16、e Satisfaction of Life For educated men, what are the sources of the solid and durable satisfactions of life? I hope you are all aiming at the solid, durable satisfactions of life, not primarily the gratifications of this moment or of tomorrow, but the satisfactions that are going to last and grow.2
17、1)_ _ _ as I have seen, there is one indispensable foundation for the satisfactions of life-health. A young man(22)_ be clean, wholesome, vigorous animal.That is the foundation for everything else, and I hope you will all be that, if you are nothing more. We have to build everything in this world of
18、 domestic joy and professional success, everything of a useful, honorable career, (23)_ bodily wholesomeness and vitality. To be a clean, wholesome, vigorous animal (24)_ (involve)a good deal. One must stay energetic and avoid drunkenness, gluttony(暴食)and getting into dirt of any kind. Nevertheless,
19、 (25)_ of you would be content with this achievement as the total outcome of your lives. It is indeed a happy thing to enjoy all through life sports and bodily exercise, but, if (26)_ (make)the main object of life, they tire and cease to be a source of durable satisfaction. What is the next thing, t
20、hen, (27)_we want in order to make sure of durable satisfactions in life? We need a strong mental grip, a wholesome capacity for hard work. It is intellectual power and aims that we need. In all the professions-learned, scientific, or industrial-large mental enjoyments should come to educated men. (
21、28)_ distinguishes the privileged class that has opportunity for prolonged education from the larger class that has not that opportunity is that the educated class lives mainly by the exercise of intellectual powers and gets therefore much (29)_ (great) enjoyment out of life than those who earn a li
22、velihood chiefly by the exercise of bodily powers. You ought to obtain here, therefore, the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid intense and sustained. That is the great thing for you (30) _ (get) in college. Get it now. Get it in the years of college life. It is the main achievement of college
23、to win this mental force, this capacity for keen observation and sustained thought, for everything that we mean by the reasoning power of man. That capacity will be the main source of intellectual joys and of happiness and content throughout a long and busy life. Section B Directions: Complete the f
24、ollowing passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. possibility B. gloomy C. superficially D. challenge E.opposite F.unbalanceG. intelligently H. escape I. maximize J. false K.energetic If you think about it, work-life b
25、alance is a strange aspiration for fulfilling life. Balance is about stasis(静止): if our lives were ever in balance-parents happy, kids taken care of, work working then our thought would be to shout Nobody move! and pray all would stay perfect forever. This (31) _ hope is made worse by the implicatio
26、n that work is bad, and life is good; we lose ourselves in work but find ourselves in life; we survive work, but live life. And so the challenge, we are told, is to balance the heaviness of work with the lightness of life.Yet work is not the (32)_of life. It is instead a part of life just as family
27、is, as are friends and hobbies. All of these aspects of living have their share of wonderful, uplifting moments and their share of (33)_ moments that drag us down. The same is true of work, yet when we think of it as something bad in need of a counterweight, we lose sight of the (34)_ for better. It
28、 seems more useful, then, to not try to balance the unbalanceable, but to treat work the same way you do life: (35)_ what you love. Think of your lifes many different activities as threads. Some are black, some are grey and some are white. But some of these activities contain all the signs of love :
29、 before you do them, you find yourselves looking forward to them; while youre doing them, time speeds up and you find yourself involved ; and after youve done them, you feel (36)_.These are your red threads, and our research reveals that 73% of us claim that we have the freedom to modify our job to
30、fit our strengths better, but that only 18% of us do so. Your (37)_, then, is to use your red threads to (38)_ change, over time, the content of your job, so that it contains more things that you love doing and fewer that youre aching(渴望) to (39)_. The most helpful categories for us are not “work” a
31、nd life. We should not struggle to balance the two. Instead, the best categories are “love” and loathe(憎恨)”. Our goal should be to, little by little, week by week, intentionally (40)_ all aspects of our work toward the former and away from the latter. Not simply to make us feel better, but so that o
32、ur colleagues, our friends and our family can all benefit from us at our very best. We cant always do only what we love. But we can always find the love in what we do. JEBAI CD GHISIII. Reading Comprehension (45)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases mark
33、ed A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Do you remember how you felt the first time you rode bike? What about your first heartbreak? 41_ moments and the emotions they arouse can resonate in our minds for decades, powerfully shaping who we are as indiv
