A. whether; which B. what; which C. why; that D. /; that 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多分析人士怀疑，这家社交媒体巨头在幕后为获取用户私人数据所做的一切仅仅是初步尝试，这也是我打算永久注销个人账户的原因。分析句子结构可知，第一空考查主语从句引导词，在从句“________ the social-media giant has done”中，done缺少宾语，表示“……的事情”，要用what引导；第二空考查非限制性定语从句，指代前面整件事情，用which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。 8. Burdened with overwhelming administrative and teaching assignments, the vice-principal put forward a suggestion at the weekly meeting ________ he ________ an extra assistant to distribute part of his heavy workload. A. whether; hires B. what; hired C. that; hire D. that; hires 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：由于承担着繁重的行政和教学任务，副校长在周会上提出了一个建议，即他雇佣一名额外的助手来分担他部分繁重的工作量。第一空引导同位语从句，用于解释说明名词suggestion的具体内容，从句主谓宾结构和语义均完整，因此应用无实际意义的连词that引导；第二空，“suggestion (建议)”后的同位语从句需使用虚拟语气，其谓语动词结构为“should+动词原形”，其中should可以省略，故使用动词原形hire。 9. This newly-released AI-powered translation engine is capable of generating context-aware accurate renderings, ________ you input fragmented phrases manually or import multi-page formal documents. A. if B. whether C. unless D. since 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这款新发布的人工智能翻译引擎能够生成上下文感知的精准翻译，无论你是手动输入零碎短语还是导入多页正式文件。A. if如果；B. whether是否，无论……还是；C. unless除非；D. since自从，既然。由语意可知，此处表示“无论……还是……”，构成“whether...or...”固定搭配，表示两种情况都适用，说明该翻译引擎在两种输入方式下都能生成精准翻译。 10. — It slipped my mind that I should have informed Tom of the university admission lecture last Wednesday. — What a terrible miss!

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passages 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. (A) Directions Matter Jet lag may be the worst part of travelling, and it hits many people harder travelling east than west. Why they feel this way is ____31____, but scientists recently developed a new model that provides an explanation for the mystery and insights on recovering from jet lag. The model imitates the way neuronal oscillator cells (神经振子细胞) ____32____ crossing time zones. These cells in our brains ____33____ our biological clocks. However, the cells don’t quite operate on a perfect 24-hour schedule. Instead, their activity follows a ____34____ that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours. According to Michelle Girvan, an associate professor of physics at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study, that means it’s ____35____ for us to extend the length of a day — for example, by flying west across time zones — than to shorten the day, by flying east. The scientists found that for ____36____ travel, a person who crossed three time zones would fully ____37____in a little less than four days. For six time zones, recovery would take about six days. For nine time zones, the recovery would take just less than eight days. However, when a person travels eastward, the recovery time doesn’t match up as ____38____. When a person crosses three time zones going east, it takes a little more than four days to recover. For six time zones, the recovery time ____39____ to more than eight days. And for nine time zones, the recovery period is more than 12 days. Girvan noted that not everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours. ____40____, it varies from person to person. The other factor to consider is ____41____ cues such as sunlight, Girvan added. How a person reacts to these cues can also ____42____ how quickly he or she will adjust to a new time zone. The scientists hope that their new model can be used in the future to figure out the best ways to ____43____jet lag. For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward, start by setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you arrive in a new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to ____44____ the new time zone. That means that if it’s daytime in the new time zone, expose yourself to sunlight. And if it’s nighttime, avoid artificial ____45____, including those from smartphones and computers, to help your biological clock adjust. 31. A. incredible B. unclear C. surprising D. apparent 32. A. interact with B. account for C. respond to D. result in 33. A. regulate B. watch C. stop D. kick 34. A. pattern B. routine C. process D. cycle 35.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了科学家开发的一种新模型，用以解释为什么向东飞行比向西飞行更容易导致时差反应，并提供了调整时差的建议。 【31题详解】 考查形容词。句意：为什么他们会有这种感觉尚不清楚，但科学家最近开发了一种新模型，为这个谜团提供了解释，并提供了从时差中恢复的见解。A. incredible难以置信的；B. unclear不清楚的；C. surprising令人惊讶的；D. apparent明显的。根据后文“scientists recently developed a new model that provides an explanation for the mystery”可知，科学家开发新模型来解释这个谜团，说明之前人们对此是不清楚的。 【32题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：该模型模拟了神经振子细胞对跨越时区的反应方式。A. interact with与……互动；B. account for解释；C. respond to对……作出反应；D. result in导致。根据后文“These cells in our brains ____ our biological clocks.”可知，神经振子细胞调控生物钟，它们需要对跨越时区作出反应。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：我们大脑中的这些细胞调节我们的生物钟。A. regulate调节；B. watch观看；C. stop停止；D. kick踢。根据常识及后文“their activity follows a ____ that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours”可知，这些细胞的功能是调控生物钟的运转。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：相反，它们的活动遵循一个略长于24小时的周期，大约24.5小时。A. pattern模式；B. routine日常；C. process过程；D. cycle周期。