Language itself became submitted to rules during this period. This need to fix the Englis

11、h language is best illustrated (描述) in the making of The Dictionary of the English Language by Samuel Johnson. Guides to the English language had been in existence before Johnson began his project in 1746. These, however, were often little more than lists of hard words. When definitions of common wo

12、rds were supplied, they were often unhelpful. For example, a “horse” was defined in an early dictionary as “a beast well known”.Johnson changed all that, but the task was not an easy one. Renting a house at 17 Gough Square, Johnson began working in the worst of conditions. Supported only by his publ

13、isher, Johnson worked on the Dictionary with five assistants. Compared to the French Academys dictionary, which took forty workers fifty-five years to complete (1639-1694), Johnsons dictionary was completed by very few people very quickly.Balanced on a chair with only three legs, Johnson sat against

14、 a wall in a room filled with books. Johnson would read widely from these books, mark passages illustrating the use of a particular word, and give the books to his assistants so that they could copy the passages on slips of paper. These slips were then stuck to eighty large notebooks under the key w

15、ords that Johnson had selected. Fixing the word by this method, Johnson could record a word，s usage and its definition.How many passages were used? According to Johnsons modern biographer Walter Jackson Bate, the original total number could have been over 20,000. How many words were defined by the l

16、exicographer? Over 40,000 words appeared in two large books in April of 1755. Did Johnson fully understand the huge task he was undertaking when he began? As he told his contemporary biographer James Boswell, “I knew very well what I was undertaking and very well how to do it and have done it very w

17、ell.”1、What is the problem of early English dictionaries?AThey only offer simple pictures.BThey list just a few foreign words.CThey simply give some translations.DThey add no more than some big words.2、What does the underlined word “lexicographer” in paragraph 4 refer to?AA publisher.BA biographer.C

18、A maker of dictionaries.DAn assistant.3、What can we infer about Samuel Johnson from the text?AHe standardized English.BHe cared about authority a lot.CHe gained much financial support.DHe complained of working conditions.4、What is the purpose of this passage?ATo discuss the problems of dictionaries.

19、BTo encourage people to work on a project.CTo persuade people to buy the new dictionary.DTo introduce how Johnson complete his dictionary.22（8分） Last fall, I happened to overhear a student telling the others he had decided not to sign up for an introductory philosophy course. The demands of his majo

20、r, he said seriously, meant he needed to take “practical” courses, and “enlightenment” would simply have to wait. For now, employability was the most important.The students conversation fits into a larger alarming narrative about the role of the humanities in higher education. In a time of dizzying

21、technological achievement and of rapid scientific innovation, sceptics of the humanities may question the usefulness of studying Aristotle, the Italian Renaissance or Chinese fiction.Actually, I regret not interrupting that student to argue for taking that introductory philosophy course. I would hav

22、e started by reminding him that, for much of Americas history, college graduates were not considered truly educated unless they had mastered philosophy, literature, political theory and history. The key role of higher education was to invite students into the conversations about matters like what it

23、 means to be alive and the definition of justice. Fostering engagement with these subjects is still an essential part of the universitys function in society.I would have also mentioned to the student that he was misinformed about the job market. It is true that many employers are looking for graduat

24、es with specialized technical skills, but they also look for other capabilities. As the world is transformed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation, the unique human qualities of creativity, imagination and moral reasoning will be the ultimate coin of the realm. All these skills

25、 are developed in humanities courses.Further, I would have argued that while a degree anchored in the sciences is an important precondition for many jobs, it is not the only route. Look no further than the founders of companies such as LinkedIn, Slack and Flickr, who are among the many tech business

26、persons with degrees in the humanities, and who credit that training for their success.Contrary to the widely held belief that humanities majors have a hard time getting jobs, recent studies show that those with humanities degrees are successful in the workplace, experiencing low rates of unemployme

27、nt and reporting high levels of job satisfaction. The ratio between average median(中位数) incomes for humanities degree holders and those with business, engineering, and health and medical sciences degrees has been shown to narrow over the course of a career.The case for the humanities can also be und

28、erstood in less transactional terms and more as a foundational preparation for a life well lived. A humanities education plays a vital role in encouraging citizens to lead an examined life. It fosters critical thinking, self-reflection, empathy and tolerance, the usefulness of which only becomes mor

