Some are too complex because they have two or more parts, and others are impossible to search, because you can't remember a name or an exact year. So you get too many results to make your search useful, or maybe you just aren't near a computer or WiFi. That's when APL can make a difference. With APL, you can put questions to an information specialist at the Pearl Library. For over 40 years, APL has been answering people's questions by looking things up in a variety of texts, recordings and other resources. And these people are expert researchers. So they know where to look for information, which is key in providing a really good quality answer.
Sometimes accuracy is more important than getting millions of results in a second. Then how can you access APL You can call 21518 between 9 am and 6 pm, Monday through Saturday. One of the ten information specialists will answer your question, even if the question has multiple parts. And even if you're missing some key information, that's the benefit of a human over a computer. Plus, if you need some recommended reading, they've got that covered too.

to grow 27. is tuned 28. which 29. dumped 30. providing
【答案详解】
were not
【解析】考查一般过去时的否定结构。根据句子结构分析,该空所处句子结构为定语从句,修饰 bacteria,但是bacteria 为名词复数形式(类似data),又根据此处的时间状语 in the past 可知,此处需要填入一般过去时态,且该句为陈述句,故此处填入 were not。此题作为新高考英语的创新型试题,考查同学们语篇语境下的语法应用能力。Be作为助动词,其与后面的表语一起构成谓语结构。
22.against
【解析】考查介词。结合该空前后的相关内容,可推知,此处想要表达的是“人们没有对抗细菌的天然保护,所以更容易感染这种疾病”,再结合句子结构,此处短语作后置定语修饰protection,而 against 有“反对”之意,符合句意,故此处填入 against。
23.Because/ Since/ As
【解析】考查原因状语从句。结合下文可知,该句下文讲述的是相关结果,即推知前文在讲述原因。再结合句子结构分析,该空所在句子结构完整,且与主句用逗号隔开,即此处为状语从句,故此处填入 Because/ Since/As 引导原因状语从句。
24.what
【解析】考查表语从句。根据句子结构分析,此处为表语从句,且该空在从句中做主语。再结合下文例子,此处在讲述某件事,因此可确定此处考查固定搭配 what happened, 故此处填入 what。
25. it/that
【解析】考查代词。根据句子结构分析,该句中缺少主语,又结合上文内容推知。该空处指代的是上文提及的 the Spanish flu,故此处填入代词it/that。
26.to grow
【解析】考查动词不定式。根期从句的谓语动间 makes 判定此处非讲语结构。而且根糖句子结构分析,此处考查固定搭配 make itradj to do sth意为“使某事助的怎么样",故此处填入to grow。
27.is turned
【解析】考查一般现在时的被动。根据相关句意分析,可知此处的空调是“被打开”,即需要填入动词的被动语态,又因为该空前 the air-conditioner 的提示,可知从句中的主语用的是单数形式,故此处填入 is tuned。
28. which
【解析】 考查非限制性定语从句。根据句子结构分析,可知该空所在句子为非限制性定语,修饰上旬所述相关情况,再结合句意分析,此处主要强调的是相关的时间,又因为该空前有介词 by,故需要用 by which 代替 when 充当引导词,故此处填入 which。
29. dumped
【解析】 考查过去分词。根据主句谓语动词 may be caused 以及or 引导的并列状语,判定空格处的动词为非谓语动词。而且句子结构分析,该空处做后置定语修饰 human waste,再结合上文内容推知,此处想要表达的是“未经加工直接被倾倒到海洋中的人类废弃物”,即此处需要填入动词的过去分词形式,故此处填入 dumped。
30. providing
【解析】考查现在分词。根据句子的谓语动词 can form 判定空格处的动词为非谓语结构,在从句子结构分析,该空构成分词短语作状语,再根据相关句意分析,此处想表述的是“它们可以在水中形成厚厚的团块,为霍乱这种致命疾病提供一个完美的环境”,即此处需要填入动同的现在分词,故此处填入 providing

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)
A Swedish Professor at Natural History came out to the farm to ask me for help. He had come to Africa to find out at what stage of the embryo( 胎) state the foot of the monkeys begins to differ from the human foot. For this purpose he meant to go and shoot Colobus monkeys on Mount Elgon.
“You will never find out from the Colobus monkeys,"I said to him, "they live in the tops of the trees and are shy and difficult to shoot. It would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want.”
The Professor was hopeful. He was going to stay out till he had got his foot, he said, even if it was before years. He had applied to the Game Department for permission to shoot the monkeys he wanted. The permission he was, in view of the high scientific object of his research, certain to get, but so far, he had had no reply.
““How many monkeys have you asked to be allowed to shoot ” I asked him.
He told me that he had, to begin with, asked for permission to shoot fifteen hundred monkeys.
