(A)
I was dirty, smelly, hungry and smewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end f an Inter-Rail (欧洲旅游火车通票) hliday. My bdy culdn’t take any mre punishment. My mind culdn’t deal with any mre freign timetables, currencies r languages.
“Never again,” I said, as I stepped nt hme grund. I said exactly the same thing the fllwing year. And the next. All I had t d was buy ne train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years ld, I culd spend a whle mnth ging anywhere I wanted in Eurpe. Ordinary beds are never the same nce yu’ve learnt t sleep in the passage f a train, the rhythm rcking yu int a deep sleep.
Carrying all yur pssessins n yur back in a rucksack (背包) makes yu have a very basic apprach t travel, and encurages incredible wastefulness that can lead t burning scks that have becme t anti-scial, and getting rid f bks when finished. On the ther hand, this way f lking at life is entirely in the spirit f Inter-Rail, fr cmmn sense and reasning can be thrwn ut f the windw alng with the paperback bk and the scks. All it takes t achieve this carefree attitude is ne f thse tickets in yur hand.
Any system that enables yung peple t travel thrugh cuntries at a rate f mre than ne a day must be pretty scial. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware f the pssibilities f this type f train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way f getting t and frm ur chsen camp-site in suthern France. But the idea f nn-stp travel prved t attractive, fr there was always just ne mre cuntry ver the brder, always that little bit further t g. And what did the extra miles cst us? Nthing.
We were nt cmpletely uninterested in culture. But this was a first hliday withut parents, as it was fr mst ther Inter-Railers, and in rganizing ur wn timetable we left ut everything except the mst available sights. This was the chance t escape the guided tur, an pprtunity t d smething different. I tk great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I culd be bthered t see was the view frm the statin. We were just there t get by, and t have gd time ding s. In this we were n different frm mst f the ther Inter-Railers with whm we shared passage flrs, fd and water, mney and music.
The excitement f travel cmes frm the sudden reality f smewhere that was previusly just a name. It is as if the city in which yu arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the statin and yu are able t see it with yur wn tired eyes fr the first time.
51.What des the writer mean by “this way f lking at life” in Paragraph 3?
A. Wrrying abut yur clthes.B. Thrwing unwanted things away.
C. Behaving in an anti-scial way.D. Lking after yur pssessins.
52.Why did the writer riginally buy an Inter-Rail ticket?
A. T get t ne place cheaply.B. T meet ther yung peple.
C. T see a lt f famus places.D. T g n a tur f Eurpe.
53.What the writer liked abut traveling withut his parents was that_____.
A. he culd see mre interesting placesB. he culd spend mre time sightseeing
C. he culd stay away frm hme lngerD. he culd make his wn decisins
54.What des “it” in the last sentence f Paragraph 6 refer t?
A. A name.B. The city.C. The train.D. The statin.
(B)

57.What is this passage mainly abut?
A. Magazine recmmendatins.B. Submissin guidelines.
C. Publishedstries. D.Subscriptin infrmatin.
(C)
The number f devices yu can talk t is multiplying—first it was yur phne, then yur car, and nw yu can bss arund yur appliances. Children are likely t grw up thinking everything is sentient, r at least interactive: One app develper tld The Washingtn Pst that after interacting with Amazn’s Alexa, his kid started talking t casters. But even withut chatty gadgets, research suggests that under certain circumstances, peple anthrpmrphize everyday prducts.
We persnify things because we’re lnely. In ne experiment, peple wh reprted feeling islated were mre likely than thers t give free will and cnsciusness t varius devices. In turn, feeling attached t bjects can reduce lneliness. When cllege students were reminded f a time they’d been excluded scially, they made up by lying abut their number f friends n scial netwrks—unless they were first given tasks that caused them t interact with their phne as if it had human qualities. The phne apparently std in fr real friends.
When we persnify prducts, they becme harder t cast ff. After being asked t evaluate their car's persnality, peple were less likely t say they intended t replace it sn. And anthrpmrphizing bjects is assciated with a tendency t accumulate.
S hw d peple assign characteristics t an bject? In part, we rely n lks. On humans, wide faces are assciated with dminance. Similarly, peple rated cars, clcks, and watches with wide faces as mre dminant-lking than narrw-faced nes, and preferred them—especially in cmpetitive situatins. An analysis f car sales in Germany fund that cars with grilles (格栅) that were upturned like smiles and headlights that were slanted (倾斜) like narrwed eyes sld best. The purchasers saw these features as increasing a car’s friendliness and aggressiveness, respectively. It’s little wnder s many cmpanies use mascts (吉祥物) t bring brands t life. An analysis f 1,151 brand characters fund symbls that were human r humanlike t be cmmn.
Persnifying prducts and brands can backfire, hwever. When a cffee maker was anthrpmrphized in an ad (“I am Arma” versus just “Arma”)，cnsumers felt betrayed by increases in its price. Nw that speech-enabled cffee makers are n the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back int cnsumers, hearts.
58.The wrd “anthrpmrphize”（in paragraph 1) mst prbably means_________.
A. think highly f smethingB. find a better way t rate smething
C. see smething as humansD. use smething as ften as pssible
59.Fr the cllege students, the interactin with the phne served as a reminder that_________ .
A. they were nt lnelyB. the phne had human qualities
C. they needed real friendsD. the phne was nt always necessary
60.The writer mentins an analysis f car sales in Germany in rder t_________.
A. shw that friendliness is better received than aggressiveness
B. highlight that a symbl lking like a smile appeals mre t peple
C. explain why s many cmpanies use mascts t prmte their brands
D. illustrate that peple will judge smething accrding t its appearance
61.What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Cnsumers shuld knw mre abut a prduct befre it is n the market.
B. Prducts with a masct are mre likely t win cnsumers' hearts.
C. Increases in a prduces price may be accepted with a gd ad.
D. The persnificatin f a prduct may nt always wrk.

