Welcoming the Year of the Dragon or the Loong
As communities worldwide, both within and outside China, participate in diverse festivities to welcome the Year of the Dragon, the mythical creature has become the subject of debate. Some call it a dragon, while others prefer the term “loong”, 31 a discussion about the most accurate translation of this symbol of traditional Chinese culture.
Do dragon and loong convey the same meaning, or do they represent different creatures with 32 connotations In Western culture, 33 by Greek mythology, the dragon is frequently portrayed as the guardian of treasure, embodying a symbol of greed and destruction. In China, however, the dragon is very positive. It’s an animal that helps humanity and that is 34 , with emperors often referring to themselves as the “true dragon sons of heaven”.
In the Chinese language, more than 100 idioms incorporate the word “dragon”, 35 conveying positive connotations such as excellence, prestige, royalty, 36 and good luck. The term “dragon” remains a pervasive and 37 element in everyday conversations. When people express admiration for a son-in-law, they often refer to him as “a swift son-in-law who rides the dragon”. During weddings, the groom is usually referred to as the dragon and the bride the phoenix.
Why has the loong been translated into English as dragon In the early 19th century, British missionary Robert Morrison compiled the first Chinese-English, English-Chinese dictionary in history, in which he translated the Chinese loong as dragon. The impact of this dictionary was profound, leading to the widespread adoption of the term dragon in the West. Language 38 influences human minds, and as a result, Westerners perceive it intriguing that the Chinese associate themselves with the concept of dragons. In their culture, dragons are symbols of malevolence, contributing to a cultural distortion and misinterpretation.
With China becoming more 39 into the global community and the world becoming more familiar with the Chinese zodiac sign, has the time come to translate the Chinese dragon to loong The issue of translation may seem trivial. What matters more is conveying the true essence of the zodiac dragon. The Chinese people place great importance on welcoming people globally to immerse themselves in the Year of the Dragon’s celebratory spirit and share in the Spring Festival’s joy, warmth and 40 .
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.
AI, or deep learning, takes in massive amounts of data from a single domain and automatically learns from the data to make specific decisions within that domain. It can automatically optimize (优化) human-given goals with 41 memory and superhuman accuracy.
The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting, but the rise of AI also brings many 42 . It’s worth taking time to sort between the genuine risks of this coming technological revolution and the 43 that sometimes surround the topic.
First, let’s talk about job displacement. Because AI can 44 humans at routine tasks, it is technically capable of displacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.
But not every job will be replaced by AI. 45 , four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a 46 to optimize. It cannot 47 as scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs go well beyond the AI 48 of single domain and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI. Are you worried that these three types of jobs won’t employ as many people as AI will replace Not to worry, as the fourth type is much 49 : empathetic and compassionate jobs, such as teachers, nannies and doctors, which AI is not capable of. So there will still be jobs in the age of AI.
As well as job displacement, AI has the potential to 50 inequality - both between the super wealthy and the displaced workers and also among countries. Poorer and smaller countries will be unable to reap the economic rewards that will come with AI and less well placed to 51 job displacement.
The technology also poses serious challenges in terms of 52 . The consequences of hacking into AI - controlled systems could be severe.
Finally, there are the issues of privacy, worsened prejudices and manipulation (操纵). Sadly we’ve already seen 53 on this front. Facebook couldn’t resist the temptation to use AI technology to optimize usage and profit, at the expense of user privacy and increasing prejudices and division.
All of these risks require governments, businesses and technologists to 54 to develop a new rule book for AI applications. And rather than compare against one another countries must share best practices and work together to ensure this technology is used for the 55 of all.

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)
When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
56. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs
A. He was fond of traveling. B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He longed to be a doctor. D. He had an inquiring mind.
57. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks
A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To test the eco-machine. D. To protect the plants.
58. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou
A. To review John’s research plans. B. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
C. To compare John’s different jobs. D. To show an application of John’s idea.
59. What is the basis for John’s work
A. Organisms need water to survive. B. Nature can repair itself.
C. Life on Earth is diverse. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.
(B)
We should all have at least one fire extinguisher somewhere in our home, but it’s not enough to simply keep one under the kitchen sink. If there is a fire, your safety — and the safety of your home — depends on knowing how to use that fire extinguisher correctly. In case your fire extinguisher has been sitting around collecting dust, here’s everything you need to know before brushing it off and fighting a fire in your home the right way.
Choose the right fire extinguisher
The first thing you need to know is the different classifications of fires. Most household fires fall into one of the following categories:
Class A: Fires fueled by solid combustibles like wood, paper, and cloth.
Class B: Fires fueled by flammable liquids such as oil and gasoline.
Class C: Fires started or fueled by faulty wiring and appliances.
Class D: Fires started or fueled by cooking oils, animal fats, and vegetable fats.
All fire extinguishers are labeled to indicate which classes of fire they are designed to combat. Most household fire extinguishers are considered multipurpose and labeled for use in A, B, and C classes. Class K extinguishers are heavier duty and will need to be bought separately. Household fire extinguishers are also rated for the size of fire that they can safely handle. The higher the rating, the larger the fire the extinguisher can put out. Higher-rated extinguishers are often heavier.
Steps for proper extinguisher use
Once you understand the different types of fire extinguishers and their uses, you need to be able to properly operate one.
Step 1: Identify a clear exit/escape route
Before operating the fire extinguisher, make sure you have a clear evacuation path. If you cannot put out the fire, you’ll need to make a safe exit. Also, make sure everyone else is being evacuated from the building.
Step 2: Call the fire department
Even if the fire appears manageable, you should always have the fire department on the way. Once firefighters arrive, they can double-check whether the fire has been completely extinguished.
Step 3: Stand back
Face the fire and keep your back to the clear exit. You should stay between 1.8 and 2.5 meters away from the flames as you prepare to operate the fire extinguisher.
Step 4: Operate the extinguisher
It can be difficult to think clearly during an emergency. Thankfully, there is a long-standing acronym (首字母缩略词)— PASS — to help you recall the steps involved in operating your fire extinguisher.
P: Pull the pin (保险销) on the fire extinguisher.
A: Aim low. Point the nozzle at the base of the fire instead of the flames.
S: Squeeze the handle or lever to discharge the extinguisher.
S: Sweep the nozzle back and forth until the flames are extinguished.
Step 5: Keep an eye on things
After the flames appear to be out, continue to watch the fire area to make sure it doesn’t reignite. If the fire does start up again, repeat the “PASS” process.
Step 6: Get to a safe place
Once the fire is out, or if you are unable to put it out, leave the scene. Find a place out of reach of the fire.
60. According to the passage, what is the top priority in a fire emergency
A. Operate a fire extinguisher. B. Find out how to escape.
C. Call the fire department. D. Escape and leave everything behind.
61. The following pictures show the four steps of the “PASS” process. According to the passage, what is their correct order
A. ③②④① B. ④③①②
C. ③④①② D. ④②③①
62. According to the passage, after a fire appears to have been extinguished, we should _________.
A. inspect the fire area carefully B. repeat the “PASS” process
C. leave the fire area at once D. have the fire department on the way
(C)
Journal editors decide what gets published and what doesn’t, affecting the careers of other academics and influencing the direction that a field takes. You’d hope, then, that journals would do everything they can to establish a diverse editorial board, reflecting a variety of voices, experiences, and identities.
Unfortunately a new study in Nature Neuroscience makes for disheartening reading. The team finds that the majority of editors in top psychology and neuroscience journals are male and based in the United States: a situation that may be amplifying existing gender inequalities in the field and influencing the kind of research that gets published.
