It is one hundred feet taller than Big Ben and weighs 1600 tons. It was built to celebrate the year 2000. Maybe building such a big spinning structure suggested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.‎ Why did people think of building the London Eye? In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893. It's twice the size of the wheel, but three times lighter, and much more comfortable. The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed(敬畏). ‎ In the London Eye, there are 32 capsules. Each of the capsules can hold up to 25 people. And they’re air conditioned in summer, heated in winter. From these capsules the visitors can see the most beautiful views of London. ‎ It was difficult to assemble(安装) and put a wheel of this size. And it required new technology and a lot of imagination. The parts of the London Eye were sent up the Thames‎ ‎River and the wheel was assembled on temporary platforms on the river. Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge. It took a week to winch(吊) it up to its final position.‎ Now the London Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium. And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.‎ 21. How tall is Big Ben?‎ A. ‎340-350 feet. B. 443 feet C. 550 feet. D. 250-260 feet 22. Why did London build the London Eye?‎ A. To set a new record.‎ B. To celebrate the Queen's birthday.‎ C. To celebrate the coming of 2000.‎ D. To beat the first observation wheel in Chicago.‎ ‎23. From the text, we can learn that___________.‎ A. the London Eye has been changed into a monument B. it took great trouble for people to build the London Eye C. the latest technology was used to assemble the London Eye D. imagination is not very important to build the London Eye B A few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations(语调) of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.‎ I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That’s how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window(后视镜), and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up — the product of his sacrifice.‎ And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”‎ Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) — to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative(故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.‎ I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as ‎ a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff (发怒)and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school!” when I get unrequested advice. I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.‎ 24. What disappointed the driver?‎ A. The author’s attitude towards him.‎ B. The school that the author is attending.‎ C. The author’s majors in history and literature.‎ D. The author’s interests in African American studies.‎ ‎25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 4?‎ A. wasting B. creating C. valuing D. seizing ‎26. Why are immigrant kids expected to be doctors or lawyers?‎ A. Their parents want them to move upward in society.‎ B. Their parents are high achieving as well.‎ C. They have more opportunities.‎ D. They are very smart in general. ‎ ‎27. How did the author react to the driver’s questioning?‎ A. Getting upset. B. Feeling satisfied.‎ C. Defending herself. D. Appreciating his concern. ‎ C Are you able to tell if people are lying? There is a piece of good news that a technology company is developing a lie detector app for smart phones that could be used by parents, teachers and Internet daters. The app measures blood flow in the face to assess whether or not you are telling the truth. Its developers say that it could be used for Internet daters wanting to see if somebody really is interested in them. Parents could use it on their children to see if they are lying, and teachers could work out which pupils are truthful.‎ The app is being developed by Toronto startup NuraLogix and the app is called Transdermal Optical Imaging. The idea is that different human feelings create ‎ different facial blood flow patterns that we have no control over. These patterns change if we are telling the truth or telling a lie, using footage（一组镜头） from the smart phone camera, the app will see the changes in skin colour and compare them to standardized results.‎ A study finds that anger is connected with more facial blood flow and redness while sadness is connected with less of both.‎ Kang Lee, who has been researching the field for 20 years, said that the lie detector test will let you find out the truth remotely and secretly. He said: “It could be very useful, for example, for teachers. A lot of our students have math anxiety, but they do not want to tell us because that’s embarrassing.”‎ Lee added that the technology would not replace lie detectors used in a court of law. He said: "They want the accuracy to be extremely high, like genetic tests-a one-in-a-million error rate. Our technique won't be able to achieve an extremely high accuracy level, so because of that, I don't think it's useful for the courts. He added that it will be a few years before the dating app is available to consumers.‎ ‎28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The operation process of the app. ‎ B. The history of a technology company.‎ C. The origin and development of the new technology.‎ ‎ D. The functions and applications of the app. ‎ ‎29. What do we know about the app?‎ A. Its accuracy is the same as genetic tests. ‎ B. It has been already on the market for a few years.‎ C. It will help see the structures of human skin. ‎ D. It can help teachers pick out the honest pupils.‎ ‎30. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. The technology will be applied to the medical field.‎ B. Sadness is related to less facial blood flow and redness when compared with anger.‎ ‎ C. Different human feelings have nothing to do with facial blood flow patterns.‎ D. The technology will replace lie detectors in the court of law,‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. The Story about Kang Lee B. The Disadvantages of New Technology C. A Developing App for Smart Phones D. Various Smart Phones ‎ D Youth football team members rescued more than two weeks after sudden flooding trapped them in a cave in Thailand are now being well looked after at a hospital in the northern city of Chiang Rai. In addition to treating the boys for potential body fluid loss, inadequate nutrition and lack of oxygen, their doctors also plan to closely monitor them for symptoms of diseases that may have been infected by animals living in the cave.