VII. Guided writing (25’) Dear Editor, Recently, the “bread blind box” has quietly become popular. You can buy bread at 50％ discount of the original price or even lower, which is accompanied by the freshness and excitement of opening a blind box and has attracted many diners. It is true that the emergence of the “bread blind box” not only helps the store to solve the waste and loss caused by the failure to sell the products in time, but also enables consumers to buy good and cheap food. However, some merchants put expired bread into blind boxes for sale, violating the original intention of selling “bread blind box” to avoid food waste. We hope to strengthen market supervision to ensure quality and safety and the consumers’ rights.

(B) As a child, Wang Junyan never dreamed of becoming a famous person on TV. Now she is the presenter for Universe TV’s news programmes. I asked her how she had achieved success, and she told me her story. “It was my mother who taught me to be curious: She had a great love of everything in the universe and she taught me to be interested in mankind and nature,” Junyan told me. “We would look in old nests to find birds’ feathers and we would even turn over stones to look at the little creatures there. I loved doing that,” remembered Junyan. She said, “My mother was a strong character. Although there were lots of difficulties to overcome, she never let her problems defeat her. She worked extremely hard to support me through school and during my time at Fudan University. Her attitude towards life will never stop influencing my thoughts and actions.” After graduating from university, she became a reporter for a local newspaper. She said she chose to be a journalist because it is important that people grasp what is going on around them. I asked her if there was any special moment that made her realise this and she replied that it was after she was asked to inspect an illegal business. Her report helped the people who had been affected and it also helped the government inspect the company and catch the guilty people. “That is when I realised the importance of being a journalist,” said Junyan. “Writing that report wasn’t easy, but I realised that people needed to know and so I didn’t give up,” Junyan told me. I asked Junyan what she liked most about her job and she said that although there wasn’t much glory in a reporter’s existence, she found it interesting and challenging. “I meet a lot of people and go to many different places. I’m never bored with this job!” She added that as a reporter she needed many different skills and was constantly challenged to learn new things. Finally, I asked her if after many years she still felt curious. Smiling brightly, she told me, “Nothing that I learned from my mother has ever left me. Today when I’m looking for stories, I still feel like I’m turning over stones to see what might be hiding beneath!” 59．How did Junyan’s mother influence her? A．Junyan’s mother worked part-time to support her. B．Junyan’s-mother taught her how to write a good report. C．Junyan’s mother accompanied her to study at university. D．Junyan’s mother helped her to develop an interest in humans and nature. 60．Why did Junyan choose to be a journalist? A．To become a famous person on TV. B．To learn many different skills and new things. C．To meet more people and go to many different places. D．To make people aware of what is going on around them. 61．What did Junyan think of inspecting the illegal business? A．Scary but exciting. B．Difficult but meaningful. C．Simple but innovative. D．Dangerous but well-paid. 62．What does the author intend to tell us? A．Curiosity can make a difference in a person’s life. B．Accepting what you have makes you happy. C．Ups and downs can make one strong. D．Chance favors the prepared mind. (C) Gen Z’s cultural habits are often perceived as screen-focused, but a recent survey by the Booksellers Association challenges this view. It has found that the new generation are more likely than older ones to buy a book based on in-person recommendations from booksellers. UK booksellers have noticed a sharp rise in young readers visiting stores, seeking human interaction rather than relying on algorithm-driven (算法驱动) online recommendations. The Internet, especially BookTok, the corner of TikTok, does have a role to play in bookshops’ popularity. Booksellers agree that social media has helped to promote the bookshop to younger readers who travel from neighbouring towns and cities to visit. However, a resistance to algorithmic recommendations popular on BookTok (as well as online bookstores like Amazon) might be one of the most common things driving young readers into physical bookshops. Almost everyone — both booksellers and young readers — were doubtful about giving BookTok too much credit for the popularity of shopping in physical shops. Some readers said they experienced a kind of “BookTok burnout”, and have actually sought out in-person recommendations as a solution to being pushed the same books. What really draws young readers into bookshops, though, is something more personal. Booksellers say readers come out for signed books and author talks, especially for younger readers wanting to connect with their favourite writers. “I think it’s kind of a misunderstanding that younger people want to do everything online,” Grace Gooda, the manager at Morocco Bound in Bermondsey says. “In our experience... it creates a relationship where they trust our recommendations and might take home something they wouldn’t have seen advertised elsewhere. ” This is what really makes physical bookshops appeal to many younger readers. “Bookshops aren’t just places to buy books, they’re places of community, of gathering and this is something that’s actively promoted by so many bookshops,” Ash, 29, from Yorkshire, says. “Speaking to staff to get book recommendations is often a path into hearing more about the community aspects of bookshops, too — it’s often more than just a book recommendation.” 63．What has the survey found about Gen Z? A．They are keen to live mostly through a screen. B．