Shot by Xiaotian Bi
Could you tell which sound was hot and which was cold
If you said the first one was cold, congratulations: You're in Dr. Agrawal's majority.
In general, cold water sounds brighter and splashier, while hot water sounds duller and
frother. But until recently no one really had evidence to explain the difference.
However, Xiaotian Bi, who earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering last year from Tsinghua
University in Beijing, offers a new explanation in a paper he and colleagues published in March
on the arXiv website. It's all about the size of the bubbles that form during pouring, he says, and
this insight may have implications for how we enjoy everyday food and drink.
Dr. Bi's paper has not yet been through peer review, and he acknowledges that much more
research is needed. But Joshua Reiss, a professor of audio engineering at Queen Mary University
of London, who has also studied the acoustics（声学） of hot and cold water said he was "on the
right track, for sure."
Discussions of the varying sounds of hot and cold liquids usually point to differences in
viscosity（粘度） as the culprit（罪魁祸首）. But Dr. Bi wasn't satisfied with that reasoning. He
produces and stars in his own popular science videos, and decided that the sounds water makes at
different temperatures was a good topic. He poked around looking for published research on the
subject and came away disappointed.
"None of them gave a precise explanation," he said, adding that it was "an unsolved
试卷第 3 页，共 14 页
mystery."
1．Which statement best reflects the significance of Dr. Bi's findings
A．It gives final solution to the problem.
B．It shows that bubble size is the key.
C．It confirms cold water sounds brighter due to higher viscosity.
D．It is fully accepted by other scientists.
2．The underlined phrase “poked around” probably means ______.
A．conducted a systematic laboratory experiment
B．searched casually or informally for information
C．criticized existing studies publicly
D．collaborated with other researchers extensively
3．What can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Why You Can Hear the Temperature of Water
B．Can You Guess Which Side is Cold And Which is Hot
C．A Science Video Maker in China is Exploring a Mystery of Water
D．How Can Bi Dao Becomes a Leading Science Video Maker in China

It was late, about 10:15 p.m. Janice Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went
to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove
automatically: turned left to the Station Road, then another left onto Montauk Highway, and
then—bam! When Esposito’s car had just crossed the railroad tracks, it hit another vehicle and
was pushed back onto the tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that
popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and
saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired
teacher, DiPinto, who was 65，fetched a flashlight and rushed out without hesitation. “Any
firefighter would have done what I did,” he said. “We’re always on duty.”
At first, he spotted the other car in the accident. After making sure that the driver was all
right, DiPinto looked around and discovered Esposito’s car straddling the railway tracks. And then
试卷第 4 页，共 14 页
he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train’s arrival.
DiPinto rushed to Esposito’s car and broke the window on the driver’s side. Esposito
looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. “I don’t know where I am,” she said.
“You’re on the railroad tracks，”DiPinto yelled. “I have to get you off right now! The train
was running toward them at a speed of some 105 kilometers per hour. The driver’s door fail to be
opened due to the collision(碰撞), so DiPinto quickly run to the other side and was able to open
the door. He put the airbags aside, seized her arms, pulled her toward him across the passenger
seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible. Several seconds later,
the train crashed into the vehicle. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next
day.
“Last night,” said Gregory Miglino Jr., Chief of the Department in South Country
Ambulance, “the hero arrived in pajamas(睡衣裤), not in a fire truck.”

