Turning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight, according to scientists. The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories. It also triggers (引發(fā)) a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad.
An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.
Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.
In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice-cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed, while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.
On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers. They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see.
“The experienced pleasure of eating was significantly lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite. Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience.”
Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste. While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses, in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.
24. With the lights out, diners eat less partly because_____________.
A. they want to quickly finish their meals
B. they trust their feelings more than ever
C. they focus more on fun than the calories
D. they worry about the quality of the food
25. We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group _____________.
A. spent a much longer time eating the same food
B. believed they ate more than they really did
C. depended on past experiences to feel full
D. thought the food tasted better than usual
26. The last two paragraphs tell us that_____________.
A. diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darkness
B. senses rather than sight play an important role in the taste
C. findings of this experiment differ from the previous studies
D. restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark
27. The main purpose of the passage is to _______________.
A. provide statistics related to eating in the dark
B. offer reasons for people to eat in the dark areas
C. inform the readers of the result of an experiment
D. persuade the readers to lose weight in a new way
C
Humans and many other mammals have unusually efficient internal temperature regulating systems that automatically maintain stable core body temperatures in cold winters and warm summers. In addition, people have developed cultural patterns and technologies that help them adjust to extremes of temperature and humidity (濕度).
In very cold climates, there is a constant danger of developing hypothermia (低體溫), which is a life-threatening drop in core body temperature to below normal levels. The normal temperature for humans is about 37.0°C. However, differences in persons and even the time of day can cause it to be as much as 6°C higher or lower in healthy individuals. It is also normal for core body temperature to be lower in elderly people. Hypothermia begins to occur when the core body temperature drops to 34.4°C. Below 29.4°C, the body cools more rapidly because its natural temperature regulating system usually fails. The rapid decline in core body temperature is likely to result in death. However, there have been rare cases in which people have been saved after their temperatures had dropped to 13.9-15.6°C. This happened in 1999 to a Swedish woman who was trapped under an ice sheet in freezing water for 80 minutes. She was found unconscious, not breathing, and her heart had stopped beating, yet she was eventually saved despite the fact that her temperature had dropped to 13.7°C.
In extremely hot climates or as a result of uncontrollable infections, core body temperatures can rise to equally dangerous levels. This is hyperthermia. Life-threatening hyperthermia typically starts in humans when their temperatures rise to 40.6-41.7°C. Only a few days at this extraordinarily high temperature level is likely to result in the worsening of internal organs and death.
28. Why can humans keep stable body temperatures in different seasons?
A. Because their bodies are unusually efficient.
B. Because they experience different climates.
C. Because they can adjust to cultural patterns and technologies.
D. Because they have internal temperature regulating systems.
29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly discuss?
A. The dangerous effects of hypothermia. B. The change of body temperature.
C. The survival of the Swedish woman. D. The regulating systems of natural temperature.
30. People are unlikely to survive under the body temperature.
A. higher than 34.4°C B. lower than 29.4°C
C. between 40.6-41.7°C D. between 34.4-37°C
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Surviving in an ice trap B. Getting to know hypothermia
C. Adapting to climate extremes D. Changing core body temperature
D
No one likes to make mistakes. But a new study says organizations learn more from their failures than from their successes, and keep that knowledge longer.
One of the researchers was Vinit Desai, an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Denver Business School. He worked with Peter Madsen from the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University in Utah.
They did not find much long-term "organizational learning" from success. It is possible, they say. But Professor Desai says they found that knowledge gained from failure lasts for years. He says organizations should treat failures as a learning opportunity and not try to ignore them.
The study looked at companies and organizations that launch satellites and other space vehicles. Professor Desai compared two shuttle flights. In two thousand two, a piece of insulating (隔熱的) material broke off during launch and damaged a rocket on the Atlantis. Still the flight was considered a success. Then in early two thousand three, a piece of insulation struck the Columbia during launch. This time, the shuttle broke apart on re-entry and the seven crew members died. NASA officials suspended all flights and an investigation led to suggested changes.
Professor Desai says the search for solutions after a failure can make leaders more open-minded. He points to air-lines as an example of an industry that has learned from failures in the past. He advises organizations to look for useful information in small failures and failures they avoided. He also urges leaders to encourage the open sharing of information. The study appeared in the Academy of management Journal.
The mistakes we learn from do not have to be our own. We recently asked people on our Facebook page to tell us a time they had done something really silly. Fabricio Cmino wrote: Not long ago I wanted to watch TV, but it wouldn't turn on, so I did everything I could to start it. Thirty minutes later my mum showed up and, passing by, said to me "Did you try plugging it?" "I'm just dusting, Mum!" So she wouldn’t notice how dumb I am sometimes!
Bruno Kanieski da Silva told about a time he looked everywhere for his key. It was in his pocket. He wrote: I always promise I will never do it again, but after a few weeks, where is my wallet? For sure it will be in a very logical place.
32. What we get from failure differs from that from success in that_____________.
A. what we learn from failure is more powerful
B. what we learn from success does no good to us
C. the knowledge gained from failure is important
D. the knowledge gained from failure lasts longer
33. From the passage, we can infer that___________.
A. the insulating material problem in 2002 didn't arouse enough attention
B. there were no astronauts on Columbia
C. in spite of the problem, Atlantis was considered a success
D. Columbia exploded during its launch time
34. The writer gives the last two paragraphs to show that___________.
A. many people make mistakes in the world
B. mistakes were a very embarrassing thing when found by others
C. we can also draw a lesson from others’ mistakes
D. making mistakes was a necessity
35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Only organizations can learn from mistakes.
B. Failure may result from faults that have been ignored.
C. Lessons from the shuttle flights are more important.
D. Leaders often lack an open mind and seldom share information.

