It can be seen from the graph that the rate of car accidents in Walton City experienced rises and falls in 1990. From January to March last year it increased by 45%. From March to June it dropped by about half the previous rate. From June to August there was a steep rise of 50%. After that, however, there was a steady decrease.
There are several reasons for this improvement, but the following are the most critical ones. First, new traffic regulations have made drivers more careful. Second, more people are using bicycles for transportation. Finally, in the later part of the year good weather made the roads safer to drive on.
I am confident that there will be even fewer car accidents in Walton in the future. First, major roads have been repaired and the number of public buses has been increased in the past few months. Moreover, a traffic safety campaign has made all the local people more aware of the dangers of unsafe driving.

森林王国要举办才艺大赛，小动物们纷纷认真准备起来。
一天，小猴偷偷地在小兔的窗户边看小兔在学写作。他想：我也学。小猴回到家，拿起作文本写了起来。刚写两句话，就觉得没话可说了，小猴说：“写作文怎么这么难，不学了！”
突然小猴听到喇叭声，真好听。小猴自言自语地说：“我还是学吹喇叭吧。”小猴给自己买了一个喇叭，吹了起来。刚吹两天，小猴觉得腮帮子疼了，说：“这个也太难，不学了。”喇叭被扔在角落里再也没动过。
又一天，小猴在外散步，看见小鹿跑得真快。小猴心动了，说：“我也学跑步。”小猴撒腿就跑，跑了一两圈就累得气喘吁吁。小猴又不学了。
才艺大赛那天，小兔、小熊、还有小鹿他们都得到了金灿灿的奖牌，而小猴却两手空空，他后悔极了。

Questions 15-17 (Suggested completion time: 6 minutes)
Directions: Read the text about a science discovery. Answer the questions according to the text.
Manipulating Memory
Memory is notoriously malleable. Our recollections fade and take on new meanings; sometimes we remember things that never even happened. But 15 .
Recently, however, scientists have started to grasp and tinker with memory's physical basis. Last year, in work evocative of films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Inception, researchers discovered ways to manipulate specific memories in mice using optogenetics, a powerful technique that can trigger nerve cells in animals' brains by zapping them with beams of laser light. In a series of experiments, they showed that they could delete existing memories and xxxinceptxxx false ones.
This year, researchers went even further: switching the emotional content of a memory in mice from bad to good and vice versa. Under the laser, for example, male mice that had once associated a certain room with being shocked were tricked into acting as though they had once met friendly female mice there instead.
Whether the mice in these experiments actually experienced vivid false memories or just a fuzzy sense of pleasure or fear is unclear. Nor is it clear whether the findings apply to the tricks of memory so familiar to people. Long-sought therapeutic advances, such as treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder, could remain far off. One thing is certain, however: Once considered beyond scientific dissection, memory is finally starting to yield its secrets.
15. Which of the following best fits the numbered space in the text?
A. what is really happening in our brain as memories are remodeled remains mysteriousB. scientists are curious about why people are oblivious to what have happened to themC. advanced technology has helped scientists discover the workings of our brainD. some scientists argue that what we observe about human memory is not what it really is
16. The word xxxinceptxxx is closest in meaning to ________.
A. operateB. startC. detectD. occupy
17. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?
A. People's false memories result from the impact of different emotion provoked by later experience on the same . The success in research indicates that it won't be long that a therapy is worked out for people disturbed by painful . By zapping the brain cells of mice with light, researchers are able to create, erase, or alter their memories, good or . Many fancy ideas in science fictions or movies that are based on them actually draw greatly upon scientific achievement.
Questions 18-19 (Suggested completion time: 4 minutes)
Directions: Read the text about cholera. Decide whether the statements are True or False according to the text.
A child receives the oral cholera vaccine Shanchol
Cholera is caused by a bacterial infection of the intestine. Approximately one in 20 people infected with cholera has a serious case, with symptoms including severe diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. These symptoms quickly cause dehydration and shock, and can result in death within hours if the infected person doesn't receive treatment. Cholera is typically transmitted by contaminated food or water. In areas with poor treatment of sewage and drinking water, the feces of people with cholera can enter the water supply and spread quickly, resulting in an epidemic. The cholera bacterium may also live in the environment in some coastal waters, so shellfish eaten raw can be a source of cholera in affected areas.
18. Cholera is known to be a life-threatening disease which easily causes death of most of the ( ) False ( )
19. Cholera typically occurs in areas near the sea or the river where contaminated food is a major source of the ( ) False ( )

