Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．accidentally    B．alert     C． curiosity    D．critical    E. defensive    F. disproved G. documented     H. immediate    I. initiating    J. stimulus    K. typically Wanted: Volunteers who can throw new light on “photosneezia” mystery Scientists are attempting to unpick the mystery of the “photic sneeze” — a reflex (反射动作) that causes people to sneeze, in response to bright light — and they need help from the public. “It 11 follows a tickling sensation (痒感). The sneeze is not 12 , and it will take a few seconds,” said Manuel Spitschan, an experimental psychologist at the University of Oxford, who is launching a study into the phenomenon. Much as photic sneezing is a(n) 13 , it can have serious consequences, particularly for ophthalmologists (眼科医生). “And you have other safety 14 professions in which sneezing in response to bright light isn’t helpful, like fighter pilots or truck drivers, anywhere you can’t really lose control of something.” Reports of photosneezia have been 15 throughout the ages. The Greek philosopher Aristotle wondered in his Book of Problems: why does the heat of the sun cause sneezing? His assumption was that sweat inside the nose caused it, but the 17th century English philosopher Francis Bacon 16 this theory by facing the sun with his eyes closed and finding that it did not make him sneeze. His theory was that the sun’s light made the eyes water, causing moisture to drip down the nose, 17 a sneeze. Various modern theories have also been put forward, but none is easily testable. One theory is that optic (视觉的) nerve fibers could 18 activate neighboring nerve fibers as they join in the brain. Curiously, the reflex can also be started during eye surgery, meaning needle-bearing anesthetists (麻醉师) must be 19 to sneezes to avoid damaging patients’ eyes. The goal of the Oxford Photic Sneeze Survey, which Spitschan is coordinating, is to better understand what drives the photic sneeze reflex. “There are approximately 110 papers in the scientific literature that discus this phenomenon, but there’s very little empirical (实证的) data,” he said. “We are hoping to find the ideal 20 to cause the sneeze.” 【答案】 11．K 12．H 13．C 14．D 15．G 16．F 17．I 18．A 19．B 20．J 【导语】文章主要围绕“光喷嚏反射”这一现象展开，介绍了其表现、可能的危害、历史上的相关研究及牛津大学的相关调查目的。 【详解】11．考查副词。句意：它通常伴随着一种痒感。空处修饰动词follows，需用副词，结合语境，此处指光喷嚏反射通常会有痒感作为前兆，副词typically（通常；典型地）符合题意。 12．考查形容词。句意：喷嚏不是即时的，会需要几秒钟。空处作表语，结合后半句“it will take a few seconds”可知，此处指喷嚏不会立刻发生，形容词immediate（即时的；立即的）符合题意。 13．考查名词。句意：尽管光喷嚏是一种令人好奇的事物，但它可能会产生严重的后果，尤其是对眼科医生而言。空处前有不定冠词a(n)修饰，需用名词作表语，结合上文“Scientists are attempting to unpick the mystery of the “photic sneeze””可知，光喷嚏是一种令人好奇的现象，名词curiosity（好奇的事物）符合题意。 14．考查形容词。句意：还有其他对安全至关重要的职业，在这些职业中，因强光打喷嚏是无益的，比如战斗机飞行员或卡车司机，在这些职业中，你真的不能失去对某些事物的控制。空处修饰名词professions，需用形容词，结合“fighter pilots or truck drivers”可知，这些职业对安全要求极高，形容词critical（至关重要的）符合题意。 15．考查动词。句意：历代都有关于光喷嚏反射的记载。空处前有been，结合语境可知，此处为现在完成时的被动语态，需用过去分词，结合“Reports of photosneezia”可知，光喷嚏反射的现象在历史上一直有记载，过去分词documented（记载；记录）符合题意。 16．考查动词。句意：他的假设是鼻子里的汗水导致了这种现象，但17世纪英国哲学家弗朗西斯·培根通过闭着眼睛面对太阳，发现这并没有让他打喷嚏，从而反驳了这一理论。空处作谓语，文章叙述历史上的研究，用一般过去时，结合“finding that it did not make him sneeze”可知，培根的实验反驳了亚里士多德的理论，动词disproved（反驳；证明……是错误的）符合题意。 17．考查非谓语动词。句意：他的理论是，太阳的光线使眼睛流泪，泪水滴落到鼻子里，引发喷嚏。结合“the sun’s light made the eyes water, causing moisture to drip down the nose”可知，此处指这种情况引发了喷嚏，动词initiate（引发；启动）符合，和逻辑主语the sun’s light made the eyes water, causing moisture to drip down the nose是主动关系，用现在分词initiating作结果状语 18．考查副词。句意：一种理论是，视觉神经纤维在进入大脑时可能会意外激活邻近的神经纤维。空处修饰动词activate，需用副词，结合“activate neighboring nerve fibers as they join in the brain”可知，此处指视觉神经纤维可能意外激活其他神经纤维，副词accidentally（意外地；偶然地）符合题意。 19．考查形容词。句意：奇怪的是，这种反射也可能在眼科手术中发生，这意味着手持针头的麻醉师必须警惕喷嚏，以避免损伤患者的眼睛。空处作表语，结合“avoid damaging patients’ eyes”可知，麻醉师需要警惕喷嚏的发生，形容词alert（警惕的；警觉的）符合题意。 20．考查名词。句意：我们希望找到引发喷嚏的理想刺激物。空处前有定冠词the和形容词ideal修饰，需用名词，结合前文研究光喷嚏反射的目的可知，此处指找到能引发喷嚏的理想刺激物，名词stimulus（刺激物）符合题意，复数形式表泛指。 II. Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A (15分) 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. Try Paper-Based Crafting to Cut Through Overthinking Since being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder as a teenager, I’ve turned to medication, talking therapy, and exercise to alleviate my symptoms. Still, I often find it hard to “switch off”, and stop 21 thoughts. But, recently, I discovered a new tool to slice through my anxiety. In a collage (拼贴画) workshop, I cut images from magazines, and pasted them on to paper. Playing around with pictures, scissors, and glue, I was transported back to more creative childhood days — and experienced a deep sense of 22 . 