II.Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分）
Section A
Directions: 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.
Love from the Apple Tree
Once upon a time, there used to be a tall and big apple tree. A little boy, every day to the tree down, climbed up 21
(pick) apples to eat, and slept in the shade of the tree. He loved the apple tree, and it loved to play with him. The little boy
gradually grew up and stopped 22 (come) to play every day. One day he came to the tree, picked all the apples and
left happily. Another day, the boy came again, and cut off all the branches, happily away to build a house himself. One
summer, the boy came back, cut down her tree trunk, built a boat, 23 (sail) away, and did not come back for a long
time. After years, the boy returned at last. He was old and wanted 24 more than a place to rest. “Old root is 25
(suitable) to sit down and rest, come on, sit down and rest with me!” The boy sat down, and the apple tree was so happy that
it shed tears.This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parent. 26 we are young, we love to play with Mom and Dad.
Having grown up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter
what, parents will always be there and give everything they 27 to make you happy.
28 your parents can give you is not necessarily the best in the world, but they will try their best to give you all,
and they are afraid that it is not enough; maybe they never said “I love you”, but love you in their own way for a lifetime,
29 is how most parents around the world show their love. For example, a tired father was watching his two daughters eat
fried chicken, but he didn’t order anything, telling his daughters that he was not hungry, 30 more money in his
pocket. We grow up to know that the world’s most affectionate lie is what the father and mother said: I do not love to cat it
and I am not hungry.

How Digital Modeling Plays a Key Role in Restoring the Notre Dame Cathedral (巴黎圣母院)It’s been more than
four years since a fire damaged Notre Dame, the Catholic cathedral in Paris that’s historically drawn millions of visitors
every year.
Since then, people from around the world have united to support an effort, 31 by French President, that’s
intended to have the building back open to the public by the end of next year. Teams working to restore the Gothic cathedral
have 32 to rebuild much of the damaged sections using materials like oak wood (橡木) and stone that have stood
the test of centuries.
But the builders, architects and engineers do have the 33 of some 21st century technologies, including modern
building information modeling (BIM) software that enables them to work with a(n) 34 detailed 3D digital model of
the cathedral and surrounding site, backed by powerful cloud computing technology.
“It allows you to really understand a lot of how a building fits together, how it’s constructed,” says Andrew Anagnost,
CEO of design software 35 Autodesk. It has contributed technical consulting, software and financial assistance to
the project since shortly after the fire. A digital model, which took more than a year to create, includes more than 12,000
objects.
It was a complex process. Onsite workers captured the point-by-point 3D 36 of the cathedral with laser (激
光) and photo equipment. Then, others turned the data points from that process into detailed shapes and objects, down to
individual building stones. That let experts see how the building shifted in the fire — important for 37 any stability
issues — and plan out the process of reconstruction.“It’s like Mission: Impossible when they plan,” says Nicolas Mangon, VP of architecture, engineering and
construction industry strategy at Autodesk. “Every little piece is done 38 , and with the 3D model you can simulate
(模拟) everything.”
Even when the cathedral is 39 , the model may still serve important roles. Mangon says the company is
currently in discussions about using it to manage aspects of the complex going forward, 40 using sensors that could
show the exact location of any future fires.
III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分)
Section A
Directions: 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
Back in 1930, the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that with technological change and improvements in-
productivity, we’d only be working 15 hours a week by now. But while working hours have 41 by 26%, most of us
still average 42.5 hours a week.
One of the things Keynes underestimated is the human desire to 42 with our peers — a drive that makes most
of us work more than we need to. “We don’t measure productivity by how much we’ve harvested anymore,” says Alex
Soojung-Kim Pang, visiting scholar at Stanford University. “Overworking has been part of Western society since the
Industrial Revolution. When some predicted that automation would create an extra amount of 43 time, needless to
say, that didn’t happen.
Thanks to computerization and globalization in the 1980s, managers could demand more of employees under the 44
that jobs could be given to someone else. So the 45 piled on. And we took it exhausted, but asking up the burden all
the same. The psychologist Barbara Killnger writes in Workaholics: Te Respectable Addicts about how we 46
sacrifice our own well-being through overwork for “success”.
But far from delivering productivity, value, or personal fulfillment, overwork has been proven to lead to burnout,
stress, greater risk of heart disease and even shorter lifespans. 47 we carried on — until COVID-19 came along.
