9、ips back in the day. The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland & Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White Star Line Company. The Olympic class included the Olympic, the Britannic and the Titanic. What you may not know is that the Titanic wasnt even the flagship of this class. All
10、in all, the Olympic class ships were wonders of sea engineering, but they seemed doomed (注定) to suffer disasters.The Olympic launched first in 1910, followed by the Titanic in 1911, and lastly the Britannic in 1914. The ships had nine decks, and White Star Line decided to focus on making them the mo
11、st luxurious ships on the water.Stretching 269.13 meters, the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technology, and everyone thought that they would continue to be so for quite some time. However, all suffered terrible accidents on the open seas but the Olympic was the only one to survive and ma
12、intain a successful career. The Titanic was the first to sink after famously hitting a huge iceberg in 1912. Following this disaster, the Britannic hit a naval mine in 1916 and subsequently sank as well.Each ship was coal-powered by several boilers constantly kept running by exhausted crews below de
13、ck. Most recognizable of the ship designs are the ships smoke stacks (烟囱), but the fourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no functional purpose. While two of these ships sank, they were all designed with double hulls (船体) believed to make them “unsinkable”, perhaps a mistaken i
14、dea that led to the Titanics and the Britannics miserable end.The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospital ship and troop transport in World War. Eventually, she was taken out of service in 1935, ending the era of the luxurious Olympic class ocean liners.4Why
15、does the author mention “the Titanic” at the beginning?ATo tell its unknown story.BTo remind readers of its glory.CTo introduce the Olympic class ships.DTo arouse readers interest in the ship.5What maybe led to the pitiful end of the Titanic and the Britannic?ATheir unscientific designs.BTheir capta

18、b-e-a-d-cDe-b-d-a-cYou look up at the sky on a clear and dark night, youll see more stars than your eyes can count. Most of these stars have planets, similar to our own, orbiting them. With so many celestial bodies floating out in space, you cant help but question whether other forms of life exist i
19、n the universe. And if thats the case, is it possible to contact them?Science is still somewhat divided on this issue. Currently, no evidence exists to suggest that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe. Yet with an estimated one trillion planets in our galaxy alone, it seems highly like
20、ly that Earthlings arent the only intelligent creatures out there. Some claim that life can only develop under perfect circumstances, and Earth is perhaps the only example of this. Other scientists object to this claim, and point out that even on Earth, life can find a way under the most extreme cir
21、cumstances.Some people believe that aliens have already visited our planet, but this information is being kept secret by governments. The most famous incident of this kind occurred in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. On that date, many residents reported seeing an unusual flying disc streak through the
22、sky, before it crashed in a field. When the military heard about the crash, they quickly sealed off the area. A few hours later, the army base announced that it had recovered a flying disk. Shortly after, this statement was retracted and it was said that it was a weather balloon that crashed. Howeve
23、r, years later one local mortician even claimed that the military had him secretly perform an autopsy on a dead alien body.Others believe that there certainly are other life forms out there, but the distance between us is too great. Even if we could somehow create a spaceship that travels at the spe
24、ed of light, it would still probably take several lifetimes to reach them. Then again, we might never have to do this if aliens reach us first.8Why do some scientists think there is life on other planets?ABecause an unusual flying disc was ever witnessed.BBecause life exists despite extreme conditio
25、ns as those on the Earth do.CBecause the governments statement seemed suspicious.DBecause there are a great number of planets in the universe.9What does the underlined word “retracted” in paragraph 3 mean?AExamined again to guarantee the correctness.BEmphasized again to persuade people.CFormally tak

27、ge?AObjective.BHumorous.CCautious.DAnxious.Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afrai
28、d to push on late into the night but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or shes doesnt actually accomplish much.This phenomenon can be seen on most college campuses. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day, and the studen
29、ts I used to see there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working. The roommate who flips through her chemistry notes on the couch while watching TV is pseudo-working.By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these st
30、udents are damaging their brains ability to think clearly and efficiently accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort.The bigger problem here is that most students dont even realize that theyre pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work its how theyve
31、always done it, and its how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way. Straight-A students, on the other hand, know all about pseudo-working. They fear it. It not only wastes time, but its also mentally tiring.In fact, the most important skill in becomi
32、ng a straight-A student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive science research concludes that about fifty minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material integrated per time unit. So how do these students achieve this goal? To und
33、erstand their secret to success, consider the following simple formula (公式): work accomplished = time spent intensity of focusPseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A approach on the o
34、ther hand, increases intensity in order to use less time.12Which of the following phenomenon is pseudo-working?ATom is busy taking notes while attending a lecture.BMike is sitting at a study lounge in preparation for a final exam quietly.CJack spends a long time in the library on his essay while lis
35、tening to music.DAlice and Sara are sitting on the couch reading their favorite books.13Compared with straight-A students, the major problem of most students is that they _.Awant to spend more time on studyBare eager to follow their friends wayChave got used to their study approachDare unaware of th

37、ffective study approach is very important.二、七选五The Ancient Chinese Game of GoWeiqi, known in English as Go, is one of the four skills that an ancient Chinese intellectual (知识分子) could possess. It has a history of well over 4,000 years in China and remains popular. Culturally, this activity is really
38、 “more than just a game”._16_ One of Chinas classics, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, describes the famous general Guan Yu playing Go while receiving surgery on his arm.History books have recorded quite a number of ardent Go fans from each dynasty. Today, there are still many in China, Japan and
39、South Korea. Wu Yulin, a professional, explains its attraction, “In Go, you can learn the dialectics (辩证法) and military stratagems. _17_ There are numerous variations within the game and you can never reach the bottom of it.”_18_ Hua Yigang, Secretary General of the China Go Association, remarks on
40、the character-building qualities of Go. “You have to become entirely calm, otherwise you cant play it. You have to be very strong of mind. _19_ You might make mistakes during a game, and then have to readjust your mentality in order to fight to the end.”In fact, all of our minds can benefit from pla
41、ying Go, which officially has the capacity to make you smarter. Research has shown that children who play Go have the potential for greater intelligence. _20_Today, the number of Go fans in China is at 36 million and rising. Some universities like Beijing University are even offering courses in Go t
42、o undergraduates.ATheres always loss and gain.BIts a war between equal powers.CThat is because it motivates both the right and left sides of the brain.DYou can also cultivate your character and improve your intelligence.EBut more often, ancient Chinese played Go to cultivate their mind and character
43、.FThe influence of Go on Chinese society is quite evident in literature works.GMany people also love this ancient game for the Chinese philosophy it contains.三、完形填空I bought the most delightful tangerine (柑橘) yesterday.

We _31_ a dozen and spent the rest of our trip eating the most delicious oranges we had ever tasted.They _32_ me of another orange experience that I had had when I was an art student. These oranges were in Toronto. I caught a glimpse of a Chinatown, where there

Were they a product of the _33_?Sigh.So much has _34_ since then. I am no longer a young art student. There is a pandemic. Hustle and bustle dont exist for the moment. But oranges still do.