23 drawing or painting, there’s no certain level of artistic skill required for a collage, while the pressure to make something ‘perfect’ is removed. By remixing readymade visuals, I was able to 24 the voice of my inner critic, and feel a different kind of creative freedom. Alongside the simple joy of cutting and arranging images, I learned that the final 25 can be meaningful, too. According to artist and teacher Hazel Pit, we mentally store certain past images in our minds — and collage allows us to access them. “With its endless possibilities, collage really is an ideal tool for accessing the unconscious mind, and expressing yourself,” she says. Hazel’s students have been surprised by the emotions reflected back to them in their compositions. As she explains: “Collage can act as a 26 conduit (渠道，通道) for the inner self,” and anyone can experience its benefits by following these steps. Grab your tools Gather visually-rich materials, including magazines and newspapers, leaflets, old books, vintage postcards, and photographs. Searching for forgotten pictures can 27 new ideas and emotional revelations. You will also need glue and a pair of 28 . For the background, choose paper or card that suits your personal style, from a piece of white A5 to a leftover delivery box. Work with what you have! Follow your intuition Pick out your images 29 . “Don’t overthink it, or hold the end product in mind,” says Hazel. Drawing on psychotherapist Carl Jung’s theories about images as metaphors in healing, she advises: “Only choose something that resonates with you, sparking an emotional reaction, as this will give your collage substance.” You might be 30 to certain colours, textures, or details, as well as figures, words, or scenes. At this stage, tear out the pages which feature appealing pictures, and place them in a pile. Cut, slice, and tear Cut out your chosen images or experiment with tearing with your hands for rougher edges. This repetitive act requires concentration and is soothing. “Cutting will put you in a meditative space,” says Hazel, “as you stop thinking about 31 issues and exist in the present moment.” Play around with pictures Arrange, rearrange, and layer your images, testing different combinations. Without constraints, allow your intuition to guide you. This is the most expressive part of the process, so embrace it. Pin and paste Once you’re happy with the arrangement, glue it down. Small pins can also help keep your composition in 32 . Reflect on your collage Finally, take time to reflect upon your collage. Does the choice and arrangement of pictures hold 33 ? Days later, it may speak to you about feelings or thoughts that you didn’t realize were bubbling beneath the surface. Generally speaking, collage requires no special 34 skill. The pressure to make something “perfect” gradually disappears. Studies suggest that creative activities like collage can reduce anxiety and strengthen one’s sense of 35 . 21．A．innovative B．reflective C．intrusive D．passive 22．A．suspicion B．curiosity C．tension D．calm 23．A．In addition to B．In contrast to C．In spite of D．In place of 24．A．silence B．prompt C．obey D．question 25．A．combination B．composition C．conclusion D．complement 26．A．mental B．physiological C．physical D．visual 27．A．block B．spark C．spell D．underestimate 28．A．knives B．tools C．scissors D．devices 29．A．carefully B．logically C．randomly D．instinctively 30．A．forced B．drawn C．exposed D．introduced 31．A．internal B．personal C．external D．minor 32．A．order B．mind C．balance D．shape 33．A．popularity B．difficulty C．convenience D．significance 34．A．technical B．practical C．artistic D．professional 35．A．identity B．humor C．self D．responsibility 【答案】 21．C 22．D 23．B 24．A 25．B 26．D 27．B 28．C 29．D 30．B 31．C 32．A 33．D 34．C 35．C 【导语】本文讲述拼贴手工可缓解焦虑，它无需艺术技巧、无完美压力，遵从直觉创作，能探寻内心情绪，舒缓身心，帮助人们减轻焦虑、治愈自我。 21．考查形容词。句意：即便如此，我常常很难放空自己，无法停止杂乱烦扰的思绪。A. innovative创新的；B. reflective反思的；C. intrusive侵扰的；D. passive被动的。结合前文“Since being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder as a teenager, I’ve turned to medication, talking therapy, and exercise to alleviate my symptoms.(自从十几岁时被诊断出患有广泛性焦虑症以来，我便通过药物治疗、心理治疗以及运动来缓解症状)”可知，作者患有焦虑症、难以放松的语境，此处指恼人的、侵入性的杂念。 22．考查名词。句意：摆弄图片、剪刀和胶水时，我仿佛回到富有创造力的童年，获得了深深的平静。A. suspicion怀疑；B. curiosity好奇；C. tension紧张；D. calm平静。结合上文“But, recently, I discovered a new tool to slice through my anxiety.(但最近，我找到了一种能帮我缓解焦虑的新方法)”可知，拼贴画缓解焦虑、舒缓身心的内容，可知内心变得平静。 23．考查介词短语。句意：与绘画或素描不同，拼贴艺术不需要具备特定的绘画技巧水平，而且也不再有追求“完美”的压力。A.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A） Hatching a theory Just as dinosaurs characterized the cretaceous (白垩纪的) period, which ended with their extinction 66 million years ago, and mammals made up the Holocene (全新世), which extends to the present day, many scientists believe we need to designate (命名) a new geologic age, called the Anthropocene, that reflects the impact of humankind on the planet. That raises the question. What will constitute the most noticeable feature of the Anthropocene in the fossil record? It’s likely to be chicken bones, according to a study by Carys Bennett, from the U.K.’s University of Leicester, and colleagues published last month in Royal Society Open Science. Humans eat a lot of chicken, which means a lot of chicken bones are being buried, and many of them are likely to survive in fossilized form. According to Bennett’s paper, 65.8 billion chickens were slaughtered (屠宰) globally in 2016, and another 22.7 billion live birds await this fate today. The “biomass” of all poultry (家禽) is 10 times greater than of all wild birds put together. What’s more, growth in the consumption of chicken is outpacing that of all other forms of livestock. Since 1961, annual production of chickens has soared from less than 10 million metric tons to more than 100 million metric tons in 2016. “Chicken is the most commonly