When Katherine and her daughter drove past Katherine’s beloved old home, she would say, “I’d like to have that house back.” On her 90th birthday, that wish came true.
All Katherine wanted for her 90th birthday was to 36 her childhood home. Her daughter, Emily wasn’t so 37 on the idea. And, as the old saying goes, you can 38 really go home again. However, the mom and daughter often drove from their 39 town to cruise past Katherine’s beloved old home.
One day, as Emily visited her local craft store, inspiration 40 her: Her mother could have her house back—in replica (复制品) 41 . Emily connected with Ray Meyers, a local retired dentist with a 42 for woodworking. Ray took precise measurements and 43 details with the help of the current homeowners.
The replica home and the amazing story behind it deserved a special 44 . Emily arranged a surprise party at which the replica and Katherine would be 45 . But keeping Katherine in the 46 was a painful task.

I would 49 Mother and start a conversation where I would say, ‘Oh, by the way, do you remember…’ and ask her something about the house. She would give details from her memory about the 50 and the color. She would tell me 51 what something looked like or where it was in the house.”
On the very day, Emily went to 52 Katherine to her house.“When we went inside,I was just 53 .”Katherine says. “There was a house load of people singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to me.”Emily presented Katherine with the carefully 54 replica home.
“I just couldn’t believe it,” Katherine says. “I have 55 memories of that house. I have had several family dinners where we eat around it. I now can turn on the tiny lights within it. It’s so pretty.”For Katherine, it turned out that it is possible to go home again.

