No decision __about any future appointment until all the candidates have been interviewed. A. will be made B. is made C. is being made D. has been made 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：在所有候选人面试完毕之前，不会对未来的任何任命做出决定。主语是decision和动词make是动宾关系，所以用被动式，因为后面的句子about any future appointment可以知道动作未发生，所以用将来时的被动语态。故选A。 2. Food supplies in the flood-stricken area ________. We must act immediately before there’s none left. A. are running out B. have run out C. have been run out D. are being run out 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：洪水灾区的食物供应快耗尽了。我们必须在没有食物剩下之前立即采取行动。run out作谓语，意为“耗尽”，是不及物动词短语，无被动语态，排除C、D项；根据“We must act immediately before there’s none left.”可知，食物即将耗尽，应使用现在进行时态are running out表将来。故选A项。 3. — Have you moved into the new house? — Not yet. The rooms ________. A. are painting B. are being painted C. are painted D. are being painting 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你搬进新家了吗？——还没有。房间正在被粉刷。根据答语中的“Not yet”可知，粉刷房间的动作目前正在进行，且主语the rooms与动词paint之间是被动关系，因此应用现在进行时的被动语态，其基本结构为“am/is/are being+过去分词”，主语the rooms是复数形式，be动词用are。 4. I ________ to come over to see you yesterday afternoon, but someone ________ and I couldn’t possibly get away. A. intended; had called B. had been intending; had been calling C. was intending; was calling D. had intended; called 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：我本打算昨天下午去看你的，但有人打电话来，我走不开。根据句意，第一空表示“原本计划做某事，但未做成”，用固定结构had intended to do sth.，即had intended；第二空，谓语动词call意为“打电话”，描述的是过去发生的动作，用一般过去时态called。故选D项。 5. This kind of cloth was sold out at the trade fair yesterday because it ________ soft. A. is felt B. feels C. to be felt D. has been felt 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：这种布料昨天在交易会上就卖光了，因为它摸起来很柔软。设空处使用动词作谓语，此处描述客观事实，故使用一般现在时；当描述物体本身的特性（如质地、触感）时，常用系动词‌feel‌的主动形式表示被动含义，即“布料摸起来很柔软”。故选B。 6. The manager got to the company hurriedly, only to find that he his laptop and files at home. A. left B. was leaving C. had left D. has left 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：经理匆忙赶到公司，结果却发现他把笔记本电脑和文件忘在家里了。分析句子可知got to the company用的是一般过去时，电脑和文件落家里应该是到办公室之前，所以用过去的过去，用过去完成时。故选C。 7. They ________ preparations for the conference all day yesterday and they won’t complete it until this morning. A. are making B. made C. were making D. had been making 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：他们昨天一整天都在为会议做准备，直到今天早上才会完成。根据时间状语“all day yesterday”和“they won’t complete it until this morning”可知，“做准备”这个动作在昨天一整天都在进行，没有完成，强调过去某段时间正在进行的动作，用过去进行时态were making。故选C项。 8. The mayor says that all construction work for the National Games ________ by the end of this month. A. has been completed B. has completed C. will have completed D. will have been completed 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：市长表示，全国运动会的所有建设工作将于本月底前全部完成。根据时间状语by the end of this month可知，句子应该用将来完成时；句子的主语all construction work与谓语动词complete之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态。故选D项。 9. The inter-provincial tourist train _________ at 8:00 every morning for cultural-tourism passengers. A. leaves B. left C. is leaving D. has left 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这趟跨省旅游列车每天早上8点发车，服务文旅出行旅客。根据时间状语every morning可知，此处描述按照时刻表固定、经常性、习惯性发生的动作，应使用一般现在时。主语The inter-provincial tourist train是单数名词，因此谓语动词用第三人称单数形式leaves。 10. This is the third time that I ________ Hong Kong. The second time I ________ here was at Easter last year. A. have visited; came B. have visited; have come C. visited; came D. visited; had come 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：这是我第三次访问香港。我第二次来这里是在去年的复活节。在“This is the+序数词+time that...”的结构中，that从句通常使用现在完成时，第一个空应填have visited；第二个空为从句谓语，根据时间状语从句last year可知，应用一般过去时，第二空应填came。故选A。 Analyze the sentences: 11. In the brightly lit classroom of a key high school in Shanghai, the new English teacher carefully explained the difficult grammar rules to her curious students. 