Grammar and Vocabulary (共20分，每题1分)Section A Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behi
12、nd you. But do you know that showering _21_ also benefit your mind? A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. _22_ turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they experienced new ideas in the showe
13、r and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work. So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it. Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone _23_(relate) to our creativity. “People _24_(vary) in terms of their level of creativity according t
14、o the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring Aha! moment to us.” _25_ the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been
15、stuck with. Especially when you _26_(think) hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, “a shower
16、ing hour may turn into an incubation (孵化) period for your ideas.” Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do _27_(frequently) in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected
17、experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new perspective.” Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it neednt just be in the bathroom that y
18、ou get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, _28_ female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows _29_ she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, _30_ its a walk near the ocean, a country

The astonishing variety of facial features helps people recognize each other and is_31_to the format
20、ion of complex societies. So is the faces ability to send emotional signals, whether through an involuntary yawn ora(n)_32_smile. People spend much of their waking lives reading faces.Technology is rapidly catching up. In America facial recognition is usedby churches to track worshippers attendance.
21、 In 2017, Welsh police used it to arrest a suspect outside a football game.Although faces are_33_ to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight,_34_on something that is private. And yet the ability to record, store and analyze images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a
22、vast_35_promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to notions of privacy, fairness and trust.Start with privacy. One big difference between faces and other biological data, such as fingerprints, is that they work ata(n)_36_. Anyone with a phone can take a picture for facial-recognition prog
23、rams to use. Photographs of half of Americas adult population are stored in databases that can be used by the FBI to track criminals, but at enormous potential_37_ to citizens privacy.The face is not just a name-tag. It displays a lot of other information and machines can read that, too. Again, that
24、 promises benefits. Some firms are analyzing faces to provide automated_38_of rare genetic disorders far earlier than would otherwise be possible. But the technology also threatens. Researchers at Stanford University_39_that, when shown pictures of one gay man, and one straight man, the system could

In countries where homosexuality is a crime, software which promises to infer sexuality from a face isa(n)_40_prospect.III. Reading ComprehensionSection APlacebos(安慰剂) Prove PowerfulMany doctors know the story of “Mr. Wrig
26、ht”. In 1957 he was diagnosed with cancer, and given only days to live. He had tumors (肿瘤) the size of oranges. He heard that scientists had discovered a new medication, Krebiozen, that was 41 against cancer, and he begged the doctor to give it to him. His physician, Dr. Phillip West, finally agreed
27、. After Mr. Wright had been given an injection on a Friday afternoon, the 42 doctor found his patient out of his “death bed”, joking with the nurses the following Monday. “The tumors”, the doctor wrote later, had 43 like snow balls on a hot stove.”Two months later, Wright read medical reports that t
28、he medication was fake. His condition immediately got worse again. “Dont 44 what you read in papers,” the doctor told Wright. Then he injected him with what he said was a new super-refined double strength version of the drug. 45 , there was no drug, just a mix of salt and water, but again it worked.
29、 Wright was the picture of health for another two months until he read an official report saying that Krebiozen was 46 . He died two days later.This story has been 47 by doctors for a long time, dismissed as one of those strange tales that medicine cannot explain. The idea that a patients 48 can mak
30、e a fatal disease go away has been thought of as too strange. But now scientists are discovering that the placebo effect is more powerful than anyone had ever thought. They are also beginning to discover how such miraculous results are 49 .Through new techniques of brain imagery, it can be shown tha
31、t a thought, a belief or a desire can cause chemical processes in the brain which can have powerful effects on the 50 .Scientists are learning that some body reactions are not caused by information coming into the brain from the outside world, but by what the brain 51 to happen next. Placebos are li
32、es that 52 ,” said Dr. Anne Harrington, a historian of science at Harvard University. “The word placebo is Latin for “I shall please” (or I shall make you happy) and it is typically a treatment that a doctor gives to 53 patients to please them, she said. “It looks like medication, but has no healing
33、 ingredients whatsoever.” Nowadays, doctors have much more powerful medicines to fight disease. But these treatments have not diminished(减弱) the power of the placebo, quite the 54 . Maybe when scientists fully understand how placebos work, the powerful healing effects of the human 55 will be used mo

Blackstone Library, not far from Lake Michigan.You could easily miss the building if you didnt know what you were looking f
37、or.But once you were inside, you could never mistake it for anything else.We passed through two sets of heavy brass doors to the lobby (大堂) of the library. And if we turned right then, we could see an alcove (壁龛) with tables; this led, in turn, to a big reading room with a gigantic and ancient globe
