AMy doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.I know what is inside the paper carrier bag — a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.“Oh, no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course, the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.21．The author and Wing got to know each other .A. as next door neighbors B. when exchanging mealsC. by sharing similar experiences D. after using an iPad to communicate22．The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means .A. do as well B. give in return C. offer generously D. accept with pleasure23．The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .A. great satisfaction B. real kindness C. sincere friendship D. heartfelt thanksBIn a unique research cooperation between Stratasys, Education, R&D departments and MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab, a new process is being developed, known as 4D Printing.The 4D printing concept, which allows materials to “self-assemble” （自行组装）into 3D structures, was initially proposed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty member Skylar Tibbits. Tibbits and his team combined a strand (缕) of plastic with a layer made out of “smart” material that could self-assemble in water. They advanced this concept by creating materials that can change into several different complicated shapes, though this kind of material remains the bottleneck of 4D technology.To many people that are just starting to get used to the idea of 3D printers, the name 4D is causing confusion because they cannot understand where this fourth “dimension” coming from. 4D technology shares many of the same principles of 3D printing and is essentially still about creating a new, 3D structure out of certain component; however, Tibbits states the fourth dimension at work here comes from concept of the fourth dimension of time. The difference between these 3D and 4D creations is that these new forms have the ability to transform and adapt over time.4D printing works through self-assembly — a system where “disordered elements form an “ordered” structure via an interaction. With these 4D printed materials, these disordered materials are strands or sheets of specially designed materials. Environmental changes then stimulate (刺激）a response from them so that they form a preprogrammed shape.The idea of having adaptable technology that only relies on energy and non-human interactions raises some interesting questions about where 4D printing can be used and the practical applications in dangerous environments. This could mean improving infrastructures（基础设施）in extreme conditions, leading to a reduced need for workers to put themselves at risk, but the potential goes even further than that. The technology promises exciting new possibilities for a variety of applications. A solar panel or similar product could be produced in a flat shape onto which functional devices can be easily installed. It could then be changed to a compact shape for packing and shipping. After arriving at its destination, the product could be stimulated to form a different shape that serves its function. Also it could be used to build furniture, bikes, cars and even buildings. As with many of the ideas being put forward, it is easy to go a step too far into the extreme, but this just shows the potential of 4D in comparison to 3D.The next stage for the research is to move from printing single strands to sheets and eventually whole structures. And water need not be the process’s only energy source.24. Which of the following displays the fourth dimension of 4D printing? A. 4D printing creates a new, 3D structure out of certain component. B. 4D technology reduces need for workers to put themselves at risk. C. 4D technology can be used in many more fields than 3D printing. D. 4D printed materials reshape themselves with conditions changing.25. The major problem concerning the development of 4D printing lies in__________. A. producing essential 4D printers B. creating proper smart materials C. providing a suitable environment D. promoting practical applications26. It can be inferred from the last but one paragraph that__________. A. electricity is used in 4D technology B. 4D printing has been applied in industry C. more potential of 4D is to be discovered D. 4D technology will go to extreme27. What does the passage lead you to believe? A. 4D printing will take the place of 3D printing in the near future. B. Most aspects of our study life can be affected by 4D printing. C. 4D printing will benefit humans by saving labor somehow.D. Smart materials can be transformed into other types of material.CIf you could change your child’s DNA in the future to protect them against diseases, would you? It could be possible because of technology known as CRISPR-Cas, or just CRISPR.CRISPR involves a piece of RNA, a chemical messenger, designed to work on one part of DNA; it also uses an enzyme (酶) that can take unwanted genes out and put new ones in, according to The Economist. There are other ways of editing DNA, but CRISPR will do it very simply, quickly, and exactly.The uses of CRISPR could mean that cures are developed for everything from Alzheimer’s to cancer to HIV. By allowing doctors to put just the right cancer-killing genes into a patient’s immune system, the technology could help greatly.In April scientists in China said they had tried using CRISPR to edit the genomes (基因组) of human embryos. Though the embryos would never turn into humans, this was the first time anyone had ever tried to edit DNA from human beings. With this in mind, the US’ National Academy of Sciences plans to discuss questions about CRISPR’s ethics (伦理问题).For example, CRISPR doesn’t work properly yet. As well as cutting the DNA it is looking for, it often cuts other DNA, too. In addition, we currently seem to have too little understanding of what DNA gives people what qualities.There are also moral questions around “playing God”. Of course, medicine already stops natural things from happening —— for example, it saves people from infections. The opportunities to treat diseases make it hard to say we shouldn’t keep going.A harder question is whether it is ever right to edit human germ-line (种系) cells and make changes that are passed on to children. This is banned in 40 countries and restricted in many others. However, CRISPR means that if genes can be edited out, they can also be edited back in. It may be up to us as a society to decide when and where editing the genome is wrong.Also, according to The Economist, gene editing may mean that parents make choices that are not obviously in the best interests of their children: “Deaf parents may prefer their children to be deaf too; parents might want to make their children more intelligent at all costs.”In the end, more research is still needed to see what we can and can’t do with CRISPR. “It’s still a huge mystery how we work,” Craig Mello, a UMass Medical School biologist and Nobel Prize winner, told The Boston Globe. “We’re just trying to figure out this amazingly complicated thing we call life.”28．