22、isidentifiedFrom the early 1950s until 2009, a department in the United Kingdoms Ministry of Defence (MoD) documented and investigated reports of UFOs. Now, more than a decade after the program ended, many of those _31_ classified files about UFO will be made available to the public for the first ti
23、me.Previously, some MoD files about UFOs had been published online at the U.K. National Archives (国家档案馆) website. The Telegraph reported. However, all of the agencys UFO reports will be _32_ this year on “a dedicated gov.uk web page.” spokesperson for the British Royal Air Force (RAF) told The Teleg
24、raph.The decision came after PA Media, a British news agency, filed a request for the UFO files under a/an _33_ on information, according to The Telegraph. MoD officials decided “it would be better to publish these records, rather than continue _34_ documents to the National Archives.”the RAF spokes
25、person said. The U.K.s _35_ with UFOs began around 1950. urging the MoD to form the Flying Saucer Working Party to _36_ the phenomenon. according to the UK. National Archives. UFOs in the early 1950s even captured the attention of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who sent a memo to his air minister
26、 in 1952 _37_ .“What does all this stuff about flying saucers amount to? What can it mean? What is the truth?” The flying saucer group concluded that UFOs were delusions (错觉) or 38 objects. recommending “that no further investigation of reported mysterious phenomenon in the air be _39_.”Nevertheless
27、, other MoD divisions continued the work of official UFO investigation in the U.KAfter MoD enacted a policy change on Dec.1st, 2009, the agency no longer recorded or investigated any UFO _40_, according to the report. But what they did find-including many recent UFO reports that were previously avai

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with th
29、e word or phrase that best fits the context. An artificial intelligence can accurately translate thoughts into sentences, at least for a limited vocabulary of 250 words. The system may bring us a step closer to _41_ speech to people who have lost the ability.Joseph Makin at the University of Califor
30、nia, San Francisco, and his colleagues used deep learning algorithms(算法) to study the brain _42_ of four women as they spoke. The women, who all suffer from a certain kind of brain disorder, already had electrodes attached to their brains to monitor disease attacks.Each woman was asked to read aloud
31、 from a set of sentences as the team _43_ brain activity. The largest group of sentences _44_ 250 unique words. The team fed this brain activity to a network algorithm related to nerves, training it to _45_ regularly occurring patterns that could be linked to repeated aspects of speech. These patter
32、ns were then fed to a second network, which tried to turn them into words to _46_ a sentence.Each woman repeated the sentences at least twice, and the final repetition didnt form part of the training data, _47_ the researchers to test the system.Each time a person speaks the same sentence, the brain
33、 activity associated will be similar but not exactly the sane. “Memorizing the brain activity of these sentences wouldnt help, _48_ the network instead has to learn whats similar about them so that it can generalize to this final example,” says Makin. Across the four women, the AIs best performance
34、was an average translation error rate of 3 per cent.Makin says that using a small number of sentences made it _49_ for the AI to learn which words tend to follow others. For example, the AI was able to _50_ that the word “Bear” was always likely to follow the word “Teddy” in a certain set of sentenc
35、es, from brain activity alone.The team tried transforming the brain signal data into _51_ words at a time, rather than whole sentences, but this _52_ the error rate to 38 per cent even for the best performance. “So the network clearly is learning facts about which words go together, and not just whi
36、ch brain activity _53_ with which words,”says Makin.This will make it hard to scale up the system to a/an _54_ vocabulary because each new word increases the number of possible sentences, reducing _55_. Sophie Scott at University College London says we are a long way from being able to translate bra

Nollywood is the name of the Nigerian (尼日利亚的) film industry: Nigeria is one of the largest film industries in the world based on the quantity
41、 of films produced. placing them right below Indias Bollywood and above USAs Hollwood!Born in around 1992. Nollywood is the youngest compared with the other two “woods”, and uses new forms of financing and production, Now its in adulthood. and bigger productions have become more regular. However. th
42、is was not always the case. Although movie theaters were rare in Nigeria during earlier period. original stories were not. Despite lack of funds and experience. self-made directors began to use commercial video cameras to shoot their movies and sold them for home viewing. Even though this resulted i
43、n movies with low production value, the original stories instantly made them a hit. Today, the film industry is the largest employer after agriculture and makes up 5% of Nigerias GDP.Nigeria is a big player in the industry and it is constantly improving its craft, taking on new challenges. Nollywood
44、 is known mainly for its comedies and dramas. but we are increasingly seeing horror movies and musicals.Although sometimes heavily criticized for low production values. Nollywood continues to grow fans worldwide. Nigerian movies now make up 11% of Nigerias non-oil exports! The average movie is produ
45、ced in 7-10 days on a budget between 7,000-12,000 (Hollywoods average is around 60 million per movie with one year production time).This is changing. however, as more filmmakers are receiving proper training and are aiming to make films up to the international standard.56.

Society tells men to hide their feelings and expec
50、ts them to be aggressive, so many men lose their friendship when growing up. The good news is that those skills can be recovered!There are a lot of experts who can help. and heres what they recommend:1.Accept your own desire and normalize it for the people in your life. Way, an expert, recommends sh
51、aring articles about masculinity and friendship so that you can start these conversations! Concentrate on them and dont forget you have the entire Internet at your fingertips, friend! 2. Model vulnerability. Say the thing that frightens or worries you. like “Im afraid nobody will go to my party,”or“
52、I miss my grandma every day.”Doing so will make it easier for other people to follow your lead. We are all on the elevator to a society where emotional availability is normalized, and I want you to press “door open”.3. Ask more questions. People sometimes feel they might be prying (爱打听的) if they ask
53、 someone about themselves-especially when their friend is sharing something tough. But if you get curious in moments of vulnerability you will open the door to all kinds of growth in your relationship. Take the opportunity to really see your friend and show them they matter by following up.4. Get cl
54、ose with the children in your life. Ways research says that the top priority that helps children (especially boys) grow up to have enriching friendships is to be close with an adult relative who was not afraid to express emotions.