34、iduals. But for those who experience severe trauma(创伤), such painful memories can leave people with life-changing mental conditions. So, what if traumatic memories did not have to cause so much 42_ ? For now, the work is happening in mice. Neuroscientists usually define a singular memory as an engra
35、m-a physical change in braintissue 43_ a particular recollection. While at MIT in 2013, Steve Ramirez of Boston University and his research partner Xu Liu had a breakthrough: They were able to target the cells that 44_ one engram in a mouses brain and then implant a false memory. In their work, mice
36、 45_ in fear to a particular stimulus even when they had not been conditioned in advance. In their current work, Ramirez and his colleagues are investigating whether 46_ memories can be “overwritten” by positive ones. In their experiments, positive memories are created by putting male mice in cages
37、with female ones for an hour, and negative memories are created by putting the mice in cages that deliver brief foot shocks. After a surgical operation on the mice, the researchers find that 47_ positive memories while mouse is in a cage makes it less fearful. They think that this memory “retraining
38、may be helping to 48_ some of the mouses trauma. 49_ , it is unclear whether those original fear memories are completely lost or just suppressed(抑制).50_ Ramirezs team stresses that their work in mice is preliminary(初步的), they see treatment potential for humans down the road. Those suffering from PTS
39、D or depression could have their memories 51_ , for instance, so that they dont have a strong 52_ response to painful recollections.If its one day possible to alter human memory, who should be allowed to receive that treatment? And would the 53_ system be at a disadvantage if key witnesses and victi
40、ms cannot remember a crime? These are questions New York University bioethicist Arthur Caplan says are worth thinking about before the technology is ready for human clinical settings. As neuroscientists progress with their research, they say these 54_ issues are being taken into account. Ramirez see
41、s the idea of 55_ memories as neither good nor bad. Like water, it just depends on how you use it. 41. A. Forgettable B.Memorable C. Sustainable D.Believable 42. A.fruit B. difference C. pain D.movement 43. A. associated with B. exchanged for C. sentenced to D. deprived of 44. A. put off B.pick up C

44、irections: 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) Imagine having ma
45、ster key for your life, a key that gives access to your home, your diary,your computer, your phone, your car, your safe deposit Would you go around making copies of that key and giving them to strangers? Probably not the wisest idea-it would be only a matter of time before someone abused it, right ?
46、 So why are you willing to give up your personal data to pretty much anyone who asks for it?Privacy is the key that unlocks the aspects of yourself that are most intimate and personal, that make you most you, and most vulnerable. When you give that key, your privacy, to someone who loves you, it wil
47、l allow you to enjoy closeness and they will use it to benefit you. However, not everyone will use access to your personal life in your interest. Fraudsters might use your date of birth to impersonate you while they commit a crime; hackers are eager to get hold of sensitive information or images so
48、they can blackmail you. Companies want to know how best to distract you and want you to spend your money on them. They also get to other people through you by asking you for access to your contacts. Moreover, all sorts of agents would like to use your voice as their mouthpiece on social media and be
49、yond. By now, most people are aware that their data is worth money. But your data is not valuable only because it can be sold. Facebook doesnt technically sell your data, for instance. They sell the power to influence you and the power to predict your behavior. Google and Facebook are not really in
50、the business of data- they are in the business of power. Even more than monetary gain, personal data bestows power on those who collect and analyze it, and that is what makes it so coveted. The more that someone knows about us, the more they can anticipate our every move. Power over others privacy i
51、s the quintessential kind of power in the digital age. An example of power shaping preferences today includes when tech uses research about how dopamine（多巴胺） works to make you addicted to an app. Refraining from using tech altogether is unrealistic for most people, but there is much more you can do
52、short of that. Respect other peoples privacy. Dont expose ordinary citizens online. Dont film or photograph people without their consent, and certainly dont share such images online. When downloading apps and buying products, choose ones that are better for privacy. Tum your phones Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
53、and locations services off when you dont need them. Use the legal tools at your disposal to ask companies for the data they have on you and ask them to delete the data. Change your social media settings to protect your privacy. Dont make the mistake of thinking you are safe from privacy harms, maybe
