Why we should record travel moments
Throughout my travels, I have come in search of a sound, not a sight.
Just as some travellers take photos of landscapes or their food, I started collecting sound recordings as an unusual and artistic way to help me remember some of the most stimulating details of my trips. I’ve found that (21) _________ (listen) back to these recordings, I’m able to recall each place and moment in a different way than I can by scrolling through images. It turns out that this may be (22) _________ our brains remember sound differently than other types of senses.
According to Dr James Giordano, a professor at Georgetown University Medical Center, our brains process information and turn it into memories by receiving it (23) _________ our senses, encoding it and storing it – much like a computer. When we receive information and encode it, it is fairly short-term in nature; but when (24) _________ (store), it becomes long-term memory. The information we receive and process with our ears (25) _________ (call) echoic memory (回声记忆). “Think of the brain as a space and time machine. It allows us (26) _________ (transport) ourselves back and forward in time, across spaces,” Giordano said. “Echoic memory is exactly as the name would imply: it is, in fact, an echo of something that (27) _________ (occur).”
According to a study at the University of Iowa named In one ear and out the other, a group of students participated in two experiments in (28) _________ they listened to sounds, looked at images and held objects. In the first experiment, students were asked to recall (29) _________ various stimuli (刺激物) were the same or different after a set period of time. In the second, they were asked to recall the sounds, images and objects after an hour, a day and then a week. In (30) _________ of the instances, students’ recollection of sound was far worse than their visual memories, and the longer the time passed by, the greater the gap became.
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Stonehenge
Stonehenge in southern England ranks the world’s most symbolic archaeological (考古的) sites and one of its greatest mysteries. The huge stone circle on Salisbury Plain inspires 31 and fascination—but also intense debate some 4,600 years after it was built by ancient Britons who left no written record.
The monument’s mysterious past has 32 countless tales and theories. According to folklore, Stonehenge was created by Merlin, who magically transported the 33 stones from Ireland, where giants had put them up. Another legend says the armies from Denmark put the stones up, and another theory says they were the ruins of a Roman temple.
Modern debate over the monument’s meaning has two main camps: those who see it as a religious site, and others who believe it represents a scientific observatory and also a kind of 34 computer used for working out dates. Both camps base their theories on the site’s 35 influence. The position of the stones 36 to the sun and moon is taken as evidence of rituals linked to the changing seasons and the summer and winter solstices (冬至和夏至).
Competing to solve the 37 prehistoric puzzle is Sheffield University’s Mike Parker Pearson, co-leader of the Stonehenge Riverside Project, which is partly funded by the National Geographic Society. Discoveries by the project team supported the claim that Stonehenge was a center for religious activities linked by the River Avon and two ceremonial avenues to a matching wooden circle at nearby Durrington Walls. The two circles with their temporary and permanent structures 38 , respectively, the living and the dead, according to Parker Pearson.
“Stonehenge isn’t a monument in 39 ,” he says. “It is actually one of a pair—one in stone, one in wood. The theory is that Stonehenge is a kind of 40 home to the ancestors.”
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 that best fits the context.
Food-delivery firms are coming of age. Among teens and millennials, ordering food online is as 41 a habit as booking a room online. Just how 42 consumers are is clear from financial documents by DoorDash, America’s biggest food-delivery company. From January to September that year, it booked orders worth $16 billion, up by 198% year on year.
The majority of America’s 700,000 or so eateries now 43 by means of a delivery app. Modern life makes people rely more on convenience food, as more women work and everybody is 44 time. In doing so, it has also changed one of Silicon Valley’s most criticized business models.
Restaurants entered the digital world two decades ago when Takeaway.com in Europe and Grubhub in America put menus 45 . Restaurants delivered the food themselves and the middlemen were reliably profitable. 46 , the new “third-party logistics” firms like DoorDash and Uber Eats have to share the bills, which average around $30, three ways. Once drivers and restaurants take their 47 , not much is left.
Until recently none of these startup firms made 48 , even in emerging markets where labour costs are far lower. Lack of obvious economies of scale or barriers to entry meant several competitors were fighting over market share by offering diners 49 discounts—and bleeding red ink in the process. They also faced the prospect of a sharp 50 in labour costs, as California passed a law that required companies to treat app-based workers as full employees.
51 , the American firm’s numbers contained plenty to chew on. DoorDash is generating cash and is profitable on an adjusted basis. Its in-app ads business offers juicy margins. The company sees itself as the digital hub for the convenience economy, connecting merchants, customers and riders; the word “platform” arose 646 times in its filing. It has even started delivering groceries and convenience-store items and selling last-mile 52 to other companies. Looking ahead, high unemployment amid a continuing economic downturn should mean lots of cheap labour.
