We put away around 22 million takeaway meals a week, and the number of junk food outlets on our high streets ___26___ (continue) to increase—up a third since 2010 to more than 52,000—while processed foods such as snacks, desserts or ready-to-eat meals now make up more than half the diet of the average adult in Britain.

Reading Comprehension (41 – 55题,每题1分;56 – 70题,每题2分;共45分)
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.
“Look both ways before you cross the street! Look left, right and left again!” These classic childhood ___41___ lessons are passed on from generation to generation. Yet traffic accidents remain one of the most common ___42___ of injuries and deaths for children around the world.
Past studies have found that youngsters are less good at ___43___ road hazards than adults, but Anat Meir, a lecturer in industrial engineering and management at Ben-Gurion University of the Negeve and the Holon Institute of Technology in Israel, wanted to pinpoint exactly which behaviors lead to accidents, with the goal of finding ways to ___44___ them.
To do that without putting anyone in danger, she turned to virtual reality. In 2013 Meir and her colleagues simulated (模拟) 18 streets in Israel and used an eye-tracking device to study how 46 adults and children (ranging in age from seven to 13) evaluated when it was safe to cross. Children aged seven to nine, they found, exhibited the least ___45___ when crossing, typically deciding to step into the virtual road with little or no hesitation, even when their field of vision was restricted. “We had parents looking on who were like, ‘Wow, I cannot believe my child just crossed there!’” Meir says. “It caused them to __46___ their child’s road-crossing abilities.” The older children did not perform much ___47___, though for different reasons. They often stayed on the curb (路缘) for an improper amount of time—a(n) ___48___ that they are less able to distinguish between safe and hazardous situations than adults—and in interviews did not express an understanding of how ___49___ such as car speed and field of vision affect crossing safety.
___50___ do seem to improve crossing success. In Meir’s most recent study, described in Accident Analysis & Prevention, two dozen seven-to nine-year-olds underwent 40 minutes of hazard-detection training. Afterward, Meir and her colleagues ___51___ trainees’ and control kids’ performances in the virtual road-crossing task. The children who ___52___ safety instructions were significantly better at crossing than the control subjects—to the point that their crossing skills were similar to those of adults.
Next, Meir and policy makers aim to figure out how to translate these findings into the ___53___ world. “These results are important because you cannot find solutions without a(n) ___54___ of the problem,” says Joseph Kearney, a professor of computer science at the University of Iowa. “Now it’s up to people with their feet on the ground to determine how they can develop ___55___ programs for children and for parents about good road-crossing habits.”
A. safety B. science C. vision D. indication
A. sources B. categories C. levels D. results
A. encountering B. identifying C. presenting D. recalling
A. perform B. ignore C. correct D. define
A. caution B. interest C. emotion D. relief

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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)
Margo and I were nine. Our parents were friends, so we would sometimes play together, biking past the tree-lined streets to Jefferson Park, the leisure spot of our neighborhood.
I always got nervous whenever Margo was about to show up. It could be that she was both cool and gorgeous with the pink T-shirt featuring a green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter. Or it could be the way she biked, standing up, her arms locked as she leaned above the handle bars.
At the time, I fancied myself an inventor and I told Margo about an idea I had for an invention called the Ringolator, a gigantic cannon that would shoot big, colored rocks into a very low orbit, giving Earth the same rings that Saturn (土星) has. Margo just beamed brightly, shaking her head.
I’d been in the park so many times before that it was mapped in my mind, so we were only a few steps inside when I began to sense that the world was out of order.
“Look! There.” Margo said quietly, calmly.
She was pointing. And then I realized what was different.
There was a live oak a few feet ahead. Thick and ancient-looking. That was not new. The playground on our right. Not new either. But now, a guy wearing a gray suit, leaning against the trunk of the oak tree, not moving. That was new. He kept his mouth open in a way that mouth generally shouldn’t be.
“He’s drunk,” I said, “and dangerously drunk.”
I took two small steps backward. Maybe he was a zombie. I knew zombies weren’t real, but he surely looked like one. And if I made any sudden movements, he might wake up and attack.
As I took those two steps back, Margo took two equally small and quiet steps forward. “His eyes are open,” she said.
“We gotta go home,” I said.
She took another two steps. This time she was close enough and she reached out to touch his foot.
“He’s gone,” Margo said, as if I couldn’t tell.