The wrst time t lk fr a jb is when yu feel desperate and must have a new ne immediately. 62 If yu are nt in need f an immediate career change, here are ways yu can imprve yur lng-ter career prspects tday:

Mary Rss was brn n August 9, 1908, in the state f Oklahma. Her wrk is cnsidered critical t the early stages f the age f space travel.
Rss shwed special abilities in math and science frm an early age. As a student, she develped an interest in aviatin, the practice f flying aircraft. She went n t earn a master's degree in mathematics frm Clrad State Teachers Cllege -- nw called the University f Nrthern Clrad.
During Wrld War II, Rss began wrking fr the Lckheed Aircraft Crpratin as a mathematician. There, she was urged t cmplete wrk in aircraft engineering. She earned a special certificatin in the field frm the University f Califrnia - Ls Angeles in 1949.
Rss was later chsen t jin Lckheed's tp-secret Skunk Wrks team that wrked n aircraft designs. The name refers t a grup that is permitted t wrk independently n advanced prjects. She was the nly female engineer amng the team's 40 members.
Early n, she researched defense systems. By the late 1950s, her wrk centered n satellites and a series f space rckets called Agenda. The rckets were extremely imprtant in the 1960s during the Apll mn prgram.
Rss retired frm Lckheed in 1973. But she cntinued t give talks at high schls and clleges t encurage mre wmen and Native Americans t study engineering.
Mary Rss died in 2008, a few mnths befre her 100th birthday.
Questins:
In what majr did Rss get her master’s degree?
Hw many female clleagues did Rss have when wrking in a Lckheed's tp-secret team?
What did Rss g n t d after her retirement?
Questins 14 thrugh 16 are based n the fllwing passage.
Millins f years ag, many large, strange-lking sea creatures lived in what is nw the Suth Atlantic Ocean. Scientists say the cntinents f Suth America and Africa separated millins f years ag. As this happened, they say, many kinds f dangerus animals and ther life frms settled in the newly frmed bdy f water ff the cast f Angla.
Tday, scientists are studying ancient animal remains discvered n the Anglan cast. They knew there wuld be remains in the area, but "didn't knw hw gd they wuld be."
Jacbs and a team f scientists and students helped prepare the remains t be shwn at the Natinal Museum f Natural Histry in Washingtn, D.C. He said visitrs t the museum can see the similarity between the ancient and mdern cean envirnment and animals.
Michael Plcyn, anther researcher, says ne ancient fish-eating animal had a lng nse and teeth similar t that f a dlphin. He ntes that visitrs can see the remains f large, fierce animals, as well as gentler creatures like an ancient giant sea turtle.
"We have a clear picture f this mment in time 72 millin years ag that has preserved all f these animals that were living tgether in ne place."
Scientists say a large rck frm space hit the earth millins f years ag and killed mst f the animals.