根据后文“that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours”可知，这里描述的是细胞活动的周期性循环。 【35题详解】 考查形容词。句意：据马里兰大学物理学副教授、该研究的合著者米歇尔·吉尔万表示，这意味着对我们来说，延长一天的长度——例如，向西飞越时区——比缩短一天的长度，即向东飞行，更容易。A. easier更容易的；B. safer更安全的；C. more dangerous更危险的；D. more difficult更困难的。根据后文“by flying west across time zones — than to shorten the day, by flying east”及下文数据对比可知，向西飞延长一天比向东飞缩短一天更容易，这也解释了为什么向东飞更难受。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：科学家发现，对于向西旅行，一个跨越三个时区的人将在不到四天内完全调整过来。A. eastward向东的；B. southward向南的；C. northward向北的；D. westward向西的。根据前文“it’s ____ for us to extend the length of a day — for example, by flying west across time zones”及后文“a person who crossed three time zones would fully ____ in a little less than four days”可知，这里描述的是向西旅行的恢复时间。 【37题详解】 考查动词。句意：科学家发现，对于向西旅行，一个跨越三个时区的人将在不到四天内完全调整过来。A. prepare准备；B. understand理解；C. adjust调整；D. change改变。根据后文“For six time zones, recovery would take about six days. For nine time zones, the recovery would take just less than eight days.”可知，此处指身体调整适应新时区。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，当一个人向东旅行时，恢复时间就没有那么好地匹配了。A. nicely好地；B. relatively相对地；C. classically经典地；D. awkwardly笨拙地。根据第三段“For six time zones, recovery would take about six days.”以及下文“When a person crosses three time zones going east, it takes a little more than four days to recover.”可知，向东旅行的恢复时间没有像向西那样有规律，即不能很好地匹配规律。 【39题详解】 考查动词。句意：对于六个时区，恢复时间跃升至八天以上。A. reduces减少；B. jumps跳跃，骤升；C. contributes贡献；D. leads导致。根据前文向西飞六个时区约六天，而向东飞“more than eight days”可知，恢复时间大幅增加，用jumps表示骤然上升。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：相反，它因人而异。A. Rather相反，而是；B. Otherwise否则；C. However然而；D. Moreover此外。根据前文“not everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours”可知，不是每个人都恰好24.5小时，而是因人而异，Rather在此表示“而是，恰恰相反”。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：另一个需要考虑的因素是外部线索，如阳光。A. social社会的；B. verbal口头的；C. external外部的；D. chemical化学的。根据后文“cues such as sunlight”可知，阳光属于外部环境因素。 【42题详解】 考查动词。句意：一个人对这些线索的反应也会影响他或她适应新时区的速度。A. promote促进；B. emphasize强调；C. orient定向；D. impact影响。根据前文“The other factor to consider is ____ cues such as sunlight, Girvan added.”可知，人对外界线索的反应会影响调整时差的速度。 【43题详解】 考查动词。句意：科学家们希望他们的新模型将来能用于找出克服时差的最佳方法。A. form形成；B. endure忍受；C. shelter庇护；D. beat打败，克服。根据后文“For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward, start by setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you arrive in a new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to ____ the new time zone.”的具体建议可知，科学家希望找到克服时差的方法，beat jet lag意为“克服时差”。 【44题详解】 考查动词。句意：当你到达一个新的时区时，确保你所接触的外部线索与新时区相匹配。A. specify具体说明；B. match匹配；C. shift转移；D. destroy破坏。根据后文“That means that if it’s daytime in the new time zone, expose yourself to sunlight.”可知，需要让外部线索与新时区保持一致。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：如果是夜晚，避免人工光线，包括来自智能手机和电脑的光线，以帮助你的生物钟进行调整。A. sights景象；B. barriers障碍；C. lights光线；D. sounds声音。根据后文“including those from smartphones and computers”可知，手机和电脑发出的是人工光线。 (B) Next week, as millions of families gather for their Thanksgiving feasts (大餐), many other Americans will go without. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, more than 12 million households ____46____ enough food for everyone in their family at some time during the year — including ____47____. Hunger is surprisingly widespread in our country — one of the world’s wealthiest — yet the government estimates that we waste almost 100 billion pounds of food each year, more than one-quarter of our total supply. Reducing this improper distribution of ____48____ is a goal of America’s Second Harvest, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Last year, it ____49____ nearly 2 billion pounds of food to more than 23 million people in need. America’s Second Harvest is a network of 214 inter-connected food banks and other organizations that ____50____ food from growers, processors, grocery stores and restaurants. ____51____, the network distributes food to some 50,000 soup kitchens (施食处), homeless ____52____ and old people’s centers in every county of every state. A great deal of work is involved in distributing tons of food from thousands of ____53____ to thousands of small, non-profit organizations. Until a few years ago, America’s Second Harvest lacked any ____54____ way to manage their inventory (存货). Without accurate and timely information, soup kitchens were sometimes empty while food was left to _____55_____ in loading places. In 2000, America’s Second Harvest began to use a new inventory and financial-management system — Ceres. It is a _____56_____ designed specifically for hunger-relief operations. It is used by more than 100 America’s Second Harvest organizations to _____57_____ food from donation to distribution. Ceres has helped _____58_____ the spoiling of food and improve distribution. An evaluation found that the software streamlined (精简) food banks’ operations by 23 percent in the first year alone. With more accurate and timely reports, Ceres saves time, frees staff members to focus on finding new donors, and _____59_____ more efficient use of donations. Hunger in America remains a(n) _____60_____ social problem. Technology alone cannot solve it. But in the hands of organizations such as America’s Second Harvest, it is a powerful tool that is helping to make a difference — and helping more Americans to join in the feast. 46.

