Dear Mr/MS,
I am glad to know that Asian Youth Environmental Forum will be held next month. I sincerely want to participate in the activity. Here I feel honored to share my information with you as follows.
Last summer holiday I ever joined in an activity about environmental protection in our community, which impressed me deeply. This activity aimed to appeal to our residents to take actions in order to beautify our community. Under of the leadership of staff in our community, I was given a job to give out our leaflets about environmental protection and gave a speech about environmental protection to our residents. Through some practical activities, this not only improved our environmental awareness, but also made our community more beautiful and more harmonious
In conclusion, I learned a lot from this activity. I am greatly convinced that I am qualified to take part in Asian Youth Environmental Forum. Meanwhile this forum will also provide a wonderful opportunity to show my talent on my environmental protection, motivating my potential to be devoted to environmental protection.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother in New York. He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag(时差); it was that Monday morning always began with a team meeting and , over the months, he had grown to hate them.
Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agenda(会议议 程); they indulged in(沉溺于)game playing ; and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough---there was all the moaning afterwards at the meeting like “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.”
As this morning’s meeting began, Martin prepared himself for the usual dullness and boredom. But, as the meeting progressed, he became aware of a strange background noise. At first, he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London. But as he concentrated on the noise, it became a little clearer.
He realized, to his amazement, that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even more than the acquisition of this strange power, was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be popular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.
Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions (干涉), based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So, John, are you really saying.....” “Susan, do you really think that?” “Tom, have you got an idea on how we could take this forward?” They looked at him, puzzled. In truth, he felt rather proud of his newly -acquired talent.
As the meeting progressed, it was clear to him that each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of the others. The game playing started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.
The meeting ended. As people left the room, Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we’ve ever had.” “All meetings should be like that,” “ In future, I’m going to say what I think.”
56. It is known from the first paragraph that Martin_____.
A. just came back from his business trip in New York
B. was found to suffer from a serious heart disease during the trip
C. had a good time during his fortnight’s stay in New York
D. didn’t like his work in his London office
57. Why did Martin hate his company’s team meeting?
A. Because it had to be held every Monday morning.
B. Because he was tired of hosting such a meeting
C. Because he couldn’t control the meeting that was out of order.
D. Because the meeting atmosphere wasn’t open and trusting.
58. The underlined part “his newly-acquired talent” in Paragraph 5 means that he could ______.
A. still hear the engine noise of the plane though he was back
B. clearly hear what the members of the meeting were saying
C. actually control the thoughts of the members of the meeting
D. express what the meeting members were thinking based on their words and their thoughts
59. What do we know about this Monday morning’s meeting from the passage?
A. Martin made people say what they were thinking immediately the meeting began.
B. Martin was angry at the dullness of the meeting at the beginning of the meeting..
C. Martin led people to express their real thoughts with the meeting progressing.
D. Many members of the meeting played games and told lies at the meeting all the time.
60. It is inferred from the last two paragraphs that towards the end of the meeting Martin would hear such words as “_______”
A. I was thinking of making a suggestion ---but I couldn’t be bothered.
B. I have got an idea on how we could take this forward. I think we should...
C. The usual people say the usual things, so I have no other new ideas.
D. I could have imagined on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.

C
You have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another. But a report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs.
In New Zealand, farmers are using drones (无人机) to herd and monitor livestock, taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely, Radio New Zealand reports, but they have appropriated (盗用) one of the animal’s most potent tools : barking.
The DJ-Innovations (DJI) Mavic Enterprise, a $3,500 drone favored by farmers, has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker, giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs. Corey Lambeth, a shepherd at a farm with sheep and cows, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. “That’s the one thing I’ve noticed when you’re moving cows and calves—that the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they’ve never done that,” he said, noting that it means the drones move livestock faster, with less stress, than the dogs do.
Farmers told RNZ the drones come in handy for more than just herding cows and sheep. The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, tracking water and feed levels and checking on livestock health without disturbing the animals.
Jason Rentoul told RNZ last spring that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone. “Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot, the drones really saved a lot of man-hours,” he said. “The drone does the higher bits that you can’t see from the ground, and you would have to walk half an hour to go and have a look and then go, ‘Oh, there was no sheep there.’”
Farmers around the world are using drones. In South Africa, they monitor crop health from above, which boosts harvests, according to CN. In California, winemakers use drones equipped with sensors to grow healthier grapes, according to MIT Technology Review. Because drones fly closer to the ground, they are able to provide high-resolution images that are less expensive than hiring someone to fly an aircraft over a field, the publication reported.
