As the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Bad Blood” go: “Cause，baby，now we got bad blood.You know it used to be mad love.” It’s a song about falling out of friendship，but to 14-year-old Hallie Barnard，who was born with a rare blood disorder，the song holds a much deeper meaning.
At just 15 months old，Barnard was diagnosed (诊断) with Diamond Blackfan Anemia，or DBA，and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital.The Swiftie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy.
The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and Barnard was desperate for one.But she knew thousands of other patients are，too.So，a few years ago，she decided to do something about it，creating her own foundation: Hallie’s Heroes.“It started selfishly as just trying to save my life，but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant，” she said.“So，so far we’ve tested 8,000 people and found over 300 matches.”
After a 9-year wait，Barnard got her own match—through her own foundation.But more obstacles stood between her and normal life as a kid.The blood disorder led to a cancer diagnosis: osteosarcoma.She received surgery to cut the cancer out of her leg at MD Anderson in Houston.
The recovery was difficult，but Hallie said she stayed hopeful.“My survival instinct (本能) just kicked in.I was trying to do anything that I could to survive.So，of course，it was scary but in my mind，I was just thinking that I wanted to be at my sister’s future weddings.I wanted to play games and run again，” she said.
Her survival instinct—combined with Taylor Swift helped her through her operation，where doctors cut her cancer out，and reattached her foot and ankle to her upper leg to work as a knee.
24．Why does the author mention Taylor Swift’s song “Bad Blood”？
A．To stress the power of music.
B．To introduce the topic of the text.

C．To help other children with DBA.
D．To have an operation for her cancer.

Humans have a way of understanding others’ goals，desires and beliefs，a crucial skill that allows us to anticipate people’s actions.Taking bread out of the toaster You’ll need a plate.Sweeping up leaves You’ll grab the green trash can.This skill，often referred to as “theory of mind”，comes easily to us as humans，but for robots it still has a high mountain to conquer.
In a recent study，computer science researchers made the robot “watch” the human complete the task using a camera placed directly above the assembly(组装)area，looking down.To detect the parts operated by the human，the system used AprilTags，similar to QR codes，attached to the parts.Then，the system used machine learning to learn a person’s preference based on their orders of actions in the task.“Based on how a person performs the small assembly，the robot predicts what that person will do in the larger assembly，” said Nemlekar.“For example，if the robot sees that a person likes to start the small assembly with the easiest part，it will predict that they will start with the easiest part in the larger assembly as well.”
In the researchers’ user study，their system was able to predict the actions that humans will take with around 82% accuracy.“We hope that our research can make it easier for people to show robots what they prefer，” said Nemlekar.“By helping each person in their preferred way，robots can reduce their work，save time and even build trust with them.”This technology could also be useful in industrial settings where workers are tasked with assembling products in large numbers，saving time and reducing the risk of injury or accidents.Additionally，it could help persons with disabilities to more easily assemble products and maintain independence.
“Our goal is not to replace humans on the factory floor.I expect similar findings in other applications as well，” said Nikolaidis.“A robot that can quickly learn our preferences can help us prepare a meal，rearrange furniture or do house repairs，having a significant impact on our daily lives.”
28．What does the underlined part mean in paragraph 1
A．It’s refreshing.
B．It’s challenging.
C．It’s unachievable.
D．It’s ridiculous.
29．What did researchers want to “teach” robots to do in assembly tasks
A．To predict humans’ actions.
B．To get the tasks finished easily.
C．To think on their own.
D．To avoid human errors.
30．What can we learn about the robots from the last two paragraphs
A．They can replace humans.
B．They’ve been widely used.
C．They’ve improved their accuracy.
D．They can do good to the disabled.
31．Where can the text probably be found
A．In a lab guidebook.
B．In a computer textbook.
C．In a science newspaper.
D．In an academic paper.