12. The book that our teacher recommended last week is both inspiring and challenging. 13. The teacher explained the rule clearly, but some students still felt confused because they had missed the previous lesson. 14. If we truly want to become independent thinkers who can make wise decisions in a rapidly changing world, we must not only absorb knowledge from books but also question what we read, compare different opinions, and learn from the mistakes that we make along the way. 15. When the first rays of the morning sun fell through the windows of the classroom, the students, who had spent the whole night preparing for the presentation, stood up one after another and explained their ideas so confidently that even the strictest teacher nodded with satisfaction. 【答案】11. SVOAdv 12. SVP 13. SVO+ SVP 14. SVOAdv 15. SVOAdv 【解析】 【11题详解】 考查句子成分。句意：在上海一所重点中学灯火通明的教室里，这位新来的英语老师仔细地向充满好奇心的学生讲解难懂的语法规则。主语为the new English teacher，谓语是explained，宾语为the difficult grammar rules，to为介词，其宾语为her curious students；In the brightly lit classroom of a key high school in Shanghai作地点状语，carefully作状语，所以该句的句子类型为“主+谓+宾+状”结构。 【12题详解】 考查句子成分。句意：我们老师上周推荐的这本书既鼓舞人心又富有挑战性。主语为The book，that our teacher recommended last week是定语从句修饰主语，系动词是is，表语为both inspiring and challenging，所以该句的句子类型为“主+系+表”结构。 【13题详解】 考查句子成分。句意：老师清楚地讲解了规则，但一些学生仍然感到困惑，因为他们落下了之前的课程。这是由but连接的并列复合句；第一个分句主语为The teacher，谓语是explained，宾语为the rule，clearly作状语，句子类型为SVO；第二个分句主语为some students，系动词是felt，表语为confused；because they had missed the previous lesson为原因状语从句，从句主语they，谓语had missed，宾语the previous lesson，所以主句句子类型为 “主+谓+宾+主+系+表”。 【14题详解】 考查句子成分。句意：如果我们真想成为能在瞬息万变的世界里做出明智抉择的独立思考者，我们不仅要从书本汲取知识，还要质疑所读内容、对比不同观点，并从一路上犯下的错误中学习。If引导条件状语从句，从句主语we，谓语want，宾语to become independent thinkers；who can make wise decisions in a rapidly changing world为定语从句修饰thinkers；主句主语为we，谓语为absorb，compare和learn, absorb的宾语knowledge，question的宾语为what引导的宾语从句，宾语从句中主语为we，谓语动词为read, compare和learn构成， compare的宾语different opinions，learn from的宾语the mistakes；that we make along the way为定语从句修饰mistakes，所以该句主句的句子类型为“主+谓+宾+状”结构。 【15题详解】 考查句子成分。句意：当清晨第一缕阳光透过教室窗户洒进来时，那些通宵准备展示报告的学生们陆续起立，自信地阐述自己的想法，就连最严格的老师也满意地点了点头。When引导时间状语从句，从句主语the first rays of the morning sun，谓语fell；主句主语为the students，who had spent the whole night preparing for the presentation是定语从句修饰students；主句谓语为stood up and explained，explained的宾语their ideas；so confidently作状语，that even the strictest teacher nodded with satisfaction为结果状语从句；结果状语从句主语the strictest teacher，谓语nodded，with satisfaction作状语，所以主句句子类型为“主+谓+宾+状”结构。 Section B (10%) Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

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) Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard. “I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast. “And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!” George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse. Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast—but Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have drowned. Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him? George was very interested in old dictionaries. He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading. “Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.” 41. George and Richard were ______ at school. A. roommates B. good friends C. competitors D. booksellers 42. How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance? A. He envied Richard’s marriage. B. He thought of Richard from time to time. C. He felt lucky with no rival in town. D. He was guilty of Richard’s death. 43. George got information about Richard from ______. A. a dictionary collector in Australia B. the latter’s rivals Dylans C. a rare first edition of a dictionary D. the wrapping paper of a book 44. What happened to George and Richard in the end? A.

Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success. 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. D 44. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Richard和George竞争的故事。他们上学时就扬言要分别成为百万富翁和最好的律师，结果Richard实现了自己的梦想，George却没有。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.”（甚至在学校里，乔治和理查之间就有一种不健康的竞争。）可知，两人是竞争对手。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段的“But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手).”（ 但有时他坐在窄窄的旧厨房里，凝视着肮脏的窗户外，想着他的正式对手。）可知George有时会想起Richard，故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable!”（ 但在吃午饭的时候，乔治瞥了一眼报纸上那张包裹着书的照片。他很吃惊——那张微笑的脸比他记忆中的老，但毫无疑问!就是他。）可知，George是在包书的报纸上得到了Richard的消息。故选D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知，Richard最后成功了，而George依然开着书店，没有成为百万富翁，也没有成为有名的律师。根据倒数第三段“Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George.”（ 现在镇上只有一家书店，乔治的生意比较好）可知，George没有成为百万富翁，排除A；根据“George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!”可知，George最初是想成为最好的律师，排除B；George开书店，Richard成了百万富翁，而不是失踪，排除C。故选D。 (B) CAREERS&MANAGEMENT Many large companies now use applicant-tracking systems（ATSs）. As the name suggests, such systems help recruiters track and manage applicants. They also select the best candidates and filter out the rest. How can you make sure that your application gets past the robots and reaches a human recruiter？ Here’s what the expert, DEBORAH CAPRAS, says. Use the right format（格式） Most applications are removed because they are not formatted in way these systems can read and interpret: Amanda Augustine, career expert at Presumption, explains to CNBC Make It. Check which format is specified in the job ad before you upload your application. It’s usually Microsoft Word format. Keep it simple Avoid columns and tables, as many systems have problems recognizing where these start and end. According to Alludes, a specialist recruitment company, you should keep the structure and format simple. “Don’t get fancy”, advises Alludes on its blog. Use standard fonts（Arial or Caliban）. Excessive formatting or decorative elements might present an unreadable mess to the ATSs. Stick to traditions Use traditional categories, such as “Achievements”, “Education”, “Professional qualifications”, “Skills” and “Work experience”. These systems are programmed to sort the information into such categories. “There is no standard you have to follow,” says Nick Francis of Silencer, “but you should stick to the most popular or most frequently used ones to be safe.” he tells CNBC Make It. Understand the algorithms（算法） “ATS algorithms aren’t that different from the human algorithms,” Jon Shields, marketing manager at Jacobson, tells The Muse. “We’re all kind of skimming for the same things,” he says. The system first skims your application for specific key words, then it ranks candidates who match the job description well. This doesn’t mean you should copy and paste directly from the job description into your application. You should reuse expressions that are recognized industry terms. This is important when listing job titles, qualifications or achievements. If you’re not sure which ones to include, use an online tool to find the right words. Basically, even if you are highly qualified, unless you include the right search terms in your application, a human recruiter will never meet you. 45. Applicant-tracking systems（ATSs）are used for ________. A. formatting the uploaded applications B. collecting applicants’ data from their applications C. helping companies find qualified candidates D. promoting applicants’ career development 46. Which of the following is NOT DEBORAH CAPRAS’ advice？ A. Check the format used in your application before uploading it. B. Keep the structure and format of your application simple. C. Stick to the most popular or frequently used categories. D. Avoid using expressions that are recognized industry terms. 