So what is rewilding
Imagine our natural homes growing instead of shrinking. Imagine species diversifying instead of declining. That's rewilding. Rewilding offers hope for wildlife, humans and the planet.
Why is rewilding important and necessary
Our natural ecology is broken. The places where you would expect wildlife to exist have been reduced to wet deserts. The seabed has been destroyed and there have been no living creatures any more.
Our wildlife is disappearing. Many wonderful species have declined over the past century. We've lost more of our large animals than any European country.
Nature looks after us. Good natural ecology can provide us with clean air and water, prevent flooding and store carbon. Rewilding can leave the world in a better state than it is today.
What are challenges
As a long-term project, our "Rewilding Britain" has its challenges. Many people are not interested, because we have got used to the lack of native forests. Many farmers oppose the idea. They thought it a crazy idea to bring back predators(捕食性动物) because they would start killing farm animals. It takes time to educate them. Above all, we need money! So we need your help!
Make a donation.
Help us bring back living systems and restore wild nature!
With your help we can:
Open up new chances for rewilding and push for change.
Develop tools to educate, influence and spread the word.
Thanks for your support.
21、Which of the following is the result of rewilding
A. Species become various. B. A lot of animals disappear.
C. Environments are destroyed. D. Natural disasters happen regularly.
22、Which of the following is one of the challenges at present
A. People's destruction. B. A lack of volunteers.
C. A shortage of time. D. Farmers' disagreement.
23、What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To introduce a new project.
B. To call on people to give away money.
C.To warn people of the natural ecology.
D. To convince people to change their mind.
Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors(传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department.
My boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting back,” he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.” “Fine, ” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say.
I decided to go home early that day. In the hall I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron(围裙) were visible over the cart(小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job!
At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off I was than this poor woman.
I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work...”
24、How did the author feel on that rainy day
A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Embarrassed. D. Proud.
25、What was the author asked to do
A. Take care of patients. B. Leave earlier that day.
C. Help the laid-off workers. D. Give up the job in the hospital.
26、How did the author help the Cookie Lady
A. He offered her a high-paid job. B. He gave her advice on job hunting.
C. He made her story known to others. D. He taught her how to pass an interview.
27、What does the story tell us
A.Good deeds have their rewards.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Little people can make a big difference.
D.Love brings more joy to people than work does.
Want to help fight global warming Take off your tie, says the Italian health ministry. It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work in the summer so that the air conditioning can be turned down.
“Taking your tie off immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 or 3 degrees centigrade,” the ministry said in a statement. “Allowing a more sensible use of air conditioning brings about electricity savings and protects the environment.”
It called on all public and private offices to let employees wear no tie during heatwaves like the one that has brought Africa-like temperatures to many parts of Italy this week.
The move reacts to a similar action from Italy’s biggest oil group, ENI, which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work. The tie makers, however, were left hot under the collar.
“Italy confirms(证实) that it is a strange country,” Flavio Cima said angrily in a letter to financial daily IL Sole-2AORE under the headline: “I, tie maker, am responsible for global warming.”
“We can now happily continue with our lifestyle, using cars, consuming fuel, heating and cooling our homes at leisure. On one condition: we should not wear a tie while we do so,” he wrote.
“l should have listened to my friends and become an oil producer instead.99 Italy is one of the European Union’s worst performers on the pollution front and is among the EU countries expected to exceed(超出) their greenhouse gas emission(排放) targets.
28、What’s the purpose of the move of taking off ties
A. To dress casually. B.To fight global warming.
C. To keep the body temperature. D.To improve working conditions.
29、Who first encouraged employees to take off ties
A. ENI. B. Flavio Cima.
C. A financial daily. D. The Italian health ministry.
30、What does the underlined part “hot under the collar” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Angry. B. Speechless. C. Delighted. D. Puzzled.
31、What can we know about Flavio Cima
A. He stands by the oil group. B.He agrees with the ministry.
C. He admits his responsibility. D.He argues against taking off ties.
Robots in the art world are nothing new. In fact, for centuries, people have built robots as art objects. However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.
In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, AARON is able to paint anything a human could paint. So can AARON be called an artist or creative In 2010, Cohen explained, “Although he wrote the initial computer code that AARON follows, AARON can generate unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes—AARON is creative.
It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon released is first album(唱片) on Spotify. Shimon began life as a simple robot marimba (木琴) player. Over the years, however, it’s learned how to perform with other musicians, write original songs. Shimon does this by analyzing huge amounts of music —roughly 50,000 rock, jazz and hip-hop songs —to identify patterns and then uses that information to create original works.
It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is capable of doing things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would lead to new directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.”
