PARIS, FRANCE
Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa receives her own fan mail each week. It has been on display in the Louvre
museum in Paris since 1797.
THE PANTANAL
The Pantanal, an enormous tropical wetland that runs across Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, is one of the best
spots to sight jaguars in the wild.
KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN
The Bahrain National Theatre has 1,001 seats, in a nod to the legendary Arabian Nights. It is a stunning
building on the waterfront in Manama, the capital of the island country.
LAKE BAIKAL, RUSSIA
Lake Baikal, set in the icy landscape of Siberia in Russia, has more water than the Great Lakes of North
America. It is also considered the deepest lake in the world.
CHILE
Located on a peninsula of solid marble bordering the glacial Lake General Carrera, the Cuevas de Mármol,
or the Marble Caves, have been formed by waves washing up against the calcium carbonate for over 6,000 years.
They can only be visited by boat.
1．If you want to see wild jaguars in their natural habitat, where should you visit
A．PARIS, FRANCE. B．THE PANTANAL. C．LAKE BAIKAL, RUSSIA． D．LONDON, THE UK.
2．What makes the Bahrain National Theatre unique
A．Its location on the waterfront. B．Its reference to the Arabian Nights.
C．Its modern architectural design. D．Its large number of seats.
3．Which of the following is TRUE about the Marble Caves in Chile
A．They are made of volcanic rock. B．They can be explored by car.

In a new study, the researchers examined trends in subjective well-being (幸福) over the course of a lifespan
based on 443 samples from a total of 460,902 participants. “We focused on changes in three central components of
subjective well-being: life satisfaction, positive emotional states and negative emotional states,” explains Professor
Susanne Bücker.
The findings show that life satisfaction decreased between the ages of 9 and 16, then increased slightly until
the age of 70, and then decreased once again until the age of 96. Positive emotional states showed a general decline
from age 9 to age 94, while negative emotional states fluctuated (波动 ) slightly between ages 9 and 22, then
declined until age 60 and then increased once again. The authors identified greater median changes in positive and
negative emotional states than in life satisfaction.
“Overall, the study indicated a positive trend over a wide period of life, if we look at life satisfaction and
negative emotional states,” Susanne Bücker concludes. The researchers attribute (把……归因于) the slight decline
in life satisfaction between the ages of 9 and 16 to, for example, changes to the body and to the social life that take
place during puberty. Satisfaction rose again from young adulthood onwards. Positive feelings tended to decrease
from childhood to late adulthood. In very late adulthood, all components of subjective well-being tended to worsen
rather than improve. “This could be related to the fact that in very old people, physical performance decreases,
health often worsens, and social contacts reduce; not least because their peers pass away,” calculates the researcher.
The study highlights the need to consider and promote subjective well-being with its various components
across the life, as the authors of the study conclude. Their findings could provide significant guidance for the
development of intervention programmes, especially those aimed at maintaining or improving subjective well-being
late in life.
4．What is exactly the subject of the study
A．Life satisfaction of the elderly. B．Trends in lifelong subjective well-being.
C．Ways to control negative emotional states. D．Factors affecting positive emotional states.

C．Providing a theoretical basis for healthy growth. D．Guiding to improve the well-being of the elderly.
7．What’s the best title for the text

