The amount of snow in an avalanche (21) __________ (vary) based on many things, but it can be such a huge amount that it can bury the bottom of a slope in dozens of feet of snow.

Avalanches (22) __________ be caused by natural things. For example, new snow or rain can cause built-up snow to loosen and fall down the side of a mountain.

Directions: Fill in each blank with. a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used

Under the terms of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Tready（不扩散核武器条约）, only five countries are considered to be “nuclear - weapon states.”China is one of them. This military achievement would have been 31 without the contribution of Deng Jiaxian, a leading or ganizer of China’s nuclear weapon programs.

Deng went to the United States in 1948 for further study, and received a doctorate in physics two years later. Just nine days after graduation, the then 26-year-old returned to the newly - founded People’s Republic of China with

32 physics knowledge. He became a research fellow under the leadership of Qian Sanqiang and started his theoretical nuclear research in cooperation with Yu Min.

From 1958 on, Deng spent over 20 years working 33 with a team of young scientists on the development of China’s first atomic and hydrogen bombs. Originally, they were prepared to

receive training by experts from the Soviet Union. Soon after, however, the Soviet government tore up its 34 with China and removed all its experts. Deng had to lead the team of 28 members with an average age of 23 on a mission to 35 the mysterious power of atomic physics.

There was ridicule（嘲笑）following the 36 of the Soviet experts that China wouldn’t be able to build an atomic bomb within 20 years. Deng said to his colleagues, “It is in the interest of the Chinese people to develop nuclear weapons. We must be willing to be unknown heroes for our lifetime. It is worth the risk of suffering, and it is worth our 37 to this cause.”

As the leader of China’s atomic bomb design, Deng gave lessons himself and organized a team to translate and study the 38 foreign language materials. In the meantime, he never stopped thinking about the direction of atomic bomb development.

Following the successful test of the first atomic bomb in 1964, Deng joined the research group led by Yu Min. They immediately started the design of the hydrogen bomb, which was 39 in 1967. From the first atomic bomb to the first hydrogen bomb, China spent only two years and eight months on development.

Deng passed away in 1986 because of cancer. In the last month of his life, the 28-year secret experience of this great scientist was 40 , and his reputation began to spread throughout China. In 1999, along with 22 other scientists, he was awarded the special prize of “Two Bombs, One Satellite Meritorious Medal” for his contribut ion to Chinese military science.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A (15分)

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the content.

In the Fake News Era, Building Trust with Consumers Is Crucial With consumers growing increasingly frustrated with online advertising and privacy concerns, how to you convince shoppers to buy your narrative（叙述）, let alone your product?

A recent report by Trust-Radius, a software review company that connects buyers and vendors (供应商), may be able to shed some light. Among other interesting findings, it turns out that it may actually benefit brands to be painfully 41 about their products.

Consumer awareness of influencer marketing tactics（策略）is increasing. 42 , according to the report, most consumers trust online peer 43 as much as recommendations from friends -- and well above company advertising message. Feedback from everyday folks, it seems, actually carries more 44 than a brand ambassador(大使) from an out-of-reach personality.

Transparency(透明度) is crucial The report found that there is a large trust 45 between vendors and buyers. While vendors believe they are transparent, most buyers don’t appear to see it. During the sales process, for example, 85 percent of vendors -- 46 to be open about their product’s limitations during the sales process -- but only 36 percent of buyers share that same view. The reality is, consumers don’t expect any products to be 47 -- they just want to enter relationships with their eyes wide open so that they can 48 the options that are best for them. They also want brands to be more 49 . 66 percent of consumers say they will leave a company if they feel they are being treated like a number and not an individual.

Along with the combination of take news, advertising fraud, and data leaks, there have been

fake reviews as well. Review sites have been 50 giving preferential（优惠的）treatment to paid advertisers, and consumers are increasingly discerning（有辨别力的）, as a result. 51 , review sites are not our only source of peer reviews, with social media providing customer experiences on a second - to - second basis. When brands treat every 52 with a customer as a potential review, they’ll start paying more attention to detail, and being alert to delivering a valued and memorable experience every time. Taking feedback seriously also lets current customers feel valued and respected and makes your business seem more approachable. This helps secure 53 , and often, these customers will become brand ambassadors to their friends, family and people they meet online.

