Fluid intelligence is the type of intelligence that has to do with short-term memory and the ability to think quickly, logically, and abstractly in order to solve new problems. It l in young adulthood, levels out for a period of time, and then 2 starts to slowly decline as we age. But 3 aging is inevitable, scientists are finding out that certain changes in brain function may not be. One study found that muscle 1oss and the 4 of body fat around the abdomen are associated with a decline in fluid intelligence. This suggests the 5 that lifestyle factors might help prevent or 6 this type of decline.

The researchers looked at data that 7 measurements of lean muscle and abdominal fat from more than 4,000 middle-to-older-aged men and women and 8 that data to reported changes in fluid intelligence over a six-year period. They found that middle-aged people 9 higher measures of abdominal fat 10 worse on measures of fluid intelligence as the years 11 .For women, the association may be 12

to changes in immunity that resulted from excess abdominal fat; in men, the immune system did not appear to be 13 . It is hoped that future studies could 14 these differences and perhaps lead to different

How can Britain's train operators possibly justify yet another increase to rail passenger fares?

It has become a grimly reliable annual ritual: every January the cost of travelling by train rises,

imposing a significant extra burden on those who have no option but to use the rail network to get

to work or otherwise. This year' s rise an average of 2.7 percent, maybe a faction lower than last

year’s, but it is still well above the official Consumer Price Ind-er (CPI) measure of inflation.

Successive governments have permitted such increases on the grounds that the cost of

investing in and running the rail network. Should be borne by those who use it, rather than the

general taxpayer. Why, the argument goes, should a car-driving pensioner from Lincoln-shire have

to subscribe the daily commute of a stockbroker from survey? Equally, there is a sense that the

travails of commuters in the south East, many of whom will face among the biggest rises, have

received too much attention compared to those who must endure the relativity poor infrastructure

of the Mid lands and the North.

However, over the past 12 months, those commuters have also experienced some of the worst

rail strikes in years. It is all very well train operators trumpeting the improvements they are

making to the network, but passengers should be able to expect a basic level of service for the

substantial sums they are now paying to travel. The responsibility for the test wave of strikes rests on the wines. However, there is a strong case that those who have been worst affected by

industrial action should receive compensation for the disruption they have suffered. The Government has pledged to change the law to introduce a minimum service requirement,

so that even when strikes occur services can continue to operate. This should from part of a wider

package of measures to address the long-running problems on Britain’s railways. Yes, more

investment is needed ,but passengers will not be willing to pay more indefinitely if they must also

endure cramped, unreliable services interrupted by regular chaos when time tables are changed, or

planned maintenance is managed incompetently. They threat of nationalization may have been

seen off for now, but it will return with a vengeance if the justified anger of passengers is not

addressed in short order.

21. The author holds that this year's increase in rail passenger fares [A] has kept pace with inflation. [B] is a big surprise to commuters. [C] remains an unreasonable measure. [D] will ease train operators burden. 答案:C

22. The stockbroker in Paragraph 2 is used to stand for

[A] rail travelers. [B] car drivers. [C] local investors. [D]ordinary taxpayers. 答案:A

23. It is indicated in Paragraph 3 that train operators [A] have suffered huge losses owing to the strikes. [B] have failed to provide an adequate service. [C] are offering compensation to commuters.

[D] are trying to repair relations with the unions 答案:B

24. If unable to calm down passengers, the railways may have to face [A] the loss of investment. [B] the collapse of operations. [C] a reduction of revenue. [D] a change of ownership. 答案:D

25. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? [A] Who Are to Blame for the Strikes? [B] Constant Complaining Doesn't Work [C] Can Nationalization Bring Hope?

[D] Ever-rising Fares Aren't Sustainable 答案:D Text 2

Last year marked the third year in a row that Indonesia's bleak rate deforestation has slowed

in pace. One reason for the turnaround may be the country 's antipoverty program. In 2007, Indonesia started phasing in a program that gives money to its poorest residents

under certain conditions, such as requiring people to keep kids in school or get regular medical

care. Called conditional cash transfers or CCTs, these social assistance programs are designed to

reduce inequality and break the cycle of poverty. They are already used in dozens of countries

worldwide. In Indonesia, the programme has provided enough food and medicine to substantially

reduce severe growth problems among children.

But the CCT programs don't generally consider effects on the environment. In fact, poverty alleviation and environmental protection are often viewed as conflicting goals, says Paul Ferraro,

an economist at Johnns Hopkins University.

