At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it,you will have seven seconds to decide which choice is the best answer to the question you have heard. Now you have 100 seconds to read all the choices on the screen. 1. W: Good evening, Professor David. I am Susan Gray, from the local newspaper. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions? M: Not at all. Go ahead, please. Q: Who is Susan Gray most likely to be? 2. M: George began his studies in Spain in 2018. Afterwards, he moved to Washington and then to Singapore. W: It is said that he will be sent to work in Shanghai as a representative of his firm soon. Q: Where was George in 2018? 3. M: Wait a minute. Look at this display in the window. W: Oh, there are some books on sale today. Let's go inside and see if we can find something on art. Q: Where are the speakers most probably going? 4. M: You will never guess I got a high mark in Biology. W: Congratulations. Your late-night work finally paid off. Q: What does the woman mean? 5. M: I hear there's a good Japanese restaurant nearby. Shall we go there for lunch? W: Yes. But before we go, I'd like to make it clear it's my treat this time. Q: What does the woman mean? 6. W: Excuse me. I was the one who queued up here first. M: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that you were waiting. Q: What will the man probably do next? 7. W: Does Monica speak English well now, Mark? M: Well, she picks up new expressions quickly but she forgets them in no time. Q: What do we learn about Monica? 8. W: What do you think of the speech last Friday? I could hardly hear a word of it. M: Neither could I. And I sat in the front row. Q: What does the man imply? 9. M: I am starving, Mum. May I try some of these nice strawberries? W: Not now, I'm afraid we've got just enough for lunch. Q: What does the woman mean? 10. M: You know, when I sit at the back of the classroom, I can't see the board clearly. W: Well, you've been wearing the same glasses since I got to know you. It might be the time for a new pair. Q: What does the woman imply? Section B Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation,and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, you will have seven seconds to decide which choice would be the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Now you have 30 seconds to read all the choices on the screen. Every four years, the calendar looks different. An extra day is added to keep our human-made calendar in pace with the astronomical year. The primary reason for this is that our calendar is 365 days in length. But Earth's orbit around the sun takes about 365.2422 days. To prevent our calendar from failing to mirror the astronomical year, February 29 appears on the calendar every four years. And the year with February 29 is called a leap year. Julius Caesar, the famous Roman general and emperor, was behind the move back in 45 B. C. Interestingly enough, an astronomical year is actually slightly less than 365.25 days.So adding an extra day every four years results in about three extra days every 400 years.For this reason, only one out of every four century years is appointed as a leap year.Century years are only considered leap years if they can be divided evenly by 400.Therefore, 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years. And 2400 will be the next century year that is a leap year. Keeping the calendar correct is no easy matter! (Now listen again.) Questions 11. What is the passage mainly about? 12. Why is an extra day added to the calendar every four years? 13. Which of the following statements about a leap year is true? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Now you have 30 seconds to read all the choices on the screen. An environmental charity report says that nearly one million plastic drink bottles are sold every minute worldwide. It's clear that plastics can be bad for nature, so many companies and supermarkets are switching to other types of packaging. However, switching from plastics to avoid harm to the environment is more complicated than you might think. And it can have unexpected side effects. Problems with plastic alternatives include the amount of material they use and the cost, in terms of energy and raw materials, to make and distribute them. For example, glass bottles can be cleaned and reused or recycled. However, they are heavier than plastic ones, so transporting them uses more fuel and causes more pollution. According to previous research, paper bags use four times as much energy to make as plastic bags. Paper also requires trees to be cut down, and making paper uses a lot of water. Meanwhile, environmentally friendly plastic bags made with potatoes are supposed to break down naturally, but some researchers say they can only do this in special facilities. It seems that most forms of packaging have an issue, so perhaps the best thing we can do is ask manufacturers to use as little as possible in the first place. (Now listen again.) Questions 14. What is the passage mainly about? 15. What does the shift from plastic packaging to other materials lead to? 16. Which of the following statements about paper bags is true? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. Now you have 40 seconds to read all the choices on the screen. M: Can I help you? W: Well, I hope so. Some suggested I could rent some bikes from you. M: Ah, yes. It's very popular. W: Yes, well, we're just on holiday here for a few days and it would be a good way of getting to see this island. M: Well, it certainly is. I mean you can go that much further on a bike or a motorbike. W: Oh, so you've got two kinds of bikes. M: Yes, but most people take the motorbike because you can get around faster. W: How old do you have to be to drive one of these things? M: You must be over 16. But that's only for the driver. W: You mean you can take passengers. M: Certainly. W: If I wanted to rent them tomorrow, can I just come along and get them tomorrow morning? M: No problem at all. As you can see, we've got hundreds here. W: Yes. And can I just rent them for the morning? M: Ah, sorry, that's not possible. We only do it for the whole day. W: OK, I'll probably see you tomorrow morning then. M: Sure.. (Now listen again.) Questions. 17. What are the speakers mainly talking about? 18. What is the woman's main purpose of renting bikes? 19. What is the minimum rental period for the bikes? 20. What is the starting age for driving a motorbike? II. Grammar and Vocabulary (20’) Section A（10’） Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Finnish architect observes city’s shifting rhythms Almost every day, Finnish architect Jarmo Suominen rides his bike through Shanghai — not toward a destination, but into the city’s rhythm. He carries no map. Beneath clotheslines and tangled wires, he stops to observe and sketch. For Suominen, a professor at Tongji University, curiosity fuels both his work and life. His students call him Sou Sou, meaning “search” — a nickname 21 reflects his constant exploration. His bike rides are a form of engagement — a way to witness 22 people and places interact. “In Shanghai, you never know what you’ll find,” he told Shanghai Daily. “You turn down an alley (小巷子) and suddenly you’re in a hidden garden behind a dead-end. People create these little worlds. It’s amazing.” He values Shanghai’s “sensitive renewal,” a process 23 (drive) as much by residents as by government departments. “The street is 24 life happens,” he said. “The government might renovate facades (外立面), but inside, people make small, gradual upgrades. It’s not about replacing everything, but about letting people shape their future.” One of his favorite examples is a car repair shop near his home. “Every night, it transforms into a nightclub 25 talks, performances and movie screenings. It wasn’t designed to be one — it just became one.” For Suominen, the street is a canvas, always evolving with the people inhabiting it. A man playing saxophone in an alley or a chess game under sycamores (梧桐树) 26 (become), through his eyes, a sign of constant transformation. “The soul of a place,” he said, “isn’t in the architecture. It’s in the life around 27 : the feeling that you’re welcome, 28 you’re a stranger.” Suominen has filled more than 20 sketchbooks with these scenes, each 29 (reveal) the dynamic interplay between people and space. “In older neighborhoods, you see lives spilling into the streets — something unique to China, especially Shanghai,” he added. “In Finland, where the cold keeps people inside, you 30 hardly observe people’s values and habits in the same way.” 【答案】21．that/which 22．how 23．driven 24．where 25．with 26．has become/becomes 27．it 28．even if/even though 29．revealing 30．can 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了芬兰建筑师在上海的观察与感悟。 21．考查定语从句。句意：他的学生称他为“搜搜”，意思是“寻找”——这个昵称反映了他不断的探索。本空引导限制性定语从句，先行词是a nickname，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which/that引导。故填which/that。 22．考查宾语从句。句意：他的自行车骑行是一种参与的方式——一种见证人与地方如何互动的方式。本空引导宾语从句，表示“如何”，用连接副词how引导。故填how。 23．考查非谓语动词。句意：他重视上海的“敏感更新”，这是一个由居民和政府部门共同推动的过程。本句已有谓语values，本空用非谓语形式，名词process和动词drive“推动”是逻辑动宾关系，用过去分词表被动，作后置定语。故填driven。 24．考查表语从句。句意：“街道是生活发生的地方，”他说。本空引导表语从句，从句中缺少地点状语，表示 “……之处”，用连接副词where引导。故填where。 25．考查介词。句意：每天晚上，它都会变成一个夜总会，有谈话、表演和电影放映。此处表示“有”，用介词with。故填with。 26．考查时态。句意：在小巷里吹萨克斯的人或梧桐树下的棋局，在他眼里，都是不断变化的标志。本句描述一般事实，时态用一般现在时，主语A man playing saxophone in an alley or a chess game under sycamores是第三人称单数，谓语用第三人称单数形式becomes。或者：从句描述过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果，时态应用现在完成时，谓语用has become，故填has become或becomes。 27．考查代词。句意：“一个地方的灵魂，”他说，“不在于建筑，而在于周围的生活：那种即使你是陌生人也会感到受欢迎的感觉。”此处指代上文提到的a place，用代词it。故填it。 28．考查让步状语从句。句意同上。本空引导让步状语从句，表示“即使”，用even if或even though。故填even if/even though。 29．考查非谓语动词。句意：Suominen已经用这些场景填满了20多本素描本，每一本都揭示了人与空间之间的动态互动。本句已有谓语has filled，本空用非谓语形式，each指代上文提到的sketchbooks，和动词reveal“揭示”是逻辑主谓关系，用现在分词。故填revealing。 30．考查情态动词。句意：在芬兰，寒冷让人们待在室内，你几乎不可能以同样的方式观察到人们的价值观和习惯。根据“where the cold keeps people inside”可知，此处表示几乎不“可能”，用情态动词can。故填can。 Section B（10’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A（15’） 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. Taylor works full-time in the cleaning department while co-parenting his 10-year-old son. Ada, a cancer survivor, was enduring the miserable treatment. Mohammad was kicked out of prep school, then 41 for 100 days from high school for selling chocolate to his classmates. Emanuel was 42 a three-year sentence for armed robbery. These are not the profiles of students who get admitted to a classic university-run honors college. 43 , they are enrolled at the Honors Living-Learning Community of Rutgers University-Newark, an institution where they and others with similarly 44 life stories are pushing the boundaries of what defines an honors college by emphasizing courage in overcoming life’s difficulties, rather than 45 . Across the United States, the continuous drive for reputation has generated the 46 in the number of honors colleges. Nearly 900 schools, almost all being public universities and community colleges belong to the National Collegiate Honors Council. Among them, it is usually a brilliant idea for an institution to 47 applicants whose top-of-the-class high-school records and SAT scores would assure a renowned private university. The bait (诱饵) is the honors college, which promises the intimate feel of a small college within a(n) 48 state school. The students in these honors colleges, mostly white and middle-class, receive concierge treatment (礼宾待遇) with considerable scholarships, separate housing, special seminars, faculty mentors, research opportunities and first crack at courses in high demand. However, things are 49 at the Honors Living-Learning Community, which mainly enrolls black and Latino students–nearly twice as many as the total of black and Latino undergraduates in the rest of Rutgers-Newark’s programs. Their high-school grades and SAT scores are lower than the campus average. While academic skill 50 in determining who gets selected, the emphasis is on these students’ perseverance, their drive to learn and their passion for social justice. Every 51 of the honors program comes straight from the book on how to engage undergraduates 52 , and minority students in particular. The students receive scholarships that cover their living expenses well as tuition. Without this 53 , most couldn’t enroll full-time, and evidence shows that part-time students are far less likely to graduate. A 54 number of community college graduates are admitted, which gives 18-year-olds, fresh out of high school, an opportunity to learn from peers with more life 55 . 41．A．graduated B．abandoned C．prohibited D．suspended 42．A．reading B．serving C．passing D．escaping 43．A．Therefore B．Moreover C．Instead D．Similarly 44．A．faulty B．smooth C．meaningful D．interesting 45．A．social experience B．family backgrounds C．academic performance D．human relationships 46．A．pursuit B．explosion C．exploit D．progress 47．A．tempt B．enroll C．introduce D．cultivate 48．A．remote B．public C．packed D．outstanding 49．A．difficult B．different C．discouraging D．disturbing 50．A．differs B．ranges C．matters D．varies 51．A．student B．major C．component D．college 52．A．especially B．intensively C．generally D．particularly 53．A．passion B．aim C．aid D．initiative 54．A．stable B．certain C．random D．growing 55．A．expectancy B．tragedy C．experience D．passion 【答案】41．D 42．B 43．C 44．A 45．C 46．B 47．A 48．D 49．B 50．C 51．C 52．B 53．C 54．D 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了罗格斯大学荣誉学院的创新招生模式。 41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：Mohammad被预备学校开除，然后因为向同学卖巧克力而被高中停课100天。A. graduated毕业；B. abandoned抛弃；C. prohibited禁止；D. suspended暂停，中止（课程、活动等）。根据下文“for 100 days from high school for selling chocolate to his classmates”可知，Mohammad因犯错被学校“停学”。故选D。 42．考查动词词义辨析。句意：Emanuel因持械抢劫被判三年徒刑。A. reading阅读；B. serving服刑；C. passing通过；D. escaping逃跑。根据下文“a three-year sentence for armed robbery”可知，Emanuel因持械抢劫被判三年徒刑，因此他正在“服刑”。故选B。 43．考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，他们被罗格斯大学纽瓦克分校的荣誉生活学习社区录取，在那里，他们和其他有着类似坎坷人生故事的人正在通过强调克服生活困难的勇气，而不是学术表现，来突破荣誉学院的界限。A. Therefore因此；B. Moreover此外；C. Instead相反；D.

