Emtinal Debt
Many peple tday live under the weight f debt frm lans r credit cards. As harmful as financial debt is, there is 21 that is even mre damaging—emtinal debt.
Dr. James Richards states that emtinal debt ccurs when we experience emtinal pain 22 remains unreslved. If the pain is nt dealt with, it will affect ur entire lives. Thrughut the years, we have chances fr happiness, lve and success. But unreslved pain can emerge and cause us t respnd in ways that aren’t reasnable, 23 (result) in destryed relatinships and lst pprtunities.
When we have a tendency 24 (respnd) inapprpriately, we ften hurt thse arund us. Unfrtunately, ur unsettled prblems smetimes becme t much fr them t handle and cause them t abandn the relatinship.
Peple with destructive patterns 25 check their lives fr signs f unreslved pain, fr yur emtinal debt can cme frm varius frms f past unfair, cruel r vilent treatment r neglect. The fact is 26 yu are prbably hlding nt painful memries f cntrlling parents r very demanding teachers. Any negative emtin that yu have cntrlled ver the year can cme back t cause harm 27 yu least expect it.
Recgnize yur feelings, but dn’t fcus n them all the time, because acknwledging and challenging yur pain is difficult, but recgnizing it is the first step 28 dealing with it. Admit yu are angry abut the past, and discuss it with smene yu trust, r write it dwn because this will ease sme f the danger and hatred yu 29 (keep) bttled up fr years. Refuse t be a victim and accept respnsibility fr dealing with yur painful past because this puts yu in charge and limits the pwer yur emtins have ver yu.

Zheng Secures Histric Tennis Gld fr China
China’s wmen’s ace Zheng Qinwen has carved her name in tennis histry after winning the cuntry’s first singles Olympic gld medal in Paris n Saturday, 31 her meteric career rise with anther majr acclade(荣誉).
China’s wrld N. 7 Zheng was the sixth 32 in the 64-draw Olympic turnament. She lived up t her favrite status in the final against Dnna Vekic f Cratia at the Rland Garrs Stadium, beating her 21st-ranked 33 fur times while cnceding nly ne f her service games t prevail 6-2,6-3 at the icnic site f the red clay Grand Slam t win the gld medal.
It was nly China’s secnd Olympic gld medal in tennis, fllwing a wmen’s dubles title wn by Li Ting and Sun Tiantian at Athens 2004, and the first in singles.
After 34 the win with a frehand winner dwn the line, Zheng lay dwn n her back t rusing cheers acrss the Curt Philippe-Chatrier, saking up the 35 mment fr her wn career and fr the sprt’s prfile in China.
It was the secnd Olympic tennis medal wn by the Chinese delegatin in Paris, after mixed dubles pair Zhang Zhizhen and Wang Xinyu 36 a silver medal in Friday’s final, which was wn by Czech team Katerina Siniakva and Tmas Machac at the same 37 .
“Nthing can describe my feeling right nw, it’s unreal. I’ve always been hping t get a medal fr China. Finally I 38 it.” an emtinal Zheng said during the n-curt interview.
“I did everything I culd. I think my cuntry will be prud f me, I feel prud f myself. The success is fr all my team members, my families and whever supprted me, nt just fr me.
I just fught every single match. There were tw matches that I almst lst n my way t the final, especially 0-4 dwn in the secnd set against Iga (Swiatek) in the semis. I feel the energy f all the supprt, knwing that I play fr my cuntry. I just never gave up and tried t find every single slutin,” Zheng said f her 39 path t success.
And fr the celebratin? The 21-year-ld native f Hubei prvince just wants t jin her family and enjy sme hme. 40
“I haven’t thught abut it yet. Fr sure t eat sme Chinese fd, after having eaten chicken and rice every day here, nthing much f flavr,” she said with a grin.
III. Reading Cmprehensin (45%)
Sectin A 15%
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
As newbrns, we enter the wrld by inhaling. In leaving, we exhale. (In fact, in many languages the wrd “exhale” is synnymus with “ 41 .”) Breathing is s central t life that it is n wnder humankind lng ag nted its value nt nly t survival but t the 42 f the bdy and mind and began cntrlling it t imprve well-being.
