Young Enterprise Young Enterprise is an organization that makes serious efforts to teach all types of young people the general principles of running a business(21) __________( originate ) in the United States of America, the idea of Young Enterprise was introduced into Britain by a successful banker. (22)__________ it developed slowly in its early years, the organization grew rapidly later. Young Enterprise is now backed by industry and commerce, so that today young people throughout the United Kingdom can participate. A participant in Young Enterprise is known as an Achiever. Young Enterprise primarily meets the needs of young people ( 23 )__________ are still at school, giving them an understanding of industry and the opportunities it may offer them in the future. But it is usually possible (24 )__________ ( include ) young people in the same age group who have left school but have not yet started work. An Adviser is a practicing business executive (管理人员) with an expert knowledge of his own field who volunteers to keep a Young Enterprise company during its trading year.(25)__________counts for Advisers is an ability to get on with young people and to put across the subject. As the name(26)__________ (imply), Advisers are there to advise: they do not run the companies. 第3页 | 共18页Normally, three Advisers-one on accountancy, one on production and one on marketing, (27)__________ ( be ) available to each company. Young Enterprise makes (28)__________ a rule that the Advisers must come from a variety of business occupations.

A.digesting B.distinction C.examine D.identical E.intervening F.live G. mixture H.perspective I.shock J. space K. text 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 towards the 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 第4页 | 共18页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. 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. For the past five years. I've been examining the pros and cons of reading on-screen versus in print. The _______bottom line is that while digital devices may be fine for reading that we don't intend to (41 ) _______or reread, text that requires what's been called “deep reading”is nearly always better done in print. 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 第5页 | 共18页for schoolwork. If a text is long, 92 percent would choose hard copy. For (44) _______texts, it's a toss-up. Digital reading also (45 ) _______distraction and invites multitasking. Among American and Japanese subjects, 92 percent reported it was easiest to concentrate when reading in hard copy.(The figure for Germany 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 simultaneously juggling Facebook and booking a vacation fight. You get the point. Several open-ended questions on my survey were particularly (48 )_______. I asked what people liked most ( and least) about reading in each medium. Common (49)_______for what students liked most about 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 it wasn't " real reading, " while respondents from all three countries complained that they “get distracted” or“ 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 humanities. We need to think more carefully about students' mounting rejection of long-form reading , now (55 )_________ by digital technologies that further complicate our struggle to engage students in serious text-based inquiry. 41.

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) Until I was six,my family lived in a rural part of the state, in the remote Alaska native village of Fort 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 第7页 | 共18页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 the commercials 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. 56. What did the author learn from TV when they lived on Fort Yukon? A. They learned about the furnishings of the restaurant. B. They learned about a variety of delicious food that they had never eaten before. C. They learned about the production process of the Wizard of Oz film. D. They learned about the world outside of the town. 第8页 | 共18页57. What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph refer to? A. Adapting to Judy's, you can get a foothold in a big city. B. Judy's is very popular with migrant workers in every city. C. Weekend life without Judy's food can be extremely difficult. D. Judy's has a pivotal role in fast-paced cities. 58. What was their attitude towards Judy's when they moved to Fairbanks? A. They almost stopped visiting fast-food restaurants. B. They still yearned for the fast food restaurants. C. They quit the habit of eating fast food in Judy's. D. They chose healthier foods instead of fast food. 59. What is the last paragraph of the passage about? A. The review of daily work. B. The nostalgia(怀旧)for their home town. C. The transition in lifestyle. D. The way of daily commute.

Scarlet macaws and humans (C) 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 and the 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. 第11页 | 共18页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. 62. 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. 63. 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. 64. 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. 65. 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. Section C 第12页 | 共18页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 第13页 | 共18页need. 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. 第14页 | 共18页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.

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. 71.___________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ 第16页 | 共18页_________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________- V.
