It looked like a great experience -hanging out with friends,going to parties,and 2 the good times together.When I entered high school,however,I started learning the real value of college----to get a good education and a well-paid job.Therefore,with a passion for success in life,I expressed my 3 about going university to my parents.They were first 4 that I'd chosen the path,but later were disappointed because they couldn't 5 the cost.Upset and stressed,I started looking for 6 to pay myself.

As a child I often got angry if I 4 something I couldn't do because of my eyes. But over time I learned there's no point getting upset by the fact I can't see, because it won't 5 it.

People are usually 8 when discovering that I could not only climb, but also lead climbs.
At university I 9 the Mountaineering Club and climbed much more frequently. We had regular trips to indoor walls and weekends away outdoors. I developed a great circle of climbing 10 and went on multiple trips to Europe.
There was a time when I thought I might have to give up leading as my eyesight got worse. 11 , I never thought I would stop climbing.

6.Acts of kindness are wonderful in so many ways. They 1 the recipient and they're also a great reminder of all the 2 acts that are taking place in the world. With the media full of COVID-19-related 3 , these selfless acts are increasingly important. This was just the case when Steve Farmer shared a recent uplifting event on his Facebook page that 4 him.
Farmer posted how he'd gone to work after the quarantine(隔离)was lifted and had forgotten his work pass. 5 , he had to lock his bike just outside an underground station next to his office. When he returned for his 6 in the evening, he found just his lock that had been cut and the bike was missing.
The London worker thought he'd never 7 his bike again. However, as he went to ask at the station about any potential 8 that had filmed the robbery, a rail worker, Abdul Muneeb, rushed over to him and asked him to unlock the 9 bike lock to prove he was the 10 . Farmer then explained how Muneeb said "I have your bike" with a 11 he would never forget.
With the lock undone, Muneeb told Farmer how he'd 12 someone cutting the bike lock earlier on during his shift. He stopped the man from 13 the bike and then wheeled it to a safe place. Muneeb 14 four hours after his shift had ended so he could see the bike returned to its rightful owner.

7.When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to Texas, hoping to have a “fresh start”.
At the entrance of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷) State Park, I 1 a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a 2 , permanent campsite in the park, and 3 , the hosts served as a link between the park’s guests and the rangers (护林人). It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an appointment for the following day.
The park was 4 , so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table. We 5 climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to 6 our camp.
Having survived that night, we were 7 that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our 8 and gave us a beautiful campsite.
That evening, 9 , we learned about the canyon 10 . They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay 11 in the dark until the winds died away.
During the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and 12 the little money my wife earned by substitute teaching. Building a successful business and then losing it had left very little time for building a successful 13 . For a time after our business failed I thought I might lose my family as well.
Living in the tiny 14 with no television, we sat close together reading and talking. One evening, standing under a jeweled sky, I found myself 15 for all the hardships. We had walked the trails and climbed the canyon walls. We had become a family!

8. Even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone's day. That was the case for Amie Mickey when she 1 a bumper sticker (保险杠标贴) on her car, reading "You Matter."
Amie started to do this several years ago. At first she wondered if people would 2 it. However, to her surprise, she began seeing a flood of 3 every time she hit the road. More often than not, people 4 slowly near her car would roll down their windows, raising their 5 , waving, and smiling. Sometimes, she even found sticky notes left on her windshield(挡风玻璃) saying things like "You 6 , too!" Once while she was driving down the highway, she became 7 when a man driving a sports car pulled his car alongside suddenly, waving and mouthing, "You matter!" Though it took her some time to recover from the 8 , she still felt happy. Last year, someone 9 her car while she was waiting for her friend in the car by the roadside, saying to her, "It's a (n) 10 sticker. I've seen various stickers before, but none of them have touched me as your sticker has done. " The two small words on the sticker seemed simple enough, but they really reached the hearts of many complete strangers who 11 to catch sight of the sticker.
Stories like Amie really 12 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 13 and it doesn't cost a thing except for a little extra thought. Maybe it means offering a friend a hug, praising the parents when their children 14 well in the school, helping someone out or volunteering at animal shelters or shelters for the homeless.

10. Just several days ago, a violent storm hit our community. I looked out of the window and witnessed a tree being abused by the fierce winds. The branches bent, and swayed (摇摆) back and forth, thanks to their 1 to avoid breaking. The leaves desperately stuck to the branches because their life 2 the tree. The powerful trunk that held the tree upright bent slightly backwards from the force in a battle to 3 its position.
After the storm passed, the tree gracefully returned to its 4 position standing tall in chaos. It managed to 5 the storm. It didn't look the same as leaves had been shed from its branches, but what 6 was that the tree won the fight for its life.

A famous theorist once said, “I don’t divide the world into the weak and the strong: or the successes and the failures...I divide the world into the learners and the non-learners.”
What on earth would make someone a non-learner Everyone is born with an intense 1 to learn. Babies rise to the learning challenge daily. Not just for 2 tasks, but the most difficult ones of a lifetime, like leaning to walk and talk. They never decide it’s too hard or not worth the 3 . Babies don’t worry about making mistakes or 4 themselves. They walk, they fall, they 5 .
What puts an end to this fearless learning A fixed mindset. As soon as children become able to evaluate themselves, some of them become 6 of challenges. They worry about not being 7 . My research team have studied thousands of people from preschoolers on, and It’s breathtaking how many 8 an opportunity to learn.
We offered four-year-olds a 9 :they could redo an easy jigsaw (拼图) or try a harder one. Even at this young age, children with a fixed mindset stuck with the 10 one. They believe smart kids don’t make 11 .
Children with a growth mindset, however, thought it was a 12 choice. Why would anyone want to keep doing the same puzzle 13 They chose increasingly difficult-ones instead.
Believing that success is about learning, children with a growth mindset seized the chance. But those with a fixed mindset didn’t want to expose their 14 . This is how a fixed mindset makes people into 15 .