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) Based on their geography, volcanoes have different appearances. We classify them as stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, and cinder cones. Let’s dive into the differences between these types of volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes are tall and cone-shaped (锥形的). Instead of flat shield volcanoes like in Hawaii, they have bigger peaks. They build up by layering lava(熔岩), ash, and etc. Examples of stratovolcanoes include: ·MOUNT FUJI: Mount Fuji is a dormant (inactive) stratovolcano that last erupted in the early 1700s. MOUNT TOBA: Mount Toba in Sumatra is 100 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide is a caldera(喷火山口). When ash falls or lava flows, it solidifies and makes a narrower cone. If you travel along the Pacific Ring of Fire, these are mostly this type of volcano. The Pacific Ocean seafloor brings water causing eruptions from stratovolcanoes. Stratovolcanoes run through cycles with lots of small eruptions. Shield volcanoes earned their name because they’re shaped like a shield. Hawaiian volcanoes are typical shield volcanoes. If you go to Hawaii, they are broad and flat. These volcanoes can be hundreds of kilometers wide. Examples of shield volcanoes include: MAUNA LOA: Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the world’s largest active shield volcano. From its base below sea level to its summit, it’s also the tallest mountain in the world. ·FERNANDINA ISLAND: Fernandina Island is an active shield volcano in the Galapagos Islands. Shield volcanoes tend to erupt liquid lava. Violent explosions are possible. But they’re not as common for shield volcanoes. Because the lava has a low viscosity (more watery), it can flow on the surface better. When these types of volcanoes erupt, lava flows out large distances. Cinder cones are small in comparison to the other types of volcanoes. In fact, they’re only tens of hundreds of meters in size. But at the same time, they’re very steep typically with a bowl-shaped crater at the summit. Examples of cinder cones include: ·CERRO NEGRO: Cerro Negro is an active cinder cone in Nicaragua. It’s the youngest in Central America. ·PARICUTIN: The Paricutin volcano in Mexico is a cinder cone that suddenly erupted in a cornfield. Cinder cones form out of tephra, magma, and ash that it throws out. When cinder cones shoot out lava, it splits it up in the air and scatters. Eventually, it cools down and becomes part of its steep cone-like feature. 56．Which of the following statements is True based on the passage? A．MOUNT TOBA is an inactive volcano that erupted in the early 1700s. B．Shield volcanoes can be hundreds of kilometers wide and their lava flows out extensively. C．Though small in size, Cinder cones are the most active in frequency and the steepest. D．MAUNA LOA is the world’s highest mountain from the horizon to the mountaintop. 57．Which of the following best summarizes the introduction of each volcano? A．illustration-appearance-examples-features B．appearance-examples-formation-location C．illustration-features-examples-exceptions D．illustration–location–appearance–features 58．What is the purpose of writing this passage? A．To entertain those interested in geography with descriptions of volcanoes. B．To express general concern about eruptions of different types of volcanoes. C．To inform readers of the unique characteristics of different types of volcanoes. D．To educate students some basic information about disruptive effects of volcanoes. 【答案】56．B 57．A 58．C 【导语】本文主要介绍层状火山、盾状火山和火山渣锥的外观、实例及特征等内容。 56．细节理解题。根据Shield volcanoes中的第一段中的“These volcanoes can be hundreds of kilometers wide.(这些火山可能宽达数百公里)”以及最后一段中的“When these types of volcanoes erupt, lava flows out large distances. (当这类火山喷发时，熔岩会流出很远的距离。)”可知，盾状火山可能宽达数百公里，且其熔岩广泛流出。故选B项。 57．推理判断题。通读全文，以Stratovolcanoes为例可知，根据Stratovolcanoes部分中的“Stratovolcanoes are tall and cone-shaped (锥形的). Instead of flat shield volcanoes like in Hawaii, they have bigger peaks. They build up by layering lava(熔岩), ash, and etc.(层状火山呈高耸的锥形。不同于夏威夷的平坦盾状火山，它们拥有更庞大的山峰。这类火山通过熔岩、火山灰等物质的层层堆积形成。)”可知，此处介绍了层状火山的说明以及外观，结合下文中的“Examples of stratovolcanoes include(层状火山例子包括)”可知，下文举例说明层状火山；根据尾段中的“When ash falls or lava flows, it solidifies and makes a narrower cone. If you travel along the Pacific Ring of Fire, these are mostly this type of volcano. The Pacific Ocean seafloor brings water causing eruptions from stratovolcanoes. Stratovolcanoes run through cycles with lots of small eruptions.(当火山灰落下或熔岩流淌时，它们会凝固，形成更狭窄的火山锥。如果你沿着环太平洋火山带旅行，会发现那里的火山大多属于这种类型。太平洋海底（板块）携带的水分会引发层状火山的喷发。层状火山的活动周期中会经历多次小规模喷发。)”可知，此处介绍了层状火山的特征，阅读另外两种火山的内容可知，文章均是先对各类火山进行了说明（illustration），接着介绍其外观（appearance），然后列举实例（examples），最后说明特征（features）。故选A项。 58．推理判断题。根据第一段“Based on their geography, volcanoes have different appearances. We classify them as stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, and cinder cones. Let’s dive into the differences between these types of volcanoes.(根据地理位置，火山有不同的外观。我们将它们分为层状火山、盾状火山和火山渣锥。让我们深入了解这些类型火山之间的区别。)”可推知，写这篇文章的目的是告知读者不同类型火山的独特特征。故选C项。 (B) If Timothy White were Captain America, perhaps simply one fling (挥动) of the superhero’s trademark shield could have saved the day. But this was real life. And though White has dressed up as Captain America for conventions, parades and the local Anti-Bullying Superhero Day, when he spotted trouble on this September afternoon he wasn’t wearing his costume and couldn’t rely on any superpowers. White, 38, was driving home when he noticed a gray Nissan four-door pickup (皮卡货车). It was hard to miss,since it made a turn and headed for the curb (马路牙子) before course-correcting, only to head for the curb again. As the pickup drew closer, White got a good look at the problem: The driver appeared to be asleep. Pretty soon, this guy’s going to crash into a house and kill himself or somebody else, White thought. While many people would have kept on driving, that’s not how White operates. He had to stop that vehicle. White pulled his car over and jumped out. The truck was going 10 to 15 mph, White estimates. He darted into the road, running around to the driver’s side. The window was down on this temperate autumn day. White grabbed the frame of the window — his legs moving in step with the pickup — and leaped in. The man behind the wheel, 64-year-old Todd DeAngelis, was just conscious enough to be startled by the peculiar sight of a stranger lying across his stomach, and he let out a yelp. White worked quickly. He took hold of the gear shift and forced the pickup into park, bringing it to a sudden stop. He jumped out of the truck window the same way he came in. From outside the truck, White asked DeAngelis if he was OK. “No,” he replied, in a haze. DeAngelis, a diabetic, was unexpectedly facing dangerously low blood sugar. An ambulance soon arrived and took DeAngelis to a hospital, where it was determined that had his blood sugar gone much lower, he could have gone into a diabetic coma. “He kept me from a much worse accident than it could have been,” DeAngelis said after his recovery. White’s actions that day were not out of character. As a teenager, he once kicked in the door of a house that was on fire to see if anyone was trapped inside. Fortunately, the house was empty. “I’m always trying to help, where I can, when I can,” he says. But jumping into a moving vehicle to prevent a crash? White admits this was new territory. “It took me a couple of days,” he says, “and a couple of beers, to chill out.” 59．Why does the author mention Captain America at the opening paragraph? A．To emphasize the impact of comic book conventions on people’s daily life. B．To explain why White was unable to save people with superpowers that day. C．To emphasize that real heroism comes from character not superpowers, by contrast. D．To suggest that White wished he had superpowers by dressing up like Captain America. 60．Which of the following statement is TRUE? A．Timothy White managed to save the driver by breaking the window, using his strength to push the truck off the road and pulling the driver out. B．Timothy White noticed the truck’s abnormal movements because the driver was asleep at the wheel, which prompted his immediate intervention. C．Wimothy White jumped into the moving truck through the open window and shifted it into park, saving the driver who was suffering from low blood sugar. D．After forcing the truck to stop, White immediately administered first at d to the driver outside the truck before the ambulance arrived. 61．What does the underlined phrase “in a haze” most likely mean? A．In anger. B．In a hurry. C．In concentration. D．In dizziness. 62．What can be inferred about Timothy What e from the passage? A．He often dreams and pretends to be a superhero to gain attention. B．He had a natural tendency to help others in dangerous situations. C．It wasn’t the first time he had jumped through a car window to save people. D．He relied on alcohol to cope with stress, tension and fear regularly. 【答案】59．C 60．C 61．D 62．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Timothy White在现实生活中英勇救人的故事，突出了他乐于助人的品质。 59．推理判断题。根据文章第1段“But this was real life. And though White has dressed up as Captain America for conventions, parades and the local Anti-Bullying Superhero Day, when he spotted trouble on this September afternoon he wasn’t wearing his costume and couldn’t rely on any superpowers.(但这却是真实的生活。尽管怀特曾在各种活动、游行以及当地的“反欺凌超级英雄日”上身着美国队长的服装，但在这个九月的下午，当他发现有麻烦时，他并未穿着那套服装，也无法依靠任何超能力。)”可知，作者通过讲述他并未穿着制服，也无法依靠超能力，对比虚构的超能力和现实中的英勇行为，来强调真正的英雄主义源于品格而非超能力。故选C。 60．细节理解题。根据文章第4段的“White grabbed the frame of the window — his legs moving in step with the pickup — and leaped in.(怀特伸手抓住窗户的框架——他的双腿与皮卡车的行驶节奏保持同步——然后纵身跳了进去。)”和第七段的“DeAngelis, a diabetic, was unexpectedly facing dangerously low blood sugar.( 迪安吉利斯患有糖尿病，当时正意外面临低血糖危险)”可知，威米托·怀特从开着的车窗跳进了行驶中的卡车里，然后将卡车停到了指定位置，从而救下了那位因低血糖而身体不适的司机。故选C。 61．词句猜测题。根据上文“From outside the truck, White asked DeAngelis if he was OK. “No,” he replied (从卡车外面，怀特问德安吉利斯是否还好。“不好，”他回答道。)”和下文“DeAngelis, a diabetic, was unexpectedly facing dangerously low blood sugar.( 迪安吉利斯患有糖尿病，当时正意外面临低血糖危险)”可推知，该短语描述其因低血糖而意识模糊的状态。故选D。 62．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第2段“White’s actions that day were not out of character. As a teenager, he once kicked in the door of a house that was on fire to see if anyone was trapped inside.(那天怀特先生的行为并不出乎人们的意料。在青少年时期，他曾踹开了一间着火房屋的门，想看看里面是否有人被困。)”及最后一段““I’m always trying to help, where I can, when I can,” he says.