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 Salt was so valuable in ancient Rome that soldiers were sometimes paid with it. In fact, the word salary comes from the Latin word sal, for salt. When a soldier was doing an awful job, his paycheck might be cut, which is how we got the expression “not worth his salt.” Salt can still be valuable today. Amethyst Bamboo 9x salt, which rings up at &398 a pound, may be the most expensive in the world. This pricey stuff takes a lot of time to produce — it’s roasted nine times inside a bamboo pole at temperatures over 1,400 degrees F. Historically, salt’s value came from its ability to preserve food. Venice, Italy, may be famous for its canals now, but salt imports helped its rise as an important trade power by the end of the 13th century. Salt also took on a great deal of symbolic value, like “old salt” referring to an experienced sailor. Salt is mentioned so many times in the Bible. For instance, “the salt of the earth” is used to describe a person who is dependable; “a covenant of salt” means a firm promise. Most people know about the health risks associated with sodium (钠), but reducing your intake isn’t always easy. Even foods that don’t taste salty may contain it. If you are looking for sodium-free flavoring, try garlic, pepper, rosemary and other spices or herbs. Still, we all need at least some salt. It promotes the transport of nutrients and oxygen, allows nerves to send messages, and helps our muscle work. The average adult’s body contains about 250 grams of sodium. Consumption of too much salt can be deadly. For older folks especially, a heavy hand with the saltshaker may raise blood pressure, causing hypertension and hurt the head. A study of 975 people between the ages of 60 to 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 ) 80 and with high blood pressure found that reducing sodium in their diets was associated with lower risk of headache. 46. Choose one expression with “salt” and make the following sentence logic: “Jerry is truly __________. You see, all his students trust him so much.” A. worth their salt B. old salt C a covenant of salt D. the salt of the earth . 47. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The more expensive salt is, the longer it takes to produce. B. Old people with hypertension should choose sodium-free food. C. Salt is much more than a simple cooking element added to food. D. Salt imports can establish a country as an international trade power. 48. What does the underlined word “saltshaker” refer to? A. A recipe. B. A container. C. A gesture. D. A disease. 49. What is the passage mainly talking about? A. Objective knowledge of salt. B. Advice on healthier eating habits. C. Various amazing values of salt. D. Tips on reducing the health risk of salt.

C Neuro-technology has long been a favourite of science-fiction writers. In “Neuromancer”, a wildly inventive book by William Gibson written in 1984, people can use neural(神经的) implants to get into the sensory experiences of others. Iain M. Banks came up with the idea of a neural lace, a mesh (网格) that grows into the brain, in his “Culture” series of novels. “The Terminal Man” by Michael Crichton, published in 1972, imagines the effects of a brain implant on someone who is convinced that machines are taking over from humans. Where the sci-fi led, philosophers are now starting to follow. In Howard Chizeck’s lab at the University of Washington, researchers are working on an implanted device to administer deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in order to treat a common movement disorder called essential tremor. Traditionally, DBS stimulation is always on, wasting energy and robbing the patient of a sense of control. The lab’s ethicist (伦理学家), Tim Brown, a doctoral student of philosophy, says that some DBS patients suffer a sense of isolation and complain of feeling like a robot. To change that, the team at the University of Washington is using neuronal activity associated with intentional movements to turn the device on. But the researchers also want to enable patients to use a conscious thought process to override these settings. That is more useful than it might sound: stimulation currents for essential tremor 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 ) can cause side-effects like distorted (失真的) speech, so someone about to give a presentation, say, might wish to shake rather than make his words unclear. Giving humans more options of this sort will be essential if some of the more advanced visions for brain-computer interfaces are to be realized. Hannah Maslen from the University of Oxford is another ethicist who works on a BCI project. One of her jobs is to think through the distinctions between inner speech and public speech: people need a dependable mechanism for separating what they want to say from what they think. That is only one of many ethical questions that the sci-fi versions of brain-computer interfaces bring up. What protection will BCIs offer against neural hacking? Who owns neural data, including information that is gathered for research purposes now but may be understandable in detail at some point in the future? Where does accountability lie if a user does something wrong? And if brain implants are performed not for treatment but to improve people’s abilities, will that make the world an even more unequal place? 53. What do the three books mentioned in paragraph 1 have in common? A. They are all among what philosophers like best. B. They all tell the stories well beyond imagination. C. They are all works of the greatest sci-fi writers of the time. D. They all deal with people’s losing control of their brains. 54. The research of the team at the University of Washington is intended to _____. A. improve the accuracy of DBS B. let patients decide when to turn on DBS C. get rid of the side effects of DBS currents D. separate what we think from what we say 55. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Neuronal activity fails to work without intentional movements. B. Brain-computer interfaces do more harm than good. C. People suffering from essential tremor will shake. D. DBS settings cannot be changed once fixed. 56. What will the passage most probably talk about next? A. How these questions will be handled. B. Why these questions used to be ignored. C. Which questions come from science fiction. D. Who has first raised these questions. Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the 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 ) box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Ways to Be More Efficient Not all tasks of the day are inspiring, fun or exciting. But you still have to wash those dishes and take care of those routine tasks at work or in school. So what can you do not to get lost in procrastination(拖延)? I’ll share how I do it, how I get some motivation and find more pleasure in what may seem to be a boring task. Instead of focusing your mind on how boring a task may feel, focus your thoughts on why you are doing this and how good it will feel when you are done with it. If needed, sit down for a few minutes, close your eyes and see in your mind. Then go to work with that motivation and those positive feelings in your body. Do it attentively. _____57_____ Focus 100% on just the work with all your senses—how it feels, looks and smells—as you are scrubbing it and nothing else. Don’t get lost in daydreams. If you are just there, I have found that even such a simple task becomes more enjoyable and something that can bring inner calm rather than distress. Make a deal with yourself and set a timer for 10 minutes. It is often easier to do tasks like these in small bursts. So make a deal with yourself to just spend 10 minutes on your reading or cleaning the house. ___58___ When the timer rings you can continue doing it if you feel like it (this often happens to me because getting started is the hard part). Or you can stop and go to do something more interesting instead. Create a pleasurable distraction. If possible, try to listen to the radio, your favorite songs, an audio book or watch a movie or TV episode while doing your boring task. _____59_____ I often listen to music or watch an episode of the Simpsons while doing the dishes or other routine work at home. ___60___ Take a walk in the sun. Move on to a more fun or creative task at work or in school. Have a tasty treat. This habit can make it easier to get started and to keep going each day. Because you know that you can look forward to not just being done and the long-term payoff from that but also your immediate reward right after you are finished. A. When you are done with your task then reward yourself. B. Make sure you only rest for 10 minutes. C. Or you can work harder and start an even bigger project. D. Set a kitchen timer and say to yourself that you only have to do this work for 10 minutes. E. When you sort papers, do the laundry or do the dishes, be fully there. F. You don’t always have to do just one thing at a time in silence. 第 12 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 ) IV.Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 61. 南瓜原产于北美洲,于明代传入中国。(introduce)(汉译英) 62. 正因为他相信熟能生巧,他的英语才能讲得这么流利。(It)(汉译英) 63. 大多数学生饱受缺乏睡眠之苦,这导致他们在上课时无法集中注意力。(concentrate)(汉译英) 64. 即使他们采纳专家的建议,也决不能在执行计划的过程中掉以轻心,否则将会功亏一篑。(In no case) (汉译英) V.
