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) The Bow Street Police Museum, housed in one of London’s oldest police stations, provides an interesting look into the history of UK law enforcement. Located in the former Bow Street police station and magistrates (地方执法官) court in central London, this museum provides visitors with a unique opportunity to step back in time and explore the roots of professional policing in the UK. The building itself dates back to 1881 and served as a police station and court for over a century. Those arrested in the Bow Street area were held in the station’s cells overnight before being taken to court the next morning. Visitors today can still see these cells, including one large cell known as “the tank”, which was used to hold multiple people. The museum’s exhibits recount stories of arrests, investigations, and the pursuit of justice, providing a vivid picture of life within the police force during those times. One of the most significant stories the museum tells is that of the Bow Street Runners, often regarded as one of the first professional police forces in England. Founded in 1749 by magistrates Henry and John Fielding, the Bow Street Runners were instrumental in reducing crime in the area. The members were equipped with handcuffs, a pistol, and a stick to help them maintain law and order, and their efforts laid the groundwork for modern policing. The Bow Street police station was eventually closed in 1992, but its tradition endures through the museum. Among those who worked there was Lee-Jane Yates, a former officer in the Metropolitan Police, who remembers “the tank” as a particularly unpleasant place. The court, which closed its doors in 2006, also holds historical significance, having seen several important trials. Today, the Bow Street Police Museum invites visitors to explore this rich history through a carefully selected collection of artifacts and stories. Curator Jen Kavanagh and museum manager Vicki Pipe have selected some of their favorite items and features from the museum for visitors to discover, making the museum a must-see for anyone interested in this part of history. 36.

Curator Jen Kavanagh and museum manager Vicki Pipe have selected some of their favorite items and features from the museum for visitors to discover, making the museum a must-see for anyone interested in this part of history.(如今，弓街警察博物馆通过一批精心甄选的文物藏品与历史故事，邀请参观者探寻这段底蕴深厚的历史。馆长詹・卡瓦纳与博物馆经理维基・派普从馆内精选了部分她们最喜爱的藏品与特色展项供参观者发掘，这也让该博物馆成为所有对这段历史感兴趣的人必打卡的去处)”可知，文章主要介绍弓街警察博物馆的历史、展品与意义，说明它为何是伦敦必游之地。故选C项。 (B) We’ve all been interviewed for jobs. And we’ve all spent most of those interviews thinking about what not to do. Don’t bite your nails. Don’t panic. Don’t interrupt. But some job applicants go a long way beyond this. We surveyed the HR managers of a hundred major corporations and asked for stories of unusual behaviour by job applicants. (1) An applicant said he was so well qualified that if he didn’t get the job, it would prove the management was poor. (2) She wore an earphone but told me she could listen to the music and me at the same time. (3) He challenged me to an arm wrestle. (4) She asked to see my resume to check if I was qualified to judge her (5) She complained that she hadn’t had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and fries in my office. (6) He stopped the interview to phone his doctor, who advised him to ignore the question I’d just asked. (7) She refused to get out of the chair and threatened to stay in my office until I hired her. I had to call the police. (8)When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office. (9) She pulled out a camera, took a picture of me and said she collected photos of everyone who interviewed her. (10) He asked me to put on a suit jacket to ensure that my job offer was for real. (11) An alarm clock went off in the candidate’s briefcase. He took it out turned it off, apologized for the interruption and said he had to leave for another interview. (12) She came in wearing only one shoe. She said the other shoe had been stolen on the bus. (13) She came to the interview with a moped (轻便摩托车) and left it in the reception area.She said she didn’t want it to get stolen and announced that she would require indoor parking for the moped. (14) A candidate thanked me for seeing him but admitted he didn’t want a job. He’d only come because the unemployment office needed proof that he was looking for one. 40. Below are some rules for the job interview. Match each rule with the behaviour mentioned in the above passage that breaks the rule. Rule 1： Avoid bringing improper personal items into the interview space. Rule 2： Only attend job interviews if you are genuinely interested in the position.