eaten meat worldwide, and their bones are components of house-hold trash,” says Bennett. “Industrial broiler (meat chicken) farms are spread around the world, and chickens are also buried at these sites.” We’re not just eating a lot of poultry, we’ve also put our mark on the birds themselves. Since chicken consumption started taking off in the 1950s, the size and shape of the species — their skeleton, bone chemistry and genetics — have changed radically from their wild ancestors. The rapid growth of chicken’s leg and breast muscle means that its organs, including the heart and liver, are proportionally smaller. We’ve shortened the life span of broiler chickens, which can no longer survive without “intensive human intervention,” the authors write. Because we engineered the species, and because it has become such a major feature of food consumption, it will be considered a marker of the Anthropocene, Bennett predicts. “The significance of the post-mid-20th-century chicken is that it is the first really good example we have of what paleontologists (古生物学家) call a new ‘morphospecies’ — that is, a distinctive kind of skeleton that can be identified as a fossil — that appeared in the Anthropocene (i.e., post-1950) and in that time became hugely abundant pretty well around the world,” she says. “In the future, humans will find and use chickens as a marker — or index species — of our age.” The age of chicken bones may be brief, however. Food producers such as Tyson and Perdue Farms are investing in plant-based replacements for chicken. “People are looking for food that is better for the environment, as well as their wallet,” says Bennett. “Times are changing.” 36．Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph? A．The Anthropocene is followed by the Holocene. B．Dinosaurs died out about 66 million years ago. C．Human beings dominate the period of the Holocene. D．Fossil records help scientists name each period. 37．What does the author mean by saying “we engineered the species” in paragraph 6? A．That there is much technology involved in the raising of chickens. B．That chicken industry has become an important food industry in the world. C．That humans have genetically modified the species to satisfy humans’ needs. D．That there are many artificial parts of the species compared with their wild ancestors. 38．Chicken has been the commonly eaten meat worldwide since ________. A．2016 B．1961 C．the 1900s D．the 1950s 39．Why can future generations know us by our chicken bones, according to Carys Bennett? A．Because chicken is an important marker to human beings. B．Because the only thing that may remain as fossil is chicken bones. C．Because man has engineered this species as a widely consumed food. D．Because chicken bones are being thrown and buried in large numbers. 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．D 39．C 【导语】文章介绍科学家提出鸡骨会成为人类世化石标志性痕迹，阐述肉鸡被人类改造、全球消耗量巨大的现状，同时提及人造鸡肉或在未来改变这一现状。 【详解】36．细节理解题。根据第一段“Just as dinosaurs characterized the cretaceous (白垩纪的) period, which ended with their extinction 66 million years ago, and mammals made up the Holocene (全新纪), which extends to the present day, many scientists believe we need to designate (命名) a new geologic age, called the Anthropocene, that reflects the impact of humankind on the planet. (正如恐龙是6600万年前以大灭绝落幕的白垩纪的标志性生物，哺乳动物构成了延续至今的全新世的主体，许多科学家提出，我们应当划定一个名为“人类世”的全新地质年代，以此体现人类对地球造成的深刻影响。)”可知，恐龙大约在6600万年前灭绝。 37．词句猜测题。根据第五段“Since chicken consumption started taking off in the 1950s, the size and shape of the species — their skeleton, bone chemistry and genetics — have changed radically from their wild ancestors.(自二十世纪五十年代鸡肉消费激增以来，鸡的体型、骨骼、骨骼化学成分和基因相比野生祖先发生了彻底改变。)”，结合画线句所在段落“Because we engineered the species, and because it has become such a major feature of food consumption, it will be considered a marker of the Anthropocene (贝内特预测：we engineered the species，且该物种现已成为人类饮食消费中的重要组成部分，因此它将会被视作人类世的标志性印记。)”可知， we engineered the species指人类通过基因选育改造鸡这个物种以满足食用需求。 38．细节理解题。根据第五段“Since chicken consumption started taking off in the 1950s, the size and shape of the species — their skeleton, bone chemistry and genetics — have changed radically from their wild ancestors.(自二十世纪五十年代鸡肉消费激增以来，鸡的体型、骨骼、骨骼化学成分和基因相比野生祖先发生了彻底改变。)”以及第四段“Chicken is the most commonly eaten meat worldwide, and their bones are components of house-hold trash,(鸡肉是全球食用最广泛的肉类，鸡骨也成了生活垃圾的组成部分)”可知，自20世纪50年代起鸡肉成为全球主流食用肉类。 39．推理判断题。根据第六段“The significance of the post-mid-20th-century chicken is that it is the first really good example we have of what paleontologists (古生物学家) call a new ‘morphospecies’ — that is, a distinctive kind of skeleton that can be identified as a fossil — that appeared in the Anthropocene (i.e., post-1950) and in that time became hugely abundant pretty well around the world,” she says. “In the future, humans will find and use chickens as a marker — or index species — of our age.(她表示：“20 世纪中叶之后鸡的重要意义在于，它是我们所能找到的首个绝佳实例，印证了古生物学家所说的一种新型‘形态种’—— 也就是一类特征鲜明、能够作为化石被辨识的骨骼生物。该物种诞生于人类世（即1950年之后），并在这一时期迅速遍布全球、数量激增。未来的人类会将鸡视作我们这个时代的标志，也就是标准化石种。”)”以及结合第五段人类改造鸡的基因与身体结构的内容可知，人类改造培育鸡并将其大规模作为食物，所以后世人类能够通过鸡骨了解我们所处的时代。 (B) The Puffing Billy Railway, located about 40 km east of Melbourne, was constructed in the early 1900s to open up remote areas.