(From “Paper Towns” by John Green with major adaption)
56. Why the author “always got nervous whenever Margo was about to show up”
A. He was afraid that Margo might give him a lesson physically.
B. He felt that Margo’s way of riding a bike could put them both in danger.
C. He had admiration for the cool and gorgeous appearance and action of Margo.
D. He didn’t like the horrifying green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter.
57. How does Margo feel about the author’s invention of a “Ringolator”
A. It was a brilliant idea that may change the world.
B. It sounded silly yet amusing, so she showed her kindness.
C. It called for experiment in the Jefferson Park.
D. It gave out beams of light and was bright.
58. What happened to the man most probably
A. He was playing hide and seek. B. He was a new comer to the park.
C. He was already dead when found. D. He was becoming a zombie
59. What can best describe Margo
A. Gorgeous and timid. B. Innocent and cute.
C. Bright and imaginative. D. Calm and brave.
【答案】56. C 57. B 58. C 59. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了玛戈和作者一次在杰斐逊公园的经历。

Or it could be the way she biked, standing up, her arms locked as she leaned above the handle bars.(每当玛戈要出现时,我总是很紧张。可能是因为她穿了一件粉色T恤,上面印着一条喷着橙色闪光的绿龙,看起来既酷又漂亮。也可能是她骑车的方式,站着,双臂锁住,靠在车把上)”可推知,每当玛戈要出现的时候,作者总是很紧张,因为他很欣赏玛戈冷静、华丽的外表和动作。故选C项。
【57题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“At the time, I fancied myself an inventor and I told Margo about an idea I had for an invention called the Ringolator, a gigantic cannon that would shoot big, colored rocks into a very low orbit, giving Earth the same rings that Saturn has. Margo just beamed brightly, shaking her head.(那时,我幻想自己是一个发明家,我告诉玛戈我有一个发明的想法,叫做Ringolator,一个巨大的大炮,可以把巨大的彩色岩石发射到非常低的轨道上,给地球带来和土星一样的光环。玛戈只是灿烂地微笑着,摇着头)”可推知,玛戈认为作者发明“Ringolator”的想法听起来很傻,但很有趣,所以她表现出了她的善意。故选B项。

Frequently Asked Questions for Yellowstone National Park
How much is the entrance fee
$35 - Private, non-commercial vehicle; $30 - Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter) $20 - Visitors 16 and older entering by foot bike, ski, etc. * This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
Where should we stay
Your decision may depend on how much time you have and what you want to see the most. If you plan on visiting Yellowstone National Park for only a few days and want to experience some of the main attractions then West Yellowstone would be a good base. From there, it is a short drive to the geyser basins, Old Faithful and the Grand Canyon. If you want to have the full park experience then perhaps lodging at Old Faithful would be a good choice. If you want to view the most wildlife, then we suggest the Northeast Entrance. The South Entrance is a great option if you have more time and want to visit Grand Teton National Park; however it is a longer drive to the heart of Yellowstone if you base out of Jackson. The North Entrance is park headquarters and has the most historic information on the park.
When is the best time to visit the park
This depends on what your interests are. Spring has abundant wildlife, roaring waterfalls and wild weather. Summer has it all including the most crowds, so you’d better get out early and eat your breakfast on the road! Fall is a special time of year. Everything seems to be diminishing including the crowds. Winter is a time of being a bit of social isolation. In years past it was more “economical” to visit most of the park. Now it is more restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour.
Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi
Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitor Center and at some park lodges for registered guests. Cell service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed areas. In summer, service is often maxed out in these areas. Yet, it is sad to see the latest generation fade away from normal everyday activities and conversation. Get out, look around, admire the wonders. There’re plenty of natural and human distractions around every corner. The last thing we want to do is divert visitors from Yellowstone’s wonders especially while driving.
60. How much is the entrance fee in total if Jeffery makes a self-driving trip to Yellowstone with his father and his 16-year-old daughter during the winter vacation
A. $105 B. $55 C. $35 D. $50
61. The underlined sentence implies that _________.
A. visiting Yellowstone in winter is preferred by most local people
B. most of the park was restricted to visitors in winter in the past.
C. nowadays most people choose to tour the park on a snow-coach in winter.
D. winter used to be a better time to visit the park in terms of expenses
62. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. the entrance ticket applies to Yellowstone only
B. Old Faithful provides a full view of the park
C. the wireless connection is not satisfactory in summer
D. younger generations make up the majority of park visitors
【答案】60. C 61. D 62. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了黄石公园的门票以及可以选择的住宿及游玩的地方。
【60题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题“How much is the entrance fee ”下面的“$35 - Private, non-commercial vehicle;”可知,私家非商用车辆入场费是35美元,没有说是每个人35美元,是一辆车35美元。因此,Jeffery带爸爸和女儿开车去黄石公园的费用是35美元。故选C。
【61题详解】
推理判断题。根据画线句上文“Winter is a time of being a bit of social isolation.(冬天是一个有点社交孤立的时期。)”和下文“Now it is more restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour.(现在,除非你能负担得起雪地教练或雪地摩托导游,否则这里的限制就更大了。)”可知,公园冬天人很少,基本与世隔绝。因此在过去的几年,在冬天参观黄石公园是更加经济的,而现在除非你负担得起滑雪教练等费用,要不然可玩的限制更多。因此画线句的隐含意思是,就费用而言,以前冬天是参观黄石公园的好时机。故选D。
【62题详解】
细节理解题。根据小标题“Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi ”下面的“Cell service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed areas. In summer, service is often maxed out in these areas.(手机服务极其有限,只能在主要发达地区或其附近接收。在夏季,这些地区的服务通常会达到最高水平。)”可知,在夏天,游客可能会遇到无线网络服务问题。故选C。
(C)
Of all the journalism specialties, science writing may well be the most challenging. Science writers cover fields undergoing some of the most rapid advances in history, from stunning advances in genetics and biotechnology to exotic discoveries in astrophysics. A science writer’s week may include coverage of new discoveries about viruses, the brain, evolution, artificial intelligence, planets around other suns, and global climate change and its environmental impact, to name only a few topics.