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过调查一百家大公司的人力资源经理，列举了求职者在面试中出现的14种不当且异常的行为。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。Rule 1根据“(13) She came to the interview with a moped and left it in the reception area.(她骑着轻便摩托车来面试，并把车停在接待区。)”可知，将不该带的物品带进面试场地，违反规则1。Rule 2根据“(14) A candidate thanked me for seeing him but admitted he didn’t want a job.(一位求职者感谢我面试他，但承认他并不想要这份工作。)”可知，并非真心求职，违反规则2。Rule 3根据“(2) She wore an earphone but told me she could listen to the music and me at the same time.(她戴着耳机，却说能一边听音乐一边听我说话。)”可知，没有全神贯注面试，违反规则3。Rule 4根据“(7) She refused to get out of the chair and threatened to stay in my office until I hired her. I had to call the police.(她拒绝起身，并威胁要待在办公室直到被录用，我不得不报警。)”可知，行为极端、无法冷静应对，违反规则4。故选D项。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中列举的行为“(2) She wore an earphone but told me she could listen to the music and me at the same time.(她戴着耳机，却说能一边听音乐一边听我说话。)”、“(4) She asked to see my resume to check if I was qualified to judge her.(她要求看我的简历，看我是否有资格评判她。)”和“(5) She complained that she hadn’t had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and fries in my office.(她抱怨没吃午饭，然后在我办公室吃汉堡和薯条。)”等一系列不礼貌行为可以推断，求职者在面试中应该尊重面试官。故选B项。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“We surveyed the HR managers of a hundred major corporations and asked for stories of unusual behaviour by job applicants.(我们调查了一百家大公司的人力资源经理，收集求职者的异常行为故事。)”以及后文列举的14种不当行为可知，本文主要讲述求职者在面试中表现出的不当行为。故选D项。 (C) English, like many languages, allows adjectives to be used as nouns, such as “the good”, “the bad”, and “the ugly”. However, referring to groups like “the poor” or “the disabled” is increasingly seen as essentializing and stigmatizing, especially for characteristics considered unfortunate. This has led to discomfort with terms like “blacks” when used as a bare group noun. Fortunately, it’s easy to add another word to avoid this, such as people“,or better yet, something descriptive like”black veterans“or ”black voters“, which adds depth to the phrase.These make these phrases a bit more three-dimensional, like the people they point to. These are far from the only ideas flowing into journalists’ inboxes today. There is no shortage of suggestions: replace “slaves” with “enslaved people” or “racialised people”; “addicts” with “drug users” or “people with a substance-abuse problem”; and so on. In each instance, the target is a term that is, or can be seen as, bearing negative meaning. The alternative is meant to be less so. However, this approach presents challenges. One is that though a case can be made for each individual change, adopting every one will quickly make a piece of writing awkward, since every new option is longer than the one it is supposed to replace. It will also make writing seem more unnatural, since the entire point is to replace words in common use with phrases that are not. Good journalism is ideally conversational and accessible, calling for a lively and engaging style. Changing the world is hard: changing the language is a lot easier, which is why linguistic (语言的) engineering can tempt people who may feel they have no other tools at hand apart from their keyboards. But it does not seem to work out as hoped. Replacing a stigmatised word often merely results in the stigma attaching to the new word. “Special needs” was once considered a polite phrase, but now “special” is a mean-spirited taunt too. Some groups have chosen a different approach by reclaiming older terms. “African-American” was popular for 30 years, but now “Black” is back, often with a capital B. While “hearing-impaired” is still used medically, many “Deaf” people proudly use the term with a capital D. Similarly, some activists have accepted being called “fat”. The idea seems to be that showing pride is likely to be more effective than changing words. As for writers, good works should humanise whatever it is about, which is why stories often begin with a named person before going into causation and abstraction. Well-crafted writing that is both sharp and humane can engage readers and benefit its subjects. In this context, everyday conversational language may be just as effective as the latest terms promoted by activists. 