The present line between Belgrave and Gembrook travels through the forests and farmlands of the magnificent Dandenong Ranges. Today, this non-profit Railway operates almost daily thanks to the tireless efforts of more than 900 dedicated volunteers.”（这条位于墨尔本以东约40公里处的“膨胀比利铁路”建于20世纪初，目的是开辟偏远地区。现在贝尔格雷夫和金布鲁克之间的线路穿过宏伟的丹德农山脉的森林和农田。今天，由于900多名志愿者的不懈努力，这条非营利性铁路几乎每天都在运营。）由此判断出，以上资料主要供潜在乘坐蒸汽列车的旅客参考。故选B项。 41．细节理解题。根据文中“Alcohol – is not permitted on trains (except as provided in dining cars).”（酒精——不允许带上火车(餐车里提供的除外)）可知，人们不允许带酒上短途列车。故选D项。 42．推理判断题。根据文中“Easy access toilets are at Belgrave, Lakeside and Gembrook.”（Belgrave、莱克赛德和 Gembrook 都设有方便使用的厕所。）可知，并非所有车站都设有残疾人厕所。故选B项。 (C) The rock dove, a bird native to Europe and Western Asia, is the ancestor of the common urban pigeon. Settlers introduced rock doves to North America in the 1600s for meat and, over time, these birds escaped domestication and grew well in urban areas. Cities have a lot to offer pigeons, as tall buildings and window shelves can serve as nesting sites for rock doves. Urban residents provide plenty of food for pigeons either intentionally by feeding pigeons birdseed or bread or unintentionally by leaving out food waste. In addition to human-sourced food, pigeons have a broad diet, including seeds, berries, and insects. Pigeon enthusiasts also set domesticated birds free into the urban environment, where they later bring forth young. Pigeons’ ability to reproduce year-round leads to highly numerous pigeons in the city, which is an issue for urban wildlife managers. Although pigeons are socially paired, they live in groups of up to 500 birds and this persistent congregation can cause considerable conflicts with people. To ease conflicts with pigeons, managers have used several methods to prevent pigeon presence or reduce pigeon numbers. Managers have used deadly tools such as poisons. However, this approach typically doesn’t have sustained results because the remaining pigeons multiply rapidly. Further, many poisons are not species-specific and may harm other urban birds. Other programs aimed at reducing nest success involve removing the eggs and replacing them with fake eggs. They often fail because it can be difficult to access nests or attract pigeons to nest houses. Preventing conflicts ultimately relies on removing food sources for urban pigeons. For example, many urban residents feed pigeons in parks. This could be limited through public education campaigns or by carrying out feeding regulations. 43．Which of the following is NOT a reason for the survival of pigeons in urban areas? A．Pigeon-friendly climate. B．Availability of habitats. C．Rich food supply. D．Freeing domesticated pigeons. 44．The word “congregation” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________. A．introduction B．gathering C．reproduction D．nesting 45．From the sentence “this approach typically...” in the last paragraph, we can infer that the approach ________. A．needs to be used repeatedly B．is not effective in the long run C．reduces pigeon numbers greatly D．works when pigeons multiply 46．It can be concluded from the passage that ________. A．urban pigeons tend to act independently B．it is difficult for pigeons to adapt to cities C．stopping feeding pigeons is key to controlling their numbers D．alternative methods to reduce pigeon numbers are being explored 【答案】43．A 44．B 45．B 46．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了城市中鸽子泛滥的问题，介绍了鸽子数量多的原因以及应对方法。 【详解】43．细节理解题。根据第二段“Cities have a lot to offer pigeons, as tall buildings and window shelves can serve as nesting sites for rock doves. Urban residents provide plenty of food for pigeons either intentionally by feeding pigeons birdseed or bread or unintentionally by leaving out food waste. In addition to human-sourced food, pigeons have a broad diet, including seeds, berries, and insects. Pigeon enthusiasts also set domesticated birds free into the urban environment, where they later bring forth young.(城市为鸽子提供了很多，因为高楼和窗台上的架子可以作为岩鸽的筑巢地点。城市居民有意地给鸽子喂鸟食或面包，或无意地留下食物垃圾，为鸽子提供了大量的食物。除了人类来源的食物，鸽子的饮食也很广泛，包括种子、浆果和昆虫。鸽子爱好者还把驯养的鸽子放生到城市环境中，然后在那里繁殖后代)”可知，城市中适宜的栖息地、丰富的食物以及鸽子爱好者放飞驯养的鸽子等是城市中鸽子存活的原因，未提到适合鸽子的气候。故选A。 44．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Pigeons’ ability to reproduce year-round leads to highly numerous pigeons in the city, which is an issue for urban wildlife managers.(鸽子全年繁殖的能力导致城市中鸽子数量众多，这对城市野生动物管理人员来说是个问题。)”以及“they live in groups of up to 500 birds(它们生活在多达500只鸽子的群体中)”可知，鸽子繁殖能力强导致数量众多，且喜欢大量群体生活在一起，“this persistent congregation can cause considerable conflicts with people(这种持续的congregation可能会引起与人的相当大的冲突)”指的是鸽子持续性大量聚集在一起会引起与人的相当大的冲突，划线词意思congregation是“聚集”。故选B。 45．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Managers have used deadly tools such as poisons. However, this approach typically doesn’t have sustained results because the remaining pigeons multiply rapidly. Further, many poisons are not species-specific and may harm other urban birds. Other programs aimed at reducing nest success involve removing the eggs and replacing them with fake eggs.(管理人员使用了致命的工具，如毒药。然而，这种方法通常不会产生持久的结果，因为剩下的鸽子繁殖迅速。此外，许多毒素不是特定物种的，可能会伤害其他城市鸟类)”可知，毒药会让剩下的鸽子繁殖迅速，而且许多毒素不是特定物种的，可能会伤害其他城市鸟类，由此可知这种方法从长远来看是无效的。故选B。 46．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Preventing conflicts ultimately relies on removing food sources for urban pigeons. For example, many urban residents feed pigeons in parks. This could be limited through public education campaigns or by carrying out feeding regulations.(防止冲突最终依赖于消除城市鸽子的食物来源。例如，许多城市居民在公园里喂鸽子。这可以通过公共教育运动或执行喂养规定加以限制)”可知，停止喂鸽子是控制鸽子数量的关键。故选C。 Section C (8分) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Optimize Your Sleep According to Statistics Canada, more than one third of Canadians are chronically sleep deprived — and that’s bad news for our brains, which perform worse after even a single night of inadequate rest. 47 Sleep is also crucial for encoding new impressions and knowledge into your long-term memory. In a University of California San Diego study, researchers found that well-rested participants remembered twice as many new vocabulary words as those who didn’t get enough sleep. And when it comes to our motor skills, they drop in speed by 20 per cent when we’ve underslept. If you’re having a difficult time getting the recommended seven to nine hours of shut-eye a night, doctors recommend assessing your sleep habits. Are you keeping to a schedule? 