In New Zealand, farmers say some dogs are learning to work alongside drones, identifying the machines as more co-worker than foe. “A good herding dog, he’s already figured out if the drones are working on that side. I’ll go over here (to the other side) and work over here,” Rentoul said. “For now,” farmers say, “there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge”.
“There’s definitely going to be places for dogs always on farm” Lambeth said. “The one down side of the Mavic drones or anything electronic is that you still need to bring them in and charge them.”
61. According to the passage, the drones can’ t replace the dogs entirely because ________.
A. the drones can’t bark as loudly as the dogs do.
B. the drones’ power and working conditions are limited.
C. the drones are much more expensive than the animal.
D. cows and calves are not used to seeing the drones.
62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland.
B. The drones can only copy the dogs’ barking with the current technology.
C. The drones are multifunctional and leave the animals undisturbed.
D. The cost of using drones to monitor grapes is half the cost of hiring someone.
63. What are the main disadvantages of the drones?
A. Short service time and simple function.
B. Continuous maintenance and system upgrades.
C. Vulnerability to fierce animals and extreme weather.
D. Frequent absence and restricted battery capacity.
64. Why do farmers around the world like using drones?
A. Because drones have no motors.
B. Because using drones hardly meet the demand of management.
C. Because using drones can not only bring about too much convenience ,but also reduce the cost.
D. Because it is out of the question for using drones to provide high-resolution images.
65. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Robots are replacing human labor
B. Drones help keep livestock in line
C. Herding dogs will remain on farm
D. Farming is becoming surprisingly effective.
【答案】61. B 62. C 63. D 64. C 65. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了无人机代替农场牧羊犬的优势,同时也指出了无人机管理牛群所存在的一些劣势,比如使用寿命短,不能在恶劣气候下工作等缺点,从而得出无人机目前还无法在畜牧业管理中全面取代牧羊犬。
【61题解析】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge”(人们仍然需要牧羊犬,主要是因为它们的寿命比无人机长,可以在恶劣天气下工作,而且不需要每隔几个小时就用电源插座充电。)可知,无人机有待机时间短,经常要充电,不能在恶劣条件下工作等劣势,故而无法完全替代牧羊犬。故选B项。
【62题解析】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段后两句“Corey Lambeth, a shepherd at a farm with sheep and cows, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. “That’s the one thing I’ve noticed when you’re moving cows and calves—that the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they’ve never done that,” he said, noting that it means the drones move livestock faster, with less stress, than the dogs do.”(科里·兰伯斯是一家牧场的牧羊人,他在接受新西兰广播公司采访时表示,这些机器的效果令人惊讶。他说:“这是我注意到的一件事,当你让牛群和小牛移动时,老牛能抵抗狗,但用无人机,它们从来没有这样做过。”他指出,这意味着无人机可以使牛群移动更加快速而没有压迫感。)及第四段第二句“The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, tracking water and feed levels and checking on livestock health without disturbing the animals.”(这些机器人可以让农民从远处监控他们的土地,跟踪水和饲料水平,并在不打扰动物的情况下检查牲畜的健康状况。)可知,无人机的功能是多样化的,而且不会给牲畜带去干扰。故选C项。
【63题解析】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““There’s definitely going to be places for dogs always on farm,” Lambeth said. “The one down side of the Mavic drones or anything electronic is that you still need to bring them in and charge them.””(兰贝斯说:“农场里肯定会有狗的地方。”“Mavic无人机或任何电子产品的一个缺点是,你仍然需要把它们带来并给它们充电。”)可知,无人机不能长时间待在需要看管牛羊的地方,必须经常取回充电。也就是说,无人机由于电池容量有限,经常要离开看管牛羊的地方,取回充电一段时间。故选D项。
【64题解析】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Farmers around the world are using drones. In South Africa, they monitor crop health from above, which boosts harvests, according to CN. In California, winemakers use drones equipped with sensors to grow healthier grapes, according to MIT Technology Review. Because drones fly closer to the ground, they are able to provide high-resolution images that are less expensive than hiring someone to fly an aircraft over a field, the publication reported.”(世界各地的农民都在使用无人机。据中国新闻网报道,在南非,他们从上方监测作物健康状况,从而提高收成。据《麻省理工科技评论》报道,在加州,酿酒师使用配备传感器的无人机种植更健康的葡萄。据报道,因为无人机飞得离地面更近,所以它们能够提供高分辨率的图像,而且比雇人驾驶飞机飞越一片田地要便宜。)可知,无人机方便快捷而且成本低,故而世界各地的农民都青睐它。故选C项。
【65题解析】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“In New Zealand, farmers are using drones to herd and monitor livestock, taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely, Radio New Zealand reports, but they have appropriated one of the animal’s most potent tools : barking.”(在新西兰,农民们正在使用无人机放牧和监控牲畜,取代了一个多世纪以来一直由高智能狗占据的位置。据新西兰广播电台报道,机器人并没有完全取代狗,但它们取代了狗最有力的工具之一:吠叫。)并结合下文无人机在畜牧业中的优势和弊端的介绍可知,整篇文章围绕无人机帮助农场主管理牛羊群而展开,故B项Drones help keep livestock in line(无人机正帮助管理维持牛羊群的秩序)为最佳标题。故选B项。
D

The gender gap still exists when it comes to salary, confidence, happiness, and the number of women in the C-suite and science. Women aren’t as happy as they were in the 1970s, and their happiness relative to that of men has taken a nosedive (暴跌).
