11、tureThe North Pole Adventure is a one-of-a-kind interactive Christmas attraction for the entire family. Unlike other Christmas attractions, it is open from November 25 until Christmas Eve. It is not a guided tour. While elves (小精灵) are throughout the adventure to interact with your children, your ki

12、ds can spend as much time in each area as they wish. The adventure features a replica(复制品) of the North Pole including everything you imagine at Santas North Pole.Santas HouseKids will experience what its like at the North Pole and see first-hand what it takes for Santa and his elves to get ready fo

13、r Christmas each year. The memories your children will take away from Santas House will be ones they will remember for a life time.Post OfficeAll kids will be assisted by Santas elves in writing a letter to Santa and then depositing it in Santas magical mailbox.

17、ght online if they sell out at the ticket office22（8分）Oumuamua,an object through space that was discovered on October 19th, has already made history.The speed at which it is moving relative to the sun means that it cannot be native to the solar system. Its official name is thus II/2017 UI, with the

18、“I” standing for “interstellar(星际)”the first time this name has ever been used.That is exciting.Some scientists, though, entertain an even more exciting possibility: what if Oumuamua is not an asteroid(小行星),as most think, but an alien(外星的)spacecraft? Asteroids come in ll sorts of shapes and sizes, b

19、ut Oumuamua seems particularly different.As best as astronomers can tell, it is cigarlike,being roughly 180 meters long but only about 30 meters wide.That makes it longer than anything known of in the solar system.Such a shape would be a sensible choice for a spaceship,since it would minimize the sc

20、ouring(冲刷)effect of interstellar dust.With that in mind the Breakthrough Listen project, an organization aimed at hunting for alien life, plans to turn the worlds biggest radio telescope,the Green Bank instrument in Virginia,towards Oumuamua to see if it can hear anything interesting.Oumuamua is cur

21、rently about twice as far from Earth as Earth is from the sun. At that range,the telescope should be sensitive enough to pick up a transmitter about as powerful as a mobile phone after just a few secondsworthy of observations.Will it find anything? Almost certainly not.Oumuamua has the same reddish

22、color as many as asteroids,so probably has a similar composition.And, if it really is a spaceship, it is strange that signs of its artificial origin have not been seen already.It could, in theory, be a derelict(遗弃星球). But in that case the telescope is unlikely to hear anything. By far the most likel

23、y option is that it is exactly what it seems to be: a huge space rock, one that has come to the solar system from the vast space between the stars.1、What makes some scientists think Oumuamua is possibly an alien spacecraft?AIts size. BIts color.CIts shape. DIts speed.2、What does the underlined word“

24、that”in the third paragraph probably mean?AThe research into the solar system.BThe purpose of hunting for alien life.CThe effect of interstellar dust on Oumuamua.DThe possibility of Oumuamua being a spaceship.3、What is Oumuamua most likely to be according to the author?AAn asteroid. BA space rock.CI

25、nterstellar dust. DAn alien spacecraft.4、It can be inferred from the last paragraph that_.AOumuamua will return to where its from soonBOumuamuas real identity remains to be found outCastronomers have not seen signs of Oumuamuas artificial originDthe Green Bank telescope has already heard something f

26、rom Oumuamua23（8分）That robots, automation, and software can replace people might seem obvious to anyone whos worked in automotive manufacturing. But MIT business scholars Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfees claim is more troubling and controversial. They believe that rapid technological change has

27、been destroying jobs faster than it is creating them.They believe that technology increases productivity and makes societies wealthier, but it became clear to them that the same technologies making many jobs safer, easier, and more productive were also reducing the demand for many types of human wor

28、kers. Technologies like the Web, artificial intelligence, and big data are automating many routine tasks. Countless traditional white-collar jobs, such as many in the post office and in customer service, have disappeared.As evidence, Brynjolfsson and McAfee point to a chart on which separate lines r

29、epresent productivity and total employment in the United States. For years after World War II, the two lines closely tracked each other, with increases in jobs corresponding to increases in productivity. Then, beginning in 2000, the lines diverge; productivity continues to rise steadily, but employm

30、ent suddenly shrinks. By 2011, a significant gap appears between the two lines, showing economic growth with no parallel increase in job creation.United States Productivity and EmploymentBut are these new technologies really responsible for a decade of lackluster (无生气) job growth? David Autor, an ec

