For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with
13、 the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.Infant Day Care, Good or Bad?The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may influence a childs personalit
14、y and lead to emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work (21) _ children should not be sent to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation (22) _ involves, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments (23) _ such
15、 a strong conclusion.Firstly, experts point out that the isolated love affair between children and parents (24) _ (find) in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not raise their
16、 infant alone far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today (25) _ parents and care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and they have regularly reported that day care had a slightly
17、positive effect on childrens development. But tests (26) _ have been used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental
18、 illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult (27) _ (deal) with. Children under three are likely to protest at (28) _ (leave) their parents and show unhappiness. At the age
19、 of three or three and a half almost all children find the change to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly (29) _ more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evidence (30) _ (indicate) early care is reasonable fo
20、r infants.Section BDirections: Complete the following 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. administeredB. assess C. evaluatingD. externallyE. improperlyF. life-threateningG. measuresH. originalI. preexistingJ. princ
21、iplesK. vitalFirst Aid: Difference between Death and LifeFirst aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is available. It may save a life or improve certain _31_ signs including pulse, temperature, and breathing. First aid must be _32_ as qu
22、ickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life.First-aid _33_ depend upon a victims needs and the providers level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what
23、 to do. For example, _34_ moving a person with a neck injury can lead to permanent health problems.Despite the variety of injuries possible, several _35_ of first aid apply to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that
24、 medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, _36_ the scene, asking other people or the injured persons family or friends about details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and _37_ conditions such as heart trouble. Unless
25、the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim.First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether _38_ conditions exist. One method for _39_ a victims condition is known by the acronym ABC, which stands for: A Airway: is it open and
26、 clear?B Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen and feel for breathing.C Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding _40_? Check skin color and temperature for additional indications of circulation problems.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the foll
27、owing passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Animal RightsEvery conscious being has interests that should be respected. No being who is conscious of being alive should be devalued to thinghood, dominated, a
28、nd used as a resource or _41_. The key point of the idea known as animal rights is a movement to extend moral consideration to all _42_ beings. Nobody should have to demonstrate a specific level of intelligence or be judged beautiful to be given moral consideration. No being should have to be useful
29、 to humanity or capable of accepting “duties” in order to be extended moral consideration. _43_, what other animals need from us is being free from duties to us.Animal rights is about letting animals live on their own terms. It can be written into our laws, but is not an actual list or bill of right
30、s as we have for human society. It begins with our promises not to act like _44_ of others. Animal rights is about justice treating animals fairly.Why is animal rights _45 _? It is because we humans often act as though we are the only beings on the planet. Although we depend on other animals for our
31、 very survival, humans are the only animals that have upset the balance of nature. There are lots of ways that humans _46_ animals. We domesticate them and use them for food, even though our nutritional needs can be completely supplied by a(n) _47_ diet. Although other materials are available, we us
32、e animals skin and other body parts for clothing, furs, hats, boots, jewellery and even pet toys. Humans can talk about it but animals cannot. All animals wish to experience life in its fullness. Unlike many animals who have to kill to survive, humans do not. Why should humans cause _48_ to other be
33、ings when its not necessary?As we do, animals protect their children; they feel fear; they warn each other of dangers; they play. We might differ from other animals in some ways, but that doesnt give us the right to _49_ them down, take their lands, pollute their waters, or use them for our convenie
34、nces. Animals also experience pain and its not difficult to observe _50_ of pain in the way a conscious being reacts to it. We take advantage, cause distress, and act _51_ when we use animals for amusement. Lots of pets are _52_ on the streets when their owners no longer find it convenient or afford
35、able to keep or care for them.Whether we admit it or not, its a prejudice to think we are _53_ to animals and that it is our right to control them, which can only make people act mean, hateful or neglectful. However, each of us has within us the power to _54_. We can adopt a different attitude, one