A
Inspired by the USA’s recent solar eclipse (日蚀)? These equally impressive events and activities will inspire your desire for a visit.
Witness a desert superbloom
Occasionally, the normally dry Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and Chihuahuan Desert will burst into a carpet of yellow, purple, and pink flowers in spring. This is a superbloom, and it happens if there’s significant rainfall between September and November. There’s one wildflower bloom every 5.3 years on average, and a superbloom on average once every 11.2 years.
WHERE TO GO: Death Valley National Park, California, the USA
WHEN TO GO: February—March
Watch rockets launching
Every launch is very impressive and exciting because you don’t know what will happen until the last moment. You hear the fire and fury for several minutes—seeing a launch in person is a billion times better than watching on TV. The current hot ticket, though, is going to watch a SpaceX reusable rocket launch, then land back at Cape Canaveral.
WHERE TO GO: Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia or Kennedy Space Center, Florida
BEST TIME TO GO: Check www.kennedyspacecenter.com or www.nasa.gov
Enjoy a never-ending lightning storm
Think lightning never strikes twice? The odds are more generous over the mouth of the Catatumbo River at Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, which hosts lightning storms for up to 297 nights a year, thanks to its unique geographical location. “Watching the Catatumbo lightning is an experience you will get nowhere else,” says Jonas Piontek, a German photographer who has travelled there twice to capture the storms. “You are basically isolated from everyone: no network, no Internet, no real civilization around. It’s just you and nature, and one of the best shows on Earth.”
WHERE TO GO: Catatumbo Camp, Venezuela
WHEN TO GO: October—November
56. What causes a superbloom to happen in the desert?
A. Steady rainfall in a year. B. Occasional rainfall in winter.
C. Heavy rainfall in spring. D. Abnormal rainfall in autumn.
57. If you want to escape from reality, you can go to ________.
A. Mojave Desert B. Wallops Flight Facility
C. Catatumbo Camp D. Death Valley National Park
B
If every public interaction were filmed, would the world be a better place? Common sense suggests it would, and to some extent, we already live in such a world, with closed-circuit television cameras everywhere and smart phones in every pocket.
However, the routine filming of everyday life is about to go to the next level. A number of countries are rolling out body cams for police officers and other public-facing agencies such as schools. Private citizens are getting in on the act too: cyclists increasingly wear headcams as an insurance against aggressive drivers. As camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn’t hard to foresee a future where we’re all filming everything all the time, in every direction. Would that be a good thing?
The available evidence suggests that it discourages behavior such as police brutality. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to escape blame for accidents. But a world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The flood of data we pour into the hands of Google, Facebook and others has already proved a mixed blessing. Those companies would no doubt be willing to upload and store our body-cam data for free, probably with the assistance of machine learning algorithms (算法)—but at what cost to privacy and freedom of choice? Body-cam data could also create a legal mine field. Disputes over the validity and interpretation of police footage (执法镜头) have already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didn’t happen, like a tree falling in the forest. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to escape blame or incriminate others.
Of course, there’s always the argument that if you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer hadn’t been caught on film. People already inspect their social media feeds—or avoid doing anything inadequate in public—for fear of damaging their reputation. Would widespread application of body cams have a further frightening effect on our freedom? The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the natures that make us human. We are natural gossips and backbiters, and while those might not be desirable behavior, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are likely to shut up. We are nowhere near that point yet where everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy, but we should think hard about whether we really want to say lights, body cam, action.
58. What is the benefit of filming to average people?
A. Promoting the widespread use of smart phones in public.
B. Fighting crimes or bad behavior by providing solid evidence.
C. Guaranteeing cyclists and pedestrians more safety on roads.
D. Encouraging better performance of the police and teaching staff.
59. In the author’s view, the data flooding into tech giants is fairly ________.
A. comforting B. puzzling C. worrying D. satisfying
60. Certain undesirable behavior is important because it ________.
A. functions as an insurance policy B. warns us not to be caught on film
C. prevents inadequate social behavior D. motivates human daily communication
C
A so-called “smart drug” intended to improve cognitive (认知的) performance also seems to protect the brain from altitude sickness.
Ever more people are visiting high-altitude sites for work, sport, religious pilgrimages and military tasks. But even the fittest among us suffer in thin air: the lower oxygen content at altitude can lead to cognitive effects, including memory loss and attention difficulties.
There’s little you can do to prevent these symptoms other than acclimatize—but this takes time and doesn’t always work. A drug called oxiracetam might be the answer.
ShengLi Hu at the Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China, and her colleagues studied the performance of male military personnel at altitude. All lived in towns around 1800 meters above sea level. During the study, they spent eight days at this altitude and then climbed for three days to reach 4000 meters, where they stayed for up to a month.
Twenty participants took oxiracetam three times a day for the first 15 days of the study, while another 20 received no intervention. The men did tests of attention and memory at the start and end of the study and 20 days in, by which time they had been at 4000 meters for nine days.
While all the participants experienced a drop in cognitive ability at 4000 meters, those who took oxiracetam showed a much smaller decline than the control group.
Blood flow measurements indicated that at high altitude, parts of the brain’s cerebral circulatory system contracted and dilated (扩张) in a way that promoted blood flow to the brain stem. This isn’t surprising, since the brain stem plays a critical role in the maintenance of basic vital signs.
The team also found that the brain stem received blood at the expense of areas responsible for more advanced cognitive functions. But in people who took oxiracetam, more arteries dilated, so blood flow throughout the brain rose. This may be how the drug seems to lessen cognitive problems linked with low oxygen.
It isn’t yet known whether diverting blood in this way could have negative effects in the long run.
“The results are striking and imply that oxiracetam may be beneficial for helping to relieve cognitive deficits caused by altitude,” says Timothy Hales at the University of Dundee, UK.
Oxiracetam is not licensed for medical use globally, but it is known to be a mild stimulant, says Hales. “Coca leaves have been used by native Andeans for centuries to overcome altitude sickness and this is attributed to their modest cocaine content. So perhaps it is not surprising that benefit can be derived from another, though mild, stimulant.”
61. The underlined word “acclimatize” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. adapt B. interact C. exist D. object
62. What does the experiment done in China reveal?
A. The higher altitude you are at, the slower your brain will be.
B. At 4000 meters, the two subject groups show no difference.
C. Memory tests are beneficial to relieving attention difficulties.
D. “Smart drug” largely counters negative effects of altitude sickness.
