W: Well, the Wi-Fi has improved a lot. It makes it easier for me to work even if the room isn’t big enough.
M: That’s the first time today anyone’s mentioned that. It’s good to get some positive feedback on that.
W: Mmm.
M: And, is there anything you weren’t satisfied with
W: Well, normally, the trains run on time and are pretty reliable but today it was 15 minutes late.
M: OK. I’ll put that down. Now I’d also like to ask about the facilities at this station. You’ve probably noticed that. Can you say something
W: I think the best thing is that they’ve improved the amount of information about train times that’s given to passengers — before there was only one board. But now there is an electronic display panel. Every time I walk to the platform, I can clearly and quickly know when my train will come.
M: That’s good. Anything else
W: Let’s see... One thing is that there aren’t enough places to sit down, especially on the platforms.
M: OK — so I’ll put ‘seating’ down. Thanks for your time.

【原文】W: Help me decide on which type of hotel room to book.
M: I want the one with a bed.
W: Very funny. We have a choice of different views, and each one is a different price. For instance, a room with a city view is 175 a night.
M: 175 a night ! That’s highway robbery!
W: If you think that’s too steep, there are a few other options. We can get a courtyard room with no view for 120 a night or a room with an obstructed or peek-a-boo ocean views for 130 a night.
M: I don’t really care which type of room we get as long as we don’t end up with a room on the ground floor. I don’t like having people walking back and forth outside my window all night.
W: Okay, I can request a room on an upper floor. You really don’t have a preference
M: No, not really.
W: There is a penthouse room for 400 a night.
M: What ! For that price, I’d better get a view of the Eiffel Tower, the Parthenon, and the Great Wall of China!

At the start of my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me to write my name.
After I put it down, he said, plainly: “Now I will teach you how to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an uneasy relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese but they didn’t speak Mandarin. Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used fortune tellers to decide my name based on the ideal number of strokes (笔画) for each character, which was calculated for the best fortune. Chinese names can be truly poetic. Not mine. Embarrassingly, the characters for my Chinese name mean, roughly, “old,” “barley” and “warm.” My personal and cultural histories were messy knots.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I embraced critical analysis and creative expression. It felt like a way to abandon the strict formalities that defined my early years in Singapore’s high-pressure education system, and with it, perhaps, parts of my identity. Suddenly, I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept. I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name. Ultimately, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to replicate (复制) the old masters’ techniques, thereby enhancing your own. Every week, my teacher would evaluate my writing. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Your challenge is in producing a bold stroke.” For years, I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities, but my writing betrayed me.
I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. That first lesson came with the terrific promise that what had been shameful in myself could be made beautiful—and that I could be the one to do that work. I know now that what calligraphy teaches me is not the value of replication but the possibility that I could know myself more fully.
24．What criterion guided the selection of the author’s Chinese name
A．Poetic sound patterns. B．Ideal symbolic images.
C．Favorable stroke counts. D．Positive literal meanings.
25．Why did the author adopt an American accent
A．To break with tradition. B．To fit into the community.
C．To achieve academic success. D．To facilitate language learning.
26．What have we learned about the author’s experience with calligraphy
A．It revealed her inner self. B．It improved her public image.
C．It presented no challenge to her. D．It enhanced her replication skills.
27．What has the author learned from calligraphy
A．Fortune favors the bold. B．Embrace who you truly are.
C．Our roots define our identity. D．Planning is good, but doing is better.