How to Be Brave to Have Friends.(C)No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing the order of the words and by
58、 adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) ,we are able to communicate variations in meaning. We can turn a statement into a question,state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place,and perform other word tricks to convey delicate differences in meaning. Besides. grammar is universal
59、and plays a part in every language. no matter how widespread it is. So the question which has confused many linguists is: who created grammar?At first, this question would appear impossible to answer. To find out how grammar is created. someone needs to be present at the time of a languages creation
60、, documenting its emergence. Some linguists are able to trace modern complex languages back to earlier languages, but to know the forming of complex languages, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch. Amazingly, however, this is possible. Some recent languages evolved
61、due to the Atlantic slave trade. At that time. slaves from different nations were forced to work together. Since they could not learn each others languages. they developed a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. Little grammar is found in them. and in many
62、cases it is difficult or a listener to infer when an event happened, and who did what to whom. Speakers need to use circumlocution (迁回曲折的说法) in order to make themselves understood. Interestingly. however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed
63、 to it. Slave children did not simply copy words from their elders, they adapted them to create a language. It included new word orders and grammatical markers. Complex grammar systems merging from pidgins are termed creoles, which are invented by children.Some linguists believe that many of the wor
64、lds most established languages were creoles at first. The -ed ending in English past tense may have evolved from “did”,“It ended”,which was first used by kids, may once have been “It end-did”. Therefore. it would appear that even the most widespread languages were partly created by children. Childre
65、n appear to have been born with grammatical machinery in their brains. which can serve to create logical, complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.63. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A. Language learners know that grammar is of complexity.B. One cal do a lot wi
66、th his good command of grammar.C. Grammar is both complex and universal in languages.D Linguists face a question in creating confusing grammars64. The underlined expression “from scratch” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _A. from the very beginningB. in ancient culturesC. by copying something
67、 elseD. by using written information65. What can be inferred about the slaves pidgin language?A. It contained a complex grammar system.B. It was first created by the slaves landowners.C. It was based on a lot of different languages.D. It was difficult to understand, even among slaves.66. What can be
68、 concluded from the last paragraph?A. The English past tense system is inaccurate.8. English was probably once a kind of creole.C. Linguists have proven that English was created by children.D. Children use English past tenses differently from adults.Section CDirections: Complete the following passag
69、e by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A. This could add desired nutrients to the soil thanks to the rich variety of crops.B. Over centuries, the growth of agriculture contributed to the rise of civilizations.C.
70、 In experiments with pea plants, he learned how traits were passed from one generation to another.D In the 1830s Cyrus McCormicks harvesting machine helped modernize the grain-cutting process.E. This helped to produce extra food to trade for other goods and allowed people to work at other tasks.F. N
71、ew agricultural inventions dramatically increased food production in Europe and European colonies. A period of important agricultural development began in the early 1700s in Great Britain and the Low Countries(Belgium, Luxembourg. and the Netherlands, which lie below sea level). (67)_ One of the mos
72、t important of these developments was an improved horse-drawn seed drill invented by Jethro Tull in England. Until that time. farmers sowed seeds by hand. Tulls drill made rows of holes for the seeds. By the end of the 18th century, seed drilling was widely practiced in Europe. Many other machines w
73、ere developed in the United States. (68)_ At about the same time. John and Hiram Pitts introduced a horse-powered thresher (脱粒机) that shortened the process of separating grain and seed from straw. John Deeres steel plow (犁), introduced in 1837,made it possible to work the tough soil with much less h
74、orsepower. Along with new machines. there were several important advances in selective farming. By selectively breeding animals (breeding those with desirable traits), farmers increased the size and productivity of their livestock. Plants could also be selectively bred for certain qualities. In 1866
75、, Gregor Mendels studies in heredity (遗传) were published in Austria. (69)_ His work paved the way for improving crops through genetics. New crop planting methods also evolved during this time. Many of these were adopted over the next century or so throughout Europe. For example. the Norfolk four-fie
76、ld system, developed in England. proved quite successful. Itinvolved the yearly rotation (轮作) of several crops, including wheat, turnips, barley, clover, and ryegrass. (70)_ Moreover, this method enabled farmers to grow enough to sell some of their harvest without having to leave any land unplanted.
77、 Not all parts of the world benefited from these developments instantly. however. Farmers in other parts such as Australia and Africa continued to use old ways of agriculture for a long time.IV.

After all, every one of us,whether charming or not, is a drop in the ocean and you dont owe prettiness to anyone.Admittedly, Im not saying that you shouldnt be pretty if you want to.Being pretty is pleasant,fun,refreshing and satisfying.making people f
80、eel delighted and smile at you unconsciously.But in terms of importance,prettiness stands several steps down from happiness,is way below health,and if done as an obligation,can be far away fromindependence.But what does you-dont-have-to-be-pretty mean in everyday terms?It means you dont have to blam