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) I was a graduate student in Manhattan having breakfast on my rooftop on Sept. 11, 2001, when I witnessed planes hit the Twin Towers. For months afterwards, I shook with anxiety every morning. Unwilling to medicate, I tried everything else. Mindfulness meditation (冥想) caused panic attacks. Hot yoga built muscle but did nothing for my anxiety. I went to talks by Buddhist monks and meditation teachers hoping to attain inner peace, but in vain. Finally, I attended a SKY Breath Meditation class, which involves a 20-minute breathing regimen (养生之道) in different postures and rhythms. Though I went in skeptical,I came out calm. Two decades later,I never missed a day of my breathing practice, not even when I gave birth. I’ve also devoted part of my research career to studying the benefits of breathing for mental health and well-being. Seven years after 9/11, I was working with veterans returning from war with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Traditional treatments had failed many of them, so my colleagues and I ran a randomized controlled trial to test the effects of SKY breathing. Compared with the control group, veterans practicing SKY every day for one week saw their anxiety drop to levels typical of the general population. Even though most did not continue to practice, they maintained the benefits a year later. Emotions influence your breathing patterns, and changing your breathing can change your emotions. For example, anxiety and anger correspond to an irregular, short, fast breath. Adopting the slower and more regular breathing pattern that corresponds to a calm feeling signals relaxation by activating the vagus nerve (交感神经), slowing heart rate, easing blood pressure, and settling you down. A simple exercise you can try is to close your eyes and breathe out for twice as long as you breathe in. Do this for five minutes in the morning, before a stressful meeting or as you transit from work to home. 61. Why did the author attend the SKY Breath Meditation class? A. To build up muscles. B. To relieve inner anxiety. C. To learn more about meditation. D. To quest for religious belief. 62. How did the author test the effects of SKY breathing? A. She worked with healthy veterans returning from war. B. She chose victims suffering PTSD in the 9/11 incident. C. She divided the veterans into two groups and compared results. D. She cooperated with researchers from mindfulness meditation classes. 63. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Breathing interacts with emotions. B. It is harmful to activate the vagus nerve. C. Breathing out as long as you breathe in is a simple way to follow. D. Breathing regimen should be carried out for five minutes every morning. 64. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. PTSD: more awareness needed B. SKY: better well-being attained C. Meditation: an effective treatment D. Breath: detailed ways to conduct 【答案】61. B 62. C 63. A 64. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在亲眼目睹911事件后，患上了创伤后应激障碍，后来通过SKY疗法得到了治愈。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For months afterwards, I shook with anxiety every morning. Unwilling to medicate, I tried everything else. Mindfulness meditation (冥想) caused panic attacks. Hot yoga built muscle but did nothing for my anxiety. I went to talks by Buddhist monks and meditation teachers hoping to attain inner peace, but in vain. Finally, I attended a SKY Breath Meditation class, which involves a 20-minute breathing regimen (养生之道) in different postures and rhythms.(在那之后的几个月里，我每天早上都焦虑得发抖。我不愿意吃药，于是尝试了所有其他方法。正念冥想会引起恐慌。高温瑜伽可以锻炼肌肉，但对我的焦虑没有任何帮助。我去听了佛教僧侣和冥想老师的讲座，希望获得内心的平静，但徒劳无功。最后，我参加了一个SKY呼吸冥想课程，包括20分钟的不同姿势和节奏的呼吸养生之道)”可知，作者参加SKY是为了缓解自己的焦虑。故选B。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Traditional treatments had failed many of them, so my colleagues and I ran a randomized controlled trial to test the effects of SKY breathing. Compared with the control group, veterans practicing SKY every day for one week saw their anxiety drop to levels typical of the general population.(传统的治疗方法失败了很多，所以我和我的同事进行了一个随机对照试验来测试SKY呼吸的效果。与对照组相比，在一周内每天练习SKY的退伍军人的焦虑水平下降到一般人群的典型水平)”可推知，作者将退伍军人分成两组，其中一组每天练习SKY，最后比对结果从而得出结论。故选C。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Emotions influence your breathing patterns, and changing your breathing can change your emotions.(情绪会影响你的呼吸模式，改变呼吸也会改变你的情绪)”可知，情绪和呼吸息息相关，互相影响。故选A。 【64题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Finally, I attended a SKY Breath Meditation class, which involves a 20-minute breathing regimen (养生之道) in different postures and rhythms. Though I went in skeptical, I came out calm. Two decades later, I never missed a day of my breathing practice, not even when I gave birth.(最后，我参加了一个SKY呼吸冥想课程，包括20分钟的不同姿势和节奏的呼吸养生之道。虽然我满怀怀疑地进去了，但出来时却很平静。二十年后，我从未错过一天的呼吸练习，甚至在我生孩子的时候。)”以及第二段“Traditional treatments had failed many of them, so my colleagues and I ran a randomized controlled trial to test the effects of SKY breathing. Compared with the control group, veterans practicing SKY every day for one week saw their anxiety drop to levels typical of the general population.(传统的治疗方法失败了很多，所以我和我的同事进行了一个随机对照试验来测试SKY呼吸的效果。