On January 10, Uganda reopened schools after the longest closure in the world____11____ the coronavirus
pandemic. For most students, it was their first time back in the classroom in nearly two years.
When the buildings first shuttered, the Ministry ofEducation broadcast lessons on TV and radio stations, and
some schools handed out printed materials. But this did not last for lack of funding. So the ____12____ (estimate)
15 million children affected by this closure put their studies on hold.
Uganda’s National Planning Authority in August 2021 projected that 4.5 million of them will likely not return
to school. The reasons for the dropouts are manifold. The teen pregnancy rate rose significantly. And many poor
children in urban and rural areas____13____ (force) to start working to help support their families.，“They turned
children into laborers and that was a loss, especially for a family that has relied for almost two years on child labor,”
says Munir Safieldin, the UNICEF Uganda representative.
Plus, in an economy pinched by the pandemic, many families cannot currently afford the fees, ____14____ start
at about $135 per term for high school, and other costs (including academic materials and uniforms).
Children who are able to return school have been promoted one grade level, a decision made by the Ministry of
Education to guarantee spots for newly ____15____ (enter) students. But many families and experts are concerned.
Mary Goretti Nakabugo, the executive director of Uwezo Uganda, a nonprofit organization working____16____
(promote) equitable quality education, argues that even before the closure, many of Uganda’s younger students had
not yet acquired basic fundamentals, such as reading and understanding a text. “This is the time for us to rethink our
curriculum, our teaching and learning, ____17____students who are unprepared for classes will only end up even
____18____ (far) behind.”

his dad’s financial help combined with his personal savings allowed Jonathan to open a fruit and vegetable
stall. ”Before the lockdown, I never knew how to fend for ____20____ , but now I don’t even need to ask for money
to buy clothes.“ Still, Jonathan longed to get back to class. ”The day a date was announced for us to resume school,
I washed my uniforms, bags and polished my shoes, that’s how excited I was to get back.”

Climate Change
When global warming finally came, it came aggressively. In some regions, temperatures rose several degrees in
less than a century. Sea levels shot up nearly 40 feet, flooding coastal settlements and forcing people to
_____21_____inland. Deserts spread throughout the world as vegetation shifted greatly in North America, Europe
and Asia. After driving many of the animals around them to near extinction, people were forced to abandon their old
way of life for a new_____22_____strategy that resulted in widespread starvation and disease.
As environmentalists meet in Rio de Janeiro this week to think carefully about the global climate of the future,
earth scientists are in the middle of a(n) _____23_____in understanding how climate has changed in the past and
how those changes have transformed human existence. Researchers have begun to _____24_____together an

cold, wet to dry and back again over a time period _____25_____back hundreds of millions of years.
Most importantly, scientists are beginning to realize that the _____26_____ changes have had a major impact
on the evolution of the human species. New research now suggests that climate _____27_____ played a key role in
nearly every significant turning point in human evolution. Indeed, the human history has not been _____28_____
touched by global climate change. Some scientists argue it has in some instances been driven by it.
The new research has far-reaching _____29_____ for the environment summit in Rio. Among other things, the
findings demonstrate that dramatic climate change is nothing new for planet Earth. The pleasant global environment
that has existed over the past 10,000 years is a mere bright spot in a much larger pattern of widely

