She, along with her teammates,was 31 four-time world champions in international competitions between 1981 and 1985. This 32 of victories pushed women's volleyball to the forefront of Chinese sports discussions. Before this time, only table tennis had taken on a characterization as the sport in which the Chinese boasted about an absolute 33 . As the leading outside hitter, Lang herself was honored as the MVP of women's volleyball at the 1984 Olympics. After she retired from playing, Lang moved to the United States to experience what she called a "normal life", 34 herself from her national fame. In 1987, she started coaching the women's volleyball team at the University of New Mexico. Having honed(磨练)her coaching skills with these young athletes over a five-year period, Lang became the head coach of China women's national team in 1995. She 35 led the team to a silver medal at the 1996 Olympics and a second place at the World Championship two years later. In 2005, Lang set her 36 on a new challenge: coaching the U.S. women's national volleyball team. The first foreign female to coach a major sport for the United States, she devoted herself to the job, despite 37 criticism back home. Lang returned to coach the Chinese national team for the second time in 2013. After guiding the team to the gold medal at the 2016 Olympics, she became the first person in volleyball history to 38 Olympic titles both as a player and as a coach. However, when asked about her success, Lang just said, It's not important for me to make history. But I'm so happy for the girls. They trained very hard." Lang's spectacular life is displayed in a documentary 39 The Iron Hammer, named after her nickname. The film not only tells her story but showcases her internal strength and 40 to greatness in the sport. Furthermore, her ability to break down gender barriers has inspired women to achieve new heights in the sport, a legacy that still inspires hope in the youth of today. III. Reading Comprehension(45') 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. So far, to reduce congestion, cities have mainly tried a combination of discouraging driving and encouraging walking and cycling. Paris has 41 traffic from some streets, while Barcelona has received much international attention for its plan to organise the city into a series of"superblocks"---where cars are restricted to certain big roads, with streets in-between 42 pedestrian-only parks and playgrounds. But new technologies could bring more changes. Micromobility, including electric scooters(电动车) and bikes, is seen as a potential solution to moving people more 43 around cities. Dozens of start-ups including Bird, Lime, Voi and Bolt have 44 cities with shared scooters that can be rented by the minute. In a survey, some 34 per cent of riders in Portland, Oregon, said they had used a scooter 45 driving a personal car or using a ride-hailing app or taxi for their most recent ride. Scooter safety, however, is making city planners 46 . Sweden's transport agency is calling for electric scooters to be banned following the death of a man riding a Voi scooter in Helsingborg. For scooters to work, cities will have to 47 more safe pathways for them---possibly high above the city streets. Xiamen in southeast China, 48 , has built a nearly 8 km elevated cycle-way for bikes. BMW group and China's Tongji University, meanwhile, have drawn up even more ambitious plans for a network of covered tubes above the streets for scooter and bike traffic. They say several cities have expressed 49 . Electric self-driving cars could also greatly change the 50 of cities. Such cars could change the way cities are laid out, says Willem Strijbosch, head of self-driving at Tom Tom, the mapping company. "It could 51 a lot of space. If the vast majority of transport is done by self-driving vehicles, the streets could be narrower."he says. Self-driving cars communicating with each other through a wireless network would be able to pass each other with centimeter 52 . “You may be able to fit four lanes in where you previously had three. Traffic lights will be no longer needed. Cars will communicate by means of maps, and will 53 right of way at crossings in a different way." Public transport could become highly personalised, says Warwick Goodall, a partner at PA Consulting,who focuses on transport and mobility. "For the last century, transport has been about building train sets.The next decades of transport will be built around personal 54 .That is why Uber and other ride-hailing services have grown so quickly---you can hail a cab and it will arrive in two minutes. We will go from transport on 55 rails and routes to one that is highly personalised." 41.A.removed B.retired C. distinguished D.discouraged 42.A.traded with B. turned into C. based upon D. mistaken for 43.A.naturally B.directly C. efficiently D.regularly 44.A.flooded B.designed C.presented D.struck 45.

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) I am chocolate, and have always been, a symbol of love, richness, and joy. Lucky kids wear me across their mouths and on their fingertips as a sign of ultimate childhood satisfaction. I'm the Valentine's Day gift for celebrating romance. But prepare for your chocolate-loving hearts to break just a bit, folks. My life story is not entirely sweet. I am native to the equatorial regions of the Americas and have been round for several thousand years. I come from a small evergreen tree that grows football-shaped pods (荚)---not on its branches, like most fruit trees, but on the trunk. The pods have leathery skins that cover a sweet-sour flesh and house roughly 40 seeds each. I was likely first grown 5,000 years ago in current-day Ecuador---for something like wine. (Yes, my flesh can be made into an alcoholic drink.) But soon enough, my seeds---cacao beans---became the forever focus. The Mayans, among others, made them into cocoa flour and mixed with water to make a drink. One early European colonizer who tasted the mix said I was "more a drink for pigs than a drink for humanity." In time, he grew to enjoy the drink, eating his words as noblemen across Europe took to drinking a similar mixture made with rose water, egg yolks, or almonds. Beyond satisfying the early human sweet tooth, cacao beans have turned out to be full of compounds, like fiber, antioxidants, monounsaturated fat, and flavanols, which 21st-century humans know are important to overall health. To be perfectly honest, however, I didn't really become a treat for the masses as a result of technology. To this day, I am a product of labor and hardship. Since my pods ripen at irregular times and are attached to my tree by a delicate stem that would be damaged by a machine, all my harvesting and processing must be done by hand. Much of the mass-market chocolate you buy at the grocers is produced by the more than 2 million 12-to-18-year-old West African children who travel alone across borders to labor, often not paid at all, for cacao farmers in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the biggest chocolate-growing countries in the world. If you've lost your sweet tooth at the thought of this background, there are ways to consume me with a freer conscience. Look for labels on chocolate that indicate ethical labor standards. 56. Which of the following statements is true of chocolate? A.The pods grew on the tree branches. B.Only the flesh was made into a drink at first. C. People loved it because of the shape of the pods. D. It was European colonizers who brought it to America. 57. What does the phrase "eating his words"(paragraph 3) most probably mean? A. admitting he was wrong B. predicting what would happen C. promising he would take action D. finding an excuse for his behaviour 58. What does the writer imply about the production of chocolate? A. Technology has raised its production efficiency. B. Cacao farmers depend on the weather for the harvest. C. Much of chocolate is still produced in an unethical way. D. New machinery has been developed to produce chocolate 59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Sweet, But with a Dark Side B. Exploring the Health Benefits of Cocoa C. The Art and Science of Chocolate's Production D. A Sweet Affair with Irresistible Temptation (B) INNOVATION CUP 2027 Great minds come together at Merck What's in it for me?