(他说：“只要有可能，只要我能做到，我就会尽力帮忙。”)”可知，怀特先生时刻准备好帮助他人，天生乐于帮助处于危险中的人。故选B项。 (C) Do you like the thick brush strokes and soft color palettes of an impressionist painting such as those by Claude Monet? Or do you prefer the bold colors and abstract shapes of a Rothko? Individual art tastes have a certain mystique to them, but now a new Caltech study shows that a simple computer program can accurately predict which paintings a person will like. The new study asked more than 1,500 volunteers to rate paintings in the genres of impressionism, cubism, abstract, and color field. The volunteers’ answers were fed into a computer program, which then could predict the volunteers’ art preferences. The findings not only demonstrated that computers could make these predictions but also led to a new understanding about how people judge art. “The main point is that we are gaining an insight into the mechanism that people use to make aesthetic judgments,” says O’Doherty, a neuroscientist in the team. In the study, the team programmed the computer to break a painting's visual attributes down into what they called low-level features—traits like contrast, saturation (饱和度), and color—as well as high-level features, which require human judgment and include traits such as whether the painting is dynamic or still. The computer program then estimates how much a specific feature is taken into account when making a decision about how much to like a particular piece of art. Both features are combined when making these decisions. Once the computer has estimated that, then it can successfully predict a person’s liking for another previously unseen piece of art. The researchers also discovered that the volunteers tended to cluster into three general categories: those who like paintings with real-life objects, such as an impressionist painting; those who like colorful abstract paintings; and those who like complex paintings, such as Picasso’s cubist portraits. The majority of people fell into the first “real-life object” category. While the computer program was successful at predicting the volunteers’ art preferences, the researchers say there is still more to learn about the nuances that go into any one individual’s taste. “There are aspects of individual preferences that we have not succeeded in explaining using this method,” says O’Doherty. “This more idiosyncratic component may relate to past experiences and other personal traits that might influence valuation.” 63．What was the main purpose of the Caltech study mentioned in the passage? A．To examine why people have different tastes in paintings. B．To compare different painting styles like impressionism and cubism. C．To prove that computers can create better art than humans. D．To determine the accuracy of computers’ prediction of art preferences. 64．Which of the following statements is TRUE about “high-level features” in the study? A．They were ignored by the computer program in the study. B．They involve subjective judgment. C．They are less accurate than low-level features in predicting preferences. D．They are easily quantifiable by machines. 65．The word “idiosyncratic” in the last paragraph most closely means A．vital B．predictable C．individual D．complex 66．Based on the passage, what is the likely next step for this research? A．Teaching computers to paint original artwork. B．Incorporating additional personal data into the prediction model. C．Eliminating the use of low-level features in predictions. D．Focusing mainly on impressionist paintings. 【答案】63．D 64．B 65．C 66．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了计算机程序能预测人们艺术偏好的研究。 【详解】63．细节理解题。 根据第一段“but now a new Caltech study shows that a simple computer program can accurately predict which paintings a person will like.(但现在加州理工学院的一项新研究表明，一个简单的计算机程序可以准确预测一个人会喜欢哪些画作) 以及根据第二段中“The new study asked more than 1,500 volunteers to rate paintings in the genres of impressionism, cubism, abstract, and color field. The volunteers’ answers were fed into a computer program, which then could predict the volunteers’ art preferences.(这项新研究让1500多名志愿者对印象派、立体派、抽象派和色域派等不同流派的画作进行评分。志愿者的答案被输入到一个计算机程序中，该程序可以预测志愿者的艺术偏好) ”以及第三段中“The findings not only demonstrated that computers could make these predictions but also led to a new understanding about how people judge art.(研究结果不仅证明了计算机可以进行这些预测，还让我们对人们如何评判艺术有了新的认识)”可知，Caltech研究的主要目的是确定计算机预测艺术偏好的准确性。故选D。 64．推理判断题。 根据第四段“In the study, the team programmed the computer to break a painting's visual attributes down into what they called low-level features — traits like contrast, saturation (饱和度), and color — as well as high-level features, which require human judgment and include traits such as whether the painting is dynamic or still.(在研究中，研究团队让计算机将画作的视觉属性分解为他们所说的低级特征——如对比度、饱和度和颜色等特性——以及需要人类判断的高级特征，包括画作是动态的还是静态的等特性)”可推知，研究中的“高级特征”涉及主观判断。故选B。 65．词句猜测题。 根据最后一段中“There are aspects of individual preferences that we have not succeeded in explaining using this method,” says O’Doherty. “This more idiosyncratic component may relate to past experiences and other personal traits that might influence valuation.(O’Doherty说：“我们无法用这种方法解释个人偏好的某些方面。这种更idiosyncratic的成分可能与过去的经历和其他可能影响评估的个人特质有关。”)”可知，无法用这种方法解释个人偏好的某些方面，所以此处指这种更个人的成分可能与过去的经历和其他可能影响评估的个人特质有关，“idiosyncratic”在此处意为“个人的，独特的”。故选C。 66．推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“While the computer program was successful at predicting the volunteers’ art preferences, the researchers say there is still more to learn about the nuances that go into any one individual’s taste. “There are aspects of individual preferences that we have not succeeded in explaining using this method,” says O’Doherty. “This more idiosyncratic component may relate to past experiences and other personal traits that might influence valuation.”(虽然计算机程序在预测志愿者的艺术偏好方面取得了成功，但研究人员表示，对于每个人品味的细微差别，我们还有很多需要了解的地方。O’Doherty说：“我们无法用这种方法解释个人偏好的某些方面。这种更独特的成分可能与过去的经历和其他可能影响评估的个人特质有关。”)”可推知，这项研究的下一步很可能是将额外的个人数据纳入预测模型。故选B。 Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A writer for all time 67 At that point, seven years after the playwright’s death, Shakespeare was just one of many respected writers of his era, but in the years that followed the words of that preface proved to be true. His reputation grew and grew and today Shakespeare is widely recognized as the greatest writer in the history of English literature. His plays live on, translated into at least 80 languages and performed all over the globe. Why is it that, 400 years after his death, his work is still rated so highly? Many writers before Shakespeare could write great comedy, or tragedy, or history, but Shakespeare could tell great stories in all these genres and more: from fantastic fairy tale (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) to political play (Richard Ⅲ). 68 In fact, he usually took them from traditional stories, history or other writers. In his hands, however, they became powerful tales that went beyond time and culture. Romeo and Juliet is a story of love, hate and teenage rebellion against strict parents. Macbeth shows the dangers of ruthless ambition. Othello deals with insecurity, trust and jealousy. 69 As well as productions using the original language and settings, there have been imaginative reinterpretations as musicals (Romeo and Juliet / West Side Story), sci-fi films(The Tempest/ Forbidden Planet), high school romantic comedies(welfth Night/ She’s the Man), Bollywood films (Macbeth/ Maqbool), and even children’s cartoons (Hamlet/ The Lion King). While some parts of Shakespeare’s plays are in prose, his greatest speeches are in verse and their language, though old-fashioned, still arouses modern audiences’ feelings. His jokes ensure that the theatre is often filled with laughter, but moments later there might be a most beautiful passage about love or chilling words about death, revenge or jealousy. 70 It is thought that he started writing these in 1592 when the disease stopped Londoners from being able to go to the theatre. They include some of the most famous lines about love and beauty in the English. A．He rarely came up with original plots for his plays. B．“He was not of an age, but for all time!” stated the preface of William Shakespeare’s collected plays when they were first published in 1623. C．It’s no surprise that theatre and film directors return again and again to his plays for their material. D．Even individual words were a chance for Shakespeare to show off his creativity. E．They include everyday words, such as generous, apostrophe, hurry, road and amazement. F．As well as at least 37 plays, he is known 30 for 154 short poems called sonnets. 【答案】67．B 68．A 69．C 70．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了莎士比亚为何在去世 400 年后其作品仍被高度评价。 67．根据下文“At that point, seven years after the playwright's death, Shakespeare was just one of many respected writers of his era, but in the years that followed the words of that preface proved to be true. His reputation grew and grew and today Shakespeare is widely recognized as the greatest writer in the history of English literature.(在那时，这位剧作家去世七年后，莎士比亚只是他那个时代众多受尊敬的作家之一，但在随后的岁月里，那篇序言中的话被证明是正确的。他的声誉与日俱增，如今莎士比亚被广泛认为是英国文学史上最伟大的作家)” 可知，此处应提到“序言”，引出后文关于莎士比亚声誉发展的内容。故B选项“1623 年，威廉・莎士比亚的戏剧集首次出版时，其序言中写道：“他不属于一个时代，而属于所有时代！” 符合语境，故选B。 68．根据上文“Many writers before Shakespeare could write great comedy, or tragedy, or history, but Shakespeare could tell great stories in all these genres and more: from fantastic fairy tale (A Midsummer Night's Dream) to political play（Richard Ⅲ）(在莎士比亚之前，许多作家能写出伟大的喜剧、悲剧或历史剧，但莎士比亚能在所有这些体裁及更多体裁中讲述精彩故事：从奇幻童话《仲夏夜之梦》到政治剧《理查三世》)” 及下文 “In fact, he usually took them from traditional stories, history or other writers.(事实上，他通常从传统故事、历史或其他作家那里获取这些故事)” 可知，承上启下，说明莎士比亚戏剧情节的来源，引出后文他如何将非原创情节变为精彩故事。故A选项“他很少为他的戏剧想出原创情节” 符合语境，故选A。 69．根据下文 “As well as productions using the original language and settings, there have been imaginative reinterpretations as musicals (Romeo and Juliet / West Side Story), sci-fi films(The Tempest/ Forbidden Planet), high school romantic comedies ( welfth Night/ She’s the Man), Bollywood films (Macbeth/ Maqbool), and even children’s cartoons (Hamlet/ The Lion King).(除了使用原始语言和背景的作品外，还有富有想象力的重新演绎，如音乐剧《西区故事》改编自《罗密欧与朱丽叶》、科幻电影《禁忌星球》改编自《暴风雨》、高中浪漫喜剧《足球尤物》改编自《第十二夜》、宝莱坞电影《麦克白》改编自《马克布尔》，甚至还有儿童卡通片《狮子王》改编自《哈姆雷特》)” 可知，莎士比亚的戏剧常被导演选用并改编。故C选项“难怪戏剧和电影导演一次又一次地从他的戏剧中获取素材” 符合语境，故选C。 70．根据下文“It is thought that he started writing these in 1592 when the disease stopped Londoners from being able to go to the theatre.

Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Giving Money to Families with Kids Can Relieve Child Poverty Nearly 1 in 5 American children is officially poor. That’s roughly 15 million kids. But the number living with a significant deprivation——insufficient food, seriously overcrowded housing or a lack of access to medical care due to cost-is actually much higher. According to the latest studies, it’s more like 1 in 3. A mountain of evidence now shows that poverty can lead to cognitive (认知的) and emotional damage in children. Child poverty is too harmful and punishing to ignore. A growing number of academics believe there is a solution: the government should give monthly cash allowances, without conditions, to every family with kids. When Michael Harrington’s classic book, The Other America, called attention to America’s general poverty rate of about 25% in 1962, Washington developed social programs that brought the rate down sharply. Valuable policies intended to relieve child poverty have been enacted since then, but they are not enough: 1 in 3 children does not receive the full benefits of these programs because their parents do not qualify for them. A family with two children receiving $300 to $400 a month per child could improve their standard of living immediately. Money can buy food, heat, coats, eye-glasses and regular doctors’ visits, including transportation, and help pay for childcare. It can also help reduce family stress and help parents provide a psychologically nourishing environment for learning and social development. Studies demonstrate children’s improved educational performance when families are simply given more money. For far less money-about $100 billion-the number of children living in official poverty could be cut in half. Such a policy would be a humane, practical, efficient victory for a nation too willing to neglect its poor. 71.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 71.【答案】The latest studies show that more than 30%of children live with a significant deprivation, which is too bad to ignore. Government have made policies to relieve child poverty, which is not enough due to some reasons. Given more money, families in poverty can improve their standard of living and provide them with education. It is only a little money that can make a big difference. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，最新的研究表明，在美国超过30%的儿童生活在严重贫困中。政府需要进一步采取措施，许多学者认为给有孩子的家庭发放补贴可以缓解儿童贫困。 【详解】1 要点摘录①According to the latest studies, it’s more like 1 in 3. ②Child poverty is too harmful and punishing to ignore. ③Valuable policies intended to relieve child poverty have been enacted since then, but they are not enough. ④A family with two children receiving $300 to $400 a month per child could improve their standard of living immediately. ⑤For far less money-about $100 billion-the number of children living in official poverty could be cut in half. 2.缜密构思将1、2点一起整合，然后将其余3点分别概括。 3.遣词造句 The latest studies show that more than 30%of children live with a significant deprivation, which is too bad to ignore. Government have made policies to relieve child poverty, which is not enough due to some reasons. Given more money, families in poverty can improve their standard of living and provide them with education. It is only a little money that can make a big difference. 【点睛】[高分句型1] The latest studies show that more than 30%of children live with a significant deprivation, which is too bad to ignore.运用一个复杂的主从复合句对原文第一段和第二段进行了概括。其中which引导的非限制性定语从句非常高级。 [高分句型2]：It is only a little money that can make a big difference.用强调句对最后一段进行了概括，表达比较高级。 VI. Translation (15’) 72．对藏族人来说，洁白的哈达（khata）象征着纯洁和尊敬。（symbol）（汉译英） _________________________________________________________________________ 72.【答案】To the Tibetan people, the white khata is a key symbol of purity and respect. 【详解】考查名词，时态和主谓一致。根据句意可知，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，“对藏族人来说”是to the Tibetan people，“洁白的哈达”是the white khata，“象征着”是be a key symbol of，“纯洁和尊敬”都用名词作宾语，是purity and respect，都是不可数名词，主语the white khata是单数，be动词用is，故翻译为To the Tibetan people, the white khata is a key symbol of purity and respect. 73．通常情况下，在签署合同前，都会进行彻底的审查。（practice）（汉译英） _________________________________________________________________________ 73.【答案】It is normal/common practice to conduct a thorough review of the contract/thoroughly review the contract before signing it. 【详解】考查固定句型和动词短语。根据句意，该句描述习惯性行为，使用一般现在时。表示“通常情况下”为固定句型it is normal/common practice to do sth.，其中it作形式主语，真正的主语为动词不定式，位于句首单词首字母需大写；表示“彻底审查”可译为conduct a thorough review of或thoroughly review，表示“合同”为the contract作宾语，所以表示“进行彻底的审查”可译为to conduct a thorough review of the contract或to thoroughly review the contract，动词不定式作真正主语；表示“在签署合同前”为before signing it作时间状语，其中“签署”为signing（动名词形式作宾语），it指代the contract。故翻译为It is normal/common practice to conduct a thorough review of the contract/thoroughly review the contract before signing it. 74．随着对生态旅游兴趣的不断增长，越来越多的游客前往那些重视生态保护和可持续性的旅游目的地。（head）（汉译英） _________________________________________________________________________ 74.【答案】With a growing interest in eco-tourism/responsible tourism, more and more tourists are heading for tourist destinations that prioritize/value conservation and sustainability. 【详解】考查with复合结构、动词时态和定语从句。根据句意，“兴趣增长”是正在进行的状态，主句使用现在进行时；从句描述客观属性，使用一般现在时。表示“随着对生态旅游兴趣的不断增长”为with复合结构，表示“不断增长的兴趣”为a growing interest，“对生态旅游”为in eco-tourism或responsible tourism，所以译为with a growing interest in eco-tourism/responsible tourism作伴随状语，位于句首单词首字母需大写；表示“越来越多的游客”为more and more tourists作主语；表示“前往”即“前往某地”为head for，用现在进行时表趋势，主语为名词复数，所以谓语动词为are heading for，表示“旅游目的地”为tourist destinations作宾语，所以主句译为more and more tourists are heading for tourist destinations；表示“那些重视生态保护和可持续性的”为定语从句修饰先行词tourist destinations，先行词在从句中作主语，可使用关系代词that引导，表示“重视”为prioritize或value作谓语，用于一般现在时，主语that指代的是名词复数，所以谓语动词使用动词原形，表示“生态保护和可持续性”为conservation and sustainability作宾语，所以定语从句译为that prioritize/value conservation and sustainability。故翻译为With a growing interest in eco-tourism/responsible tourism, more and more tourists are heading for tourist destinations that prioritize/value conservation and sustainability. 75．仅仅一件T恤的生产过程就会消耗成吨的水，所以我们在购买快时尚品牌的服装前要三思，这样一来我们也可以在环保事业中贡献一份自己的力量。(difference)(汉译英) _________________________________________________________________________ 75.【答案】As (the process of) making a T-shirt consumes tons of water, we should think twice before we buy clothes from a fast fashion brand, so that we can make a difference to/in the environmental protection cause. 【详解】考查时态、状语从句和固定短语。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时。“仅仅一件T恤的生产过程就会消耗成吨的水”可用as引导原因状语从句，句首单词首字母大写，从句主语“一件T恤的生产过程”可译为the process of making a T-shirt或用动名词短语making a T-shirt作主语，从句谓语动词“消耗”译为consume，宾语“成吨的水”应用tons of water；主句主语“我们”为代词we，“要三思”可译为should think twice，“在购买快时尚品牌的服装前”应用before we buy clothes from a fast fashion brand，作时间状语，“这样一来我们也可以在环保事业中贡献一份自己的力量”用so that引导目的状语从句，从句主语“我们”为we，“可以在……中贡献一份自己的力量”译为can make a difference to/in...，“环保事业”译为the environmental protection cause。故翻译为As (the process of) making a T-shirt consumes tons of water, we should think twice before we buy clothes from a fast fashion brand, so that we can make a difference to/in the environmental protection cause.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Finnish architect observes city’s shifting rhythms Almost every day, Finnish architect Jarmo Suominen rides his bike through Shanghai — not toward a destination, but into the city’s rhythm. He carries no map. Beneath clotheslines and tangled wires, he stops to observe and sketch. For Suominen, a professor at Tongji University, curiosity fuels both his work and life. His students call him Sou Sou, meaning “search” — a nickname 21 reflects his constant exploration. His bike rides are a form of engagement — a way to witness 22 people and places interact. “In Shanghai, you never know what you’ll find,” he told Shanghai Daily. “You turn down an alley (小巷子) and suddenly you’re in a hidden garden behind a dead-end. People create these little worlds. It’s amazing.” He values Shanghai’s “sensitive renewal,” a process 23 (drive) as much by residents as by government departments. “The street is 24 life happens,” he said. “The government might renovate facades (外立面), but inside, people make small, gradual upgrades. It’s not about replacing everything, but about letting people shape their future.” One of his favorite examples is a car repair shop near his home. “Every night, it transforms into a nightclub 25 talks, performances and movie screenings. It wasn’t designed to be one — it just became one.” For Suominen, the street is a canvas, always evolving with the people inhabiting it. A man playing saxophone in an alley or a chess game under sycamores (梧桐树) 26 (become), through his eyes, a sign of constant transformation. “The soul of a place,” he said, “isn’t in the architecture. It’s in the life around 27 : the feeling that you’re welcome, 28 you’re a stranger.” Suominen has filled more than 20 sketchbooks with these scenes, each 29 (reveal) the dynamic interplay between people and space. “In older neighborhoods, you see lives spilling into the streets — something unique to China, especially Shanghai,” he added. “In Finland, where the cold keeps people inside, you 30 hardly observe people’s values and habits in the same way.” Section B（10’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．soil     B．practices     C． underscored     D．order E. themed     F. staged      G. anticipating     H. immersive I. boasts     J. solidifying     K. context Shanghai Unveils Pharaohs’ Glory The Shanghai Museum transformed into a gateway to the Nile Valley today as the monumental exhibition, “Top of the Pyramid: Ancient Egyptian Civilization”, officially opened its doors. Praised as the largest and most significant display of Egyptian antiquities ever 31 in China, the exhibition promises an unprecedented journey through 4,000 years of Pharaonic splendor, diplomacy, and enduring mystery. The grand opening ceremony resonated with a sense of historic occasion. Dignitaries, including high-level representatives from Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and Chinese cultural leaders, 32 the exhibition’s role as a peak of Sino-Egyptian cultural exchange. The presence of artifacts, many leaving Egyptian 33 for the first time, granted the event profound significance. The exhibition 34 a stunning 788 carefully selected artifacts sourced directly from seven premier Egyptian institutions. This collection transcends the typical; it features national treasures of the highest 35 . These masterpieces of ancient artistry, rarely seen outside Egypt offer an intimate glimpse into royal burial 36 and beliefs in the afterlife. “This exhibition represents far more than a display of antiquities.” stated Dr. Ahmed El-Damaty, a senior advisor from the Egyptian delegation, during the opening. “It is a profound dialogue between two of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations.” The exhibition is widely seen as a major soft power initiative, strengthening cultural ties between Egypt and China, particularly within the 37 of the Belt and Road framework. Anticipation in Shanghai has been building for months. “Egyptomania” is tangible, with 38 events, lectures, and merchandise appearing across the city. The Shanghai Museum has prepared extensively, creating 39 environments with dramatic lighting, contextual projections, and replicas of tomb interiors to enhance the visitor experience while ensuring state-of-the-art security and climate control for the priceless artifacts. “Top of the Pyramid” is not just an exhibition; it’s a monumental cultural event, placing the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian achievement firmly within reach of the Chinese public and 40 Shanghai’s status as a global hub for world-class cultural exchange. III. Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A（15’） 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. Taylor works full-time in the cleaning department while co-parenting his 10-year-old son. Ada, a cancer survivor, was enduring the miserable treatment. Mohammad was kicked out of prep school, then 41 for 100 days from high school for selling chocolate to his classmates. Emanuel was 42 a three-year sentence for armed robbery. These are not the profiles of students who get admitted to a classic university-run honors college. 43 , they are enrolled at the Honors Living-Learning Community of Rutgers University-Newark, an institution where they and others with similarly 44 life stories are pushing the boundaries of what defines an honors college by emphasizing courage in overcoming life’s difficulties, rather than 45 . Across the United States, the continuous drive for reputation has generated the 46 in the number of honors colleges. Nearly 900 schools, almost all being public universities and community colleges belong to the National Collegiate Honors Council. Among them, it is usually a brilliant idea for an institution to 47 applicants whose top-of-the-class high-school records and SAT scores would assure a renowned private university. The bait (诱饵) is the honors college, which promises the intimate feel of a small college within a(n) 48 state school. The students in these honors colleges, mostly white and middle-class, receive concierge treatment (礼宾待遇) with considerable scholarships, separate housing, special seminars, faculty mentors, research opportunities and first crack at courses in high demand. However, things are 49 at the Honors Living-Learning Community, which mainly enrolls black and Latino students–nearly twice as many as the total of black and Latino undergraduates in the rest of Rutgers-Newark’s programs. Their high-school grades and SAT scores are lower than the campus average. While academic skill 50 in determining who gets selected, the emphasis is on these students’ perseverance, their drive to learn and their passion for social justice. Every 51 of the honors program comes straight from the book on how to engage undergraduates 52 , and minority students in particular.