Now I knew the people at the Game Department, and I assisted him to send in a second letter asking for a reply by return of post, since the Professor was keen to get off on his research. The answer from the Game Department did, for once, come by return of post. The Game Department,they wrote. were pleased to inform Professor Land-green that, in view of the scientific object of his research. they had seen their way to make an exception from the rules, and to raise the number of monkeys on his license from four to six.
I had to read the letter over twice to the Professor. When the contents at last were clear to him, he became so deadly shocked and hurt, that he did not say a single word. To my expressions of sympathy he mad no reply, but walked out of the house, got into his car an drove away sadly.
By “it would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want”, the author implies that_____________.
A. it was no easy job to get Colobus monkeys
B. there were very few Colobus monkeys in Africa
C. he wished the Professor good luck in doing the research
D. the Professor was sure to obtain the embryo despite the difficulties
57.What can be learned about the Game Department from the passage
A. It funded the Professor's scientific research.
B. It allowed the Professor to shoot only six monkeys
C. It was set up to help researchers to find wild animals
D.It made rules about where to shoot Colobus monkeys
58. Why did the Professor say nothing after the author read the letter to him
A.The Professor found his research was meaningless.
B.The Professor realized his cruelty in shooting monkeys.
C.The Professor couldn't carry out his research as expected
D.The Professor felt sorry for bringing trouble to the author
59. Which of the following is covered in the passage
A.The scarcity of Colobus monkeys.
B.The change of the Professor's mood
C. The origin of the Game Department.
D. The significance of animal protection.
【答案】56-59ABCB
【解析】
56.A[解析]“It would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want”的思是“如果你想得到它的胚胎,那将是极大的运气”,根据第三段的“The Professor was hopeful, he was going to stay out till he had got his foot, he said, even if it was to be for years.(教授满怀希望,他打算一直等到猴子的足迹,即使这会耗费数年的时间)”可以推知得到流猴极其困难,A(要得到流猴可不是件容易的事)正确;B(非洲的犹猴很少)、C(他祝教授在研究中好运)、D(尽管困难重重,教授还是有把握获得胚胎) 都说法错误,故选 A。
57.B[解析]根据倒数第二段的 The answer from the Game Department did,for e by return of post. The Game Department, they wrote, were pleased to inform Professor Landgreen that, in view of the scientific object of his expedition, they had seen their way to make an exception from their rules, and to raise the number of monkeys on his license from four to six可知游猎局确实通过邮寄方式进行了回复信中写道他们很开心地通知教授,由于他的科学目的,他们决定为他违反自己的规定,并决定将允许猎杀的流猴数量从 4 只上升到6 只。A(它资助了教授的科学研究)、C(它的建立是为了帮助研究人员找到野生动物)、D(它规定了射杀疵猴的地点) 说法错误,B(它只允许教授射杀六只猴子) 正确,故选 B。
58.C[解析]根据最后一段的内容可知作者把信读了两次。当教授最终对内容很清晰了后,他变得很沮丧,感觉受到了致命的打击和伤害,他一句话也没说。作者安慰他他也没说话,他走出房子,进了自己的车伤心地开车走了。说明教授医为无法完成自己想做的研究而感到难过。A(教授发现他的研究毫无意义)、B(教授意识到他射杀猴子的残忍)、D(教授为给作者带来麻烦感到抱歉) 都说法错误,C(教授不能按照预期进行他的研究) 正确,故选 C。

(B)
Running is a great form of exercise. However , running under certain conditions can cause a variety of injuries.
The National Running Association recently released the results of its latest survey on common running injuries , as illustrated in the picture on the above. According to the survey results, the most reported cases are related to knee injury and muscle pull. With the former occurring a little less frequently. About a quarter of the respondents say they have had plantar fasciitis ( 筋膜炎 ) . The number of respondents suffering from Achilles tendonitis (跟腱炎) or shin splints in nearly twice that of those with stress fracture, which is also what fewest
respondents report.
There are two main causes of running injury: structural imbalance and training volume. Structural imbalance occurs when a certain muscle group is weak and requires other muscle groups to help. The body adapts to stresses and becomes stronger. This is the basic principle of training. However , if you push too fast or run too far, you can stress the body in such a way that it never has time to fully recover. Training progression and moderation are the keys to avoiding overuse injury. Here are several ways to avoid running injury.
Prepare your body for running by walking.
Understand your body type and be patient
Follow a sensible training plan or find a coach.
Wear the right shoes.
The cause of the injury is not easy to diagnose. For example, a foot problem can cause a problem in the knees or back. Finding and treating the cause of a running injury is the job of a trained doctor. More importantly , listen to your body and recognize the signs of over-training so that you can avoid running injury.