47. This brochure mainly talks about _______________. A. where applicants should send their applications. B. how applicants could get their applications past ATSs. C. what applicants must do in preparing for an interview. D. why ATS algorithms work in the same way as human’s. 【答案】45. C 46. D 47. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。关于求职者如何确保他们的申请通过ATSs系统的审核，文章提出了几条建议。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“As the name suggests, such systems help recruiters track and manage applicants. They also select the best candidates and filter out the rest.（顾名思义，这类系统可以帮助招聘人员跟踪和管理求职者。他们也会选出最好的候选人，然后过滤掉剩下的。）”可知，申请人跟踪系统（ATSs）是用来帮助公司从求职者中筛选出合格的候选人。故选C。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。在文章中，DEBORAH CAPRAS提出了几条建议。在Use the right format部分中提到 “Check which format is specified in the job ad before you upload your application.（在你上传你的申请之前，检查求职广告中指定的格式）”；Keep it simple部分中提到“you should keep the structure and format simple.”申请表结构和格式应该保持简单；Stick to traditions部分中提到“you should stick to the most popular or most frequently used ones”申请表应该坚持使用最流行或最常用的分类标准； DEBORAH CAPRAS没有提到“Avoid using expressions that are recognized industry terms.（避免使用公认的行业术语）”。故选D。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段提到“How can you make sure that your application gets past the robots and reaches a human recruiter？ Here’s what the expert, DEBORAH CAPRAS, says. ”关于求职者如何确保你的申请通过ATSs系统的审核，到达招聘人员的手中，专家DEBORAH CAPRAS给出了他的看法。下文每一段中分别提到了DEBORAH CAPRAS给出的一条建议，告诉申请人如何准备求职申请才能通过ATSs的审核。因此这本小册子主要是介绍求职者如何通过ATSs的审核。故选B。 (C) Identifying the chemical makeup of pigment (色素) used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolors is critical to restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life. The research team began by poring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned. However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal. The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color. Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes — it was an entirely new class of color, one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.” 48. The primary purpose of the study is to ________. A. restore and conserve ancient precious artworks B. determine the substance making up the folium C. prove the ancient dye-making technique was organic D. identify which class of color folium belongs to 49. The underlined phrase “poring over” in the second paragraph means ________. A. discussing publicly B. testing repeatedly C. passing directly D. reading carefully 50. What can be learned about the blue dye folium? A. It was essentially an inferior type of ink. B. It was the only kind made from wild berries. C. It could be carried and used easily. D. It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds. 51. The article is mainly about _________. A. how the mystery of a thousand-year-old blue dye was solved B. why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dye C. what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plant D. when and where the discovery of the dye was made 【答案】48. B 49. D 50. C 51. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要内容是关于一种成分神秘的蓝色染料，研究小组经过研究发现了这种蓝色染料的关键成分，讲述了千年蓝色染料之谜是如何解开的。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life. (然而，尽管进行了大量的努力，科学家们仍然无法确定叶绿的来源，叶绿是中世纪（5世纪至15世纪）欧洲一种流行的蓝色染料，用于给手稿上色。现在，一个来自葡萄牙的研究小组终于发现了一种神秘的成分，这种神秘的成分导致了绚丽的蓝紫色，使古老的插图和文字栩栩如生)”可知，研究的最初目的是为了确定“folium(叶绿)”的组成物质，故选B项。 【49题详解】 短语猜测题。根据划词组所在句“The research team began by poring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. (研究小组首先poring over 12、14和15世纪欧洲染料制造商编写的说明书)”以及下文“They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. (他们在15世纪的一本书中找到了他们想要的东西，这本书的题目是《如何制作所有用于书籍照明的彩色颜料》。然而，翻译说明书并非易事)”可知，研究小组先仔细地阅读了说明书，对其进行研究，所以pouring over意为“仔细阅读”。故选D项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color. (染色后晾干的亚麻布是古代储存和运输燃料的有效方法。当需要的时候，艺术家会简单地剪下一块布，用水蘸一下，挤出蓝色)”可知，blue dye folium(蓝色染料)便于携带和使用。故选C项。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.

