For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.How to Make the Most of Your Lunch HourShould you grab a bite at your desk or eat with your colleagues? That depends on what’s on your agenda for the rest of the day.Lunch hours ____21____ (get) shorter and shorter and even disappearing in some parts of today’s working world. With fewer employees ____22____ (ask) to accomplish more in a day many Americans treat lunch not as a break but as just another task to squeeze into an already over-booked day.But do quick meals at the desk actually improve productivity over more leisurely meals?The researchers only studied 32 employees, so the findings are debatable. But when they assigned one group to eat at their desks and another to dine with a colleague at a restaurant, the found those who ate lunch together showed a decline ____23____ their performance on tests that measured concentration, memory and the ability to catch errors and read emotions in facial expressions following lunch than before lunch. Both groups ate the same meals, but those who ate alone were only given 20 minutes to consume their food, ____24____ the paired participants were allowed one hour in the restaurant. Those who ate alone did not have as large a drop in their cognitive processing as those who ate in the restaurant.What was responsible for the change? There were too many variables at play to determine which had the strongest influence on cognitive control-was it the companionship, or was it the restaurant environment ____25____ other diners were present, music was played and the meal was served by wait staff, or was it the longer time to enjoy the meal?____26____ factor was responsible, the group that took: a restaurant lunch break came back more relaxed, say the authors, and that likely affected their cognitive sharpness. Sharing a meal aside the office with a friend appears to have a ____27____ (calm) effect, and while it reduces intellectual skills, it may develop social harmony and teamwork, which ____28____ be an important feature of some work tasks.But don’t feel sorry for the lone lunchers. It turns out ____29____ since they were able to maintain their cognitive skills following the meal, they might be in a better position ____30____ (think) creatively for projects that require more innovative solutions or approaches.【答案】21. are getting 22. asked 23. in 24. while 25. where 26. Whichever/Whatever 27. calming 28. can/may 29. that 30. to thinkSection BDirection: Fill in each blank with a proper word’ chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Genes That Make You SmarterThe contributions genes make to intelligence increase as children grow older. This goes against the idea most people hold that as we age, environmental influences gradually overpower the genetic legacy (遗产) we are born with and may have ____31____ for education.“People assume the genetic influence goes down with age because the environmental differences between people pile up in life,” says Robert Plomin. “What we found was quite ____32____ and goes in the other direction.”Previous studies have shown variations in intelligence are ____33____ due to genetics. To find out whether this genetic contribution varies with age, Plomin’s team gathered data from six separate studies carried out in 4 countries, ____34____ a total of 11000 pairs of twins. The researchers tested twins on reasoning, arithmetics etc. to measure a quantity called “G”. Each study also included both identical twins, with the same genes, and fraternal twin (异卵双生) sharing about half their genes, making it possible to ____35____ the contributions of genes and environment to their G scores.Plomin’s team calculated in childhood, genes account for about 4l percent of the variation in intelligence. In adolescence, this rose to 55 percent; by young adolescence, it was 66 percent.No one ____36____ knows why the influence from genes should increase with age, but Plomin suggests that as children get older, they become better at handling their environment to suit their genetic needs, and says “kids with high G will use their environment to develop their cognitive ability and choose friends who are like-minded, Children with ____37____ to low G may choose less challenging pastimes and activities, further emphasizing their genetic legacy.”Is there any way to interfere with the pattern? Perhaps. “The evidence of strong heritability (遗传可能性) doesn’t mean that there is nothing you can do about it,” says Susanne Jaeggi, “from our own work, the ones that started off with lower IQ scores had higher ____38____ training.”Plomin suggests genetic differences may be more emphasized if all children share an identical curriculum instead of it being ____39____ to children’s natural abilities. “My tendency would be to give everyone a good education, but put more effort into the lower end,” he says.Intelligence researchers Paul Thompson agrees: “It shows that educators need to ____40____ ads towards things drawing out their natural talents.【答案】31.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Open data-sharers are still in the minority in many fields. Although many researchers broadly agree that public access to raw data would promote science, most are ____41____ to post the results of their own labours online.Some communities have agreed to share online-geneticists, for example, post DNA sequences at the GenBank repository (库), and astronomers are accustomed to ____42____ images of galaxies and stars from, say, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a telescope that has observed some 500 million objects-but these remain the ____43____. not the rule. Historically, scientists have ____44____ sharing for many reasons: it is a lot of work, until recently, good databases did not exist; grant funders were not pushing for sharing; it has been difficult to agree on standards for formatting data, and there is no agreed way to assign credit for data.But the ____45____ are disappearing in part because journals and funding agencies worldwide are encouraging scientists to make their data ____46____. Last year, the Royal Society in London said in its report that scientists need to. “ ____47____ a research culture where data is viewed as private preserve”. Funding agencies note that data paid for with public money should be public information, and the scientific community is recognizing that data can now be shared online in ways that were not possible before. To match the growing demand, services are springing up to make it easier to publish research products ____48____ and enable other researchers to discover and cite (引用) them.Although calls to share data often concentrate on the ____49____ advantages of sharing, the practice is not purely beneficial to others. Researchers who share get plenty of personal benefits including more connections with colleagues, improved _____50_____ and increased citations. The most successful sharers- those whose data are downloaded and cited the most often-get noticed, and their work gets used. _____51_____. one of the most popular data sets on multidisciplinary repository Dryad is about wood density around the world; it has been _____52_____ 5700 times. Co-author Amy Zanne thinks that users probably range from climate-change researchers wanting to estimate how much carbon is stored in biomass, to foresters looking for information on different grades of trees. “I’d much prefer to have my date used by the _____53_____ number of people to as their own questions,” she says. “It’s important to allow readers and reviewers to see exactly how you arrive at your results. Publishing data and code allows your science to be _____54_____.”Even people whose data are less popular can benefit. By making the effort to organize and label files so others can understand them, scientists can become more organized and better disciplined themselves, thus avoiding _____55_____ later on.41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B. C and D. Choose the at fits best according to the information given in have just readAIt was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a humble house in Detroit. We watched TV every night.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned--books. So she came home one day, snapped off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.”We complained about how unfair was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.”So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her car on their way to Detroit Public Library, depressed and restless I wandered reluctantly among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page. Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet refuge from my other world.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am a doctor. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in he car for that drive to the library.56.