2.Ecotourism is often regarded as a form of nature-based tourism and has become an important alternative source of tourists. It is broadly defined as low 1 travel to endangered and often undisturbed locations. It is different from traditional tourism because it allows the traveler to become educated about the areas. And it often provides funds for conservation and 2 the economic development of places that are frequently poverty-stricken.
Ecotourism and other forms of sustainable travel have their 3 with the environmental movement of the 1970s. Ecotourism itself did not become prevalent (流行的) as a travel concept until the late 1980s. During that time, increasing environmental awareness and a desire to travel to natural locations as 4 to built up tourist locations made ecotourism desirable.
Since then, several different organizations specializing in ecotourism have developed and many different people have become experts on it. Martha D. Honey, PhD, a co-founder of the Center for Responsible Tourism, 5 , is just one of many ecotourism experts.
Opportunities for ecotourism exist in many different locations worldwide and its activities can vary 6 .
Madagascar, for instance, is famous for its ecotourist activity as it is a biodiversity hotspot, but also has a high priority for environmental conservation and is devoted to reducing poverty. Conservation International says that 80% of the country's animals and 90% of its plants are 7 to the island. Madagascar's lemurs (马达加斯加狐猴) are just one of many 8 that people visit the island to see.
Because the island's government is 9 to conservation, ecotourism is allowed in small numbers because education and funds from the travel will make it easier in the future. 10 , this tourist revenue also aids in reducing the country's poverty.
Despite the popularity of ecotourism in the above-mentioned examples, there are several 11 of ecotourism as well. The first of these is that there is no one definition of the term so it is difficult to know which trips are 12 considered ecotourism.
Critics of ecotourism also cite that increased tourism to 13 areas or ecosystems without proper planning and management can actually harm the ecosystem and its species because the infrastructure needed to sustain tourism such as roads can contribute to environmental degradation (恶化).
Ecotourism is also said by critics to have a negative impact on 14 communities because the arrival of foreign visitors and wealth can shift political and economic conditions and sometimes make the area 15 tourism instead of the domestic economic practices.
Regardless of these criticisms though, ecotourism and tourism, in general, are increasing in popularity all over the globe and tourism plays a large role in many worldwide economies.

When discussing the causes of animal endangerment, it is important to understand that individual species are not the only factors involved in this difficult situation. Endangerment is a broad 1 , one that involves the habitats and environments where species live and interact with one another. Although some measures are being taken to help specific cases of endangerment, the universal problem cannot be solved until humans 2 the natural environments where endangered species live. There are many reasons why a particular species may become endangered, but habitat destruction is on top.
Our planet is continually changing, causing habitats to be altered and modified. Natural changes tend to occur at a(n) 3 pace, usually causing only a slight 4 on individual species. However, when changes occur at a fast pace, there is little or no time for individual species to 5 and adjust to new situations. This can create disastrous results, and for this reason, rapid habitat loss is the primary cause of species endangerment. The strongest 6 in rapid habitat loss are human beings. Nearly every region of the earth has been affected by human activity, particularly during this past century. The loss of microbes in soils that 7 supported tropical forests, the extinction of fish and various aquatic species in polluted habitats, and changes in global climate brought about by the 8 of greenhouse gases are all results of human activity.
It can be difficult for an individual to 9 the effects that humans have had on specific species. It is also hard to identify or 10 human effects on individual species and habitats, especially during a human lifetime. But it is quite 11 that human activity has greatly contributed to species endangerment. 12 , although tropical forests may look as though they are thick and healthy; they are 13 highly susceptible (易受影响的) to destruction. This is because the soils in which they grow 14 nutrients. It may take centuries to re-grow a forest that was cut down by humans or destroyed by fire, and many of the world’s severely threatened animals and plants live in these forests. If the current rate of forest 15 continues, huge quantities of plant and animal species will disappear.

Big trees are ecologically important. They provide food for countless other species and 1 for many animals. With tall branches in the sun, they absorb vast amounts of energy, which allows them to produce massive crops of fruit and flowers.
Actually, only a small number of tree species have the genetic ability to grow really big. The biggest are 2 to North America, 3 big trees grow all globally. To 4 a giant size, a tree needs the right place to establish its seedlings, good growing 5 and lots of time with low adult death rate.
However, in some parts of the world, populations of big trees are declining because their seedlings cannot 6 . In southern India, for instance, a(n) 7 non-native bush, Lantana, is invading the floor of many forests. Lantana grows so thickly that young trees often 8 to take root. With no young trees to 9 them, most of the big trees will finally disappear.
Similarly, without the right growing conditions,trees cannot get really big and there is some evidence to suggest tree growth could slow in warm environments. Tree growth there 10 obviously in warmer years. During the day, their growth shuts down when it gets too warm, and at night they 11 more energy because their metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate increases. With less energy produced in warmer years and more being consumed just to survive, there is even less energy 12 for growth.
The theory means tropical forests would 13 over time. As older trees die, forests would 14 some of their stored carbon into the atmosphere, causing a cycle of further warming, forest shrinkage and carbon 15 .
Besides, big trees are faced with threats from elsewhere, surviving the storms, meeting challenges and growing healthily.

