Mine 36 It was at a garden party for the ACLU. I was 37 my grandmother to the event. When Robert Downey arrived, in a gorgeous cream-colored suit, my grandmother shrugged, far more interested in 38 her paper plate with cheese. He wasn't Cary Grant or Gregory Peck. What did she 39 ?‎ After the speeches 40 with thanks, we stood up to make our exit. But as she rose, my grandmother 41 and fell into the wheelchair ramp (坡道) that provided the disabled with 42 to the stage. The wheelchair ramps had 43 edges, which sliced her leg right open.

The old continent's historic cities and its Mediterranean beaches draw many of its visitors, but the best destinations are sometimes its more remote cormers,‎ 8‎ known mainly to locals and a few brave travelers.‎ Lake Inari, Finland High above the Arctic Circle and close to Finland's border with Russia, Lake Inari is a year round paradise. Dark, snowy winters make it ideal for catching a glimpse of the aurora borealis.‎ Its tree-lined banks glow a burnt orange during autumn and in summer, you can swim in its chilly shallows. The center of local Sami culture, it's as remote and traditional as Finland gets.‎ Unst, Shetland Isles, Scotland The most northerly occupied island of the British Iles, Unst is a wild, rugged place where seas crash into the dramatic Muckle Flugga sea stacks.‎ The later are a harbor for gannets (塘鵒) during breeding season, with birdwatchers also treated to the sight of searching skuas (贼鸥).‎ Yorkshire Dales, England Its narrow lanes lined with drystone walls cry out to cyclists seeking marvelous adventures while its moody hill continually attract walkers, no matter the weather Geological wonders such as the limestone spectacles of Malham Cove and Gordale Scar make it perhaps the most beautiful part of the British Isles Loire Valley, France Chateau de Chambord and Chateau de Chenonceau are the most famous, filled with classic viewing towers, formal gardens and boating lakes.‎ Throw in a tour of its graperies, where some of the world's finest wines are produced, and its glamour is impossible to ignore.‎ ‎56. According to the passage, the best destinations in Europe are _____.‎ A. historic cities and Mediterranean beaches B. known to people around the world C. familiar to only a handful of people D. similar to each other with no obvious differences ‎57. If you are a cyclist interested in adventures, you'd better choose ______.‎ A. Unst, Shetland Isles, Scotland B. Yorkshire Dales, England C. Loire Valley. France D. Lake Inari, Finland B A widely-used gas that is currently produced from fossil fuels can instead be made by an artificial leaf that uses only sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and which could eventually be used to develop a sustainable liquid fuel alternative to petrol.‎ The carbon-neutral (碳中和) device sets a new standard in the field of solar fuels, after researchers at the University of Cambridge demonstrated that it can directly produce the gas---called syngas (合成 气) ---in a sustainable and simple way.‎ Rather than running on fossil fuels, the artificial leaf is powered by sunlight, although it still works efficiently on cloudy and overcast days. And unlike the current industrial processes for producing syngas, the leaf does not release any additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The results are reported in the journal Nature Materials.‎ Syngas is currently made from a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide (-氧化碳)， and is used to produce a range of products, such as fuels, medicines, plastics and fertilizers:‎ ‎“You may not have heard of syngas itself but every day, you consume products that were created using it. Being able to produce it sustainably would be a critical step in closing the global carbon cycle and establishing a sustainable chemical and fuel industry," said senior author Professor Erwin Reisner from Cambridge's Department of Chemistry, who has spent seven years working towards this goal.‎ The device Reisner and his colleagues produced is inspired by photosynthesis--- the natural process by which plants use the energy from sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into food.‎ 8‎ On the artificial leaf, two light absorbers, similar to the molecules in plants that harvest sunlight,‎ are combined with a catalyst (催化剂) made from the naturally abundant element cobalt (钴).