Our days on Earth are numbered, according to Professor Stephen Hawking.
The world-famous physicist has previously issued warnings to the world that robots could wipe out mankind and that leaving Earth is our only hope.
“I believe that life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as a sudden nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus, or catastrophic global warming,” he said. “I think the human race has no future if it doesn’t go to space.”
Hawking said that increasingly, most of the threats mankind faces come from progress in technology. “We are not going to stop making progress, or reverse it, so we must recognise the dangers and control them.”
To get away from these threats, humankind will have to go to other planets, which Hawking believes will take more than a century. “We will not set up self-sustaining colonies (殖民地) in space for at least the next hundred years, so we have to be very careful in this period,” Hawking said.
Research about sending humans into space remains strong.
In September the US Senate introduced a bill that approves a new $19.5 billion (£15 billion) budget for Nasa to send a crew to the red planet, but commanded it must happen within the next 25 years.
Professor Hawking has also previously singled out the risk of artificial intelligence (AI人工智能) becoming powerful enough to cause the downfall of mankind.
In July, Professor Hawking and Tesla founder Elon Musk led 1,000 robotics experts in an open letter warning that “Weapons entirely powered by AI will become the Kalashnikovs of tomorrow”.
“The probable life span (寿命) of human civilization is much greater if we’re a multi-planet species as opposed to a single-planet species,” Elon Musk said last year.
His company SpaceX is working to send humans to space. In September, the firm test fired one of its new Raptor “interplanetary transport engines” which the company will use to carry astronauts to Mars.
58. What does the underlined word “reverse” in Para 4 mean?
A. recognise and control
D. single out
B. get away from C. change to the
opposite
59. Which of the following might Professor Hawking NOT agree with?
A. The human race has no way out but to stop progress in technology. B. It will take at least one century to colonize a planet. C. Artificial intelligence will bring disasters to the human race. D. Mankind is facing many dangers caused by technological progress 60. The underlined sentence “Our days on Earth are numbered” implies _____.
A. We are particular creatures living on earth. B. We can’t live on earth for much longer. C. There are too many days for human existence. D. Each day has its particular meaning.
61. The paragraphs following this passage would probably talk about _____.
A. how to make human life span longer B. more threats the human race faces C. the risk of artificial intelligence D. Space X’s plan to colonize Mars
C
If you watch wolves, it’s hard to escape the conclusion that perhaps no two species are more alike behaviorally than wolves and humans. Living as we do in families, we can easily recognize the social structures and status search in wolf packs. No wonder Native Americans recognized in wolves a sibling (兄弟姐妹) spirit. And no wonder human males often face pressure to measure up as alpha males—to “wolf up,” as it were. The term alpha male indicates a man who at every moment shows that he’s in control in the home and who can become aggressive (好斗的).
This alpha male stereotype comes from a misunderstanding of the real thing. By observing wolves in free-living packs in Yellowstone National Park, I’ve seen that the leadership of the alpha male is not forced, and not aggressive to those on his team. “The main characteristic of an alpha male wolf,” the experienced wolf researcher Rick McIntyre told me as we were watching gray wolves, “is a quiet
confidence. You know what you need to do; you know what’s best for your pack. You lead by example. You’re very comfortable with that. You have a calming effect.”
The point is, alpha males are not aggressive. They don’t need to be. “Think of an emotionally secure man or a great champion. Whatever he needed to prove is already proven,” he said.
There is an evolutionary logic to it. “Imagine two wolf packs, or two human groups,” McIntyre said. “Which is more likely to survive and reproduce: the one whose members are more cooperative, more sharing, less violent (暴力的) with one another, or the group whose members are beating each other up and competing with one another?”
Thus, an alpha male may be a major player in a successful hunt, but after the takedown of the prey (猎物), he may step away and sleep until his pack has eaten and is full.
McIntyre has spent 20 years watching and studying wolves in Yellowstone for the National Park Service. He rises early, uses radio telemetry (遥感勘测) to locate a pack through a radio-collared pack member, then heads out with his spotting scope (观测镜) to observe the animals, keeping careful notes of their activities.
In all that time, he has rarely seen an alpha male act aggressively toward the pack’s other members. They are his family—his mate, offspring (both biological and adopted), and maybe a sibling.
This does not mean that alpha males are not aggressive when they need to be. One famous wolf in Yellowstone whose radio collar number, M21, became his name, was considered a “super wolf” by the people who closely observed his life. He was fierce (凶猛的) in defense of family and clearly never lost a fight with a male wolf. Within his own pack, one of his favorite things was to play with little pups (幼兽).
