2、st fits each blank.Cruz Genet,11,and Anthony Skopick,10,couldn t agree.Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese?There was only one way to find out.So on a chilly January evening last year,the two friends ventured（冒险）onto the frozen pond near their homes in Frankfort,Illinois,_21_（get）a better lo
3、ok.First they cast a rock onto the ice to test it,then they stepped on it._22_（convince）the ice would hold their weight,Anthony took a few steps,then FOOMP.He crashed through the seemingly frozen surface.There was no sound,he just fell instantly.Cruz rushed to help his terrified friend.FOOMPthe pond
4、 swallowed him too.Cruz managed to lift _23_ out of the frozen water and onto a more solid section.He then cautiously worked his way toward Anthony.But the ice _24_（not hold），and he fell in again.This time,he couldn t get out.The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in
5、 their limbs.There was not much chance _25_ they could free themselves from the trouble.Cruz was sure he was going to die.Anthony s older sister had seen the boys _26_（fall）into the pond and started screaming for help.John Lavin,a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the grocery store,heard her.He
6、quickly pulled over.Seeing the boys,he grabbed a nearby buoy（浮标），kicked off his shoes,and ran into the water,_27_（chop）his way through the ice with free fist.Lavin made his way _28_ Cruz and Anthony and pull them back to land.They were taken to the hospital,where doctors discovered that their five-m
7、inute stay in the water _29_（lower）their body temperature nearly ten degrees.Fortunately,the boys have fully recovered,_30_ they are still a little awestruck（惊叹的）by their fearless neighbor.“Just to think,”says Cruz,“If he hadn t been there,I would have died.”Section B Directions：Complete the followi
8、ng passage by using the words in the box.Each word can only be used once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.prized B.answerable C.limit D.accessible E.projected F.justify G.pirated H.insightful I.chiefly J.purchase K.genuinely We live today indebted to McCardell,Cashin,Hawes,Wilkins,an
9、d Maxwell,and other women who liberated American fashion from the _31_ of Parisian design.Independence came in tying,wrapping,storing,and rationalizing that wardrobe.These designers established the modem dress code,letting playsuits and other active outfits suit casual clothing,allowing pants to ent
10、er the wardrobe,and prizing rationalism and utility in dress,in contradiction to dressing for an occasion.Fashion in America was logical and _32_ to the will of the women who wore it.American fashion addressed a democracy,whereas traditional Paris-based fashion was prescriptive and imposed on women,
11、willing or not.In an earlier time,American fashion had also followed the dictates of Paris,or even _33_ specific French designs.Designer sportswear was not modeled on that of Europe,as“modem art”would later be;it was _34_ invented and developed in America.Its designers were not high-end with supplem
12、entary lines.The design objective and the business commitment were targeted to sportswear,and the distinctive traits were problem-solving ingenuity（独创性）and realistic lifestyle applications.Ease of care was most important:summer dresses and outfits,in particular,were _35_ cotton,readily capable of be
13、ing washed and pressed at home.2 Closings were simple,practical,and _36_,as the modem woman depended on no personal maid to dress her.American designers _37_ the freedom of women who wore the clothing.Many have argued that the women designers of that time _38_ their own clothing values into a new st
14、yle.Of course,much of this argument in the 1930s-40s was advanced because there was little or no experience in designing clothes on the basis of utility.But could utility alone _39_ the new ideas of the American designers?Fashion is often regarded as a pursuit of beauty,and some cheris hed fashion s
15、 relationship to the fine arts.What the designers of the American sportswear proved was that fashion is a design art,answering to the demanding needs of service.Of course these practical,_40_ designers have determined the course of late twentieth-century fashion.They were the pioneers of gender equi
16、ty,in their useful,adaptable clothing,which was both made for the masses and capable of self-expression.Reading comprehension Section A Directions：For each blank in the following passages 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
17、 context.Face shape lets AI spot rare disorders People with genetic syndromes（综合症）sometimes have revealing facial features,but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis an be _41_ given there are hundreds of possible conditions they may have.A new neural network that analyses photographs of fac
18、es can help doctors _42_ the possibilities.Yaron Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look at the overall impression of faces and _43_ a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a person is most likely to have.They _44_ the neural network,called DeepGestalt,on
19、 17,000 images correctly labelled to match more than 200 genetic syndromes.The team then asked the AI to _45_ potential genetic disorders from a further 502 photos of people with such conditions.It included the correct answer among its list of 10 responses 91 per cent of the time.Gurovich and his te
20、am also _46_ the neural network s ability to distinguish between the different genetic mutations（变异）that can lead to the same syndrome.They used photographs of people with Noonan syndrome,which can result from mutations in any one of five genes.DeepGestalt correctly identified the genetic source of
21、the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time.It s clearly not _47_,but it s still much better than humans are at trying to do this.As the system makes its assessments,the facial regions that were most helpful in the determination are _48_ and made available for doctors to view.This helps them to
22、understand the relationships between genetic make-up and physical appearance.The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions about _49_.If faces can reveal details about genetics,then employers and insurance providers could,in principle,_50_ use such techniques to _51_ a
23、gainst people who have a high probability of having certain disorders._52_,Gurovich says the tool will only be _53_ for use by clinicians.This technique could bring significant _54_ for those who have genetic syndromes.The real value here is that for some of these ultra-rare diseases,the process of
24、diagnosis can be many,many years.This kind of technology can help narrow down the search space and then be confirmed through checking genetic markers.For some diseases,it will cut down the time to diagnosis dramatically.For others,it could perhaps add means of finding other people with the disease a

