【导读】文章主要讲述Young Enterprise是一个教育组织，旨在教导年轻人经营企业的基本原则。它起
源于美国，在英国得到了广泛支持。参与者被称为"Achievers"，他们可以是在校学生或已离校但未开
始工作的年轻人。每个Young Enterprise公司都有顾问来指导他们，顾问必须具备相关商业经验。赞助
商提供支持并根据企业的成功获得回报。
【详解】
21. Originating 考查现在分词 "originate"是“起源于……”，非谓语动词的现在分词形式，修饰"the
idea of Young Enterprise"，表示Young Enterprise的想法起源于美国。
22. Although/Though/While 考查让步状语从句。"although/though/while"表示让步关系，引导让步状语从
句，意为"尽管"。根据原文句子结构和语境判断。
23. who/that 考查定语从句。这里使用关系代词作为介绍 young people 的定语从句，修饰"young
people"，指代"young people"，做主语，指人，可以使用"who/that"。
24. to include 考查动词不定式。"to include"根据句子结构，空格前的谓语动词is。判定此处为非谓语动
词，而且结合句子结构It is加形容词加to do something.故填入动词不定式to include. 句意：但通常可以
将同一年龄段的年轻人包括在内，他们已经离开学校，但尚未开始工作。
25. What 考查名词从句。这里使用名词从句"What counts for Advisers"引导一个主语从句，意为"对于顾
问来说，重要的是……"。根据原文句子结构和语境判断。
26. implies 考查一般现在时。根据句子结构和语境，这里用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式"implies"，
表示"意味着"。根据原文句子结构和语境判断。
27. are/will be/have been 考查时态。根据句子结构，主语three Advisers后面的破折号是解释说明，判定
空格处动词be是句子的谓语部分，再结合句意可知此处为主系表结构，而且“be available to”表示“可
用于……，……可利用或得到的”，Advisers是复数，故填入are/will be/ have been。句意：通常，每家
公司都有三名顾问，一名会计顾问、一名生产顾问和一名营销顾问。
28.it 考查代词。 "it"是代词，作为形式宾语代替后面that从句。真正宾语是"that the Advisers must come
from a variety of business occupations"。
29. rewarded 考查过去分词。"rewarded"是过去分词作后置定语，修饰"Sponsor"，表示"被奖励"。根据
原文句子结构和语境判断。
30. 考查介词（at the expense...），构成介词短语"at its own expense"，表示"以自己的费用"。根据原文
句子结构和语境判断。Section B

Communication-a Thing of the Past?
We all think we communicate all the time, and that's true. There's also non-verbal communication you
could add into the mix--everything we're saying when we're not saying anything. But there’s a (n) (31 )
_______between saying things to people, or liking and sharing a post on social media, and communication.
I'm quite well connected-there's Twitter Facebook,Instagram, Snapchat, email, iEverything (!), but
sometimes communication starts to feel like a chore. Check this blog post, read that article someone shared,
(32) __________back to someone else, and answer their question.. . Sometimes I feel like a cross between Siri
and a mad juggler. Nothing seems to go in and I'm always mixing people up--asking someone how their band is
going when they can’t play an instrument or how the job search is going when someone’s just written to say
how depressed they are that they can't find a job.
So it was quite a ( n ) (33 )__________ to spend New Year in the Highlands in Scotland with no phone
signal, no internet and no "Communication”at all, apart from with the people I was with. Suddenly all the
pressure to communicate disappeared. All of our conversations became slower,more inverted and far more
interesting. We were a group of 12,a ( n)(34)__________of couples and friends, only one of whom I was at
university with, so I was meeting a bunch of new people for the first time. Our conversations veered towardsthe banal and the humdrum in that we often discussed our plans for the day and what we were going to cook in
the evening, but often they went a lot farther and a lot deeper. Tucked up on the leather sofas,
(35 )__________dinner, we dissected Brexit and one person even changed their (36 )__________entirely! We
shared ideas and theories , plots of books and plays and city trips we'd been on, described family troubles and
gave advice, listened to work scenarios and offered pointers, and we had to talk and sketch and use words more
than ever before , because you couldn't say, "It's a great film, you should google it later. " Some of us even had
sore throats from talking so much! In such a short ( 37 )__________of time, due to the proximity of sharing
interconnected cottages and verbal communication, I felt much closer to the new people I'd met and been
speaking with than some other people I communicate with in my normal life.
I don't think our common, current methods of communication come close to being in a small house with
lots of people and having to communicate (38 )__________. The brevity of Twitter, the showiness of Facebook,
all these aspects contribute to a shallow form of communication that doesn't challenge you to
( 39 )__________your feelings and motives enough. "Liking” something is an instant response but what does it
really say about your opinion of something? It's a (n) (40)__________response to millions of other people,
whereas you and your thoughts are unique. If we're not careful , perhaps we might forget how to communicate
on a deeper level.