Other facts are 53 to swallow. DoorDash warns that growth will slow as more people are going back to work after the virus declined. The share prices of many listed digital firms that benefited from lockdowns and self-isolating consumers 54 on the news of an effective vaccine (疫苗). And despite their critics’ defeat in California, gig firms (招临工的公司) will continue to face accusations of 55 their workers. In this respect, DoorDash has already joined the club of listed tech platforms.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. 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.
(A)
Growing up, I understood one thing about my dad: He knew everything. This was our relationship, in sum: I asked him questions and he told me the answers. When I moved out on my own, I called him at least once a week, usually when something broke in my apartment and I needed to know how to fix it: the toilet, the air-conditioning…
But then, eventually, I needed him less. I got married, and my husband had most of the knowledge I lacked about water heaters and nondestructive insect removal. For everything else, we had the Internet. I don’t know when it happened, but our conversations when I called declined to six words. Me: “Hi, Dad.” Him: “Hi, sweets. Here’s Mom.” I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already shared everything I needed to know.
Then, this past summer, my husband, our four kids, and I moved in with my parents for three weeks while our house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead at their dock (码头的舱壁). It was hard labor. But as we put the new bulkhead together piece by piece, my dad knowing exactly what went where, I looked at him. “How do you know how to build a bulkhead ”
The heavy mallet (木槌) he was swinging paused in midair. “I spent a summer in college building them on the Jersey Shore.” “You did ” I thought I knew everything about my dad—all his random jobs. I knew about the apple farm, the summer at the hot sauce manufacturing plant, and even the diner line-cook position, where he learned how to make the best omelet in the world. But I never knew this.
“Yep. Now let me teach you how to use this saw.”
As he explained the importance of not bending too low, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the wrong questions.
A few weeks later, after my family and I moved back into our renovated house, I called my parents. Dad answered. “Hi, sweets,” he said. “Here’s Mom.” “Wait, Dad,” I said. “How are you ” We ended up talking about the consulting job he was working on, a new battery he’d bought for his sailboat, a refinance my husband and I were looking into to relieve our home loan. Nothing life-changing. To anyone else, it would sound like a normal conversation between a dad and his daughter.
But to me, it was novel. A new beginning. I spent the first part of my life needing to talk to my dad. Now I talk to him because I want to.
56. Why did the author’s conversations with her dad become shorter over time
A. She got married and didn’t have time to talk.
B. Her dad became less talkative as he got older.
C. She realized that her dad didn’t know everything.
D. She felt that she needed less help from her father.
57. What did the author find while living with her parents this past summer
A. Her father was quite talkative.
B. Her father was keen on making things by himself.
C. She didn’t know as much about her father as she had thought.
D. She didn’t notice her father was aged and needed her assistance.
58. Why did the author call her dad after she moved back into her renovated house
A. To learn more about her father’s past experiences.
B. To catch up and try to have a normal conversation.
C. To ask for help with more household repairing tips.
D. To thank him for letting her and her family stay with him.
59. Which of the following is the best title for this passage
A. DIY with my dad: Learning to be independent
B. From fixing toilets to building bulkheads: Changing my lifestyle
C. Reconnecting with my father: A lesson in asking the right questions
D. Lessons in self-sufficiency: How Google replaced my dad’s knowledge
(B)
The term “seal” is often used to refer to both seals and sea lions, but there are several characteristics that set seals and sea lions apart.
Seals and sea lions are both in the order Carnivora and suborder Pinnipedia, thus they are called “pinnipeds.” Pinnipeds are mammals that are well-adapted for swimming. They usually have a streamlined barrel shape (桶形) and four flippers at the end of each limb (四肢). They also give birth to live young and nurse their young. Pinnipeds are protected by a thick layer of fat under their skin and fur to keep them warm in water. There are three families of pinnipeds: the Phocidae, the earless or true seals; the Otariidae, the eared seals, and the Odobenidae, the walruses.
Characteristics of Phocidae (Earless or True Seals)
Earless seals have no visible ear flaps, although they still have ears, which may be visible as a dark spot or small hole on the side of their head.
“True” seals:
Have no external ear flaps.
Swim with their hind flippers. Their hind flippers always face backward and are furred.
Have front flippers that are short, furry and thick in appearance.
Can be found in both marine and freshwater environments.
Characteristics of Otariidae (Eared Seals, Including Fur Seals and Sea Lions)
One of the most noticeable features of eared seals is their ears, but they also move around differently than true seals.
Eared seals:
Have external ear flaps.
Are only found in marine environments.
Swim with their front flippers. Unlike earless seals, their hind flippers can turn forward, and they are able to walk, and even run, on their flippers. The “seals” you may see performing at marine parks are often sea lions.
