A.London B.Oxford UniversityC.Windsor Castle D.Bath House23.We can learn from the text that . A.the historical ruins of Bath are not worth visiting B.London is no longer a popular tourist destinationC.visitors will be received by the Queen in Windsor CastleD.the large number of college students adds freshness to OxfordBHow does an ecosystem(生态系统) work?What makes the populations of different species the way they are?Why are there so many flies and so few wolves?To find an answer,scientists have built mathematical models of food webs,noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.With such models,scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs.Most food webs,for instance,consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones.When a predator(掠食动物) always eats huge numbers of single prey(猎物),the two species are strongly linked;when a predator lives on various species,they are weakly linked.Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term.If a predator can eat several species,it can survive the extinction(灭绝) of one of them.And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare,the switch allows the original prey to recover.The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable,where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems.In the 1960s,scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true.In the ocean,we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale,while on land,we killed off large predators such as wolves.These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models.Ideally,the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline.Prevention is key,scientists say,because once ecosystems pass their tipping point(临界点),it is remarkably difficult for them to return.24.What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food webs?A.The living habits of species in food webs.B.The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.C.The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.D.The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.25.A strong link is found between two species when a predator . A.has a wide food choice B.can easily find new preyC.sticks to one prey species D.can quickly move to another place26.What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?A.The prey species they directly attack will die out.B.The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.C.The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.D.The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.27.What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in paragraph 4?A.Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.B.Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.C.Species of commercial value dominate other species.D.Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.CYou are drinking plastic,I’m drinking plastic and we’re all drinking plastic.Bottled water drinkers may be drinking the most plastic of all.A new study released by Orb Media evaluates that on average,a liter of bottled water from big brands like Dasani,Aquafina,and Nestle,contains roughly 10.4 tiny plastic bits.The world drinks them in swiftly,consuming roughly a million plastic bottles a minute,as The Guardian evaluates.Aquafina and Dasani both said that their bottled water was tested on strict standards.Nestle said the company hadn’t found microplastics in its water bottles beyond a “trace(微量)level”.Evian did not immediately respond to a request for comment.In our modern,plastic-filling world,these little plastic bits—many thinner than a human hair—seem to be very common everywhere.We don’t know exactly what these plastic parts are doing to our bodies,but we’re drinking them in any way.That’s an alarming possibility,because in the ocean,these little plastics are doing harmful things to fish.In some species,they’re even slowing down growth and reproduction.While there isn’t clear evidence yet that the plastics in single-use water bottles can increase cancer risk,we know that bottles containing a chemical called Bisphenol A(BPA) do.The hard BPA plastics in certain reusable water bottles can lead to higher risks of breast cancer,and other diseases.And a few studies suggest the softer kinds of single-use water bottles can have similar chemicals inside.The tiny plastic bits aren’t just in our bottles.They come out of our taps,too.The tiny plastics are also swimming in the seas and disturbing the way fish eat.In some countries,microplastics are even slipping into the salt markets.Even Dasani wrote in its statement:“It’s clear the world has a problem with plastic waste.”28.What can we infer about Evian?A.It is a social medium.B.It produces a chemical.C.It can be a plastic bottle.D.It can be a water company.29.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A.Describe basic facts about plastics.B.Focus on the potential danger of plastics.C.Discuss the living conditions of fish.D.Illustrate the part plastics are playing.30.What does the author’s attitude towards microplastics?A.Anxious. B.Positive.C.Disappointed. D.Uncaring.31.