Creative visualization is the process of generating visual mental imagery，with eyes open or closed.It means creating an image to your subconscious(潜意识的) mind.
Your subconscious mind creates your reality based on a number of messages you send to it.One of these messages is the pictures and images that you visualize and send to your subconscious mind.It then picks up this creative visualization or picture and begins creating what it sees.
The key to understanding how creative visualization works is to first understand that your subconscious mind does not know what is real and what is fiction.It simply creates your reality based on the image that you visualize.So if you visualize yourself struggling，poor，unhappy，single or depressed then this is the reality that your subconscious mind creates.
Visualizing properly and regularly can and will change your life.Some of the greatest athletes including Michael Jordan will tell you that they often visualize before playing.They create a movie of success in their minds before actually competing.Some of the most successful people will tell you that they always see their success ahead of time.Creative visualization is even being used to help patients with chronic(慢性的) illnesses fight their diseases.But just like positive thinking or any other technique on its own，creative visualization cannot create a complete change.It will have an impact but it won’t create all the changes you want in a short period of time.Besides，it is not just creating a movie in your mind on a regular basis.There is much more to it and you need to develop a certain technique in order to enjoy the full benefits.
Do you want to begin visualizing so you can create the things you want in life Then sign up for the 7-day e-course and get the full benefits.You’ll learn how to work with visualization and all the techniques that will create a lot of success.
32．How does our subconscious mind work
A．By taking pictures in reality.
B．By creating the wildest dreams.
C．By picking up visions in nature.
D．By processing the information it receives.
33．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The key to success.
B．The introduction to Jordan.
C．The benefits of visualization.
D．The importance of visualization.
34．What might the author agree with concerning visualization’s effect on chronic illnesses
A．It calls for special skills.
B．It creates a complete change.
C．It has an immediate impact.
D．It depends on regular practice.
35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To attract readers to a course.
B．To offer a novel treatment.
C．To explain a complex theory.
D．To introduce a research result.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every sentence we speak shows something about who we are as humans.Even people speaking the same language have distinct dialects. 36 Whether you say “soda” or “pop” may reveal what country and what region you are from.What you call the night before Halloween may tie to your religious beliefs.
37 Plants and animals that are given names in any language are generally those that are relevant to people speaking the language.The relevance comes from the way that the people have interacted with the animals and plants.In some cases，this has happened over centuries.
While we might think of language as having a fixed set of words and rules that we learn in school，in fact language is always evolving.New words emerge while others fall out of use.Pronunciation changes over time as does the meaning of words. 38
Our ability to learn language develops when we are young.Sounds heard as infants，or even in the womb，set the stage for language learning later.Baby cooing is the result of babies’ analysis of the languages spoken to them. 39 Children exposed to multiple languages early in life，and growing up multilingual，develop enhanced cognitive functions.These may include the ability to focus and ignore distractions.
Languages are as diverse as the communities that speak them.Each of the approximately 7,000 world languages is a testimony to a community’s unique human experience.Yet，many languages around the world are endangered.It is possible that as many as half of the world’s languages could go silent by the end of this century.Why？ 40 But they boil down to social inequalities and disrespect for others.
A．The reasons are complex.
B．Languages change with time.
C．These are rooted in their history and culture.
D．What kind of slang you use may come from the habits of place you grew up in.
E．Language also shows the connections between us and our natural environment.
F．Babies are practicing the pronunciation of sounds that they need for communication.
G．People also borrow words from languages other than their own to add to their own vocabulary.