63. According to the passage, the root cause of the cognitive effects lies in ________.
A. physical tiredness B. low oxygen content
C. cognitive training D. extreme high altitude
64. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Fight high anxiety B. Oxiracetam—a magic drug
C. Keep sharp at altitude D. Problems on high-altitude sites
D
If you read The fault in our stars only to find a young adult romance of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, then you definitely underestimate the power of sophisticated symbolism, emotions, and literature John Green offers. I remember someone saying “You don’t read a great book, it reads you.” The fault in our stars is one of those books. It gives you the concept of what cancers are like, of how children in particular fight them, reveals and reminds you of your first love in life, always the youngest and the most innocent. I will resist my urge to tell you the plot and spoil the whole story, but I promise you every single page here is worth a great deal of excitement, humor and a bunch of other stuff listed down here which I think are interesting.
The book gives lives to where we find deaths. The joy of living comes in when terminal cancer is nothing more than just “a side effect of dying”, when you can laugh in the misfortunes of disease and say “I’m on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend.” The fault in our stars, however, starts with Hazel’s “depression” like many of us starts a new day. Thus, Hazel’s mother wants her cancer-stricken daughter to have a life, putting her in the Support Group. Later on, Issac and Augustus give her hope and something to believe in. The friendship tied by the shared intellectual curiosityand dreams. The story is so carefully plotted that even though Hazel doesn’t go to school like other kids, her life is so in touch with ours. Everyone in a while will feel as if everything goes wrong, that it sucks at being what it’s supposed to be. Bad grades, getting dumped, or even having a terminal disease. “The pain demands to be felt.” But after all, how long should it take us to give sufferings a break is subject to be viewed personally, since it would determine whether or not we become a type of Peter Van Houten, Hazel’s favorite writer in the novel.
John Green also cares about your dreams and ambitions. As you read through chapters, especially toward the end, you will find out Hazel and Augustus have widely different ideas of what they think is a “good life.” Here I find a reflection of my soul in Augustus’s, with all his desire to leave a mark on the world. Such a guy he is seeking for glories and meanings of life, fearing most oblivion. Others may find themselves, in contrast, caring not about recognition. They are like Hazel Grace, seeing heroism as an act of noticing and loving and sharing. Both ideas are beautiful and proofed to be fearless to be together despite any mental or physical challenges lying on their way to the pursuit of happiness.
① “Apparently, the world is not a wish-granting factory.” The book embraces the restless, innocent desires of young minds. ② Would you care for a trip to Amsterdam when you’re at the 4th stage of cancer to find out what happens after the end of your favorite book? Would you dare to love the dying, to be okay to love when you’re dying, or to forgive yourself for hurting those who love you in case you die? ③ In the book, you will find John Green mentions about how “some infinities are greater than other infinities,” which means, I think, infinities can be defined, expanded and shrunk. ④ Infinities are created by taking chances, and if we fail while doing so, then the fault is simply in our stars, not ourselves.
Funny, romantic, unputdownable and profound, The fault in our stars is definitely one of the best young adult fiction books in the century. It may touch the readers in many different ways. In here some will find humor, some will find encouragement, and some will find a book as a bond for a new love story. But if you insist that you only want to read a good love story in The fault of in our stars, that’s fine too. It’s an excellent book that reminds us of those who are important.
65. The underlined part in Paragraph 1 implies ________.
A. readers’ views tend to vary on the same book
B. readers choose books based on their tastes
C. books are created to cater to different needs
D. books can refresh readers’ memories
66. According to John Green, what is the basis for the friendship between Hazel and Augustus?
A. Dreaming of the same good life.
B. Suffering from the common disease.
C. Being curious and enterprisingin life.
D. Being attracted to each other for uniqueness.
67. The author believes that he is somewhat like ________.
A. Hazel B. Issac
C. Augustus D. Peter Van Houten
68. Where does the sentence “We can all learn a lot from how Hazel and Augustus take chances
and make the best out of them.” belong?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
69. What is to blame if we fail to create infinities?
A. Our luck. B. Our desire. C. Our ability. D. Our identity.
70. Who is the book The fault in our stars mainlyintended for?
A. Patients with terminal diseases.
B. Kids wishing for a bright future.
C. Adults recalling their golden days.
D. Teenagers with some life experience.
第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。
Everything we do in life involves risk. In our professional lives, trying to avoid risk is itself a risk: work too cautiously, and we risk missing the chance to grow and shine, and our careers may suffer for it.
We cannot avoid risk yet we often avoid thinking about it. That is a shame, because if we think strategically about risk, we can use it to increase our chances of coming through difficult situations with our goalsintact. Rather than pretending risk doesn’t exist, why not learn to manage it to our own benefit?
The first step: Acknowledge the risks your projects face. Start by writing a list of the things that can go wrong. That may sound gloomy, but it’s essential. Your list need not be very thorough, and probably never can be. But try to identify common risks—like the departure of a key colleague for a new job or the failure of a new technique upon which your project depends. The types of risks you identify will depend on the specifics of your work.
Once you have a list of risks, evaluate each one on two scales:
•Likelihood. Force yourself to honestly assess how likely each risk is.
•Impact.Then think about how much damage could occur under each situation.
Now it’s time to draft a second, more-detailed list. Go back through your initial list and consider how you might make each potential negative outcome less likely to occur, and also how you might minimize the damage to your project if one does happen. In project-management term, this step is known as risk mitigation. A mitigation is anything that makes a risk less likely to spoil your overall goal.
Once you have drafted your list of mitigations, the final step is to go down that list and think about which ones are “worth it”. Look at all the information you’ve gathered about your risks and mitigations, and make a call about what it makes sense to do. You probably have more intuition in this area than you realize, because most of us instinctively do risk-mitigation calculations in the nonwork areas of our lives. For instance, every time you decide whether or not to buy a guarantee on a new electronic toy, you’re doing this calculation in your head.
You have probably been intuitively doing some sort of risk analysis in your work life, too. Moving to a more explicit analysis (but one that is more qualitative than quantitative—unless you like to play with numbers) can encourageyou to acknowledge when you’re making overly optimistic assumptions. And this gives you a better chance to make plans that will withstand the failure of at least a couple of those assumptions.
Bringing your risk analysis out from the field of intuition can also help you overcome a tendency tooverly ignore risk. It is easier to go ahead and take a big risk when you know that you have mitigations in place and a backup plan if things go wrong.
Thinking about risk can be a bit scary, but really, ignoring risk is the riskiest behavior of all.

