Everest's growth has to do with the major joining of two nearby river systems.The Kosi river joined with the Arun river around 89,000 years ago,researchers estimated.This change in the area's river system has led to Everest gaining around 15-50 meters in height.That suggests an upward movement rate of about 0.2-0.5 millimeters per year. The geological process at work,researchers said,is called isostatic rebound.Isostatic rebound involves the rise of land masses on Earth's crust when the weight of the surface declines.The crust, Earth's outermost part,floats atop hot,semi-liquid rock.In this case,the joining of the rivers resulted in increased erosion which carried off large amounts of rock and soil.This reduced the weight of the area near Everest. 3 C扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描Ap "Isostatic rebound can be likened to a floating object adjusting its position when weight is removed,"said Jin-Gen Dai of China University of Geosciences in Beijing.Dai is one of the leaders of the study published recently in Nafure Geoscience."When a heavy load,such as ice or eroded rock,is removed from the Earth's crust,the land beneath slowly rises in response,much like a boat rising in water when the goods in it is unloaded,"Dai added.The researchers,who used numerical models to study,estimated that isostatic rebound accounts for only 10 percent of Everest's yearly upward movement,or uplift rate.Dai said that the research shows our planet's changing nature. Even a seemingly unchanging element like Mount Everest is "subject to ongoing geological processes,reminding us that Earth is constantly changing,often in imperceptible ways in our daily lives.” This geological process is seen in other places around the world."A classic example is in Scandinavia,where the land is still rising in response to the melting of thick ice sheets that covered the region during the last Ice Age.This process continues today."Dai said.Study co-writer Adam Smith,a University College London doctoral student,said GPS measurements show the continued rising of Everest and the rest of the Himalayas.This uplift is faster than the continued surface erosion caused by wind,rain and river flow.As this erosion continues,Everest's uplift rate from isostatic rebound may increase,Smith said.Neighboring mountains,including Lhotse,the world's fourth highest,and Makalu,the fifth highest,also get a boost from the same process.Lhotse is experiencing an uplift rate similar to Everest.Makalu has a slightly higher uplift rate. 28.Which of the following probably results in"isostatic rebound"? A.The weight of an object's surface increases. B.All the goods is suddenly unloaded from a boat. C.Heavy loads of rocks are removed from the surface. D.Rock and soil keep accumulating on the Earth's crust. 29.What does the underlined word imperceptible mean in paragraph 4? A.Incredible B.Unnoticeable C.Impressive. D.Distinctive. 30.Which of the following does Dai agree with? A.Mount Everest's uplift brings some eroded rocks. B.Mount Everest has been rising merely in recent years. C.Everest's rising is the evidence of the changing nature of Earth. D.Isostatic rebound is the main factor in Everest's upward movement. 31.What did Adam Smith intend to tell us? 3 CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描ApD A.Everest's uplift is not unique. B.GPS helps little in the research. C.Surface erosion will decrease Everest's uplift. D.Makalu experiences a slower uplift than Everest. D When science fiction and the science of time meet,they invite us into a deep exploration of the nature of time.Despite its presence everywhere in daily life,time remains a mystery,with no definitive definition.Our concept of time may be a mental shortcut,a tool for our limited brains to comprehend change. The English language frequently employs the noun "time,"yet we lack a satisfactory explanation for it.Concerning time,quantum (mechanics and daily experiences often contradict each other,suggesting time's complexity and ambiguous nature.Our mental conception of time may never correspond with its reality in the universe,but this shouldn't stop us from exploring it. Many science fiction quotes touch on time.Ray Cummings'1919 novel,The Girl in the Golden Atom,offers a memorable quote:"Time is what keeps everything from happening at once," implying time's structural role in the universe.Blake Crouch's Recursion presents a contrasting view:"Time is a false image,a concept made out of human memory." Robert Charles Wilson's Spin explores various forms of time,from personal measurement to cosmic scales,emphasizing our challenging relationship with it.S.D.Unwin's One Second Per Second suggests time as chaos within a cosmic plan,with people and civilizations as its playthings. Robert V.S.Redick's Vanishing Point describes time as a trick due to our comprehension of time's flow. Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek says,"Time is a companion who reminds us to cherish every moment,"emphasizing its value.David Brin's Brightness Reef describes time as a cruel judge, punishing even the successful and brilliant.Stephen Baxter's The Time Ships catches time's frightening nature,darkening human achievements in the vastness of time. Time travel,a major topic of science fiction,is often discussed.H.G.Wells'1895 novel The Time Machine poses the enduring question of whether moving backward and forward in time is possible.These quotes from science fiction highlight our troubled relationship with time and encourage us to think more deeply about its reality. 32.What is the overall tone of the text? CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描ApD A.Inquiring. B.Pessimistic. C.Persuasive. D.Definitive. 33.What can be learned about time from paragraph 2? A.Time is easy to understand but has a complex nature in science. B.Time is a common concept in daily life well corresponding with scientific reality. C.Daily experiences often go against scientific understandings of time. D.Quantum physics has no impact on our understanding of time. 34.What does Stephen Baxter's The Time Ships emphasize? A.Time as a companion who reminds us to cherish every moment. B.The insignificance of human successes in the long history of time. C.The possibility to move backward and forward in time at will. D.A false belief due to our comprehension of time's flow. 35.What does the text mainly talk about? A.The history of time and famous quotes in science fiction. B.The definition of time in scientific terms and time travel. C.The relationship between time and daily life D.The science of time and its exploration in science fiction. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Shame has been called our"most dreaded emotional experience."We know the feeling only too well:Our pulse quickens.36The feeling is so bad that we want to escape at all costs.Here are some things you need to know about shame and some tips for how to feel less ofit. Shame and guilt are different emotions. You feel guilty when you think you've done something wrong,but you feel shame when you believe that you are wrong.While guilt arises when you have made a mistake and can fix it,shame develops when you see yourself as the mistake.37 Shame has warning signs. There are many signs that you are experiencing shame.38 And when someone brings up something you feel ashamed about,you may look down and avoid eye contact and talk in a soft voice. 39 4 C扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描A 39 Shame can lead to high blood pressure,stomach problems,insomnia,alcohol or drugs addiction,and eating disorders.One study determined that external shame-the fear that others are judging us negatively is associated with anorexia,while interal shame our negative self-evaluation and self-generated criticism is associated with bulimia. There is a cure for shame. When you have a caring person to share your shameful and otherwise painful stories with,you will be able to fully express yourself and finally release the old,stored,toxic feelings that have been weighing you down.40 At the same time,you will stop seeing yourself as bad or wrong. The change you will feel is profound A.Our faces flush. B.Our eyes light up. C.Shame can harm your physical health. D.Shame may make it harder for you to stay focused. E.Free of those,you can shift your beliefs about yourself. F.The critic inside your head tells you that you are a bad,worthless person. G.You avoid being the center of attention and wish you could shrink into the walls. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）》 第一节（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。 The first class I went to in college was philosophy,and it changed my life.Our first assignment was to write a response paper to an essay by Albert Camus.
