Each word can only be used on

9、ce. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. chance B. disused C. envelop D. launched E. object F. point G. predictedH. re-entering I. sound J. fortunate K. straight Chinese Space Station to Crash back to EarthThere are currently more than 500,000 pieces of space junk being tracked as they

10、 circle Earth. Space junk, or debris, consists of bits of metal, _31_ satellites and even a space station that is no longer in use, all of it circling the planet. Now this space station is about to fall to Earth. Tiangong-1 was Chinas first space station. It was _32_ in 2011, but the country lost co

11、ntact with it in March 2016 and later that year, Chinese officials confirmed that the 3.5-metre-wide _33_ would return to Earth. At the moment, scientists dont know exactly where or when the space station will enter the planets atmosphere, but believe it will be between 30 March and 2 April. There i

12、s no need to worry, though. While scientists cant say where it will land, there is very little _34_ that the space station will hit a populated area. This is because most of it will burn up in Earths atmosphere - a(n) _35_ of gases that protect the planet. Also, because most of Earth is covered in w

13、ater, scientists think that if there is any debris, it will fall _36_ into the sea. As the _37_ landing date gets closer, scientists will be able to determine where it will fall - if necessary - steps will be taken to keep people safe and _38_. A statement by Aerospace, a US company that advises the

14、 US government about space travel, said, In the history of spaceflight, no known person has ever been harmed by _39_ space debris（残留物）. One thing scientists are confident of, though, is that wherever it enters the atmosphere, the debris will create a spectacular fireball for anyone _40_ enough to se

15、e it. III. Reading Comprehensions Section ADirections: 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. Governments are keen on higher education, seeing it as a means to boost social

16、mobility and economic growth. Almost all sub-sidise（补贴）tuition - in America, to the tune of $200 billion a year. But they tend to overestimate the benefits and _41_ the costs of expanding university education. As more young people seek degrees, the returns both to them and to governments are _42_. S

17、pending on universities is usually _43_ by the graduate premium - the increase in earnings that graduates enjoy over non-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking goes, _44_ an economic boost for society as a whole. But the graduate premium is a faulty unit of calculation. Part of the usefulne

18、ss of a degree is that it gives a graduate job-seeker an advantage _45_ non-graduates. It is also a signal to employers of general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that someone already has in order to get into a university. Some professions require qualifications. But a degree is not a

19、lways the best _46_ of the skills and knowledge needed for a job. With degrees so _47_, employers are using them as a way to screen applicants. Non-graduates are thus increasingly _48_ decent work. In any case, the premium counts only the winners and not the losers. Across the rich world, a third of

20、 university students never graduate. It is the weakest students who are drawn in as higher education _49_ and who are most likely to drop out. They pay fees and _50_ earnings to study, but see little improvement in their future incomes. When dropouts are _51_, the expected financial return to starti

21、ng a degree for the weakest students shrinks to almost nothing. Many school-leavers are being _52_ about the probable value of university. Governments need to offer the young a wider range of options after school. They should start by rethinking their own _53_ practices. School-leavers should be giv

22、en a wider variety of ways to gain vocation skills and to demonstrate their _54_. If school qualifications were made more difficult to get, employers would be more likely to trust them as signals of ability, and less _55_ degrees. Micro-credentials - short, work-focused courses approved by big emplo

26、restricted to Section BDirections: Read the following two passage. 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.

27、 (A)I wanted the pleasure of being in Africa again. Feeling that the place was so large it contained many untold tales and some hope and comedy and sweetness too, I aimed to reinsert myself in the bundy, as we used to call the bush, and to wander around. There I had lived and worked, happily, almost

28、 forty years ago, in the heart of the greenest continent. In those old undramatic days of my school teaching in the bundu, folks lived their lives on bush paths at the end of unpaved roads of red clay, in villages of grass-roofed huts. They had a new national flag, they had just gotten the vote, som

29、e had bikes, many talked about buying their first pair of shoes. They were hopeful, and so was I, a schoolteacher living near a settlement of mud-huts among trees and fields - children shouting at play; and women bent double - most with infants on their backs - hoeing（锄地）the corn beans; and the men

30、sitting in the shade. The Swahili word safari means journey, it has nothing to do with animals, someone on safari is just away and unobtainable and out of touch. Out of touch in Africa was where I wanted to be. The wish to disappear sends many travellers away. If you are thoroughly sick of being kep

31、t waiting at home or at work, travel is perfect: let other people wait for a change. Travel is a sort of revenge for having been put on hold, or having to leave messages on answering machines, not knowing your partys extension, being kept waiting all your working life. But also being kept waiting is

32、 the human condition. Travel in the African bush can also be a sort of revenge on mobile phones and email, on telephones and the daily paper, on the aspects of globalisation that allow anyone who chooses to get their hands on you. I desired to be unobtainable. I was going to Africa for the best of r

33、easons - in a spirit of discover - simply to disappear, to light out, with a suggestion of I dare you to try to find me. Home had become a routine, and routine make time pass quickly. I was a sitting duck in this predictable routine: people knew when to call me, they knew when I would be at my desk.