【答案】24．C 25．B 26．A 27．B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在书法练习的过程中，慢慢找到自我，认识自我，重塑自我概念。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used fortune tellers to decide my name based on the ideal number of strokes (笔画) for each character, which was calculated for the best fortune.(由于不熟悉汉字，他们让算命先生根据每个汉字的理想笔画数来决定我的名字，这是为最好的运气而计算的)”可知，作者的中文名是父母基于笔画的数量，取吉祥福气之意。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“Suddenly, I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept. I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name.(突然间，我觉得有必要以一种美国人能接受的方式来展示自己。我带上了美国口音，把我的中国名字放在一边)”可知，作者说美国口音，隐藏自己的中文名，是为了融入美国的社会。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段“For years, I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities, but my writing betrayed me.(多年来，我一直为自己塑造了一种融合和自信的形象而自豪，尽管内心充满了不安全感，但我的写作背叛了我)”和第五段“I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself.(我一直在学习书法，试图与我的文化根源接触，但我真正寻求的是回归自我)”可推知，作者在书法练习中，重新找到了自我，认识自我，重塑自我概念。故选A。
27．推理判断题。根据第五段“I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots，but what I was really seeking was a return to myself.(我一直在学习书法，试图与我的文化根源接触，但我真正寻求的是回归自我)”可推知，作者本来是想通过书法练习找到自己的文化身份，却在这一过程中重新认识了自我，接纳了自我。故选B。

During space missions, astronauts can experience a loss of some of the inner structural support in their bones. For trips in space lasting at least six months, that loss is equal to about 20 years of aging. Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone.
Exercise scientist Leigh Gabel was part of a team that tracked 17 astronauts, each of whom had spent four to seven months in space. The team measured the 3-D structure of bone. They focused on the structure of the tibia (胫骨) and the lower-arm bone. The researchers took images of the bones 3 times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronaut s returned home from space. From these pictures, Gabel’s team calculated an astronaut’s bone strength and density (密度) at each of those times.
What did they find through comparison of the pictures Astronauts in space for less than six
months regained their preflight bone strength after a year back on Earth. But those who stayed in space longer suffered permanent hone loss in their tibias. That loss was equal to a decade of aging. The lower-arm bones showed almost no loss. That was likely because these aren’t weight-bearing hones on Earth, Gabel explains. In fact, those arms can get a bigger workout in space than on Earth as astronauts use them to move around their craft by pushing off handles and doors.
“Inereasing weight-lifting exercises in space could help alleviate (缓解) bone loss in the legs,” says Steven Boyd, also in exercise scientist.
“With longer spaceflight, we can expect bigger bone loss—and probably a bigger problem with recovery,” says physiologist Laurence Vico. “Space agencies should also consider other bone health measures, such as nutrition, to reduce bone loss and increase bone formation.”
28．Why did Gabel’s team take pictures at different times
A．To offer evidence for their predictions.
B．To show their respect for the astronauts.
C．To compare the changes in the astronauts’ bones.
D．To find out the proper length of staying in space for astronauts.
29．Which of the following may Gabel agree with
A．A spaceflight in less than half a year does no harm to astronauts.
B．Astronauts coming back from a spaceflight look much older.
C．Astronauts can avoid bone loss through doing enough exercise.
D．There is almost no difference in the astronauts’ lower-arm bones.
30．What can we conclude from this text
A．People on Earth never suffer bone loss.
B．The finding of the new study is good news for astronauts.
C．The 17 astronauts knew the bone loss before their spaceflights.
D．Astronauts can regain their bone strength as soon as they return to Earth.
31．What does the text mainly talk about
A．How to prevent bone loss in space.
B．Problems faced by astronauts in space.
C．Astronauts’ suffering from bone loss in space.
D．Astronauts’ contributions to the development of science.