48 When you rise, open your blinds so the sun can kick-start your circadian rhythm, the inner clock that regulates your level of wakefulness throughout the day and night. Limit naps to 30 minutes a day. 49 Avoid caffeine after lunch. And while drinking alcohol before bedtime can help put you to sleep, it increases the chance you’ll wake up in the middle of the night. That’s because it increases the production of a chemical called adenosine, which makes you groggy — but only temporarily. When the adenosine wears off, you wake up. Do you make time for shutting down? Two hours before bedtime, stop using screens — the blue light they emit can confuse your body, causing it to produce less melatonin, a hormone that makes us sleepy. 50 Is your room conducive to sleep? Channel your ancient ancestors by thinking of your bedroom as a cave. It should be cool, dark and quiet. A．Don’t go to bed hungry or stuffed. B．Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. C．Instead, create a relaxing ritual to end your day, like reading or having a shower. D．Sleep cleans the brain of unneeded by-products from its daily functioning. E．What are you consuming? F．Why sleep matters? 【答案】47．D 48．B 49．E 50．C 【导语】文章通过分析多项科学研究介绍了优化睡眠的重要性及具体方法。 【详解】47．上文“According to Statistics Canada, more than one third of Canadians are chronically sleep deprived — and that’s bad news for our brains, which perform worse after even a single night of inadequate rest. (根据加拿大统计局的数据，超过三分之一的加拿大人长期存在睡眠不足的问题——这对我们的大脑来说是个坏消息，因为即使只有一晚睡眠不足，大脑的表现也会明显下降。)”说明睡眠不足对大脑的负面影响，下文“Sleep is also crucial for encoding new impressions and knowledge into your long-term memory. (睡眠对将新印象和知识编码到长期记忆中也至关重要。)”用also引出睡眠的另一个功能。空格处需要填入睡眠对大脑的另一个好处，与下文构成并列。D项“Sleep cleans the brain of unneeded by-products from its daily functioning (睡眠清除大脑日常运作中不需要的副产品。)”说明睡眠的清洁功能，与上下文的大脑功能话题一致，且句式与下文“Sleep is also crucial for...”形成并列结构。 48．上文“Are you keeping to a schedule? (你在遵守时间表吗？)”提出关于作息规律的问题，下文“When you rise, open your blinds so the sun can kick-start your circadian rhythm (起床时，打开窗帘让阳光启动你的昼夜节律)”说明起床后的做法。空格处需要填入对“遵守时间表”的具体回答。B项“Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. (每天同一时间睡觉和起床，即使在周末也一样。)”直接回答了遵守时间表的含义，与上下文一致。 49．下文“Avoid caffeine after lunch. And while drinking alcohol before bedtime can help put you to sleep, it increases the chance you’ll wake up in the middle of the night. (午后避免咖啡因。虽然睡前饮酒可以帮助入睡，但会增加半夜醒来的几率。)”讨论的是咖啡因和酒精等摄入物对睡眠的影响。空格处位于段首，需要一个概括性的小标题。E项“What are you consuming? (你在摄入什么？)”作为小标题，引出下文关于咖啡因、酒精等摄入物的讨论，与下文内容完全对应。 50．上文“Two hours before bedtime, stop using screens — the blue light they emit can confuse your body, causing it to produce less melatonin (睡前两小时停止使用屏幕——它们发出的蓝光会迷惑你的身体，导致褪黑素分泌减少)”说明要避免屏幕，空格处需要填入替代屏幕的做法。C项“Instead, create a relaxing ritual to end your day, like reading or having a shower. (相反，创建一个放松的仪式来结束你的一天，比如阅读或洗个澡。)”中Instead与上文构成替代关系，reading和having a shower是具体的睡前放松方式，与上文“stop using screens”形成对比，符合题意。 III. Summary Writing (10分) 51．Directions: 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. Working overtime has been common for employees in China’s internet sector for many years, but debate about the practice heated up recently after a blacklist of technology companies that push their staff to follow a “996” schedule went viral online. The blacklist is said to have been compiled by current and former employees of technology companies. As of Monday, 84 Chinese companies were on the blacklist, which claims employees are forced to follow a “996” schedule, under which work begins at 9 am and finishes at 9 pm, six days a week. “ If it’s ‘work more, pay more’ model, I’d be a lot more willing to follow the ‘996’ schedule. But the truth is, not every company is run that way. That’s why many people complain,” a software developer working in a gaming company based in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province, told the Global Times on Wednesday. The online complaints and discussions also come amid young people’s changing attitudes toward life and work, and rising rights protection awareness. With improved living standards, more young people have adopted a “work hard, play hard” lifestyle, compared with the older generations’ “work to live” mind-set. While working hard, they are calling for more holidays, and believe holidays are their rights. “Bus we don’t know who we should resort to when it comes to all these holidays and payment issues, so we resort to the internet,” the developer said. “Sometimes when projects come along. I work seven days a week, I sometimes even sleep at the office,” the developer said. “I’m a game lover and I like my job, but I think I’m underpaid and my work is not appreciated.” Industry analysts noted that the hours required by the “996” model exceed the limits established in China’s Labor Contract Law. The culture of overtime is connected to the characteristics embedded in Chinese people - who are hard -working, diligent, and desirous of success. They are even willing to sacrifice some of their personal lives to achieve career success. This might be quite different and hard to be understood in European countries. Beyond China, most people in other East Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea also suffer from working overtime due to similar cultural elements. Working overtime has become a global phenomenon, and labor unions around the world should play an active role in seeking more ways to better protect workers’ rights amid an industrial upgrading. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】An online black list has brought the issue of working overtime to the spotlight. The employees complain due to their unsatisfactory payment. Besides, their changed attitudes towards life and work have also created a need for more holidays. This working - overtime culture is related to Chinese people’s personalities.