5. The UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, "Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy(傻瓜)." Indeed, Mother Nature can 1 almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the 2 , she is likely to be cruel and lash out at us.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries is a(n) 3 . According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a 4 found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host(中间宿主).
The Wall Street Journal reported that Doctor Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, "This outbreak is a lesson for us. 5 a global scale, human population density, wildlife diversity and land use change are 6 drive new pandemics(流行病)."
In ancient times, people needed to 7 nature to survive so they held it in awe(敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the 8 between nature and human beings.
9 , as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, they try to 10 and even conquer(征服) nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify(改变) plants and capture some wild and rare animals to 11 their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of 12 . For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global 13 .
Although we don't know for sure what first caused the outbreak of COVID-19, Brian Lamacraft said it's time for people to " 14 our relationship with our planet" and " 15 with this world and everything that we've been given". After all, according to the US poet Gary Snyder, "Nature is not the place to visit. It's our home."

8. Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases for greeting people. But as an American, I always found myself unable to speak freely when it came to 1 guests at the door. Just a goodbye would not do, yet that was all I had ever 2 the books. So I would smile and nod, bowing like a Japanese and searching 3 for words that would smooth over the visitors’ leaving and make them feel they would be 4 to come again. In my unease, I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husband's kindness.
Then finally, listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.
The parting for the Chinese includes a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although as a 5 I’m not expected to observe or even know all the rules, I’ve had to learn the expressions of politeness and 6 at a leave-taking.
The Chinese feel they are 7 to see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I’ve sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to 8 from seeing a guest off, 9 he’s gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive.
That’s all very well, but when I’m the guest being seen off, my polite refusals are always 10 . My hostess or host, or both, insist on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way, with my repeating the “Don’t trouble to see me off” at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me. Better to 11 the inevitable.
Besides, that’s going against Chinese 12 , because haste (doing things quickly) is to be avoided. What do you say when you 13 someone People often say “Go slowly” 14 “Farewell”. To the Chinese it means “Take care” or “Watch your 15 ”, or some such caution, but translated literally it means “Go slowly”.

3.阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Every culture on the planet has certain topics that people avoid discussing. But the taboos (禁忌) of one culture may be very different from those of another. You may be 1 that people from other cultures say what you can't talk about.
Paying attention to what people don't 2 can teach us something important about their culture. Their taboo topics give us clues about what they value, respect or even fear. Topics that are considered too personal or too controversial (有争议的) may also be avoided.
America is full of taboo topics. Usually, during a polite conversation, Americans will 3 both politics and religion. They also avoid talking about racial issues.
Why Because these topics can cause strong opinions and 4 . Americans believe it's best to avoid them—especially at social gatherings.
Many Americans also do not feel 5 talking about their personal income, age or health. 6 , they prefer to make small talks about the weather, sports or common interests.
What do these taboos tell us about American 7 For one, they show that Americans place importance on 8 . America certainly isn't the only place that values it. You will find 9 taboos about asking personal questions in many European countries. "This is especially true in Germany," says Hanna Graf, a German living in Shanghai. "In Germany, you are not supposed to ask about other people's personal business," she says. "But there are no 10 rules about what you can't ask; it's just in people's minds."
In Brazil, 11 , almost anything seems open to discussion. "Brazilians talk about all kinds of personal issues," says Mark Quinlan, who grew up in Brazil. But of course, even Brazil has its own taboos. In Brazil, soccer is the one topic that can turn friends into enemies. Brazilians love the sport. Saying anything 12 about soccer can cause big trouble. Even expressing preference for one team over another can be 13 .
Like Brazilians, Australians talk freely about almost anything. However, they do not talk about their personal or business 14 . They prefer to let people judge them by their actions, not their words. Boasting your achievements will only make you the 15 of other people's jokes.
And what about your taboos The next time you have a conversation, pay attention to what isn't said. You might be amazed at what you learn about your own culture.

4. The stage and films are the major forms of entertainment for millions of people. Though the stage possesses a much longer history, films now hold greater 1 for people. There is, however, a strong 2 between the theater and the cinema, and both plays and films have their respective 3 .
Plays continue to attract audience because they provide a slightly 4 form of entertainment from that provided by films. There is more 5 on acting and on the personal relationship created between the actor and the 6 . There is a personal element in the theater which is lacking in the cinema. 7 the audience can go along to the theatre week after week and enjoy watching their favorite actors taking different 8 .
Many films which have been 9 from stage plays have not been successful. For example, there is hardly one film of a Shakespeare play that matches the 10 play on the stage. "Hamlet", "Macbeth", "Henry Ⅳ" and "Richard Ⅲ" have all been made into extremely good films. Yet I doubt if one critic would argue that they are in any way better than the ordinary 11 versions(版本). The majority of people would agree that these plays are much 12 when performed on the stage, as 13 by Shakespeare.

5. "There are two kinds of people in the world—people who love Peking Opera and people who don't know they love Peking Opera yet," said Wang Peiyu in the opening section of her latest 12-episode(集) online 1 "My job is to let the 2 know about Peking Opera and then fall in love with it."
The weekly talk show sees Wang, who is one of the 3 Peking Opera artists in China, explain the traditional art form and 4 its appeal.
With a(n) 5 of various art forms, including singing, dancing, and martial arts(武术), Peking Opera, has a long history 6 back to the 19th century. In 2010, UNESCO 7 it an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(非物质文化遗产).

