These groups of people were
8、the Angels, the Saxons and the Jutes. They crossed the North Sea from Denmark and Germany. At that time the _31_ people of Britain spoke a Celtic language. But more of the Celtic speakers were _32_ west and north by the invaders into Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Angles came from “England” and th
9、eir language was called “Englisc”, from which the words “England” and “English” _33_. Old English (450-1100AD)The invading Germanic tribes spoke languages _34_, which in Britain developed into Old English. Old English didnt sound or look like English today. However, about half of the most _35_ used
10、words in Modern English have Old English roots. The words be, strong and water, for example, come from Old English. Middle English (1100-1500)In 1066, William the Conqueror invaded and conquered England. For a period in the history, the lower classes spoke English and the upper classes spoke French.
11、 In the 14th century English became _36_ in Britain again, but with many French words added. This language is called Middle English. It was the language of the great poet Chaucer (1340 - 1400), but it would still be a(n) _37_ for native English speakers to understand today. Modern English Early Mode
12、rn English (1500 - 1800)Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in _38_ started, with vowels pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact with many peoples from around the world. Many new words and phrases entered the language. Also, the invention of _39_
13、brought standardization to English. Spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of London became the standard. Late Modern English (1800 - Present)The main difference between Early Modern English and Late Modern English is _40_. Late Modern English has many more words, resulting from two majo
14、r factors; firstly, the Industrial Revolution created a need for new word: secondly, the English language adopter foreign words from many countries. III.

The new generation
16、of entrepreneurs, “the post-90s, were born to be global,” he says. They have never experienced hard times in China so they have a completely different mindset”, more _42_ to that of their peers in the US or Europe than their parents. More and more made-in-China innovations are _43_. China has warmly
17、 received bike-sharing, _44_ its way with a dock-less model that offers _45_ advantages over comparable services in London and New York: Bikes are _46_ using mobile apps, and can be picked up and left anywhere.

China last year produced roughly nine
22、times as many graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics as the US.

26、re 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)An American exploration company, the Nauticos Corporation, has found the wreck of an ancient Greek ship in a very deep area of the Mediterranean Sea. It may be
27、the deepest ancient shipwreck ever found. The discovery questions a long-held idea that ancient sailors didnt have skills needed to guide ships in open seas.The ancient ship lay more than 3,000 meters below the surface of the Mediterranean. The wreck was more than 489 kilometers from the Island of C
28、orsica. Scientists believe the ship is about 2,300 years old.The company was looking for an Israeli submarine that had disappeared more than thirty years ago. Nauticos official Thomas Dettweiler said two company ships were searching for the Israeli submarine. He supervised the operation from a ship
29、with sonar equipment. A sonar system uses sound waves to find and identify objects under the water. A second ship carried a vehicle for deep-sea searches.During the search, one ships sonar began making strange sounds. Mr. Dettweiler thought this meant they had found the lost submarine. He ordered th
30、e other ship to send down the deep-sea vehicle to search.But a video camera on the vehicle did not show a submarine. Instead, it showed many large clay containers lying on the bottom of the sea. These containers are called amphoras. Mr. Dettweiler was excited. He says he knew that the 2,000 amphoras
31、 they had found meant they had discovered an important shipwreck. In ancient times such containers held wine, olive oil and other goods.Nauticos and the scientists hope to do more research in the area soon. Mr. Dettweiler believes four other ancient ships may be nearby. He says finding shipwrecks fr
32、om different time periods could be especially important. It could be the first evidence of continued open-sea trading in the ancient world.56. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. It is still believed that ancient sailors didnt know how to guide ships in open sea.B. The ancient ship was
33、 discovered by an American exploration company.C. The exploration company happened to find the ancient ship in the sea. D.

36、 open-sea trading in ancient times（B）You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years? Jane Addams (1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by social worke
37、r has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907-1964)If it weren
38、t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the worlds lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O Connor (1930-present)When Sandra Day O Connor finish
39、ed third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.

43、(C)For years, studies have found that first-generation college students those who do not have a parent with a college degree lag behind other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to ad
44、vance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created a paradox in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has continued to reproduce and
45、widen, rather than close the achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper set to be published in the journal Psychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach
46、 (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factors as grades) between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings are based on a study involving 147 students
47、(who completed the project) at an unnamed private university. First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students (59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial needs, while this
48、was true only for 8.6 percent of the students with at least one parent with a four-year degree.Their thesis that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to
49、deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-generation students “struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education, learn the rules of the g
50、ame, and take advantage of college resources,” they write. And this becomes more of a problem when colleges dont talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students. Because U.S. colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students educationa
51、l experience, many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students like them can improve.63.The authors of the research article are optimistic because _ .A. the problem is solvableB. their approach is costlessC. the recruiting rate has increasedD
52、 .their findings appeal to students64.The study suggests that most first-generation students _ .A. study at private universitiesB. are from single-parent familiesC. are in need of financial supportD. have failed their college education65. The authors of the paper believe that first-generation studen
53、ts _ .A. are actually indifferent to the achievement gapB. are inexperienced in handling their issues at collegeC. may lack opportunities to apply for research projectsD. can have a potential influence on other students66. We may infer from the last paragraph that _ .A. universities often reject the
54、 culture of the middle-classB. students are usually to blame for their lack of resourcesC. social class greatly helps enrich ones educational experienceD. colleges are partly responsible for the problem in questionSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sent
55、ence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. It may sound like a pretty interesting job. B. But in fact shes undercover, secretly testing the hotel. C. In big hotels, that can be a lot of work, she explains. D. Thats also why sh
56、e doesnt want to be named in this article. E. Reviews from ordinary guests have become more important. F. She also checks to see if the playground is in the shade and assesses the quality of the food. What Its Like to Be a Hotel TesterA woman arrives alone to stay at a hotel. She sits by the pool an
57、d later order room service. The hotel staff assume shes on holiday. _67_ This particular hotel tester is on a secret mission in Gran Cannria, Spain, checking the Las Palmmas hotels standard of service. I can try everything here, she says. But what sounds like going on holiday for a living is actuall
58、y hard work. Theres a list of 2,500 questions that have to be addressed before she leaves the hotel. Its vital to maintain her anonymity（匿名）to ensure shes not given special treatment by the hotel staff. _68_. She looks at things like the staffs level of helpfulness, the cleanliness in the rooms, and
59、 even small things like whether the toilet paper is folded neatly _69_ At the start it was difficult to remember all the questions, she says. After all she cant bring the list with her to the pool so she has to memorise it. Every day she checks a different part of the hotel and sometimes takes photo
60、s. Then she writes a detailed report, including everything positive and negative she has encountered. _70_ However, its a profession that could be on its way out. One hotel tester, Michael Bauer, says that there are fewer testers than before because many guests now post reviews online, meaning, the
61、hotel management can see what customers say on sites like Trip-Advisor, B and take steps to improve things. You dont need testers for that, Bauer says. We are a dying breed.IV.