Readers themselves have a keen sense of what kind of reading is best suited for which (42) _______. My
survey research with university students in the United Sates, Germany. and Japan reveals that if costs are the
same, about 90 percent ( at least in my sample ) (43 )_______ hard copy for schoolwork. If a text is long, 92
percent would choose hard copy. For (44) _______texts, it's a toss-up.

was 98 percent. ) In this country.26 percent indicated they were (46)________to multitask while reading in
print, compared with 85 percent when reading on-screen. Imagine (47)_______with Finnegan's Wake while

reading in print included "I can write on the pages and remember the material easier" and “ it's easier to focus. "
When asked what they liked least about reading (50 )_________, a number of Japanese students reported that

don't absorb as much. "
My all-time favorite reply to the question "What is the one thing you (51 )________about reading in
print?" came from an American: "It takes me longer because I read more carefully. " Isn't careful reading what
academe was designed to promote?
Readings in the humanities tend to be lengthy, intellectually weighty, or both. The (52)_______of digital
reading for the humanities is that screens-particularly those on devices with Internet connections-undermine our
encounters with meaty texts. These (53 ) ________weren't designed for focused concentration, reading slowly,
pausing to argue virtually with the author,or rereading. (54 )_______, they are information and
communication machines, best used for searching and skimming-not scrutinizing.
Teachers and scholars must look beyond today's career-mindedness in talking about challenges to the

【导读】文章主要是对比了在屏幕上阅读和纸质阅读的利弊。结论是，虽然数字设备适合阅读不需要
深入理解或重复阅读的内容，但对于需要进行“深度阅读”的文本来说，纸质阅读几乎总是更好的选
择。调查研究显示，大部分学生认为纸质阅读更适合学业，尤其是长篇文本。数字阅读容易分散注意
力，容易引发多任务处理，而纸质阅读更利于专注。一些被调查者表示，在纸质阅读时很少分心，而
在屏幕上阅读时则经常分心。针对喜欢纸质阅读的原因，调查结果显示，人们喜欢可以在纸张上做笔
记、更容易记住材料和更容易集中注意力。对于不喜欢数字阅读的原因，一些被调查者表示数字阅读
不是“真正的阅读”，还有人抱怨容易分心或无法吸收足够的信息。最后，文章呼吁教师和学者要关

Yukon, about 140 air miles from the nearest Judy's(快餐店)，down in Fairbanks.
We didn't have running water in Fort Yukon, but we had a TV, and during the time we lived up there, The
Wizard of Oz was broadcast once a year. I was transfixed by the movie, by this little girl's ability to travel from
her dull, rural home to a shining,magical kingdom filled with wonders. I could relate to Dorothy, had even once
flown over a rainbow on the way into Fairbanks, and to me, Oz perfectly illustrated the world beyond our tiny
town, what it was, what it meant.
Besides The Wizard of Oz, the other thing that taught me about the real world outside Fort Yukon was
Judy's. I would nearly press my nose to the screen whenever a Judy's commercial came on. I would scan thecommercials for every tiny detail about what life was like when you lived somewhere where there was a Judy's:
sunshine, happy music, people ate food in brightly colored packages and lived in houses with sidewalks and
lawns.
We went into Fairbanks a few times each year; whenever we flew in a visit to Judy's was almost
guaranteed. Going into Fairbanks and eating at Judy's conferred status.
But the truth is, the food hardly even mattered. Being at Judy's meant that I was in a city big enough to
have one. That world looked nothing like what I saw in Fort Yukon. But if I could fit in at Judy's, I could fit into
the bigger world, I thought. It took leaving for me to understand that none of this was true, that life is hard
everywhere, that if you thought you weren't happy without Judy's , you wouldn't be happy with it.
After we moved to Fairbanks,even though Judy's was right there, we didn't go much anymore, I don't
remember minding. Judy's, I soon learned, was convenient for people in Fairbanks more than it was special,
and we couldn't afford not to plan ahead. People ate there if they couldn't go to nicer restaurants.
Despite the newfound pleasures of Fairbanks, it didn't take long for homesickness to set in.I now missed
Fort Yukon as much as I used to want to go to Judy's; that is to say,powerfully.I missed the wood smoky way
Fort Yukon smells, the way the light slants hard right up on the Arctic Circle, the way everyone knows
everyone else. I missed the coziness of the mission house,the nooks I curled up in to read, the way all my
friends were within walking distance.I missed the village grandmas, who loved all children as if they were their
own.

