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. Hello, I’m Everything Oholic Have you always blamed your chocolate habit and inability to stop smoking on your ‘addictive’ personality? According to science, there’s no such thing… It’s a widely ____1____ (hold) belief that some people are just hardwired to be addicted. But is there actually any evidence ____2____ this? According to addiction expert Prof Robert West, there isn’t. However, there are personality characteristics, like anxiety, depression and impulse control problems, that ____3____ make a person 的 more vulnerable (易受伤害 ) to addiction. He says this is an important distinction, because the term ‘addictive personality’ implies that if a person stops one additive behaviour, they’ll just start another, and that’s not what happens. If a person has underlying risk factors for addiction, ____4____ it’s related to their mental health, their personality, or other factors such as a family history, then stopping one behaviour will not then make them immune (免疫的) to the risk of other addictions. But they won’t be more at risk of another addiction just ____5____ they overcame one. West points to research____6____ investigated the impact of stopping smoking on a person’s drinking behaviour. Studies have found that when people stop smoking, they also show a short-term reduction in alcohol consumption, which gradually returns to the level it was at before ____7____ (quit) smoking. But alcohol consumption doesn’t increase after they stop smoking, and the same is true of smoking heaviness when people give up alcohol. “If anything, stopping ____8____ can be helpful in stopping or reducing the other,” says West. Of course, there are exceptions and stories of individuals who have given up one substance or behaviour, only____9____ (have) another take over their lives. According to West, while the vulnerabilities are still there, there’s no evidence that an 第 3 页 共 13 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 ) addictive personality_____10_____ (exist). Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A literally B. barrier C. Eventually D. find . E. examines F. features G. innovations H. mean I. professional J. striking K. well-positioned The Best Company to Work For Every year, Fortune magazine published a list of the ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’. How does the magazine choose the companies? Firstly, it uses a survey: 350 employees answer 57 questions about their company. Secondly, Fortune looks at important ___11___ of companies: for example, pay, benefits, and communication between workers and management. Finally, the magazine ___12___ the results to find its Top 100. Wegmans Food Markets, which ranks No. 1 on the list, has a motto (座右铭), ‘Employees first, customers second’, and it is also one of the 50 largest private companies in the US, with annual sales of $3.6 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Apparently, being good to your employees is no ___13___ to making money. How much of Wegmans’ success is due to the company’s policies? ‘Up to a point, the success is because of the freedom they give us,’ says one employee. ‘On the other hand, no company gets rich just by not being ___14___ to its employees. Wegmans has great marketing strategies and it’s ___15___ within the community. I’ve been here for 15 years. Looking back, I’d say that the company’s ___16___ for customers, such as the Shoppers’ Club electronic discount programme in the 1990s, have been just as important as the benefits to staff. ’ But the employee benefits are ___17___. Fundamentally, Wegmans believes in ___18___ development. As well as scholarships, the company gives its employees business opportunities. For years, one employee made delicious cookies for her colleagues. ___19___, she started selling the cookies in Wegmans. ‘I just asked the manager,’ she says. ‘While looking back, I think should have asked earlier. I could have made more money!’ The staff’s freedom to make decisions is another thing you won’t ____20____ everywhere. Essentially, Wegmans wants its workers to do almost anything to please the customers. Believe it or not, an employee once cooked a Thanksgiving turkey in the store for a customer because the woman’s turkey, bought in Wegmans, was too big for her oven. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, 第 4 页 共 13 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 ) B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. “Look both ways before you cross the street! Look left, right and left again!” These classic childhood ___21___ lessons are passed on from generation to generation. Yet traffic accidents remain one of the most common ___22___ of injuries and deaths for children around the world. Past studies have found that youngsters are less good at ___23___ road hazards than adults, but Anat Meir, a lecturer in industrial engineering and management at Ben-Gurion University of the Negeve and the Holon Institute of Technology in Israel, wanted to pinpoint exactly which behaviors lead to accidents, with the goal of finding ways to ___24___ them. To do that without putting anyone in danger, she turned to virtual reality. In 2013 Meir and her colleagues simulated (模拟) 18 streets in Israel and used an eye-tracking device to study how 46 adults and children (ranging in age from seven to 13) evaluated when it was safe to cross. Children aged seven to nine, they found, exhibited the least ___25___ when crossing, typically deciding to step into the virtual road with little or no hesitation, even when their field of vision was restricted. “We had parents looking on who were like, ‘Wow, I cannot believe my child just crossed there!’” Meir says. “It caused them to ___26___ their child’s