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Here’s What Microplastics in Bottled Water DoB.Bottled Water Does Harm to the EnvironmentC.The Importance of Recycling Water BottlesD.Species Are Suffering From MicroplasticsDAccording to NASA,the International Space Station (ISS) will operate until 2030 before crashing into the Pacific Ocean in early 2031.In a report,the US space agency stated the ISS would fall into an area of the ocean known as Point Nemo.This is the furthest point on Earth from land,also known as the spacecraft cemetery.Many old satellites and other space debris have crashed there,including the Russian space station Mir in 2001.The International Space Station (ISS) has been in orbit since 1998 and has been continually crewed since 2000,thanks to a collaborative initiative comprising five space agencies.In its microgravity laboratory,more than 3,000 scientific studies have taken place.It is,however,only permitted to run until 2024,and all partners must accept any extension.According to NASA,the intention to decommission(关闭) the ISS represented a shift to the private sector for operations in low-Earth orbit or space around Earth.Phil McAlister,director of commercial space at NASA Headquarters,said,“The private sector is technically and financially capable of creating and managing retail(零售) low-Earth orbit destinations with NASA’s help.We hope commercial space activities near Earth will take the lead in the future,says NASA.”NASA granted a contract to Axiom Space,a Texas-based firm,in 2020 to build at least one livable module for the ISS.It has also given money to three businesses to help them make concepts for space stations and other commercial space destinations.It is hoped that these new projects will be operational in some capacity before the ISS is decommissioned.NASA claimed it intended to develop a strong,American-led commercial economy in low-Earth orbit.The commercial sector is already a vital aspect of the US space programme,with private corporations responsible for carrying people and cargo.NASA claims that switching to the commercial sector for low-Earth orbit operations will save $1.3 billion money that can be spent on deep-space research instead.The space agency expects to save money since it will only pay for its required services rather than the ISS’s upkeep and operations.NASA also points out that the private sector space stations will be newer and need fewer spare parts.32.What do we know about Point Nemo from this text?A.It is a cemetery for dead people.B.It is a place to bury outdated satellites.C.It is a small island in Russia.D.It is an airport for landing old planes.33.What’s NASA’s plan to make further use of the ISS?A.To turn it into commercial use.B.To bury it into the sea.C.To make it carry passengers on land.D.To exhibit it in a museum.34.What’s Phil McAlister’s attitude to ISS’s shift to the new operations around the earth?A.Pessimistic. B.Opposed.C.Uncertain. D.Confident.35.What is the United States’ space programme mentioned in this text?A.To shut off the ISS completely by 2030.B.To reach an agreement with Axiom Space.C.To start a commercial economy in low-earth orbit.D.To build a livable module for the ISS.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Exoplanets(系外行星):The Hunt Is OnToday scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars.For centuries,scientists and natural philosophers have indicated that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. 36 However,we have developed the technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades. In 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable”(宜居的)zone.This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water.So far,only a small part of our galaxy,the Milky Way,has been explored. 37 Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars,it is very difficult to see them directly. 38 For example,as a planet circles a star,it pulls on it and causes it to shake.As the star moves unsteadily,it changes the wavelength of the light we see.Measuring these slight changes is another method of discovering planets. 39 When an exoplanet moves between its star and us,it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness.By measuring this drop,NASA’s Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets. 40 As time progresses and technology improves,who knows what else we may find! A.It is one of the most productive methods.B.Therefore,scientists use indirect methods.C.These are just two examples of the methods scientists use.D.Even so,scientists have confirmed more than 3,500 exoplanets.E.Astronomers have received signals indicating the presence of a planet.F.Direct observation of the exoplanets is becoming increasingly possible.G.The existence of extrasolar planets,or exoplanets,has long been discussed.第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。