【答案】28．C 29．D 30．B 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项新研究发现宇航员在太空中骨质会流失。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers took images of the bones 3 times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronaut s returned home from space. From these pictures, Gabel’s team calculated an astronaut’s bone strength and density (密
度) at each of those times.(研究人员在宇航员从太空返回地球的六个月和一年后分别对这些骨头拍摄了三次照片。从这些照片中，加贝尔的团队计算出宇航员在每个时间的骨骼强度和密度。)”可知，研究人员对宇航员从太空返回地球后的不同时间段的骨头拍摄了三次照片，进而对宇航员每个时间的骨骼强度和密度进行计算，结合第三段中的“What did they find through comparison of the pictures (通过对比图片，他们发现了什么 )”可知，研究人员对这些图片进行比对来发现宇航员骨骼的变化，由此可知，研究团队选取不同时间拍摄的照片是为了比较宇航员骨骼的变化。故选C项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The lower-arm bones showed almost no loss. That was likely because these aren’t weight-bearing hones on Earth, Gabel explains. (小臂骨几乎没有损失。加贝尔解释说，这很可能是因为在地球上时小臂不用承重。)”可知，加贝尔应该同意“小臂骨几乎没有什么变化”这一观点。故选D项。
30．推理判断题。根据首段中的“Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone.(幸运的是，一项新的研究发现，回到地球一年后，受影响的骨骼中失去的力量有一半得到了重建。)”可知，一项新的研究发现，宇航员们回到地球之后受影响的骨骼有所修复，因此这对宇航员来说应该是一个好消息。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“During space missions, astronauts can experience a loss of some of the inner structural support in their bones. For trips in space lasting at least six months, that loss is equal to about 20 years of aging. Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone.(在执行太空任务期间，宇航员可能会失去骨骼中的一些内部结构支撑。对于持续至少六个月的太空旅行来说，这种损失相当于大约20年的老化。幸运的是，一项新的研究发现，回到地球一年后，受影响的骨骼中失去的力量有一半得到了重建。)”可知，宇航员在执行太空任务时会市区骨骼中的一些内部结构支撑，在太空持续至少六个月的宇航员来说，这种损失相当于老化了20年，但新研究发现，这些损失会在回到地球一年后，有一半的损失得到修复，结合下文中对该研究的分析可知，本文主要围绕着一项新的研究展开，这项研究表明，宇航员在太空中骨质会流失。故选C项。
D
The Voynich manuscript (手稿) is a 234-page book filled with writing in a strange language now called Voynichese. It also features many strange drawings of unknown plants, people and charts. Based on the images alone, it seems to have something to do with medicine.
The language in the manuscript appears nowhere else and has become one of the greatest linguistic riddles of our day, Since its discovery, it has attracted researchers, been called a hoax (骗局), and been the subject of a huge number of articles.
By carbon dating the manuscript, researchers are pretty confident that it was constructed in the early 1400s. And through the magic of linguistic analysis, most people agree that the manuscript is not a hoax. Or, if it is, it’s a very, very complex hoax.
A paper published in 2016 by computer scientist Greg Kondrak and his student Bradley Hauer gained a lot of attention. Their theory was based on the idea that Voynichese was made with a substitution cipher (替代密码). That means it was written in a real language, and then each of the letters in that language was replaced by a specific Voynichese letter.
This is where the computing power comes in. By having a computer compare the text of the Voynich manuscript to 380 languages, Kondrak and Hauer ran the substitution cipher through as many languages as possible and determined if the text would make sense. In the end, they figured out that the original language was Hebrew, and they even translated some of the text. There are a few problems with their results, though: they compared the manuscript to modern Hebrew, not 15th-century Hebrew; they had to make “spelling corrections” for it to make sense; and, possibly most egregious (过分的) of all, they got their results using a translating app.
Despite all the innovations in code-breaking over the last century, the Voynich manuscript still rejects our advances. If Voynichese is indeed ever solved, artificial intelligence could very likely play a role.
32．What can be an agreed point about the Voynich manuscript
A．It’s a medical book. B．It has magic power.
C．It was made in the 1400s. D．It tells the story of a complex hoax.
33．What does Kondrak believe
A．Voynichese was an endangered language. B．Voynichese will be replaced soon.
C．Voynichese was made by somebody. D．Voynichese will attract more attention.
34．What can be inferred about Kondrak’s research
A．Its samples were insufficient. B．It failed to get the text to make sense.
C．It didn’t determine the original language. D．Its conclusion was not convincing enough.
35．What does the author express in the last paragraph
A．Doubt. B．Expectation. C．Determination. D．Concern.
