Experimental Psychology,a little anxicty-not to mention fatigue-(21)actually be a very good thing.

the test began on each of the three Saturdays,the students filled out a questionnaire(27)
they were asked about their fatiguc level,mood and confidence.They completed the questionnaire
again at a break in the middle of the test and once more at the end.Together,these provided a sort of fever chart
of the students'energy and anxiety(28)the experence.
When the researchers scored the results,it came as no surprise that volunteers'fatigue and stress rosc

The commercialization of molecular()biology is the most shocking ethical event in the history of
science.For four hundred years since Galileo,science has always proceeded as a free and open31
into the workings of nature.Scientists have always ignored national boundaries,holding themselves above politics
and even wars.Scientists have always objected to secrecy in research,and have even 32 of the idea
of patenting()their discoveries,seeing themselves as working to the benefit of all mankind.
When James Watson and Francis Crick cracked the code of DNA in 1953,their work was celebrated as a(n)
33of the human spirit,of the centuries-old mission to understand the universe in a scientific way.It
was confidently expected that their discovery would be 34extended to the greater benefit of mankind.
Yet that did not happen.Thirty years later,nearly all of Watson and Crick's scientific colleagues were
engaged in another sort of cnterprise entirely.Research in molecular genetics had become a vast,
multi-billion-dollar commercial 35,whose origins can be traced not to 1953 but to April 1976.
That was the date of a now famous meeting,in which Robert Swanson,a venture capitalist,approached
3
Herbert Boyer,a biochcmist at the University of California.The two men agreed to36a commercial
company to exploit Boyer's gene-splicing()techniques.Their new company,Genentech,quickly
became the largest and most successful of the genetic engineering start-ups.
Suddenly everyone wanted to become rich.New companies were announced almost weckly,and scientists
37 to exploit genetic research.
It is ncccssary to cmphasize how signiticant this38 in attitude actually was.In the past,pure
scicntists saw the pursuit of money as39 uninteresting.And to do research for industry,even at the
famous Bell or IBM labs,was only for those who couldn't get a university appointment.Thus the attitude of pure
scientists was fundamentally critical toward the work of40 scientists,and to industry in general.
But that is no longer true.The old days are gone.
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.
Many of China's ancient architectural treasures crumbled to dust before Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began
documenting them in the 1930s.The husband and wife team were by far the best-known 41 to operate in
China.Their 42 have since inspired generations of people to speak out for architecture threatened by the
rush toward development.
Becoming China's first architectural historians was no easy 43.The buildings they wanted to 44
were centuries old,often in a shambles and located in distant parts of the country.In many cases,they had to
journey through45 conditions in the Chinese countryside to reach them.
46China's outlying areas during the 1930s meant traveling muddy,poorly maintained roads by mule or
on foot.This was a(n)47 undertaking both for Liang,who walked with a bad limp after a motorcycle
accident as a young man,and Lin,who had a lung disease for years.Inns were often unimaginably dirty,food
could be tainted,and there was always 48 of violence from rebels,soldiers and bandits.
Their greatest discovery came on an expedition in 1937 when they dated and extremely49 cataloged
Foguang Si,or the Temple of Buddha's Light,in Wutai County,Shanxi Province.The breathtaking wooden
temple was 50 in 857 A.D.,making it the oldest building known in China at the time.(It is now the
fourth-oldest known).
Liang and Lin crawled into the temple's most 51 areas to determine its age,including one aerie
inhabited by thousands of bats and millions of bedbugs,covered in dust and littered with dead bats.Liang wrote
of the 52 in an account included in"Liang and Lin:Partners in Exploring China's Architectural Past,"the
English-language story of their lives written by Wilma Fairbank,their close friend and correspondent.
"In complete darkness and amid the53 smell,hardly breathing,with thick masks covering our noses
and mouths,we measured,drew,and photographed with flashlights for several hours,"Liang wrote."When 54
we came out to take a breath of fresh air,we found hundreds of bedbugs in our backpack.We ourselves had been
badly bitten.Yet the 55 and unexpectedness of our finds made those the happiest hours of my years hunting
for ancient architecture."

