, since 2016. Alan Green is a professor of astrophysics. He said he finds the idea of using rockets to act as an
asteroid deflector (偏转器) “a rather nice concept”. Green continued, “By increasing the mass hitting the
asteroid, simple physics should ensure a much greater effect.” He added, however, that the actual
operation of such a mission needs to be studied further. Scientists say deflecting an asteroid’s path
presents a lower risk than blowing up the rock with nuclear explosives, which may cause it to break into
pieces without changing direction. 12.Who favors the opinion that Earth may be hit by asteroids?
A.Most space experts. B.Many organizations. C.Most astrophysicists. D.Chinese researchers.
13.What do we know about “Icarus”?
A.A space object. B.A large asteroid. C.A science publication. D.An asteroid deflector. 14.How does Alan Green find the Chinese researchers’simulations?
A.Reasonable. B.Unbelievable. C.Suspicious. D.Practical. 15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Deflecting an asteroid’s path with rockets is risky. B.Nuclear explosion can fully redirect an asteroid. C.Small pieces of asteroid can hardly damage the earth. D.Rockets will someway affect an asteroid’s travel path.第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)

What are “soft skills”? You may ask. “Soft skills” is the term used for those skills that are not
technical or job—related. 16 These skills characterize your relationships with other people, or
how you approach life and work. In the workplace, soft skills are considered to be a complement to hard
skills, which refer to a person’s knowledge and occupational skills. 17 Imagine you are working in a company producing something, let’s say light bulbs. You
come up with a new technology. Your light bulbs are suddenly much better than others and your profits
go up. But, after a while, your competitors get hold of the technology. Suddenly, the light bulbs are all
the same again and your profits are decreasing. At this time, you still need the new technology. 18
Hard skills are like your technology: anyone can acquire them through formal education, training
programs, and concentrated effort, and they are necessary. Without them you will not be able to operate
in the workplace. Soft skills are your unique selling point. 19 Plus, soft sills are regarded as the
ability to recognize and manage your own and others’ emotions. However, in reality, they go beyond that, and into the wider areas of how you organize yourself and how you approach life. It has been suggested
that a number of professions soft skills may be more important than career skills over the long term. Like hard skills, soft skills require a lot of practice to make you really skilled at using them. 20

To prevent kids from getting bored and to keep them in the spirit of learning, parents can use the
summer holidays for fun learning. Here are some ideas for you. Bedtime Reading
Learning doesn't have to be formal. In fact, some of the best learning opportunities are the simplest. Bedtime reading brings you closer together and gives you the opportunity to have positive discussions
about difficult topics like racism, loss, self-esteem, and more. It's never too early to start having these
kinds of conversations. Movies Can Introduce New Concepts
Watching movies can be a great learning opportunity. Selecting educational movies that introduce
new concepts is a great way to engage kids in learning. Screen time shouldn't be the main form of entertainment for young children, but it definitely has its
place. There are lots of great family-friendly films your kids can learn from. Sports +Spelling Activities
Summer is the perfect time to get outside and move. Exercise is important for both 'physical and
mental health, and practicing sports can help kids build skills and become more confident. But have you
ever considered pairing summer sports with other types of learning?
Linking physical movement with tasks like memorization and spelling can be great practice and can
help kids learn. Some children are kinetic learners. Multisensory learning opportunities, like spelling
while shooting hoops on the basketball court, can be a fun and creative way to build knowledge and
skills and are great for students with developmental or learning disabilities.
1.For whom is this passage intended?
A.Teachers. B.Young kids. C.Disabled people. D.Parents. 2.What benefits do kids get from Bedtime Reading?

During school life, Muhammad Tariq Khan developed an interest in playing badminton. Unfortunately, the school did not have a coach, so he had to self-learn the sport. His dedication helped
him become an under 12 Pakistan Champion at the age of 10. Coming from a working-class family, Khan had to work in a factory to earn money for his family. But driven by his passion, Khan found out ways to watch other players play matches on the badminton
court and he learned various techniques used by experienced players. Meanwhile, Khan practiced
badminton by hitting the shuttlecock (羽毛球) against the walls of his home. Seeing his passion for the
sport, his family bought him a net, a few wooden rackets, and a pack of shuttles to practice at home. Later, Khan often practiced in an open court. To maintain strength, he went on daily morning sprints (短
跑) by the riverside to be fit. His intense practice sessions had made him so skilled that he courageously attacked and played
against the top-ranked players. Soon he became a known player. Although he had a supportive family, he
could not take up badminton as a full-time career. In order to help his father with finances and shoulder
responsibility for his brothers and sisters, he had to switch his focus to build a long-lasting and stable
career to sustain his family. After completing his degree in Bachelor of Commerce from Sindh
University in 1964, he joined the Pakistan International Airlines in 1967. As an adult, he acknowledged