60. Which group of injuries best fits the blanks numbered (1), (2), 3) and (4) in the picture
A.(1) knee injury; (2)muscle pull; (3)stress fracture; (4) shin splints
B.(1)muscle pull; (2)knee injury; (3)stress fracture; (4)Achilles tendonitis.
C.(1)knee injury; (2)muscle pull; (3shin splints; (4)stress fracture
D.(1)muscle pull; (2)knee injury ; (3)Achilles tendonitis; (4)stress fracture
61. According to the passage, which of the following leads to structural imbalance
A.Using some muscles more intensely than others.
B.Training weak muscles more often than strong ones.
C.Adapting your body to stresses slowly.
D.Giving your body little time to recover.
62. According to the passage, if you want to find out why your back and knees hurt after running, you had better_______________.
A. turn to a coach for help
B. consult a trained doctor
C. understand your body type first
D. wear another pair of running shoes
【答案】60-62 DAB
【解析】
60.D[解析]根据文章第二段的According to the survey results,the most reported cases are related to knee injury and muscle pull, with the former occurring a little less frequently, About a quarter of the respondents say they have had plantar fasciitis, The number of respondents suffering from Achilles tendonitis or shin splints is nearly twice that of those with stress fracture, which is also what fewest respondents report可知报道的病例多与膝关节损伤和肌肉拉伤有关,前者发生的频率略低。大约分之一的受访者表示,他们患有足底筋膜炎。患有跟睫炎或胫骨夹板的受访者量几乎是患有应力性骨折的人的两倍,这也是受访者报告的最少的。因此可以推断出 (4) 是stress fracture,排除A和 B; 那么(3) 有可能是 Achilles tendonitis 或者 shin splints;而膝关节损伤比肌肉拉伤发生的频率略低,所以(2)为 knee injury ; (1)为 muscle pull,故选 D。
61.A[解析]根据文章第三段的 Structural imbalance occurs when a certain muscle group is weak and requires other muscle groups to help.可知当某一肌肉群虚弱,要其他肌肉群帮助时,就会发生结构失衡。A(使用某些肌肉的强度比其他肌肉大)正确:B(多训练弱肌,少训练强肌)、C(让身体慢慢适应压力)、D(让价的身体几乎没有时间恢复) 都说法错误,故选 A。
62.B[解析]根据文章最后一段的 The cause of the injury is not easy to diagnose.For example, a foot problem can cause a problem in the knees or back. Finding and treating the cause of a running injury is the job of a trained doctor.可知受伤的原不容易诊断。例如,脚的问题会导致膝盖或背部的问题。发现和治疗跑步损伤的原因是训练有素的医生的工作。也就是说如果你想知道为什么你的背部和膝盖步后疼,你最好去找医生。A(向教练寻求帮助)、C(首先了解自己的体型)D(穿另一双跑鞋)都说法错误,B(咨询训练有素的医生) 正确,故选 B
(C)
At a conference on self-driving cars , Mike Harp, a government official, asked a seemingly simple question about what happens when his own car meets a driver-less vehicle. “If I honk(按喇叭),will it do any good ” Harp wanted to know. Unfortunately, manufacturers didn't have an answer.“ We haven't reached that point of deciding how and whether it would be appropriate for vehicles to react and in which way to honking ," said one of them. The brief exchange highlights a thorn in the side of automakers and policymakers alike; Self-driving cars will have to share the road with human drivers, likely for decades to come. Those vehicles must therefore respond and adapt to the peculiarities and mistakes of humans behind wheel.
Self-driving technology has already come a long way. Cars being tested on the road today use cameras and radar, for example, to detect the movements of nearby cyclists and pedestrians. There are already driver-assist technologies built into some cars that monitor the speed of vehicles around you,detect potential accidents before they occur, and automatically slow or stop the car to avoid a wreck. In a world where all cars drive themselves, the technology could operate at peak efficiency. Supporters of self-driving cars say that speed limits could be raised and fatal crashes largely avoided as no traffic laws are broken and poor drivers become a thing of the past.
But the change to driver-less vehicles is expected to be gradual, and will likely start with ride-sharing services, as the costs of personally owning a self-driving car remain extremely high. That means man and machine will have to play nice on roadways. “There are so many interesting situations,"such as honking a horn, Harp said. When “another car with a driver meets a self-driving car without a driver in there and they realize that, it will frighten some people. How that's going to be dealt with will be part of the fun part of this process.
Any driver can tell you that driving involves a lot of social interaction, particularly the hand gestures and eye contact of fellow drivers. Much of that interaction between drivers will eventually be digital as cars increasingly collect data and share it with the vehicles around them. If a car speeds up, slows down or prepares for a stop, for example, that would be communicated immediately and electronically to the other vehicles on the road. Like self-driving technology however, it will be years before the vehicle-to-vehicle communication is common.