Men were found to account for 60% of the editors of psychology journals. There were significantly more male than female editors at each level of seniority, and men made up the majority of editors in over three quarters of the journals. Crucially, the proportion of female editors was significantly lower than the overall proportion of women psychology researchers.
The differences were even starker in the neuroscience journals: 70% of editors were male, and men held the majority of editorial positions in 88% of journals. In this case, the proportion of female editors was not significantly lower than the proportion of female researchers working in neuroscience—a finding that reveals enduring gender disparities in the field more broadly.
Based on their results, the team concludes that “the ideas, values and decision-making biases of men are overrepresented in the editorial positions of the most recognized academic journals in psychology and neuroscience.”
Gender inequality in science is often attributed to the fact that senior academics are more likely to be male, because historically science was male-dominated: it’s argued that as time goes on and more women rise to senior roles, the field will become more equal. Yet this study showed that even the junior roles in psychology journals tended to be held disproportionately by men, despite the fact that there are actually more female than male junior psychology faculty.
This implies that a lack of female academics is not the problem. Instead, there are structural reasons that women are disadvantaged in science. Women receive lower salaries and face greater childcare demands, for instance, which can result in fewer publications and grants—the kinds of things that journals look for when deciding who to appoint. Rather than simply blaming the inequality of editorial boards on tradition, we should be actively breaking down these existing barriers.
A lack of diversity among journal editors also likely contributes to psychology’s WEIRD problem. If journal editors are largely men from the United States, then they will probably place higher value on papers that are relevant to Western, male populations, whether consciously or not.
63. What would we expect an editorial board of an academic journal to exhibit in view of its important responsibilities
A. Insight B. Diversity
C. Expertise D. Integrity
64. What do we learn from the findings of a new study in Nature Neuroscience
A. The majority of top psychology and neuroscience journals reflect a variety of voices, experiences and identities.
B. The editorial boards of most psychology and neuroscience journals do influence the direction their field takes.
C. The majority of editors in top psychology and neuroscience journals have relevant backgrounds.
D. The editorial boards of the most important journals in psychology and neuroscience are male-dominated.
65. What can we infer from the conclusion drawn by the team of the new study on the basis of their findings
A. Male researchers have enough representation in the editorial boards to ensure their publications.
B. Male editors of top psychology and neuroscience journals tend to be biased against their female
colleagues.
C. Women’s views are underrepresented in the editorial boards of top psychology and neuroscience journals.
D. Female editors have to struggle to get women’s research articles published in academic journals.
66. What does the author suggest we do instead of simply blaming the inequality of editorial boards on tradition
A. Strike a balance between male and female editors B. Implement overall structural reforms
C. Increase women's employment in senior positions D. Enlarge the body of female academics
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A.The foot is red and swollen, pounding like a heart. B.The tubercular’s hollow cheeks were considered desirable look for women. C.We might dismiss gout as a ghost from a fable, which it was. D.If you are a gout sufferer, you are not alone. E.Nor is it any longer exclusive to rich white men. F.No one knows what’s behind the phenomenon.
Gout (痛风): The Disease of Kings
Gout, once the disease of geniuses, conquerors and kings, now is affecting the masses. But comes at night, first as a fevered dream, then pain in darkness, the body turned rude animals. 67 So strong is the sensitivity of this swollen big toe that the faintest footstep of a sympathetic visitor is a gunshot straight to the nerve. It will not help, at such as moment, to recall that Alexander the Great, Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton reportedly suffered.
68 In the words of the 17th-century French poet, Gout falls onto a poor man and then, horrified by her host’s ceaseless labor, did nothing in a building. Surely it’s a time of a less enlightened, more hierarchical (等级制的) age. We can laugh at from the safe distance of the present day. But the American critic Susan Sontag warned us against illness as myth. Gout is not a punishment, certainly not an embarrassment and, it is highly curable, if good treatment is followed. And the disease has not been limited to the past. 69 From the 1960s to the 1990s, the number of sufferers doubled in the United States, and that’s continued to rise.
