A Reminder Bracelet (手链)
Description
The “Within Good” product line was created as a way to encourage positive thoughts and good deeds.
In one simple design concept, it is a wearable reminder to people of all backgrounds that “Within Good, There Is God”—a pure message that no matter what you are going through, you can always do good, and the spirit of love, known as God, is always within us and in the world.
Within Good is not intended to be a religious bracelet. In fact, one of the reasons why the “God” reference appears on the inside of the bracelet is because it is personal to the wearer. The company co-founders say their concept was to go back to the basics of doing good for yourself and others: “At the end of the day, God symbolizes peace, love, connectedness, purpose, and any other word that makes you feel GOOD.”
Over many months, the logo (标识) turned into a symbol represented by the double “o” in Good and interlocking with the G and D. “Within Good” is printed on the top of the bracelet and on the back is printed, “There Is God”. The rope symbolizes strength, and a strong connection between Good and God (always inside us).
Why This Is a Good Gift:
Looks Great: Casual yet classy styling, in a unisex (中性化的) design.
Gift Packaging: Each bracelet arrives inside its own little drawstring bag, ready to give away without wrapping (包装).
Discount: $29.99 $26

Born in Potsdam (in the Kingdom of Prussia) in 1821, Helmholtz was one of the 19th century’s most knowledgeable scientists, whose name turns up in the histories of multiple scientific fields and specialties. As a youngster, he had an interest in physics, but that seemed a financially unwise career choice. He went to medical school and studied physiology (生理学). instead, because he was drawn to others who promoted the point that physiology should be based on the principles of chemistry and physics, not the“vital forces” that had been popularly emphasized previously.
After earning his medical degree, Helmholtz served as an army surgeon before becoming professor of physiology at the University of K nigsberg. During that time, he composed a groundbreaking paper on the conservation of energy, which made him a good reputation (名声) in science community. His main argument is that all science can be reduced to mechanics. It is emphasized that Newtonian mechanics and Lagrangian mechanics are mathematically equivalent (相等的), so a force can be measured by the Laplace method in terms of the energy transferred by the force or the work done by the force. All of this energy is conserved. While at K nigsberg, he studied the nervous system, optics (光学) and acoustics (声学), especially with regard to the physiology of the senses. Then he moved on to the University of Bonn as professor of anatomy (解剖学) and physiology.
After some time at the University of Heidelberg, where he became interested in philosophy, in 1871 he was awarded the physics chair at the University of Berlin. At last he could focus on physics, emphasizing the importance of the principle of least action for explaining physical phenomena. He also explored the branches of Maxwell’s new theory. By this time, he was recognized as one of Germany’s premier scientists, until his death in 1894.
24. Why did Helmholtz choose to study physiology
A. He was attracted by a different viewpoint. B. He made the choice for economic difficulty.
C. He would like to make himself have more skills. D. He preferred physiology to chemistry and physics.
25. What made Helmholtz popular among scientists
A. His degree in medical science. B. His talent in chemistry and physics.
C. His achievements as an army surgeon. D. His paper on the conservation of energy.
26. What can be inferred about Helmholtz from the last paragraph
A. He proved Maxwell’s new theory. B. He was a famous philosopher.
C. He devoted his rest life to physical research. D. He was a physical professor at K nigsberg.
27. Which words can best describe Helmholtz
A. Energetic and caring. B. All-round and determined.
C. Humorous and courageous. D. Knowledgeable and brave.
C
Contrary to popular opinion, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable and well-defined process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. There is the romantic idea of the scientist who has an Eureka moment (顿悟时刻) and suddenly arrives at new insights. Another impression is that research only involves formal steps. Neither of those ideas is correct.
“Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable or imaginable,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold (展开) in an unpredictable way. Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.”
There is an intersection (交叉点) between science and art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to amplify creative freedom. Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, together with other scientists and artists, have designed a plan to learn from each other and to exchange ideas. One example is the recent and special project in which they measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular (分子) sensor was used to visualise the different forces. They revealed the results in colourful images, each representing a different force.
What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science. “It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the artistic process leading to discovery. As a scientist, you are criticised if you say that something is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science,” says Weijers.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The views on science research. B. The purpose of science research.
C. The hardship of science research. D. The attitude to science research.
29. What can we know from Weijers’s view
A. Scientists should have creative and associative thinking.
B. The artistic process is too messy to be used in research.
C. The scientific process always unfolds in an unpredictable way.
D. The research process and the artistic process are totally different.
30. What does the underlined word “amplify” mean in the third paragraph
A. Refuse. B. Detect. C. Increase. D. Imply.
31. Why does the author mention Weijers’s research on plant cells
A. To stress the importance of thinking freely. B. To display the beauty of colourful images.
C. To present the findings of his recent project. D. To show the connection between science and art.
D
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has to recall (召回) hundreds of foods every year. Like cookie snack packs with pieces of blue plastic hiding inside, dressing and sauce containing salmonella (沙门氏菌) or various jams containing with lead (铅).
It can take a few months before a recall is issued. But now researchers have come up with a method that might fast-track that process, leading to early detection and, ultimately, faster recalls. The AI system relies on the fact that people increasingly buy foods and spices (调味料) online. And people tend to write review s of products they buy online, which are like bread crumbs (面包屑) to food-safety officials sniffing (嗅) out dangerous products.
The researchers linked FDA food recalls from 2012 to 2014 to Amazon reviews of those same products. They then trained machine-learning algorithms (算法) to distinguish between reviews for recalled items and reviews for items that had not been flagged. And the trained algorithms were able to predict FDA recalls three quarters of the time. They also identified another 20,000 reviews for possibly unsafe foods, most of which had never been recalled. The results are published in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.
The World Health Organization estimates that 600 million people worldwide get sick annually from polluted food, and more than 400,000 people die from it. “So having tools that enable us to detect this a lot faster and hopefully investigate and do recalls faster will be useful not just in the U. S. but in other countries around the world as well.” Study author Elaine Nsoesie of Boston University. She did add one warning: even recalled products can still get five-star reviews. So stars alone don’t tell the whole sickening story. The proof, unfortunately, may still be in the pudding.
32. What will help FDA recall unsafe foods faster than before
A. Efforts of food-safety officials. B. Online reviews of the polluted foods.
C. Lots of online reviews of products. D. New measures of food-safety officials.
33. How does the author introduce the process of the research
A. By asking customers. B. By describing facts. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.
34. What’s Elaine’s attitude towards five-star reviews
A. Doubtful. B. Careless. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
35. Which may be the most suitable title for the text
A. FDA Detects Unsafe Foods B. AI Sniffs out Unsafe Foods
C. FDA Develops System of Judging Reviews D. AI Helps FDA Judge Reviews much better