That challenge is being taken into account as driver-less vehicles are tested on public roads But the honking issue is particularly tricky because it's subject to interpretation, It's going to be really hard for a driver-less vehicle, even if it hears the honk, to figure out what that honk means.
63. In paragraph 1, “a thorn” refers to ____________.
A. the issue that human drivers have peculiarities and make mistakes
B.the prediction that self-driving cars will be common in the future
C.the fact that driver-less cars co-exist with cars driven by humans
D. the technology that ensures driver-less cars are safe on the road
64.Which of the following can be inferred from the last two paragraph
A. Most people don't advocate self-driving technology
B.Inter-vehicle communication is superior to inter-personal interaction
C.Social interaction will decrease among drivers behind the wheel
D.More data is needed to make self-driving technology a reality much sooner
65.Which example is used to illustrate that self-driving technology is not something new
A. A car communicates its speed to the other vehicles
B.A driver-less ear is likely to frighten human drivers
C.Speed limits are raised in a world of self-driving cars
D.Car cameras and radar are used to detect moving people.
66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A.The simple question about self-driving cars we still can't answer
B.A golden opportunity for driver-less cars we can't afford to miss
C.Hidden secrets of self-driving cars we can't reveal
D.Potential risks of driver-less cars we can't ignore
【答案】63-66 CCDA
【解析】
63.C[解析]根据文章第一段的 The brief exchange highlights a thorn in the side automakers and policymakers alike: Self-driving cars will have to share the road with,human drivers,likely for decades to come. 可知这里的a thorn 指的是后面提到的1动驾驶汽车将不得不与人类司机共享道路。A(人类司机有怪癖,会犯错)、B(1动驾驶汽车将在未来普遍存在的预测)、D(确保无人驾驶汽车在道路上安全技术)都说法错误,C(无人驾驶汽车与人类处驶汽车共存的事实) 正确,故C。
64.C[解析]根据倒数第二段的 Much of that interaction between drivers will eventually be digital as cars increasingly collect data and share it with the vehicles around them.可知随着汽车越来越多地收集数据并与周围的车辆共享,司机之间的大部分互动最终将是数字化的。A(大多数人不提倡自动驾驶技术)、B(车辆间的沟通优于人与人之间的互动)、D(需要更多的数据才能让自动驾驶技术更快地成为现实)都说法错误,C(司机之间的社交活动将减少) 正确,故选 C。
65.D[解析]根据文章第二段的 Self driving technology has already come a long way Cars being tested on the road today use cameras and radar, for example, to detect the movements of nearby cyclists and pedestrians.可知自动驾驶技术已经取得了长足的进步。今天在路上测试的汽车使用摄像头和雷达,例如,探测附近骑自行车的人和行人的运动。A(汽车向其他车辆传递速度)、B(无人驾驶的耳朵可能会吓到人类司机)、C(自动驾驶汽车的世界提高了速度限制) 都说法错误,D(汽车摄像头和雷达被用来探测移动的人)正确,故选 D。
66.A[解析]根据文章第一段的 At a conference on self-driving cars,Mike Harp,a government official,asked a seemingly simple question about what happens when his own car meets a driver-less vehicle. “If I honk, will it do any good ” Harp wanted to know.Unfortunately, manufacturers didn't have an answer. "We haven't reached that point of deciding how and whether it would be appropriate for vehicles to react and in which way to honking,”said one of them.可知政府官员迈克·哈普(Mike Harp)问了个看似简单的问题:当自己的车遇到无人驾驶汽车时会发生什么 “如果我按喇叭,会有什么用吗 ”哈普想知道。不幸的是,制造商没有答案。其中一人表示:“我们还没有决定车辆如何以及是否应该对鸣笛做出反应,以及以何种方式做出反应也就是说关于自动驾驶汽车的一个简单问题,我们仍然无法回答。A 正确,B(这是我们不能错过的无人驾驶汽车的黄金机会)、C(我们不能透露的自动驾驶汽车隐藏的秘密)、D我们不能忽视的无人驾驶汽车的潜在风险)都说法错误,故选A。
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A.Another popular belief is that red wine, like other drinks, may be harmful to you if consumed too much. B.Apart from that, many people believe drinking red wine is especially good for your heart C.Eggs are high in cholesterol and fat despite the fact that they are a nutritious source of energy D.There are many other myths common is our society about food and health. E.This is because the body can deal with the extra cholesterol by reducing the amount it produces F.With such a steady stream of information, it's understandable that a few popular myths about food and health are floating around.
