21.A。根据“The University of Hong Kong(HKU)”中的“Popular majors include business，engineering，law,and medicine”
可知，“business，engineering, law, and medicine”是该校的热门专业,即更受青睐的专业。故选 A。
22.B。细节理解题。根据“The University of Macau(UM)”中的“UM offers scholarships only for local students”可知,该
大学不为国际生提供奖学金。故选 B。
23.A。每个大学的录取要求中都有语言这一项。故选 A。
24.C。根据 Para2“ Carey had 600 volunteer hours”和“So he searched for scholarships that looked for excellent grades
combined with leadership and community service”可知，Carey 有从事志愿者的经历，所以他搜索了能把学业成
绩跟领导力、社区服务（自身特长）结合在一起的奖学金，即将自己的长处跟奖学金的标准匹配，故选 C。
25.D。根据 Para4 “...,which inspired Carey, ..., to make a mobile-phone app called Scholly...to help other teens get
scholarship money”可知“Carey develop Scholly”是为了 facilitate scholarship application（为奖学金的申请提供便
利），故选 D。
26.B。根据最后一段“As for his career plans, he has the goal of a true enterprise: ‘I do not have to get a job when I
graduate.’”，可知他要自己创业，故选 B。
27.A。根据第二段的“In the process of his application, he was determined to deal with it by himself. He looked at
hundreds of websites, checking scholarship requirements. ”，第三段“...In the end, he had amazing success, receiving
34 scholarships worth $1.3 million—enough to pay for years of school, plus cover his living expenses with some
leftover to invest.”第四段“..., which inspired Carey, ..., to make a mobile-phone app”，和第五段“As for his career
plans, he has the goal of a true enterprise”表明他的雄心（ambitious）；/第五段“Though the app had thousands of
downloads, Carey and his colleagues decided to keep the price only at 99 cents because their purpose was more
public service than profit”他更在乎公共服务而不是利润，可见他的大方（generous）。

serious picture of the future.”及全文可知。
29.D。根据第一段中的“is seriously short of”中的用词 seriously 可知。
30.C。根据第三段中关键句“There's also the fact that a warmer climate will have a long-lasting impact on the region's
ecosystem.”可知。
31.C。根据第二段中的“Based on the price of adding reservoir(水库)capacities in California，meeting basic water
shortages could cost $ 549 billion if climate change is factored in. Higher water prices would make the adaptation
even more expensive if no water could be found at all in the drier future.”可知 A 正确 ;根据第二段中 “global
warming could increase the long-term water shortfall to the 1,815 billion cubic metres by adding another439 million
cubic metres of water”可知 B 正确;根据第三段中“Previous study has noted that climate change may convert the
American Southwest into a permanent desert.”可知 D 正确;文章中并未提到人口是缺水的主要因素,可知 C 错误。
32.B。根据第一段中的“Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computes and other kinds of
automatic machinery became widespread. For optimists, this was a promise of liberation:humanity would be freed
from constant toil, and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits. But others saw a threat: Millions of
people would be thrown out of work,and desperate masses would roam the streets. Looking back from 50 years
hence，the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode. The dispute was never resolved. (几乎
每个人都同意,一旦计算机和其他种类的自动化机器普及,人们的工作量就会减少。对于乐观主义者来说,这是
一种解放的承诺:最终,人类将从不断的劳动中解放出来,我们都可以把我们的时间投入到更精致的追求中去。
但其他人看到了一个威胁:数百万人将失去工作,绝望的群众将漫步街头。从 50 年前开始回顾,围绕自动化的争
论似乎是一个古怪而奇怪的插曲。争端从未得到解决。)”可知,自从自动化产生,人们对于其孰优孰劣的争论一
直持续不断。由此可知,本段主要想表达的内容是自动化的问题仍在讨论中。故选 B。