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. What Your “Age” Says About You Imagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are? Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. ___52___ Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old—while others fade. ___53___ It is now well accepted that people tend to mature as they get older, becoming less extroverted and less open to new experiences. These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages. However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience. But it doesn’t come at the cost of the energy and vigor of youth. It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us frozen in a state of permanent immaturity. Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. ___54___ Most people felt about eight years younger than their actual chronological age (实际年龄). But some felt they had aged — and the consequences were serious. Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden—even when you control for other demographic (人口学的) factors such as education, race or marital status. ___55___ However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within. A. It also means better physical health. B. One of the most interesting aspects of the research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality. C. Some studies have explored the potential physical consequences of this difference. D. These findings can give us all a view of the way our own brains and bodies endure the passing of time. E. But everyday experience suggests that people often don’t experience ageing the same way. F. Many researchers are now trying to study how this knowledge might help us live longer. 【答案】52. E 53. B 54. A 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了主观年龄（即人们感觉自己的年龄）及其对个人健康和福祉的影响。文章强调，无论实际年龄如何，我们都可以通过调整主观年龄观来提升生活质量。 【52题详解】 上文提到“Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. (像身高或鞋码一样，自你第一次进入这个世界以来经过的年数是一个不可改变的事实)”，这引出了关于年龄的一个观点，即我们的年龄感受是基于内心的感受。而下文则进一步探讨了科学家们对这个品质的兴趣，以及主观年龄与个性之间的关系。因此，E选项“But everyday experience suggests that people often don’t experience ageing the same way.(但日常经验表明，人们往往不会以同样的方式经历衰老)”作为过渡句，既承接了上文关于年龄感受的观点，又为下文的讨论奠定了基础，符合题意。故选E。 【53题详解】 下文提到“ It is now well accepted that people tend to mature as they get older, becoming less extroverted and less open to new experiences. (现在人们普遍认为，随着年龄的增长，人们会逐渐成熟，变得不那么外向，对新经历的开放程度也会降低)”，这是在描述一个普遍的观点或现象。而B选项“One of the most interesting aspects of the research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality.(研究中最有趣的一个方面探讨了主观年龄如何与我们的个性相互作用)”则直接引出了这个话题，因此B选项作为主题句，既概括了下文的内容，又引领了上文的话题，符合题意。故选B。 【54题详解】 上文提到“Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. (感觉比实际年龄年轻似乎还伴随着较低的抑郁风险和更大的心理健康)”，这是在描述一种积极的影响或结果。而A选项“It also means better physical health.(这也意味着更好的身体健康)”则是对上文积极影响的进一步延伸或补充，it指代前文的“感觉比实际年龄年轻”这个事实。故选A。 【55题详解】 前文提到“Most people felt about eight years younger than their actual chronological age (实际年龄). But some felt they had aged—and the consequences were serious. Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden—even when you control for other demographic (人口学的) factors such as education, race or marital status.( 大多数人感觉比他们实际的年龄年轻约八岁。但有些人却感到自己变老了——后果非常严重。感觉比实际年龄大8到13岁的人，在研究期间死亡风险增加了18%至25%，患病负担也更重，即使控制了其他人口学因素（如教育程度、种族或婚姻状况）也是如此。)”，这是在列举了一些研究结果，最后指出这些发现具有重要意义。而D选项“These findings can give us all a view of the way our own brains and bodies endure the passing of time.(这些发现可以让我们更好地了解我们自己的大脑和身体是如何随着时间的推移而衰老的)” 是对整段研究结果的总结性评价，既呼应了前文的研究成果，也引出了其深层意义。故选D。 第II卷（共10分） IV.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Travelling, at least travelling any considerable distance, means dealing with airports. I've seen my share of airports. They come in several ___26___. The smallest I have been through was in the African town of Hoedspruit where the main waiting area was smaller than many school classrooms, security and ticket checking were both ___27___ by one person who was also controlling the gate onto the airfield and you had to walk out to the plane and climb the stairs to get in. It was even smaller than Canada's Moncton airport where the person taking the tickets was also one of the two ___28___ on our flight.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard. “I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast. “And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!” George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse. Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast—but Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have drowned. Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him? George was very interested in old dictionaries. He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading. “Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.” 41. George and Richard were ______ at school. A. roommates B. good friends C. competitors D. booksellers 42. How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance? A. He envied Richard’s marriage. B. He thought of Richard from time to time.