There is something unpleasant happening all over the world every day and maybe you’ve seen news reports about people who need help after a natural 41 or animals in need.Or perhaps you’ve watched TV programmes about how 42 older people can get. So what can you do about any of those things?The answer:You can volunteer.Volunteering gives you a(n) 43 to change people’s lives,including your own.Helping others in need is such an important part of the American way of life that many high schools 44 their students to spend a certain number of hours volunteering in order to 45 . Volunteering isn’t like school:Instead of having the choices made for you about where to go and what 46 to learn,you can choose what really 47 you and who (or what) is most deserving(值得的) of your time. If you like animals,help out at a local animal 48 .Most refuges(避难所) depend on volunteers to keep the cats and dogs 49 and well exercised. If you have a friend or a relative who has or had a(n) 50 problem(like cancer,HIV,for example),you might be inspired to 51 your time to helping an organisation that raises money for research,delivers meals,or 52 other help to people with the illness. If you like 53 ,there are lots of volunteering chances—from being a Big Brother or Big Sister to help out in an after-school sports programme. 54 also can:serve food at a homeless shelter;take part in a park clean-up day. And if you have more than one thing you 55 ,you can combine(结合) them.For example,if you love kids and are great at arts and crafts(工艺),visit your local children’s hospital and offer to lead art activities for young patients. 41.A.disaster B.trackC.business D.event42.A.alone B.lonelyC.willing D.reliable43.A.outline B.shortcomingC.judge D.chance44.A.beg B.requireC.hope D.agree45.A.reward B.determineC.learn D.graduate46.A.tips B.subjectsC.phrases D.stages47.A.interests B.upsetsC.shocks D.congratulates48.A.park B.gardenC.shelter D.mine49.A.happy B.kindC.sad D.cruel50.A.mental B.physicalC.ugly D.selfish51.A.take B.spendC.devote D.save52.A.swaps B.packsC.commands D.offers53.A.animals B.toysC.languages D.children54.A.He B.SheC.You D.They55.A.ignore B.likeC.recognise D.hate第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。How to Help Save the EnvironmentPeople release(放飞) balloons for special occasions like memorial services and grand openings.It is fun and exciting.But it really brings great destruction to the environment and threatens the 56. (life) of the wildlife. When a balloon 57. (fly) into the sky,it doesn’t end up 58. (stay)there.It eventually bursts and returns to the Earth as ugly litter.Balloons can travel thousands of miles and pollute the most remote and pure places.More 59. (sad),they can present a threat to many animals.Birds,whales,turtles and other animals often mistake balloons 60. food,which can do damage to them because balloons contain 61. (harm) chemicals.Balloons can even kill animals.When an animal swallows a balloon,the balloon can block its intestinal tract(肠道),resulting in starvation. One reason why releasing balloons 62. (permit) in so many places is that some balloons do break down eventually.However,it takes about four years 63. (break) down completely. Watching hundreds of balloons slowly going up into the sky might give you a five-second thrill,64. is it worth doing,resulting in a bunch of dead animals and so many places full of rubbish?Absolutely not!65. we should do is to get more creative and come up with alternative ways to celebrate. 第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)为配合学校开展的垃圾分类工作,学生会向全校学生发出了“垃圾分类,从我做起”的倡议。请你代表学生会,用英语写一封倡议书,内容包括:1.垃圾分类的做法;2.垃圾分类的益处;3.呼吁全体学生一起参加。注意:1.词数80左右;2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 参考词汇:垃圾分类garbage classification;厨余垃圾leftovers;废旧电池used batteries 第二节(满分25分)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。Don’t Be Afraid to Make MistakesThis story is about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs.He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more creative than the average person.What set him so far apart from others?He responded that,in his opinion,it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell,spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor—a veritable sea of milk!When his mother came into the kitchen,instead of yelling at him,giving him a lecture,or punishing him,she said,“Robert,what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk.Well,the damage has already been done.Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”Indeed,he did.After a few minutes,his mother said,“You know,Robert,whenever you make a mess like this,eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order.So,how would you like to do that?We could use a sponge,a towel,or a mop.Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said,“You know,what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. 答案：附:听力原文(Text 1)W:Have you finished all the things on the list?M:Well,I took out the trash,but I forgot to pick up milk and eggs at the grocery store.W:Oh,no!I guess we’ll have to keep up our instant noodle diet for breakfast tomorrow morning!(Text 2)W:I need to prepare a presentation on an outstanding Austrian person.Who do you think I should choose?M:I think you should choose someone who not only is interesting,but also has an inspiring story to tell.(Text 3)M:Can we work on the plans for the party in about ten minutes?W:I’d like to,but I’ve just promised Dottie I’ll help her with her science report then.