Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the prop
14、er form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Once upon a time .Once upon a time there lived in Germany two brothers. At school they met a wise man who led them to a treasure a library of old books with tales more fascinating than any they had ever heard. (2
15、1) _(inspire), the brothers began collecting their own stories, listening to the folktales people told them. Soon they produced their own treasure a book of fairy tales that would charm millions in faraway lands for generations (22) _(come).The brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, named their story co
16、llection Childrens and Household Tales and published it in Germany in 1812. The collection (23)_(translate) into more than 160 languages up to now. The stories and their characters continue to feature in virtually every media: theatre, opera, comic books, movies, paintings, rock music, advertising a
17、nd fashion. Such fame would have shocked the modest Grimms. During their lifetimes the collection (24)_(sell) few copies in Germany. The early editions were not even aimed at children. They had no illustrations, and scholarly footnotes took up almost as much space as the tales (25) _. Jacob and Wilh
18、elm Grimm began their work at a time (26)_ Germany had been occupied by the French under Napoleon. The new rulers restricted local culture. As young scholars, the brothers Grimm began to work on the fairy tale collection in order to save the endangered oral storytelling tradition of Germany.(27)_ th
19、e brothers implied that they were just keeping records of tales, Wilhelm continued to polish and reshape the stories up to the final edition of 1857. In an effort to make them more acceptable to children and their parents, he stressed the moral of each tale and emphasized gender roles. To this day,
20、parents still read them to their children because they approve of the lessons in the stories: keep your promises, dont talk to strangers, work hard, obey your parents.Yet (28)_ all Wilhelms additions, the most important partof these stories was left untouched. The cruel treatment of children and the
21、 violent punishments handed out to the stories bad guys are too much for some parents.So what accounts for their popularity? Some have suggested that it is (29)_ the characters are always striving for happiness. But the truth probably lies in their origin. Grimms tales were born out of a storytellin
22、g tradition without boundaries (界限) of age or culture. The brothers skill was to translate these into a universal style of writing that seems to mirror (30)_ moods or interests we bring to our reading of them. And so it was that the Grimms fairy tales lived happily ever after.Section BDirections: Co

A. distributedB. absolutelyC. infections D. consumeE. harborF. relianceG. potential H. specific I. originate J. respectivelyK. revealedMicroplastic PollutionIn
24、 the past few years, scientists have found microplastics in our soil, tap water, bottled water, beer and even in the air we breathe. And theres growing concern about the 31 health risks they poseto humans.The new analysis in the UK have discovered microplastics widely 32 across all 10 lakes and rive
25、rs sampled. More than 1,000 small pieces of plastic per litre were found in the River Tame, which was 33 last year as the most polluted place tested worldwide. Even in relatively remote places such as the Falls of Dochart and Loch Lomond in Scotland, two or three pieces per litre were found.Micropla
26、stics are not a 34 kind of plastic, but rather any type of small pieces of plastic that is less than 5 mm in length according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. They may 35 from a variety of sources, including cosmetics, clothing, and industrial processes.Humans are known t
27、o 36 the tiny plastic particles through food and water, but the possible health effects on people and ecosystems have yet to be determined. One study, in Singapore, has found that microplastics can 37 harmful microbes (微生物).Research by the National University of Singapore found more than 400 types o
28、f bacteria on 275 pieces of microplastic collected from local beaches. They included insects that cause gastroenteritis (肠胃炎) and wound 38 in humans.“Microplastics are being found 39 everywhere but we do not know the harm they could be doing,” said Christian Dunn at Bangor University, Wales, who led
29、 the work. “Its no use looking back in 20 years time and saying: If only wed realized just how bad it was. We need to be monitoring our waters now and we need to think, as a country and a world, how we can be reducing our 40 on plastic.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank i
30、n 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 context.Since 2008, the average labour-force participation rate of 55- to 64-year-olds in OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries
31、 has risen by eight percentage points. A new OECD report, “Working Better with Age”, points out that the employment of older workers is 41 , if prosperity is to be maintained. That can be taken as a sign that our society is finally 42 the value of its older employees.Retirement gives you the chance
32、to sleep late and avoid the morning rush hours. No longer do you have to sit through endless meetings or check email frequently. But work can keep the mind active and gives people a 43 in life. The first month of retirement may seem pleasant, but 44 is sure to come. Grand plans to learn languages an
33、d travel the world can quickly lose their appeal. 45 , the company of colleagues provides a social network; spending all week at home can lead to loneliness. Working longer should be easier now that most jobs require 46 , rather than manual, labour. Of course, many people are working longer not beca
34、use they enjoy what they do, but because they cannot afford to 47 . That is not just because governments have been pushing up the state retirement age. 48 , the average age at which people actually retire differs from the official age by several years. In part, that is because many people do not rel
35、y on the state pension as their only source of income and need work-related pensions to supplement it. However, companies are gradually 49 pensions linked to final salaries with “defined contribution” schemes. Under the latter, workers end up with a pot of savings at retirement that needs to be 50 .
36、 The income from such pots has been reduced by very low interest rates. Women tend to have smaller retirement pots (thanks to their years spent raising children), making their difficulties even more 51 . They need to keep working.Older workers may feel 52 , particularly when it comes to promotion. T
37、wo issues seem to hold 53 back. The first is that older workers tend to 54 higher salaries, because of the seniority system. The second is a 55 of skills；one in three 55- to 65-year-olds in OECD countries either lack computer experience or cannot pass technology tests. Such problems can be resolved
38、with proper training, but the over-55s should take it upon themselves to keep up with technological changes. 41. A. shortsightedB. vitalC. adequateD. unnecessary42.

41、 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)Agnes de Mille was a dancer and
42、a choreographer (编舞). Early in her career, de Mille had created the choreography for a ballet called Three Virgins and a Devil. She thought it was good work, but nobody made much of it.A few years later, de Mille choreographed a ballet named Rodeo. Again, she thought her work was solid, but it resul
43、ted in little commercial fame.Then, in 1943, de Mille choreographed Oklahoma!, a musical show that enjoyed nearly instant success. In the coming years, Oklahoma! would run for an incredible 2,212 performances, both around the nation and abroad. In 1955, the film version won an Academy Award.But the
44、success of Oklahoma! didnt bring her much happiness. She thought that her work on Oklahoma! was only average compared to some of her other creations. She later said, “After the opening of Oklahoma!, I suddenly had unexpected success for a work I thought was only fairly good, after years of neglect f
45、or work I thought was fine. I began to think that perhaps my entire scale of values was untrustworthy. I talked to Martha.”Martha was Martha Graham, perhaps the most influential dance choreographer of the 20th century. (Although not as well-known by the general public, Graham has been compared to ot
46、her creative geniuses like Picasso or Frank Lloyd Wright.)During their conversation, de Mille told Martha Graham about her frustration. “I confessed that I had a burning desire to be excellent, but no faith that I could be.” Graham responded by saying,“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a
47、 quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your busi