Writing anything that’s any good is hard work, but science writers labor tinder a particular, and rather peculiar, set of constraints. Science is new — only about 400 years old, as a going concern — and prodigious, having transformed our conception of the universe and of our place in it. But precisely because its impact has been so rapid and so monumental, science has not yet been absorbed into our common consciousness. Readers come to the printed page already knowing something about crime and punishment, love and loss, triumph and tragedy — but not, necessarily, about the roles played by theory and observation in identifying a virus or tracing the curvature of intergalactic space. Hence science writers have to keep explaining things, from the significance of scientific facts to the methods by which they are adduced, while simultaneously holding the readers’ attention and moving the story along. It’s as if business reporters had to constantly explain what is meant by “turning a profit”, or sportswriters by “scoring a touchdown”.
Unsurprisingly, we science writers are often misunderstood. People tend to assume that we write computer software manuals or those buckram-bound engineering textbooks assigned to students in technical studies. Fellow authors dismiss us as translators. Editors may think us narrow. A quarter-century ago, when I was struggling to move away from writing about politics and rock music in order to concentrate on astronomy, the editor of a major magazine pressed me to do an article, called “The Bionic Man”, on artificial body parts. When I declined, he became impatient.
“Well, what do you want to write about ” he asked, throwing up his hands, like a motorist cut off in traffic.
“Astronomy,” I replied.
“You’ve already written about astronomy!”
“Yes, but I like it. It was my original interest in life.”
“Aren’t you afraid of becoming some sort of Johnny One Note ”
“Well, not really. You know, what’s out there is something like ninety-nine, then a decimal point, then twenty-eight more nines per cent of everything. Covering nearly everything doesn’t seem all that limiting. And it leads to lots of other things.”
I’ve been on the wrong side of arguments with editors more often than it is comfortable to recall, but on this occasion I turned out to have been right. Astronomy did lead to everything else. It led me into other sciences of course — among them physics, chemistry, and biology — and also, by many winding paths, to poetry, literature, history, philosophy, art, music, and into conversation with some of the smartest and most creative people in the world.
