Edith Freni's. C. Marshall Duke's. D. Christina DePasquale's B The Arctic trip with Quark Expeditions is an amazing experience, and I am thankful for it. However, it also makes me realize our presence here sounds pointless in this great setting, like we are visitors from another world Our 10-day journey explored the Svalbard islands in northern Norway. At our farthest point, the North Pole was still 6oo miles away, but I had never been so far north. It felt like we were at the top of the world ,_ The story of humans in the Norwegian Arctic is all about looting (掠夺) the natural world for fur coal and other resources (资源).The first recorded visit was by Dutch sailor Willem Barentsz in June 1596, searching for a northeast passage to China. History presenter Federico Gargiulo explained tha this discovery put the Arctic on the map. That attracted people to come and try to take those resources. Today, there are environmental controls on visiting this area, On our first day, we watched videos that laid down the law: Do not touch or take anything, and stay with your armed guide for protection from polar bears. We also washed our shoes and feet before boarding or leaving the shir to make the land free of pollution Tourists pay a lot and travel far to see Arctic wildlife. On our last night, we finally got a close-ur of a polar bear. Everyone rushed to the decks (甲板) with cameras. We saw the bear swimming towards us, and as it got closer, we could make out its black eyes and rounded ears. Ouark Expeditions' guides are experienced in different fields. I learned a lot from them. The guide Austin Hart's word's impressed me: "It's not much of a human planet. Dinosaurs were around for 18o million years. I don't know if humans have that long." As I stood among ice and snowy mountains, this made me feel unbelievably small 24. How does the author feel after the journey? A. Our presence fits in with the planet B. It's too cold on the Svalbard islands C. Human beings are tiny in this world D. We must stop using natural resources. 25. Why did Willem Barentsz come to the Norwegian Arctic? A. To draw a map of Norway B. To find a northeast path to China C. To explore the local history D. To search for a passage to Holland 26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Strict Rules on visiting the Arctic B. The rising number of tourists C. The measures to protect wildlife D. Useful tips on watching brrds 27. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A history book B. A news report C. A research paper D. A travel magazine __ C Livestreaming (直 播) through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is an increasingly popular way to sell goods online. It usually lasts between 5 and 10 minutes, and someone promotes a product. Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link. We analyzed (分析) 99,451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with actual sales cases. In terms of time, that is equal to over 2 million 30-second television adyertisements. To determine the emotional (情绪的) expression of the salesperson, we used two deep learning models: a face model and an emotion model. The face model discovers the presence or absence of a face in a frame of a video stream. The emotion model then determines the probability that a face is exhibiting any of the six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear or disgust For example, smiling signals a high probability of happiness, while an off-putting expression usually points toward anger. We wanted to see the effect of emotions expressed at different times in the sales cases so we counted probabilities for each emotion for all 62 million frames in our database. We then combined these probabilities with other possible aspects that might drive sales-such as price and produc characteristics-to judge the effect of emotion We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople show more negative emotions-such as anger and disgust-the volume of sales went down. But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople show high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise. A likely explanation, based on our research, is that smiling can be disgusting because it lacks true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller. A seller's happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the customer's expense 28. What can we know about the livestreaming to sell goods online? A. It challenges the physical economy. B. It helps big company sell all goods C. It is very convenient for the buyers D. It helps the sellers develop fixed expressions 29 What does the underlined word "off-putting" mean in paragraph 3? A. Unhappy. B.Awkward. C. Surprised. D. Frightened. 30. How do customers feel about the seller's smiling? A. They feel thankful B. They feel delighted C. They feel cheated. D. They feel so tired 6 31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Live streamers Sell Products Successfully B. Smiling Can Increase the Sales in Reality C. Emotions and Faces: What's the Difference D. Expressions Affect Selling Products Online D When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals, We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that kills the most people is one that you are familiar with: the mosquito While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male mosauitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits (传播) saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be minor or as serious as death Because a mosauito can bite many people in its life, it can carry deadly diseases from one person to another very easily. More than 70o million people become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases. In some households, mosquito nets are placed over beds to protect people against being bitten Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the number of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well Mosauitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. But these sprays may also harm other plants or animals. Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry 32. Why does the passage mention dangerous animals like tigers and sharks? A. To compare different animals B. To lead into the topic about mosquitoes. C. To show how dangerous tigers and sharks are. _ D. To show people's misunderstanding of dangerous animals 33. What can we learn about mosauitoes? A. Female mosquitoes might transmit diseases to humans. B. The saliva of female mosquitoes contains deadly diseases C. Male mosauitoes and female mosquitoes have the same eating habits D. More than 70o million people die from the diseases carried by the mosquitoes 34. What's paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Scientists are making efforts to kill mosquitoes B. Some useful measures are taken to kill mosquitoes. C. There is no perfect solution to the mosauito problem D. Mosauitoes' natural enemies could protect human beings 35. What's the author's attitude towards the future of solving the mosauito problem? B. Positive. C.Unclear. A. Doubtful. D. Negative. 第二节(共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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The oral exam (口试) is a long-held tradition in many schools and subjects. 36Students must then answer properly, using materials they have learned in preparation for the exam. Showing plentiful knowledge of the subject results in passing the exam or an excellent grade 37 As part of the completion of a program at the undergraduate or graduate levels, students might need to prove their knowledge and understanding of a subject area. Many science majors finish Bachelor's studies with oral exams, or a particular program may require oral and written exams that show how a student has taken in all the materials learned in a four-year period. Usually study guides are available for these exams. 38 One valuable tip for students to succeed is to practice before the exam. 39 But by answering questions classmates or family ask them students can do as many practices as possible. On the day of the exam, students should dress plainly but respectfully, and in keeping with any dress requirements. Students taking these exams should remember how much they have learned, which is hopefully quite a lot. 40 When waiting outside the test room, taking a deep breath and reminding themselves that the oral exam is a nice way to show off how much knowledge has been learned from 8 teachers can help overcome stressful moments.

They may not be able to predict all the questions D. Usually, students performing well are experienced E. Nervousness can even make the smartest student get stuck F.