28、m 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）The two roads It was New Year s night.An aged man was standing at a window.He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky,where the stars were floa
29、ting like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake.When he cast them on the earth,where a few more hopeless people besides himself now moved towards their certain goal the tomb.He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it,and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and
30、regret.Now his health was poor,his mind vacant,his heart sorrowful,and his old age short of comforts.The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him,and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads one leading to a peaceful,sunny place,covered with
31、 flowers,fruits and resounding with soft,sweet songs;the other leading to a deep,dark cave,which was endless,where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.He looked towards the sky and cried painfully,Oh youth,return!Oh my father,place me once more at
32、the entrance to life,and Ill choose the better way!But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness.These were the days of his wasted life;he saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared,and this was the symbol of himself.His regret,which w
33、as like a sharp arrow,struck deeply into his heart.Then he remembered his friends in his childhood,who entered on life together with him.But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Years night.The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him reme
34、mber his parents early love for him.They had taught him and prayed to God for his good.But he chose the wrong way.With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived.His darkened eyes were full of tears,and with a despairing effort,he burst out a cry:Come back,my
35、early days!Come back!And his youth did return,for all this was only a dream,which he had on New Years Night.He was still young though his faults were real;he had not yet entered the deep,dark cave,and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.4 Those who still
36、linger on the entrance of life,hesitating to choose the bright road,remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains,you will cry bitterly,but in vain.O youth,return!Oh give me back my early days!56.In the 3rd paragraph,the man cried painfully because _.A.all the hopel
37、ess people were moving towards death B.he had lost forever the chance to take the right road C.His parents and the happy days of his youth were gone D.he refused to take the toad leading to a deep dark cave 57.What happened to the man before his sudden realization?A.He was at his father s funeral fa
38、rewell.B.He was enjoying the New Year s eve.C.He was wandering at the entrance to life.D.He was having a dream of his life in old age.58.We can infer from the story that _.A.the man s childhood friends led a joyful life like himB.the man still had the opportunity to chose the right way C.both the ma
39、n s parents passed away when he was youngD.the man s father was quite strict with his son before death59.The passage is mainly written for _.A.a new driver getting lost on a detour B.a concerned mother with two children to raise C.an experienced teacher with a good reputation D.a hesitating young ad
40、ult facing a tough life choice（B）“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo”is a real sentence.How?Let s break it down,starting with a simple phrase:Monkeys from Pisa bully deer from London.OK,admittedly it s an implausible scenario,but it s a grammatically fine sentence.In Eng
41、lish we can use place names as adjectives,so let s shorten the sentence a little.Pisa monkeys bully London deer.Now we ll throw in some giraffes from Paris to even the score with those mean monkeys.Pisa monkeys,whom Paris giraffes intimidate,bully London deer.English is peculiar in that you can omit
42、 relative pronouns,e.g.,“the person whom I love”can be expressed as5“the person I love.”Let s do that to this sentence.Pisa monkeys Paris giraffes intimidate bully London deer.This kind of pronoun removal can be a little more difficult to grasp when written than when spoken.Saying the above sentence
43、s with pauses after monkeys and intimidate can help.Now we need to replace both of the verbs,intimidate and bully,with their（admittedly uncommon）synonym,buffalo.Pisa monkeys Paris giraffes buffalo buffalo London deer.Again,pauses help keep the meaning in mind:Put a pause after monkeys and the first
44、buffalo.Now we ll replace all the worldwide place names with the second-largest city in New York State,Buffalo.（That s Buffalo s tallest building,One Seneca Tower,below.）Buffalo monkeys Buffalo giraffes buffalo buffalo Buffalo deer.You can probably guess what the next step is.But before we replace a
45、ll the animals with the common name for the American bison,note how the capital letters in the above sentence help you keep the place names separate from the other usages of the word.OK,here goes:Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.One last thing to note:This exceptional
46、sentence is possible because the plural of the animal buffalo is buffalo,not buffalos,otherwise all the words wouldn t be identical.English is strange and wonderful!60.How should we read the following sentence with proper pauses?A.Buffalo buffalo Buffalo/buffalo buffalo/buffalo Buffalo buffalo.B.Buf
47、falo buffalo/Buffalo buffalo buffalo/buffalo Buffalo buffalo.C.Buffalo buffalo Buffalo/buffalo buffalo buffalo/Buffalo buffalo.D.Buffalo buffalo/Buffalo buffalo/buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.61.What is the key element to make this sentence possible?A.The relative pronouns in English can be omitted
48、.B.In English,place names can be used as adjectives.C.The city has the same name with a kind of American bison.D.The word buffalo has the same form of singular and plural.62.Where can you probably find this article?A.Wandering the Earth B.Linguistics Around Us C.Popular Animal Science D.Collins Engl
49、ish Grammar 6（C）The idea that richer countries are happier may seem intuitively obvious.However,in 1974,research by economist Richard Easterlin found otherwise.He discovered that while individuals with higher incomes were more likely to be happy,this did not hold at a national level.In the United St
50、ates,for example,average income per person rose steadily between 1946 and 1970,but reported happiness levels showed no positive long-term trend;in fact,they declined between 1060 and 1970.These differences between nation-level and individual results gave rise to the term“Easterlin paradox”:the idea