More and more visit bookstores for new books. C．They value booksellers’ advice more than expected. D．They rely heavily on online book recommendations. 64．What effect does the Internet have on bookshops, according to paragraph 2? A．It replaces the need for physical bookshops. B．It has a significant impact on bookshops’ popularity. C．It drives young readers away from physical bookshops. D．It expands the bookshops’ influence among young readers. 65．Why might young readers resist algorithmic recommendations? A．They are fed up with them. B．They trust advice from authors. C．They prefer to buy books in person. D．They think social media unreliable. 66．Why do physical bookshops appeal to younger readers? A．They sell signed books. B．They provide a deeper connection. C．They offer a wider range of services. D．They create better reading environment. Section C（8’） 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. All Rise With just over 500 different species of shark classified, and a further two dozen waiting to be formally scientifically named, shark classification is not for the faint-hearted. 67 Sporting a wide, flattened head that is uniquely shaped like a double-headed hammer, it’s not hard to see how these sharks got their name. The eyes and openings at the end of the nose are located at either end of the “hammer” — or cephalopodic, as it’s technically called. 68 While undoubtedly giving the sharks extra lift, the cephalopodic may also help them make sharper turns in the water. The widely spaced eyes allow for effective three-D vision, while the head’s broad shape also houses a sense organ operating like an underwater metal detector, it helps the predators (捕食性动物) to detect prey (猎物) hidden on or just under the sea-floor deposit. Though widespread, the scalloped hammerhead, one of the nine species of hammerhead, is most commonly encountered in the Hammerhead Triangle in the eastern Pacific. While it can be relatively easily observed at a number of sites, particularly around seamounts, there are only a few places where it gathers in large numbers. 69 These groups of sharks tend to consist mostly of females, with the males remaining out in deeper waters. At locations such as the Hammerhead Triangle, numbers can reach into the hundreds or even, on occasion, thousands. As the sharks tend to assemble relatively close to the water’s surface, this is one ocean spectacle (壮观的景象) for diver. With its fins highly prized as the key ingredient in shark-fin soup, it’s no surprise that the scalloped hammerhead has experienced a dramatic population decline. Any sharks caught are often subjected to the frankly horrible treatment of ‘finning’, whereby fins are sliced off and the bodies thrown overboard. However, with hammerheads consistently ranking among the world’s top underwater wildlife attractions, shark tourism now contributes millions towards regional economies, thereby presenting a sustainable alternative to fishing them into extinction. 70 A．Added to this, the shark is often the victim of fishing bycatch. B．The explanation behind the shape of the hammerhead’s head has long been debated. C．But there is one group that everyone would immediately recognize the hammerheads. D．The scalloped hammerhead can be distinguished by the V-shaped cut at its cephalopodic. E．As most predators at the top of the food chain operate as ‘lone wolves’, this is considered highly unusual behaviour. F．Doubtless, those enjoying this magnificent spectacle agree that the fins look far better on the sharks than they do floating in a bowl of soup. V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Exploring the Appeal of Vintage Today, the term “vintage” applies to almost everything. Vintage is more recent than an antique（古董）which is defined as 100 years old or more. It basically means reviving something old-fashioned or filled with memories. For an object to be considered vintage, it must be unique and genuine enough to retain at least some of its original charm. We buy vintage because it creates a sense of personal connection for us: it speaks to our childhood memories and that feels good. We also buy vintage because we’re rebels. Vintage is a protest against modern mainstream culture. In an age of technology, buying vintage is a refuge from our fast-paced, high-tech world. We want our children to make the most of their creativity and know how to entertain themselves without electronic gadgets. Ironically, early video games are now considered vintage. Of all the vintage objects, vintage toys are forever attractive for both adults and children. Although some toys have emotional value, others have high market value and are expensive to collect. Vintage toys that were made in small quantities often bring a higher value than those that were mass produced. That means, if you own one of the 2,000 “Peanuts” royal blue beanie baby elephants that were manufactured with a darker blue coat than originally intended, you might have something valuable on your hands. In fact, due to a manufacturer error, this is the most collectible beanie baby around — and worth about £3,000.

After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the questions you have heard. 1. M: Did you go to the volleyball match last Sunday? W: Oh, yes. It was supposed to start at 1:30,but it was delayed for 15 minutes. Q: When did the match start? 2. W: What was the best moment of the race for you? M: Oh, when I got to the finishing line, definitely. Q: What kind of person is probably the man? 3. W: I'd like to mail this package by special delivery. Can it arrive within two days? M: Sure, no problem. Q: Where does this conversation probably take place? 4. W: Hi, Bob. This is Mary speaking. Can you go on an interview tomorrow? I have a legal office that's very interested in you. M: Really? But I planned to attend a lecture tomorrow. Would Wednesday suit them? Q: What will the man do tomorrow? 5. W: Excuse me, how much are the potatoes? M: Five dollars one kilogram. But if you buy more than three kilograms, I will give you a 20% discount.

