17、ction ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.The Year in a Word

18、or TwoCan anybody describe a year with only one word? Each December, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) nominates（提名）a word todescribe the very year (21) _ has just passed. 2020 was a very unusual year that was really worthy (22) _ (describe) with two words.Two of the obvious words the OED suggeste

19、d were“pandemic (疫情)”and“lockdown,” due tomost ofhuman activities across the globe (23) _ (bring) to a stop by the life-threatening disease.Businesses have been closed and people have had to stay in theirhomes for weeks or even months on end.(24) _ I would like to nominate“cooperation”and“hope”asmyw

20、ords of the year because it is supposed to be described in a more positive and (25) _ (helpless) way, because there was agreat deal of cooperation between countries andinternational health organizations. China took a leading role in thiseffort by sending masks and protective clothingto Canada, the U

21、nited States and Europe, (26) _ _ _ to countries in the Middle East and Africa.Without this cooperation, the pandemic, bad (27) _it has been, could have been much worse.And that brings me to my second word: hope.We are beginning to see the light at theend of the tunnel, and, with alittle“hope,”we wi

22、ll get to see the world begin to return tonormal.For young people, itwas the first time that they (28) _ (experience) something big, a worry that they shared withtheir families, friends and neighbors, and a suffering (29) _ (endure) at this moment and to be endured next few weeks. Andthey also learn

23、ed that“hope”the beliefthat(30) _ you will see tomorrow will be better than todayis at theheart of every human being.With“cooperation” and“hope,”2021 should make for awonderful year.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note

24、that there is one word more than you need. A. mobility B. concerning C. joblessness D. upcoming E. unemployed F. automated G. deliberately H. inequality I. quoted J. assumed K. significantlyWill a Robot Really Take Your Job?It is one of the most widely quoted data of recentyears. No report or confer

25、ence presentation on the future of work iscomplete without it. It has been pointed to as evidence of a(n) _31_ jobs disaster by think-tanks and government agencies. The finding that 47 percent of Americanjobs are at high risk of being _32_ by the mid-2030scomes from a paper written by twoOxford acad

26、emics, Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne. It hassince been _33_in more than 4,000 other academic articles. Suchmisunderstandings reflect the polarized (两极分化的) debate _34_ the nature of automation and the future of jobs.At one extreme are the negativists. They warn ofmass technological _35_ just

27、 around the corner. One advocateofthis position, Martin Ford, has written two best-selling books on thedangers of unemployment caused by automation. He worries that middle-class jobs will disappear, economic _36_ will cease, and the richest people in acountry could “shut themselves away in gated com

28、munities, perhapsguarded by self-directed military robots and drones.”The _37_ masses will live on a universal basic income.At the positive end of the debate, classical economists argue thatin the past, new technology has always ended up creating more jobsthan it has destroyed. It was several decade

29、s beforeindustrialization led to _38_ higher wages for British workers inthe early 1800s. Whileautomation is likely to increase_39_in the short run by pushingsome people into lower-paid jobs, it eventually increases the overallsize of the economic pie.Frey is often _40_ to be in the first camp. His

30、paper simply wanted to point out that 47 percent of thecurrent jobs in America were more likely to be affected by automation. It got more attention than they would ever have expected. In part, this is because fearsells, particularly when it is stirred up by a misunderstanding.III. Reading Comprehens

31、ionSection ADirections: 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.Is Tap Water Safe to Drink?Tap water is not without its problems. More recently, the Michigan City of Flint has

32、been struggling with high lead (铅) levels in its drinking water. Over the years people have witnessed major _41_of groundwater pollution leading to unhealthy tap water.The nonprofitEnvironmental Working Group (EWG)detected some260 pollutants in public water supplies in 42 states and faulted the U.S.

