18、 the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years.

His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the

19、 will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was hit by the lightning. Passers-by thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in

20、muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly

21、 ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happe

22、ned. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.31.

They use satellite images to find and explore ancient sites around the globe.

32、Now theyre about to take on a new challenge as they focus Global Xplorer citizen-science project on India.In 2017, Parcak launched an online platform, called Global Xplorer, to crowdsource (众包) the initial assessment of satellite images for signs of cultures from long ago. Anyone in the world with a

33、 computer and Internet access could help discover and protect remains of Perus rich cultural heritage. The results have been surprising. About 80,000 participants from a hundred countries have identified 19,000 sites that were not in Perus database. The platform for Peru is still running.If all goes

34、 well, the work in India could last for years. India has had relatively little archaeological work done, Parcak says. Also, the full extent of Indias archaeological work has never been mapped completely. Parcak expects her project to make up for that. Wherever we end up going, the crowds going to be

35、 able to see extraordinary things, Parcak says.Thirty-six Indias cultural heritage relics are already listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Parcak thinks there could be tens of thousands of as yet unknown sites mapped as part of this project. The discoveries promise to be amazing across the land th

36、at has seen a parade of cultures come and go.In the future, she hopes other countries will contact her to launch their own satellite surveys. The possibilities are huge.

More archaeological sites will be identified.DIntegrityIntegrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of int

41、egrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take u

42、p particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives o

43、f all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are corrupt, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.On the other hand, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.

44、 Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing trait

45、s of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.However, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions

46、about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who on

47、e is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what ones society is and imagining what it could be.Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors deci

48、sive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.41. Individual integrity has been valued in society because _. A. it helps develop philosophy B. it is the basis of critical thinking C. it is important to social relations D. it ensures peoples particular roles42. The underli

49、ned word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. strengthening B. destroying C. assessing D. influencing43. The writer believes that _.A. social structures guide the formation of individual integrity B. the nature of society is decided by economic developmentC. the pursuit of individual in

50、tegrity changes with timeD. individual integrity depends on what one believes 44. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage? A. B. C. D.CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C：Conclusion第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Mind Your “Qs”

51、Both IQ and EQ are considered important to our career success. 45 Lets enter adaptability quotient (AQ), a subjective set of qualities loosely defined as the ability to thrive in an environment of fast and frequent change.Every profession will require adaptability and flexibility. Say you are an acc

52、ountant. Your IQ gets you through the examinations to get an offer. Your EQ helps you connect with an interviewer, land a job, and develop relationships with clients and colleagues. 46 All three quotients are somewhat complementary (互补的), since they all help you solve problems and therefore adapt. A

53、n ideal candidate possesses all three, but not everyone does. 47 While there is no definite method of measuring adaptability like an IQ test, companies are changing their recruitment processes to help identify people who may be high in it.Natalie Fratto, a vice-president at Goldman Sachs, suggests t

54、hree ways AQ might show in potential candidates: if they can picture possible versions of the future by asking “what if questions”; if they can forget information to challenge presumptions（假定）; and if they enjoy exploration or seeking out new experiences. 48 First, limit distractions and learn to fo

55、cus so that you can determine what adaptations to make. Second, ask uncomfortable questions to develop courage and normalize fear. Third, be curious about things that fascinate you by having more conversations rather than Googling the answer, something that reduces your ability to solve difficult ch

56、allenges.Over the next three years, 120 million people in the worlds largest economies may need to be reskilled because of automation, according to a 2019 IBM study. 49 The ability to learn, change, grow, experiment will become far more important than subject expertise.A. AQ is now increasingly bein

57、g sought at the hiring level.B. One good thing about AQ is that experts say you can work to develop it.C. We may not all be comfortable with the pace of change, but we can prepare.D. This is because an algorithm (算法) can do these tasks faster and more accurately than a human.E. But today, as technol

58、ogy redefines how we work, the skills needed in the job market are developing too.F. Having IQ but no EQ would leave you struggling to accept new ways of working using your existing skills.G. Then, when systems change or aspects of work are automated, you will need AQ to adapt to new ways of perform

Wh

60、at factors give some people a stronger immune system than others, regardless of age? We know that our immune systems slowly decline as we age. The difference in rate of decline between individuals is one of sciences big mysteries. The immune system is complex, but most of us understand the basics: O

61、ur bodies detect an intruder（入侵者） a virus or bacterium, and produce white blood cells to combat the problem. No one knows why our bodies dont produce as many immune cells as we get older. Researchers got some insights, especially regarding T cells, which are white blood cells that attack viruses. We

62、 possess two broad categories of T cells: “memory” cells that have encountered a certain pathogen（衣原体）and “remember” how to fight it. The other is “nave” cells, which have yet to fight anything. As we age, it seems that the number of nave T cells decreases.And those are exactly the cells needed to r

63、ecognize newly emerging microorganisms like the Covid-19 virus. This means that when that virus something our immune systems havent seen before shows up, most of us dont have memory T cells to use, so the nave cells have to take on the fight. Since older folks have fewer nave cells to fight with, as

64、 a group they are more vulnerable. The reasons why these key cells decline over time could be various and genetics plays a part. But its debatable how big a part compared with environment and lifestyle.Chronic low-grade inflammation (炎症) that develops with advanced age can also affect the immune sys

65、tem. Lifestyle factorspoor sleep, ongoing stress, and weight gain are common causes, as are systemic issues such as autoimmune diseases and decreased liver or kidney function. This inflammation causes the immune system to operate abnormally, which accelerates the aging process and can cause many oth

66、er diseases. While you cant do anything about your genetic makeup, slowing it down can mean a higher immune reserve when you need it most. Fortunately, many factors that positively affect your immune system are within your control, including regular workouts and eating properly. Regular workouts boo

67、st immune function and lower inflammation. Exercises strengthen the body and may be the most important lifestyle intervention (干预) you can add. Eating right and avoiding obesity, whose inflammatory effect is deadly, are common sense. Besides, research has shown that stress can speed immune senescenc

68、e (衰老). Self-care in this area is critical, from anti-stress activities to asking for help in unresolved stressful situations.The pandemic has changed peoples lives and it will lead to a new era in immunity research. If we can do a wider search rather than chase after individual diseases, we will ha

69、ndle all immune challenges better.50. How does the immune system work? 51. Why are the old considered more vulnerable?52. Paraphrase the underlined sentence “But its debatable how big a part compared with environment and lifestyle.”53. Explain how the Covid-19 pandemic has changed your lifestyle. (a