The challenge for brands today is determining how to use the 54 of the consumer to their advantage. In an age of cutting - edge technology, artificial intelligence, and self-service customer care, it’s odd to acknowledge that the best way to build trust with your customers is by holding an open 55 with your customers. Being more human, transparent, and listening to what people are saying will see your company thrive in an era marked by consumer suspicion.

Section B (22分)

Directions:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

As humanity has got richer, animal’s roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine（内燃机）made horses unneeded; modern sanitation（卫生设备）kept rats in check and made cats less useful. No longer necessities, domestic animals became luxuries. Pet-keeping seems to kick in when household incomes rise above roughly $5,000. It is booming.

The trend is not a new one. Archaeologists（考古学家）have found 10,000-year-old graves in which dogs and people are buried together. Some cultures -- such as in Scandinavia, where dogs have long been both working dogs and companions -- have kept pets for thousands of years. But

these days the pet-keeping urge has spread even to parts of the world which have no tradition of sinking into a comfortable chair with a furry creature.

The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food - waste - recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet - food shelves are full of delicacies crafted to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion; a number of internet services offer food, tailored to the pet’s individual tastes. In the business this is called “pet humanisation” -- the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is evident in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex and Spot to -- in America -- Bella, Lucy and Max. It is evident in the growing market for pet clothing, pet grooming and pet hotels.

People still assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests that dogs have evolved those irresistible “puppy - dog eyes” precisely to affect human emotions. It has worked. The species that once enslaved others now works very hard to pay for the care of its pets. Sentimental（多愁善感的）Americans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cat’s “mommy”or “daddy”. South Koreans go one further, describing themselves as cat “butlers”. Watch an unlucky dog-walker trailing “his”hound（猎犬）, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and you have to wonder: who’s in charge now?

56. Which of the following trends is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. People’s needs for animal services are decreasing.

B. Both the pet number and the pet business are growing.

C. Pets are increasingly making their owners less anxious.

D. Pet foods are more various and customized than before.

57. Which of the following is referred to as evidence of “pet humanization?”

A. The names given to pets in American families nowadays.

B. Pet’s inbuilt ability to affect emotions of their owners.

C. Human beings ever rising urge for pet-keeping.

D. Pet’s roles as both working staff and companions.

58. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with?

A. Pets should be treated as equals of their human masters.

B. Human beings are getting much benefit from their pets.

C. Pet-keeping is still restricted within certain parts of the world.

D. Some pet owners spend too much money on their pets.

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

A. The Changing Roles of Animals

B. The Urge for Pet-keeping

C. Who Owns Whom

D. Love Me, Love My Dog

60. All the following are true EXCEPT ______.

A. It is easy to get rid of depression through tremendous determination.

B. Sleep disorder is characteristic of depression symptoms.

C. Depression can be caused by combination of factors.

D. Depression is a psychological state taking the form of low mood.

61. What can we learn about Prozac from this piece of information?

A. Prozac is a newly developed drug to treat depression.

B. patients who take Prozac can experience severe side a effects.

C. A medical prescription is necessary for Prozac.

D. Over 17 million Americans have been cured by Prozac.

62. This piece of information is most probably ______.

A. an introduction to a scientific project

B. a part of prescription drug instructions

C. a part of a research report in a medical journal

D. an advertisement of a medicine for depression

(C)

Learning a second language is tricky at any age (and it only gets tougher the longer you wait to open that dusty French book). Now, in a new study, scientists have pinpointed the exact age at which your chances of reading fluency in a second language seems to plummet: 10.

The study, published in the journal Cognition, found that it’s “nearly impossible” for language learners to reach native - level fluency if they start learning a second tongue after 10. But that doesn’t seem to be because language skills go downhill. “It turns out you’re still learning fast. It’s just that you run out of time, because your ability to learn starts dropping at around 17 or 18

years old,” says study co-author Joshua Hartshorne, an assistant professor of psychology at Boston College.