34、 I was in such regular touch it was like having a job, a mode of life I hated . I was sick of being called up and asked for favors, hit up for money. You stick around too long and people begin to impose their own deadlines on you. 56. What did the writer expect from his journey?A. To have a variety

35、of enjoyable experiences. B. To see how Africa had changed. C. To see impressive scenery. D. To meet some old friend. 57. Forty years ago, how did the writer feel about the future of the country where he was living?A. Little was likely to change. B. Things were likely to improve. C. Women would do m

36、ost of the work. D. Peoples expectations were too limited. 58. In paragraph 3, what reason does the writer give for wanting to travel to Africa?A. He wanted a change of activity. B. He wanted people to be unable to contact him. C. His health was suffering from staying at home. D. He had been waiting

37、 to return to Africa for long. 59. The writer says I was a sitting duck in paragraph 5 to show that _. A. he was boring B. he was easy to find C. he had a fixed lifestyle D. he was always lending money (B)The house style that dominated American housing during the 1880s and 1890s was known as Queen A

38、nne, a curious name for an American style. The name was, in fact, a historical accident, originating with fashionable architects in Victorian England who coined it with apparently no reason other than its pleasing sound. The Queen Anne style was loosely based on structures built long before 1702, th

39、e beginning year of Queen Annes reign（统治期）. A distinctive characteristic found in most Queen Anne houses is the unusual roof shape (illustrated in the picture on the right) - a steeply pitched, hipped central portion with protruding lower front and side extensions that end in gables. It is often pos

40、sible to spot these distinctive roof forms from several blocks away. Another feature of this style is the detailing, shown in the wood board siding cut into fanciful decorative patterns of scallops, curves, diamonds, or triangles. Queen Anne houses are almost always asymmetrical（不对称的）. If you draw a

41、n imaginary line down the middle of one, you will see how different the right and left sides are, all the way from ground level to roof peak. A final characteristic is the inviting wraparound porch（门廊）that includes the front door area and then extends around to either the right or left side of the h

42、ouse. Queen Anne houses faded from fashion early in the twentieth century as the publics taste shifted toward the more modern Prairie and Craftsman style houses. Today, however, Queen Anne houses are favorite symbols of the past, painstakingly and lovingly restored by old-house buffs and reproduced

43、by builders who give faithful attention to the distinctive shapes and detailing that were first popularized more than one hundred years ago. 60. Why does the author use the word curious (in paragraph 1) in describing the name of an American style?A. The style was invented before Queen Annes reign. B

44、. The style was more popular in Victorian England. C. The name was accidentally misspelled. D. The name did not originate in America. 61. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2 about the Queen Anne style?A. It was not very popular. B. It had to be build in the city. C. It combined s

45、everal other styles. D. It was elaborate and fancily decorated. 62. According to passage, why did Queen Anne houses go out of style?A. People started moving to the suburbs. B. People came to see them as a symbol of the past. C. People were more interested in newer house styles. D. People could no lo

46、nger afford to build such large houses. (C)What will the development of quantum computers（量子计算机）mean for our civilisations? Oh sure, better cryptography（密码方式）, more powerful processing, but bottom line, we just dont know . yet. This phenomenon isnt unique to quantum computing, of course. Its somethi

47、ng we see time and gain with all new world-changing technology. In some ways, its how we can define a technology as world-changing: everyone agrees its going to be hugely important, but nobody can predict exactly what impact it will have. The internet remains the classic example. Although invented i

48、n the 1960s, even by the late 1990s, the internet was still being dismissed as something that is fashionable but unlikely to last. Most commentators thought it nothing more than a curiosity. Theres a famous 1999 interview between David Bowie and BBC journalist Jeremy Paxman. In it, Bowie predicts th

49、at the internet will change the nature of music, and remove the barriers between creator and audience. The longer he spoke, the more Paxman said in anger that Bowie could possibly believe this about the internet. To be fair to Paxman, in 1999, internet at home meant accessing it over a modern. Conce

50、pts like WeChat and Netflix and more simply could not work over such limited bandwidth. But there were still some people who assumed that bandwidth would increase and that streaming music and video would be possible soon enough. They were laughed at. Oddly enough, as the dot-com boom intensified, ma

51、ny turned from doubters to hopeless optimists, and lost serious money building websites to deliver content that simply couldnt fit down the inter-tubes of the day. Then in the second decade of the 21st century: critical mass. Bandwidth increased massively. Forget showing a nice little video in your

52、browser, today Nexflix can serve you a TV show in 4K, as long as you have 25Mbps connection. Quantum computing isnt a consumer technology, of course. Its a much bigger deal than that. Quantum computing is more like the invention of the transistor（电子晶体）. Sure, most people have heard of it, but few un

53、derstand it. Actually, we dont even really understand it. But were reasonably comfortable that when a lab has that many scanning electron microscopes, it must be doing something important, right?Quantum computing is still at the stage of hit it with a hammer until it works. Sure the hammer is micros

54、copic, and also a laser or magnetic field of some kind, but the point is were going through the process of turning the idea into reality. Sooner than you think, though, qubit-based computers are going to get applied to stuff. What stuff? Like always, it will be super secret stuff first. Then it will

55、 reach the rest of us. This is how the world begins. Not with a bang, but with a lot of extremely hard work behind the scenes. 63. What attitude did most people take towards the internet in the 1990s?A. Optimistic. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Defensive. 64. The example of the internet is intende

56、d to illustrate that _. A. it is hard to define what is world-changing technologyB. the internet was universally acknowledged as importantC. the influence of new technology is usually unpredictable D. the internet inspired many debates in the following years65. By hit it with a hammer until it works

57、, the writer means that quantum computing _. A. has been questioned B. has been fully understood C. hasnt been heard of before D. hasnt been applied to practice 66. What can be concluded about new technology from the passage?A. Its development is a gradual process. B. Most is the brainchild of a sci

58、entist. C. Not all is accessible to the public. D. Its future is often a top secret. Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. 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. A. Patients can

59、 also improve the efficiency of their care. B. A final benefit of putting patients in charge comes from the production of their data. C. That shift is happening. D. With data at their fingertips, common standards to enable sharing and a strong stimulator to get things right, patients are more likely

60、 to spot errors. E. Medical data may not seem to lead to a revolution, but the flow of information is likely to bear fruit in several ways. F. It will make it easier for you to find other people with similar diseased and to see how they responded to various treatments. A Digital Revolution in Health