【答案】32．C 33．C 34．D 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍伏尼契手稿——一本六百年来无人能懂的奇书，Voynich手稿里面充满了一种奇怪的语言——现在被称为Voynichese（伏尼切语）——的文字。
32．细节理解题。根据第三段“By carbon dating the manuscript, researchers are pretty confident that it was constructed in the early 1400s. (通过对手稿进行碳年代测定，研究人员非常确信它是在14世纪初建造的。)”可知，关于Voynich手稿，研究人员非常确信它是在14世纪初建造的。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段“Their theory was based on the idea that Voynichese was made with a substitution cipher(替代密码). That means it was written in a real language, and then each of the
letters in that language was replaced by a specific Voynichese letter. (他们的理论基于这样一种观点，即伏尼切语是用替代密码制成的。这意味着它是用真实的语言写的，然后该语言中的每个字母都被一个特定的伏尼切语字母所取代。)”可知，Kondrak认为，伏尼契手稿是用真实的语言写的，该语言中的每个字母都被一个特定的伏尼切语字母所取代，由此可知，伏尼切语人为制成的。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据第五段“There are a few problems with their results, though: they compared the manuscript to modern Hebrew, not 15th-century Hebrew; they had to make “spelling corrections” for it to make sense; and, possibly most egregious (过分的) of all, they got their results using a translating app. (然而，他们的结果也有一些问题：他们将手稿与现代希伯来语进行了比较，而不是与15世纪的希伯来语进行比较；他们必须进行‘拼写更正’才能使其有意义；而且，可能最令人震惊的是，他们使用翻译应用程序获得了结果。)”可知，这项研究的结果是有问题的，Kondrak的研究结论并不令人信服。故选D。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite all the innovations in code-breaking over the last century, the Voynich manuscript still rejects our advances.

Many of us are looking for ways to fall asleep faster at night. While not spending time on our phones right before trying to nod off and focusing on winding down instead is one of the more obvious ways to fall asleep faster, it would seem that one technique is going viral on online platforms. 36 It has 48.3 million views. What is it
According to fitness expert Justin Agustin, the strategy for shut-eye is commonly used in the military where people need to be able to fall asleep whenever they can no matter where they are. Here’s how to try this yourself.
Start out by taking some deep breaths. 37 According to Agustin, you should start by relaxing your forehead muscles before moving onto your eyes, cheeks, jaw-all while focusing on your breathing.
38 Imagine a warm sensation going from the top of your head down to your fingertips, before the warmth travelling from your heart to your toes. Take a deep breath and slowly exhale, relaxing your stomach, thighs, knees, legs and feet. Think about one of the following two scenarios. 39 Two — you’re lying in a canoe on a calm lake with nothing but a clear blue sky above you.
Agustin says that 96% of people who can master this technique can drop off to sleep in just two minutes. 40
A．Then you should take several deep breaths.
B．So we’ll definitely be giving it a go tonight.
C．Continue this relaxation process down your body.
D．Yes, the “Sleep Method” is enjoying great popularity.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
注意：续写词数应为150字左右。
The motley (混杂的) looking group of eleventh graders didn’t look like any “honors” U.S. History class I’d ever imagined. They shuffled (拖着脚步走) into my classroom, which I had painstakingly decorated with Presidential portraits and colorful maps.
Fresh out of college with a degree in history, a teaching certificate, and not a lick of experience, which was what I was.
“Good morning,” I said brightly. I was greeted with vacant stares. “I am so excited to have been selected to teach this honors class,” I continued. “They usually don’t let first-year teachers do that.”
Several of the students sat up straighter and cut their eyes at each other. Too late, I wondered if I should have tried to hide the fact that I had zero teaching experience. “First off, let’s rearrange these desks,” I said. “I like lots of class discussion, so let’s put them in a big circle so we can all see each other’s faces.”
Several of the kids rolled their eyes, but they all got up and began scooting (拉) the desks out of the traditional straight rows. “Perfect! Thanks. Now, everybody choose a seat and let’s play a game. When I point to you, tell me your name. Then tell me what you hate most about history.”
Finally, some smiles. And lots more as our game progressed.