Both George and Richard became millionaires. B. Both of them realized their original ambitions. C. George established a successful business while Richard was missing. D. Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success. (B) CAREERS&MANAGEMENT Many large companies now use applicant-tracking systems（ATSs）. As the name suggests, such systems help recruiters track and manage applicants. They also select the best candidates and filter out the rest. How can you make sure that your application gets past the robots and reaches a human recruiter？ Here’s what the expert, DEBORAH CAPRAS, says. Use the right format（格式） Most applications are removed because they are not formatted in way these systems can read and interpret: Amanda Augustine, career expert at Presumption, explains to CNBC Make It. Check which format is specified in the job ad before you upload your application. It’s usually Microsoft Word format. Keep it simple Avoid columns and tables, as many systems have problems recognizing where these start and end. According to Alludes, a specialist recruitment company, you should keep the structure and format simple. “Don’t get fancy”, advises Alludes on its blog. Use standard fonts（Arial or Caliban）. Excessive formatting or decorative elements might present an unreadable mess to the ATSs. Stick to traditions Use traditional categories, such as “Achievements”, “Education”, “Professional qualifications”, “Skills” and “Work experience”. These systems are programmed to sort the information into such categories. “There is no standard you have to follow,” says Nick Francis of Silencer, “but you should stick to the most popular or most frequently used ones to be safe.” he tells CNBC Make It. Understand the algorithms（算法） “ATS algorithms aren’t that different from the human algorithms,” Jon Shields, marketing manager at Jacobson, tells The Muse. “We’re all kind of skimming for the same things,” he says. The system first skims your application for specific key words, then it ranks candidates who match the job description well. This doesn’t mean you should copy and paste directly from the job description into your application. You should reuse expressions that are recognized industry terms. This is important when listing job titles, qualifications or achievements. If you’re not sure which ones to include, use an online tool to find the right words. Basically, even if you are highly qualified, unless you include the right search terms in your application, a human recruiter will never meet you. 45. Applicant-tracking systems（ATSs）are used for ________. A. formatting the uploaded applications B. collecting applicants’ data from their applications C. helping companies find qualified candidates D. promoting applicants’ career development 46. Which of the following is NOT DEBORAH CAPRAS’ advice？ A. Check the format used in your application before uploading it. B. Keep the structure and format of your application simple. C. Stick to the most popular or frequently used categories. D. Avoid using expressions that are recognized industry terms. 47. This brochure mainly talks about _______________. A. where applicants should send their applications. B. how applicants could get their applications past ATSs. C. what applicants must do in preparing for an interview. D. why ATS algorithms work in the same way as human’s. (C) Identifying the chemical makeup of pigment (色素) used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolors is critical to restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life. The research team began by poring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15th centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned. However, by piecing together suggestions from the text, the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal. The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen (亚麻).” The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment, producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color. Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes — it was an entirely new class of color, one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.” 48. The primary purpose of the study is to ________. A. restore and conserve ancient precious artworks B. determine the substance making up the folium C. prove the ancient dye-making technique was organic D. identify which class of color folium belongs to 49. The underlined phrase “poring over” in the second paragraph means ________. A. discussing publicly B. testing repeatedly C. passing directly D. reading carefully 50. What can be learned about the blue dye folium? A. It was essentially an inferior type of ink. B. It was the only kind made from wild berries. C. It could be carried and used easily. D. It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds. 51. The article is mainly about _________. A. how the mystery of a thousand-year-old blue dye was solved B. why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dye C. what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plant D. when and where the discovery of the dye was made Section C (8%) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. What Your “Age” Says About You Imagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are? Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. ___52___ Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old—while others fade. ___53___ It is now well accepted that people tend to mature as they get older, becoming less extroverted and less open to new experiences. These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages. However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience. But it doesn’t come at the cost of the energy and vigor of youth. It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us frozen in a state of permanent immaturity. Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. ___54___ Most people felt about eight years younger than their actual chronological age (实际年龄). But some felt they had aged — and the consequences were serious. Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden—even when you control for other demographic (人口学的) factors such as education, race or marital status. ___55___ However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within. A. It also means better physical health. B. One of the most interesting aspects of the research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality. C. Some studies have explored the potential physical consequences of this difference. D. These findings can give us all a view of the way our own brains and bodies endure the passing of time. E. But everyday experience suggests that people often don’t experience ageing the same way. F. Many researchers are now trying to study how this knowledge might help us live longer. 第II卷（共10分） IV.
