Born in Germany in 1647, Merian was fond of insects, and she began collecting, studying and drawing them when she was as young as 13. It was through her study of caterpillar that she discovered the truth about their life cycles, and she went on to publish two volumes of naturalist research about the life cycles of insects.Ada LovelaceAda Lovelace, born in 1815, was the daughter of famous British poet Lord Byron, but she wasnt a poet herself. She was the worlds first computer programmer. Lovelace wrote some suggestions as to how to program “computing machines” to calculate a specific sequence of numbers. Besides this, she predicted them to do everything that could possibly be represented by a series of numbers, from producing images to composing music.Hedy LamarrShe was born in 1914 in Austria and moved to the United States in the hope of going after a film career. In 1942, in the midst of her Hollywood success, she and composer George Antheil received a patent for a device that could change radio signal frequencies. The purpose of the technology was to keep military enemiesespecially, the Nazis -from decoding (解码) messages. But it did more than that-it paved the way for much of the wireless technology we use today.56. What was Maria Sibylla Merians achievement?A. She became the worlds first woman naturist.B. She drew all kinds of insects when she was 13.C. She discovered the truth about butterflies cycles.D. She invented a device that could change radio signal frequencies.57. What can we learn about Hedy Lamarr from the passage?A. She was gifted in composing music.B. She shared a patent with another person.C. She was a computer programmer during World War . D. She was born in Germany and moved to the United States.58. What did these women have in common?A. They had affection for insects.B. They were famous computer progarmmers.C. They were born in Germany and moved to the USA.D. They were all great women that we might not learn about in history class.BThe other day I heard a few local musicians talking:“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cant even understand a bit of music.”“ Im never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and Im trying to find other places to play. Im also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”Ive heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitudes are important. Whether theyre positive or negative, theyre rubbing off on you. If youre around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim, chances are youll start to as well. So its time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and dont become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work youre looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.59.

The national leadership agreed to the network plan in July, saying the government will lead the monitoring, share information among departments and regions, and be held accountable (追究责任) if violations (违规行为) are found, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said on Tuesday. Satellites, a major tool for monitoring air pollution, will receive a boost (大力发展) this year. The ministry said it will accelerate research on two atmospheric environmental monitoring satellites. The ministry will improve a remote sensor network, guided by the goals of the 13th Five-Year Plan(2016-2020), which is scheduled to be released at the end of this year, according to the ministrys Environmental Supervision Department. Remote monitoring has played a bigger role in locating pollution sources. Drones helped authorities locate polluted areas in the Tengger Desert in northern China and identify scattered summer straw burnings. Hebei province, which has a serious air pollution problem, has cooperated with the ministrys Satellite Environment Center to conduct monitoring from satellites and monitoring stations since January last year. “We used the data from the centers satellites to forecast the movement of smog during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings in November, ”Zhang Feng, an engineer in the Environmental Supervision Department of the provincial environmental watchdog, said on Tuesday. Data collected from monitoring stations helped authorities provide accurate forecasts on hazy days during that period, he said. 63. Which of the following is true?A.

DChina is fondly remembering one of its most famous radio voices, a man whose vivid storytelling was a comfort to millions of people, from commuters stuck in traffic to restless teens struggling to sleep. Shan Tianfang, was a leading performer of the traditional Chinese art form pingshu, which translates as “storytelling“. Pingshu dates from the Song Dynasty (AD960-1279)when performers would entertain villagers by telling stories in a particularly emotive style. It remains particularly popular in north-eastern China. Performers wear traditional dress and use very basic props - often a folded fan and a gavel. Pingshu is sometimes performed in tea houses and small theatres, but many Chinese associate the art form with radio. And in a country where sleeping problems are commonplace, pingshu is still popular as a way of helping people to wind down at bedtime.Shan Tianfang was born in 1934 in Yingkou, in north-eastern Liaoning province. His family introduced him to folk arts from a young age and he began learning pingshu when he was 19. He became known in Liaoning for his work on stage and in local teahouses during the 1950s and 1960s, and performed in an art troupe around the region. From 1966-1976, Shan, along with other pingshu performers like Yuan Kuocheng, was forced to stop work. During the 1980s.Shan made the transition (转型) to state-run radio, and his captivating storytelling became comfort listening for people across the country. By the 1990s, Shan had become a well-known face on state TV, even performing in the annual Spring Festival Gala show. He has died aged 84 following a long illness.Shan performed over 12,000 stories on TV and radio. His stories attracted people of all ages. One of his most acclaimed performances is of the Heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He gave countless performances of the “Four Classic Novels” (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin) and also helped to bring lesser-known classical Chinese literature to new audiences.He was able to use the medium to entrance his audience and in the process he helped to popularise classical Chinese literature. As film director Zhang Jizhong told the Global Times newspaper: “He could describe a scene and a character extremely vividly. He once had a long talk with me about adapting the heroic stories he told into films or television shows to help promote Chinese classics and traditional culture.”But in his later years, the growth of online and digital media exposed the challenges of keeping his art form alive. Shan turned his efforts towards writing books and opening performance schools to teach pingshu to young people. They included the Shan Tianfang Culture and Media Academy in Beijing, a Shan Tianfang teahouse and “storytelling base” in Anshan in Liaoning province. Meanwhile, modern productions of pingshu reference (引用，参照) contemporary (现代的) culture to draw in new performers and audiences. Performers like Guo Heming have emerged, putting a modern spin on pingshu by adapting popular works, including the Harry Potter stories.Although he wasnt particularly active on social media, he amassed more than one million fans on the Sina Weibo platform. A memorial was held for him on 15 September but millions of Chinese will miss his voice.66. From the first paragraph, we know that _.A. Shan Tianfang has a sound voiceB. Shan Tianfang often helps the people who got caught in trafficC. Shan Tianfang is famous for storytelling on the radioD. Shan Tianfang gives medicine to teenagers who have trouble sleeping67. The second paragraphs tells us that pingshu _.A. is particularly popular in the east of China B. is still a way to help people struggling to sleep C. performers wear traditional dress and use a huge hammerD. is usually performed in tea houses and theatres68. The third paragraph is developed _.A. in order of placeB. in order of timeC. by giving examplesD. by making comparisons69. Besides the performance of the Heroes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Shan _.A. adapted the Harry Potter storiesB. was particularly active on the Sina Weibo platformC. founded the Shan Tianfang Culture and Media Academay in his home townD. brought the “Four Classic Novels” to new audiences70. What can we infer from the passage?A. Shan made great contributions to spreading Chinese cultureB. Yuan Kuocheng, Zhang Jizhong and Guo Heming are pingshu performers.C. Shan has passed away, and so have his voice and his worksD. The growth of online and digital media helps pingshu develop quickly.第四部分：任务型阅读（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分）请阅读短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。Why Is Recycling Important?When you throw things away, you might be very glad to do it. Unfortunately, thats not the end of the story. The things we throw away have to go somewhereusually they go off to be buried underground in a landfill (垃圾填埋) or burnt in an incinerator (焚化炉). Landfills can be terribly polluting. They look awful, they smell terrible, they take up space that could be used for better things, and they sometimes create harmful soil and water pollution that can kill fish in our rivers and seas.One of the worst things about landfills is that theyre wasting a huge amount of useful material. It takes a lot of energy and a lot of resources to make things, and when we throw those things in a landfill, at the end of their lives, were also saying goodbye to all the energy an
