A Grateful Patient

1 took a job as a receptionist fbr a vet (兽医)almost five decades ago. As an enthusiastic animal lover, I accepted the position

on the condition (21)

(watch) any creature in pain.

At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day (23) a young man ran up to us holding a

I wouldn't have to assist with any wounded animals. I didn't have the courage (22)

verely injured Doberman puppy (杜宾幼犬)in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four-month-old puppy had been

hit by a car.

The doctor and 1 ran back into the operating room. The only place (24) the skin was still attached to his poor

(w)

him little body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what emed like hours, (25)

back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his back. (26)

he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk again.

The day forever changed my life. 1 became the vefs assistant in all things medical. One of my first jobs was to give that

Doberman puppy daily physical therapy. Weeks went by until one day he finally recovered.

Fast-forward about a year. I walked into the clinic's (27)

client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman ran toward me. I found (28)

(crowd) waiting room and called the name of the next

pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog

standing on his back legs, his front paws (爪子)on my shoulders, washing my face with plentiful and joyful kiss!

I still tear up in amazement (29) the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all tho years ago. 1

went on to be a vet technician for 14 years, and since retirement, 1 have volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter. In all the time that

has pasd and all the experiences T have had, T5ve never met a dog who didn't know that it (30)

(rescue) in one way or another.

Marketing the Moon

An astronaut, a little hop and a witty quote: Neil Armstrong's first lunar (月球的)footstep is deep-rooted in the minds of all

humankind. But that first moon landing might not have been such a(n) 31 moment if it weren't for NASA's clever PR (Public

第3页共15页

Relations) team.

Richard Jurek is a marketing 32 and co-author of the book Marketing the Moon: The Selling of the Apollo Lunar Program.

He says NASA's move to real-time, open communication made the 1969 Apollo 11 landing "the first positive viral event that 33

the world's attention."

Before NASA was established in 1958, rockets were the military's territory; that cretiveness carried over into the space

agency's early days. At first, NASA followed a "fire in the tail" rule, only 34 a rockefs launch when it was successfully in the air.

But as the agency evolved, it started announcing more details about the Apollo program. It _35 its astronauts, talked openly about

mission goals and challenges, and shared launch times so people could watch. “Tf it had been run like it was under the

military,Jurek says, “we would not have had that n of drama, that n of involvement, that n of wonder, that 36 Instead,

all the PR and press promotion in the years ahead of Apollo 11 brought the human spaceflight program into people's living rooms

and imaginations.

As the drama neared its peak, NASA's PR officials pushed for live TV broadcasts of the first humans to walk on the moon.

Not everyone thought it was a good idea. The technology for live lunar broadcasts, and cameras small enough to keep the cargo

37 „ didn't exist at that point. Some engineers worried that developing that equipment would _38 from efforts to achieve the landing

itlf. But NASA's communications team argued that telling the story was as vital as the 39 itlf. Live TV would bring the

American people一and international viewers一along fbr the ride.

Come landing day, which 40 fell on a Sunday, more than half a billion people worldwide crowded around TVs and radios fbr

the historic moment. "We were able to come together and do something that was exciting and interesting and brought the world

together," says David Meerman Scott, marketing strategist and co-author of Marketing the Moon. "I don't know that we've done

anything like that since."

TTT. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phras marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank

with the word or phra that best fits the context.

Ancient creatures likely evolved the stress respon to better escape from hunters. But today its caus include traffic,

deadlines and first dates. According to a 2018 American Psychological Association survey of more than 3,000 people, the top 41

are work, money, the economy and health.

Although everyone faces stress, people react to it 42 . "There's the situation, how we 43 the situation, and then our skills at

handling the situation," says psychologist William Lovallo of the University of Oklahoma. __44 experiences help us asss

appropriate respons, so most people improve with age. "A high school student or a college student might not have tho 45 skills

and might let a situation get out of hand," he adds.

Most 46 have normal stress respons, regulated to give the right burst of hormones （激素）and bodily changes for a

particular stressor. But others always over-or underreact, which may be a warning sign for physical or mental 47 . To study this,

scientists often monitor cortisol （皮质醇）or heart rate variations throughout the day and during trying tasks.