But it’s not all doom and gloom (无望). A recent study shows there’s one career path in which women’s happiness is greater than men’s: entrepreneurship. One out of every 10 women in the U.S. today is starting or running her own business. More than a third of those women want to expand their business beyond five employees. Women with established businesses ranked their happiness nearly three times as high as women who are not entrepreneurs.
Women are most likely to run or start a business between the ages of 35 and 44 — a period in which moms are more likely to be taking care of young kids at home. The flexibility of entrepreneurship may very well attract such women during this busy time in their lives. “Our research found that the benefits of entrepreneurship are beyond economic and social value,”professor Donna Kelley and the lead author of the report said. “Clearly, entrepreneurship provides women with a most satisfying career choice.”
The happiness doesn’t translate for women just getting started with their business, who report lower levels of happiness than women working for an employer, though still slightly higher levels than men in the same position as them. The reason for this may very well be the gender confidence gap. As women’s businesses mature and become more successful, their levels of happiness surge. “Confidence is a belief in one’s ability to succeed, a belief that stimulates action. In turn, taking action improves one’s belief in one’s ability to succeed.”they write.
And the links between confidence and happiness are plentiful. The happiness-success link exists not only because success makes people happy, but also because positive emotion creates success. For women, entrepreneurial success may be the key to a happy career. And as more women start and run their own businesses, the world may just be a happier place.
66. It can be known that women’s happiness levels ________.
A. are the same as those of five decades ago.
B. are much lower than those of five decades ago.
C. are much higher than those of five years ago.
D. are a little lower than those of five years ago.
67. Who are much happier according to the text?
A. Male bosses. B. Jobless females. C. Female bosses.D. Male employees.
68. What is Donna Kelley’s attitude to woman entrepreneurship?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Negative.
69. What does the underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Increase. B. Disappear. C. Decrease. D. Remain.
70. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. There are secrets to female entrepreneurial success.
B. The close happiness-success connection and its active effect on women.
C. More women will start to run their own business in the future.
D. There is a close connection between happiness and success.
【答案】66. B 67. C 68. A 69. A 70. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究,研究表明创业有助于提升女性幸福感。
【66题解析】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Women aren’t as happy as they were in the 1970s, and their happiness relative to that of men has taken a nosedive.”(女性不像20世纪70年代那样幸福,她们的幸福感相对于男性来说已经急剧下降。)可知,女性的幸福感比50年前要低得多。故选B项。
【67题解析】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“A recent study shows there’s one career path in which women’s happiness is greater than men’s: entrepreneurship.”(最近的一项研究表明,有一种职业道路上女性的幸福感要高于男性:创业。)及最后两句“More than a third of those women want to expand their business beyond five employees.Women with established businesses ranked their happiness nearly three times as high as women who are not entrepreneurs.”(其中超过三分之一的女性希望将业务扩大到5名员工以上。创业女性的幸福指数是非创业女性的近三倍。)可知,女老板的幸福感更高。故选C项。
【68题解析】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句““Our research found that the benefits of entrepreneurship are beyond economic and social value,”professor Donna Kelley and the lead author of the report said. “Clearly, entrepreneurship provides women with a most satisfying career choice.””(该报告的主要作者Donna Kelley教授说:“我们的研究发现,创业的好处超出了经济和社会价值。”“显然,创业为女性提供了一个最令人满意的职业选择。”)可知,Donna Kelley认为创业对女性有极大的好处,故她对女性创业持乐观的态度。故选A项。
【69题解析】
词句猜测题。根据第四段划线词所在句子“As women’s businesses mature and become more successful, their levels of happiness....”(随着女性事业的成熟和成功,她们的幸福水平也会……。)并结合第一句“The happiness doesn’t translate for women just getting started with their business, who report lower levels of happiness than women working for an employer, though still slightly higher levels than men in the same position as them.”(这种幸福感并不适用于刚开始创业的女性,她们的幸福感水平低于为雇主工作的女性,但仍略高于与她们处于相同职位的男性。)并结合上文提到的创业对女性的好处可知,虽然刚开始创业的女性幸福感水平低于为雇主工作的女性,但随着她们事业的成熟和成功,创业的好处会显现出来,她们的幸福水平也会提高。故推知surge意为“提高”。故选A项。
【70题解析】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“And the links between confidence and happiness are plentiful. The happiness-success link exists not only because success makes people happy, but also because positive emotion creates success. For women, entrepreneurial success may be the key to a happy career. And as more women start and run their own businesses, the world may just be a happier place.”(自信和幸福之间的联系很多。快乐与成功的联系不仅因为成功使人快乐,而且因为积极的情绪创造了成功。对女性来说,创业成功可能是幸福事业的关键。随着越来越多的女性开始经营自己的企业,世界可能会变得更加幸福。)可知,本段主要讨论了幸福与成功的密切联系及其对女性的积极影响。故选B项。

第四部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
When Poppy Johnson, a 23-year-old London-based college student, was only five, she accidentally saw Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video. Ever since then, she has been suffering from a fear of pop legend Michael Jackson.