‎ ‎“The next step is to make sure those kids and their families are safe, because living in a cave provides a different environment, which might contain animals that could transmit…disease,” said the local hospital. The boys and their family members have been told to watch for symptoms such as headache, nausea(反胃), muscle pain or difficulty breathing, the reports added.‎ Yet based on the location where the boys were trapped—more than four kilometers from the cave complex’s main entrance, past some fully submerged passages—and the fact they have been swimming out wearing full scuba face masks, it seems unlikely that they were living with bats in the cave or breathed in bat-associated bacteria during their rescue, several infectious disease experts said. “It’s hard to imagine bats got that deep into the cave because of all those narrow passageways, but it is possible,” says Ian Lipkin, an animal expert and professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. “It’s unlikely that there would be many animals in there,” notes Jonathan Epstein, a doctor at EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization that studies diseases and how to prevent them. Bats typically like to rest in areas they can easily enter and exit, not in places that fully flood, he adds.‎ Bats in Thailand have been linked with a wide range of viruses that are similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)—Lipkin says. But it seems more likely the boys would have been exposed to infection-causing bacteria when they swam through ‎ the dirty water with cuts and scrapes. “If you are trying to prioritize issues with respect to health care for these kids, number one would be psychological damage and second will be bacterial infections from the cuts and scrapes they may have encountered.” Lipkin says.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the potential symptom of the rescued team members?‎ A. Lacking body water. B. Adequate oxygen.‎ C. Unbalanced nutrition. D. Pain in the head and muscles.‎ ‎33. The underlined word “submerged” in paragraph 3 means ________.‎ A. under the water B. wild and dangerous C. with animals D. bat-associated ‎ ‎34. Which is true about the caves and the trapped people?‎ A. Jonathan Epstein thought it possible for the team members to be attacked by bats in the fully-flooded cave.‎ B. Lipkin argued bats were not able to get deep into the narrow cave where the kids were trapped.‎ C. Lipkin said the victims might be infected when their body were exposed to bacterial water during the rescue.‎ D. Lipkin believed the most important issue for the cave-trapped teenagers was infectious bacteria examination.‎ ‎35. What is the text type of the passage?‎ A. An academic essay about bats. B. A newspaper article. ‎ C. A medical magazine. D. A Thai website about sports.‎ 第二节（共5个小题；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。选许项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Stress occurs when you feel that demands placed on you — such as work, school or relationships — are beyond your ability. ___36___ However, untreated long-term stress can result in serious health conditions including anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, high blood pressure and a weakened immune system. ___37___ Everyone is different,‎ ‎ and so are the ways they choose to manage their stress. Some people prefer pursuing hobbies such as gardening, playing music and creating art, while others find relief in more solitary (独自的) activities: meditation, yoga and walking. ___38___‎ Do some exercise. The research keeps growing— exercise benefits your mind just as well as your body. We keep hearing about the long-term benefits of a regular exercise routine. But even a 20-minute walk, run, swim or dance session in the midst of a stressful time can give an immediate effect that can last for several hours.‎ ‎___39__ It may seem difficult to get away from a big work project, a crying baby or a growing credit card bill. But when you give yourself permission to step away from it, you let yourself have time to do something else, which can help you have a new perspective or practice techniques to feel less overwhelmed. It’s important not to avoid your stress (those bills have to be paid sometime), but even just 20 minutes to take care of yourself is helpful.‎ Smile and laugh. Our brains are interconnected with our emotions and facial expressions. When people are stressed, they often hold a lot of the stress in their face. So laughs or smiles can help relieve some of that tension and improve the situation.‎ Try meditation. Meditation and mindful prayer help the mind and body to relax and focus. Mindfulness can help people see new perspectives, develop self-compassion and forgiveness. __40___ Much like exercise, research has shown that even meditating briefly can bring immediate benefits.‎ A. When practicing mindfulness, people can release emotions contributing to the body physical stress.‎ B. But by finding positive, healthy ways, many of these negative health consequences can be reduced.‎ C. Too much stress can affect body systems and cause mental problems.‎ D. Take a break from the stressor.‎ E. Get some social support from whatever sources you can access.‎ F. Here are four healthy techniques that may help reduce stress in the short- and long-term.‎ G. Some stress can be beneficial at times, producing a boost that helps people get through tough situations.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ During the early 1980s, I was a sales manager for a large training company.

I was ___54___ and quickly agreed to buy the rest of my tickets myself. She stopped crying ___55___ and said, “When you want something, then you do ___56___ it takes to get the job done, even cry.” With a ___57___ she said, “I knew that crying would work with you, and for being so sad with your excuses, here are ten more books.” As a sales manager, I paled by ___58___. It ___59__ that my mother sold 7,000 tickets, 200 ahead of the second.‎ I learned a new level of distinction between ___60___ and results.

When I got the papers, I realized things could have been better if I listened to the teacher much more attentive.