63. According to the writer, what is the main difficulty facing science writers
A. Finding new science topics.
B. Meeting the reader’s expectations of science.
C. Overcoming the reader's unfamiliarity with science.
D. Keeping up with the rapid developments in science.
64. Why did the writer refuse to write about The Bionic Man
A. He had no expertise in the topic.
B. He was not passionate about the topic.
C. He did not realize the potential of the topic.
D. He did not want to write about the same topic again.
65. Which of the following statements about the writer is NOT true
A. He finds it difficult to get recognition from others as a science writer.
B. He feels quite comfortable with the previous arguments he had with editors.
C. A keen interest in astronomy contributes to his exploration of other disciplines.
D. Astronomy helps him form a connection with some great minds in the world.
66. Which word best describes the tone of the last paragraph
A. indifference B. amusement C. frustration D. satisfaction
【答案】63. C 64. B 65. B 66. D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了科学写作的挑战性,科技作家面临的困难并以自己切实经历为例。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Readers come to the printed page already knowing something about crime and punishment, love and loss, triumph and tragedy — but not, necessarily, about the roles played by theory and observation in identifying a virus or tracing the curvature of intergalactic space. Hence science writers have to keep explaining things, from the significance of scientific facts to the methods by which they are adduced, while simultaneously holding the readers’ attention and moving the story along.(读者在阅读印刷版时,已经对犯罪与惩罚、爱与失去、胜利与悲剧有所了解,但未必了解理论和观察在识别病毒或追踪星系间空间曲率方面所起的作用。因此,科学作家必须不断地解释事情,从科学事实的意义到它们被引见的方法,同时抓住读者的注意力,推动故事的发展。)”可知,作者认为,科技作家面临的主要困难是克服读者对科学的不熟悉。故选C。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A quarter-century ago, when I was struggling to move away from writing about politics and rock music in order to concentrate on astronomy, the editor of a major magazine pressed me to do an article, called “The Bionic Man”, on artificial body parts.( 25年前,当我努力摆脱政治和摇滚音乐的写作,转而专注于天文学时,一家主流杂志的编辑强迫我写一篇关于人造身体部位的文章,名为《仿生人》。)”和倒数第四段“Yes, but I like it. It was my original interest in life.(是的,但我喜欢它。这是我对生活最初的兴趣。)”可推断,作者热爱天文学而对人造身体部位的文章不感兴趣。故选B。
【65题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“I’ve been on the wrong side of arguments with editors more often than it is comfortable to recall(在与编辑的争论中,我常常站在错误的一边,回想起来都不舒服)”可知,作者对之前和编辑们的争论感到很不舒服,所以B选择项表述是错误的。故选B。
【66题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It led me into other sciences of course — among them physics, chemistry, and biology — and also, by many winding paths, to poetry, literature, history, philosophy, art, music, and into conversation with some of the smartest and most creative people in the world.(它引导我进入了其他的科学领域,包括物理、化学和生物,也通过许多曲折的途径,进入了诗歌、文学、历史、哲学、艺术、音乐,并与世界上一些最聪明、最有创造力的人进行了交谈。)”可知,作者这次坚定自己的爱好立场给他带来了广阔的视野,是非常正确的决定,从而推断作者对自己的决定感到满意。故选D。
Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. 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 new study has found the amount of antibiotics(抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to rising demand for meat, milk and eggs. The researchers warn the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotics-resistant infections. _____67_____ Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. _____68_____Increasing prosperity in Asia has meant people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and dairy products as they did 50 years ago. To meet that demand, farms have put many animals into smaller spaces.
Gail Hansen is a veterinarian-a doctor who treats animals-with the Pew Charitable Trusts, a research and advocacy group. “As the animals are crowded together, often times the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. ”
Dr. Hansen says antibiotics help the animals stay healthy in crowded environments and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs, and that now-resistant bacteria can spread to people.
Doctors find that antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer do. ___69___Doctors say the heavy use of antibiotics in animals is one of several reasons for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year. At least 23,000 die from an infection.
___70___ “The developing world doesn’t have to make all the same mistakes that we made as being the United States and Europe." She notes that Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And she adds the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.
A. The bacteria have learned ways to fight the medicine.
B. The use of antibiotics in farm animals is harmful to us.
C. For most people, that means eating more meat.
D. Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.
E. Dr. Hansen says the whole world may have to be that way.
F. But Dr. Hansen says it does not have to be that way.
【答案】67. D 68. C 69. A 70. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究成果:在未来15年里,给农场动物使用抗生素的数量预计将增加三分之二,在引起美国民众强烈关注的同时也引发一系列的后果。
【67题详解】
根据空前“The researchers warn the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotics-resistant infections.(研究人员警告说,这些药物可能会加速耐抗生素感染的发展。)”可知,此处强调的是耐抗生素感染是在不断加速发展的,后文应该强调该发展带来的结果。D选项“Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.(这种感染在美国已经是一个主要的公共卫生问题。)”中的Such infections指代前文的antibiotics-resistant infections,形成呼应。故选D。
【68题详解】
根据前文“Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. (专家表示,当人们不再生活在贫困中,他们想做的第一件事就是吃得更好。)”可知,此处强调当人们生活变好的时候,人们想的第一件事情就是吃得更好。后文指出具体的表现。C选项“For most people, that means eating more meat.(对大多数人来说,这意味着要吃更多的肉。)”可知,人们吃更多的肉是生活变好的体现。故选C。
【69题详解】
根据空前的“Doctors find that antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer do.(医生们发现,曾经对感染有效的抗生素不再有效。)”可知,此处强调曾经对感染有效的抗生素不再有效。后文应该解释其原因。A选项“The bacteria have learned ways to fight the medicine.(细菌已经学会了对抗药物的方法。)”呼应前文。故选A。
【70题详解】
根据前文的“ At least 23,000 die from an infection.(至少2.3万人死于感染。)”以及后文“The developing world doesn’t have to make all the same mistakes (发展中国家不必犯同样的错误。)”可知,发展中国家是可以不必犯发达国家所犯的同样的错误。即F选项“But Dr. Hansen says it does not have to be that way.(但汉森博士表示,情况并不一定是这样。)”中的that way指代的是前文的“至少2.3万人死于感染”情况以及后文中“发达国家所犯的同样的错误”形成呼应,符合句意。故选F。
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Major trends that may affect education systems
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which promotes policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world, has been looking at the future of global education. Its head of education, Andreas Schleicher, has been talking about some major international trends affecting education systems around the world.