{#{QQABDYaUggCgABIAABhCAQUKCAAQkBGACAoGRAAIoAABwRNABAA=}#}
33.C。根据第二段中“Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of
overturning our social order. Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient-and thus more valuable-
automation threatens to make them superfluous——and thus without value.(自动化不仅是一种新型的机械化,而
且是一种能够颠覆社会秩序的革命力量。机械化使工人更有效率,因而更有价值,而自动化则使他们变得多余,
因而没有价值。)”可推知,根据 A.J. Hayes 的说法,自动化是一个可能导致人们失去价值的革命性力量。故选 C。
34.D。根据倒数第二段中“So far，automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the
opportunity to work. Instead, we're working more than ever.(到目前为止，自动化既没有把我们从工作的需要中解
放出来,也没有剥夺我们工作的机会。相反,我们比以往任何时候都更加努力。)”可推知选 D。
35.B。根据最后一段中“Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than replacing the lab technician, but
when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity, I think we'll just have to welcome it as a companion in
zealous research.(取代科学家可能会比取代实验室技术员更难一些,但当一台机器表现出足够的好奇心和韧劲
时,我认为我们只能欢迎它作为热情研究的伙伴。)”可推知,在发展中应合理接受自动化。故选 B。
[语篇导读]本文是一篇说明文,主要说明“conscious living”(有意识的生活)是一种健康的选择，以及该如何实现
“conscious living”的方法。
36.E。根据前文“Conscious living ...It is not just a trend.”中的“not just”,可推断“它还应是...”的思路，再根据本段最后
一句“Here are some ways you can achieve this goal”说明 It 应该是对你有好处的事情，E 的表述符合条件。同时，
两个 It 指代的都是“conscious living”，所以本题也考查了代词的指代。故选 E。
37.G。根据标题和后文“If you waste your precious hours doing negative things, you will regret it later.”的逻辑关系，
推断出“If...later”其实是举例，故此题应为这个例子的概括，即你怎么度过时间决定着你的一生，故选 G。
38.B。此处为小标题，根据“You cannot achieve them unless you understand your needs and intentions.”，强调
“understand your needs and intentions”。推知 B 符合此小标题的选项，故选 B。
39.D。根据标题“Learn to be grateful.”及后文“It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset.”，此题应谈感恩的
好处;另外本题还考查了 be grateful 与 gratitude 的同义复现,故选 D。
40.F。考查同义复现。小标题的“Believe in yourself”跟 G 选项中的“self-belief”是同一回事，再看下 G 选项的内容，
是有关如何做到相信自己，符合题意，故选 F。

express our sincere gratitude to you for your kindness and generosity.

and wonderful field trips.But for your help, we wouldn't have had such an eye-opening experience.Not only have we
improved our culture awareness, but also we have developed friendship.
So my dear friends, I want to tell you that this is just the beginning of our friendship. We believe that it will
continue to flourish in the future. Thank you!
第二节读后续写
She knew it would be a difficult journey, but she wanted to share the gold with everyone . She wanted to ignite the
sparks of curiosity and imagination in her peers. Making this her mission, Hannah started telling tales every day at her
cottage. She added her own touch of curiosity every now and then to different stories, making them more interesting.
In the beginning only her very good friends and her family came to the readings. But the words of her famous tales
spread rapidly causing more and more people to come to the readings.
Soon, the words of Hannah's storytelling spread to far-off towns. People traveled from different places to just
listen to her stories. Everyone would gather around Hannah in awe as she told her stories. The old cottage was no
longer withering away as people from her own village helped her build the cottage again. And thus, the forgotten
treasure lying in the old cottage transformed into a world of infinite adventures, imagination and possibilities. Hannah's
passion and dedication blew life into the tales and her words breathed new life into countless souls.

M: Every day was different. Some were good; some were difficult. But all were good experience. It wasn't actually how

M: I'm in my final year at school now, and I need to do well to get to university, so it's not the best time for me to go

school bus.
M:Are you sure
W: Yes, otherwise we'll have to buy two extra tickets instead of one.
M: That makes sense. Well, I'll hold on another 15 minutes, but then I'll need to board.
W: Not a problem. I'll message my parents and ask them to pick you up from the airport.
M: That would be great. I've never been to Edinburgh before. I'm a little bit uneasy about it.
W: It will be fine. See you soon.

Time magazine is an American news magazine,with editions covering most of the rest of the world. It is the world's
biggest news magazine, with a readership of 20 million in North America and 25 million people around the world.
The first issue of Time magazine was first published by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce on March 3rd，1923. It was
designed as a magazine which would keep“busy men”up-to-date on the news. The entire magazine was aimed at men.
When the magazine started in 1923，there was just US$ 86,000 at the disposal of the editorial staff. By 1962， gross
revenue was at US $326 million. By 2003， the magazine was made up of a combination of reporting, photographs,
graphics and analysis that was intended to make the news as clear and informative as possible. This is how the
magazine stands now， under the managing editor.
There has been a number of special issues of Time magazine, most notably the annual issue which lists the 100
most influential people in the world. The same has been done for the list of the 100 best novels,100 best movies
and100 best TV shows of all time.