(Text 4)W:What seems to be the problem?M:My throat hurts,and I can’t stop coughing.W:It sounds like you’ve caught a cold.Here’s a prescription for some medicine.You should stay home and rest.Make sure you drink plenty of water.(Text 5)W:Bill,can I see your notes from the history lecture?I seem to be missing a page.M:Sorry,Jill.I was absent yesterday.Why not use your roommate’s outline to study?W:Cathy’s not answering her phone.(Text 6)W:What’s the date today,Dad?M:It’s June 3rd.Why do you ask,Flora?W:Did you remember Mom’s birthday?I completely forgot to get her a present.M:Well,not everyone forgot.I ordered some jewelry online four days ago.It should be coming in the mail tomorrow.W:I can’t think of anything to get for her.Do you have any ideas?M:Maybe you could just throw her a surprise party with some decorations and a cake.W:That would be a great idea.Maybe I could make her something.M:You could make her a sweater.W:In two days?I don’t think so.I could definitely do a scarf,though...(Text 7)M:Did you sign up for the modern art field trip?W:I wasn’t sure if I would be able to afford to go.M:It only costs fifty dollars.Don’t you get a big allowance from your dad?W:I’m not talking about money.I don’t think I can spare the time away from studying just to entertain myself for a few days.M:But it will be worth it!You can always study,but when will you be able to see famous artworks from this century?W:I can see it any time I want on the Internet.M:You’re going to end up a bookworm with no experience.Won’t you be sorry later on in life?W:Hmm.I suppose a trip to Hong Kong would be worth it.I’m sure I can study on the train.(Text 8)W:Excuse me.Could you tell me where the nearest grocery store is?M:There’s one a few blocks from here.W:Is it close enough to walk there?M:Yeah,just continue on this street for a few blocks and turn right on the second street.Then you’ll go about a block or two and turn left.Actually,I am not sure exactly how far it is.W:What is it close to?M:It’s next to the big park with a children’s playhouse.W:I don’t think I know the area well enough to recognise that.M:Maybe you should download the Google Maps app.It will show you everything in the area,and it can give you better directions than me.W:Great!Can I see it on your phone?M:Of course.It’s this one...Oh,no!My phone is running out of battery.I’ll write down the name of it,and you can download it yourself.W:OK.Thanks for your help.(Text 9)W:Mark is so popular.Everywhere I go,people know him.He must be a native of Chicago.M:No,he’s been here for only one year.I’ve been in town twice as long as he has,and it seems I only have a handful of friends.W:That’s amazing.Why is he so popular?M:Well,it’s probably his personality.He’s funny,of course,but I think people like him because he is always willing to spend time with them and help others.W:That would explain it.What about you?Why are you having trouble keeping up with Mark?M:I don’t know,but it’s probably because I’m the opposite of Mark.I’m always serious.My work is busy,too,so I don’t have a chance to meet many people.W:Do you want me to throw a party to introduce you to some of my friends,John?M:Jessica,I want to meet them,but I’m a little shy.Do you think I really need as many friends as Mark?W:Maybe not,but don’t you wish you could spend more time with other people?M:Sometimes.But I can always go online and chat with someone,so I don’t think I need to be so popular.(Text 10)M:Welcome to English 1004,section 7!This class is called Introduction to Academic Writing,and the university requires successful completion of this class to continue as a student here.For those of you in Engineering,you’ll be required to get a C or better.Students in the Business School may pass with a B,and everyone else just needs to get a D or above.We have class three times a week for 15 weeks.You must come to all the classes.If you look at your course description on page 2,you’ll see the attendance policy.If you’re absent for 10% of the classes,your final

students,Our school has started a programme of garbage classification.Different kinds of garbage are required to be sorted out and placed in different dustbins.Paper can be recycled,while leftovers can be collected as food for pigs or processed as fertilisers for plants.Above all,such harmful things as plastics and used batteries should not be mixed with other wastes.The programme is of great benefit.Not only will we be able to save resources by making use of recyclable garbage,but harmful things will not pollute our environment after special treatment.So let’s work together for a better campus!Students’ Union第二节His mother then said,“You know,what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands.Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands,he could carry it without dropping it.What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead,he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new,which is,after all,what scientific experiments are all about.Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”,we can usually learn something valuable from it.Just as a famous saying goes,failure is the mother of success.