Section B Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Life coaches are in high demand these days, especially by stars in Hollywood! So what's a life coach and what does he or she do? While a basketball coach trains you on your basketball skills, a life coach gives you advice about your life, tries to figure out what you want and helps you achieve different goals. If your goal is to get in shape, then a life coach encourages you to get to the gym, and hire a personal fitness trainer to help you eat healthier meals. If you dream about traveling around the world but don't have enough money, a life coach will dish out financial advice, give you suggestions on how to save and invest your money, or even help you look for a better-paying job! A life coach is not a therapist, more than a consultant and not just a friend: a life coach is skilled in helping you to make great improvements in your life. If things are pretty good, but you want them to be better, coaching is for you! Your life coach is your personal expert to help you realize your full potential! Anything you can do, you can do it faster and better with a coach! A life coach usually works with you over the phone, often weekly. He or she will ask you questions that will help you focus on what is most important for you right now, partner with you in identifying what you want, finding your values and goals, encouraging you to take action, and helping you achieve success. ( Now listen again, please. ) Questions : 11. Who does a life coach work for according to the writer? 12. How does a life coach usually contact you? 13. What does the writer mainly talk about? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. By the end of the term I hope you'll be convinced that formal writing always requires revision. Sometimes it requires a fairly major rewriting of the paper. Some students may have the mistaken idea that revision means simply making corrections in spelling and grammar. I call that proof-reading. What I expect you to do as you revise is to value and improve the overall effectiveness of your paper. But how can you tell if your paper is effective? Well, for example, start by asking yourself these questions :Is the topic restricted enough to be fully discussed within the given links? Are the main ideas clear? Are they supported by the specific details in the examples? Do they move smoothly from one idea to the next? You'll need enough time for a possible major repair, that is, you may have to make a lot of changes before your paper becomes really clear to the reader. So I'll expect a draft of each paper two weeks before the final due date. That way I can criticize it and get it back in time for you to revise it. Then you can turn in a final draft for grading. This process may seem like a great deal of trouble at first but I think you will find it valuable. In fact, after you finish this course I doubt that you will ever turn in a term paper without first revising it carefully. ( Now listen again, please. ) Questions : 14. What should the students' aim be when they revise their work? 15. When should the first draft be turned in? 16. What is the purpose of the talk? Section C Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M: Hi. I don't think we've met. My name's Tom. W: Hi. Tom. Nice to meet you. My name is Juanita, but everybody calls me Jenny. M: Nice to meet you, Jenny, where are you from? W: Well, originally I was born in Egypt, but we moved to the United States when I was about five years old. My parents now live in Chile. That's where they first met. How about you, Tom? M: I was born in California, and we lived there until I was seven. Then, since my father worked for the military, we've moved all over the places. W: Oh yeah? Where are some of the places you've lived in? M: Mostly, we were overseas. We spent a total of ten years in Korea, Germany, and Okinawa, Japan. We were transferred back to the States three years ago, but I think my parents would have liked to live overseas for at least 20 years. W: Wow. It sounds like you've had an interesting life. So, what do you do now? M: I'm a student at Purdue University. W: Oh really? What are you studying? M: I'm majoring in Chemistry. How about you? What do you do? W: Well, I'm working as a sales manager for Vega Computers Downtown. M: No kidding? My brother works there, too. ( Now listen again, please. ) Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation. W: Hello, Jim. I haven't seen you in a while. What seems to be the problem? M: Actually I'm a little embarrassed about coming here. I feel fine right now. But you know how much stuff is going around. Anyway every year around the holiday like clockwork I come down with something. W: So you're interested in prevention. What symptoms do you usually get? M: You know, cough, fever, running nose. My head and bones ache, chills even. I'm usually miserable for a week and it ends up ruining my holidays. W: Sounds like a typical flu to me. As you said, lots of people have it. Influenza often strikes when people are overtired, stressed out and not eating nutritious foods. And also you increase your exposure to a virus when you're in big crowds where lots of people are coughing and sneezing. M: I certainly spend a lot of time in department stores around the holidays buying gifts for people. W: Yes. And so you increase your exposure to airborne viruses just when your body's resistance is already low. M: So what can I do to prevent the flu? W: Actually it's fairly simple. Get a lot of rest, eat well. That way your immune system will be strengthened and you'll be more able to fight off illness. M: All these things make sense. I'll try right away. It'll be nice to feel well during the holiday for a while. ( Now listen again, please. ) II.