How to Turn Your Dreams into a Reality
Do you have dreams, visions or plans about things you’d love to have or achieve Of course you do! We all do. Unfortunately, dreaming is the easy part. 36 The good news is that there are proven techniques that can get you from where you are to where you want to be. Follow this process to bring your dreams to fruition (实现):
Turn your dream into a goal.
When you have a goal, you have a true target. For a greater chance of success, your plan should have a deadline and it must be measurable. 37 Give yourself the gift of setting a deadline and things will start to happen. Make your goal as desirable as possible without being unrealistic. If you feel that your goal is unreasonable, it’s much more difficult to encourage yourself to actually pursue it.
Prioritize (优先化) your goal daily.
38 You give instructions to your brain thousands of times a day. Let your mind know that your goal is something more important than “I feel like eating a ham sandwich” or “I need to stop at the grocery store on the way home”.
39
Difficult goals can rarely be achieved alone; you’re likely to need some help and guidance. Look at the list you made and see what you already have in your life that could help you on your path.
Track your progress.
Measure your progress each day. Use old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app. 40 You can only adjust your approach if you know how you’re doing. Consider making a chart if that’s applicable to your goal.
A. Read and write your goal each day.
B. Make a list of negative associations.
C. Classify (将……分类) your available resources.
D. Tracking is critical to making continued progress.
E. Turning those dreams into a reality is the challenge.
F. It has been said that dreams are goals without a deadline.
G. So make a list of all the negative stuff that slip into your mind.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Early in my teaching career, I heard countless excuses—most of them fabricated (编造的), many of them amusing—for why students didn’t have their homework. And, yes, “the dog ate it” was one of them. As time passed and I grew less easily cheated, I grew tired of hearing “I don’t have my homework because...”
And so I quit accepting any excuse other than a verifiable (能证实的) death in the family.
When I moved to an inner-city middle school, I took my no-nonsense attitude with me. “No excuses, no extensions!” I warned my eighth graders on the first day of school. I collected homework at the beginning of each class. When a student didn’t have it, I never asked why. Instead, I sighed loudly, shook my head in dramatic dislike and—with the student looking on—recorded a zero in the grade book. I soon gained the reputation I thought I wanted.
Then, one afternoon, shortly after the dismissal bell rang, Anthony approached me. “Could I talk to you a minute ” he asked shyly, not taking his eyes off the floor. “I know you said it doesn’t matter why we don’t have our lessons done, but I don’t want you to think I’m a slacker (偷懒的人) because I come to school without mine so often.”
Anthony looked up at me for the first time, and I could see that his lower lip was quivering (颤抖的). “It’s just that... well, my dad moved out, and my mum waits tables at night, so I have to take care of my little brothers. Sometimes they cry a lot, and it makes it hard to concentrate.”
I put my hand on Anthony’s thin shoulder. “Why are you just now telling me... ” I stopped in mid-sentence. I knew why. So I changed the question. “Would it help if you stayed here in my classroom after school and worked on it before you go home ”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