In fact，the story is much 58. (complex)，according to findings that Dr.Wang，now an ecologist at Fudan University in Shanghai，published in Biological Conservation.Refuting (反驳) years of 59. (assume) about the universal benefits of panda conservation，Dr.Wang and his colleagues report that a number of other 60. (threaten) species are not being protected by the panda umbrella.
Panda conservation，on its own,61 (be) a success up to now.In the 1980s，pandas had very little protection in the wild and were thought to add up to around just 1,100 individuals.In the 1990s，China began to 62. (active) conserve wild populations.Eventually sixty-seven panda-specific protected areas 63. (represent) 70 percent of the species’ range were established.
All of those efforts focused simply not on other species,64. on China’s national animal.Dr.Wang began to question the umbrella species narrative and carried out research，only 65. (find) that panda conservation had not helped large carnivores in China.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Scott Legried was a 50-year-old farmer in Frost，Minnesota.One October morning，he was driving his truck along the country road when a dog popped up out of nowhere.It was too late to hit the brake.Scott had no choice but to turn the wheel sharply to the right to avoid running over the dog.
The dog had a lucky narrow escape，but Scott’s car crashed into the roadside cornfield.He got knocked out and when he came to，he found he was unable to move or even reach for his cellphone lying not far away.Scott was desperate for help.
Fortunately，a motorist driving through the area found Scott and called 911.Scott was rushed to hospital.Without delay，the doctors gave Scott a thorough examination and found that he suffered multiple serious injuries and needed to be operated on immediately.After a 5-hour surgery，Scott was wheeled to his ward，where the doctors told Scott’s wife Susan that it would take several months for Scott to recover before he could do farm work again.
It was really bad news.This was the busiest time of year for the farmers of the region.What the doctors said meant Scott would not be able to bring in their October harvest of soybeans and corn in time，which would probably be ruined in the fields.The crops were their hard work of so many days! They meant the world to the family.Besides，wheat should be sown after the soybeans and corn were harvested.They couldn’t afford to miss the farm time，but they could do nothing at all since Susan also had to stay in the hospital to accompany and take care of Scott.Feeling extremely anxious and helpless，the couple could hardly fall asleep on the first night in the hospital.
The bad news that Scott had a serious accident spread quickly.The whole community were deeply concerned about him.Frank，director of the community，and some other farmers came to the hospital to see Scott the next day.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
Frank comforted the couple and promised to help them out.
Two months later，Scott recovered and returned home.

M：Attention please! Now I will give you a brief introduction to the Winter Festival.It is a free event for all people to enjoy，and is organized by a team of volunteers.The first Winter Festival was introduced the year before last.Sadly due to a lack of money no festival was held last year.This year the government may provide $15,000 to the festival.They also persuaded the businessmen around the town to offer the rest $5,000.
There will be a free art exhibition on Friday 18，Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December in the Center Park of the town.The opening hours are from 10∶00 a．m.to 4∶00 p．m.，and there is an opening night only on Friday，from 7∶30 p．m.to 10∶00 p．m.Different from other exhibitions，this art exhibition is really a special one because the public will have the chance to watch the paintings which are from the town’s school.And all the paintings are created by the students.
It is great that the Festival is going to host a wonderful sound of music in the Main Exhibition Hall this year.This programme aims to show some of the musical talents that we have in town.Everyone watching the performance had better not wear formal clothes，but fancy dress.And in the programme，you will hear classical music，pop music，rock music and operas.

As the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s hit song “Bad Blood” go: “Cause，baby，now we got bad blood.You know it used to be mad love.” It’s a song about falling out of friendship，but to 14-year-old Hallie Barnard，who was born with a rare blood disorder，the song holds a much deeper meaning.
At just 15 months old，Barnard was diagnosed (诊断) with Diamond Blackfan Anemia，or DBA，and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital.The Swiftie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy.
The only way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and Barnard was desperate for one.But she knew thousands of other patients are，too.So，a few years ago，she decided to do something about it，creating her own foundation: Hallie’s Heroes.“It started selfishly as just trying to save my life，but then we realized there were so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant，” she said.“So，so far we’ve tested 8,000 people and found over 300 matches.”
After a 9-year wait，Barnard got her own match—through her own foundation.But more obstacles stood between her and normal life as a kid.The blood disorder led to a cancer diagnosis: osteosarcoma.She received surgery to cut the cancer out of her leg at MD Anderson in Houston.
The recovery was difficult，but Hallie said she stayed hopeful.“My survival instinct (本能) just kicked in.I was trying to do anything that I could to survive.So，of course，it was scary but in my mind，I was just thinking that I wanted to be at my sister’s future weddings.I wanted to play games and run again，” she said.
Her survival instinct—combined with Taylor Swift helped her through her operation，where doctors cut her cancer out，and reattached her foot and ankle to her upper leg to work as a knee.