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) Based on their geography, volcanoes have different appearances. We classify them as stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, and cinder cones. Let’s dive into the differences between these types of volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes are tall and cone-shaped (锥形的). Instead of flat shield volcanoes like in Hawaii, they have bigger peaks. They build up by layering lava(熔岩), ash, and etc. Examples of stratovolcanoes include: ·MOUNT FUJI: Mount Fuji is a dormant (inactive) stratovolcano that last erupted in the early 1700s. MOUNT TOBA: Mount Toba in Sumatra is 100 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide is a caldera(喷火山口). When ash falls or lava flows, it solidifies and makes a narrower cone. If you travel along the Pacific Ring of Fire, these are mostly this type of volcano. The Pacific Ocean seafloor brings water causing eruptions from stratovolcanoes. Stratovolcanoes run through cycles with lots of small eruptions. Shield volcanoes earned their name because they’re shaped like a shield. Hawaiian volcanoes are typical shield volcanoes. If you go to Hawaii, they are broad and flat. These volcanoes can be hundreds of kilometers wide. Examples of shield volcanoes include: MAUNA LOA: Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the world’s largest active shield volcano. From its base below sea level to its summit, it’s also the tallest mountain in the world. ·FERNANDINA ISLAND: Fernandina Island is an active shield volcano in the Galapagos Islands. Shield volcanoes tend to erupt liquid lava. Violent explosions are possible. But they’re not as common for shield volcanoes. Because the lava has a low viscosity (more watery), it can flow on the surface better. When these types of volcanoes erupt, lava flows out large distances. Cinder cones are small in comparison to the other types of volcanoes. In fact, they’re only tens of hundreds of meters in size. But at the same time, they’re very steep typically with a bowl-shaped crater at the summit. Examples of cinder cones include: ·CERRO NEGRO: Cerro Negro is an active cinder cone in Nicaragua. It’s the youngest in Central America. ·PARICUTIN: The Paricutin volcano in Mexico is a cinder cone that suddenly erupted in a cornfield. Cinder cones form out of tephra, magma, and ash that it throws out. When cinder cones shoot out lava, it splits it up in the air and scatters. Eventually, it cools down and becomes part of its steep cone-like feature. 56．Which of the following statements is True based on the passage? A．MOUNT TOBA is an inactive volcano that erupted in the early 1700s. B．Shield volcanoes can be hundreds of kilometers wide and their lava flows out extensively. C．Though small in size, Cinder cones are the most active in frequency and the steepest. D．MAUNA LOA is the world’s highest mountain from the horizon to the mountaintop. 57．Which of the following best summarizes the introduction of each volcano? A．illustration-appearance-examples-features B．appearance-examples-formation-location C．illustration-features-examples-exceptions D．illustration–location–appearance–features 58．What is the purpose of writing this passage? A．To entertain those interested in geography with descriptions of volcanoes. B．To express general concern about eruptions of different types of volcanoes. C．To inform readers of the unique characteristics of different types of volcanoes. D．To educate students some basic information about disruptive effects of volcanoes. (B) If Timothy White were Captain America, perhaps simply one fling (挥动) of the superhero’s trademark shield could have saved the day. But this was real life. And though White has dressed up as Captain America for conventions, parades and the local Anti-Bullying Superhero Day, when he spotted trouble on this September afternoon he wasn’t wearing his costume and couldn’t rely on any superpowers. White, 38, was driving home when he noticed a gray Nissan four-door pickup (皮卡货车). It was hard to miss,since it made a turn and headed for the curb (马路牙子) before course-correcting, only to head for the curb again. As the pickup drew closer, White got a good look at the problem: The driver appeared to be asleep. Pretty soon, this guy’s going to crash into a house and kill himself or somebody else, White thought. While many people would have kept on driving, that’s not how White operates. He had to stop that vehicle. White pulled his car over and jumped out. The truck was going 10 to 15 mph, White estimates. He darted into the road, running around to the driver’s side. The window was down on this temperate autumn day. White grabbed the frame of the window — his legs moving in step with the pickup — and leaped in. The man behind the wheel, 64-year-old Todd DeAngelis, was just conscious enough to be startled by the peculiar sight of a stranger lying across his stomach, and he let out a yelp. White worked quickly. He took hold of the gear shift and forced the pickup into park, bringing it to a sudden stop. He jumped out of the truck window the same way he came in. From outside the truck, White asked DeAngelis if he was OK. “No,” he replied, in a haze. DeAngelis, a diabetic, was unexpectedly facing dangerously low blood sugar. An ambulance soon arrived and took DeAngelis to a hospital, where it was determined that had his blood sugar gone much lower, he could have gone into a diabetic coma. “He kept me from a much worse accident than it could have been,” DeAngelis said after his recovery. White’s actions that day were not out of character. As a teenager, he once kicked in the door of a house that was on fire to see if anyone was trapped inside. Fortunately, the house was empty. “I’m always trying to help, where I can, when I can,” he says. But jumping into a moving vehicle to prevent a crash? White admits this was new territory. “It took me a couple of days,” he says, “and a couple of beers, to chill out.” 59．Why does the author mention Captain America at the opening paragraph? A．To emphasize the impact of comic book conventions on people’s daily life. B．To explain why White was unable to save people with superpowers that day. C．To emphasize that real heroism comes from character not superpowers, by contrast. D．To suggest that White wished he had superpowers by dressing up like Captain America. 60．Which of the following statement is TRUE? A．Timothy White managed to save the driver by breaking the window, using his strength to push the truck off the road and pulling the driver out. B．Timothy White noticed the truck’s abnormal movements because the driver was asleep at the wheel, which prompted his immediate intervention. C．Wimothy White jumped into the moving truck through the open window and shifted it into park, saving the driver who was suffering from low blood sugar. D．After forcing the truck to stop, White immediately administered first at d to the driver outside the truck before the ambulance arrived. 61．What does the underlined phrase “in a haze” most likely mean? A．In anger. B．In a hurry. C．In concentration. D．In dizziness. 62．What can be inferred about Timothy What e from the passage? A．He often dreams and pretends to be a superhero to gain attention. B．He had a natural tendency to help others in dangerous situations. C．It wasn’t the first time he had jumped through a car window to save people. D．He relied on alcohol to cope with stress, tension and fear regularly. (C) Do you like the thick brush strokes and soft color palettes of an impressionist painting such as those by Claude Monet? Or do you prefer the bold colors and abstract shapes of a Rothko? Individual art tastes have a certain mystique to them, but now a new Caltech study shows that a simple computer program can accurately predict which paintings a person will like. The new study asked more than 1,500 volunteers to rate paintings in the genres of impressionism, cubism, abstract, and color field. The volunteers’ answers were fed into a computer program, which then could predict the volunteers’ art preferences. The findings not only demonstrated that computers could make these predictions but also led to a new understanding about how people judge art. “The main point is that we are gaining an insight into the mechanism that people use to make aesthetic judgments,” says O’Doherty, a neuroscientist in the team. In the study, the team programmed the computer to break a painting's visual attributes down into what they called low-level features—traits like contrast, saturation (饱和度), and color—as well as high-level features, which require human judgment and include traits such as whether the painting is dynamic or still. The computer program then estimates how much a specific feature is taken into account when making a decision about how much to like a particular piece of art. Both features are combined when making these decisions. Once the computer has estimated that, then it can successfully predict a person’s liking for another previously unseen piece of art. The researchers also discovered that the volunteers tended to cluster into three general categories: those who like paintings with real-life objects, such as an impressionist painting; those who like colorful abstract paintings; and those who like complex paintings, such as Picasso’s cubist portraits. The majority of people fell into the first “real-life object” category. While the computer program was successful at predicting the volunteers’ art preferences, the researchers say there is still more to learn about the nuances that go into any one individual’s taste. “There are aspects of individual preferences that we have not succeeded in explaining using this method,” says O’Doherty. “This more idiosyncratic component may relate to past experiences and other personal traits that might influence valuation.” 63．What was the main purpose of the Caltech study mentioned in the passage? A．To examine why people have different tastes in paintings. B．To compare different painting styles like impressionism and cubism. C．To prove that computers can create better art than humans. D．To determine the accuracy of computers’ prediction of art preferences. 64．Which of the following statements is TRUE about “high-level features” in the study? A．They were ignored by the computer program in the study. B．They involve subjective judgment. C．They are less accurate than low-level features in predicting preferences. D．They are easily quantifiable by machines. 65．The word “idiosyncratic” in the last paragraph most closely means A．vital B．predictable C．individual D．complex 66．Based on the passage, what is the likely next step for this research? A．Teaching computers to paint original artwork. B．Incorporating additional personal data into the prediction model. C．Eliminating the use of low-level features in predictions. D．Focusing mainly on impressionist paintings. Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A writer for all time 67 At that point, seven years after the playwright’s death, Shakespeare was just one of many respected writers of his era, but in the years that followed the words of that preface proved to be true. His reputation grew and grew and today Shakespeare is widely recognized as the greatest writer in the history of English literature. His plays live on, translated into at least 80 languages and performed all over the globe. Why is it that, 400 years after his death, his work is still rated so highly? Many writers before Shakespeare could write great comedy, or tragedy, or history, but Shakespeare could tell great stories in all these genres and more: from fantastic fairy tale (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) to political play (Richard Ⅲ). 68 In fact, he usually took them from traditional stories, history or other writers. In his hands, however, they became powerful tales that went beyond time and culture. Romeo and Juliet is a story of love, hate and teenage rebellion against strict parents. Macbeth shows the dangers of ruthless ambition. Othello deals with insecurity, trust and jealousy. 69 As well as productions using the original language and settings, there have been imaginative reinterpretations as musicals (Romeo and Juliet / West Side Story), sci-fi films(The Tempest/ Forbidden Planet), high school romantic comedies(welfth Night/ She’s the Man), Bollywood films (Macbeth/ Maqbool), and even children’s cartoons (Hamlet/ The Lion King). While some parts of Shakespeare’s plays are in prose, his greatest speeches are in verse and their language, though old-fashioned, still arouses modern audiences’ feelings. His jokes ensure that the theatre is often filled with laughter, but moments later there might be a most beautiful passage about love or chilling words about death, revenge or jealousy. 70 It is thought that he started writing these in 1592 when the disease stopped Londoners from being able to go to the theatre. They include some of the most famous lines about love and beauty in the English. A．He rarely came up with original plots for his plays. B．“He was not of an age, but for all time!” stated the preface of William Shakespeare’s collected plays when they were first published in 1623. C．It’s no surprise that theatre and film directors return again and again to his plays for their material. D．Even individual words were a chance for Shakespeare to show off his creativity. E．They include everyday words, such as generous, apostrophe, hurry, road and amazement. F．As well as at least 37 plays, he is known 30 for 154 short poems called sonnets. V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Giving Money to Families with Kids Can Relieve Child Poverty Nearly 1 in 5 American children is officially poor. That’s roughly 15 million kids. But the number living with a significant deprivation——insufficient food, seriously overcrowded housing or a lack of access to medical care due to cost-is actually much higher. According to the latest studies, it’s more like 1 in 3. A mountain of evidence now shows that poverty can lead to cognitive (认知的) and emotional damage in children. Child poverty is too harmful and punishing to ignore. A growing number of academics believe there is a solution: the government should give monthly cash allowances, without conditions, to every family with kids. When Michael Harrington’s classic book, The Other America, called attention to America’s general poverty rate of about 25% in 1962, Washington developed social programs that brought the rate down sharply. Valuable policies intended to relieve child poverty have been enacted since then, but they are not enough: 1 in 3 children does not receive the full benefits of these programs because their parents do not qualify for them. A family with two children receiving $300 to $400 a month per child could improve their standard of living immediately. Money can buy food, heat, coats, eye-glasses and regular doctors’ visits, including transportation, and help pay for childcare. It can also help reduce family stress and help parents provide a psychologically nourishing environment for learning and social development. Studies demonstrate children’s improved educational performance when families are simply given more money. For far less money-about $100 billion-the number of children living in official poverty could be cut in half. Such a policy would be a humane, practical, efficient victory for a nation too willing to neglect its poor. 71.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.