What is the article mainly about?A. What we can and can’t do with CRISPR.B. How CRISPR was developed by scientists.C. The advantages of CRISPR and arguments about its ethics.D. Chinese scientists’ experiment of using CRISPR to edit human embryos.29．According to the article, the technology of CRISPR ________.A. is very safe because it only cuts the DNA it is looking forB. is banned in 42 countries and restricted in many othersC. could cause parents to make unwise choices for their childrenD. could help us discover the link between DNA and the qualities it gives people30．It can be concluded from the article that CRISPR ________.A. allows scientists to edit genomes for the first timeB. could be helpful in the treatment of cancer and HIV C. is a technology that uses an enzyme to work on RNA and DNAD. has proven to be the most effective way to protect children against diseases31．What is the author’s attitude toward CRISPR?A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Negative. D. Objective.The 2016 Oscars, the 88th Academy Awards, once again thrilled people around the world, including the Chinese, who were excited about Leonardo DiCaprio winning the Best Actor Award.But the annual carnival also put Chinese filmmakers in an awkward position, as no Chinese film makers ever pocketed a golden trophy(奖杯). The hard truth leaves people wondering when the nation, which is already the second largest film market, will earn a place in the well-known award ceremony’s spotlight.There are good reasons to be optimistic about such an ambitious outlook.First, China is one of the fastest growing film markets in the world, attracting abundant capital from home and abroad, which will attract more talented people to get into the industry. Latest statistics showed Chinese cinemas took a record of 6.87 billion yuan (about $ 1.05 billion) in ticket sales in February, with the monthly box office overtaking that of North America for the first time.The achievement, which may be repeated in the future, has led to thinking that China’s annual box office could go on to surpass(超过) North America as soon as 2017. As capital rushes into the Chinese film industry, fierce competition is expected. The creativity and quality of homegrown movies, two outstanding shortcomings compared with Hollywood productions, will be improved.Second, Chinese culture and stories have provided a rich source of inspiration for domestic(国内的) productions. For example, the most popular animations in China are the Kung Fu Panda series and Monkey King films. Once they master cutting-edge film technology and improve narration(叙述), Chinese film makers could see their potential released. Also showing promise is the younger generation of filmmakers, who are born after 1970. With more professional and international training compared with their predecessors(前辈), such as Zhang Yimou, they are equipped to make breakthroughs.Young directors, who often travel to the United States and Europe for seminars and award ceremonies, are also more familiar with Hollywood productions. This being said, no one can predict the exact year when a homegrown film will surprise the world greatly. Patience is gold for domestic filmmakers.32．Why do Chinese filmmakers feel awkward, according to the passage?A. Because China has never earned any film award in the world.B. Because Chinese film makers have never won a golden trophy of the Oscar.C. Because Leonardo DiCaprio won the Best Actor award of the Oscar in 2016.D. Because Chinese wonder when China will be the largest film market in the world.33．In the author’s opinion, what are the reasons for Chinese filmmakers to win an Oscar in the future?① China can raise capital from home and abroad.② The creativity and quality of Chinese movies have been improved.③ The younger film makers, receiving international training, are more professional.④ Film makers can find a rich source of inspiration from Chinese culture and stories.A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④34．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Kung Fu Panda series and Monkey King films are the most popular animations in China now.B. The record in monthly ticket sales has overtaken that of North America in the past few months.C. Zhang Yimou, who is familiar with Hollywood production, will win an award at Oscar.D. A Chinese film is certain to surprise the world greatly in the Oscar of 2017.35．What is the implied meaning of the underlined sentence, according to the passage?A. Chinese filmmakers still have a long way to go.B. Oscar awards can provide gold chances for domestic filmmakers.C. Hollywood is a great place for filmmakers to achieve their dreams.D. It is certain that young directors are in the gold periods of filmmaking.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Looking back at my younger years, I am sometimes amazed at how life has turned out. 36 The only thing that stays the same is who I am, my values, and my interests. If I could go back in time and hang out with my younger self for a day, here’s what I would tell her.●Everything happens for a reason.Without mistakes and failure, you would never have learned. Without pain, you would never have grown. Once you understand this, you will know that everything comes in to serve a purpose. So don’t think that life is unfair, because everything happens for a reason. 37 ●Focus on one thing at a time.It is not surprising that many of us are doing too many things at once. We need to make ends meet. But if you are working three jobs at a time, it is not likely that you will succeed at any of them. You have to keep your eyes on the big picture. You have to ask yourself: What exactly do you want to achieve for the next 10 years? Focus on one thing at a time. 38 ● 39 You might be graduating or have hit a turning point with your career. You might feel a bit lost and unsure of where to go. It’s okay. Go out there and try as many different things as you can. Don’t ever feel like you’re wasting your time. Enjoy the journey. Every little path will lead you somewhere. And looking back, you will be able to connect the dots. It will all make sense.●Don’t try too hard with people.Don’t worry if you feel like it’s hard to make new friends. 40 It might take a while until you find new best friends and a mate for life, but when you do, you will know it. It’s not hard work. So, just do your things and be yourself.A. Achieve your goals one by one.B. You can plan everything ahead.C. Only time will tell what life will teach us.D. Just be yourself and be as open as you can.E. It’s okay to be unsure about your purpose in life.F. Nothing is exactly what I had originally planned for.G. Don’t worry too much about a decision you have to make.第三部分 英语知识运用（共2节， 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。
