Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. If you’re chained to your phone and unhappy about it, you might consider receiving smartphone notifications at set __21__ throughout the day rather than as they come. Researchers at Duke University and Georgetown University found that study participants who received notifications set to arrive only three times a day reported better moods, higher __22__, and greater feelings of control over their phones. In comparison with participants who received notifications as usual and another group of participants who received no notifications at all, study participants also __23__ their phones less often. In total, 237 smartphone owners living in India participated in the study. Participants downloaded an Android app developed by the researchers that regulated the __24__ of phone notifications. Respondents also were asked to report in a daily diary __25__ measures including: “concentration, distraction, stress, anxiety, mood, productivity, social connectedness, and work enjoyment -- as well as phone-specific __26__: feeling of being interrupted by notifications, sense of missing out on notifications, sense of control over phone, social pressure to __27__ others, phone overuse, and intentional phone checking.” Participants were informed that they could always __28__ their notifications by opening individual apps. And the authors give their further explanation, “__29__, we only controlled the delivery of notifications (e.g., to the lock screen), rather than preventing messages from being accessed at all.” “Compared to those in the control condition (notifications as usual), participants whose notifications were set three-times-a-day felt more __30__, productive, in a better mood, and in greater control of their phones,” the researchers write, noting that this group also reported lower stress levels. “In contrast, participants who did not receive notifications at all __31__ few of those benefits, but experienced higher levels of anxiety and __32__ of missing out.” They’ve released the app, called Daywise, for personal use through Google Play. But Day-wise has been only __33__ on the Android platform so far. “Unlike the app Android, iOS (short for Internet-work Operating System) doesn’t allow __34__ party developers to control notifications to a degree we’d like for setting to work in a nuanced (细微的) manner,” Day-wise creator Ranjan Jagannathan told us. “Till we’re able to do this __35__ enough, we will not be able to build a powerful version of Day-wise for iOS. We are working for it.” 21. A. spots B. periods C. lengths D. intervals 22. A. standard B. productivity C. pay D. expectation 23. A. exchange B. replace C. unlock D. unfold 24.

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) Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral Chinese state media has praised a viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and fleeing the British Museum to make its way back home. The set of three short videos, entitled Escape from the British Museum, shows the teapot turning into a young woman in a green dress, who then engages a London-based Chinese journalist to help her reunite with her family. It appears to have struck a chord (弦) in China after first being released by independent vloggers on Douyin. By Monday evening, it had reportedly received more than 310 million views. The plot line taps into growing Chinese criticism of the British Museum after reports last month that more than 1,500 priceless objects, including gold jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, were missing, stolen or damaged. In August the state media Global Times called for the return of Chinese artifacts from the museum “free of charge” in the wake of the controversy. “The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that ‘foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum’,” it said. It strongly supported the video series for touching on a “powerful message” about the importance of cultural heritage and reflecting “Chinese people’s desiring for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics.” State broadcaster CCTV also gave the short films a glowing review saying: “We are very pleased to see Chinese young people are passionate about history and tradition... We are also looking forward to the early return of Chinese artifacts that have been displayed overseas.” The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. The new three-part show has triggered a wave of nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative plot that reduced them to tears by showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see pandas and watch a flag-raising ceremony on Tiananmen Square. 36．What excuse does Britain give for keeping other nations’ cultural objects in its museum? A．It has taken possession of these objects by all lawful means. B．These objects are safer and taken better care of in its museum. C．It is requested by other nations to protect their cultural objects. D．These objects may come to life, flee their countries and go viral. 37．What does the underlined word “repatriation”(Para.3) probably mean? A．Repair. B．Reflection. C．Reserve. D．Return. 38．Which of the following can we infer from the passage? A．China had already demanded the restoration of its cultural relics before the scandal. B．The museum’s awful management and security systems are involved in the scandal. C．The Britain Museum is about to return the cultural relics to China sooner or later. D．A London-based Chinese journalist has contributed a lot to the viral three-part video series. 39．