Carey made a great academic achievement in high school and looked forward to attending
Harvard and other top schools. But he could not afford the application fees, let alone school fees.
But with a passion for business, Carey dreamed of attending a college in the Northeast so he could
be close to New York City and other major business centers.
In the process of his application, he was determined to deal with it by himself. He looked at
hundreds of websites, checking scholarship requirements. Many scholarships had very specific
qualifications that he didn’t meet. But Carey had 600 volunteer hours and started a nonprofit
organization which organized volunteer opportunities for students when he was in high school. So
he searched for scholarships that looked for excellent grades combined with leadership and
community service.
Soon, he got the Gates Millennium Scholarship, which covers school fees from a bachelor's to a
doctor’s degree. A $20,000 scholarship from Coca-Cola followed. He also received a $20,000
Horatio Alger Scholarship and the $10,000 Axa Achievement Scholarship. And smaller awards just
kept coming. In the end, he had amazing success, receiving 34 scholarships worth $1.3
million—enough to pay for years of school, plus cover his living expenses with some leftover to
invest.
Carey has used the money for schooling, room and board, daily supplies, travel for interviews,
and other needs. After appearing at national conferences and in the media, hundreds of students and
parents have emailed and called for advice, which inspired Carey, now a business major at Drexel,
to make a mobile-phone app called Scholly—short for “scholarships”—to help other teens get
scholarship money.

{#{QQABDYaUggCgABIAABhCAQUKCAAQkBGACAoGRAAIoAABwRNABAA=}#}
Though the app had thousands of downloads, Carey and his colleagues decided to keep the
price only at 99 cents because their purpose was more public service than profit. As for his career
plans, he has the goal of a true enterprise: “I do not have to get a job when I graduate.”
24. What did Carey do when he applied for scholarships
A. He started a nonprofit organization. B. He took part in community service.
C. He matched his strengths with the criteria. D. He checked requirements with volunteers.
25. Why does Carey develop Scholly

It is well known that the American Southwest, naturally hot and dry, is seriously short of water.
A new study that reveals climate change is going to dry out the region even further is painting a
serious picture of the future.
According to the study, global warming could increase the long-term water shortfall to the 1,
815 billion cubic metres by adding another 439 million cubic metres of water. Based on the price of
adding reservoir（水 库）capacities in California, meeting basic water shortages could cost $ 549
billion if climate change is factored in. Higher water prices would make the adaptation even more
expensive if no water could be found at all in the drier future.
But even beyond the mere cost of creating more reservoirs, there's no denying the fact that a
hotter, drier Southwest will demand more and more energy for cooling. There's another fact that
climate change will make cities in states like Nevada and New Mexico far less sustainable than they
already are. There's also the fact that a warmer climate will have a long-lasting impact on the
region's ecosystem. Previous study has noted that climate change may convert the American
Southwest into a permanent desert.
It's certainly possible that it will be too expensive to build reservoirs for some suburbs and
communities and we could see an exodus（大批人同时离开）from the region; but that's almost
suitable to change, because communities pay for the extremely inefficient processes of pumping in
water from out of the states.
28. What is the passage mainly about
A. Climate Change Will Make Water Shortage Worser
B. American Southwest Is Short of Water
C. California Council Pays Attention to Water Shortages
D. Water Shortages Lead Experts to Predict Water Shortfall
29. What is the author's attitude towards the situation of the American Southwest
A.Indifferent B. Critical. C. Sympathetic. D. Worried.
30. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. The situations of Nevada and New Mexico are not bad yet.
B. People should cool the climate immediately.
C. There's a relationship between climate change and ecosystem.
D. The energy requirements needed for cooling will not make water shortage worse.

