15、g 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. Tea in Britain Tea may be thought as the most typ
16、ical of English drinks, but it is actually a relative latecomer to British shores. Although the custom of drinking tea (21)_(date) back to the 3rd millennium(一千年) BC in China, the drink didnt appear in England until the mid-17th century. Curiously, it is said that it was the London coffee houses (22
17、)_ were responsible for introducing tea to England. One of the first coffee house merchants (23)_(offer) tea was Thomas Garway, who sold both liquid and dry tea to the public as early as 1657. Three years later, he issued a big brochure advertising the virtues of tea, (24)_ its positive effect on he
18、alth. Tea gained popularity quickly in the coffee houses, and this distressed the pub owners (25)_ tea cut their sales of beer. At the same time, it was also bad news for the government officials, (26)_ _ many depended on a steady stream of revenue from taxes on liquor sales. By 1750, tea (27)_(beco
19、me) the favored drink of Britains lower classes. A 1676 act taxed tea and required coffee house operators to apply for a license. The heavy taxation had the effect of creating a whole new industry - tea smuggling(走私). Even smuggled tea was expensive, however, and therefore extremely profitable, so m
20、any smugglers began to adulterate(掺假) the tea with other substances, such as willow and sloe leaves. (28)_(use) tea leaves were also redried and added to fresh leaves. Finally, 1784 William Pitt the Younger determined to take (29)_ measures that could reverse the situation. He introduced the Commuta
21、tion Act, which dropped the tax on tea from 119% to 12.5%, effectively ending smuggling. He also took many other measures, hoping that such attempts (30)_ stop adulteration. But adulteration remained a problem until the Food and Drug Act of 1875 brought in severe punishment for the practice. Section
22、 B 4 Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. modest B. creative C. confirm D. pace E. increasingly F. emerging G. scoring H. caps I. evenly J. access K. collapse Bathroom Reveals You
23、r Repayment Ability Banks and other lenders typically look at borrowers credit histories, tax forms and other financial information to determine whether they will get paid back. In China, (31) _ lenders also look at borrowers bathrooms. As the economy slows, the government wants to develop a credit
24、culture to get Chinese families spending instead of saving. While the country is getting wealthier, the financial system has not kept (32)_. Some people have had no (33) _ to credit card or mortgage, so lenders often have little reliable information about potential borrowers. To fill the gaps, one l
25、ender, China Rapid Finance, assigns its investigators to check for the number of toothbrushes or towels to determine how many people are living in a house. They look for dirty dishes in the kitchen. They take photos of a potential borrower at work to (34)_ employment status. A growing number of comp
26、anies are trying to crack the credit code in China. The Internet giants Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu are developing credit (35) _ systems based on users online transactions(交易) and search histories. The World Bank estimated that 79 percent of Chinas population above the age of 15 have bank accounts, w
27、hile only 10 percent have ever borrowed from the formal financial system. Chinas banks have a(n) (36) _consumers lending business. Contrarily, online lenders are (37)_ as the pioneers, satisfying China s rising consumer class. Alibabas financial affiliate(隶属机构), Huabei, makes small loans to online s
28、hoppers and vendors(小贩) on its e-commerce platforms. Peer-to-peer platforms have proved hugely popular in China, but the industrys reputation has been ruined by scandal, like the (38)_ of Ezubao(易租宝). After that, regulators have stepped up their supervision of online lenders, which includes setting
29、(39) _on the amounts that can be borrowed. The regulators tightening management is “something like a shepherd herding(放牧) his sheep into a(n) (40)_ narrowing pen(围栏),” said Mark Natkin, the founder and managing director at Marbridge Consulting, based in Beijing. III. Reading Comprehension Section A
30、Directions: 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. “It will be marvelous. It will be spiritual.” This is the _41_ tagline that Virgin Galactic used 5 in 2004 to attract poten
31、tial customers to its planned space tourism services. It promised that, within five years, it would take a total of over 3,000 passengers on life-changing trips in its spaceships. On July 11, 2021, after a last 90-minute delay, Virgin Galactic finally began its fulfillment of that original _42_. For
32、 four minutes, its six temporarily weightless passengers, including the firms British co-founder, Sir Richard Branson, saw the planet against the blackness of outer space. Back on the ground, Sir Richard called the experience “magical”. He may have _43_ the fact that he was able to reach space earli