(A)
I was dirty, smelly, hungry and smewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end f an Inter-Rail (欧洲旅游火车通票) hliday. My bdy culdn’t take any mre punishment. My mind culdn’t deal with any mre freign timetables, currencies r languages.
“Never again,” I said, as I stepped nt hme grund. I said exactly the same thing the fllwing year. And the next. All I had t d was buy ne train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years ld, I culd spend a whle mnth ging anywhere I wanted in Eurpe. Ordinary beds are never the same nce yu’ve learnt t sleep in the passage f a train, the rhythm rcking yu int a deep sleep.
Carrying all yur pssessins n yur back in a rucksack (背包) makes yu have a very basic apprach t travel, and encurages incredible wastefulness that can lead t burning scks that have becme t anti-scial, and getting rid f bks when finished. On the ther hand, this way f lking at life is entirely in the spirit f Inter-Rail, fr cmmn sense and reasning can be thrwn ut f the windw alng with the paperback bk and the scks. All it takes t achieve this carefree attitude is ne f thse tickets in yur hand.
Any system that enables yung peple t travel thrugh cuntries at a rate f mre than ne a day must be pretty scial. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware f the pssibilities f this type f train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way f getting t and frm ur chsen camp-site in suthern France. But the idea f nn-stp travel prved t attractive, fr there was always just ne mre cuntry ver the brder, always that little bit further t g. And what did the extra miles cst us? Nthing.
We were nt cmpletely uninterested in culture. But this was a first hliday withut parents, as it was fr mst ther Inter-Railers, and in rganizing ur wn timetable we left ut everything except the mst available sights. This was the chance t escape the guided tur, an pprtunity t d smething different. I tk great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I culd be bthered t see was the view frm the statin. We were just there t get by, and t have gd time ding s. In this we were n different frm mst f the ther Inter-Railers with whm we shared passage flrs, fd and water, mney and music.
The excitement f travel cmes frm the sudden reality f smewhere that was previusly just a name. It is as if the city in which yu arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the statin and yu are able t see it with yur wn tired eyes fr the first time.
51.What des the writer mean by “this way f lking at life” in Paragraph 3?
A. Wrrying abut yur clthes.B. Thrwing unwanted things away.
C. Behaving in an anti-scial way.D. Lking after yur pssessins.
52.Why did the writer riginally buy an Inter-Rail ticket?
A. T get t ne place cheaply.B. T meet ther yung peple.
C. T see a lt f famus places.D. T g n a tur f Eurpe.

(C)
The number f devices yu can talk t is multiplying—first it was yur phne, then yur car, and nw yu can bss arund yur appliances. Children are likely t grw up thinking everything is sentient, r at least interactive: One app develper tld The Washingtn Pst that after interacting with Amazn’s Alexa, his kid started talking t casters. But even withut chatty gadgets, research suggests that under certain circumstances, peple anthrpmrphize everyday prducts.
We persnify things because we’re lnely. In ne experiment, peple wh reprted feeling islated were mre likely than thers t give free will and cnsciusness t varius devices. In turn, feeling attached t bjects can reduce lneliness. When cllege students were reminded f a time they’d been excluded scially, they made up by lying abut their number f friends n scial netwrks—unless they were first given tasks that caused them t interact with their phne as if it had human qualities. The phne apparently std in fr real friends.
When we persnify prducts, they becme harder t cast ff. After being asked t evaluate their car's persnality, peple were less likely t say they intended t replace it sn. And anthrpmrphizing bjects is assciated with a tendency t accumulate.
S hw d peple assign characteristics t an bject? In part, we rely n lks. On humans, wide faces are assciated with dminance. Similarly, peple rated cars, clcks, and watches with wide faces as mre dminant-lking than narrw-faced nes, and preferred them—especially in cmpetitive situatins. An analysis f car sales in Germany fund that cars with grilles (格栅) that were upturned like smiles and headlights that were slanted (倾斜) like narrwed eyes sld best. The purchasers saw these features as increasing a car’s friendliness and aggressiveness, respectively. It’s little wnder s many cmpanies use mascts (吉祥物) t bring brands t life. An analysis f 1,151 brand characters fund symbls that were human r humanlike t be cmmn.
Persnifying prducts and brands can backfire, hwever. When a cffee maker was anthrpmrphized in an ad (“I am Arma” versus just “Arma”)，cnsumers felt betrayed by increases in its price. Nw that speech-enabled cffee makers are n the market, maybe the machines can sweet-talk their way back int cnsumers, hearts.
58.The wrd “anthrpmrphize”（in paragraph 1) mst prbably means_________.
A. think highly f smethingB. find a better way t rate smething
C. see smething as humansD. use smething as ften as pssible
59.Fr the cllege students, the interactin with the phne served as a reminder that_________ .
A. they were nt lnelyB. the phne had human qualities
C. they needed real friendsD. the phne was nt always necessary
60.The writer mentins an analysis f car sales in Germany in rder t_________.
A. shw that friendliness is better received than aggressiveness
B. highlight that a symbl lking like a smile appeals mre t peple
C. explain why s many cmpanies use mascts t prmte their brands
D. illustrate that peple will judge smething accrding t its appearance
61.What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Cnsumers shuld knw mre abut a prduct befre it is n the market.
B. Prducts with a masct are mre likely t win cnsumers' hearts.
C. Increases in a prduces price may be accepted with a gd ad.
D. The persnificatin f a prduct may nt always wrk.