48 the intensity of the respons ems to be t from a young age. Studies have shown that people who experienced

childhood hardships一including physical punishment and a（n） 49 home一are more likely to have

quiet stress reactions as adults. For example, as part of a study published in 2012, Lovallo expod 354 participants to moderate

stress. People who lf-reported early-life 50 actually had lower heart rates and cortisol levels than other participants. While the

study tasks were not important, the individuals' underreactions suggest their stress respon may also have trouble 51 when it really

matters. Tt can be just as 52 as an extreme respon. Other rearch has found links between childhood conflict, abnormally low

adult stress and substance misu. Though the biology is not fully understood, it's suggested that early-life neglect or suffering 53

the body's stress pathways.

Even before birth, a child can 54 parental stress. The phenomenon is well-demonstrated in rats and mice, and some papers

have shown the same association 55

for well over a century. No one really knows how old the tree is, but it was already there when builders started on the hou at the

(C)

An epidemic is the occurrence of a dia which affects a very large number of people living in an area and which spreads

quickly to other people. Like infectious dias, ideas in the academic world are spreadable. But why some travel far and wide

while equally good ones remain in relative insignificance has been a mystery. Now a team of computer scientists has ud an

epidemiological model to imitate how ideas move from one academic institution to another. The model showed that ideas

originating at famous institutions caud bigger "epidemics" than equally good ideas from less well-known places, explains Allison

Morgan, a computer scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder and lead author of the new study. "This implies that where an

第7页共15页

idea is born shapes how far it spreads, holding the quality of the idea constant." says nior author Aaron Claut, also at Boulder.

Not only is this unfair~~''it reveals a big weakness in how we're doing science," says Simon DeDeo, a professor of social and

decision sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, who was not involved in the study. There are many highly trained people with

good ideas who do not end up at top institutions. "They are producing good ideas, and we know tho ideas are getting lost,"

DeDeo says. "Our science, our scholarship, is not as good becau of this.,,

The Colorado rearchers analyzed an existing data t of computer science department hires in North America, as well as a

databa of publications by the hires. First they looked at how five big ideas in computer science spread to new institutions.

They found that hiring a new member accounted for this movement a little more than a third of the time一and in 81 percent of

tho cas, transfers took place from higher-to lower-status universities. Then the team imitated the broadcasting of ideas using

an infectious dia model and found that the size of an idea "epidemic" (as measured by the number of institutions that published

studies on an idea after it originated) depended on the status of the originating institution. The findings were published online last

October in EP J Data Science.

The rearchers9 model suggests that there "may be a number of quite good ideas that originate in the middle of the pack, in

terms of universities,Claut says. DeDeo agrees. There is a lot of good work coming out of less famous places, he says: "You can

learn a huge amount from it, and you can learn things that other people don't know becau they're not even paying attention.,,

63. The word "this" in paragraph 2 refers to the fact that .

A. the time when good ideas were born decides how far they may spread

B. the quality of the original ideas tends to be not easy to maintain

C. good ideas from less important institutions lack influence

D. scholars in insignificant institutions consider their ideas valueless

64. The ca of some hires in paragraph 3 is ud to indicate

B. why the originating institutions transfer their new findings

C. how they carry the ideas from lower- to higher-status institutions

D. the way the movements of some new ideas happen and their effects

65. Rearchers such as Claut are very much concerned about

A. losing quite a number of great and creative thoughts

B. missing the opportunities of getting more well-known

C. misusing the epidemiological model in scientific rearch areas

D. having difficulty in finding more proper science department hires

66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. Infectious Dias B. Original Ideas C. Idea Epidemic D. Epidemiological Model

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper ntence given in the box. Each ntence can be ud

only once. Note that there are two more ntences than you need.

.

A. the statistics the epidemiological model provides for the rearchers

A. So we try to push back the tide and keep up by multi-tasking.

B. No wonder people say they're too busy to e friends, exerci or sleep.

C. Would it surpri you to hear that we have more leisure time today than ever?

D. How can we learn to spend time in a way thafs more likely to lead to happiness and success?

E. Ifs something that economists have been puzzling over and they've identified veral reasons.

F. Then you will have fewer empty experiences and far more that are worthy of your precious time.

The Fullness of Time

Most of us think we have very little time, but the truth is we actually have a lot一on average, five hours 49 minutes each

day, which means we typically have somewhere between 36 and 40 hours available to be spent every week however we want. So

why don't we feel time-rich? 67

One is that we earn more, so time feels more expensive. Then there's the way we've come to e busyness as a status symbol:

important people are busy, so we want to be busy, too. Add to that the flood of incoming emails and texts, along with the endless

ocean of possibilities, and it's easy to e where time goes.