Kids ma y be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Children’s brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning they’re better able to adapt and respond to new information. “All learning involves the brain changing,” Hartshorne says, “and children’s brains seem to be a lot more skilled at changing.”

Kids may also be more willing to try new things (and to potentially look foolish in the process) than adults are. Their comparatively new grasp on their native tongue may also be advantageous. Unlike adults, who tend to default（默认）to the rules and patterns of their first language, kids may be able to approach a new one with a blank slate（石板）.

These findings may seems discouraging, but it was heartening for scientists to learn that the critical period for fluent language acquisition might be longer than they previously thought. Some scientists believed that the brief window closes shortly after birth, while others stretched it only to early adolescence. Compared to those estimates, 17 or 18 -- when language learning ability starts to drop off -- seems relatively old.

“People fared better when they learned by immersion（沉浸）, rather than simply in a classroom. And moving to a place where our desired language is spoken is the best way to learn as an adult. If that’s not an option, you can mimic an immersive environment by finding ways to have conversations with native speakers in their own communities,” Hartshorne says. By doing so, it’s possible to become conversationally proficient -- even without the advantage of a child’s brain.

63. The word “plummet” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”.

A. plunge

B. rise

C. end

D. vary

64. What can be inferred from Joshua Hartshorne’s words?

A. Age 10 -18 is the best time to learn a second language.

B. Children are too young to grasp a second language.

C. Communicating with native speakers enables you to master all the language skills.

D. Adults go beyond the critical period for learning a second language.

65. What might be the reason why ad ults can’t reach native - level fluency in a second language.

A. Adults are less influenced by their mother tongues

B. Adults are only too willing to experience something awkward in the process.

C. Adults spend more time responding to new information.

D. Adults prefer an immersive environment to a classroom in learning a second language.

66. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the approaches to learning a second language

B. the best age to learn a second language.

C. why kids learn a second language more easily than adults

D. whether adults can learn a second language like their younger selves

Section C (8分)

Directions:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

Search for a Human Face for Robots

Looking for a $130,000 payday? Geomiq, a British engineering and manufacturing firm is searching for a “kind and friendly”face to be the face of a robot once it goes into production. “This will entail（需要）the selected person’s face being reproduced on potentially thousands of versions of the robots worldwide,” Geomiq says in a blog post about the project.

Robots have been at the forefront of technology for decades, and are widely considered the future of our technological advancement. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, according to some estimates, robots designed to keep the elderly company are becoming increasingly common. (67) __________ They do things like responding to voice commands, offering proactive（积极主动的）notifications and advice and letting relatives monitor conditions at home. There is still a long way to go but new robotic products are coming into fruition all the time. Geomiq says the robot line has been in the works for five years and will result in a companion for seniors.

The desi gner has noted in an interview with a select press pool that they can’t release too many details at this stage. (68) __________ The designer has also stressed that unsuccessful candidates will not be contacted. The company says the need for anonymity（匿名）is due to the secretive nature of the project. However, it believes the robot will soon be “readily available”to the public and hopes the campaign will create extra buzz ahead of its eventual release. “We know that this is an extremely unique request, and signing over the licenses to your face is potentially an extremely big decision,” Geomiq said.

(69) __________ The designer has said that the project has been in development for five years, and in that time frame taken on investment from some independent venture capitals as well as a top fund based in Shanghai.T he company says the robots’ purpose will be to act as a “virtual friend” for elderly people and is set to go into production next year.

The blog past doesn’t share age or gender parameters（参数）. (70) __________ Candidates who make it to the next phase will get full details on the project. “The secrecy,” Geomiq says, “is due to non-disclosure agreement it’s signed with the robot’s designer and investo rs.”

IV. Summary Writing (10分)

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible:

Do We Need Art in Our Lives

No one will be surprised to hear that the arts are under fire in this day and age. We view the arts as something of a hobby, something that’s fun but certainly can’t pay the rent. If it’s not a useful skill, no wonder arts funding is being cut in schools. Do we really need art in our lives?

