Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Since astronomers confirmed the presence of planets beyond our solar system, called exoplanets, humans (21) __________ (wonder) how many could harbor life.
Now, we’re one step closer to (22) __________ (find) an answer. According to the Kepler space telescope,about half the stars similar in temperature (23) __________ our Sun could have a rocky planet capable of supporting liquid water on its surface.
Our galaxy holds at least an (24) __________ (estimate) 300 million of these potentially habitable worlds, based on even the most conservative interpretation of the results in anew study to be published in The Astronomical Journal.
This research helps us understand the potential for these planets (25) __________ (support) life. This is an essential part of astrobiology, the study of life’s origins and future in our universe.
The study is authored by NASA scientists (26) __________ worked on the Kepler mission alongside collaborators from around the world. NASA retired the space telescope in 2018after it ran out of fuel. Nine years of the telescope’s observations revealed that there are billions of planets in our galaxy--more planets than stars.
(27) __________ this result is far from a final value, it’s extremely exciting that we calculated that these worlds are this common with such high confidence.
That’s a wide range of different stars, each with (28) __________ own particular properties impacting whether the rocky planets in its orbit are capable of supporting liquid water.These complexities are partly why it is so difficult to calculate how many potentially habitable planets are out there, especially when even our (29) __________(powerful) telescopes can just barely detect these small planets. That’s __________ (30) the research team took a new approach.

Employee (32) _________ are commonplace these days. Traditionally, these have included a good pension and extra days off work.

Now when millennials are (33) _________ a position, they want to know the benefits they’ll get on top of their pay.
But these perks come at a cost to an employer, and now technology is being used to discover if and when they offer value for money. The idea aims to enable a company to tailor what it can offer to (34) _________ and retain the right staff.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Racial Discrimination in Science
You might expect that science,particularly American science, would be colour-blind. Once someone from the country’s ethnic minorities has got bench space in a laboratory, he might reasonably (41) _________ to be treated on merit (功绩) and nothing else.
(42) _________, a study just published in Science by Donna Ginther of the University of Kansas suggests that is not true. Dr Ginther, who was working (43) _________ America’s National Institutes of Health (NIH), found that (44) _________ matters a lot.Moreover, it is not just a question of white supremacy. Asian and Hispanic scientists do just as well as white ones. Black scientists, (45) _________, do badly.
One possible explanation is that review panels are inferring applicants’ ethnic (46) _________ from their names, or the institutions they attended as students. Consciously or not,the reviewers may then be awarding less merit to those from people with“black-sounding” names, or who were educated at universities whose students are predominantly black. Indeed, a(n) (47) _________bias has been found in those recruiting for jobs in the commercial world. One well-known study, published in 2003 by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago, found that fictitious CVs (简历) with stereo typically white names elicited 50% more (48) _________ of interviews than did CVs with black names, even when the applicants’ stated (49) _________ were identical.
Another possible explanation is social (50) _________: It is in the nature of groups of experts(which is precisely what peer-review panels are) to know both each other and each other’s most promising acolytes. Applicants outside this charmed circle might have less chance of (51) _________ consideration. If the charmed circle itself were racially unrepresentative, those (52) _________ from the network because their racial group was under-represented in the first place would find it harder to break in.
Though Dr Ginther’s results are (53) _________, it is to the NIH’s credit that it has published her findings. The agency is also starting a programme intended to alter the (54)_________ of the review panels to see whether excising potential racial cues from applications changes outcomes. Other agencies, and not just in America, should pay strict attention to all this, and ask themselves if they, too, are (55)_________ people of particular races. Such discrimination is not only disgraceful, but also a stupid waste of talent!