43. What does the word ”stigmatizing“(paragraph 1) mean? A. Respecting the characteristics of individuals. B. Coining new words to describe a new group. C. Using language that is neutral and descriptive. D. Encouraging negative associations with a group. 44. What does the writer think of the word replacement? A. It can make the writing more lively and engaging. B. The new phrases might still be misunderstood by readers. C. The new words may still bear some unfavourable meaning. D. Readers might find the new terms too formal and confusing. 45. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some old language has long been misused. B. Language evolution is gradually slowing down. C. The way we use language can shape perceptions. D. Effective writing should show the change of language. 46. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Linguistic engineering may not always help. B. Older terms have completely lost their appeal. C. Writers need to contribute to the coinage of new terms. D. Everyday conversational language is not effective as assumed. 【答案】43. D 44. C 45. C 46. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨英语中用形容词直接指代群体的问题，分析替换词汇的利弊，指出语言改造效果有限，作者认为好的写作应以人为本、体现人文关怀。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, referring to groups like “the poor” or “the disabled” is increasingly seen as essentializing and stigmatizing, especially for characteristics considered unfortunate. This has led to discomfort with terms like “blacks” when used as a bare group noun.(然而，提及“穷人”或“残疾人”这类群体，如今越来越被视为是在对他们本质化、stigmatizing，尤其当这些特征被认为是不幸时。这也导致人们对直接用“blacks(黑人)”这类笼统群体名词感到不适)”可知，stigmatizing指让人们对一群组产生负面联想。故选D项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Replacing a stigmatised word often merely results in the stigma attaching to the new word.(替换一个带有污名的词往往只会让污名转移到新词上)”可知，新词可能仍带有不好的含义。故选C项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。第一段提到“However, referring to groups like “the poor” or “the disabled” is increasingly seen as essentializing and stigmatizing, especially for characteristics considered unfortunate.(然而，提及诸如“穷人”或“残疾人”这类群体的做法，如今越来越被认为具有本质化和污名化之嫌，尤其是当所提及的特征被视为不幸之事时。) ”表明语言使用影响社会观念。第3段讨论替换污名化词汇的尝试，暗示语言使用影响社会认知。第五段指出“Changing the world is hard: changing the language is a lot easier, which is why linguistic (语言的) engineering can tempt people who may feel they have no other tools at hand apart from their keyboards.(改变世界并非易事，而改变语言则要容易得多。这就是为什么语言工程能够吸引那些可能觉得除了键盘之外自己别无其他工具可用的人)”说明语言使用与社会认知密切相关。第六段提到一些群体通过重新使用旧术语来改变观念，如Black和Deaf，进一步证明语言使用可以塑造社会观念。故选C。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Changing the world is hard: changing the language is a lot easier, which is why linguistic (语言的) engineering can tempt people who may feel they have no other tools at hand apart from their keyboards. But it does not seem to work out as hoped. (改变世界很难，而改变语言要容易得多 —— 这就是为什么语言工程会吸引那些除了键盘之外，觉得自己手边别无他法的人。但这似乎并未如预期般奏效)”可知，作者认为语言改造并非总是有用的。故选A项。 Section C(8分) 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. Excerpt from a Commencement Speech I was humbled and honored to be asked by the president of this outstanding university to speak to you today. Who am I? I am Gavin Presgrave, and for the past 39 years, I have written graduation speeches for hundreds of celebrities and nervous valedictorians (致辞的最优生). ___47___ And, at the risk of bragging, I was the first graduation - speech writer to compare life to a book. If I’m known for anything, it’s for starting speeches by saying, “I promise to keep things short, as I’m sure you are all impatient to go forward to the wonderful lives I hope you will live.” I’m proud of that. But perhaps my most famous work came during a commencement speech