Now she is the presenter for Universe TV’s news programmes. I asked her how she had achieved success, and she told me her story. “It was my mother who taught me to be curious: She had a great love of everything in the universe and she taught me to be interested in mankind and nature,” Junyan told me. “We would look in old nests to find birds’ feathers and we would even turn over stones to look at the little creatures there. I loved doing that,” remembered Junyan. She said, “My mother was a strong character. Although there were lots of difficulties to overcome, she never let her problems defeat her. She worked extremely hard to support me through school and during my time at Fudan University. Her attitude towards life will never stop influencing my thoughts and actions.” After graduating from university, she became a reporter for a local newspaper. She said she chose to be a journalist because it is important that people grasp what is going on around them. I asked her if there was any special moment that made her realise this and she replied that it was after she was asked to inspect an illegal business. Her report helped the people who had been affected and it also helped the government inspect the company and catch the guilty people. “That is when I realised the importance of being a journalist,” said Junyan. “Writing that report wasn’t easy, but I realised that people needed to know and so I didn’t give up,” Junyan told me. I asked Junyan what she liked most about her job and she said that although there wasn’t much glory in a reporter’s existence, she found it interesting and challenging. “I meet a lot of people and go to many different places. I’m never bored with this job!” She added that as a reporter she needed many different skills and was constantly challenged to learn new things. Finally, I asked her if after many years she still felt curious. Smiling brightly, she told me, “Nothing that I learned from my mother has ever left me. Today when I’m looking for stories, I still feel like I’m turning over stones to see what might be hiding beneath!” 59．How did Junyan’s mother influence her?

D．To make people aware of what is going on around them. 61．What did Junyan think of inspecting the illegal business? A．Scary but exciting. B．Difficult but meaningful. C．Simple but innovative.

I loved doing that,” remembered Junyan.( “是我的母亲教会我要有好奇心：她对宇宙中的一切都有极大的热爱，她教会我对人类和自然感兴趣，”君燕告诉我。“我们会在古老的鸟巢里寻找鸟类的羽毛，我们甚至会翻开石头来观察那里的小生物。我喜欢这样做，”君燕回忆道。)” 可知，王君燕的妈妈教她对宇宙中的一切充满热爱，培养了她对人类和自然的兴趣。故选D项。 60．细节理解题。根据第三段中“She said she chose to be a journalist because it is important that people grasp what is going on around them.( 她说，她选择成为一名记者，因为人们了解周围发生的事情是很重要的。)”可知，王君燕选择成为一名记者是因为她认为让人们了解周围正在发生的事情很重要。故选D项。 61．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Her report helped the people who had been affected and it also helped the government inspect the company and catch the guilty people. “I hat is when I realised the importance of being a journalist,” said Junyan. “Writing that report wasn’t easy, but I realised that people needed to know and so I didn’t give up,” Junyan told me.( 她的报告帮助了那些受到影响的人，也帮助了政府检查公司，抓住了有罪的人。“那时我才意识到作为一名记者的重要性，”君燕说。“写那份报告并不容易，但我意识到人们需要知道，所以我没有放弃，”君燕告诉我。)” 可知，王君燕认为调查非法企业写报告虽然不容易（困难），但帮助了受影响的人，也帮助政府检查公司并抓住了有罪的人（有意义），B选项“Difficult but meaningful.”（困难但有意义）正确。故选B项。 62．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“I’m never bored with this job!” She added that as a reporter she needed many different skills and was constantly challenged to learn new things. Finally, I asked her if after many years she still felt curious. Smiling brightly, she told me, “Nothing that I learned from my mother has ever left me. Today when I’m looking for stories, I still feel like I’m turning over stones to see what might be hiding beneath!”(我对这份工作永远不会感到厌倦！”她补充说，作为一名记者，她需要许多不同的技能，并不断挑战学习新事物。最后，我问她，多年以后，她是否仍然感到好奇。她灿烂地笑着对我说：“我从母亲那里学到的东西从来没有离开过我。今天，当我在寻找故事的时候，我仍然觉得自己是在翻石头，看看下面可能藏着什么！”)”可知，文章主要讲述了王君燕在妈妈的影响下培养了好奇心，这种好奇心促使她对周围的事物感兴趣，选择成为记者，在工作中不断探索和追求真相，好奇心对她的人生产生了重要影响。由此可推知，作者想告诉我们好奇心可以改变一个人的生活。故选A项。 (C) Gen Z’s cultural habits are often perceived as screen-focused, but a recent survey by the Booksellers Association challenges this view. It has found that the new generation are more likely than older ones to buy a book based on in-person recommendations from booksellers. UK booksellers have noticed a sharp rise in young readers visiting stores, seeking human interaction rather than relying on algorithm-driven (算法驱动) online recommendations. The Internet, especially BookTok, the corner of TikTok, does have a role to play in bookshops’ popularity. Booksellers agree that social media has helped to promote the bookshop to younger readers who travel from neighbouring towns and cities to visit. However, a resistance to algorithmic recommendations popular on BookTok (as well as online bookstores like Amazon) might be one of the most common things driving young readers into physical bookshops. Almost everyone — both booksellers and young readers — were doubtful about giving BookTok too much credit for the popularity of shopping in physical shops. Some readers said they experienced a kind of “BookTok burnout”, and have actually sought out in-person recommendations as a solution to being pushed the same books. What really draws young readers into bookshops, though, is