54、 because you are young, optimistic and healthy. But you might not be as healthy as you think you are, and you will not be young forever. Privacy is important because it gives power to the people. Protect it. 56. It can be learned from the 2nd paragraph that_. A. privacy is like a persons master key,
55、 which should be protected from anyone else. B. people who dont care about your interest will exploit your data to their advantage. C. criminals will deceive your friends into committing crimes by accessing your contacts. D. customers under threat from advertising agents are forced to advertise prod
56、ucts. 57. According to the context, the underlined word “covetedis closest in meaning to_. A. desired B. addicted C. contained D.overwhelmed58. What is the real motive for digital companies obtaining peoples personal data? A. To make short-term profits by selling the obtained data to their competito
57、rs B. To control peoples dopamine and prevent them from getting addicted to apps C. To keep peoples data safe from fraudsters and hackers and ensure their life quality D. To gain the power of manipulating peoples behaviors by analyzing the data 59. Which of the following is NOT advisable concerning
58、peoples privacy safety? A. Closing locations services when they are not needed. B. Resorting to laws for personal data protection. C. Allowing strangers to browse your WeChat Moments. D. Not sharing friends images online without their approval.(B)Scenery along thesky road For centuries, Tibet has no
59、t been explored as much by the outside world due to its remote location, extreme climate and geographic environment. Dubbed the “sky road”, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has become the most popular and convenient way to connect Tibet to the rest of China. This 1,956-kilometer-long world-renowned railway
60、 begins in Xining and ends in Lhasa. The stunning scenery along the railway offers not only a feast for the eyes, but also a journey for the soul. Qinghai Lake: A paradise for birdwatchers and cyclists Dazzling like a crystal-clear gem, Qinghai Lake is the largest inland lake as well as saline lake
61、in China. Be it the blue sky and water, the green grassland or mesmerizing landscapes-Qinghai Lake boasts great charms that are worth exploring. Qinghai Lake is definitely a paradise for bird lovers as many different kinds of birds would fly here to breed in May and June due to the mild weather. Mea
62、nwhile, for cyclists, cycling aroundthe lake not only allows them to enjoy the beauty of the lake view, but also while away the time. Tips: The best time to visit the Qinghai Lake is from April to August as numerous Cole flowers blossom along the lake during that time, forming breathtaking scenery f
63、or visitors. In addition, May and June is the best season for bird lovers.Kunlun Mountains: More than just mountainsAs the train keeps moving up, a picturesque view of Kunlun Mountains appears before you.Reputed as the holy mountains, Kunlun Mountains extend west from the Pamirs with a length of 2,5
64、00 kilometers. The 6,178-meter Yuzhu Peak is the highest of the Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai. The high peaks of the mountains are covered with snow and mist all year round, creating must-see view along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Its worth mentioning that the Yuzhu Peak is the first sightseeing statio
65、n for passengers, which allows them to get off the train and take photos outside. For climbing beginners, this peak is considered to be the ideal destination as its route requires less technique. Hoh Xil Nature Reserve: Forbidden zone for humansHoh Xil, which means green mountainsin Mongolian, is a
66、plateau between the Kunlun andTanggula mountain ranges, with an average altitude of 5,000 meters. Home to many wild animals, including the Tibetan antelope and the wild yak(牦牛), the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve is undoubtedly a desolate region in the northwestern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China
67、.The extensive area of alpine mountains is situated more than 4,500 meters above sea level, where sub-zero average temperatures prevail all year round. The geographic and harsh climatic conditions have made this place become theforbidden zone for humans. This is probably one of the few places left o
68、n Earth where one could get off the beaten track and find inner peace. Tips: As there are no signs in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, visitors often get lost here. Remember to bring a local herdsman with you or rent car to travel. Lhasa: The start of the journey to TibetThe final destination of the Qing
69、hai-Tibet train trip-Lhasa, offers almost every aspect of Tibetan culture. If one must pick a name card for Lhasa, then Potala Palace is very likely to be the answer for that. No one can really say that he/she has visited Lhasa unless they have been to Potala Palace. To start a journey in Lhasa, the
