第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Clara packed her things at the Patent Office and went to her boss. “It’s been a pleasure working with you, but I’m quitting my job.” She turned and left.
“What are you doing home so early?” asked her sister Sally.
“The Civil War is taking its toll on the Union soldiers. I need to help them.” Sally chewed her lips and looked around the room. “I’m going with you.”
The two volunteered at the Washington Hospital. After several months, Clara became unsettled. “Sally, this isn’t enough. I need to help the soldiers in the field and on the front lines. I’m leaving in the morning.”
Sally’s brows rose into her forehead. “Sally! You can’t. It’s too dangerous.” “The front line soldiers who need help are in greater danger.”
Clara got donations where she could and used her own savings to buy supplies. She traveled from battle to battle with three army wagons. She also organized men to give first aid, carry water, and prepare food for the wounded.
After many months of battlefield after battlefield, Clara told her friend Rachel. “I finally received official permission to bring supplies to battlefields. The wounded soldiers are so appreciative of all I do, they’ve named me the “Angel of the Battlefield.”
“That’s wonderful,” said Rachel. “You certainly deserve the recognition. You’re one of the bravest women I know.”
After the Civil War ended, Clara went to Europe to rest her body and mind. So many years of helping soldiers and their families had worn her down.
While visiting Switzerland, Clara learned of the International Red Cross. Its mission to help war victims around the world aroused Clara’s interest and excitement. It also sparked an idea.
When she returned home, Clara worked to establish an American Red Cross. She even met with President Hayes to discuss it. Finally, on May 21, 1881, the American Red Cross was formed. A month later, Clara was elected president of the organization.
21. Where did Clara first volunteer to help the Union soldiers? A. Switzerland. B. The Patent Office. C. The front lines. D. The Washington Hospital. 22. Which of the following words best describes Clara’s character? A. Fearless and devoted. B. Generous and energetic. C. Humorous and brave. D. Considerate and confident. 23. What is the text mainly about?
A. The suffering brought by the Civil War.
B. The development of the American Red Cross. C. Women’s contributions to the American peace.
D. A great woman who introduced Red Cross into USA.
B
Tiny as they are, bats have the ability to “see” in the dark by using a special skill called echolocation (回声定位法). They make noises and wait for sound waves, or an echo, to bounce back off objects. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly the sound waves bounce back off them. If no sound bounces back, they can then fly forward.
This special ability has been copied in the human world for a long time, such as in submarines and planes. But apart from helping vehicles “see” where they are, what if blind people could use echolocation for themselves? American Daniel Kish, who is blind, is known as “Batman”. This isn’t because he walks around in a cape (披风) and a mask, but because he has a bat-like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Kish is so skilled at echolocating that he can ride a bike and hike on his own.
Recently, a research carried out at the University of Durham in England shed some light on the power of human echolocation. Kish, as well as other volunteers, worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the echoes that they produce from clicks. The team found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes, ones far fainter than had been previously thought.
Lore Thaler, lead scientist of the group, said, “We found that in some conditions, they were really faint-about 95 percent softer than the actual clicks, but the echolocators were still able to sense this.”
Andrew Kolarik, another expert in echolocation, told BBC News that echolocation “can be very useful at providing information at face or chest height” and could help people “avoid objects like low hanging branches that might not get detected by the cane or a guide dog”.
According to BBC News, echolocation is a skill blind people can acquire and develop, just like learning a language. As Kolarik said, “Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places.”
24. What does “this special ability” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The ability to make noises in the dark. B. The ability to bounce back off objects. C. The ability to measure the distance quickly. D. The ability to use sound waves to echolocate.
25. What do we know about Daniel Kish from the text? A. He is fond of riding a bike and hiking alone.
B. He is able to hear echoes he produces from clicks. C. He is called “Batman” because he looks like a bat. D. He conducted the experiment to circulate echolocation.
26. What is Kolarik’s attitude towards the future use of echolocation in blind people? A. Ambiguous. B. Hopeful. C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful. 27. What’s the best title for the text? A. Echolocation in Human World. B. A Very Special Batman. C. Finding New Way to “See”. D. A Breakthrough in echoing.