III. Reading Comprehension
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.
What’s the purpose of philosophy? Alfred North Whitehead characterized it as a series of footnotes to Plato. On
the surface, we don’t seem to have _____31_____much in the two and a half millennia since Plato wrote his dialogues.
Today’s philosophers still struggle with many of the same issues that exercised the Greeks.
Compared with philosophy, science has been one long_____32_____story since it took its modem form in the
17th century. It has uncovered the workings of nature and brought untold benefits to humanity.
_____33_____, not all philosophers are troubled by this contrast. For some, the worth of philosophy lies in the
process, not the product. According to Socrates’ statement—“The unexamined life is not worth living?”—they hold
that _____34_____ on the human statement is valuable in itself. Others take their lead from Marx—“The philosophers
have only interpreted the world—and view philosophy as an engine of political change, whose purpose is not to
reflect reality, but to change it. Even so, the majority of contemporary philosophers probably still think of philosophy
as a route to the _____35_____.
According to the “spin-off” theory of philosophical progress, all new sciences_____36_____ as branches of
philosophy, and only become established as separate disciplines once philosophy has granted them the essential
intellectual means to survive on their own. Then, it is _____37_____ to suppose the lack of progress in philosophy.
Whenever philosophy does make progress, it creates a new subject, which then no longer counts as part of philosophy.
That’s _____38_____ its progress is masked by the constant renaming of its intellectual fruits.
Philosophy hasn’t left everything to other university departments, and still _____39_____ plenty of its own
questions to exercise its own students. The _____40_____is that it doesn’t seem to have any definite answers. When
it comes to topics like morality, knowledge, free will, consciousness and so on, the lecturers still _____41_____a
range of options that have been around for a long time.
No doubt some of the_____42_____ between philosophy and science result from the different methods of
investigation that they employ. Where philosophy relies on analysis and argument, science is devoted to data. It is
_____43_____doubted that philosophers disagree more than scientists. But arguments have loopholes(漏洞).So
there is always plenty of room for philosophers to take issue with each other, where scientists by contrast have
to_____44_____what they are told.

Section B
Directions: Read the following two 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)
The number of devices you can talk to is multiplying—first it was your phone, then your car, and now you can
boss around your appliances. Children are likely to grow up thinking everything is alive, or at least interactive. One
app developer told The Washington that his son started talking to cup mats. But even without chatty devices, research
suggests that under certain circumstances, people personify everyday products.
Sometimes we see things as human because we’re lonely. In one experiment, people who reported feeling
isolated were more likely than others to attribute free will and consciousness to various devices. In turn, feeling being
related to objects can reduce loneliness. When college students were reminded of a time they’d been excluded socially,
they made it up by exaggerating their number of friends on social media - unless they were first given tasks that
第 8 页 共 16 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:
jiajiao6767 )
caused them to interact with their phone as if it had human qualities. The phone apparently stood in for real friends.
At other times, we personify products in an effort to understand them. One study found that three in four
respondents shouted at their computer and the more their computer gave them problems, the more likely they were
to report that it had “its own beliefs and desires”.
When we personify products, they become harder to cast off. After being asked to evaluate their car’s personality,
people were less likely to say they intended to replace it soon. And personifying objects is associated with a tendency
to hoard.
So how do people assign characteristics to an object? In part, we rely on looks. On humans, wide faces are
associated with dominance. Similarly, people rated cars, clocks, and watches with wide faces as more dominant
looking than narrow-faced ones and preferred them. An analysis of car sales in Germany found that cars with grilles
that were upturned like smiles and headlights like narrowed eyes sold best. The purchasers saw these features as
increasing a car’s friendliness and aggressiveness, respectively.
It’s little wonder so many companies use mascots to bring brands to life. A classification of 1,151 brand
characters found symbols that were human or humanlike to be widespread: People were most popular, accounting
for 21 percent of mascots, followed by birds, domesticated animals, wild animals, and various plants.
Personifying products and brands can backfire, however. When a coffee maker was personified in an ad (“I am
Aroma” versus just “Aroma”), men, but not women, felt betrayed by increases in its price. Now that speech- enabled
coffee makers are on the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back into men’s hearts.
46. Why would the son of an app developer in Paragraph 1 try to talk to cup mats?
A. Because he recognizes everything as being interactive.
B. Because he believes the cup mats have talked to him,
C. Because he wants to repeat the experience with Alexa.
D. Because he has strong interests in making conversation.
47. People are most likely to personify things when______.
A. they lack real life friends and are not able to make any
B. they find it hard to understand other people around them
C. they feel lonely and are aware of a desire for interaction
D. they become extremely angry with a certain product
48. Which of the following is true regarding the result of personifying products?
A. Dominant-looking cars sell best because we find them friendlier.
B. We find it harder to get rid of the things that we once personified.

