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.
Getting Over The “Ick”
Getting the “ick” can ruin a budding romance or an ongoing date. It’s that sudden feeling of disgust 21
makes you want to back away. Maybe you heard them make an awkward noise, mock someone unfairly, or eat
messily. Once the “ick” sets in, it’s hard to shake off, leaving you questioning 22 to move forward.
Disgust, though often overlooked in research, is a strong, primal (原始的) emotion. Like fear or anger, it’s
triggered in specific situations and 23 (vary) between individuals. While some reactions are universal —
like disgust at rotting food or unhygienic acts — people with high sensitivity to disgust might feel it even in slight
situations, such as a partner’s 24 (crack) lips or messy eating.
Disgust evolved to protect us from harm, 25 spoiled food or moral wrongdoing. However, when it
rushed into our romantic lives, it raises questions: Is it a signal to stop, or 26 we can work through? Studies
show that heightened disgust sensitivity is linked to emotional challenges, such as low desire or aversion. In
relationships, mismatched thresholds for disgust can cause conflicts — one partner’s limits might feel restrictive to
the other.
Overcoming the “ick” involves 27 (reduce) disgust sensitivity. Disgust can be reduced in much the
same way as we work to reduce a person’s fear: Gradual exposure to increasingly greater levels of the stimulus. In
other words, start small and increase your exposure to the thing that makes you disgusted and your response will
become 28 (dramatic).
If the “ick” is tied to a person rather than an act, reflection is key. Strong initial feelings of connection may
be worth working 29 the discomfort. Relationships often allow us to overlook flaws, 30 if the
trigger is a true dealbreaker — something morally unacceptable — it’s time to trust your instincts and move on.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once.
Note that there is one word more than you need.
A．advances B．combed C． net D．heads E. automation F. modest
G. comprehensive H. thinned I. prior J. underlie K. unearth
Does technology replace more jobs than it creates? What is the 31 balance between these two
things? Until now, that has not been measured. But a new research project led by MIT economist David Autor has
developed an answer, at least for U.S. history since 1940. The study uses new methods to examine how many jobs
have been lost to machine 32 , and how many have been generated through “augmentation (增强),” in
which technology creates new tasks. Overall, the study finds, and particularly since 1980, technology has replaced
more U.S. jobs than it has generated.
“There does appear to be a faster rate of automation, and a slower rate of augmentation, in the last four
decades. from 1980 to the present, than in the four decades 33 .” says Autor. However, that finding is
only one of the study’s 34 . The researchers have also developed an entirely new method for studying the
issue, based on an analysis of thousands of U.S. census job categories in relation to a(n) 35 look at the
text of U. S. patents over the last century. That has allowed them, for the first time, to quantify the effects of
technology over both job loss and job creation.
The study finds that overall, about 60 percent of jobs in the U.S. represent new types of work, which have
been created since 1940. To determine this, Autor and his colleagues 36 through about 35,000 job
categories, tracking how they emerge over time. They also used natural language processing tools to analyze the
text of every U.S. patent filed since 1920. The research examined how words were “embedded” in the census and
patent documents to 37 related passages of text. That allowed them to determine links between new
technologies and their effects on employment.
From about 1940 through 1980, for instance, jobs like elevator operator and typesetter tended to get
automated. But at the same time, more workers filled roles such as shipping and receiving clerks, buyers and
department 38 , and civil and space engineers. From 1980 through 2018, the ranks of cabinetmakers and
machinists, among others, have been 39 by automation, while industrial engineers, and operations and
systems researchers and analysts, have enjoyed growth.
Ultimately, the research suggests that the negative effects of automation on employment were more than
twice as great in the 1980-2018 period as in the 1940-1980 period. There was a more 40 , and positive,
change in the effect of augmentation on employment in 1980-2018, as compared to 1940-1980.
III.Reading Comprehension (共45 分。 41-55 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.
More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are
doing so for 41 periods.
The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance
has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market
cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure ( 基础设施) as
residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font, an expert in
tourism. “For 43 , the city no longer belongs to them.”