It is tempting to see gout as an annoying angel and come to punish greed. Mentioning the romantic aspect of tuberculosis (肺结核) in the 19th century, Sontag argued that gout was contrary to tubercular. The gout-ridden were guilty of eating too much, while those dying of tubercular were themselves consumed from the inside. During that period, turning thinner from tubercular was taken as a sign of elegance, with poets considered unreliable if they weighed more than a hundred pounds, and so “it became rude to eat heartily”. Sontag also highlighted a strange social phenomenon. 70 Great men “grew fat, wrote novels and conquered continents”.
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. How to Be a Successful Team Leader
Every well-organized team needs to have an outstanding leader with specific skills. Sometimes the leader’s abilities can come to affect the whole team. Although we students are still young, it’s never too early to cultivate leadership skills.
A team consists of both leaders and followers. Neither side can exist and work effectively without the other. What is essential to the role of leader is the ability to unite the whole team. A great leader enables their team to achieve a common goal through the giving of clear directions and support. Meanwhile, everyone on a team also desires personal success, so a balance can be hard to strike. If a leader doesn’t have fierce determination, the followers will lose their confidence and things will not be done well.
What’s more, a successful and charming leader ought to be able to handle interpersonal relationships well. They should be honest, fair, objective and impartial (公正的) when it comes to both rewards and punishments. These kinds of leaders are trustworthy, and thus, the working atmosphere will only come to be improved. They are role models who can have a strong influence on the whole team.
To become a powerful leader at school, students have to take the initiative in connecting with their fellow students. Good communication skills allow people to build good relationships, which is an essential part of being a good leader. If you find it hard to express your ideas clearly to those who you collaborate with, it may be rather difficult for you to be a good leader.
It’s a well-known fact that, whatever field you wish to work in, leadership skills are necessary for anyone who desires to have a successful career. So it’s never too early to train yourselves as promising future leaders.

A home energy checkup helps determine where your house is losing energy and money. When such problems are corrected your home will be more energy efficient. While a professional energy checkup provides a complete picture of your home’s energy use, a diligent self-assessment can also help you find small problem areas.
First, make a list of obvious air leaks. Check for indoor air leaks, such as gaps along the edge of the flooring and joints of the walls and ceiling. Also check the leaks on the outside of your home, especially in areas where two different building materials meet. Finally remember to check other places for leaks including windows, doors and switches.
The potential energy savings from reducing leaks in our own may range from 10% to 20% per year. This do-it-yourself home energy checkup will not be as thorough as a professional home energy assessment, but it can help you highlight some of the easier areas to address. When walking through your home, keep a checklist of the areas you have inspected and the problems you have found. This list will help you decide which energy efficiency upgrade should be given priority to.
Questions:
11. Which of the following is the most probable way to save energy in a house
12. Why does the speaker recommend you to keep a check list
13. What is the speaker mainly talking about
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Seamus Heaney was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature in 1995 when he was teaching at Harvard University. On the day when Harvard celebrated its three hundred seventy-fifth anniversary before a large audience, he recited his poem composed in 1986 for the university three hundred and fiftieth anniversary. This 1986 poem relies on the power of repeating words and sounds. Heaney said in an interview, “There’s a kind of bell ringing quality to the poem, which makes it easy on the air.” He remembered writing just two poems during his early years at Harvard when he taught and read a lot. One poem is the anniversary poem. And the other is about learning the alphabets at a primary school. Heaney also recalled the physical Harvard where he had many happy moments. He said, “I still remember the excitement of driving around the campus and seeing the outlines of the houses. And I enjoyed a few quiet corners on campus where I would sit down and take a nap. The library at Adam’s house for one and the Woodbury poetry room for another. Then there was the yard. It was the inspiration for the anniversary poem and also a place that reminded me of my own boyhood in the countryside because it used to be a cow yard.”
