Cosmic rays are mysterious, high-charged atomic particles traveling through space at the speed of light, 21． have puzzled scientists for years. But for Yang Jia, a member of the National Committee of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China’s top political advisory body, the ability to see and study them 22． help generate interest in science and space among schoolchildren.
Cosmic rays, first 23． (discover) in 1912, have been an enigma for years, but their detectability means they can be studied by middle and high school students with a basic knowledge of physics.
Yang, also a professor and a member of the Jiusan Society, a democratic political party, proposed further 24． (promote) the study of cosmic rays on school campuses at this year’s Two Sessions.
"It’s a wonderful idea. I heard a presentation from a scientist Zhang Chuang, and I was quite excited. I think it is a wonderful way 25． (share) their knowledge with young people. At that time, I heard in Los Angeles, there were already 80 high schools having such extra curriculums, and in Italy, there were 50. But in China, there were just a few," said Yang.
An organization called Campus Cosmic Ray Observation Collaboration 26． (establish) in September 2020 to promote the idea. Zhang, head of the organization, said they plan to build more stations on school campuses across China.
"We’ve been working on building more observation stations on campuses. At the moment, we have three in Dongzhimen, and we plan to set up more. Now we are working with three schools to build such stations. We also try to put our existing data on the website so that students can carry out related studies with open access," said Zhang.
27． cosmic ray observation belongs to the field of frontier physics, experts say introducing it to the campus helps popularize science among students.
Chinese scientist Shen Changquan, 79, 28． (guide) Dongzhimen High School workshop for seven years since his retirement. He said such activities can help increase young students’ interest in science.
"By exposing students to cutting-edge science, students can stand on the shoulders of giants and touch a wider world. It’s not about 29． being scientists. It’s just that a lot of advanced equipment today requires physics knowledge, and improving the physics level of all people is very important," said Shen.
Talking about the future of the proposal, Yang said she is looking forward to seeing more dialogue between top scientists and students in China. She said they are optimistic, and 30． the difficulties ahead, the drive for humans to fully understand the unknown can never be stopped.

Ocean plastic has become a defining problem of our time, and a challenge to the world’s brightest thinkers and innovators. With a significant portion of plastic waste entering through rivers, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste is supporting the work of Renew Ocean to 31． the lack of waste infrastructure in developing regions.
Research published in Environmental Science & Technology in 2017 shows that rivers 32． dump anywhere from a half to three million tons of plastic into the seas every year. According to the data, ten rivers alone carry 93 percent of the river-borne plastics that end up in the ocean. To help prevent this plastic waste from reaching the ocean, the Alliance to End Plastic Waste will sponsor Renew Oceans, a localized 33． and investment project focused on high-leakage rivers. As a Founding Global Oceans Sponsor, the Alliance will 34． its materials and logistics (物流) capabilities. The National Geographic Society has also supported the Renew Oceans 35．.
Renew Oceans is part of the Renewology partnership, a brainchild of Priyanka Bakaya. Growing up in Australia, Bakaya became fascinated by science, chemistry, and the environment. Trips to India as a child 36． her of the need to do something positive for an environment 37． strained by plastic waste. At Stanford University, she became aware of social entrepreneurship and continued developing her ideas for ending plastic waste in business school at MIT.
How does Renew Oceans plan to tackle a(n) 38． insurmountable (难以克服的) problem? First, using proprietary (专利的) “biofence” technology designed by Renewology, plastic waste is collected as it flows down rivers and branches. ReFences divert the plastic and thus keep it from accumulating and entering the ocean. As 39．, the program has major side benefits. The plastic collected across the developing world will be converted into fuel, while waste pickers will receive compensation directly tied to the fuel generated from the plastic they collect. Renewology can become a powerful 40． for empowering local communities while cleaning up the world’s trash and providing necessary fuel.

Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member of the black bear family. One in ten black bears is 41 born with a white coat, which is the result of a/an 42 gene that surfaces in a few. Local people have named it ‘the spirit bear’. And according to the legends of these communities, its snowy fur brings with it a special power. Because of this, it has always been highly 43 by them—so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else. It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area.
The white bear’s 44 is quite interesting. The bear’s strong relationship with the old-growth rainforest is a complex one. The white bear relies on the huge centuries-old trees in the forest in many ways. 45 , the old-growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent erosion (腐蚀) of the soil along the banks of the many fish streams. Keeping these banks undamaged is important because these streams are home to salmon, which are the bear’s main food 46 . The bear’s feeding habits nurture the forest 47 . As the bears eat the salmon, they abandon the skin and bones in great amounts on the forest floor, which provide vital nutrients. These produce vegetation that 48 thousands of other types of life forms, from birds to insects and more.
Today, the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few islands. There is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than two hundred of these white bears remain. The best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the 49 balance of their forest environment—in other words, their ecosystem.
The greatest 50 to the bear’s existence is the loss of its habitat. Over many years, logging companies have stripped the land by 51 a large number of trees. In addition, they have built roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually 52 , and many hibernation sites have also been lost. The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish. To make matters worse, the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no legal 53 on fishing at the moment.
All these 54 have a negative impact on the spirit bear’s very existence, which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been 55 low. While it is important to maintain the spirit bear’s habitat, there also needs to be more emphasis on its expansion. The move is justified as it will also create space for other bears that are losing their homes.

Not enough American students want to be engineers, mathematicians, or scientists. The federal government wants to change that. They are spending money to do it. The government will invest three billion dollars in the education of young Americans in science, technology, engineering and math. The four areas together are kown as STEM. Many jobs in the STEM fields will open in the coming years. The U.S. government’s investment aims to increase the number of Americans who can take those jobs. Yet girls appear far less interested in STEM subjects than boys. Only 25 percent of STEM students are girls. Debbie Sterling is an engineer. She invented a construction toy for girls. The name of the toy is "Goldie Blox." Ms. Sterling hopes Goldie Blox will help girls develop skills in space and shapes, which help engineers and builders to think about objects in three dimensions.
To interest girls, Sterling created the character "Goldie." Goldie does not care about beauty or clothes. Goldie tells stories, solves difficult problems and creates imaginary worlds.
Mia is a seven-year-old girl who likes science. In her room, she has no fashion dolls. Instead, she has a pegboard, wheels, blocks and an inventor’s journal to write her observations. Mia received a set of Goldie Blox from her grandmother. She learned to make machine with the blocks.
"When my grandmother first sent me the present, a spinning machine, I was really excited. I knew it had to do with engineering, so I grabbed the box and opened it. Then I went for more——I went to the website; I went on YouTube to find more videos. My mom asked me why I was just watching videos instead of building. I told her I didn’t have enough pieces. She got me the builder survival kit."
Experts say parents should do more than just buy toys to interest their girls in STEM subjects. They should also provide a good education. At school, girls should participate in projects that require teamwork and creative thinking.
Women in scientific and technical jobs are also working to encourage young women to explore STEM. One is Anu Tewary. She studied Applied Physics and worked for technology companies. After she had a daughter, she started Technovati Challenge. The challenge is an international competition for young women from 10 to 18 years old.
There is a good chance that soon, more young women using mobile phones will also be developing programs for them.
56．We can learn about STEM that________.
A．The U.S government will invest in STEM education.
B．The market of STEM will be highly competitive.
C．Girls like STEM better than boys.
D．Stem stands for science, technology, economy, and math.
57．Why does Mia like Goldie blox?
A．Because Goldie cares about beauty.
B．Because her grandmother first sent her the present.
C．Because Mia likes engineering.
D．Because there are videos to watch.
58．What should be done to help girls to be more interested in STEM?
A．Parents should buy more gifts for them.
B．Schools should be encouraged to set up courses about teamwork and creative thinking.
C．Women in STEM jobs should encourage them to join.
D．More mobile phone program should be developed for them.