Food & Health Myths
Every day there is new information about food and health products. Newspapers regularly have articles that discuss how certain foods or drinks are good or bad for you, Some television shows often deal with new stories about how consuming certain substances can affect your body(67)___________
One myth about food and health is that eggs are bad for your heart. Although they are indeed high in cholesterol(胆固醇)and fat, it's not true that eating eggs every day will damage your heart.(68)_________ As far as fat goes, it's the yellow part of the egg that contains all the fat. So if you're worried about the fat content of eggs, go ahead and just eat the whites. You might also choose to buy certain kinds of eggs that have less fat content depending on the diet of the animal. Check your local supermarket for more information.
__________Although it was once thought to have unique properties, other types of alcohol can have the same effects. A study conducted recently revealed that people who drank red wine did not live any longer than those who drank other kinds of spirits, such as beer or white wine. it seems that the alcohol itself improves an individual's health by raising the levels of good cholesterol and decreasing bad cholesterol. The alcohol also serves to increase blood flow and assist in blood clotting (凝结).
(70)___________Consumers who are especially concerned about their health should think carefully about new information they read about or see on television.
【答案】67-70 FEBD
【解析】
67F[解析]根据文章第句“Every day there is new information about food and health products.(每天都有关于食品和保健品的新信息)”以及后面提到的电视和报纸提供的信息,分析选项可知此处应选 F(有了如此稳定的信息流,一些F食物和健康的流行神话就可以理解了)。
68.E[解析]根据前面的“Although they are indeed high in cholesterol and fat, it's not true that eating eggs every day will damage your heart. (虽然鸡蛋的胆固醇和脂含量确实很高,但并不是说每天吃鸡蛋就会损害你的心脏。)”,分析选项可知接下来应该描述的是吃鸡蛋不会损害心脏的原因,故选 E(这是因为身体可以通过减少胆固醇的产生来处理多余的胆固醇)。
69.B[解析]根据后面的内容“Although it was once thought to have unique properties other types of alcohol can have the same effects. A study conducted recently revealed that people who drank red wine did not live any longer than those who drank other kinds of spirits,such as beer or white wine.(尽管它一度被认为具有独特的特性但其他类型的酒精也有相同的效果。最近进行的一项研究表明,喝红酒的人并不比喝啤酒或白葡萄酒等其他烈酒的人长寿。”可知这一段与喝红酒有关,且此句说的是喝红酒可能会有好处,这样才有后面的让步状语从句。分析选项可知此处应选 B(除此之外,许多人认为喝红酒对心脏特别有好处)。
70.D[解析]根据最后一句“Consumers who are especially concerned about their health should think carefully about new information they read about or see on television.(特别关心自己健康的消费者应该仔细考虑他们在电视上读到或看到的新信息。)”,分析选项可知此处应选 D(在我们的社会中,关于食物和健康还有许多其他常见的神话)。
IV.Summary Writing
71. 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.
Ann Grand: A Visual Thinker
Ann Grand is a visual thinker. When somebody speaks to her, the words are instantly translated into pictures, like a video in her head. Unlike most people, her thoughts move from video-like images to generalizations and concepts. Furthermore, her memories usually appear in her imagination in order of time, and the images visualized are always specific. For example,if she thinks about a chimney, she sees detailed pictures, like the one in her old house and then those in her hometown. That one word can tun into a full-length video in her head. Grand's mind works like the Internet search engine which produces dozens of images of an object a user is searching for.
Visual thinking has enabled grand to build entire systems in her imagination which works similarly to a computer program because it can produce three-dimensional design simulations(三维仿真设计).This was important to her as an equipment designer for the livestock industry. Before she started construction on her designs, she would test-run the equipment in her mind She formed mental pictures of her designs in every possible situation, with different sizes and breeds of cattle and in different weather conditions. This process made it possible for her to correct mistakes before construction started.
Grand's mind is also sensitive to details, which was important in her work with cattle. Her sharp awareness of the visual world led to noteworthy observations about animals, She noticed many little things that most people would not consider that seared the cattle. For example, a coat on a fence or a pipe on the floor would frighten them away. Grand's visualization abilities have also helped her understand the animals she worked with. This led her to create designs ranging from sweeping, curved fences intended to reduce the stress experienced by animals that were going to be killed to systems for handling sick cattle and pigs.

【参考范文】
I can't be more thrilled to hear that you are going to learn Chinese, and I'm really glad to offer you a helping hand. After comparing the two courses carefully, I suggest you choose Chinese reading and writing. Here are my reasons.
First of all, this course offers bio-language learning. Given that you have never made contact with Chinese,having the class with completely Chinese might be an obstacle for you With the help of your mother language, I'm sure that you will accept Chinese more smoothly.