Besides making us work longer hours from home, COVID-19 has also 48 the move towards the adoption of
automated machine, especially tor jobs requiring much interpersonal contact-from Amazon developing delivery drones (无
人机) to self-driving cars. By 2050, Michael Osborne, a professor of machine learning at the University of Oxford, predicts
that at least 40% of current jobs will be lost to 49 .
There are 50 . Jobs that involve complex social interactions are beyond current robot skills: so teaching,
social care, nursing and counselling are all likely to 51 the AI revolution. As are jobs that rely on creativity. The
same also goes for 52 jobs, according to Osborne, due to the large number of different objects cleaners encounter
and the variety of ways those objects need to be dealt with. Interestingly, areas of the workplace traditionally dominated bywomen won’t be so easily adopted by AI. Robots are unlikely to 53 in the “work” of taking care of children,
preparing lunchboxes and doing the laundry.
Those whose work falls outside the caring, cleaning or creative field will still work in future, just 54 . In
about 60% of occupations, it is estimated that a third of the tasks can be automated, meaning changes to the way we work. A
large-scale study has predicted that over the next 20 years, although 7 million jobs will be taken over by AI. 7.2 million new
ones will be 55 as a result. So we will work in future: we just don’t know what we’ll be doing yet.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.
For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information
given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Montessori was born in Italy in 1870 with progressive parents, who frequently communicated with the country’s
leading thinkers and scholars. This enlightened family environment provided Montessori with many advantages over other
young girls of the time.
Her mother’s support was vital for some important decisions, such as her enrolment in a technical school after her
elementary education. Her parents’ support also proved to be essential for her decision to study medicine, a field that was
dominated by men.
Soon after graduating, in 1896, Montessori began work as a voluntary assistant in a clinic at the University of Rome,where she cared for children with learning difficulties. The rooms were bare, with just a few pieces of furniture. One day,
she found that the children were enthusiastically playing with breadcrumbs (面包屑) that had dropped on the floor. It then
occurred to her that the origin of some intellectual disabilities could be related with poverty. With the right learning
materials, these and other young minds could be nurtured, Montessori concluded.
The observation would lead Montessori to develop a new method of education that focused on providing optimal
stimulation during the sensitive periods of childhood.
At its centre was the principle that all the learning materials should be child-sized and designed to appeal to all the
senses. In addition, each child should also be allowed to move and act freely, and use their creativity and problem-solving
skills. Teachers took the role of guides, supporting the children without press or control.
Montessori opened her first Children’s House in 1907. When the Fascists (法西斯主义者) first came into power in
Italy in 1922, they initially embraced her movement. But they soon came to oppose the emphasis on the children’s freedom
of expression. Montessori’s values had always been about human respect, and the rights of children and women, but the
Fascists wanted to use her work and her fame.
Things reached a breaking point when the Fascist tried to influence the schools’ educational content, and in 1934
Montessori and her son decided to leave Italy. She didn’t return to her homeland until 1947, and she continued to write
about and develop her method until her death in 1952, at the age of 81.
56．The primary reason for Montessori to develop a new educational method was ______.
A．her family’s supportive influence on her education
B．her experience as a voluntary assistant in a clinic
C．her observation of children playing with breadcrumbs happily
D．her decision to study medicine, a field dominated by men
57．What was a central principle of Montessori’s educational method as described in the passage?
A．Providing standardized, one-size-fits-all learning materials.
B．Encouraging strict discipline and control over children’s actions.
C．Focusing on rote memorization and competition.
D．Creating a free and children-centered learning environment.
58．Montessori decided to leave Italy in 1934 because .
A．she wanted to explore other countries and cultures
B．she wanted to avoid the Fascist’s influence on her work
C．she was offered a better job in a different country
D．she wanted to retire and enjoy a peaceful life in another country
59．Which of the following words can best describe Montessori in this passage?A．Observant and innovative. B．Traditional and emotional.
C．Progressive and dependent. D．Open-minded and indifferent.
(B)
Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View- Return of the JediTo mark the 40th anniversary of the
release of Return of the Jedi, this selection sees 40 scenes from the movie recreated through the eyes of a
supporting character, from robots to Mon Mothma. So, among the 40 writers and artists contributing, we
have Olivie Blake giving a glimpse into the mind of Emperor Palpatine, Mary Kenney telling the story of
Wicket the Ewok’s dream of a quiet day on the forest moon of Endor and Charlie Jane Anders looking
into that terrifying open mouth in the desert of Tatooine.