As early as the first millennium B.C., bth the Ta religin f China and Hinduism placed imprtance n a “vital principle” that flws thrugh the bdy, a kind f energy r internal breath. The Chinese call this energy qi, and Hindus call it prana (ne f the key cncepts f yga). A little later, in the West, the Greek term pheuma and the Hebrew term ruah bth 43 the breath and the divine presence.
44 fr hw t mdulate(调节) breathing and influence health and mind appeared centuries ag as well. Pranayama(“breath retentin”) yga was the first t build a thery arund respiratry(呼吸的) cntrl, hlding that 45 breathing was a way t increase lngevity.
In mre mdern times, German psychiatrist Jhannes Heinrich Schultz develped “autgenic training” in the 1920s as a methd f 46 . The apprach is partly 47 slw and deep breathing and is prbably still the best-knwn breathing technique fr relaxatin in the West tday.
Yga and meditatin have inspired many f the breathing exercises used tday. The 48 f cntrlled respiratin were first theretically suggested centuries ag by the practitiners f pranayama yga.
What is the best time t 49 slw-breathing techniques? One is during ccasinal episdes f 50 —fr example, befre taking an exam, cmpeting in a sprting event r even attending a rutine meeting at wrk. These exercises may als help when insmnia strikes. In 2012 Suzanne M. Bertisch f Harvard Medical Schl and her clleagues reprted, based n survey data, that mre than 20 percent f American insmniacs d these breathing exercises t have a 51 sleep.
But respiratry techniques d nt wrk nly fr acute stresses r sleep prblems; they can als relieve chrnic anxiety. They are particularly 52 in peple with psychiatric disrders such as phbias(恐惧症), depressin and pst-traumatic stress disrder(创伤后压力). In 2015 Stefania Dria and her clleagues at Fatebenefratellie Oftalmic Hspital in Milan, Italy, ffered 10 training sessins t 69 patients with anxiety r depressive disrders. The rescarchers bserved a significant 53 in symptms at the end f the sessins.
But why cnfine breathing techniques t 54 emtins? It is als wrth applying them during pleasurable mments, t take the time t appreciate and remember them. In shrt, ne can pause and breathe fr 55 as well as t calm dwn.

Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
It’s nrmal fr yung children t cheat when they’re playing bard games. As they grw lder, they realize that the fun is actually in taking part in the game, nt necessarily in winning it. By the time they reach their teens, they have usually learned nt t cheat. Sadly, this was nt the case fr a player in a natinal bard game champinship held annually in the US. The player wanted t win s much that he turned t cheating.
The bard game was Scrabble. In the game, players have t make wrds frm individual letters n small squares called “tiles,” and then put the wrds n a bard. Tw f the mst useful tiles in the game are the blanks, which are tiles withut any letters n them. A blank isn’t wrth any pints, but a player can use it t replace any letter f the alphabet.
The cheater in this particular cmpetitin was a 15-year-ld by frm Orland, Flrida. He had surprised rganizers in the early stages f the cmpetitin by beating sme f the best players, despite the fact that he had never played in cmpetitins befre. This made sme f the ther players suspicius, including the man wh caught him, 43-year-ld Arthur Mre. Mre had already played the by the day befre, and Mre had wn the game, althugh the by had had bth f the blank tiles. In Scrabble, befre a new game starts, the players put the tiles frm the previus game back int a small bag. This time, Mre had a gd lk at the tiles n the table befre he and his ppnent put them in the bag t start the game. He was nt surprised t see that the tw blanks were tgether n the table in frnt f the by. As the tw players were putting the tiles int the bag. Mre watched the by’s left hand. He saw the by pick up the tw blanks, and put his hand under the table. This was the signal fr Mre t call ne f the rganizers and accuse the by f cheating.
When the by was taken away fr questining, he admitted t taking the tw blanks during the game and hiding them under the table. As a result f his cheating, the cmpetitin directr disqualified him and banned him frm playing in the cmpetitin again.
