21．（6分） For as long as there have been gifts, we naturally make choices based on the recipient (接受者). But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier?
In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient’s personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.
But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals(揭示) your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.
To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind.
Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely it should be—then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient’s practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind.
Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character—and failing.
But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self-obsession” —and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves.
1、From the Mother’s Day card test, we can conclude that ________.
A．gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver
B．most people choose gifts with the recipient in mind
C．most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes
D．gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient
2、What do the underlined words “them, them” refer to in order of appearance?
A．The recipients; the givers. B．The givers; the recipients.
C．The givers; the givers. D．The recipients; the recipients.
3、What does the author think is the significance of gift giving?
A．Making the giver’s life happier.
B．Showing one’s knowledge of the recipient.
C．Establishing and strengthening social connections.
D．Meeting the recipient’s practical needs.
4、Which of the following is Human and Aknin’s advice on gift giving?
A．Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself.
B．Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts.
C．Buy something that fits the recipient’s character most.
D．Be careful not to signal your true personality.
5、Which is the best title of this passage?
A．The tradition of gift giving. B．The purpose of gift giving.

22．（8分） Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May the 14th, 1984. He is the creator of the social media site Facebook. He was a star student at school, winning prizes in astronomy, maths and physics. He was also good at Classical studies. He studied Psychology and Computer Science at Harvard University, which is where he created Facebook. His invention led to his becoming Time magazine’s Person Of The Year for 2010.
Zuckerberg excelled in everything he did in his youth. He was captain of the school fencing team, spoke many languages and was a highly skilled computer programmer. While other kids played computer games, he designed them. He created his first network while in high school to connect all of the computers - in his father’s dental surgery. He also built a media player which attracted the interest of Microsoft and AOL.
Zuckerberg started at Harvard in September 2002. In his first year, he created Facemash, a Facebook predecessor (前身), which let students select the college’s best looking people from a selection of photos.
He launched Facebook from his Harvard room in February 2004. It was the start of a rollercoaster ride that would connect half a billion people worldwide and make him the world’s youngest billionaire.
Mark Zuckerberg is now one of the most influential people on the planet. He has dined with the president of the USA and regularly attends global economic summits and technology conferences. He stated: “The thing I really care about is the mission, making the world open.” In 2010, Zuckerberg signed a promise, in which he promised to donate at least half of his life wealth to charity.
1、The underlined word “excelled in” can be replaced by ________.
A．was addicted to B．did well in
C．was absorbed in D．looked forward to
2、The 2nd paragraph is mainly about young Zuckerberg's ________.
A．advantages in sports B．computer programming ability
C．brilliant performance in many fields D．great attraction to Microsoft and AOL.
3、When did Zuckerberg invent Facebook?
A．In 1984 B．In 2010
C．In 2002 D．In 2004
4、What can we infer from the text?