On December 22, 2016 I landed in the land of the “American Dream.” 36 Here is one of the things I’ve struggled with during my almost one year in the States.
37 My uncle and aunt joked that I brought rain from Saigon to America. Saigon, where I come from, is the old name of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Vietnam is a tropical country where it rains most of the year. Before going to the U.S., actually, I had no idea what to expect about its weather, but the big rain on my arrival gave me the first expectation of what the weather here might be like.
California is known for having a great climate — more sunshine, cooler in summer and warmer in winter. 38 However, having been here for a pretty long while now, I have experienced various forms of climate in California.
39 Most of the time I was living in Silicon Valley, where the weather is a bit colder than where I study in Orange County. But I was really surprised to find chill-to-the-bone weather in San Francisco — a big shift from Silicon Valley in only about an hour’s drive. How strange!
40 The worst is that I get a runny nose whenever I wake up in the morning. Because I am allergic to the cold and windy weathers, I keep sneezing badly, and even more badly if I get caught in the cold. I think that my body needs more time to get used to this climate, but as many people said, I am luckier to be in California where I don’t have to fight with extreme weathers as in other states.
A. I am sensitive to weather change.
B. Such strange weather has affected my health.
C. So the amount of rain this year is considered unusual.
D. LAX airport in California welcomed me with a big rain.
E. So I quickly get used to the unchangeable climate in California.
F. The weather varies widely depending on where you are in the state.
G. Since then, I have discovered tons of dilemmas about life in America.

Goal setting seems to be a hot topic, yet it’s easy to know about but difficult to practice.
People set goals, work hard at them for even a few months, and then 41 them. Next year, they set the 42 goals. But why do so many people do it? They may be making goals too 43 . But that isn’t to say that they aren’t 44 goals. They need to be broken apart into smaller and 45 pieces. Make spoon-size goals and you’ll accomplish them 46 .
Many people are probably unwilling to 47 you to reach your goals. They’re 48 with you when you have your own goals. They may even be enthusiastic about your 49 to change something or accomplish something new. 50 , as you change and accomplish, they may not like it. Why? It’s usually because your changes and accomplishments 51 them that they could be doing it, too... 52 they aren’t!
You may have filled your 53 with so many things that there’s little 54 for your goals to grow. We must be careful not to confuse busyness with 55 , as goals are always achieved step by step. Be 56 about how you use your time and what you focus on. Success often comes when you know what to 57 , rather than what to include in your life.
Goal setting is like the pig and chicken walking out early one morning. The chicken became really 58 when she saw a sign: “Ham & Eggs, $2.99”. She said to the pig, “Look, we’ve got double billing again.” The pig said, “That’s 59 for you to say! For you, it’s all in a day’s work. For me, it’s total commitment.” Goal setting is all in a day’s work. Goal 60 is total commitment.

Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English. Which is good, to study in Britain or in your own country?
The benefits of going to Britain seems obvious. You will listen to the language all the time, surround completely by the language wherever you would go and have to speak English if you are with the local people. In China, there is always possible to speak Chinese in class and the learning is slower. Besides, there are also advantage of studying at home. You don’t have make big changes to your life. And of course, it’s much cheaper than going to Britain.
In my view, for most people without enough money, being at home is their only choice. A most important thing to do in this situation is make good use of your opportunities—speaking only English in class and using English whenever possibly outside the class.

M: Yeah. It's crazy. It's like nine dollars a movie.
W:Unless it's a date, I'm not going to pay that much to watch a movie.

