One summer night in a seaside cottage，a boy felt himself lifted from bed.Then，with the swiftness of a dream，he was held in his father's arms out onto the nearby beach.Overhead the sky blazed with stars. "Watch!" Incredibly，as his father spoke，one of the stars moved.In a line of golden fire it flashed across the astonished heavens.And before the wonder of this could fade，another star leaped from its place，then another，plunging towards the restless sea. "What's this？" the child whispered. "Shooting stars.They come every year on a certain August night.I thought you'd like to see the show." That was all：just an unexpected glimpse of something mysterious and beautiful. But，back in bed，the child stared for a long time into the dark，knowing that all around the quiet house，the night was full of the silent music of the falling stars. Decades have passed，but I remember that night still，because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed that a new experience was more important for a small boy than an unbroken night's sleep.No doubt I had all the usual childhood entertainment，but those are forgotten now.What I remember is the night of the shooting stars，and the day we rode in a caboose （列车末尾的职工车厢），the telegraph we made that really worked，and the "trophy table" in the dining room where we children were encouraged to exhibit things we had found — anything unusual or beautiful — snake skins，seashells，flowers，arrowheads...I remember the thought-provoking （引人深思的） books left by my bedside that pushed back my horizons and sometimes actually changed my life. My father had，to a marvellous degree，the gift of opening doors for his children，of leading them into areas of splendid newness.This subtle art of adding dimensions to a child's world doesn't necessarily require a great deal of time.It simply involves doing things more often with our children instead of for them or to them.（1）What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean？ ____ A．The child was still immersed in the beautiful scenery just now.B．The child was too frightened to fall asleep because of darkness.C．The child wanted to listen more to the music about falling stars.D．The child felt grateful to his father for what he showed him.（2）All the things the author remember from his childhood are ____ .A．unusual and novelB．dangerous and demandingC．strange and uncommonD．educational and thought-provoking（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？ ____ A．Parents should interfere more with their children's learning.B．Parents should push their children to try to do everything on their own.C．Parents should devote energy to exploring new things for their children.D．Parents should encourage children to be curious and explore new things in life.（4）What's the best title for this passage？ ____ A．Limitless knowledgeB．Father，the hero of my lifeC．Curiosity aroused that nightD．The unusual things in my life

A special copyright（版权）case has recently drawn attention because is it related to artificial intelligence（人工智能，简称AI）.A court in Shenzhen ruled that a news report written by Tencent's AI enjoys copyright protection.A website broke the law because it used the article without permission. This is the first case in China that has provided copyright protection to work done by AI.But what does it indicate？Will AI take the place of creative workers in the future？ Probably not.AI is not yet able to write creative stories.The news report mentioned above is mainly about data.Since AI is good at processing（处理） data，it is often used to write financial（金融的）reports.Some newspapers also use AI to report on stories about natural disasters，which mainly require basic facts such as "where" and "when".As Forbes wrote，instead of losing their jobs，journalists can make their work more efficient by using AI so that they can focus more on storytelling and less on numbers. AI is actually being helpful in many creative fields.For example，Wayne McGregor，a British choreographer （编舞者），whose job is to arrange how dancers should move during a performance，is famous for using AI to create new dances.For him，AI is a powerful tool that can help choreographers break out of common movements.McGregor is not worried that AI might replace human artists. "AI can't judge the quality of the dance design，" he said. "It's time to stop worrying about whether AI can be creative，" according to Forbes.Instead，we should focus on how humans and AI can work together in ways that we have never dreamed of before.（1）According to the copyright case related to AI，we know that ____ .A.I can also break the lawB.news stories cannot be written by AIC.articles written by AI also have copyright protectionD.AI can copy others' articles without permission（2）Which kind of articles might AI be good at writing？ ____ A.Romantic stories.B.Earthquake reports.C.Horror stories.D.Public speeches.（3）Wayne McGregor agrees that ____ .A.I helps him do creative workB.AI can create new dances by itselfC.AI might replace human artistsD.AI can teach people how to dance（4）Which of the following might be the author's view？ ____ A.Many jobs will disappear due to AI.B.We should make laws against AI.C.AI is difficult to use.D.We should work together with AI.