C. Products with certain features are more likely to be personified.
D. We prefer good-looking products and are more likely to buy them.
49. Which of the following can probably make the most popular brand mascot according to the passage?
A. A good-looking dog.
B. Sunflowers.
C. Hello Kitty,
D. Super Mario Brothers.
(B)
The El Maestrazgo mountain region of Aragon is one of Spain’s most under-populated areas. There in the tiny
,
village of Aguaviva, Marcelo Martinez and Gilda Mazzeo, 35-year-old transplants from Buenos Aires, have been
learning to embrace their adopted home. “It’s not as isolated as it looks,” says Martinez, pointing out that the nearest
town is “only” 30 minutes away. Mazzeo less convinced, but even she is filled with emotion as she recalls how kindly
her children were treated when the family first arrived. “They gave us food, clothes, bicycles, everything.”
For the past two years, Aguaviva has been the center of a little-known plan to repopulate Spain’s remote villages
with families from Latin America. Settlers are attracted with prepaid flights, jobs, and housing — a ticket out of the
poverty that has spread much of their continent. Luis Bricio, Aguaviva’s mayor and founder of the Association of
Spanish Towns Against Depopulation, describes his venture as an effort to save places that would otherwise
“disappear.” Since the 1950s, reducing birthrates and migration to cities have left Spain with more than 2,000 ghost
towns. Many more villages are populated only by handfuls of people in their 80s.
Enter Argentina, a country struggling with an unemployment rate of 12%. In opinion polls, one-third of its
citizens have said they would leave if they could. Already, experts estimate, as many as 15,000 Argentines have
moved to Spain in the past year, nearly doubling the number already there. Just last week, Spain changed its laws to
allow mothers — not just fathers — to pass on nationality, doubling the number eligible (有资格的) to become
Spanish citizens to more than 720,000. In Teruel province, where Aguaviva lies, the population is now around 40%
of what it was in 1900. “There were only two ways to change the situation,” says Bricio. “Either force people to have
more babies or bring in young people from outside. We thought Latin Americans would integrate rapidly. They had
the language, the common history.” Bricio placed a classified advertisement in an Argentine paper and made an
announcement on a Buenos Aires radio station, targeting couples under 40 with at least two children. By the time he
arrived to give his presentation, there were already 6,000 people waiting to talk to him. “Argentina, there was very
little chance of work.” says Silvia Hernandez, 33, who recently moved to Teruel with her family. “The life our
第 10 页 共 16 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:
jiajiao6767 )
children have here, they could never have had in Argentina.”
Bricio’s association has now placed 106 adults and 142 children in Spanish villages — 112 of them in Aguaviva.
Two years ago, the province was so desperate that it staged a protest in Madrid under the slogan “Does Exist”. More
recently, a national paper ran a happier headline: “First baby born in Teruel village in 30 years.”
50. When Marcelo Martinez and Gilda Mazzeo moved to Aguaviva, they ________.
A. felt disappointed with what they saw B. lived in a town 30 minutes away
C. received help from locals D. failed to find any job
51. The little-known plan (in paragraph 2) was intended to________.
A. have more people to live in some almost deserted towns
B. find out why there are so many ghost towns in Spain
C calculate how many places are disappearing
.
D. prevent townspeople migrating to cities
52. What can be learned from the passage about Argentina and Spain?
A. Both of their populations are increasing.
B. Their citizens can communicate in Spanish.
C. They are both struggling for more employment.
D. Neither of them appeal to other Latin Americans.
53. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. The Land of Opportunity
B. New Life, New Challenge
C. Teruel Suffered in the Last 30 Years
D. Luis Bricio, an Adventurer in Foreign Affairs