Amanda hated how history seemed to be all about war. Jose didn’t like memorizing names and dates. Gerald was convinced that nothing that had happened in the past was relevant to his life. “Why should I care about a bunch of dead white guys ” was how he put it. Caitlyn hated tricky true-or-false questions. Miranda couldn’t stand fill-in-the-blank tests.
Armed with the feedback my students had given me, I began formulating a plan. No teaching straight from the textbook for this group. No “read the chapter and answer the questions at the end” homework. These kids were bright. My honors class deserved to be taught in a way that would speak to them.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Our courses were somewhat different from traditional ones.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
During our final workday, the principal called me into her office for my end-of-the-year evaluation.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Our courses were somewhat different from traditional ones. We would study everything relating to history, not just battles and generals. We would tie current events into events from the past. We would read novels to bring home the humanity of history. Tests would cover the facts, but also require higher level thinking skills. Gradually many kids were not only willing but eager to attend the after-school study sessions I offered and to accept the help of peer tutors. Four of them loved the subject so much that they formed their own “History Bowl” team and entered a countywide contest, bringing back the Honorable Mention trophy excitedly. All went smoothly day after day.
During our final workday, the principal called me into her office for my end-of-the-year evaluation. “Congratulations on a great first year,” she said with a smile. “The kids in your class have made such great progress that we are astonished at their performance, and of course, the
credit undoubtedly goes to you.” Both modest and proud, I replied, “I learned a lesson from my association with them. They demonstrated great potential, enormous tolerance, limitless enthusiasm, and efficient cooperation, all of which inspired me to be more devoted to my work. Thank you for your recognition.” I know in my heart that it is my dear students who make me feel fulfilled; it is our mutual respect and concerted effort that contribute to who we are.
【导语】本文以人物为线索，主要讲述了一位满怀热情但缺乏经验的新历史老师在教授荣誉班级时的经历。面对一群对历史课兴趣不大的十一年级学生，老师通过游戏的方式了解学生们对于历史课的不满和厌烦之处，如历史聚焦于战争、记忆名字和日期、过去与现在生活脱节等。意识到这群学生的聪明才智后，老师决定摒弃传统的教学方式，不直接照搬教科书内容和进行枯燥的阅读作业，而是打算采取一种更能吸引这些学生、与他们产生共鸣的教学方法。

At the start of my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me to write my name. After I put it down, he said, plainly: “Now I will teach you how to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch.
Growing up in Singapore, I had an uneasy relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese but they didn’t speak Mandarin. Unfamiliar with Chinese characters, they used fortune tellers to decide my name based on the ideal number of strokes (笔画) for each character, which was calculated for the best fortune. Chinese names can be truly poetic. Not mine. Embarrassingly, the characters for my Chinese name mean, roughly, “old,” “barley” and “warm.” My personal and cultural histories were messy knots.
When I arrived in America for college at 18, I embraced critical analysis and creative expression. It felt like a way to abandon the strict formalities that defined my early years in Singapore’s high-pressure education system, and with it, perhaps, parts of my identity. Suddenly, I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept. I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name. Ultimately, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage I thought.
In calligraphy, the idea is to replicate (复制) the old masters’ techniques, thereby enhancing your own. Every week, my teacher would evaluate my writing. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Your challenge is in producing a bold stroke.” For years, I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities, but my writing betrayed me.
I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. That first lesson came with the terrific promise that what had been shameful in myself could be made beautiful—and that I could be the one to do that work. I know now that what calligraphy teaches me is not the value of replication but the possibility that I could know myself more fully.
24．What criterion guided the selection of the author’s Chinese name
A．Poetic sound patterns. B．Ideal symbolic images.
C．Favorable stroke counts. D．Positive literal meanings.
25．Why did the author adopt an American accent
A．To break with tradition. B．To fit into the community.
C．To achieve academic success. D．To facilitate language learning.
26．What have we learned about the author’s experience with calligraphy
A．It revealed her inner self. B．It improved her public image.