To tell the age of most layered rocks, scientists study the fossils these rocks contain. Fossils provide
important evidence to help determine what happened in Earth history and when it happened.
The word “ fossil” makes many people think of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are now featured in books, movies,
and television programs, and the bones of some large dinosaurs are on display in many museums. These
reptiles were dominant animals on Earth for well over 100 million years from the Late Triassic through the
Late Cretaceous. Many dinosaurs were quite small, but by the middle of the Mesozoic Period, some species
weighed as much as 80 tons. By around 65 years ago all dinosaurs were extinct.
In spite of all of the interest in dinosaurs, they form only a small fraction of the millions of species that live
and have lived on Earth. The great bulk of the fossil record is dominated by fossils of animals with shells and
microscopic remains of plants and animals, and these remains are widespread in sedimentary rocks. It is these
fossils that are studied by most paleontologists.
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the English geologist and engineer William Smith andthe French paleontologists Georges Cuvier and Alexandre Brongniart discovered that rocks of the same age
may contain the same fossils even when the rocks are separated by long distances. They published the first
geologic maps of large areas on which rocks containing similar fossils were shown. By careful observation of
the rocks and their fossils , these men and other geologists were able to recognize rocks of the same age on
opposite sides of the English Channel.
William Smith was able to apply his knowledge of fossils in a very practical way.He was an engineer
building canals in England, which has lots of vegetation and few surface exposures of rock. He needed to know
what rocks he could expect to find on the hills through which he had to build a canal. Often he could tell what
kind of rock was likely to be below the surface by examining the fossils that had eroded from the rocks of the
hillside or by digging a small hole to find fossils. Knowing what rocks to expect allowed Smith to estimate
costs and determine what tools were needed for the job.
Smith and others knew that the succession of life forms preserved as fossils is useful for understanding how
and when the rocks formed. Only later did scientists develop a theory to explain that succession.
63. What is the purpose of scientists in studying fossils?
A. To clarify the category of the layered rock.
B. To utilize the structure of the layered rock.
C.To determine the time of presence of the layered rocks.
D.To modify the environment with a layered rock.
64. Which of the following statements is true about dinosaurs?
A. The mystery of the extinction of the dinosaurs is still unresolved.
B. Dinosaurs have existed around the world for about 6.5 million years.
C.The dinosaurs were extinct in the Mesozoic Period.
D.There was no correlation between dinosaurs and fossils.
65. What can we learn about William Smith?
A. He is a famous French paleontologist.
B. He can predict the types of rock beneath the surface.
C.He can identify rocks of the same age around the world.
D.He needs to turn to professionals to estimate the exploration costs.
66. What is this article mainly talking about?
A.New fossils found by geologists.
B. The formation of the dinosaur fossils.
C. Tools required to develop the sedimentary rocks.D. Fossils in the rocks facilitating related research advances.

