Hops, for example—which give many a modern brewski its bitter, citrusy flavor—are a relatively recent addition to the beverage, first mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a surprising ingredient in residue(残留物） from 5000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While excavating two pits at a site in the central plains of China, scientists discovered pottery fragments from pots, funnels, amphorae, and stoves (stove fragment pictured). The different shapes of the containers suggest they were used to brew, filter, and store beer—they may be ancient “beer-making toolkits,” and the earliest direct evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To test that hypothesis, the team examined the yellowish, dried remains inside the vessels. The majority of the grains—about 80%—were from cereal crops like barley(大麦）, and about 10% were bits of roots, including lily, which would have made the beer sweeter,the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: The crop was domesticated in western Eurasia and didn’t become a staple food in central China until about 2000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have arrived in the region not as food, but as raw mat erial for beer brewing . 选项 A) arrived B) consuming C) direct D) exclusively E) including F) inform G) raw H) reached I) relatively J) remains K) resources L) staple M) suggest N) surprising O) test 答案 26.【I】 relatively 27.【N】 surprising 28.【M】 suggest 29.【C】 direct 30.【O】 test 31.【J】 remains 32.【E】 including 33.【L】 staple 34.【A】 arrived 35.【G】 raw 长篇阅读 36.【H】People with HSAM have the same memory as ordinary people when it comes to impersonal information. 37.【K】Fantasy proneness will not necessarily cause people to develop HSAM. 38.【C】Veisch began to remember the details of his everyday experiences after he met his first young love. 39.【G】Many more people with HSAM to contact researchers due to the mass media. 40.【P】People with HSAM often have to make efforts to avoid focusing on the past. 41.【A】Most people do not have clear memories of past events. 42.【L】HSAM can be both a curse and a blessing. 43.【E】A young woman sought explanation from a brain scientist when she noticed her unusual memory. 44.【O】Some people with HSAM it very hard to get rid of unpleasant memories. 45.【I】A recent study of people with HSAM reveals that they are liable to fantasy and full absorption in an activity. 仔细阅读一 46.D) It misrepresents real life. 47.B) It can be a new phase of one’s life. 48.A) It can be quite rosy. 49.C) to mature 50.D) It is likely to be critical turning point in one’s life. 仔细阅读二 51.B) It is their major source of protein in winter. 52.D) They are favored as a form of art. 53.C)Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today. 54.A) She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed. 55.B) It has a history pf over two thousand years. 写作 （书籍） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an advertisement on your campus website to sell some of the course books you used at college.

Fear not, however, for coffee can perk them right up again. During vigorous exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a phenomenon called “central fatigue,” in which an imbalance in the body’s chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements effectively. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly involved in the exercise itself—such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteers a carbohydrate solution either with a moderate dose of caffeine—which is known to stimulate the central nervous system—or as a placebo without, during 3 hours of cycling. After exercising, the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still control their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, preventing their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine—the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee—was sufficient to counteract this effect, with some cyclists even displaying increased eye movement speeds, the team reports today in Scientific Reports. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon. 答案： 26.O vigorous 27.I phenomenon 28.E effectively 29.G involved 30.M solution 31.D cycling 32.C control 33.

