Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Getting Over The “Ick” Getting the “ick” can ruin a budding romance or an ongoing date. It’s that sudden feeling of disgust ___1___ makes you want to back away. Maybe you heard them make an awkward noise, mock someone unfairly, or eat messily. Once the “ick” sets in, it’s hard to shake off, leaving you questioning ___2___ to move forward. Disgust, though often overlooked in research, is a strong, primal (原始的) emotion. Like fear or anger, it’s triggered in specific situations and ___3___ (vary) between individuals. While some reactions are universal — like disgust at rotting food or unhygienic acts — people with high sensitivity to disgust might feel it even in slight situations, such as a partner’s ___4___ (crack) lips or messy eating. Disgust evolved to protect us from harm, ___5___ spoiled food or moral wrongdoing. However, when it rushed into our romantic lives, it raises questions: Is it a signal to stop, or ___6___ we can work through? Studies show that heightened disgust sensitivity is linked to emotional challenges, such as low desire or aversion. In relationships, mismatched thresholds for disgust can cause conflicts — one partner’s limits might feel restrictive to the other. Overcoming the “ick” involves ___7___ (reduce) disgust sensitivity. Disgust can be reduced in much the same way as we work to reduce a person’s fear: Gradual exposure to increasingly greater levels of the stimulus. In other words, start small and increase your exposure to the thing that makes you disgusted and your response will become ___8___ (dramatic). If the “ick” is tied to a person rather than an act, reflection is key. Strong initial feelings of connection may be worth working ___9___ the discomfort. Relationships often allow us to overlook flaws, _____10_____ if the trigger is a true dealbreaker — something morally unacceptable — it’s time to trust your instincts and move on. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. prompt B. grounded C. pile D. debugging E. coincidence F. literally G. boosting H. fictionally I. bear J. reasoning K. grant From talk to action The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually an ominous warning. In the real world, it is a prediction — and a welcome one. The field of robotics has made impressive progress in the past year, as researchers in universities and industry have applied advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to machines. As a result, robots are becoming more capable, easier to program and able to explain what they are doing. Investors ____11____ into robotics startups. OpenAi the creator of ChatGPT, which gave up on robots a few years ago, has changed its mind and started hiring a new robotics team. When brought to ____12____ upon the physical world, previously disembodied AI now appears to have enormous potential. Robots can inspire fear. Human beings are trained from birth by Hollywood to be afraid of them — the latest incarnation (化身) of the ancient tale of the inventor who loses control of his creation. And even if robots are not ____13____ the murderous machines of the “Terminator” films, they can kill off decent-paying jobs in factories and warehouses. Nevertheless, the latest advances in robotics will bring real and substantial benefits. One is that new “multi-modal” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data from robotic sensors and actuators. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect ____14____ robots a degree of common sense — in this case knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. And like a chatbot, a robot can be told to modify its behaviour simply by changing a text ____15____, something that would previously have required elaborate reprogramming. Another benefit is that the new models enable robots to explain the ____16____ behind their actions. That is useful when they behave in unexpected or unwelcome ways. So long as robots’ brains are not mysterious black boxes, programming and ____17____ them is fairly straightforward. The new models are also less likely to hallucinate (产生幻觉) — tech-speak for “make things up” — because their perception is ____18____ in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match. That makes them safer and more reliable. And one more benefit is that robots are getting better at learning quickly through imitation and at generalizing from one skill to another. This opens the door for robots to move out of factories and warehouses. Several companies and research groups are using the latest AI models to build humanoid robots, on the basis that most of the world, unlike an assembly line, has been designed for people to move around in. Labour markets across the rich world are tight — and getting tighter as societies age. As well as ____19____ productivity while work forces shrink, more capable robots could cook and clean, and care for the aged and the needy. Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living. South Korea, Japan and China are all in the top five countries with the most robots for each manufacturing worker. It is no ____20____ that they are also ageing rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well flip from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. I imagine a young man, a senior in high school. His academic performance is good enough. However, just as his parents are about to send the ___21___ check to a college where he has been accepted, the young man admits that he doesn’t want to go to college. He wants to work, to earn a living, to be out on his own. Children have to build their own lives. But parents don’t want them to commit errors that will make it harder to build those lives. How should children and their parents think about this ___22___? College is often discussed as a(n) ___23___ in the future: You pay up front so you can benefit abundantly for the rest of your life. The financial benefits of a college education over the past decades indeed look great. However, past performance won’t necessarily ensure future returns. To make the plots more ___24___, from 1989 to 2016, college tuition went up by 98 percent. This has led to a lot of student-loan debt. It may be worth the cost for some kids who want to go into a field that requires a college degree, but others don’t know what they want to do after college, so for them college is like