A trip to Medan State University.BI’ve been teaching college for many years, long enough to note the steady relaxation of attention in matters of student dress. I’ve long been used to the torn jeans, shorts in the dead of the Maine winter, and ball caps worn backward. Still, I took note recently when one of my students showed up in sleep bottoms. I’m familiar with the school of thought that says how students dress doesn’t matter, so long as they’re learning. But I also wonder about the wisdom of blurring (模糊) the line between bed and desk.I smile when I think back on the occasions that my parents associated us with needing to look tidy and neat. Once, when I was 14 and my brother 12, my father announced that he was taking us into Manhattan (just a subway ride away) to see the film “2001: A Space Odyssey”. My brother and I were excited by the proposal, but were momentarily upset when my father directed us to put on our best clothes, including jackets and ties. “But why?” I begged, not wanting to change out of my comfortable jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers.“Because,” he said, “we’re going to New York.”I can still see the stars in his eyes as he said these words.So yes, I’m all for freedom of choice in matters of dress, and yes, I do want my students to be comfortable. But I also want to pay my respects to those students who believe that appearance counts.I think of the woman—a somewhat older student—I had in class a few years ago. She was someone to whom science did not come easily: she worked hard for respectable grades on every assignment. But I was struck by how tastefully she dressed, day after day. When the course ended, I took a moment to mention this to her. “You always looked so nice,” I remarked, “as if you were ready to take on the world.”She answered, as if it were obvious, “I’ve waited 12 years to return to school, and I dress up to remind myself to be serious about it.”And, I might add, she seemed perfectly comfortable to me.24. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?A. Excitement. B. Curiosity. C. Sympathy. D. Discontent.25. What do we know about the author’s father?A. He valued a sense of ceremony in life. B. He liked wearing comfortable clothes.C. He always thought highly of himself. D. He was a regular movie-goer.26. Why did the woman earn the author’s respect?A. She achieved high grades easily. B. She showed great talent for science.C. She pursued knowledge at an old age. D. She attached great importance to her dress.27. What message does the author want to convey in the text?A. You are what you wear. B. Never judge a man by his appearance.C. You are never too old to learn. D. Treat each day like a special day.CResearchers in the field often use camera traps to remotely photograph the lives of animals. These stationary cameras have a sensor that is triggered (启动) by heat or movement, letting researchers monitor animals without disturbing them.The traps can be used for months at a time, sometimes catching hundreds of thousands of images. But these images, and the valuable information they provide, typically just sit on researchers’ hard drives, unavailable to anyone else, according to Jorge Ahumada, a scientist at environmental nonprofit Conservation International. So he launched Wildlife Insights, an online platform where researchers could share their photos on the Internet. His idea is to encourage teamwork between biologists and wildlife conservation organizations.The site uses Artificial Intelligence designed by Google to overcome a key problem with these kinds of photos: camera traps produce a number of images to manually analyze, says Ahumada, many of which are blank images where the camera was triggered by its surroundings and not by wildlife. Manually sorting and deleting these photos is a laborious task.After someone uploads footage to the Wildlife Insights database, its AI checks if the image is taken from a camera trap and automatically removes all blank images. If there is an animal in the image, the AI will identify the species.As well as collecting and reviewing the photos, the platform will provide analyses that could reveal trends in species’ population for different projects. That information could help researchers understand whether a species is increasing its range or if its numbers are dwindling.While open access is key, the platform has taken steps to make sure this information doesn’t get into the wrong hands. “You will have to ask Wildlife Insights for permission to get the locations of the images,” says Ahumada. “We will manage this process carefully because we know that poachers (偷猎者) could use this information to find endangered species.”28. What’s the purpose of Wildlife Insights?A. To raise money for wildlife protection.B. To monitor wildlife in an undisturbed way.C. To encourage researchers to set camera traps.D. To make camera trap images available to the public.29. What key problem does the AI help to deal with?A. Sorting wildlife images quickly. B. Tracking the photographed species.C. Analyzing the origins of blank images. D. Checking the performance of camera traps.30. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Puzzling. B. Doubling. C. Dropping. D. Missing.31. Why is Wildlife Insights careful about its data?A. To protect the privacy of uploaders. B. To avoid the illegal use of them.C. To charge fees to stop poachers. D. To ensure the accuracy of them.DIf American waterways had ever been voted on the yearbook, the Buffalo River could easily have been named Ugliest. It could be hard to find hope there. It took decades for public awareness of the river to shift. But activist citizens, who cooperated with industry, government, and environment groups never gave up on their polluted river—the Buffalo River gradually went from being considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting for. And by now the cleaned-up water is one of Buffalo’s biggest attractions.By the 1960s, the river was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution pouring into the Great Lakes. The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer, and any fish caught there were not eatable.The waterway’s fate started shifting in the mid-1960s. Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish-American jeweler by day, but by evening he was the kind of guy who’d chase down dumpers (垃圾车) he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation’s “Water Conservationist of the Year” award. And before long he got a nickname: “Mr. Buffalo River.” But there was only so much he could do—the river was still declared biologically dead in 1969.Jill Spisiak Jedlicka is his great-grand niece. She picks up where he left off by directing the river’s protector organization, Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper. Professor Schneekloth and seven friends founded the organization as an all-volunteer nonprofit in 1989, after organizing the first river cleanup that year. Today the group employs 27 full-time workers and has helped oversee the Buffalo River’s $100 million restoration.So far, the Buffalo River’s water quality has restored, but it is still an ongoing issue, as sewage (污水) can overflow into the river after storms. Habitat restoration continues as well; fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it’s gone.32. What did the Buffalo River use to be?A. A waterway on the yearbook. B. A river heavily polluted.C. A great attraction of Buffalo’s. D. A place worth fighting for.33. Why was Mr. Spisiak named “Mr. Buffalo River”?A. Because his fate shifted in the 1960s.B. Because he spotted dumpers on the river.C. Because he spared no efforts to protect the river.D. Because the river was declared biologically dead.34. How long did it take for the river to restore?A. More than half a century. B. Just four decades.C. About 30 years. D. More than 100 years.35. What can be a suitable title for this text?A. The restoration of the Buffalo River B. Stanley Spisiak: The “Mr. Buffalo River”C. The future of the Buffalo River D. River protection: A long way to go第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When you think about art, you might think of it as permanent. After all, that picture you drew in kindergarten might still hang on your refrigerator years later. 36 Think about a Broadway performance. When it’s over, it’s over. Sure, it might live on in your memory or on film. But the live show was a special event. It was limited to one time and place.Can you think of other forms of art that are temporary? 37 Have you ever spent hours building a beautiful sandcastle? If you have, you probably were sad when it was time to leave the beach. You knew your work of art would be gone as soon as the tide came in. The sandy beach is a canvas (油画布) that nature erases daily.Most of the time, art made from sand can’t last long. Still, many people love using sand to create their own unique vision of beauty. 38 It is a type of live performance art. Artists who work in sand animation use sand to make a set of images that usually tell a story. They often start with a large amount of sand on a flat surface, such as a table. They then use their hands and fingers to draw in the sand. 39 However, the wide variety of beautiful and highly-detailed sand artworks might surprise you. Many of these works of art are temporary. That’s where the animation part comes in.Sand animation artists create a series of images that move to tell a story. They might also use music and special lighting to complete the effect. Sometimes they take photographs of or video their creation throughout the process. 40 A. Not all works of art are permanent, though.B. Sand animation is beautiful but lasts only at the moment.C. If you’re a fan of the beach, sandcastles might come to mind.D. One of the most attractive types of sand art is sand animation.E. Then, they turn it into a sand animation movie when it’s finished.F. It might seem like using sand would limit the art you could make.G. Building a sand castle is a family-friendly activity perfect for large groups.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）During the day, I heard something happened at the Twin Towers.

