I come from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong 36 , and talks at the same time, and no one has a 37 leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even 38 with each other on different topics. 39 a family like mine has made me more 40 about the world around me, making me tend to question anything anyone tells me. But it has also made me realize that I’m not a good listener. And when I say “listening”, I’m not
41 to the nodding-your-head-and- 42 -answering-Uh-huh-or-Ooh-I-see variety. I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply 43 with the person you’re speaking with, when his story becomes so 44 that your world becomes less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.
I spent summer in South Africa two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit organization called Noah, which works 45 on behalf of children affected by AIDS. But 46 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, I’d tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I 47 , but mostly listened.
And had I not spent two months 48 , I might have missed the 49 moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noah’s community centers, orphaned(孤儿)at the age of three, whispered after a long
50 , “I love you.”
51 that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their 52 and nod and respond at the 53 time—but most of the time I was 54 about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that it’s in those moments when my mouth is closed and my 55 is wide open that I’ve learned the most about other people, and perhaps
about myself.

A
Over the years, the term Wall Street has come to represent the world of high finance, but it’s also just a street! And before that, it was actually a wall--hence the name. The wall used to protect New Yorkers from attacks by Native American Indians. But eventually, the English knocked the wall down. There are a number of important landmarks on Wall Street. Here are a few of them.
TRINITY CHURCH Trinity Church is located at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway. The original church was destroyed in the Great New York City fire of 1776. The current church was built in 1846. These days, Trinity Church has several choirs, and offers free classical and contemporary music concerts.
FEDERAL HALL NATIONAL MEMORIAL Federal Hall was built in 1700 as New York’s City Hall. Later, it became the first capitol building of the United States of America. It was the place where George Washington was inaugurated as the first president of the United States in 1789, and it is also where the United States Bill of Rights was drafted. These days, the building is run by the National Park Service as a museum commemorating the historic events.
THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE The New York Stock Exchange is a neo-classical building located at 11 Wall Street. It is the world’s largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies. You can visit the building and watch from the third floor as traders buy and sell shares from companies around the world.
BANKERS TRUST COMPANY BUILDING
At 14 Wall Street you can find the Bankers Trust Company Building. It’s a
227-metre skyscraper that occupies an entire block. The building was originally the headquarters of Bankers Trust. These days, it serves as the American headquarters of Deutsche Bank.
56. How did Wall Street acquire its name?
A. Local New Yorkers named it after a certain man. B. Some Native American Indians gave it the name.
C. The street got its name due to the original architecture there.
D. The English adopted the name in memory of the original wall.
57. Among the important landmarks, which used to stage certain political events?
A. Trinity Church.
B. Federal Hall National Memorial. C. The New York Stock Exchange.
D. Bankers Trust Company Building.
B
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars (and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take
public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing (叫车)
services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer
emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology
as well as liability and maintenance issues (责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could
increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.
58. As for driverless cars, what is the author’s major concern?
A. Safety. B. Side effects. C. Management. D. Affordability.
59. What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Shared. B. Replaced. C. Reduced. D. Employed.
60. What is the author’s attitude to the future of self-driving cars?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.
C
You’re walking down a quiet street and suddenly you hear some footsteps. Undoubtedly, it means that there’s someone around. But have you ever wondered why it occurs to us that it’s someone else’s footsteps, not ours?
According to a new study published in the journal Nature in September, this phenomenon arises from a function in our brain to ignore the noise we make ourselves.
In order to explore how our brain does this, a group of scientists carried out an experiment with mice at Duke University. The research entered on an intuition—that we are usually unaware of the sound of our own footsteps—as a vehicle for understanding larger neural phenomena; how this behavior reveals the ability to monitor, recognize, and remember the sound of one’s own movements in relation to those of their larger environments.
In the experiment, research controlled the sounds of a group of mice could hear, reported Science Daily. During the first several days, the mice would hear the same sound each time they took a step. This was just like “running on a tiny piano with each key playing exactly the same note”, senior study author Richard Mooney, a professor of neurobiology at Duke University, told Live Science.
Scientists found that their auditory cortex (听觉皮层) – the area of the brain that processes sound –
became active at first but decreased its response to the sound after two or three minutes when the mice became familiar with it.
“ It’s almost like they were wearing special headphones that could filter (过滤) out the sound of their
own movements.” David Schneider, an assistant professor at the Center for Neutral Science at New York
University, told HuffPost.
But once the sound changed, their auditory cortex became active again. This suggests that the “sensory filter” in a mouse’s brain could help it detect new sounds or abnormal noise in the environment easily after tuning out familiar sounds.
“For mice, this is really important,” said Schneider. “They are prey animals, so they really need to be
able to listen for a cat creeping up on them, even when they’re walking and making noise.
Being able to ignore the sounds of one’s own movements is likely important for humans as well. But the ability to predict the sounds of our own actions is also important for more complex human behaviors such as speaking or playing an instrument.
“When we learn to speak or to play music, we predict what sounds we are going to hear – such as when we prepare to strike keys on a piano – and we compare this to what we actually hear, ”explains Schneider. “We use mismatches between expectation and experience to change how we play – and we get better over time because our brain is trying to minimize these errors.”
61. What can be discovered about mice in the experiment?
A. Their brain responds inactively to the familiar sounds
B. They are able to detect sounds other animals don’t notice.
C. They cannot identify different sounds except their own footsteps. D. Different areas of their brain are responsible for different sounds.
62. What’s the function of the sensory filter?
A. Ignoring the sounds made by our companions. B. Getting used to abnormal or unfamiliar sounds.
C. Identifying the sounds from a larger environment.
D. Being sensitive to the sounds of our own movement.
63. Why can a good symphony conductor immediately recognize it when a wrong note is played?
A. He has the ability to match the wrong note with the instrument player.
B. He has an intuition that he should ignore the sound of his own movement.
C. He has a low expectation and knows where players are likely to make errors. D. He has a good prediction of how each note should be played in the orchestra.
64. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Noise-filtering ability ensures us a quiet and undisturbed environment. B. The ability to ignore familiar noises helps to detect potential dangers. C. The activeness of auditory cortex determines our activity performance.
D. Sound-predicting ability seems not so important for humans as for animals.