One trend is the widening gap between rich and poor. In OECD countries, the richest 10% have incomes 10 times greater than the poorest 10%. This inequality is a challenge for schools who want to offer equal and fair access to education for everyone.
Another trend is the rising wealth in Asia. It’s suggested that a large rise in the middle-classes in countries like India will increase demand for university places. Andreas Schleicher asks the question “What values will these newly wealthy consumers want from their schools ”
Increasing migration will also have an impact on education systems. Mobility results in more culturally diverse students eager to learn and develop good life for themselves. But that can be challenge, too, as Andreas Schleicher asks: “How should schools support pupils arriving from around the world Will schools have a bigger role in teaching about shared values ”
Funding pressure is another issue: as our demand and expectation for education rises and more people go to university, who’s going to pay for it all The rise in dependency on technology is another concern. What should students learn when many of their talents can be reproduced by machines And how reliant should we be on learning from the internet
These are just some of the issues the OECD is highlighting. But they remain irrelevant for hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest children who don’t even have access to school places or receive such low-quality education that they leave without the most basic literacy or numeracy.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Bananas, which contain large amounts of vitamins and minerals needed by the body, represent one of the nature's healthiest food choices. In fact,bananas have three times the amount of vitamins A and C found in apples. The tasty fruit also contains five times more protein than an apple.These essential minerals and vitamins help control blood pressure and aid in muscle movement and digestion.
Bananas provide not only physical benefits but also mental and emotional benefits.Bananas contain something that helps lift our mood.
The next time you want to polish your shoes, reach for a banana skin. Some people insist that the inside of a banana peel produces a great shine on your shoes.
Many people believe that bananas should never be placed in refrigerator, but it's just not true. The banana industry has been working hard to correct this myth for years. "While banana skins will turn dark in ti refrigerator, the fruit will spoil less quickly in the refrigerator's cool environment.
(Now listen again, please!)

A dog owner too lazy to walk his pet has lost his driving license after getting caught walking the animal while driving his car.
Paul Railton, 23, was seen driving at 5mph along a country lane in County Durham,dragging a dog along from a car. A policeman explained to him the dangers to the other road users. Due to the narrow road there was no area for other cars to pass. Railton was told to put the dog in the back of the car and was allowed to go,but five days later police turned up at his home to charge him.
Railton said, “1 accept it was a silly thing to do and there was an element of laziness. I don't usually drive in such a manner."
The court confirmed that Railton, who is unemployed, was fined 66 and ordered to pay 43 costs
He had three penalty points added to his license and, because he already had nine points, this meant he was banned from driving for six months.

Why Do you Think They Call It Junk
We know that takeaways and highly processed foods are bad for us, but just how bad I’ve recently been involved in a TV programme, The Junk Food Experiment, in ___21___ we asked six British celebrities to live on a junk food diet for three weeks. ___22___ was so disturbing was just how quickly they became sick, to the point where the series doctor told three of the celebrities—Olympic athlete Tess Sanderson, Made in Chelsea star Hugo Taylor and actress Hayley Tammadon—___23___ (pull) out.
___24___ this documentary involved only a small number of subjects, it did point to a wider truth: junk food has a far more dangerous effect on us than most people imagine.
The most obvious link is obesity (肥胖). We Brits, lovers___25___ fast food, are the fattest people in Europe. We put away around 22 million takeaway meals a week, and the number of junk food outlets on our high streets ___26___ (continue) to increase—up a third since 2010 to more than 52,000—while processed foods such as snacks, desserts or ready-to-eat meals now make up more than half the diet of the average adult in Britain.
In a US study, 20 adults of healthy weight were asked to come into a lab and live for two weeks on processed foods, ___27___ (follow) by two weeks of healthy, home-cooked meals. The different meals contained roughly the same amounts of fat, sugar, salt and carbs, but volunteers ate 500 more calories a day when eating processed foods than when eating real food. As a result, they put on ___28___ average of 0.77kg on the processed diet, while they lost 1.08kg on the healthy diet.
Piling on the bad news, in another recent report a team from California’s Loma Linda University reviewed data from over 240,000 telephone surveys, and found that consumption of fried takeaway foods and those ___29___ (contain) lots of sugar was strongly linked with depression, even when age, education and income ___30___ (take) into account.

There’s no doubt that dogs are incredibly perceptive and sensitive beings, with the ability to sense emotions and read the facial expressions of humans. The American Kennel Club (AKC) says previous studies have shown dogs combine hearing and sight to ____31____ to happy and angry human faces with happy and angry vocalizations (发声).
Researchers have found that dogs can ____32____ the positive sound of laughing from the negative sound of crying.

A 2016 study published in The Royal Society’s Biology Letters showed dogs can recognize emotions in humans using information from different ____36____, which the study said is an ability that had never previously been observed outside of humans.