Wang is trying to change the 8 . She has about 1.6 million followers on micro-blogging platform Sina Weibo and has built up a large fan base among young people with her 9 techniques and charm.
Each episode, about 30 minutes long, 10 Wang introduce her unique knowledge about Peking Opera with a particular 11 such as the making of a Peking Opera star, the 12 of preparing for a performance, and amusing stories about the age-old art. She uses 13 , direct and humorous language to 14 the audience.
One fan commented: "All I knew about Peking Opera was the painted 15 , but thanks to Wang's show, I now know more about the art form and I look forward to watching a live performance in the theatre."

6. Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently 1 boxing matches. Professional boxers earn a lot of money, and successful boxers are 2 as big heroes.
It seems that some people, especially men, find it 3 because it is an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they will 4 the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a 5 themselves. It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their 6 in their everyday lives. Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for the aggression.
However, there is a(n) 7 side of boxing. It can be a very dangerous sport. Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers 8 have to wear helmets, there have been frequent accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with 9 consequences. Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the 10 . Furthermore, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing, in the form of serious brain 11 , even if a boxer has never been knocked out.
I am personally not at all in 12 of aggressive sports like boxing. I think it would be better if less time was 13 to aggressive sports on TV, and we regarded more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes and heroines in our society. I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like 14 sports, and so do I, but I think that 15 other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.

2. For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to others. "While we teach, we 1 ," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They're 2 why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn.
Researchers have found that students who teach others work harder to 3 the material, and apply it more 4 . Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who're learning only for themselves. But how can children, 5 learning themselves, teach others One answer: They can teach younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more 6 than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹). This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings.
Now educators are experimenting with ways to 7 this model to schoolwork. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who then 8 instruct middle school students on the topic. But the most cutting-edge tool is the "teachable agent"—a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world puter scientists have created an animated(动画的) figure called Betty's Brain, who has been "taught" about science by middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to help Betty 10 certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own 11 .
Feedback from the teachable agent 12 improves the teachers' learning. The agents' questions drive student teachers to think and explain the materials in different 13 , and watching the agent solve problems allows the emotions one experiences into action. 14 , it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that help learning. Student teachers feel 15 when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these pupils succeed as they gain pride and satisfaction from someone else's achievement.

With the reality TV star wearing secondhand Azzedine Alaia to Paris fashion week, secondhand Jean Paul Gaultier to a party and a secondhand 1990s Thierry Mugler gown to an award ceremony, it 1 change is happening. Who would have thought that Kardashian—a woman worth $ 350 million ( 270 million)—would be making a case for sustainable fashion
As consumers become increasingly aware of the 2 impact of fashion, they are looking for a more sustainable way to shop. Could 3 secondhand be the answer
The vintage style(复古风格), it seems, is increasingly 4 . High-end boutique Browns has also just launched the label One Vintage, which uses antique textiles to create new clothes. Octavia Bradford, the buyer for Browns, says: " 5 is the loudest conversation in fashion right now."
A study shows that, last year, 64% of women were willing to buy pre-owned pieces compared with 45% in 2016—and 6 , by 2022 19% of the clothes in women's wardrobes will be secondhand. Fashion circularity, a new term referring to the recycled life of clothes, is 7 to reach $51 billion in five years, up from the current $24 billion, according to ThredUp's annual resale report.
Stella McClure, the founder of the online shop The Stellar Boutique, has noticed the 8 . When she opened the shop 20 years ago there was still 9 attached. "But now (thankfully) The Stellar Boutique is not just acceptable—it's cool and has completely 10 the fashion trends," she says.
Apart from people's increased 11 of sustainability, vintage fashion fits neatly into the wider mood of the Instagram age, where authenticity and originality—not being seen in the same outfit as anyone else—are 12 . What better ways to stand out than to wear clothes few others are likely to own
Not 13 to sit back and watch others profit from their vintage items, some luxury labels are relaunching decades-old designs from their own archives. Last year, 14 , Dior brought back its saddle bag because of the attention it was getting in the vintage fashion market. However, for some, buying vintage items will never feel quite right. "It's really not my bag," says Bates. "There are obvious 15 —sizing isn't uniform, and you have to be careful to look for holes and rips."

And in October researchers in the UK and in the US announced that people who eat seven portions(份) of fruit and vegetables a day report being the happiest.
If it is really true that happier kids 13 being wealthier(更富有) kids, is it necessary for parents to get their kids to do the homework The fact is that no homework will make kids happy but surely hurt their grades(分数). Studies do show, 14 , that more education 15 better-paid jobs, which may give us a deep thought.

3. Advertising is about creating images, and this is especially true when advertising food and drinks. What the 1 looks like is more important than what it tastes like. If companies hope to sell food successfully, the food must 2 appetizing.
Television advertising of food often uses 3 . Apparently, food looks especially appetizing if it moves. Chocolate sauce looks much more 4 when you see it being poured over ice cream than it does just sitting in a jar.
5 effects also help to sell food: sausages sizzling(咝咝响) in a frying pan are mouth-watering. A TV 6 for a brand of coffee had the sound of coffee percolating (过滤) in the background. The commercial was so 7 that it lasted five years.
The 8 of food and its packaging is also very important. If the colour looks 9 , people won't eat it. Nobody would normally eat blue bread or drink blue beer. Other 10 food colours are purple, grey, and in some cases, white.
How people expect something to taste often influences how it 11 does taste. Researchers gave some mineral water to two groups of people. They told one group that the water was mineral water, and almost all people said, "It tastes 12 ." Then the researchers told the other group that the water was tap water. This group said the water tasted a little funny. The word "tap" created a(n) 13 image of chlorine (氯).
It is the same with 14 . A food manufacturer gave a group of people the same 15 in a glass jar and in a can and asked them to taste it. They all claimed that the product in the glass jar tasted better.
So it seems to be true. Image is everything.

