The WHO estimated there could be up to four million cases of Zika in the Americas this year, but the organization hasnt made any recommendations 23 (restrict) travel or trade.The last ti

13、me the WHO declared a public health emergency was for the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, _24 _ more than 11,000 people were killed. Similar declarations were made for polio (小儿麻痹症)in 2013 and swine flu in 2009. Such emergency declarations are meant as_ 25 _ international SOS signal. They usually lea

So far, there have been no effective treatments or vaccines for the virus. Michael Osterholm, an American public health expert, said i

15、t was still unclear _27 _Zika had evolved since it first appeared in Africa. But he added hat even minor genetic changes _28_ have serious consequences.Osterholm said it was important for the WHO to act quickly, _29_ the lack of definitive evidence. “For situations like this, you have to have a no r

Fill

23、 in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.How are “global” students different from “glocal” students, and how is their mobility likely to take shape in future?To answer the above question, I am adapting and extending the results of a previous research study published by World

24、 Education Services. The research_41_four different groups or segments of U.S.-bound international students based on their academic preparedness and financial resources: Strivers, Strugglers, Explorers and Highfliers.With the growth of transnational education models, including validation of degrees,

25、 franchise programs, online degrees, branch campuses and now MOOCs, these four groups of international students may be further _42_ by two primary subgroups: “global” and “ glocal.”“Global” students comprise Highfliers and Strugglers, who will not_43_ the value of studying abroad, due to their stron

26、g desire for achievement or emigration, respectively.Thus, _44_destinations like the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia will continue to attract this segment. Alternative pathways to foreign education through transnational education will not be appealing to “global ” students.In contras

27、t, “ glocal” students comprise Explorers and Strivers who have the_45_ to study abroad in popular destinations like the U.S., the U.K. or Australia, but cannot due to their low academic or financial resources respectively.These students are_46_to other forms of engaging with transnational education.

28、 “Glocal” students are different from “ global” ones, as they would like to earn the social prestige and career_47_offered by foreign education without having to go very far from home.Both “glocal” and “ global” segments will grow in the medium term, but the “glocal” one is expected to grow at a 48

29、pace due to a greedy appetite for foreign education, and expanding middle-class in emerging economies ,and technological innovation.On the other hand, the “global” segment will grow at a slower pace due to a shift in institutional_49_ or self-funded students at undergraduate level and the increasing

30、 cost and competition for recruiting international students.Transnational educational models also face several growth problems, including qualitative challenges_50_from credentials issues with MOOCs to regulatory and funding complexity with branch campuses, which may _51_ influence the expectations

31、of “glocal” students and therefore growth.Of course, not all international students can be boxed into this framework. However, the intention is to provide a broad framework for institutions to_52 _the shift that is occurring in the competitive landscape and to help them make the best strategic choic

The success of these shows is a clear indication of the strong appeal of the cookery expe

37、rience to people. Whether its recipe instructions, review of a restaurant or coverage （专访） of a chef, people are hungry to find out more about the food they eat.One of the latest entries among the food programs is the Emmy-nominated Award Netflix series, Chefs Table, which features more than just wa

38、ys to prepare fine food. Viewers tune in to each episode （ 一 集 ）to hear a personal story from a distinguished chef. Each chefs tale is heart-touching with their own unique life experience. Take American chef Grant Achatz for example. The journey to operating one of the highest ranked restaurants in

39、North America took a very personal turn. In 2007, Achatz was diagnosed with mouth cancer and lost his sense of taste. Amazingly, he regained it, and has gone on to pioneer a new progressive American style of cooking.Each chef has his own fascinating story, and the series highlights an important comm

40、on thread among them: culture. Because food is so connected with the culture it comes from, each chef represents whatever traditions and cooking techniques theyve come out of. They combine their cultures traditional cooking with new tastes. In fact, many chefs work tirelessly at redefining an entire

41、 cultures expectation for eating.Despite having a number of unconventional elements associated with their cooking, one thing is clear： Cooking is an incredibly meaningful experience for each chef.

55、be preserved as official “space wilderness” to protect planets, moons and other heavenly bodies from rampant ( 猖 獗 的 ) mining and other forms of industrial exploitation, scientists say.The proposal calls for more than 85% of the solar system to be placed off-limits to human development, leaving no m

56、ore than an eighth for space firms to mine for precious metals, minerals and other materials. While the limit would protect pristine worlds from the worst excesses of human activity , its primary goal is to ensure that humanity avoids a catastrophic( 灾 难 性 的 ) future in which all of the resources wi

57、thin its reach are permanently used up.“If we dont think about this now, we will go ahead as we always have, and in a few hundred years we will face an extreme crisis, much worse than we have on Earth now,” said Martin Elvis, a senior astrophysicist at the Simthsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Ca

58、mbridge, Massachusetts. “Once youve exploited the solar system, theres nowhere left to go.” Fledgling space mining companies have set their sights on trillions of pounds worth of iron and precious metals locked up in asteroids (小行星)，along with valuable minerals and trillions of tonnes of water on th