at Penn State in the spring of 1977. During that speech, given by someone whose name I forget, I first used the phrase “As I look out into this sea of eager faces...” And that “sea of faces” thing was a real game - changer in the world of graduation - speech writing. ___48___In 1997, I won a Herman (our version of the Oscar) for Best Use of a Children’s Author Quote. That same year, I was nominated for Best Opening Joke, which went like, “Oh, no! We’re all wearing the same gown! How embarrassing!” It was a crowd-pleaser. ...... So what have I learned during my career? ___49___ I’m not sure, but I’m nevertheless reminded of the day my mother died. Moments before her passing, she told me life was a book and even the saddest of chapters shall come to an end. If you can read the sad chapters swiftly and the happy chapters slowly, then yours will be a life worth living. Most of you have no idea what life lies ahead or what course your lives will take — two other ways of saying future. I know this. ___50___ We may not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but it can’t hurt to carry an umbrella. As I once said, “Tomorrow is a gift wrapped in time. Now is the time to open it!” A. The journey you’re about to start will be filled with twists and turns. B. Yes, I’m proud to say that I’ve won several awards for my graduation speeches. C. What important lesson can I pass along? D. But my life path has not always been smooth. E. For decades, I have come up with new ways to say future. F. What should a good graduation speech be like? 【答案】47. E 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章中作者加文・普雷斯格雷夫表示，很荣幸被大学主席邀请来演讲。作者反思自己职业生涯，联想到母亲去世前说生活是一本书，悲伤章节总会结束，鼓励人们快速度过悲伤章节、慢慢享受快乐章节。最后作者指出多数人不知道未来生活如何，旅程充满曲折，建议大家做好应对未知的准备。 【47题详解】 根据上文“I was humbled and honored to be asked by the president of this outstanding university to speak to you today. Who am I? I am Gavin Presgrave, and for the past 39 years, I have written graduation speeches for hundreds of celebrities and nervous valedictorians (致辞的最优生).(今天，我受宠若惊，也很荣幸受到这所杰出大学校长的邀请在这里发表演讲。我是谁？我是加文·普雷斯格雷夫，在过去的39年里，我为数百名名人和紧张的毕业生致词)”以及后文“And, at the risk of bragging, I was the first graduation - speech writer to compare life to a book.(而且，冒着吹牛的风险，我是第一个把生活比作一本书的毕业演讲作者)”可知，前文提到作者为很多人写毕业演讲，E选项中“new ways”与“the first”相呼应，符合语境，故E选项“几十年来，我想出了新的方式来表达未来”符合语境，故选E。 【48题详解】 根据后文“In 1997, I won a Herman (our version of the Oscar) for Best Use of a Children’s Author Quote.(1997年，我获得了赫尔曼奖（我们版的奥斯卡奖）“最佳儿童作者引用奖”)”可知，本句主要引出作者获过奖的经历，故B选项“是的，我很自豪地说，我的毕业演讲赢得了几个奖项”符合语境，故选B。 【49题详解】 根据上文“So what have I learned during my career?(那么我在职业生涯中学到了什么呢？)”以及后文“I’m not sure, but I’m nevertheless reminded of the day my mother died.(我不确定，但我想起了我母亲去世的那一天)”可知，本句与上文并列，都是在针对作者的个人经历进行设问，C选项“lesson”与前文“learned”相呼应，故C选项“我可以传递什么重要的教训？”符合语境，故选C。 【50题详解】 根据上文“Most of you have no idea what life lies ahead or what course your lives will take — two other ways of saying future. I know this.(你们中的大多数人都不知道前方的生活是怎样的，也不知道你们的生活将走向何方——这是未来的另外两种说法。我知道这个)”以及后文“We may not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but it can’t hurt to carry an umbrella. As I once said, “Tomorrow is a gift wrapped in time. Now is the time to open it!”(我们可能不需要天气预报员来知道风往哪个方向吹，但带把伞总无妨。正如我曾经说过的，“明天是包裹在时间里的礼物。”现在是时候打开它了！”)”可知，前文说很多人不知道未来的生活是什么样的，后文说要随时准备应对，A选项“twists and turns”与后文提到的要带伞（应对未知的变化）相呼应，故A选项“你即将开始的旅程将充满曲折”符合语境，故选A。 IV. Summary Writing(10分) 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. The Future of Virtual Reality Over the next decade, Virtual Reality (VR) could dramatically change our lives as it becomes more advanced and widely used. Experts think that by 2030, VR might be a big part of our everyday routines. Right now, over 40 million people own VR headsets, and this number is expected to double in the next three years. VR is set to make a big impact in various fields. In gaming, VR will offer a new level of engagement, letting players fully explore and interact with virtual worlds. Games will become more interactive, allowing players to look around and control their experiences in ways not possible with traditional games. Designers are already exploring new game styles that focus on enjoying the VR environment rather than just quick