buying an expensive ___25___ for future employment. Still, it’s worth noting that in 2019, just 66 percent of college graduates were in jobs requiring a college degree. What’s more, as of 2010, only 27 percent were in jobs related to their college major. Perhaps you don’t primarily use ___26___ analysis to make decision about your life or your child’s. But everyone wants to be happy, and wants their child to be happy as well. So let’s look at the ___27___ effects of college. Some scholars have found that, when controlling for other factors in life such as income and religious faith, education by itself has no independent explanatory ___28___ over happiness. Some actually believe that education is negatively linked to happiness, and hypothesize that some college attendees exchange life satisfaction for their academic ___29___. And there’s all that student debt to consider. According to a Gallup study, student debt is negatively correlated with financial and physical health and sense of purpose, and is ___30___ low well-being on these dimensions for as long as 25 years after graduation. ___31___, the only thing we can say with assurance is, “It depends.” On what? On the unique ___32___ of each person. A child’s gifts, circumstances, and career ambitions all affect whether college is the right choice. Most of all, it depends on what they want to do. As a longtime academic, I can assure you that the No. 1 ___33___ of a failure to thrive in college is not wanting to be there in the first place. That may be obvious to would-be students, but to many of their parents it isn’t. The college decision is often as much about the parents as it is about their kids. It’s easy to ___34___ our own desires onto our kids -- to try to see our own potential come alive through them. But it’s a mistake. No one is a start-up enterprise, and there is not just one path to success. The college-for-all fever that has overtaken much of our culture ___35___ gifts that our kids have to develop and share. In fact, building their life with integrity and grit is what all parents could ever ask. 21. A. security B. deposit C. information D. routine 22. A. dilemma B. landscape C. consequence D. disappointment 23. A. shelter B. investment C. prospect D. victory 24. A. evident B. compelling C. complicated D. realistic 25. A. insurance B. scam C. maintenance D. lesson 26. A. trial-error B. question-answer C. cost-benefit D. pros-cons 27. A. health B. society C. happiness D. education 28. A. concern B. power C. favor D. advantage 29. A. prejudice B. panic C. ambition D. unemployment 30. A. applied to B. blamed on C. informed of D. associated with 31. A. However B. Therefore C. Otherwise D. Furthermore 32. A. fates B. decisions C. attributes D. inputs 33. A. qualification B. coverage C. witness D. predictor 34. A. project B. owe C. adjust D. prefer 35. A. highlights B. justifies C. ignores D. visualizes Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) EMMA CZORNOBAJ was driving down a busy four-lane highway near Montreal late in the day on June 27, 2010, when she spotted several ducklings wandering helplessly along the concrete median (中央隔离带). She quickly stopped her car in the left lane, near the ducks. Witnesses claimed that, without turning on her warning lights or closing the driver’s side door, she jumped out of the car and tried to catch the ducks, which she planned to take home. Then a truck swerved into the right lane to avoid hitting Emma’s parked vehicle. Behind that truck was a motorcycle. Andre Roy, with his 16-year-old daughter riding on the back, crashed into Emma’s car. Both he and his daughter died. A Globe and Mail headline in June 2014 announcing the start of the trial in the Superior Court of Quebec, Montreal Division, underlined the tragedy: “Jury hears case of fatal crash caused by act of kindness”. Emma was charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing death. If found guilty, she could be sentenced to life in prison. “I know it was a mistake,” Emma told the court. She considered the crash to be an accident and testified that she didn’t see other cars when she stopped and assumed it was “safe”. Her lawyer Labelle noted that Andre Roy was driving his motorcycle over the speed limit, which may have contributed to the collision. While Labelle described Emma’s actions as “stupid”, he had a larger point: “You are in the presence here of an accident with no criminal intention”. THE VERDICT The jury ruled that Emma was guilty of criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing death. Justice Bianca Pereault explained, “She knowingly engaged in risk taking that she should have foreseen would put other drivers’ lives in danger.” Emma was sentenced to 90 days in jail plus three years probation (缓刑), including 240 hours of community service. She also wouldn’t be allowed to drive for ten years. She appealed the sentences, claiming that losing her license for that long was extreme. The three-judge panel on the appeals court disagreed, ruling that the severe driving ban made up for her “exceptionally lenient (从轻的)” jail time given her criminal convictions. As Prosecutor (检察官) Annie Claude Chasse told reporters after the initial trial: “What we hope is that a clear message is sent to society that we do not stop on the highway for animals. It’s not worth it.” 36. Which of the following is TRUE about the accident? A. Emma left the car door open to let ducklings in. B. The ducklings were crossing the four-lane highway. C. Emma failed to take steps to alert other drivers. D. The motorcycle was originally on the highway’s right side. 37. The underlined word “appealed" probably means ________. A. learned an important lesson B. took sth for granted C. took no notice of D. asked to change decision 38. Which can be inferred from the passage? A. The media was highly critical of what Emma had done on the Highway. B. People with no criminal intention should not be held responsible for an accident. C. Emma could have been jailed longer but for the long-term ban on driving. D. Hitting animals on the highway may cause damage to the vehicle. 39. What of the following may best summarize the main idea of this passage? A. Drive more slowly for the sake of others’ safety. B. Kindness is no excuse where safety is concerned. C. Speeding on highways pays a heavy price. D. Tragedies come as a result of being absent-minded.