Every time she sees or hears anything about Michael Jackson — a song, an interview or even a poster, she will experience a moment of fear. Her fear even grows stronger at home, as Poppy’s parents are big fans of Michael Jackson and have a collection of souvenirs around their house. But she never tells them this would add to her fear at home. Poppy explained, “I never really spoke about it or told it to other people, as I worried they’d think I was silly.”
Managing her fear of Michael Jackson hasn’t been easy for Poppy, who would often excuse herself whenever she was out with her friends and a Michael Jackson song started playing. She would then spend a few minutes somewhere else trying to take her mind off it.
Earlier this year, when the documentary Finding Neverland came out, news and photos of Michael Jackson were everywhere online. At that time, Poppy’s life was quite tough and she always felt that her heart was in her mouth.
Poppy recently started opening up about her unusual fear and even started taking steps to handle it. She started seeing a hypnotherapist (催眠师). After four weeks, she now says things are getting better. In addition, she told her parents that the things related to Michael Jackson at home made her feel fearful and finally her parents understood her and completely removed all the things about Michael Jackson.
Now Poppy’s situation is getting better and better. She reminds anyone else who experiences similar things that it is important to seek help as early as possible.
71. What made Poppy feel fearful at home? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
72. How did Poppy usually avoid things related to Michael Jackson in public?(no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
73.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean? (no more than 5 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
74. What did Poppy do to deal with her fear? (no more than 15 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
75. What do you think of Poppy’s situation and what is your suggestion? (no more than 20 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】71. The souvenirs about Michael Jackson collected by her parents.
72. By trying to go somewhere to focus on something else.
73. She felt very frightened.
74. She turned to a hypnotherapist for help and opened her heart to her parents.
75. I think that her situation is fearful. It’s unwise to keep problems to ourselves and we should bravely face problems and ask for help.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了小女孩波比害怕任何有关迈克尔·杰克逊的东西,最后在催眠师和父母的帮助下终于克服心理障碍的故事,告诫我们有心理问题要尽早寻求帮助。
【56题解析】
考查细节理解。根据第二段前两句“Every time she sees or hears anything about Michael Jackson—a song, an interview or even a poster, she will experience a moment of fear. Her fear even grows stronger at home, as Poppy’s parents are big fans of Michael Jackson and have a collection of souvenirs around their house.”(每当她看到或听到任何关于迈克尔·杰克逊的东西——一首歌、一次采访甚至一张海报,她都会感到恐惧。波比的父母是迈克尔·杰克逊的忠实粉丝,家里到处都是纪念品,所以她的恐惧在家里变得更加强烈。)可知,在家里波比父母收集的关于迈克尔·杰克逊的纪念品使她害怕。故答案为The souvenirs about Michael Jackson collected by her parents.
【57题解析】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Managing her fear of Michael Jackson hasn’t been easy for Poppy, who would often excuse herself whenever she was out with her friends and a Michael Jackson song started playing. She would then spend a few minutes somewhere else trying to take her mind off it.”(对波比来说,克服对迈克尔·杰克逊的恐惧并不容易,每当她和朋友出去玩,听到迈克尔·杰克逊的歌时,她就会找借口走开。然后她会在别的地方呆上几分钟,试图转移她的注意力。)可知,在公开场合,当听到迈克尔·杰克逊的歌时,她通过试着去其他地方专注于其他事情来转移自己的注意力。故答案为By trying to go somewhere to focus on something else.