reactions or scoring points. Education will also see exciting changes. Within the next five to ten years, teachers might use VR to take students on virtual field trips or provide engaging learning experiences. History students could witness important battles up close, medical students might explore the human body as if they were tiny cells, and music students could attend virtual concerts in iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House. VR could also transform travel. By 2021, virtual scenes of cities, beaches, and other stunning places could become available, allowing people to “visit” destinations that are otherwise hard to reach due to distance or cost. This could make travel more accessible for everyone and potentially reduce the environmental impact of tourism, such as reducing carbon emissions from flights and transportation. However, VR might not become as popular as expected. If the technology doesn’t advance enough, it could end up like older tech such as CDs or PDAs. Problems like delay or motion sickness from underpowered hardware might make it less appealing. Despite its potential, VR’s future success will depend on overcoming these challenges. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Over the next decade, Virtual Reality (VR), with its increasingly wide use, may transform our daily life.

(A) The Bow Street Police Museum, housed in one of London’s oldest police stations, provides an interesting look into the history of UK law enforcement. Located in the former Bow Street police station and magistrates (地方执法官) court in central London, this museum provides visitors with a unique opportunity to step back in time and explore the roots of professional policing in the UK. The building itself dates back to 1881 and served as a police station and court for over a century. Those arrested in the Bow Street area were held in the station’s cells overnight before being taken to court the next morning. Visitors today can still see these cells, including one large cell known as “the tank”, which was used to hold multiple people. The museum’s exhibits recount stories of arrests, investigations, and the pursuit of justice, providing a vivid picture of life within the police force during those times. One of the most significant stories the museum tells is that of the Bow Street Runners, often regarded as one of the first professional police forces in England. Founded in 1749 by magistrates Henry and John Fielding, the Bow Street Runners were instrumental in reducing crime in the area. The members were equipped with handcuffs, a pistol, and a stick to help them maintain law and order, and their efforts laid the groundwork for modern policing. The Bow Street police station was eventually closed in 1992, but its tradition endures through the museum. Among those who worked there was Lee-Jane Yates, a former officer in the Metropolitan Police, who remembers “the tank” as a particularly unpleasant place. The court, which closed its doors in 2006, also holds historical significance, having seen several important trials. Today, the Bow Street Police Museum invites visitors to explore this rich history through a carefully selected collection of artifacts and stories. Curator Jen Kavanagh and museum manager Vicki Pipe have selected some of their favorite items and features from the museum for visitors to discover, making the museum a must-see for anyone interested in this part of history. 36. What is the main focus of the Bow Street Police Museum? A. The evolution of UK law enforcement. B. The lives of famous London magistrates. C. The development of the UK’s law system. D.

To store weapons and equipment C. To keep people arrested in this area. D. To display exhibits collected by the museum. 38. What can be learned about the Bow Street Runners from the passage? A. They were the first police force in London. B. They helped reduce crime and started modern policing. C. They were dismissed when the Bow Street police station closed. D. They were responsible for building the Bow Street police station. 39. What is the passage mainly about? A. How a police station became a museum. B. How the UK’s law enforcement evolved. C.