B．What does subjective well-being consist of
C．Why will we be more positive as we get older
D．How does subjective well-being develop over the lifetime
第二节：七选五
If you find yourself thinking, “I am a failure,” it’s important to know that there are things you can do to feel
better. Knowing how to cope (应对) with failure in a healthy way takes some of the fear out of it. 8
First of all, it’s important to acknowledge that everybody fails at one time or another, but that doesn’t make
us failures—it just means we are human, and that things didn’t work out this time. If you do feel like a failure,
calling a friend, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with
your pain. 9 So you should try to find out what does for you.
Failure can be a great teacher if you’re open to learning. Did you make a whole series of mistakes Think
about what you could do differently next time. 10 Instead of seeing a failure as a burden weighing you
down, look at it as a stepping stone toward your goals.
Once you’ve identified your mistakes and where you can learn from them, you’ll be ready to make a plan for
moving forward. 11 Stop thinking, “I am a failure.” and focus on thinking. “I am capable of trying again.”
Create a plan that will help you put the information you gained into practice.
If you’ve spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally happens. Facing your
fears, however, can be the key to reducing the discomfort. 12 Do things that might get you rejected or try
new things where you could fail. Over time, you’ll learn that failure isn’t as bad as you might imagine.
A．Practice stepping outside your comfort zone.
B．Not every coping skill works for everyone, though.
C．These will provide you with some temporary relief.
D．Then you can ensure your failure will become a life lesson.
E．And it helps reduce the pain so you can bounce back better.
F．Remember that focusing on your problems will keep you stuck.
G．There are many reasons why you might be feeling like a failure.
五、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1个适当的词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Human memory is unreliable. Even people with the sharpest facial recognition skills can only remember so much.
It’s tough to quantify how good a person is 13 remembering. No one really knows how many
different faces someone can recall, for example, but various estimates tend to hover in the thousands.
Machines aren’t limited this way. Give the right computer a massive database of faces, and it can process
what it sees — then recognize a face it 14 (tell) to find — with remarkable speed and precision. This skill
is 15 supports the enormous promise of facial-recognition software in the 21st century.
The thing is, machines still have limitations when it comes to facial recognition: And scientists are only just
beginning to understand what those constraints are. 16 (figure) out how computers are struggling,
researchers at the University of Washington created a massive database of faces and 17 (test) a variety of
facial-recognition algorithms (算法 ) as they scales up in complexity. The idea was to test the machines on a
database that included up to 1 million different images of nearly 7, 000 different people — and not just a large
database 18 (feature) a relatively small number of different faces.
As the databases grew, machine 19 (accurate) dipped across the board. Algorithms 20 were
right 95% of the time when they were dealing with a 13,000-image database; for example, were accurate about 70%
of the time when face with 1 million images.
Machines also had difficulty adjusting for people who look a lot alike — either doppoelgangers (长相极相似
的人) , whom the machine would have trouble in identifying as two separate people, 21 the same person
who appeared in different photos at different ages or in different lighting, whom the machine would 22
(correct) view as separate people.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了机器在人脸识别中的优点和局限性。

导宾语从句，宾语从句是以 how 为感叹词的感叹句；结合感叹句的句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配 be good
at，意为“擅长”。故填 at。
14．考查被动语态。句意：给一台合适的计算机一个庞大的人脸数据库，它就能处理它所看到的——然后识
别出它被告知要找到的一张脸。分子句子成分和句子结构可知，face 后面是省略了关系词 that 或 which 的定
语从句；分析定语从句句子成分可知，句子主语 it 指代前面的 computer，与谓语动词 tell 之间是被动关系，
所以要用被动语态；结合上文 can process 可知，此处描述的是现在的一般情况，所以要用一般现在时的被
动语态。故填 is told。
{#{QQABLQC95ggYgBSACL4qQwXcCUuQkIOjLQoERRCaKAZDSJFIFIA=}#}
15．考查表语从句。句意：这种技能为 21 世纪面部识别软件的巨大前景提供了支持。分析句子成分和句子
结构可知，句中已有系动词 is 和谓语动词 supports，可推断句子是一个复合句，所以设空处要填连词；设空
句跟在系动词 is 后面，所以这是一个表语从句；分析表语从句句子成分可知，从句缺少主语，且设空处指
代物，所以要填 what。故填 what。
16．考查不定式作目的状语。句意：为了弄清楚计算机是如何挣扎的，华盛顿大学的研究人员创建了一个庞
大的面部数据库，并测试了各种面部识别算法，因为它们的复杂性不断增加。根据句意可知，设空处在句中
充当目的状语，所以要用不定式。故填 To figure。
17．考查一般过去时。句意：为了弄清楚计算机是如何挣扎的，华盛顿大学的研究人员创建了一个庞大的面
部数据库，并测试了各种面部识别算法，因为它们的复杂性不断增加。根据前面的并列词 and 可知，设空处
与前面的 created 并列，可知句子时态是一般过去时，所以设空处也要填过去式。故填 tested。
18．考查现在分词作定语。句意：我们的想法是在最多包含 1 个数据库的数据库上测试机器。近 7000 人的
百万张不同的照片——而不仅仅是一个拥有相对少量不同面孔的大数据库。分析句子成分和句子结构可知，
连词 that在句中引导定语从句，主从句句子成分完整，所以设空处是非谓语动词；根据句意可知，设空处
修饰前面的名词 database，所以设空处充当定语，与逻辑主语 database 之间是主动关系，所以要用现在分
词形式。故填 featuring。
19．考查名词作主语。句意：随着数据库的增长，机器的准确率全面下降。分析句子成分可知，设空处在句
中充当主语，所以要用名词形式。故填 accuracy。
20．考查定语从句。句意：例如，在处理含有 13000 张图像的数据库时，算法的精确度达到 95%，但在面对
100 万张图像时精确度下滑至 70%左右。分析句子成分和句子结构可知，句子________ were right 95% of the
time 对前面的名词 Algorithms 起修饰限定作用，所以这是一个定语从句；分析定语从句句子成分可知，句子
缺少主语，所以要用关系代词；先行词是物，所以要用 that或者 which。故填 that/which。
21．考查并列连词。句意：对于长得很像的人，机器也很难进行调整——要么是长得很像的人，机器很难将
他们识别为两个人;要么是同一个人，在不同年龄或不同光线下出现在不同的照片中，机器会正确地将他们
视为不同的人。根据句意可知，句子表达了“要么……要么……”的意思，所以要用 either…or…来表示。故填 or。
22．考查副词作状语。句意：对于长得很像的人，机器也很难进行调整——要么是长得很像的人，机器很难
将他们识别为两个人；要么是同一个人，在不同年龄或不同光线下出现在不同的照片中，机器会正确地将他
们视为不同的人。设空处作状语修饰后面的动词 view，所以要用副词形式。故填 correctly。