Pioneers of the Pacific
No one is sure how they did it or even why they did it, but over 3,000 years ago people sailed into the enormous
emptiness of the Pacific Ocean in simple canoes. Within a few centuries, these people now known as the Lapita—
had migrated from Papua New Guinea to the island of Tonga, at least 2,000 miles to the east. ______54______And
they discovered and then inhabited dozens of tropical islands never before seen by human eyes: Vanuatu, New
第 11 页 共 16 页上海最大家教平台---嘉惠家教 2万余上海老师任您选（在职老师、机构老师、985学霸大学生应有尽有 ，+V:
jiajiao6767 )
Caledonia, Fiji, Samoa.
______55______Although their voyage began in the northern islands of Papua New Guinea, their language
came from Taiwan, and their style of pottery decoration probably had its roots in the northern Philippines. So who
were the Lapita? Did they come from a single point in Asia or from several different places?
Now, archaeologists Matthew Spriggs and Stuart Bedford of the Australian National University are working to
answer the questions. A Lapita cemetery on the island of fate in the Pacific nation of Vanuatu has revealed
information about Lapita customs, and DNA from the ancient bones may help to answer questions about the Lapita
people. “This represents the best opportunity we’ve had yet,” says Spriggs, to find out who the Lapita actually were,
where they came from, and who their closest descendants are today.”
______56______Atholl Anderson, professor of prehistory at the Australian National University, suggests that
El Nino, the same warming of ocean water that affects the Pacific today, may have helped. Climate data obtained
from slow-growing corals around the Pacific arid from lake-bed sediments in the Andes of Sou& America indicate a
series of unusually frequent El Nino around the time of the Lapita expansion. By reversing the regular east-to-west
flow of the trade winds for weeks at a time, these super El Nino might have carried the Lapita sailors on long,
unplanned voyages far over the horizon.
______57______Their descendants have inhabited the region for thousands of years, and why not? They’re
living in an island paradise that many of us only dream about.
A. However they arrived on the islands, the Lapita came to stay.
B. But even if the archaeologists can answer these questions, we still won’t know how the Lapita sailed so far east
against the trade winds, which normally blow from east to west.
C. Archaeologists have long been wondering about the reason why the Lapita left their home for a brand-new
world.
D. They explored millions of square miles of the Pacific.
E. Therefore, the Lapita gave us some new perspective to understand the Pacific.
F. There is much we do not know about the Lapita.

Common Characteristics of Folktales
Most of us know some very old folktales. People shared these stories orally for years before writing them down.
Since people told stories instead of writing them, the stories changed in between places and with each storyteller.
Each new storyteller made changes to the stories based on his own traditions and culture. For example, many cultures
have stories like the raven tale about how people got light. In these tales, though, the main character is another type
of animal.
Next, the characters in folktales are similar. They are usually ordinary characters who do extraordinary things.
They usually have only one or two strong characteristics. For instance, the chief in the Raven story is selfish and not
very smart. But Raven is very generous― e wants to help people. And he’s very clever as he finds a way to get the
light. In addition, often the characters in folktales are not people but animals with human qualities. They talk, make
plans, and have strong emotions. Small animals such as the popular spider and turtle play this role in West African
stories. In summary, the characters of folktales are simple but often clever in achieving their goals.

Finally, the plot, or what happens in the folktale, is usually exciting. Most folktales begin with an expression
like “a long time ago” and then move very quickly into the story, which starts with a problem. For instance, a strong,
bad character often gives a weaker character a task and promises something if he completes the task. The weaker
character often uses clever tricks, special skills, or magic to complete the task. In the end of a folktale, the good
characters usually win and the bad characters lose. In conclusion, the plot of a folktale is interesting.
So, in summary, we know that the tradition of folktales is very old. They are told all over the world, but they
share several of the same features, as said above.