An environmental charity report says that nearly one million plastic drink bottles are sold every minute worldwide. It's clear that plastics can be bad for nature. So many companies and supermarkets are switching to other types of packaging. However, switching from plastics to avoid harm to the environment is more complicated than you might think and can have unexpected side effects. Problems with plastics alternatives include the amount of material they use and the cost in terms of energy and raw materials to make and distribute them. For example, glass bottles can be cleaned and reused or recycled. However, they are heavier than plastic ones, so transporting them uses more fuel and causes more pollution. According to previous research, paper bags use four times as much energy to make as plastic bags. Paper also requires trees to be cut down, and making paper uses a lot of water. Meanwhile, environmentally friendly plastic bags made with potatoes are supposed to break down naturally, but some researchers say they can only do this in special facilities. IT seems that most forms of packaging have an issue, so perhaps the best thing we can do is ask manufacturers to use as little as possible . in the first place.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Finnish architect observes city’s shifting rhythms Almost every day, Finnish architect Jarmo Suominen rides his bike through Shanghai — not toward a destination, but into the city’s rhythm. He carries no map. Beneath clotheslines and tangled wires, he stops to observe and sketch. For Suominen, a professor at Tongji University, curiosity fuels both his work and life. His students call him Sou Sou, meaning “search” — a nickname 21 reflects his constant exploration. His bike rides are a form of engagement — a way to witness 22 people and places interact. “In Shanghai, you never know what you’ll find,” he told Shanghai Daily. “You turn down an alley (小巷子) and suddenly you’re in a hidden garden behind a dead-end. People create these little worlds. It’s amazing.” He values Shanghai’s “sensitive renewal,” a process 23 (drive) as much by residents as by government departments. “The street is 24 life happens,” he said. “The government might renovate facades (外立面), but inside, people make small, gradual upgrades. It’s not about replacing everything, but about letting people shape their future.” One of his favorite examples is a car repair shop near his home. “Every night, it transforms into a nightclub 25 talks, performances and movie screenings. It wasn’t designed to be one — it just became one.” For Suominen, the street is a canvas, always evolving with the people inhabiting it. A man playing saxophone in an alley or a chess game under sycamores (梧桐树) 26 (become), through his eyes, a sign of constant transformation. “The soul of a place,” he said, “isn’t in the architecture. It’s in the life around 27 : the feeling that you’re welcome, 28 you’re a stranger.” Suominen has filled more than 20 sketchbooks with these scenes, each 29 (reveal) the dynamic interplay between people and space. “In older neighborhoods, you see lives spilling into the streets — something unique to China, especially Shanghai,” he added. “In Finland, where the cold keeps people inside, you 30 hardly observe people’s values and habits in the same way.” Section B（10’） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．soil     B．practices     C． underscored     D．order E. themed     F. staged      G. anticipating     H. immersive I. boasts     J. solidifying     K. context Shanghai Unveils Pharaohs’ Glory The Shanghai Museum transformed into a gateway to the Nile Valley today as the monumental exhibition, “Top of the Pyramid: Ancient Egyptian Civilization”, officially opened its doors. Praised as the largest and most significant display of Egyptian antiquities ever 31 in China, the exhibition promises an unprecedented journey through 4,000 years of Pharaonic splendor, diplomacy, and enduring mystery. The grand opening ceremony resonated with a sense of historic occasion. Dignitaries, including high-level representatives from Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and Chinese cultural leaders, 32 the exhibition’s role as a peak of Sino-Egyptian cultural exchange. The presence of artifacts, many leaving Egyptian 33 for the first time, granted the event profound significance. The exhibition 34 a stunning 788 carefully selected artifacts sourced directly from seven premier Egyptian institutions. This collection transcends the typical; it features national treasures of the highest 35 . These masterpieces of ancient artistry, rarely seen outside Egypt offer an intimate glimpse into royal burial 36 and beliefs in the afterlife. “This exhibition represents far more than a display of antiquities.” stated Dr. Ahmed El-Damaty, a senior advisor from the Egyptian delegation, during the opening. “It is a profound dialogue between two of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations.” The exhibition is widely seen as a major soft power initiative, strengthening cultural ties between Egypt and China, particularly within the 37 of the Belt and Road framework. Anticipation in Shanghai has been building for months. “Egyptomania” is tangible, with 38 events, lectures, and merchandise appearing across the city. The Shanghai Museum has prepared extensively, creating 39 environments with dramatic lighting, contextual projections, and replicas of tomb interiors to enhance the visitor experience while ensuring state-of-the-art security and climate control for the priceless artifacts. “Top of the Pyramid” is not just an exhibition; it’s a monumental cultural event, placing the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian achievement firmly within reach of the Chinese public and 40 Shanghai’s status as a global hub for world-class cultural exchange. III. Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A（15’） 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. Taylor works full-time in the cleaning department while co-parenting his 10-year-old son. Ada, a cancer survivor, was enduring the miserable treatment. Mohammad was kicked out of prep school, then 41 for 100 days from high school for selling chocolate to his classmates. Emanuel was 42 a three-year sentence for armed robbery. These are not the profiles of students who get admitted to a classic university-run honors college. 43 , they are enrolled at the Honors Living-Learning Community of Rutgers University-Newark, an institution where they and others with similarly 44 life stories are pushing the boundaries of what defines an honors college by emphasizing courage in overcoming life’s difficulties, rather than 45 . Across the United States, the continuous drive for reputation has generated the 46 in the number of honors colleges. Nearly 900 schools, almost all being public universities and community colleges belong to the National Collegiate Honors Council. Among them, it is usually a brilliant idea for an institution to 47 applicants whose top-of-the-class high-school records and SAT scores would assure a renowned private university. The bait (诱饵) is the honors college, which promises the intimate feel of a small college within a(n) 48 state school. The students in these honors colleges, mostly white and middle-class, receive concierge treatment (礼宾待遇) with considerable scholarships, separate housing, special seminars, faculty mentors, research opportunities and first crack at courses in high demand. However, things are 49 at the Honors Living-Learning Community, which mainly enrolls black and Latino students–nearly twice as many as the total of black and Latino undergraduates in the rest of Rutgers-Newark’s programs. Their high-school grades and SAT scores are lower than the campus average. While academic skill 50 in determining who gets selected, the emphasis is on these students’ perseverance, their drive to learn and their passion for social justice. Every 51 of the honors program comes straight from the book on how to engage undergraduates 52 , and minority students in particular. The students receive scholarships that cover their living expenses well as tuition. Without this 53 , most couldn’t enroll full-time, and evidence shows that part-time students are far less likely to graduate. A 54 number of community college graduates are admitted, which gives 18-year-olds, fresh out of high school, an opportunity to learn from peers with more life 55 . 41．A．graduated B．abandoned C．prohibited D．suspended 42．A．reading B．serving C．passing D．escaping 43．A．Therefore B．Moreover C．Instead D．Similarly 44．A．faulty B．smooth C．meaningful D．interesting 45．A．social experience B．family backgrounds C．academic performance D．human relationships 46．A．pursuit B．explosion C．exploit D．progress 47．A．tempt B．enroll C．introduce D．cultivate 48．A．remote B．public C．packed D．outstanding 49．A．difficult B．different C．discouraging D．disturbing 50．A．differs B．ranges C．matters D．varies 51．A．student B．major C．component D．college 52．A．especially B．intensively C．generally D．particularly 53．A．passion B．aim C．aid D．initiative 54．A．stable B．certain C．random D．growing 55．A．expectancy B．tragedy C．experience D．passion Section B（22’） 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) Based on their geography, volcanoes have different appearances. We classify them as stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, and cinder cones. Let’s dive into the differences between these types of volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes are tall and cone-shaped (锥形的). Instead of flat shield volcanoes like in Hawaii, they have bigger peaks. They build up by layering lava(熔岩), ash, and etc. Examples of stratovolcanoes include: ·MOUNT FUJI: Mount Fuji is a dormant (inactive) stratovolcano that last erupted in the early 1700s. MOUNT TOBA: Mount Toba in Sumatra is 100 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide is a caldera(喷火山口). When ash falls or lava flows, it solidifies and makes a narrower cone. If you travel along the Pacific Ring of Fire, these are mostly this type of volcano. The Pacific Ocean seafloor brings water causing eruptions from stratovolcanoes. Stratovolcanoes run through cycles with lots of small eruptions. Shield volcanoes earned their name because they’re shaped like a shield. Hawaiian volcanoes are typical shield volcanoes. If you go to Hawaii, they are broad and flat. These volcanoes can be hundreds of kilometers wide. Examples of shield volcanoes include: MAUNA LOA: Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the world’s largest active shield volcano. From its base below sea level to its summit, it’s also the tallest mountain in the world. ·FERNANDINA ISLAND: Fernandina Island is an active shield volcano in the Galapagos Islands. Shield volcanoes tend to erupt liquid lava. Violent explosions are possible. But they’re not as common for shield volcanoes. Because the lava has a low viscosity (more watery), it can flow on the surface better. When these types of volcanoes erupt, lava flows out large distances. Cinder cones are small in comparison to the other types of volcanoes. In fact, they’re only tens of hundreds of meters in size. But at the same time, they’re very steep typically with a bowl-shaped crater at the summit. Examples of cinder cones include: ·CERRO NEGRO: Cerro Negro is an active cinder cone in Nicaragua. It’s the youngest in Central America. ·PARICUTIN: The Paricutin volcano in Mexico is a cinder cone that suddenly erupted in a cornfield. Cinder cones form out of tephra, magma, and ash that it throws out. When cinder cones shoot out lava, it splits it up in the air and scatters. Eventually, it cools down and becomes part of its steep cone-like feature. 56．Which of the following statements is True based on the passage? A．MOUNT TOBA is an inactive volcano that erupted in the early 1700s. B．Shield volcanoes can be hundreds of kilometers wide and their lava flows out extensively. C．Though small in size, Cinder cones are the most active in frequency and the steepest. D．MAUNA LOA is the world’s highest mountain from the horizon to the mountaintop. 57．Which of the following best summarizes the introduction of each volcano? A．illustration-appearance-examples-features B．appearance-examples-formation-location C．illustration-features-examples-exceptions D．illustration–location–appearance–features 58．What is the purpose of writing this passage? A．To entertain those interested in geography with descriptions of volcanoes. B．To express general concern about eruptions of different types of volcanoes. C．To inform readers of the unique characteristics of different types of volcanoes. D．To educate students some basic information about disruptive effects of volcanoes. (B) If Timothy White were Captain America, perhaps simply one fling (挥动) of the superhero’s trademark shield could have saved the day. But this was real life. And though White has dressed up as Captain America for conventions, parades and the local Anti-Bullying Superhero Day, when he spotted trouble on this September afternoon he wasn’t wearing his costume and couldn’t rely on any superpowers. White, 38, was driving home when he noticed a gray Nissan four-door pickup (皮卡货车). It was hard to miss,since it made a turn and headed for the curb (马路牙子) before course-correcting, only to head for the curb again. As the pickup drew closer, White got a good look at the problem: The driver appeared to be asleep. Pretty soon, this guy’s going to crash into a house and kill himself or somebody else, White thought. While many people would have kept on driving, that’s not how White operates. He had to stop that vehicle. White pulled his car over and jumped out. The truck was going 10 to 15 mph, White estimates. He darted into the road, running around to the driver’s side. The window was down on this temperate autumn day. White grabbed the frame of the window — his legs moving in step with the pickup — and leaped in. The man behind the wheel, 64-year-old Todd DeAngelis, was just conscious enough to be startled by the peculiar sight of a stranger lying across his stomach, and he let out a yelp. White worked quickly. He took hold of the gear shift and forced the pickup into park, bringing it to a sudden stop. He jumped out of the truck window the same way he came in. From outside the truck, White asked DeAngelis if he was OK. “No,” he replied, in a haze. DeAngelis, a diabetic, was unexpectedly facing dangerously low blood sugar. An ambulance soon arrived and took DeAngelis to a hospital, where it was determined that had his blood sugar gone much lower, he could have gone into a diabetic coma. “He kept me from a much worse accident than it could have been,” DeAngelis said after his recovery. White’s actions that day were not out of character. As a teenager, he once kicked in the door of a house that was on fire to see if anyone was trapped inside. Fortunately, the house was empty. “I’m always trying to help, where I can, when I can,” he says. But jumping into a moving vehicle to prevent a crash? White admits this was new territory. “It took me a couple of days,” he says, “and a couple of beers, to chill out.” 59．Why does the author mention Captain America at the opening paragraph? A．