About the Gunman at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner A California man was arrested Saturday night in connection with a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, law enforcement officials said. The man, 1 (identify) as Cole Thomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, Calif, was taken into custody shortly after the shooting at the Washington Hilton hotel. Officials said evidence suggested that the suspect 2 (intend) to target government officials, potentially including President Trump. He was armed with a knife, a shotgun and a handgun, according to two law enforcement officials, 3 spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. The suspect was known to law enforcement before the attack, officials said, 4 he provided no details about previous contacts. He is expected to appear in federal court in Washington on Monday to face charges including using a firearm during a crime of violence and assaulting federal officers with a dangerous weapon. No government officials were injured in the attack. A hotel worker suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene. The shooting 5 (unfold) during the annual dinner, a black-tie event attended by journalists, politicians, celebrities and administration officials. President Trump was at the dinner and had delivered remarks shortly before the shooting. Panic spread quickly through the ballroom 6 guests heard gunshots and saw law enforcement officers rushing to respond. Many described a chaotic scene with people diving under tables, rushing for exits and calling family members 7 fear. Investigators were examining a manifesto-style document that the suspect had posted online before the attack, officials said. The document expressed anti-government and anti-Christian views, according to three people who have reviewed parts of it. “It is not Christian 8 (turn) the other cheek when others are oppressed,” the document said. “That is complicity in the crimes of the oppressor.” During an interview on Fox News 9 President Trump mentioned about the document amounted to the fact that the suspect “had a manifesto” and “hates Christians.” “This was a man with a lot of turmoil inside,” the president said. Having long been a symbol of press-government relations, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner grew tense this year amid harsh criticism from the president, and the shooting has sparked fresh concerns over security at high-profile political events and threats 10 (face) officials and journalists. Law enforcement agencies continued to investigate the suspect’s motives, contacts and plans on Sunday. Additional security measures are expected at political gatherings in the capital in the wake of the attack. Section B (10分) Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

The sneeze is not 12 , and it will take a few seconds,” said Manuel Spitschan, an experimental psychologist at the University of Oxford, who is launching a study into the phenomenon. Much as photic sneezing is a(n) 13 , it can have serious consequences, particularly for ophthalmologists (眼科医生). “And you have other safety 14 professions in which sneezing in response to bright light isn’t helpful, like fighter pilots or truck drivers, anywhere you can’t really lose control of something.” Reports of photosneezia have been 15 throughout the ages. The Greek philosopher Aristotle wondered in his Book of Problems: why does the heat of the sun cause sneezing? His assumption was that sweat inside the nose caused it, but the 17th century English philosopher Francis Bacon 16 this theory by facing the sun with his eyes closed and finding that it did not make him sneeze. His theory was that the sun’s light made the eyes water, causing moisture to drip down the nose, 17 a sneeze. Various modern theories have also been put forward, but none is easily testable. One theory is that optic (视觉的) nerve fibers could 18 activate neighboring nerve fibers as they join in the brain. Curiously, the reflex can also be started during eye surgery, meaning needle-bearing anesthetists (麻醉师) must be 19 to sneezes to avoid damaging patients’ eyes. The goal of the Oxford Photic Sneeze Survey, which Spitschan is coordinating, is to better understand what drives the photic sneeze reflex. “There are approximately 110 papers in the scientific literature that discus this phenomenon, but there’s very little empirical (实证的) data,” he said. “We are hoping to find the ideal 20 to cause the sneeze.” II. Reading Comprehension (45分) Section A (15分) 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. Try Paper-Based Crafting to Cut Through Overthinking Since being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder as a teenager, I’ve turned to medication, talking therapy, and exercise to alleviate my symptoms. Still, I often find it hard to “switch off”, and stop 21 thoughts. But, recently, I discovered a new tool to slice through my anxiety. In a collage (拼贴画) workshop, I cut images from magazines, and pasted them on to paper. Playing around with pictures, scissors, and glue, I was transported back to more creative childhood days — and experienced a deep sense of 22 . 23 drawing or painting, there’s no certain level of artistic skill required for a collage, while the pressure to make something ‘perfect’ is removed. By remixing readymade visuals, I was able to 24 the voice of my inner critic, and feel a different kind of creative freedom. Alongside the simple joy of cutting and arranging images, I learned that the final 25 can be meaningful, too. According to artist and teacher Hazel Pit, we mentally store certain past images in our minds — and collage allows us to access them. “With its endless possibilities, collage really is an ideal tool for accessing the unconscious mind, and expressing yourself,” she says. Hazel’s students have been surprised by the emotions reflected back to them in their compositions. As she explains: “Collage can act as a 26 conduit (渠道，通道) for the inner self,” and anyone can experience its benefits by following these steps. Grab your tools Gather visually-rich materials, including magazines and newspapers, leaflets, old books, vintage postcards, and photographs. Searching for forgotten pictures can 27 new ideas and emotional revelations. You will also need glue and a pair of 28 . For the background, choose paper or card that suits your personal style, from a piece of white A5 to a leftover delivery box. Work with what you have! Follow your intuition Pick out your images 29 . “Don’t overthink it, or hold the