In response to this situation, cities have come up with various solutions. For instance, Amsterdam has started
advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city center on its official website. “That takes courage, really,
to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re
doing all they can to 45 congestion.”
But it also proposes a better way, which is called “de-tourism”: sustainable travel tips and 46
schedules for exploring a real Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.
A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for
example, or outside of the city center — can have the effect of removing them from already crowded landmarks, or
48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. ‘If you go to Paris
for two days, you’re going to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower
14 times.” Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we can get
tourists to 51 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is
much easier to integrate their behaviors with ours.”
Font says cities could stand to be more 52 about the tourists they try to attract when the current
metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking. ‘yeah but at what
cost…’” He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for
spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists — a(n) 53 that fails to take into account
their bigger carbon footprint. 54 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak
times, buy local products, and spread out to less crowded parts of the city — all productive steps towards more
55 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.

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
Precognitive dreams are dreams that seemingly predict the future which cannot be inferred from actually
available information. Former US President Abraham Lincoln once revealed the frightening dream to his law
partner and friend Ward Hill Lamon, “…Then I heard people weep… ‘Who is dead in the White House?’ I
demanded. ‘The President,’ ‘he was killed!’…” The killing did happen later.
Christopher French, Professor in the Department of Psychology at Goldsmiths, stated the most likely
explanation for such a phenomenon was coincidence (巧合). “In addition to pure coincidences we must also
consider the unreliability of memory”, he added. Asked what criteria would have to be met for him to accept that
precognitive dreams were a reality, he said, “The primary problem with tests of the claim is that the subjects are
unable to tell when the event(s)they’ve dreamed about will happen.”
However, some claimed to make such tests practicable. Professor Caroline Watt at the University of
Edinburgh, has conducted studies into precognitive dreaming. She stated that knowing future through dreams
challenged the basic assumption of science — causality (relationship of cause and effect).
Dick Bierman, a retired physicist and psychologist, who has worked at the Universities of Amsterdam,
Utrecht and Groningen, has put forward a theory that may explain precognitive dreams. It is based on the fact that
when scientists use certain mathematical descriptions to talk about things like electromagnetism (电磁学), these
descriptions favour the belief that time only moves in one direction. However, in practice the wave that is running
backwards in time does exist. This concept is called the time symmetry, meaning that the laws of physics look the
same when time runs forward or backward. But he believes that time symmetry breaks down due to external
conditions. “The key of the theory is that it assumes that there is a special context that restores the broken time-
symmetry, if the waves running backwards are ‘absorbed’ by a consistent multi-particle (多粒子) system. The
brain under a dream state may be such a system where broken time-symmetry is partially restored. This is still not a
full explanation for precognitive dreams but it shows where physics might be adjusted to accommodate the
phenomenon,” he explains.
Although Bierman’s explanation is still based on guesses and has not accepted by mainstream science, Watt
does think it is worth considering. For now, believing that it’s possible to predict future with dreams remains an act
of faith. Yet, it’s possible that one day we’ll wake up to a true understanding of this fascinating phenomenon.
56．According to French, what makes it difficult to test precognitive dreams?
A．Unavailability of people’s dreams.
B．That coincidences happen a lot in reality.
C．That criteria for dream reliability are not trustworthy.
D．People’s inability to tell when dreamt events will happen.
57．Believers in precognitive dreams may question the truth of ________.
A．the assumption of causality
B．the time symmetry
C．memories of ordinary people
D．modern scientific tests
58．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．Lincoln was warned of the killing by his friend
B．Watt carried out several experiments on causality
C．researches on electromagnetism are based on the time symmetry
D．time’s moving in two directions may justify precognitive dreams
59．Which might be the best title of the passage?
A．Should Dreams Be Assessed?
B．Can Dreams Predict the Future?
C．How Can Physics Be Changed to Explain Dreams?
D．Why Should Scientists Study Precognitive Dreams?

Geology
BEFORE
6th century BCE The Greek thinker
Thales of Miletus notes magnetic rocks, or
lodestones (天然磁石).
1st century CE Chinese diviners make
primitive compasses with iron spoon that
can turn around to point south.
