I. After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and
grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper
form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
When was the last time you felt guilty for something you did? Maybe you made a mistake
1 (hurt) someone unintentionally. Or maybe you chose to do the wrong thing out of anger.
The simple words “I’m sorry” can help you and others in 2 (good) mood.
It’s not always easy to admit something you did wrong. In the short term, it can be painful.
But you can’t simply learn a lesson 3 your mistakes without admitting them. Apologising is a
critical part of personal growth.
Apologising is also of importance for relationships. 4 (refuse) to apologise can break
teams apart, end friendships and create tension within families.
But through a sincere apology the other person knows that you understand his / her feelings.
It helps to heal the hurt and relieve the pain. You may fear that apologies make you look weak.
But actually it shows that you have the courage to put others 5 yourself. In fact, after saying
sorry, you may become 6 (close) to your friend than before.
But even after you decide to apologise, you may not be sure 7 to do it. Some tips can be
followed.
*Don’t put off your apology. Say you’re sorry as soon as you realise you 8 .
*Apologise in person if possible.
*Don’t make excuses or complain that the other person is the problem. So instead of saying,
“I’m sorry you feel upset about what I 9 (say),” say, “I’m sorry for my hurtful words.”
*Manage to change your behaviour. Don’t keep doing 10 you apologised for. If you do,
the other person may doubt that you were sorry.
Harsh as an apology may be, as a contributing factor for healthy and long-lasting relationship,
it’s well worth it.
II. After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box.
Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A. overate B. precious C. rate D. researchers E. impression F. previous
G. presented H. interpret I. goers J. revealed K. consumer
People Think Meals Taste Better If They Are ExpensiveIt is said that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but even if you manage to bag a bargain
meal, it will not taste as good as a more expensive meal, according to scientists.
A new study has found that restaurant 11 who pay more for their meals think the food
is tastier than if it is offered for a smaller price. The experts think that people tend to associate cost
with quality and this changes their 12 of how food tastes.
Scientists at Cornell University in New York studied the eating habits of 139 people enjoying
an Italian buffet (自助餐) in a restaurant. The price of the food was set by the 13 at either $4
or $8 for the all-you-can-eat meal. Customers were asked to 14 how good the food tasted,
the quality of the restaurant and to leave their names.
The experiment 15 that the people who paid $8 for the food enjoyed their meal 11
percent more than those who ate the “cheaper” buffet. Interestingly those that paid for the $4
buffet said they felt guiltier about loading up their plates and felt that they 16 . However, the
scientists said that both groups ate around the same quantity of food in total, according to the
study 17 at the Experimental Biology meeting this week.
Brian Wansink, a professor of 18 behaviour at the university, said: “We were
fascinated to find that pricing has little impact on how much one eats, but a huge impact on how
you 19 the experience.” He thinks that people enjoyed their food more as they associated
cost with quality and that small changes to a restaurant can change how tasty people find their
meals.
In a(n) 20 study, scientists from the university showed that people who eat in
dim lighting consume 175 less calories (卡路里) than people who eat in brightly lit areas.
III. For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
How Climate Change Affects Airline Flights
Hot weather has forced dozens of commercial flights to be canceled at airports in the
Southwest this summer. This flight-disturbing 21 is a warning sign. Climate change is
projected to have far-reaching 22 —including sea level rise flooding cities and shifting
weather patterns causing long-term declines in agricultural production. And there is evidence that
it is beginning to affect the takeoff performance of commercial aircraft, with potential effects on
airline 23 .
National and global transportation systems and the economic activity they support have
been designed for the climate in which it all developed. In the aviation ( 航空) industry, airports
and aircraft are designed for the weather conditions experienced 24 . Because the climate is
changing, even fundamental elements like airports and key economic parts like air transportation
may need to be 25 .
As scientists focused on the impacts of climate change and extreme weather on human
society and natural ecosystems around the world, our research has quantified how extreme heat
associated with our warming climate may affect 26 around the world. We’ve found that
major airports from New York to Dubai to Bangkok will see more frequent takeoff weight 27
in the coming decades due to increasingly common hot temperatures, which can help reduce the
aircraft’s weight so as to lower its required takeoff speed.There is obvious evidence that extreme events such as heat waves and coastal flooding are
happening with greater frequency and intensity than just a few decades ago. And if we 28 to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly in the next few decades, the frequency and intensity
of these extremes is projected to increase dramatically.
The 29 on aviation may be widespread. Many airports are built near sea level, putting
them at risk of more frequent 30 as oceans rise. The frequency and intensity of violent air
movement may increase in some regions due to strengthening high-altitude ( 高海 拔的) winds.
Stronger winds would force airlines and pilots to change flight lengths and routings, potentially
increasing fuel 31 .
Many departments of the economy, including the aviation industry, have yet to seriously
32 the effects of climate change. The sooner, the better: Both airport construction and aircraft
design take decades, and have 33 effects. Today’s newest planes may well be flying in 40 or
50 years, and their 34 are being designed now. The earlier climate impacts are understood
and appreciated, the more effective and less costly adaptations can be. Those adaptations may
even include innovative ways to dramatically reduce climate-altering emissions across the aviation
industry, which would help reduce the problem while also 35 it.
21. A. scheme B. heat C. shift D. mess
22. A. contributions B. confusions C. feedbacks D. consequences
23. A. pilots B. reservations C. costs D. accidents