29、e apparent as one navigates lifes challenges.By all means, students should take courses they think practical and follow their interests, but if they also make a point of studying the literature of the Renaissance, or researching into modern poetry, or even taking introductory philosophy, we will all

Scientists in the United States have announced the creation of the

40、first transistor with only two dimensions（二维）.A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current. Scientists hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high-resolution（高分辨率）displays that need very little energy.Two groups of scientists created these 2

41、D transistors. They report that the transistors are only a few atoms thick.Usually transistors are made with the element silicon（硅）. Computer processors, memory chips, TV screens and other electronic devices contain billions of silicon-based transistors. But these very small electrical parts have ce

42、rtain limitations.Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University. He says the traditional transistor has been improved as much as it can be.He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with special features and they want transistors to be seen thro

43、ugh and soft.“If the layers are very thin, the transistor can become flexible, so it doesnt have to be rigid（坚硬的）, like it would be in a silicon chip. So people can think of applications like wearable electronics, television screens and other things,” said Ioannou.These new transistors can also carr

44、y higher current. They also can move the current much faster than traditional transistors. This is important for high-definition screens.Dimitris Ioannou says the scientific success could prove very useful in the future. Now, how good and how useful it will be, its still in the stage of research, bu

45、t it certainly is an advance, said Ioannou.1、Which of the following statements about the newly created transistor is TRUE?AThey are expected to be used in high-resolution displays.BThe transistors are made with the element silicon.CThey are rigid, just like traditional transistors.DThey have already

46、 been put into actual use.2、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?AThe traditional transistors have been changed into two-dimensional ones.BMany of the traditional transistors have been improved over the years.CThe traditional transistor has been developed to its fullest.DThe traditi

47、onal transistor has been developed quite well.3、What is Dimitris Ioannous attitude towards the creation of the new transistors?ANegative. BNeutral.CIndifferent. DPositive.25（10分）Have you ever looked at a fashionable item of clothing and felt confused? If so, your confusion may have made sense.Severa

48、l months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a “T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.But the “double shirt” isnt fighting alone on the frontier of strange fashion. Ever since US shoe manufacturer Crocs rele

49、ased its famous hole-filled foam shoes, the so-called “ugly fashion” hasnt showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion website noted.British designer Paul Surridge believes that the rise of ugly fashion is a sign that people are bored with looking perfect all the time. “Fashion thrives

50、 (v. 蓬勃发展) on novelty”, he told the Financial Times.Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something thats considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next.And in the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesnt necessarily mean the design of the

51、 item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Ugly fashion means not the mainstream it is not what everyones wearing; it is not what the general population considers as in right now,” she told style news site Fashionista.But throughout the history of fashion, when any new trend appears, m

52、ost people tend to hate it, before it eventually becomes loved. As Italian designer Miuccia Prada told The New York Times, “Maybe because it is newer, ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.”Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up new ugly fashion trends. These blo

53、ggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making statements with their wardrobe choices. However, as Clever-ish Magazine noted, just being comfortable in your own skin could actually be “the best look”.“I personally love having a unique expression because

54、 without ugly fashion and diversity, wed all look the same,” Australian fashion influencer and model Zanita Whittington told Fashionista. “I appreciate anything thats out of the norm(n. 规范).”1、The underlined word “in” in the passage could be replaced by _.Augly BfashionableCaffordable Dexpensive2、Wh

55、at will some social media fashion bloggers do to show their personalities?AThey will dress themselves to look perfect.BThey will try some new and exciting clothes.CThey will make statements with others clothes choices.DThey will express themselves by wearing ugly clothes.3、What can we infer from Zan

56、ita Whittingtons words?AShe is in favor of ugly fashion trends.BShe doesnt care about fashion at all.CShe hopes to be the same as others.DShe wants to look ugly as a model.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项26（30分）A young painter lived in a small house, livi

57、ng on painting portraits(画像). One day, a rich man came for a portrait. They agreed on the 1 of 10,000. The day the man came to take the painting, an 2 idea occurred to him: “Its me in the painting. If I dont buy, no one will 3 ” So he said, “Ill only pay3,000!” The young artist had never 4 such thin