To emphasize the impact of comic book conventions on people’s daily life. B．To explain why White was unable to save people with superpowers that day. C．To emphasize that real heroism comes from character not superpowers, by contrast. D．To suggest that White wished he had superpowers by dressing up like Captain America. 60．Which of the following statement is TRUE? A．Timothy White managed to save the driver by breaking the window, using his strength to push the truck off the road and pulling the driver out. B．Timothy White noticed the truck’s abnormal movements because the driver was asleep at the wheel, which prompted his immediate intervention. C．Wimothy White jumped into the moving truck through the open window and shifted it into park, saving the driver who was suffering from low blood sugar. D．After forcing the truck to stop, White immediately administered first at d to the driver outside the truck before the ambulance arrived. 61．What does the underlined phrase “in a haze” most likely mean? A．In anger. B．In a hurry. C．In concentration. D．In dizziness. 62．What can be inferred about Timothy What e from the passage? A．He often dreams and pretends to be a superhero to gain attention. B．He had a natural tendency to help others in dangerous situations. C．It wasn’t the first time he had jumped through a car window to save people. D．He relied on alcohol to cope with stress, tension and fear regularly. (C) Do you like the thick brush strokes and soft color palettes of an impressionist painting such as those by Claude Monet? Or do you prefer the bold colors and abstract shapes of a Rothko? Individual art tastes have a certain mystique to them, but now a new Caltech study shows that a simple computer program can accurately predict which paintings a person will like. The new study asked more than 1,500 volunteers to rate paintings in the genres of impressionism, cubism, abstract, and color field. The volunteers’ answers were fed into a computer program, which then could predict the volunteers’ art preferences. The findings not only demonstrated that computers could make these predictions but also led to a new understanding about how people judge art. “The main point is that we are gaining an insight into the mechanism that people use to make aesthetic judgments,” says O’Doherty, a neuroscientist in the team. In the study, the team programmed the computer to break a painting's visual attributes down into what they called low-level features—traits like contrast, saturation (饱和度), and color—as well as high-level features, which require human judgment and include traits such as whether the painting is dynamic or still. The computer program then estimates how much a specific feature is taken into account when making a decision about how much to like a particular piece of art. Both features are combined when making these decisions. Once the computer has estimated that, then it can successfully predict a person’s liking for another previously unseen piece of art. The researchers also discovered that the volunteers tended to cluster into three general categories: those who like paintings with real-life objects, such as an impressionist painting; those who like colorful abstract paintings; and those who like complex paintings, such as Picasso’s cubist portraits. The majority of people fell into the first “real-life object” category. While the computer program was successful at predicting the volunteers’ art preferences, the researchers say there is still more to learn about the nuances that go into any one individual’s taste. “There are aspects of individual preferences that we have not succeeded in explaining using this method,” says O’Doherty. “This more idiosyncratic component may relate to past experiences and other personal traits that might influence valuation.” 63．What was the main purpose of the Caltech study mentioned in the passage? A．To examine why people have different tastes in paintings. B．To compare different painting styles like impressionism and cubism. C．To prove that computers can create better art than humans. D．To determine the accuracy of computers’ prediction of art preferences. 64．Which of the following statements is TRUE about “high-level features” in the study? A．They were ignored by the computer program in the study. B．They involve subjective judgment. C．They are less accurate than low-level features in predicting preferences. D．They are easily quantifiable by machines. 65．The word “idiosyncratic” in the last paragraph most closely means A．vital B．predictable C．individual D．complex 66．Based on the passage, what is the likely next step for this research? A．Teaching computers to paint original artwork. B．Incorporating additional personal data into the prediction model. C．Eliminating the use of low-level features in predictions. D．Focusing mainly on impressionist paintings. Section C（8’） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A writer for all time 67 At that point, seven years after the playwright’s death, Shakespeare was just one of many respected writers of his era, but in the years that followed the words of that preface proved to be true. His reputation grew and grew and today Shakespeare is widely recognized as the greatest writer in the history of English literature. His plays live on, translated into at least 80 languages and performed all over the globe. Why is it that, 400 years after his death, his work is still rated so highly? Many writers before Shakespeare could write great comedy, or tragedy, or history, but Shakespeare could tell great stories in all these genres and more: from fantastic fairy tale (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) to political play (Richard Ⅲ). 68 In fact, he usually took them from traditional stories, history or other writers. In his hands, however, they became powerful tales that went beyond time and culture. Romeo and Juliet is a story of love, hate and teenage rebellion against strict parents. Macbeth shows the dangers of ruthless ambition. Othello deals with insecurity, trust and jealousy. 69 As well as productions using the original language and settings, there have been imaginative reinterpretations as musicals (Romeo and Juliet / West Side Story), sci-fi films(The Tempest/ Forbidden Planet), high school romantic comedies(welfth Night/ She’s the Man), Bollywood films (Macbeth/ Maqbool), and even children’s cartoons (Hamlet/ The Lion King). While some parts of Shakespeare’s plays are in prose, his greatest speeches are in verse and their language, though old-fashioned, still arouses modern audiences’ feelings. His jokes ensure that the theatre is often filled with laughter, but moments later there might be a most beautiful passage about love or chilling words about death, revenge or jealousy. 70 It is thought that he started writing these in 1592 when the disease stopped Londoners from being able to go to the theatre. They include some of the most famous lines about love and beauty in the English. A．He rarely came up with original plots for his plays. B．“He was not of an age, but for all time!” stated the preface of William Shakespeare’s collected plays when they were first published in 1623. C．It’s no surprise that theatre and film directors return again and again to his plays for their material. D．Even individual words were a chance for Shakespeare to show off his creativity. E．They include everyday words, such as generous, apostrophe, hurry, road and amazement. F．As well as at least 37 plays, he is known 30 for 154 short poems called sonnets. V. Summary writing (10’) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Giving Money to Families with Kids Can Relieve Child Poverty Nearly 1 in 5 American children is officially poor. That’s roughly 15 million kids. But the number living with a significant deprivation——insufficient food, seriously overcrowded housing or a lack of access to medical care due to cost-is actually much higher. According to the latest studies, it’s more like 1 in 3. A mountain of evidence now shows that poverty can lead to cognitive (认知的) and emotional damage in children. Child poverty is too harmful and punishing to ignore. A growing number of academics believe there is a solution: the government should give monthly cash allowances, without conditions, to every family with kids. When Michael Harrington’s classic book, The Other America, called attention to America’s general poverty rate of about 25% in 1962, Washington developed social programs that brought the rate down sharply. Valuable policies intended to relieve child poverty have been enacted since then, but they are not enough: 1 in 3 children does not receive the full benefits of these programs because their parents do not qualify for them. A family with two children receiving $300 to $400 a month per child could improve their standard of living immediately. Money can buy food, heat, coats, eye-glasses and regular doctors’ visits, including transportation, and help pay for childcare. It can also help reduce family stress and help parents provide a psychologically nourishing environment for learning and social development. Studies demonstrate children’s improved educational performance when families are simply given more money. For far less money-about $100 billion-the number of children living in official poverty could be cut in half. Such a policy would be a humane, practical, efficient victory for a nation too willing to neglect its poor. 71.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VI.

Finnish architect observes city's shifting rhythms 试题第3页（共14页） Almost every day,Finnish architect Jarmo Suominen rides his bike through Shanghai-not toward a destination,but into the city's rhythm.He carries no map.Beneath clotheslines and tangled wires,he stops to observe and sketch.For Suominen,a professor at Tongji University,curiosity fuels both his work and life.His students call him Sou Sou,meaning"search"-a nickname 21 reflects his constant exploration.

Across the United States,the continuous drive for reputation has generated the 46 in the number of honors colleges.Nearly 900 schools,almost all being public universities and community colleges belong to the National Collegiate Honors Council.Among them,it is usually a brilliant idea for an institution to 、47 applicants whose top-of-the-class high-school records and SAT scores would assure a renowned private university. The bait is the honors college,which promises the intimate feel of a small college within a(n)48 state school.The students in these honors colleges,mostly white and middle-class,receive concierge treatment with considerable scholarships,separate housing,special seminars,faculty mentors,research opportunities and first crack at courses in high demand. However,things are 49 at the Honors Living-Learning Community,which mainly enrolls black and Latino students-nearly twice as many as the total of black and Latino undergraduates in the rest of Rutgers-Newark's programs.Their high-school grades and SAT scores are lower than the campus average.While academic skill 50 in determining who gets selected,the emphasis is on these students'perseverance, their drive to learn and their passion for social justice. Every51 of the honors program comes straight from the book on how to engage undergraduates 52,and minority students in particular.The students receive scholarships that cover their living expenses well as tuition.Without this 53,most couldn't enroll full-time,and evidence shows that part-time students are far less likely to graduate.A 54 number of community college graduates are admitted,which gives 18-year-olds,fresh out of high school,an opportunity to learn from peers with more life 55 41.A.graduated B.abandoned C.prohibited D.suspended 42.A.reading B.serving C.passing D.escaping 43.A.Therefore B.Moreover C.Instead D.Similarly 44.A.faulty B.smooth C.meaningful D.interesting 45.A.social experience B.family backgrounds C.academic performance D.human relationships 46.A.pursuit B.explosion C.exploit D.progress 47.A.tempt B.enroll C.introduce D.cultivate 48.A.remote B.public C.packed D.outstanding 49.A.difficult B.different C.discouraging D.disturbing 50.A.differs B.ranges C.matters D.varies 试题第6页（共14页） 四学科网·学易金卷做概税：限是音” 51.A.student B.major C.component D.college 52.A.especially B.intensively C.generally D.particularly 53.A.passion B.aim C.aid D.initiative 54.A.stable B.certain C.random D.growing 55.A.expectancy B.tragedy C.experience D.passion Section B (22') 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) Based on their geography,volcanoes have different appearances.We classify them as stratovolcanoes. shield volcanoes,and cinder cones.Let's dive into the differences between these types of volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes Stratovolcanoes are tall and cone-shoped )Instead of flat shield volcanoes like in Hawaii,they have bigger peaks.They build up by layering lava(f熔岩)，ash,and etc. Examples of stratovolcanoes include: .MOUNT FUJI:Mount Fuji is a dormant (inactive)stratovolcano that last erupted in the early 1700s. MOUNT TOBA:Mount Toba in Sumatra is 100 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide is a caldera( 山口)， When ash falls or lava flows,it solidifies and makes a narrower cone.If you travel along the Pacific Ring of Fire,these are mostly this type of volcano.The Pacific Ocean seafloor brings water causing eruptions from stratovolcanoes.Stratovolcanoes run through cycles with lots of small eruptions. Shield Volcanoes Shield volcanoes earned their name because they're shaped like a shield.Hawaiian volcanoes are typical 试题第7页（共14页） shield volcanoes.If you go to Hawaii,they are broad and flat.These volcanoes can be hundreds of kilometers ○ wide Examples of shield volcanoes include: MAUNA LOA:Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the world's largest active shield volcano.From its base below sea level to its summit,it's also the tallest mountain in the world & FERNANDINA ISLAND:Fernandina Island is an active shield volcano in the Galapagos Islands. 卡 Shield volcanoes tend to erupt liquid lava.Violent explosions are possible.But they're not as common for shield volcanoes.Because the lava has a low viscosity (more watery),it can flow on the surface better.When these 张 types of volcanoes erupt,lava flows out large distances. Cinder Cones 数 游 Cinder cones are small in comparison to the other types of volcanoes.In fact,they're only tens of hundreds of meters in size.But at the same time,they're very steep typically with a bowl-shaped crater at the summit. Examples of cinder cones include 为 .CERRO NEGRO:Cerro Negro is an active cinder cone in Nicaragua.It's the youngest in Central America. PARICUTIN:The Paricutin volcano in Mexico is a cinder cone that suddenly erupted in a cornfield. 时 Cinder cones form out of tephra,magma,and ash that it throws out.When cinder cones shoot out lava,it splits it up in the air and scatters.Eventually,it cools down and becomes part of its steep cone-like feature. 世 56.Which of the following statements is True based on the passage? .: O A.MOUNT TOBA is an inactive volcano that erupted in the early 1700s. B.Shield volcanoes can be hundreds of kilometers wide and their lava flows out extensively. C.Though small in size,Cinder cones are the most active in frequency and the steepest.