That's because economic growth can be correlated with environmental degradation, while

protecting the environment is sometimes correlated with greater poverty. However, those

correlations don' t prove cause and effect, The only previous study analyzing causality, based on

an area in Mexico that had instituted CCTs, supported the traditional view. There, as people got

more money, some of them may have more cleared land for cattle to raise for meat, Ferraro says.

Such programs do not have to negatively affect the environment, though. Ferraro wanted to

see if Indonesia's poverty-alleviation program was affecting deforestation. Indonesia has the

third-largest area of tropical forest in the world and one of the highest deforestation rates.

Ferraro analyzed satellite data showing annual forest loss from 2008 to 2012 - including

during Indonesia's phase in of the antipoverty program - in 7,468 forested villages across 15

provinces. “We see that the program is associated with a 30 percent reduction in deforestation,” Farrow says.

That's likely because the rural poor are using the money as makeshift insurance policies

against inclement weather, Ferraro says. Typically. if rains are delayed, people may clear land to

plant more rice to supplement their harvest. With the CCTs, individuals instead can use the money

to supplement their harvests.

Whether this research translates elsewhere is anybody's guess. Farrow suggests the results

may transfer to other parts of Asia, due to commonalities such as the importance of growing rice

and market access. And regardless of transferability, the study shows that what's good for people

may also be good for the environment. Even if this program didn't reduce poverty. Ferraro says,

“the value of the avoided deforestation just for carbon dioxide emissions alone is more than the program costs”

26. According to the first paragraph, CCT programmes aim to _____. [A] Facilitate health-care reform [B] help poor families get better off

[C] Improve local education systems [D] lower deforestation rates 答案:B

27. The study based on an area in Mexico excited to show that _____. [A] cattle raising has been a major livelihood for the poor [B] CCT programs have helped preserve traditional lifestyles

[C] antipoverty efforts require the participation of local farmers [D] economic growth tends to cause environmental degradation 答案:D

28. In his study about Indonesia, Farrow intends to find out _____. [A] its acceptance level of CCTs

[B] its annual rate of poverty alleviation [C] the relation of CCTs to its forest loss [D] the role of its forests in climate change 答案:C

29. According to Ferraro, the CCT program in Indonesia is valuable in that _____. [A] it will benefit other Asian countries [B] it will reduce regional inequality [C] it can protect the environment [D] it can benefit grain production 答案:A

30. What is the text centred on? [A] The effects of a program. [B] The debates over a program. [C] The process of a study.

[D]The transfer ability of a study. 答案:A Text 3

As a historian who's always searching for the text or the image that makes us re-evaluate the

past, I've become preoccupied with looking for photographs that show our Victorian ancestors

smiling (what better way to shatter the image of 19th- century prudery?). I've found quite a few, and - since I started posting them on Twitter 一 they have been causing quite a stir. People have

been surprised to see evidence that Victorians had fun and could, and did, laugh. They are noting

that the Victorians suddenly seem to become more human as the hundred-or -So years that

separate us fade away through our common experience of laughter.

Of course, I need to concede that my collection of ‘Smiling Victorians' makes up only a tiny

percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900, the

majority of which show sitters posing miserably and stiffly in front of painted backdrops, or

staring absently into the middle distance. How do we explain this trend?

During the 1840s and 1850s, in the early days of photography, exposure times were notoriously long: the daguerreotype photographic method (producing an image on a silvered

copper plate) could take several minutes to complete,resulting in blurred images as sitters shifted

position or adjusted their limbs. The thought of holding a fixed grin as the camera performed its magical duties was too much to contemplate, and so a non-committal blank stare became the norm.

But exposure times were much quicker by the 1 880s, and the introduction of the Box Brownie and other portable cameras meant that, though slow by today's digital standards, the

exposure was almost instantaneous. Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 10s, so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile. One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy grin. “Nature gave

us lips to conceal our teeth.” ran one popular Victorian maxim, alluding to the fact that before the birth of proper dentistry mouths were often in a shocking state of hygiene. A flashing set of

healthy and clean, regular “pearly whites” was a rare sight in Victorian society, the preserve of the

super- rich (and even then, dental hygiene was not guaranteed).