something more personal. Booksellers say readers come out for signed books and author talks, especially for younger readers wanting to connect with their favourite writers. “I think it’s kind of a misunderstanding that younger people want to do everything online,” Grace Gooda, the manager at Morocco Bound in Bermondsey says. “In our experience... it creates a relationship where they trust our recommendations and might take home something they wouldn’t have seen advertised elsewhere. ” This is what really makes physical bookshops appeal to many younger readers. “Bookshops aren’t just places to buy books, they’re places of community, of gathering and this is something that’s actively promoted by so many bookshops,” Ash, 29, from Yorkshire, says. “Speaking to staff to get book recommendations is often a path into hearing more about the community aspects of bookshops, too — it’s often more than just a book recommendation.” 63．What has the survey found about Gen Z? A．They are keen to live mostly through a screen. B．More and more visit bookstores for new books. C．They value booksellers’ advice more than expected. D．They rely heavily on online book recommendations. 64．What effect does the Internet have on bookshops, according to paragraph 2? A．It replaces the need for physical bookshops. B．It has a significant impact on bookshops’ popularity. C．It drives young readers away from physical bookshops. D．It expands the bookshops’ influence among young readers. 65．Why might young readers resist algorithmic recommendations? A．They are fed up with them. B．They trust advice from authors. C．They prefer to buy books in person. D．They think social media unreliable. 66．Why do physical bookshops appeal to younger readers? A．They sell signed books. B．They provide a deeper connection. C．They offer a wider range of services. D．They create better reading environment. 【答案】63．C 64．D 65．A 66．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了实体书店对年轻一代读者的吸引力。 63．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“It has found that the new generation are more likely than older ones to buy a book based on in-person recommendations from booksellers. (调查发现，与年长者相比，新一代人更有可能因为书店店员的当面推荐而购买一本书。)”可知，他们比预期更看重书店店员的建议。故选C。 64．细节理解题。由文章第二段“The Internet, especially BookTok, the corner of TikTok, does have a role to play in bookshops’ popularity. Booksellers agree that social media has helped to promote the bookshop to younger readers who travel from neighbouring towns and cities to visit. (互联网，尤其是 BookTok（TikTok 上专门关于书籍的板块），确实在书店的受欢迎程度上起到了一定作用。书商们一致认为，社交媒体有助于向那些从周边城镇赶来光顾的年轻读者推广书店。)”可知，互联网扩大了书店在年轻读者中的影响力。故选D。 65．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Some readers said they experienced a kind of “BookTok burnout”, and have actually sought out in-person recommendations as a solution to being pushed the same books. (一些读者表示，他们经历了一种“BookTok倦怠”，实际上已经开始寻求当面的推荐，以此来摆脱总是被推荐同样的书籍的困扰。)”可知，年轻读者可能对算法推荐感到厌烦。故选A。 66．细节理解题。由文章最后一段中““Bookshops aren’t just places to buy books, they’re places of community, of gathering and this is something that’s actively promoted by so many bookshops,” Ash, 29, from Yorkshire, says. “Speaking to staff to get book recommendations is often a path into hearing more about the community aspects of bookshops, too — it’s often more than just a book recommendation.” (“书店不只是买书的地方，它们还是社区场所、聚会场所，这也是许多书店积极宣传的一点，”来自约克郡的29岁的阿什说，“和店员交流以获取书籍推荐，往往也是了解书店更多社区方面信息的一条途径——这通常不只是得到一个书籍推荐那么简单。”)”可知，实体书店对年轻读者有吸引力是因为它们提供了更深的联系。故选B。 Section C（8’） 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. All Rise With just over 500 different species of shark classified, and a further two dozen waiting to be formally scientifically named, shark classification is not for the faint-hearted. 67 Sporting a wide, flattened head that is uniquely shaped like a double-headed hammer, it’s not hard to see how these sharks got their name. The eyes and openings at the end of the nose are located at either end of the “hammer” — or cephalopodic, as it’s technically called. 68 While undoubtedly giving the sharks extra lift, the cephalopodic may also help them make sharper turns in the water. The widely spaced eyes allow for effective three-D vision, while the head’s broad shape also houses a sense organ operating like an underwater metal detector, it helps the predators (捕食性动物) to detect prey (猎物) hidden on or just under the sea-floor deposit. Though widespread, the scalloped hammerhead, one of the nine species of hammerhead, is most commonly encountered in the Hammerhead Triangle in the eastern Pacific. While it can be relatively easily observed at a number of sites, particularly around seamounts, there are only a few places where it gathers in large numbers. 69 These groups of sharks tend to consist mostly of females, with the males remaining out in deeper waters. At locations such as the Hammerhead Triangle, numbers can reach into the hundreds or even, on occasion, thousands. As the sharks tend to assemble relatively close to the water’s surface, this is one ocean spectacle (壮观的景象) for diver. With its fins highly prized as the key ingredient in shark-fin soup, it’s no surprise that the scalloped hammerhead has experienced a dramatic population decline. Any sharks caught are often subjected to the frankly horrible treatment of ‘finning’, whereby fins are sliced off and the bodies thrown overboard. However, with hammerheads consistently ranking among the world’s top underwater wildlife attractions, shark tourism now contributes millions towards regional economies, thereby presenting a sustainable alternative to fishing them into extinction. 