People often fall ill because of me. 1 , they can hardly blame me; it is largely their own fault. A tired person may get 2 , especially when he goes to crowded places with polluted air. A sudden change in 3 is another factor. In hot summer, people turn on the air-conditioner upon returning home. They will catch a cold easily.
My latest victim is an energetic student. After school, he played football hard for two hours. Though 4 , he still went to the cinema. Then he got back home and took a cold shower immediately.
I seized this golden chance to 5 him. He reacted, trying to 6 me, but I was already reproducing deep in his throat.

5. What were you like as a teenager I was a nightmare. I was rude to my parents, always stayed out late, never did my homework, hung out with the wrong people and made many 1 decisions. Apparently, this is the age when teenagers are out of control and 2 badly. If you're a teenager now, you think this is 3 criticism or it's not your fault. Well, you might be 4 !
Experts have found that it's a teenager's brain that is to 5 . Between the ages of approximately 13 to 19 the brain is still developing in areas that 6 behaviour. This has a (n) 7 on learning and multitasking, stress and memory, sleep, addiction, and decision making. "This is quite a new 8 ," says Professor Sarah. "When I was at university, the dogma(教条) in the textbooks was that the vast brain 9 goes on in the first few years of life and nothing much changes after mid-childhood. That dogma is completely 10 ."
So our brains are still developing much later than we originally thought. Is this the perfect excuse for teenagers to 11 and not get their homework done on time It's something to do with our prefrontal cortex(前额皮层). It's involved in many high-level cognitive (认知的) 12 such as decision-making and planning. This region is undergoing large amounts of development during the adolescent years. For a(n) 13 , this hasn't developed yet. So getting organised to do their homework, for example, can be a bit challenging.
I wish I'd known about this early instead of telling my 14 I'd left my homework on the bus or that the dog had eaten it. Now I could say, "Sorry sir, my 15 isn't developed enough for the cognitive task of planning my homework."

Scientists in Norway have some good news for coffee drinkers. Researchers have already found evidence that the drink or the beans can help with weight loss, 1 one's risk of developing some diseases, promote muscle growth, protect against certain types of cancers and can even reduce one's risk of premature(提前的) death, among many other 2 . Now it is said that a cup of 3 reduces physical pain.
The surprising finding is 4 a study involving 48 volunteers who agreed to spend 90 minutes performing computer tasks to finish office work. The tasks were known to 5 pain in the shoulders, neck, forearms and wrists. The researchers wanted to 6 how people with pain and those who were pain-free tolerated(忍受) the pain of such tasks. As a matter of convenience, the scientists allowed people to drink coffee before taking the test "to avoid 7 effects of caffeine lack, e. g. decreased vigor, sleepiness, and exhaustion".
When it was time to analyze the data, the researchers from Norway's National Institute of Occupational Health and Oslo University Hospital noticed that the 19 people who drank coffee reported a 8 intensity (强度) of pain than the 29 people who didn't. In the shoulders and neck, 9 the average pain was rated 41(on a 100-point scale) among the coffee drinkers and 55 for the non-coffee drinkers. Similar gaps were found for all pain sites measured, and coffee's obvious pain-reduction effect 10 .
However, the authors of the study, which was published this week in the journal, BMC Research Notes, warn that the results of the study come with many 11 . For starters, the researchers don't know how much coffee the coffee drinkers consumed(消耗) before taking the computer tests. 12 , they doubt whether the coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers were 13 in all aspects except for their coffee consumption. Problems like these tend to 14 the importance of the findings. But those doubts are 15 to trouble the coffee drinkers looking for any reason not to cut back on their daily caffeine intake.

7. For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to others. "While we teach, we 1 ," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing the ancient 2 up-to-date. They're proving why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn.
Researchers have found that students who teach others work harder to understand the material, and apply it more 3 . Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who're learning only for themselves. Some studies have found that firstborn children are more 4 than their later born siblings(兄弟姐妹). This 5 their higher grades result from the time they spend teaching their siblings.
Now educators are experimenting with ways to 6 this mode to schoolwork. They employ(雇用) college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who then 7 teach middle school students on the 8 . But the most cutting-edge tool is the "teachable agent"—a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world puter scientists have created an animated(动画的) figure called Betty's Brain, who has been "taught" about science by middle school students. While preparing to teach, students organize their knowledge and 10 their understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they find problems in their own 11 .
Feedback from the teachable agent 12 improves the teachers' learning. The agent's questions drive student teachers to think and explain the materials in different 13 , and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge is put into action. 14 , it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that help with learning. Student teachers feel 15 when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these pupils succeed as they gain pride and satisfaction from someone else's achievement.

8.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.
The term “staycation” means vacations that you take at home or near your home rather than traveling to another place. It is is closely connected with less pollution, saving money and not contributing to the overwhelming disorder that takes place in some of the world's most touristic areas.
The concept of staycation was born at the time of the 2008 market 1 in the United States.
Because of it, many households were forced to 2 their expenses and consequently limit their vacation budget. The shortage of money to travel abroad is at the origin of why many people started to (re) discover their most 3 surroundings
At the same time, awareness of the 4 impacts of tourism, especially on what concerns the impacts of transportation, started to increase too. And so did the perception that some of the main cities (abroad) are increasingly overloaded with people-- with places such as Barcelona, Venice, or the Seychelles planning on 5 a tourist cap.
Staycation appears like a great solution for the 6 above mentioned. It is a great way of spending joyful vacations while helping one's 7 and the environment. 8 , staying close to home eliminates the budget for accommodation and transport.
Apart from the financial 9 gained by leaving behind expensive plane tickets or by not booking hotel rooms that aren't cheap, staycation also has the benefit of keeping harmful
10 in the ground. Cars, boats, and planes are not (or are less) used; 11 , other means of transport such as public transport, bicycles, electric scooters or just walking are favored.
This allows people's carbon footprints not to 12 as much as they would if long distances had been traveled.
A staycation is a form of alternative tourism that is fully in line with the slow tourism trend. Slow tourism invites you to live in the 13 moment. It encourages you to take your time, discover nearby landscapes, reconnect and spend more time outdoors in nature with the people you enjoy, There are no fully-booked days, and there is no 14 to go from one activity to another just to stay busy all the time.
Given the multiple 15 of local tourism, you no longer have a reason to be embarrassed at the coffee machine at work when you are asked where you are going on vacation this year.

The expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a(n) 1 way as a larger group. This influence can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups.
People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly 2 that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of 3 , is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you ” even if it is not necessarily true. There is a(n) 4 aspect to this: it helps society to function efficiently, and encourages a general level of self-discipline that 5 day-to-day interaction between people.
For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes a(n) 6 : in order to satisfy the desire, they may go so far as to 7 their sense of right and wrong. Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs that 8 criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel 9 to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to 10 the peers.
However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at 11 may be urged to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of 12 can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one.
Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, it can also be so 13 that a person may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, simply going with a(n) 14 is risky. Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel drawn to taking a particular action, and whether the real 15 is simply that everyone else is doing the same thing.

Ecology is a complicated thing. Given the facts that elephant damage often kills trees and bush fires often kill trees, it would be 1 to assume that a combination of the two would make things worse. Contrary to this assumption, 2 , as the recently-published research by Benjamin Wigley shows, if a tree has already been damaged, fire can 3 help to make things better.
One common way in which elephants harm trees is by stripping(剥) them of their bark(树皮). Dr Wigley, who did indeed start from the obvious 4 , set off to find out how much worse bush fires would make the effects of this bark stripping. To serve this purpose, he set up a study in the Kruger National Park. Since 1954, the Kruger has been the site of experiments in which plots of land have been burned 5 , to understand the effects of fire on plain ecology. In these experiments, Dr Wigley looked at trees in three different zones, in one of which, the trees were burned every year; in the second, they were burned every other year, while the third zone, by contrast, was actively 6 fire. To keep things consistent, he looked at the fate of the same tree species, the marula(马鲁拉树), in all three zones. He picked marulas because they are particular 7 of elephant activity. Their fruit are delicious, and prized by elephants and people alike. But elephants also seem to enjoy eating their bark. In July 2016 he and his colleagues identified 20 marulas in every zone and used special tools to 8 from each of them a circular section of bark 5 cm in diameter. Having imposed this damage, they 9 the wounds over the course of the following two years, to see what would happen. To their 10 , they discovered that the wounds of trees in fire zones recovered far better than those of trees that had seen no fires at all. Wounded trees in the annual burn zone re-grew 98% of their lost 11 during the two years of the study. Those living in the biennial(两年一次的) burn zone re-grew 92% of it. But those in the zone where fires were 12 re-grew only 72%.
The researchers also found something else when they were measuring the trees’ wounds: ants. Ten of the 20 trees in the fire-prevention zone developed ant colonies in their wounds. The ants in question were a species that is known to damage trees and is supposed to 13 tissue healing. By contrast, only five trees in the biennial burn zone and three in the annual zone developed ants’ nests in their wounds. It looks, therefore, as if bush fires are treating trees’ wounds by killing ants that might 14 colonize and damage them. Though such fires are surely harmful to healthy trees, it seems, in an example of two negatives making a positive, as if they are actually 15 to sick ones.

11.The scent of coffee appears to enhance performance in math
Drinking coffee has benefits. 1 the physical improvement, coffee may reduce our risk of heart disease. Coffee may even help us live longer. Now, research also reveals that the scent(气味)of coffee may help people perform better on the analytical portion of the Graduate Management Aptitude Test, or GMAT, a computer adaptive test 2 by many business schools.
The work, led by famous professor Adriana Madzharov, not only 3 the hidden force of scent and the cognitive(认知)improvement it may provide on analytical tasks, but also expectation that students will perform better on those tasks. Madzharov, with his colleagues, recently published their findings.
“It’s not just that the coffee-like scent helped people perform better on analytical tasks, which was already 4 ,” says Madzharov. “But they also thought they would do better, and we demonstraded that this expectation was at least partly 5 their improved performance.” 6 , smelling a coffee - like scent, which has no caffeine in it, has an effect similar to that of drinking coffee, suggesting a placebo(安慰剂)effect of coffee scent.
Madzharov’s team tested 100 undergraduate business students, divided into two groups, with GMAT algebra questions. One group took the test in the 7 of a coffee - like scent, while a control group took the same test - but in an unscented room. They found that the group in the coffee-smelling room scored significantly higher on the test.
Madzharov’s team wanted to know more. Could the first group’s performance in quick thinking be explained, in part, by an expectation that a coffee scent would increase 8 and consequently improve performance
The team designed a follow-up survey, conducted among more than 200 new participants, quizzing them on 9 about various scents and their effects on human performance. Participants believed that they would feel more alert and energetic in the presence of a coffee scent, in contrast with a flower scent or no scent; and that 10 to coffee scent would increase their performance on mental tasks. The results suggest that 11 about performance can be explained by beliefs that coffee scent alone makes people more alert and energetic.
Madzharov is now looking to explore whether coffee-like scents can have a(n) 12 placebo effect on other types of performance, such as verbal reasoning. She also says that the finding - that coffee - like scent acts as a placebo for analytical reasoning performance - has many practical 13 , including several for business.
“Sense of smelling is one of our most powerful senses,” says Madzharov. “Employers, architects, building developers, retail space managers and others, can use scents to help 14 employees’ or occupants’ experience with their environment. It’s an area of great interest and 15 .”