与对照组相比，在一周内每天练习SKY的退伍军人的焦虑水平下降到一般人群的典型水平)”可知，文章主要讲述了SKY疗法可以使人不那么焦虑，获得幸福。故选B。 (B) For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply, but we’ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now — a dog translator called body harness has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend. HOW IT WORKS ● The platform itself is a harness that fits comfortably onto the dog, and which is equipped with a variety of technologies. ● Wireless sensors can determine when they’re sitting, standing, running, etc, even when they’re out of sight. ● The team developed software to collect, interpret and communicate those data, and to translate human requests into signals on the harness through speakers and vibrating motors. WHAT’S FOR ✧ The harness could be used to train pets, guide dogs and other working animals. ✧ Sensors on the harness monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature. ✧ The sensor-packed harness can sense the animal’s movement, and the sounds it makes, letting the owner know how they feel. ✧ Speakers and vibrating pads in the harness also allow owners to “talk back” to their animals. ✧ The harness is also intended for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work. 65. The word “comply” in the first paragraph probably means “________”. A. shout B. obey C. disappear D. attack 66. Which of the following is NOT the intention of the harness? A. To create a better communication between dogs and humans. B. To enable the dogs to do demanding jobs. C. To transfer human thoughts to the dogs by means of technology. D. To monitor dog’s communicative behaviours. 67. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage? A. New platform: for better performances of dogs. B. Harness: a two-way communication device. C. Dog care: a completely new way possible. D. Technology: toward healthier life of dogs. 【答案】65. B 66. D 67. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种器具，它使得主人和狗的双向交流成为了可能。 【65题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply, but we’ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers.(我们可以告诉狗狗我们想让它们做什么，有时它们会comply，但当要理解它们吠叫和呜咽的真正含义时，我们一直很难做到)”可知，狗狗会服从主人的命令，comply含义为“服从、听从”。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据WHAT’S FOR下列第三条“The sensor-packed harness can sense the animal’s movement, and the sounds it makes, letting the owner know how they feel.(这款配备传感器的背带能够感知动物的动作和发出的声音，让主人了解它们的感受)”可知，这一器具可以帮助主人了解狗狗的感受，即：让狗和人更好地交流，A选项正确。根据WHAT’S FOR下列最后一条“The harness is also intended for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work.(该背带也适用于参与搜救及其他一线工作的犬只)”可知，这一器具可以使狗能做高要求的工作，B选项正确。根据WHAT’S FOR下列第四条“Speakers and vibrating pads in the harness also allow owners to “talk back” to their animals.(背带中的扬声器和振动垫还允许主人与宠物“对话”)”可知，这一器具也能让主人和他们的动物“对话”，C选项正确。原文未提及该背带的设计意图包含监测狗的交流行为，因此D不属于背带的设计意图。 【67题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“There is exciting news now — a dog translator called body harness has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend. (现在有个振奋人心的消息——一款名为身体背带的狗狗翻译器被发明出来，帮助你和毛茸茸的伙伴交流)”以及全文介绍它可以双向交流。B选项“背带：一种双向交流设备”符合文章主旨。 (C) “Anita Bhagwandas is really ugly.” This was a comment that had been left on an online forum 10 years ago in reaction to a picture of me alongside my colleagues. “Trolls will be trolls,“ friends comforted me when I told them about it. They told me that I should forget all about those words. But I couldn’t let “ugly” go. I’ve had a complex relationship with that word my whole life. Growing up in Wales during the 1990s and 2000s as a plus-sized, dark-skinned Indian girl, I wanted to look like anyone other than myself. This discomfort followed me from my teens all the way up to my university and adult life--an imaginary friend was always there to remind me of my lowly place in the world. Overtime, it developed into an obsession with thinness and all that it promised: prettiness, acceptance, success. I, like many others, have been on and off some type of diet throughout my life. It feels like a never-ending game of chess, using protein bars and fried chicken as pieces. To say that trying to navigate this internal concept of “ugly” shaped my life would be an understatement. It affected everything, including my career: I became a beauty editor. I was driven by the knowledge that the industry needed to be more inclusive. Working on the inside of the beauty industry, I started to notice some changes. Around 2010, social media gave people a voice and more control over what magazines and brands were creating for them. Now, consumers were increasingly being told to “love the skin you’re in” or to feel like you’re “worth it.” I finally found some comfort--but it wasn’t because of the popular slogan “love yourself as you are.” That never worked for me because it didn’t go deep enough. But when I started to read about how beauty standards were created, who created them and who was holding the puppet strings that are making so many of us feel ugly, things started to gradually change. I developed some self-protective methods to counter the wrongness of the beauty standards I’d been sold my entire life. Today, I still buy beauty products, but I do so because I love their smells, their designs and their textures, so purchasing beauty products has become much of a pleasurable experience for me. It makes a big difference to your mindset when you are using beauty products for joy, rather than to look prettier, thinner and younger. Am I fixed? Do I walk around giving myself high fives in wing mirrors and windows? No. But I do feel so much more at peace with my appearance. I’ve come to learn how important it is for me to root my self-worth in the qualities that really define me--my character and positive traits. Once I had done so, I started to realize that ugly is an ever-changing concept--and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is never to trust those binary(二元对立的)categories. “Pretty” and “ugly” don’t actually exist. 