Speaking to Newsweek, the AKC’s chief veterinary officer, Dr. Jerry Klein, explained dogs can certainly become depressed and anxious. There have been reports of dogs ____37____ depression and loneliness following the ____38____ of an owner or a “fellow member” of their pack, as well as a change from their normal routine, Klein explained.
“But whether or not dogs get ‘sad’ is a little less certain,” Klein told Newsweek. Klein said from a ____39____ scientific standpoint, there isn’t “strong evidence” that dogs feel what people would ____40____ as sadness. “Dogs live more in the moment and don’t have the ‘self-consciousness’ or the tendency to inwardly ponder like people do.”
Reading Comprehension (41 – 55题,每题1分;56 – 70题,每题2分;共45分)
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.
“Look both ways before you cross the street! Look left, right and left again!” These classic childhood ___41___ lessons are passed on from generation to generation. Yet traffic accidents remain one of the most common ___42___ of injuries and deaths for children around the world.
Past studies have found that youngsters are less good at ___43___ road hazards than adults, but Anat Meir, a lecturer in industrial engineering and management at Ben-Gurion University of the Negeve and the Holon Institute of Technology in Israel, wanted to pinpoint exactly which behaviors lead to accidents, with the goal of finding ways to ___44___ them.
To do that without putting anyone in danger, she turned to virtual reality. In 2013 Meir and her colleagues simulated (模拟) 18 streets in Israel and used an eye-tracking device to study how 46 adults and children (ranging in age from seven to 13) evaluated when it was safe to cross. Children aged seven to nine, they found, exhibited the least ___45___ when crossing, typically deciding to step into the virtual road with little or no hesitation, even when their field of vision was restricted. “We had parents looking on who were like, ‘Wow, I cannot believe my child just crossed there!’” Meir says. “It caused them to __46___ their child’s road-crossing abilities.” The older children did not perform much ___47___, though for different reasons. They often stayed on the curb (路缘) for an improper amount of time—a(n) ___48___ that they are less able to distinguish between safe and hazardous situations than adults—and in interviews did not express an understanding of how ___49___ such as car speed and field of vision affect crossing safety.
___50___ do seem to improve crossing success. In Meir’s most recent study, described in Accident Analysis & Prevention, two dozen seven-to nine-year-olds underwent 40 minutes of hazard-detection training. Afterward, Meir and her colleagues ___51___ trainees’ and control kids’ performances in the virtual road-crossing task. The children who ___52___ safety instructions were significantly better at crossing than the control subjects—to the point that their crossing skills were similar to those of adults.
Next, Meir and policy makers aim to figure out how to translate these findings into the ___53___ world. “These results are important because you cannot find solutions without a(n) ___54___ of the problem,” says Joseph Kearney, a professor of computer science at the University of Iowa. “Now it’s up to people with their feet on the ground to determine how they can develop ___55___ programs for children and for parents about good road-crossing habits.”

A. encountering B. identifying C. presenting D. recalling
A. perform B. ignore C. correct D. define

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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)
Margo and I were nine. Our parents were friends, so we would sometimes play together, biking past the tree-lined streets to Jefferson Park, the leisure spot of our neighborhood.
I always got nervous whenever Margo was about to show up. It could be that she was both cool and gorgeous with the pink T-shirt featuring a green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter. Or it could be the way she biked, standing up, her arms locked as she leaned above the handle bars.
At the time, I fancied myself an inventor and I told Margo about an idea I had for an invention called the Ringolator, a gigantic cannon that would shoot big, colored rocks into a very low orbit, giving Earth the same rings that Saturn (土星) has. Margo just beamed brightly, shaking her head.
I’d been in the park so many times before that it was mapped in my mind, so we were only a few steps inside when I began to sense that the world was out of order.
“Look! There.” Margo said quietly, calmly.
She was pointing. And then I realized what was different.
There was a live oak a few feet ahead. Thick and ancient-looking. That was not new. The playground on our right. Not new either. But now, a guy wearing a gray suit, leaning against the trunk of the oak tree, not moving. That was new. He kept his mouth open in a way that mouth generally shouldn’t be.
“He’s drunk,” I said, “and dangerously drunk.”
I took two small steps backward. Maybe he was a zombie. I knew zombies weren’t real, but he surely looked like one. And if I made any sudden movements, he might wake up and attack.
As I took those two steps back, Margo took two equally small and quiet steps forward. “His eyes are open,” she said.
“We gotta go home,” I said.
She took another two steps. This time she was close enough and she reached out to touch his foot.
“He’s gone,” Margo said, as if I couldn’t tell.
