32、D. protect the educational cavesBI must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.Carl Walter was my piano teacher.

33、 During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?”“I try to.”“Well, dont.” he exclaimed. “When you grow up, time wont come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five

34、 or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life.”When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years

35、 I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week

36、I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano-playing again, finding that the small in

37、tervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.There is an important trick in this time-using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you cant afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparat

38、ions beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walt

39、er has had a great influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge in without delay.54. What is the best title of this passage?A. Concentrate on Your WorkB. Good AdviceC. How I Became a WriterD. A Little at a Time55

40、. Which of the following statements is true?A. The writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches.B. The writer didnt take the teachers words to heart at first.C. Carl Walter has had a great influence on the writers life since he became a student.D. Rapid concentr

41、ation is actually more difficult than most people imagine.56. The underlined part “counted on” can be replaced by _.A. expectedB. concentratedC. valuedD. enriched57. We can infer that the writer _.A. can find sufficient time for mental preparations in advance, so hes devoted to work instantlyB. is a

43、 the ability to sense oxygen through our skin.Amphibians, animals such as frogs that can live both on land and in water, have long been known to be able to breath through their skin. In fact, the first known lungless frog that breathes only through its skin was discovered recently in the rivers of B

44、orneo.Now the same oxygen sensors found in frog skins and in the lungs of mammals (哺乳动物) have unexpectedly been discovered in the skin of mice.“No one had ever looked,” explained Randall Johnson, a biologist researcher.Mice and frogs are quite distant relatives, so the fact they have these molecules

45、 (分子) in common in their skin suggests they might well be found in the skin of other mammals, such as humans.“We have no reason to think that they are not in the skin of people too,” Johnson said.These molecules not only detect oxygen, but help increase levels of vital red blood cells, which carry o

46、xygen around the body. Normal mice breathing in air that is 10 percent oxygena dangerously low level similar to conditions at the top of Mount Everest, and about half that of air at sea level. However, mice that had the oxygen sensor HIF-1a genetically removed from their skin failed to produce this

47、hormone (荷尔蒙) even after hours of such low oxygen.These findings, if they hold true in humans, suggest one could raise the level of oxygen circulating inside the body. This could help treat lung diseases and disorders such as anemia (贫血症) without injecting drugs, which make up a multibillion-dollar

48、market, Johnson said.Athletes also often try to get more oxygen delivered to their muscles in order to improve their performance. They often do this by training at high altitudes or in low-oxygen tents. The new study suggests they might want to expose their skin as well as breathing in low-oxygen ai

49、r to improve their performance. “Its hard to say what exactly might be done, howevertheres a lot we dont know yet,” Johnson explained.The scientists detailed their findings in the April 18 issue of the journal Cell.58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Johnson bel

50、ieves that Oxygen sensors also exist in human skin.B. People have to surf the Internet to read detailed findings.C. It has been proved that these findings help treat lung diseases.D. It has long been expected oxygen sensors exist in mices skin.59. One of the functions of the molecules mentioned abov

51、e is _.A. carrying oxygen around the bodyB. improving athletes performanceC. detecting oxygenD. increasing level of oxygen60. What is Johnsons attitude to the application of the findings to the athletes training?A. Negative B. Doubting C. Positive D. Hesitating61. The best title of the passage may b

52、e _.A. Great Findings Benefits Athletes A LotB. Frogs And Mice Are Distant RelativesC. First Known Animal Breathes Through SkinD. Humans Might Sense Oxygen Through SkinDHumankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civilization. Back then, as well as today, provid

53、ing food and security was the basic task for a person. However, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantly. People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as a piece of bread and a roof over their heads, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humani

54、ty with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost unavoidably associated with environmental damage.Economic growth is the increase in numbers of goods and services

55、 produced over time by an economy and it is calculated in terms of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Before growth is calculated, inflation (通货膨胀)is adjusted in order to take into account its misleading effect on the price of goods and services. Economic growth can also be explained as the increase

56、 in expected output, which results from an increase in actual output, or total demand.There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment. The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial pla

57、nts is required. These plants produce a lot of waste, leading to the pollution of water and the atmosphere, which may cause negative long term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people. They also lead to global warming.Industrial manufacturing leads to the constantly increasing ener

58、gy consumption. The traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment. There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy. They are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time

59、, during which people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings.In order to produce economically practical energy, a sometimes significant transformation of the natural site is often inevitable. This is expensive and, has harmful effects on the environment. Application of wind energ

60、y would block airflows natural speed which is the reason for their decrease in strength, after crossing the windmill. Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly af

61、fected by atmospheric pressure.For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental damage, whatsoever, is impossible.62. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Pollution caused by plant construction.B. Effects of windmills on the environment.C. Economic growth a

62、nd human civilization.D. Economic growth and environmental damage.63. What does the underlined word “They” in the third paragraph refer to?A. Goods and productsB. The industrial plantsC. Water and atmosphereD. Negative health effects64. According to the passage, the author holds the opinion that _.A

63、. economic growth should be calculated in terms of GDPB. use of natural resources causes no damage to the environmentC. industrial manufacturing may cause damage to the environmentD. a windmill is a perfect way to produce economically practical energy65. Which of the following shows the structure of

64、 the passage?A. B. C. D. CP ( Central Point) P (Point) Sp (Sub-point次要点) C (Conclusion)第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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。Reflect on our relation with natureUK physicist Isaac Newton once said, “ _66_.” Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings n

65、eed if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out (迅猛攻击) at us.The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. _67_ and probably has an intermediate host(中间宿主). Its said t

66、hat the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, “This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale (规模)

67、, human population density (密度), wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病).”In the ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe(敬畏地). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part

68、of humans. _68_However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and odd animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually

69、 lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance._69_, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said its time for people to “reflect on our relationship with our planet” and “reconnect with this world and everything that weve been given”. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, “_70_”A. Nature is no

70、t the place to visit. Its our home.B. Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy(虚伪).C. Chinese ancients always lived in harmony with nature and human beings.D. It reminds us that the past outbreaks did severe damage to the human societyE. Although we dont know for sure what first caus

Some students argue that tourists shouldnt have accessto university campuses. They

83、 think the tourists visiting the campuses will make it harder for students to focus on their studies. Worse still, with so many tourists entering the campuses, some safety problems will probably arise. However, others hold opposite opinions. They insist that this can bring students and society close

Besides, some universities have become a symbol of social civilization and people should be given the chance to experience the atmosphere. As far as Im concerned, several factors should be considered before opening university campuses to t

85、ourists. First, campuses should only be open to tourists on weekends or during holidays. Second, the number of tourists should be strictly limited to guarantee safety.