【58题解析】
考查短语猜测。根据第四段第一句“Earlier this year, when the documentary Finding Neverland came out, news and photos of Michael Jackson were everywhere online.”(今年早些时候,当纪录片《寻找梦幻岛》上映时,迈克尔·杰克逊的新闻和照片在网上到处都是。)并结合上文描述的波比对迈克尔·杰克逊的恐惧可知,当迈克尔·杰克逊的新闻和照片随处可见时,她会感到非常害怕恐惧。故推知her heart was in her mouth意为“感到害怕的”。故答案为She felt very frightened.
【59题解析】
考查细节理解。根据第五段“Poppy recently started opening up about her unusual fear and even started taking steps to handle it. She started seeing a hypnotherapist. After four weeks, she now says things are getting better. In addition, she told her parents that the things related to Michael Jackson at home made her feel fearful and finally her parents understood her and completely removed all the things about Michael Jackson.”(波比最近开始公开她不寻常的恐惧,甚至开始采取措施来处理它。她开始看催眠治疗师。四周后,她说现在情况有所好转。此外,她告诉她的父母,家里有关迈克尔·杰克逊的事情让她感到害怕,最后她的父母理解了她,彻底删除了所有关于迈克尔·杰克逊的事情。)可知,她通过向催眠治疗师寻求帮助,并向父母敞开心扉来解决她的恐惧。故答案为She turned to a hypnotherapist for help and opened her heart to her parents.
【60题解析】
开放性题目。要求描述自己对波比的处境的看法并提出建议。言之有理即可,比如认为她的处境很可怕,把问题藏在心里是不明智的,我们应该勇敢地面对问题,寻求帮助。故答案为I think that her situation is fearful . It’s unwise to keep problems to ourselves and we should bravely face problems and ask for help.或I think her situation gives us a good warning lesson. It is important to seek help as early as possible, whoever experiences similar things.

Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother in New York. He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag(时差); it was that Monday morning always began with a team meeting and , over the months, he had grown to hate them.
Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agenda(会议议 程); they indulged in(沉溺于)game playing ; and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough---there was all the moaning afterwards at the meeting like “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.”
As this morning’s meeting began, Martin prepared himself for the usual dullness and boredom. But, as the meeting progressed, he became aware of a strange background noise. At first, he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London. But as he concentrated on the noise, it became a little clearer.
He realized, to his amazement, that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even more than the acquisition of this strange power, was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be popular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.
Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions (干涉), based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So, John, are you really saying.....” “Susan, do you really think that?” “Tom, have you got an idea on how we could take this forward?” They looked at him, puzzled. In truth, he felt rather proud of his newly -acquired talent.
As the meeting progressed, it was clear to him that each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of the others. The game playing started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.

You have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another. But a report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs.
In New Zealand, farmers are using drones (无人机) to herd and monitor livestock, taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely, Radio New Zealand reports, but they have appropriated (盗用) one of the animal’s most potent tools : barking.
The DJ-Innovations (DJI) Mavic Enterprise, a $3,500 drone favored by farmers, has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker, giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs. Corey Lambeth, a shepherd at a farm with sheep and cows, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. “That’s the one thing I’ve noticed when you’re moving cows and calves—that the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they’ve never done that,” he said, noting that it means the drones move livestock faster, with less stress, than the dogs do.
Farmers told RNZ the drones come in handy for more than just herding cows and sheep. The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, tracking water and feed levels and checking on livestock health without disturbing the animals.
Jason Rentoul told RNZ last spring that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone. “Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot, the drones really saved a lot of man-hours,” he said. “The drone does the higher bits that you can’t see from the ground, and you would have to walk half an hour to go and have a look and then go, ‘Oh, there was no sheep there.’”
Farmers around the world are using drones. In South Africa, they monitor crop health from above, which boosts harvests, according to CN. In California, winemakers use drones equipped with sensors to grow healthier grapes, according to MIT Technology Review. Because drones fly closer to the ground, they are able to provide high-resolution images that are less expensive than hiring someone to fly an aircraft over a field, the publication reported.
In New Zealand, farmers say some dogs are learning to work alongside drones, identifying the machines as more co-worker than foe. “A good herding dog, he’s already figured out if the drones are working on that side. I’ll go over here (to the other side) and work over here,” Rentoul said. “For now,” farmers say, “there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge”.
“There’s definitely going to be places for dogs always on farm” Lambeth said. “The one down side of the Mavic drones or anything electronic is that you still need to bring them in and charge them.”
61. According to the passage, the drones can’ t replace the dogs entirely because ________.
A. the drones can’t bark as loudly as the dogs do.
B. the drones’ power and working conditions are limited.
C. the drones are much more expensive than the animal.
D. cows and calves are not used to seeing the drones.
62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland.