While questions about robots creating art are fun to think about, there are many other ways that robots can help artists in the way they create their works. For example, advancements in 3D-printing technology will allow artists to build more complex pieces for their sculptures. Therefore, robots in the art world are here to stay.
32、What was AARON able to do at first
A.Paint people and landscapes.
B.Prepare basic outlines for Cohen.
C.Draw pictures of itself and Cohen.
D.Color paintings under Cohen’s instructions.
33、What does the article tell us about Shimon
A.It is both a marimba and guitar player.
B.It has created about 50,000 original songs.
C.It is expected to push humans to achieve more.
D.Its creators hope that it can outperform humans.
34、What does the author’s attitude toward robots that create art
A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
35、Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. AARON and Shimon B. Robots in the Real World
C. Programmed Creativity D. Advancements in Technology

“Great. Let’s start with the cash register,” Mrs Rossi said, “because that’s what you’ll be doing.” She showed him how to use the cash register. It wasn’t hard. The pastry trays were all marked by price, and there weren’t that many choices anyway. “That’s it ”Aram said, his heart sinking. “But when do we bake ”
“Bake I order wholesale now. No more baking. I’m too old.” Then Mrs Rossi silently held up her hands.Aram took in her knotted, swollen fingers, and he understood. A wave of disappointment struck him. Sadness overwhelmed him so suddenly that he couldn’t think of a word to say.
He sighed, and Mrs Rossi sighed, too. “I used to bake it all. Bread and cakes. And no one did it better than me. But that was when these things worked,” said Mrs Rossi holding up her hands once more and glancing across the shelves filled with empty bottles labelled with names of the various ingredients (配料) she once used.

First, there is an English Literature course, which will deal with 20th-century writers and poets. There is also a second course about 18th-century artists, which includes guided tours of the best galleries, and finally a course in Modern Architecture, with visits to some of the city’s most famous buildings.
Classes are from 9:00 a.m. to 3: 00 p.m., leaving you plenty of time for other activities in the long summer evenings. Fridays are also free for you to have a break because there are lessons on Saturdays and Sundays, too.
Now, about prices. The full price of each course is $ 425. The price includes all meals full use of the library, and social activities, such as parties, outings, etc. Oh, I almost forgot, all books are included too, so you won’t have to spend anything on that. But you have to make your own travel arrangements to the college.

21、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段前三句“Imagine our natural homes growing instead of shrinking. Imagine species diversifying instead of declining. That's rewilding.”可知,当我们进行再野生化的时候,我们的自然家园会扩大而不是萎缩,物种会变得更加多样化而不是减少。由此可推知,再野生化会使物种变得多样化。故A项正确。
22、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据“What are challenges ”部分的“Many farmers oppose the idea.”可知很多农民反对这个项目。故D项正确。
23、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据文章中的“Above all, we need money!”及“Make a donation.”部分的“Help us bring back living systems and restore wild nature!”可知,本文主要是为了号召人们为Rewilding Britain项目捐款。故B项正确。
24、答案：A
