Born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in east China’s Shandong Province, Mo Yan, who is the first
Chinese national to win the Nobel literature award, was awarded the Honorary Fellowship by Regent’s Park
College, University of Oxford on Wednesday, in recognition of his contribution to Chinese and world
literature.
The college principal Robert Ellis presented the gown to Mo at the ceremony. They uncovered together a
new international writing center named after Mo. Two Chinese contemporary writers Su Tong and Yu Hua
were invited to work as Writers in Residence for the international writing center.
Mo, well-known for his imaginative and humanistic fiction, was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in
Literature. He is also a professor at Beijing Normal University. He expressed his gratitude to the Oxford
college and recalled his love to literature since his childhood. He also told the audience in his speech that he
was greatly influenced by William Shakespeare’s masterpieces and would focus on play writing in the
following years.
Mo told Xinhua he expects the international writing center in Oxford will further improve China-UK
literature cooperation and talent exchange. Ellis told Xinhua that as the college has strengthened its
relationships with Beijing Normal University in the last few years, “it is the very right thing to do for
somebody in the university not only to honor Mo Yan’s great achievements as a writer, but also we want to
recognize him and welcome him into our college community.” “It is a great honor for us to associate him with
us and we hope he too will gain from the association with our college,” the principal added. He noted that
Regent’s Park College, located at the center of Oxford, had historical ties with China and the newly
inaugurated (成立的) Mo Yan International Writing Center is “a very exciting development”.
“We hope to strengthen our cooperation with Beijing Normal University and hope it will train new
writers and young people will be motivated,” Ellis said. He believes the interchange between Oxford and
Chinese universities will continue to bring advantages to both sides.“One of the advantages of the relationships is the way to deepen the understandings between people from
different cultures and different systems. That is also gained through conversations we have because of the
quality writing of Mo Yan. So, to read his books, Red Sorghum Clan, for instance, is for readers from the
West to understand China in a new way,” he said.

Many construction sites today look like something out of a sci-fi movie, filled with automated robots,
tablets and so on. Increasingly complex software, together with hardware, is changing the construction
industry.
Struggling with worker shortages, rising project costs and other crises, construction contractors cannot
afford to waste a single resource. Inaccurate building, which causes mistakes and rework, is a project killer
and contributor to these issues. Rework accounts for more than 30% of all work on site. That’s wheretechnology can lend a hand.
Long gone are the days when construction crews relied on paper designs. Instead, they use computer-
aided design technology to create and interact with detailed 3D models. This digitization of the design and
build process gives construction crews and engineers the ability to control, simulate (模拟) and visualize these
models in real time.
As we enter the age of the megaproject (大型工程) construction, professionals must build increasingly
complex structures, and there is great demand for precision and speed, within budget and with minimal waste.
Sometimes, a minor error at the start of a project can have a catastrophic effect later if not identified and
addressed properly, hugely extending the project timeline and wasting materials and energy.
Digital information is accurate and can be shared easily, especially using cloud platforms. Digitally
enabled hardware can collect data in the field, building a home for AI in construction. AI can also handle
project data and manage resources like materials and energy to free up time for other tasks. Architects and
engineers are already adopting cutting-edge technology, reporting as much as nine times return on investment.
Faced with tight project deadlines and often unpredictable market challenges, it will take some time for
the traditionally slow- moving industry to adjust, but it’s already happening and is accelerating. It’s catch on
quickly, or be left in the dust.
28．What can technology do according to paragraph 2?
A．Skip construction process. B．Select qualified workers.
C．Recycle more waste. D．Lower error rate.
29．What’s the advantage of computer-aided design?
A．Prettier models. B．Better interaction.
C．More creative designs. D．More flexible schedule.
30．What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Disastrous. B．Distinctive.
C．Inappropriate. D．Comprehensive.
31．What does the author want to imply in the last paragraph?
A．The trend of digital construction is unavoidable.
B．The shift to digital construction requires close regulation.C．The trend of digital construction is unpredictable.
D．The shift to digital construction demands more cooperation.

