Section B Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the sentences coherent and grammatically correct. 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 __31__ reflects his constant exploration. His bike rides are a form of engagement — a way to witness __32__ 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 __33__ (drive) as much by residents as by government departments. “The street is __34__ 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 __35__ 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) __36__ (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 __37__: the feeling that you're welcome, __38__ you're a stranger.” Suominen has filled more than 20 sketchbooks with these scenes, each __39__ (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 __40__ hardly observe people's values and habits in the same way.” III. Vocabulary: (20%) Section A (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. astonishing B. begins with C. come forward D. come out E. consider F. creations G. dedicated H. died out I. feature J. forbade K. translate Saving a language with 45 clicks Only two fluent speakers of N|uu survive. Both are in their 80s. Two and a half millennia ago the San had southern Africa to themselves, living lightly on the land as hunter gatherers. Then came the Khoekhoen from the northeast to take some of the San's hunting grounds for their cattle. The 17th century Dutch incomers called the hunter-gatherers “Boesmans” (“Bushmen”) after their habitat, while the Khoekhoen were “Hottentots”. The word Hottentot may mimic the click sound of the Khoekhoen's speech. Africa is the only continent where clicks act as a kind of consonant in basic word building sounds. Many of southern Africa's original click rich languages have 41. ________ For the complexity of its clicks, the N|uu language of a long-scattered subgroup of the San is among humanity's most startling 42. ________ It has but two known surviving fluent speakers, both in their 80s. The bar after the N indicates a particular click of the tongue against the teeth. N|uu is one of just three languages known to 43. ________ a kiss-click made with both lips. Katrina Esau is one of the surviving pair. To hear her speak N|uu is 44. ________, as if two tracks are playing at once, with “normal” speech overlaid with a peppering of soft explosions. Port Elizabeth has recently been renamed Gqeberha, a word in Xhosa (South Africa's most widely spoken indigenous language, along with Zulu) that 45. ________ a click. If the skill of pronouncing Gqeberha eludes (难住) many, 46. ________ that N|uu has 45 such sounds. Ms Esau has 47. ________ her last years to teaching it. Illiterate, she uses a schoolroom next to her home to teach people in her Northern Cape community through song, play and images. “I didn't learn this language; It was in my blood,” says Ms Esau in “Lost Tongue”, a film about N|uu made in 2016. “But I buried it at the back of my head.” She buried it because long ago her white employers 48. ________ her from speaking it. It was thought extinct until the 1990s, when a N|uu speaker, Elsie Vaalbooi, appealed on the radio for speakers to 49. ________. A N|uu writing system has recently been developed. Esau's granddaughter, Claudia Snyman, now teaches the written language. Sheena Shah and Matthias Brenzinger, both linguists, worked with locals to 50. ________ this rich language of 114 basic units of sound with an extended version of the Latin alphabet. They hope the language's revival may help rebuild the San's identity. Section B (10%) Directions: Complete the following sentences by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

Reading Comprehension: Section A (30%) 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. Seaweed's secrets Seaweed (海草) can tell marine scientists a lot about climate change. Here's how to help them on your holiday, says Layal Liverpool Planning a trip to the beach? If you are holidaying in the UK, remember to cast a(n) 61.____ eye over the seaweed lying around. What you see could help monitor the impact of climate change on 62.____. Seaweed, including kelp forests (海草林), is a key component of marine ecosystems globally. The sea around the UK alone is home to more than 600 species. 63.____ they are being threatened by rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification and increases in non-native species. By participating in this year's Big Seaweed Search, you can help scientists 64.____ how seaweed species around the UK are changing as oceans acidify and sea temperatures rise. Get started by 65.____ bigseaweedsearch.org. The Big Seaweed Search team recommends that you begin your search an hour before low tide because this is both the safest time for 66.____ beach scientists and the best time to spot seaweed. Select a 5-metre-wide strip that runs from the top of the shore to the sea. Starting at the bottom of this strip with your back to the sea, photograph the area to show the 67.____ when you did the survey. Then, walking away from the sea, explore your strip, photographing and noting details of any of 14 target species you 68.____. You can 69.____ these species using the guide on the survey website. When you have finished, submit your findings and upload your photos to the website (or you can send them in the post). Information collected through the Big Seaweed Search and similar research projects shows that the proportion of 70.____ seaweed species is increasing. In the UK, the figure has risen from 6 to 7 per cent over the past five years. “We know that the number of alien species is increasing, so we're 71.____ to see where people are finding them,” scientists say. Noticing the 72.____ of species is important, too, because recognizing threatened species helps guide conservation efforts. If you don't have access to a 73.____or you live outside the UK, you can take part in other marine science without even leaving your home. The Floating Forests project asks 74.____to browse satellite images online to spot giant kelp forests. This helps scientists who are studying how these forests change over time. 75.____, if you enjoy playing games, you can download NASA's NeMO-Net game on your smartphone or tablet and score points as you help the agency to classify coral reefs. 61.