Second,'Chinese reading and writing’ provides a less intense learning period. As a student, you are likely to be busier at Monday and Thursday, and you may have more free time at Friday. What's more, longer learning period can also make you better adapt to the Chines environment.
In conclusion I strongly recommend ‘Chinese reading and writing’ as your first touch of Chinese. Should you have another problems, I would always be glad to help.

The Spread of Disease
Traveling from one city to another can lead to the spread of disease. When people arrive in a new place , they may bring in bacteria that ( 21)__________( not be) present in the past. The people there have no natural protection ( 22) __________these new bacteria, so they catch the disease more easily. (23)________ it is unfamiliar, health workers may not identify it or stop it from spreading. People with the disease may continue to have contact with others. In this way, the bacteria travel from person to person through the population. This was ( 24 )__________happened, for example, when soldiers travelled back home at the end of the First World War. These soldiers brought with them the Spanish flu, and ( 25 )________cost millions of lives.
Heating and cooling systems in buildings can also be a source of disease. Take old air conditioners in windows as an example. They tend to collect dirt and water, which makes it easy for bacteria (26)_____( grow). Then when the air-conditioner ( 27 )_________(turn) on, the bacteria will be blown into the home or office and make people sick. Bacteria grow fast in the water of the cooling towers. They are then sent throughout the building with the air conditioning and can affect anyone in the building. Scientists first recognized this problem in July 1976, by (28)_________ time 221 people had become seriously ill..
Pollution of the oceans can also be a factor in spreading disease. The pollution may be caused by fertilizers that wash into rivers and then into the ocean, or by human waste (29) _________ ( dump ) directly into the ocean with no processing. These pollutants result in the increased growth of tiny plants that are called algae (海藻). They can form a thick mass in the water, (30) __________( provide ) a perfect environment for cholera , a fatal disease.

Why would a power shopper be willing to give up some of her favorite savings (33)_________ to shop online
"For shoppers(34)___________to collect coupons and price match, shopping in-store will bring bigger savings"Spade explained. But many people are never going to do that and, for them,online shopping is another way to save, because you can keep an eye on your running total as you shop to stick to your budget.
“So Spade took the plunge and managed to ( 35 )__________ her first order. "I went to the store afterwards to test out what the price (36)_________ would have been, she said, "and I found everything ordered was the same price at the store.”

People believe that having pets is overall a good thing for children. But does this belief hold up to (41) __________ The new field of human-animal interaction aims to find out.
Ten years ago, when psychologist Joan Smith reviewed the literature on child-animal relationships, she reported that interacting with animals led young children to better understand biology than pet-less children. Kindergartners who had cared for goldfish were more(42) _________ when responding to questions like "does a goldfish have a heart " They also more easily(43) __________biological information from one species to another, inferring that baby frogs get bigger just like goldfish do. She also reports that those kids who turned to their pets for emotional support were less (44)__________ than these who didn't.
The past ten years have seen some advances, but literature on the topic is still rather (45) _______. A recent paper by researcher Meg Brown at Lakeside University (46)________ some important information to the discussion.

She found that adolescents with animal experience were more likely to see themselves as important(49)__________ to their communities, such as doing community service. She also found that the higher the level of(50)________between a teenager and animals, the higher they scored on measurements of emotional connectedness in general. While causality(因果关系)cannot be determined, Brown says that it is at least(51)_________ that children and adolescents can learn about healthy social relationships from their experiences of interacting with animals.“If a connection exists between the skills required for these relationships,then it might be useful to make use of animal relationships as a way to (52)_______ the development of social skills," she says.

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)
A Swedish Professor at Natural History came out to the farm to ask me for help. He had come to Africa to find out at what stage of the embryo( 胎) state the foot of the monkeys begins to differ from the human foot. For this purpose he meant to go and shoot Colobus monkeys on Mount Elgon.
“You will never find out from the Colobus monkeys,"I said to him, "they live in the tops of the trees and are shy and difficult to shoot. It would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want.”
The Professor was hopeful. He was going to stay out till he had got his foot, he said, even if it was before years. He had applied to the Game Department for permission to shoot the monkeys he wanted. The permission he was, in view of the high scientific object of his research, certain to get, but so far, he had had no reply.
““How many monkeys have you asked to be allowed to shoot ” I asked him.
He told me that he had, to begin with, asked for permission to shoot fifteen hundred monkeys.
Now I knew the people at the Game Department, and I assisted him to send in a second letter asking for a reply by return of post, since the Professor was keen to get off on his research. The answer from the Game Department did, for once, come by return of post. The Game Department,they wrote. were pleased to inform Professor Land-green that, in view of the scientific object of his research. they had seen their way to make an exception from the rules, and to raise the number of monkeys on his license from four to six.