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages.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
If you enjoy American stories,you'll have noticed that quite a few of them take place on the road.The
United States is a vast country whosc long highways connect very distant places.Many famous American novels
and films are about stories that occur while their characters are traveling along these highways.These novels are
often celebrations of American life.
Jesmyn Ward's National Book Award winner Sing,Unburied,Sing is a road novel,but not a celebration.The
road journey here is through Mississippi,as an African-American mother and her two children travel to collect her
white husband-the children's father-as he's released from jail.
Neither the mother,Leonie,nor the father,Michael,are ideal parents.Leonie in particular is so full of anger
and regret that she takes out her unhappiness on her children,the 13-year-old Jojo and his little sister Kayla.And
the pain of lacking proper financial support makes the journey even harder.
The telling of the story is divided between various narrators.Jojo,the boy,is the most sympathetic of them.
But it is worrying to read about how he experiences the world.Even though he's young,he's already experienced
the dark side of life.The opening sentence of the book gives a sense of Jojo's unnatural maturity:"I like to think I
know what death is.I like to think that I could look at it straight."This maturity (is tested when a white
policeman pulls a gun on him when Jojo puts his hand in his pocket.
But who,or what,is to blame for these sad circumstances?For Ward,it's clearly the past.She admires the
work of fellow novelist William Faulkner.When she thinks about the past,she's of the same mind as him
Faulkner famously wrote:"The past is never dead.It's not even past."At one point,Ward says that her
characters are"pulling the past with them,"like a too-heavy trailer coupled to the car,as they journey on through
Mississippi to the jailhouse.The biggest part of this past,of course,is racism-the remains of slavery-which is
always there,and ruining life.
This is probably why The Washington Post listed Sing,Unburied,Sing as one of its 10 choices of 2017's
Best Books."The plight of this one family is tied to crimes that stretch over decades,"wrote the newspaper.
"These are people pulling all the weight of history."

C.It's onc of 2017's best-sclling Amcrican novels.

A.is the main narrator of the novel
B.is the youngest child in thc family
C.fights with a white policeman on the road
D.show's an unusually mature mind for a child
58.What is the root cause of the family's difficulty according to the article?
A.The unhappy marriage of the parents.
B.The lack of educational opportunities.
C.The remaining slavery and racism.
D.The lack of financial support from the government.

A recent study by scientists at the University of Westminster in the United Kingdom has revealed an
incredibly interesting finding that is surc to excite both fitness lovers and horror film fans.Watching a thrilling
90-minute horror movie can potentially bum at least 113 calories,with the chance of burning up to a shocking 184
calories!This amazing calorie-burning achievement is similar to the benefits of walking energetically for over 30
minutes,making it a surprising discovery that challenges conventional ideas about exercise and weight reduction.
Looking more closely at how this unusual phenomenon works,the scientists explain that the intense
excitement and suspense of horror movies stimulate the part of the nervous system that responds to stress,causing
a significant increase in adrenaline()throughout the body.This adrenaline boost not only helps break
down fats but raises the body's basic metabolism(新陈代谢),speeding up calorie burning and aiding weight loss
in a way both unexpected and fascinating.
The study also found a connection between horror movies and the summer season.Horror movies often come
out during summer,and it's not just a coincidence.The heart-racing suspense and adrenaline rush of these movies
can make viewers forget about the heat outside,as their heart rates go up,they start to sweat,and their skin feels
cooler,creating a chilly feeling like being in a cooler place.This icy sensation not only adds to the immersive
experience of watching a horror movie but also helps burn more calories,making it a great situation for
those looking to lose weight while enjoying a thrilling movie.
While this study provides new insights into the potential weight loss benefits of horror movies,it's important
to recognize that the effects can be different for each person.Not everyone will have the same results,and some
may find that the calorie-burning benefits are small or non-existent.Therefore,it's still recommended to combine
watching horror movies with healthy eating and moderate exercise for the best weight loss results.A balanced
approach to fitness and well-being is always the key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
So,if you're looking for an easy and fun way to lose some weight,why not try watching horror movies?
With their thrilling suspense,adrenaline-pumping excitement,and potential calorie-burning benefits,they offer a
unique and exciting altemative to traditional exercise routines.But remember,your health should always be your
top priority.So,enjoy the thrill of a good horror movie,but don't forget to take care of your body and mind in the
process.
63.Which of the following is NOT an effect of the adrenaline surge caused by horror movies?
A.Faster fat breakdown
B.Decreased metabolic rate.
C.Enhanced calorie buring
D.Contribution to weight loss.
64.Horror movies often come out during the summer because.
A.they can make viewers forget about the heat
B.it is the best time for box offices returns
C.it inspires more creative and scary plots
D.they are particularly popular among teens
65.According to the passage,what should individuals bear in mind when considering the weight
loss benefits of horror movies?
A.Horror movies are a practically-guaranteed way to lose a significant amount of weight.
B.Everyone experiences the same calorie-buming benefits from watching horror movies.
C.Traditional exercise routines are ineffective compared to watching horror movies.
D.Watching horror movies should be combined with healthy lifestyles for optimal results
66.What is the main idea of the article?