A. scientists B. students C. visitors D. volunteers 75. A. Interestingly B. Alternatively C. Eventually D. Generally Section B (8%) 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. Do we really need to protect every species? Focus on individuals or entire ecosystems? Scientists disagree. Species extinction occurred long before humans set foot on Earth. By that definition, it's a natural process. But today, extinctions are increasing rapidly — and very often linked to human activities. Take the Bramble Cay melomys, a small rodent (啮齿动物) on a remote island with no humans living there. In 2016, it became the first mammal to die out due to climate change. Some conservationists mournedⁿ, but others questioned whether every extinction is something to worry about. In the face of tough decisions about human lifestyles and the climate crisis, a split among scientists is surfacing. Losing one species may not change life as we know it, so perhaps our limited conservation resources should focus on preserving the biodiversity in those systems where it benefits humans. Sometimes, such as when dense forests prevent landslides (山体滑坡), a great diversity of species isn't needed to perform this function. Essentially, we must ask the question: How should we value life? The claim: Protect ecosystems, not species Peter Kareiva is the CEO of the Aquarium of the Pacific. He thinks the term biodiversity crisis wrongly inflatesⁿ the role of individual nonhuman species in human well-being and prosperity, when in reality, entire ecosystems are more important. Kareiva adheres to a metaphor developed by biologist Paul Ehrlich: Nature is like an airplane, and species are the rivets (铆钉) that hold it together. If you remove a few rivets, the ash. The trouble is we don't know how many rivets we can take out. Instead of trying to nail down that number, we'd better focus on an ecosystem's functions — that is, keeping the plane in the sky, rather than saving every rivet. “The first question you may ask is, if this species goes functionally extinct, what difference will it make to our world?” A scientist's role, he says, should be to answer that question as the evidence society uses to decide whether a species needs to be saved. It is up to society to weigh its social and cultural values against the cost of protecting a species; i.e. whether to spend hard-to-find money on conservation or other projects. The counterpoint: Morals matter Tierra Curry is both a scientist and activist with the Center for Biological Diversity. Because of cash crunch (资金短缺), she is often forced to concentrate efforts on protecting a more famous species, like the monarch butterfly, rather than the seemingly mundane freshwater mussels (蚌), which she used to decorate her walls. For Curry, allowing a species to go extinct is wrong. Valuing the natural world in terms of how each individual species benefits humans may be too narrow a view, she says. “We're not always looking at the right metrics (指标).” For instance, genetic diversity (基因多样性) can make ecosystems resilient in the face of drastic changes like climate change and disease. A single invasive species may replace native species and accomplish an ecosystem function in the short term, but, in the long term, it could easily be wiped out by a disease. Diversity also brings honest allure, Curry says. “It's the box of 128 crayons versus the box of eight crayons. No kid wants the box of eight crayons on the first day of school, when they could have the box of 128 crayons.” Curry's main motivation, however, is morality. Mass global extinctions have happened five times before, but humans have the capacity to understand that we are causing this one. “Because we know,” she says, “I think we have the moral responsibility to take care of all the species.” 76. According to the article, scientists disagree on ____. A. whether every species should be saved B. who is to be blamed for climate change C. whether the extinction of species is a natural process D. how many resources should be used to protect biodiversity 77. Peter Kareiva uses the metaphor of an airplane and its rivets mainly to support that ____. A. an airplane cannot fly without rivets B. species variety is an essential part of nature C. nature will remain powerful even if some species go extinct D. our attention should be paid to an ecosystem's functions rather than saving every species 78. According to Peter Karelia, which of the following statements is true? A. Society should get sufficient funding to invest in conservation. B. Scientists should consider the social and cultural values behind protecting a species. C. Society should decide whether to save a species based on people's preference. D. Scientists should offer evidence of how extinctions of certain species could affect the world. 79. The phrase “looking at the right metrics” (para. 7) means to value the natural world in terms of ____. A. how each individual species can benefit humans B. how much effort is required to protect different species C. how various species are able to benefit ecosystems in the long term D. how much money can be gained from preserving ecosystem services 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. A. The persistence you use in video games shows that hard work will help you achieve your goals, both inside and outside the game. B. Video games provide friends a digital playground where helping and sharing is encouraged and often required. C. For the same reason, life can be more rewarding than video games. D. But also ask yourself: Are you up for the challenges waiting for you outside video games? E. For those who think video games are a waste of time or a negative force in your life, it might be worth showing them what the latest science has to say. F. It is one reason why video game players make better surgeons and why some doctors even use video games to warm up before big surgeries. Is gaming good for kids? Gamers, have you ever noticed that you're the first person to spot animals at the zoo? Or if someone drops candy on the ground, you know exactly where every piece landed? That may be because you play video games. Research has shown people who play video games like Fortnite or Rocket League have higher visual acuity, meaning they can keep track of multiple moving objects at once — or even see things in the fog or rain that others cannot. It's one of the many benefits researchers like me have discovered about playing video games. __80__ Developing skills When you keep an eye on your enemies, grab the best loot and change your inventory without even looking at the controller, you are essentially flexing your brain. Your brain loves challenges like this — and can actually grow from playing video games. __81__ Video games can develop other skills, too. For example, they can teach you to never give up, no matter how many times it takes to beat the final boss or reach the next level. __82__ Think about your favorite games. They give you lots of different problems with multiple solutions, which makes you realize solving problems can be really fun. And, of course, one of the very best things about playing video games is the friends. Applying skills to real life While you can turn on a video game and quickly feel powerful, in charge and popular, it's good to remember games are a little like playing life on the easiest settings. Real life tends to be more challenging. But think about how you get bored playing a game on the easiest setting — and how it suddenly becomes fun again when you increase the difficulty. __83__ Take learning how to play an instrument, for example. I found that learning how to play a guitar is way harder and more frustrating than playing Rock Band on the hardest setting. But it's so much more fun to shred a guitar in real life than it is to play one on Rock Band. So enjoy developing your skills by playing video games. V. Summary (84)（15%） 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(严重物资匮乏)——insufficient food, seriously overcrowded housing or a lack of access to medical care 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.