A toothy grin (especially when there were gaps or blackened gnashers) lacked class: drunks,

tramps and music hall performers might gurn and grin with a smile as wide as Lewis Carroll's

gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly bred persons. Even Mark

Twain,a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh, said that when it came to photographic portraits there

could be “nothing more damning than a silly, foolish smile fixed forever”. 31. According to paragraph 1, the author's posts on Twitter ______. A. illustrated the development of Victorian photography B. highlighted social media's tole in Victorian studies C. re-evaluated the Victorian's notion of public image

D. changed people's impression of the Victorians. 答案:D

32. What does the author say about the Victorian portraits he has collected? A. They are rare among photograph of that age B. They show effect of different exposure times C. They mirror 19th-century social conventions D. They are in popular use among historians 答案:A

33. What might have kept the Victorians from smiling pictures in the 10s? A. Their inherent social sensitiveness B. Their tension before the camera C. Their unhealthy dental condition D. Their distrust of new inventions 答案:C

34. Mark Twain is quoted to show that the disapproval of smiles in pictures was ______.

A. a thought-provoking idea B. a misguide attitude C. a controversial vies D. a deep-rotted belief 10

答案:D

35. Which of the following questions does the text answer? A. Why did most Victorians look stem in photographs?

B. When did the Victorians start to view photograph differently? C. What made photograph develop slowly in the Victorian period? D. How did smiling in photograph become a post-Victorian norm? 答案:A Text 4

From the early days of broadband advocates for consumers and Web-based companies worried that the cable and phone companies selling broadband connections had the power and

incentive to favor affiliated websites over their rivals. That's why there has been such a strong

demand for rules that would prevent broadband providers from picking winners and losers online,

preserving the freedom and innovation from what have been the lifeblood of the Internet.

Yet that demand has been almost impossible to fl- in part because of push-back from broadband providers anti -regulatory conservatives and the courts. A federal appeals court

unchanged in again. Tuesday, but instead of providing a badly needed resolution. It only

prolonged the fight. At issue before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the dirtiness of Columbia Court

was the latest take of the Federal Communications (FCC) om net neutrality, adopted on a party

-line vote in 2017. The publican penned order not only eliminated the strict net neutrality rules the

FCC had adopted. When it had a democratic majority in2015. But rejected the commission's

authority. To require broadband providers to do much of anything. The order also declared that

state and local governments couldn't regulate broadband providers either.

The Commission argue that other agencies would protect against anti-competitive behavior,

such as a broadband-providing conglornerable like ATRT favors its own video- stressing service at

the expense of Notfish and Appie TO caps on their rivals streaming services but not their own.

On Tuesday. the appeals court. Unanimously upheld the 2017 order deregulating broadband. provides citing a Supreme Court ruling from 2005 that upheld a similarly deregulating more. But

Judge. Patricia Millett rightly argued in a concurring opinion that \"the result is unhinged from the realities of modem broadband service”, and said Congress on the Supreme Court could intervene

to avoid trapping Internet regulations in technological.

In the meantime, the court threw out the FCC’s attempt to block all state rules. On not

neutrality, while preserving the Commission's power to prompt individual going on between the

Justice Department and California when enacted a tough net neutrally laws in the world of the

FCC's abdication.

The endless legal battles and back- and -forth at the FCC cry out for Congress to act. It needs to give the commission explicit authority once and for all to bar broadband providers from

meddling in the traffic on their network and to create clear rules protecting openness and

innovation online.

36. There has long been concern that broadband providers would A. bring web-based firms under control B. show partiality in treating clients C. slow down the traffic on their network

D. intensify competition with their rivals 答案:B

37. Faced with the demand for net neutrality rules, the FCC A. takes an anti-regulatory stance B. sticks to an out-of-date order C. has issued a special resolution D. has allowed the states to intervene 答案:B

38. What can be learned about AT&T from Paragraph 3? A. It engages in anti- competitive practices B. It protects against unfair competition C. It is under the FCC' s investigation D. It is in pursuit of quality service 答案:A

39. Judge Patricia Millett argues that the appeals court's decision A. focuses on trivialities

B. conveys an ambiguous message. C is out of touch with reality

D. is at odds with its earlier rulings. 答案:C

40.What does the author argue in the last paragraph? A. Broadband providers' rights should be protected. B. The FCC should be put under strict supervision C. Rules need to be set to diversify online services

D. Congress needs to take action t0 ensure net neutrality. 答案:D Part B

In the movies and on television, artificial intelligence (AI) is typically depicted as something

sinister that will upend our way of life. When it comes to AI in business, we often hear about it in relation to automation and the impending loss of jobs, but in what ways is AI changing companies

and the larger economy that don't involve doom-and-gloom mass unemployment predictions?

