45、0 percent of modern medicines and more than 90 percent of traditional medicines come from wild plants and animals.” _29_, a world that promotes healthy ecosystems and biodiversity provides crucial buffers (缓冲) between disease and humans. A number of studies have _30_ reduced diversity among mammal (

Healthy ecosystems that are home to unique species _33_ tourists from around the world, which helps the local economy and invites in a new fusion of investment.Our unsustainable, unconscious, self-

Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third mi
64、llennium (一千年) BC in China, it was not until the mid-17th century that the drink first appeared in England. It was the Portuguese and Dutch traders who first imported tea to Europe, reaching the Continent by the way of Venice around 1560, with regular shipments by 1610.Curiously, it was the London c
65、offee houses that were responsible for introducing tea to England. One of the first coffee house merchants to offer tea was Thomas Garway. He sold both liquid and dry tea to the public as early as 1657. Three years later he issued a broadsheet advertising tea at 6 to 10 per pound, touting ( 兜 售 ) it
66、s virtues at “making the body active and lusty (健壮的)”, and “preserving perfect health until extreme old age”.Tea gained popularity quickly in the coffee houses, and by 1700 over 500 coffee houses sold it. This distressed the pub owners, as tea cut their sales of beer, and it was bad news for the gov
67、ernment, who depended upon a steady stream of revenue (税收) from taxes on liquor sales. By 1750 tea had become the favoured drink of Britains lower classes.A 1676 act taxed tea and required coffee house operators to apply for a license. This was just the start of government attempts to control, or at
68、 least, to profit from the popularity of tea in Britain. By the mid-18th century the duty on tea had reached a ridiculous 119 percent. This heavy taxation had the effect of creating a whole new industry tea smuggling ( 走 私 ). Ships from Holland and Scandinavia brought tea to the British coast, then
69、stood offshore while smugglers met them and unloaded the precious cargo in small vessels. The smugglers, often local fishermen, secretly moved the tea inland through underground passages and hidden paths to special hiding places. One of the best hiding places was in the local church!Even smuggled te
70、a was expensive, however, and therefore extremely profitable, so many smugglers began to adulterate (掺假) the tea with other substances, such as willow and sloe leaves. Used tea leaves were also redried and added to fresh leaves.Finally, in 1784 William Pitt the Younger introduced the Commutation Act
71、, which dropped the tax on tea from 119% to 12.5%, effectively ending smuggling. Adulteration remained a problem, though, until the Food and Drug Act of 1875 brought in severe punishment for the practice.36.

75、drinks，可知茶，最典型的英国饮料，可知，喝茶在英国也是很受欢迎的。选项B和文章的意义相符合。故选B项。【37题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段前两句：Tea gained popularity quickly in the coffee houses, and by 1700 over 500 coffee houses sold it. This distressed the pub owners, as tea cut their sales of beer, and it was bad news for the government, who depended upon a stea
76、dy stream of revenue (税收) from taxes on liquor sales.可知。茶的流行使酒吧老板很苦恼，因为茶的出售因为茶削减了他们的啤酒销量，这对政府来说是个坏消息，因为政府依赖于来自酒类销售税收的稳定收入。选项B符合题意。故选B项。【38题详解】细节理解题。结合文章第四段： This heavy taxation had the effect of creating a whole new industry tea smuggling ( 走 私 ). Ships from Holland and Scandinavia brought tea to th

The smugglers, often local fishermen, secretly moved the tea inland through underground passages and hidden paths to special hiding places. One of the best hiding places was in the local c
78、hurch!这种重税造成了一个全新的产业茶叶走私。 来自荷兰和斯堪的纳维亚的船只，把茶叶带到了英国海岸，然后停靠在近海，走私者与他们会面，用小船卸下珍贵的货物。 走私者，通常是当地的渔民，通过地下通道和隐蔽的小路，秘密地将茶叶运往内陆特殊的藏匿地点。最好的藏身之处就是当地的教堂！可以知道，因为对茶叶的重税，促使茶叶走私的形成。当地渔民把走私的茶叶藏在当地的教堂，所以教堂为走私茶叶提供了便利。所以A项符合题意。故选A项。【39题详解】细节理解题。理解文章最后一段：最后，在1784年，小威廉皮特引入了减税法案，将茶叶税从119% 降至12.5% ，有效地终止了走私。 掺假一直是个问题，直到1875
79、年的食品和药品法对这种行为进行了严厉的惩罚。可以得知，正是因为对茶叶掺假问题的行为进行了严厉的惩罚后，茶叶市场才恢复了正常的秩序。选项C和文章意义相符。故选C项。(B)These are pages pasted on a college bulletin board.