“And what he really loved to do was to pretend to lose. He just got fun from it,” McIntyre said.
One year, a pup was a bit sickly. The other pups seemed to be afraid of him and wouldn’t play with him. Once, after delivering food for the small pups, M21 stood looking around for something. Soon he started wagging (摇摆) his tail. He’d been looking for the sickly little pup, and he went over just to play with him for a while.
Of all McIntyre’s stories about the super wolf, that’s his favorite. Strength impresses us. But kindness is what we remember best.
Biologists used to consider the alpha male the big boss. But now they recognize two systems at work in wolf packs—one for the males, the other for the females.
Doug Smith, the biologist who is the project leader for the Yellowstone Gray Wolf Restoration Project, said the females “do most of the decision making” for the pack, including where to travel, when to rest, and when to hunt. The matriarch’s (女族长的) personality can influence the whole pack, Smith said. Or, as McIntyre put it: “It’s the alpha female who really takes control of the pack.”
Clearly, our alpha male stereotype should be shaken off. Men can learn a thing or two from real wolves: less soar, more quiet confidence, leading by example, faithful devotion in the care and defense of families, respect for females, and a sharing of responsibilities. That’s really what wolfing up should mean. 62. What does the underlined “alpha male stereotype” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. That wolves have a sibling spirit. aggressive and in control at home.
C. That humans face pressure to be alpha males. are alike.
63. Why is the example of M21 mentioned?
A. To prove alpha males are tough if necessary. B. To compare it with other super wolves.
C. To illustrate that it is McIntyre’s favorite. research was carried out.
64. Which of the following images most resembles a real alpha male? A. A strict father who never smiles at his children. B. A father who does most of the decision making.
C. A general who never loses a battle in defense of his country. D. A powerful executive shouting at a board meeting. 65. The best title of the passage should be ________. A. Wolf families
B. The matriarch
C. Supreme bosses
D.
D. To show how the D. That wolves and humans
B. That alpha males are

From where I live on the coast of California’s Monterey Peninsula, there is no easy way to go anywhere. We have roads with views that will amaze you, but few fast lanes (车道). To go north to San Francisco, you take the Old Coast Highway, and then go ahead to 101, a multilane freeway, which, depending on weather and traffic, will finally get you where you’re going or drive you crazy. But the part I feared most was a narrow two-lane stretch (段) of a road that connected the two. In the south, where I grew up, such roads are called cow trails.
Roads are like people; they have personalities --- colored by how we see and feel about them at particular times. My husband taught me this about roads. Randy was an athlete, body and soul. A high school basketball coach, he loved and worked out with his teams. He was a marathoner who could run miles and not be tired. In 25 years of teaching he rarely had a sick day. And then he had cancer.
So we began another race down another road: a four-year-long marathon to Stanford University Medical Center for routine treatment and more than a few emergencies. And to get to the hospital we had to travel those impossible roads --- 91 miles, two hours. I hated every minute and inch. I especially hated that traffic-crowded cow trail. Then they started construction. Randy never complained. But as he grew weaker, I tried to avoid that cow trail to shorten our drive. I spent hours with maps but found that there was no getting around it. I had no choice but to drive it. Once, when we were running late for a meeting with the doctor, I complained, “I hate this stupid road.” “Four miles,” he said.
I looked over. His eyes were closed. “What did you say?” I asked.
“This part of the road,” he said in his calm voice. “It’s only four miles long. That’s easy. You can do anything for four miles.”
I checked the odometer(里程表). He was right. Four miles exactly. I could have sworn it was 20. Suddenly the drive got easier. Four miles was doable and
understandable. It was the distance we walked in the evening from our house to the beach and back. It was half the length of a mountain trail he loved to hike (远足) in Yosemite, with a baby on his back. Four short trips to our local park to play catch with our kids. A part of the 26 miles he once ran in the Big Sur International Marathon. Four miles was nothing --- certainly not a space or time worth wasting in anger when he had only months to live. So I stopped complaining. I started really looking. And there appeared green acres of fields that shined in the sun. Strawberries and roses stand at the roadside. And there was an old white horse watching cars running down the open road.
Those things had always been there, but I had never noticed. Randy taught me how to see them. Now when the road is long and hard, I break it into pieces in my soul. I divide it into four-mile stretches. You can tolerate anything for four miles --- even find beauty and acceptance along the way. 66. It can be leant from Paragraph 1 that ______.