33、 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for _42_ to establish standards on so many of the pollutants from industry, agriculture, and urban rivers that do end up in our water. Despite these seemingly _43_ statistics, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), which has also conducted a series of _4

34、4_ tests on municipal (市政的) water supplies as well as bottled water, says, “In the short term, if you are an adult with no special health _45_, and you are not pregnant, then you can drink most cities tap water without having to worry.” This is because most of the pollutants in public water supplies

35、 exist at such small concentrations that most people would have to _46_ very large quantities for health problems to occur. _47_, look at your water bottles carefully. Its common for them to list the source as “municipal”, which means you paid for what _48_ is bottled tap water. “Pregnant women, you

36、ng children, the elderly, people with chronic illnesses and those with weakened immune systems can be vulnerable (脆弱的) to the risks posed by polluted water,” NRDC does _49_, however. The group suggests that anyone who may be at risk obtain a copy of their citys annual water quality report and review

37、 it with their _50_. As for bottled water, 25 to 30 percent of it comes straight from municipal tap water systems, despite the pretty nature _51_ on the bottles that imply otherwise. Some of that water goes through additional filtering (过滤), but some does not. Whats more, bottled water is required t

38、o be _52_less frequently than tap water for bacteria and chemical pollutants, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration bottled water rules allow for some pollution by E. coli (大肠杆菌), _53_ to EPA tap water rules that prohibit any such pollution. Also, NRDC found that there are no _54_ for bottled water

39、to be disinfected or tested for parasites (寄生虫), unlike more strict EPA rules regulating tap water. This leaves the possibility _55_, says NRDC, that some bottled water may present similar health threats to those with weakened immune systems. 41. A. casesB. patternsC. modelsD. modes42.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choo

43、se the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Each generation - from Baby Boomers to Generation X to Millennials - has its own set of values and characteristics. But one thing common to all generations is that they are suffering from stress. In a

44、recent poll by the American Psychological Association (APA), all age groups now report higher levels of stress than in the past. Baby Boomers (those born roughly between 1946 and 1964, and who are now moving into their retirement years) said that they are stressed about earnings and health issues. G

45、en Xers (born roughly between 1965 and 1980) are concerned about work, income, and job stability. However, Millennials (born roughly between 1981 and 2004) are turning out to be the most stressed-out of all the generations. Poll results indicate that stress levels for these younger respondents are s

46、ignificantly above average. So whats worrying the Millennials?Millennials are the first generation to grow up with computers in the home and the classroom. Due to the rise of modern technology and social media, they are constantly showered with information. Over time, this information overload can b

47、ecome too much to handle and can result in stress, which in turn can cause serious physical, psychological, and emotional problems. Another contributing factor, according to author Michael D. Hais, is that many Millennials have lived sheltered lives due to overprotective parents. These young adults

48、lack problem-solving skills and may struggle with fear of failure once they leave home. Making matters worse, the 2008 economic depression occurred when many Millennials were graduating from high school or college. The resulting economic slowdown reduced the number of available jobs for graduates. S

49、ure enough, in the APA poll, Millennials said that work, money, relationships, family responsibilities, and the economy are the main stressors in their lives.However, the poll results may be a bit misleading as they dont take into account public attitudes toward stress and mental illness. Ronald Kes

50、sler of Harvard Medical School, who has studied the prevalence (流行) of mental disorders in the U.S., points out that changes in social attitudes have helped reduce the stigma attached to mental illness over the years. For example, the creation of health-related television programming and specialty m

51、agazines such as Psychology Today have contributed to greater public awareness of mental health issues. According to psychologists, younger people now are more willing to admit to them that they are under stress than in the past. “There is not a lot of evidence of true prevalence having gone up,” Ke

52、ssler says. “It looks like younger people are in worse shape, but unfortunately, we just dont know.”56. It can be learned from the results of the APA poll that _.A. All age groups are experiencing more stress than beforeB. Millennials have more stress than before, but other age groups arentC. Compar

53、ed with other age groups, Millennials have more overprotective parentsD. Stress levels are down for all age groups, but theyre down the most for Millennials57. _ is a cause of worry across all generations.A. Health B. Occupation C. Money D. Weak economy58. Whats the possible meaning of the underline

54、d word “stigma” in the last paragraph?A. Behavior. B. Shame. C. Symptom. D. Complexity.59. According to the passage, what can be inferred about the young people today compared to the past?A. They fail to keep good body shape.B. They are more interested in health-related media.C. They are more willin

55、g and courageous to face up to their fault.D. They are more willing to seek professional help to deal with stress. (B)Bacteria are the one of the main food poisoners. So, to get food on the table safely, you need to know and follow the rules for food care. KEEP FOOD HOTHigh food temperatures (165F t