91、题。根据第一条广告中“However, English corners are arranged on Thursdays, and therefore we need you to be on site from 3pm to 5pm.”可知，作为兼职的双语秘书，周四的英语角活动时必须在场。故选A项。【41题详解】推理判断题。根据第三条广告中的“Work hours”一栏可知，这一兼职工作要求的工作时段细分了很多，所以有不少位置空缺，C选项“因为申请者必须在不规则的时段工作”符合文意。故选C项。【42题详解】细节理解题。根据第一条广告中“are offered to junior and s
92、enior year students with excellent secretarial skills, the ability to communicate, an outgoing personality and a strong sense of responsibility.”可知，国际交换部需要的秘书必须擅长人际交流，也需要负责任。故选D项。(C)China has long been tipped to be the next Silicon Valley, but now the finances and support are in place to make it hap
93、pen.There is a growing consensus ( 共 识 ) that while Silicon Valley is not about to disappear anytime soon, its next biggest rival is already on the verge of bursting onto the international scene not in the US, nor in the EU, but in Asia. More specifically, China.This is not just an observation based
94、 on the rise of companies like Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent. It is grounded in a more widespread move to fund start-ups in Asia to the point where more money is being invested there than in Europe. Just five years ago, Europe and Asia are neck and neck in terms of investment.In 2013, Europe made sligh
95、tly more deals, 1550 compared to Asias 1071, but the total value of investment was $7bn. Just five years later, Asia is now four times the size of Europe with twice as many deals carried out.Between 2013 to 2018, the number of deals in Asia increased nearly fivefold, and their value leapt to $81bn,
96、compared to the $21bn raised in Europe. The Asian figure also shows that the continent is closing the gap on the US which saw $105bn worth of deals.One of the main reasons that makes the country so attractive is not just the huge growth in investment and high education standards, but also local and
97、national governmental support benefiting tech companies.In fact, one of the conclusions of a recent Fortune tech conference was that Chinas tech companies will soon be beating American companies on their home turf. One of the reasons is that investors believe US immigration policy is making it more
98、difficult for the best talent around the world to find work there. Plus, Chinese companies are now able to start paying salaries that can keep pace with those on offer in Silicon Valley.Hence, when Ian Roger, Chief Digital Official at luxury group LVMH was asked where he thought the next Facebook or
99、 Google would come from, he suggested it would be a close call between Silicon Valley and China. The latter had the investment that is needed as well as a hard work culture of a six-day week. It also has a superb education system and a huge population.As Silicon Valley appears to be heating up a lit
100、tle too hard for some people, China would appear to be warming up at just the right pace.43. What does the expression “on the verge of ” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. on the way ofB. on the list ofC. on the condition ofD. on the point of44. Which of the following is NOT a reason why China attracts fore
101、ign investment in tech companies?A. High education standards.B. Huge growth in investment.C. Support from the government.D. Higher salaries than those in Silicon Valley.45. It cant be inferred from the passage that _.A. the US immigration policy is strict but talent-friendlyB. Ian Roger believes the
102、 next Google might come from ChinaC. employees of Baidu might be accustomed to overworkD. Chinese tech companies can provide highly competitive salaries now.46. What is the passage mainly about?A. The total value of investment in Asia is four times that in Europe.B. Finances, high education standard
103、s and support make it possible for China to become the next Silicon Valley.C. Asia attracts worldwide best talents to tech companies.D. American tech companies will soon be beaten by those in China.【答案】43. D 44. D 45. A 46. B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是资金、高教育水平和支持使中国成为下一个硅谷成为可能。【43题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段中This is not
104、just an observation based on the rise of companies like Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent. It is grounded in a more widespread move to fund start-ups in Asia to the point where more money is being invested there than in Europe.“这不仅仅是基于阿里巴巴、百度和腾讯等公司的崛起。它的基础是，为亚洲初创企业提供资金的做法更为普遍，投资于亚洲的资金已经超过了欧洲。”由此可知，“它的第二大竞争
105、对手已经在国际舞台上崭露头角不是在美国，也不是在欧盟，而是在亚洲。更具体地说,中国。”所以划线词的意思是“正要的时候”。故选D。【44题详解】推理判断题。根据第六段One of the main reasons that makes the country so attractive is not just the huge growth in investment and high education standards, but also local and national governmental support benefiting tech companies.“中国如此具有吸引力
106、的主要原因之一，不仅是投资的巨大增长和高教育标准，还有地方和国家政府对科技公司的支持。”由此可知，比硅谷更高的薪水并不是中国吸引外资投资科技公司的原因。故选D。【45题详解】推理判断题。根据第七段中One of the reasons is that investors believe US immigration policy is making it more difficult for the best talent around the world to find work there.“原因之一是，投资者认为，美国的移民政策加大了全球最优秀人才在美国找到工作的难度。”由此可知，不能从
107、文章中推断出美国的移民政策是严格的，但对人才是友好的。故选A。【46题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段China has long been tipped to be the next Silicon Valley, but now the finances and support are in place to make it happen.“长期以来，人们一直认为中国将成为下一个硅谷，但现在，实现这一目标所需的资金和支持已经到位。”由此可知，这篇文章讲述的是资金、高教育水平和支持使中国成为下一个硅谷成为可能。故选B。Section CDirections: Read the following

110、the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old while others fade._48_ It is now well accepted that people tend to mature as they get older, becoming less extroverted ( 外 向 的 ) and less open to new experiences. These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the pe

112、wer subjective age leaves us frozen in a state of permanent immaturity.Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. _49_ Most people felt about eight years younger than their actual chronological age (实际年龄).

D【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章引出了“主观年龄”这个概念，并讲述了主观年龄的认定对于人会造成哪些影响。【47题详解】空白前句指出人的实际年龄是无法改变的，E选项“但是日常的经历显示，人们对衰老的感受并不都是一样的”与前句形成转折，同时引起下文提出“主观年龄”的概念，承上启下，符合文意。故选E项。【48题详解】空白处位于段落开头，下句表示人们随着年龄增长会变得成熟，不再那么外向同时对新鲜事物不再感兴趣，再下句更是直接总结主观年龄和个性之间的关系。B
117、选项“研究中最有意思的部分之一就是探索主观年龄与我们的性格之间的关系”作为段首句，符合段落主题。故选B项。【49题详解】本段主题是主观年龄对于身心健康的影响。空白前句指出感觉自己比实际年龄年轻在精神方面的好处，A选项“这也意味着更良好的身体健康”承接上文，符合文意。故选A项。【50题详解】最后一段总结全文，D选项“这些发现能让我们看到我们的大脑和身体是怎么忍耐时间流逝的”与文段中提到的各种finding呼应，也能较为准确地反映文章主题。故选D项。IV.