36、that reshape our destiny. This will have wonderful effects on the planets other communities, for life is _55_ avoiding suffering. It is interacting, singing, pursuing joy. We humans can learn to live responsibly, with respect, kindness and love.41. A. companiesB. goodsC. insects D. providers42. A. a

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
40、fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Did English football finally find a new star? At the age of 19, Theo Walcott came onto the scene by scoring a hat-trick for England in a 4-1 victory over Croatia in 2010 World Cup.Walcotts lightning speed and accurate shoot
41、ing turned the teenager into an overnight star. Many thought he was a new dawn for the England team. He was building his fame for his fast pace, with former Barcelona manager Pep declaring that “you would need a gun to stop him.” FIFA World Player of the Year winner Lionel Messi once also described
42、Walcott as “one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against.” In addition to his speed, Walcott also possessed good balance, movement and technique.It was symbolic that Walcotts goals came from the right-wing. The position had been played by “golden boy” David Beckham for more than 10 y
43、ears. No longer were the cheers for Beckham. The fans hopes now rested on the shoulders of Walcott.Walcott was born in London to a black British Jamaican father and a white English mother. He grew up as a Liverpool fan due to his fathers support of Liverpool. When Chelsea asked him to be a ball boy,
44、 he used the opportunity to meet his Liverpool idols. The teenagers rise to fame was not completely out of blue. He was part of Englands World Cup team in 2006, but he did not get to play a match. He also spent over two years at Arsenal, where he was fast becoming a key player.But that year, few wer
45、e expecting the wonderful performance between England and Croatia. The teenager was the first England player to score three goals in a game since Michael Owen did so seven years before.Although England was full of superstars, they had a poor record in major tournaments. But things were beginning to
46、change. The win against Croatia was sweet revenge. Croatia was the team which knocked England out of Euro 2008.Walcotts wonderful performance lighted England fans hope for World Cup victory in South Africa in 2010, since England had not lifted the cup since 1966.But before England fans got too carri
47、ed away, our reflection on the past history told us that placing a countrys hopes on one teenager was dangerous.56. Which of the following CANNOT account for Walcotts increasing fame?A. Fast speed.B. Masterly skills.C. Positional sense. D. Unusual family.57. Why did the author mention David Beckham
48、in the 3rd paragraph?A. To show that England football once had a glorious history.B. To illustrate that Walcott could be entitled “golden boy”.C. To indicate that England fans were difficult to please.D. To imply that people had high expectation on Walcott.58. In the 5th paragraph, the underlined ph
49、rase “out of blue” most probably means “_”.A. impoliteB. unexpectedC. impossible D. unintentional59. What is the author most likely to agree with? A. Walcott might not live up to fans expectation.B. Walcott might transfer from Arsenal to Liverpool. C. Croatia might change the history of the World Cu
50、p.D. England might be defeated by the opponent in the next round.(B) Overview Explore Stewart Island and the surrounding bays in our modern mini-buses.

58、following EXCEPT _.A. breath-taking scenery B. charming walks C. dinosaur samplesD. detailed tour guide(C)What does it say about the future of meat when the countrys largest processor of chicken, pork, and beef buys a stake(股份) in a start-up that aims to “perfectly replace animal protein with plant
59、protein”?Tyson Foods announced this week that it purchased a 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat, the Southern California-based food-tech start-up that made headlines earlier this year with its veggie burger that reportedly cooks and tastes like real beef.To be sure, Beyond Meats meatless creations have
60、yet to take the country by storm. Although the 100 percent plant-based burgers have achieved plenty of positive press since they appeared for the first time in May, so far theyre only available at Whole Foods stores in seven states. Even though the companys “chicken” strips, “beef” pies, and meatles
61、s frozen dinners are available nationwide, Beyond Meat is hardly a household name.That may be what makes the news of Tysons investment all the more noteworthy. While the two companies declined to give details about the deal, its doubtful that Tysons 5 percent stake made much of dent(凹陷) in the meat
62、giants coffers(金库). The company posted $41.4 billion in sales last year; prior to the deal with Tyson, Beyond Meat had reportedly raised $64 million in project capital fundingabout what Tyson earns before lunch on any given day.Tyson is doing pretty great. The company reported record third-quarter e
63、arnings per share in August and says that it expects overall meat production to increase 2 to 3 percent during the next financial year. But like a big oil company shelling out cash to invest in wind power, Tysons toe-in-the-water move to team up with a start-up devoted to bringing more plant-based p
64、rotein to American dinner tables seems to suggest the meat industry is starting to see which way the winds are blowing.Sales of plant-based protein, which totaled an estimated $5 billion last year, continue to pale compared with the market for meat in Americabut vegetarian alternatives to meat are b
65、ooming, with sales growing at more than double the rate for food products overall. The steady drumbeat of news about the negative health impacts, environmental problems, and animal welfare concerns associated with meat consumption appears to be sinking in. According to a survey released in April, mo