the importance of his duties and performed them with great enthusiasm. Despite his daily office routine, Khan did not leave his passion for sports and played regularly. The journey of Khan’s achieving his goals is indeed challenging. His family had spent their initial
days in a refugee (难民) camp. Khan ever walked long distances from college to his house to avoid
using public transport to save cash to buy shuttlecocks. Today he has been recognized by many reputable Pakistani platforms for his contribution to

Around the world, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals are enlisting (入伍) to fight the
new coronavirus. Where there is a need, these courageous individuals are stepping up to the plate and
offering their expertise even though they have been retired. In fact, on a single day in March, hundreds of retired doctors and nurses joined New York City’s
Medical Reserve Corps, a program of the City’s Department of Health, after the city’s Mayor (市长) Bill
De Blasio asked for help. According to ABC News, at least 82, 000 people have thus enlisted in New
York State’s medical reserve force, bringing together a wide range of health care workers to fight
COVID-19. “Whatever it is that they need. I’m willing to do,” said Jerry Kops, a retired New York nurse and
musician in the world-famous Blue Man Group, whose tour got cancelled due to the outbreak. She
explained, “I knew that all of my old co-workers were on the front line, so I felt I should sign up too.”
Jane Bedell, a retired primary care doctor from the Bronx, also signed up after De Blasio’s request
for help. Although she celebrated retirement a little over a month ago, she felt it was her duty and
privilege to get involved. “I’ve always wanted to make sure that I’m part of the solution and not part of
the problem.” She told the New York Times. Chuck Wright, a physician refused to let anything stop him from volunteering. After he retired a
year and a half ago, he immediately started volunteering with medical organizations, and was among the
responders who took care of California’s firefighters during the 2019 wildfires. He’s been deployed (调
遣) twice to assist COVID-19 efforts, and was in charge of turning a Holiday Inn into a medical center. But New York is not alone, other states, such as California, Massachusetts, Washington, and New
Jersey have also put out similar calls for help. 8.What did Bill De Blasio request people to do?
A.Donate money for the New York City. B.Offer some support to Blue Man Group. C.Replace the City’s Department of Health. D.Join New York’s medical reserve force. 9.Why did Jerry Kops decide to be a volunteer?
A.She performed much better on the front line. B.She was motivated by her former colleagues. C.She wanted to make her music group famous. D.She found it a way to celebrate her retirement.

Alexander Tsao, a keen rock climber for several years, was climbing the walls at a gym near his
home in Redmond, Washington, when he noticed that the ropes were frequently being replaced with new
ones. Just 16 at the time, Tsao wondered what happened to the old ropes. He asked the gym owners and
found out the ropes had to be discarded regularly due to safety regulations. He was surprised to find that
so many ropes were sent to landfills. This discovery inspired him to find a solution to the environmental issue of climbing rope waste. He
considered possible ideas and ways to up cycle the discarded ropes, deciding to turn them into leashes
(拴狗带) for dogs.