One dictionary broadly defines the word “crisis” as “a crucial turning point in the progress of an affair or of a series of events, as in politics, business, a story, or play…” This paper will attempt to define a much narrower but extremely significant aspect of crisis: personal crisis.
Sometimes our more or less steady progress through life comes to a jolting halt(止步). Something unexpected, shocking, frightening, threatening, and disastrous happens --- a crisis. Such a development can disturb relationships, interfere with work efficiency, and cause confusion, disorganization, and serious emotional upheaval(剧变). Solutions that have worked for us in solving past problems no longer prove adequate. As anxiety increases, our powers to cope with it correspondingly decrease. The crisis quickly leads to frustration; we feel helpless either to escape from the problem or to resolve it successfully.
Many people think of crisis as being connected only with unhappy or unpleasant events. This is not the case. Crisis can occur as a result of any change, even one that is generally welcomed: marriage, birth of a child, graduation from school or college, or election to public office.
Crises are generally of two types. First, there are the expected, maturational crises we experience at times of life development and change. Examples of this include a child’s first enrollment in school or his transfer at a later age to new school. These events may precipitate(促成) a crisis --- both for the youngster and his parents. Another time when crisis can be expected is during adolescence.
The second type of crisis is the unexpected, accidental kind. This can stem from many sources: becoming involved in a legal suit, having an automobiles crash, being fired from a job, losing a large sum of money, or falling suddenly ill. Severe illness will create a crisis not only for the individual concerned but also for his family. And an illness may itself be caused by an emotional crisis, such as the death of a spouse, offspring, or sibling.
In a recent attitude survey, researchers gathered information to determine which crisis situations in life were most likely to precede(领先于)illness. The study showed that the three most stressful life events were death of a spouse, divorce, and marital separation. Other events that fell toward the top of the crisis scale were a jail term, death of a close family member, personal injury or illness, marriage, losing one’s job, marital resolution, retirement, change in the health of a family member, pregnancy, gain of a new family member, business readjustment, and change in financial state.
59．According to the passage, which of the following is the most proper definition of “crisis”?
A．A point or moment of great danger, difficulty, or uncertainty.
B．A crucial turning point in the process of an affair or of a series of events, either expected or unexpected.
C．The time in a serious illness at which there is a sudden change for better or worse.
D．A result of change.
60．All the following may be causes of a crisis EXCEPT________.
A．pregnancy B．graduation from high school
C．steady progress through life D．adolescence
61．The word “maturational” in line 1 Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.
A．related to growth B．related to youngsters
C．pleasant D．welcomed
62．Illness, in the author’s opinion, is________ crisis.
A．a cause of B．a result of
C．neither a cause nor a result of D．either a cause or a result of

In Japan, where career opportunities for women are few, where divorce can mean a life of hardship, and where most female names are still formed using a word for child, a woman’s independence has always come at a steep price.
Notions of women’s liberation have never taken root among Japanese women. But with inadequate open conflict, the push for separate burials is quietly becoming one of the country’s fastest growing social trends. In a recent survey by the TBS television network, 20 percent of the women who responded said they hoped to be buried separately from their husbands.
The funerary revolt comes as women here annoy at Japan’s slow pace in providing greater equality between the sexes. The law, for example, still makes it almost impossible for a woman to use her maiden name after marriage. Meanwhile, divorce rates are low by Western standards, because achieving financial independence or even obtaining a credit card in one’s own name is an insurmountable obstacle for many divorced women. Until recently, society enforced restrictions on women even in death. Under Japan’s complex burial customs, divorced or unmarried women were traditionally unwelcome in most graveyards, where plots (小块土地) are still passed down through the husband’s family and descendants must provide maintenance for burial sites or lose them.
“The woman who wanted to be buried alone couldn’t find a graveyard until about 10 years ago,” said Haruyo Inoue, a sociologist of death and burial at Japan University. She said that graveyards which did not require descendants to maintain, in order to accommodate women, began appearing in around 1990. Today, she said that there are close to 400 of these cemeteries in Japan. That is just one sign of stirring among Japanese women, who are also pressing for the first time to change the law to be able to use their maiden names after marriage.
Although credit goes beyond any individual, many women cite Junko Mastubara, a popular writer on women’s issues, with igniting the trend to separate sex burials. Starting three years ago, Ms. Matsubara has built an association of nearly 600 women — some divorced, some unhappily married, and some determinedly single — who plan to share a common plot curbed out of an ordinary cemetery in the western suburb of Chofu.
63．What is the passage mainly concerned with?
A．How to change Japan’s complex burial customs.
B．Japanese women’s efforts to win sex equality.
C．Social and governmental obligation in eliminating sex inequality.
D．How Japanese laws prevent Japanese women from being buried alone.
64．From the fact that divorce can mean a life of hardship for Japanese women, we can infer that ________.
A．many Japanese women have a low social status
B．it’s an out-dated custom for Japanese women to be housewives
C．many Japanese women have a bad relationship with their husbands
D．many Japanese women live together with their husbands in perfect harmony
65．Which of the following statements about the funeral revolt in Japan is NOT true?
A．More and more Japanese women prefer to be buried separately from their husbands.
B．Japan’s complex burial customs make it more difficult for Japanese women to be buried separately.
C．More and more Japanese women resort to divorce to win the victory of funeral revolt.
D．It comes as the result of Japanese women’s dissatisfaction with Japan’s slow pace in providing greater sex equality.
66．The meaning of the word “ignite” in the last paragraph is ________.
A．to initiate B．to reverse
C．to suggest D．to strengthen