DCThe company that revolutionized the delivery of information now aims to do the same with electricity, Technology powerhouse Google today announced it would spend “tens of millions” of dollars next year in research and development and investments in an effort to drive down the cost of large-scale renewable energy to make it cheaper than coal, Not only will Google be hiring engineers and energy experts for its new initiative, known as RE<C (renewable energy at less cost than coal), but it also will make investments in new companies-starting with those that focus on solar is not only critical for the environment, and high-altitude wind power. “Cheap renewable energy is not only critical for the environment but also vital for economic development in many places where there is limited affordable energy of any kind,” said Sergey Brin, Google co-founder and president of technology, in a prepared statement.Coal supplies 40 percent of the world’s electricity and more than half of U.S. power, and if current trends continue, it is expected to grab an ever increasing share because it is a plentiful and cheap fuel for big consumers like the United States and Russia. But coal is also the worst fuel in its production of the global warming gas carbon dioxide. Google co-founder Larry Page said the company’ s goal is to produce one gigawatt (十亿瓦特) of renewable energy capacity that is cheaper than coal within “years, not decades.” Google says that’s enough electricity to power a city the size of San Francisco (about 330000 households).Google, located in Mountain View, Calif, said it was initially working with two other California companies. They are e Solar, of Pasadena, which is specializing in solar-thermal power, using large fields of mirrors to concentrate sunlight and generate steam to run utility-scale electric turbines (涡轮), and Makani of Alameda, which is developing wind energy technology that takes advantage of the much stronger and more reliable currents available at high altitudes.Google did not specify how much money it was putting into its projects with these companies but said they both had “promising scalable energy technologies.” This portion of the initiative will be funded through the company’s philanthropic arm, Google.org, which is not a traditional charity but can make equity (股票) investments in companies. Brin and Page have pledged (抵押) 1 percent of Google’s equity and profits toward efforts including climate change and global poverty.The RE<C program is the latest of a series of steps Google has taken on climate change. The company says it is on track in its goal to be carbon neutral in the near future.63. Which one of the following statements is TRUE of the coal?A. It is a kind of controversial fuel given its large quantity and its harm to the environment.B. It is s plentiful and cheap fuel that will surely earn more market shareC. It will be totally replaced by the renewable energy in years because it produces the worst gas-carbon dioxideD. It is supported by some enthusiastic countries like U.S. and Russia which rely heavily on the coal64. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. Google.org has made some crucial decisions in expanding the companyB. Google.org has focused on exploiting alternatives to traditional energyC. Google.org is a charity organization committed to funding the projects benefiting mankindD. Googleorg is an environmental organization that specializes in promoting green fuel65. What can Not be learned about the RE<C Programme?A. It will come true in a few years with the efforts made.B. It is a programme of environmental protection.C. It is one of the measures taken to neutralize carbon.D. It will be realized through investment in solar and wind energy companies.66. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Google’s RE<C ProgrammeB. Google, the Energy RevolutionaryC. Google, the Environmental ProtectorD. Google’s Renewable Energy【答案】63. A 64. C 65. D 66.

Costumed revelers are also searched as they enter the square.Venice is situated across a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges. The islands are located in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay that lies between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers ____69____ The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Although most visitors stick to the traditional Carnival costumes of baroque gowns and be jeweled masks for women and black capes and threatening masks for men, more and more people are opting for their own unique interpretations.Some visitors use Carnival as an opportunity to show off a fantastic creation they’ve always reamed of wearing. It doesn’t have to be Venetian ____70____ At Carnival, everybody is free to who-or what-they want to be. Perhaps a different gender-or even species.

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.Gardening can have many positive effects on your physical and mental health. Whether you’re growing fruit and veggies, flowers or succulents, getting your green thumb on can have a surprising number of health benefits for you and your family.Depending on the size of your garden, maintaining it can be a great way to be physically active. This could be as tough as mowing the lawn, or as gentle as getting a good stretch and practice stabilizing yourself while kneeling, sitting or reaching. In fact, gardening is a recommended activity as it can encourage the use of many motor skills, improve endurance and strength and keep you moving.These days, we can buy pretty much any fruit and vegetable we want from the supermarket, at any time of year. But gardening enables us to eat seasonally, which has important benefits for our bodies. For example, asparagus and apricots grow in spring and summer, while Brussels grouts get going in winter. Eating seasonally can keep healthy eating exciting by encouraging you to try new recipes using in-season produce. You will also get a wider variety of different coloured produce, providing nutritious vitamins and minerals in your diet throughout the year as the produce you eat changes with the seasons.Gardening is also a great way to relax, providing opportunities to still the mind and get away from the busyness of everyday life. There is even evidence to suggest that gardening can help ease symptoms of mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. Whether you’re gardening by yourself, or getting the whole family involved, it’s a great way to spend some time outdoors, away from screens and to-do lists, and engage with nature. From repetitive tasks like weeding that provide opportunity for meditation, to practising patience while waiting for plants to grow, gardening is a great exercise for your mind as well as your body.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】Gardening may bring positive benefits to your fitness physically and mentally.