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.Young graduates often find themselves competing with more-experienced workers.
B.More and more college graduates are forced to take jobs below their skill level.

Yet youth uncmployment also has common roots throughout the world.
Those young workers who do find employment are often trapped in awful contracts.
The factors that cause youth unemployment often differ among regions and labor systems.In much of
Western Europe overemphasized labor protection makes it more difficult for youth to land good jobs.Since firing
full-time workers is so complicated and expensive,cmployers are unwilling to take on new staff,while people
who are already employed,mainly older workers,often keep their jobs for life.In developing countries with high
birthrates and very young populations,like the Philippines,growth isn't strong enough to absorb the wave of
youngsters entering the workforce each year.67 Young people entering the workforce are often the most
vulnerable in economic downturns-new employees are often the first to get sacked,while college graduates find
few employers willing to hire.
68 In Spain,Italy and Japan,for instance.companies looking to gain flexibility in regulated labor
markets often offer new,young staffers only short-term contracts.These contracts,which sometimes last for only
a few days,usually come with low salaries and few benefits.Since such staff is temporary,employers have little
intention to invest in training.
Facing such obstacles,young people everywhere are finding that traditional route to success-education-
isn't paying off as much as in the past.9 They will often be offered low-skilled jobs from waiters to
supermarket clerks.A March report from the UK's Office for National Statistics showed that the share of recent
college graduates in Britain working in lower-skilled jobs rose to nearly 36%in 2011 from less than 27%a decade
earlier.70 Typical is Cairo's Ahmed Said.He graduated from college with a business degree,and after
performing the obligatory year of military service,he applied for jobs in accounting and data entry.But Said,24,
had no luck,and today he works as a waiter at a cafe near Tahrir Square."This was my last choicc,"he says,"and
this is the job that I got."

Filling up on Information
People now have access to more information than cver beforc thanks to the Intcrnct.While there arc clearly
benefits to it,there are also unintended conseaucnces.One in particular is information overload.commonly
referred to as"infobesity."As the name suggests,it involves consuming an unhealthy amount of information.
Infobesity comes in a number of differcnt forms and affects people in a variety of ways.Business pcople,for
examplc,may struggle to make decisions when faced with a huge amount of information.For younger people,
infobesity is often linked to their usc of social media.Young people may be bombed with messages from various
social mcdia apps.Furthermore,they may feel the urge to constantly check their phones so as not to miss out on
anything.Even online shoppers are affected.With so much information and so many choices available,even the
simplest purchase can cause a grcat deal of stress and anxiety.
Infobesity also has a negative effect on how-long-onr attention lasts.According to a study by Microsoft,the
average Canadian now spends less than 10 seconds digesting a piece of media before they move on to something
new.This data raises concems that our ability to pay attention.to.things-will continue to-declincas this information
overload increases.
So,what can be done to prevent the effects of this condition?While there is no casy answer,one obvious step
is to limit our sources of information.Try to only focus on things that really matter to you and on just one thing at
a time.Taking a break from your cellpnone can also help reduce your stress.And who knows?Since technology
got us into this mess in the first placc,perhaps it will also present solutions in the future.