C．It presented no challenge to her. D．It enhanced her replication skills.
27．What has the author learned from calligraphy
A．Fortune favors the bold. B．Embrace who you truly are.
C．Our roots define our identity. D．Planning is good, but doing is better.

During space missions, astronauts can experience a loss of some of the inner structural support in their bones. For trips in space lasting at least six months, that loss is equal to about 20 years of aging. Luckily, a new study finds a year back on Earth rebuilds half of the strength lost in the affected bone.
Exercise scientist Leigh Gabel was part of a team that tracked 17 astronauts, each of whom had spent four to seven months in space. The team measured the 3-D structure of bone. They focused on the structure of the tibia (胫骨) and the lower-arm bone. The researchers took images of the bones 3 times—before spaceflight and again six months and one year later when the astronaut s returned home from space. From these pictures, Gabel’s team calculated an astronaut’s bone strength and density (密度) at each of those times.
What did they find through comparison of the pictures Astronauts in space for less than six months regained their preflight bone strength after a year back on Earth. But those who stayed in space longer suffered permanent hone loss in their tibias. That loss was equal to a decade of aging.
The lower-arm bones showed almost no loss. That was likely because these aren’t weight-bearing hones on Earth, Gabel explains. In fact, those arms can get a bigger workout in space than on Earth as astronauts use them to move around their craft by pushing off handles and doors.
“Inereasing weight-lifting exercises in space could help alleviate (缓解) bone loss in the legs,” says Steven Boyd, also in exercise scientist.
“With longer spaceflight, we can expect bigger bone loss—and probably a bigger problem with recovery,” says physiologist Laurence Vico. “Space agencies should also consider other bone health measures, such as nutrition, to reduce bone loss and increase bone formation.”
28．Why did Gabel’s team take pictures at different times
A．To offer evidence for their predictions.
B．To show their respect for the astronauts.
C．To compare the changes in the astronauts’ bones.
D．To find out the proper length of staying in space for astronauts.
29．Which of the following may Gabel agree with
A．A spaceflight in less than half a year does no harm to astronauts.
B．Astronauts coming back from a spaceflight look much older.
C．Astronauts can avoid bone loss through doing enough exercise.
D．There is almost no difference in the astronauts’ lower-arm bones.
30．What can we conclude from this text
A．People on Earth never suffer bone loss.
B．The finding of the new study is good news for astronauts.
C．The 17 astronauts knew the bone loss before their spaceflights.
D．Astronauts can regain their bone strength as soon as they return to Earth.
31．What does the text mainly talk about
A．How to prevent bone loss in space.
B．Problems faced by astronauts in space.
C．Astronauts’ suffering from bone loss in space.
D．Astronauts’ contributions to the development of science.

The Voynich manuscript (手稿) is a 234-page book filled with writing in a strange language now called Voynichese. It also features many strange drawings of unknown plants, people and charts. Based on the images alone, it seems to have something to do with medicine.
The language in the manuscript appears nowhere else and has become one of the greatest linguistic riddles of our day, Since its discovery, it has attracted researchers, been called a hoax (骗局), and been the subject of a huge number of articles.
By carbon dating the manuscript, researchers are pretty confident that it was constructed in the early 1400s. And through the magic of linguistic analysis, most people agree that the manuscript is not a hoax. Or, if it is, it’s a very, very complex hoax.
A paper published in 2016 by computer scientist Greg Kondrak and his student Bradley Hauer gained a lot of attention. Their theory was based on the idea that Voynichese was made with a substitution cipher (替代密码). That means it was written in a real language, and then each of the letters in that language was replaced by a specific Voynichese letter.
This is where the computing power comes in. By having a computer compare the text of the Voynich manuscript to 380 languages, Kondrak and Hauer ran the substitution cipher through as many languages as possible and determined if the text would make sense. In the end, they figured out that the original language was Hebrew, and they even translated some of the text. There are a few problems with their results, though: they compared the manuscript to modern Hebrew, not 15th-century Hebrew; they had to make “spelling corrections” for it to make sense; and, possibly most egregious (过分的) of all, they got their results using a translating app.