68. When the author was called ugly by strangers online, she________. A. just laughed it off B. was really astonished about it C. tried to pay no attention to it D. felt as uncomfortable as she had as a child 69. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 imply? A. The author’s diet is unhealthy and unbalanced. B. The author has been following a very strict diet plan. C. The author finds it beyond her intelligence to make herself a diet plan. D. The author has long battled between eating fattening foods and struggling to lose weight. 70. We can learn from the article that the author became a beauty editor because________. A. she wanted to fulfill her childhood dream B. she aspired to broaden the public perception C. she wished to explore the true standards of beauty herself D. she hoped to prove herself to those who looked down upon her 71. The author’s perception of herself improved significantly________. A. after having worked in the beauty industry B. when she learnt about the secrets behind beauty standards C. when she defined her self-worth based on her good qualities D. after having been inspired by the slogan “love yourself as you are.” 【答案】68. D 69. D 70. B 71. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者Anita Bhagwandas分享了她从小到大因外貌而产生的自卑感，以及她是如何逐渐克服这种感觉，学会接受并爱自己本来的样子的过程。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I’ve had a complex relationship with that word my whole life. Growing up in Wales during the 1990s and 2000s as a plus-sized, dark-skinned Indian girl, I wanted to look like anyone other than myself.( 我对那个词有着复杂的情感。在20世纪90年代和21世纪初，我成长于威尔士，作为一个体型偏大、肤色较深的印度女孩，我希望自己的外貌能与现在的自己完全不同)”以及“But I couldn’t let “ugly” go(但我无法摆脱“丑陋”这个词)”可知，作者小时候就对自己的外貌不满意，被人说丑后，她感觉就像小时候一样不舒服。故选D项。 【69题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中“Overtime, it developed into an obsession with thinness and all that it promised: prettiness, acceptance, success. I, like many others, have been on and off some type of diet throughout my life (随着时间的推移，这已经演变成了一种对苗条身材的痴迷，以及它所承诺的一切：美丽、接受和成功。我像许多人一样，一生中断断续续地尝试过各种减肥方法)”可知作者痴迷苗条身材以及它所承诺的一切：美丽、接受和成功，像许多人一样，一生中断断续续地尝试过各种减肥方法，可推理出作者一直在吃增肥食物和努力减肥之间挣扎。故选 D 项。 【70题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I became a beauty editor. I was driven by the knowledge that the industry needed to be more inclusive(我成为了一名美容编辑。我之所以这样做，是因为我知道这个行业需要更多的包容性)”可知作者成为了一名美容编辑是因为作者知道这个行业需要更多的包容性，可推理出作者成为美容编辑是因为她渴望拓宽公众对美的认知，使美容行业更加包容。故选 B 项。 【71题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I’ve come to learn how important it is for me to root my self-worth in the qualities that really define me—my character and positive traits. Once I had done so, I started to realize that ugly is an ever-changing concept—and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is never to trust those binary (二元对立的) categories(我了解到，将自我价值建立在真正定义我的特质上——我的性格和积极特质是多么重要。一旦我做到了这一点，我开始意识到“丑陋”是一个不断变化的概念——我学到的最重要的一课是永远不要相信那些二元对立的分类)” 可知，当作者根据自己的良好品质来定义自我价值时，她对自己的认知有了显著提高。故选 C 项。 Section C Directions: Read the following 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. Your Next Nurse Could Be a Robot Dr. De Momi, of the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), led an international team that trained a robot to imitate natural human actions. _____72_____ Over time this should lead to improvements in safety during surgeries because unlike their human counterparts robots do not tire and can complete an endless series of precise movements. The goal is not to remove human skill from the operating room, but to complement it with a robot’s particular skills and benefits. “As a roboticist, I am convinced that robotic (co)workers and collaborators will definitely change the work market, but they won’t steal job opportunities. _____73_____” De Momi explains. To conduct their experiment De Momi’s team photographed a human being conducting numerous reaching motions, in a way similar to handing instruments to a surgeon. These camera captures were input into the neural network of the robotic arm, which is crucial to controlling movements. Next a human operator guided the robotic arm in imitating the reaching motions that the human subject had initially performed. Although there was not a perfect overlap between the robotic and human actions, they were broadly similar. _____74_____ These observers determined whether the actions of the robotic arms were “biologically inspired,” which would indicate that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behavior. About 70% of the time this is exactly what the human observers concluded. These results are promising, although further research is necessary to confirm or refine De Momi’s conclusions. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behavior, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can cooperate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms. _____75_____ De Momi’s work is part of the growing field of healthcare robotics, which has the potential to change the way we receive health care sooner rather than later. A. This future may not be as far away as we think. B. Robots can’t successfully imitate doctors’ motions in the operating room. C. Finally, several humans observed as the robotic arm made numerous motions. D. The nursing assistant for your next trip to the hospital will still be a robot instead of human beings. E. They will just allow us to decrease workload and achieve better performances in several tasks. F. His work indicates that humans and robots can effectively cooperate during high-risk events such as surgeries. 【答案】72. F 73. E 74. C 75.

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passages 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. (A) Directions Matter Jet lag may be the worst part of travelling, and it hits many people harder travelling east than west. Why they feel this way is ____31____, but scientists recently developed a new model that provides an explanation for the mystery and insights on recovering from jet lag. The model imitates the way neuronal oscillator cells (神经振子细胞) ____32____ crossing time zones. These cells in our brains ____33____ our biological clocks. However, the cells don’t quite operate on a perfect 24-hour schedule. Instead, their activity follows a ____34____ that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours. According to Michelle Girvan, an associate professor of physics at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study, that means it’s ____35____ for us to extend the length of a day — for example, by flying west across time zones — than to shorten the day, by flying east. The scientists found that for ____36____ travel, a person who crossed three time zones would fully ____37____in a little less than four days. For six time zones, recovery would take about six days. For nine time zones, the recovery would take just less than eight days. However, when a person travels eastward, the recovery time doesn’t match up as ____38____. When a person crosses three time zones going east, it takes a little more than four days to recover. For six time zones, the recovery time ____39____ to more than eight days. And for nine time zones, the recovery period is more than 12 days. Girvan noted that not everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours. ____40____, it varies from person to person. The other factor to consider is ____41____ cues such as sunlight, Girvan added. How a person reacts to these cues can also ____42____ how quickly he or she will adjust to a new time zone. The scientists hope that their new model can be used in the future to figure out the best ways to ____43____jet lag. For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward, start by setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you arrive in a new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to ____44____ the new time zone. That means that if it’s daytime in the new time zone, expose yourself to sunlight. And if it’s nighttime, avoid artificial ____45____, including those from smartphones and computers, to help your biological clock adjust. 31. A. incredible B. unclear C. surprising D. apparent 32.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, more than 12 million households ____46____ enough food for everyone in their family at some time during the year — including ____47____. Hunger is surprisingly widespread in our country — one of the world’s wealthiest — yet the government estimates that we waste almost 100 billion pounds of food each year, more than one-quarter of our total supply. Reducing this improper distribution of ____48____ is a goal of America’s Second Harvest, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. Last year, it ____49____ nearly 2 billion pounds of food to more than 23 million people in need. America’s Second Harvest is a network of 214 inter-connected food banks and other organizations that ____50____ food from growers, processors, grocery stores and restaurants. ____51____, the network distributes food to some 50,000 soup kitchens (施食处), homeless ____52____ and old people’s centers in every county of every state. A great deal of work is involved in distributing tons of food from thousands of ____53____ to thousands of small, non-profit organizations. Until a few years ago, America’s Second Harvest lacked any ____54____ way to manage their inventory (存货). Without accurate and timely information, soup kitchens were sometimes empty while food was left to _____55_____ in loading places. In 2000, America’s Second Harvest began to use a new inventory and financial-management system — Ceres. It is a _____56_____ designed specifically for hunger-relief operations. It is used by more than 100 America’s Second Harvest organizations to _____57_____ food from donation to distribution. Ceres has helped _____58_____ the spoiling of food and improve distribution. An evaluation found that the software streamlined (精简) food banks’ operations by 23 percent in the first year alone. With more accurate and timely reports, Ceres saves time, frees staff members to focus on finding new donors, and _____59_____ more efficient use of donations. Hunger in America remains a(n) _____60_____ social problem. Technology alone cannot solve it. But in the hands of organizations such as America’s Second Harvest, it is a powerful tool that is helping to make a difference — and helping more Americans to join in the feast. 46.