Two years before, a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no significant gains in such mental abilities during their school yeas . Mr. Daniels, needed to justify the high cost of attending Purdue to its students and their families. After all, the percentage of Americans who say a college degree is “very important” has fallen drastically in the last 5-6 years. Purdue now has a pilot test to assess the critical thinking skills of students as they progress. Yet like many college teachers around the United States, the faculty remain doubtful that their work as educators can be measured by a “learning outcome such as a graduate’s ability to investigate and reason.However the professors can use standardized metrics to measure how well students do in three key areas: critical thinking, written communication, and quantitative literacy. Despite the success of the experiment,the actual results are worrisome, and mostly confirm earlier studies. The organizers Of the experiment concluded that far fewer students were achieving at high levels on a critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or quantitative literacy.” And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation. American universities, despite their global reputation for excellence in teaching, have only begun to demonstrate what they can produce in real-world learning. Knowledge-based degrees are still important. But employers are demanding advanced thinking skills from college graduate.If the intellectual worth of a college degree can beaccurately more people will seek higher education – and come out better thinkers. 答案： 26.【L】significant 27.【F】justify 28.【E】drastically 29.【D】doubtful 30.【H】outcome 31.【O】standardized 32.【B】confirm 33.【K】 reputation 34.【I】demanding 35.【A】accurately 长篇阅读 36.【D】A number of factors are driving down the global oil prices not just for now but in the foreseeable future. 37.【L】Pricing carbon proves the most economical way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 38.【J】It is estimated that extreme weather conditions have endangered the lives of millions of African children. 39.【E】The prices of coal are low as a result of over-supply and decreasing demand. 40.【H】High fossil fuel prices prove to be conductive to innovation and application of cleaner technology. 41.【A】If fossil fuel prices remain low for a long time, it may lead to higher emissions of greenhouse gases. 42.【G】Fossil fuels remain in major source of primary energy consumption in today’s world. 43.【F】Even major fossil fuels exporting countries have great potential to develop renewable energies. 44.【O】Greenhouse gas emissions, if not proper dealt with, will pose endless risks for mankind. 45.【B】It is urgent for governments to increase the cost of using fossil fuels to an appropriate level to lessen the catastrophic effects of climate change. 仔细阅读一 46.D) Open data sharing is conductive to scientific advancement. 47.A) Opposed. 48.C)The belief that research data is private intellectual property. 49.C)The changing attitude of journals and funder. 50.B)benefits sharers and users alike. 仔细阅读二 51.A) It is attributable to the rising value of the U.S. Dollar. 52.B) They cannot be attributed to weather only. 53.D)reduce the size of its staff 54.D) To be more competitive in sales pf beauty products. 55.D)It filled its stores with abundant supply of merchandise. 写作 Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend a vocational college or a university,write an essay to state your opinion.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 范文： If I am asked to give advice on whether to attend a vocational college or a university, I would definitely be in favor of attending a university. Compared with vocational colleges, universities can be beneficial to students in more ways than one. The university, with its powerful, systemic professional capacity of research and development, can provide students theoretical knowledge, which is essential to almost every aspect of industry. Theoretical knowledge is what really pushes the frontier forward in almost any field, but the skills taught by vocational colleges may fail to move it forward. A scientist named Thomas Edison will suffice to be a perfect example to illustrate my point. It was only with a deeper understanding of what electricity behaves that he was finally able to establish electricity as a powerful tool. If those who opposed his invention was armed with the same knowledge as he did, they would have realized the worth of electricity. From what has been discussed with the reasons, a conclusion cannot be more evident that it is better for students to attend a university. As a generation of the twenty-first century, we should attend a university to get pursue knowledge that is theoretical and deeper. 翻译 宋朝始于960年，一直延续到1279年。这一时期，中国经济大幅增长，成为世界上最先进的经济体，科学、技术、哲学和数学蓬勃发展，宋代中国是世界历史上首先发行纸币的国家。宋朝还是最早使用火药并发明了活字（movable-type）印刷。人口增长迅速，越来越多的人住进城市，那里有热闹的娱乐场所。社会生活多种多样。人们聚集在一起观看和交易珍贵艺术品。宋朝的政府体制在当时也是先进的。政府官员通过竞争性考试选拔任用。 Song Dynasty started in 960 CE and lasted to 1279 CE.