Teaching Machines to Read and Comprehend
Authors: K. M. Hermann, T. Kočiský, E. Grefenstette, L. Espeholt, W. Kay, M. Suleyman, P. Blunsom
Published: NIPS 20_
Abstract: Teaching machines to read natural language documents remains an elusive challenge. Machine reading systems can be tested on their ability to answer questions posed on the contents of documents that they have seen, but until now large scale training and test datasets have been missing for this type of evaluation. In this work we define a new methodology that resolves this bottleneck and provides large scale supervised reading comprehension data. This allows us to develop a class of attention based deep neural networks that learn to read real documents and answer complex questions with minimal prior knowledge of language structure.
20. Previous studies didn't take constant effort to evaluate the reading ability of artificial intelligence machines, which was why the present research was ( ) False ( )21. One implication of the research is that a methodology that helps gather and handle big data is indispensable to artificial intelligence related ( ) False ( )
Questions 22-23 (Suggested completion time: 6 minutes)
Directions: Read the text about the xxxThink smallxxx advertising campaign. Answer the questions according to the text.
Think Small
If you're interested in marketing and advertising, Volkswagen's xxxThink smallxxx campaign for the Beetle when it was first introduced to North America in 1959 looms large as one of the greatest advertising campaigns of all time. It wasn't just a revolution in automotive advertising; it changed the entire industry.
Until the Beetle hit the market, automotive marketing copy was full of bluster, and the images were flights of fancy, emphasizing low, long lines and a fantasy lifestyle.
The clean, simple photography on a white background that emphasized the Beetle's compact, practical form may seem commonplace these days, but it was a revolution in a world where Americans grew up obsessed with muscle cars, horsepower, and tire smoke. Making the car small, when the convention was to make it fill the page, was also novel. The simplistic approach to design and layout was totally contrary to the advertising conventions of the time.
__ __22_____ The text was minimalist in both look and content, presenting the facts simply instead of trying to weave tall tales and fantasies; and instead of bluster, it ushered in an intelligent sense of humor that made readers feel like they were in on the joke. The message was one of smart anti-luxury, and took gentle aim at an industry obsessed with superficiality and styling, rather than the substance underneath the car bodies.
Not only does xxxThink smallxxx continue to inspire Volkswagen advertising to this day, it ushered in a creative revolution in the advertising business and changed the world of marketing forever. xxxThink smallxxx showed the power of humor and honesty, and its photographic and design principles brought about a major shift in the look and feel of marketing around the world.
22. Which of the sentences below best fits the numbered space in the text?
A. What defined the ad even more than its visual style was the tone of its . This ad starts off doing the exact opposite of what you would expect in a car . This was an exercise in minimalism and a very accurate reflection on the product . The car wasn't depicted as an integral piece of the daily lives of a middle class family.
23. It can be inferred that the advertising conventions of the 1950s were reflected in the following except that ___________.
A. The ads in the 1950s typically showed proud owners and passengers evoking great joy about new shiny big . The marketing concept then focused on providing as much information as possible to the reader such as the way it's . The marketing schemes associated the advertised product with an idea or a way of living from average consumers' . The marketing practice may attach importance to a sense of humor brought by the use of exaggerated language.
Questions 24-25 (Suggested completion time: 4 minutes)
Directions: Read the following six remarks concerning the crowd. Four of them are taken from Gustave Le Bon's book, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind. Choose the two remarks that may NOT be taken from the book.
24-25. _______
The Crowd
A. In crowds it is stupidity and not mother wit that is . Crowds most envy the lonely man who walks confidently as if he is walking with the great crowds!C. A crowd is not merely impulsive and mobile. Like a savage, it is not prepared to admit that anything can come between its desire and the realization of its . I walked with them, as crowds have that effect on me, I want to do what they do, to journey towards some point of revelation, which of course never . Crowds, being incapable both of reflection and of reasoning, are devoid of the notion of improbability; and it is to be noted that in a general way it is the most improbable things that are the most . …the individual forming part of a crowd acquires, solely from numerical considerations, a sentiment of invincible power which allows him to yield to instincts which, had he been alone, he would perforce have kept under restraint.
Questions 26-28 (Suggested completion time: 5 minutes)
Directions: Read the text about a fly. Answer the questions according to the text.
The Fly
At that moment the boss noticed that a fly had fallen into his broad inkpot, and was trying feebly but desperately to clamber out again. xxxHelp! Help!xxx said those struggling legs. But the sides of the inkpot were wet and slippery; it fell back again and began to swim. The boss took up a pen, picked the fly out of the ink, and shook it on to a piece of blotting-paper. For a fraction of a second it lay still on the dark patch that oozed round it. Then the front legs waved, took hold, and, pulling its small, sodden body up, it began the immense task of cleaning the ink from its wings. Over and under, over and under, went a leg along a wing, as the stone goes over and under the scythe.