The Rise of Microchipping
On August 1, 2017, workers at Three Square Market, a company specializing in vending machines, lined up in the office cafeteria to be implanted with microchips. One after another, they held out a hand to a tattooist who pushed a rice-grain sized implant into the flesh between their thumb and forefinger. The group implant event, organized by company management, fitted into Three Square Market’s longer-term vision of a cashless payment system for their vending machines — workplace snacks purchased with a flick of the wrist. The televised “chipping party” was picked up by media outlets from Moscow to Sydney. 67． After the event, Three Square Market’s Google reviews page was flooded with one-star ratings.
For Jowan Österlund, whose company Biohax provided the service, microchip implants were not radical or even novel. He has lived with one for years and has implanted hundreds of other young, tech-savvy (技术大咖) Swedes. 68． They have used their implants to gain access to their co-working spaces, pay for gym membership, and even to ride the train. But are the people of the world ready for technology to start getting under their skin?
Microchip implants are essentially cylindrical (长圆形的) bar codes that, when scanned, transmit a unique signal through a layer of skin. 69． Today, Biohax is aiming to simplify identity and access in the digital world, offering a replacement to the seemingly endless collection of passwords, keys, tickets and cards that clutter our lives. Jowan’s friend Hannes Sjöblad has his own microchip-focused business. He believes that by placing a device under the skin, instead of wearing it like a Fitbit, data collection will be greatly improved.
But Urs Gasser at Harvard University believes that extending beyond the Swedish tech-hub environment to a broader market will be legally and morally difficult. In his view, Three Square Market’s chipping event actually symbolizes the imbalances of power in the workplace. Are you a person being paid for your work, or are you the property of the company you work for?
Ifeoma Ajunwa at Cornell University adds that it is crucial to consider the implications of this technology in the context of increasing worker surveillance (管制). 70． This seems to blur the line between work and family life,” she said.
A.Microchips will deepen this dynamic, as they “literally go with the worker whenever they go”.
B.Chipping, thereby, has swept across the globe with its magnetic appeal.
C.Not all of the attention was positive, however.
D.Mostly, they have been used to organize warehouses or identify lost pets.
E.Conquered by the “almighty” microchips, workers may no longer be their own masters.
F.For this community, the chip signifies an all-in-one combination of biology and technology.