解析：推断题。根据文章第一段第三、四句 Throughout the day, rumors (传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department. 可知，一整天，传言都在说各个部门的新员工都会被解雇，而“我”是培训部门的新员工，因为不确定自己是否会被解雇，“我”的内心应该是紧张的。故A项正确。excited 意为“激动的”，awkward 意为“尴尬的”，proud 意为“自豪的”，均不符合文意。故B、C、D项均错误。故正确答案为A。
25、答案：C
解析：细节题。根据文章第二段第三句中 Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs 可知，作者的上司交代作者给被解雇员工提供课程，以帮助被解雇员工找到新工作。故正确答案为D。
26、答案：C
解析：细节题。根据文章倒数第一段第二、三句 I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. 可知，作者给报纸写了一篇文章，通过报纸让公众都了解 Cookie Lady 的故事，随后，Cookie Lady 留在了岗位上。故作者是通过让 Cookie Lady 的故事为人所知来帮助她的。故正确答案为C。
27、答案：A
解析：推断题。根据文章倒数第一段倒数第一句 An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you're looking for work ... 可知，作者被一个杂志编辑看中了，希望作者下次找工作时可以联系她，结合文章大意可知，作者原本十分担忧自己是否会被解雇，而此时看见了新的工作机会，即不用担心被解雇了，这对作者来说是一个好消息，而这个好消息是作者为了帮助 Cookie Lady 而写了报纸文章才得到的，即作者做了好事，也得到了回报。故A项正确。B项，“患难见真情”。文章并未体现。故B项错误。C项，“小人物可以发挥大作用”。文章中，作者虽然是个小人物，做的事情也产生了一定作用和影响，但这只是文章内容的一部分，文章还包含作者因为自己做的事而得到好消息的内容。以偏概全。故C项错误。D项，“爱给人们带来的乐趣超过了工作给人们带来的乐趣”。文章并未体现。故D项错误。故正确答案为A。
28、答案：B
解析：细节题。由第一段 “Want to help fight global warming Take off your tie, says the Italian health ministry.” 可知，不打领带旨在帮助对抗全球变暖，B项正确。A项，为了穿着随意。由第一段 “It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work in the summer so that the air conditioning can be turned down” 可知让员工穿着随意是为了关掉冷气，穿着随意是实现该目的的方式，而不是目的，A项错误。C项，为了保持体温。由第三段第一句 “'Taking your tie off immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 or 3 degrees centigrade'”，可知不系领带可降低体温，而非保持体温，C项错误。D项，为了改善工作条件，原文未提及，D项错误。故正确答案为B。
29、答案：A
解析：细节题。由第五段中的 “Italy’s biggest oil group, ENI, which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work” 可知 ENI 公司告诉员工不需要系领带。故A项正确。由第七段 “Flavia Cima said angrily in a letter to financial daily IL SOLE 24 ORE under the headline:'I, tie maker, am responsible for global warming.'” 可知 Flavia Cima 为一个领带商，B项错误；金融日报为该领带商写投诉信的一家报纸，均未鼓励员工不带领带，C项错误。由第二段中的 “It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work” 和第四段中的 “It called on all public and private offices to let employees wear no tie during heat waves” 可知意大利卫生部的告知对象是雇主而非雇员，D项错误。故正确答案为A。
30、答案：A
解析：推断题。由第七段中的 “Flavia Cima said angrily in a letter to financial daily” 可知，作为领带商中的一员，Flavia Cima 在报纸上登的信中诉说了他的愤怒。故推知领带商对系领带加剧了温室效应的说法是愤怒（angry）的，A项正确speechless 意为“哑的；目瞪口呆的”，delighted 意为“高兴的”，puzzled 意为“疑惑的”，均不符合文意，B、C、D项错误。故正确答案为A。
31、答案：D
解析：细节题。由第八段第一、二句 “'We can now happily continue with our lifestyle, using cars, consuming fuel, heating and cooling our homes at leisure. On one condition: we should not wear a tie while we do so,' he wrote.” 可知 Flavio Cima 质疑若人们还是继续他们原有的生活方式，使用汽车，消耗燃料，闲在家时使用暖气和冷气，仅仅脱下领带，谈何缓解温室效应。故他反对工作时不带领带这一倡议，D项正确。A项，他代表石油集团，文中只是提到作者自嘲的说应该去做石油行业，并不是代表石油集团，A项错误；B项，他同意部长的观点，由第七段中 “Flavia Cima said angrily in a letter” 可知作者认为部长的观点很让人生气，不可能同意其观点，B项错误；C项，他承认（在加剧温室效应上）自己有责任，为正话反说，是气话，C项错误。故正确答案为D。
32、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add.(1973年，英国出生的画家Harold Cohen编写了一个计算机程序，并将其命名为AARON。起初，AARON只画了一些简单的轮廓，这些轮廓的颜色和细节后来由Cohen添加。)”可知，AARON一开始只能画出Cohen的轮廓线。故选B。
33、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段中“According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is capable of doing things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would lead to new directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.”(据Shimon的创造者之一Gil Weinberg说，因为机器人能够做真正的音乐家可能想不到的事情，他和他的团队“希望并相信这些新能力将引领人类合作无法实现的新方向。”)”可知，Shimon有望推动人类取得更多成就。故选C。
34、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。 根据第一段中“However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.(然而，现在不同的是，艺术家和工程师正在制造真正创造艺术的机器人。)”以及第三段中“It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though.(然而，机器人创造的不仅仅是绘画。)”可推知，作者对创造艺术的机器人持积极的态度。故选A。