And we’ve all spent most of those interviews thinking about what not to do. Don’t bite your nails. Don’t panic. Don’t interrupt. But some job applicants go a long way beyond this. We surveyed the HR managers of a hundred major corporations and asked for stories of unusual behaviour by job applicants.

(6) He stopped the interview to phone his doctor, who advised him to ignore the question I’d just asked. (7) She refused to get out of the chair and threatened to stay in my office until I hired her. I had to call the police. (8)When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office. (9) She pulled out a camera, took a picture of me and said she collected photos of everyone who interviewed her. (10) He asked me to put on a suit jacket to ensure that my job offer was for real. (11) An alarm clock went off in the candidate’s briefcase. He took it out, turned it off, apologized for the interruption and said he had to leave for another interview. (12) She came in wearing only one shoe. She said the other shoe had been stolen on the bus. (13) She came to the interview with a moped (轻便摩托车) and left it in the reception area.She said she didn’t want it to get stolen and announced that she would require indoor parking for the moped. (14) A candidate thanked me for seeing him but admitted he didn’t want a job. He’d only come because the unemployment office needed proof that he was looking for one. 40.

Inappropriate behaviors exhibited by job applicants during interviews. (C) English, like many languages, allows adjectives to be used as nouns, such as “the good”, “the bad”, and “the ugly”. However, referring to groups like “the poor” or “the disabled” is increasingly seen as essentializing and stigmatizing, especially for characteristics considered unfortunate. This has led to discomfort with terms like “blacks” when used as a bare group noun. Fortunately, it’s easy to add another word to avoid this, such as people“,or better yet, something descriptive like”black veterans“or ”black voters“, which adds depth to the phrase.These make these phrases a bit more three-dimensional, like the people they point to. These are far from the only ideas flowing into journalists’ inboxes today. There is no shortage of suggestions: replace “slaves” with “enslaved people” or “racialised people”; “addicts” with “drug users” or “people with a substance-abuse problem”; and so on. In each instance, the target is a term that is, or can be seen as, bearing negative meaning. The alternative is meant to be less so. However, this approach presents challenges. One is that though a case can be made for each individual change, adopting every one will quickly make a piece of writing awkward, since every new option is longer than the one it is supposed to replace. It will also make writing seem more unnatural, since the entire point is to replace words in common use with phrases that are not. Good journalism is ideally conversational and accessible, calling for a lively and engaging style. Changing the world is hard: changing the language is a lot easier, which is why linguistic (语言的) engineering can tempt people who may feel they have no other tools at hand apart from their keyboards. But it does not seem to work out as hoped. Replacing a stigmatised word often merely results in the stigma attaching to the new word. “Special needs” was once considered a polite phrase, but now “special” is a mean-spirited taunt too. Some groups have chosen a different approach by reclaiming older terms. “African-American” was popular for 30 years, but now “Black” is back, often with a capital B. While “hearing-impaired” is still used medically, many “Deaf” people proudly use the term with a capital D. Similarly, some activists have accepted being called “fat”. The idea seems to be that showing pride is likely to be more effective than changing words. As for writers, good works should humanise whatever it is about, which is why stories often begin with a named person before going into causation and abstraction. Well-crafted writing that is both sharp and humane can engage readers and benefit its subjects. In this context, everyday conversational language may be just as effective as the latest terms promoted by activists. 43. What does the word ”stigmatizing“(paragraph 1) mean? A. Respecting the characteristics of individuals. B. Coining new words to describe a new group. C. Using language that is neutral and descriptive. D. Encouraging negative associations with a group. 44. What does the writer think of the word replacement? A. It can make the writing more lively and engaging. B. The new phrases might still be misunderstood by readers. C. The new words may still bear some unfavourable meaning. D. Readers might find the new terms too formal and confusing. 45. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some old language has long been misused. B. Language evolution is gradually slowing down. C. The way we use language can shape perceptions. D. Effective writing should show the change of language. 46. Which of the following statements is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Linguistic engineering may not always help. B. Older terms have completely lost their appeal. C. Writers need to contribute to the coinage of new terms. D. Everyday conversational language is not effective as assumed.