B．Zuckerberg’s Facebook predecessor helped him become world famous.
C．Zuckerberg’s donation made him Time magazine's Person Of The Year for 2010.
D．Zuckerberg is not only an intelligent computer giant but also a kind billionaire.
23．（8分） I.M. Pei, the Chinese-American, who was regarded as one of the last great modernist architects, has died at the age of 102.
Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: His redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s. He gave us the glass and metal pyramid in the main courtyard, along with three smaller pyramids and a vast subterranean (地下的) addition to the museum entrance.
Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French — and everyone else — were won over. Winning the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1983, he was thought as giving the 20th century “some of its most beautiful inside spaces and outside forms … His talent and skill in the use of materials approach the level of poetry.”
After studying architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, Pei set up his own architectural practice in New York in 1955.
Designing the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in 1964 established him as a name. His East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington in 1978 changed people’s ideas of a museum. The site was an odd trapezoid (梯形) shape. Pei’s solution was to cut it in two. The resulting building was dramatic, light and elegant — one of the first crowd-pleasing cathedrals of modern art.
Though known as a modernist, and notable for his forms based on arrangements of simple geometric ( 几何的) shapes, he once urged Chinese architects to look more to their architectural tradition rather than designing in a western style.
In person, I.M. Pei was good-humored, charming and unusually modest. His working process was evolutionary, but innovation (创新) was never an intended goal.
“Stylistic originality is not my purpose,” he said. “I want to find the originality in the time, the place and the problem.”
1、What can we learn about the result of redevelopment of the Louvre Museum?
A．It was criticized by the French.
B．It was a success.
C．It made the Louvre Museum looks strange.
D．It changed the function of the Louvre Museum.
2、What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A．He is a master in applying materials.
B．He is skilled in writing poems.
C．He often combines poetry and construction.
D．He gets inspiration from poetry in designing.
3、What’s the correct order of the following events?
a. Design the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum.
b. Study architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard.
c. Design the National Gallery of Art.
d. Win the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize.
A．abcd B．bacd C．bcad D．dacd
4、What can we learn about I.M. Pei?
A．Innovation was his first goal in design.
B．He was talented and serious.
C．He preferred western style to the east.
D．He liked simple geometric shapes.
24．（8分） Professional athletes pay a high price for their pursuit of excellence and glory. Training to the limit tears muscles and wears out joints. Gymnasts often need hip replacements when barely into middle age. Few footballers make it to the end of their careers with their knees intact.
But many also run a darker risk: doping — the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, in South Korea, starts this week in its shadow. Years after whistle-blowers first revealed wholesale (大规模的) doping in Russia, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at last decided to bar it from taking part. But it has allowed many Russians to compete as individuals. And on the eve of the competition the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said that 28 others should receive a more tolerant penalty from the IOC, further muffling the anti-doping message.
Russia’s doping is unusual only in its scale and institutional nature. No country or sport is immune. Studies, and an anonymous survey at the World Athletics Championships in 2011, suggest that a third of athletes preparing for big international competitions take banned substances. Yet just 1-2% fail a test each year. Lance Armstrong, a cyclist who won the Tour de France seven times and later admitted to doping all the while, was tested on 250 occasions. The few times he failed, he avoided punishments by claiming he had taken anti-inflammatories (消炎药) for saddle-sores (骑行引起的肌肉酸痛).
Doping is more sophisticated than when some states used steroids (类固醇) to bulk up athletes. New drugs are designed to be undetectable in a blood or urine sample. Many athletes “blood dope,” receiving transfusions or taking a drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells to improve their physical strength. Soviet athletes who were fed steroids suffered a host of serious problems in later life. They were more likely to commit suicide, or to miscarry (流产) or have a disabled child. No one knows what risks those taking new “designer” versions are running. Blood-doping can cause heart attacks; more than a dozen cyclists’ deaths have already been linked to it.
The agencies that set out to stop doping are hugely outclassed. As the argument over punishments on Russia illustrate, they are divided and weak. Most testing is done by national bodies, which may not try very hard to find evidence that would get their own stars banned. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees them, is packed with officials from national sports federations and the IOC．Their interests are likewise conflicted. Its budget is tiny. The system seems to be designed to look tough but punish only the occasional scapegoat (替罪羊). Honest athletes deserve better.
1、The word “muffling” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ .”
A．deafening B．conveying C．spreading D．weakening
2、Why did the author cite an instance of Lance Armstrong?
A．To illustrate he is a model of Russian athlete.
B．To show cycling is very popular in France.
C．To indicate doping exists everywhere.
D．To suggest doping is an exception for American athletes.
3、Which of the following is NOT a side-effect of steroids?
A．Giving birth to an unhealthy child.
B．Suicidal tendencies.
C．Stimulates the production of red blood cells.
D．Unintentionally having a pregnancy end early.
4、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The CAS should put more severe penalties on Russian athletes.
B．The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang have not been successful due to doping scandals.
C．Doping is quite common among athletes in France and Russia.
D．WADA does a good job monitoring doping in the Olympics.
25．（10分）As the world’s population grows, farmers will need to produce more and more food. And large farms are increasingly using precision farming to increase yields (产量), reduce waste, and reduce the economic and security risks that inevitably accompany agricultural uncertainty.
Traditional farming relies on managing entire fields—making decisions related to planting, harvesting, irrigating, and applying pesticides and fertilizer (农药和化肥)—based on regional conditions and historical data. Precision farming, by contrast, combines sensors, robots, GPS, mapping tools and data-analytics software to customize（量身定制）the care that plants receive without increasing labor. Robot-mounted sensors and camera-equipped drones (无人机) wirelessly send images and data on individual plants to a computer, which looks for signs of health and stress. Farmers receive the feedback in real time and then deliver water, pesticide or fertilizer in adjusted doses（剂量）to only the areas that need it. The technology can also help farmers decide when to plant and harvest crops.
As a result, precision farming can improve time management, reduce water and chemical use, and produce healthier crops and higher yields—all of which benefit farmers’ bottom lines and conserve resources while reducing chemical runoff.
Many small businesses are developing new software, sensors, and other tools for precision farming, as are large companies such as Monsanto, John Deere, Bayer, Dow and DuPont. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all support precision farming, and many colleges now offer course work on the topic.
In a related development, seed producers are applying technology to improve plant characteristics. By following individual plants over time and analyzing which ones flourish in different conditions, companies can relate the plants’ response to their environments with their genomics (基因组学). That information, in turn, allows the companies to produce seed varieties that will grow well in specific soil and weather conditions. This advanced technology may also help to improve crop nutrition.
Farmers do not universally welcome precision agriculture for various reasons, such as high equipment costs and lack of access to the Internet. The technology may bring great challenges to experienced farmers who are not good at computers. And large systems will also be beyond the reach of many small farming operations in developing nations. But less expensive, simpler systems could potentially be applied. For others, though, cost savings in the long run may reduce the financial concerns. And however reticent some farmers may be to adopt new technology, the next generation of farmers are likely to warm to the approach.
1、Precision farming differs from traditional farming partly because it ________.
A．guarantees high yields with more labor
B．relies on regional conditions and historical data
C．offers plenty of water, pesticides and fertilizer
D．provides real time information about target crops
2、About precision farming, we can learn that________.
A．the government holds a cautious attitude
B．it draws positive responses from businesses
C．seed producers have already made huge profits
D．large systems will soon be built in developing nations
3、The underlined word “reticent” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A．disappointed B．confused
C．unwilling D．shocked
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．Precision Farming Increases Crop Yields
B．More Challenges Faced by Modern Farmers
C．Development of Farming Systems in the U.S.
D．Traditional Farming is Gradually Disappearing

I’m terribly sorry to tell you that I am unable to go to Yunnan with you. It is very kind of you to invite me to go traveling with you and I really look forward to going to Yunnan and enjoying the beautiful scenery there. However, much to my regret, I can’t go with you owing to the fact that an important exam is just around the corner, for which I am now really busy preparing.

Anyway, we will have many more chances to get together. Would it be convenient for you if we make it after the exam?
I’m truly sorry. I hope you will forgive me and accept my sincere apologies. I look forward to your reply.
Yours truly