Recently I rolled into a local restaurant to try an Impossible Burger, an all-plant meat-like pie invented by the Silicon Valley company Impossible Foods. It’s famous for having a weirdly chewy, even
bloody, meat-like quality, a surprising verisimilitude (逼真) that has made it “perhaps the country’s
most famous burger,” as New York magazine recently wrote. One bite into its gorgeous, smoky flavor, and I was convinced.
This is good news, because the time has come to mass-produce fake meat, fast. Why? Because in the fight to ease climate change, meat replacement is one of the lowest-hanging fruits.
Meat production chews up land and lets out methane(沼气) by the kiloton, accounting for about
two-thirds of all greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. A University of Oxford study recently found that, to keep global warming below 2 degrees this century, we need to be eating 75 percent less beef and 90 percent less pork globally. “Without concentrated change, we really risk going beyond key

)
environmental limits,” Marco Springmann, one of the Oxford researchers, warns me.
Diets are culturally enshrined(神圣的), so changing them will be hard. Fake meat can help camouflage(掩饰) that dramatic transformation with slight adjustment.
Still, even the most exceptional substitutes for meat face a huge challenge if they’re going to replace 75 to 90 percent of beef and pork. The first taste of an Impossible Burger—a moment when low expectations work a powerful magic in the product’s favor—is one thing. But how do you keep meat-eaters asking for more after their sixth, and their 26th?
Fortunately, the science here is playing an important role. Impossible Foods owes much of its appeal to a bioengineering process that turns out big, blood-red tanks of “heme,” a crucial molecule that
gives veggie(素食主义者) meat “that slightly metallic bloody flavor,” as David Lipman, chief science
officer of Impossible Foods, tells me. Meanwhile, “cultured meat,” created by growing actual animal cells in a basin, is becoming a reality. In New York, the scientists at Ocean Hugger Foods have engineered a process to transform tomatoes into mock tuna. And over in the Netherlands, a company called The Vegetarian Butcher is developing a Nespresso-style device: You pour in a bag of vegetable protein and out pops fake meat. The company aims to release it in two years.
To get to true mass adoption, fake meat will need to compete favorably with the real thing on multiple fronts. Impossible Foods’ goal is to drive the price of its product below that of Safeway’s 80/20 hamburger meat, at which point people will simply vote with their wallets. The new industry also wants to improve on animal flesh in various ways. Fake meat will outcompete traditional meat because “you won’t need to refrigerate it if you’re making it as you go,” co-founder Niko Koffeman says. That’d give unmeat an enormous advantage for energy-poor developing regions. Plus, fake meat could provide more choices. “You could have very soft and tender meat for elderly people,” Koffeman adds. “You could have a custom meat for whatever you need.”
We could speed this dietary shift with smart public policy too. Beginning in 2006, New York City cut the number of adults consuming one or more sugary drinks per day by 35 percent by running appealing public service campaigns and requiring the labeling of their high calorie counts in fast-food restaurants. Imagine similar measures promoting fake meat: “Save the planet, bite by bite.” Save your health too. Speaking of your conscience, industrial-scale animal farming is ethically unpleasant.
You can tell the world is shifting this way, because the ranchers (牧场主) are nervous. Last year,
the US Cattlemen’s Association asked the government to define “meat” as a product “obtained directly from animals.” That anxiety, which is no doubt caused by science, goes to show that this grand shift isn’t impossible.
65. The author was convinced by the Impossible Burger because _.
A. it looks like a traditional meat burger
B. it contains no meat but tastes like meat
C. its flavor is different from that of normal ones
D. more vegetables are used in the burger
66. What does the author mean by saying “lowest hanging fruits” in paragraph 2?
A. A task that is difficult to fulfill. B. An approach that is economical.
C. A goal that is easy to achieve.
D. A product that is environment-friendly.
67. The author is most likely to agree that _.