Excerpt from a Commencement Speech I was humbled and honored to be asked by the president of this outstanding university to speak to you today. Who am I? I am Gavin Presgrave, and for the past 39 years, I have written graduation speeches for hundreds of celebrities and nervous valedictorians (致辞的最优生). ___47___ And, at the risk of bragging, I was the first graduation - speech writer to compare life to a book. If I’m known for anything, it’s for starting speeches by saying, “I promise to keep things short, as I’m sure you are all impatient to go forward to the wonderful lives I hope you will live.” I’m proud of that. But perhaps my most famous work came during a commencement speech at Penn State in the spring of 1977. During that speech, given by someone whose name I forget, I first used the phrase “As I look out into this sea of eager faces...” And that “sea of faces” thing was a real game - changer in the world of graduation - speech writing. ___48___In 1997, I won a Herman (our version of the Oscar) for Best Use of a Children’s Author Quote. That same year, I was nominated for Best Opening Joke, which went like, “Oh, no! We’re all wearing the same gown! How embarrassing!” It was a crowd-pleaser. ...... So what have I learned during my career? ___49___ I’m not sure, but I’m nevertheless reminded of the day my mother died. Moments before her passing, she told me life was a book and even the saddest of chapters shall come to an end. If you can read the sad chapters swiftly and the happy chapters slowly, then yours will be a life worth living. Most of you have no idea what life lies ahead or what course your lives will take — two other ways of saying future. I know this. ___50___ We may not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but it can’t hurt to carry an umbrella. As I once said, “Tomorrow is a gift wrapped in time. Now is the time to open it!” A. The journey you’re about to start will be filled with twists and turns. B. Yes, I’m proud to say that I’ve won several awards for my graduation speeches. C. What important lesson can I pass along? D. But my life path has not always been smooth. E. For decades, I have come up with new ways to say future. F. What should a good graduation speech be like? IV. Summary Writing(10分) 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. The Future of Virtual Reality Over the next decade, Virtual Reality (VR) could dramatically change our lives as it becomes more advanced and widely used. Experts think that by 2030, VR might be a big part of our everyday routines. Right now, over 40 million people own VR headsets, and this number is expected to double in the next three years. VR is set to make a big impact in various fields. In gaming, VR will offer a new level of engagement, letting players fully explore and interact with virtual worlds. Games will become more interactive, allowing players to look around and control their experiences in ways not possible with traditional games. Designers are already exploring new game styles that focus on enjoying the VR environment rather than just quick reactions or scoring points. Education will also see exciting changes. Within the next five to ten years, teachers might use VR to take students on virtual field trips or provide engaging learning experiences. History students could witness important battles up close, medical students might explore the human body as if they were tiny cells, and music students could attend virtual concerts in iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House. VR could also transform travel. By 2021, virtual scenes of cities, beaches, and other stunning places could become available, allowing people to “visit” destinations that are otherwise hard to reach due to distance or cost. This could make travel more accessible for everyone and potentially reduce the environmental impact of tourism, such as reducing carbon emissions from flights and transportation. However, VR might not become as popular as expected. If the technology doesn’t advance enough, it could end up like older tech such as CDs or PDAs. Problems like delay or motion sickness from underpowered hardware might make it less appealing. Despite its potential, VR’s future success will depend on overcoming these challenges. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation(15分) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 52. 历时两年修订的教材有何变化？ (after) (汉译英) ___________________________________________________________________ 53. 上海车展一直是公众感受全球新品首发的“打卡地”。(launch) (汉译英) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 54. 为解决游客携带行李出行不便的问题，地铁站将提供行李寄存服务。(address) (汉译英) ___________________________________________________________________ 55. 身处共享经济时代，年轻人可以在有限的预算范围内，通过租赁体验更多高品质产品。(Living) (汉译英) ___________________________________________________________________ VI.