(C) On January 15%, the Guardian showed off its new, smaller look, shifting from its distinctive "Berliner” format to a tabloid(娱乐小报) shape with a redesigned logo in black type. But the more dramatic makeover is of the financial books of Guardian Media Group (GMG), publisher of the Sunday Observer and the daily Guardian, which may find its new operation in the black next financial year. A newspaper business that two years ago was threatened with existentially worrying losses appears on the edge of breaking even. The turnaround is partly due to steep cost-cutting, which is a dog-bites-man story in journalism. But the Guardian would manage the achievement while still giving away news free online, and that is a story worth telling. In January 2016 David Pemsel, the new chief executive of GMG, and Katharine Viner, the new editor-in-chief of the Guardian, informed staff that GMG's endowment fund(捐赠基金)， meant to ensure the financial security of the paper in the long run, had lost £100m ($140m) in just half a year, taking it to740m. Mr Pemsel was advised by industry peers to cut costs and put online news behind a paywall. He and Ms Viner cut costs by 20%, or more than £50m. Alan Rusbridger, Ms Viner's predecessor(前任), had led the newspaper to global relevance with a large online readership. But he spent without thinking of the consequences. In two years GMG has reduced its employees by 400, to about 1,500. Yet unlike a growing number of newspapers, the Guardian has not put up a paywall. Instead it has pursued a membership model, asking online readers to contribute whatever they like. About 600,000 now do, with annual payments or one-off amounts. American readers tend to choose the latter option, Ms Viner says. GMG says the total figure amounts to tens of millions of pounds per year. Ms Viner says revenue from readers (including 200,000 print subscribers) is now greater than revenue from advertisers. The result is steadily declining operating losses: from £69m two years ago to £45m last financial year and, Mr Pemsel says, less than £25m in the year that ends on April 1st. He predicts breaking even next year. Giving up its own printing presses and going tabloid will help, saving several million pounds a year. The Guardian may now physically look more like its peers, but its turnaround story remains distinctive. 63. The phrase "in the black"(paragraph 1) most probably means A. making profit B. taking on a new look C. losing support D. enjoying great popularity 64. What does the writer imply about Alan Rusbridger? A. He advised GMG to cost costs. B. He got the Guardian into trouble. C. He was the founder of GMG's endowment fund. D. He was fired due to his failure to bring the Guardian online. 65. What does the Guardian allow its online readers to do? A. To pay as they like. B. To skip the advertisements C. To join its membership club. D. To connect to other newspapers. 66. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A. The Guardian has been reduced to a tabloid. B. The Guardian succeeds by giving away news free online. C. The Guardian turns around by looking more likes its peers. D. The Guardian has broken even by cutting its operation costs. Section C Directions: Read the following passage. 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. A. There is plenty of evidence from numerous studies that eating breakfast is good for your health. B. It also pointed out that the alleged benefits for children are weak and largely observational. C. It found that although people who skip breakfast do eat more later in the day, they don't eat enough to make up for the calories they skipped early on. D. Does eating 'the most important meal of the day' help you stay healthy? E. But just because people who skip breakfast tend to be less healthy, it doesn't mean that breakfast is the reason. F. Caution is needed when recommending breakfast for weight loss in adults, as it could have the opposite effect. The Truth About Breakfast Is skipping breakfast a terrible way to start your day? Will you get hungry later, eat all the wrong things can put on weight? That is certainly what Public Health England and NHS guidelines currently say. But is it true? 67 A study last year from the German Diabetes Centre in Dusseldorf, for example, found that when they compared a group of people who skipped breakfast with a group who ate breakfast,those who skipped it were not only heavier but were also 33 percent more likely to have type 2 diabetes(糖尿病) than those who didn't. 68 The fact is that people who regularly eat breakfast also smoke less, drink less and tend to be more active than those who skip breakfast, factors which are likely to be of much greater importance than when you decide to break your fast. The best way to resolve the question is to do randomised controlled studies in which you ask breakfast skippers to eat breakfast, and vice versa, and see what happens. The good news is that a large number of these studies have been done. The bad news, for the advocates of 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day', is that randomised controlled trials have, on the whole, shown that getting people to eat breakfast may not serve the intended purpose. A large analysis recently published in the British Medical Journal pulled together results from a dozen studies. 69 In fact, the scientists found that people who are asked to skip breakfast, on average, take in 260kcal less a day than those who eat it. They also weigh, on average, 0.44kg less. The researchers concluded that, “ 70 “. So the message is, if you enjoy eating breakfast (as I do), then fine. But if you prefer to wait and break your fast later in the day, then no harm done. IV.
