Many of the homes are now holiday accommodations, linked by paths and walkways rather than streets. The Royal Hotel, at the heart of the village, offers homemade cakes and coffee alongside a simple but tasty bar menu and local Black Sheep bitter on draft. ‎ Stay in Castle House (sleeps six, three nights from £500) at the top of the village; has sweeping views of the bay from a comfortable window seat.‎ South‎ Shore, Brownsea Island, ‎Dorset Reached by ferry from the moneyed shores of Sandbanks, Brownsea Island is a pocket of safe wilderness in Poole harbour. Famous for its red squirrel population and as the site of Baden-Powell’s first Scout camp, its mixture of woodland, wildland, and ponds suits a day of exploration and adventure. Push yourself into the sandy banks and enjoy views across the harbour in the company of various sea birds. ‎ Stay in National Trust-owned Custom House on the seaport (sleeps four, three nights from £622); offers a real Brownsea experience.‎ Kingsgate‎ Bay, ‎Broadstairs‎, ‎Kent The lack of a convenient car park means that Kingsgate Bay, between Margate and Broadstairs, is quieter than other beaches on the Thanet coast. A short walk from the car park at neighboring Joss‎ ‎Bay (popular with surfers), however, will take you to this sheltered sandy bay with its sea caves. It is also a safe place to swim and canoe. ‎ Stay in the Botany Bay Hotel (family rooms from £80 B&B); has some dog-friendly rooms.‎ ‎21. Which of the following suits you most if you are an animal lover?‎ A. Joss‎ ‎Bay. B. Kingsgate‎ ‎Bay. C. South‎ ‎Shore. D. Runswick Bay.‎ ‎22. What can we learn from the passage? ‎ ‎ A. Runswick Bay can be accessible by ferry.‎ ‎ B. Your pet dogs are admitted into the Botany Bay Hotel.‎ ‎ C. There are lots of convenient car parks for visitors at Kingsgate Bay. ‎ ‎ D. You can enjoy homemade cakes during your stay in the Botany Bay Hotel.‎ ‎23. What kind of people is the text mainly written for?‎ A. Scientists. B. Students. C. Tourists. D. Artists.‎ B The ability to predict the future is a rare talent. American author Isaac Asimov, one of the greatest science-fiction writers of his age, had such a talent. Back in 1983, he was asked to predict how the world would look like in 2019. Now that we’re here, let’s see what he got right. ‎ On the role that computing would play in the future, he was amazingly accurate. Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Specifically, he said that “mobile computerized objects” would be an important part of everyday life. Here, he clearly foresaw our world of smartphones, tablets and other devices. He also had a great deal to say about space exploration. The International Space Station proves his prediction that we would not simply visit space but seek to stay there.‎ How did Asimov develop his special sense of future developments? As a precocious boy, Asimov taught himself to read at the age of five. He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents’ candy store. His scientific interests gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry, but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead, he thought hard about the social significance of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public. As an author, his books would feature the theme of social change caused by technology.‎ Asimov had his finger on the pulse of both scientific and social change. He had a clear sight of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series.‎ ‎“His predictions are absolutely fascinating,” Calum Chase, an English writer, told BBC News. “He was a genius.”‎ ‎24. Which of the following has Asimov made a prediction about?‎ ‎①computers ②environment ③tablets ④space ‎⑤pollution ⑥smartphones A. ②⑤⑥ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①⑤⑥‎ ‎25. What do we know about Asimov?‎ ‎ A. Asimov had great interest in pure lab science. ‎ ‎ B. Asimov kept pace with scientific and social change.‎ ‎ C. Asimov cared less about the social significance of science. ‎ ‎ D. Asimov would read in his neighbor’s candy store in his childhood.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word “precocious” in the third paragraph probably mean?‎ A. Talented. B. Naughty. C. Considerate. D. Optimistic.‎ ‎27. What will be the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. The Focus on Social Change ‎ B. A Great Science-fiction Writer ‎ C. The Ability to Predict the Future ‎ ‎ D. The Man Who Could See the Future C We tend to believe that older people are more positive and younger people are more sensitive to social cues（暗示）.‎ Recently scientists investigated this idea by testing 10,000 men and women. They wanted to see if age affected a person’s ability to identify subtle facial emotions, such as fear and anger.‎ The researchers used a Web-based platform to collect data. It showed the participants two headshots of random people. They were then asked to identify which subject was angrier, happier, or more fearful. The research found that younger people were able to better identify angry and fearful facial cues than older people.‎ ‎“We know from studies that the everyday experiences of an adolescent are different from an older person, but we wanted to understand how these experiences might be linked with differences in basic emotion understanding,” wrote Laura Germine, the study’s senior author.‎ But what is it that makes young people more sensitive?‎ ‎“This is the exact age when young people are most sensitive to forms of negative social cues, such as bullying（欺凌）,” Lauren Rutter, the study’s lead author, told Science Daily. “The normal development of anger sensitivity can contribute to some of the challenges that arise during this stage of development.”‎ On the contrary, across the whole 10,000-person survey, researchers found no decrease in the sense of happiness among older participants and these findings fit well with other researches, showing that older adults tend to have more positive emotions.‎ Now, the team is working toward a new study that examines how emotional sensitivity is related to different aspects of mental health, such as anxiety and depression.‎ ‎28. What can we know from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Older people are more allergic to social cues.‎ ‎ B. The researchers gained data from the Internet.‎ ‎ C. Older people are less likely to identify happiness in the research.‎ ‎ D. Adolescents’ sensitivity to negative social cues does harm to their development. ‎ ‎29. How was the research carried out?‎ ‎ A. By assuming and analyzing.‎ ‎ B. By questioning and tracing.