听力 阅读参考答案 选词填空 Half of your brain stays alert and prepared for danger when you sleep in a new place, a study has revealed. This phenomenon is ofen indentified to as the 'first-night-effect' .Researchers from Brown University found that a network in the left hemisphere of the brain 'remained more active' than the network in the right side of the brain.Playing sounds into the right ears (stimulating the left hemisphere) of volunteers was more likely to wake them up than if the noises were played into their left ear It was specifically observed that the brain was more active during deep sleep. When the researchers repeated the laboratory experiment on the second and third nights they found the left hemisphere could not be stimulated in the same way during deep sleep.The researchers explained that the study demonstrated 'when we are in a novel environment, the brain partly remains alert so that humans can defend themselves against any potential danger. The researchers believes this is the first time that the 'first-night-effect' of different brain states has been identified in humans. It isn't, however, the first time it has ever been seen. Some animal species also display this phenomenon . For example, dolphins,as well as other marine animals shut down one hemisphere of the brain when they go to sleep . A previous study noted that dolphins always consciously control their breating, Without keeping the brain active while sleeping,they would probably down.But,as the human study suggest,another reason for dophins keeping their eyes open during sleep is that they can look out for predators while asleep.It also keeps their physiological processes working. 26.【E】indentified 27.【O】volunteers 28.【M】specifically 29.【H】novel 30.【I】potential 31.【E】identified 32.【L】species 33.【G】marine 34.【B】consciously 35.【J】predators 长篇阅读 36.【F】Middle school is a crucial period when students may become keenly interested in advanced mathematics. 37.【A】Elite high school math competitions are attracting more interest throughout the United States. 38.【I】Math circles provide students with access to advanced-math training by university professors. 39.【G】Students may take advantage of online resources to learn to solve math problems. 40.【L】The summer program run by a nonprofit organization has helped many underserved students learn advanced math. 41.【E】Winners of local contests will participate in the national math competition for free. 42.【J】Many schools don’t place academic competitions at the top of their priority list. 43.【B】Contestants of elite high school math competitions are mostly Asian and white students from well-off families. 44.【M】Some math training programs primarily focus on raising students’ math score. 45.【H】Some intensive summer programs are very expensive but most of them provide scholarships. 仔细阅读一 46.B) The formulated a dress code with distinctive American features. 47.C) It represented genuine American art. 48.C) Ease of care. 49.A) A shift of emphasis from beauty to utility. 50.C) They radically changed people’s concept of beauty. 仔细阅读二 51.D) They have changed the previous migration habits of certain birds. 52.D) They are more likely to be at the risk of dying. 53.B) They may eat something harmful 54.C) They are not attracted to the rubbish dumps on their migration routes. 55.A) The potential harm to the ecosystem. 写作 Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to attend college at home or abroad, write an essay to state your opinion.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 范文 Whether to attend college at home or abroad If I am asked to give advice on whether to attend college at home or abroad, I would definitely be in favor of attending college abroad. Compared with studying at home, attending college abroad can be beneficial to students in more ways than one. To Start with, overseas universities can broaden the horizon for those who go abroad to pursue their education. As globalization furthers into a deeper level, the world has virtually evolved into a “village”, so we can never just stay in just one small corner of the world. Furthermore, the diversity of cultures that foreign universities provide their students can bring valuable cultural understanding. Surrounded by the classmates of different cultural backgrounds while lectured by professors of even more various of scholarly talents, students will develop better capacities. From what has been discussed with the reasons, a conclusion cannot be more evident that it is better for students to attend college abroad. As a generation of twenty-first century, let’s open our arms to embrace the bigger world. 翻译 唐朝始于618年，终于907年，是中国历史上最灿烂的时期，经过近三百年的发展，唐代中国成为世界上最繁荣的强国，其首都长安是当时世界上最大的都市。这一时期，经济发达、商业繁荣、社会秩序稳定，甚至边境也对外开放，随着城市化和财富的增加，艺术和文学也繁荣起来、李白和杜甫是以作品简洁自然而著称的诗人。他们的诗歌打动了学者和普通人的心。即使在今天，他们的许多诗歌扔广为儿童及成人阅读背诵。 Tang Dynasty, starting in 618 CE and ending in 907 CE, was the most glorious period in Chinese history. After three hundred years of development, Tang became the most prosperous country in the world, its capital, Chang’an city, being the largest metropolis of the world. In this period, the economy was thriving, the trade was flourishing, the social order was stable, and border areas were even opened. With the growth of urban wealth, art and literature enjoyed prosperity. Li Bai and Du Fu were famous for their succinct and natural poetry which tugged at the heartstrings of scholars and ordinary people. Even today, works of theirs are still being read and recited by adults and children alike. 