Humans have a way of understanding others’ goals，desires and beliefs，a crucial skill that allows us to anticipate people’s actions.Taking bread out of the toaster You’ll need a plate.Sweeping up leaves You’ll grab the green trash can.This skill，often referred to as “theory of mind”，comes easily to us as humans，but for robots it still has a high mountain to conquer.
In a recent study，computer science researchers made the robot “watch” the human complete the task using a camera placed directly above the assembly(组装)area，looking down.To detect the parts operated by the human，the system used AprilTags，similar to QR codes，attached to the parts.Then，the system used machine learning to learn a person’s preference based on their orders of actions in the task.“Based on how a person performs the small assembly，the robot predicts what that person will do in the larger assembly，” said Nemlekar.“For example，if the robot sees that a person likes to start the small assembly with the easiest part，it will predict that they will start with the easiest part in the larger assembly as well.”
In the researchers’ user study，their system was able to predict the actions that humans will take with around 82% accuracy.“We hope that our research can make it easier for people to show robots what they prefer，” said Nemlekar.“By helping each person in their preferred way，robots can reduce their work，save time and even build trust with them.”This technology could also be useful in industrial settings where workers are tasked with assembling products in large numbers，saving time and reducing the risk of injury or accidents.Additionally，it could help persons with disabilities to more easily assemble products and maintain independence.
“Our goal is not to replace humans on the factory floor.I expect similar findings in other applications as well，” said Nikolaidis.“A robot that can quickly learn our preferences can help us prepare a meal，rearrange furniture or do house repairs，having a significant impact on our daily lives.”

Creative visualization is the process of generating visual mental imagery，with eyes open or closed.It means creating an image to your subconscious(潜意识的) mind.
Your subconscious mind creates your reality based on a number of messages you send to it.One of these messages is the pictures and images that you visualize and send to your subconscious mind.It then picks up this creative visualization or picture and begins creating what it sees.
The key to understanding how creative visualization works is to first understand that your subconscious mind does not know what is real and what is fiction.It simply creates your reality based on the image that you visualize.So if you visualize yourself struggling，poor，unhappy，single or depressed then this is the reality that your subconscious mind creates.
Visualizing properly and regularly can and will change your life.Some of the greatest athletes including Michael Jordan will tell you that they often visualize before playing.They create a movie of success in their minds before actually competing.Some of the most successful people will tell you that they always see their success ahead of time.Creative visualization is even being used to help patients with chronic(慢性的) illnesses fight their diseases.But just like positive thinking or any other technique on its own，creative visualization cannot create a complete change.It will have an impact but it won’t create all the changes you want in a short period of time.Besides，it is not just creating a movie in your mind on a regular basis.There is much more to it and you need to develop a certain technique in order to enjoy the full benefits.
Do you want to begin visualizing so you can create the things you want in life Then sign up for the 7-day e-course and get the full benefits.You’ll learn how to work with visualization and all the techniques that will create a lot of success.

第二节　(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every sentence we speak shows something about who we are as humans.Even people speaking the same language have distinct dialects. 36 Whether you say “soda” or “pop” may reveal what country and what region you are from.What you call the night before Halloween may tie to your religious beliefs.
37 Plants and animals that are given names in any language are generally those that are relevant to people speaking the language.The relevance comes from the way that the people have interacted with the animals and plants.In some cases，this has happened over centuries.
While we might think of language as having a fixed set of words and rules that we learn in school，in fact language is always evolving.New words emerge while others fall out of use.Pronunciation changes over time as does the meaning of words. 38
Our ability to learn language develops when we are young.Sounds heard as infants，or even in the womb，set the stage for language learning later.Baby cooing is the result of babies’ analysis of the languages spoken to them. 39 Children exposed to multiple languages early in life，and growing up multilingual，develop enhanced cognitive functions.These may include the ability to focus and ignore distractions.
Languages are as diverse as the communities that speak them.Each of the approximately 7,000 world languages is a testimony to a community’s unique human experience.Yet，many languages around the world are endangered.It is possible that as many as half of the world’s languages could go silent by the end of this century.Why？ 40 But they boil down to social inequalities and disrespect for others.
A．The reasons are complex.
B．Languages change with time.
C．These are rooted in their history and culture.
D．What kind of slang you use may come from the habits of place you grew up in.
E．Language also shows the connections between us and our natural environment.
F．Babies are practicing the pronunciation of sounds that they need for communication.
G．People also borrow words from languages other than their own to add to their own vocabulary.