end product in mind,” says Hazel. Drawing on psychotherapist Carl Jung’s theories about images as metaphors in healing, she advises: “Only choose something that resonates with you, sparking an emotional reaction, as this will give your collage substance.” You might be 30 to certain colours, textures, or details, as well as figures, words, or scenes. At this stage, tear out the pages which feature appealing pictures, and place them in a pile. Cut, slice, and tear Cut out your chosen images or experiment with tearing with your hands for rougher edges. This repetitive act requires concentration and is soothing. “Cutting will put you in a meditative space,” says Hazel, “as you stop thinking about 31 issues and exist in the present moment.” Play around with pictures Arrange, rearrange, and layer your images, testing different combinations. Without constraints, allow your intuition to guide you. This is the most expressive part of the process, so embrace it. Pin and paste Once you’re happy with the arrangement, glue it down. Small pins can also help keep your composition in 32 . Reflect on your collage Finally, take time to reflect upon your collage. Does the choice and arrangement of pictures hold 33 ? Days later, it may speak to you about feelings or thoughts that you didn’t realize were bubbling beneath the surface. Generally speaking, collage requires no special 34 skill. The pressure to make something “perfect” gradually disappears. Studies suggest that creative activities like collage can reduce anxiety and strengthen one’s sense of 35 . 21．A．innovative B．reflective C．intrusive D．passive 22．A．suspicion B．curiosity C．tension D．calm 23．A．In addition to B．In contrast to C．In spite of D．In place of 24．A．silence B．prompt C．obey D．question 25．A．combination B．composition C．conclusion D．complement 26．A．mental B．physiological C．physical D．visual 27．A．block B．spark C．spell D．underestimate 28．A．knives B．tools C．scissors D．devices 29．A．carefully B．logically C．randomly D．instinctively 30．A．forced B．drawn C．exposed D．introduced 31．A．internal B．personal C．external D．minor 32．A．order B．mind C．balance D．shape 33．A．popularity B．difficulty C．convenience D．significance 34．A．technical B．practical C．artistic D．professional 35．A．identity B．humor C．self D．responsibility Section B (22分) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. （A） Hatching a theory Just as dinosaurs characterized the cretaceous (白垩纪的) period, which ended with their extinction 66 million years ago, and mammals made up the Holocene (全新世), which extends to the present day, many scientists believe we need to designate (命名) a new geologic age, called the Anthropocene, that reflects the impact of humankind on the planet. That raises the question. What will constitute the most noticeable feature of the Anthropocene in the fossil record? It’s likely to be chicken bones, according to a study by Carys Bennett, from the U.K.’s University of Leicester, and colleagues published last month in Royal Society Open Science. Humans eat a lot of chicken, which means a lot of chicken bones are being buried, and many of them are likely to survive in fossilized form. According to Bennett’s paper, 65.8 billion chickens were slaughtered (屠宰) globally in 2016, and another 22.7 billion live birds await this fate today. The “biomass” of all poultry (家禽) is 10 times greater than of all wild birds put together. What’s more, growth in the consumption of chicken is outpacing that of all other forms of livestock. Since 1961, annual production of chickens has soared from less than 10 million metric tons to more than 100 million metric tons in 2016. “Chicken is the most commonly eaten meat worldwide, and their bones are components of house-hold trash,” says Bennett. “Industrial broiler (meat chicken) farms are spread around the world, and chickens are also buried at these sites.” We’re not just eating a lot of poultry, we’ve also put our mark on the birds themselves. Since chicken consumption started taking off in the 1950s, the size and shape of the species — their skeleton, bone chemistry and genetics — have changed radically from their wild ancestors. The rapid growth of chicken’s leg and breast muscle means that its organs, including the heart and liver, are proportionally smaller. We’ve shortened the life span of broiler chickens, which can no longer survive without “intensive human intervention,” the authors write. Because we engineered the species, and because it has become such a major feature of food consumption, it will be considered a marker of the Anthropocene, Bennett predicts. “The significance of the post-mid-20th-century chicken is that it is the first really good example we have of what paleontologists (古生物学家) call a new ‘morphospecies’ — that is, a distinctive kind of skeleton that can be identified as a fossil — that appeared in the Anthropocene (i.e., post-1950) and in that time became hugely abundant pretty well around the world,” she says. “In the future, humans will find and use chickens as a marker — or index species — of our age.” The age of chicken bones may be brief, however. Food producers such as Tyson and Perdue Farms are investing in plant-based replacements for chicken. “People are looking for food that is better for the environment, as well as their wallet,” says Bennett. “Times are changing.” 36．Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph? A．The Anthropocene is followed by the Holocene. B．Dinosaurs died out about 66 million years ago. C．Human beings dominate the period of the Holocene. D．Fossil records help scientists name each period. 37．What does the author mean by saying “we engineered the species” in paragraph 6? A．That there is much technology involved in the raising of chickens. B．That chicken industry has become an important food industry in the world. C．That humans have genetically modified the species to satisfy humans’ needs. D．That there are many artificial parts of the species compared with their wild ancestors. 38．Chicken has been the commonly eaten meat worldwide since ________. A．2016 B．1961 C．the 1900s D．the 1950s 39．Why can future generations know us by our chicken bones, according to Carys Bennett? A．Because chicken is an important marker to human beings. B．Because the only thing that may remain as fossil is chicken bones. C．Because man has engineered this species as a widely consumed food. D．Because chicken bones are being thrown and buried in large numbers. (B) The Puffing Billy Railway, located about 40 km east of Melbourne, was constructed in the early 1900s to open up remote areas.