A. troubling B. demanding C. touching D. imposing Section B Directions: Read the following 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) I was a graduate student in Manhattan having breakfast on my rooftop on Sept. 11, 2001, when I witnessed planes hit the Twin Towers. For months afterwards, I shook with anxiety every morning. Unwilling to medicate, I tried everything else. Mindfulness meditation (冥想) caused panic attacks. Hot yoga built muscle but did nothing for my anxiety. I went to talks by Buddhist monks and meditation teachers hoping to attain inner peace, but in vain. Finally, I attended a SKY Breath Meditation class, which involves a 20-minute breathing regimen (养生之道) in different postures and rhythms. Though I went in skeptical,I came out calm. Two decades later,I never missed a day of my breathing practice, not even when I gave birth. I’ve also devoted part of my research career to studying the benefits of breathing for mental health and well-being. Seven years after 9/11, I was working with veterans returning from war with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Traditional treatments had failed many of them, so my colleagues and I ran a randomized controlled trial to test the effects of SKY breathing. Compared with the control group, veterans practicing SKY every day for one week saw their anxiety drop to levels typical of the general population. Even though most did not continue to practice, they maintained the benefits a year later. Emotions influence your breathing patterns, and changing your breathing can change your emotions. For example, anxiety and anger correspond to an irregular, short, fast breath. Adopting the slower and more regular breathing pattern that corresponds to a calm feeling signals relaxation by activating the vagus nerve (交感神经), slowing heart rate, easing blood pressure, and settling you down. A simple exercise you can try is to close your eyes and breathe out for twice as long as you breathe in. Do this for five minutes in the morning, before a stressful meeting or as you transit from work to home. 61. Why did the author attend the SKY Breath Meditation class? A. To build up muscles. B. To relieve inner anxiety. C. To learn more about meditation. D. To quest for religious belief. 62. How did the author test the effects of SKY breathing? A. She worked with healthy veterans returning from war. B. She chose victims suffering PTSD in the 9/11 incident. C. She divided the veterans into two groups and compared results. D. She cooperated with researchers from mindfulness meditation classes. 63. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Breathing interacts with emotions. B. It is harmful to activate the vagus nerve. C. Breathing out as long as you breathe in is a simple way to follow. D. Breathing regimen should be carried out for five minutes every morning. 64. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. PTSD: more awareness needed B. SKY: better well-being attained C. Meditation: an effective treatment D. Breath: detailed ways to conduct (B) For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply, but we’ve always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now — a dog translator called body harness has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend. HOW IT WORKS ● The platform itself is a harness that fits comfortably onto the dog, and which is equipped with a variety of technologies. ● Wireless sensors can determine when they’re sitting, standing, running, etc, even when they’re out of sight. ● The team developed software to collect, interpret and communicate those data, and to translate human requests into signals on the harness through speakers and vibrating motors. WHAT’S FOR ✧ The harness could be used to train pets, guide dogs and other working animals. ✧ Sensors on the harness monitor the dog’s heart rate and body temperature. ✧ The sensor-packed harness can sense the animal’s movement, and the sounds it makes, letting the owner know how they feel. ✧ Speakers and vibrating pads in the harness also allow owners to “talk back” to their animals. ✧ The harness is also intended for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front-line work. 65. The word “comply” in the first paragraph probably means “________”. A. shout B. obey C. disappear D. attack 66. Which of the following is NOT the intention of the harness? A. To create a better communication between dogs and humans. B. To enable the dogs to do demanding jobs. C. To transfer human thoughts to the dogs by means of technology. D.