DESTINY (C) Surgical students are less capable than their ancestors because they spend too much time with screens and not enough with physical materials. These claims from Roger Kneebone, professor of surgical education at Imperial College London, were widely reported last week. According to Kneebone, today’s students lack the dexterity that is important for sewing, cutting and stitching. He argues that this is because, instead of taking part in creative subjects that involve manual work during their school education, “a lot of things are reduced to swiping on a two-dimensional flat screen”. There hasn’t been much research into the effects of smartphones on surgical skills. However, one 2012 study found no statistically significant change in digital dexterity among frequent smartphone users, and it did find a significant improvement in reaction time. If anything, says Pete Etchells, a psychologist at Bath Spa University, UK, the use of digital technology of any kind — rather than smartphones specifically — is linked with a higher level of surgical skill. One 2007 study, for example, found that young surgeons who played a lot of video games made fewer errors in surgery and worked faster than those who didn’t. A randomized, controlled trial in 2012 found that surgery simulators(模拟) were less effective at training surgeons than just letting them play on games consoles. These were small studies that merely found modest effects, warns Etchells, but they don’t paint a picture of digital technology damaging the core skills of surgery. More broadly, says Andrew Przybylski of the Oxford Internet Institute, UK, Kneebone’s concerns and the resulting coverage are part of a wider reaction to the role of technology in our lives. Around a decade ago, we anticipated that digital experiences could lead to improvements in various kinds of real-world competence, such as brain-training games enhancing cognitive performance or video games boosting surgical dexterity. “As those hopes haven’t materialized, we rightly feel disappointed,” says Przybylski. There is also a society-wide fear about new technologies, which is often unfounded. Przybylski’s own work has found that, contrary to widespread concern around technology and young people, screen time seems to have a small, positive effect on teenagers in all but the most extreme of cases. “Collective anxiety about the role of smartphones, and social media companies, fuel this sort of fear of technology,” he says. Ultimately, Kneebone may turn out to be right that the decline in crafts and handiwork at school is reducing the quality of the surgical student intake. But there seems little evidence of it yet. In fact, it is probably a positive thing that our youngest surgeons are digitally literate. In the very near future, a surgeon’s ability to interact with technology — be that surgical robots or augmented reality — will become increasingly important. 43. What does the underlined word dexterity mean? A. Power of concentration. B. Experience of performing surgery. C. Capacity to use words or mind. D. Skills related to hand work. 44. What can we learn from the studies mentioned in Paragraph 3 and 4? A. People are confident that video games will boost cognitive performance. B. Surgeons won’t be less skillful when exposed to digital technology. C. Digital applications except smartphones strengthen surgical skills. D. Most surgeons are modest about their improved working efficiency. 45. The perceived decline of medical students’ surgical competence is due to___________. A. people’s fear about technology that is backed up by scientific evidence B. people’s failure to see the positive effects of digital technology emerge C. the increased time teenagers spent using smartphones and social media D. the decreased access to handiwork and crafts required in medical school 46. Which of the following may serve as the best title for this passage? A. Surgical Skills, Need Enhancing? B. Digital Devices, Enhance Reaction Time? C. Surgeons, Be Trained as Digital Natives? D. Screen Time, Bad for Young Surgeons? Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Going to extremes James Kelvin recently jumped out of a plane over a mountain, and then snowboarded down it. Last year he tried base jumping and whitewater kayaking. You might think James is crazy, but he’s one of a growing number of extreme sports fans. These sports are being invented and developed all the time and one thing they all have in common is danger. And one thing they all share is the high risk factor. ____47____ One popular theory is that extreme sports have evolved as a reaction to our increasingly safe lifestyles. In the past, just staying alive and finding enough food to eat was a daily challenge but now in most developed countries, that is no longer the case. ____48____ In developing countries where life is more difficult and people’s time is dedicated to the basics of day-to-day living or simply surviving, there is no time, inclination or necessity for them. Another theory argues that extreme sports attract adrenaline junkies (对肾上腺素上瘾的人). (69) ____49____ Adrenaline is a chemical released in the body as a response to stress and danger, but for some people feeling gives a heightened sense of being alive, a feeling they want to experience again and again. However, for psychologist Eric Brymer, neither of these theories is accurate. Having interviewed many extreme sports men and women, he doesn’t believe they are thrill-seekers who risk their lives for an adrenaline high, or people who find modern life too safe so feel the need to take risks. ____50____ They understand the environment, task and their own level of skill and ability — emotional, physical and psychological — so well that for them the focus is on controlling all these things and developing as individuals. Extreme sports are their way of enjoying life to the full and being the best they can be. They are expressing a wish for life, not a foolish death wish — something they cannot do in their normal work roles. Whichever theory you believe, you may be able to benefit from some extreme sports. They aren’t all as dangerous as base jumping. So why not give one a go? A. So far, there have been a couple of theories interpreting the popularity of extreme sports. B. These are people who do them for the danger, because they get an adrenaline rush and feel a “high” when they participate. C. Why would anyone want to take such risks and push themselves beyond their limits? D. Instead, not everyone enjoys the thrill of extreme sports--for some people they are a terrifying experience. E. In contrast, his research shows that for participants, risk-taking doesn’t matter at all. F. As a result, some people feel the need to experience the thrill of risk-taking to counteract this. IV. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following three passages. 