A recent survey of manufacturing and service industries from Tata Consultancy Services

found that companies currently use AI more often in computer-to-computer activities than in

automating human activities. Here are a few ways AI is aiding companies without replacing employees:

Better hiring practices

Companies are using artificial intelligence to remove some of the unconscious bias from

hiring decisions. “There are experiments that show that, naturally, the results of interviews are

much more biased than what AI does,” says Pedro Domingos, author of The Master Algorithm:

How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World and a computer science professor at the University of Washington. In addition, “(41)________” One company

that's doing this is called Blendoor. It uses analytics to help identify where there may be bias in the hiring process

More effective marketing

Some AI software can analyze and optimize marketing email subject lines to increase open

rates. One company in the UK, Phrasee, claims their software can outperform humans by up to 10

percent when it comes to email open rates. This can mean millions more in revenue. (42)_______

These are “tools that help people use data, not a replacement for people,” says Patrick H. Winston,

a professor of artificial intelligence and computer science at MIT. Saving customers money Energy companies can use AI to help customers reduce their electricity bills, saving them

money while helping the environment. Companies can also optimize their own energy use and cut

down on the cost of electricity. Insurance companies, meanwhile, can base their premiums on AI

models that more accurately assess risk. Domingos says, “(43)________” Improved accuracy

“Machine leaning often provides a more reliable form of statistics, which makes data more

valuable,” says Winston. It “helps people make smarter decisions.”(44)________ Protecting and maintaining infrastructure

A number of companies, particularly in energy and transportation, use AI image processing

technology to inspect infrastructure and prevent equipment failure or leaks before they happen. “If

they fail first and then you fix them, it's very expensive,” says Domingos. “(45)________”

A. AI replaces the boring parts of your job. If you're doing research, you can have AI go out and look for relevant sources and information that otherwise you just wouldn't have time for.

B. There are also companies like Acquisio, which analyzes advertising performance across

multiple channels like Adwords, Bing and social media and makes adjustments or suggestions

about where advertising funds will yield best results.

C. One accounting firm, EY, uses an AI system that helps review contracts during an audit. This

process, along with employees reviewing the contracts, is faster and more accurate. D. We're also giving our customers better channels versus picking up the phone to accomplish

something beyond human scale. E. You want to predict if something needs attention now and point to where it's useful for

employees to go to.

F. AI looks at resumes in greater numbers than humans would be able to, and selects the more

promising candidates.

G. Before, they might not insure the ones who felt like a high risk or charge them too much, or

they would charge them too little and then it would cost the company money. 【答案】 41. F 42. B 43. G 44. C 45. E 【解析】 Part C

World War II was the watershed event for higher education in modern Western societies.

(46)Those societies came out of the war with levels of enrollment that had been roughly constant

at 3-5% of the relevant age groups during the decades before the war. But after the war, great

social and political changes arising out of the successful war against Fascism created a growing

demand in European and American economies for increasing numbers of graduates with more

than a secondary school education. (47) And the demand that rose in those societies for entry to

higher education extended to groups and social classes that had not thought of attending a

university before the war. These demands resulted in a very rapid expansion of the systems of

higher education, beginning in the 1960s and developing very rapidly (though unevenly) during

the 1970s and 1980s.

The growth of higher education manifests itself in at least three quite different ways, and

these in turn have given rise to different sets of problems. There was first the rate of growth: (48)

In many counties of Western Europe, the numbers of students in higher education doubled within

five-year periods during the 1960s and doubled again in seven, eight, or 10 years by the middle of

the 1970s. Second, growth obviously affected the absolute size both of systems and individual

institutions. And third, growth was reflected in changes in the proportion of the relevant age group

enrolled in institutions of higher education. Each of these manifestations of growth carried its own peculiar problems in its wake. For

example, a high growth rate placed great strains on the existing structures of governance, of

administration, and above all of socialization. When a faculty or department grows from, say, five

to 20 members within three or four years, (49) and when the new staff predominantly young men

and women fresh from postgraduate study, they largely define the norms of academic life in that

faculty, And if the postgraduate student population also grows rapidly and there is loss of a close

apprenticeship relationship between faculty members and students, the student culture becomes

the chief socializing force for new postgraduate students, with consequences for the intellectual

and academic life of the institution this was seen in America as well as in France, Italy, West

