21、We often think of ourselves as our body, mind, and emotions. However, we also often talk about a person’s soul. Is there any scientific basis for the soul? Surprisingly, there is. Each unique personality a person has, the feeling and identity of the self beyond age, and our inevitable subjective experience as an individual make a scientific foundation for the soul.

Despite the constant change in the links between our brain cells, we remain the same personality. This is most obvious in the case of mentally ill patients or people who have experienced memory loss. Science journalist Michael Lemonick told the story of Lonni Sue, who suffered brain damage and was left unable to recall her past or to form new memories. Lemonick thought that Lonni Sue, when she lost her memories, lost her self. But once he got to know her, as well as people who knew her before and after her injury, Lemonick discovered that herself had not been destroyed. She was still cheerful in a way that made people around her feel better, and she was still creative and playful. So, despite memory loss, we still have the essence of our personality. Basically, no matter what happens to our brain, our unique personality seems to shine through.

Besides one’s personality being present despite memory loss, the soul of a person can be identified through one’s consciousness. Though we commonly identify with our body and what we see in the mirror, we also have a sense that we are not a certain age—as our sense of self usually depends less on age and rather on our subjective feeling of who we are.

Lastly, each person is inevitably subjective about his or her experience. Despite humans being very similar to each other in DNA, our view on reality is very different from individual to individual.

The soul of a person is challenging to prove scientifically. However, with each person’s personality being unique, the behavioral quality of thinking of the self beyond age, and our inevitable subjective experience, we can say that the soul has some basis in science. These realities of our behavior, character, and perception might not be tested, but they are very difficult to deny.

【1】The author tells the story of Lonni Sue to show ________.

A．the stability of people’s personality

B．strange behaviors of mentally ill patients

C．the chance for the mentally ill to form new memories

D．the changes of the people who suffered brain damage

【2】What does the underlined word “essence” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Past memory.

B．Changeable belief.

C．Optimistic attitude.

D．Important nature.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Our body, mind and emotions tell who we are.

B．The soul of a person changes as he or she grows old.

C．Scientific research has already proved what makes up our soul.

D．Our soul depends on our personality, consciousness and experience.

【4】Which is the best title for this passage?

A．Beyond identity

B．Beyond memory

C．Beyond age

D．Beyond nature

22、   Increasing numbers of airports, especially in Europe, are promoting a “silent airport” idea. It is to reduce noise pollution, such as airport-wide announcements, without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.

International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on. This is all changing. Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to create a calm, relaxed atmosphere without being disturbed by announcements. “Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges(休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.

In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland—a country where the tourism slogan(口号) is “silence, please”—became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept. As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.

Lost track of time in the shops?

Too bad.

Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals will be made only in exceptional（尤其） emergency circumstances.

Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display system and interactive kiosks(交互式自助服务机), together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicate with passengers. At Munich airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler’s language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger. Passengers can tap a “you are here” display to get directions and approximate walking time to their destinations.

Of course, an airport will never be as silent as a temple. There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements along with boarding calls. But at silent airports, the latter can be restricted to specific gates, as has adopted in Helsinki.

【1】What is Angela Gittens’ opinion on the silent airport concept?

A. It makes airport noise-free.

B. It is intended for passengers’ benefit.

C. It has changed international airports’ reputation.

D. It has encouraged the catering industry in airports.

【2】What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport?

A. Their boarding time. B. Finland’s tourism slogan.

C. The shop’s opening hours. D. The “you are here” display.

【3】Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the text?

A. To show its popularity. B. To introduce Infogate kiosks.

C. To prove Heikki Koski’s words. D. To be compared with Helsinki Airport.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. Silence, please. This is an airport.

B. Can airports be as quiet as temples?

C. Silent airports all around the world.

D. Technology helps airports become interactive.

23、Since around the later part of the 1950s, society started to realize that tobacco cigarettes caused health problems. As research progressed along with increasing numbers of people that developed lung cancer, emphysema, and other smoking related illnesses, cigarette smoking has become less accepted and popular. Unfortunately, the nicotine contained in cigarettes is one of the most addictive substances on the planet and makes quitting smoking one of the hardest things to do. In 2003, Chinese pharmacist, Hon Lik invented the electronic cigarette as a safer, and cleaner way to breathe in nicotine after his father, a heavy smoker, passed away from lung cancer attributed to smoking tobacco cigarettes.

Hon Lik applied for his first patent on the electronic cigarette in 2003 and afterwards introduced e-cigs to the Chinese market in the following year through his employer, Golden Dragon Holdings. Golden Dragon Holdings later changed the company’s name to “Ruyan” in order to better match the company’s name(Ruyan means “almost like smoke”)to the new product. Since the renaming, the Ruyan company has continued e-cigarette development and grown to be one of the largest global e-cig manufactures.