A. you can drive crazily on 101 in a fine day
B. the roads are very dangerous and amazing
C. the cow trail joined the Old Coast Highway and 101 D. the roads to go north are narrow and rough 67. Which of the following about Randy is NOT right?
A. He had a strong love for playing sports. B. His poor health was due to 25 years’ overwork. C. He was very ill and could only live for months. D. He had fought with cancer for about four years.
68. It can be inferred from the last but one paragraph that _____.
A. Four miles was nothing worth wasting in anger. B. The author didn’t see the beautiful views on roads. C. Anything is acceptable if you see it differently. D. The author misread the odometer as 20 miles.
69. What is the message conveyed in the passage?
A. Complains makes no sense.
B. Life is short and time is zipping by.
C. A merry heart makes a long life. D. Situations are affected by our attitude.
70. The best title for the passage would be _____

The loss of handwriting in our high-tech world saddens me. People of all ages openly admit their handwriting is becoming worse as keyboards replace pen and paper. Increasingly, schoolchildren deal with assignments on computer and struggle to write, having had little practice. I am of the generation that learnt to write with a dip pen in kindergarten and a fountain pen in high school; by the time I reached university, like everyone else, I used a functional ballpoint. Handwriting has filled every aspect of my life since I was first taught to shape letters on the lined pages of my exercise books.
From the age of 12, I have kept a diary, recording my thoughts and feelings about both the significant and boring aspects of my life. Through this daily practice I connected with myself, explored experiences and found a way to interpret and make sense of my relationships. Although I rarely reread my written material, the process of writing has remained with me as a means of processing my feelings and filtering (过滤) my experiences.
Yet today, handwritten letters are as rare as a red panda. Few of us write letters any longer, even to those to whom we are close. We communicate differently when we e-mail or text, both methods characterized by speed and informality. The deep thinking, which came with a handwritten letter, is almost entirely absent. We may be communicating more frequently and with more people, but the depth and quality of our communication has reduced.
Sadly, modern technology tends to last for a limited time. Few of us keep old e-mails or even print them out, so a sense of history and memory is lost. Archivists
A. Last four miles of roads C. Personalities of roads
B. A stretch of hard road D. Beauty along the way
(档案管理者) report that more information has been lost in the past decade than in the previous 150 years. It is too easy to press the delete (删除) button.
In many other areas of records, material is now in the digital format (数字格式). Yet saving material in a digital format only is extremely unstable (不稳定的). How it will survive the future remains a problem.
In this digital world of text, e-mails and instant messaging (即时通讯), the value of writing is no longer clear and the case for keeping the practice of writing needs to be made. Should we save the pen and paper when laptops and mobiles are functional, common and unstoppable? Should children continue to be taught to write with a pen and paper?
With its passing, a good way of self-expression is being lost. I invite readers to use handwriting and become aware of this special skill that has created civilization for centuries.

As is interestingly depicted in the pictures, the two friends are sitting at the either side of the boat, enjoying each other’s company by chatting. However, when one is unwilling to share with the other his food, the two ends up in a fight, causing the boat to overturn.
Ridiculous as the pictures seem to be, for true friends, I think, are unlikely to break up for not sharing food, they do convey a message to us that friendship tends to be fragile unless maintained properly. There is no debating that we cannot live a fulfilled life without friends. But what is a true friend? As far as I am concerned, a true friend is simply a person who cares and is willing to patiently listen to my problems or lend me a shoulder to cry on in my times of trouble.
It is easier to make a friend than to keep one, so it is strongly suggested that we devote our time and energy to being with our friends, advising, comforting and supporting our friends whenever they are in need. Only thus can we strengthen our friendship.
录音原文 Text 1
W: Oh, no! I meant to call my mom, but it’s too late to call today.
M: Yeah. Your mom lives in London, not here in New York. They’re five hours ahead of us. So, it’s already midnight there. (1) Text 2
W: So, what did you end up doing this weekend? M: I went to see a Lady Gaga concert. She was amazing! W: Wow, those tickets were super expensive, right?
M: Nope. The show didn’t sell out, so they sold tickets at the door for half price just before the concert began. Sometimes it’s good to wait. (2) Text 3
M: I’ve been waiting for three weeks for someone to return Harry Potter to the library. I’m getting so impatient! (3) W: Why don’ t you just buy your own copy online? Text 4
M: It’s freezing out there!