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. Ann Grand：a visual thinker Ann Grand is a visual thinker.When somebody speaks to her the words are instantly translated into pictures, like a video in her head. Unlike most people, her thoughts move from video-like images to generalizations and concepts. Furthermore, her memories usually appear in her imagination in order of time, and the image visualized are always specific. For example, if she thinks about a chimney, she sees detailed pictures, like the one in her old house, and then those in her hometown. That one word can turn into a full-length video in her head.Grand’s mind works like the Internet search engine which produces dozens of images of an object a user is searching for. Visual thinking has enabled Grand to build entire systems in her imagination, which works similarly to a computer program because it can produce three-dimensional design simulations. This was important to her as an equipment designer for the livestock industry. Before she started construction on her designs, she would test-run the equipment in her mind. She formed mental pictures of her designs in every possible situation, with different sizes and breeds of cattle and in different weather conditions. This process made it possible for her to correct mistakes before construction started. Grand’s mind is also sensitive to details, which was important in her work with cattle. Her sharp awareness of the visual world led to noteworthy observations about animals. She noticed many little things that most people would not consider that scared the cattle. For example, a coat on a fence or a pipe on the floor would frighten them away. Grand’s visualization abilities have also helped her understand the animals she has worked with. This led her to create designs ranging from sweeping, curved fences intended to reduce the stress experienced by animals that were going to be killed to systems for handling sick cattle and pigs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Getting Over The “Ick” Getting the “ick” can ruin a budding romance or an ongoing date. It’s that sudden feeling of disgust ___1___ makes you want to back away. Maybe you heard them make an awkward noise, mock someone unfairly, or eat messily. Once the “ick” sets in, it’s hard to shake off, leaving you questioning ___2___ to move forward. Disgust, though often overlooked in research, is a strong, primal (原始的) emotion. Like fear or anger, it’s triggered in specific situations and ___3___ (vary) between individuals. While some reactions are universal — like disgust at rotting food or unhygienic acts — people with high sensitivity to disgust might feel it even in slight situations, such as a partner’s ___4___ (crack) lips or messy eating. Disgust evolved to protect us from harm, ___5___ spoiled food or moral wrongdoing. However, when it rushed into our romantic lives, it raises questions: Is it a signal to stop, or ___6___ we can work through? Studies show that heightened disgust sensitivity is linked to emotional challenges, such as low desire or aversion. In relationships, mismatched thresholds for disgust can cause conflicts — one partner’s limits might feel restrictive to the other. Overcoming the “ick” involves ___7___ (reduce) disgust sensitivity. Disgust can be reduced in much the same way as we work to reduce a person’s fear: Gradual exposure to increasingly greater levels of the stimulus. In other words, start small and increase your exposure to the thing that makes you disgusted and your response will become ___8___ (dramatic). If the “ick” is tied to a person rather than an act, reflection is key. Strong initial feelings of connection may be worth working ___9___ the discomfort. Relationships often allow us to overlook flaws, _____10_____ if the trigger is a true dealbreaker — something morally unacceptable — it’s time to trust your instincts and move on. 【答案】1. that 2. whether 3. varies 4. cracked 5. like##including 6. something 7. reducing 8. less dramatic 9. through##against 10. but 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了厌恶这种情绪对人的影响。 1题详解】 考查强调句。句意：这种突然的厌恶感让你想要退后。此处为强调句：it is+被强调部分+that/who+其他，被强调部分为that sudden feeling of disgust，故填that。 【2题详解】 考查疑问词。句意：一旦“恶心”来了，就很难摆脱，让你怀疑是否要继续前进。此处为“疑问词+不定式”结构，且表示“是否”应用whether。故填whether。 【3题详解】 考查时态。句意：就像恐惧或愤怒一样，它是在特定的情况下触发的，因人而异。作并列谓语，且陈述事实用一般现在时，主语为it，谓语用三单形式。故填varies。 【4题详解】 考查形容词。句意：虽然有些反应是普遍的，比如对腐烂的食物或不卫生的行为感到厌恶，但对厌恶高度敏感的人即使在轻微的情况下也会感到厌恶，比如伴侣的嘴唇开裂或吃得一团糟。修饰名词lips用形容词cracked“破裂的，有裂纹的”。故填cracked。 【5题详解】 考查介词。句意：厌恶进化是为了保护我们免受伤害，比如/包括变质的食物或不道德的行为。后跟名词作宾语，表示“比如”或“包含”应用介词like或including。故填like/including。 【6题详解】 考查代词。句意：然而，当它闯入我们的浪漫生活时，问题就来了：这是一个停止的信号，还是我们可以解决的问题？此处表示“某事”应用不定代词something，作表语。故填something。 【7题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：克服“恶心”需要降低厌恶敏感性。短语involve doing sth.表示“涉及做某事”。故填reducing。 【8题详解】 考查比较级。句意：换句话说，从小事做起，增加你对让你厌恶的事情的接触，你的反应就会变得不那么剧烈。作表语，且表示“不那么剧烈的”应用形容词dramatic的比较级，在前面加less。故填less dramatic。 【9题详解】 考查介词。句意：最初强烈的联系感可能值得解决不适。短语work through/against表示“克服，解决”。故填through/against。 【10题详解】 考查连词。句意：感情常常让我们忽略缺点，但如果导火索是真正的分手者——道德上不可接受的事情——是时候相信你的直觉，继续前进了。结合前后文语境可知为转折关系，应用连词but。故填but。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

In science fiction that is usually an ominous warning. In the real world, it is a prediction — and a welcome one. The field of robotics has made impressive progress in the past year, as researchers in universities and industry have applied advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to machines. As a result, robots are becoming more capable, easier to program and able to explain what they are doing. Investors ____11____ into robotics startups. OpenAi the creator of ChatGPT, which gave up on robots a few years ago, has changed its mind and started hiring a new robotics team. When brought to ____12____ upon the physical world, previously disembodied AI now appears to have enormous potential. Robots can inspire fear. Human beings are trained from birth by Hollywood to be afraid of them — the latest incarnation (化身) of the ancient tale of the inventor who loses control of his creation. And even if robots are not ____13____ the murderous machines of the “Terminator” films, they can kill off decent-paying jobs in factories and warehouses. Nevertheless, the latest advances in robotics will bring real and substantial benefits. One is that new “multi-modal” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data from robotic sensors and actuators. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect ____14____ robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. And like a chatbot, a robot can be told to modify its behaviour simply by changing a text ____15____, something that would previously have required elaborate reprogramming. Another benefit is that the new models enable robots to explain the ____16____ behind their actions. That is useful when they behave in unexpected or unwelcome ways. So long as robots’ brains are not mysterious black boxes, programming and ____17____ them is fairly straightforward. The new models are also less likely to hallucinate (产生幻觉) — tech-speak for “make things up” — because their perception is ____18____ in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match. That makes them safer and more reliable. And one more benefit is that robots are getting better at learning quickly through imitation and at generalizing from one skill to another. This opens the door for robots to move out of factories and warehouses. Several companies and research groups are using the latest AI models to build humanoid robots, on the basis that most of the world, unlike an assembly line, has been designed for people to move around in. Labour markets across the rich world are tight — and getting tighter as societies age. As well as ____19____ productivity while work forces shrink, more capable robots could cook and clean, and care for the aged and the needy. Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living. South Korea, Japan and China are all in the top five countries with the most robots for each manufacturing worker. It is no ____20____ that they are also ageing rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well flip from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. 【答案】11. C 12. I 13. F 14. K 15. A 16. J 17. D 18. B 19. G 20.