71．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.
A new study suggests many Americans have not visited the most popular places of interest around the country or even in their hometown.
The study found that 25 percent of Americans have yet to visit "iconic landmarks" in their own cities. Twenty-three percent said they had not visited any of the nation’s natural wonders, famous buildings or historic battlefields.
The study was a project of the research service OnePoll and Zipcar, a car-sharing company.
Researchers questioned 2,000 Americans. Only 33 percent of them said they had been to Niagara Falls and just 28 percent had been to Arizona’s Grand Canyon. The study showed that only 30 percent had been to New York’s Empire State Building. Only 22 percent had ever visited the National Mall in Washington, D．C．
Many Americans say they would like to travel more. More than half of those questioned said they would like to get out more. Forty-nine percent reported being "creatures of habit." By that, they mean they generally do the same things in the same way. That would leave little time to visit local or national landmarks.
The researchers found that the main reasons keeping Americans from exploring their cities or the country were money, lack of time and a lack of good transportation.
On social media, one Twitter user reacting to the study named a few reasons for not visiting famous places. The writer noted that “most of us don’t get paid days off, get punished for taking a day off, or simply can’t afford to visit anything or go anywhere anymore."
The Twitter user added, "Childcare costs more than College, College Loans costs more than a mortgage payment, and jobs don’t even pay for one of those things.”
The study found that three of the places Americans wanted to visit were Grand Canyon National Park, Yellowstone National Park and the Statue of Liberty.
The researchers also found that, on average, Americans go to a new coffee shop every five months, and a new restaurant every four months. They also spent time at a lake or near the ocean once every six months, and go to a park every five months.

Dear Food,
I know you already know this, but I need you. You bring my family together, you sweeten my celebrations, you make my deals, you satisfy my senses, and you keep me alive.
You work so hard to make all of this possible, spending your life growing in the field, the factory or the sea. I try to be good to you. I give you half of my land, two thirds of the water I consume, a tenth of my energy and one-sixth of my workforce. But I want to apologize. Because after all that, you deserve to be eaten. But instead, I throw away almost half of you enough calories to feed 150 million people.
From harvest to home, I waste half of all fruits, vegetables, seafood, and a third of all grains. I'd better to meat and dairy, wasting only 20 percent, but this is a double waste, because essentially I'm also dumping the grain or grass the animals ate to make the muscle or milk. And I waste you in many ways: For example, sometimes I leave you in the field to die because it costs more to harvest you than you're worth.
Other times, I mistakenly damage, pollute or spill you. Or, reject you when you're imperfect, because I judge by appearance. But mostly I squander you in supermarkets, restaurants and homes, when you are so close to being eaten. I offer too much of you, so I take too much and I can't finish you, or I can't sell all of you before you go bad. At home I forget about you or I cook too much and don't know how to store you.
Or maybe I just don't like leftovers. Part of the problem is that on average, I spend a smaller part of my household budget on you than in any other country or any time in history, and my spending is spread out over days and weeks, so I don't notice the cost of wasting you.
In general, I need to learn more about you because this is about us and our relationship. I help you grow, and then I eat you. Anything else is a waste.
Yours sincerely,
Man

When we are learning a new language, carrying on a conversation can be difficult. It is even harder when there is the added pressure of doing a job well using the new language. To solve this problem, we will suggest some simple learning strategies to improve your ability to listen and carry on conversations.
The first strategy is to predict what you will hear. Maybe your customers sometimes say they have problems with placing an order on your website. You can think about the ways they usually ask about that problem. What words do they often use in that kind of conversation? For example, customers may often use the word "order."
The next strategy is to prepare a list of those words and listen for them when a customer begins talking with you. I call this "focusing when you listen." The next time you are listening to a customer, pay attention to the key words that help you understand their question.
Next, think about what you can say to the customer to let them know you need a little help understanding them. You can let the customer know you are an English learner. There are two questions you can ask. One is "Would you please speak more slowly?”. The other is kind of question is one I call, "asking to clarify." Remember, you predicted some of the words your customers may use. You should listen closely for those words. When you hear one, you can ask the customer a short question to be sure. "Did you say you want to order?"
You can prepare your answers to customers' questions and rehearse them in your free time. You may want to keep a notebook with your usual answers. You can practice saying them out loud to yourself.
Finally, you can put all these actions and thoughts together. We hope that these four strategies will help you to better deal with your customers in English. Learning English takes time and effort, but sometimes a few good strategies make things easier.
Questions:
14.What does the second strategy focus on?
15.What if you can’t catch what the customer says?
16.What’s the purpose of this passage?