IV. Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just
read.
(A)
Despite the fact that it has never been seen, almost everyone is familiar with the legendary
unicorn (独角兽). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great
philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn—the so-called Indian Ass and
the Oryx, a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town councilor university as their special sign. Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn.
According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious
as it has a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers, in order
to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front
of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could
then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree.
When hollowed out and used as a drinking-cup, the unicorn’s horn was said to have the
power to offer protection against person. It was believed that nobody could be harmed-by drinking
the contents of a unicorn’s horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court
was said to have used cups made of “unicorn” horn in order to protect the king. In addition, the
horn was said to have medicinal value, so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the
price of the same weight of gold. What, then, was “unicorn” horn? We know at times the rhino
(犀牛) was confused with this legendary creature. A drinking-cup supposedly made of “unicorn”
horn was discovered to be made of the horn of a rhino.
36. Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn?
A. It was not historically recorded.
B. Its horn was first used in France.

38. The last paragraph is mainly about the .
A. properties of the unicorn horn
B. users of the unicorn horn
C. price of the unicorn horn

A portrait created by artificial intelligence, or AI, made a historic appearance on the auction
( 拍 卖 ) block at Christie’s in New York City this week. It is the first artwork created by an
algorithm (算法) to be offered for auction in the world of fine art.
The odd-looking painting of a fictitious man in a dark coat
left the auction block at Christie’s for $432,500 on Oct. 25 in
New York City.
The portrait—designed in the “Old Master” style of
European fine artists from centuries ago—appears to represent a
man with a vague face, dressed in clothing similar to that worn
by people painted by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn in the
17th century.
Of course, a computer didn’t automatically pick up a brush and become an artist. The AI that
created the image had human programmers—a Parisian art collective called Obvious, Christie’s
reported. Their cooperation, titled “Portrait of Edmond De Belamy,” is part of a series of paintings
of the fictional Belamy family and was expected to fetch $7,000 to $10,000, according to
Christie’s.
To create the portrait, the Obvious team first fed the network a diet of 15,000 images painted
between the 14th and 20th centuries, to train it to recognize visual elements in fine art, Obvious
artist Hugo Caselles-Dupré told Christie’s. The algorithm that eventually created an original
image had two parts that worked against each other, called the Generator (that makes the art) and a
Discriminator (that tries to spot the difference between human-created and AI-created images),
they called this AI “generative adversarial network” (GAN), Caselles-Dupré explained.
GAN’s final image was then printed and framed, according to Obvious. At the bottom of the
portrait is a mathematical formula ( 公式) representing the algorithm that created it, a nod to the
relationship between the Generator and the Discriminator, Obvious artists wrote on the
collective’s website.
The goal of the painting and of Obvious, also co-founded by Hugo Caselles-Dupré and
Gauthier Vernier, was to prove “artificial intelligence can do more than operate driverless cars or
transform manufacturing—it can be creative,” Consumer News and Business Channel reported.
