Reading comprehension ‎ Section A.‎ Directions: For each blank in the following passage, 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.‎ Courage is a quality we cherish. Yet only lately has it been studied systematically to try to 31 what it is and is not, where it comes from and why we love it so much. "Courage helps to define the excellent person, "write George Kateb, a political theorist at Princeton University. "One of the worst 32 in the world is to be called a coward, a quite timid person. "‎ For many people, courage is most 33 displayed in battle; for example, the brave soldier running into the line of fire to rescue the injured.‎ Yet George Kateb says that if courage finds its highest expression in war, then the trait (特征) becomes 34 , making killing noble by insisting that only in battle can people discover the 35 of their nobility. Thus, it makes killing a noble thing.‎ Stanley J Rachman of the University of British Columbia studies paratroopers( 伞 兵 ) preparing for their first jump. The work revealed three different groups: the fearless who jumped 36 ; the timid whose fear kept them from jumping; and finally, the ones who reacted 37 like the timid but acted like the fearless leaper, and jumped.‎ Rachman considered the final group courageous, defining courage as "a behavioral approach 38 the experience of fear". Thus, courage becomes the 39 of anyone who does something that he or she fears.‎ In interviewing 320 children aged from 8 to 13, Peter Muris of Erasmus University, Rotterdam, of the Netherlands and his colleagues found that children also consider courage as the 40 of one's fears; and more than 70% claimed they had performed brave acts, including stealing money from one's mother's purse.‎ Joel Berger, a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society in Montana, US, also distinguishes between animals that behave bravely 41 a lack of awareness and experience, and those that are aware of a danger but 42 anyway.‎ He recalled the time he and his colleagues had 43 a young bison ( 野 牛 ) to take blood samples. At that time, an adult male bison was standing guard, 44 to let the scientists approach. "He knew that he could be attacked by us," said Berger. "I'd call this a courageous, even 45 act.‎ ‎31.

For each of them there are 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 UPS driver Ryan Arens was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman, Montana, when he heard an unearthly sound. “Like a cry for help,” he told the Dodo. It was December 2018, and ‎ about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that cry—a half-submerged brown-and- white wirehaired hound, struggling to cling to a thin layer of ice. How she got there no one knows, but an elderly man was already on the scene, determined to save her. He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was riding away at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog. It was slow going, and Arens, 44, thought he stood a better chance.‎ ‎“Animals are my weakness,” he told the Great Falls Tribune, explaining why he stripped down to his boxers and socks, even though the temperature was below zero, and grabbed the rowboat.‎ His heart pounding, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave one strong heave too many and slipped off the boat, crashing into 16 feet of freezing water.‎ He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then gave the dog a boost into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner, a retired vet. Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both got warmed. A few more minutes in the pond, the vet told Arens, and she would have likely suffered cardiac arrest.‎ The next day, Arens was back working the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie. “Would you like to meet her?” he asked.‎ He opened the door to his truck, and Sadie rushed out. She made a beeline for Arens, leaping on him and bathing him in wet kisses. That special delivery, says Arens, “was the highlight of my UPS career.”‎ 46. On the way to rescue the dog, Arens faced following difficulties EXCEPT .‎ A. harsh weather B. chilly water C. frozen pond D. leaking boat 47. What can be concluded from paragraph one to two?‎ A. The reason why Arens risked saving the hound was that he was an animal lover.‎ B. Arens was to visit his grandma when he knew the hound was trapped in water.‎ C. Arens was the first to start to save the hound on that day.‎ D. Arens didn’t think he was more likely to save the hound.‎ 46. By telling Arens that she would have likely suffered cardiac arrest in paragraph four, the retired vet meant .‎ A. he should have reached the dog earlier.‎ B. he was very surprised at the dog’s ability of surviving.‎ C. Arens had done a really magnificent job in saving the dog in time.‎ D. the dog was in poor condition and needed sending to hospital at once.‎ 47. The purpose of the passage is to .‎ A. tell readers UPS drivers are able to save a dog from a frozen pond.‎ B. inspire readers to be a loving person like the UPS driver.