学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、完形填空（15空）
1.Imagine sitting inside a windowless train that's shooting through a tube at twice the speed of an airplane. Your train has no wheels, produces no 1 ， makes its own electricity, and isn't affected by bad weather. This is the hyperloop, a new vision for the world's 2 ， safest, and greenest form of transportation. Many have 3 this new technology, but others say the hyper loop vision is just a bunch of hot air.
Hyperloop developers plan to use the properties of magnets to float, stabilize, and drive the capsules or pods for hundreds of mites through 4 tubes. Without air or ground to slow down the vehicles, what was once a five-hour journey would become a half-hour excursion, engineers promise.
Supporters of the technology promote additional 5 of transporting passengers and cargo by hyperloop. For example, they firmly state that unlike other city-to-city transport that's 6 ， such as planes or trains, hyperloop vehicles would leave as needed, like Ubers and taxis. While the 7 would hold only 28 to 50 passengers each, developers plan for them to depart stations in groups every minute or so which they say could amount to shuttling 50，000 people an hour. That's more than twice the passenger 8 of the world's fastest trains.
Developers also say that hyperloop tubes would be 9 so they wouldn't interfere with other traffic or threaten wildlife. And tubes would be covered with solar panels to power the hyperloop's systems. 10 ，advocates regard the hyperloop as the transportation choice for the future.
But not everyone is on board. Engineers have calculated that the high-speed vehicles will need to make much wider turns than currently envisioned, and otherwise they won't be 11 for passengers. This would add several miles to the proposed tube tracks, Engineers also say planners haven't included enough time for vehicles to safely brake and take off at stations. Some engineers believe it will take much longer than claimed to pump the 12 out of the tubes before each vehicle's departure. Critics thus say hyperloops can't go as fast or serve as many passengers per hour as advertised, making them 13 existing high-speed transportation options.
Hyperloop companies say they're 14 these concerns. They claim that they can safely maintain high speeds by having the vehicles bank around the turns as a plane does. And their hyperloops will rely on the split-second reaction times of a computer to 15 vehicles quickly, frequently, and safely.

2. Technology now allows us to stream and download our favorite songs through websites and apps. This means it's easy to 1 and play the music we like, so we could enjoy it whenever and wherever we like. So, it's surprising to know that the 2 of some old tech is 3 .
A number of 4 have been releasing their albums on vinyl (黑胶唱片) and cassette tape. While the latter technology lacks the good digital audio quality that we 5 to hear today, in its heyday, it was a popular way for teenagers to enjoy recorded music. The introduction of the Walkman, a portable cassette 6 , in 1979 meant people could listen to music on the 7 for the first time. By the end of 1989, 83 million 8 were bought by British music fans, but the invention of the compact disk in the 1990s 9 that.
In the first six months of 2020, nearly 65 ,000 music cassettes were sold in the U.K. according to the Official Charts Company—double the sales from the 10 period the previous year. Although this is only a small fraction of overall music sales, cassette tapes are 11 items that can be kept and collected—not stored in the 12 . And the resurgence of the cassette has been helped by famous singers who have used this format to release their music.
To listen to music on a cassette, you need a tape player or a personal stereo to play it on, but this hasn't 13 the new younger audience—its recent popularity seems to be more about buying memorabilia(纪念品). Although cassettes won't 14 streaming media as a way of listening to music, it does go to show how some tech 15 dies!

3. In many cases, online classes can be a gift to college students everywhere. They're different from traditional classes in many ways, which can be a welcome 1 for students. So what exactly do students love about taking online classes —A 2 schedule.

What's more, if your entire program is online (e,g. if you're 10 an online master's degree), this 11 you a lot more flexibility than if you're attending traditional university classes. 12 if you happen to have a part-time or even full-time job at the same time, you will be able to get your work done for your online classes on your own time — 13 in the evenings when you come home from work, in the mornings before work, on the weekends, or any time 14 .
15 , flexibility with your classes gives you the chance to make time for other important things in your life—like working a job to earn some money, spending time with friends and family, and also taking much-needed time for yourself.

"I accidentally saw an article published by OneClass about difficult class," Silvera says. "There was a 4 to become a note-taker and I tried. After I offered my notes and my trial period (试用期)was over, I was 5 ."What is surprising, Silvera says, is the 6 of views her notes receive. "In a class of 300, over 100 students usually view my notes. To get responses from a third of the class is 7 , which makes me feel needed."
The founders of OneClass began the site 8 to help other students. But unexpectedly, it gained fame and wealth. 90 percent of students who had used OneClass notes got better grades as a result, and 68 percent of note-takers also saw great 9 in their studies. But note-takers don't just take the job for 10 benefits. Silvera has made $1,500 in just a year of note-taking for OneClass.