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. I imagine a young man, a senior in high school. His academic performance is good enough. However, just as his parents are about to send the ___21___ check to a college where he has been accepted, the young man admits that he doesn’t want to go to college. He wants to work, to earn a living, to be out on his own. Children have to build their own lives. But parents don’t want them to commit errors that will make it harder to build those lives. How should children and their parents think about this ___22___? College is often discussed as a(n) ___23___ in the future: You pay up front so you can benefit abundantly for the rest of your life. The financial benefits of a college education over the past decades indeed look great. However, past performance won’t necessarily ensure future returns. To make the plots more ___24___, from 1989 to 2016, college tuition went up by 98 percent. This has led to a lot of student-loan debt. It may be worth the cost for some kids who want to go into a field that requires a college degree, but others don’t know what they want to do after college, so for them college is like buying an expensive ___25___ for future employment. Still, it’s worth noting that in 2019, just 66 percent of college graduates were in jobs requiring a college degree. What’s more, as of 2010, only 27 percent were in jobs related to their college major. Perhaps you don’t primarily use ___26___ analysis to make decision about your life or your child’s. But everyone wants to be happy, and wants their child to be happy as well. So let’s look at the ___27___ effects of college. Some scholars have found that, when controlling for other factors in life such as income and religious faith, education by itself has no independent explanatory ___28___ over happiness. Some actually believe that education is negatively linked to happiness, and hypothesize that some college attendees exchange life satisfaction for their academic ___29___. And there’s all that student debt to consider. According to a Gallup study, student debt is negatively correlated with financial and physical health and sense of purpose, and is ___30___ low well-being on these dimensions for as long as 25 years after graduation. ___31___, the only thing we can say with assurance is, “It depends.” On what? On the unique ___32___ of each person. A child’s gifts, circumstances, and career ambitions all affect whether college is the right choice. Most of all, it depends on what they want to do. As a longtime academic, I can assure you that the No. 1 ___33___ of a failure to thrive in college is not wanting to be there in the first place. That may be obvious to would-be students, but to many of their parents it isn’t. The college decision is often as much about the parents as it is about their kids. It’s easy to ___34___ our own desires onto our kids -- to try to see our own potential come alive through them. But it’s a mistake. No one is a start-up enterprise, and there is not just one path to success. The college-for-all fever that has overtaken much of our culture ___35___ gifts that our kids have to develop and share. In fact, building their life with integrity and grit is what all parents could ever ask. 21. A. security B. deposit C. information D. routine 22.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) EMMA CZORNOBAJ was driving down a busy four-lane highway near Montreal late in the day on June 27, 2010, when she spotted several ducklings wandering helplessly along the concrete median (中央隔离带). She quickly stopped her car in the left lane, near the ducks. Witnesses claimed that, without turning on her warning lights or closing the driver’s side door, she jumped out of the car and tried to catch the ducks, which she planned to take home. Then a truck swerved into the right lane to avoid hitting Emma’s parked vehicle. Behind that truck was a motorcycle. Andre Roy, with his 16-year-old daughter riding on the back, crashed into Emma’s car. Both he and his daughter died. A Globe and Mail headline in June 2014 announcing the start of the trial in the Superior Court of Quebec, Montreal Division, underlined the tragedy: “Jury hears case of fatal crash caused by act of kindness”. Emma was charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing death. If found guilty, she could be sentenced to life in prison. “I know it was a mistake,” Emma told the court. She considered the crash to be an accident and testified that she didn’t see other cars when she stopped and assumed it was “safe”. Her lawyer Labelle noted that Andre Roy was driving his motorcycle over the speed limit, which may have contributed to the collision. While Labelle described Emma’s actions as “stupid”, he had a larger point: “You are in the presence here of an accident with no criminal intention”. THE VERDICT The jury ruled that Emma was guilty of criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing death. Justice Bianca Pereault explained, “She knowingly engaged in risk taking that she should have foreseen would put other drivers’ lives in danger.” Emma was sentenced to 90 days in jail plus three years probation (缓刑), including 240 hours of community service. She also wouldn’t be allowed to drive for ten years. She appealed the sentences, claiming that losing her license for that long was extreme. The three-judge panel on the appeals court disagreed, ruling that the severe driving ban made up for her “exceptionally lenient (从轻的)” jail time given her criminal convictions. As Prosecutor (检察官) Annie Claude Chasse told