W: Well, you’ve come to the right place. What can I get you today? M: Please give me the hottest drink you serve. (4) W: OK. One hot chocolate, coming right up. Text 5
W: I’m so stressed. I don’t know how to tell my boyfriend that I think we should break up when I go to Spain next year. M: Well, I think honesty is the best policy. (5) Text 6 (第6题为推断题)
M: Hey, Susie. Can I borrow your car tonight?
W: No! The last time you borrowed it, you returned it with the gas tank empty. M: Did I? I’m sorry, baby. I promise to fill the tank this time. W: What do you need it for?
M: I want to take my mom out to dinner. W: And I’m not invited?
M: You can come if you want. I thought you’d probably have plans with your friends. (7)
W: I do. But I’d rather go with you. Don’t you think it’s time for me to meet your mother?
M: OK, sure. Just don’t expect her to love you right away. She never thinks any girl is good enough for me. Text 7
M: What’s up? Are you still studying? W: Yeah, I’ll be at it all night. M: When’s the big test?
W: Not for three days. But I have too many things to remember before then. M: You’re taking this Spanish class so seriously. Don’t you think you should lighten up (放松，别紧张) a bit?
W: I can’t. Not only do I need to get good grades, but I also have to actually learn this stuff. Next year, I’m applying to a nursing program, and they give special financial help to students who speak two languages. (8) M: Come on. You’ll do fine. You always do fine. W: Only when I study hard.
M: OK. But can’t you take a little break? Hey, you should come get some fish with me. (9) You know, fish is actually very good for your brain. Text 8
M: How can I help you, ma’am?
W: I was hoping you could look at my car today. For the past few weeks, it has been making very strange noises. M: What kinds of noises?
W: It sounds as if something is being damaged in the wheels. It only happens when I’m slowing down.
M: Whoa… It sounds like you need new brakes. (10) You’ll have to leave the
car with us until tomorrow.
W: Gosh, I was thinking you’d be able to get it back to me this afternoon. M: Unfortunately, we need to order the parts, and we can’t get started until they arrive. (11) If I order them now, they’ll be here this afternoon, or tomorrow morning at the latest.
W: I see. Well, why don’t I just bring my car back in the morning? There’s a show I really want to see downtown tonight.
M: I don’t think that’s a good idea. You’re risking your life by driving this car. If I were you, I’d check the bus schedule. (12) Text 9
W: Hey, Paul. You’re still having Thanksgiving dinner at my house on Thursday, right? (13)
M: Yeah. Thanks again for the invitation. I was worried I’d have to spend it alone after my parents announced they’d be in Finland.
W: I think it’s strange that you’re not going with them. Is it because of the cold weather in Northern Europe? (14)
M: Not exactly. I have a lot of work to do next week. (14)
W: Well, I’m glad you won’t be alone on a holiday. It’ll be great to have you celebrate with us. The more the merrier! M: Exactly. How many people will be there?
W: Let’s see…my parents, my grandpa, my sister, my brother-in-law, my niece, and my two cousins…plus us. (15) So, ten people altogether. M: Should I bring anything? W: Nope. We’ve got it covered.
M: Come on. I hate to show up empty-handed. You are being so generous to have me. I know! I’ll bring pie. I’ll make a great pumpkin pie.
W: Sounds delicious, but my sister has already volunteered for dessert. Look, don’t worry about it. There will be tons of food: turkey, stuffing, green beans, sweet potatoes…
M: Wow, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it. How about this — I’ll bring
a nice bottle of wine. (16) You can never have too much of that. W: Well, isn’t that the truth? Sounds good to me. (16) Text 10
Although her name makes most people think of food and home decorating, Martha Stewart is an extremely successful American businesswoman whose talents have made her famous and rich. As a child, she was taught how to cook and sew by her mother, and how to garden by her father. As a teenager, she gained experience in event planning by organizing birthday parties for younger kids. However, it was not until she was thirty-five years old that she opened her own small business. The business was a food service company that prepared food for local parties and events. (17) A few years later, she published a cookbook featuring these recipes. The cookbook was a huge success, which led to her making television appearances. (18) Soon, Martha Stewart was a household name, and she eventually established a much larger company called Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
In 2002, Stewart got herself into trouble, and she was sentenced to five months in prison. (19) Some thought that this would ruin her career, but they were wrong. Since her release from prison in 2005, she has been remarkably successful. Her projects have included more cookbooks and television shows, and she has also developed and sold her own lines of home furniture, carpets, food, and wines. (20)