35、答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其是第一段中“However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.(然而，现在不同的是，艺术家和工程师正在制造真正创造艺术的机器人。)”可知，本文主要说明了机器人在艺术世界的广泛应用情况，因此C选项“Programmed Creativity(编程的创造力)”，故选C。
36、答案：①-⑤DAGFC
解析：①根据上文 If you find yourself losing the motivation to do your homework, you are not alone. 可知，如果你发现你丢掉了写作业的积极性，那么你不是一个人。下文应该是对“你不是一个人”的呼应。D项意为“许多学生拖延做作业”，承接上文，符合语境。故正确答案为D。
②根据上文 Here's how to find the motivation: 和下文 If you are too tired, you'll just want to watch television instead of thinking about your homework. 可知，文章主要是介绍找回积极性的方法，并且空格句所在段与身体的轻松和疲惫状态有关。A项意为“得到足够的休息”，承上启下，符合语境。故正确答案为A。
③根据上文 Make sure your study area is free from distractions. 可知，上文强调确保你的学习环境没有干扰因素，故空格处内容应该是没有干扰的好处和结果。G项意为“如果你能集中注意力，你就能更快地完成作业”，承接上文，符合语境。故正确答案为G。
④根据上文 Doing your homework right after you get home can keep you from falling into the trap of endless hours of distractions. 可知，一到家就做作业可以防止你陷入无休止的分心的陷阱，这是马上做作业的好处，故空格处内容也应与马上做作业的好处有关。F项意为“另外，你学过的知识在你的脑海里仍然是新鲜的”，承接上文，符合语境。故正确答案为F。
⑤根据上文 Create a schedule. 和下文 Plan out when you will do each part of the assignment. 可知，本段与制定计划有关，下文提及计划好何时完成作业的每一部分，故空格处内容也应与制定作业计划有关。C项意为“把你所有的作业写在一张清单上”，承上启下，符合语境。故正确答案为C。

52、答案：①have taken/have been taking②it③going④months⑤more⑥However⑦a⑧competition⑨popularity⑩completely
解析：①本题主要考查时态。结合句意，中国曾经在20世纪80年代和90年代被称为“自行车王国”，但从那以后，汽车一直在占据着全国。分析句子可知，空格处的动词 take 从过去开始，并且一直延续到现在，因此应用现在完成时或者现在完成进行时。故正确答案为 have taken/have been taking。
②本题主要考查代词。结合句意，因为交通堵塞，所以在中国大多数城市旅行很困难。it 为形式主语，指代真正的不定式主语 to travel across major Chinese cities。故正确答案为 it。
③本题主要考查动名词。分析句子成分可知，本句缺少主语，动名词短语 going a few kilometers 充当句子主语，表示走几公里这件事。故正确答案为 going。
④本题主要考查名词复数。month 为可数名词，six 意为“六个”，修饰可数名词复数，所以需要使用 month 的复数形式 months。故正确答案为 months。
⑤本句主要考查比较级。结合句意，他开车（次数）越来越少，坐地铁（次数）越来越多。此处 more 为副词 much 的比较级，与 less 对应，修饰动词 go。故正确答案为 more。
⑥本题主要考查连词。结合上文 For many, it is great to have sharing bikes. 可知，对大多数人来说，共享单车是很好的存在。此句讲共享单车投放位置不方便找到的问题，两者为转折关系，所以使用转折连词 however。且位于句首，首字母需大写。故正确答案为 However。
⑦本题主要考查冠词。结合句意，现在用一台智能手机就能知道自行车的位置。此处为泛指，且表示数量，意为“一”，所以应该使用不定冠词。且 smartphone 以辅音音素开头，所以使用不定冠词 a。故正确答案为 a。
⑧本题主要考查名词。结合句意，如今在共享单车供应商间存在激烈的竞争。a lot of 为形容词性短语，所以此处使用 compete 的名词形式 competition，意为“竞争”，且 competition 为不可数名词。故正确答案为 competition。
⑨本题主要考查名词。their 为形容词性物主代词，修饰名词。popular 为形容词，意为“流行的；普及的”，此处应该填写其名词形式 popularity。故正确答案为 popularity。
⑩本题主要考查副词。此处修饰动词 block，应该使用complete 的副词形式 completely。故正确答案为 completely。

64、答案：
Then a thought occurred to Aram that he could ask Mrs Rossi to teach him. "Yes, Mrs Rossi, Aram said, "I still remember the smell of the bread and cakes bought from your bakery when I was a child. It never failed to drive the misery away. How I wish I could be a baker like you. "Mrs Rossi squeezed out a smile, "But I'm old now and my fingers are no longer nimble. "What do you think of my fingers Do you think they are fit for baking "Aram responded carefully in a low voice. "Yes I noticed you had the perfect fingers for a baker. Then, would you please let me be your hands and restart baking " begged Aram expectantly.
Mrs Rossi finally spoke, Let s buy the ingredients first. Seeing the ingredients, Mrs Rossi refreshed her eyes glittering with light. With Mrs Rossi’s guidance, they made a fresh start. Every day, Mrs Rossi instructed Aram about the features of each ingredient and how they work together to make the best bread and cakes. Aram buried himself in the bakery and day by day, his skills gradually improved. Two years later, the now Aram and Rossi's Bakery again has people lining up around the corner.