48. C 考查副词。与“She began with an easy thing”中的began with形成对照的只有C项，此处强调的是一开始用扫帚，最后用真正的杠铃。
49. D 考查动词。根据空后的“and set state, national and world records”可知，Langdon赢得了20场举重比赛。
50. D 考查动词。根据空后的“Her next goal is to lift over a thousand pounds”可知，她并没有停止举重运动的迹象。

57. Luckily 考查副词。放于句首单独使用时用副词形式，且首字母大写，故填Luckily。
58. getting 考查非谓语动词。本句话中decide是谓语动词，故本空填非谓语动词形式，get和主语you之间是主谓关系，故填getting。
59. to do 考查非谓语动词。train sb. to do sth.“培训某人做某事”。
60. strength (s) 考查名词。your的后面用名词形式，strong的名词是strength“力量；优势”，同时是可数名词，故也可以填复数形式。
61. based 考查非谓语动词。be based on意为“基于……”。本句话中get是谓语动词,故本空用based作状语。句意：根据你在评估中取得的成功，你可以了解自己在什么学术领域更强大。
62. be applied 考查语态。句意：再深入一点，找出你过去的成功包括哪些性格特征和技能，以及哪些可以应用到其他领域。根据句意可知which指的是上文提到的personality traits and skills，和apply“应用”之间是被动关系，故本空填be applied。
63. on/upon 考查介词。focus on/upon“集中在……上”是固定短语，故本空填介词on/upon。

65. that 考查固定搭配。There is no doubt that意为“毫无疑问……”，故本空填that。句意:虽然在以后的阶段可能会改变你的想法，但毫无疑问，如果你在早期就做好了，生活会更容易。
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Helen,
I am awfully sorry to inform you that I can’t go out sketching with you in the national park this Saturday. As you know, my mother is in a state of poor health. Last night, she suffered a serious heart attack and was sent to hospital. My father is on business abroad and can’t make it back to Beijing for her. I have no choice but to give up our appointment to attend her.
How about going there next Saturday or Sunday How I wish you would accept my apology. I am looking forward to meeting you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
He swallowed hard and nodded. The next day, I announced to all my students that I’d be offering an after-school study hall Monday through Friday. Anthony was the first student to show up. A couple of days later, Terrell joined him. Before long, I had a room full of eighth graders who sometimes stayed until five o’clock to work on their lessons. I never asked why any of them were there, but I soon had a large collection of “I don’t have my homework because...” stories. All were very real. None were amusing.
The things I learned that year weren’t taught in the education classes I’d taken in college. I discovered that not all kids come from homes that are safe and warm and dry. Not all kids have a quiet bedroom with a desk and study light and plenty of school supplies. Some don’t have a home where a parent is even around. And some kids really do go to bed hungry. Most importantly, I learned that “I’ll listen” works a whole lot better than “No excuses!” Every student is an angel in my heart, who should be cherished.

M: I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I felt instantly at home because of the warm lighting and the friendly staff.
W: It’s been considered as the best restaurant for atmosphere. The thing that impressed me most was the price. You get what you pay for.
M: I wasn’t sure about the dishes, though. The roasted chicken wasn’t something I fancied. So I ordered the fried beef. But it was too hard and dry to cut with my fork.
W: It’s incredible. But my baked fish was delicious.
M: Then I will try to order baked fish to see its taste next time.

M: Louise, you’re studying medicine at university. Was it hard getting into your courses
W: Medicine’s a competitive area, so yes, it was hard. It’s more or less certain that everyone applying had good grades in science and did voluntary work in a hospital or clinic. My courses include training at hospitals abroad. So what made my application stand out was the fact that I’d also studied languages.
M: Now you’ve finished your first year. How did that go
W: Most things turned out as I expected. Our teachers gave us long lists of published materials on each topic. There have been a few surprises too. I didn’t expect the doctors to be so busy. They often didn’t have time to help students.
M: So, any special plans for your summer break
W: Well, I’d like to go on holiday, but I decided to look for summer work. Next term, I’m training at a hospital in Paris, so I’ll need to pay for travelling and accommodation.

Mountain Kilimanjaro, one of the nature wonders of the world, is located in Tanzania and is Africa’ shighest mountain. It is the largest free-standing mountain in the world, meaning it is not part of a mountain range. The grand snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro have long captured the world’s imagination. Thousands have travelled to Tanzania to climb the mountain, or to view its famous glacier-covered peaks. In 1889, German geographer Hans Meyer and Austrian reached the summit. Since then, the mountain has become a popular hiking spot for locals and tourists. In 1973, the mountain and its six surrounding forest roads were named national park in order to protect the mountain’s unique and wonderful environment. The park was declared a World Heritage Site by the United National Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 1987. But in the last century the snow on the mountain has been disappearing. The loss of Kilimanjaro’s glaciers is removing a source of water from the mountain’s surrounding area. In addition, it would probably decrease the amount of tourism.
