完形填空 If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists.1, you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people's seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals. In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 2 to people's lives. The 3 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies 4as love stories in popular culture. Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 5. They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think 6is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 7attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone. First Impression To help determine the 8 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other's individuality. Then students were asked to 9 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened. As it turned out, their 10 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 11at an early stage who would best fit into their lives. The 12 Knows Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones ? natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can 13 that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 14to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 15 as other animals at 16 such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people. Face Value Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 17. The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 18 attractiveness seem to be somewhat 19. When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 20 words faster after viewing an attractive face.

阅读理解 In a historic moment on June 26, the US Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage is a legal right across all 50 states. The Supreme Court justices ruled states cannot deny gay men and women the same marriage rights. The decision means the 13 states with bans on same-sex marriage are no longer able to enforce them. Same-sex couples “ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law”. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion: “The Constitution grants them that right.” The decision came after decades of litigation（诉讼） and activism. It set off celebrations across the US. In affected states including Georgia, Michigan, Ohio and Texas, same-sex couples rushed to wed, while officials in Mississippi and Louisiana said marriages had to wait until procedural issues were addressed, reported the BBC. According to “The New York Times”, the ruling came against the backdrop of fast-moving changes in public opinion in the US, with polls indicating that most Americans now approve of same-sex marriage. US President Barack Obama welcomed the ruling, saying it “affirms what millions of Americans already believe in their hearts.” “Today,” he said in a press release, “we can say, in no uncertain terms, that we have made our union a little more perfect.” Another win. This was the second time the Supreme Court took up same-sex marriage, according to an article in “Business Insider”. The first time, in June 2013, the court made a decision that allowed the US federal government to recognize same-sex marriages in states where they were already legal. But at that time, the Supreme Court declined to rule on the broader question about gay marriage: Is there a constitutional（宪法的） right to same-sex marriage? The June 26 ruling gave a positive answer to that question. Justice Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion that the Constitution should evolve with societal changes. “The nature of injustice is that we may not always see it in our own times,” he wrote. “The generations that wrote and ratified the “Bill of Rights” and the “Fourteenth Amendment（修正案）” did not exactly know the extent of freedom in all of its dimensions, and so they hoped the future generations can protect the right of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning.” The Fourteenth Amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the law. In the June 26 ruling, the Supreme Court declared that the equal protection clause of the amendment requires marriage rights be extended to same-sex couples, too. （1）According to the passage, which of the following is true? A.The majority of Americans now object to same-sex marriage. B.Gay men and women did not care about the ruling. C.All the US states did not ban same-sex marriage before the ruling. D.The US president believes the country will be less perfect after the ruling. （2）It can be inferred that ________. A.before June 26, most Americans have doubt about same-sex marriage. B.this is the first time the Americans have got the same-sex marriage right. C.thanks to the amendment, all the Same-sex couples can get married immediately. D.Americans struggled for decades to win the same-sex right. （3）Why does the author refer to Justice Kennedy's “ the nature of injustice is that we may not always see it in our own times” ? A.The author thinks that it is unfair for same-sex marriage not to have the marriage right. B.The author wants to show that it is difficult for same-sex marriage couple to get the right. C.The author thinks that in our own times we can not see the justice. D.The author shows his dissatisfaction with the delayed approval of the legal same-sex marriage. |

