Essentially,Hawking's time travel party was held for our fiture generations,should they ever crack the mystery of time travel,one of the biggest challenges faced by modern physics.The setup may seem silly,but Hawking was actually experimenting.That's because our current knowledge of physics does not strictly forbid time travel.Indeed,in some cases,it's clearly allowed. The general theory of relativity provides several situations that might enable time travel into the past.One involves a limitlessly long cylinder(圆柱体)，which rotates(旋转)fast enough to allow you to travel a path around it and end up in the past.Another is the creation of a worm hole with different time at each end,allowing you to travel down one end and exit into the past. Since nobody showed up to Hawking's time travel party,we have a few possible conclusions: 1.Time travel into the past is not allowed,Our future generations will discover the fundamental reason why time travel into the past is forbidden and sigh regretfully that they could not accept Hawking's invitation. 2.Time travel into the past is allowed,but we figure it out so far into the future that Hawking's invitation doesn't survive long enough. 3.Time travel into the past is allowed,but we never figure it out.Maybe our human intellect isn't quite powerful enough to detect the deeper mysteries of the universe. 4.Time travel into the past is allowed,but there are rles.Maybe it is exceptionally complicated to build a time machine,or we can send signals into the past,but not entire persons Of course,if someone from the future had shown up,it would've been a big deal.But,as experiments go,Hawking's party wasn't a total failure.In this case,it showed that the mystery of time travel will remain unsolved-at least for the time being. 8.Why did Stephen Hawking throw the party? A.To publicize his famd. B.To test a physics assumption. C.To welcome certain wisitors. D.To benefit future generations. o What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss regarding time travel into the past? A.Its vital significance. B.Its possible methods. C.Its potential influence. D.Its practical applications. 3 10.what possibly led to nobody coming to Hawking's party? A.Lost invitation. B.Diaturbed signals C.Powerful intelligsnce. D.Insufficient attontion. 11.What does the author think of Hawking's party? A.It was valuable. B.It was impractical. C.It was confusing. D.It was transformative D The British has obeyed the"keep to the left"rule for long.Have you ever wondered why?There is a historical reason for this:it's all to do with keeping your sword hand freel In the Middle Ages you never knew who you were going to meet when travelling on horsebaek.Most people are right-handed, so if a stranger passed by on the right of you,your right hand would be free to use your sword if required. Indeed the"kecp to the left"rule goes back even further in time;archaeologists have discovered evidence suggesting that the Romans drove carts and wagons on the left,and it is known that Roman soldiers always marched on the left.This"rule of the road"was officially sanctioned in 1300 AD when Pope(教皇)Boniface VIⅢdeclared that all pilgrims(朝圣者)travelling to Rome should keep to the left. This cortinued until the hate 1700s when large wagons became popular for transporting goods. These wagons were drawn by several pairs of horses and had no driver's seat.Instead,in order to control the horses,the driver sat on the horse at the back left,thus keeping his whip hand free.Sitting on the left however made it difficult to judge the traffic coming the other way,as anyone who has driven a left-hand drive car along the winding lanes of Britain will agree! In Britain there wasn't much call for these massive wagons and the smaller British vehicles had seats for the driver to sit on behind the horses.As most people are right-handed,the driver would sit to the right of the seat so his whip hand was free.Traffic congestion in 18th century London led to a law being passed to make all traffic on London Bridge keep to the left in order to reduce collisions.This rule was incorporated ().into the Highway Act of 1835 and was adopted throughout the British Empire. 12.What probably happened in the Middle Ages? A.Passers-by walked on the right. B.Strangers fought every time they met. C.People would be attacked by strangers. D.Tourists travelled everywhere without limnt. 13.What does the underlined word"sanctioned"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Recognized. B.Designed. C.Explained. D.Postponed. 4.What was the attitude of drivers in the late 18th century to driving on the left?. A.Unclear. B.Indifferent. C.Negative. D.Doubtful. 15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.What Is the "Keep to the Left"Rule? B.Why Do the British Drive on the Left? C.Where Was“Drive on the Left”Carried Out? D.When Is the“Keep to the Left'”Rule Popular? 第二节（供5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 They say scuba diving opens up a world of possibilities,from leaming new skills to exploring places beyond your imagination.A few years ago,I was lucky enough to experience all these on a reef dive at the Gili Islands in Indonesia. After my first dive,I realized that it has far more in common with yoga than it does with extreme sports.On land,switching off your brain can be a struggle.Breathing is something that just happens without thinking.16When you're diving,it's a totally different ball game.You're suddenly aware of how your movements connect with each intake of breath. It's hard to feel distracted (when diving.Nature is putting on such a show-stopping performance that your attention is fully absorbed.You're right there on the stage,in the moment. 17 Something I hadn't really considered before my first scuba dive was just how human-centric our lives are on land.Everything seems to go around the human experience.But when you dive,it's a different stowentirely.18:A guest in someone else's home. 9 Almost everyth.ng in front of you is alive and part of a delicate ecosystem of life. Here,clownfish weave among the anemones and parrotfish feed on their favorite coral ) 20 Nothing is ours to take or touch.Suddenly,your own world feels rather tiny and you realize youle just part of the world. A.All of a sudden,you're the outsider B.Everything here has its place and purpose. C.This is what living in the present feels like. D.Rarely do you take the time to stop and just "be". E.Exploring the undersea world is a humbling experience. F.Your breathing becomes slow,purposeful and rhythmic. G.Your heart races,your breath quickens and logical thinking goes out. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） ·第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Failing Successfully Two years ago,I took part in a speech competition and delivered a memorized speech.It was a hard time for me when the judge 21 the winners.At last,the moment of truth came.I got the worst.

I was facing serious questions about my own nature,and I wanted to know that he had faced them too. 1 needed to know how he had found his way,because I felt like I had lost mine. In a severe moment of desperation,it occumred to me that sending an cmail might be the key.An email can be crafted slowly and carefully.I could speak at a comfortable distance and give him room to adjust.He'd be up in his office-a comfortable place filled with bookshelves,dusty CD- ROMs and piles of old newspapers.I'd be at my desk in an apartment 20 minutes away. So I wrote to him.I told him about my regrets and fears,and I asked him to answer,if he felt like it,and to share something about himself,something that would give me much-needed perspective on my life,especially on relationship and career. Two weeks later,his response showed up in my email box.It was a scanned three-page document. Apparently,my dad had carefully considered my message,reached back into his memory and crafted a response.In the letter,he shared his history of love,longing,self-doubt,fears and struggles in life. He also offered me some practical suggestions on how to handle my relationship and career.While reading,I got the sense that it must have been really tough for my dad to settle down in a new country at an early age.I was also impressed by the great perseverance he showed in the face of difficulty. 注意：1.续写词数应为100左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I closed the email and started to cry. 1
