15、e passages 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. Green Spring Renews Lifes Promise For me, two of the loveliest words in the English language are
16、“Life persists”. I came across them years ago as a college freshman, sitting in the library on a beautiful spring day, bored, working on a history paper. I dont recall _21_ I was researching into. Out of nowhere, those two words came _22_ (dance) off the page in a quote by Gandhi, “In the midst of d
17、eath life persists, in the midst of untruth truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.” After those words _23_ (read) again a dozen times, suddenly I was no longer bored. Outside in the sunshine, I kicked off my shoes and danced barefoot across a spring-green lawn. I love spring. And t
18、his year, I was especially hungry to see it. Flying home last weekend to Las Vegas, after 10 days in California, I looked down on hills that were so green that I _24_ almost taste them. When I approached Vegas, the green turned a dull desert brown. We landed after sunset, and the only green to be se
19、en was neon(霓虹灯). But the next morning, to my surprise, I _25_ (awake) to find signs of spring all over my yard. _26_ my absence, all sorts of things had leafed and bloomed. Three days later, I drove to Arizona to visit a friend and get yet another taste of spring seeing the Giants play the As in sp
20、ring training. The drive across the desert was completely great, a variety of wildflowers and blooming cactuses. Sometimes we need the chance _27_ (remind) that were still alive. After my husband died, a friend sent me a card which read: “Just _28_ you think you will never smile again, life comes ba
21、ck.” Life persists, and so do _29_ in the green of spring and the dead of winter, in the birth of a child and the passing of a loved one; in the words we leave behind and the hearts of those _30_ will remember us. Spring reminds us that were alive forever. Section B Directions: Complete the followin
22、g 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. motive B. deliberately C. convinced D. injurious E. alerts F. desperately G. swept H. accounts I. unconscious J. preserving K. charging Why Humpback Whales (座头鲸) Protect Other
23、 Species from Killer Whales Robert Pitman, a marine ecologist, describes an encounter he witnessed in Antarctica in 2009. A group of killer whales were attacking a Weddell seal. The seal swam _31_ toward a pair of humpbacks that had inserted themselves into the action. One of the humpbacks rolled ov
24、er on its back, and the seal was _32_ onto its chest, between the whales massive flippers (鳍). “That incident _33_ me,” he says. “Those humpbacks were doing something we couldnt explain.” Pitman started asking other researchers and whale watchers to send him similar _34_. Soon he was reading through
25、 observations of 115 encounters between humpbacks and killer whales, recorded over 62 years. “There are some pretty astonishing videos of humpbacks _35_ killer whales,” he says. In a 2016 article in Marine Mammal Science, a famous scientific journal, Pitman and his co-authors describe this behaviour
26、 and confirm that such acts of do-gooding are widespread. But knowing that something is happening and understanding why its happening are two different things. Pitman and his co-authors openly reflected on the meaning of these encounters. “Why,” they wrote, “would humpbacks _36_ interfere with attac
27、king killer whales, spending time and energy on a potentially _37_ activity, especially when the killer whales were attacking other species of prey?” Interestingly, humpbacks dont just hit on killer-whale attacks. They race toward them like firefighters into burning buildings. And like those rescue
28、workers, humpbacks dont know who is in danger until they get there. Thats because the sound that _38_ them to an attack isnt the sad voice of the victim. Its the excited calls of the killer whales. Pitman believes humpbacks have one simple instruction: “When you hear killer whales attacking, go brea
29、k it up.” I wonder what humpback whales care deeply enough about to actively swim into battle with killer whales. When I ask Pitman, he tells me that, it still comes down to selfishly _39_ their own kind. He believes that their occasional rescues of humpback calves (后代) create a strong enough _40_ f
30、or them to rush in to help, even if it means they end up saving sunfish, sea lions, dolphins every now and then. III. Reading Comprehension Section A 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 t
31、hat best fits the context. Its a high-risky, multibillion-dollar industry with tight deadlines, demanding customers and lives in danger. The business is 41 . And its booming. The number of jobs for translators and interpreters doubled in the past 10 years while their wages steadily 42 before, during
32、 and after the recession. During a period of stagnating (停 滞的) wages across the labor market, the language-service industry with its 50,000 jobs is a 43 spot in the jobs outlook. Lillian Clementi is a French translator working in corporate communications from her home in Arlington, Massachusetts and
33、 is routinely on tight deadlines to hand in translated material. “The risks can be huge,” said Clementi, “Theres tons of 44 pressure.” In some cases, a(n) 45 translation or interpretation is also vital. If a users guide for medical equipment is not translated well, it could lead to 46 during an emer
34、gency. Soldiers in conflict areas require excellent interpreters to speak with community members. Any change of tone or context could put lives 47 . Translators and interpreters immunity (免疫力) to the nations economic downturn also 48 the growing demand for people who can speak several languages in a
35、n increasingly globalized economy, experts said. “Good translators who 49 a particular subject and become really good at it can really make six-digit figures annually,” said Jiri Stejskal, spokesman for the American Translators Association. Multinational corporations, U.S. demographic (人口的) changes
36、and the Internet economy raise the need for translated and localized information. Companies increasingly want their content 50 to the tongue of the town, even between dialects of the same language. “As more people 51 the worldwide economy, thats going to drive more commerce, and thats going to drive
37、 more language services,” said Bill Rivers, executive director of the National Council for Language and International Studies in the Washington region. 52 , qualifications for translators and interpreters are not as simple as they may seem. Speaking two languages does not mean a person can work in t
38、he language-service industry, experts said. Learning how to translate or interpret is a 53 skill beyond knowing the language. Furthermore, the most successful translators and interpreters maintain a 54 , such as legal documents, quarterly earnings reports or a special knowledge of industry. Technolo
39、gical advances may cut jobs in some industries, but online translation services like Google Translate 55 raise demand for human translators and interpreters, experts said. Online sales companies also drive demand for translation. 41A. tourism B. language C. technology D. economy 42A. shrank B. chang

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished sattments. For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Choose the o
43、ne that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Aristotle thought the face was a window onto a persons mind. Cicero agreed. Two thousand years passed, and facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to judge other peoples fe
44、elings, irrespective of age, sex and culture. A raised eyebrow suggests confusion. A smile indicates happiness. Or do they? An analysis of hundreds of research papers that examined the relationship between facial expressions and underlying emotions has uncovered a surprising conclusion: there is no
45、good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as recognizable facial expressions for basic emotions which are universal across cultures. Just because a person is not smiling, the researchers found, does not mean that person is unhappy. This may raise questions about the efforts of i
46、nformation-technology companies to develop artificial-intelligence algorithms (算法) which can recognize facial expressions and work out a persons underlying emotional state. Microsoft, for example, claims its “Emotion API” is able to detect what people are feeling by examining video footage of them.
47、Another of the studys authors, however, expressed scepticism. Aleix Martinez, a computer engineer at Ohio State University, said that companies attempting to obtain emotions from images of faces have failed to understand the importance of context. For a start, facial expression is but one of a numbe
48、r of non-verbal ways，such as body posture, that people use to communicate with each other. Machine recognition of emotion needs to take account of these as well. But context can reach further than that. Dr Martinez mentioned an experiment in which participants were shown a close-up picture of a mans
49、 face, which was bright red with his mouth open in a scream. Based on this alone, most participants said the man was extremely angry. Then the whole picture was shown. It was a football player with his arms outstretched, celebrating a goal. His angry-looking face was, in fact, a show of pure joy. Given that people cannot guess each others emotional