A. fake meat cannot change people’s dietary habits
B. fake meat is worthy of investment for its great potential
C. a decline in meat consumption can relieve global warming
D. fake meat will replace real meat because of its lower price
68. Fake meat has an advantage over traditional meat in that .
A. fake meat will not be necessarily stored in a refrigerator
B. the price of fake meat will be one-fourth of the traditional meat’s
C. fake meat will win over the older people thanks to its quality
D. fake meat has a bloody flavor that is not found in traditional meat
69. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The US government doesn’t give enough support to ranchers. B. The world will probably accept the idea of fake meat.
C. People don’t like to eat meat produced by the ranchers now.
D. The definition of meat has been revised because of fake meat.
70. Which is probably the suitable title for the passage?
A. Fake meat or traditional meat, must we choose? B. Traditional meat, an environment killer.
C. Let’s speed up the dietary shift. D. Let’s welcome the fake meat.

One of the most efficient ways to promote peace and jump-start flagging economies is to empower
girls and invest in their education. Today, girls’ lack of access to basic education is compounded when it
comes to the use of digital technology, leaving them far behind boys. And because the world is ever more digital, those who lack basic Internet skills will find it increasingly more difficult to participate in the formal economy, to obtain a quality education, to access health care, information and psychosocial support, to have their voices heard.
Since 2013 the global gender gap in male and female access to the Internet has actually increased from 11 to 12 percent. Worse yet, women and girls living in the poorest countries are 31 percent less likely than men and boys to have access to the Internet. In developing countries, some 200 million fewer women than men own a mobile phone, the most common means of Internet access there. This digital divide is increasing, and should it continue at the present pace, it is projected that over 75 percent of women and girls will lack internet access and digital skills.
There are many causes for the digital gender gap. They include girls’ exclusion from basic education writ large, from specific technology education and design, high costs of both devices and Internet access, scarcity of content relevant for women and girls, and socio-cultural biases and discrimination, such as barriers to women speaking freely and privately both online and offline. Indeed, one of the most insidious reasons why girls may be discouraged from learning how to access and use digital technology is also a groundless one: that girls are simply not good at using technology.
The United Nations has affirmed that human rights online are human rights offline. These stereotypes reinforce harmful norms that keep women and girls from enjoying their human rights.
According to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, an independent, non-profit and non-governmental research organization, the gender digital divide is a major roadblock to women’s economic empowerment and participation in the economy. Without a major increase of policy effort and investment, most of the benefits of technological change will be enjoyed only by men, worsening gender inequality.

One possible version：
A research, which involves thousands of subjects aged 10-90, reveals that people reach different capacity peaks at different ages with teenagers blessed with good memories and the elderly possessing a large vocabulary. (32 words)
The remarkable findings of the research are extremely beneficial. To begin with, clearly understanding their own strengths, people of different ages can develop their potential to the fullest. For instance, middle-aged adults have the greatest capacity to stay focused and work out arithematic problems. Furthermore, the findings will boost confidence of the aged, who find their ability in vocabulary reaching a new high.
As a teenager, I shall make the most of my memory peak to gain an edge over others. Skills like critical thinking and analysis can only develop on the basis of factual knowledge. Therefore, I’ll spare no effort to expose myself to books and memorize as much as possible. Hopefully, my memory peak will lay a solid foundation for my overall growth. (123 words)