Portraiture is a tough task for AI to take on, according to Christie’s, “since humans are highly
accustomed to the curves and complexities of a face in a way that a machine cannot be.” This
difficulty was part of Obvious’ thinking when they created the portrait.
“Edmond de Belamy” is one of eleven AI paintings made by Obvious.43. It can be learned from the passage that the portrait “Edmond de Belamy” .
A. was sold at an unexpectedly high price B. was the first artwork sold at an auction
C. is a painting created by means of brush D. is a man who once appeared at the auction
44. To create a portrait, AI needs to .
A. learn from plenty of images B. use an algorithm with many parts
C. work against human painters D. recognize its human programmers
45. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. The mathematical formula at the bottom of the portrait is meaningless.
B. The portrait was made to prove algorithms are able to imitate creativity.
C. It is more difficult for AI to operate driverless cars than to paint a portrait.
D. AI is better at painting the curves and complexities of a face than a human.
46. The passage mainly tells us that .
A. AI will soon replace man in some fields
B. an AI-created portrait sells high at an auction
C. a proper algorithm is the key for AI to create art
D. AI-created paintings are better received at auctions
V. Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.
Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Travel the World by Bike
Rachel Hugens met her husband, Patrick, while bicycle touring. The Hugenses, who live in
Boise, when not on their bikes, recently went on their latest round-the-world adventure. They
visited 36 countries on a tour, touching Europe, Africa, Asia and South America.
“Traveling by bike is the ultimate freedom,” Rachel said via email. “On a bike, you become
part of the scenery. The landscape is not framed by a window. 47 ”

Adventure Cycling Association.
B. Slowly, you can see snapshots of people’s daily lives and interact with them.
C. Travelling alters your attitude towards the whole world.
D. What’s good for the heart is good for the brain, so riding and staying fit is sort of a priority in

E. Traveling changes your view of money and what it can do for you.
F. Every time you make a roadside stop, you have the opportunity to meet people or see
something new.U.S last year–from Seattle to Salem, Massachusetts. Six people started the tour and three finished,
riding 52 out of 56 days. They averaged about 60 miles per riding day.
“We took quite a few pictures; we didn’t keep our head down the whole way,” Swift said.
“We got to meet different people. It’s the people that are probably most important.” Swift also
rode through the Basque Country with a group of Boise cyclists last year. He’s planning to
participate in a Virginia bike tour this year.
“When you get older, your health is the number one priority.” he said, “ 48 ”
Seeing the places in between
“Traveling by bicycle forces you to visit the places in between that many backpackers
traveling by bus would pass by,” Patrick said. “ 49 ” The challenges, beyond the obvious
mental and physical energy required, include navigating visa requirements, food choices, language
barriers, poor riding surfaces and boxing bikes for air travel, Rachel said.
Financial flexibility to travel
This is the third time that the couple has quit their jobs to tour. Rachel is a registered nurse;
Patrick is an architect. Both regained their former jobs when they returned home in 2000 and 2007.
They’re uncertain what will happen this time.
They’ve given themselves financial flexibility by paying off their home, commuting to work
by bike and avoiding some of the bills that are important parts for most (cell phones, cable TV).
They travel with a $50 daily budget.
“ 50 ” Rachel said. “We’ve met some cyclists traveling long term on a $10 daily
budget. They can travel as long as their money lasts, so they’re motivated to spend wisely.”