reporters after the initial trial: “What we hope is that a clear message is sent to society that we do not stop on the highway for animals. It’s not worth it.” 36. Which of the following is TRUE about the accident? A. Emma left the car door open to let ducklings in. B. The ducklings were crossing the four-lane highway. C. Emma failed to take steps to alert other drivers. D. The motorcycle was originally on the highway’s right side. 37. The underlined word “appealed" probably means ________. A. learned an important lesson B. took sth for granted C. took no notice of D. asked to change decision 38. Which can be inferred from the passage? A. The media was highly critical of what Emma had done on the Highway. B. People with no criminal intention should not be held responsible for an accident. C. Emma could have been jailed longer but for the long-term ban on driving. D. Hitting animals on the highway may cause damage to the vehicle. 39. What of the following may best summarize the main idea of this passage? A. Drive more slowly for the sake of others’ safety. B. Kindness is no excuse where safety is concerned. C. Speeding on highways pays a heavy price. D. Tragedies come as a result of being absent-minded. 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. C 39. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了驾驶员Emma因在高速公路上冒险救鸭子导致致命车祸，虽出于善意但仍被判刑事过失，检察官强调公共安全优先于个人善举。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Witnesses claimed that, without turning on her warning lights or closing the driver’s side door, she jumped out of the car and tried to catch the ducks, which she planned to take home. (目击者称，她既没有打开警示灯，也没有关上驾驶座车门，就直接跳下车试图抓住鸭子。)”可知，Emma在停车救鸭子时，未能采取足够措施警示其他司机注意安全。故选C项。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“claiming that losing her license for that long was extreme (宣称吊销驾照如此之久过于严苛)”可知，Emma认为法院的判决不够合理，因此是提出上诉，希望改变原判，画线词意思应该是“要求改变决定”。故选D项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The three-judge panel on the appeals court disagreed, ruling that the severe driving ban made up for her “exceptionally lenient (从轻的)” jail time given her criminal convictions. (上诉法院的三名法官组成的小组不同意这一观点，他们裁定，鉴于她的刑事定罪，严格的驾驶禁令弥补了她“特别从轻”的监禁时间。)”可推知，若非禁驾10年的处罚，Emma可能面临更长的监禁刑期。故选C项。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“EMMA CZORNOBAJ was driving down a busy four-lane highway near Montreal late in the day on June 27, 2010, when she spotted several ducklings wandering helplessly along the concrete median (中央隔离带). (2010年6月27日晚些时候，EMMA CZORNOBAJ在蒙特利尔附近一条繁忙的四车道高速公路上开车，这时她发现几只小鸭子无助地在混凝土中间徘徊。)”、“Andre Roy, with his 16-year-old daughter riding on the back, crashed into Emma’s car. Both he and his daughter died. (Andre Roy和他坐在后座的16岁女儿，撞上了Emma的车。他和他的女儿都死了。)”和最后一段中“As Prosecutor (检察官) Annie Claude Chasse told reporters after the initial trial: “What we hope is that a clear message is sent to society that we do not stop on the highway for animals. It’s not worth it.” (检察官Annie Claude Chasse在初审后告诉记者：“我们希望向社会发出一个明确的信息，我们不会为了动物而在高速公路上停车。不值得。”)”可知，文章聚焦的是驾驶员Emma因在高速公路上冒险救鸭子导致致命车祸，虽出于善意但仍被判刑事过失的事件，检察官强调安全优先于个人善举，这表明“在安全问题上，善良不是借口”。故选B项。 (B) a --By 1865 MEMBERSHIP OFFICE Langham’s legend dates back to 1865, when The Langham, London opened as Europe’s first “Grand Hotel”.

These claims from Roger Kneebone, professor of surgical education at Imperial College London, were widely reported last week. According to Kneebone, today’s students lack the dexterity that is important for sewing, cutting and stitching. He argues that this is because, instead of taking part in creative subjects that involve manual work during their school education, “a lot of things are reduced to swiping on a two-dimensional flat screen”. There hasn’t been much research into the effects of smartphones on surgical skills. However, one 2012 study found no statistically significant change in digital dexterity among frequent smartphone users, and it did find a significant improvement in reaction time. If anything, says Pete Etchells, a psychologist at Bath Spa University, UK, the use of digital technology of any kind — rather than smartphones specifically — is linked with a higher level of surgical skill. One 2007 study, for example, found that young surgeons who played a lot of video games made fewer errors in surgery and worked faster than those who didn’t. A randomized, controlled trial in 2012 found that surgery simulators(模拟) were less effective at training surgeons than just letting them play on games consoles. These were small studies that merely found modest effects, warns Etchells, but they don’t paint a picture of digital technology damaging the core skills of surgery. More broadly, says Andrew Przybylski of the Oxford Internet Institute, UK, Kneebone’s concerns and the resulting coverage are part of a wider reaction to the role of technology in our lives. Around a decade ago, we anticipated that digital experiences could lead to improvements in various kinds of real-world competence, such as brain-training games enhancing cognitive performance or video games boosting surgical dexterity. “As those hopes haven’t materialized, we rightly feel disappointed,” says Przybylski. There is also a society-wide fear about new technologies, which is often unfounded. Przybylski’s own work has found that, contrary to widespread concern around technology and young people, screen time seems to have a small, positive effect on teenagers in all but the most extreme of cases. “Collective anxiety about the role of smartphones, and social media companies, fuel this sort of fear of technology,” he says. Ultimately, Kneebone may turn out to be right that the decline in crafts and handiwork at school is reducing the quality of the surgical student intake. But there seems little evidence of it yet. In fact, it is probably a positive thing that our youngest surgeons are digitally literate. In the very near future, a surgeon’s ability to interact with technology — be that surgical robots or augmented reality — will become increasingly important. 