(B) If Timothy White were Captain America,perhaps simply one fling (of the superhero's trademark : shield could have saved the day.But this was real life.And though White has dressed up as Captain America for conventions,parades and the local Anti-Bullying Superhero Day,when he spotted trouble on this September : afternoon he wasn't wearing his costume and couldn't rely on any superpowers. White,38,was driving home when he noticed a gray Nissan four-door pickup ()It was hard to : ·: miss,since it made a turn and headed for the curb (before course-correcting,only to head for the curb : again. : As the pickup drew closer,White got a good look at the problem:The driver appeared to be asleep.Pretty : soon,this guy's going to crash into a house and kill himself or somebody else,White thought.While many people O would have kept on driving,that's not how White operates.He had to stop that vehicle White pulled his car over and jumped out.The truck was going 10 to 15 mph,White estimates.He darted into the road,running around to the driver's side.The window was down on this temperate autumn day.White 斟 grabbed the frame of the window-his legs moving in step with the pickup-and leaped in. : The man behind the wheel,64-year-old Todd DeAngelis,was just conscious enough to be startled by the : peculiar sight of a stranger lying across his stomach,and he let out a yelp. .: White worked quickly.He took hold of the gear shift and forced the pickup into park,bringing it to a O sudden stop.He jumped out of the truck window the same way he came in. From outside the truck,White asked DeAngelis if he was OK."No,"he replied,in a haze.DeAngelis,a : diabetic,was unexpectedly facing dangerously low blood sugar. ·: 区 An ambulance soon arrived and took DeAngelis to a hospital,where it was determined that had his blood sugar gone much lower,he could have gone into a diabetic coma."He kept me from a much worse accident than it could have been,"DeAngelis said after his recovery. White's actions that day were not out of character.As a teenager,he once kicked in the door of a house that O : was on fire to see if anyone was trapped inside.Fortunately,the house was empty. 试题第9页（共14页) 学科网·学易金卷做好德：就限是鲁 "I'm always trying to help,where I can,when I can,"he says.But jumping into a moving vehicle to prevent a crash?White admits this was new territory."It took me a couple of days,"he says,"and a couple of beers,to chill out." 59.Why does the author mention Captain America at the opening paragraph? A.To emphasize the impact of comic book conventions on people's daily life B.To explain why White was unable to save people with superpowers that day. C.To emphasize that real heroism comes from character not superpowers,by contrast. D.To suggest that White wished he had superpowers by dressing up like Captain America. 60.Which of the following statement is TRUE? A.Timothy White managed to save the driver by breaking the window,using his strength to push the truck off the road and pulling the driver out B.Timothy White noticed the truck's abnormal movements because the driver was asleep at the wheel,which prompted his immediate intervention. C.Wimothy White jumped into the moving truck through the open window and shifted it into park,saving the driver who was suffering from low blood sugar. D.After forcing the truck to stop,White immediately administered first at d to the driver outside the truck before the ambulance arrived. 61.What does the underlined phrase"in a haze"most likely mean? A.In anger. B.In a hurry. C.In concentration. D.In dizziness. 62.What can be inferred about Timothy What e from the passage? A.He often dreams and pretends to be a superhero to gain attention. B.He had a natural tendency to help others in dangerous situations C.It wasn't the first time he had jumped through a car window to save people. D.He relied on alcohol to cope with stress,tension and fear regularly. (C) Do you like the thick brush strokes and soft color palettes of an impressionist painting such as those by Claude Monet?Or do you prefer the bold colors and abstract shapes of a Rothko?Individual art tastes have a certain mystique to them,but now a new Caltech study shows that a simple computer program can accurately predict which paintings a person will like. The new study asked more than 1,500 volunteers to rate paintings in the genres of impressionism,cubism, 试题第10页（共14页） 西学科网·学易金卷做好费：就限是音普 abstract,and color field.The volunteers'answers were fed into a computer program,which then could predict the volunteers'art preferences The findings not only demonstrated that computers could make these predictions but also led to a new understanding about how people judge art."The main point is that we are gaining an insight into the mechanism that people use to make aesthetic judgments,"says O'Doherty,a neuroscientist in the team. In the study,the team programmed the computer to break a painting's visual attributes down into what they called low-level features-traits like contrast,saturation ()and color-as well as high-level features, which require human judgment and include traits such as whether the painting is dynamic or still. The computer program then estimates how much a specific feature is taken into account when making a decision about how much to like a particular piece of art.Both features are combined when making these decisions.Once the computer has estimated that,then it can successfully predict a person's liking for another previously unseen piece of art. The researchers also discovered that the volunteers tended to cluster into three general categories:those who like paintings with real-life objects,such as an impressionist painting;those who like colorful abstract paintings;and those who like complex paintings,such as Picasso's cubist portraits.The majority of people fell into the first“real-life object”category. While the computer program was successful at predicting the volunteers'art preferences,the researchers say there is still more to learn about the nuances that go into any one individual's taste."There are aspects of individual preferences that we have not succeeded in explaining using this method,"says O'Doherty."This more idiosyncratic component may relate to past experiences and other personal traits that might influence valuation." 63.What was the main purpose of the Caltech study mentioned in the passage? A.To examine why people have different tastes in paintings. B.To compare different painting styles like impressionism and cubism. C.To prove that computers can create better art than humans. D.To determine the accuracy of computers'prediction of art preferences. 64.Which of the following statements is TRUE about"high-level features"in the study? A.They were ignored by the computer program in the study. B.They involve subjective judgment. C.They are less accurate than low-level features in predicting preferences. D.They are easily quantifiable by machines. 65.The word"idiosyncratic"in the last paragraph most closely means 试题第11页（共14页） A.vital B.predictable C.individual D.complex 66.Based on the passage,what is the likely next step for this research? A.Teaching computers to paint original artwork. B.Incorporating additional personal data into the prediction model. C.Eliminating the use of low-level features in predictions. D.Focusing mainly on impressionist paintings. Section C (8') Directions:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence 张 can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A writer for all time 67 At that point,seven years after the playwright's death,Shakespeare was just one of many respected writers of his era,but in the years that followed the words of that preface proved to be true.His 数 游 reputation grew and grew and today Shakespeare is widely recognized as the greatest writer in the history of 游 English literature.His plays live on,translated into at least 80 languages and performed all over the globe.Why is it that,400 years after his death,his work is still rated so highly? O Many writers before Shakespeare could write great comedy,or tragedy,or history,but Shakespeare could tell great stories in all these genres and more:from fantastic fairy tale (A Midsummer Night's Dream)to political .: play (Richard IID.68 In fact,he usually took them from traditional stories,history or other writers.In his hands,however,they became powerful tales that went beyond time and culture.Romeo and Juliet is a story of love, 时 hate and teenage rebellion against strict parents.Macbeth shows the dangers of ruthless ambition.Othello deals with insecurity,trust and jealousy.69 As well as productions using the original language and settings,there 性 have been imaginative reinterpretations as musicals (Romeo and Juliet West Side Story),sci-fi films(The Tempest/Forbidden Planet),high school romantic comedies(welfth Night/She's the Man),Bollywood films O . (Macbeth/Magbool),and even children's cartoons (Hamlet/The Lion King). While some parts of Shakespeare's plays are in prose,his greatest speeches are in verse and their language, though old-fashioned,still arouses modern audiences'feelings.His jokes ensure that the theatre is often filled with @ laughter,but moments later there might be a most beautiful passage about love or chilling words about death, revenge or jealousy.70 It is thought that he started writing these in 1592 when the disease stopped Londoners from being able to go to the theatre.They include some of the most famous lines about love and beauty in the English. A.He rarely came up with original plots for his plays. 试题第12页（共14页） B."He was not of an age,but for all time!"stated the preface of William Shakespeare's collected plays when they were first published in 1623. 0 C.It's no surprise that theatre and film directors return again and again to his plays for their material. D.Even individual words were a chance for Shakespeare to show off his creativity. : E.They include everyday words,such as generous,apostrophe,hurry,road and amazement F.As well as at least 37 plays,he is known 30 for 154 short poems called sonnets. V.Summary writing (10') Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and .: how it is illustrated.Use your own words as far as possible. O Giving Money to Families with Kids Can Relieve Child Poverty Nearly 1 in 5 American children is officially poor.That's roughly 15 million kids.But the number living with a significant deprivation-insufficient food,seriously overcrowded housing or a lack of access to medical .: care due to cost-is actually much higher.According to the latest studies,it's more like 1 in 3. A mountain of evidence now shows that poverty can lead to cognitive and emotional damage in : children.Child poverty is too harmful and punishing to ignore.A growing number of academics believe there is a solution:the government should give monthly cash allowances,without conditions,to every family with kids. O When Michael Harrington's classic book,The Other America,called attention to America's general poverty rate of about 25%in 1962,Washington developed social programs that brought the rate down sharply.Valuable policies intended to relieve child poverty have been enacted since then,but they are not enough:1 in 3 children 斟 does not receive the full benefits of these programs because their parents do not qualify for them. A family with two children receiving $300 to $400 a month per child could improve their standard of living immediately.Money can buy food,heat,coats,eye-glasses and regular doctors'visits,including transportation, and help pay for childcare.It can also help reduce family stress and help parents provide a psychologically nourishing environment for learning and social development Studies demonstrate children's improved educational .: performance when families are simply given more money. For far less money-about $100 billion-the number of children living in official poverty could be cut in half. .: Such a policy would be a humane,practical,efficient victory for a nation too willing to neglect its poor. 71 : 试题第13页（共14页） .: @学科网·学易金卷做好蕊：就限是普 VI.Translation (15') 72.对藏族人来说，洁白的哈达(khata)象征着纯洁和尊敬。(symbol)(汉译英) 73.通常情况下，在签署合同前，都会进行彻底的审查。(practice)(汉译英) 74.随着对生态旅游兴趣的不断增长，越来越多的游客前往那些重视生态保护和可持续性的旅游目的地。 (head)(汉译英) 75.仅仅一件T恤的生产过程就会消耗成吨的水，所以我们在购买快时尚品牌的服装前要三思，这样一来 我们也可以在环保事业中贡献一份自己的力量。(difference)(汉译英) VII.Guided writing (25') Directions:Write an English composition in 100-120 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你是明启中学高一学生李明。最近收到你就读于其他学校的好朋友张伟的邮件，他正在为选科的 事情纠结：究竟该理化双选还是选自己喜欢的科目？就此想征求你的意见。请回复一封邮件，谈谈你的看 法。（选修课程：optional course文科：liberal arts理科：sciences)你的邮件内容需包括： 你的建议； 你的理由。 (文中不得出现真实姓名和学校名称) 试题第14页（共14页）