Dr.Sam Han, CEO of Cixi E-CIG Technology, Inc, Ltd. also has a number of e-cig related inventions, including four patents in the United States and two in China that are electronic cigarette and e-liquid technology related. Similar to Hon Lik’s father. Dr. Han was a heavy smoker for more than 40 years before beginning to work on electronic cigarette technologies in order to help himself and others make the shift to vapor smoking. Dr.Han continues to market and conduct R&D in e-cig related techonologies to this date.

After the successful deployment of Ruyan and Cixi E-CIG electronic cigarettes in China and Asia, the products started to be sold in significant quantities on the Internet.

【1】How many years is it since the electronic cigarette was first invented according to the passage?

A. About 5 years.      B. About 13 years.

C. About 15 years.      D. About 20 years.

【2】What’s the direct reason why Hon Lik invented the electronic cigarette according to the passage?

A. Tobacco cigarettes caused health problems.

B. Tobacco cigarettes were too expensive for customers to buy.

C. Quitting smoking became one of the hardest things to do.

D. His father died from lung cancer due to smoking tobacco cigarettes.

【3】Since when have Chinese smokers been able to buy Hon Lik’s electronic cigarettes according to the passage?

A. 2000.   B. 2003.   C. 2004.     D. 2005.

24、Coral reefs are some of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth. Coral reefs support more species per unit area than any other marine (海洋的) environment, including about 4,000 species of fish, 800 species of hard corals and hundreds of other species. Scientists estimate that there may be millions of undiscovered species living in and around reefs. This biodiversity is considered the key to finding new medicines for the 21st century. Many drugs are now being developed from coral reef animals and plants as possible cures for cancer, viruses, and other diseases.

Healthy coral reefs (珊瑚礁) support fisheries as well as jobs and businesses through tourism and recreation. About half of all managed fisheries depend on coral reefs and related habitats for a part of their life cycles. The National Marine Fisheries Service estimates the commercial value of U. S. fisheries from coral reefs is over $ 100 million. Local economies receive billions of dollars from visitors to reefs through diving tours, recreational fishing trips, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses based near reef ecosystems.

Coral reef structures also buffer shorelines against 97 percent of the energy from waves, storms, and floods, helping to prevent loss of life, and property damage. When reefs are damaged or destroyed, the absence of this natural barrier can increase the damage to coastal communities from normal wave action and violent storms. Several million people live in U. S. coastal areas near coral reefs. Some coastal development is required to provide necessary infrastructure (基础设施) for coastal residents and the growing coastal tourism industry.

Despite their great economic and recreational value, coral reefs are severely threatened by pollution, disease, and habitat destruction. Once coral reefs are damaged, they are less able to support the many creatures that live on them and the communities near them. When a coral reef supports fewer fish, plants, and animals, it also loses value as a tourist destination.

【1】Why is biodiversity important to medicines?

A．It can reduce the prices of new medicines.

B．It can help make new medicines.

C．It can be used for medicines.

D．It can be used to cure diseases.

【2】What does the underlined word “buffer” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．restore.

B．clean.

C．beautify.

D．weaken.

【3】What will happen if coral reefs are damaged?

A．Most fish will die out.

B．Coastal cities will attract fewer tourists.

C．There will be no large fish.

D．The sea will be polluted.

【4】Why does the author write this article?

A．To introduce the environments of infrastructure.

B．To encourage readers to support marine environment.

26、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。

I took a trip to visit New York with my dad after graduating from high school. One of the places on his list for us to visit was a “rare violin shop" since I played the violin all four years and participated in the honor orchestra as well We made our way down the crowded streets and eventually stopped in front of a tall building

This building was not what I pictured when I heard “rare violin shop". I'd been imagining a street-level shop, open to the public, with some interesting and old violins on display, maybe with a luthier （拨弦乐器制作匠） in the back. As we walked inside, took the elevator to the sixth floor, and stood in front of what appeared to be a private condo （公寓的套房），I knew something felt off. I voiced my concern to my dad as he rang the doorbell but was ignored. My dad had never been great at interpreting （解读） social standards.

We were greeted by a receptionist who asked if we had an appointment, since they were by appointment only. I wanted the ground to swallow me whole and I was instantly aware of the sweaty, summer tourist clothes we had on. My dad eagerly told them that no, we didn't but, “my daughter plays the violin with her high school orchestra and isn't that great? And we would love to just go inside and browse! Don't mind us!”

The receptionist gave him a strange look but took it in stride （泰然处之） and excused herself to talk to someone behind a door. She came back with the owner, a well-dressed man, who told us that since he had no other appointments right now, he would love to give us a tour!

The starting price for a violin here, we found out, was 10k. He showed us around a very private feeling and swanky （时髦且豪华的） looking condo, pointed out a room where he casually mentioned he would chat with Joshua Bell when he came by, and opened the most interesting two person safe I've ever seen to show me several multimillion dollar violins.

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。

He asked me questions about my orchestra and what pieces I liked to play as well.