I had to read the letter over twice to the Professor. When the contents at last were clear to him, he became so deadly shocked and hurt, that he did not say a single word. To my expressions of sympathy he mad no reply, but walked out of the house, got into his car an drove away sadly.
By “it would be the greatest luck should you get the embryo you want”, the author implies that_____________.
A. it was no easy job to get Colobus monkeys
B. there were very few Colobus monkeys in Africa
C. he wished the Professor good luck in doing the research
D. the Professor was sure to obtain the embryo despite the difficulties
57.What can be learned about the Game Department from the passage
A. It funded the Professor's scientific research.
B. It allowed the Professor to shoot only six monkeys
C. It was set up to help researchers to find wild animals
D.It made rules about where to shoot Colobus monkeys
58. Why did the Professor say nothing after the author read the letter to him
A.The Professor found his research was meaningless.
B.The Professor realized his cruelty in shooting monkeys.
C.The Professor couldn't carry out his research as expected
D.The Professor felt sorry for bringing trouble to the author

Running is a great form of exercise. However , running under certain conditions can cause a variety of injuries.
The National Running Association recently released the results of its latest survey on common running injuries , as illustrated in the picture on the above. According to the survey results, the most reported cases are related to knee injury and muscle pull. With the former occurring a little less frequently. About a quarter of the respondents say they have had plantar fasciitis ( 筋膜炎 ) . The number of respondents suffering from Achilles tendonitis (跟腱炎) or shin splints in nearly twice that of those with stress fracture, which is also what fewest
respondents report.
There are two main causes of running injury: structural imbalance and training volume. Structural imbalance occurs when a certain muscle group is weak and requires other muscle groups to help. The body adapts to stresses and becomes stronger. This is the basic principle of training. However , if you push too fast or run too far, you can stress the body in such a way that it never has time to fully recover. Training progression and moderation are the keys to avoiding overuse injury. Here are several ways to avoid running injury.
Prepare your body for running by walking.
Understand your body type and be patient
Follow a sensible training plan or find a coach.
Wear the right shoes.
The cause of the injury is not easy to diagnose. For example, a foot problem can cause a problem in the knees or back. Finding and treating the cause of a running injury is the job of a trained doctor. More importantly , listen to your body and recognize the signs of over-training so that you can avoid running injury.
60. Which group of injuries best fits the blanks numbered (1), (2), 3) and (4) in the picture
A.(1) knee injury; (2)muscle pull; (3)stress fracture; (4) shin splints
B.(1)muscle pull; (2)knee injury; (3)stress fracture; (4)Achilles tendonitis.
C.(1)knee injury; (2)muscle pull; (3shin splints; (4)stress fracture
D.(1)muscle pull; (2)knee injury ; (3)Achilles tendonitis; (4)stress fracture
61. According to the passage, which of the following leads to structural imbalance
A.Using some muscles more intensely than others.
B.Training weak muscles more often than strong ones.
C.Adapting your body to stresses slowly.
D.Giving your body little time to recover.
62. According to the passage, if you want to find out why your back and knees hurt after running, you had better_______________.
A. turn to a coach for help
B. consult a trained doctor
C. understand your body type first
D. wear another pair of running shoes
(C)
At a conference on self-driving cars , Mike Harp, a government official, asked a seemingly simple question about what happens when his own car meets a driver-less vehicle. “If I honk(按喇叭),will it do any good ” Harp wanted to know. Unfortunately, manufacturers didn't have an answer.“ We haven't reached that point of deciding how and whether it would be appropriate for vehicles to react and in which way to honking ," said one of them. The brief exchange highlights a thorn in the side of automakers and policymakers alike; Self-driving cars will have to share the road with human drivers, likely for decades to come. Those vehicles must therefore respond and adapt to the peculiarities and mistakes of humans behind wheel.
Self-driving technology has already come a long way. Cars being tested on the road today use cameras and radar, for example, to detect the movements of nearby cyclists and pedestrians. There are already driver-assist technologies built into some cars that monitor the speed of vehicles around you,detect potential accidents before they occur, and automatically slow or stop the car to avoid a wreck. In a world where all cars drive themselves, the technology could operate at peak efficiency. Supporters of self-driving cars say that speed limits could be raised and fatal crashes largely avoided as no traffic laws are broken and poor drivers become a thing of the past.
But the change to driver-less vehicles is expected to be gradual, and will likely start with ride-sharing services, as the costs of personally owning a self-driving car remain extremely high. That means man and machine will have to play nice on roadways. “There are so many interesting situations,"such as honking a horn, Harp said. When “another car with a driver meets a self-driving car without a driver in there and they realize that, it will frighten some people. How that's going to be dealt with will be part of the fun part of this process.