once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
外刊来源：A. Before you stock up at cafe , know that it is possible to drink too much coffee.
B. Coffee has its advantages and disadvantages according to different people.
C. Researchers found that caffeine , particularly coffee , had a protective effect against depression.
D. So by all means , grab that extra cup of coffee , but be sure to limit your intake.
E.The mood-boosting news doesn't stop there.
F. To sum up, more researchers should be done to clarify the relation between caffeine and depression.
If you needed another excuse to grab another cup of coffee, consider this research a blessing to do so.
A comprehensive analysis of 12 studies looked at nearly 350,000 individuals and more than 8 .000 cases
of depression. (67)__________ In China, researchers analyzed 15 studies with more than 330 ,000 total
participants. Their results showed that for every cup of coffee people drank, they reduced their risk of
depression by 8 percent.
(68)______________ Harvard researchers studied 10 years’ worth of data from 51 ,000 women ,none of
whom had depression to begin with, The results showed that the women who drank the most coffee ( four or
more cups a day) were 20 percent less likely to develop depression than those who drank little or none.
Yes, coffee just got more magical than you thought possible. But why is this? The secret is in the
brew's anti-inflammatory properties. Coffee contains chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, and caffeic acid, all of
which reduce the inflammation of nerve cells that bring on depression. Caffeine also has some antioxidant
properties, which can help soothe inflamed areas of the brain.
(69) _________Some side effects of a heavy caffeine intake include anxiety ,headaches.brain.restlessness, and increased blood pressure. Ir the body experiences these too often, it could
actually trigger the inflammation that may contribute to depression.
Once the caffeine wears off, coffee drinkers may experience a drop in mood, and those who are already
depressed can feel those effects more strongly. One interesting study found that drinking more coffee
decreased chances of suicide , until participants drank eight or more cups a day. Then the risk increased by 58
percent.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no
more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Fiction Reading
For many people, nothing is more enjoyable than spending a whole afternoon reading a good novel. But
are novels simply a pleasant way to pass the time, or could it be true that reading fiction actually benefits our
lives?
One of the joys of fiction is that it can take us to places that our lives won't.It can transport us to 17th-
century France, or to war-tom Germany. It can take us to a future world in which artificial intelligence takes
over and books are banned , or a fantasy world where people battle it out for food.
Fiction can also introduce us to a whole range of people that we haven't yet met. And this, according to
Carrie Oates, a novelist and academic , is perhaps the real benefit of stories.In one of her studies, participants
were asked to read either a short story by Chekhov, or a version of the story in documentary form. Those who
were given the fictionalized version were found to be more likely to sympathize with the characters, thus going
through greater changes in personality. in another study, she showed participants photos of the eyes of people
who were feeling and thinking different things. The people who read fiction were better able to interpret those
thoughts and feelings than those who didn't read. Oates explains that when we read fiction , we enter into the
minds of the characters. We think about why they behave in a certain way, and what they are likely to do next.
Just as we might become more knowledgeable about psychology and astronomy if we read about psychology
and astronomy , we get better at this kind of social thinking if we read fiction. This improves our understanding
of the thoughts and feelings of those around us in real life.

参考答案01：Fiction reading is joyful and good for our lives. Fiction can lead us to where we can't go in real life and let us
know different people. Carrie Oates finds that fiction reading enables us to better understand the characters and
thus change our personality and that this understanding helps us identify with real people around us.
参考答案02：
Reading fiction benefits our lives by exposing us to new places we cannot go and people we haven't met. It
helps us understand others' thoughts and feelings by immersing ourselves in the minds of fictional characters.
Studies have shown that fiction readers are more skilled at interpreting the thoughts and feelings of others,
enhancing their empathy.