Part ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dia Mirza and Adrian Grenier have a message for you:It’s easy to beat plastic.They’re part of a bunch of celebrities staring in a new video for World Environment Day-encouraging you, the consumer, to swap out your single-use Plastic staples to combat the plastic crisis. If only I’d realized that we can buy our way out of the problem except we can’t.The key messages that have been put together for World Environment Day do include a call for governments to enact legislation to curb single-us plastics.But the overarching message is directed at individuals: Lead with your wallets. The problem of perpetuating this individualistic narrative is that it´s not going to get us very far and the plastics crisis we face is immense.Our oceans are blighted by the stuff.It´s in our drinking water (including bottled water), and we could even be breathing it in. I´m not dismissing individual actions like ordering straw-free drinks at bars, or opting for a reusable water bottle over a cup that´s going in the trash as soon as you´ve used it.I can´t imagine not at least trying to minimize my own plastics footprint, whether it´s lugging home my newly-refilled gallon bottle of washing-up liquid every few months, or buying packaging-free food, clothing and toiletries where possible. On their own, however, none of these things is enough. Part of my worry about leaving it up to the individual is that we´re all just guessing at what´s going on out there-and that´s if we haven´t been scared off from doing anything to start with in the face of such a huge challenge.As consumers, we have little idea about how much plastic has been used and discarded along the supply chain, for example.It´s also hard to compare, say, going to a bulk store that sells plastic-free products but requires you to drive some distance versus a more Iccal shop where you may end up taking home some packaged items. For these __9__ , I stopped weighing myself every day and switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule __10__ .Since weight loss is not my goal, it is less important for me to __11__ my weight each week.Weighing every other week allows me to observe and __12__ any significant weight changes.That tells me whether I need to __13__ my training program. I also use my bimonthly weigh-in __14__ to get information about my nutrition as well.If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly __15__ and dropping weight, this is a __16__ that I need to increase my daily caloric intake. The __17__ to stop weighing myself every day has done wonders for my overall health, fitness and well-being.I am experiencing increased zeal for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a __18__ morning weigh-in.I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, __19__ I’m training according to those goals, instead of numbers on a scale. There’s also a time and cost issue.Realistically, I´m not going to start making my own laundry detergents so I can avoid the plastic bottles they come in, and there can be extra costs associated with environmentally friendly products. My biggest concern with leaving it up to the individual, however, is our limited sense of what needs to be achieved On their own, taking our own bags to the grocery store or quitting plastic straws, for example, will accomplish little and require very little of us.They could even be detrimental, satisfying a need to have "done our bit" without ever progressing onto bigger, bolder, more effective actions---a kind of "moral licensing" that allays our concerns and stops us doing more and asking more of those in charge. While the conversation around our environment and our responsibility toward it remains centered on shopping bags and straws, we´re ignoring the balance of power that implies that as "consumers" we must shop sustainably, rather than as "citizens" hold our governments and industries to account to push for real systemic change.Nowhere in World Environment Day 2018´s key messages is there anything about voting for environmentally progressive politicians, for example.Why not? It’s important to acknowledge that the environment isn’t everyone’s priority-or even most people’s.We shouldn’t expect it to be .In her latest book, Why Could People Do Bad Environmental Things, Wellesley College professor Elizabeth R.De Sombre argue that the best way to collectively change the behavior of large numbers of people is for the change to be structural. This might mean implementing policy such as a plastic tax that adds a cost to environmentally problematic action, or banning single-use plastics altogether.India has just announced it will” eliminate all single-use plastic in the country by 2022.” There are also incentive-based ways of making better environmental choices easier, such as ensuring recycling is at least as easy as trash disposal. De Sombre isn’t saying people should stop caring about the environment.It’s just that individual actions are too slow, she says, for that to be only, or even primary, approach to changing widespread behavior. None of this is about writing off the individual.It’s just about putting things into perspective.We don’t have time to wait.We need progressive policies that shape collective action (and rein in polluting business), alongside engaged citizens pushing for change.That’s not something we can buy.第36题Some celebrities star in a new video toA.demand new laws on the use of plasticsB.urge consumers to cut the use of plasticsC.invite public opinion on the plastics crisisD.disclose the causes of the plastics crisis第37题The author is concerned that “moral licensing” mayA.mislead us into doing worthless thingsB.prevent us from making further effortsC.weaken our sense of accomplishmentD.suppress our desire for success第38题By pointing out our identity as “citizens,” the author indicates thatA.our focus should be shifted to community welfareB.our relationship with local industries is improvingC.we have been actively exercising our civil rightsD.We should press our governments to lead the combat第39题De Sombre argues that the best way for a collective change should beA.a win-win arrangementB.a self-driven mechanismC.a cost- effective approachD.a top down process第40题The author concludes that individual effortsA.can be too aggressiveB.are far from sufficientC.can be too inconsistentD.are far from rational上一题 下一题(41~45/共5题)Part B Directions:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each numbered paragraph (41-45).There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use.