C
On some level, offices exist to inspire in-person collaboration. But many of the basic technologies that employees now used to work together often encourage them to work virtually independent of one another.
“They wear their headphones—headphones are the new walls—to signal they are involved in high-concentration work and not available for chat,” says Stowe Boyd, a social critic whose research focuses on the future of work.
Such behavior is indicative of a wider workplace trend. As office-communication technologies have become more advanced, more and more employees are avoiding direct interaction with their co-workers. Experts say this is a shift that is likely to continue. Emerging technologies even suggests a future—perhaps decades away, but maybe sooner—in which offices are populated by employees who engage in virtually no work-focused, face-to-face contact whatsoever.
It isn’t to say co-workers won’t connect. Even as employees make the transition to “individual” work, they may begin to communicate in new ways that are as engaging as real-life interactions. Virtual reality, for example, could “hold 3-D meetings around a digital meeting table where employees are not physically in\an author who studies artificial intelligence and robots, among other things.
What’s the upside of a chat-free future, in which colleagues work together in close physical space but never need to talk person-to-person? For one, it may make work experiences more efficient by stopping gossipy distractions that can get in the way of serious affairs. It also may safeguard employees from physical disturbance, a growing workplace concern, says Jamais Cascio, an author and futurist.
But there are possible problems. Virtual environments have the potential to reduce social inhibitions (抑制), which could lead to conflicts. It’s also possible that technology will create a more impersonal atmosphere. Without the water cooler-style chat that can make work life more vibrant—research suggests informal office jokes can boost productivity—office relationships could start to resemble the interactions we have with strangers in public spaces.
Eventually, some experts believe, with technologies making their way into offices, humans may remove themselves from the workplace altogether, though not in the sense that they will be replaced by robots, as many have predicted.
28. According to Stowe Boyd, what can be widely seen in workplaces?
A. Technologies are used as a barrier against casual chat. B. Direction interactions are resisted but cannot be avoided. C. In-person collaboration is the best way to promote efficiency. D. Face-to-face contact is the guarantee of high-concentration work. 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Coworkers prefer to keep closely connected.
B. Employees engage in developing far-away relationships.
C. Technologies allow for new forms of office-communication. D. 3-D meetings have completely replaced real-life interactions. 30. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To forecast a new workplace trend caused by technologies. B. To encourage employees to make better use of technologies. C. To stress the importance of combining work and technologies. D. To introduce the effects of technologies on how employees interact.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Work smarter, not harder.” When it comes to studying, there are some very specific ways you can improve your effectiveness without adding loads of extra work.
Create a game plan. Before you begin your study session, create a game plan for exactly how you will study. Consider what you will study, how long you’ll spend on each subject and what study methods you will use. 31 Take at least 10 minutes before your study session to map out your game plan.
Outline your notes. Taking the time to boil your notes down to a standard outline can help you grasp the overall concepts you’re studying. You certainly can borrow or copy someone else’s notes, but you must work hard to put everything in your own words. 32 Many times, understanding the big picture is just as important as remembering all the individual facts. Outlining allows you to file individual facts under larger ideas.
Maintain balance. Balance can be difficult to maintain in school but it’s crucial for success. 33 Seek to carry out a balanced life. Make sure to maintain a social life and develop hobbies outside of school. Stay in touch with your family and keep them informed of your school progress. It’s certainly a challenge, but living in balance will keep you on the path to success.
34 If you want to do well in school, you simply have to do it. But there are specific ways to study better. To make the most of your limited time. 35 By following the methods above, you can raise the quality of your studying sessions without necessarily increasing the quantity. A. To keep from spinning your wheels. B. There’s no way to get around studying. C. Write out your notes by hand during class.
D. If you don’t, you’ll fail to understand the larger concept. E. This allows you to study the right materials at the right time.
F. The last thing you want to do is bury yourself in a mountain of books. G. Don’t spend all your time studying or all your time hanging with friends.