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To appeal to Britain to return China’s cultural objects. B．To introduce a viral video series about a fleeing jade teapot. C．To arouse readers’ concern about Chinese cultural objects abroad. D．To praise Chinese young people’s passion for history and tradition. (B) With the fragrance industry expected to be worth an enormous $92 billion by 2024, there is big money to be made from scents. As the fashion and marketing industry moves away from targeting men and women and onto a more inclusive, non-gendered approach, fragrance companies are doing the exact same—creating products that can be worn happily by all genders. The smells we’re drawn to are inherently universal, across all genders and including all noses. With this in mind, we tested our noses against three of the brands that have made a play for gender neutrality. Eccentric Molecules The unique selling point of Eccentric Molecules is that it’s designed to smell completely different on every wearer, reacting with our natural scents to create a unique blend. With potential for sharing with a loved one, their packaging is a practical if a little unromantic, simple bottle. Still, upon opening their best seller “Molecule 01”, the journey begins. Upon first spray, the overwhelming scent is of alcohol, but it soon settles into a barely-there smell that recalls soft leather and feels surprisingly soothing on skin. Top Scent: Molecule 01, £72 for 100ml Clean Reserve Clean Reserve smells like it sounds—bright, fresh scents that would appeal to those who prefer light smell. It is also perfect for keeping in your gym or day bag to freshen up yourself. Packaging feels weighty and luxurious, without compromising sustainability—the bottle is made from sustainability-managed forest wood and even the alcohol is derived from corn. Top Scent: Rain, £82 for 100ml Laboratory Perfumes Packaged in chemistry-class bottles, this brand’s latest collection is strongly inspired by Britain and its natural abundance of herbs and flowers. What results are grown-up, powerful scents. Our clear favorites from the collection couldn’t be more different — “Samphire” is a refreshing coastal scent mixed with rose, while “Atlas” is a strong blend of wine and tobacco, an easy signature scent for day and night with minimal reapplication needed. Top Scent: Atlas, £65 for 100ml 40. The purpose of paragraph 1 is ________. A. to analyze how smells influence us B. to sell the idea of non-gendered fragrance C. to inform the readers of a latest fashion trend D. to justify the development of fragrance industry 41. The common feature of Eccentric Molecules and Clean Reserve is ________. A. practical and simple packaging B. sustainable packaging made from wood C. a soft and light scent D. smelling totally different on every user 42. For a customer who prefer strong mature smells that lasts a whole day, which product should he choose? A. Molecule 01 B. Rain C. Samphire D. Atlas (C) The Ebro Delta, in Spain, famous as a battleground during the Spanish Civil War, is now the setting for a different contest, one that is pitting rice farmers against two enemies: the rice-eating giant apple snail, and rising sea levels. What happens here will have a bearing on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands. Located on the Mediterranean just two hours south of Barcelona, the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent's most important rice-growing areas. As the sea creeps into these fresh-water marshes, however, rising salinity (盐分) is holding up rice production. At the same time, this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become to use one foe against the other. The battle is currently being waged on land, in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the banner "Project Neurice" are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency that makes European rice ideal for traditional Spanish and Italian dishes. “The project has two sides,” says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona , "the short-term fight against the snail, and a mid- to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project greater urgency." Originally from South America, the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta by Global Aquatic Technologies, a company that raised the snails for fresh-water aquariums, but failed to prevent their escape. For now, the giant apple snail's presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta. But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat. "The question is not whether it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when." Over the next year and a half, investigators will test the various strains of salt-tolerant rice they've bred. In 2018, farmers will plant the varieties with the most promise in the Ebro Delta and Europe's other two main rice-growing regions—along the Po in Italy, and France's Rhone. A season in the field will help determine which, if any, of the varieties are ready for commercialization. As an EU-funded effort, the search for salt-tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries. Each team is crossbreeding a local European short-grain rice with a long-grain Asian variety that carries the salt-resistant gene. The scientists are breeding successive generations to arrive at varieties that incorporate salt tolerance but keep about 97 percent of the European rice genome (基因组). 43. What may be the most effective strategy for rice farmers to employ in fighting their enemies? A. Striking the weaker enemy first. C. Eliminating the enemy one by one. B. Killing two birds with one stone. D. Using one evil to combat the other. 