M: I have an appointment to see Dr. Green.
W: Please wait here, that is, the doctor’s office. He is doing an operation in that building right now. You can meet him before he enters the professor’s office.
Text2
M: What would you like for your birthday, Sis?
W: The iPhone 11.
M: That’s a pretty expensive gift! Do you think Mom and Dad will buy it for you?
W: No, but I’m hoping Aunt Jessy will.
Text3
M: I don’t want to eat another sandwich for lunch.
W: Me neither. Shall we eat noodles?
M: OK, though I was thinking of pizza.
Text4
M: I am looking for someone who has taken care of elderly people before. Do you have any experience?
W: I’m sorry. My experience is with small children. I’m afraid I will not be suitable for the job.
Text5
M: Excuse me. How much is the ticket for the film?
W: The full price is 35 dollars. For students, it is 10 dollars off.
M: OK. Can I have two tickets, please? Here are our student cards.
Text6
M: Hello.
W: Good morning. I’m phoning about your flat for rent. Could you tell me more about it?
M: Certainly. It’s a two-bedroom flat on the ground floor. It’s very close to stores and restaurants. The movie theater and the park are further away, but the flat is within walking distance of public transportation.
W: Hmm, very good. Is the flat furnished or unfurnished?
M: Fully furnished.
W: Great. I’d like to come and see it. When would it be convenient?
M: Well, let me have a check.
Text7
W: Can I help you? It looks like you’re working hard.
M: I’m planning the class graduation party. Want to help?
W: Sure. Do you need help with food, entertainment, or setting up the room?
M: You can help me with the food, I think.
W: OK. Is the party going to be formal?
M: Let’s make it informal. After all, we’re inviting our parents. They might like a break from dressing up for work.
W: OK. What kind of food should I buy? Chinese? Western? Indian? Thai?
M: We should probably have both of the first two.
W: Those will be easy to get.
M: I’m trying to decide if we should have games or a singing contest.
W: Maybe we could do both!
Text 8
W: Your backpack seems very heavy. I’m afraid that you will have to have it checked.
M: No problem. What about this small bag?
W: You can take it with you. What kind of seat would you like, one next to the window or one in the middle?
M: I’d like to have a good view from the window during the flight.
W: I’ll give you a seat next to the window in the right row. And here is your ticket, boarding pass and luggage check. Please get on the plane at Gate 20.
M: Thank you. And what is the latest time for me to get on the plane?
W: At 10 o’clock, fifteen minutes before the plane takes off. The plane is leaving on time.
M: Thank you very much.
W: You’re welcome. Have a nice trip!
Text 9
W: Hi, there! Did you have any questions about our bikes?
M: Yeah. Do you work on bicycles in addition to selling them?
W: Oh, yes, we can handle any repairs you may need.
M: That’s great, but what I need is not exactly a repair. My cousin gave me a road bike, but I’m not tall
enough to ride it. Can you put smaller wheels on it?
W: We could do that, but I wouldn’t recommend it, because you would have to use your legs more to go
the same distance. You’d be better off buying a bike that’s the right size for you.
M: I was afraid you’d say that. You see, my cousin’s bike is a very expensive model. It’s a really nice
bike.
W: Have you considered trading the bike in? We do buy and sell used bikes, and I can give you a fair
price for any trade-in.
M: Really? That would be great! How much can you give me for the bike?
W: If it’s in good shape, probably at least 50% of its original value.
M: Terrific! If you’re here tomorrow, I’ll bring it in then.
W: OK.

W: Welcome to the Lego Toy Factory. We started making the toy here in 1949. Here is a display of Windsor Castle, in England. This is the Empire State Building in the United States, made up of 10,000 pieces. You can see similar displays in stores around the world. You are standing in the original factory where Lego was born, right here in Denmark. The first thing you will notice is that they are made entirely by machines. There are about 1,000 in total. The bricks start out as tiny pieces of plastic in these 14 different colored tubes. Then the plastic is melted at 200 degrees. Next, we cool them and shape them into different sizes. This process takes about 10 seconds. We make about 200 million pieces every hour and 15 billion per year. This is Roger, the creative mind behind all our Lego sets and creations. He is one of only ten people that work at factory every day. This includes those who repair the machines and our cleaning staff. The only other people here are the thousands of little yellow men and women we make every hour. Amazing, isn’t it?