56、o 212F) reached in boiling, baking, frying, and roasting kill most food poisoning bacteria. If you want to delay serving cooked food, though, you have to keep it at a holding temperature roughly 140F to 165F. Steam tables and chafing dishes are designed to maintain holding temperatures. But they don

57、t always keep food hot enough. So its not wise to leave hot food out more than 2 hours. When cooked food is left out unheated, the possibility of bacterial growth is greater, since the food quickly drops to room temperature where food poisoners multiply. To serve hot foods safely particularly meat a

58、nd poultry, which are highly affected by food poisoning follow these rules: Cook thoroughly Cook meat and poultry to the “doneness” temperatures given in the above chart. To make sure that meat and poultry are cooked all the way through, use a meat thermometer (温度计). Insert the tip into the thickest

59、 part of the meat, avoiding fat or bone. Dont interrupt cooking Cook meat and poultry completely at one time. Partial cooking may encourage bacterial growth before cooking is complete. Cooking frozen food Allow frozen food more time to cook generally 1.5 times the period required for food that has b

60、een thawed (解冻). 60. At what temperature do bacteria grow the fastest?A. 40C 60C. B. 60F125F. C. 40C 140C. D. 125F140F.61. To keep food safe, it is suggested that _.A. hot food should not be left out over two hoursB. frozen food should be thawed with a microwave ovenC. raw ham should be cooked to th

61、e “doneness” temperature at 71FD. steam tables and chafing dishes should be used to keep food hot enough62. What can be learned according to the guideline? A. The only way to ensure food safety is to keep it hot enough.B. High food temperatures above 74C destroy most poisoning bacteria.C. Compared w

62、ith goose, ground beef should be cooked to higher temperatures.D. Insert the tip of a thermometer into the thickest part of the fat to control the temperature.(C)“A writers job is to tell the truth,” said Hemingway in 1942. No other writer of our time had so fiercely stated, or so consistently (一贯地)

63、 illustrated the writers duty to speak truly. His standard of truth-telling remained, moreover, so high and so strict that he was ordinarily unwilling to admit secondary evidence, whether literary evidence or evidence picked up from other sources than his own experience. “I only know what I have see

64、n”, was a statement which came often to his lips and pen. What he had personally done, or what he knew unforgettably by having gone through one version of it, was what he was interested in telling about. The primary intention of his writing, from first to last, was to seize and project for the reade

65、r what he often called “the way it was”. This is a characteristically simple phrase for a concept of extraordinary complexity, and Hemingways concept of its meaning subtly (微妙地) changed several times in the course of his career always in the direction of greater complexity. At the core of the concep

66、t, however, one can invariably recognize the operation of three instruments of beauty appreciation: the sense of place, the sense of fact, and the sense of scene. The first of these, obviously a strong passion with Hemingway, is the sense of place. “Unless you have geography, background,” he once to

67、ld George Antheil, “you have nothing.” You have, that is to say, a dramatic vacuum. Few writers have been more place-conscious. Few have so carefully charted out the geographical ground work of their novels while managing to keep background so unnoticeable. Few, accordingly, have been able to record

68、 more economically and graphically the way it is when you watch the bulls running through the streets of Pamplona, Spain towards the bull-ring.“When I woke it was the sound of the rocket exploding that announced the release of the bulls. Down below the narrow street was empty. All the balconies were

69、 crowded with people. Suddenly a crowd came down the street. They were all running, packed close together. They passed along and up the street toward the bull-ring and behind them came more men running faster, and then some stragglers (落后者) who were really running. Behind them was a little bare spac

70、e, and then the bulls tossing their heads up and down. It all went out of sight around the corner. One man fell, rolled to the gutter (排水沟), and lay quiet. But the bulls went right on and did not notice him. They were all running together.”63. Whats the main idea of the first two paragraphs? A. Hemi

71、ngways writing began from reality and then he would let his mind wander.B. Hemingways primary purpose in writing was to report faithfully reality as he experienced it.C. Hemingways writing reflects his preference for a simple story that the reader would thoroughly enjoy. D. Hemingway would construct

72、 a story that would reflect truths that were not particular to a specific historical period.64. It can be inferred from the passage that Hemingway preferred _ as the sources for his work.A. Stories that he had experienced rather than read aboutB. Stories that he had read about in newspapers or other