44. What do we learn about "Project Neurice" ? A. Its goals will have to be realized at a cost. B. It aims to increase the yield of Spanish rice. C. Its immediate priority is to bring the pest under control. D. It tries to kill the snails with the help of climate change. 45. What does Neurice project manager say about the giant apple snail? A. It can survive only on southern European wetlands. B. It will invade other rice-growing regions of Europe. C. It multiplies at a speed beyond human imagination. D. It was introduced into the rice fields on purpose. 46. What is the ultimate goal of the EU-funded program? A. Cultivating ideal salt-resistant rice varieties. B. Increasing the absorbency of the Spanish rice. C. Introducing Spanish rice to the rest of Europe. D. Popularizing the rice crossbreeding technology. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A．She explains the source of the gap, and how it’s changed over time and how it varies with the stage of development. B．The Nobel committee credits Goldin with finding missing data to better explain continuing differences between both the pay and work involvement, or participation, of men and women. C．I’ve always been an optimist. D．I looked at women whose jobs went uncounted, such as those who worked on farms alongside their husbands or made clothing at home. E．The announcement went a tiny step to closing the Nobel committee’s own gender gap. F．For parts of history, systematic labor market records did not exist, and, if they did, information about women was missing. Nobel economics prize goes to professor for research on the workplace gender gap The Nobel economics prize was awarded Monday to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender gap in the labor market. 47 Goldin is just the third woman to win the prize out of 93 economics laureates. Claudia Goldin has studied 200 years of women’s participation in the workplace, showing that despite continued economic growth, women’s pay did not continuously catch up to men’s and a divide still exists despite women gaining higher levels of education than men. “ 48 But when I look at the numbers, I think something has happened in America, that we, in the 1990s, our labor force participation rate for women was the highest in the world, and now it isn’t the highest in the world,” Goldin told The Associated Press. “We have to step back and ask questions about piecing together the family, the home, together with the marketplace and employment,” she said. Goldin’s research does not offer solutions, but it allows policymakers to tackle the entrenched problem, said economist Randi Hjalmarsson, a member of the Nobel committee. “ 49 And therefore, there is no single policy,” Hjalmarsson said. “It’s a complicated policy question because if you don’t know the underlying reason, a certain policy won’t work.” However, “by finally understanding the problem and calling it by the right name, we will be able to pave a better route forward,” Hjalmarsson said. Goldin said that what happens in people’s homes reflects what happens in the workplace, with women often taking jobs that allow them to be on call at home work that often pays less. “Ways in which we can even things out or to create more couple equity also leads to more gender equality,” she said. Goldin had to become a data “detective” as she sought to fill in missing data for her research. 50 “So how did Claudia Goldin overcome this missing data challenge? She had to be a detective to dig through the archives to find novel data sources and creative ways to use them to measure these unknowns,” Hjalmarsson added. III. Summary Writing 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.  Want to be a Smart Gift Giver? During all kinds of holidays, millions of people will buy gifts for loved ones, which is great except that tons of those people will make the same glaring mistake, and buy the wrong gifts. What’s going on ? Gift buying has become a deceivingly selfish pursuit. We don’t actually look for things people want to receive. Instead, we tend to look for things that we want to give. It’s a subtle, but pretty significant problem. Research has shown that givers tend to value the gifts they buy considerably more than receivers. Gifts are valued roughly 10 to 33 percent less by receivers than what givers paid for them. Joel Waldfogel noted this in Scroogenomics: Why You Shouldn’t Buy Presents for the Holidays, his 2009 book on gift-giving. The difference seems to come from a simple misplaced belief that thoughtful presents are the best presents. They are not. In fact, they might just be the worst presents. The more thought you put into a present, the more likely you are to stray from buying what the person you are buying the presents for actually wants. In other words, people let their gift-giving egos (自我) get in the way of great presents, especially when the receiver is someone they want to show they know really well. Fortunately, the answer to our collective insistence on guessing what people want is simple: stop it. If that’s too impersonal, there’s another helpful rule of thumb (经验之谈). Instead of buying restrictive gifts, like gift cards for specific stores, buy gifts that allow for flexibility, like gift cards that can be used more broadly (or, better yet, cash). People tend to prefer gift cards to actual gifts, and cash to both, Steffel explained. Steffel’s latest research, which focuses on gift card giving, points to exactly this point -- that versatility (用途广泛) is the key to better gift giving. IV.