Slow-moving tropical cyclones will cause greater devastation
According to related new research, tropical cyclones (热带气旋), ranging from hurricanes
to typhoons, are moving more slowly across the planet than they did decades ago, meaning that
they get more destructive power and last longer.
It may seem like a good thing that cyclones crawl at a slower speed, but in fact it’s quite the
opposite. Although the cyclones are moving slower across the ground, they still get high wind
speeds inside, which on the contrary makes hard rains stay longer over communities.
“Nothing good comes out of a slowing storm,” says James Kossin, with the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Center for Weather and Climate in Madison,
Wisconsin. “It can increase storm surge. It can increase the amount of time that structures are
subjected to strong wind. And it increases rainfall.”
According to Kossin’s findings, changing storm patterns are causing greater destruction in
another way. He noted that the speed of global tropical cyclones slowed by an average of 10
percent from 1949 to 2016. The pace of the storms slowed even more as they made landfall in
some regions. In the western North Pacific, it declined by nearly a third. That means there will be
more time for a storm that may already contain much moisture (水汽) to release more of it in each
spot.
Basing his research on the details of nearly 70 years’ worth of storms, Kossin did not try to
determine the cause of the slowdown. Even so, the shift is, exactly as he and other cyclone experts
said, the expected result of climate change.
Kossin’s work was considered to be “important and new” and “pretty convincing” by
Christina Patricola, a scientist with the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division of California’s
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
It is Kossin’s hope that a model demonstrating which communities are likely to be at the
highest risk could be developed by scientists. Given that in some regions, the storms are moving
poleward and gaining in strength as well, places not normally passed by could be affected by
unusually heavy rainfall as a result. “These are not good things to be combining,” he says.
8．Why are cyclones crawling more slowly more destructive
试卷第 6 页，共 14 页
A．They get higher wind speeds inside.
B．They cause more serious climate change.
C．They move poleward and affect more regions.
D．They make rains and winds stay longer over a place.
9．What has Kossin found about the western North Pacific
A．The speed of the storms there slows more.
B．It has much wetter air.
C．It has higher risk of being hit by storms.
D．The storms there cause greater damage.
10．Why does the author quote Christina Patricola’s words
A．To attract more attention to research on storms.
B．To emphasize the importance of studying storms.
C．To show she is an authoritative scientist in this field.
D．To demonstrate that Kossin’s work has been recognized.
11．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Entertainment. B．Science. C．Health. D．Education.
D
Big Cities No Longer Deliver for Low-skilled Workers
Forty years ago, Americans who didn’t go to college could move to cities and get good jobs
in manufacturing or office work. But starting in about 1980, these jobs began to disappear, thanks
in part to offshoring(离岸外包) and automation.
Workers without a college education were increasingly moved to low-skilled service jobs.
Even as educational inequality was growing, geographic inequality was growing as well.
High-skilled occupations increasingly clustered(聚集) in cities, while low-skilled service jobs
have become more plentiful outside of urban centers. At the same time, wages for mid-skilled jobs
like manufacturing and office work equalized between cities and rural areas — workers in these
jobs can no longer get much of a pay bump by moving into town. Thus, a major route to
middle-class prosperity has been closed off.
Some of this can be explained by virtue of the two basic economic reasons for cities to exist
试卷第 7 页，共 14 页
in a modern economy — agglomeration(聚集) and clustering. Agglomeration refers to the
tendency of businesses of all types, but especially manufacturers, to locate near each other. This
happens because employers want to be near to employees, who want to be near to the businesses
they work for and buy goods from. The result is a city with lots of different industries.
Clustering on the other hand, refers to the tendency of companies within a single industry to
want to be near each other. Clustering effects are much stronger in knowledge-based industries
like tech and finance, because ideas are their lifeblood, and workers who live near each other tend
to share ideas with each other. Clustering also arises because of the need for employers to have
access to a deep pool of skilled workers.
As the U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it, and as
consumers have moved from buying more physical goods to buying more digital services,
agglomeration has become less important relative to clustering. The smokestack cities of the last
century have given way to tech hubs and financial centers.
So what’s to be done in order to help mid-skilled and non-college workers live decent,
middle-class lives And how can the emerging divide between small towns and big cities be
arrested One idea is to build lots more housing in cities, driving down rents and making cities
more livable for everyone. Another idea is to use research universities to revive economically
depressed regions by dispersing knowledge workers to less-populated areas.
But in the end, the government may simply have to step in and intervene on behalf of the
services class. Wage subsidies, portable pensions and various other incentives for higher wages
can be deployed to make today’s low-skilled jobs more like the good office and factory jobs of
yesteryear. The alternative may be to watch non-college workers and small towns fall further
behind.
12．Which of the following is NOT the reason why more low-skilled workers are shut away from
middle-class prosperity
A．The education opportunities are unequally distributed.
B．Low-skilled service jobs are gradually limited to the suburbs.
C．Few jobs related to offshoring and automation are vacant.
D．Low-skilled workers can hardly get a higher pay in city centers.
13．_________ is a case of clustering.
试卷第 8 页，共 14 页
A．A center where many colleges and universities gather
B．An area where there are a lot of computer companies
C．A land where agricultural production is highly automated
D．A town where industries specialize in producing masks
14．In paragraph 5, the author mentions the smokestack cities of the last century to _________.
A．explain why agglomeration has become less important relative to clustering
B．reveal how U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it
C．indicate that we cannot emphasize the importance of manufactures too much
D．imply that old industrial cities have been transformed into knowledge-based ones
15．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A．More houses will be built to make life in cities more affordable.
B．Research needs to be done in less-populated areas to revive its economy.
C．The government plays an irreplaceable role in helping those disadvantaged workers.
D．Non-college workers and small town have no alternative but to fall further behind.