M: Hi, er, can you help me?
W: Sure, what's the problem?
M: I've got to write an essay on electrical distribution and transmission systems, but I can't find any suitable books in the engineering section on level three.
W: Have you used the library search engine?
M: You mean where you type the keywords into the computer?  Yes, I've done that.  A couple of books come up but they're not on the shelves, someone's taken them out.
W: Well, I can put a reserve on them so that when the person brings them back to the library, we can put them on one side for you.  Do you want to do that?
M: Mmm, I don't know.  I suppose so, but ideally, I'd like to get started on my essay sooner rather than later.
W: Well, there are some other options. Didn't you go on a library introduction tour in the first week of this term?  They were running five days a week, morning and afternoon.
M: No, I was, er, I was ill that week.
W: Well, we still do two library tours a week on Wednesdays, and I recommend you go on one of them.  You'll learn a lot of useful things.  You can sign up at the desk on level two.
M: Yes, I probably should do that then.
W: So, that's a good place to start.  Meanwhile, you can always go and talk to your subject librarian.  The person for Electrical Engineering is Mark Taylor.  His office is on level four.
M: Will he be there now?
W: Let me see.  What's the time?  Twelve fifteen.  He'll probably be on lunch, or if not, he'll be going at twelve thirty.  You'd be best to wait and come back at two-ish.  Then you'll be more likely to catch him.
M: Okay, thank you.
Questions:
17.Which of the following has the man done already?
18.On how many days per week are library introduction tours currently available?
19.What can the man do on level two?
20.What time does the librarian recommend that the man returns to meet the subject librarian?

【分析】
这是一篇新闻报道。全国政协委员杨佳认为能够看到和研究宇宙射线有助于激发学生对科学和太空的兴趣，对进一步推进校园宇宙射线研究做出了很多努力。
21．
考查定语从句。句意：宇宙射线是一种神秘的、以光速在太空中穿行的高电荷原子粒子，多年来一直困扰着科学家。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为“Cosmic rays”，所以应用关系代词which。故填which。
22．
考查情态动词。句意：但对于全国政协委员杨佳来说，能够看到和研究它们有助于激发学生对科学和太空的兴趣。主语ability为第三人称单数，但谓语help使用原形，所以空格处应用情态动词或助动词do/does/did。根据句意可知，此处是指能够看到和研究它们有助于激发学生对科学和太空的兴趣，可用情态动词can表示“能够，可以”，也可用情态动词could表示“能够，可以”，但语气更加委婉。故填can/could。
23．
考查过去分词。句意：宇宙射线于1912年首次被发现，多年来一直是个谜，但它们的可探测性意味着具有基本物理知识的初高中学生可以研究它们。动词discover意为“发现”，和谓语之间没有连词，和主语“Cosmic rays”构成被动关系，且已完成，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填discovered。
24．
考查动名词。句意：杨教授同时也是民主政党九三学会的成员，在今年的两会上，他提出了进一步推进校园宇宙线研究的建议。propose doing意为“提出做某事，建议做某事”，为固定搭配，此处用动名词作宾语。故填promoting。
25．
考查to do不定式。句意：我认为这是一个很好的与年轻人分享他们的知识的方式。修饰抽象名词way应用to do不定式。故填to share。
26．
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：为了推广这一理念，一个名为“校园宇宙线观测协作”的组织于2020年9月成立。根据“in September 2020”可知，此处应用一般过去时。动词establish意为“建设”，和主语organization构成被动关系。主语为第三人称单数。故填was established。
27．
考查连词。句意：虽然宇宙射线观测属于前沿物理学领域，但专家表示，将其引入校园有助于在学生中普及科学。“cosmic ray observation belongs to the field of frontier physics”和“experts say introducing it to the campus helps popularize science among students”构成转折关系，所以此处为让步状语从句，应用连词although，while或though表 示“尽管”。句首首字母应大写。故填Although/While/Though。
28．
考查现在完成时。句意：79岁的中国科学家沈长泉退休后，已经在东直门中学工作室指导了7年。根据“since his retirement”可知，此处应用现在完成时。主语“Chinese scientist Shen Changquan”为第三人称单数。故填has guided。
29．
考查人称代词。句意：这并不是关于他们成为科学家。being在介词about后作宾语，为动名词。动名词前面可以加一个形容词性物主代词、代词宾格或名词所有格作为该动名词的逻辑主语。根据“By exposing students to cutting-edge science, students can stand on the shoulders of giants and touch a wider world.”(通过让学生接触尖端科学，学生可以站在巨人的肩膀上，触摸更广阔的世界。)可知，此处是指关于学生们成为科学家，应用形容词性物主代词their表示 “他们的”或人称代词宾格them表示“他们”。故填them/their。
30．
考查介词或连词。句意：她说，他们是乐观的，尽管前面有困难/无论前方有什么困难，人类完全理解未知的动力永远不会停止。根据“the drive for humans to fully understand the unknown can never be stopped”可知，此处是指“尽管前面有困难”或“无论前方有什么困难”。空格后是名词difficulties，应用介词despite表示 “尽管”或连词whatever表示“无论什么”。故填despite/whatever。