(C) The rock dove, a bird native to Europe and Western Asia, is the ancestor of the common urban pigeon. Settlers introduced rock doves to North America in the 1600s for meat and, over time, these birds escaped domestication and grew well in urban areas. Cities have a lot to offer pigeons, as tall buildings and window shelves can serve as nesting sites for rock doves. Urban residents provide plenty of food for pigeons either intentionally by feeding pigeons birdseed or bread or unintentionally by leaving out food waste. In addition to human-sourced food, pigeons have a broad diet, including seeds, berries, and insects. Pigeon enthusiasts also set domesticated birds free into the urban environment, where they later bring forth young. Pigeons’ ability to reproduce year-round leads to highly numerous pigeons in the city, which is an issue for urban wildlife managers. Although pigeons are socially paired, they live in groups of up to 500 birds and this persistent congregation can cause considerable conflicts with people. To ease conflicts with pigeons, managers have used several methods to prevent pigeon presence or reduce pigeon numbers. Managers have used deadly tools such as poisons. However, this approach typically doesn’t have sustained results because the remaining pigeons multiply rapidly. Further, many poisons are not species-specific and may harm other urban birds. Other programs aimed at reducing nest success involve removing the eggs and replacing them with fake eggs. They often fail because it can be difficult to access nests or attract pigeons to nest houses. Preventing conflicts ultimately relies on removing food sources for urban pigeons. For example, many urban residents feed pigeons in parks. This could be limited through public education campaigns or by carrying out feeding regulations. 43．Which of the following is NOT a reason for the survival of pigeons in urban areas? A．Pigeon-friendly climate. B．Availability of habitats. C．Rich food supply. D．Freeing domesticated pigeons. 44．The word “congregation” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ________. A．introduction B．gathering C．reproduction D．nesting 45．From the sentence “this approach typically...” in the last paragraph, we can infer that the approach ________. A．needs to be used repeatedly B．is not effective in the long run C．reduces pigeon numbers greatly D．works when pigeons multiply 46．It can be concluded from the passage that ________. A．urban pigeons tend to act independently B．it is difficult for pigeons to adapt to cities C．stopping feeding pigeons is key to controlling their numbers D．alternative methods to reduce pigeon numbers are being explored Section C (8分) Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Optimize Your Sleep According to Statistics Canada, more than one third of Canadians are chronically sleep deprived — and that’s bad news for our brains, which perform worse after even a single night of inadequate rest. 47 Sleep is also crucial for encoding new impressions and knowledge into your long-term memory. In a University of California San Diego study, researchers found that well-rested participants remembered twice as many new vocabulary words as those who didn’t get enough sleep. And when it comes to our motor skills, they drop in speed by 20 per cent when we’ve underslept. If you’re having a difficult time getting the recommended seven to nine hours of shut-eye a night, doctors recommend assessing your sleep habits. Are you keeping to a schedule? 48 When you rise, open your blinds so the sun can kick-start your circadian rhythm, the inner clock that regulates your level of wakefulness throughout the day and night. Limit naps to 30 minutes a day. 49 Avoid caffeine after lunch. And while drinking alcohol before bedtime can help put you to sleep, it increases the chance you’ll wake up in the middle of the night. That’s because it increases the production of a chemical called adenosine, which makes you groggy — but only temporarily. When the adenosine wears off, you wake up. Do you make time for shutting down? Two hours before bedtime, stop using screens — the blue light they emit can confuse your body, causing it to produce less melatonin, a hormone that makes us sleepy. 50 Is your room conducive to sleep? Channel your ancient ancestors by thinking of your bedroom as a cave. It should be cool, dark and quiet. A．Don’t go to bed hungry or stuffed. B．Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. C．Instead, create a relaxing ritual to end your day, like reading or having a shower. D．Sleep cleans the brain of unneeded by-products from its daily functioning. E．What are you consuming? F．Why sleep matters? III. Summary Writing (10分) 51．Directions: 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. Working overtime has been common for employees in China’s internet sector for many years, but debate about the practice heated up recently after a blacklist of technology companies that push their staff to follow a “996” schedule went viral online. The blacklist is said to have been compiled by current and former employees of technology companies. As of Monday, 84 Chinese companies were on the blacklist, which claims employees are forced to follow a “996” schedule, under which work begins at 9 am and finishes at 9 pm, six days a week. “ If it’s ‘work more, pay more’ model, I’d be a lot more willing to follow the ‘996’ schedule. But the truth is, not every company is run that way. That’s why many people complain,” a software developer working in a gaming company based in Hangzhou, East China’s Zhejiang Province, told the Global Times on Wednesday. The online complaints and discussions also come amid young people’s changing attitudes toward life and work, and rising rights protection awareness. With improved living standards, more young people have adopted a “work hard, play hard” lifestyle, compared with the older generations’ “work to live” mind-set. While working hard, they are calling for more holidays, and believe holidays are their rights. “Bus we don’t know who we should resort to when it comes to all these holidays and payment issues, so we resort to the internet,” the developer said. “Sometimes when projects come along. I work seven days a week, I sometimes even sleep at the office,” the developer said. “I’m a game lover and I like my job, but I think I’m underpaid and my work is not appreciated.” Industry analysts noted that the hours required by the “996” model exceed the limits established in China’s Labor Contract Law. The culture of overtime is connected to the characteristics embedded in Chinese people - who are hard -working, diligent, and desirous of success. They are even willing to sacrifice some of their personal lives to achieve career success. This might be quite different and hard to be understood in European countries. Beyond China, most people in other East Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea also suffer from working overtime due to similar cultural elements. Working overtime has become a global phenomenon, and labor unions around the world should play an active role in seeking more ways to better protect workers’ rights amid an industrial upgrading. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.