70 A．Added to this, the shark is often the victim of fishing bycatch. B．The explanation behind the shape of the hammerhead’s head has long been debated. C．But there is one group that everyone would immediately recognize the hammerheads. D．The scalloped hammerhead can be distinguished by the V-shaped cut at its cephalopodic. E．As most predators at the top of the food chain operate as ‘lone wolves’, this is considered highly unusual behaviour. F．Doubtless, those enjoying this magnificent spectacle agree that the fins look far better on the sharks than they do floating in a bowl of soup. 【答案】67．C 68．D 69．E 70．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种鲨鱼以及它们的生活习性。 67．根据上文“With just over 500 different species of shark classified, and a further two dozen waiting to be formally scientifically named, shark classification is not for the faint-hearted.(只有500多种不同的鲨鱼被分类，还有二十几种等待正式的科学命名，鲨鱼分类不是胆小的人可以接受的)”以及第二段“Sporting a wide, flattened head that is uniquely shaped like a double-headed hammer, it’s not hard to see how these sharks got their name.(它们的头又宽又平，独特的形状就像双头锤，不难看出这些鲨鱼是如何得名的)”可知，本句主要引出后文文章主要介绍的鲨鱼类型，故C选项“但是有一个群体是每个人都会立刻认出来的，那就是双髻鲨”符合语境，故选C。 68．根据后文“While undoubtedly giving the sharks extra lift, the cephalopodic may also help them make sharper turns in the water. The widely spaced eyes allow for effective three-D vision, while the head’s broad shape also houses a sense organ operating like an underwater metal detector, it helps the predators (捕食性动物) to detect prey (猎物) hidden on or just under the sea-floor deposit.(毫无疑问，头足可以给鲨鱼额外的提升力，同时也可以帮助它们在水中做出更尖锐的转弯。宽间距的眼睛可以提供有效的三维视觉，而头部的宽形状也容纳了一个像水下金属探测器一样的感觉器官，它可以帮助捕食者探测隐藏在海底沉积物上或下面的猎物)”可知，本段主要介绍了特殊的头部对于这种鲨鱼捕食的作用，故D选项“双髻鲨可以通过其头足部的V形切口来区分”符合语境，故选D。 69．根据上文“Though widespread, the scalloped hammerhead, one of the nine species of hammerhead, is most commonly encountered in the Hammerhead Triangle in the eastern Pacific. While it can be relatively easily observed at a number of sites, particularly around seamounts, there are only a few places where it gathers in large numbers.(双髻鲨是九种双髻鲨中的一种，虽然分布广泛，但在东太平洋的双髻鲨三角区最常见。虽然在许多地方，特别是海山附近，可以相对容易地观察到它，但只有少数地方它会大量聚集)”以及后文“These groups of sharks tend to consist mostly of females, with the males remaining out in deeper waters.(这些鲨鱼群往往主要由雌性组成，雄性则留在更深的水域)”可知，上文提到了这种鲨鱼会大量聚集，推测本句针对这一行为进行评价，故E选项“由于大多数食物链顶端的捕食者都是“孤狼”，这被认为是非常不寻常的行为”符合语境，故选E。 70．根据上文“However, with hammerheads consistently ranking among the world’s top underwater wildlife attractions, shark tourism now contributes millions towards regional economies, thereby presenting a sustainable alternative to fishing them into extinction.(然而，由于双髻鲨一直是世界上最受欢迎的水下野生动物之一，鲨鱼旅游现在为地区经济贡献了数百万美元，从而提供了一个可持续的替代捕捞它们灭绝的选择)”可知，上文提到了双髻鲨发展成为了旅游业，带来了很高的经济受益，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，说明发展观赏鲨鱼旅游业促进鲨鱼的保护，故F选项“毫无疑问，那些欣赏这一壮观景象的人都同意，鲨鱼身上的鳍比它们漂浮在一碗汤里好看多了”符合语境，“floating in a bowl of soup”与上一段“With its fins highly prized as the key ingredient in shark-fin soup”相对应。故选F。 V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Exploring the Appeal of Vintage Today, the term “vintage” applies to almost everything. Vintage is more recent than an antique（古董）which is defined as 100 years old or more. It basically means reviving something old-fashioned or filled with memories. For an object to be considered vintage, it must be unique and genuine enough to retain at least some of its original charm. We buy vintage because it creates a sense of personal connection for us: it speaks to our childhood memories and that feels good. We also buy vintage because we’re rebels. Vintage is a protest against modern mainstream culture. In an age of technology, buying vintage is a refuge from our fast-paced, high-tech world. We want our children to make the most of their creativity and know how to entertain themselves without electronic gadgets. Ironically, early video games are now considered vintage. Of all the vintage objects, vintage toys are forever attractive for both adults and children. Although some toys have emotional value, others have high market value and are expensive to collect. Vintage toys that were made in small quantities often bring a higher value than those that were mass produced. That means, if you own one of the 2,000 “Peanuts” royal blue beanie baby elephants that were manufactured with a darker blue coat than originally intended, you might have something valuable on your hands. In fact, due to a manufacturer error, this is the most collectible beanie baby around — and worth about £3,000. If you’re motivated and feeling lucky, you can find deals on vintage toys by browsing charity shops, secondhand stores, community centers, flea markets and garage sales. You never know what kind of treasures are hiding at the bottom of a mixed box in someone’s basement, garage or attic. 71.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Vintage items, newer than antiques, rejuvenate old-fashioned or nostalgic items, necessitating uniqueness and genuine charm. Buying vintage can foster personal connections and reflect rebellion against mainstream culture.