66．
词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的“the trend to separate sex burials. Starting three years ago, Ms. Matsubara has built an association of nearly 600 women — some divorced, some unhappily married, and some determinedly single — who plan to share a common plot curbed out of an ordinary cemetery in the western suburb of Chofu.(分性埋葬的趋势。从三年前开始，松原女士已经建立了一个由近600名女性组成的协会，其中一些是离婚的，一些是婚姻不幸福的，还有一些是坚定的单身女性。她们计划分享位于Chofu西郊一座普通墓地外的一块空地)”可推知，此处指发起了分性埋葬的趋势。由此推知，划线词与initiate(开始，创始，发起)意思接近。故选A。

根据上文“Microchip implants are essentially cylindrical (长圆形的) bar codes that, when scanned, transmit a unique signal through a layer of skin. (芯片植入物本质上是圆柱形条形码，当扫描时，通过一层皮肤传输独特的信号)”和下文“Today, Biohax is aiming to simplify identity and access in the digital world, offering a replacement to the seemingly endless collection of passwords, keys, tickets and cards that clutter our lives. (今天，Biohax的目标是简化数字世界的身份和访问，提供一种替代似乎无穷无尽的密码、钥匙、票和卡的收集，使我们的生活凌乱不堪)”可知，这里谈的是微芯片的用途。由此可知，D. Mostly, they have been used to organize warehouses or identify lost pets.(大多数情况下，它们被用来管理仓库或识别丢失的宠物)也是讲微芯片的用途，符合本段语境。故选D。
70．
根据上文“Ifeoma Ajunwa at Cornell University adds that it is crucial to consider the implications of this technology in the context of increasing worker surveillance(管制).(康奈尔大学(Cornell University)的Ifeoma Ajunwa补充说，在加强工人监控的背景下考虑这项技术的影响至关重要) ”可知，下文谈的应该是这项技术对管理工人的意义。由此可知，A. Microchips will deepen this dynamic, as they “literally go with the worker whenever they go”.(微芯片将深化这种动态，因为它们“实际上是随员工走的”)符合语境，其中出现的worker属于原词复现。故选A。
71．A study shows that many Americans have never been to some well-known places of interest. While many Americans do have the intention to get out more, lack of money, time and good transportation stopped them from exploring their country, even their own cities. Some other people are just used to their current life and not eager to have further exploration.
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说一项研究发现，25%的美国人没去过所在城市的“地标建筑”。 研究人员发现，阻止美国人探索自己的城市或国家的主要原因是金钱、缺乏时间和缺乏良好的交通工具。有些人只是习惯了他们现在的生活，并不渴望有进一步的探索。

1 要点摘录
①I A new study suggests many Americans have not visited the most popular places of interest around the country or even in their hometown.
②The study found that 25 percent of Americans have yet to visit "iconic landmarks" in their own cities.
③Many Americans say they would like to travel more.