Creation Node by Stephen BaxterStephen Baxter is the author of one of my all-time favourite
moments in a sci-fi novel: the oceans close over the top of Everest in Flood. I think of his drowned Earth
relatively often - it is an image burned into my brain. His latest book sounds equally interesting and I’ll
definitely be giving it a read. Set in 2255, it follows the discovery of an object called Planet Nine, which a
woman named Salma spots from her spaceship. It’s not a planet, or the “ninth” of anything; it was briefly
believed to be a black hole, but then it sends a message that there is something waiting on its surface.
Meanwhile, a quasar(类星体)has appeared and is heating up the solar system. Lots to deal with, then.
Starter Villain by John ScalziThis is the sort of sci-fi novel that needs to be described as a joke, I
feel. It’s set on Earth today and sees divorced substitute teacher Charlie inherit his long-lost late uncle
Jake’s business. Unfortunately for Charlie, he also inherits his uncle’s enemies. We are also promised
intelligent, talking spy cats and unionised dolphins - what’s not to like?
Land of Milk and Honey by C． Pam ZhangI loved Zhang’s first novel, How Much of These
Hills Is Gold, set in the 19th-century Old West. I highly, highly recommend it: Zhang is a phenomenal
writer. Her second book moves the action to the near future, where food crops are disappearing and a
smog is spreading. Hoping to escape her troubled reality, a chef takes a job in a mountaintop settlement
for the global elite (精英) and discovers plans to reshape the world.
Edge of Here by Kelechi OkaforWhat a treat this sounds: a short story collection to dip into in this
busiest of months. Okafor, who is host of the Say Your Mind podcast, sets out to explore contemporary
Black womanhood, but sets her stories in a Black Mirror version of the near future. There’s one in which
you can experience someone else’s emotions through a chip in your brain, one where you can view bits of
a distant relative’s life with help from your DNA．
60．If you want to know the life of a cook, which novel would you choose?
A．Edge of Here by Kelechi Okafor B．Starter Villain by John Scalzi
C．Creation Node by Stephen Baxter D．Land of Milk and Honey by C． Pam Zhang
61．What does the underlined phrase mean in the first paragraph?
A．A non-leading role. B．A viewer. C．A director D．A writing style.
62．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．In Fiction 2, the Solar System is getting colder.
B．In Fiction 3, a single teacher inherited his uncle’s business.
C．In Fiction 4, the author described events in the remote area.D．In Fiction 5, you can experience black life through brain chips.
(C)
Antibiotics, which can destroy or prevent the growth of bacteria and cure infections, are vital to modern medicine.
Their ability to kill bacteria without harming the patient has saved billions of lives and made surgical procedures much
safer. But after decades of overuse, their powers are fading. Some bacteria have evolved resistance, creating a growing army
of superbugs, against which there is little effective treatment. Antimicrobial (抗菌的) resistance, expected to kill 10 million
people a year by 2050 up from around 1 million in 2019, has been seen as a crisis by many.
It would be unwise to rely on new antibiotics to solve the problem. The rate at which resistance emerges is increasing.
Some new drugs last only two years before bacteria develop resistance. When new antibiotics do arrive, doctors often store
them, using them only reluctantly and for short periods when faced with the most persistent infections. That limits sales,
making new antibiotics an unappealing idea for most drug firms.
Governments have been trying to fix the problem by channeling cash into research in drug firms. That has produced
only limited improvements. But there is a phenomenon worth a look. Microbiologists have known for decades that disease-
causing bacteria can suffer from illnesses of their own. They are supersensitive to attacks by phages, specialized viruses that
infect bacteria and often kill them. Phages are considered a promising alternative to antibiotics.
Using one disease-causing virus to fight bacteria has several advantages. Like antibiotics, phages only tend to choose
particular targets, leaving human cells alone as they infect and destroy bacterial ones. Unlike antibiotics, phages can evolve
just as readily as bacteria can, meaning that even if bacteria do develop resistance, phages may be able to evolve around
them in turn.
That, at least, is the theory. The trouble with phages is that comparatively little is known about them. After the
discovery of penicillin, the first antibiotic, in 1928, they were largely ignored in the West. Given the severity of the
antibiotic-resistance problem, it would be a good idea to find out more about them.
The first step is to run more clinical trials. Interest from Western firms is growing. But it is being held back by the fact
that phages are an even less appealing investment than antibiotics. Since they are natural living things, there may be trouble
patenting them, making it hard to recover any investment.