Automation is a widespread term. Nearly everyone agrees that people will be working less
once automatic machinery came in. For optimists, this is a promise of liberation: At last humanity
would be freed from constant toil, and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits. But
others see a threat: Millions of people would be thrown out of work, and desperate masses would
roam the streets. Looking back from 50 years hence, the controversy over automation seemed a
quaint and curious episode. The dispute is never resolved.
A. J. Hayes, a leader （and no relation to me）, wrote in 1964: Automation is not just a new
kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order. Whereas
mechanization made workers more efficient--and thus more valuable--automation threatens to make
them superfluous（过剩的） --and thus without value. The opinions I have cited here represent
extreme positions, and there are also many milder views. But I think it's fair to say that most early
students of automation, including both critics and enthusiasts, believe the new technology would
lead us into a world where people worked much less.
As for economic consequences, worries about unemployment have certainly not gone
away--not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country
alone. But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation, such as
competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system. In any case, the vision of a world
where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass.
The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in
some curious ways. In many cases, the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work
that people used to do. Instead we've dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the
machines, and we've learned to run them ourselves. These trends contradict almost all the
expectations of early writers on automation, both optimists and pessimists. So far, automation has
neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the opportunity to work. Instead,
we're working more than ever.
What about trades closer to my own vital interests Will science be automated Technology
already has a central role in many areas of research; for example, genome sequences could not be
read by traditional lab-bench methods. Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder
than replacing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity, I think
we'll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research. And if the scientist is elbowed
aside by an automaton, then surely the science writer can't hold out either. I'm ready for my 15-hour
workweek.
32. What does the writer mainly want to convey in paragraph 1
A. automation results in unemployment on B. the issue of automation is still in discussion
C.automation does more harm than good D. automation brings in much convenience in life
33. According to A. J. Hayes, we can infer ____.
A. automation is more valuable than what we imagine
B. the disadvantages of automation far outweigh the advantages
C.automation is a revolutionary force may causing people worthless.
D. the new technology would lead people into working much less

Conscious living means you’re going through life with a heightened level of awareness.It is
not just a trend. 36 It is about being intentional with everything you do—your words, actions,
beliefs, habits, and choices. Accepting conscious living takes some effort, but it is worthwhile. Here
are some ways you can achieve this goal.

配)it for positive activities.
●38

than done because most people fail to make an effort to know themselves. Spend time thinking over
and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know yourself better, you can create a plan
to work towards becoming more patient, honest, and forgiving.
●Learn to be grateful.
39 . It opens you up to a happier and a fulfilled mindset. Most people are unhappy because
they see only the negatives in life. However, everyone has something to be grateful for. Writing a
gratitude journal is a good start for counting your blessings.Pick it as a daily habit, and you will
notice the difference.
●Believe in yourself.
It is the key to making the right choices, yet not regretting the wrong ones.40 Spending time
alone and thinking deeply are effective measures that enable you to identify the inner voice. Care
for it and follow it to make it stronger down the line.
Conscious living is a skill you need to learn as you go, so be willing to make the effort and
master it. You will absorb it soon and be a happier person in the long run.

B. Know yourself better.
C. Life can be a lot better with the right decisions.

The Forgotten Books
Long Long ago,there was a small village in a land far away.Surrounded by the majestic(雄伟
的) mountains, the villagers happily lived a life of bliss（幸福）.
All of them were used to their robotic daily tasks and none of them had the imagination or the
will to try something new, except for one girl named Hannah. Very few people in the village could
read let alone write, and Hannah was one of them. Her parents had made sure that their only child
got everything possible.
Hannah was an adventurous spirit with an imagination far beyond her time. One afternoon,
when Hannah was on one of her adventurous quests, she came upon an abandoned cottage. The
cottage looked very old in its condition. Even though Hannah's mother had strictly warned her not
to go wandering in abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her.
She tip-toed slowly to the door and slowly opened it and she was left stunned. In front of
Hannah was a room full of books! Books glistering in the dust, basking（沐浴）in the warm sunlight
just waiting to be explored. Hannah gasped（倒吸气）as she realized that she had found a hidden
treasure. Hannah broomed and dusted all day long until she realized it was dark and she had to go
back. So Hannah picked two books and decided to read them at her home.
She went home and all night long, she read the adventurous tales hidden in the book cover.
The next day, she quickly gulped（吞咽）her breakfast and made her way to the cottage again.
Hannah devoured（津津有味地读 ）the books.
They were too interesting filled with stories about different creatures. Each page was just an
adventure waiting to be embarked on. Hannah's imagination took her to a world of talking animals,
mystical creatures, and daring nights. The little girl was so inspired by the books and she learned
the power of love and friendship! With the good in heart, she decided to share the tales with the
people of her village.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She knew it would be a difficult journey, but she wanted to share the good with everyone.
