But it hasn’t been appreciated that so many different proteins’ levels — roughly a third of all the ones we looked at —change markedly with advancing age.” This difference between the chronological and physiological age, according to the scientists’ “plasma-protein clock”, showed that a lot of people in the study seemed younger than they actually were. What’s more, the study also confirmed that men and women, though equally ____9____ (represent) in the study; aged differently.

Reading Comprehension (45%) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Turner and Barbara Hepworth were ____21____ to the town’s clear light. Others come for the seafood and sandy beaches. Even the town’s notoriously aggressive seagulls, who dive-bomb unsuspecting tourists and steal their Cornish pasties, are not enough to ____22____ outsiders. But St Ives’s popularity has a downside: visitors ____23____ the local housing market. Locals worry that the town is becoming a playground for rich Londoners, who in the summer months arrive on the sleeper train from Paddington. At the last count, a quarter of the dwellings in St Ives were second homes or ____24____. So in May 2016 locals decided to do something about it, voting in a referendum (公投) to introduce a “principal-residence policy”, which stops newly built houses in the town being used as second homes. The thinking went that by stopping holidaymakers from snapping up new-builds, housing would become more ____25____ to people who live in St Ives all year round. Building firms and DIY shops, for whom second-homers are prized customers, ____26____ the plan. One property firm even challenged the policy in the High Court. But the legal challenge failed and the second-home ban ____27____. Since then a few other Cornish towns have introduced their own versions of the policy. Those involved in designing the plan say that, three years on, it is too early to ____28____ its impact. But official statistics suggest that excluding second-home buyers from the new-build market has removed a big source of ____29____. The price of new homes in the town is 13% below what it might have been if the previous growth rate had continued. Locals _____30_____ to afford a property may like the sound of this. But it has had an unwelcome side-effect: house building has _____31_____. Developers who bought land when it was pricier can in some cases no longer sell homes at a profit. Others may be holding off from breaking ground in the hope that the policy is _____32_____. In 2015 Acorn Property Group, a local firm, was about to buy a site for 34 homes,14 of them “affordable” (i.e., sold or let at below-market rates). But the policy made the scheme _____33_____ because the open-market dwellings could no longer subsidize (资助) the affordable ones, the company says. Meanwhile, second-home buyers in St Ives seem to be shifting their attention to _____34_____ buildings, which are not covered by the policy. Data from Hamptons International, a property firm suggest that in St Ives second-homers form a larger share of transactions than before the policy came into force. _____35_____ new-builds, prices have continued to climb. That represents a windfall (意外之财) to locals who already own their homes —and may eventually persuade even more of them to cash in and move out. 21.