Once he had made his plan, Tsao contacted all the climbing gyms in Washington State, introducing
his idea of recycling old ropes. Some were doubtful at first, but many gyms agreed to donate their used
ropes. Tsao spent months testing and designing his products and filling documents to become a nonprofit
organization which he called Rocks2Dogs. To make the leashes, Tsao and volunteers first wash and dry the ropes. They cut them into different
lengths, ranging from4 to 10 feet, and then burn the ends to prevent them from fraying (磨损). They add
a clip and handle to each end, and cover the leash’s hardware with shrink tape. Because making the leashes now is a full-time job, Tsao has asked his friends, family and neighbors
for help. “We have made and sold over a thousand leashes, which add up to over 10,000 feet of rope
being saved from landfills,” says Tsao. The leashes come in various colors. There are also half-price
leashes made from ropes with slight imperfections. These start at $7.49 while most other leashes start at
$ 14.99. To date, the nonprofit has raised more than $ 35,000. Much of this money has been donated to
animal shelters. 4.What did Tsao discover?
A.Rock climbing might do harm to health. B.The gym didn’t obey safety regulations. C.Many old climbing ropes went to waste. D.Landfills caused damage to the environment. 5.What was Tsao’s plan?
A.To call on climbing gyms to donate ropes. B.To transform retired ropes into dog leashes. C.To upcycle old leashes saved from landfills. D.To set up an environmental organization. 6.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.Efforts to promote the ropes. B.Reasons for starting Rocks2Dogs. C.Ways to reuse discarded waste. D.Steps for making the leashes. 7.What is the last paragraph intended to tell us?
A.Tsao succeeds in the leash business.
B.Animal protection gain’s more attention. C.More people volunteered to help Tsao. D.Leashes are very popular with pet owners. C
When you re grocery shopping, have you ever noticed that most grocery stores often don’t have
windows and if they do they’re only at the front of the store? You might not pay much attention to the
architectural features of the building you re grocery shopping in—you’re there to shop for food, not
admire the layout! But that’s not just it! “Grocery stores want to create a separate environment within the stores, where the outside world
doesn’t exist,” explains Andrei Vasilescu, a shopping expert who has studied shopping behaviors and
psychology. “You don’t get bothered by the rain, sunshine, or the fact that your kids are waiting in the
parking lot. All your focus is on the shopping experience.” This technique also prevents shoppers from
noticing that it’s getting dark out. “Walls instead of windows can keep daylight out of grocery stores and help preserve the products, as some products can go bad faster in direct sunlight. Too much sun exposure can even cause packaging
labels to fade. Furthermore, having windows in their stores would decrease the space available to
showcase products,” says Margine Biswas, an architect with expertise in retail ( 零 售 ) design. “Compared to windows, exterior (外部的) walls have stronger structural supports and can hold the
heavier items on the shelves of those walls.” Are some grocery stores going against this trend? In Germany, a study was conducted to test out
stores with more natural light. A few stores had some bread products going bad rapidly due to the
sunlight. They needed to replace the glass with specially designed panes (窗格) that help reduce the heat
and radiation. This technique hasn’t caught on widely yet. A National Rewable Energy laboratory study
in 2002 assessed the effects of natural light on shoppers—and it found that shoppers felt vastly more
comfortable when there was more natural light around. They were also better able to identify both
products and other people in the stores. It’s worth noting; though, that this study assessed natural light in
all retail spaces, not just grocery stores. The challenges of adding more natural light to grocery stores
remain. 8.How does a grocery store without windows influence its shoppers?
A.It keeps them absorbed in shopping.

B.It helps to strengthen family bonds. C.It prevents them from shopping relaxedly. D.It misleads them to buy unnecessary goods. 9.“What do Margine Biswas’s words mainly suggest about grocery stores?
A.Retail design is not complex. B.Natural light is available. C.Windows still have their value. D.Windows barely benefit them. 10.What is the author’s opinion on adding more natural light to grocery stores?
A.It can be carried out widely. B.Shoppers will be discouraged by it. C.It proves less challenging. D.The stores should be cautious. 11.What is the text mainly about?
A.Potential effects of natural light on grocery stores. B.Reasons why most grocery stores have no windows. C.Some tricks applied by a majority of grocery stores. D.How consumers can better enjoy grocery shopping. D
City parks have long been a place for urban residents to get a small amount of green. As cities
increasingly feel the impacts of rising seas and temperatures, people are rethinking the roles of urban
parks. All of the dark-gray asphalt ( 沥 青 ) in cities collect heat. Dallas is one of the country’s
fastest-warming cities thanks in part to its extensive impervious (不透水的) surfaces, but with a new
$312 million bond package, the city is hoping to change that. Using satellite data, the city is able to see
what neighborhoods most need the cooling effect of green spaces. Cities are increasingly flooding and city planners think parks can help with this issue too. A report
published in February by The Nature Conservancy looked at the best ways to deal with flooding in
Houston, a city with many neighborhoods built on floodplains and regularly flooded by rising waters. Offering affected homeowners buyouts and transforming homes into green spaces would save more
money than installing infrastructure (基础设施) like pipes, they found. Brendan Shane, a climate program director, says parks can create opportunities for people to
exercise and play, in addition to cooling neighborhoods and absorbing floodwater. “The stronger the
bonds are from neighbor to neighbor, the better they are able to react to a shock,” he says.
“Not a single solution by itself will avoid the climate crisis. We see parks as an important part of it, but there isn’t a silver bullet,” says Diane Regas, CEO of The Trust for Public Land. “Parks are an
example of what we in the environmental community need to do to reach solutions that address climate
change at the same time and make people’s lives better.” 12.What does the city Dallas want to deal with?
A.The lack of green spaces. B.The way of collecting heat. C.The effect of rising seas. D.The bond between neighborhoods. 13.What can be inferred from the report by The Nature Conservancy?
A.Cities in the world are frequently flooded. B.City parks may help prevent city flooding. C.Cities needn’t invest much money in infrastructure. D.City parks affect people’s choice of a neighborhood. 14.What does Brendan Shane say about parks?
A.They can enable people to get over a shock. B.They can reduce air pollution effectively. C.They can perform positive social functions. D.They can help people to keep a cool head. 15.What does the underlined phrase “a sliver bullet” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.A fast and effective solution. B.A successful example. C.An immediate and clear cause. D.An impractical method.第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)

Four Tips to Discover Your True Passion
True passion is the emotion, feeling, and desire that arises out of love for something. It’s the force
that magnifies (放大) your capabilities for the benefit of excellent performance. This is because it’s a
powerful motivation for best performance and everyone wants to get there. 16 Finding what
you’re passionate about is a long road that requires effort and the following are some useful tips. Search your childhood. The purity and truth of your being are in the early stages of life. To that end, going back to the
things you loved back then is always an excellent indication of marked preferences. Did you want to be

92
a doctor? 17 These are all clues that begin to point the way. While it’s true that children have
several preferences in their early stages, it’s actually quite easy to figure out which they prioritize (优先
考虑). Experiment and discover. Doing the same activities day after day closes any probabilities to succeed in finding your true
passion. 18 This creates a trial-and-error scenario (设想) that promotes a positive outcome in
less time. Focus to find your true passion. You must forget about the myth that doing what you’re passionate about will be easy and pleasant. This is because there’ll always be inconveniences in any activity you undertake. Beyond that, don’t lose
focus on the fact that these are temporary moments. 19
Remember that your age doesn’t matter. 20 Encouraging yourself to take the first step can be difficult due to some of society’s
obsolete (被淘汰的) barriers. The truth is that you must allow yourself to achieve and show your tastes
leaving aside any obstacles, especially those that are self-imposed (自己强加的). It’s never too late!
A.Were you interested in insects?
B.Take a variety of courses each month. C.Do you know the meaning of passion?
D.Age isn’t necessary to find out your true passion. E.Be calm while finding out your motivation. F.It’s vital to figure out what you’re passionate about. G.Understanding this will make it easier to keep motivated.二、语言知识运用(共两节,满分 45 分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
To prevent kids from getting bored and to keep them in the spirit of learning, parents can use the
summer holidays for fun learning. Here are some ideas for you. Bedtime Reading
Learning doesn't have to be formal. In fact, some of the best learning opportunities are the simplest. Bedtime reading brings you closer together and gives you the opportunity to have positive discussions
about difficult topics like racism, loss, self-esteem, and more. It's never too early to start having these
kinds of conversations. Movies Can Introduce New Concepts
Watching movies can be a great learning opportunity. Selecting educational movies that introduce
new concepts is a great way to engage kids in learning. Screen time shouldn't be the main form of entertainment for young children, but it definitely has its
place. There are lots of great family-friendly films your kids can learn from. Sports +Spelling Activities
Summer is the perfect time to get outside and move. Exercise is important for both 'physical and
mental health, and practicing sports can help kids build skills and become more confident. But have you
ever considered pairing summer sports with other types of learning?
Linking physical movement with tasks like memorization and spelling can be great practice and can
help kids learn. Some children are kinetic learners. Multisensory learning opportunities, like spelling
while shooting hoops on the basketball court, can be a fun and creative way to build knowledge and
skills and are great for students with developmental or learning disabilities.
1.For whom is this passage intended?
A.Teachers. B.Young kids. C.Disabled people. D.Parents. 2.What benefits do kids get from Bedtime Reading?
A.They learn to be friendly. B.They learn to be talkative. C.They become rich in thinking. D.They become kind-hearted. 3.What can we say about kinetic learners?
A.They learn best while doing sports. B.They do sports well while learning. C.They prefer doing sports to learning. D.They were born with learning disabilities. B