(C) “Anita Bhagwandas is really ugly.” This was a comment that had been left on an online forum 10 years ago in reaction to a picture of me alongside my colleagues. “Trolls will be trolls,“ friends comforted me when I told them about it. They told me that I should forget all about those words. But I couldn’t let “ugly” go. I’ve had a complex relationship with that word my whole life. Growing up in Wales during the 1990s and 2000s as a plus-sized, dark-skinned Indian girl, I wanted to look like anyone other than myself. This discomfort followed me from my teens all the way up to my university and adult life--an imaginary friend was always there to remind me of my lowly place in the world. Overtime, it developed into an obsession with thinness and all that it promised: prettiness, acceptance, success. I, like many others, have been on and off some type of diet throughout my life. It feels like a never-ending game of chess, using protein bars and fried chicken as pieces. To say that trying to navigate this internal concept of “ugly” shaped my life would be an understatement. It affected everything, including my career: I became a beauty editor. I was driven by the knowledge that the industry needed to be more inclusive. Working on the inside of the beauty industry, I started to notice some changes. Around 2010, social media gave people a voice and more control over what magazines and brands were creating for them. Now, consumers were increasingly being told to “love the skin you’re in” or to feel like you’re “worth it.” I finally found some comfort--but it wasn’t because of the popular slogan “love yourself as you are.” That never worked for me because it didn’t go deep enough. But when I started to read about how beauty standards were created, who created them and who was holding the puppet strings that are making so many of us feel ugly, things started to gradually change. I developed some self-protective methods to counter the wrongness of the beauty standards I’d been sold my entire life. Today, I still buy beauty products, but I do so because I love their smells, their designs and their textures, so purchasing beauty products has become much of a pleasurable experience for me. It makes a big difference to your mindset when you are using beauty products for joy, rather than to look prettier, thinner and younger. Am I fixed? Do I walk around giving myself high fives in wing mirrors and windows? No. But I do feel so much more at peace with my appearance. I’ve come to learn how important it is for me to root my self-worth in the qualities that really define me--my character and positive traits. Once I had done so, I started to realize that ugly is an ever-changing concept--and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is never to trust those binary(二元对立的)categories. “Pretty” and “ugly” don’t actually exist. 68.

Your Next Nurse Could Be a Robot Dr. De Momi, of the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), led an international team that trained a robot to imitate natural human actions. _____72_____ Over time this should lead to improvements in safety during surgeries because unlike their human counterparts robots do not tire and can complete an endless series of precise movements. The goal is not to remove human skill from the operating room, but to complement it with a robot’s particular skills and benefits. “As a roboticist, I am convinced that robotic (co)workers and collaborators will definitely change the work market, but they won’t steal job opportunities. _____73_____” De Momi explains. To conduct their experiment De Momi’s team photographed a human being conducting numerous reaching motions, in a way similar to handing instruments to a surgeon. These camera captures were input into the neural network of the robotic arm, which is crucial to controlling movements. Next a human operator guided the robotic arm in imitating the reaching motions that the human subject had initially performed. Although there was not a perfect overlap between the robotic and human actions, they were broadly similar. _____74_____ These observers determined whether the actions of the robotic arms were “biologically inspired,” which would indicate that their neural networks had effectively learned to imitate human behavior. About 70% of the time this is exactly what the human observers concluded. These results are promising, although further research is necessary to confirm or refine De Momi’s conclusions. If robotic arms can indeed imitate human behavior, it would be necessary to build conditions in which humans and robots can cooperate effectively in high stress environments like operating rooms. _____75_____ De Momi’s work is part of the growing field of healthcare robotics, which has the potential to change the way we receive health care sooner rather than later. A. This future may not be as far away as we think. B. Robots can’t successfully imitate doctors’ motions in the operating room. C. Finally, several humans observed as the robotic arm made numerous motions. D. The nursing assistant for your next trip to the hospital will still be a robot instead of human beings. E. They will just allow us to decrease workload and achieve better performances in several tasks. F. His work indicates that humans and robots can effectively cooperate during high-risk events such as surgeries. Grammar填空（15分）This part concerning Tense & Voice. 76.