It is more often a challenge to make learning appear fun to your students. If traditional ways
of learning aren’t engaging them, it is time to think outside of the box. 16
17 If you assume all students learn in the same way, you are absolutely wrong. As
teachers, evaluate the specific needs of each student. Determine if they have trouble sitting still.
Examine how they learn the best—are they auditory (听觉的) learners, visual learners, or physical
learners Use the knowledge to structure your lesson plans.
Get involved in your students’ learning. When the students are studying or taking part in an
educational activity, join in. It allows you to model study habits and the feeling of joy when
learning something new. 18 ，they will assume that the activity is simply not worth your
time.
Create hands-on learning opportunities. Students remember information better when both
their hands and brains are busy. 19 . For example, you can group students by interests and
试卷第 9 页，共 14 页
provide them with activities that let them explore a topic in a way that engage them. The active,
auditory and visual learners will benefit much in the progress.
20 When students are placed in charge of their own learning and the learning of
others, they are encouraged to learn the material as thoroughly as possible. So have students work
in pairs or small groups. Instead of asking you for help, they will rely on each other or solve any
problem they meet with.
A．If they suspect that you did not enjoy the activity
B．Structure students’ learning plan to meet their needs
C．Provide students with opportunities to teach each other
D．Promote independent and self-paced learning for everyone
E．Catch their attention with individualized and creative methods
F．If they don’t find any pleasure while getting involved in the activity
G．This is accomplished by activities that require students to talk, listen and move

Ieoh Ming Pei was an honoring Chinese-American architect. He designed many notable
buildings around the world throughout his long professional . The Hong Kong Bank of
China Tower (BOC Tower) is one of his most famous works in Asia.
Pei was commissioned (委托) in 1982 by the Beijing-based Bank of China to its
headquarters in Hong Kong, but construction did not start until 1985. There were many reasons
for the . One of them was the huge challenges caused by the location. The relatively small
land parcel (地块) was on three sides by raised roadways high-speed heavy
traffic. Then there was its awkward trapezoidal (梯形) shape and the fact that the also
had a deep north-south height difference.
Another challenge was the unavoidable of the BOC Tower with the neighboring
Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Headquarters (HSBC), which was also being . A
spectacular building generously , its architect Norman Foster was simply told to create
"the best bank building in the world." At that time it was also the world's most building,
试卷第 10 页，共 14 页
costing $668 million. The Bank of China Tower's budget was about one fifth of the budget
allowed by HSBC.
The Hong Kong government had promised HSBC that no tall buildings would ever be built
in front of its headquarters. Besides, in the site of the Bank of China and the harbor,
there were already a few buildings over 70 meters tall views.
Recognizing that going was the only way to create a landmark, Pei came up with
an architectural tower design that was simple, , innovative, and upon its completion, the
tallest building outside of America and the fourth tallest in the world.
After the Bank of China officially moved into the tower in 1991, famous architect and
critic Peter Blake visited the building, and it to be "probably the most innovative
skyscraper structure built anywhere to date." Now the tower has become one of the most
important cultural icons for Hong Kong.

A rare sheep-drawn chariot 36 (unearth) at the western tomb of Emperor
Qinshihuang's Mausoleum site last week in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, 37 helps further
research on ancient Chinese vehicles.
At the burial pit, six sheep were lined up in 38 row. 39 the body of the
chariot has ceased to exist, the accessories (零部件) used for 40 (pull) the chariot were
still preserved on the sheep's bones, so archaeologists inferred that it was a sheep-drawn chariot,
according to Jiang Wenxiao, who is 41 charge of the western tomb's archaeological
excavations, at the 42 (four) China Archaeological Congress 43 (hold) in the
city from Monday to Wednesday.
In ancient China, people often traveled in horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts, so a large
number of such relics have been excavated. The 44 (discover) of a sheep-drawn chariot is
45 (extreme) rare. Emperor Sima Yan of the Western Jin Dynasty (265-316) rode a
sheep-drawn cart every night, and when the cart stopped at a palace, he would sleep there. It was
the first historical record of sheep-drawn chariot.