By the end of the term, I hope you'll be convinced that formal riding always requires revision. Sometimes IT requires a fairly major rewriting of the paper.

What I expect you to do as you revise is to value and improve the overall effectiveness of your paper. But how can you tell if your paper is affected? Well, for example, starting by asking yourself these questions, is the topic restricted enough to be fully discussed within the given links? Are the main ideas clear? Are they supported by the specific details in the examples? Do they move smoothly from one idea to the next? You'll need enough time for a possible major repair. That is, you may have to make a lot of changes before your paper becomes really clear to the reader. So i'll expect a draft of each paper two weeks before the final due date. That way I can criticize IT and get IT back in time for you to revise IT. Then you can turn in a final draft or grading. This process may seem like a great deal of trouble at first, but I think you will find IT valuable. In fact, after you finish this course, I doubt that you will ever turn in a term paper without first revising IT carefully. Now listen again, please.

(B) As a child, Wang Junyan never dreamed of becoming a famous person on TV. Now she is the presenter for Universe TV’s news programmes. I asked her how she had achieved success, and she told me her story. “It was my mother who taught me to be curious: She had a great love of everything in the universe and she taught me to be interested in mankind and nature,” Junyan told me. “We would look in old nests to find birds’ feathers and we would even turn over stones to look at the little creatures there. I loved doing that,” remembered Junyan. She said, “My mother was a strong character. Although there were lots of difficulties to overcome, she never let her problems defeat her. She worked extremely hard to support me through school and during my time at Fudan University. Her attitude towards life will never stop influencing my thoughts and actions.” After graduating from university, she became a reporter for a local newspaper. She said she chose to be a journalist because it is important that people grasp what is going on around them. I asked her if there was any special moment that made her realise this and she replied that it was after she was asked to inspect an illegal business. Her report helped the people who had been affected and it also helped the government inspect the company and catch the guilty people. “That is when I realised the importance of being a journalist,” said Junyan. “Writing that report wasn’t easy, but I realised that people needed to know and so I didn’t give up,” Junyan told me. I asked Junyan what she liked most about her job and she said that although there wasn’t much glory in a reporter’s existence, she found it interesting and challenging. “I meet a lot of people and go to many different places. I’m never bored with this job!” She added that as a reporter she needed many different skills and was constantly challenged to learn new things. Finally, I asked her if after many years she still felt curious. Smiling brightly, she told me, “Nothing that I learned from my mother has ever left me. Today when I’m looking for stories, I still feel like I’m turning over stones to see what might be hiding beneath!” 59．How did Junyan’s mother influence her? A．Junyan’s mother worked part-time to support her. B．Junyan’s-mother taught her how to write a good report. C．Junyan’s mother accompanied her to study at university. D．Junyan’s mother helped her to develop an interest in humans and nature. 60．Why did Junyan choose to be a journalist? A．To become a famous person on TV. B．To learn many different skills and new things. C．To meet more people and go to many different places. D．To make people aware of what is going on around them. 61．What did Junyan think of inspecting the illegal business? A．Scary but exciting. B．Difficult but meaningful. C．Simple but innovative. D．Dangerous but well-paid. 62．What does the author intend to tell us? A．Curiosity can make a difference in a person’s life. B．Accepting what you have makes you happy. C．Ups and downs can make one strong. D．Chance favors the prepared mind. (C) Gen Z’s cultural habits are often perceived as screen-focused, but a recent survey by the Booksellers Association challenges this view. It has found that the new generation are more likely than older ones to buy a book based on in-person recommendations from booksellers. UK booksellers have noticed a sharp rise in young readers visiting stores, seeking human interaction rather than relying on algorithm-driven (算法驱动) online recommendations. The Internet, especially BookTok, the corner of TikTok, does have a role to play in bookshops’ popularity. Booksellers agree that social media has helped to promote the bookshop to younger readers who travel from neighbouring towns and cities to visit. However, a resistance to algorithmic recommendations popular on BookTok (as well as online bookstores like Amazon) might be one of the most common things driving young readers into physical bookshops. Almost everyone — both booksellers and young readers — were doubtful about giving BookTok too much credit for the popularity of shopping in physical shops. Some readers said they experienced a kind of “BookTok burnout”, and have actually sought out in-person recommendations as a solution to being pushed the same books. What really draws young readers into bookshops, though, is something more personal. Booksellers say readers come out for signed books and author talks, especially for younger readers wanting to connect with their favourite writers. “I think it’s kind of a misunderstanding that younger people want to do everything online,” Grace Gooda, the manager at Morocco Bound in Bermondsey says. “In our experience... it creates a relationship where they trust our recommendations and might take home something they wouldn’t have seen advertised elsewhere. ” This is what really makes physical bookshops appeal to many younger readers. “Bookshops aren’t just places to buy books, they’re places of community, of gathering and this is something that’s actively promoted by so many bookshops,” Ash, 29, from Yorkshire, says. “Speaking to staff to get book recommendations is often a path into hearing more about the community aspects of bookshops, too — it’s often more than just a book recommendation.” 