56. Accrding t the passage, why d yung children cheat in bard games?
A. They are eager t win.B. They dislike the games.
C. They dn’t knw what cheating is.D. They dn’t want t take part in the games.
57. Why are the tw blank tiles mst useful in Scrabble?
A. They are the mst bvius tiles in the game.
B. Players can decide hw many pints they are wrth.
C. Players earn mre pints if they leave the tiles unused.
D. They can be used when players dn’t have the right letter.
58. The wrd “suspicius” (in paragraph 3) mst prbably means “ ”.
A. supprtiveB. disappinted C. mistrustful D. hnured
59. Hw did the by cheat?
A. By putting the tiles int his wn bag.B. By hiding the blank tiles fr future use.
C. By cperating with his ppnent secretly.D. By lying that he had never played the game.

Essential ils can have a majr impact n yur md and health. “When yu apply an il t yur skin, it affects yur physical state. When yu inhale them, it affects yur mental state,” says the “grande dame” f armatherapy Jeanne Rse, authr f The Armatherapy Bk: Applicatins and Inhalatins.
A few drps f eucalyptus n yur skin will help heal a burn and smelling a pine tree might make yu think f childhd Christmases. Yu can put a few drps n a tissue, r add sme t water t spritz arund the rm r use in a diffuser (喷雾器) r vaprizer.
Be very careful, hwever, when applying ils t the skin. Always dilute them in anther il, like palm ccnut r live t prevent burns r allergic reactins.
“A rule f thumb is 15 drps per ne unce f cream, il r ltin,” says Sylla Sheppard-Hanger, the funder and directr f Atlantic institute f Armatherapy in Tampa, Flrida.

Many early appraches t language technlgy—and particularly translatin—gt stuck in a cnceptual dead end: the rules-based apprach. In translatin, this meant trying t write rules t analyse the text f a sentence in the language f rigin, breaking it dwn int a srt f abstract “interlanguage” and rebuilding it accrding t the rules f the target language. These appraches shwed early prmise. But language is full f ambiguities and exceptins, s such systems were hugely cmplicated and easily brke dwn when tested n sentences beynd the simple set they had been designed fr.
Nearly all language technlgies began t get a lt better with the applicatin f statistical methds, ften called a “brute frce” apprach. This relies n sftware scanning vast amunts f data, lking fr patterns and learning frm precedent. Fr example, in parsing language (breaking it dwn int its grammatical cmpnents), the sftware learns frm large bdies f text that have already been parsed by humans. It uses what it has learned t make its best guess abut a previusly unseen text. In machine translatin, the sftware scans millins f wrds already translated by humans, again lking fr patterns. In speech recgnitin, the sftware learns frm a bdy f recrdings and the transcriptins made by humans.
Thanks t the grwing pwer f prcessrs, falling prices fr data strage and, mst crucially, the explsin in available data, this apprach eventually bre fruit. Mathematical techniques that had been knwn fr decades came int their wn, and big cmpanies with access t enrmus amunts f data were ready t benefit.
The final advance, which began nly abut five years ag, came with the arrival f deep learning thrugh digital neural netwrks (DNNs). These are ften claimed t have qualities similar t thse f the human brain: “neurns” are cnnected in sftware, and cnnectins can becme strnger r weaker in the prcess f learning. But Nils Lenke, head f research fr a language technlgy cmpany, explains matter-f-factly that “DNNs are just anther kind f mathematical mdel,” the basis f which had been well understd fr decades. What changed was the hardware being used.
Almst by chance, DNN researchers discvered that the graphical prcessing units (GPUs) used t prduce graphics in applicatins like vide games were als brilliant at handling neural netwrks. The technique has already prduced big leaps in quality fr all kinds f deep learning, including decding handwriting, recgnising faces and classifying images. Nw they are helping t imprve all manner f language technlgies, ften bringing enhancements f up t 30%. That has shifted language technlgy frm usable at a pinch t really rather gd. But s far n ne has quite wrked ut what will mve it n frm merely gd t reliably great.
63. Accrding t the passage, which f the fllwing is a prblem f the rules-based apprach?
A. Rules are difficult t identify in sme languages.
B. It is impssible t find all the rules in a language.
C. The rules are ften misinterpreted by researchers.
D. There are always rules t abstract t understand
64. has a part t play in enabling the “brute frce” apprach t gradually bear fruit.