阅读理解 If you could change your child's DNA in the future to protect them against diseases, would you? It could be possible because of technology known as CRISPR-Cas, or just CRISPR. CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designed to work on one part of DNA; it also uses an enzyme (酶) that can take unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to The Economist. There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly. The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimer's to cancer to HIV. By allowing doctors to put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patient's immune system, the technology could help greatly. In April scientists in China said they had tried using CRISPR to edit the genomes (基因组) of human embryos. Though the embryos would never turn into humans, this was the first time anyone had ever tried to edit DNA from human beings. With this in mind, the US' National Academy of Sciences plans to discuss questions about CRISPR's ethics (伦理问题). For example, CRISPR doesn't work properly yet. As well as cutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too. In addition, we currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities. There are also moral questions around “playing God”. Of course, medicine already stops natural things from happening for example, it saves people from infections. The opportunities to treat diseases make it hard to say we shouldn't keep going. A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit human germ-line (种系) cells and make changes that are passed on to children. This is banned in 40 countries and restricted in many others. However, CRISPR means that if genes can be edited out, they can also be edited back in. It may be up to us as a society to decide when and where editing the genome is wrong. Also, according to The Economist, gene editing may mean that parents make choices that are not obviously in the best interests of their children: “Deaf parents may prefer their children to be deaf too; parents might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs.” In the end, more research is still needed to see what we can and can't do with CRISPR. “It's still a huge mystery how we work,” Craig Mello, a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe. “We're just trying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life.” （1）What is the article mainly about? A.How CRISPR was developed by scientists. B.What we can and can't do with CRISPR. C.Chinese scientists' experiment of using CRISPR to edit human embryos. D.The advantages of CRISPR and arguments about its ethics. （2）According to the article, the technology of CRISPR ________. A.is very safe because it only cuts the DNA it is looking for B.is banned in 42 countries and restricted in many others C.could cause parents to make unwise choices for their children D.could help us discover the link between DNA and the qualities it gives people （3）It can be concluded from the article that CRISPR ________. A.could be helpful in the treatment of cancer and HIV B.allows scientists to edit genomes for the first time C.is a technology that uses an enzyme to work on RNA and DNA D.has proven to be the most effective way to protect children against diseases （4）What is the author's attitude toward CRISPR? A.Supportive. B.Worried. C.Negative. D.Objective. |

阅读理解 My mother believed you could be anything you wanted to be in America. America was where all my mother's hopes lay. She had come here in 1949 after losing everything in China. But she never looked back with regret. There were so many ways for things to get better. “Of course you can be a prodigy, too,” my mother told me when I was nine. “You can be best at anything.” We didn't immediately pick the right kind of prodigy. At first my mother thought I could be a Chinese Shirley Temple. We'd watch Shirley's old movies on TV as though they were training films. My mother would poke my arm and say, “Ni kan” ? You watch. And I would see Shirley tapping her feet, or singing a sailor song, or pursing her lips into a very round O while saying, “Oh my goodness.” Soon after my mother got this idea about Shirley Temple, she took me to a beauty training school and put me in the hands of a student who could barely hold the scissors without shaking. Instead of getting big fat curls, I emerged with an uneven mass of crinkly black fuzz. My mother dragged me off to the bathroom and tried to wet down my hair. “You look like Negro Chinese,” she lamented, as if I had done this on purpose.In fact, in the beginning, I was just as excited as my mother, maybe even more so. I pictured this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size. I was a dainty ballerina girl standing by the curtains, waiting to hear the right music that would send me floating on my tiptoes. I was Cinderella stepping from her pumpkin carriage with sparkly cartoon music filling the air. In all of my imaginings, I was filled with a sense that I would soon become perfect. My mother and father would adore me. I would be beyond reproach. I would never feel the need to sulk for anything. But sometimes the prodigy in me became impatient. “If you don't hurry up and get me out of here, I'm disappearing for good,” it warned. “And then you'll always be nothing.” Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the Formica kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children she had read and a dozen other magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom. My mother got these magazines from people whose houses she cleaned. She would look through them all, searching for stories about remarkable children. The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of the European countries. A teacher was quoted as saying the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly. “What's the capital of Finland?” my mother asked me, looking at the magazine story. All I knew was the capital of California, because Sacramento was the name of the street we lived on in Chinatown. “Nairobi!” I guessed, saying the most foreign word I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to pronounce “Helsinki” before showing me the answer. The tests got harder?multiplying numbers in my head, finding the queen of hearts in a deck of cards, trying to stand on my head without using my hands, predicting the daily temperatures in Los Angeles, New York, and London. And after seeing my mother's disappointed face once again, something inside of me began to die. I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night, I looked in the mirror and when I saw only my face staring back?and that it would always be this ordinary face?I began to cry. Such a sad, ugly girl! I made high pitched noises like a crazed animal, trying to scratch out the face in the mirror. And then I saw what seemed to be the prodigy side of me?because I had never seen that face before. I looked at my reflection, blinking so I could see more clearly. The girl staring back at me was angry, powerful. This girl and I were the same. I had new thoughts, willful thoughts, or rather thoughts filled with lots of won'ts. I won't let her change me, I promised myself. I won't be what I'm not. （1）The underlined word “prodigy” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A.talent B.professor C.leader D.superstar （2）Why did the mother and the girl watch Shirley's old movies on TV? A.Because the mother was a fan of Shirley Temple. B.Because Shirley Temple's hairstyle was very popular among children. C.Because the girl resembled Shirley Temple in appearance. D.Because the mother wanted her daughter to be a Chinese Shirley Temple. （3）How did the girl feel about the tests she did every night? A.She felt confident and finished it smoothly. B.She got through the tests painfully. C.She failed the tests and began to lose confidence. D.She eventually sadly found herself ordinary and ugly. （4）What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean? A.The mother was not sure about the answer and wanted to confirm it. B.The mother expected her daughter to know the right answer. C.The answers were more than one and the mother checked them. D.The mother was disappointed and gave up her daughter. （5）What might happen after the last paragraph? A.The girl might try her best to become famous and successful. B.The girl might do what she really likes. C.The girl might do whatever her mother asks and becomes a different image. D.The mother might change her attitude and listen to her daughter's words. （6）Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A.Being Myself or Not B.Educational Failure C.Difficult American Childhood D.Mother's Experience |