38、 that sat in front of the largest windows.I liked to look at Africa, with the coded colours of the different countries like the Belgian Congo and Rhodesia, and try to remember which countries were fighting to be free just as we were struggling for civil rights.I had heard Daddy talking about the str
39、uggle, arguing with the television as someone discussed it on a news show.One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title:Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott.I could tell from looking at the shelf that shed written a lot of books, but I didnt know anything about her.I had l
40、earned from experience that titles werent everything.A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home, and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to read until we went back in two weeks.So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs:Christmas wo
41、nt be Christmas without any presents, grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.Its so dreadful to be poor! sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.I dont think its fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all, added little Amy, with an injured sniff.Weve got Father and
42、Mother and each other, said Beth contentedly from her corner.It was a good thing Id already decided on some other books to take home, because I didnt look through the rest of the section that day.I read and read and readLittle Womenuntil it was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential inte
43、rruptions like sleeping and eating, I would not put it down until the end.Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcotts story.It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo.It seemed to me a shame that she wasnt Black;
44、then our similarity would be complete.She loved to read, she loved to make up plays, she hated acting ladylike, and she had a dreadful temper.I had found a kindred (亲属关系) spirit.56. What can be learned about the authors father according to Paragraph One?A. He was uncomfortable discussing politics wi
45、th his children.B. He had strong feelings about the Civil Rights movement.C. He did not approve of most news covered on TV.D. He generally had a pessimistic world view.57. It can be inferred from Paragraph Two that the author is most likely to agree _.A. books seem duller when read in libraries than
46、 when read at homeB. interesting books are often very dull in their first few paragraphsC. novels are usually more interesting than nonfiction worksD. book titles can sometimes be misleading58. The author quotes some lines from Little Woman in an attempt to _.A. convey the impact of an unexpected di
47、scoveryB. describe a young readers sense of historyC. illustrate the characters in the bookD. explain a childs misunderstanding59. The author lists several things about Jo primarily to _.A. challenge an interpretation B. highlight some differences C. stress a comparison D. develop a disapproving opi
48、nion(B) “Getting even” is becoming increasingly popular as life gets more stressful. Here are some of the stories.Story A After a long-running conflict between neighbors, one of the families went on vacation for two weeks in the summer. The other neighbor took advantage of their absence to put two p
49、ints of maggots, the young form of flies, through the neighbors letter slot on the front door. The family returned to a house full of flies.Story D An 80-year-old woman was in court, charged with shoplifting. The judge asked her what she had stolen. “A can of peaches,” replied the woman. “How many p
50、eaches were in the can?” asked the judge. She replied that there were six. “Then III give you six days in jail,” said the judge. Before he had time to continue, the womans husband added. “She also stole a can of peas.”Story B Rude customers tend to drive staff in restaurants crazy. One chef confesse
51、d that after a customer had demanded that the sauce be removed from his burger, she licked the sauce off it and then sent it back to the customer.Story C A computer technician was angered when his temporary position was terminated so he deliberately brought down five of eight network servers. All th
52、e data in the servers was deleted and none was recoverable. As a result the company was forced to shut its New York office for two days and suffered losses of more than S100,000.Story E A doctor was called out at 2 a.m. to visit a patient who lived on the outskirts of town. When he arrived, he disco
53、vered that it was not, in fact, an emergency, and the patient could easily have waited until the next day to visit him in his office. Imagine the patients surprise when the doctor dropped by in the early hours of the following morning to check if he was OK!60. Where can you most probably read this?A
54、. In News Daily.B. In our English textbook.C. In a booklet distributed by a travel agency.D. In a magazine intended to provide entertainment.61. Which of the following pictures best illustrates Story A?A. B. C. D. 62. The best title of _ can be Commitment to the Profession.A. Story B.B. Story C.C. S
55、tory D.D. Story E.(C)For the first time in my life I have been dumped by a friend. I should have seen it coming: the phone calls not returned, the excuses about not feeling very sociable right now. Yet the letter suggesting that the time had come for us to move on still came as a shock.Tula and I ha
56、d been firm friends for nearly ten years. We met at a singing workshop and took on each other immediately. But life changed for both of us: I got married and she responded to her single status by developing a fresh set of social networks. Then she took a long holiday, reviewed her life and decided w
57、hat to keep and what to throw out. In her letter she described our friendship as a borderline case and suggested it should be time we let each other go.Im all for letting go of bad habits and boxes of old school exercise books. But surely close friends are not consumer goods to be discarded or repla