5.在下面的每一个空白处都有四个单词或短语,分别标上A、B、C和D。用最符合上下文的单词或短语填空。
The networked computer is an amazing device. It is the first media machine that serves as the mode of production (you can make stuff), means of distribution (you can upload stuff to the network), site of 1 (you can download stuff and interact with it), and place of praise and criticism (you can comment on the stuff you have downloaded or uploaded). 2 , the computer is the 21st century’s culture machine.
But for all the reasons there are to 3 the computer, we must also act with caution. This is because the networked computer has started a secret war between downloading and uploading—between passive consumption and active 4 —whose outcome will shape our collective future in ways we can only begin to imagine.
All animals download, but only a few upload anything besides faces and their own bodies. Humans are 5 in their capacity to not only make tools but then turn around and use them to create superfluous(过剩的) material goods (paintings, sculpture and architecture) and superfluous experiences (music, literature, religion and philosophy). 6 , it is precisely these superfluous things that define human culture and ultimately what it is to be human. Downloading and consuming culture requires great skills, but 7 to move beyond downloading is to rob oneself of a defining ingredient of humanity.
Despite the possibilities of our new culture machines, most people are still 8 download mode, brought about by television watching. Even after the 9 of widespread social media, a pyramid of production remains, with a small number of people uploading material, a slightly larger group commenting on or modifying that content, and a huge percentage remaining satisfied to just 10 .
The networked computer offers the first chance in 50 years to 11 the flow caused by TV viewing, to encourage thoughtful downloading and, even more importantly, meaningful uploading. The computer offers the opportunity to bring about a complete 12 from the culture of television and a shift from a consumption model to a production model. This is a historic opportunity. Fifty years of television dominance has given birth to an unhealthy culture. The 13 is now in our collective grasp. It involves controlling our intake, or downloading, and 14 our levels of activity—uploading.
Of course people will still download. Nobody uploads more than a tiny percentage of the culture they consume. But using the networked computer as a download-only device, or even a download-mainly device, is a 15 opportunity that history affords us. Therefore, the goal must be to establish a balance between consumption and production.

Forget smart phones and smart glasses. One day, we might have smart tattoos(文身,刺花). The company NewDealDesign came up with an idea for a product called Underskin. The 1 would look like a pair of tattoos on your palm and the side of your thumb, but it would actually be a very thin computer implanted just below your skin. It would draw power from your body’s 2 , and you could use it to unlock doors, 3 your health, exchange and store information or even 4 your personality. UnderSkin is just an idea—you can’t go out and get one—but the technology exists to make it work. “We assume it is about five years from being 5 ,” says designers Gadi Amit.
Writer and technology entrepreneur Amal Graffstra already has a chip called a radio-frequency(射频;无线电频率) identification(RFID) tag implanted in his hand. “I use it to 6 into my computer . I also use it to 7 contact details with people,” he says. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and 8 to radio signals with a unique identification number.
If a computerized tattoo or embedded tag isn’t 9 enough for you, what about a 10 chip The company Intel is working on technology that would let you control your devices with your mind. Dean Pomerleau, one of the researchers, explains, “We’re trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves… Imagine being able to surf the Web with the power of your 11 .”

They argue that medical procedures are meant to 14 sick people, and not to give healthy people special powers. Others worry about hacking and privacy.

8.Have you ever heard someone say that he can't see the forest for the trees If so, you may have 1 what this curious phrase means. If you can see the trees, how is the forest not 2 too
This popular phrase accurately describes situations in which people sometimes get caught up in the details so that they lose sight of the big picture. 3 , you're paying so much attention to the trees that you forget that the trees are just part of the larger forest.
This is a problem we all 4 from time to time. When observing our world, it's easy to focus on interesting details and ignore larger concepts. For 5 , though, it's important to be able to focus on both the forest and the trees.

9.Doubling as educational centers and conservation centers, museums play an important role in the protection of 1 .Although these institutions（机构） 2 in size and specialty, the task of most museums is around the display and care of their collections.
Today, many museums are among the most visited 3 in the world. In order to figure out how this important cultural phenomenon came to be, it is important to understand its origins and trace how its role has 4 over time.
The word museum 5 from "mouseion"，the Greek term for "a holy place for the Muses". In classical Greek mythology, the nine Muses are the goddesses of the arts and sciences, making them perfect protectors for these 6 institutions.
Earliest museums were private collections and were only accessible to a narrow circle of people. They displayed 7 and curious natural objects and works of art. Some of them even 8 "wonder rooms" or "cabinets of curiosities".
In 1683，an Englishman named Elias Ashmole donated the contents of his wonder room to Oxford University, forming the 9 of the Ashmolean Museum. Believing that "the knowledge of Nature is very necessary to human life and health," Ashmole wanted to 10 the public through his unprecedented（前所未有的） donation. Following his footsteps, many like-minded collectors across Europe shifted their focus from 11 use to public access in the late 17th and 18th centuries. During this time, world-class museums began to make their art collections accessible to the public. The opening of these institutions 12 a string of similar movements in the 19th century.
Today, the importance of public institutions is stronger than ever before. 13 taking care of collections and making them accessible to the public, many museums are using new technologies to improve their public programs, 14 their collections, and share their research. With these modern methods, museums are able to 15 audiences in new ways and extend their tasks beyond their walls.

10. What would happen if a human brain was connected to a powerful computer That is what Kevin Warwick, a professor at the University of Reading, U. K., 1 to find out. "I want to have a go at exploring what it means to 2 ," he says.
Soon he will have an 3 A glass tube will be placed around a group of nerves in his arm. Inside the tube there will be tiny computer circuits. These will 4 messages being sent to the brain and send them to a computer.
"Pain provides a clear electronic signal on the nervous system as it moves from its 5 of origin to the brain. We want to find out what happens if that signal is sent to the computer and then played back again. Will I feel the 6 pain " says Kevin Warwick.
It is not just about 7 . The human nervous system sends a wide variety of other messages to the brain, which could have many different 8 . The computer could provide the eyes for a blind person.