任务型阅读 The benefits of being an independent business are truly great. Beyond the rewarding nature of owning something truly unique, small businesses have the edge over their big business counterparts in many areas. Consider the importance of being independent and how that independence can help drive your business. To some, having fewer customers simply means less cash flow; however, having a smaller base also allows you to focus more on customer satisfaction. Companies are always searching for ways to improve customer service and have more of their business. Whether through paying special attention to who comes through your door or monitoring your customers through the social network, it's less of trouble to make sure your customers' needs are being met when there's a smaller sample to deal with. In addition, it becomes much easier to create a personal connection with buyers when you have enough time and attention to show them some love. Small businesses have an inherent advantage over their big box competitors in the sense that they can offer something different. People want to see the independent businesses that offer unique products and flavor to their communities. Your business can be the difference when it comes to what customers want. Of course, big box companies will almost always beat you down when it comes to price. Consider, however, that if you can offer a truly unique product or experience, price becomes much less of an issue. People like the idea of supporting local independent businesses versus “the big guys”. So, what businesses are booming due to the rise of independence? Craft Beer(精酿啤酒) ---- The craft beer movement in the United States is supported so widely that big breweries have taken to creating their own competing “craft beer” brands in an attempt to follow the trend. While Anheuser Busch represents nearly half of America's breweries, craft beer has seen a huge jump in sales in recent years. Video Games ---- Whether through PCs, traditional consoles or mobile games, independent developers are supported by enthusiastic fans and micro-transactions in an industry that was formerly dominated by bigger developers. Musicians ---- The modern web offers immense opportunities to musicians, resulting in more economic and artistic freedom. A surprising number of mainstream artists have seen great success from their independent releases, such as Macklemore's The Heist, which has sold over one million copies in the United States alone. Some small businesses don't want to be small businesses forever. Regardless, consider what independence does for you and your company. If you offer something out of the ordinary, you can build an audience that respects your individuality and supports your cause.

写作题 During a period of global economic depression, financial disturbance and trade protectionism, a country would face a battle to solve these issues alone. There is no denying that in the current situation, competition between countries is emphasized more than cooperation in that neither country would like to lose out to the other countries. The Hangzhou G20 summit, in which heads of state and government and central bankers get together to exchange views with each other, aims to create an “open innovation” environment, which means to promote innovation not only within a single country, but by virtue of cooperation with other countries, to deal with common problems facing all of humanity. “China has already become a big player in the international arena(竞技场). However, China alone cannot wrestle with all the problems,” said Atsushi Sunami, vice president at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies. “Being the second largest economy in the world, China needs to join forces with other nations to solve these existing problems, in relation to the environment, education, energy, clean water and climate change.” 【写作内容】 1). 用约30个单词写出上文概要； 2). 用约120个单词谈谈你对合作的看法，内容包括： ⑴ 合作的重要性及理由（至少两点）； ⑵ 结合亲身经历或见闻举例说明。 【写作要求】 1). 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句； 2). 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称； 3). 不必写标题。 【评分标准】 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。 |