McClain’s little ones aren’t the only kids who have an option when it comes to housing, and in many cases youngsters’ views weigh heavily on parents’ real estate decisions, according to a 2018 Harris Poll survey of more than 2000 US adults. While more families buck an older-generation proclivity to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions, reality agents and psychologists have mixed views about the financial, personal and long-term effects kids’ opinions may have. The idea of involving children in a big decision is a great idea because it can help them feel a sense of control and ownership in what can be an overwhelming process, and Ryan Hooper, a clinical psychologist in Chicago. “ Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves, especially if it removes them from their current school or support system,” he said. Greg Jaroszewski, a real estate brokers with Gagliardo Realty Associates, said he’s not convinced that kids should be involved in selecting a home- but their options should be considered to regards to proximity to friends and social activities, if possible. Younger children should feel like they’re choosing their home- without actually getting a choice in the matter, said ADAM Bailey, a real estate attorney based in New York. Asking them questions about what they like about the backyard of a potential home will make them feel like they’re being included in the decision-making process, Bailey said. Many of the aspects of home buying aren’t a consideration for children, said Tracey Hampson, a real estate agent based in Santa Clarita, Calif.And placing too much emphasis on their opinions can ruin a fantastic home purchase. “Speaking with your children before you make a real estate decision is wise, but I wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions.” Hampson said.The other issue is that many children - especially older ones - may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows, said Aaron Norris of The Norris Group in Riverside , Calif . “They love Chip and Joanna Gaines just as much as the rest of us,” he said.“HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate.It’s not shelter , it’s a lifestyle.With that mindset change come some serious money consequences.” Kids tend to get stuck in the features and the immediate benefits to them personally, Norris said. Parents need to remind their children that their needs and desires may change over time, said Julie Gurner, a real estate analyst with “Their opinions can change tomorrow,” Gurner said.“Harsh as it may be to say, that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child’s opinions, but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best - and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own.” This advice is more relevant now than ever before, even as more parents want to embrace the ideas of their children, despite the current housing crunch.图片第41题____第42题____第43题____第44题____第45题____上一题 下一题(1/1)Section II Reading Comprehension Part C第46题Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points) It is easy to underestimate English writer James Herriot.He had such a pleasant, readable style that are might think that anyone could imitate it.How many times have I heard people say, “I could write a book, I just haven’t the time” Easily said.Not so easily done.James Herriot, contrary to popular opinion did not find it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game”.While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent, the final polished work that he have to the world was the result of years of practicing, re-writing and reading.Like the majority of authors, he had to suffer many disappointments and rejections along the way, but these made him all the more determined to succeed.Everything he achieved in life was earned the hard way and his success in the literacy field was no exception.___________________上一题 下一题(1/1)Part ADirections: Write a composition/letter of no less than 100 words on the following information.

The philosopher,Martin Buber,is most known for his work on "I-Thou/You" relationships in which people are open,direct,mutually interested in each other.In contrast,"I-It" relationships are those in which we use the other,like an object,to solve our problems and fulfill our needs and purposes. It is not our fault that many of our relationships are or become "It" relationships because most of what we feel,think and do is motivated by unconscious memories of how to survive the environment.Thus,one of the reasons we use other people to help us feel better about ourselves and cope in the world is that using people was once necessary and it worked.When we were small and helpless,"It" came and-fed us,and held us,and set us on our way.We didn't have to reciprocate and care for "It".Even when the care and attention of "it" was minimal or unpredictable,if we got out of childhood alive,somewhere along the way "it" was involved. When we are very young,other people are always "it"s whom we use to fulfill our needs.Freud called this stage of early life "primary narcissism",which is our instinct for self-preservation and is a normal part of our development.While most of us grow out of it,we still hold a survival fear,which motivates us to escape danger and to stay alive,and we all need this fear in healthy measure. The problem is that too many of us,too much of the time,are in a constant state of threat--and we often don't know it.We imagine people are talking about us behind our backs,that we have cancer,that we are inadequate,and vulnerable to