‎ When the device is dipped in water, one light absorber uses the catalyst to produce oxygen: The other carries out the chemical reaction that reduces carbon dioxide and water into carbon monoxide and hydrogen, forming the syngas mixture.‎ As an added bonus, the researchers discovered that their light absorbers work even under the low levels of sunlight on a rainy or overcast day.‎ ‎"This means you are not limited to using this technology just in warm countries or only operating The process during the summer months,” said PhD student Virgil Andrei, first author of the paper. “You could use it from dawn until dusk. anywhere n the world."‎ ‎58. With the artificial leaf, we can _____.‎ A. produce syngas in a sustainable and simple way B. prevent carbon dioxide from being release into the atmosphere C. make products like medicines, plastics and fertilizers out of fossil fuels D. harvest abundant sunlight through petrol and close he global carbon cycle ‎59. For the syngas mixture to be formed, we might as well _____.‎ A. get rid of one light absorber B. block the contact with sunlight C. provide a special catalyst D. keep the artificial leaf far away from water ‎60. What can we learn from what PhD student Virgil Andrei said?‎ A. Syngas has already been in widespread use around the world.‎ B. The artificial leaf is powered by fossil fuels rather than sunlight.‎ C. The artificial leaf doesn't depend too much on the weather or location.‎ D. Syngas is currently made from a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.‎ C For some people, higher education is not just a goal in life, but also an expectation. In the United States, if your parents attended a college or university, there is a good chance that you will, too. Even if your parents did not go to college, you still have a good chance of completing higher education if your family is wealthy.‎ But your chances are reduced if you come from a needy family, a community with limited educational resources or you simply have no one to follow as an example.‎ Helping those in need is one of the main ideas behind a strategy of behavioral science called nudge theory or nudging. Nudging is a way of changing people's behavior through indirect suggestion and by supporting positive actions.‎ A growing number of U.S. colleges and universities look to nudging as way to support poor,‎ minority and first-generation students, They also are using it to increase overall graduation rates. Two common forms of nudging are emails to students and text messages to their mobile phones. Schools and other educational organizations keep in contact with students this way, offering advice and help when needed.‎ However, Alejandra Acosta---a higher education policy expert at New America一notes that there are several qualities a nudge campaign must possess in order to be successful.‎ Acosta says messages must be timely, meaning they reach college students well before the date by which a student is required to take action. Additionally nudges should be written clearly and provide as much information as possible. If students start to struggle in class, school officials should not just message them, saying they should seek academic support. The message should give information about what kinds of support the college or university offers and exactly how the student can make use of them.‎ That is why nudges should possess interactive qualities, Acosta says. For example, students should be 8‎ able to ask questions of school officials or be directed to a website for more information. In addition,‎ colleges and universities must ensure their support services are in place and working as best they can.‎ When nudges work, they can do a lot of good. In 2018, a nonprofit group launched a nudging campaign at four U.S. community colleges. They worked with nearly 10.000 first-year students at three such colleges in Ohio and one in Virginia. A recent study found that older and minority students who agreed to receive these nudges were 16 to 20 percent more likely to continue into their second year than those who did not.‎ ‎61. Who is most likely to receive and complete higher education according to the passage?‎ A. Tony, whose father is the only bread-winner in the family.‎ B. Jimmy, whose mother is a worker in a small factory.‎ C. Betty, whose grandmother is a housemaid of a famous university professor.‎ D. Cathy, whose parents failed to attend college but succeeded in starting a big company.‎ ‎62. What can we know about nudging?‎ A. It is anchored in psychological science. B. It is a way to improve people s mind.