73、 sourcesC. Stories that he had heard from friends or chance acquaintancesD. Stories that came to him in periods of deep thinking or in dreams65. The author calls “the way it was” a “characteristically simple phrase for a concept of extraordinary complexity” because _.A. it shows how Hemingway unders

74、tated complex issues in his booksB. it reflects Hemingways talent for making ordinary events difficult to understandC. Hemingways obsession for geographic details overshadowed the dramatic element of his storiesD. the relationship between simplicity and complexity reflected the relationship between

75、the style and content of Hemingways writing66. Why does the author include an except (节选) from in the last paragraph?A. To vividly illustrate how exciting the bull run is.B. To demonstrate that all kinds of runners can take part in the bull run.C. To show Hemingways delicate description of the backg

76、round of the bull run. D. To place greater emphasis on the importance of geography, economically speaking.Section C 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

77、 need. A. From there, have them decide who will complete what tasks. B. Assign leadership roles of varying importance to every member of a group to help all individuals practice leading.C. Often, leaders of the group are also the ones that make most of the decisions. D. Sometimes these are minor and

78、 easily handled, but other times they can rip a team apart if improperly managed.E. Overall, 61% of cooperative-learning classes achieved significantly higher test scores than traditional classes. F. These opportunities can be found in cooperative learning, which differs from traditional learning wh

79、ere students work independently.Benefits of Cooperative LearningIn the classroom teachers should deliberately create opportunities for students to cooperate with each other, share responsibilities, solve problems, and control conflict. (67) _ Cooperative learning activities require students to work

80、together in small groups to complete a project or activity, operating as a team to help each other succeed. You may be wondering what benefits students gain from cooperative learning. The answer is many! Cooperative learning, of course, teaches a number of social and emotional skills, but it also gi

81、ves students the opportunity to learn from each other. The following skills that are developed through regular and effective cooperative learning are just a few of many. In order for a cooperative learning group to succeed, individuals within the group need to show leadership abilities. Without this

82、, the group cannot move forward without a teacher. Natural leaders become quickly evident in small groups, but most students dont naturally want to lead. (68) _ Also, effective teamwork requires good communication and commitment. All members of a cooperative learning group have to learn to speak pro

83、ductively with one another to stay on track. By teaching students to share confidently, listen carefully, and speak clearly, they learn to value the input of their teammates and the quality of their work soars. Conflicts are bound to arise in any group setting. (69) _ Give students space to try and

84、work out their issues for themselves before stepping in. There are many decisions to be made in a cooperative environment. Encourage students to think as a team to make joint decisions by first having them come up with a team name. (70) _ Make sure that each student has their own responsibilities in

85、 cooperative learning groups. Much like leadership skills, decision-making skills cannot be developed if students are not regularly practicing them. IV. Summary Writing Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use y

86、our own words as far as possible.71. New Testing Method in Era of Online LearningIn research published today in Science of Learning, engineers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute demonstrate how a testing strategy they call “distanced online testing” can effectively reduce students ability to rece

87、ive help from one another in order to score higher on a test taken at individual homes during social distancing.“Often in remote online exams, students can talk over the phone or internet to discuss answers,” said Ge Wang, a chair professor of biomedical engineering at Rensselaer and the correspondi

88、ng author on this paper. “The key idea of our method is to minimize this chance via discrete optimization（离散优化）aided by knowledge of a students competencies.”When a distanced online test is performed, students receive the same questions, but at varying times depending on their skill level. For insta

89、nce, students of highest mastery levels receive each question after other groups of students have already answered those questions. This approach, Wang said, reduces the motivator for students to receive help from those who have more mastery of the material. In order to determine the order of each s

90、tudents questions, their competence levels are estimated using their grade point averages, SAT scores, or midterm scores, depending on what is available at a specific point in the semester.According to statistical tests and post-exam surveys, this method reduced the points gained through cheating by

91、 orders of magnitude (数量级) when compared to conventional exam methods. As an added benefit, Wang said, when students knew collusion would not be possible, they were more motivated to study class material. Wang and his colleagues hope to share this innovation of teaching methods and theory beyond the

92、 Rensselaer campus.“We plan to develop a good platform so that others can easily use this method,” said Wang, a member of the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies at Rensselaer.