May gather in larger groups than true seals. Sea lions are much more vocal than true seals, and make a variety of loud, barking noises.
Characteristics of Walruses
Wondering about walruses, and how they differ from seals and sea lions Walruses are pinnipeds, but they are in the family, Odobenidae. One obvious difference between walruses, seals and sea lions is that walruses are the only pinnipeds with tusks—a pair of long pointed teeth. These tusks are present in both males and females.
Other than tusks, walruses have some similarities to both seals and sea lions. Like true seals, walruses don’t have visible ear flaps. But, like eared seals, walruses can walk on their flippers by rotating their hind flippers under their body.
60. According to the passage, which of the following statements about pinnipeds is true
A. Pinnipeds are good swimmers.
B. Pinnipeds are afraid of cold weather.
C. Pinnipeds are of the Phocidae family.
D. Seals and sea lions are pinnipeds, while walruses are not.
61. One way to distinguish a sea lion and a true seal is that __________.
A. the sea lion cannot play ball B. the true seal cannot hear well
C. the sea lion doesn’t have ear flaps D. the true seal can’t walk with hind flippers
62. Which of the following picture best illustrates a walrus
A. B.
C. D.
(C)
The curb cut (下斜路缘). It’s a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.
But it was created with a different purpose in mind.
It’s hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps (斜坡) to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.
I think about the “curb cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equity (公平). The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity “as a zero-sum game.” Basically, that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another.” What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.”
There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society—and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle (围成一团以秘密商讨) was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. Today, it’s used by every team to shield the opponent from learning about game-winning strategies.
So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.
63. By “might as well have been Mount Everest” (paragraph 3), the disability rights leader implies that a six-inch curb may become __________.
A. as famous as the world’s highest mountain
B. an almost impassable barrier
C. a connection between people
D. a most unforgettable matter
64. According to Angela Blackwell, many people believe that __________.
A. it’s fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others
B. it’s impossible to have everyone be treated equally
C. it’s necessary to go all out to help the disabled
D. it’s not worthwhile to promote health equity
65. Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle
A. Spaceflight designs are applied to life on earth.
B. Four great inventions of China spread to the west.
C. Christopher Columbus discovered the new world.
D. Classic literature got translated into many languages.
66. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage
A. Everyday items are originally invented for people with disabilities.
B. Everyone in a society should pursue what is in his or her interest.
C. A disability rights leader changed the life of his fellow men.
D. Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all.
Section C
Directions: 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.
Although these are all animals that can act people-like, the presence of these cells does not mean that the animals have feelings. Anyone who claims to know what animals feel doesn’t have science on their side. In recent experiments, dogs have shown that they know to follow a human’s pointed finger to find a food treat. Many people think that empathy is a special emotion only humans show. Other experiments have cast doubt that animal behavior can reliably signify an underlying feeling. This illustrates the difficulty in accurately interpreting animal behavior as a marker of human-like feelings.
Do animals have feelings
People often assign feelings to animals. That zoo polar bear’s vacant stare must mean he’s sad. The uh-oh expression a dog flashes after knocking over the garbage indicates shame. But scientists haven’t determined whether these human-like expressions really mean anything. After all, it’s very difficult to read a dog’s mind.
Scientists believe that certain brain cells in humans called spindle cells (棱形细胞) are responsible for human social behavior and the interplay between thoughts and feelings. Studies have revealed that chimpanzee, dolphin and whale brains also possess spindle cells. 67
Even animals that don’t have spindle cells, such as dogs, have shown behaviors that can suggest a human-like social sense. 68 Scientists report that this shows dogs are sensitive to human social cues and are able to correctly interpret them. Still, this only proves that dogs know how to find food, not that they have feelings.
Observations of apes have also revealed behavior that appears to represent various human-like desires. In some tests, chimpanzees demonstrate what looks like altruism (利他主义) helping their own kind and even other species without the expectation of a reward.
69 In a recent study, a Barnard College researcher tested dogs to see if their guilty looks were linked to actual bad behavior. Dogs were tempted with a treat and told by their owners not to eat it. The dog’s owners weren’t allowed to see whether their pets had eaten the treat or not, but were told either that they did or that they didn’t, and were then instructed to scold the dogs that disobeyed. The experimenters noted that scolded dogs showed a guilty look whether or not they had actually done wrong.
70 A guilty look suggests a feeling of guilt in a human but not necessarily in a dog, according to the Barnard research. Similarly, even apparent empathy (共情) behavior might not actually mean these feelings are present in the brains of animals.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
71. Does Recycling Work For Plastic？
Dealing with plastic waste is always a tough problem. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), half of the world’s plastic waste ends up in a landfill, 19% burned, and another 22% escapes waste management systems and goes into uncontrolled dumpsites.