‎ C. It offers concrete and direct advice. D. It helps students via emails and text messages.‎ ‎63. Which adjectives can be used to describe ideal message qualities of nudging?‎ A. Timely, practical and interactive. B. Timely, interactive and sustainable.‎ C. Immediate, authentic and consistent. D. Immediate, interactive and permanent ‎64. What is the passage mainly talking about?‎ A. The problem with higher education. B. A way for colleges to support students.‎ C. The popularity of nudging campaign. D. A national campaign dealing with poverty.‎ D Liu, the farmer, sat at the door of his one-room house. It was a warm evening in late February, and in his thin body he felt the coming of spring How he knew that the time had now come when life began to move in the soil? He could not have told himself. Most of all, in any other year than this he might have pointed to his wheat fields where he panted wheat in the winter when he land was not needed for rice and where, when spring was moving into summer, he pated the good rice for rice was his chief crop. Bu the land told nothing his year. There was no wheat on it, for the flood had covered it long ‎ after wheat should have been planted, and it lay there cracked and like clay but newly dried.‎ Well, on such a day as this, if he had his buffalo (水牛) and his plow (犁) as he had always had in other years, he would have gone out and plowed up that cracked soil. He ached to plow it up and make it look like a field again, yes, even though he had not so much as one seed to put in it. But he had no buffalo. If anyone had told him that he would eat his own water buffalo that plowed the good land to ‎ him; he would have called that man idiot. Yet it was what he had done. He had eaten his own water buffalo, he and his wife and his parents and his four children, they had all eaten the buffalo together.‎ But what else could they do on that dark winter ’s day when the last of their store of grain was gone,‎ when the trees were cut and sold, when he had sold everything, even the little they had saved from the flood, and there was nothing left except the shabby house they had and the worm clothes they wore? Was there sense in removing the coat from one's back to feed one's belly? On that day when he had seen the faces of his old parents set as though dead, on that day when he had heard the crying of his children and seen his little daughter dying. such a despair had seized him as made him like a man without his reason,‎ so that he had gathered all his strength and he had done what he said he never would; he had taken the kitchen knife and gone out and killed his own beast. When he did it, even in his despair, he screamed,‎ for it was as though he killed his own brother. To him it was the last sacrifice.‎ ‎___(68)__ It would have taken them all except that in the great pools lying everywhere, which were left from the flood, there were shrimps (小虾), and these they had eaten raw and were still eating,‎ 8‎ although they were all sick and would not get well. In the last day or so his wife had crawled out and dug a few weeds. But there was no fuel and so they also were eaten raw. But the bitterness was good after the tasteless flesh of the raw shrimps. Yes, spring was coming.‎ He sat on heavily, looking out over his land. If he had his buffalo back, if he had his plow that they had burned for fuel. But now he was comforted by nothing.‎ And he looked, hopeless, into the barren (贫瘠的) spring.‎ ‎65. Why didn't Liu know the coming of spring according to Paragraph 1?‎ A. Because he was too old and weak. B. Because the rice failed to come up.‎ C. Because the barren field told nothing. D. Because the flood was still in progress.‎ ‎66. The underlined word "idiot" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___‎ A. hero B. fool C. genius D. idol ‎67. What can be inferred from Paragraphs 2 and 3?‎ A. The hard work of ploughing the cracked soil ached Liu B. The crying and dying families added to Liu's economic burden.‎ C. Liu removed his coat to feed his belly but found it useless.‎ D. Killing the buffalo for food was the last thing that Liu would do.‎ ‎68. Which of the following sentences best suits the blank in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Yet. It was not enough.‎ B. Well, that was sorrow for a man.‎ C. That was what the winter's famine had taken from them.'‎ D. That sacrifice made him realize the only comfort lent was to die on their own land.‎ ‎69.