M: Good morning, ma'am. Are you being helped?
W:No, I'm not. I'm here to look for a winter coat.
M: I can certainly help you with that...How about this one? It's made of very high quality wool.
W: It's nice. But I actually need something warmer. This would work if I were staying here in Los Angeles, but it's too light for a Chicago winter.
M: Ah! You need a very heavy coat, then. Please follow me...Look at this one. It is our warmest coat, and it is also fashionable and very comfortable.
W:Would it be possible to get a discount on it?
M: Maybe we can give you a five percent discount.
W:OK. I'lItake it.
M: Can I interest you in some gloves? They're ten percent off now.
W: No, thanks. I used to live in Connecticut, so I already have some.

So, here we are. As I told you, the country schoolhouse was three miles from my uncle's farm. You wouldn't imagine that there would be a school in the woods, would you? The house held about 24 boys and 20 girls at that time. We went to school once or twice a week in summer. All the pupils brought their lunches in baskets corn cakes, milk, and other good things. We sat in the shade of the trees at noon and ate them. You know how old I was when I went to this school for the first time? I was seven. I can still remember what happened that day. A fifteen-year-old girl stopped me at the gate and asked me if I was used to smoking. I said no. She made a face at me and made fun of me to the crowd, saying, "Here is a boy who is seven years old and can't even smoke! "I didn't understand why that could have possibly been a bad thing, and I continued to my classroom.