For protecting endangered neighbors，pandas make unreliable umbrellas.
Like many undergraduate biology students，Wang Fang was taught that pandas are a prime example of 56. umbrella species—a well-known and usually endangered animal 57.___________ protection benefits an entire ecosystem.
In fact，the story is much 58. (complex)，according to findings that Dr.Wang，now an ecologist at Fudan University in Shanghai，published in Biological Conservation.Refuting (反驳) years of 59. (assume) about the universal benefits of panda conservation，Dr.Wang and his colleagues report that a number of other 60. (threaten) species are not being protected by the panda umbrella.
Panda conservation，on its own,61 (be) a success up to now.In the 1980s，pandas had very little protection in the wild and were thought to add up to around just 1,100 individuals.In the 1990s，China began to 62. (active) conserve wild populations.Eventually sixty-seven panda-specific protected areas 63. (represent) 70 percent of the species’ range were established.
All of those efforts focused simply not on other species,64. on China’s national animal.Dr.Wang began to question the umbrella species narrative and carried out research，only 65. (find) that panda conservation had not helped large carnivores in China.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新的研究结果表明，保护熊猫并没有像普遍认为的那样惠及众多其他的濒危物种。
56．答案　an
解析　考查冠词。此处species为泛指，且umbrella是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。

58．答案　more complex
解析　考查比较级。此处指与上文的情况相比，实际情况更加复杂，应用比较级。故填more complex。
59．答案　assumptions
解析　考查名词。作介词的宾语，应用名词assumption，且根据years of可知数量大于一，应用可数名词复数形式。故填assumptions。
60．答案　threatened
解析　考查形容词。修饰名词species应用形容词作定语，由句意知应用threatened。故填threatened。

64．答案　but
解析　考查固定用法。表示“不是……而是……”应用not...but...。故填but。
65．答案　to find
解析　考查非谓语动词。此处为only to do sth，为不定式作结果状语，表示意想不到的结果。故填to find。

The dog had a lucky narrow escape，but Scott’s car crashed into the roadside cornfield.He got knocked out and when he came to，he found he was unable to move or even reach for his cellphone lying not far away.Scott was desperate for help.
Fortunately，a motorist driving through the area found Scott and called 911.Scott was rushed to hospital.Without delay，the doctors gave Scott a thorough examination and found that he suffered multiple serious injuries and needed to be operated on immediately.After a 5-hour surgery，Scott was wheeled to his ward，where the doctors told Scott’s wife Susan that it would take several months for Scott to recover before he could do farm work again.
It was really bad news.This was the busiest time of year for the farmers of the region.What the doctors said meant Scott would not be able to bring in their October harvest of soybeans and corn in time，which would probably be ruined in the fields.The crops were their hard work of so many days! They meant the world to the family.Besides，wheat should be sown after the soybeans and corn were harvested.They couldn’t afford to miss the farm time，but they could do nothing at all since Susan also had to stay in the hospital to accompany and take care of Scott.Feeling extremely anxious and helpless，the couple could hardly fall asleep on the first night in the hospital.
The bad news that Scott had a serious accident spread quickly.The whole community were deeply concerned about him.Frank，director of the community，and some other farmers came to the hospital to see Scott the next day.

Frank comforted the couple and promised to help them out.The couple exchanged a grateful glance at each other，unable to control their excitement.Returning from the hospital，Frank and other farmers made a plan to harvest all of Scott’s crops! More than a dozen farmers showed up at his farm with heavy-duty equipment，like combines，trucks，and grain wagons.In a matter of four hours，they harvested over 240 acres—something that would’ve taken Scott an entire week by himself in good health.
Two months later，Scott recovered and returned home.Seeing the harvested crops piled in the storage，Scott beamed with great joy.What a blessing to have so many caring neighbors! Scott wanted to thank Frank and everyone who helped him.The next day，Scott’s wife prepared a delicious meal and invited all of them to their house.“It’s pretty amazing.You know，these people are taking time out of their busy schedule，this is the busy time of the year for us farmers，” said Scott.It’s amazing what the community can do when they come together for something good.