Despite all the innovations in code-breaking over the last century, the Voynich manuscript still rejects our advances. If Voynichese is indeed ever solved, artificial intelligence could very likely play a role.
32．What can be an agreed point about the Voynich manuscript
A．It’s a medical book. B．It has magic power.
C．It was made in the 1400s. D．It tells the story of a complex hoax.
33．What does Kondrak believe
A．Voynichese was an endangered language. B．Voynichese will be replaced soon.
C．Voynichese was made by somebody. D．Voynichese will attract more attention.
34．What can be inferred about Kondrak’s research
A．Its samples were insufficient. B．It failed to get the text to make sense.
C．It didn’t determine the original language. D．Its conclusion was not convincing enough.
35．What does the author express in the last paragraph
A．Doubt. B．Expectation. C．Determination. D．Concern.

Many of us are looking for ways to fall asleep faster at night. While not spending time on our phones right before trying to nod off and focusing on winding down instead is one of the more obvious ways to fall asleep faster, it would seem that one technique is going viral on online platforms. 36 It has 48.3 million views. What is it
According to fitness expert Justin Agustin, the strategy for shut-eye is commonly used in
the military where people need to be able to fall asleep whenever they can no matter where they are. Here’s how to try this yourself.
Start out by taking some deep breaths. 37 According to Agustin, you should start by relaxing your forehead muscles before moving onto your eyes, cheeks, jaw-all while focusing on your breathing.
38 Imagine a warm sensation going from the top of your head down to your fingertips, before the warmth travelling from your heart to your toes. Take a deep breath and slowly exhale, relaxing your stomach, thighs, knees, legs and feet. Think about one of the following two scenarios. 39 Two — you’re lying in a canoe on a calm lake with nothing but a clear blue sky above you.
Agustin says that 96% of people who can master this technique can drop off to sleep in just two minutes. 40
A．Then you should take several deep breaths.

Six hours behind the winner, he 50 finished it in over eight hours. But as the bystander repeated his 51 word, Mr Evans got angrier-then 52 . The next time he raced, he wore a shirt with that man's phrase, and a cartoon of a smiling turtle. When he 53 photos of his new uniform on social media, 54 asked for shirts of

The motley (混杂的) looking group of eleventh graders didn’t look like any “honors” U.S. History class I’d ever imagined. They shuffled (拖着脚步走) into my classroom, which I had painstakingly decorated with Presidential portraits and colorful maps.
Fresh out of college with a degree in history, a teaching certificate, and not a lick of experience, which was what I was.
“Good morning,” I said brightly. I was greeted with vacant stares. “I am so excited to have been selected to teach this honors class,” I continued. “They usually don’t let first-year teachers do that.”
Several of the students sat up straighter and cut their eyes at each other. Too late, I wondered if I should have tried to hide the fact that I had zero teaching experience. “First off, let’s rearrange these desks,” I said. “I like lots of class discussion, so let’s put them in a big circle so we can all see each other’s faces.”
Several of the kids rolled their eyes, but they all got up and began scooting (拉) the desks out of the traditional straight rows. “Perfect! Thanks. Now, everybody choose a seat and let’s play a game. When I point to you, tell me your name. Then tell me what you hate most about history.”
Finally, some smiles. And lots more as our game progressed.
Amanda hated how history seemed to be all about war. Jose didn’t like memorizing names and dates. Gerald was convinced that nothing that had happened in the past was relevant to his life. “Why should I care about a bunch of dead white guys ” was how he put it. Caitlyn hated tricky true-or-false questions. Miranda couldn’t stand fill-in-the-blank tests.
Armed with the feedback my students had given me, I began formulating a plan. No teaching straight from the textbook for this group. No “read the chapter and answer the questions
at the end” homework. These kids were bright. My honors class deserved to be taught in a way that would speak to them.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Our courses were somewhat different from traditional ones.