All she knew was that he was very sick and only a very costly operation could save him but they didn’t have the money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation: “Only a miracle can save him now.”Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a jelly jar from its hiding place. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it three times. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar, she slipped out of the back door and made her way to the drug store.She waited patiently for the chemist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! “And what do you want?” the chemist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago who I haven’t seen for ages.”“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother.” Tess answered. “He’s really, really sick…and I want to buy a miracle.”“I beg your pardon?” said the chemist.“His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you.” The chemist said, softening a little.“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.”The chemist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He bent down and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”“I don’t know.” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.“One dollar and eleven cents.” Tess answered barely audibly (听得见). “And it’s all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to.”注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。“Well, what a coincidence.” smiled the man.That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor specializing in neurosurgeon (神经外科). 英语答案 听力1-5 BCBCA 6-10 CBACA 11-15 ACBAC 16-20 CBBAB A这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍第九届全国征文比赛的一些稿件提交规则、奖励以及时间安排等信息。21.

On behalf of our school, I’m honoured to meet your team at the airport.Are you arriving at 5:15 pm next Monday? If so, I’ll be waiting for you at the exit of the International Arrival Hall. To make myself easily picked out, I’m going to hold a signboard with your name on it. And I’m sure you won’t miss it.Wish you a pleasant journey!