范文: 一
Dear Tom,
I’m writing to you on the purpose of telling you what my classmates think about your class as well as my
personal suggestions.
After understanding the views of the class, I found that some students conveyed lacking interest in the topics
discussed in your class, which may exert a negative impact on interacting with you. Moreover, some students
are not confident in their oral English level and they're afraid of making mistakes in
communication, which makes them feel embarrassed in talking to you about what they want to voice.
From my point of view, one beneficial step is to play games in the class, which can be an
effective method to attract our attention and arouse our interest, so that we can have full expectations and
imagination of your class. It is conceivable that the learning styles can
create an active and colorful English classroom environment, which is the cornerstone of building bridges
between you and us students. Another is more supportive words to encourage us to talk, which plays a vital role
in increasing classroom interaction. Meanwhile, our learning initiative and efficiency will be greatly
enhanced. Not only can it improve the efficiency of learning, but also cause us to get more sense of
achievement, stemming from what we can say a lot. And you can understand us, thus making us generate
confidence and interest. I do hope that my suggestions will be taken into consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
范文: 二
Dear Tom,
Since you asked me to inquire about the reasons why we do not interact with each other actively, I have been
communicating with them and acquainted myself with the facts. Stated below are their concerns and my
suggestions.
As for the reasons, some mentioned that the topics discussed in your class is partially accountable for the
situation, while others are merely afraid of making grammatical and pronunciation mistakes and speaking
fluent English to voice themselves is a great challenge for them.Taking the two reasons above into account, I have two solutions to tackle the issue. The first beneficial step
is to assign the tasks to different students,and what you need to do is nothing more than regulating the standards
of each task. For example, a couple of students should be responsible for selecting appealing and entertaining
topics, and some other students can design the activities and determine the form of the class. Given that we
know exactly what really inspires and appeals to our peers, we are bound to discover the most desirable topics
and activities.
Another solution is to use more supportive words to avoid the embarrassment sensed by students, which can
play a vital role in increasing classroom interaction. With supportive words , we do not need to worry about the
likelihood that we my be laughed at or receive negative responses when making mistakes, thus allowing us
to speak English aloud. Consequently, not only the efficiency of learning will be improved , but also they can
help to bring a greater sense of achievement.
To conclude, the student-oriented measures mentioned above may both cater for the students and relieve
your pressure. And we feel so proud that we have such an admirable and responsible teacher as you. And it
would be highly appreciated if you reckon my suggestions sensible.
Yours sincerely,
LiMing
范文: 三
Dear Tom,
As requested, I have gathered the opinions of our classmates regarding the lack of active participation in
our oral English class. It seems that some students are simply not interested in the discussion topics presented
in class, while others are afraid of making mistakes and therefore hesitate to speak up.
To address these issues, I have a few suggestions. Firstly, we could try to make the topics more engaging and
relevant to our lives. By incorporating current events or popular culture, students may find it easier to connect
and contribute to the discussions. Additionally, implementing activities that encourage teamwork and
collaboration could help alleviate the fear of making mistakes. When students feel supported by their peers,
they are more likely to take risks and share their thoughts.
Furthermore, it would be beneficial if you could create a comfortable and non-judgmental environment in
class. This will help boost students' confidence and reduce their fear of speaking in front of others.
Thank you for entrusting me with this task. I believe that by implementing these suggestions, we can foster a
more interactive and engaging learning atmosphere in our oral English class.Best regards,
LiMing

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Across the UK, a group of volunteer motorcyclists is helping hospitals by delivering blood. Angela Brown is
one of them. She is on call for 80 hours each month. At very short notice, she can be woken in the night and
find herself riding a motorbike with a vital delivery for a hospital. But she's not an employee of any hospital.
She's just a volunteer, one of the 1400 advanced qualified riders of the Association of Blood Bikers. Last year,
the Association's bikers responded to around 35000 rapid transport requests from 262 UK hospitals. Besides
blood, the bikers also deliver surgical tools and medicine. Brown first discovered blood biking when she was
on a course at the institute of advanced motorists. Her trainer, who himself was a blood biker, warned that their
training ride might be stopped if he was called away. Under his influence, Brown started volunteering as a rider.
She later discovered that blood bikers once helped her own nephew, Peter. He received blood delivered by a
rider on New Year's Eve, 2015. Brown says being a blood biker is a way of helping the community and beingon the bike at the same time.
Now listen again.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following talk.
Wearable devices are not just for humans anymore. A growing range of electronic callers and cameras can help
you monitor your pets' activity and even emotional state. Was your cat happy? How much exactly did your dog
eat today? Knowing the answers to such questions is becoming ever easier. This week, the insurance group.
ASA, invested in a company called All4Pet, which makes the PetMe, a wearable activity monitor for dogs. The
PetMe can feedback information on a dog's activity level and food intake. And healthier dogs may earn their
owners a lower pet insurance fee. According to Andy Wells, the chief designer of the PetMe, there are a lot of
challenges with dogs now. He says "about 4 million out of 9 million dogs in our country are too fat, and about
25% are left home alone". So pet care is worsening. Meanwhile, bills from pet doctors are rising each year, and
so are insurance fees. Our purpose is to help owners keep their dogs fit and active in a fun way, which also
helps insurance companies lower their costs. Our company, All4Pet, is using this data to build a database on
dogs. So we can understand what makes one dog healthy and another overweight. Why certain conditions affect
some dogs more than others?
Now listen again.