In the dark forests of Russia, where the snow lies on the ground for eight months of the
year, there are large packs of wolves. It is a fearful thing for the traveler, especially if night falls,
to hear the howls of the hungry wolves as they approach nearer and nearer.
A Russian nobleman, with his wife and his young daughter, was traveling in a sleigh(雪橇)
over a barren plain. Around nightfall they reached an inn, and the nobleman called for more horses
so that he could continue his journey. The innkeeper begged him not to carry on.
“There is danger ahead,” he said.“The wolves are out.” The traveler thought that the man
was telling him this to keep him as a guest for the night. The nobleman replied that it was too
early in the season for wolves. In spite of the innkeeper's repeated warnings, the nobleman and his
family left on their way.
The driver had worked his entire life for the nobleman. He was a loyal man who loved his
master as he loved his own life. The sleigh traveled quickly over the hard snow, and there seemed
to be no signs danger.The moon began to shine, and the road looked like shiny silver.
Suddenly the little girl said to her father,“What is that strange sound I heard just now ” Her
father re-plied,“Nothing but the wind blowing through the trees.” The girl shut her eyes and kept
still for a while.However, in a few minutes, with a face pale with fear, she turned to her father, and
said,“Surely that is not the wind! I heard it again. Listen!” The nobleman listened, and far, far
away in the distance behind him, he heard a howl of the wolves. It was perfectly clear to the
nobleman that a pack of wolves had got their smell,and were chasing(追赶) them.

大学生群体再难通过移居城市找到体面工作并提高收入，处境堪忧。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Even as educational inequality was growing, geographic
答案第 1 页，共 4 页
inequality was growing as well. High-skilled occupations increasingly clustered(聚集)in cities,
while low-skilled service jobs have become more plentiful outside of urban centers. At the same
time, wages for mid-skilled jobs like manufacturing and office work equalized between cities and
rural areas — workers in these jobs can no longer get much of a pay bump by moving into
town.(在教育不平等加剧的同时，地域不平等也在加剧。高技能职业越来越多地集中在城市，
而低技能服务岗位在城市中心之外越来越多。与此同时，制造业和办公室工作等中等技能工
作的工资在城市和农村地区是平等的——这些工作的工人不能再通过搬到城镇来获得太多
的加薪)”可知，越来越多的低技能工人被挡在中产阶级繁荣之外，是由于教育机会分配不均、
低技能服务岗位逐渐被限制在郊区以及低技能工人在城市中心很难获得更高的工资，C 项
“几乎没有与外包和自动化相关的职位空缺”不是其原因。故选 C 项。
13．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Clustering on the other hand, refers to the tendency of
companies within a single industry to want to be near each other.(另一方面，产业集群效应指的

靠近，B 项“一个地区有很多电脑公司”属于产业集群效应。故选 B 项。
14．推理判断题。根据第五段中“As the U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or
automated it, and as consumers have moved from buying more physical goods to buying more
digital services(随着美国经济将制造业转移到海外或将其自动化，随着消费者从购买更多的
实体商品转向购买更多的数字服务)”可知，美国经济在转型，所以作者在最后一句“The
smokestack cities of the last century have given way to tech hubs and financial centers.(上世纪烟
囱林立的城市已经让位于科技中心和金融中心)”提到上世纪烟囱林立的城市已经让位于科
技中心和金融中心，是暗示老工业城市已经转变为知识型城市。故选 D 项。
15．推理判断题。倒数第二段中“One idea is to build lots more housing in cities, driving down
rents and making cities more livable for everyone. Another idea is to use research universities to
revive economically depressed regions by dispersing knowledge workers to less-populated
areas.(一个想法是在城市里建造更多的住房，降低租金，让城市更适合每个人居住。另一种
想法是，利用研究型大学将知识工作者分散到人口较少的地区，从而振兴经济萧条地区)”提