I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor specializing in neurosurgery. He took Andrew to the hospital and operated on his head himself. The operation was completed successfully and without any charge. It wasn’t long before Andrew was home again. However, Tess’s parents still couldn’t believe the luck that happened to their family. “That operation,” her mother said with tears in her eyes, “was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost.” Each time Tess heard this, she smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost: One dollar and eleven cents and plus love and persistence of a little child.听力原文（Text 1）M: I’d like to buy a copy of Professor Frank’s book on American culture.

They actually check tickets fifteen minutes earlier, and if you’re not seated when the lights go down five minutes before that, they won’t let you in.（Text 4）M: I used to hate math, but I’ve done much better since we had that new teacher.W: I don’t enjoy the classes with the new teacher. Although he’s really good at explaining, he goes too far and makes it all a bit too simple.（Text 5）M: I read in the newspaper that the novel you are reading is excellent.W: Yes. It’s really worth reading. I’ve read a lot of people saying they loved it.M: Yeah, me too, though I’ve also read some negative reviews. They say it is just like another novel—that they were no original ideas.W: Really? I didn’t know that.（Text 6）W: Our house is such a mess. I can never find anything. Have you seen my blue jacket? M: Sorry, no. Do you want to borrow my sister’s black jacket?W: It’s too heavy. It’s not very cold outside.M: Her green one might be OK. That’s not too heavy. W: Oh, yeah. Thanks.M: Wow, that looks great. Where are you going?W: I will buy Mary a dress first. Then we’ll go and see a movie together. It’s her birthday. M: That sounds like fun. Have a good time!（Text 7）M: We have a weekly schedule of evening activities, which anyone can attend if they choose. Every Sunday we show a film suitable for the whole family. Monday is dessert night. Our cook prepares a variety of desserts.W: Umm...I’d like to be there for that.M: Yes, it’s great. We get more serious towards the middle of the week, during our discussion night on Tuesday.W: Discussion night?M: Yes, we discuss different current events, you know, what’s happening that week in the news. And on Wednesday, we have lectures. We invite different experts to talk about local history on nature topics. Thursday night is totally different. That’s when we play games.W: That sounds interesting!（Text 8）M: Hi, Judy. It’s Peter Kent from ABC Company. I’d like to tell you that we have received the machine and are quite satisfied with it, but we were disappointed that there wasn’t much choice of color.W: Sorry to hear that. We will fax you the brochure this afternoon. It shows color pictures of all our models. M: Great.W: Can we expect an order from you?M: Yes, that’s why I’m calling. I want to order 500 machines. I wonder if you can make the delivery by the end of this month.W: OK. We can do that. I will work out the agreement this evening. Would you be free to come over tomorrow morning to sign it?M: I’m afraid I can’t. I’ve got a staff meeting to attend then. Shall we meet at lunchtime? W: Sure, sounds good. Bye for now.（Text 9）W: Excuse me. My name is Melanie Smith. I’m doing a questionnaire. Do you mind answering some questions about travelling?M: OK.W: Thank you. Have you travelled abroad in the last three months? M: Yes.W: How often do you normally travel abroad each year? One to three times, four to six times, seven to ten times?M: I went abroad five times so it’s four to six times.W: So can I ask you how much you take with you in different currencies?

M: More than 500 .W: When you come back from abroad, do you change the currency back into pounds? M: No, I always keep it.W: Do you use cards or cash when you travel?M: Well, I used the cash for taxis, newspapers and snacks. I used the credit cards to pay for hotels and meals.W: OK, I need to ask you for a few contact details. We don’t ask for an address, just an email and a contact telephone number.M: Mmm, I’m glad to give you my number, but I don’t want to give out my email, if you don’t mind. W: That’s fine.（Text 10）M: This year, the Summer Festival is the biggest we’ve ever seen, so there should be something for everybody. This is the third year they’ve run it and the timing is slightly different: for the last couple of years it’s been around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year they’ve put it at the end of the month.The program has theatre dance and a large number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most famous for its great street music. For today’s report though, I’m looking at some of the theatrical events that you might like to see; in particular, at this year’s theme—circuses.There are two circus performances. The first is the Circus Romano. As this is a travelling circus, it’ll be performing in a tent, usually put up in a green space. There are no animals—just very talented clowning. It’s really for adult tastes.The second is Circus Electrica at the Studio Theatre. It’s a showcase for skills in dance and music. An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young—the youngest is only fourteen. It’s a good one for the whole family.Then finally, as it’s summer, there are some performances presented outdoors, like the famous Mekong Water Activity, performing in the City Gardens this week. It’s a must-see for young children.Well, that’s all I have time for today.