Dan Buettner has studied five places around the world where residents are famed for their longevity: Okinawa in Japan, Nicoya in Costa Rica, Icaria in Greece, Loma Linda in California and Sardinia in Italy.
People living in these so-called “blue zones” have certain factors in common—social support networks, daily exercise habits and a plant-based diet, for starters. But they share another unexpected commonality. In each community, people are gardening well into old age—their 80s, 90s and beyond.
Could nurturing your green thumb help you live to 100?
It is well-known that an outdoor lifestyle with moderate physical activity is linked to longer life, and gardening is an easy way to accomplish both. “If you garden, you're getting some low-intensity physical activity most days, and you tend to work routinely，” says Buettner.
He says there is evidence that gardeners live longer and are less stressed. A variety of studies confirm this, pointing to both the physical and mental health benefits of gardening.
If gardening is good, is farming even better? Many of the lifestyle factors associated with longevity—such as living in the country and getting lots of exercise—apply to farmers as well.
Some evidence suggests that farming is one of the healthiest occupations.However, neither farming nor gardening will ultimately guarantee a longer lifespan(壽命). But some of the lifestyle factors associated with both—namely going outside, engaging in light physical activity and eating a healthy plant-based diet—just might.
(B)24. What do the long-lived people in the “blue zones” share?
A. They all live well beyond 90.
B. They keep on gardening.
C. They only eat vegetables.
D. They are very sociable.
【解析】B。 從第二段最后一句“In each community, people are gardening well into old age—their 80s, 90s and beyond.”可知A錯(cuò)誤、B正確，C太絕對(duì)，D文章未提及。
(C)25. How does gardening possibly help live a longer life?
A. By getting people working outside occasionally.
B. By getting people involved in creative projects.
C. By providing some appropriate physical activity.
D. By supporting effective social networks.
【解析】根據(jù)第四段第一句可知C正確，B未提及，A選項(xiàng)的occasionally不正確，D選項(xiàng)是對(duì)文中提到的social support networks的誤解。
(D)26. What does the author conclude in the last paragraph?
A. Farming will get more popular.
B. Farming and gardening can ensure longevity.
C. There is no connection between longevity and occupation.
D. Physical activity and healthy eating count.
【解析】選項(xiàng)A文中并未提及，選項(xiàng)B與文章意思相反，D正確，C選項(xiàng)太過(guò)絕對(duì)。
(B)27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Secrets of Longevity
B. Gardening Could Help You Live to 100
C. Gardening and Farming
D. The Benefits of Gardening
【解析】從全文來(lái)看，文章大意講的就是從事園藝對(duì)長(zhǎng)壽有一定的好處，B正確。選項(xiàng)A只提了長(zhǎng)壽，沒(méi)有涉及園藝，選項(xiàng)C未涉及長(zhǎng)壽，選項(xiàng)D范圍過(guò)廣。
C
Almost every day we come across situations where we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion(幻覺(jué)), a false idea created by companies and advertisers, hoping to sell their products.
The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in people's lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors.
It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.
(A)28. What does the author try to argue in the first paragraph?
A. The practice of choice is difficult.
B. Choice is a born right.
C. It's easy to make choices.
D. Companies offer good shopping decisions.
【解析】 從第一段中“But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right.”可歸納出答案為A。
(B)29. Which of the following is most likely to cause anxiety?
A. Easy access to everyday goods.
B. Too many choices.
C. Misleading advertisements.
D. Professional shopping advice.
【解析】從第二段第一句可知無(wú)止境的選擇范圍導(dǎo)致人們?cè)谧龀鲞x擇時(shí)很焦慮，也就是說(shuō)選擇的范圍太大。A選項(xiàng)是說(shuō)很容易買(mǎi)到東西，而不是選擇范圍廣。
(A)30. The example of computers is used to prove that________.
A. updated products flood the market
B. high-tech products are of poor quality
C. everyday goods need to be replaced
D. advanced products are in demand
【解析】電腦的例子出現(xiàn)在最后一段，本段topic sentence 是第一句話“It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market.”是說(shuō)新型產(chǎn)品不斷沖擊市場(chǎng)，故選A。
(C)31. What is this passage mainly about?
A. The opinions on people's right.
B. The problems of the availability of daily goods.
C. The helplessness in purchasing decisions.
D. The variety of choices in modern society.
【解析】縱觀全文及最后一句話“Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.”可以知道本文主要講述人們?cè)谫?gòu)物時(shí)因?yàn)檫x擇太多而無(wú)法簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單地進(jìn)行選擇的現(xiàn)狀。
D
Vertebrates(脊椎動(dòng)物), human beings included, are constantly changing their skin—producing new layers of it as they slough__off old cells. Understanding this process of regeneration would help the treatment of skin diseases and injuries such as burns. This week, a group of researchers led by Kenneth Poss of Duke University Medical Centre, in North Carolina, have announced a colourful new technique that should enhance such understanding. They call it the “skinbow”.
Skinbows are themselves an adaptation of an approach called a “brainbow”，which was invented almost a decade ago, and is used to label nerve cells different colours. Brainbow technology permits someone with an appropriate microscope to trace the connections that lots of individual nerve cells make with one another in the brain of, say, a mouse.
Dr Poss's experimental animal is not a mammal but a fish: the zebra fish. Skinbow or brainbow, though, the basic procedure is the same. Genetic engineering is used to create lines of animals whose genomes(基因組)contain multiple copies of genes for proteins that glow under ultraviolet light(紫外線).These genes are controlled by DNA switches that are activated only in the appropriate tissue type—brain for brainbows, skin for skinbows. In the case of skinbows, some of the proteins glow red, some glow green and some glow blue.
At the moment Dr Poss thinks his microscopes can distinguish 70-80 such colours. Moreover, unlike brainbow technology, which requires that the animal be killed in order to see what is going on, a skinbow is visible from the outside. Regenerative processes can be followed over an extended period.
The researchers, for example, could observe in detail how a fish responds to injury. When they cut a fin from one of their charges, they were able to track cells moving to the site of the damage and helping to repair it. They also saw new cells rising from deeper layers of the skin to supplement those that had migrated to heal the injured fin. After two to three weeks, the fin had regrown completely.
The next stage will be to test how fish skin responds to diseases, and to drugs that might treat those diseases. In the fullness of time, the technology might be extended to look at skin regeneration in other species, mammals included. Even while restricted to fish, though, it is likely to produce useful insights into the process of regeneration—not to mention the possibility of a nice little sideline(副業(yè)) in designing aquaria(水族館).
(A)32. Which of the following best explains “slough off” underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. Get rid of. B. Take advantage of.
C. Adapt to. D. Rule out.
【解析】根據(jù)前后句意可知，在脫落舊細(xì)胞時(shí)，不斷地產(chǎn)生皮膚的新層。
(D)33. What can we know about the brainbow according to Paragraph 2?
A. It is a colorful nerve cell.
B. It was invented to trace the skinbow.
C. It can speed up the adaptation of the skinbow.
D. It helps detect connections between cells.
【解析】從第二段可推出答案。
(C)34. Where do the skinbow and the brainbow differ?
A. In their principles.
B. In their complexity.
C. In their continuity in observation.
D. In their practicality in reality.
【解析】第四段第二、三句告知了兩者之間的區(qū)別。“Moreover, unlike brainbow technology, which requires that the animal be killed in order to see what is going on, a skinbow is visible from the outside. Regenerative processes can be followed over an extended period.”
(D)35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The process of skin regeneration.
B. The limitations of the skinbow.
C. The prediction of a promising career.
D. The possible applications of the skinbow.
【解析】從最后一段可知，除了魚(yú)之外，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)可以擴(kuò)展到觀察其他物種，包括哺乳動(dòng)物的皮膚再生。所以可推出是談?wù)?ldquo;skinbow”在其他物種方面應(yīng)用的可能性。
第二節(jié) (共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
Technology can help solve the problem of bad, absent teachers in poor-country schools
The UN's Millennium Development Goals included the ambition that by 2015 all the world's children would complete primary school. This has largely been achieved: nine out of ten children are now enrolled.36.__D__. Even though most of the world's children go to school, an awful lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. According to a recent World Bank study of seven sub-Saharan African countries, half of nine-year-olds cannot read a simple word and three-quarters cannot read a simple sentence.37.__A__. The same study found that only 7% of teachers had the minimum knowledge needed to teach reading and writing effectively. When classrooms were inspected to see whether a teacher was present, half the time the answer was no.
38.__B__. It seems to bring about bigger improvements in poor countries than in rich ones. Some of the scarce resources being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on ed-tech. That does not mean dumping computers on schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them, a folly on which plenty of money has been wasted.39.__E__， that gets things right more often than the teachers do, that adjusts itself to the child's ability, that sends teachers clues about what they are supposed to be teaching and that allows the authorities to check on whether the teacher is in the classroom.
Technology is no panacea(靈丹妙藥). Good traditional teachers are not outdated, and are never likely to be.40.__G__. But ed-tech can help greatly—by monitoring pupils and teachers alike, assisting the best teachers and, most importantly, making up for the failings of the worst.
A. The reason is terrible teaching
B. Several recent studies suggest ed-tech can help
C. Paying teachers more in the hope of employing better ones is not the answer
D. Regrettably, the figure is not as impressive as it sounds
E. Instead, it means providing schools with software that children can use without any help from an adult
F. Devices can be taken to where there is a connection to upload or download the necessary information
G. And authorities need to hold teachers to account
【解析】
36. 上文說(shuō)“這個(gè)目標(biāo)大部分已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)了……”，下文指出“盡管世界上大多數(shù)適齡兒童都去了學(xué)校，他們之中有很多人在那里幾乎什么都沒(méi)學(xué)到。”36空表示：令人遺憾的是，這個(gè)數(shù)字并不像聽(tīng)上去那樣令人印象深刻。
37. 根據(jù)世界銀行最近針對(duì)撒哈拉沙漠以南地區(qū)七個(gè)國(guó)家的一份研究，有一半的九歲孩子連一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的單詞都不會(huì)念，四分之三的孩子讀不懂簡(jiǎn)單的句子。造成這個(gè)現(xiàn)象的原因在于糟糕的教學(xué)質(zhì)量。所以A是正確答案。
38. 第一段講述了目前的現(xiàn)狀，接下來(lái)的一段主要講述解決問(wèn)題的方法。38空位于段首，是本段的主題句：“最近的幾項(xiàng)研究表明教育科技可以為改善這種情況提供幫助。”后文都是圍繞教育科技展開(kāi)說(shuō)明的。所以B是正確答案。
39. 39空位于段落的中間，為支撐句。上文提到“用在教師身上的稀缺資源可以被更好地用在教育科技上， 這并不意味著將計(jì)算機(jī)堆放在學(xué)校里……”“相反，這意味著為學(xué)校提供軟件……”所以E是正確答案。
40. 上文“傳統(tǒng)的優(yōu)秀教師并不會(huì)過(guò)時(shí)，也不可能過(guò)時(shí)。” 后文“然而，教育科技可以幫大忙……”有一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。40空與“傳統(tǒng)的優(yōu)秀教師并不會(huì)過(guò)時(shí)，也不可能過(guò)時(shí)。”是一個(gè)并列關(guān)系，所以G是正確答案。hold sb. to account 意為“讓某人承擔(dān)責(zé)任”。

We went out to dinner tonight to celebrate my daughter's beautiful performance. We don't do this often because of our__41__budget.
I noticed a very__42__mom come in with her three children, maybe about age 4 or 5. She looked like she had just__43__work. She sat with her children quietly taking care of them and__44__all their needs. Then I noticed as soon as the last course__45__arrived, she took a bite of her food in a hurry and then one of the__46__had to go to the bathroom. They all left the table and she__47__them—so lovingly and__48__— especially after what may have been a long day at work. She was still wearing some kind of uniform.
I __49__ myself from the table and quietly went to the hostess stand. I __50__ $15 to the hostess and said, “Can you put this anonymously(匿名地) towards that mom of 3's __51__? I am hoping it will __52__ at least the children's meals.” The hostess had such a lovely smile and accepted the __53__. I didn't stand around __54__ as I didn't want anyone—even my own family—to __55__ what was going on. I wanted it to be completely anonymous.
For the __56__ of my meal, I did all I could not to pay any more attention __57__ to the table, as I didn't want her to suspect that it was me that had __58__ their dinner.
It feels so __59__ to live in this type of world, full of love and __60__， instead of anger, sadness and self-service.

By the latter half of the 19th century, manufacturing had become the cornerstone of American industry. But, in spite of their 61.__economic__ (economy) importance, factories were often run in a very disordered manner. For the most part, factory operations 62.__simply__ (simple) adopted “rule-of-thumb”(經(jīng)驗(yàn)法則)operations. Basically, 63.__employees__ (employ) would learn how to do procedures from their more experienced colleagues on the job, 64.__copying__ (copy) methods and techniques born out of individual trial-and-error. It was not until F. W. Taylor, 65.__an__ engineer, began introducing his ideas about systematizing these processes in the early 1890s 66.__that__ this approach to factory management began to change.
Taylor was the pioneer of an approach that he would later name “scientific management”. He thought management should analyze each task performed in the factory rather than allowing workers to determine how to do the work for themselves. That way they could make sure that every step in the manufacturing process 67.__was__handled__ (handle) as efficiently as possible. Taylor also believed that management needed to be more scientific in 68.__their__ (they) handling of staffing issues. He felt that all workers should be carefully selected, properly trained to ensure that they perform their tasks competently. Most significantly, Taylor thought that workers should carry 69.__out__ instructions handed down by their managers. 70.__Although/Though/While__ in our modern world Taylor's ideas would be considered overly strict, at the time they helped to achieve much greater efficiency in industrial operations.

Recently, a lot of students in our school hashave fallen ill due to the bad weather. I
notice they don't ask doctors for help but triedtry medicines by themselves in order to
save time. Personally, I don't agree with them. First, it is not easiereasy for us students to
make a wise choosechoice of medicines to cure illness. For example, when having a cold，
most of us prefer to take antibiotics, which in fact is not necessary atin most cases. And
medicines have side effecteffects， which may pose a threat to us because we don't have the
enough knowledge of them. From I stand, I strongly suggest we talk to the doctor
afterbefore taking medicines. But healthy is more important than that. As a saying
goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I would really appreciate it if you could do me this favor and offer some advice for my speech. Earnestly looking forward to your early reply!

On a sad day for American music，Whitney Houston has been found dead in a LA hotel room at the age of 48. Whitney Houston was an American recording artist, actress, producer, and model. She won a total of 415 career awards in her career, making her the most-awarded female artist of all time. Houston was one of the world's best-selling musical artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles, and videos worldwide. She first began singing in churches when she was a kid, and she later performed alongside her mother in nightclubs in the New York City area. It was around this time that she was discovered by the legendary producer Clive Davis, the owner of Arista Records. He signed Houston to a long-term recording deal, and the singer would go on to release seven studio albums and three movie soundtrack albums, all of which were sold at least half a million copies. Some of her most famous songs include Saving All My Love for You, Greatest Love of All，and So Emotional.She also starred in several movies, including The Bodyguard. Her hit song from that soundtrack, I Will Always Love You, became the best-selling song by a female artist in music history, and her popularity as an actor and a singer influenced many other African-American women, singers, and performers. Houston died the night before the Grammy Awards, but the cause of her death was not immediately known.

Reading literature is a common experience, but it is by no means a simple experience. Literature may seem a simple matter of fact when one thinks of it as being black marks on white pages; but as soon as the reader recognizes the marks as words—as phrases, sentences, and paragraphs—he has begun to leave the world of the simple experience of the “real” object, the printed page, and has begun to move in the world of abstractions. The black marks are soon seen as symbols of other things, to “stand for” objects, processes and situations.
A reader’s experience with a book is no difference in its nature than his experience with other objects in life. In life, objects appear to us and we have sensations and impressions of them as they impact on our sensory organs; we adjust to the objects with every confidence that they are real. Theseus, in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, speaks of the errors we make in judging: “In the night, imagining some fear, how easy is a bush supposed a bear!”
As in life, the magic of imagination in literature creates vivid images that may develop in the reader a tendency to accept the images as physical reality, and what was at first imagined becomes at last directly sensed. John Keats went so far as to express a preference for the imagined when he said, “Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter…”
Perhaps Keats was an uncommon reader. Generally, however, most of us undervalue the power of literature to affect us directly.