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
At the 4th Street Photo Gallery on the comer of the Bowery, many photos are strung together like clothes on a laundry line. There are portraits of Muhammad Ali and Jean-Michel Basquiat, plus a series of cityscapes detailedly captured over 60 years by Alex Harsley, a neglected but talented New York photographer.
The city has been Mr Harsley's home since 1948, when, aged ten, he moved there from South Carolina. He took his first photograph ten years later, and became the first black photographer to work for the city's district attorney's office. His vivid pictures freeze moments in New York's evolution from the 1950s to the present, “It could start with the smell of something burning/' he says of his method. "And then you see a family sitting on the steps of a funeral home sadly looking at the firemen going through their routine.”
Some of the scenes in the collection were captured from the window of his old apartment in Harlem; they include images of black activists, streets submerged in snow and shots of the Crown Heights riots of 1991. A.D. Coleman, a photography critic, says Mr. Harsley has been able to capture the lives of minority groups by making himself “invisible”. His aim has been to assemble these fragments(片段) into an extended history of the city.
Mr. Harsley's gallery is a time capsule. For decades, it is also a hub for the city's artistic underworld. In the 1970s New York's photography scene was flourishing, but exclusive. As Mr. Harsley puts it, “a number of great artists were swept aside” because they lacked connections. Helping talent became part of his mission. In 1971 he established The Minority Photographers, an organization that helps up-and-coming artists exhibit their work. He opened his gallery two years later; many photographers have had their first shows there.
56. How does the author describe Alex Harsley in the first paragraph?
A. undervalued but expert
B. gifted but exclusive
C. unknown but devoted
D. gifted but awkward
57. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. His pictures show freezing weather in New York from the 1950s to the present.
B. His pictures capture the cheerful moments in New York since the 1950s.
C. His pictures record some historic occasions of New York over the past decades.
D. His pictures illustrate the vivid lives of minority groups in New York over the past decades.
58. Why does Mr. Harsley make himself "invisible"?
A. To assemble the minority groups of the city.
B. To highlight the lives of minority groups.
C. To help promising artists attract more public attention.
D. To build connections between the minority groups and himself.
59. How did Mr. Harsley help the other artists?
A. He excluded those who looked down upon the unknown artists.
B. He set an organization displaying their works.
C. He established the connections between up-and-coming artists and famous ones.
D. He reduced the rents of the gallery where their photography works were shown.

(C)
That easterners and westerners think in different ways is not mere prejudice. Many psychological studies conducted over the past two decades suggest Westerners have a more individualistic, analytic and abstract mental life than do East Asians. Several hypotheses (假设) have been put forward to explain this.
One, that modernization promotes individualism, falls at the first hurdle: Japan, an ultra-modem country whose people have retained a collective outlook. A second, that a higher rate of infectious disease in a place makes contact with strangers more dangerous, and causes groups to turn inward, is hardly better. Europe has had its share of plagues; probably more than either Japan or Korea.
That led Thomas Talheim of the University of Virginia and his colleagues to look into a third suggestion: that the crucial difference is agricultural. The basic West crop is wheat; the East's rice. Before the mechanization of agriculture a farmer who grew rice had to spend twice as many hours doing so as one who grew wheat. To organize labour efficiently, especially at times of planting and harvesting, rice-growing societies as far apart as India, Malaysia and Japan all develop co-operative labour exchanges which let neighbors stagger their farms' schedules in order to assist each other during these crucial periods. Since, until recently almost everyone alive was a farmer, it is a reasonable hypothesis that such a collective outlook would dominate a society's culture and behaviour, and might prove so deep-rooted that even now, when most people earn their living in other ways, it helps to define their lives.
Mr. Talheim realized that this idea is testable. Large areas of Asia, particularly in the north, depend not on rice, but on wheat. That, as he explains in a paper in Science, let him and his team put some flesh on this theory's bones. The team gathered almost 1,200 volunteers from all over Asia and asked them questions to assess their individualism or collectivism. The answers bore little relation to the wealth of a volunteer's place of origin. There was a striking correlation, though, with whether it was a rice-growing or a wheat-growing area. This difference was marked even between people from neighbouring counties with different agricultural traditions.
Undoubtedly, Talheim's hypothesis has pointed to a direction worth further exploration. Viewing the message from modernized countries such as Japan, Korea and Singapore, which still hold on to collectivism, perhaps we can say: Asian values-with their principles of mutual support and collective action-are only "Asian" because back in ancient times, farmers in many parts of that continent found rice a more suitable crop to grow than wheat.
63. According to the second paragraph, which statement does die author most probably agree with?
A. The first hypothesis fails to justify Japan's ever-keeping collectivism as well as the second.
B. The exposure to plague outbreaks increases the probability of the Europeans to turn back to individualism.
C. Modernized Japan stays close to collectivism as firmly as Europe maintains individualism in the times of plague.
D. Neither modernization, as with Europe, nor the once prevailing plague, as with Japan, gives any evidence that promotes individualism.
64. What does the underlined word “stagger” probably mean?
A. arrange events so that they do not happen at the same time
B. help something to develop more strongly because it's about to collapse
C. plan or organize something in advance to make it neat or attractive
D. offer something to somebody and receive something in return
65. Mr. Talheim studied the Asian volunteers growing wheat in order to find out _______.
A. whether growing wheat results in more sharing behavior.
B. whether growing wheat leads to more prosperous community
C. whether the local crop affects the local economy positively.
D. whether the local crop is related to local people's mental life.
66. Which of the following can serve as the best title for this passage?
A. A good beginning makes a good ending.
B. The grass is greener on the other side.
C. As you sow, so you will reap.
D. You are what you eat.


Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. She says this may be because shame still surrounds those who seek help from mental-health professionals.
B. A mental-health law, passed in 2012, advised against the previously common practice of confining people in psychiatric wards against their will.
C. Its members provide psychological support for nearly 30 people who lost loved ones to the virus.
D. She worries many people won't seek help though losing loved ones causes lasting mental pain.
E. Their efforts have enjoyed backing from the government, which has issued many instructions to guide the mental-health response to the disease.
F. These days many Chinese recognize that mental-health problems are common.
Late in January Shen Yinjing, a therapist in Shanghai, volunteered to help distressed people in the coronavirus-stricken city of Wuhan by offering counselling over the phone or by text. Before long she was running an online support group for people being treated in one of Wuhan's makeshift hospitals tor covid-19 patients. Now Ms. Shen wonders how she should assist those losing their beloved ones because of the disease. (67)______________ .
Ms Shen is among a small army of mental-health professionals who have provided support during the coronavirus outbreak. Hundreds of universities and charities have set up “psychological hotlines” for people suffering from depression. (68)______________ .
Such attention reflects a profound change in official and public attitudes. In recent years, the government has begun to stress the importance of mental health in the country's long-term development goals. (69)______________ . The government's “Healthy China 2030” plan， issued in 2016, called for a stronger ^mental-health service system”
(70)______________ . Zhiying Ma of the University of Chicago says that young Chinese, in particular, have grown comfortable using terms such as depression and anxiety when talking about their difficulties. A Chinese government-funded survey published in 2019 found that such disorders were becoming more common in China. The study's authors suggested that “rapid social change” was intensifying "psychological pressure and stress".
At the same time, mental-health counseling has become more widely available, particularly for those willing to pay for private treatment.

71.IV. Summary Writing
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.
Solving the Problem of E-Waste
One of the problems damaging our planet is the number of things we throw away. A more recent addition to the list of things we chuck away is e-waste - electronic items that are broken and not recycled.
Tonnes of televisions, phones, and other electronic equipment are discarded chiefly because we lack the skills to repair them. Fortunately, now solutions are being found to give e-waste a new life.
There's a growing trend for repair events and clubs which could be part of a solution to the growing amount of electrical and electronic junk. A Restart Project in London, is one that many found around the world. One of its volunteers, Francesco Calo, said that "this project allows you to reduce waste, extend the life of objects, and it helps people who cannot afford to get rid of items that have developed a fault.
As many electrical items contain valuable metals, another idea is e-waste mining. An experiment at the University of New South Wales involves extracting these materials from electronic appliances. It's thought that doing this could be more profitable than traditional mining.
These projects make total sense --- collections of e-waste for recycling are depressing or even decreasing" according to Ruediger Kuehr, of the United Nations University. And in countries where there is no laws, much of it just gets dumped. However, the European Union, for example, is trying to tackle the problem by insisting manufacturers have to make appliances longer-lasting and will have to supply spare parts for machines for up to 10 years.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Normally people stop to smell roses in gardens, but they can now take that sweet smell home with them thanks to a new device that records and makes different smells in the world.
The new device, developed by scientists in Japan, analyzes smells through its 15 sensors, records smells digitally and then reproduces them by mixing 96 chemicals and changing them into vapour.
Scientists say that the technology will have applications in food industries where companies want to make smells.
But it could also be helpful to the digital world. allowing smells to be recorded in one place--by sensors in a mobile phone, for instance--and transferred to noses halfway around the world. It could also aid online shoppers by letting people check out perfumes or flowers before they buy.
The device is the most advanced of its kind in the world. So far the device is far too big to be portable.
The breakthrough follows a Japanese smell-o-vision project that creates smells to movie scenes. That smell project gives off smells under seats to accompany parts of a movie. The smell recorder has successfully recreated a range of fruit smells. including oranges, apples, bananas and lemons. but can be reprogrammed to produce almost any smell-from fish to gasoline The sensitivity of the human nose is very good."said one scientist."But to some extent we can produce the performance.
Questions:
