A
Editors’ Choice
UNWARRANTED: Policing Without Permission, by Barry Friedman.
(Farrar, Straus & Giroux, .) In this accessible study, a legal scholar argues that clear rules governing the use of force and surveillance (监管), under court guidance and police leadership, are the solution to abusive policing.
CANNIBALISM: A Perfectly Natural History, by Bill Schutt. (Algonquin, .95.) This account is full of impressive research, drawing on scholarly journals and ancient texts. Schutt, a biologist, shows that cannibalism (同类相残) in the natural (including human) world is much more common than we once thought.
THE SCHOOLDAYS OF JESUS, by J. M. Coetzee. (Viking, .) In the second installment of his allegorical fable, the Nobel Prize winner has created a mixed genre combining the energy of philosophical dialogue with the emotional effect of family romance. The result is rich and full of inner tension and suspense (悬念).
PRETENDING IS LYING, by Dominique Goblet. Translated by Sophie Yanow. (New York Review Comics, .95.) The Belgian artist uses charcoal, pencil and ink to help explore the important relationships in her life in the first of her books to be translated into English.
56. If you are interested in stories as well as drawings, you are likely to buy______.
A. UNWARRANTED B. CANNIBALISM
C. THE SCHOOLDAYS OF JESUS D. PRETENDING IS LYING
57. From the passage we know______.
A. some regulations can effectively prevent abusive policing
B. wild animals kill their own kind more commonly than before
C. The Schooldays of Jesus mainly focuses on tension and suspense
D. charcoal, pencil and ink are helpful in exploration and translationB
Carpe diem—seize the day—is one of the oldest philosophical mottos in western history. First used by the Roman poet Horace more than 2,000 years ago, it still keeps an extraordinary resonance (共鸣) in popular culture.
It is unusual that an expression from a long-dead language generates more than 25 million online search results. Yet just as striking is the fact that there is not one carpe diem, but many. While usually translated as “seize” the day, the original Latin is sometimes interpreted as “harvest”, or “enjoy” the day. These variations (变化) tell us that carpe diem means different things to different people. For some it’s about taking a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while for others it is about living calmly in the present moment. We might casually use the term carpe diem when chatting with a friend, but how many of us are aware of its many personalities hidden beneath the surface?
In our age of distraction, where we are checking our phones an average of 110 times a day, grasping these different meanings is more important than ever. They are an antidote (解毒药) to the reality that we are, as Shakespeare put it, “food for worms”. Life is short and our time is running out.
But here’s the problem: carpe diem has been hijacked (绑架). Who, or what, are the hijackers? First, the spirit of “seize the day” has been secretly hijacked by consumer culture, which has recast it as Black Friday shopping rushes and one-click buying: Just Do It has come to mean Just Buy It.
Alongside this is the growing fashionable belief of efficiency and time management that has driven us towards tight-scheduled living, turning the spontaneity (自然发生) of Just Do It into a culture of Just Plan It.
A third hijacker is digital entertainment that is replacing energetic life experiences with screen-based pleasures. Rather than Just Do It, we increasingly Just Watch It instead.
Finally, carpe diem has been hijacked by the mindfulness movement. While mindfulness has many proven benefits, from reducing stress to helping with depression, one of its unintended consequences has been to encourage the narrow idea that seizing the day is primarily about living in the here and now. Just Do It has become Just Breathe.
Challenged by these hijackers, the art of seizing the day is disappearing and we urgently need to do something about it, or else risk losing touch with the carpe diem wisdom of humanity that has accumulated over the past two thousand years.
58. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?
A. People often create different situations for carpe diem.
B. Carpe diem should be better interpreted than before.
C. People usually scratch the surface of carpe diem.
D. Carpe diem should be replaced with new terms.
59. By mentioning Shakespeare in Paragraph 3, the author wants to emphasize______.
A. we should try to expand the length of our life
B. we should treasure every moment of our life
C. we should use effective medicine to cure diseases
D. we should check our phones to avoid distraction
60. Which of the following can best prove carpe diem has been hijacked?
A. Just Do It has come to mean online shopping rushes.
B. Just Do It has come to mean a casual way of life.
C. Just Do It has come to mean workout in the gym.
D. Just Do It has come to mean a really relieved mind.
61. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To justify some different applications of carpe diem.
B. To explain the four hijackers of carpe diem nowadays.
C. To advocate returning to the original meaning of carpe diem.
D. To compare people’s different interpretations of carpe diem today.C
Larger brain size linked to longer life in deer
The size of a female animals’ brain may determine whether they live longer and have more healthy offspring (后代), according to new research led by the University of Cambridge.
The study, published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, shows that female red deer with larger brains live longer and have more surviving offspring than those with smaller brains. Brain size is passed down through the generations. This is the first extensive study of individual differences in brain size in wild mammals and draws on data comparing seven generations of deer.
Across species of mammals, brain size varies widely. This is thought to be a consequence of specific differences in the benefits and costs of a larger brain. Mammals with larger brains may, for example, have greater cognitive abilities that enable them to adapt better to environmental changes or they may have longer lifespans (寿命) . But there may also be disadvantages: for instance, larger brains require more energy, so individuals that possess them may show reduced fertility (繁殖力).
The researchers, based at the University of Cambridge’s Zoology Department and Edinburgh University’s Institute of Evolutionary Biology, wanted to test if they could find more direct genetic or non-genetic evidence of the costs and benefits of large brain size by comparing the longevity (长寿) and survival of individuals of the same species with different sized brains. Using the skulls of 1,314 wild red deer whose life histories and breeding success had been monitored in the course of a long-term study on the Isle of Rum, they found that females with larger endocranial volumes (脑腔容量) lived longer and produced more surviving offspring in the course of their lives.