In King Henry VI, Shakespeare wrote, “to weep is to make less the depth of grief,” and American writer Lemony Snicket said “unless you have been very lucky, you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.” Charles Darwin, on the other hand, thought that the production of tears was merely a useless side effect of the way that the muscles around the eye worked. For him, those muscles had to contract(收縮) from time to time so that they didn’t overflow with blood; the squeeze of tears was simply an unintended consequence of that evolved physiological process.
We now know that crying—at least, the sort that adults do—is a complex physiological response to some kind of emotional stimulus(刺激). From a scientific perspective, crying is different from the production of tears in response to a chemical stimulus. Even the tears themselves are different. In 1981, Minnesota psychiatrist William H Frey II discovered that tears brought on by sad movies had more protein in them than those that flowed in response to some freshly cut onions.
But while all of us are familiar with the feelings that are associated with crying, whether for joy or sorrow, there’s not much that’s known about why we do it as adults—but there are plenty of ideas.
One idea is that adult crying isn’t actually all that different from the sort that babies do, at least when it comes to its social nature. In other words, perhaps weeping is a literal cry for attention, a means of soliciting support and help from our friends when we need it the most. It’s a way of communicating our inner emotional state at a time when we may not be able to fully articulate(清晰地表達(dá)) it.
While this may explain some forms of crying, many researchers have found that adults often cry when they’re completely alone. Another possibility is that crying might serve as a means of “secondary appraisal,” helping people to realize just how upset they are, a way of helping them understand their own feelings—it’s a controversial idea, with at least some evidence to support it, in some cases.
And then there’s the notion of catharsis. This idea is consistent with the words of Shakespeare, but with the Greek philosopher Aristotle, who also wrote that crying “cleanses the mind”. In a 1986 study, one psychologist found that 94% of articles about crying suggested that it helped to lessen psychological tension.
Indeed, a 2008 study of nearly 4,300 young adults from 30 countries found that most reported improvements in both their mental and physical wellbeing after a session of crying, but not all. Some reported no change after a crying session, and some even said that they felt worse afterwards. The difference seems to lie in the social context: if a person felt embarrassed about crying in public, for example, they might feel less resolved than if they cried alone or with a single close friend.
So the notion of having “a good cry” is not without benefit, but it seems to necessitate the right kind of social support to be effective.
62. What does the author want to illustrate with the examples in paragraph 1?
A. People have been long interested in crying.
B. Scientists and authors see things differently.
C. There are disagreements over why people cry.
D. Little is known about the function of crying.

A. Crying when watching a film. B. Crying when cutting onions.
C. Crying when seeking for help. D. Crying when one is alone.

A. Crying is associated with pleasure and sadness.
B. Crying cannot help people understand themselves.
C. Crying has different effects in different surroundings.
D. Crying brings relief from stressful situations.
65. The best title of the passage would be _______.
A. Is having a cry good for us? B. Different types of crying
C. Why do we cry? D. Experiments on crying

Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs, they materialize in the places we’d least expect. They can come to us as a great change in our physical reality or as a simple coincidence in our lives. Sometimes they’re big and can’t be missed. Other times they’re so subtle that if we aren’t aware, we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously meet at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we’ll always hear the right words, at the right time, to dazzle(目眩) us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.
On a cold January afternoon in 1989, I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt’s Mt. Horeb. I’d spent the day at St. Catherine’s Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow path, I’d occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another language, there was one man that day who did neither.
I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closer, I could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I’d seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the norm(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)), this man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered, rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so odd, though, was that the man didn’t even appear to be Egyptian! He was a small-framed Asian man, had very little hair, and was wearing round，wire-rimmed glasses.
As we neared one another, I was the first to speak, “Hello,” I said, stopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadn’t heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail, looked up from the ground, and spoke a single sentence to me in English, “Sometimes you don’t know what you have lost until you’ve lost it.” As I took in what I had just heard, he simply stepped around me and continued his descent down the trail.
That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989, and the Cold War was drawing to a close. What the man on the trail couldn’t have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage(朝圣), and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses’s mountain, that I’d set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industry, my friends, my family, and, ultimately, my life.
I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking up, stopping before me, and offering his wisdom, seemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy: the odds were slim to none! In a meet that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home, a total stranger had brought clarity, and the hint of a warning, regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinking, that’s a miracle.
I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are. In the moments when we don’t, that’s okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again. And each time they do, they become a little less subtle, until we can’t possibly miss the message that they bring to our lives!
The key is that they’re everywhere and occur every day for different reasons, in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.
66. Why did the author make a pilgrimage to Mt. Horeb in Egypt?
A. He was in search of a miracle in his life.
B. It was a holy place for a religious person to head for.
C. He intended to make arrangements for his life in the future.
D. He waited patiently in expectation of meeting a wise person.
67. What does the underlined part “my own question” refer to in paragraph 6?
A. For what reason did the man stop before me?
B. Why did the Asian man go to the mountain?
C. What change would I make within a matter of days?
D. What was the probability that others told us the right words?
68. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “subtle” in paragraph 7?
A. Apparent. B. Delicate. C. Precise. D. Sufficient.
69. The author viewed the meet with the Asian man as a miracle in his life in that _______.
A. the Asian man’s appearance had a deciding effect on his future life
B. his words were in perfect response to the need he had at that moment
C. what the Asian man said was abundant in the philosophy of life
D. the Asian man impressed on him the worth of what he had possessed
70. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Can you recognize a miracle? B. Is a miracle significant to us?
C. When might a miracle occur? D. Why do we need a miracle?