113、ges and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide w

114、hich one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Learning a second language is never easy, and, generally speaking, the older a person is when he attempts a new language, the more difficult it becomes. This is due to what is

115、known as language interference, meaning that the language patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second, because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures. All languages have obligatory categories of grammar that may be lacking in other languages. R

116、ussian - unlike English - has an obligatory category for gender which demands that a noun, and often a pronoun, give information about whether it is masculine or feminine. Likewise, when translating an English story into Chinese in which a character identified as cousin appears, a Chinese translator

117、 needs to know whether it refers to a male or a female, whether the character is older or younger than the speaker, and whether the character belongs to the family of the speakers father or mother. Therefore “biaomei” can be translated into English only by the awkward statement “a female cousin on m

118、y mothers side and younger than I.” The above two examples illustrate the basic problem in any translation. No matter how skilled translators are, they cannot take the language out of the speech community that uses it. Translation obviously is not a simple two-way street between two languages. Rathe

119、r, it is a busy intersection among at least two languages with all of their peculiar characteristics, the cultures of the two speech communities, and the speech situation in which the statement is spoken.(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11. Why is it difficult for older people to learn a new lan

120、guage? 12. How is Russian different from English according to the passage? 13. Why is translation a difficult thing according to the passage? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. A team of scientists recently began a project to measure the effects of loud noises on sea animals

121、. If the sounds dont harm the animals, then the researchers can go ahead with a plan to send sound waves through the Pacific Ocean to take the earths temperature. Sound travels faster through warm water than cold water. By analyzing the speed of sound through the ocean over time, the scientists will

122、 be able to determine if our planet is warming up. The experiment was nearly cancelled more than a year ago because environmental groups fear that the sound will confuse or harm sea animals. So scientists are conducting tests on the animals first. The researchers lowered a loud speaker that sends ou

123、t low frequency sound about 1000 meters beneath the ocean. Scientists at the site send sound waves into the ocean. Radio sending equipment attached to some of the sea animals help the researchers keep track of the animals movements. If sea animals are distressed by the sounds, they would swim away f

124、rom the speakers. So far, there arent any signs that the animals are being harmed. Researchers at the site noticed that large numbers of sea animals swim near the speaker whether it was turned on or off, but it is still too soon to know for sure, the scientists admit. The tests will continue through

125、 September. “If all goes well,” they say, “we can begin measuring temperature changes on our planet.” (Now listen again, please.)Questions: 14. Why was the experiment nearly cancelled? 15. For what purpose was radio sending equipment used? 16. What was the reaction of the sea animals in the sound te

126、sts? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M: Good morning. Today well talk about goal-setting and we have a special guest here, Kate Warwick. Welcome to our program, Mrs. Warwick.W: Thank you！M: So Mrs. Warwick, can you tell us about your work in goal-setting? W: OK. When

127、 it comes to goal-setting, Im really focused. For example, if I want to lose weight, I will get a group of friends around me and tell them I want to lose weight and increase my health. Then Ill take action to achieve this goal by stopping eating unhealthy foods, etc.M: Well, why do you gather some c

128、lose friends together?W: It is important for me because I need support. I know I cant do it on my own. Also it helps, because I am able to share my problems with them. And by telling other people “I really want to do this and I seek your help”, they can keep you honest, I suppose.M: So setting goals

129、 helps people achieve something. But is there anything negative about goal-setting?W: Yes. If you set yourself a goal and youre so focused on it, then you will be close-minded to other things that happen.M: Why is it that most people do so badly at reaching goals?W: They lose focus. Everybodys life

130、is busy. There is so much happening in everybodys life that what happens is that they might have a goal, and then something will get in the road of that.M: Once you reach a goal, whats the next step?W: One thing that I would strongly encourage is to celebrate success. Once you have made and reached

131、that level, it is a real must to celebrate it. That way you are acknowledging it to yourself, and youre acknowledging this level of achievement.(Now listen again, please.)Questions： 17. Whats the womans purpose when she tells her friends she wants to lose weight? 18. What is the disadvantage of being so focused on ones goal? 19. What is the reason why most people fail to reach their goals? 20. What should one do after reaching a goal according to the woman? （Thats the end of listening. 听力部分到此结束，请同学们继续答题。）