59、e moon.In Britain, the Asteroids Mining Corporation hopes to send a satellite into orbit in the comingyears to prospect for nearby asteroids. Much of the mined material would be used in space to build habitats on the moon and make rocket fuel.With Tony Milligan, a philosopher at Kings College London

60、, Elvis analysed how soon humans might use up the solar systems most accessible resources should space mining take off. They found that an annual growth rate of 3.5% would use up an eighth of the solar systems realistic resources in 400 years. At that point, humanity would have only 60 years to appl

61、y the brakes and avoid exhausting the supply completely.Because humans may struggle to mine the sun, or extract useful materials from the gas giant Jupiter, the researchers see a steroids, the moon, Mars and other rocky planets as the most realistic targets for space miners.But which areas are prote

62、cted from mining is a subtle decision, the scientists write in the forthcoming issue of Acta Astronautica. The Valles Marinerison Mars, the largest canyon in the solar system, might deserve protection much as the Grand Canyon is protected on Earth. But there are other sites too, said Elvis. “Do we w

63、ant cities on the near side of the moon that light up at night? Would that be inspiring or horrifying ? And what about the rings of Saturn? They are beautiful, almost pure water ice. Is it OK to mine those so that in 100 years they are gone?”“If everything goes right, we could be sending our first m

64、ining missions into space within 10 years,” he added. “Once it starts and somebody makes an enormous profit, there will be the equivalent of a gold rush.”63.What is the ultimate aim of the proposal that calls for the preservation of much of the solar system?A.To prevent space firms making huge profi

68、e by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A.If Lego is mirroring, its reflecting a better world.B.Lego is behind disabled kids and they are part of the cultural mainstream.C Everyone knows theres something wrong wi

69、th how we represent disabled people.D.Has Lego been prepared for the excitement its wheelchair-using boy would cause?E.Their hopes, dreams, imaginations and experience are ignored.F.The message behind Legos wheelchair boy is so much larger than his tiny stature.A Marked Shift in Toy BoxesSometimes t

70、he smallest of things have the biggest of impacts. Last week Lego showed its first ever wheelchair-using mini-figure at a toy fair in Germany. For an inch-tall plastic boy, hes been making big waves, inspiring global press coverage and online celebrations from Lego fans, parents and disability group

71、s.“But hes just a little guy，” some may say, “a plastic guy out for a wheel in the park with his dog and a bunch of other mini-figures. Whats the big deal?” _67_ His birth in the toy box marks a significant shift within childrens industries. There are 150 million children with disabilities worldwide

72、, yet until now they have scarcely ever seen themselves positively reflected in the media and toys they consume.In her recently published book Disability and Popular Culture , Australian academic Katie Ellis writes: “Toys mirror the values of the society that produce them. ” _68_ Whether intentional

73、ly or not, it has sent out a powerful message of inclusion.The toys, TV，films, games, apps and books that entertain and educate our children barely feature children with any kind of impairment or difference. When did you last see disability represented positively in a childrens film, cartoon, or com

74、puter game? Have you ever seen a set of emojis that reflect the disabled experience? Then, how could disabled children gain positive self-esteem when the culture around them appears to place no value on their existence?_69 _There is a danger that these children will feel like permanent outsider in t

75、he world. _70_ However, it seems no one knows quite how to fix it. We dance delicately around disability, scared to offend or get it wrong, so we dont do it. This exclusion is causing damage to millions of children, yet the answer is quite simple. Lets hope that one day, positive representations of

76、disability are included so seamlessly across childrens industries that they cease to be noteworthy at all.IV.Summary Writing (10 分 )71 Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

77、Early Adopters Fall into a Costly TrapBeing among the first to try out a new piece of technology is cool. When youre the only member of your social circle with the latest hot device, people stare in fascination. However, people tend to underestimate the costs of this temporary coolness, which they p

78、ay in more ways than one.Frankly speaking, early adoption is a bad investment. The earliest version of devices are not only expensive, they are also the most expensive that those devices will ever be. Companies are attempting to recover the cost of production as fast as they can, and once the profit

79、s from early adopters purchases are safely in their hands, they can cut the price and shift to the next marketing stage: selling the product to everyone else. This is why the cost of the original IPhone dropped about $200 only eight months after its release.Those who are first to leap into a new tec

80、hnology also risk wasting money and time on something that will never catch on. In 2006, HD DVDs, a new format ( 制 式 ) for video, entered the market. A few eager consumers bought HD DVD player that were discontinued in early 2008. the early adopters were then stuck with pricey devices that just sat

81、on their shelves collecting dust. Another good reason to resist the early adoption temptation is that the first version of a product typically has imperfections. For example, when Microsofts game machine, Xbox One, was first released in 2013, users immediately began to complain of problems. Devoted

82、gamers worked to find and share solutions to these issues. Such problems are so common with new technology that early adopters are basically unpaid testers.So dont join the first wave of consumers who invest in the latest version of device; instead, wait and see.V.Translation (3+3+4+5， 共 15 分 )Direc

So Im writing to suggest a program named “All