Factory farming is a type of farming that involves raising a huge number of livestock(牲畜) in comparatively tinier enclosed spaces, with a view to supplying them to the livestock market. It took root in the later part of the 19th century. On the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, the inventions of antibiotics and pesticides were increasing in number, which made it possible to practice factory farming. And gradually, with better farming methods, livestock were able to be raised indoors leading to mass production in a shorter while. Nowadays, according to reliable sources, more than 50% of the livestock are produced using this concept.
Factory farming is one of the most important food production methods around the world today because it has a lot of advantages. For example, there are huge numbers of mouths to feed, and mass production leads to the purchase of poultry(家禽) and the related items. Since the items aren’t priced too high for consumers to afford, people appreciate buying them in a large number. And as more and more livestock are artificially raised, more and more chicken, beef and eggs are out for sale. The purchase rate is higher and despite being reasonably priced, the produce fetches a profit for the farms. In addition, since the business is enormous and needs as many hands as possible to increase the food produce, an equal number of staff are required for work, which results in a growth in the related jobs.
However, there are also disadvantages of factory farming. For instance, the animals are artificially bred, and since the procedure is not natural, the end products could be of poor quality. Antibiotics are injected into cows and hens, making them more unlikely to suffer from dirt and disease. As a result, the eggs and meat will not be as good as usual. The products thus obtained are of such low quality, which ultimately affects our health as well. Actually, since the entire production is artificial, the meat is overloaded with hormones and drugs, and the bacteria develop resistance to the antibiotics, which is why many diseases remain untreated. Worse still, the animals’ waste can pollute the water and air, causing extensive damage to the environment. It may also lead to harmful emissions and contribute to the already increasing global warming.
Because of the above advantages and disadvantages of factory farming, the concept has been a subject of massive debate all over the world, wherever this practice has been employed. Supporters of this concept argue that it does provide enough food for the increasing population and is more affordable. However, unfavorable opinions suggest that there are better ways of producing food, rather than subjecting animals to this suffering. The debate has been going on for quite a while, with no one being able to gain the upper hand.

Authorities have called for nationwide enforcement of food standards in schools amid an ongoing investigation into a Shanghai-based food supplier accused of serving low-quality lunches with expired ingredients at a private school in the city.
The Shanghai Municipal Food and Drug Administration confirmed in a statement on Tuesday that students at the SMIC Private School in the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park were served expired food, including rotten and moldy produce. Expiration dates on the packaging of some products had been altered. The investigation confirmed what the students’ parents reported during a surprise inspection of the school’s kitchen on Friday.
The State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Education urged local education and food authorities on Tuesday to strengthen inspections of campus canteens to ensure their safety. On Saturday, SMIC Private School apologized to students, staff and parents and promised to take full responsibility for failing to supervise the vendor, according to its website. The principal of the school has been dismissed.

One possible version:
A private school located in Shanghai provided low-quality food for students, raising the concern of administrative departments. They conducted an investigation and demanded food criteria among schools be enforced.
Campus food safety is of vital importance to students. On the one hand, safe food is beneficial to students’ healthy growth, which lays a solid foundation for their sustainable development. On the other hand, if they were offered low-quality food, they couldn’t keep fit on campus, making their parents worried a lot and compromising their academic performances.
Ensuring students having access to safe food is a top priority. To begin with, the government should make stricter rules. Besides, the school leaders should attach importance to the issue. What’s more, schools are supposed to invite parents and students to supervise school canteens regularly. Only when we join forces can campus food safety be guaranteed.
In conclusion, we can’t emphasize the importance of campus food safety too much.

M: Well, I want to talk about an activity course for the summer holidays. It operated for the first time last year for a six-week period from the middle of July until the end of August. This year we’ll be holding the course again. We’ve done our best to keep prices low so that it isn’t too expensive for children to attend the course. ⑰There will be different things to do every week, so the children won’t be repeating the same activities over and over again. ⑱However, I don’t expect many children will come for the whole summer, as I’m sure their parents will want to be with them for a week or two. We do, however, ask that children attend full weeks, not just single days. It makes it easier for us to keep attendance records. The course is currently available for children aged eight to thirteen. ⑲If a child or a child’s parent is listening, and is interested in coming to my summer activity course, they should go to my website, www.summeractivities.co.uk and print out an application form. Send it in with part payment as soon as possible, because the places are going fast. You’ll need to tell us which weeks you are planning to attend straight away, but you won’t need to choose your activities in advance. You can choose what you want to do every Monday. ⑳We need to know if the child has any special needs regarding their diet.