Barren Spring B. Desperate Farmers C. Terrible Flood D. Horrible Famine 第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ Artificial intelligence in business Lie detectors are not widely used in business, but Ping An, a Chinese insurance company, thinks it Is a great tool. The company lets customers apply for loans through is app Potential borrowers answer questions about their income and plans for repayment by video, which monitors around 50 tiny facial expressions to determine whether they are telling the truth. The program, enabled by artificial intelligence (AI), helps identify customers who require further check.‎ Instead of relying on rough estimates, cleverer and speedier AI-powered predictions promise to improve the efficiency in business. Leroy Merlin, a French home-improvement retailer (零售商)，now uses AI to take in past sales data and other information that could affect sales, such as weather forecasts,‎ in order to stock shelves more effectively. That has helped it reduce its inventory (存货总信) by 8% even as sales have risen by 2%.‎ Until now AI has been beneficial mainly to the technology department. Most of today’s leading tech firms, such as Google and Amazon in the West and Alibaba and Baidu in China, would not be as big and successful without AI for product recommendations," targeted advertising and forecasting demand. ‎ The path ahead is exciting but dangerous. Around 85% of companies think AI will offer a competitive advantage, but only one in 20 is “extensively" employing it today. One difficult issue for companies will be timing. Companies are struggling to figure out what to spend money on If they invest huge sums in AI early on, they run the risk of overcommitting themselves or paying large amounts for worthless startups. But if they wait too long, they may leave themselves open to destruction 8‎ from upstarts, as well as from competitors.‎ Some may have been misled by enthusiastic media reports, believing Al to be a magic stick that can be installed as easily as a piece of Microsoft software, says Gautam Schroff Tata Consultancy.‎ Services, an Indian firm.‎ Bosses of non-tech companies in a broad range of industries are starting to worry that AI could affect or even destroy them, and have been buying up promising young tech firms to ensure they do not fall behind.‎ A longer-term concern is the way AI creates a virtuous circle (良性循环) or“flywheel" effect,‎ allowing companies that embrace it to operate more efficiently, produce more data, improve their services, attract more customers and offer lower prices. That sounds like a good thing, but it could also lead to more monopoly (垄断) power.‎ Artificial intelligence in business The(71) _ ▲ of AI in some businesses ‎● Al is employed by Ping An to find out(72) ▲ _who are potential borrowers by monitoring around 50 tiny facial expressions.‎ ‎● With cleverer and speedier AI-powered programs, a French home- improvement retailer makes his business more (73) ▲ based on past sales data and other information, such as weather forecasts.‎ ‎● Leading tech firms, such as Google and Amazon,(74) ▲ their success to AI, which helps them with product recommendations,‎ targeted advertising and forecasting demand.‎ ‎(75) ▲ A for only 5% of companies employing AI widely.‎ ‎● It is quite difficult for companies to grasp the proper opportunity as they ‎ need to(76) ▲ the benefits against the risks.‎ ‎● Misinformation leads many companies to believe that they can have easy ‎ (77) ▲ to AI.‎ ‎(78) ▲ non-tech companies hold towards AI ‎● Non-tech companies are afraid of the (79) ▲ AI poses to them ‎ ‎● However, they view the purchase of promising young tech firms as a ‎(80) ▲ of its leading position.‎ Conclusion AI is to create a virtuous circle for companies as long as it deals with its monopoly problem.‎ 第五部分书面表达(满分25分)‎ The film Better Days is bringing attention to school bullying (欺凌). It's a topic that few Chinese movies have talked about before.‎ The movie is adapted from the Web novel Young and Beautiful. It tells the story of a high school student Chen Nian, who is bullied on campus and later gets caught up in a murder case. The movie,‎ starring Zhou Dongyu and Jackson Yee, was a hit, bringing new attention to real-life bullying.‎ Since last year, China has approved the detention (批准建梢) of 3,407 students for bullying and charged 5750, according to the data provided by the Supreme People's Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) in May.‎ However, it is not easy to solve this problem. As Chinese sociologist Li Yinbe wrote on Sina Weibo,‎ the movie shows how complex social situations can be for teenagers. Schools, teachers, parents, police and the government must work together to end bullying.‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1.用约30词概括上文主要内容:‎ ‎2.用约120词发表你的观点，内容包括:‎ ‎(1)校园欺凌的危害(至少两点) :‎ 8‎ ‎(2) 你对改变这一现象的建议(至少两点)。‎ 8‎