B. The drones can only copy the dogs’ barking with the current technology.
C. The drones are multifunctional and leave the animals undisturbed.
D. The cost of using drones to monitor grapes is half the cost of hiring someone.
63. What are the main disadvantages of the drones?
A. Short service time and simple function.
B. Continuous maintenance and system upgrades.
C. Vulnerability to fierce animals and extreme weather.
D. Frequent absence and restricted battery capacity.
64. Why do farmers around the world like using drones?
A. Because drones have no motors.
B. Because using drones hardly meet the demand of management.
C. Because using drones can not only bring about too much convenience ,but also reduce the cost.
D. Because it is out of the question for using drones to provide high-resolution images.
65. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Robots are replacing human labor
B. Drones help keep livestock in line
C. Herding dogs will remain on farm
D. Farming is becoming surprisingly effective.

There’s a lot being said out there about the state of women in this country. The gender gap still exists when it comes to salary, confidence, happiness, and the number of women in the C-suite and science. Women aren’t as happy as they were in the 1970s, and their happiness relative to that of men has taken a nosedive (暴跌).
But it’s not all doom and gloom (无望). A recent study shows there’s one career path in which women’s happiness is greater than men’s: entrepreneurship. One out of every 10 women in the U.S. today is starting or running her own business. More than a third of those women want to expand their business beyond five employees. Women with established businesses ranked their happiness nearly three times as high as women who are not entrepreneurs.
Women are most likely to run or start a business between the ages of 35 and 44 — a period in which moms are more likely to be taking care of young kids at home. The flexibility of entrepreneurship may very well attract such women during this busy time in their lives. “Our research found that the benefits of entrepreneurship are beyond economic and social value,”professor Donna Kelley and the lead author of the report said. “Clearly, entrepreneurship provides women with a most satisfying career choice.”
The happiness doesn’t translate for women just getting started with their business, who report lower levels of happiness than women working for an employer, though still slightly higher levels than men in the same position as them. The reason for this may very well be the gender confidence gap. As women’s businesses mature and become more successful, their levels of happiness surge. “Confidence is a belief in one’s ability to succeed, a belief that stimulates action. In turn, taking action improves one’s belief in one’s ability to succeed.”they write.
And the links between confidence and happiness are plentiful. The happiness-success link exists not only because success makes people happy, but also because positive emotion creates success. For women, entrepreneurial success may be the key to a happy career. And as more women start and run their own businesses, the world may just be a happier place.
66. It can be known that women’s happiness levels ________.
A. are the same as those of five decades ago.
B. are much lower than those of five decades ago.
C. are much higher than those of five years ago.
D. are a little lower than those of five years ago.
67. Who are much happier according to the text?
A. Male bosses. B. Jobless females. C. Female bosses.D. Male employees.
68. What is Donna Kelley’s attitude to woman entrepreneurship?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Negative.
69. What does the underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Increase. B. Disappear. C. Decrease. D. Remain.
70. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. There are secrets to female entrepreneurial success.
B. The close happiness-success connection and its active effect on women.
C. More women will start to run their own business in the future.
D. There is a close connection between happiness and success.

When Poppy Johnson, a 23-year-old London-based college student, was only five, she accidentally saw Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video. Ever since then, she has been suffering from a fear of pop legend Michael Jackson.
Every time she sees or hears anything about Michael Jackson — a song, an interview or even a poster, she will experience a moment of fear. Her fear even grows stronger at home, as Poppy’s parents are big fans of Michael Jackson and have a collection of souvenirs around their house. But she never tells them this would add to her fear at home. Poppy explained, “I never really spoke about it or told it to other people, as I worried they’d think I was silly.”
Managing her fear of Michael Jackson hasn’t been easy for Poppy, who would often excuse herself whenever she was out with her friends and a Michael Jackson song started playing. She would then spend a few minutes somewhere else trying to take her mind off it.
Earlier this year, when the documentary Finding Neverland came out, news and photos of Michael Jackson were everywhere online. At that time, Poppy’s life was quite tough and she always felt that her heart was in her mouth.
Poppy recently started opening up about her unusual fear and even started taking steps to handle it. She started seeing a hypnotherapist (催眠师). After four weeks, she now says things are getting better. In addition, she told her parents that the things related to Michael Jackson at home made her feel fearful and finally her parents understood her and completely removed all the things about Michael Jackson.
Now Poppy’s situation is getting better and better. She reminds anyone else who experiences similar things that it is important to seek help as early as possible.

Martin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother in New York. He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag(时差); it was that Monday morning always began with a team meeting and , over the months, he had grown to hate them.
Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agenda(会议议 程); they indulged in(沉溺于)game playing ; and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough---there was all the moaning afterwards at the meeting like “I could have improved on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.”
As this morning’s meeting began, Martin prepared himself for the usual dullness and boredom. But, as the meeting progressed, he became aware of a strange background noise. At first, he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London. But as he concentrated on the noise, it became a little clearer.
He realized, to his amazement, that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him, even more than the acquisition of this strange power, was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be popular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.
Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions (干涉), based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So, John, are you really saying.....” “Susan, do you really think that?” “Tom, have you got an idea on how we could take this forward?” They looked at him, puzzled. In truth, he felt rather proud of his newly -acquired talent.
As the meeting progressed, it was clear to him that each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of the others. The game playing started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.
The meeting ended. As people left the room, Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we’ve ever had.” “All meetings should be like that,” “ In future, I’m going to say what I think.”
56. It is known from the first paragraph that Martin_____.
A. just came back from his business trip in New York
B. was found to suffer from a serious heart disease during the trip
C. had a good time during his fortnight’s stay in New York
D. didn’t like his work in his London office
57. Why did Martin hate his company’s team meeting?

B. Because he was tired of hosting such a meeting
C. Because he couldn’t control the meeting that was out of order.

58. The underlined part “his newly-acquired talent” in Paragraph 5 means that he could ______.
A. still hear the engine noise of the plane though he was back
B. clearly hear what the members of the meeting were saying
C. actually control the thoughts of the members of the meeting
D. express what the meeting members were thinking based on their words and their thoughts
59. What do we know about this Monday morning’s meeting from the passage?
A. Martin made people say what they were thinking immediately the meeting began.
B. Martin was angry at the dullness of the meeting at the beginning of the meeting..
C. Martin led people to express their real thoughts with the meeting progressing.
D. Many members of the meeting played games and told lies at the meeting all the time.
60. It is inferred from the last two paragraphs that towards the end of the meeting Martin would hear such words as “_______”
A. I was thinking of making a suggestion ---but I couldn’t be bothered.

C. The usual people say the usual things, so I have no other new ideas.
D. I could have imagined on that idea, but I wasn’t going to say.

You have probably read about robots replacing human labor as a new era of automation takes root in one industry after another. But a report suggests humans are not the only ones who might lose their jobs.
In New Zealand, farmers are using drones (无人机) to herd and monitor livestock, taking up a position that highly intelligent dogs have held for more than a century. The robots have not replaced the dogs entirely, Radio New Zealand reports, but they have appropriated (盗用) one of the animal’s most potent tools : barking.
The DJ-Innovations (DJI) Mavic Enterprise, a $3,500 drone favored by farmers, has a feature that lets the machine record sounds and play them over a loudspeaker, giving the machine the ability to act as the dogs. Corey Lambeth, a shepherd at a farm with sheep and cows, told RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective. “That’s the one thing I’ve noticed when you’re moving cows and calves—that the old cows stand up to the dogs, but with the drones, they’ve never done that,” he said, noting that it means the drones move livestock faster, with less stress, than the dogs do.
Farmers told RNZ the drones come in handy for more than just herding cows and sheep. The robots allow farmers to monitor their land from afar, tracking water and feed levels and checking on livestock health without disturbing the animals.
Jason Rentoul told RNZ last spring that a two-hour herding job that used to require two people and two teams of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes using a single drone. “Being a hilly farm where a lot of stuff is done on foot, the drones really saved a lot of man-hours,” he said. “The drone does the higher bits that you can’t see from the ground, and you would have to walk half an hour to go and have a look and then go, ‘Oh, there was no sheep there.’”
Farmers around the world are using drones. In South Africa, they monitor crop health from above, which boosts harvests, according to CN. In California, winemakers use drones equipped with sensors to grow healthier grapes, according to MIT Technology Review. Because drones fly closer to the ground, they are able to provide high-resolution images that are less expensive than hiring someone to fly an aircraft over a field, the publication reported.
In New Zealand, farmers say some dogs are learning to work alongside drones, identifying the machines as more co-worker than foe. “A good herding dog, he’s already figured out if the drones are working on that side. I’ll go over here (to the other side) and work over here,” Rentoul said. “For now,” farmers say, “there is still a need for herding dogs, primarily because they have a longer life span than drones, can work in bad weather and do not require an electrical socket every few hours to recharge”.
“There’s definitely going to be places for dogs always on farm” Lambeth said. “The one down side of the Mavic drones or anything electronic is that you still need to bring them in and charge them.”
61. According to the passage, the drones can’ t replace the dogs entirely because ________.
A. the drones can’t bark as loudly as the dogs do.
B. the drones’ power and working conditions are limited.
C. the drones are much more expensive than the animal.
D. cows and calves are not used to seeing the drones.
62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Herding dogs will gradually lose their position on the farmland.