43. What does the underlined word dexterity mean? A. Power of concentration. B. Experience of performing surgery. C. Capacity to use words or mind. D. Skills related to hand work. 44. What can we learn from the studies mentioned in Paragraph 3 and 4? A. People are confident that video games will boost cognitive performance. B. Surgeons won’t be less skillful when exposed to digital technology. C. Digital applications except smartphones strengthen surgical skills. D. Most surgeons are modest about their improved working efficiency. 45. The perceived decline of medical students’ surgical competence is due to___________. A. people’s fear about technology that is backed up by scientific evidence B. people’s failure to see the positive effects of digital technology emerge C. the increased time teenagers spent using smartphones and social media D. the decreased access to handiwork and crafts required in medical school 46. Which of the following may serve as the best title for this passage? A. Surgical Skills, Need Enhancing? B. Digital Devices, Enhance Reaction Time? C. Surgeons, Be Trained as Digital Natives? D. Screen Time, Bad for Young Surgeons? 【答案】43. D 44. B 45. B 46. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文讨论了关于现代外科学生是否因过多使用电子设备而缺乏手术所需手工技能的争议。Roger Kneebone教授认为，学生因减少手工活动而技能下降，但研究表明数字技术（如电子游戏）可能反而提升手术表现；同时讲述了相关争议背后的社会与认知原因。但从长远来看，数字素养对未来外科医生可能越来越重要。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据后文的定语从句“that is important for sewing, cutting and stitching(这对缝纫、切割和缝合很重要)”可知，句中“sewing(缝纫)”，“cutting(切割)”，“stitching(缝合)” 均为外科手术中手工操作相关动作，因此可推知，“dexterity”应指向“手术中与手工操作相关的能力”。故选D项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。文章第三段的研究“However, one 2012 study found no statistically significant change in digital dexterity among frequent smartphone users, and it did find a significant improvement in reaction time.(然而，2012年的一项研究发现，经常使用智能手机的人在数字灵巧度方面没有出现统计学上的显著变化，但反应时间确实有显著提高。)”发现频繁使用智能手机对数字灵巧度无负面影响，反而提升反应速度；同时结合第四段研究“One 2007 study, for example, found that young surgeons who played a lot of video games made fewer errors in surgery and worked faster than those who didn’t. A randomized, controlled trial in 2012 found that surgery simulators were less effective at training surgeons than just letting them play on games consoles.(例如，2007年的一项研究发现，经常玩电子游戏的年轻外科医生在手术中出现的失误更少，操作速度也比不玩电子游戏的医生更快。2012年的一项随机对照试验则表明，手术模拟器在培养外科医生方面的效果，不如仅仅让他们玩游戏机。)”可知，2007年研究显示玩电子游戏的外科医生手术错误更少、速度更快；2012年试验表明手术模拟器效果不如游戏机训练。由此推知，这些研究均指向数字技术未损害外科技能，即，外科医生接触数字技术后并不会变得技术能力下降。故选B项。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容“Around a decade ago, we anticipated that digital experiences could lead to improvements in various kinds of real-world competence, such as brain-training games enhancing cognitive performance or video games boosting surgical dexterity. ‘As those hopes haven’t materialized, we rightly feel disappointed,’ says Przybylski.(大约十年前，我们曾预期数字体验能够促进各种实际能力的提升，比如脑力训练游戏能够提高认知能力，或者视频游戏能够增强手术技能。但“由于这些期望并未实现，我们理所当然地感到失望。”Przybylski说道。)”可知，担忧源于对技术作用的过度期待落空，即，这种“能力下降”的认知主要源于人们未看到技术积极效果显现的失望。故选B项。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章首段内容“Surgical students are less capable than their ancestors because they spend too much time with screens and not enough with physical materials. These claims from Roger Kneebone, professor of surgical education at Imperial College London, were widely reported last week.(外科专业学生的能力不如前辈，因为他们花太多时间在屏幕上，而在实物操作上投入的时间不足。伦敦帝国理工学院外科教育教授Roger Kneebone的这些说法上周得到了广泛报道。)”提出了Roger Kneebone的观点“屏幕时间损害外科学生技能”，却在第三段“However, one 2012 study found no statistically significant change in digital dexterity among frequent smartphone users, and it did find a significant improvement in reaction time.(然而，2012 年的一项研究发现，经常使用智能手机的人在数字灵巧度方面没有出现统计学上的显著变化，但反应时间确实有显著提高。)”，第四段“These were small studies that merely found modest effects, warns Etchells, but they don’t paint a picture of digital technology damaging the core skills of surgery.(Etchells警告说，这些只是小型研究，只发现了适度的影响，但它们并没有描绘出数字技术损害手术核心技能的画面。)”用“研究发现”进行了反驳。由此可知，文章核心围绕Kneebone 的观点“屏幕时间有害外科技能”为话题，用“研究”反驳展开，主旨是“探讨屏幕时间对年轻外科医生的影响是否负面”。D项“Screen Time, Bad for Young Surgeons?(屏幕时间对年轻外科医生有害吗？)”贴合主旨要义，可作最佳标题。故选D项。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Going to extremes James Kelvin recently jumped out of a plane over a mountain, and then snowboarded down it. Last year he tried base jumping and whitewater kayaking. You might think James is crazy, but he’s one of a growing number of extreme sports fans. These sports are being invented and developed all the time and one thing they all have in common is danger. And one thing they all share is the high risk factor. ____47____ One popular theory is that extreme sports have evolved as a reaction to our increasingly safe lifestyles. In the past, just staying alive and finding enough food to eat was a daily challenge but now in most developed countries, that is no longer the case. ____48____ In developing countries where life is more difficult and people’s time is dedicated to the basics of day-to-day living or simply surviving, there is no time, inclination or necessity for them. Another theory argues that extreme sports attract adrenaline junkies (对肾上腺素上瘾的人). (69) ____49____ Adrenaline is a chemical released in the