Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said Dylan had been chosen because he was a great poet in the English speaking tradition. Dylan, born on May 24, 1941 is an American songwriter, singer, artist, and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s. Early songs such as Tangled up in Blue, Blowing in the Wind and The Times Are a-Changing became anthems(颂歌) for the American civil fights and anti-war movements. Leaving behind his initial base in the American folk music revival (复兴), his six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone, recorded in 1965, enlarged the range of popular music Dylans lyrics(歌词) include a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary features. His recording career, spanning more than 50 years, has explored the traditions in American song-from folk, blues, and country to rock and roll, and rockabilly to English, Scottish, and Irish folk music, embracing even jazz and the Great American Songbook. Dylan performs with guitar, keyboards, and harmonica. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour. His acplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution. Since 1994, Dylan has published six books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries. As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award，and an Academy Award. In May 2012, Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.24.

Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show. The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth. More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons that are traditionally used to serve desserts. Color contrast was also an important factor-white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter than white yoghur tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest. “How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and the feasting of our eyes,”said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “ Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic(美食的)experiences at restaurants,” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “Theres a lot more to food than whats on the plate. Many things we thought didnt matter do. Were going to see a lot more of neuroscience(神经科学)design around mealtimes.”28. According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is .A. salty B. sour C. sweet D. bitter29. What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3?A. It is important for people. B. People usually dont care about it. C. It affects how the food tastes. D. It is always different from peoples expectation. 30. What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. ing from the senses. B. Involving many different senses. C. Able to feel or perceive. D. Easily affected by other feelings. 31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Research on cutlery is of great importance. B. Research on food will be continued in the future. C. Research on the effect of nerves on the taste of food will be done. D. Research on plates and food will be carried out in the near future.DOumuamua, an object falling through space that was discovered on October 19th, has already made history. The speed at which it is moving relative to the sun means that it cannot be native to the solar system. Its official name is thus 1I/2017 U1, with the “ I” standing for “interstellar(星际)the first time this name has ever been used.That is exciting. Some scientists, though, entertain an even more exciting possibility what if Oumuamua is not an asteroid(小行星), as most think, but an alien(外星的) spacecraft? Asteroids e in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but Oumuamua seems particularly different. As best as astronomers can tell, it is cigarlike, being roughly 180 meters long but only about 30 meters wide. That makes it longer than anything known of in the solar system. Such a shape would be a sensible choice for spaceship, since it would minimize the scouring(冲刷)effect of interstellar dust.With that in mind, the Breakthrough Listen project, an organization aimed at hunting for alien life, plans to turn the worlds biggest radio telescope, the Green Bank instrument in Virginia, towards Oumuamua to see if it can hear anything interesting. Oumuamua is currently about twice as far from Earth as Earth is from the sun. At that range, the telescope should be sensitive enough to pick up a transmitter about as powerful as a mobile phone after just a few seconds-worth of observations.Will it find anything? Almost certainly not. Oumuamua has the same reddish color as many asteroids, so probably has a similar position. And if it really is a spaceship, it is strange that signs of its artificial origin have not been seen already. It could, in theory, be a derelict(遗弃星球). But in that case the telescope is unlikely to hear anything. By far the most likely option is that it is exactly what it seems to be: a huge space rock, one that has e to the solar system from the vast space between the stars. 32. What makes some scientists think Oumuamua is possibly an alien spacecraft?A. Its size. B. Its color. C. Its shape. D. Its speed. 33. What does the underlined word “that” in the third paragraph probably mean?A. The research into the solar system. B. The purpose of hunting for alien life. C. The effect of interstellar dust on Oumuamua. D. The possibility of Oumuamua being a spaceship. 34. What is Oumuamua most likely to be according to the author?A. An asteroid. B. A space rock. C. Interstellar dust. D. An alien spacecraft. 35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A. Oumuamua will return to where its from soonB. Oumuamuas real identity remains to be found outC. astronomers have not seen signs of Oumuamuas artificial originD. the Green Bank telescope has already heard something from Oumuamua第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Test anxiety can be a real problem if youre so stressed out over a test that you can t get past the nervousness to focus the test questions and do your best work. Feeling ready to meet the challenge can keep test anxiety at a manageable level. Be prepared. Some students think that going to class is all it takes to do well on tests. 36 You will find your test anxiety eases when you start to study more regularly. The reason is that the more you know the material, the more confident youll feel. Having confidence going into a test means you expect to do well. Watch what youre thinking. If expecting to do well in a test can help you relax, what about if you expect you wont do well? 37 They can contribute to your anxiety. If you find yourself having these thoughts, replace them with positive ones. Not unrealistic positive message, of course, but ones practical and true. Accept mistakes. Another thing you can do is to learn to keep mistakes in view- especially if you are a perfectionist or you tend to be hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, and you may have heard teachers refer to mistakes as learning opportunities. 38 39 If sitting for a test gets you so stressed out that your mind goes blank and causes you to miss answers that you know, then your level of test anxiety probably needs some attention. Your teacher or your school guidance counselor(顾问)can be good people to talk to. Take care of yourself. For some people, this might mean learning a simple breathing exercise. Practice breathing exercise regularly when you feel stressed. 40 Then you can calm yourself down and get centered. A. Ask for help.B. Learn to praise yourself.C. This helps your body receive a signal to relax.D. But good study habits and skills are more important.E. So its time to regard small failures as valuable experiences.F. Then you will bee more interested in asking questions.G. You may send yourself some negative messages about the test.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第1节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、 B 、C 、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A few years ago I chose to carry out a “word of the year”.