70、 Potala Palace is must-see destination for travelers from home and abroad.60. If you are a person desiring for an inner state of tranquility （安宁），which of the destinations is a must-see one along the“sky road”?A. Qinghai Lake B. Kunlun Moutains C. Hoh Xil Nature Reserve D. Lhasa61. Qinghai Lake is a
71、n ideal place to appreciate the following scenery EXCEPT _.A. green grassland B. snow-capped mountains C. blossoming flowers D. breeding birds62. Which of the following descriptions is TRUE according to the passage? A. Railway passengers can take photos near the Yuzhu Peak, but are forbidden to go m
72、ountain-climbing.B. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway stretches more than 2,000 kilometers beginning in Xining and ending in Rikaze.C. Some road signs are available in Hoh Xil Nature Reserve for tourists to find their exact location.D. As a representative place for Lhasa, Potala Palace enjoys a world-wide r
73、eputation among travelers.(C) As every mobile-phone owner knows, after a year or so the battery starts to fade and the beast needs recharging more frequently. That is a nuisance, but a phones batteries can be replaced fairly cheaply or the whole handset traded in for the latest model. An electric ca
74、r, however, is a much bigger investment. Batteries are its priciest component, representing around 30% of an average of mid-size vehicle. Apart from increasing the risk of running out of juice and leaving a driver stranded, a deteriorating battery quickly destroys a cars second-hand value.To provide
75、 buyers with some peace of mind, car makers guarantee their batteries, typically for eight years or around 200,000 km. Producers are now, though, planning to go much further than that, with the launch of “million-mile” (1.6km-kilometre) batteries. Elon Musk has hinted that Tesla has a million-mile b
76、attery in the works. And over in Detroit, General Motors (GM) is in the final stages of developing an advanced battery which it says has similar longevity.“Its a great catchphrase; the million-mile battery, says George Crabtree, director of the Joint Centre for Energy Storage Research at Argonne Nat
77、ional Laboratory, near Chicago. But the fact that you can drive a million miles may not be the most relevant parameter to look at. Regular fast-charging reduces battery life, as do overcharging and deep discharging. Driving in extremely hot or cold weather doesnt help either. And battery life will d
78、iminish even if you just leave the car in the garage. The real point of a million-mile battery is that the technological advances required to make it possible will deal with these things as well. The lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries which power electric cars age in two ways: with time and with use. Ba
79、ttery-makers- call time-dependent ageing “calendar ageing”. It is consequence of the gradual degradation of some of the materials employed in battery construction, which reduces a batterys ability to hold a charge. Leaving a car with a fully rather than partly charged battery, for example, can incre
80、ase the rate of calendar ageing. Use-dependent ageing is a consequence of the number of discharge-recharge cycles a battery goes through. It is caused by the complex chemical reactions that take place when a battery is operating. Some of these are essential to a batterys job of storing and releasing
81、 energy. Battery technology is improving all the time. As a consequence, so are calendar and use-dependent lifetimes. Getting direct experience of how electric cars are used is helping researchers come up with ways to mitigate（缓和）some of the side reactions, says Tim Grewe, the head of GMs electrific
82、ation strategy. The company employs remote telematic monitoring to keep track of how batteries are performing in its cars, and also takes back some batteries from high-mileage drivers and those living in extreme environments, such as deserts and mountainous regions, for analysis. Dealing with impuri
83、ties that get into batteries helps to extend their lives. Water, for example, reacts with salts in the electrolyte to form an acid, which attacks the electrodes. To prevent this, GM has developed an addictive made from a type of material called a zeolite. Zeolites are molecular sponges. GM s version
84、 serves to mop up any moisture which enters a battery cell.Adding a little aluminium to a nickelcobalt-manganese cathode, a type that is widely used in Li-ion batteries, save on cobalt, the most expensive ingredient in a battery. But the aluminium delivers other benefits as well. It boosts the batte
85、rys energy density, meaning a car can travel farther on a single charge. It also make the battery last longer.As a marketing device, the million-mile battery will give electric-car buyers more confidence that their batteries are robust. And by no means are million-mile batteries the limit of enginee
86、rs aspirations. The next objective is to replace Li-ions liquid electrolytes with solid ones. That would keep the ions under stricter control and allow even longer driving ranges. This could make a two million-mile battery a feasible objective. If that day comes, the tables would have been turned. F