In a new study, the researchers examined trends in subjective well-being (幸福) over the course of a lifespan based on 443 samples from a total of 460,902 participants. “We focused on changes in three central components of subjective well-being: life satisfaction, positive emotional states and negative emotional states,” explains Professor Susanne Bücker.
The findings show that life satisfaction decreased between the ages of 9 and 16, then increased slightly until the age of 70, and then decreased once again until the age of 96. Positive emotional states showed a general decline from age 9 to age 94, while negative emotional states fluctuated (波动) slightly between ages 9 and 22, then declined until age 60 and then increased once again.

Their findings could provide significant guidance for the development of intervention programmes, especially those aimed at maintaining or improving subjective well-being late in life.

第二节：七选五
If you find yourself thinking, “I am a failure,” it’s important to know that there are things you can do to feel better. Knowing how to cope (应对) with failure in a healthy way takes some of the fear out of it. 8
First of all, it’s important to acknowledge that everybody fails at one time or another, but that doesn’t make us failures—it just means we are human, and that things didn’t work out this time. If you do feel like a failure, calling a friend, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain. 9 So you should try to find out what does for you.
Failure can be a great teacher if you’re open to learning. Did you make a whole series of mistakes Think about what you could do differently next time. 10 Instead of seeing a failure as a burden weighing you down, look at it as a stepping stone toward your goals.
Once you’ve identified your mistakes and where you can learn from them, you’ll be ready to make a plan for moving forward. 11 Stop thinking, “I am a failure.” and focus on thinking. “I am capable of trying again.” Create a plan that will help you put the information you gained into practice.
If you’ve spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally happens. Facing your fears, however, can be the key to reducing the discomfort. 12 Do things that might get you rejected or try new things where you could fail. Over time, you’ll learn that failure isn’t as bad as you might imagine.
A．Practice stepping outside your comfort zone.
B．Not every coping skill works for everyone, though.
C．These will provide you with some temporary relief.
D．Then you can ensure your failure will become a life lesson.
E．And it helps reduce the pain so you can bounce back better.
F．Remember that focusing on your problems will keep you stuck.
G．There are many reasons why you might be feeling like a failure.
五、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Human memory is unreliable. Even people with the sharpest facial recognition skills can only remember so much.
It’s tough to quantify how good a person is 13 remembering. No one really knows how many different faces someone can recall, for example, but various estimates tend to hover in the thousands.