road-crossing abilities.” The older children did not perform much ___27___, though for different reasons. They often stayed on the curb (路缘) for an improper amount of time—a(n) ___28___ that they are less able to distinguish between safe and hazardous situations than adults—and in interviews did not express an understanding of how ___29___ such as car speed and field of vision affect crossing safety. ___30___ do seem to improve crossing success. In Meir’s most recent study, described in Accident Analysis & Prevention, two dozen seven-to nine-year-olds underwent 40 minutes of hazard-detection training. Afterward, Meir and her colleagues ___31___ trainees’ and control kids’ performances in the virtual road-crossing task. The children who ___32___ safety instructions were significantly better at crossing than the control subjects—to the point that their crossing skills were similar to those of adults. Next, Meir and policy makers aim to figure out how to translate these findings into the ___33___ world. “These results are important because you cannot find solutions without a(n) ___34___ of the problem,” says Joseph Kearney, a professor of computer science at the University of Iowa. “Now it’s up to people with their feet on the ground to determine how they can develop ___35___ programs for children and for parents about good road-crossing habits.” 21. A. safety B. science C. vision D. indication 22. A. sources B. categories C. levels D. results 23. A. encountering B. identifying C. presenting D. recalling 24. A. perform B. ignore C. correct D. define 第 5 页 共 13 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 ) 25. A. caution B. interest C. emotion D. relief 26. A. record B. recover C. reinvent D. reassess 27. A. worse B. better C. more quickly D. more slowly 28. A. decision B. indication C. prediction D. instruction 29.

A. designed B. revealed C. emphasized D. received 33. A. outside B. old C. real D. modern 34. A. feature B. tackling C. intensity D. understanding 35. A. testing B. learning C. training D. planning 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) Visitors to HENN-NA, a restaurant outside Nagasaki, Japan, are greeted by an odd sight: their food being prepared by a row of humanoid robots that look like the Terminator. H. I. S., the company that runs the restaurant, as well as a nearby hotel where robots check guests into their rooms and help with their luggage, turned to automation partly out of necessity. Japan’s population is shrinking, and its economy is booming; the unemployment rate is only 2.8 percent. “Using robots makes a lot of sense in a country like Japan,” said CEO Hideo Sawada. Sawada predicts that 70 percent of the jobs at Japan’s hotels will be automated in the next five years. “It takes about a year to two to get your money back,” he said. “But since you can work them 24 hours a day, and they don’t need vacation, eventually it’s more cost-efficient to use the robot.” This may seem like a vision of the future best suited—perhaps only suited—to Japan. But according to Michael Chui, a partner at the McKinsey Global Institute, many tasks in the food-service and accommodation industry are exactly the kind that are easily automated. Chui’s latest research estimates that 54 percent of the tasks workers perform in American restaurants and hotels could be automated using currently available technologies. The robots, in fact, are already here. Chowbotics, a company in Redwood City, California, manufactures Sally, a boxy robot that prepares salads ordered on a touch screen. Botlr, a robot butler, now brings guests extra towels and toiletries in dozens of hotels around the country. This seems to be worrying. America’s economy isn’t developing nearly as smoothly as Japan’s, and one of the 第 6 页 共 13 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 ) few bright spots in recent years has been employment in restaurants and hotels, which have added more jobs than almost any other industry. That growth, in fact, has helped dull the blow that automation has delivered to other industries. The food-service and accommodation industry now employs 13. 7 million American. Since 2013, it has accounted for more jobs than manufacturing. These new positions once seemed safe from robots because they required a human touch in a way that manufacturing or mining jobs did not. When ordering a coffee or checking into a hotel, human beings want to interact with other human beings—or so we thought. The companies bringing robots into the service industry are betting that we’ll be happy to trade our relationship with robotic waiters or clerks for greater efficiency. They’re also confident that adding robots won’t necessarily mean cutting human jobs. 36. According to the writer, why was it partly out of necessity that H. I. S. turned to automation? A. It’s hard to find employees in Japan. B. The Japanese are used to using robots. C. Robotic technology is advanced in Japan. D. Japan’s economy develops less fast than expected. 37. According to Michael Chui which of the following statements is true? , A. It is no easy job to automate tasks in the hotel industry. B. Restaurant workers can be easily replaced by robots. C. Technologies need upgrading to pave the way for robotic waiters. D. Robots now perform 54% of the tasks in American restaurants and hotels. 