When kids melt down in the middle of a crowded store or at a holiday dinner with extended family, it can be extremely frustrating. But parents can help kids learn self-control and teach them how to
respond without just acting on impulse (冲动). Teaching self-control is one of the most important things that parents can do for their kids because
these skills are some of the most important for success later in life. By learning self-control, kids can
make appropriate decisions and respond to stressful situations in ways that can yield positive outcomes. For example, if you say that you’re not serving ice cream until after dinner, your child may cry, plead, or
even scream in the hopes that you will give in. But with self-control, your child can understand that a
temper tantrum (发牌气) means you’ll take away the ice cream for good and that it’s wiser to wait
patiently. Difficult as it may be, resist the urge to yell when you’re disciplining your kids. Instead, be
persistent and matter of fact. During a child’s meltdown, stay calm and explain that yelling, throwing a
tantrum, and slamming doors are unacceptable behaviors that have consequences. Your actions will
show that tantrums won’t get kids the upper hand. For example, if your child gets, upset in the grocery
store after you’ve explained why you won’t buy candy, don’t give in – thus demonstrating that the
tantrum was both unacceptable and ineffective. Also, consider speaking to your child’s teachers about
classroom settings and appropriate behavior expectations. Ask if problem-solving is taught or
demonstrated in school. And model good self-control yourself. If you’re in an annoyed situation in front of your kids, tell
them why you’re frustrated and then discuss potential solutions to the problem. For example, if you’ve
misplaced your keys, instead of getting upset, tell your kids the keys are missing and then search for
them together. If they don’t turn up, take the next constructive step. Show that good emotional control
and problem solving are the ways to deal with a difficult situation. 8.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A.Impulsive responses lead to frustration. B.Kids’ melting down is a common phenomenon. C.Parents should help kids make decisions appropriately. D.Teaching kids self-control is a must for their future success. 9.What is the parents’ best attitude towards a child’s meltdown?
A.Firm and factual. B.Calm and tolerant. C.Cautious and objective. D.Annoyed and disapproving. 10.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in paragraph 3?
A.Emotional outburst is unexpected behaviors. B.Kids shouldn’t be responsible for their behaviors alone. C.Temper loss won’t give the kids a position of advantage. D.Tantrums are ineffective in interpersonal communications. 11.What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?
A.Slow and steady wins the race. B.Good example is the best sermon.

Researchers say a new electrical device placed in three paralyzed patients has helped them walk
again. The lower bodies of the three patients were left paralyzed after they suffered spinal (脊柱的) cord
injuries. But a device implanted in the spinal cord was able to send electrical signals to the muscles to
permit them to stand, walk and exercise. Scientists have discovered that neurons—which receive and send signals for muscle
movements—often still work in injured patients with serious spinal cord injuries. However, past
research into spinal cord injuries has centered on the stimulation of neurons. Now in the latest
experiment led by Gregoire Courtine and Jocelyne Bloch of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in
Lausanne, three paralyzed men were implanted a new electrical device designed to copy an action of the
brain, in which it sends signals to the spinal cord that result in muscle movement. When the spinal cord
receives the brain signals, it stimulates a collection of nerve cells that can activate different muscles. The researchers reported that all three patients who got the spinal cord implants were able to take
their first steps within an hour after receiving them. Over the next six months, the patients regained the
ability to take part in more advanced walking activities, the study found. They were also able to ride
bicycles and swim in community settings. Unlike other attempts to help paralyzed patients walk by stimulating nerves through the back of the
spine, Courtine said that his team redesigned the devices so signals would enter the spine from the sides. This method permits more direct targeting and activation of spinal cord areas, he said. The team then developed artificial intelligence (AI) systems linked to the device. The AI controls
electrodes on the device to send signals to stimulate individual nerves that control muscles needed for
walking and other activities. However, because the patients’ muscles were weak from not being used, they needed help with supporting their weight, the researchers said. It also took some time for them to
learn to work with the technology. Still, Bloch said, “The more they train, the more they start lifting their
muscles, the more fluid it becomes.” 12.What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A.Courtine and Bloch have found that neurons in paralyzed patients still work. B.The new electrical device can imitate the brain to send signals to the spinal cord.
C.Three paralyzed men recovered with the help of a new electrical device. D.Stimulating the neurons is the focus of the latest research into spinal cord injuries. 13.How does the new device stimulate the spinal cord areas more directly?
A.By stimulating nerves through the back of the spine. B.By using the AI system. C.By making signals enter the spine from the sides. D.By sending the signals to the brain. 14.Which can best describe Bloch’s idea in the last paragraph?
A.Every garden has its weeds. B.Put the cart (运货马车) before the horse. C.It's hard to please all. D.Practice makes perfect. 15.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To report the consequence of spinal cord injuries. B.To introduce the findings of a recent research. C.To compare a recent research with other previous researches. D.To recommend a treatment for paralyzed patients.第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