阅读参考答案 选词填空 Let’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can’t seem to keep their inner monologues (独白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain focused better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering. According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to trigger mental pictures helps people function quicker. In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty volunteers and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were Ededicated to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips Jsealed . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t, the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that Muttering the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down. Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve apparently matured is not a great sign of brilliance . The two professors hope to refute that idea, claiming that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”. Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any O volume , there’s still such a thing as too much information. 26.【I】obscurely 27.【L】trigger 28.【K】volunteers 29.【E】dedicated 30.【J】sealed 31.【M】uttering 32.【A】apparently 33.【C】brilliance 34.【D】claiming 35.【N】volume 长篇阅读 36.[G] Working-class parents teach their children to be obedient and show respect to adults. 37.[F] American parents, whether rich or poor, have similar expectations of their children despite different ways of parenting. 38.[M] While rich parents are more concerned with their children’s psychological well-being poor parents are more worried about their children’s safety. 39.[D] The increasing differences in child rearing between rich and poor families reflect growing social inequality. 40.[N] Parenting approaches of working-class and affluent families reflect growing social inequality. 41.[O] Higher-income families and working-class families now tend to live in different neighborhoods. 42.[K] Physical punishment is used much less by well-educated parents. 43.[H] Ms. Lareau doesn’t believe participating in fewer after-class activities will negatively affect children’s development. 44.[B] Wealthy parents are concerned about their children’s mental health and busy schedules. 45.[P] Some socioeconomic differences in child rearing have shrunk in the past ten years. 仔细阅读一 46.A)It is backed by a campus spending analysis 47.B)Facilities management by colleges is more cost-effective 48.C)render a number of campus workers jobless 49.A)The outsourcing plan is not yet finalized 50.D)He opposed the governor's plan to reconstruct the college board system 仔细阅读二 51.B) It was unaffordable for ordinary. 52.C) They were versed in literature and interested in art. 53.D) They gained some knowledge of classical art and architecture. 54.B) Europe hardly had any museum before the 19th century. 55.A) There appeared more and more Roman-style buildings. 写作 Directions: Suppose you are asked to give advice on whether to major in science or humanitiesat college, write an essay to state your opinion.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 范文： If I am asked to give advice on whether to major in science or humanities at college, I would definitely be in favor of majoring in science. Compared with humanities, science has played and will be playing a greater role in pushing the world forward in more ways than one. To start with, science has been credited with making the world a better place to live in. Almost all inventions are related with science, and it is with these inventions that we, human beings, can live comfortably in the world. Just imagine the greatest invention: airplanes, without which we would be confined to our own corners of the world. However, majoring in humanities may have its own advantages, but these advantages cannot push the world forward and make our life better. From what has been illustrated through the example of airplanes, a conclusion can be crystal clear that it is better for students to major in science rather than in humanities. As a generation of the twenty-first century, we should relentlessly pursue scientific knowledge to make the world better. 翻译 明朝统治中国276年，被人们描绘成人类历史上治理有序、社会稳定的最伟大的时代之一。这一时期，手工业的发展促进了市场经济和城市化。大量商品，包括酒和丝绸，都在市场销售。同时，还进口许多外国商品，如时钟和烟草。北京、南京、扬州、苏州这样的大商业中心相继形成。也是在明代，由郑和率领船队曾到印度洋进行了七次大规模探险航行。还值得一提的是，中国文学四大名著中有三部写于明朝。 Ming Dynasty ruled China for 276 years, and was described as a well-ordered, socially stable era in human history. In this period, the development of handicraft industry promoted market economy and urbanization. Large numbers of goods, including wine and silk, were in market for sale, while many foreign goods, such as clocks and tobacco, were imported. A series of trading centers like Beijing, Nanjing, Yangzhou, and Suzhou came to exist. It was also in Ming Dynasty that the seven sea adventures led by Zheng He were made into India Ocean. Also worth mentioned is that three of Four Great Classical Novels were written in Ming Dynasty.