more than our share of bad luck.As our brains have grown in size and complexity,so has our ability to scare ourselves. This causes many problems.For example,our stress levels increase,our digestion is impaired and our thinking becomes restricted.Our threat response stops any bodily function,feeling,thought and behavior that might "waste" energy and detract from fighting or escaping danger.Thus,when in threat,our emotional,cognitive and behavioral range is significantly reduced. And in this reduced state,one of our solutions is to find someone who can save and comfort us.Instead of enabling us to be open,direct and mutual,fear and anxiety lead us towards conversations and choices in our relations with others that are orientated towards surviving--not thriving.Threat-motivated relationships are characterized by need,dependency,control,demand,dishonesty,and self-interest. We cannot form the "I-Thou" relationships that Buber speaks of until we have learned to notice,comfort,and understand the emotions and patterns of our threat brain.When in threat,we tend to use other people as objects who can save and protect us,or who we can blame for our problems.(1)When a person reciprocates,he tends to ______ .A.ask for some advice.B.return the favour.C.convey an apology.D.make some comments.(2)What can we learn about "primary narcissism"? ______A.It leads to our fear.B.It impacts our growth negatively.C.It is normal and usually temporary.D.It lays the foundation for Freud's theory.(3)Which of the following could be an example of "it" relationships'? ______A.Comforting an upset friend.B.Feeling sorry for your mistakes.C.Asking others to take on your task.D.Trying hard to be independent.(4)What would be the best title for this passage'? ______A.How We Can Form the "I-Thou" RelationshipsB.How We Can Get Out of the "I-It" RelationshipsC.What Helps Us Survive and Thrive in Early Stages of LifeD.Why We Treat Others as Objects Rather Than Individuals
A new study suggests the singing noises made by humpback whales(座头鲸) might be a sign of loneliness. Scientists who recorded humpback whales 'behavior in Australia discovered that fewer whales made the singing noises, also called wailing, as their population grew. "Humpback whale song is loud and travels far in the ocean," said marine biologist Rebecca Dunlop of the University of Queensland in Brisbane. She has long studied humpback whales and helped lead the new study. Her work has centered on humpbacks that reproduce near Australia 's Great Barrier Reef. Dunlop told The Associated Press she made an unexpected finding as whale numbers sharply rose following the end of commercial whaling(捕鲸). "It was getting more difficult to actually find singers," she said. Dunlop added, "When there were fewer of them, there was a lot of singing—now that there are lots of them, there is no need to be singing so much." Scientists first began to hear and study the complex songs of the humpback whales in the 1970s. They used underwater microphones to do so. Only male whales sing. Eastern Australia 's humpback whales came close to disappearing in the 1960s when their number dropped to around 200. But over time the population began to regrow, climbing to about 27,000 whales by 2015. That number is near estimated pre-whaling levels. As the density of whales increased, their singing behavior changed. While 2 in 10 males made wailing noises in 2004, 10 years later the number had dropped to 1 in 10, Dunlop said. The team 's study appeared in a recent issue of Nature Communications Biology. Dunlop said she thought singing played a big part in bringing in mates when populations were severely reduced. "It was hard just to find other whales in the area because there weren 't many," she added. "When humpbacks live in denser populations, males looking for mates also have to deal with competing whales." Dunlop explained the singing noises might bring in other possible mates. The research suggests the seas are still noisy with humpback whale sounds. Many humpbacks seek to bring in mates with a combination of singing and physical movements, the study notes. The large increase in the humpback population during the study period provided valuable data about changes in the animals 'behavior, said Simon Ingram. He studies humpback whales at the University of Plymouth in Britain. Ingram said humpback whales must have been singers long before whaling reduced their number. But the new study demonstrates how necessary their complex and beautiful songs were for their survival and recovery.1、 According to Paragraph 1, humpback whales make singing noises probably to ______.look for foodattack rivalslead other whalesexpress emotions2、 According to Paragraph 3, what can we learn about Dunlop 's finding? ______All the whales are good singers.Humpback whales are too lazy to sing.Commercial whaling helps protect the Great Barrier Reef.More humpback whales lead to the reduction of singing noises.3、 Why do male humpback whales sing? ______Because it can help them find mates.Because it can attract other male whales.Because it can resist commercial whaling.Because it can damage underwater microphones.4、 What 's probably Dunlop 's research field? ______Ocean biology.Animal science.Physical science.Commercial whaling.5、 According to Simon Ingram, humpback whales ______.stop singing after the whaling ends in Plymouthrely on their songs for their survival and recoverychange their singing behavior constantly in Britainmake more singing noises with the help of scientists

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