58、ced at the first hint of trouble? We are encouraged to believe that friends will be around forever. Youve got a friend, sang Carole King and Ill be there for you promised the theme tune of Friends. Such sentiments have sunk deep into the collective unconsciousness, or into mine, at least.Certainly,
59、the statistics indicate that we need friends more than ever. Government figures predict that the proportion of married men and women aged from 45 to 54 will fall by a quarter in the next two decades. A recent British survey found that two-thirds of eighteen to 35-year-olds in Britain turn to friends
60、 before family for help and advice. Yes, the argument goes, in a fast-moving, ever-changing world, friendship is our rock, the one thing we can truly rely on.But in his book, The Philosophy of Friendship, Mark Vernon suggests otherwise. He cautions that we place unrealistic burdens on friendship, th
61、at its unreasonable to expect friends to fulfill family members roles. Worse still, he says, friendships are becoming harder to maintain. There are lots of obstacles in the way we live today. Its harder to put time and effort into knowing someone. Mobiles, email and so on, all these are secondary wa
62、ys of communicating. Theres not the depth.So, what did I do with Tulas letter? I re-read it many times, thinking over where Id gone wrong. And then I wrote back. Yes, youre right. I wrote, things have changed. But arent we good enough friends to hang in there? Since then we have exchanged a couple o
63、f emails. A walk has been suggested. It would be easy not to make the effort and let this friendship go but, as Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women, said: Stay is a charming word in a friends vocabulary. 1think shes right.63. What can we learn about Tula and the writer from the first two parag
64、raphs?A. They became close friends ten years after their first meeting.B. Nothing had happened to indicate their friendship might end.C. Tula suggested the end of their friendship with a letter.D. The writer took a long holiday after her marriage.64. Such sentiments in paragraph 3 most probably refe
65、r to _.A. trouble in making friends B. dependence on close friendsC. reluctance to end a friendship D. belief in permanent friendship65. Which of the following statements is Mark Vernon most likely to agree with?A. We expect too much of friendship.B. More and more people are choosing to be single.C.
66、 Friendship is what we can rely on in todays society.D. Technology makes it easier for us to know others well.66. Why does the writer quote Louisa May Alcott in the last paragraph?A. To prove that efforts to maintain a friendship may not be worthwhile.B. To justify what she has done with the friends
67、hip with Tula.C. To emphasize the importance of Little Women in history.D. To illustrate the charming things existing in friendship.Section CA. But minor missteps when reaching your goals are completely normal and OK.B. Having someone to share your struggles and successes makes your journey much eas
68、ier and less stressful. C.When you are doing well at keeping your resolution, you may discover that you are feeling better about other areas of your life too.D.Instead of making too many resolutions, simply make one resolution at a time.E.You can even make a contract with yourself stating what you w
69、ill set out to do and sign it to make it official.F.Dont complain about small things in life, because that only spoils your mood.The New Year is slowly nearing, and many people are looking back to 2020 and more importantly, forward to the coming year 2021. People may use the New Year as a time to tu
70、rn over a new leaf. Are you planning to make a New Year Resolution? Here are a few tips for preparing to be successful with all your New Year Resolutions.1. A Single Change Is EnoughYou cant stick to two to three resolutions at a time. You would eventually break one of them for sure. _67_. Dont get
71、overwhelmed and think that you have to reassess everything in your life. But, dont break that one resolution you make, because that is important.2. Write Down Your ResolutionsOnce you have decided on your achievable resolutions, write them down. It helps to write down your resolution so you can refe
72、r back to it often during the year. _68_. Also, by writing it down, you will be able to review it often and evaluate your progress since the time the resolution was made. 4. Ask For Support Tell a friend or your loved ones whom you trust about your resolution. They will provide you with support and
73、keep you focused on your goal. And if you are wavering at all, their support will ensure you dont give up easily. Besides, it is advisable to join an online support group for specific resolutions such as losing weight, giving up chocolate, or training for the next marathon. _69_. In turn, be sure to
74、 help boost other peoples resolutions!5. Accept FailureIt is true that perfection is what people pursue. _70_. Dont give up completely because you ate a brownie and broke your diet or skipped the gym, for a week because you were busy. You must accept anything that comes your way. It is not easy to s
75、tick to something that requires lot of patience and will. Everyone has ups and downs; resolve to recover from your mistakes and get back on the right track.IV. Summary Writing The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable
76、 shortening of the proportion of a womans life spent in caring for the children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the
77、 time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child wi
78、ll be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.This important change in womans life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effe
79、ct on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after t
80、hat age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-or-part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of
81、 the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.V.