(From “Paper Towns” by John Green with major adaption)
56. Why the author “always got nervous whenever Margo was about to show up”
A. He was afraid that Margo might give him a lesson physically.
B. He felt that Margo’s way of riding a bike could put them both in danger.
C. He had admiration for the cool and gorgeous appearance and action of Margo.
D. He didn’t like the horrifying green dragon breathing a fire of orange glitter.
57. How does Margo feel about the author’s invention of a “Ringolator”
A. It was a brilliant idea that may change the world.
B. It sounded silly yet amusing, so she showed her kindness.
C. It called for experiment in the Jefferson Park.
D. It gave out beams of light and was bright.
58. What happened to the man most probably
A. He was playing hide and seek. B. He was a new comer to the park.
C. He was already dead when found. D. He was becoming a zombie
59. What can best describe Margo
A. Gorgeous and timid. B. Innocent and cute.
C. Bright and imaginative. D. Calm and brave.

Frequently Asked Questions for Yellowstone National Park
How much is the entrance fee
$35 - Private, non-commercial vehicle; $30 - Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter) $20 - Visitors 16 and older entering by foot bike, ski, etc. * This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
Where should we stay
Your decision may depend on how much time you have and what you want to see the most. If you plan on visiting Yellowstone National Park for only a few days and want to experience some of the main attractions then West Yellowstone would be a good base. From there, it is a short drive to the geyser basins, Old Faithful and the Grand Canyon. If you want to have the full park experience then perhaps lodging at Old Faithful would be a good choice. If you want to view the most wildlife, then we suggest the Northeast Entrance. The South Entrance is a great option if you have more time and want to visit Grand Teton National Park; however it is a longer drive to the heart of Yellowstone if you base out of Jackson. The North Entrance is park headquarters and has the most historic information on the park.
When is the best time to visit the park
This depends on what your interests are. Spring has abundant wildlife, roaring waterfalls and wild weather. Summer has it all including the most crowds, so you’d better get out early and eat your breakfast on the road! Fall is a special time of year. Everything seems to be diminishing including the crowds. Winter is a time of being a bit of social isolation. In years past it was more “economical” to visit most of the park. Now it is more restricted unless you can afford a snow-coach or guided snowmobile tour.
Can I get Cell and Wi-Fi
Free public Wi-Fi is available at Al-bright Visitor Center and at some park lodges for registered guests. Cell service is extremely limited, with reception only available in or near major developed areas. In summer, service is often maxed out in these areas. Yet, it is sad to see the latest generation fade away from normal everyday activities and conversation. Get out, look around, admire the wonders. There’re plenty of natural and human distractions around every corner. The last thing we want to do is divert visitors from Yellowstone’s wonders especially while driving.
60. How much is the entrance fee in total if Jeffery makes a self-driving trip to Yellowstone with his father and his 16-year-old daughter during the winter vacation
A. $105 B. $55 C. $35 D. $50
61. The underlined sentence implies that _________.
A. visiting Yellowstone in winter is preferred by most local people
B. most of the park was restricted to visitors in winter in the past.
C. nowadays most people choose to tour the park on a snow-coach in winter.
D. winter used to be a better time to visit the park in terms of expenses
62. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. the entrance ticket applies to Yellowstone only
B. Old Faithful provides a full view of the park
C. the wireless connection is not satisfactory in summer
D. younger generations make up the majority of park visitors
(C)
Of all the journalism specialties, science writing may well be the most challenging. Science writers cover fields undergoing some of the most rapid advances in history, from stunning advances in genetics and biotechnology to exotic discoveries in astrophysics. A science writer’s week may include coverage of new discoveries about viruses, the brain, evolution, artificial intelligence, planets around other suns, and global climate change and its environmental impact, to name only a few topics.
Writing anything that’s any good is hard work, but science writers labor tinder a particular, and rather peculiar, set of constraints. Science is new — only about 400 years old, as a going concern — and prodigious, having transformed our conception of the universe and of our place in it. But precisely because its impact has been so rapid and so monumental, science has not yet been absorbed into our common consciousness. Readers come to the printed page already knowing something about crime and punishment, love and loss, triumph and tragedy — but not, necessarily, about the roles played by theory and observation in identifying a virus or tracing the curvature of intergalactic space. Hence science writers have to keep explaining things, from the significance of scientific facts to the methods by which they are adduced, while simultaneously holding the readers’ attention and moving the story along. It’s as if business reporters had to constantly explain what is meant by “turning a profit”, or sportswriters by “scoring a touchdown”.
Unsurprisingly, we science writers are often misunderstood. People tend to assume that we write computer software manuals or those buckram-bound engineering textbooks assigned to students in technical studies. Fellow authors dismiss us as translators. Editors may think us narrow. A quarter-century ago, when I was struggling to move away from writing about politics and rock music in order to concentrate on astronomy, the editor of a major magazine pressed me to do an article, called “The Bionic Man”, on artificial body parts. When I declined, he became impatient.
