However, Britain is quite an expensive place to study a
9、nd live in. Tuition fees have now reached 9,250 a year and students also face some of the highest living costs in the world.Fortunately, there are a number of countries where universities offer degree programs entirely in English, along with the chance to learn the local language while you live ther
10、e. Here are three of the options. Tianjin UniversityMoving to China is not for the faint hearted. Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years. Living costs are only around 400 a month and tuition fees are 2,300 a year. Flights will cost 3,600 over the four years. The total cost, at 28,80
11、0, is still around half that of a three-year degree in Britain. Tianjin is one of the worlds latest cities and is only a half-hour train ride from Beijing. Three undergraduate programs are offered in English: Chemical Engineering, Environment & Energy and Pharmaceutical Science.University of Amsterd
12、amThe Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in, but standard tuition fees of 1,800 a year make it significantly cheaper than a British degree.

16、of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and Speedos!Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystem with their large diversity of marine (海洋的) life. When asked why he doesnt wear a wetsuit, Lewis says, “I ask
17、 world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If Im asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.”It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer s
18、wim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius (摄氏度). He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle (肌肉) control to drop, slowing
19、him down. When he is done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal.Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing
20、 water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic
21、 ice due to climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarcticas Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there.24.

How to prepare for extreme swimming D. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossibleCMany leading AI researchers think tha
24、t in a matter of decades, artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs, forever transforming life on Earth. The reason why many reject this as science fiction is that weve traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist
25、 in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific. From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind of information-processing performed by elementary particles(基本粒子) moving around, and there is no law of physics that says one c
26、ant build machines more intelligent than us in all ways. This suggests that weve only seen the tip of the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that is potential in nature and use it to help humanity.If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since
27、everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence, amplifying (扩大) our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrows toughest problems. For example, why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI
28、might help us find cures for? Why not increase productivity through automation (自动化) and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable (可持续的) energy?Im optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our te
29、chnology and the knowledge with which we manage it. But this requires giving up our outdated concept of learning form mistakes. That helped us win the race with less powerful technology: We messed up with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器), and we messed up with cars and then invented s
30、eat belts. However, its an awful idea for more powerful technologies, such as nuclear weapons or superintelligent AI where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right the first time.28. How do many people feel about leading AI researchers predictions?A. Worried B. Curious C
31、. Doubtful D. Disappointed29. What does the author think of intelligence?A. We know little about it. B. It belongs to human beings.C. It is too difficult to understand. D. We have a good command of it.30. What does the underlined word “upside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Cost. B. Potential. C. Q
32、uantity. D. Advantage.31. Whats important for us in the race between people and technology?A. Learning from failure. B. Increasing our intelligence.C. Avoiding making mistakes. D. Making accurate predictions.DAir travel can be annoying. But research now suggests global warming could make it much wor
33、se. To get off the ground in really hot weather, planes may be forced to carry fewer passengers. That might mean a little more space, which would be good. However, it also would make the passengers pay more.Average air temperatures around the world are rising because people are polluting the air wit
34、h an increasing number of greenhouse gases, which, such as carbon dioxide, are a byproduct (副产品) of burning fuels. Those warmer temperatures can influence an airplanes ability to fly because air molecules (分子) spread out more as the air warms. This produces less lift under a planes wings, so a plane
35、 must be lighter to take off in hot weather than on cooler days.It can even prove too dangerous for some planes to attempt a take-off. A record of June heat wave in the American Southwest, for instance, caused flight cancellations in Phoenix, Ariz. One airlines planes were cleared to operate only up
36、 to 47.8 degree Celsius. On June 20, Phoenix reached 48.3C!Radley Horton is a climate scientist at Columbia University. Two years ago, he and his graduate student Ethan David Coffel studied the impact of warming at four U.S. airports and found that warming of track could triple (使成三倍) the number of
37、days when planes face weight restrictions. Later, they explored the impact of rising temperatures on live types of commercial planes flying out of 19 of the worlds busiest airports. In the coming decades, as many as one to three out of every 10 flights that take off during the hottest time of day co
38、uld face weight. That would be equal to taking a dozen people off the plane, the researchers calculated.32. How would global warming affect air travel according to the first paragraph?A. Itll add to the danger of flying. B. Itll increase passengers travel cost.C. Itll make flying much more comfortab
39、le. D. Itll encourage more people lo travel by plane.33. What is the second paragraph actually intended to explain?A. How global warming is happening. B. What decides a planes ability to fly.C. Why global warming affects flying. D. Where greenhouse gases are created. 34. What is the last paragraph m
40、ainly about?A. Reasons for flight cancellation. B. The findings of a weight-related research.C. The tendency of temperature change. D. Effects of hot air on financial growth.35. What should be the best title for the text?A. Air Travel Isnt Recommended during Hot Weather C. Rising Temperatures May Re
41、duce the Number of Flights C. Weight Restrictions Are More Common in More AirportsD. Hotter Air May Lead to Planes Carrying Fewer Passengers第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to
42、sleep, they die within a month. 36 One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 37 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear. Support is growing for
43、 a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 38 Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 39 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18
44、per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononis theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a nights, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information our brains may have smaller room for new
45、 experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 40 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night b
46、efore.B. Its as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Thats why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.D. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.E. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with
47、 memories.F. Tononis team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.G. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）One day I overheard my mom talk about a family whose work sche