‎ C. praise the UPS driver for his unconditional love for other people.‎ D. warn dog owners not to have their pets playing outside in cold winter.‎ B Take a city break in style – but still on a budget – at these hostels with great design (and decent grub) in Birmingham, Newcastle and London.‎ Selina, Birmingham What’s it like?‎ Photographs of a weekend spent at Selina’s newest UK branch, in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, were met with heart-eye emojis and “that hotel looks beautiful!” comments. The fact it’s a hostel – with affordable pet-friendly suite rooms (plus dorms), a yoga studio and a South American-style restaurant due to open in the summer – was something I feel delighted to share.‎ The maze of corridors leads to a range of dorms and private rooms. In the lounge-bar downstairs, there are activities including drink-and-draw sessions with Cass Arts. On upper floors is a shared kitchen, living-dining area, cinema room and yoga-and-wellness studio.‎ What about breakfast and dinner?‎ The restaurant is due to open in the summer, serving breakfast followed by an all-day menu. Currently, a simple breakfast is included (toast, cereal, juice and hot drinks). The bar serves cocktails, wine and beer all day.‎ Newcastle Central YHA Hostel What’s it like?‎ Opened in October 2019 – after a restoration of a hostel acquired by the YHA – Newcastle Central is part of the hosteling association’s move into city centres. On the site of a prison, the hostel is in part of the city’s former telephone exchange, built in 1932.‎ The ground floor is mostly taken up with a cafe. My private room was on the cozy side and dominated by a huge flat-screen television but was cozily warm – very welcome since it was freezing outside. There was enough space for a double bed, a small desk and a couple of wireless phone-charging shelves. Clothes storage amounted to hangers on the wall.‎ What about breakfast and dinner?‎ Unlike many YHA hostels, there’s no kitchen for guests to cook their own meals. It is possible to bring cooked food in and staff are happy to supply crockery and cutlery. Breakfast is what you might expect in a hostel: a buffet of cereal, yoghurt (dairy and soya), toast, ham and cheese, and hot drinks and juices. The all-day menu features standard dishes, such as stone-baked pizzas, jacket potatoes, and burgers.‎ PubLove at the Rose and Crown, London Bridge What’s it like?‎ The decline of the British pub is well documented but closures have slowed in the last few years, thanks to local campaigns, communities fighting back – and projects such as PubLove helping revive the scene. Since 2007, the company has been renewing pubs around London, modernising while keeping character, and adding hostel rooms to the underused upper floors.‎ A popular spot on a quiet corner near London Bridge, The Rose & Crown on Union Street opened in June 2019. It’s a mixture of modern bunk dorms with shared bathrooms. The common room is the bustling pub itself. It had a great atmosphere on a Thursday night.‎ What about breakfast and dinner?‎ Brunch is served 9am-6pm – with options from toast with spreads (£2) to full veggie breakfast (£9). Noon to 10pm, there are also burgers (from £10) – including vegan ones – and loaded fries (from £5.50). The bar is available 24/7 for guests.‎ 46. Which of the following descriptions about the hostels is not true?‎ A. The Selina in Birmingham doesn’t seem like a typical hostel.‎ B. The YHA in Newcastle is located in the downtown area which was used to hold prisoners.‎ A. Located in a noiseless place, the Rose & Crown provides a lively and exciting atmosphere inside.‎ B. The rooms in YHA Newcastle are all very large with huge flat-screen televisions.‎ 47. What distinguishes Newcastle Central YHA Hostel from other hostels in the passage?‎ A. The breakfast there is quite different from the one in other hostels.‎ B. A kitchen can be found there for guests to cook and socialize.‎ C. Tableware is provided for guests to eat cooked food there.‎ D. Only in Newcastle Central YHA Hostel are burgers served.‎ 48. Which tourist is most likely to choose Rose and Crown when visiting Britain?‎ A. A 22-year-old graduate, who enjoys posting selfies on WeChat Moments.‎ B. A 20-year-old college student, who majors in British history and is quite sociable.‎ C. A 40-year-old man, who’s a vegetarian and an enthusiast for cooking.‎ D. A 30-year-old lady, who favors living in newly-opened hostels with modern furnishings.‎ C The average British person will have emitted more carbon dioxide in the first two weeks of this year than a citizen of any one of African nations does in an entire year.‎ This is the key finding of an Oxfam project, published on Sunday, which discovered that someone in the UK will take just five days to produce the same carbon as someone in Rwanda does in a year. The study revealed that annual emissions of carbon dioxide, per head of population, is 0.09 tonnes in Rwanda, 0.19 in Malawi and 0.25 in Burkina Faso. These figures compare with a global average of 4.7 tonnes per person per year. In Britain the figure is 8.3.