33、er than Jeff Bezos, a fellow billionaire but much wealthier. On July 20, Bezos would go slightly higher, for slightly less time, in a vehicle that had been built by his own spacefaring company, Blue Origin. The two tycoons(大亨) are among a growing number of _44_ who believe that space tourisms time h
34、as come. Suborbital(亚轨道的) tourism is part of a broader space economy that has rapidly grown over the past decade _45_ technological advances. However, it is highly _46_ that this will be true. For now, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic will offer _47_ suborbital flights to paying customers. Blue Origi
35、n is focusing much more on the development of a large new rocket that will be used for the launching of satellites, on selling advanced rocket engines to other companies, and on bidding(投标) on NASA contracts such as the recently announced plan to send humans back to the moon. _48_, Bezos doesnt see
36、Blue Origin as a provider of services to adventure-seekers. Even this 4-minute suborbital travels have a(n) _49_, apparently. A major survey found that nearly two in five people with a net worth of over five million dollars would consider paying $250,000, Virgin Galactics current price, for a ticket
37、. The business could be _50_, once regular flights begin to offset(抵消) the rockets development costs. But how fast and by how much is _51_. Without tourist-friendly destinations to visit (the capacity of the International Space Station is strictly limited), orbital tourism, with its far higher ticke
38、t prices, will not be a huge earner. Another challenge - and the industrys biggest remaining uncertainty - relates to _52_. History has shown that a disaster, _53_ in the early stages of an industry, can set progress back by years. NASA _54_ its plan to send the untrained to orbit in 1986 after a sc
39、hool teacher was killed along with the rest of the crew in the Challenger tragedy. It was another 15 years before the next untrained person would _55_ the journey on a Russian craft. 41. A. modest B. demanding C. motivational D. unclear 42. A. obligation B. commitment C. requirement D. survey 43. A.
40、 felt ashamed of B. kept an eye on C. felt content with D. got upset with 44. A. optimists B. opponents C. experts D. objectors 45. A. thanks to B. but for C. apart from D. in spite of 46. A. impossible B. undoubted C. probable D. favorable 47. A. long-lasting B. inexpensive C. automatic D. brief 6
41、48. A. On the contrary B. Whats more C. In the long run D. Above all 49. A. shortcoming B. limitation C. advantage D. appeal 50. A. profitable B. uneconomic C. eco-friendly D. globalized 51. A. predictable B. essential C. irrelevant D. uncertain 52. A. development B. security C. stability D. novelty
42、 53. A. particularly B. critically C. precisely D. unforeseeably 54. A. initiated B. drafted C. modified D. suspended 55. A. brave B. abandon C. steer D. pause Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them the
43、re 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) About a quarter of the world drives on the left, and the countries that do so are mostly old British colonies like Australia, and Ireland. But Thailand, I
44、ndonesia and Japan have also developed this habit. This strange quirk(奇事) puzzles the rest of the world; however, there is a perfectly good reason. Up to the late 1700s, everybody travelled on the left side of the road because it is the sensible option for violent, feudal(封建的) societies of mostly ri
45、ght-handed people. Soldiers with their swords under their right arms naturally passed on each others right, and if you passed a stranger on the road, you walked on the left to ensure that your protective sword arm was between you and him. Revolutionary France, however, did away with this practice as
46、 part of its sweeping social rethink, and thanks to Napoleon, this change was carried out all over continental Europe. Because he was left-handed, his armies had to march on the right so he could keep his sword arm between him and any opponent. From then on, any country colonized by the French took
47、to driving on the right. After the American Revolutionary War(1775-1783), the US became independent and decided to make traffic drive on the right in order to cut all remaining links to its British colonial past. Once America became the center of the car industry, if you wanted a good reliable vehic
48、le, you bought American right-hand-drive. From then on, many countries changed out of necessity. Today, the EU would like Britain to fall into line with the rest of Europe, but this is no longer possible. It would cost billions of pounds to change everything round. The last European country to conve
49、rt to driving on the right was Sweden in 1967. This ironically caused a reduction in car accidents because everyone drove carefully while getting used to the new system. 56. Why did people travel on the left before the late 18th century? A. They were required to do so. B. They were mostly left-lande
50、d. C. It was easier to cross the street. D. They could feel safer from attacks. 7 57. What was Napoleons attitude about walking on the left? A. Support. B. Disapproval. C. Doubt. D. Indifference. 58. For Americans, driving on the right was a way to show _. A. the connection with France was broken B.
