21、st of us dont, and the reason we usually leave drawing to the artists is because were not very good at it. Who wants to do something theyre bad at? But maybe we should 31 this assumption, especially since drawing has so many benefits, artist or not.We should 32 this idea: What if drawing was just a
22、low-stakes thing we did because we enjoyed it and it helped us see the world better?“We have misfiled the significance of drawing because we see it as a 33 skill instead of a 34 capacity,” writes design historian D.B.Dowd in his book, “Stick Figures:Drawing as a Human Practice.” “This 35 confusion h
23、as hindered our understanding of drawing and kept it from being seen as a tool for learning above all else.”Heres an example: You might enjoy eating at a restaurant that boasts an incredible chef, and you may also enjoy a great pasta dish you make at home. One doesnt 36 the other; you can appreciate
24、 a meticulously assembled meal as much as a homemade onetheyre just different. The same is true for drawing.Sitting(or standing!) with a pad and pencil, drawing something you see or imagine requires focus and a 37 quiet mind, something many of us are looking to cultivate.

But 38 if you arent used to drawing, you might be itching to run away and do something-anything-else at the start. To deal
26、 with your 39 , give yourself a time limit. Set a timer for 20 minutes; that should give you enough time to put in a genuine effort and get to the point where your mind will quiet down.

46、an hour later, the mans voice was heard, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but youre all set now.” “Thanks,” I said. “How much do I owe you?” He shook his head, “Nothing. Cynthia told me you were a cripple（跛者）. Glad to be of help. 1 know youd do the same for me. Theres no charge, friend.” I held

59、w molecules（ 分 子 ）engineered by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers can enable rapid, direct “editing” of genes in a wide range of cell types, creating an series of research and therapeutic possibilities.The molecules, known as base editors, can attach to a target DNA sequence and chemically alter a
60、single DNA letter. Base editing technology, just two years old, developed from the better known CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology. CRISPR/Cas9 molecules allow scientists to cut almost any piece of DNA in a cell and in this way disable or remove a gene. By contrast, a base editor molecule, using es
61、sentially the same DNA-targeting mechanism, chemically modifies a gene rather than cutting it out.Base editing is better suited for making or correcting single-base “point mutations（基因突变 ）” in DNAthe cause of many inherited diseases and cancersand in principle involves less risk of having collateral
62、 impact on other normal DNA. However, first-generation base editors operate efficiently in relatively few cell types. Together, the team systematically re-engineered the principal existing set of base editors, known as BE3, BE4Gam and xBE3, to boost their production in cellslow production had been a
63、 problem in many cell types. The optimized editors, unlike the first generation version, work efficiently in a wide variety of cell types and model systems, including mouse and human cell lines, and even liver cells in live mice.“These new base editors allow us to model and study diseases such as ca
64、ncer in new ways, but they really have applications all the way across biomedical research,” said senior study author Dr. Lukas Dow, an assistant professor of biochemistry in medicine and a member of the Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine，and a paid advisory board member
65、for Mirimus, Inc., a company focused on genome（基因组）editing technologies to develop animalmodels.The Weill Cornell Medicine scientists now plan to use the new editors for several research applications, including the investigation of mutations associated with cancers to find suitable targets for thera
66、pies. “There is a huge list of cancer-linked mutations whose precise roles in cancer are unknown, and now with these optimized tools we can study them affordably and in a feasible time frame,” Dr. Dow said.The optimized editors are also being studied by researchers working on other applications, inc

Base editing technology is of great value only in biomedical research.D. It is unknown why mutations cause cancer.66.

70、ou do not need to use.A. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they are to be depressed.B. Maybe you feel comforted by the notification sound that someone has sent you a message.C. Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.D. The issue is how much time
71、spent on social media is too much.E. Teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts.F. But depression is a more serious condition.Are you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smartphone to see how many likes youve received for your latest post?Dont worry,
72、 youre not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is dedicated to social media. 67. This is something particularly afflicting(折磨)young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. 68. In tests, those people who check
73、ed social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk. The study found that exposure to “highly idealised representations of peers on social media elicits feelings of envy a
74、ndthe distorted belief that others lead happier, more successful lives.”Some of us certainly feel sad when were ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us. 69. Clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, “Its a real issue, and its been
75、 getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships.” However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen pre-existing issues than directly cause them.70. It found that those with higher levels of emotiona
76、l investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we dont want to miss out on a conversation thats taking place online.But we need
77、 to know when to switch off our virtual online world and connect with the real world instead.IV. 71. Summary Writing（满分 15 分）Directions: Write a summary of the passage in more than 60 words and the original sentences in the passage are not allowed to use.Who is in control of your life? Who is pullin
78、g your strings? For the majority of us, its other peoplesociety, colleagues, friends, or our family. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do every
79、thing we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”When people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this goodfeeling like a d
80、rugwe are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their drug, we worsen our own ex
81、istence to get our own constant drug of approval.But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedomthe freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their o
82、pinions all the time. Moreover, people have their own business, and in the end, theyre more interested in themselves than in you. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I think theres onl
83、y one waymake a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of valuesnot values imposed( 强 加 )from the outside by others, but values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems
84、of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.V.

One is teaching, and the other, health care. You have so many applications
104、and software and platforms that are going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields, which means a lot of health care and education sectors will be radically changed and a lot of jobs will be lost.Now, where will the new jobs be found?

107、ause they cant get a job that pays enough. Thats why I wrote this book, which is about how to reorganize the economy for the future when technology brings about destructive changes to what we used to consider high-income work.(Now listen again, please.)If you are young and thinking about your career

129、AFEIV. Summary Writing71Our life is controlled by other people because we want their approval and appreciation. However, this can cost us our freedom to be ourselves since peoples opinions change frequently and they have more interest in themselves. Therefore, we need to stop caring others opinions
130、and guide ourselves by our own inside values. (54words)V. Translation72. Hes much confident of the competition result.73.

For the government of different countries, how to cooperate efficiently and get rid of the world financial crisis as soon as possible is still a difficult problem up to now.VI. Guided WritingDear Mike,It has been a long time since I last wrote to you. As for your worry ab
132、out whether to be a doctor as your parents hope or to take up E-sports as your career, I have some suggestions.I can see from your letter that you are eager to choose E-sports as your future career. If you are quite confident that as an E-sports player, you can live a comfortable life in the future,
133、 I suggest you make a detailed introduction of E-sports to your parents, let them know what E-sports is and that E-sports is your lifelong dream. If you are forced to give it up, youll certainly be regretful in the future. Communicate with your parents like a mature person instead of quarreling with
134、 them, and they will understand you finally.But to be frank, if you are not actually very talented with E-sports, it is wise of you to regard it only as a hobby. After all, the market of E-sports is always very competitive. What your parents look forward to is nothing but a bright future of you. Have you ever heard a saying that you will suffer if you dont take an old mans advice?So think twice, judge yourself and make a wise choice. Hope you will not be worried about it any more.Yoursincerely, May