A cond factor is the comparison we make between what we can do and what others are doing, making us anxious.

68 This fools us into thinking we're being more productive with our work time, so we try to do it with our leisure time, too. When

we're playing with our kids, we check Facebook. When we're hanging out with one group of friends, we post pictures to show

another. This is something sociologists call "polluted time'.

We're also addicted to our devices. In 2007, the amount of leisure time we spent on devices like smartphones could be

measured in minutes. Now, we spend on average 3.5 hours a day online. 69

You might be wondering why you need help deciding how to spend your free time—after all you know the sort of things you

enjoy, so what could be so difficult? Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has a surprising opinion on it. “The popular assumption

is that no skills are involved in enjoying free time, anybody can do it. Yet the evidence suggests the opposite; free time is more

difficult to enjoy than work." Worryingly, scientists have found that people are often no happier after a holiday than if they'd never

taken one. 70 The question still remains unttled.

TV. Summary Writing

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60

words. U your own words as far as possible.

Cryptocurrency （加密货币）

Making payments online is very easy the days if you have a credit card or a bank card that us a payment network. Sending

money online to a friend, you have to u a payment rvice like Google Pay or PayPal, or make a bank transfer. However, there

is usually a significant delay before the receiver can u the money, and transfers can have sizeable fees.

In 2008, a group of people published a paper describing a process that would u cryptograph （密码学）to create a cure

electronic cash system, known as a cryptocurrency. Person-to-person payments could be made online using a shared network of

computers instead of a bank or other financial organization. Each transaction could happen very quickly. The shared network of

computers would also rve as the means to confirm tho transactions safely. Getting rid of the need for a centralized banking

第9页共15页

system would open up the possibility for anyone to become part of the digital economy.

Today, there are over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. Most are still trying to be valid global payment systems like

Bitcoin. They are held back by problems affecting the entire cryptocurrency industry. One issue is weak curity on cryptocurrency

websites where urs either store their electronic cash in virtual "wallets" or exchange one kind of electronic cash for another.

However, clever thieves have broken into many of the websites and stolen electronic cash. The websites are struggling to protect

their urs from such thefts.

Another problem is the large number of fal cryptocurrencies advertid on the Internet. The advertiments invite Internet

urs to visit websites offering new cryptocurrencies. Many visitors are persuaded to buy their cryptocurrencies using actual money.

Later, the websites disappear along with the victims, money. Tn respon to this problem, companies like Facebook and Google

are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.第10页共15页

Now that you've listened to me talk about all the rewarding aspects of competitive swimming, I'd 1

汰e to talk to you about

some of the sacrifices necessary to become a devoted swimmer. Competitive swimming is one of the most demanding of all

sports. Since all of you today are interested in joining the swim team, you might be wondering where your training here can lead.

Thafs a good question and not a very easy one to answer. Tn fact, many people will drop out of the sport after joining the

team. There are probably two major reasons for this. The first is financial. Unlike runners, tennis players, or golfers, swimmers

cannot make much money in their sport. Swimmers compete fbr the pleasure and the glory of winning. The athletic scholarships

the college awards to the top swimmer are probably the highest financial rewards the swimmers receive fbr their swimming

abilities. The cond reason is a physical one. Most top competitive swimmers undergo painful training four hours a day, eleven

months out of the year. For most swimmers, this type of schedule is too demanding in terms of time and too exhausting in terms

of physical energy.

So, knowing all this, if you are still enthusiastic about competitive swimming, I'd like to hand out this schedule of tryouts.

Questions 14 through 17 are bad on the following passage.

WildTrack is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals. They u a computer program that allows scientists to

know where individual animals go. However, the program itlf needs training.

It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in cage. As people nd in photos of tracks from

animals in the wild, the program can compare them to tracks from animals that are already known. As the program becomes more

accurate, WildTrack hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.

Anyone can help WildTrack by taking images of tracks and nding them to a partner organization called . The

only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint

and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or

cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit and follow the

instructions on the site to nd your photo.

WildTrack needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in cage but also tho living in the wild. In wild places, you

should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to

you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.

Write it on a computer and only write what is important for this job.