A.London B.Oxford UniversityC.Windsor Castle D.Bath House23.We can learn from the text that . A.the historical ruins of Bath are not worth visiting B.London is no longer a popular tourist destinationC.visitors will be received by the Queen in Windsor CastleD.the large number of college students adds freshness to OxfordBHow does an ecosystem(生态系统) work?What makes the populations of different species the way they are?Why are there so many flies and so few wolves?To find an answer,scientists have built mathematical models of food webs,noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.With such models,scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs.Most food webs,for instance,consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones.When a predator(掠食动物) always eats huge numbers of single prey(猎物),the two species are strongly linked;when a predator lives on various species,they are weakly linked.Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term.If a predator can eat several species,it can survive the extinction(灭绝) of one of them.And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare,the switch allows the original prey to recover.The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable,where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems.In the 1960s,scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true.In the ocean,we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale,while on land,we killed off large predators such as wolves.These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models.Ideally,the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline.Prevention is key,scientists say,because once ecosystems pass their tipping point(临界点),it is remarkably difficult for them to return.24.What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food webs?A.The living habits of species in food webs.B.The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.C.The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.D.The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.25.A strong link is found between two species when a predator . A.has a wide food choice B.can easily find new preyC.sticks to one prey species D.can quickly move to another place26.What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?A.The prey species they directly attack will die out.B.The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.C.The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.D.The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.27.What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in paragraph 4?A.Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.B.Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.C.Species of commercial value dominate other species.D.Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.CYou are drinking plastic,I’m drinking plastic and we’re all drinking plastic.Bottled water drinkers may be drinking the most plastic of all.A new study released by Orb Media evaluates that on average,a liter of bottled water from big brands like Dasani,Aquafina,and Nestle,contains roughly 10.4 tiny plastic bits.The world drinks them in swiftly,consuming roughly a million plastic bottles a minute,as The Guardian evaluates.Aquafina and Dasani both said that their bottled water was tested on strict standards.Nestle said the company hadn’t found microplastics in its water bottles beyond a “trace(微量)level”.Evian did not immediately respond to a request for comment.In our modern,plastic-filling world,these little plastic bits—many thinner than a human hair—seem to be very common everywhere.We don’t know exactly what these plastic parts are doing to our bodies,but we’re drinking them in any way.That’s an alarming possibility,because in the ocean,these little plastics are doing harmful things to fish.In some species,they’re even slowing down growth and reproduction.While there isn’t clear evidence yet that the plastics in single-use water bottles can increase cancer risk,we know that bottles containing a chemical called Bisphenol A(BPA) do.The hard BPA plastics in certain reusable water bottles can lead to higher risks of breast cancer,and other diseases.And a few studies suggest the softer kinds of single-use water bottles can have similar chemicals inside.The tiny plastic bits aren’t just in our bottles.They come out of our taps,too.The tiny plastics are also swimming in the seas and disturbing the way fish eat.In some countries,microplastics are even slipping into the salt markets.Even Dasani wrote in its statement:“It’s clear the world has a problem with plastic waste.”28.What can we infer about Evian?A.It is a social medium.B.It produces a chemical.C.It can be a plastic bottle.D.It can be a water company.29.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A.Describe basic facts about plastics.B.Focus on the potential danger of plastics.C.Discuss the living conditions of fish.D.Illustrate the part plastics are playing.30.What does the author’s attitude towards microplastics?A.Anxious. B.Positive.C.Disappointed. D.Uncaring.31.