1269 French scholar Pierre de Maricourt
sets out the basic laws of magnetic
attraction, repulsion, and poles.
AFTER
1824 French mathematician Siméon
Poisson models the forces in a magnetic
field.
1940s American physicist Walter Maurice
Elsasser attributes Earth’s magnetic field to
iron swirling in its outer core as the planet
rotates.
1958 Explorer 1 space mission shows
Earth’s magnetic field extending far out
into space.
By the late 1500s, ships’ captains already relied on
magnetic compasses to maintain their course across the oceans.
Yet no one knew how they worked. Some thought the compass
needle was attracted to the North Star, others that it was drawn to
magnetic mountains in the Arctic. It was English physician
William Gilbert who discovered that Earth itself is magnetic.
Stronger reasons are obtained from sure experiments and
demonstrated arguments than from probable conjectures (推测)
and the opinions of philosophical speculators.William Gilbert
Gilbert’s breakthrough came not from a flash of inspiration,
but from 17 years of careful experiment. He learned all he could
from ships’ captains and compass makers, and then he made a
model globe, or “terrella,” out of the magnetic rock lodestone and
tested compass needles against it. The needles reacted around the
terrella just as ships’ compasses did on a larger scale—showing
the same patterns of declination (pointing slightly away from true
north at the geographic pole, which differs from magnetic north)
and inclination (tilting down from the horizontal toward the
globe).
Gilbert concluded, rightly, that the entire planet is a magnet
and has a core of iron. He published his ideas in the book De
Magnete (On the Magnet) in 1600, causing a sensation. Johannes
Kepler and Galileo, in particular, were inspired by his suggestion
that Earth is not fixed to rotating celestial spheres, as most people
still thought, but is made to spin by the invisible force of its own
magnetism.
60．Before the 16th century, how did captains navigate across oceans?
A．The North Star navigated their ships.
B．The magnetic mountains in the Arctic guided their journey.
C．Magnetic compasses helped them maintain the course.
D．The forces in a magnetic field attracted the ships.
61．How did William Gilbert find out the fact that Earth itself is magnetic?
A．Through trials and errors. B．Through some personal philosophical speculation.
C．By acquiring some flash inspiration. D．By studying the ideas of some philosophers.
62．Which of the following statement might Galileo agree with?
A．The earth stays still.
B．Gilbert successfully refuted the laws of magnetic attraction.
C．Gilbert’s findings and conclusions are sensational.
D．The earth has its own magnetic field.

Animal products could produce electricity, one British power company warns — and to give consumers a
choice, it's offering what it calls the world’s first vegan electricity.
Ecotricity, a renewable energy provider in the U.K., announced its electricity and gas would be certified
vegan after it claimed half of British homes are powered by electricity made from animal byproducts. Company
founder Dale Vince accused companies that consider themselves “ethical” or “green” of keeping consumers in the
dark about their “secret ingredient.” “We need clear labeling of energy sourcing so that people can make informed
choices,” he said in a statement.
The company offers “vegan energy” in wind and solar power, and it’s developing “sea power” produced by
wave oscillation and marine currents. None of Ecotricity’s electrical sources contains animal byproducts that the
company knew of before it made the announcement, but it registered with the Vegan Society to certify its green
status.
Though not widely disclosed, it’s fairly common for power companies to derive electricity from animals
through anaerobic digestion (厌氧消化). Animal waste is generally considered a clean, renewable energy source.
Turning manure into fuel eliminates a sizeable chunk of carbon pollution and lessens power companies’ reliance on
“dirtier” fossil fuels like coal and oil. Plus, animals provide a limitless supply of waste, while Earth’s natural gas
stores are finite, so crackers wouldn’t need to drill into rock to extract it.
Cows are pictured at a Wagyu cattle breeding center in June in Petit-Mars, France. A U.K. energy company
announced the first “vegan electricity” after warning consumers about animal byproducts in energy production.
After anaerobic digestion, farmers can use the liquid remains of the manure as fertilizer and make chips for
animal bedding from the solid leftovers, chemical engineer David Simakov told Popular Science.