“Well, what do you want to write about ” he asked, throwing up his hands, like a motorist cut off in traffic.
“Astronomy,” I replied.
“You’ve already written about astronomy!”
“Yes, but I like it. It was my original interest in life.”
“Aren’t you afraid of becoming some sort of Johnny One Note ”
“Well, not really. You know, what’s out there is something like ninety-nine, then a decimal point, then twenty-eight more nines per cent of everything. Covering nearly everything doesn’t seem all that limiting. And it leads to lots of other things.”
I’ve been on the wrong side of arguments with editors more often than it is comfortable to recall, but on this occasion I turned out to have been right. Astronomy did lead to everything else. It led me into other sciences of course — among them physics, chemistry, and biology — and also, by many winding paths, to poetry, literature, history, philosophy, art, music, and into conversation with some of the smartest and most creative people in the world.
63. According to the writer, what is the main difficulty facing science writers
A. Finding new science topics.
B. Meeting the reader’s expectations of science.
C. Overcoming the reader's unfamiliarity with science.
D. Keeping up with the rapid developments in science.
64. Why did the writer refuse to write about The Bionic Man
A. He had no expertise in the topic.
B. He was not passionate about the topic.
C. He did not realize the potential of the topic.
D. He did not want to write about the same topic again.
65. Which of the following statements about the writer is NOT true
A. He finds it difficult to get recognition from others as a science writer.
B. He feels quite comfortable with the previous arguments he had with editors.
C. A keen interest in astronomy contributes to his exploration of other disciplines.
D. Astronomy helps him form a connection with some great minds in the world.
66. Which word best describes the tone of the last paragraph
A. indifference B. amusement C. frustration D. satisfaction
Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. 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 new study has found the amount of antibiotics(抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to rising demand for meat, milk and eggs. The researchers warn the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotics-resistant infections. _____67_____ Experts say when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they want to do is eat better. _____68_____Increasing prosperity in Asia has meant people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and dairy products as they did 50 years ago. To meet that demand, farms have put many animals into smaller spaces.
Gail Hansen is a veterinarian-a doctor who treats animals-with the Pew Charitable Trusts, a research and advocacy group. “As the animals are crowded together, often times the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. ”
Dr. Hansen says antibiotics help the animals stay healthy in crowded environments and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs, and that now-resistant bacteria can spread to people.
Doctors find that antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer do. ___69___Doctors say the heavy use of antibiotics in animals is one of several reasons for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year. At least 23,000 die from an infection.
___70___ “The developing world doesn’t have to make all the same mistakes that we made as being the United States and Europe." She notes that Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And she adds the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.
A. The bacteria have learned ways to fight the medicine.
B. The use of antibiotics in farm animals is harmful to us.
C. For most people, that means eating more meat.
D. Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.
E. Dr. Hansen says the whole world may have to be that way.
F. But Dr. Hansen says it does not have to be that way.
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Major trends that may affect education systems
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which promotes policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world, has been looking at the future of global education. Its head of education, Andreas Schleicher, has been talking about some major international trends affecting education systems around the world.
One trend is the widening gap between rich and poor. In OECD countries, the richest 10% have incomes 10 times greater than the poorest 10%. This inequality is a challenge for schools who want to offer equal and fair access to education for everyone.
Another trend is the rising wealth in Asia. It’s suggested that a large rise in the middle-classes in countries like India will increase demand for university places. Andreas Schleicher asks the question “What values will these newly wealthy consumers want from their schools ”
Increasing migration will also have an impact on education systems. Mobility results in more culturally diverse students eager to learn and develop good life for themselves. But that can be challenge, too, as Andreas Schleicher asks: “How should schools support pupils arriving from around the world Will schools have a bigger role in teaching about shared values ”
Funding pressure is another issue: as our demand and expectation for education rises and more people go to university, who’s going to pay for it all The rise in dependency on technology is another concern. What should students learn when many of their talents can be reproduced by machines And how reliant should we be on learning from the internet
These are just some of the issues the OECD is highlighting. But they remain irrelevant for hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest children who don’t even have access to school places or receive such low-quality education that they leave without the most basic literacy or numeracy.

Dear Sir/Madam,
It is said that there will be an English Debate Contest in Grade One, and student judges will be recruited among Grade Three students. I am very interested in this contest, so I am writing to apply for the position.
My name is Li Ming, studying in Class 15, Grade 3. I am very interested in English and I get good grades. I am fluent in oral English and can express myself clearly in English. I am outgoing and quick in thinking.
When I was in grade one, I took part in the English debate contest and won the first prize, so I know the rules of the English debate contest. I have a deep knowledge of the debate requirements, which enables me to evaluate the performance of the contestants well. So I think I am suitable to be a judge of this competition.
I would really appreciate it if you could give me the opportunity to be a judge.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours
Li Ming