‎ Danny Sriskandarajah, the chief executive of Oxfam GB, described the scale of global inequality revealed by the study as confounding. “It’s a shock to realise that in just a few days our high-carbon lifestyles here in the UK produce the same emissions as the annual footprint of people in some poor countries. However, the encouraging thing is the willingness of the British public to take action.”‎ This view is supported by the results of a YouGov poll, carried out for Oxfam and also published on Sunday. The poll found that 55% of Britons say they worry about the impact of global heating and as many as 79% said they were likely to take one of a number of actions to reduce their carbon footprint. Responses ranged from 79% of people who said they were likely to ‎ recycle more, down to 38% who were likely to change their diet, such as by eating less meat or dairy. More than two-thirds said they were likely to use energy-efficient products, and almost half to limit their air travel or buy second-hand products.‎ ‎“Just as large numbers of the public are resolving to reduce their carbon footprint, we need a bold new year’s resolution from the prime minister to get us on track to net-zero emissions much earlier than the current 2050 deadline,” added Sriskandarajah. “As the UK government gets ready to host global climate talks later this year, it needs to show that it is deadly serious about leading the fight against climate change.”‎ 46. Which of the following statements best describes the key finding of an Oxfam project?‎ A. An average Briton produces more carbon dioxide in 14 days than anyone in Africa in a year.‎ B. Britons emit five times the carbon dioxide in a year than those in African countries.‎ C. Britons produce almost twice carbon dioxide annually than the global average.‎ D. People in Rwanda emit the least carbon dioxide in the world.‎ 47. The underlined word “confounding” in paragraph three most probably means .‎ A. frightening B. amazing C. astonishing D. awful 48. Which of the following ideas will Danny Sriskandarajah agree with?‎ A. It’s the prime minister who should take the responsibility to reduce carbon footprint.‎ B. Although Britons emit so much carbon dioxide, they are ready to make a change.‎ C. The UK must fight against climate change because it will host the global climate talks.‎ D. The results of a YouGov poll show that Britons adopt a high-carbon lifestyle.‎ 49. The best title for this passage is .‎ A. Britain: Determined to get rid of its high-carbon lifestyles.‎ B. Britain: The largest emission country of carbon dioxide.‎ C. Britain: A country with high-carbon lifestyles.‎ D. Britain: A leading force in fighting against climate change.‎ Section C.‎ Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ A. This discovery means bees are adapting to a changing world B. Bees are playing a vital role in saving the world C. The company works with researchers to figure out how to recreate the material in a cost- effective way D. It could change the future of our oceans and diminish pollution worldwide E. The company has discovered many others bees which are able to produce similar materials F. When it comes to plastic waste, bees could assist in two ways How Ordinary Beehives Could Reverse Our Plastic Waste Disaster Bees support life in so many ways, from helping farmers grow your favorite fruit to pollinating (授粉) feed crops for the cows that provide you with milk, cheese, and meat.‎ ‎ 57 . First, scientists have noticed that some bees produce a substance that feels similar to plastic. Imagine a natural, non-toxic plastic alternative coating your fast-food packaging. 58 . Second, some bees have begun using waste plastics in their nests. This instinctual reusing and recycling could help clean up urban areas that are already dealing with heavy plastic pollution.‎ A few years ago, scientist Veronica Harwood-Stevenson went on the hunt for a natural alternative to plastic. She found the Australian Hylaeus nubilosus masked bee. These bees create nesting material that is “non-toxic, waterproof, flame-resistant, and able to withstand heat.” Harwood-Stevenson founded a company called Humble Bee to reverse-engineer this natural plastic. 59 .‎ At her TEDx talk in November 2019, Harwood-Stevenson said, “We hope that one day soon our product will be used to safely coat the fabrics of your clothes and the furniture that you sit on.”‎ Last year, Smithsonian Magazine was filled with news that bees were using plastics as nesting materials. 60 . But it could also mean that bees, whose populations are already shrinking, are putting themselves in harm’s way. “Microplastics are known to threaten a wide array of marine animals, even those that don’t swallow the plastics directly,” the article reported.‎ 第二卷 Translation. ‎ 1. 只有 1300 名观众能有幸出席颁奖典礼后的古典音乐会。(award; follow)‎ 2. 一对夫妻在坍塌的大楼里被困 48 小时后获得了消防队员的营救。(rescue n.)‎ 1. 像他这样没有责任感的明星能够声名鹊起真是让我感到失望。(reputation)‎ 2. 上海音乐厅是如此重要的一座历史建筑，值得我们努力去恢复它的生气。(Such…that 使用倒装结构)‎ 3. 教室外装修的噪音淹没了老师的讲话，同学们不得不把窗和门关得牢牢的。(force)‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ I.