Any driver can tell you that driving involves a lot of social interaction, particularly the hand gestures and eye contact of fellow drivers. Much of that interaction between drivers will eventually be digital as cars increasingly collect data and share it with the vehicles around them. If a car speeds up, slows down or prepares for a stop, for example, that would be communicated immediately and electronically to the other vehicles on the road. Like self-driving technology however, it will be years before the vehicle-to-vehicle communication is common.
That challenge is being taken into account as driver-less vehicles are tested on public roads But the honking issue is particularly tricky because it's subject to interpretation, It's going to be really hard for a driver-less vehicle, even if it hears the honk, to figure out what that honk means.
63. In paragraph 1, “a thorn” refers to ____________.
A. the issue that human drivers have peculiarities and make mistakes
B.the prediction that self-driving cars will be common in the future
C.the fact that driver-less cars co-exist with cars driven by humans
D. the technology that ensures driver-less cars are safe on the road
64.Which of the following can be inferred from the last two paragraph
A. Most people don't advocate self-driving technology
B.Inter-vehicle communication is superior to inter-personal interaction
C.Social interaction will decrease among drivers behind the wheel
D.More data is needed to make self-driving technology a reality much sooner
65.Which example is used to illustrate that self-driving technology is not something new
A. A car communicates its speed to the other vehicles
B.A driver-less ear is likely to frighten human drivers
C.Speed limits are raised in a world of self-driving cars
D.Car cameras and radar are used to detect moving people.
66.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A.The simple question about self-driving cars we still can't answer
B.A golden opportunity for driver-less cars we can't afford to miss
C.Hidden secrets of self-driving cars we can't reveal
D.Potential risks of driver-less cars we can't ignore

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
A.Another popular belief is that red wine, like other drinks, may be harmful to you if consumed too much. B.Apart from that, many people believe drinking red wine is especially good for your heart C.Eggs are high in cholesterol and fat despite the fact that they are a nutritious source of energy D.There are many other myths common is our society about food and health. E.This is because the body can deal with the extra cholesterol by reducing the amount it produces F.With such a steady stream of information, it's understandable that a few popular myths about food and health are floating around.
Food & Health Myths
Every day there is new information about food and health products. Newspapers regularly have articles that discuss how certain foods or drinks are good or bad for you, Some television shows often deal with new stories about how consuming certain substances can affect your body(67)___________
One myth about food and health is that eggs are bad for your heart. Although they are indeed high in cholesterol(胆固醇)and fat, it's not true that eating eggs every day will damage your heart.(68)_________ As far as fat goes, it's the yellow part of the egg that contains all the fat. So if you're worried about the fat content of eggs, go ahead and just eat the whites. You might also choose to buy certain kinds of eggs that have less fat content depending on the diet of the animal. Check your local supermarket for more information.
__________Although it was once thought to have unique properties, other types of alcohol can have the same effects. A study conducted recently revealed that people who drank red wine did not live any longer than those who drank other kinds of spirits, such as beer or white wine. it seems that the alcohol itself improves an individual's health by raising the levels of good cholesterol and decreasing bad cholesterol. The alcohol also serves to increase blood flow and assist in blood clotting (凝结).
(70)___________Consumers who are especially concerned about their health should think carefully about new information they read about or see on television.
IV.Summary Writing
71. 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.
Ann Grand: A Visual Thinker
Ann Grand is a visual thinker. When somebody speaks to her, the words are instantly translated into pictures, like a video in her head. Unlike most people, her thoughts move from video-like images to generalizations and concepts. Furthermore, her memories usually appear in her imagination in order of time, and the images visualized are always specific. For example,if she thinks about a chimney, she sees detailed pictures, like the one in her old house and then those in her hometown. That one word can tun into a full-length video in her head. Grand's mind works like the Internet search engine which produces dozens of images of an object a user is searching for.
Visual thinking has enabled grand to build entire systems in her imagination which works similarly to a computer program because it can produce three-dimensional design simulations(三维仿真设计).This was important to her as an equipment designer for the livestock industry. Before she started construction on her designs, she would test-run the equipment in her mind She formed mental pictures of her designs in every possible situation, with different sizes and breeds of cattle and in different weather conditions. This process made it possible for her to correct mistakes before construction started.
Grand's mind is also sensitive to details, which was important in her work with cattle. Her sharp awareness of the visual world led to noteworthy observations about animals, She noticed many little things that most people would not consider that seared the cattle. For example, a coat on a fence or a pipe on the floor would frighten them away. Grand's visualization abilities have also helped her understand the animals she worked with. This led her to create designs ranging from sweeping, curved fences intended to reduce the stress experienced by animals that were going to be killed to systems for handling sick cattle and pigs.
