B Carl Allamby started his car repair business at the tender age of 19.Over the years, it had grown into two shops with 11 workers,but Allamby had become uneasy,longing for something more.Therefore,at the age of 34,he decided to go for his bachelor's degree in business management. After taking classes part-time over the next five years,Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree,which later turned out to be the best thing that ever happened.Biology classes reawakened a childhood dream that he had hidden somewhere deep within himself Born in East Cleveland,Ohio,Allamby was raised by his stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door.His schaol didn't offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed(医学预科的)path.Even if it had,. doing well in school could prove dangerous."You could get into a lot of trouble just for being the class nerd(讨厌的人)，”Allamby said.So he set aside the thoughts of becoming a doctor and started fixing cars instead. But a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class at age 39.He was ready to live his dream.With the support of his family he soon decided to skip business school te take science classes.Becoming a doctor was late and he would become a nurse instead,he reasoned.But Allamby's chemistry professor told him"Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work.You will go a long way."The professor was right and Allamby did very well. In 2015,Allamby cut ties with his past,and then he started at Northeast Ohio Medical University.In 2019,Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby,MD.He took a job in 试卷第4页，共10页 emergency medicine at Cleveland Clinic Akron General. "How many people can do something so brand-new at such a late stage in their life?"he said."My age and past career are all good reasons why I shouldn't be here.

C Final exams are around the corner-but that won't stop some teenagers putting in the least effort.This may be because their brains aren't developed enough to properly assess how high the stakes(利害关系)are,and adapt their behaviour accordingly. Catherine Insel,at Hfaryard University,and her team asked adolescents between the ages of 13 and 20 to play a game while monitoring(their brains.In some rounds of the game,participants courd earn 20 cents for a correct response,while an incorrect 试卷第5页，共10页 one wouid cost them 10 cents.But in rounds with higher stakes,correct responses were worth a doliar,and wrong answers lost the participants 50 cents. The team found that while the older volunteers performed better in the high stakes rounds,the younger ones didn't-their performance didn't change in line with whether the stakes were low or high.And the older the volunteers were,the more improved their performance was. When the team looked at the brain activity of the volunteers,they found that their ability to improve their performance was linked to how developed their brains were.A region in the brain,which continues to develop until we are at least 25 years old, seemed to be particularly important.The findings explain why some teenagers are so unconcerned when it comes to hazardous behaviors.They are much likely to drive dangerously,for instance,especially when one of their friends is nearby. Insel thinks schools should reconsider the way they test performance in teenagers. "This study suggests it's not a good idea to evaluate sshool performance in a single final exam",she says.A better idea would be to use a variety of smaller tests,conducted throughout the year. It's not all bad uews for teens,though.Teenagers put the same amount ofeffort into tasks that aren't"important",and start to prefer hobbies to school.It could be a good thing,allowing teenagers to learn complex social skills,for example. 28.Why did the researchers set different bets()in the game? A.To create the varied risk levels of the game B.To meet the needs of different participants. C.To better monitor participants'brains. D.To teach how to make money. 29.What does the underlined word "hazardous"probably mean? A.Addictive. B.Violent C.Risky. D.Specific. 30.What should be kept in mind while evaluating students'performance? A.Examination is not a good means of evaluating students. B The items in exams should not be too difficult. C.It should not be judged by only one exam D.Exam-focused education should not be adopted. 试卷第6页，共10页 31 What is Insel's attitude to teenagers'putting effort into"unimportant"tasks? A.Doubtful. B.Favorable. C.Unclear. D.Negative. D The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don't know.By next year,half of the calls we receive will be scams().We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools,apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through.Unfortunately,it's too little,too late.By the time these"solutions"( become widely available,scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.In the near future,it's not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt.Soon you will also question whether the voice you're hearing is actually real. That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation()and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year's I/O Conference,a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection. These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse.The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision,.A decade of data breaches(数据侵入)of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother's name,and far more.Armed with this knowledge,they're able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people.This means,for example,that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller's, tricking you into "confirming"your address,mother's name,and card number. Scammers follow money,so companies will be the worst hit.A lot of business is still done over the phone,and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships.Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually. We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks.Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real.That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images,showing when and who they were made by,or abandoning phone calls 试卷第7页，共10页 altogether and moving towards data-based communications-using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp,which can be tied to your identity. Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose,and the problem-is only going to get harder from here on out. 32.Taking advantage of the new technologies,scammer can A.spread information widely B.damage databases easily C.start campaigns rapidly D.aim at targets precisely 33.What does the passage imply? A.Honesty is the best policy. B.Technologies can be double-edged. C.There are more solutions than problems. D.Credibility holds the key to development. 3.4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted B.Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls C.Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous D.How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 The Art of Slow Reading If you are reading this article in print,chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written.And if you are reading this online,you may not even finish a fifth.35 They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion. So are we getting stupider?Actually,our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information.Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content.Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts.36 But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back,think 试卷第8页，共10页 carefully,and relate all the facts to each other. -37A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading.They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts,and the ability to process them fully.What's to be done then?Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic.They feel that get away from technology for a while is the answer.38Personally.Im not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article,I am switching constantly between sites,skimming too often,absorbing too little.Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change.I read essays and articles not in hasd copy but as PDFs.I suspect that many readers are in a similar position.39You can download a computer application called Freedom,which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection.Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet,you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone.If you're still reading my article,that is slow reading. A.The Internet is probably part of the problem. B.Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading. C.Because of the Internet,we have become very good at collecting information. Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week. B.But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly,help is at hand. F.Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular. 6.These are the two findings from the recent research projects. 第三部分词汇运用（共12分） 用括号里所给提示词完成句子翻译。（共6小题，每小题2分，共12分） 40.20世纪60年代，一群自行车爱好者想出了一个主意。(come up with) In the 1960s, 41.我建议你尝试阅读简化版的经典文学作品。(recommend) simplified classic literature. 42.在日常生活中减少塑料袋使用很重要。(cut back on) 试卷第9页，共10页 43.他让我把燃料倒进火箭。(pour..into.…) 44.我们不会占用您太多的时间。(akep) 45.做老师意味着你有机会在孩子们敞开心扉、渴望学习的时候，走进他们的心 灵。(have access to) The thing about being a teacher is that when they are open and eager to learn. 第四部分：书面表达（20分) 假设你是红星中学学生会主席李华，你所在学校拟在下周开一个“如何高效 地学习英语”的讲座。请你根据以下要点给Jim教授写一封信，邀请他给学 生做这次讲座。内容包括： 1.讲座时间地点及目的 2.讲座内容 参考词汇：策略strategy 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.信的开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 Dear Professor Jim, Yours faithfully, Li Hua 试卷第10页，共10页