Machines aren’t limited this way. Give the right computer a massive database of faces, and it can process what it sees — then recognize a face it 14 (tell) to find — with remarkable speed and precision. This skill is 15 supports the enormous promise of facial-recognition software in the 21st century.
The thing is, machines still have limitations when it comes to facial recognition: And scientists are only just beginning to understand what those constraints are. 16 (figure) out how computers are struggling, researchers at the University of Washington created a massive database of faces and 17 (test) a variety of facial-recognition algorithms (算法) as they scales up in complexity. The idea was to test the machines on a database that included up to 1 million different images of nearly 7, 000 different people — and not just a large database 18 (feature) a relatively small number of different faces.
As the databases grew, machine 19 (accurate) dipped across the board. Algorithms 20 were right 95% of the time when they were dealing with a 13,000-image database; for example, were accurate about 70% of the time when face with 1 million images.
Machines also had difficulty adjusting for people who look a lot alike — either doppoelgangers (长相极相似的人) , whom the machine would have trouble in identifying as two separate people, 21 the same person who appeared in different photos at different ages or in different lighting, whom the machine would 22 (correct) view as separate people.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了机器在人脸识别中的优点和局限性。
13．考查固定搭配。句意：很难量化一个人的记忆力有多好。分析句子成分和句子结构可知，how在句中引导宾语从句，宾语从句是以how为感叹词的感叹句；结合感叹句的句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配be good at，意为“擅长”。故填at。
14．考查被动语态。句意：给一台合适的计算机一个庞大的人脸数据库，它就能处理它所看到的——然后识别出它被告知要找到的一张脸。分子句子成分和句子结构可知，face后面是省略了关系词that或which的定语从句；分析定语从句句子成分可知，句子主语it指代前面的computer，与谓语动词tell之间是被动关系，所以要用被动语态；结合上文can process可知，此处描述的是现在的一般情况，所以要用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is told。
15．考查表语从句。句意：这种技能为21世纪面部识别软件的巨大前景提供了支持。分析句子成分和句子结构可知，句中已有系动词is和谓语动词supports，可推断句子是一个复合句，所以设空处要填连词；设空句跟在系动词is后面，所以这是一个表语从句；分析表语从句句子成分可知，从句缺少主语，且设空处指代物，所以要填what。故填what。
16．考查不定式作目的状语。句意：为了弄清楚计算机是如何挣扎的，华盛顿大学的研究人员创建了一个庞大的面部数据库，并测试了各种面部识别算法，因为它们的复杂性不断增加。根据句意可知，设空处在句中充当目的状语，所以要用不定式。故填To figure。
17．考查一般过去时。句意：为了弄清楚计算机是如何挣扎的，华盛顿大学的研究人员创建了一个庞大的面部数据库，并测试了各种面部识别算法，因为它们的复杂性不断增加。根据前面的并列词and可知，设空处与前面的created并列，可知句子时态是一般过去时，所以设空处也要填过去式。故填tested。
18．考查现在分词作定语。句意：我们的想法是在最多包含1个数据库的数据库上测试机器。近7000人的百万张不同的照片——而不仅仅是一个拥有相对少量不同面孔的大数据库。分析句子成分和句子结构可知，连词that在句中引导定语从句，主从句句子成分完整，所以设空处是非谓语动词；根据句意可知，设空处修饰前面的名词database，所以设空处充当定语，与逻辑主语database之间是主动关系，所以要用现在分词形式。故填featuring。
19．考查名词作主语。句意：随着数据库的增长，机器的准确率全面下降。分析句子成分可知，设空处在句中充当主语，所以要用名词形式。故填accuracy。
20．考查定语从句。句意：例如，在处理含有13000张图像的数据库时，算法的精确度达到95%，但在面对100万张图像时精确度下滑至70%左右。分析句子成分和句子结构可知，句子________ were right 95% of the time对前面的名词Algorithms起修饰限定作用，所以这是一个定语从句；分析定语从句句子成分可知，句子缺少主语，所以要用关系代词；先行词是物，所以要用that或者which。故填that/which。
21．考查并列连词。句意：对于长得很像的人，机器也很难进行调整——要么是长得很像的人，机器很难将他们识别为两个人;要么是同一个人，在不同年龄或不同光线下出现在不同的照片中，机器会正确地将他们视为不同的人。根据句意可知，句子表达了“要么……要么……”的意思，所以要用either…or…来表示。故填or。
22．考查副词作状语。句意：对于长得很像的人，机器也很难进行调整——要么是长得很像的人，机器很难将他们识别为两个人；要么是同一个人，在不同年龄或不同光线下出现在不同的照片中，机器会正确地将他们视为不同的人。设空处作状语修饰后面的动词view，所以要用副词形式。故填correctly。