‎ ‎ C. By reasoning and concluding.‎ ‎ D. By surveying and collecting statistics.‎ ‎30. What section of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from?‎ A. Technology. B. Investigations. C. Education. D. Lifestyle.‎ ‎31. What is the team planning to find out next?‎ ‎ A. The relationship between emotions and experiences.‎ ‎ B. The emotional differences between the young and the old.‎ ‎ C. The connection between sensitivity of emotions and mental health.‎ ‎ D. The different responses to social cues between the young and the old.‎ D This may sound like a joke about a lazy person’s dream job: Earn big money by staying in bed and watching TV. But this is really happening, and it’s a project of NASA, which is called Artificial Gravity Bed Rest Study.‎ Scientists are seeking 12 women to spend two full months in bed in the fall at a German lab, plus an additional month there for preparation and recovery. The first group of 12 test subjects, all men, already have started the study. Each participant will receive a reward of about $18,500.‎ The researchers are studying how the body adapts to weightlessness in space, which will help astronauts in future missions. Apparently being in bed for a long time is similar enough to being in gravity-less space.‎ Study subjects will spend the 60 days with their heads tilted（倾斜）down six degrees, much like conditions in space. Without gravity sending blood to the legs, astronauts’ heads are filled with fluids, resulting in “puffy-head, bird-legs” syndrome, according to the NASA website. Researchers will study how the shifts in fluid affect participants’ bodies, as well as possible bone and muscle loss.‎ Participants are encouraged to pass the time by watching TV, reading or doing any other activities while lying down alone in bed to overcome the extreme boredom.‎ Participants also need to be nonsmokers between ages 24 and 55, in good health, with normal body weight. During the study, they will spend 30 minutes a day in what is called a “short-arm human centrifuge（离心机）”, which produces artificial gravity and distributes fluids from the head back into the body.‎ If interested in the project, you can apply and click here.‎ ‎32. What do we know about the project of NASA?‎ ‎ A. It will cost $‎18,500 in all. ‎ ‎ B. It is carried out in America. ‎ ‎ C. It is now seeking 12 men test subjects.‎ ‎ D. It takes subjects three months to be in the project. ‎ ‎33. Which of the following statements is TURE?‎ ‎ A. All the participants will be tested in space.‎ ‎ B. The research is of little use to astronauts in future missions.‎ ‎ C. Participants being tested are required to be fully concentrated.‎ ‎ D. Shifts in fluid together with bone and muscle loss will be studied.‎ ‎34. Who is the most likely to be accepted as a participant in the project?‎ ‎ A. Kate, a teacher, obese. ‎ ‎ B. Jack, a teenager, healthy.‎ ‎ C. Mary, in her thirties, athletic.‎ ‎ D. Tom, a heavy smoker, knowledgeable.‎ ‎35. What is the passage intended to do?‎ ‎ A. To study “puffy-head, bird-legs” syndrome.‎ ‎ B. To introduce a project of NASA to readers.‎ ‎ C. To persuade women to participate in the project.‎ ‎ D. To inform readers of the principles of centrifuge.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Eleanor Roosevelt, one of the most successful, influential and beloved women in American history, once said that she had one regret: she wished she had been prettier. Who hasn’t felt the same way? 36 To overcome them, we spend billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion and so on.‎ ‎ Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it, beauty has great influence on us. 37 ‎ Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” 38 We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that it is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author. ‎ ‎ Our sensitivity to physical beauty is not something we can control at will. 39 Experiments conducted by psychologist Judith J. Langlois showed that even small babies prefer to look at attractive faces. Before they have met a single super model, before they have watched a single TV show, before they have opened up a single fashion magazine, they are drawn to the same faces which adults have judged to be attractive.‎ ‎ 40 Just as Nancy Etcoff says, “We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it.” If you aim to be wise and kind and funny, it doesn’t mean that you can’t also try your best to look beautiful. There’s no reason to feel guilty about being moved by beauty’s power. It moves us all.‎ A. We are born with it.‎ B. It’s not fair, but it’s true. ‎ C. There is simply no escape.‎ D. It actually does not make any sense.‎ E. We are all proud of our achievements.‎ F. We are all too aware of our physical imperfections.‎ G. However, there are more important things in life than beauty.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（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。‎ ‎ My name is Margaret, and my story begins from here. I was born in a poor family. While ‎ 41 up, I saw my parents doing what they could for me and my brother. They tried to 42 all our wishes without buying anything for themselves. The small amount of money they 43 , they put it all in our childhood to ensure we don’t feel 44 than other kids around us. I decided to focus on my 45 and give my parents a better life, a life that they 46 for all the hard work they have done.‎ ‎ Eventually, I finished my graduation and got 47 into a leading firm. In the process of realizing my 48 , I became a workaholic, taking my body and my health for granted. Soon I was mentally 49 . I was diagnosed with G.B.S, a rare disease which caused paralysis of my whole body. My breathing was becoming more and more 50 for me while I was in the ICU. I was in the hospital for 2 months on life 51 , during which time I had survived some near 52 experiences. There is no cure for this disease apart from regaining muscle strength and 53 back the erased muscle memory. I had two 54 at that time: first was to give up and 55 that I will never be myself again and the other was to keep 56 . I chose to be my own miracle. I practised anything that could help me go back to work 57 having any caretakers around. Finally after two years of hard work, I was 58 to go to work again. Now whenever I see those who are always working and 59 seem to stop, I tell them, “You are lucky and it’s a blessing!” ‎ This 60 has given me a life lesson: It’s the door you choose that will decide whether you will fly or live your life in a cage.‎ ‎41.