72．Whether there is water on that newly discovered planet still remains a mystery.
Whether there exists water on the newly-discovered planet still remains a mystery. /It still remains a mystery whether there exists water on the newly-discovered planet.
【详解】
考查主语从句。分析句子可知，“那个新发现的星球上是否有水”为主语，可用主语从句表达：Whether there is water on that newly discovered planet；其中there be句型可以使用其变形：There exists ...，意为“存在”；宾语“一个谜”可用a mystery表达；或者用It做形式主语，真正的主语置于句尾，故答案为Whether there is water on that newly discovered planet still remains a mystery./Whether there exists water on the newly-discovered planet still remains a mystery. /It still remains a mystery whether there exists water on the newly-discovered planet.
73．The difference is not happening once in a while, but day after day.
It is not what you do once in a while (occasionally) but what you do day in and day out (every day) that makes the difference.
【详解】
考查时态。由句意可知，时态用现在进行时，主语The difference，谓语is happening，once in a while (偶尔)； day after day (日复一日)。根据句意，故翻译为The difference is not happening once in a while, but day after day.
考查短语、时态或名词性从句和强调句。not...but...(不是……而是)；once in a while (偶尔)；day in and day out (日复一日)；makes a difference (有区别)。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。强调句 It is/was+强调部分+that+其他，强调句中强调主语。强调句中主语是由主语从句构成，主语从句中缺少宾语，且指物，所以用连接词what引导。从句作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。根据句意，故翻译为It is not what you do once in a while (occasionally) but what you do day in and day out (every day) that makes the difference.
74．No matter how long we are apart and how many difficulties we have to overcome, we are still a family with blood thicker than water.
No matter how long we have been parted and how much difficulties we are to go through, we are still family and blood is always thicker than water.
【详解】
考查状语从句和短语。分析句子可知，主句使用一般现在时，从句使用一般现在时或者现在完成时，从句用no matter how引导让步状语从句，主句使用比较级，be parted/apart“分离；分开”，overcome/go through“克服”，with blood thicker than water“血浓于水”或者blood is always thicker than water“血总是比水浓”，故译为No matter how long we are apart and how many difficulties we have to overcome, we are still a family with blood thicker than water./No matter how long we have been parted and how much difficulties we are to go through, we are still family and blood is always thicker than water.
75．The interview found that 83% of the people think that teachers shoulder the responsibility of training the next generation, which is an important factor to improve the cultural quality of the whole people and is worth respect.
(83% percent of those surveyed said that teachers should be held in high esteem because they have a great responsibility crucial to cultivating next generation and raising the intellectual level of people.)
【详解】
考查固定搭配，宾语从句和定语从句。表示“值得……”用短语be worth（doing）sth.；主句谓语动词的宾语部分为宾语从句“教师肩负着培养下一代的重任”，翻译为teachers shoulder the responsibility of training the next generation；“是提高全民文化素质的重要因素，值得尊敬”为定语从句部分，译为“which is an important factor to improve the cultural quality of the whole people and is worth respect.”，which指代上文内容，在从句中充当主语。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为The interview found that 83% of the people think that teachers shoulder the responsibility of training the next generation, which is an important factor to improve the cultural quality of the whole people and is worth respect.
76．Dear Headmaster,
I’m a student in our school, having been exposed to the news that there has been a deserted open space beside our school playground, where it used to be the vegetable field cultivated by our teachers long time ago, and I’m only too anxious to show my humble opinions on the land use. From my perspective, the deserted land will definitely be a perfect place to be transformed as a room for student club activities.
In the first place, this land has aroused heated discussion among our students and I wish to bring to your attention. On one hand, though this land had been served as the vegetable field and multiple functions before, it stays vacant for a long time since it was not suitable for plant vegetables and lack of management. On the other, not only this open space but also every corner in our campus should be used effectively and play its role in school life. Owing to these consideration, we should make a change about this land use.
To improve the situation, it’s advisable for you to renovate the land into a clubhouse. First and foremost, since the clubhouse doesn’t require to be very specious, this land is the very place for student club activities.Besides, it’s also an urgent need for us to have a permanent place to hold various after-class activities. According to our survey based on our students, more than four fifth of us have a desire to own a clubhouse to practise performance and take part in all kinds of activities. Last but not least, as the president of student union, I’m confident that with the joint efforts of every class leader, we can map out a detailed plan to design and arrange this clubhouse in the following weeks.
I hope that the authorities concerned will consider my suggestions seriously and take full advantage of this vacant land to serve the school and our students. Thank you for sparing your time to read my letter and wish our school develop better.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Gang
