The following events are scheduled for the 2019/2020 academic year.‎ SuperStar workshops ‎12 workshops are planned for young people aged 7 to 11. These half-day visits will be held throughout the year, at times when young people are not at school. If participants complete 8 of the 12 workshops, they will be awarded the nationally recognized SuperStar Crest Award.‎ Please note, workshops will only run if we have a sufficient number of attendees (usually around 3+ participants).‎ Explore University Days Explore University Days are for young people aged 12-15. Participants visit the University for two days and take part in a variety of university-related workshops, and other fun activities．‎ Previous participants have joined in the following：‎ ‎• Visited the Sports Centre ‎• Took part in a Neuroscience workshop ‎• Enjoyed a two-course meal at a ‎University‎ ‎College Dates will be confirmed in early December 2019, and a schedule for event will follow in the New Year．‎ Events for post-16 students If you are studying for your post-16 qualifications and are considering applying for Cambridge or would like to find out more about a specific subject, the following events might be for you：‎ ‎• University and College Open Days ‎• Subject Masterclasses ‎• Cambridge Science Festival ‎21. What can the participants do in SuperStar workshops？‎ A. To stay only half a day． ‎ B. To get a gift．‎ C. To enjoy a free meal． ‎ D. To visit the Sports Centre．‎ ‎22. Which event is specially for applicants of Cambridge？‎ A. SuperStar workshops． ‎ B. The Neuroscience workshop．‎ C. Explore University Days． ‎ D. Events for post-16 students．‎ ‎23. The events in the passage most probably aim to　 　．‎ A. introduce some courses ‎ B. advertise ‎Cambridge‎ ‎University C. enrich students’ spare time life ‎ D. promote children’s interest in touring B I’ve come back to check on a baby. Just after dusk I’m in a car down a muddy road in the rain, past rows of shackled (戴镣的) elephants, their trunks swinging. I was here five hours before, when the sun was high and hot and tourists were on elephants’ backs.‎ Walking now, I can hardly see the path with my phone’s flashlight. When the wooden fence post stops me short, I point my light down and follow a current of rainwater across the floor until it washes up against three large, gray feet. A fourth foot twisted above the surface, tied tightly by a short chain and choked by ring of metal spikes (尖刺). When the elephant gets tired and puts her foot down, the spikes press deeper into her ankle.‎ Meena is four years and two months old, still a child as elephants go. Khammon Kongkhaw, her caretaker, told me earlier that Meena wears the spiked chain because she tends to kick. Kongkhaw has been responsible for Meena here at Maetaman Elephant Adventure, near Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand, since she was 11 months old. He said he keeps her on the spiked chain only during the day and takes it off at night. But it’ s night now.‎ I ask Jin Laoshen, the Maetaman worker, why her chain is still on. He says he doesn’t know.‎ Maetaman is one of many animal attractions in and around tourist-crowded Chiang Mai. Meena’s life is set to follow the same track as many of the roughly 3,800 captive (被捕获的) elephants in Thailand. When Meena is too old or sick to give rides—maybe at 55, maybe at 75, she’ll die. If she's lucky, she’ll get a few years of retirement. She'll spend most of her life on a chain.‎ ‎24. Why does the author decide to come back?‎ A. To check the baby elephant Meena.‎ B. To feed those shackled elephants.‎ C. To release those shackled elephants.‎ D. To help an injured worker in Maetaman.‎ ‎25. What can we conclude from the second paragraph?‎ A. The author is scared walking in the path.‎ B. Meena is treated badly and very painful C. Meena only has three healthy legs.‎ D. One of Meena’s leg is badly broken.‎ ‎26. What’s the author’s attitude towards those elephants?‎ A. Indifferent. ‎ B. Critical. ‎ C. Sympathetic. ‎ D. Negative.‎ ‎27. We can infer that the purpose of the author’s writing is______________.‎ A. to describe those elephants to attract tourists around the world B. to draw people’s attention to caring about the fate of those elephants C. to tell readers the story of a baby elephant in ‎Chiang Mai‎, ‎Thailand D. to tell the reason why the number of elephants is decreasing C In the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation (革新) in the way our food is grown. Plants will have a “voice”, not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc.‎ Take vertical (垂直的) farms, for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.‎ From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrients are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure it’s still fresh when it reaches its final destination.‎ Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.‎ Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world’s population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO2 output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.‎ ‎28. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. Voice machines help plants speak up.‎ B. Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.‎ C. IoT has brought great innovation to our future life.‎ D. Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.‎ ‎29. How do sensors attached to plants work?‎ A. By recording farmers harvesting crops.‎ B. By monitoring farmers working their fields.‎ C. By analyzing information to preserve crops.‎ D. By passing information on to a control system.‎ ‎30. According to Paragraph 4, the IoT system can help ________.‎ A. expand the output of crops           ‎ B. match supply with demand C. determine the needs of farmers       ‎ D. move restaurants onto farms ‎31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vertical farming?‎ A. Negative.        ‎ B. Reserved.        ‎ C. Optimistic.      ‎ D. Doubtful.‎ D Regardless of how far we’d like to believe gender (性别) equality in the workplace has come, there’s still a wide gap between male and female leaders in the professional world. A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.‎ While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.‎ ‎    In their research, Professor Oyvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric fields.‎ While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders — probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women — this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.‎ There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.‎ Obviously, it’s important to consider individual (个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. But next time you’re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes (简历) from female candidates a harder look.‎ ‎32. What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?‎ A. Women are worse than men. ‎ B. Men take almost all high positions. ‎ C. There is a huge gap between genders. ‎ D. Women may behave better in nearly every field.‎ ‎33. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “inherently” in Paragraph 4?‎ A. properly     ‎ B. instantly   ‎ C. naturally     ‎ D. normally ‎34. Which of the following may be the best title of this text?‎ A. How We Can Figure Out The Boss B. Why Women Are Better Than Men C. Why Women Make The Best Bosses D. How We Can Tell Gender Difference ‎35. Who might have special interest in this article?‎ A. Job hunters.  ‎ B. Employers.  ‎ C. Employees.  ‎ D. Male bosses.‎ 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。‎ Are you sometimes stressed? Singing is a simple and effective way to reduce stress. It is beneficial mainly in the following three aspects.‎ Physical Benefits ‎___36___ This is especially recommended for the elders and those who have some form of disability in their voice. However, it is important to find a capable instructor to employ good singing techniques so as not to further damage vocal cords (声带) or lungs.‎ Singing also helps to improve your posture (姿势). Most people think that singing begins and ends with their mouth.  37  Singing practice will get you used to the proper body position of standing and help you form the good habit of standing straight.‎ Emotional Benefits Singing helps in reducing your depression and lowering your stress level. When you sing, your body releases chemicals that make you feel happy, easing the tension and helping you to relax.  38 .‎ Social Benefits The social benefits of singing are huge.  39  So people who suffer from stage fright are advised to sing in front of family and friends before a live performance.‎ Singing is also very good for improving your communication skills. It is said that singing to babies helps to prepare their brains for language and may lessen the risk of language problems later in life.  40  The time spent in group singing, whether in a choir or at karaoke, creates a deep and lasting bond of friendship.‎ A. Try to regain your memory by singing.‎ B. First, it can help build up your confidence greatly.‎ C. When you sing, you can give your lungs a workout.‎ D Singing helps you to strengthen your immune system.‎ E. For adults, singing also enlarges your circle of friends.‎ F. In fact, the position of each body part affects your voice.‎ G. So, start to sing your favorite song next time you are feeling upset.‎ ‎ ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（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四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）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。‎ I was driving on the freeway when I noticed heavy clouds roll in.