31、onomist at MIT who has studied the connections between jobs and technology, doubts that technology could account for such a sudden change in total employment. Moreover, he also doubts that productivity has, in fact, risen steadily in the United States in the past decade. If hes right, it raises the

32、possibility that poor job growth could be simply a result of a depressed economy. The sudden slowdown in job creation “is a big puzzle,” he says, “but theres not a lot of evidence that its linked to computers.” “To be sure, computer technologies are changing the types of jobs available, but that is

33、very different from saying technology is affecting the total number of jobs,” he adds. “Jobs can change a lot without there being huge changes in employment rates.”Lawrence Katz, a Harvard economist, says that while technological changes can be painful for workers whose skills no longer match the ne

34、eds of employers, no historical pattern shows these shifts leading to a net decrease in jobs over an extended period. Still, Katz doesnt dismiss the notion that there is something different about todays digital technologies. Though he expects the historical pattern to hold, it is “genuinely a questi

35、on,” he says. “If technology disrupts enough, who knows what will happen?”1、Which period on the chart strongly supports McAfees claim?A19471967. B19851987.C19972000. D20112013.2、According to David Autor, the change in job growth _.Ais not necessarily caused by technologyBresults from a weakening eco

36、nomyChas no connection with productivityDaffects the current types of jobs3、What is Lawrence Katzs attitude towards the topic?AOptimistic. BDefensive.CObjective. DDisapproving.4、The main purpose of the passage is to _.Ashow the relation between productivity and job creationBdiscuss the effect of tec

37、hnological advances on employmentCargue against the wide use of artificial intelligenceDexplain the impact of technologies on productivity24（8分） Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child a bit of nostalgia (怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as

38、 we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the

39、 best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the w

40、ords. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Rese

41、archers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a h

42、igher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they a

43、re contained in a catchy or memorable tune.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign

44、language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”1、The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to _.Arecall the pastBamuse the readersCintroduce the topicDcompare the past with the present2、According to the passage which language doesnt share the same root with Ger

45、manic or Romance languages?AHungarianBSpanishCItalianDEnglish3、From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that _.Asinging is the best way to learn a foreign languageBbrain probably works best when foreign language learners sing the wordsCa listen-repeat method is very effective for any language l

47、asked to speak the words to a beat.DIn the study 60 adults were divided into 3 groups according to abilities.5、In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?AA mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.BA child is going to have his first music lesson.CA student is going to learn

48、 a new English song.DAn American is going to learn some Chinese.25（10分）How would you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is style? Lets hear a few words of wisdom from the wise. “Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say,” (Gore Vidal); “Style is an

49、expression of individualism mixed with charm,” (John Fairchild); “Style is the perfection of a point of view,” (Robert Eberhart); “Style is a simple way of saying complicated things,” (Jean Cocteau); “Style is the dress of thoughts,” (Lord Chesterfield).So, now you know what style is, youll need to

50、buy some clothes. But where? In the UK, you can get really cheap, stylish, second-hand clothes at charity shops. Theyre great if you want exclusive labels but dont want to pay the price. The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are. But dont worry, Leila Gray can help you he

51、re. Shes the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charity shop for 20-a good deal when you realize it cost more than 800 new. “You have to go to the richer areas of a city,” she says. “Thats where all the labels are. It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun,

52、 and theres a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered.”So, now you know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, how do you acquire your style? Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style-something thats really you. Thats what Scottish musicia

53、n Morus did. “My fashion tip is this,” he says, “Look at yourself with the eye of a graphic designer. If you cant be attractive, aim for interesting or original.” Momus unique style could even make him happier, too. As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people “judge themselves by the

54、ir own yardsticks, never against what others do or have”.Shoichi Aoki, the founder of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees. “I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them,” he says. “What you see in fashion magazines and on

55、models has been styled and its more commercial.” He says that his inspiration for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta” (Japanese wooden clogs) with Western fashion. “This really caught my eye,” Aoki adds. These styles may seem wild, but Aokis

56、idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.Maybe its time to create your own look. There are many online guides to help you. Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow, “If you see something you like,” it says, “feel free to copy, but dont make yourself a cl

BGo for whatever is fashionable.CSimplify complicated expressions. DFigure out what a true style is.2、What does the underlined word “that” in Pa

58、ragraph 2 refer to?AGetting clothes of leading brands. BBuying clothes at rather low prices.CSearching for really good bargains.