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Here’s What Microplastics in Bottled Water DoB.Bottled Water Does Harm to the EnvironmentC.The Importance of Recycling Water BottlesD.Species Are Suffering From MicroplasticsDAccording to NASA,the International Space Station (ISS) will operate until 2030 before crashing into the Pacific Ocean in early 2031.In a report,the US space agency stated the ISS would fall into an area of the ocean known as Point Nemo.This is the furthest point on Earth from land,also known as the spacecraft cemetery.Many old satellites and other space debris have crashed there,including the Russian space station Mir in 2001.The International Space Station (ISS) has been in orbit since 1998 and has been continually crewed since 2000,thanks to a collaborative initiative comprising five space agencies.In its microgravity laboratory,more than 3,000 scientific studies have taken place.It is,however,only permitted to run until 2024,and all partners must accept any extension.According to NASA,the intention to decommission(关闭) the ISS represented a shift to the private sector for operations in low-Earth orbit or space around Earth.Phil McAlister,director of commercial space at NASA Headquarters,said,“The private sector is technically and financially capable of creating and managing retail(零售) low-Earth orbit destinations with NASA’s help.We hope commercial space activities near Earth will take the lead in the future,says NASA.”NASA granted a contract to Axiom Space,a Texas-based firm,in 2020 to build at least one livable module for the ISS.It has also given money to three businesses to help them make concepts for space stations and other commercial space destinations.It is hoped that these new projects will be operational in some capacity before the ISS is decommissioned.NASA claimed it intended to develop a strong,American-led commercial economy in low-Earth orbit.The commercial sector is already a vital aspect of the US space programme,with private corporations responsible for carrying people and cargo.NASA claims that switching to the commercial sector for low-Earth orbit operations will save $1.3 billion money that can be spent on deep-space research instead.The space agency expects to save money since it will only pay for its required services rather than the ISS’s upkeep and operations.NASA also points out that the private sector space stations will be newer and need fewer spare parts.32.What do we know about Point Nemo from this text?A.It is a cemetery for dead people.B.It is a place to bury outdated satellites.C.It is a small island in Russia.D.It is an airport for landing old planes.33.What’s NASA’s plan to make further use of the ISS?A.To turn it into commercial use.B.To bury it into the sea.C.To make it carry passengers on land.D.To exhibit it in a museum.34.What’s Phil McAlister’s attitude to ISS’s shift to the new operations around the earth?A.Pessimistic. B.Opposed.C.Uncertain. D.Confident.35.What is the United States’ space programme mentioned in this text?A.To shut off the ISS completely by 2030.B.To reach an agreement with Axiom Space.C.To start a commercial economy in low-earth orbit.D.To build a livable module for the ISS.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Exoplanets(系外行星):The Hunt Is OnToday scientists believe that planets could outnumber the stars.For centuries,scientists and natural philosophers have indicated that stars in the night sky have planetary systems similar to our own solar system. 36 However,we have developed the technology to prove their existence only in the last few decades. In 2015 NASA’s Kepler space telescope found its first Earth-sized planet in a “habitable”(宜居的)zone.This is the distance from a star where surface temperatures of a planet wouldn’t be too hot or too cold for liquid water.So far,only a small part of our galaxy,the Milky Way,has been explored. 37 Because exoplanets are so far away and very close to stars,it is very difficult to see them directly. 38 For example,as a planet circles a star,it pulls on it and causes it to shake.As the star moves unsteadily,it changes the wavelength of the light we see.Measuring these slight changes is another method of discovering planets. 39 When an exoplanet moves between its star and us,it causes a small drop in the star’s brightness.By measuring this drop,NASA’s Kepler space telescope has discovered many exoplanets. 40 As time progresses and technology improves,who knows what else we may find! A.It is one of the most productive methods.B.Therefore,scientists use indirect methods.C.These are just two examples of the methods scientists use.D.Even so,scientists have confirmed more than 3,500 exoplanets.E.Astronomers have received signals indicating the presence of a planet.F.Direct observation of the exoplanets is becoming increasingly possible.G.The existence of extrasolar planets,or exoplanets,has long been discussed.第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。There is something unpleasant happening all over the world every day and maybe you’ve seen news reports about people who need help after a natural 41 or animals in need.Or perhaps you’ve watched TV programmes about how 42 older people can get. So what can you do about any of those things?The answer:You can volunteer.Volunteering gives you a(n) 43 to change people’s lives,including your own.Helping others in need is such an important part of the American way of life that many high schools 44 their students to spend a certain number of hours volunteering in order to 45 . Volunteering isn’t like school:Instead of having the choices made for you about where to go and what 46 to learn,you can choose what really 47 you and who (or what) is most deserving(值得的) of your time. If you like animals,help out at a local animal 48 .Most refuges(避难所) depend on volunteers to keep the cats and dogs 49 and well exercised. If you have a friend or a relative who has or had a(n) 50 problem(like cancer,HIV,for example),you might be inspired to 51 your time to helping an organisation that raises money for research,delivers meals,or 52 other help to people with the illness. If you like 53 ,there are lots of volunteering chances—from being a Big Brother or Big Sister to help out in an after-school sports programme. 54 also can:serve food at a homeless shelter;take part in a park clean-up day.