63．What has the survey found about Gen Z? A．They are keen to live mostly through a screen. B．More and more visit bookstores for new books. C．They value booksellers’ advice more than expected. D．They rely heavily on online book recommendations. 64．What effect does the Internet have on bookshops, according to paragraph 2? A．It replaces the need for physical bookshops. B．It has a significant impact on bookshops’ popularity. C．It drives young readers away from physical bookshops. D．It expands the bookshops’ influence among young readers. 65．Why might young readers resist algorithmic recommendations? A．They are fed up with them. B．They trust advice from authors. C．They prefer to buy books in person. D．They think social media unreliable. 66．Why do physical bookshops appeal to younger readers? A．They sell signed books. B．They provide a deeper connection. C．They offer a wider range of services. D．They create better reading environment. Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

All Rise With just over 500 different species of shark classified, and a further two dozen waiting to be formally scientifically named, shark classification is not for the faint-hearted. 67 Sporting a wide, flattened head that is uniquely shaped like a double-headed hammer, it’s not hard to see how these sharks got their name. The eyes and openings at the end of the nose are located at either end of the “hammer” — or cephalopodic, as it’s technically called. 68 While undoubtedly giving the sharks extra lift, the cephalopodic may also help them make sharper turns in the water. The widely spaced eyes allow for effective three-D vision, while the head’s broad shape also houses a sense organ operating like an underwater metal detector, it helps the predators (捕食性动物) to detect prey (猎物) hidden on or just under the sea-floor deposit. Though widespread, the scalloped hammerhead, one of the nine species of hammerhead, is most commonly encountered in the Hammerhead Triangle in the eastern Pacific. While it can be relatively easily observed at a number of sites, particularly around seamounts, there are only a few places where it gathers in large numbers. 69 These groups of sharks tend to consist mostly of females, with the males remaining out in deeper waters. At locations such as the Hammerhead Triangle, numbers can reach into the hundreds or even, on occasion, thousands. As the sharks tend to assemble relatively close to the water’s surface, this is one ocean spectacle (壮观的景象) for diver. With its fins highly prized as the key ingredient in shark-fin soup, it’s no surprise that the scalloped hammerhead has experienced a dramatic population decline. Any sharks caught are often subjected to the frankly horrible treatment of ‘finning’, whereby fins are sliced off and the bodies thrown overboard. However, with hammerheads consistently ranking among the world’s top underwater wildlife attractions, shark tourism now contributes millions towards regional economies, thereby presenting a sustainable alternative to fishing them into extinction. 70 A．Added to this, the shark is often the victim of fishing bycatch. B．The explanation behind the shape of the hammerhead’s head has long been debated. C．But there is one group that everyone would immediately recognize the hammerheads. D．The scalloped hammerhead can be distinguished by the V-shaped cut at its cephalopodic. E．As most predators at the top of the food chain operate as ‘lone wolves’, this is considered highly unusual behaviour. F．Doubtless, those enjoying this magnificent spectacle agree that the fins look far better on the sharks than they do floating in a bowl of soup. V.

Exploring the Appeal of Vintage Today, the term “vintage” applies to almost everything. Vintage is more recent than an antique（古董）which is defined as 100 years old or more. It basically means reviving something old-fashioned or filled with memories. For an object to be considered vintage, it must be unique and genuine enough to retain at least some of its original charm. We buy vintage because it creates a sense of personal connection for us: it speaks to our childhood memories and that feels good. We also buy vintage because we’re rebels. Vintage is a protest against modern mainstream culture. In an age of technology, buying vintage is a refuge from our fast-paced, high-tech world. We want our children to make the most of their creativity and know how to entertain themselves without electronic gadgets. Ironically, early video games are now considered vintage. Of all the vintage objects, vintage toys are forever attractive for both adults and children. Although some toys have emotional value, others have high market value and are expensive to collect. Vintage toys that were made in small quantities often bring a higher value than those that were mass produced. That means, if you own one of the 2,000 “Peanuts” royal blue beanie baby elephants that were manufactured with a darker blue coat than originally intended, you might have something valuable on your hands. In fact, due to a manufacturer error, this is the most collectible beanie baby around — and worth about £3,000. If you’re motivated and feeling lucky, you can find deals on vintage toys by browsing charity shops, secondhand stores, community centers, flea markets and garage sales. You never know what kind of treasures are hiding at the bottom of a mixed box in someone’s basement, garage or attic. 71.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.