38. Why does the automation in American restaurants and hotels seem worrying? A. The manufacturing industry is waiting to be automated. B. America’s economy is developing at an unexpected rate. C. Automation has already had a negative effect on the service industry. D. These two industries contribute much to America’s employment rate. 39. It can be inferred that companies bringing robots into the service industry think that ________. A. the human touch may not matter that much B. profit is more important than customer satisfaction C. manufacturing or mining jobs require human interaction D. robots will rob humans of their jobs at the cost of efficiency (B) Colleague Council Meeting 3rd Oct 20 第 7 页 共 13 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 ) Chairperson: Jane Simmons Minutes Secretary: Liz Bateman 1 Welcome Jane Simmons welcomed all colleagues to the meeting. She explained the aim of the Colleague Council—issues which are of concern to staff members can be raised and discussed by the group, and then addressed to Personnel Manager, Penny Kacelnik, in the second half of the meeting. Meetings will be held four times a year. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES 2 Lifting of International call barring The council asked if it would be possible to have the phone system changed so that international calls can be made. All phones in Sales & Marketing will be modified in November to allow for international calls. Anyone else who needs to call overseas should contact Asif Din in IT. 3 Recycling of paper The council enquired if the correct route for raising recycling issues was through John Evans, Office Services Manager. Penny agreed that this was the correct route. She also added that she would welcome everyone looking at the paper they use and cutting down if possible. Individuals are reminded that they can also make a difference by turning lights and monitors etc. off. 4 Healthy snack options in snack machines The council requested that a healthy range of snacks be available from the snack machine. Penny reminded everyone that the canteen offers healthy lunch-time options. She will discuss the contents of the machine with the leasers (租赁方) when the lease comes up for renewal next month. Feedback to be given at Jan meeting. 5 Removal of study grants The council expressed regret that study grants for non-professional courses were no longer available. People should be encouraged to take language courses, for example, given our growing international market. Penny explained that Management felt this money could be better used on paying for courses which would lead to professional qualifications, such as Accountancy, Credit Control. She also suggested that in-house language courses could be taught by members of staff. Next Meeting: Will be January, precise date to be confirmed Attendees: Louisa Barlow, Gary Brown, Natalie Cole, Orla Doyle, Tariq Ali, Penny Kacelnik (Personnel Officer) 第 8 页 共 13 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 ) 40. The word “Minutes” is closest in meaning to “________”. A. unexpected emergencies B. the duration of a meeting C. written records of a meeting D suggestions from employees . 41. What proposal did the Colleague Council put forward? A. Holding the Colleague Council Meeting four times a year. B. Allowing the employees to make international calls. C. Dealing with documents on the computer instead of on paper. D. Asking the canteen to provide more healthy lunch options. 42. What suggestion did Penny Kacelnik give to those who want to take language courses? A. Shifting to a course leading to professional qualifications. B. Applying to the Personnel Office for a special grant. C. Turning to a colleague who speaks that language. D. Referring to the growing international market. (C) We are encountering real-world examples of how AI can harm human relations. As digital assistants such as Alexa or Siri become popular, we are becoming accustomed to talking to them as though they were alive; writing in these pages last year, Judith Shulevitz described how some of us are starting to treat them as friends and therapists. Shulevitz herself says she confesses things to Google Assistant that she wouldn’t tell her husband. If we grow more comfortable talking to our devices about our secrets, what happens to our human marriages and friendships? Designers and programmers typically create devices whose responses make us feel better—but may not help us be self-reflective or think over painful truths. As AI goes deeper into our lives, we must face the possibility that it will prevent our emotions and deep human connects. Besides, we will fight with some other challenges. The age of driverless cars, after all, is upon us. These vehicles promise to substantially reduce the exhaustion and distraction that put human drivers in danger, thus preventing accidents. But what other effects might they have on people? Driving is a very modern kind of social interaction, requiring high levels of cooperation. I worry that driverless cars, by taking away from us an occasion to exercise this ability, could contribute to its decline. Not only will these vehicles be programmed to take over driving duties and hence to remove from humans the power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is inevitable), they will 第 9 页 共 13 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 ) also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact. For instance, drivers who have steered awhile alongside an autonomous vehicle traveling at a steady, invariant speed might drive less attentively, thus increasing their likelihood of accidents once they’ve moved to a part of the highway occupied only by human drivers. Alternatively, experience may reveal that driving alongside autonomous vehicles travelling in perfect accordance with traffic laws actually improves human performance. Either way, we should be careful to launch new forms of AI without first taking such social spillovers—or externalities, as they’re often called—into account. We must apply the same effort that we apply to the hardware and software that make self-driving cars possible to managing AI’s potential effects on those outside the car. After all, we install brake lights on the back of your car not just, or even primarily, for your benefit, but for the sake of the people behind you. 43. What can be inferred about human relationships from the first paragraph? A. We will feel comfortable speaking to others online. B. AI will lead to shallow inter-personal relationships. C. AI will enable people to communicate more with others. D. We will be more self-reflective in interaction thanks to AI. 44. In paragraph 2, the phrase “its decline” refers to the decline in ________. A. drivers’ interaction with the cars B. drivers’ exhaustion and distraction C. our ability to cooperate with others while driving D. our ability to deal with emergencies while driving 45. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of driverless cars? A. They may be better at making more judgments than human drivers. B. They need to vary their speed to make contact with human drivers. C. They may make human drivers in other cars drive more safely. D. They need to force human drivers to concentrate in the car. 46. Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Brake lights on the back of our car are installed mainly to warn us of danger. B. We should figure out how new technology affects people before developing it. C. It is hard to say why social spillovers will work in terms of self-driving cars. D. More effort should be made to advance the hardware and software of driverless cars. Section C 第 10 页 共 13 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 ) Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Authenticating Sushi … and Picassos A recent study of the seafood industry by Oceana, a conservation group, found that, nationwide, grocery stores mislabeled nearly one-fifth of all the fish they sold. Sushi restaurants were even worse, serving a fish other than what was promised on the menu three-quarters of the time. ___47___ But some merchants seemed to substitute cheap fish like tilapia for more expensive fare on purpose. DNA bar coding can help uncover such practices. By taking a bit of muscle from a fish and sequencing (测定 序列) the DNA inside, scientists can quickly tell one species from another. Bar-coding technology is accessible enough that high-school students have used it to expose fraud (骗局) at restaurants. ___48___ And they can see for themselves whether they’re really getting the bluefin tuna they ordered. ___49___ Billions of dollars’ worth of art changes hands every year, and some experts estimate that 40 percent of it is fake. Professional authentication can help, but recent stories involving works said to have been painted by Jackson Pollock, Amedeo Modigliani, and others have shown that a skillful forger (制作赝品者) can fool even the most respected experts. ___50___ Rather than using the artist’s own DNA—which a thief could lift from clothes, rubbish, or hairs—these labels would contain DNA from another creature, with pieces of synthetic DNA woven in. To authenticate the piece, scientists would take DNA from the label, sequence the synthetic hits, and consult a database. Only if the sequence matched the database record would the piece be pronounced genuine. A. Art is another area where forgery is decreasing due to the resulting profits. B. DNA could be used to expose fraud in the art world, too. C. If the technology continues to evolve, consumers could someday bring handheld bar coders to the table. D. Simple confusion might explain some of the differences, since fish species can be hard to tell apart. E. The DNA molecule is capable of storing vast amounts of data and can survive for thousands of years. F. To solve this problem, some scientists have suggested attaching a small plastic label full of DNA to works of art. IV .Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage.

A Brief History of Silk Comfortable to wear whether the weather is hot or cold, silk is as popular today as it was 5,000 years ago when it was first manufactured. However, the history of silk has not always been as smooth as the fabric (织物) itself. Today’s basic silk-production process has changed very little since it first began. The fabric comes from 第 11 页 共 13 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 ) silkworms which, although tiny when born, grow rapidly in size. Indeed, on a strict diet of mulberry leaves, it is estimated that they increase in weight by 10,000% over the first six weeks of their life. When they are fully grown, the silkworms create a cocoon—a protective shell made of silk. They then crawl inside in order to prepare for their next stage of development. However, for commercial silk production, these cocoons are then boiled, killing the worm inside, to ensure that the silk is not damaged. After this, the silk is gathered and prepared. A single cocoon can produce between 300 and 900 metres of silk thread. Although today silk is both grown and worn worldwide, the original production of silk was restricted to China. Likewise, in the sixth century, two monks managed to take some eggs all the way back to their native Byzantium (modern-day Istanbul, in Turkey). This was an event of great importance, since Europe was form that point able to manufacture its own silk. Before the monks’ success in bringing the silkworms out of China, Europeans were dependent on merchants bringing the fabric from East Asia across the mountain roads of Central Asia and the Middle East. Indeed, so much silk was transported that this trade route became known as Silk Road. Although man-made fibres (纤维) are cheaper and easier to manufacture, the beauty of silk is difficult to match, and there is always likely to be a large international market. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________ V.