I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk.Well,the damage has already been done.Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”Indeed,he did.After a few minutes,his mother said,“You know,Robert,whenever you make a mess like this,eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order.So,how would you like to do that?We could use a sponge,a towel,or a mop.Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said,“You know,what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. 答案：附:听力原文(Text 1)W:Have you finished all the things on the list?M:Well,I took out

be a great idea.Maybe I could make her something.M:You could make her a sweater.W:In two days?I don’t think so.I could definitely do a scarf,though...(Text 7)M:Did you sign up for the modern art field trip?W:I wasn’t sure if I would be able to afford to go.M:It only costs fifty dollars.Don’t you get a big allowance from your dad?W:I’m not talking about money.I don’t think I can spare the time away from studying just to entertain myself for a few days.M:But it will be worth it!You can always study,but when will you be able to see famous artworks from this century?W:I can see it any time I want on the Internet.M:You’re going to end up a bookworm with no experience.Won’t you be sorry later on in life?W:Hmm.I suppose a trip to Hong Kong would be worth it.I’m sure I can study on the train.(Text 8)W:Excuse me.Could you tell me where the nearest grocery store is?M:There’s one a few blocks from here.W:Is it close enough to walk there?M:Yeah,just continue on this street for a few blocks and turn right on the second street.Then you’ll go about a block or two and turn left.Actually,I am not sure exactly how far it is.W:What is it close to?M:It’s next to the big park with a children’s playhouse.W:I don’t think I know the area well enough to recognise that.M:Maybe you should download the Google Maps app.It will show you everything in the area,and it can give you better directions than me.W:Great!Can I see it on your phone?M:Of course.It’s this one...Oh,no!My phone is running out of battery.I’ll write down the name of it,and you can download it yourself.W:OK.Thanks for your help.(Text 9)W:Mark is so popular.Everywhere I go,people know him.He must be a native of Chicago.M:No,he’s been here for only one year.I’ve been in town twice as long as he has,and it seems I only have a handful of friends.W:That’s amazing.Why is he so popular?M:Well,it’s probably his personality.He’s funny,of course,but I think people like him because he is always willing to spend time with them and help others.W:That would explain it.What about you?Why are you having trouble keeping up with Mark?M:I don’t know,but it’s probably because I’m the opposite of Mark.I’m always serious.My work is busy,too,so I don’t have a chance to meet many people.W:Do you want me to throw a party to introduce you to some of my friends,John?M:Jessica,I want to meet them,but I’m a little shy.Do you think I really need as many friends as Mark?W:Maybe not,but don’t you wish you could spend more time with other people?M:Sometimes.But I can always go online and chat with someone,so I don’t think I need to be so popular.(Text 10)M:Welcome to English 1004,section 7!This class is called Introduction to Academic Writing,and the university requires successful completion of this class to continue as a

students,Our school has started a programme of garbage classification.Different kinds of garbage are required to be sorted out and placed in different dustbins.Paper can be recycled,while leftovers can be collected as food for pigs or processed as fertilisers for plants.Above all,such harmful things as plastics and used batteries should not be mixed with other wastes.The programme is of great benefit.Not only will we be able to save resources by making use of recyclable garbage,but harmful things will not pollute our environment after special treatment.So let’s work together for a better campus!Students’ Union第二节His mother then said,“You know,what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands.Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands,he could carry it without dropping it.What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead,he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new,which is,after all,what scientific experiments are all about.Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”,we can usually learn something valuable from it.Just as a famous saying goes,failure is the mother of success.