66、re than half of Americans surveyed said they plan to eat more plant-based foods in the coming year.63. Beyond Meats veggie burger made headlines probably because _.A. it makes perfect use of animal proteinB. it uses high tech in the making processC. it tastes as good as a genuine beef burgerD. it re
67、presents the diet trend in South California64. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the state of Beyond Meat?A. It is the creator of the countrys first 100 percent plant-based burgers.B. It has been well received as its products are available nationwide.C. It is far from being a match
68、 to real food processing giants like Tyson.D. It provides high-quality dining experience in selected Whole Foods stores.65. What can we infer from paragraph 4?A. The purchase of the stake barely costs a thing for Tyson.B. The 5 percent stake in Beyond Meat means a lot to Tyson.C. Tysons investment h
69、asnt caught the attention of the media as expected.D. Tyson is relying on this investment to raise more project capital funding.66. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Meat will still take over the market in spite of other alternatives.B. A major American meat company is betting on plant-base
70、d protein.C. Tyson and Beyond Meat work together to build a global meat giant.D. Plants have been found to contain protein that does more good to human beings.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only o
71、nce. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. Many of us just drive on as we have right of way.B. It is this social aspect that makes many people suspicious about driverless cars.C. The latest robot cars are able to make the necessary eye contact with a human driver.D. Humans are alwa
72、ys suspicious about new technologies of which they have little experience.E. Even many people with suspicion accept that emotionless AVs could cause fewer accidents than we humans.F. These safety-first robot cars could become victims of their own politeness and end up being bullied andignored by agg
73、ressive, impatient humans.Would You Bully(欺负) a Driverless Car or Show It Respect?Say youre driving down a two-way street and theres a truck unloading a delivery in the opposite lane. The oncoming traffic needs to pull out into your lane to overtake. What do you do?_67_ Eventually one of us feels ch
74、aritable and slows down to allow the oncoming car to overtake and give permission with a quick flash of headlights or a wave of the hand.But what if the car waiting patiently behind the parked truck is a driverless or autonomous vehicle (AV)? Will this robot car be able to understand what you mean w
75、hen you flash your lights or wave your hands? Its sensors could decide that its only safe to overtake when theres no oncoming traffic at all. On a busy road at school home time, this may be never, leading to increasingly angry drivers queuing behind. _68_ This is one of the conclusions to be drawn f
76、rom research carried out by Dr Chris Tennant of the psychological and behavioural science department at the London School of Economics.His Europe-wide survey finds that nearly two-thirds of drivers think machines wont have enough common sense to interact with human drivers, and more than two-fifths
77、think a robot car would remain stuck behind our assumed parked truck for a long time. Driving isnt just about technology and engineering, its about human interactions and psychology. The road is a social space. _69_ “If you view the road as a social space, you will consciously negotiate your journey
78、 with other drivers. People who like that negotiation process appear to feel less comfortable engaging with AVs than with human drivers,” says Mr Tennant in his report. _70_ A statistic often trotted out(动不动就搬出) is that human error is responsible for more than 90% of accidents, with our tendency to
79、road anger, tiredness and lack of concentration.IV. Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Super Size MeFast food, otherwise known as junk food, is a huge passi
80、on for a large number of people across the Western world. But what would happen if you ate lots of junk food, every day? Would it seriously damage your health? These were the questions which led Morgan Spurlock, an independent film-maker, to do an experiment, which he made into a documentary film en
81、titled Super Size Me.The main basis of his experiment was that Spurlock promised to eat three McDonalds meals a day, every day, for a month. He could only eat food from McDonalds and every time an employee asked if he would like to “super size” the meal, he had to agree. “Super sizing” refers to the
82、 fact that with this type of meal you get a considerable larger portion of everything. Spurlock knew that by eating three McDonalds meals a day, he would consume a lot of fat and a great deal of salt and sugar in each mealmuch more than he needed. Although Spurlock knew he would put on a bit of weig
83、ht, and that this diet was unhealthy, he wasnt quite prepared for just how unhealthy it turned out to be. The changes in his body were horrifying in the first week, he put on 4.5 kilos and by the end of the thirty days he had gained nearly 14 kilos, bringing his total weight to a massive 98kg.Spurlo
84、ck says “Id love people to walk out of the movie and say, Next time Im not going to “super size”. Maybe Im not going have any junk food at all. Im going to sit down and eat dinner with my kids, with the TV off, so that we can eat healthy food, talk about what were eating and have a relationship with
85、 each other.” Food for thought indeed.第II卷 （共40分）V.

While now were beginn

In addition, in order to give visitors some ideas about the authors and their works, weve also arranged a section as a bookshop. You can see it just next to the entrance, although it looks as though lined with