A. The increasing amunt f data
B. The falling prices f scanning sftware
C. The availability f recrdings and transcripts
D. The wider knwledge peple have f language
65. Which f the fllwing is Nils Lenke mst likely t agree with abut DNNs?
A. They are a big breakthrugh.B. They depend mre n hardware.
C. They are nt innvative by nature.D. They haven’t been scientifically prved.
66. What des the writer imply abut GPUs?
A. They are inferir t DNNs in their quality f deep learning.
B. They have made language technlgy reliably greater than ever.
C. They have achieved limited success regarding language technlgy.
D. They help enhance language technlgies by means f image classificatin.

The Wrld Needs Zs
Zs play an imprtant rle in the wrld fr cnservatin and educatin. They are particularly imprtant fr endangered species. Many animals are critically endangered and may g extinct in the wild, but in zs, they are ging strng. 67 Even thse critical f zs ften recgnize that it is better t have species preserved smewhere than lse them altgether. In fact, species that are cmmn can als cme under serius threat befre peple realize it.
Take the ring-tailed lemur f Madagascar fr example. These lemurs are almst cmmn in zs as they breed well in captivity and the public are fnd f them. 68 A recent survey suggests that up t 95 percent f the wild ppulatins have been lst since 2000. This means that the remaining individuals are at serius risk. One bad year r a new disease culd wipe ut thse which still remain in the wild.
Such trends are nt islated. The giraffe is anther very cmmn species in zs. Unlike the lemurs, giraffes are widespread in the cuntries acrss much f sub-Saharan Africa. Yet giraffe ppulatins have gne dwn by a third in the last thirty years. While less dramatic than the drp in lemur numbers, this is bviusly a majr lss and again, whle ppulatins (which sme scientists think are f unique subspecies) are n the verge f extinctin.
69 Onging and future issues frm climate change can have unexpected effects n wildlife. It will becme mre difficult fr cnservatinists t predict which species might be at risk. As it is, experts are struggling t cntinue mnitring the species that are already knwn t be vulnerable, s it is easy t see why cmmn species might be verlked. Peple might nt take the great lss f lcal species seriusly n the assumptin that these animals are heavily ppulated elsewhere, but unfrtunately that is nt always the case.
There will, I suspect, always be resistance t the argument fr keeping animals in captivity and I will nt defend the zs that are badly managed and in desperate need f imprvement r clsure. 70 If even cmmn species can lse their ppulatin in nly several years, it may be t late t save them in the wild.

71. Are we greening ur cities, r just greenwashing them?
Architecture and urban design is chasing a green fever dream. Everywhere yu lk, there are plans fr “sustainable” buildings, futuristic ec-cities and aquapnic (复合养殖)farms n the rf, each prmising t add a green tuch t the mdern city.
All f these are surely gd ideas at sme level. They are trying t repair sme f the damage ur lifestyle has dne t the planet. But, despite the rhetric f reuniting the city with nature, tday’s green urban dream is t ften abut bringing a technlgically cntrlled versin f nature int the city and declaring the prblem slved, rather than lking at the deeper causes f ur envirnmental and urban prblems.
One f the mst striking examples is Apple’s “spaceship” campus nw under cnstructin in Silicn Valley. Thugh it seems t be sustainable and energy efficient—80 percent f its 175-acre site is preserved fr landscaping, it is by any measure a huge, expensive and massively resurce-intensive prject. As a suburban white-cllar wrkplace, it must include vast garages fr 13,000 Apple emplyees. Thus, it will leave n smaller envirnmental ftprint than a traditinal ffice park.
Designing a perfect green building r ec-city isn’t enugh t save the wrld. Althugh ur buildings, like ur cars, have been inefficient envirnmentally, architecture isn’t directly respnsible fr humanity’s disastrus envirnmental impacts. An ecnmic system based n the destructin f nature is the real prblem. N green building can help us repair the eclgical damage we have caused, nr can any number f aquapnic farms bring us back t the real nature.
Instead f adding “nature” t the urban lifestyle, architects may wrk t design better relatinships between ur cities and nature and t prmte just relatinships between the peple in them.