(A) Born in 1823 in Wales, Alfred Russel Wallace was a man of humble background, but he had a passion for nature and he chose to follow it. He started out collecting insects as a hobby, but eventually his longing for adventure led him to explore the world. Luckily for Wallace, Victorian Britain was discovering an interest in weird and wonderful insects, so the demand from museums and private collections for these beasts was growing. Wallace was able to make a living doing what he loved: collecting beetles and other insects. But his first adventure of exploring the world ended in disaster. Wallace proceeded to the Amazon in South America. Its giant forests promised a wealth of new species, sure to put him on the scientific map. The trip took 6 weeks and involved every mode of transport in existence at the time. Four years later Wallace set off for home, but his boat caught fire in the middle of the Atlantic. Everyone survived, but Wallace had to watch in despair as his samples went up in flames—including live animals he was bringing home that were trying to jump free of the flames. But he did not let it stop him. In 1854, Wallace set off on another adventure, this time to the Malay Archipelago. Wallace found himself overshadowed by the new and exciting things he saw. He later recalled: “As I lie listening to these interesting sounds, I think how many besides myself have longed to see with their own eyes the many wonderful and beautiful things which I am daily encountering. ” In 1858. Wallace wrote what became known as the “Ternte essay”: a piece of writing that was to change our understanding of life forever. In his essay, Wallace argued that a species would only turn into another species if it was struggling for existence. Henry W. Bates was one of many scientists delighted by the idea of evolution by natural selection. In a letter to Wallace, he wrote: “The idea is like truth itself, so simple and obvious that those who read and understand it will be struck by its simplicity; and yet it is perfectly original.” 36. ________ finally pushed Wallage to explore the world. A. His strong affection for nature B. His deep love for adventure C. His life-long devotion to beasts D. Increasing demand for insects 37. Which of the following is TRUE about Wallace’s first trip? A. It took him six weeks to explore the Amazon with all kinds of transportation. B. He made a scientific study of a fairly limited number of insects. C. The fire cost him his four years’ collection of animals. D. His passion cooled after the disaster. 38. Wallace felt ________ on the Malay Archipelago. A. fearless B. exhausted C. amazed D. nervous 39. Wallace’s idea on evolution of natural selection ________. A. revealed the origin of nature B. built up a new concept of life C. was too simple to be true D. made no sense at that time (B) Selling a Car to CarMax: How The Process Works What is CarMax? If you’re looking for used cars, you’ve likely come across a CarMax used car dealership or visited its website. CarMax has over230 locations across the country, and you can also buy a car through the retailer completely online. One advantage that CarMax has over completely online car retailers is that you can schedule a test drive at a vehicle’s CarMax location. Make an appointment with CarMax two working days prior to your test drive. Will CarMax Buy Any Vehicle? CarMax will buy most cars, even old cars that don’t even run. CarMax will even buy cars that they don’t expect to sell, such as badly damaged vehicles, that they will sell to auction. There are exceptions to the vehicles that CarMax will buy. The retailer will not buy a salvage vehicle. It will also not buy one with frame damage or flood damage. Here are the three basic steps to help you navigate the process. Step 1: Do Your Research Before you begin the process, you should do your research. There are a few online tools to help you estimate your car’s trade-in value like the iSeeCars Price my Car Tool, Kelley Blue Book (KBB), or Edmunds. These prices can give you a good starting point and help you understand the value of your car Step 2: Get an In-Person or Online Appraisal When you take your vehicle in for an appraisal, the inspection process will take around 30 minutes. The appraisal team will give you a written offer that is valid for seven days, which will allow you to shop around for a better offer or to secure your replacement vehicle. Keep in mind that this offer is non-negotiable. Step3: ________________ If you decide to have CarMax handle the sale of your car, you will then complete the necessary paperwork in the finance office. If you’re also purchasing a car through CarMax, your trade-in can be applied to your down payment (首付款). 40. According to paragraph 1 and 2, what is TRUE about CarMax? A. Customers can only do in-person trade if they choose CarMax. B. Arranging for test drives earns CarMax edge over other dealers C. CarMax is willing to give an offer to owners of any used car. D. Consumers can have a test drive even without reservation. 41. The underlined word “Appraisal” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________. A. Evaluation B. Deal C. Repair D. Exchange 42. Which of the following best fits the blank in paragraph 5? A. Negotiate for a Better Price B. Book a Test Drive C. Maintain Your Car D. Accept the Offer (C) If you want to disturb the car industry, you'd better have a few billion dollars: Mom-and-pop carmakers are unlikely to beat the biggest car companies. But in agriculture, small farmers can get the best of the major players. By connecting directly with customers, and by responding quickly to changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems(生态系统）, small farmers can keep one step ahead of the big guys. As the co-founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC, 美国青年农会）and a family farmer myself. I have a front-row seat to the innovations among small farmers that are transforming the industry. For example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester, a tool developed just a couple of years ago by a young farmer, Jonathan Dysinger, in Tennessee, with a small loan from a local Slow Money group. It enables small-scale farmers to harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour—a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by hand—suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California. Before the tool came out, small farmers couldn't touch the price per pound offered by California farms. But now, with the combination of a better price point and a generally fresher product, they can stay in business. The sustainable success of small farmers, though, won't happen without fundamental changes to the industry. One crucial factor is secure access to land. Competition from investors, developers, and established large farmers makes owning one's own land unattainable for many new farmers. From 2004 to 2013, agricultural land values doubled, and they continue to rise in many regions. Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers is a non-existent path to citizenship — the greatest barrier to building a farm of their own. With farmers over the age of 65 outnumbering(多于）farmers younger than 35 by six to one, and with two-thirds of the nation's farmland in need of a new farmer, we must clear the path for talented people willing to grow the nation's food. There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable and fair farm economy, but farmers can't clumsily put them together before us. We at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase farmland conservation, as we push for immigration reform, and as we seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and ambitious next generation of farms from all backgrounds. With a new farm bill to be debated in Congress, consumers must take a stand with young farmers. 43. The author mentions car industry at the beginning of the passage to introduce . A. the progress made in car industry B. a special feature of agriculture C. a trend of development in agriculture D. the importance of investing in car industry 44. What does the author want to illustrate with the example in paragraph 2? A. Loans to small local farmers are necessary. B. Technology is vital for agricultural development. C. Competition between small and big farms is fierce D. Small farmers may gain some advantages over big ones. 45. What is the difficulty for those new farmers? A. To gain more financial aid. B. To hire good farm managers. C. To have farms of their own. D. To win old farmers’ support. 46. What should farmers do for a more sustainable and fair farm economy? A. Seek support beyond NYFC. B. Expand farmland conservation. C. Become members of NYFC. D. Invest more to improve technology. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses. But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? ____47____ We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses. The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. ____48____ “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in-person courses. ____49____ He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. ____50____ A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-person meetings with your professor to discuss course concepts. A. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines. B. Your motivation should be your main concern. C. Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D. Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E. The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction. F. If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade? 第Ⅱ卷 (共50分) I. Summary (10%) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Wilderness therapy When most people think of psychotherapy, they picture patients relaxing on a sofa and spilling all of their emotions. “Tell me about your childhood,” the therapist says, taking a drag of his cigar. In reality, therapy takes place in all kinds of settings. One of them is wilderness therapy. When the campsite is set up and the fire is lit, the doctor is in. Wilderness therapy is a successful, and sometimes controversial way to help troubled youth by teaching life and social skills on the hiking traits. Intensive group therapy and one-on-one sessions are coupled with outdoor activities like mountain climbing and fly-fishing to teach self-reliance and responsibility. Programs promise to reform even the most wayward of offenders, including teens with depression, anger management issues, or eating disorders. While wilderness therapy can be effective, certain methods have come under fire for using unethical, and sometimes downright abusive, techniques to help struggling youth. Wilderness programs are loosely regulated, so not all programs are staffed by qualified professionals. Upon closer examination, some “therapy” groups seemed to be just military-style boot camps with little mental health benefit. Even legal wilderness therapy groups have been criticized for partnering with teen escort (护送者) companies to forcibly remove unwilling participants from their homes to attend the program. While controversy and risk exist, wilderness therapy might be a creative way to teach life skills when other methods have failed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ II.

I am thrilled to know that the school will carry out a theme activity of “Traditional Folk Art into Communities” during the winter holiday. Here is my plan for the event. The activity targets community residents, especially the elderly and children. It will be held in the nearby community center. We’ll set up different sections. One section will display traditional folk artworks like paper-cuttings, which can let people directly appreciate their beauty. There will also be a hands-on area for making simple handicrafts under the guidance of our club members. Through this, we can not only inherit and promote traditional folk art but also enrich the cultural life of the community. It will enhance the connection between our school and the community. Looking forward to your feedback. Yours, Li Ming 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