B. The drones can only copy the dogs’ barking with the current technology.
C. The drones are multifunctional and leave the animals undisturbed.
D. The cost of using drones to monitor grapes is half the cost of hiring someone.
63. What are the main disadvantages of the drones?
A. Short service time and simple function.
B. Continuous maintenance and system upgrades.
C. Vulnerability to fierce animals and extreme weather.
D. Frequent absence and restricted battery capacity.
64. Why do farmers around the world like using drones?
A. Because drones have no motors.
B. Because using drones hardly meet the demand of management.
C. Because using drones can not only bring about too much convenience ,but also reduce the cost.
D. Because it is out of the question for using drones to provide high-resolution images.
65. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Robots are replacing human labor
B. Drones help keep livestock in line
C. Herding dogs will remain on farm
D. Farming is becoming surprisingly effective.

There’s a lot being said out there about the state of women in this country. The gender gap still exists when it comes to salary, confidence, happiness, and the number of women in the C-suite and science. Women aren’t as happy as they were in the 1970s, and their happiness relative to that of men has taken a nosedive (暴跌).
But it’s not all doom and gloom (无望). A recent study shows there’s one career path in which women’s happiness is greater than men’s: entrepreneurship. One out of every 10 women in the U.S. today is starting or running her own business. More than a third of those women want to expand their business beyond five employees. Women with established businesses ranked their happiness nearly three times as high as women who are not entrepreneurs.
Women are most likely to run or start a business between the ages of 35 and 44 — a period in which moms are more likely to be taking care of young kids at home. The flexibility of entrepreneurship may very well attract such women during this busy time in their lives. “Our research found that the benefits of entrepreneurship are beyond economic and social value,”professor Donna Kelley and the lead author of the report said. “Clearly, entrepreneurship provides women with a most satisfying career choice.”
The happiness doesn’t translate for women just getting started with their business, who report lower levels of happiness than women working for an employer, though still slightly higher levels than men in the same position as them. The reason for this may very well be the gender confidence gap. As women’s businesses mature and become more successful, their levels of happiness surge. “Confidence is a belief in one’s ability to succeed, a belief that stimulates action. In turn, taking action improves one’s belief in one’s ability to succeed.”they write.
And the links between confidence and happiness are plentiful. The happiness-success link exists not only because success makes people happy, but also because positive emotion creates success. For women, entrepreneurial success may be the key to a happy career. And as more women start and run their own businesses, the world may just be a happier place.
66. It can be known that women’s happiness levels ________.
A. are the same as those of five decades ago.
B. are much lower than those of five decades ago.
C. are much higher than those of five years ago.
D. are a little lower than those of five years ago.
67. Who are much happier according to the text?
A. Male bosses. B. Jobless females. C. Female bosses.D. Male employees.
68. What is Donna Kelley’s attitude to woman entrepreneurship?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Negative.
69. What does the underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Increase. B. Disappear. C. Decrease. D. Remain.
70. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. There are secrets to female entrepreneurial success.
B. The close happiness-success connection and its active effect on women.
C. More women will start to run their own business in the future.
D. There is a close connection between happiness and success.

When Poppy Johnson, a 23-year-old London-based college student, was only five, she accidentally saw Michael Jackson’s Thriller music video. Ever since then, she has been suffering from a fear of pop legend Michael Jackson.
Every time she sees or hears anything about Michael Jackson — a song, an interview or even a poster, she will experience a moment of fear. Her fear even grows stronger at home, as Poppy’s parents are big fans of Michael Jackson and have a collection of souvenirs around their house. But she never tells them this would add to her fear at home. Poppy explained, “I never really spoke about it or told it to other people, as I worried they’d think I was silly.”
Managing her fear of Michael Jackson hasn’t been easy for Poppy, who would often excuse herself whenever she was out with her friends and a Michael Jackson song started playing. She would then spend a few minutes somewhere else trying to take her mind off it.
Earlier this year, when the documentary Finding Neverland came out, news and photos of Michael Jackson were everywhere online. At that time, Poppy’s life was quite tough and she always felt that her heart was in her mouth.
Poppy recently started opening up about her unusual fear and even started taking steps to handle it. She started seeing a hypnotherapist (催眠师). After four weeks, she now says things are getting better. In addition, she told her parents that the things related to Michael Jackson at home made her feel fearful and finally her parents understood her and completely removed all the things about Michael Jackson.
Now Poppy’s situation is getting better and better. She reminds anyone else who experiences similar things that it is important to seek help as early as possible.
