Alisa, Karen, Gabriolle and I had spent that day together just being freshmen-going to the sandwich shop for the last lunch of the term, trying on each others clothes, watching movies and acting like we would never see each other again. For freshmen, and especially for us, saying goodbye at the end of the first year can feel like saying goodbye forever.My advice to any freshmen is to cherish those moments. You may grow completely apart from the people you spent your first year with. Even if you have almost forgotten your freshman year roommates two years later, you can never replace that year and the completely new feeling that your first year of college brings. We learned more outside the classroom than we learned inside it. That dormitory is where we learned the lessons of our freshman years. I think the main lesson I learned was what true friendship is.The story Alisa told on that balcony is far from over. I sometimes wonder if the following is how it will end:“.and those four little girls grew up and realized their dreams. They found themselves all over the country, from farms, to cities, doing everything they wanted to do-a computer technician, a physician, a lawyer, and an architect. And occasionally they would make it back to reunions at that valley and see their friends, laughing about the good times.”24. Why did the author stand on a dormitory balcony?A. To read a storybook.B. To play frisbee with her friends.C. To enjoy the view of Happy Valley.D. To listen to a story told by her friend.25. What does the second paragraph mainly focus on?A. A school party.B. Four girls daily life.C. A common scene described in Happy Valley.D. The last day four girls spent in their freshman year.26. What suggestion does the author give to other freshmen?A. Sharing personal stories with their close friends.B. Treasuring unforgettable moments they have made.C. Remembering to help their close friends whatever they are.D. Inviting their close friends to attend their graduation ceremonies.27. What does the end of the story suggest?A. Every dog has its day. B. True friendship lasts forever.C. A friend in need in a friend indeed. D. There are many passers-by in ones life.CMy son is doing an MA(Master of Arts) in music, so for his final project, he decided to explore the role of fantasy in society. He emailed home for help. “Naturally we all love escapism,” he wrote, “but the important question is why? Youre a fantasy writer, Mum, got any ideas?”This is what I came up with: Fantasy is important for the human mind. It begins as the psychological process by which a child learns to fill the space between knowledge, reality and experience.When we were small children, trying to get to sleep, a creaking(嘎吱响的) floorboard was really frightening. Who or what could be making the noise？The only way to make sense of the experience was to fantasise: there is probably a tiger under the bed.Children frighten themselves silly like this, but while they have no knowledge of central heating pipes swelling(管道膨胀), they have to use make-believe to fill the space between experience and knowledge. As time passes and children learn about the effect of heat on pipes and floorboards, they will often prefer the tiger story. Fear, within a safe environment, is fun.As they grow, children need stories that include war, falling in love, becoming a hero and saving the world. They provide a framework(框架) within which developing emotions can awaken, ready for “real life” when it hits.Louis Sachars Holes is a great modern explanation of this, but the best ones are those we make up for ourselves. A friend who is a child psychologist was treating a boy whod been mistreated by a relative. The child loved this person, and was puzzled and hurt by what had happened, so my friend wrote him a story about a baby rabbit that loved his uncle, a wolf. One day, the wolf hurt him. The rabbit remembered the love, but he also understood that wolves were dangerous, and had to be avoided. The child went away with the tools to reconcile(和解) the irreconcilable.Taking one step away from reality to that “safe” place of pretend prepares us to look the worlds hard realities in the face.28. Which question puzzled the authors son?A. Do people love escapism?B. Why is fantasy so important?C. Is escapism good for people?D. What is the purpose of fantasy music?29. How can fantasies about creaking floorboards benefit children?A. By helping them to get to sleep quickly.B. By encouraging them to find out the truth.C. By helping them to overcome fear on their own.D. By allowing them to explore their feelings in a safe way.30. Which of the following about fantasy would the author agree with?A. It frees kids of concerns.B. It makes people emotional.C. It helps people spot danger.D. It prepares kids for real life.31. How did the child psychologists make-up story turn out?A. It worked well.B. It confused the child.C. It made the relative apologise.D. It became more popular than Holes.DNew artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) software is being used in Japan to monitor the body language of shoppers and look for signs that they are planning to shoplift. The software, VaakEye, which is made by a Tokyo startup called Vaak, uses behavior to predict shoplifting action. Company founder Ryo Tanaka said his team trained it to monitor everything from the facial expressions of shoppers to their movements and clothing.Vaak says that shoplifting losses dropped by 77% during a test period in local convenience stores and VaakEye has since been rolled out in 50 stores across Japan.Using AI to catch thieves raises all kinds of questions, however.“While the goal is to prevent theft, is it legal to prevent someone from entering a store based on this software?” said Michelle Grant from Euromonitor.“What we provide is information. We dont decide who is a shoplifter; the shop decides whos a shoplifter,” said Tanaka.Yet that is what concerns the human rights charity Liberty, which is campaigning to ban facial recognition technology in the United Kingdom. Liberty is also worried that AI will raise discrimination(歧视).“With technologies that rely on particular human behavior-the possibility of discrimination is always there,” said Hannah Couchman, Libertys policy officer.“Are people aware of whats happening?” asked Couchman. “What do they think about it? What happens to the data? How is it protected? Might it be shared?”Grant said consumers are willing to sacrifice some privacy for convenience-such as using face recognition for payment-but only when theyre aware of what the technology is being used.“There is a need for guidance from regulators and lawmakers who will finally need to decide in what situations the use of this technology will be proper,” said Christopher Eastham, a specialist in AI at the law firm Fieldfisher.32. What can we learn about VaakEye?A. It fails to make a difference.B. It is banned in Tokyo.C. It can help recognize shoplifters.D. It is warmly welcomed by customers.33. What is Michelle Grants attitude toward VaakEye?A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Unconcerned.D. Disappointed.34. What is Libertys concern about VaakEye?A. It may make mistakes.B. It may create unfairness.C. It may result in more shoplifting.D. It may dissatisfy customers needs.35. What does Christopher Eastham say about VaakEye?A. It needs to be improved.B. It disturbs customers privacy.C. It should be regulated by laws.D. It is convenient for shopkeepers.第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。People are used to turning the handle on a sink and seeing a stream of clear water pour forth. But where does this water come from? Typically, a town will pump it from a river or lake. _36_Thats why a community will typically process that water -clean it -through a series of steps before sending it on to your faucet(龙头).The first step is usually to add chemicals that cause those solid bits to clump(结块)together. Even if those solids cant hurt you, they could cloud water and give it a funny taste. _37_ Next, the water flows into big tanks where it will sit for a while. During this settling period, the solids begin to fall to the bottom. The cleaner water atop it then moves through membranes(薄膜). _38_ Following this disinfection(消毒)step, the water now is ready to flow through pipes to homes throughout a community._39_ They may add chemicals at different stages. Some may install(安装) an ion exchange system. They also vary the chemicals used, based on the qualities of the incoming local water.Some water companies are streamlining their treatment process even more by installing technologies such as reverse osmosis. _40_ Reverse osmosis can replace a number of steps in the water treatment process or reduce the number of chemicals added to water. But it s expensive- out of reach for many cities.A. This technique removes nearly every pollutant in water.B. A gentle shaking of the water helps trap more air into it.C. Different communities may make small changes in this process.D. By making these bits clump, they become bigger and easier to remove.E. Many families have to worry about their own cleanup and treatment.F. Then the water is treated with chemicals to kill harmful bacteria and viruses.G. But this water can host various bacteria and solids-waterborne dirt, rotting plant bits and more.第三部分： 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。My cousin is nine years old, a little bit fat and doesnt do well at school.