87、rom being the first part of a car to fail, its battery will have come the last.63. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean? A. It is more profitable to invest in an electric car than in a mobile phone.v B. Spending more money on an electric car can increase its second hand valu
88、e.C. Its much more costly to replace the failed batteries of an electric car with new ones.D. Compared with electric cars, batteries are of less importance to mobile phones.64. According to the passage, which of the following is the least likely to reduce an electric carsbattery life?A. Unplugging a
89、n electric car once its fully charged. B. Often charging the car infast mode to save time. C. Driving an electric car on sweltering summer days. D. Leaving the car in the parking lot for a long time. 65. Which of the following is FALSE regarding the measures researchers take to prolong a batterys li
90、fetime?A. Monitoring and studying batteries performance in long-distance traveling. B. Adding zeolite to encourage the acidifying chemical reaction in the battery.C. Using aluminium to improve the batterys performance enabling the car to travel farther. D. Keeping the battery partly charged to reduc
91、e its rate ofcalendar ageing. 66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_.A. The current technology enables an electric car to drive a million miles on a single charge. B. Electric car engineers are always on the go to develop batteries with greater longevity. C. Policies on the choice of b
92、attery materials will be tightened to control the traveling range. D. Drivers of future electric cars will no longer be worried about battery failure. Section C Directions: Fill in each blank in the article with a proper sentence given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are
93、two more sentences than you need.A. The best explanation is that dolphins learned this method from a close associate. B. Research shows that this behavior gets passed down almost exclusively through the maternal line.C. Young dolphins spend years in close association with their mothers and naturally
94、 tend to adopt their mothers waysD. Because while knowledge from previous generations has been tested by time, certain behaviors may become less useful if conditions change.E. Take, for example, the clever trick that some dolphins use to catch fish by trapping them in seashells.F. Based on this asse
95、rtion, we cant discount the possibility that they innovate individually on their own. Dolphins learn special foraging(捕食) techniques from their mothers-and its now clear that they can learn from their buddies as well. 67_ It turns out that they learn this skill by watching their pals do the job. The
96、 discovery, reported in the journal Current Biology, helps reveal how groups of wild animals can transmit learned behaviors and develop their own distinct cultures. Dolphins are indeed very clever animals. So it makes sense that they are able to learn from others, says Sonja Wild, a researcher at th
97、e University of Konstanz in Germany. 68_ This study, however, shows that dolphins are also motivated to learn from their peers in addition to mimicking their mothers. The bottle-nose dolphins that live in Shark Bay, Western Australia, have been studied for decades, and scientists have identified ove
98、r a thousand individuals by looking at the unique shape and markings of their dorsal fins. Researchers know what families the dolphins belong to, and keep track of their close associates. Wild and her colleagues have closely examined how dolphins learn particular strategy for catching fish-one that
99、involves using the empty shells of large sea snails. A dolphin will chase a fish to one of these shells, and then they insert their beak into the shell, bring the whole thing up to the face. After that, they shake it up above the water surface to drain the water out of the shell until the fish basic
100、ally falls into their open mouth. Whether or not dolphins caught fish in this way didnt seem to be explained by how many shells were lying around their hunting area, nor whether a dolphin was genetically related to another dolphin that knew how to do it. 69_ Previously, its been shown that humpback
101、whales seem to learn hunting techniques from their peers in a similar way. The new observations of wild dolphins learning from their peers is exciting, says Diana Reiss, a dolphin cognition researcher at Hunter College, CUNY, It tells us about the source of some these behaviors. It seems like theyre
102、 not relying on just leaming from mom when theyre out there. They seem to be observing others, watching what theyre doing and acquiring it from others in their social group. Being able to learn from peers may help animal populations survive in a changing environment. 70_ In unstable environments tha
103、t are changing, its more beneficial to kind of look around and see what others are doing says Wild, and maybe adopt their behavioral innovations that may be more adaptive to the new environmental conditions.I Summary Writing(10分) Directions: Read the following passage.

Use your own words as far as possible One Person/ Multiple Careers In an art show at a gallery, Gedvile Bunikyte is among the crowd, introducing her latest works on exhibit. However, her talents extend to far more than her beautifully geometric