Governments can help fun d basic research into phage treatment and clarify the law around exactly what is and is not
patentable. In time they can set up phage banks so as to make production cheaper. And they can spread awareness of the
risks of overusing antibiotics, and the potential benefits of phages.
63．We can learn from paragraphs 1 and 2 that .
A．doctors tend to use new antibiotics when the patients ask for them
B．antimicrobial resistance is developing more rapidly than predicted
C．new antibiotics fail to attract drug firms due to limited use of themD．previous antibiotics are effective in solving modern health problems
64．What is phages’ advantage over antibiotics?
A．They can increase human cells when fighting bacteria.
B．They are not particular about which cells to infect and kill.
C．They can evolve accordingly when bacteria develop resistance.
D．They are too sensitive to be infected by disease-causing bacteria.
65．According to the passage, the obstacle to phage treatment is that .
A．there is little chance of patenting phages in the future
B．governments provide financial support for other research
C．the emergence of superbugs holds back drug firms’ interest
D．over-dependence on antibiotics distracts attention from phages
66．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Governments fail to stop the use of antibiotics.
B．Phages could help prevent an antibiotics crisis.
C．Development of antibiotics is limited by phages.
D．Antimicrobial resistance calls for new antibiotics.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once.
Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A．Here we show how this work translates to humans.
B．Many college students experience irregular and insufficient sleep.
C．The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at three universities.
D．Most surprising to me was that no matter what we did to make the effect go away, it persisted.
E．The results are available in the Feb. 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
F．Total nightly sleep is a potentially important and underappreciated behavior supporting academic
achievement.
Nightly Sleep Is Key to Student Success
For young adults, college is a time of transition. It may be the first time students have the freedom to determine how to
spend their time, but this freedom comes with competing interests from academics, social events and even sleep.
A multi-institutional team of researchers conducted the first study to evaluate how the duration of nightly sleep early in
the semester affects first year college students’ end-of-semester grade point average (GPA). Using sleep trackers, they found
that students on average sleep 6.5 hours a night, but negative outcomes built up when students received less than six hours
of sleep a night. 67
David Creswell, the William S. Dietrich II Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College ofHumanities and Social Sciences, led a team of researchers to evaluate the relationship between sleep and GPA．
“Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,” said Creswell. “ 68 The less nightly
sleep a first-year college student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the term. Lack of
sleep may be hurting students’ ability to learn in their college classrooms.”
69 The researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced
decline in academic performance. In addition, each hour of sleep lost corresponded to (相对应) a 0.07 decrease in end-of-
term GPA．
“Once you start dropping below six hours, you are starting to add massive sleep debt that can harm a student’s health
and study habits, damaging the whole system,” said Creswell. “ 70 ”
“A popular belief among college students is valuing studying more or partying more over nightly sleep,” said Creswell.
“Our work here suggests that there are potentially real costs to reducing your nightly sleep on your ability to learn and
achieve in college. There’s real value in budgeting for the importance of nightly sleep.”

Why Should We Read Literary Classics?
Many have grown up on a healthy diet of literary classics. Some literary classics have been inspiring readers in many
ways. In this age of fast-turners, how does investing our time in a timeless literary classic change us for the better?
Many literary classics from yesteryear, which got little or no success when published, are considered invaluable. These
books offer a window through which we can experience histories rooted in different cultures. One can always ask, “But we
can do so by reading our history books too. Why do we need to read classics?” The simple answer is that these literary
classics are not just a retelling of history. They allow us to have a more individualized experience, where they show us other
ways to look at history.
It is common knowledge that reading as a habit helps us improve our command of the language. But literary classics
have an edge: the enriching writing style is something that sets them apart. Fascinated with the amazing wording and
phrasing, we’ll surely pause and wonder about what we read. For instance, when we read Shakespeare, we naturally begin
to consider how to better express our ideas just like his far-reaching “Have more than you show; speak less than you know.”
One more benefit is that after reading classics, we won’t see non-classics as just other stories: we’ll become interested
in them. Maybe we’ll realize that some details we ignored last time are actually worth appreciating, or we’ll discover
literary devices that bring a whole new meaning to the story. Literary classics offer us more perspectives to dig deep and
enhance our ability to think and reason, which will inevitably spill over into our reading of other works. We finally fall in
love with non-classics as well.___________________________________________________________________________________________________