In schools, time and money is at a premium (稀有而珍贵）, now more than ever. With teachers having to fit so many lessons into every day. It’s easy to see why art is dropping more and more by the wayside. Budgets are dropping at an alarming rate, and what school is going to drop teaching in essential subjects such as math or science when they can drop art instead?

It seems as though the loss of art in daily life is sad fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be. There are actually a lot of practical uses for art for many people. For example, art therapy has helped people with a range of illnesses, both mental and physical, cope with their symptoms. Art is found almost anywhere you look in your home. Practical items, such as bedspreads, furniture or clothing, are all art forms in themselves and arouse emotions in the people interacting with them.

Art also gives us insight into the world. History tells us what happened and when it happened, but it can’t tell us how the population at large felt about it, which is where art steps in. We know a lot about how people in the past lived and worded, because their art has given us much a deep insight into their daily lives. We wouldn’t have that insight without it.

Most of all, we need art in our lives as it gives us a form of self-expression. Being able to talk about our feelings is essential to staying healthy. You may not think or talk about your feelings, but you may express them in other ways. Some like to cook or bake, some like to work machinery, and others may like to paint or draw. Whatever you like to do in your spa re time, you’re probably creating art every day.

So, do we need art in our lives? Many people would say no, but the art they’re thinking of is the art you see in galleries. Art is actually much more accessible and it truly needed in everyday life. It helps those in need, gives people in the future an idea of what life was like, and is a vital form of self-expression.

Section B (15分)

Directions:In Section B, you will hear two short passages and a longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following news.

Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motor - way. But still there is a danger that grows every year.

From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London - Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a disaster.

Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and climb, but he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.

(Now listen again, please)

Questions:

11. Which factor has the highest potential to endanger an airplane?

12. What happened to the two large jets?

13. What does the example mentioned in the passage show?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

The world today is totally different from what it was when I was still a kid. Back then we had no televisions, computers, cellphones or any of the hundreds of electronic products available today. Yet we were still happy with our lives.

Today, even little kids are exposed to violence. If it doesn't reach them through the news every night, or other shows on television, it reaches them through their video games. Everything seems to be about fighting, or about going to war in order to gain power. It's sad to note that many parents do not care about what the children are watching or playing. Every day they see all kinds of crimes being committed and think that this is normal and real.

This is surely why young people are much more violent and harder to discipline these days. As an adult, if you witness some young people beating someone up, you'll think twice about becoming involved, since they could easily turn their anger on you. In the old days, you could just stare at young people and they would crawl into their shells. These days it's the older people who are scared. We have to do something about the entertainment industry if we want to get our normal lives back. All this violence in the media cannot be allowed to continue. Talk to your government representative; get together with your neighbors; set up requests and network through the internet The only way the industry will hear us is that we speak loudly and with one voice.

(Now listen again, please)

Questions:

14. Which of the following is NOT a cause of young people being more violent?

15. In the writer's opinion, what should parents do to reduce the media's bad effects on their kids?

16. What is the passage mainly about?

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

M: Is this table in the corner okay?

W: Sure. We can sit here.

M: Gee. You've hardly got anything on your tray.

W: Yeah. I guess I'm just not that hungry.

M: What's the matter? Aren't you feeling well?

W: Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the shop again

M: Really? What's wrong this time?

W: I don't know exactly. Something is wrong with the brakes, I think.

M: Well, at least that shouldn't cost you much to fix. Parts are cheaper for all the American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?

W: He said he would call me with an estimate later on today.

M: Watch out, he doesn't try to take advantage of you.

W: What do you mean?

M: Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, might try to overcharge that person

W: Maybe so, but I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He has done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be reasonable.

M: Oh, that's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, do you need a ride home after class today?

W: Oh, I'd sure appreciate it. It's really tough getting around without a car when you live off campus.

(Now listen again, please)

Questions:

17. What has happened to the woman's car?

18. Where is the woman's car made?

19. How much did the mechanic charge the woman ?

20. What does the woman think of the mechanic?