So environmentalists suggest plastic waste should be recycled properly, which proves an effective way to handle other waste like paper, cardboard, metal and glass. However, a new study by Greenpeace, and reporting in the Boston Globe, suggests that recycling plastic is a “myth” and raises a major question about the future: does recycling work Unfortunately, the short answer is “not really.”
There’s been a lot of debate over what really happens to recycled plastic. But scientists say that recycling plastic waste has mostly failed because it’s very difficult to collect and nearly impossible to sort. Because plastic is often made from harmful materials, it can be harmful to the environment to reprocess.
Much of the solution falls on big companies to change the way they do business. The way forward seems to be mostly to cut down on companies’ reliance on plastic packaging, and to move toward reusable packaging and packaging-free alternatives. Above all, companies need to phase out all single-use plastics. For the consumer, living more plastic-free is the only real solution available. Avoiding drinks in plastic containers, using a travel mug or reusable water bottle, bringing your own reusable bag, buying in bulk and cutting back on pre-packaged foods are all a good start.
But in the end, corporate America needs a deeper commitment to the plastic waste problem. “Companies must take action now to get rid of single-use plastics and packaging and not rely on false solutions such as recycling,” says Greenpeace.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Freeze-drying is a process where food is quickly frozen, and then the ice is turned into water steam and removed. Freeze-drying food requires special equipment, so people do not usually do this at home; instead they purchase such products from companies that specialize in this process.
Freeze-dried foods are used by astronauts, campers, backpackers, food manufacturers and the military. You can also purchase freeze-dried foods for home use, like freeze-dried fruit pieces in the supermarket. You can even find entire meals in freeze-dried form, as almost all foods can be freeze-dried.
The advantages of freeze-dried foods are quite obvious. Once the water is removed from foods, they become very light. This makes for easier portability of large amounts of food and cheaper transportation. What’s more, freeze-dried foods tend to keep most of their nutritional quality, taste, shape and size. They do not require refrigeration and can last for months or years.
The main disadvantage of freeze-dried foods is that they are quite expensive due to the specialized equipment needed for this process. Freeze-dried foods also take up almost as much space as fresh foods.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
A resourceful Japanese man has found his dream job – getting paid for “doing nothing.” Shoji Morimoto, 38, a former publishing company worker, charges about $71 for simply being there for lonely folks, with about 4000 bookings over the past four years – making enough money to support his wife and child.
According to the Tokyo resident, “Basically, I rent myself out. My job is to be wherever my clients want me to be and to do nothing in particular.” His tasks have included a job simply riding a seesaw with one client at a local park, and sitting at a restaurant with Aruna Chida, a 27-year-old data analyst, who feared her Indian-style dress would embarrass her friends if she wore it in public. “With my friends, I feel I have to entertain them,” Chida said of Morimoto’s service. “But with the rental guy, I don’t feel the need to be chatty.”
Morimoto said he first got the idea after being repeatedly scolded for doing nothing while holding down his more traditional publishing job. “I started wondering what would happen if I provided my ability to ‘do nothing’ as a service to clients,” he said. “People tend to think that my ‘doing nothing’ is valuable because it is useful to other people. But it’s fine to really not do anything. People do not have to be useful in any specific way,” he added.

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: John, you know I just found out that my parents are moving.
M: Wow, are you surprised
W: Well, not really. They have been trying to sell their house for 3 months to half a year now.
M: Oh, well, I thought they enjoyed it where they lived.
W: They do and they still love it. But they are getting older day by day. Dad intends to live in a smaller town. And mom says she just can’t wait to get rid of the fast city beats.
M: So where are they going to move
W: This is very hard to believe. They are going to Spain.
M: No, you are kidding.
W: No. I’m not. They are going to Valencia. It’s an amusing little town by the river with refreshing and quiet environment. That meets all their expectations.
M: Do your parents speak Spanish
W: No, but they say they are willing to learn.
M: That’s a big transformation to them. It sounds so challenging.
W: They have always wanted to live abroad. Now that they are retired, they finally get to do it. And my dad, he adores Spain. He’s been there a couple of times at least.
M: Sounds like this is going to be quite an exciting move. So, when exactly are they moving
W: In a few months of time. They have to pack up and take care of all of our family business. I’m going to help them with the move. I may even try to stay there for some time if I can swing the time.

概要写作：
While recycling plastic waste is recommended by environmentalists, the practice seems unworkable, as a new study suggests. Plastic waste is hard to gather and classify as its reprocessing may release something harmful. To address the problem, companies should be environmentally responsible by reducing their dependence on plastic packaging and consumers should adopt a plastic-free lifestyle.