Libraries have always been at the heart of the communities they serve. They are accessible and safe spaces, providing access to huge resources of information and knowledge. Libraries have played an important role in helping generations of immigrants, young people, job seekers and readers to learn, stay connected and get ahead in life. Offering access to books, newspapers and, later, computers, they opened up a world of knowledge and ideas for millions of people. The public library transcends national and cultural boundaries—no matter where you are in the world, they are an essential part of creating and maintaining an educated and literate population.
But today, public libraries are at a turning point. The way we access and consume information has changed dramatically in the 21st century, and this presents major challenges and opportunities for public library systems across the world.
The advent of new technologies has changed some of our reading habits. But our need for shared, community-centred spaces to find information and connect with others is unlikely to change any time soon.

There are several reasons accounting for public libraries surviving the wave of digitalization. To begin with, they are open to all, providing free access to the latest resources and technologies. What’s more, one of the drawbacks of the digital materials is that they’re not always trustworthy while public libraries can offer a large collection of reliable reference books. These practical functions aside, we still need the physical space, where we can fully concentrate on our study without easily getting distracted.
To better develop public libraries, the government should first give more financial support. Meanwhile, the facilities of the libraries are expected to be updated accordingly and the employees should be professional. Only in this way can libraries meet the needs of various age groups.

W: I do. But our commercial art department only gives associate degrees.
M: And you want a bachelor’s degree, right?
W: Right.
M: So where do you want to go?
W: I’ve been thinking about Westwater University. It has an excellent reputation. But it’s probably
very selective.
M: But you’ve got good grades in the three terms you’ve been here in the state college, haven’t
you?
W: Yeah, mostly “A”s in my subjects and a few “B”s in sciences.

for you and you’ll be set.

pass another day without a loving home.
M: Whatever. $ 18 for 24 cans of tomato juice, $ 4 for a box of chocolate cookies and $12 for a case
of soft drinks. You don’t even like that stuff!
W: Not yet. I’ve decided to change my eating habits.
M: Oh, I can’t believe what I’m hearing. Let’s see. A carton of eggs, $ 2.50 for a gallon of milk.
OK. And finally two steaks for $ 8. Now, something worth enjoying. I’ll get the grill started.
W: Oh, we...w...well. The steaks are for the dog. Hey, what are you doing? Oh, no. Why did you
throw the steaks out on the ground outside?

W: Good morning, boys and girls. In this talk I want to consider the work of Emily Morris, but before we study anything written by her it is important to know about her as a person I think. She was born in Manchester in 1854 and died in London in 1934. As for her background, it was not a particularly unusual one yet it is most important. She was the only daughter of quite rich parents. Her father was a tea merchant at a time when tea was growing in popularity, and he did well. Her mother died when she was two. Emily was the youngest child by some eight years. She had three brothers. They were all sent away to school, which was quite normal at that time of course. Emily remained at home, saw very little of them, and had a very lonely childhood in many ways. However she had a good education at home particularly from one teacher, a French woman called Sophie Durant. And with her she toured Southern Europe and often spoke of this as the most exciting time of her life. From this time came her first books, not novels, but three travel books. They were published but didn’t sell well, although they are in fact very good indeed and of course have been republished since.