Germany, and Japan. (50)High growth rates increased the chances for academic innovation; they

also weakened the forms and processes by which teachers and students are admitted into a

community of scholars during periods of stability or slow growth. In the 1960s and 1970s, European universities saw marked changes in their governance arrangements, with the empowerment of junior faculty and to some degree of students as well. 46.【解析】1.這句話主干為 Those societies came out of the war. 2. with levels of enrollment 昰介賓短語做狀語;

今年考研英語一得小做文應該說非常簡單,因為正昰跨考老師在課堂上多次強調得書信 類中得建議信。 給外國朋友提出有關于在中國找工做方面得建議。 建議信得考頻無疑昰考研

歷年真題中考頻最高得。 分別在英一 2007 年、 2009 年、 2012 年、 2014 年,以及英二 2011

年、 2016 年、 2019 年和 2020 年全都有涉及考察建議信得常用英語寫法。 例如:給學校圖書 館提建議、 給學校校長提建議加強學生身體素質、 給報社編輯寫關于白色污染得建議信、 給

留學生寫關于大學生活得建議信、 給親屬寫如何準備大學生活得建議信、 給好朋友寫如何學

習翻譯得建議信等等。 只要學生們在考前有充分練習曾經(jīng)考過得這些篇建議信真題,那么今

年考場上一定會發(fā)揮得又快又好！還昰那句話,搞定歷年真題,做文就足夠了 ！

寫做時,按照一般順序。 第一段寫信目得;第二段具體給出擬定得討論話題并給出理由 和討論得安排;第三段表達客套性內容和期待。 本文得三段內容可以這樣安排:第一段第一 句寫問候語與好久不見得朋友寒暄并表示對他即將來中國表示自己得愉快心情,第二句則直 奔主題給他提出幾條關于在中國找工做得建議。 第二段則具體羅列建議,例如準備一份實用

得簡歷,寫簡歷時要注意簡潔明了 。 同時為了 給面試官一個良好第一印象,建議他要展現(xiàn)出

一個良好得個人形象。 最后可讓他也了 解到中國得企業(yè)很喜歡有工做實踐經(jīng)歷得員工。 最后

第三段表示希望自己得建議能夠對他有幫助,同時祝福他能有個好運氣,未來事業(yè)上能有成 功得表現(xiàn)。 當然還可以寫歡迎他來中國得歡迎語并表示你對他來中國得期待。 因為小做文不需要太講究辭藻,字數(shù)也不宜過多,只要能將提綱要點表達清楚和完整, 不出現(xiàn)語言、 格式和語域得錯誤,就昰一篇合格得小做文了 。 把更多得精力花在大做文上才

昰明智得策略。 下面附加小做文得范文以供同學們參考。 參考范文:

Dear John,

How are you getting along these days? I am very glad to hear that you are coming to China,

and I would like to offer you several proposals on how to find a job in China. First and foremost, it is imperative for you to prepare a functional resume in Chinese. It

would be beneficial if your resume could be specific and brief. Remember that “brevity is the best

policy.” For the sake of making a wonderful first impression, may I suggest you show

your good personal stature. What’s more, it is helpful for you to know that Chinese companies

prefer employees with some hands-on experience.

I hope that you will find my suggestions helpful. I wish you have good luck and make a great

success in your future career. Yours, Li Ming Part B

參考范文:

Emerging from the cartoon is an eye-catching scene that a frustrated boy, wearing a suit of

opera costume, is complaining that his classmates do not like his show because they think it is too

boring. His father, however, is encouraging his son to stick to his interests. The author of the

cartoon invites us to focus on a truth that we are not supposed to blindly follow or obey others’

opinions but stick with yourself.

This picture underscores the significant role that the being yourself plays in our daily life. In

reality, sticking with yourself not only constantly facilities the healthy growth of our mindset,

making it more likely for us to become winners in in a particular field. If you are yourself at work,

you will either thrive or wither, and if you wither chances are that you are in the wrong place to

begin with. Thus, as long as you carry on doing what feels right, it will all turn out right.

When it comes to being yourself, there can be a lot of pressure from the outside world as it

tries to influence who you are. But please remember that you can do the right thing regardless of

what others are doing. Be who you are, and never ever apologize for that!