body as a response to stress and danger, but for some people feeling gives a heightened sense of being alive, a feeling they want to experience again and again. However, for psychologist Eric Brymer, neither of these theories is accurate. Having interviewed many extreme sports men and women, he doesn’t believe they are thrill-seekers who risk their lives for an adrenaline high, or people who find modern life too safe so feel the need to take risks. ____50____ They understand the environment, task and their own level of skill and ability — emotional, physical and psychological — so well that for them the focus is on controlling all these things and developing as individuals. Extreme sports are their way of enjoying life to the full and being the best they can be. They are expressing a wish for life, not a foolish death wish — something they cannot do in their normal work roles. Whichever theory you believe, you may be able to benefit from some extreme sports. They aren’t all as dangerous as base jumping. So why not give one a go? A. So far, there have been a couple of theories interpreting the popularity of extreme sports. B. These are people who do them for the danger, because they get an adrenaline rush and feel a “high” when they participate. C. Why would anyone want to take such risks and push themselves beyond their limits? D. Instead, not everyone enjoys the thrill of extreme sports--for some people they are a terrifying experience. E. In contrast, his research shows that for participants, risk-taking doesn’t matter at all. F. As a result, some people feel the need to experience the thrill of risk-taking to counteract this. 【答案】47. C 48. F 49. B 50. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。探讨了极限运动流行的原因，介绍了不同理论对其的解释，以及心理学家的研究结论。 【47题详解】 上文“These sports are being invented and developed all the time and one thing they all have in common is danger. And one thing they all share is the high risk factor. (这些运动一直在被创造和发展，它们的共同点之一是危险，且都存在高风险因素)”指出了极限运动的高风险特性，下文开始介绍解释其流行的相关理论(One popular theory is that... Another theory argues that...)。C选项“为什么会有人想要冒这样的险，把自己推向极限”承接上文的“高风险”，引出下文对极限运动流行原因的探讨，符合语境。故选C。 【48题详解】 上文“In the past, just staying alive and finding enough food to eat was a daily challenge but now in most developed countries, that is no longer the case. (在过去，仅仅是活下去和找到足够的食物就是一项日常挑战，但现在在大多数发达国家，情况已不再如此)”说明在发达国家，人们的生活变得更加安全，不再需要为基本生存而担忧，空处应说明这种情况带来的结果，F选项“因此，一些人觉得有必要体验冒险的刺激来抵消这种情况。”对应“生活变得安全，无需为生存挑战”这一情况，符合语境。故选F。 【49题详解】 上文“Another theory argues that extreme sports attract adrenaline junkies(对肾上腺素上瘾的人). (另一种理论认为，极限运动吸引了那些追求肾上腺素刺激的人)”提出了“肾上腺素成瘾者”这一概念，空处应进一步解释这一概念，同时开启下文内容“Adrenaline is a chemical released in the body as a response to stress and danger, but for some people, the feeling gives a heightened sense of being alive, a feeling they want to experience again and again. (肾上腺素是人体在应对压力和危险时释放的一种化学物质，但对有些人来说，这种感觉会增强他们对“活着”的感知，这种感觉是他们想一次次体验的)，B选项“这些人做这些事是为了危险，因为当他们参与时，他们会得到肾上腺素的飙升，并感到一种‘兴奋’。”符合语境，承上启下，解释了这类人参与极限运动的原因。故选B。 【50题详解】 上文“Having interviewed many extreme sports men and women, he doesn’t believe they are thrill-seekers who risk their lives for an adrenaline high, or people who find modern life too safe so feel the need to take risks. (在采访了许多极限运动爱好者（有男有女）之后，他认为这些人并非是为了追求肾上腺素飙升而冒生命危险的刺激寻求者，也不是那些觉得现代生活过于安全、因此需要冒险的人)”表明埃里克・布莱默不认同之前的两种理论，空处应承接上文，说明他的研究结果，E选项“相反，他的研究表明，对参与者来说，冒险根本不是问题。”符合语境，“In contrast”与上文形成对比，引出他的不同观点，即参与者并非为了冒险而参与极限运动。故选E。 IV. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following three passages. 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. Ann Grand：a visual thinker Ann Grand is a visual thinker.When somebody speaks to her, the words are instantly translated into pictures, like a video in her head. Unlike most people, her thoughts move from video-like images to generalizations and concepts. Furthermore, her memories usually appear in her imagination in order of time, and the image visualized are always specific. For example, if she thinks about a chimney, she sees detailed pictures, like the one in her old house, and then those in her hometown. That one word can turn into a full-length video in her head.Grand’s mind works like the Internet search engine which produces dozens of images of an object a user is searching for. Visual thinking has enabled Grand to build entire systems in her imagination, which works similarly to a computer program because it can produce three-dimensional design simulations. This was important to her as an equipment designer for the livestock industry. Before she started construction on her designs, she would test-run the equipment in her mind. She formed mental pictures of her designs in every possible situation, with different sizes and breeds of cattle and in different weather conditions. This process made it possible for her to correct mistakes before construction started. Grand’s mind is also sensitive to details, which was important in her work with cattle. Her sharp awareness of the visual world led to noteworthy observations about animals. She noticed many little things that most people would not consider that scared the cattle. For example, a coat on a fence or a pipe on the floor would frighten them away. Grand’s visualization abilities have also helped her understand the animals she has worked with. This led her to create designs ranging from sweeping, curved fences intended to reduce the stress experienced by animals that were going to be killed to systems for handling sick cattle and pigs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ann Grand is a visual thinker, whose mind works like the Internet search engine.