“We are talking about producing the amount of renewable natural gas enough to heat thousands of homes
from just a single large landfill site,” he said. “We need to stop pumping carbon from underground into the
atmosphere and start caring about introducing more and more renewable energy to make our lives more
sustainable.”
Renewable energy only accounts for 11 percent of energy consumption in the U.S., according to the Energy
Information Administration. Fossil fuels and nuclear energy generate more than 80 percent of the country’s
electricity, and that’s unlikely to change: like other clean energy sources, anaerobic digestion is still more expensive
than traditional sources of energy.
63．According to Dale Vince, ____________________.
A．it’s necessary for consumers to know how electricity is produced
B．people don’t need to make choices of whether to use vegan electricity
C．vegan electricity and gas shouldn’t use animal byproducts
D．it’s not certain whether Ecotricity has used animal byproducts
64．In Paragraph 2, “secret ingredient” refers to ___________________.
A．an energy provider B．vegan energy C．animal waste D．energy labelling
65．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．It’s forbidden to get exploited natural gas since it is limited.
B．Clean energy may not replace fossil fuels to be used by families.
C．Power companies can rely on animal waste to produce clean energy.
D．The waste of cows is first used to produce clean energy in the world.
66．What does the author think of clean energy?
A．It has been a mainstream. B．It has a promising future.
C．Consumers tend to use more clean energy now. D．Its producing cost has decreased its popularity.

sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Global Rise of TCM
Phan Thi Kim Chi’s connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began at an early age. Growing
up in a small village in Vietnam, it was inconvenient for Phan to travel to hospitals in neighboring cities. Whenever
she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM practitioner.
67 According to Phan, even though TCM has long been commonly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding
a good school to learn TCM in Vietnam is not easy.
As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in the
curriculum. 68 It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the concepts of yin and yang,
harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she
even translates the TCM vocabulary and scripts into Vietnamese so she can remember and comprehend them better.
69 According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8,
187 last year, with the largest population of 6, 441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and
432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors overseas to teach
TCM.
The booming situation of TCM is not limited to schools and clinics. It has also become a lifestyle choice for
many young people. There is a trend among young people to place more emphasis on health conditioning and
preservation. However, experts remind that TCM emphasizes the importance of diagnosing and treating based on
identifying syndromes (症状). It is impossible to offer a one-size- fits-all approach to all patients. 70
A．They highly recognized the effectiveness of TCM, especially its use in pain treatment.
B．Even when drinking herbal milk tea, it’s best to make choices accordingly.
C．Being extensive and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy.
D．Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not rare.
E．This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China.
F．Many other Chinese medicine institutions have adopted similar strategic initiatives.
IV. Summary Writing(共10 分）
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more
than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
It Takes at Least 200 Hours to Make a Close Friendship, and More to Maintain It
Many of us worry that we don’t put in enough time to maintain close friendships. But how much is enough?
Unfortunately, there’s no magic formula (公式) for how much time you need to spend on your friends to keep
them. Each friendship and friend are unique and develops or ends depending on how we interact.
Forming a friendship in the first place takes a certain number of hours of being together. We need between
40 and 60 hours together for a person we know slightly to become a casual friend. In order to move from casual
friends to close friends, we need to spend an additional 140 to 160 hours together for a total of about 200 hours.
However, deeper interactions can quicken that timeline. We can form a close bond in less than 200 hours
with meaningful conversations. Contrarily, spending 200 hours together doesn’t necessarily mean a person will
become a close friend. They have to want to be your friends. Some co-workers can spend 300 hours together and
never become close friends.
When it comes to maintaining friendships, it’s not just the number of hours spent together, but what we do
that matters. Engaging in passive activity with friends — like watching a TV series — is fun and enjoyable, but it
doesn’t do as much to maintain friendship as having deep conversations, sharing feelings, and being a good listener.
And routinely checking in with people we choose to connect with, through calls and texts or in person, helps
maintain relationships and leads to higher scores of positive feelings, like happiness.
The key point is that sharing things about ourselves can lead to close friendships. Once that closeness is
established, some ways to maintain closeness are supporting friends when things go wrong for them and
celebrating their achievements.