Velez-Liendo’s earliest memories are of playing in the lowland forests near her village in southeastern
Bolivia as a child — “in bare feet, just searching for insects”. When her family moved to Oruro, she took to
chasing reptiles (爬行动物), continuing her “appreciation of nature”. While earning her undergraduate degree,
Velez-Liendo had her heart set on studying gorillas in Rwanda — until she met an Andean bear in Carrasco
National Park.
Velez-Liendo then spent almost three years traveling the entire eastern area of the Bolivian Andes to
produce the first national assessment of Andean bears. She identified the best places to invest in protecting or
restoring Andean bear habitat and zeroed in on the dry forested valleys of Tarija. But only 6 percent of the
original dry forest was left, distributed in a few regions in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. And Andean bears in
Tarija are acknowledged as extinct.
In 2016, Velez-Liendo set up camera traps to see if any bears were still in Tarija. In February 2017, a
photo of a mother and cub (幼崽) brought hope. Though Tarija’s forests were promising bear habitat, local
villagers killed bears for the sake of their farm animals and crops. When another community showed her a
group of brand-new bee boxes that people didn’t know how to use, she hatched an idea.
Velez-Liendo asked an expert who had experience teaching beekeeping to train locals in how to care for
hives (蜂箱), obtain honey and market it for sale to increase their incomes. In exchange, community members
agreed to protect the forest and not harm Andean bears. Velez-Liendo also taught locals how to collect data
and help monitor the ecosystem. Today, over 60 Andean bears wander through Tarija’s forests, a remarkable
increase from the five bears documented in 2017.
Velez-Liendo wants to copy Tarija’s model in the Chuquisaca and Cochabamba regions to the north.
“Engaging more rural communities can provide ‘stepping stones’ of habitat to connect isolated bear
populations,” she says. “Conservation comes from the communities that live with this biodiversity. I think
that’s how conservation is changing: from the hands of biologists to the hands of people.”
32．What can Velez-Liendo be described as while growing up?A．A forest hunter. B．An wildlife lover.
C．A gorilla expert. D．A park-goer.
33．What might account for Andean bears’ situation according to Velez-Liendo?
A．The decline of their habitat.
B．The influence of rough weather.
C．The lack of stable financial support.
D．The bad cooperation among countries.
34．How did Velez-Liendo promote bear conservation?
A．By making stricter laws.
B．By educating local people.
C．By establishing bear reserves.
D．By increasing farmers’ income.
35．What message does Velez-Liendo want to convey in the last paragraph?
A．It’s never too late to mend. B．Sharp tools make good work.
C．More logs make a bigger fire. D．Where there’s a will there’s a way.

A large part of the world’s total sugar supply comes from beets. Most markets carry this sugar, but it
may not always be clearly labeled. You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane.
36
Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting
dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the16th century that beets’ potential
as a source of sugar was realized. 37 Later, they slowly spread to America.
One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in
cooler regions. 38 Beet sugar is also easier to produce. just requiring very basic processing. So in
consideration of the cost- effective characteristics, beets are an attractive alternative to sugarcane.
39 The initial step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through
a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. The resulting juice is then combined with liquidssqueezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is
further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly identical to sugarcane sugar.
The quantities of beet sugar and sugarcane sugar can be used equally in baking recipes. 40
While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a baked treat has been made
with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar. So beet sugar sometimes can replace sugarcane sugar in a baking recipe.
A．Beets can be easily processed.
B．But its source may be actually beets.
C．The flavour of baked goods is quite similar.
D．Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar.
E．In most cases, people tend to eat sugarcane sugar.
F．Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality.
G．Therefore, beet sugar processing plants began to be built in Europe.

16-year-old Lisa hated looking at herself in the mirror. She was not comfortable in her own skin and
feared people would label her “ugly” after seeing the burn scar on her face. It hurt her every time she had to
recall that tragedy where her face was badly burned in a big fire. She enjoyed being alone, lost in books and
melodies on her guitar. Shortly after Lisa’s 15th birthday, Chris, Lisa’s father, was stricken by a severe illness
and lost his ability to walk. However, Chris managed to provide for the family. He sent his daughters to school
and did everything possible to improve their lives. But their difficulties never ceased, mainly after he had tospend much on his mother’s heart treatment. It appeared as though fate had only terrible plans for this family.
Lisa knew everything, and she couldn’t bear to watch her daddy struggling so much. She wanted to help
relieve her family’s burden. “What can I do to improve our lives?” Lisa lost in deep thought. One day, a
leaflet promoting a local music contest landed on Lisa’s foot. Lisa’s eyes sparkled with hope when she read it
and saw that the cash prize was $25,000.
Lisa secretly registered for the music contest. Over the years, she had been passionate about music,
skilled at playing the guitar and mastering numerous musical pieces. Now, she needed to compose an original
song, sing it and accompany it with her guitar. Lisa locked herself in her room in her spare time, preparing for
the contest. In her original composition, she illustrated the joyful moments spent with her family, and she
emphasized her heart felt gratitude for her father’s contribution to the entire household. Her lyrics over-flowed
with genuine emotion. She tirelessly worked on the song, determined to perfect her performance. With the
date for the contest approaching, Lisa spent more time on her preparations. She seemed no longer afraid to
look at herself in the mirror. She often stood in front of the mirror, practiced her song and imagined her
performance on the stage. Hopefully, she thought she would give her father a big surprise.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