Lead author Dr Corina Logan, a Gates Cambridge Scholar, says, “The reasons for the association between brain size and longevity are not known, but other studies have suggested that larger brains are a consequence of the longer-lived species having longer developmental periods in which the brain can grow. These hypotheses (假设) were generated from cross-species correlations; however, testing such hypotheses requires investigations at the within-species level, which is what we did.”
Dr Logan adds, “We found that some of the cross-species predictions about brain size held for female red deer, and that none of the predictions were supported in male red deer. This indicates that each sex likely experiences its own set of trade-offs (权衡,协调) with regard to brain size.” The study also showed that females’ relative endocranial volume is smaller than that of males, despite evidence of selection for larger brains in females.
Professor Tim Clutton-Brock, who set up the Rum Red Deer study with Fiona Guinness in 1972 and initiated the work on brain size, points out, “The reason that this kind of study has not been conducted before is that it requires long term records of a large number of individuals across multiple generations and data of this kind are still rare in wild animals.”
62. What does the new research about brain size reveal?
A. Large-brain red deer tend to be more reproductive.
B. Large-brain female deer survive small-brain male deer.
C. Brain size causes individual differences in some mammals.
D. Brain size has been increasing from generation to generation.
63. For different species of mammals, brain size varies widely in that ______.
A. mammals can develop different adaptive abilities
B. a larger brain has its advantages and disadvantages
C. different mammals are born with different lifespans
D. brain size is affected by genetic or non-genetic factors
64. What can we learn about the relation between brain size and longevity?
A. The cause and effect needs to be further investigated.
B. Brain size absolutely determines animals’ longevity.
C. Longer-lived species allow brains to grow to a large size.
D. The cross-species assumptions apply to red deer of both sexes.
65. What can we infer from Professor Tim Clutton-Brock’s words?
A. Researchers can’t possibly reach a conclusion about the reason.
B. Researchers are not patient enough to keep long term records.
C. Such research has been thoroughly conducted on wild animals before.
D. Such research will witness great difficulty in the long-term process.D
My father and I have been separated for over two years. He was physically violent and emotionally abusive to me throughout my childhood, and I felt that I couldn’t forgive him. And yet, now he is dying, unconscious and struggling to breathe through an oxygen tube after a major stroke, all I can think of is how much he loved me.
How he would hold my fringe (刘海) back and kiss me on the forehead before school. How he bought me a pottery set and roller skates, although we were struggling by on just his salary, and allowed me to skate to school. How he would play chess and tennis with me, and take me to endless chess and tennis tournaments, even though I never won anything. How he would read the Guardian every day and fill in the quick crossword, but leave a few clues and praise me if I solved them. He kept every one of my Guardian columns, and every article I ever had published, even during our many estranged (疏远) periods. He gave me a lot of his savings to buy a flat after I became a single mum. And he set my date of birth as the passcode on his phone.
Yet I’m ashamed to say I blamed him, often, for everything: my anorexia (厌食症), my cutting, my anxiety, my depression.... He was there during the tough times, yet all I could think was that the tough times happened because of him, forgetting that the causes of events are complex, and that plenty of people who had happy childhoods have to deal with mental illness and domestic violence too.
I even stopped him from seeing my daughter, then three, the thing that brought him most happiness, because I was scared he would hurt her, and that her life would be like mine. That decision would mean he never spoke to me again.
When we spent time together in previous years, my father hugged me a lot yet never talked much. Born in 1930s America during the Depression, he was a man of few words, a silent romantic who signed his empty Valentine’s cards to my mother with only his first initial. I know he thought I talked too much; ironically, I never told him what I needed to. Knowing he was old, I tried to get back in touch several times to make things right, but my mother said he didn’t want to hear from me. I understand that. Why would he want to hear from the daughter who was never able to forgive him for his mistakes; who brought them up time after time, unable to accept his apologies? Who prevented him from seeing his granddaughter? Who scolded him for his faults, yet never acknowledged his numerous kindnesses?
It’s much too late now. When I sit by his hospital bed and hold his large wrinkled hand, far too warm, and ask him to squeeze it if he can hear me, he doesn’t. So I tell him a few of the things I should have told him when he was conscious, though it’s hard to say the words: that I love him very much, and that I’m sorry about the estrangement. And it reminds me of what I’ve known for a long time: that my dad didn’t know how to be a father to me when I was young, because his father was abusive to him as a child. His father died estranged from his son; my father is dying estranged from his daughter.
I never thought that I’d feel this broken at losing him. I fantasise that his eyes will open, and that he will be conscious again for just a few days. I will give him a letter thanking him for all the things I have remembered while writing this piece, and apologizing for all the ways I have wronged him. And when I deliver the letter, I will bring my five-year-old daughter with me, so he can see her happiness and sweetness, and learn that the chain of hurt that has been passed down from generation to generation has finally been broken.
66. The separation between Father and the daughter is mainly caused by ______.
A. Father’s cruelty towards the daughter
B. Father’s irresponsibility for the family
C. the daughter’s protection of her kid from harm
D. the daughter’s misunderstanding of her father

A. he was too ashamed to face his daughter
B. he couldn’t support his daughter any more

68. The author’s father can be described as ______.
A. generous, cold and stubborn B. strict, caring and stubborn
C. generous, strict and inconsiderate D. caring, cold and inconsiderate
69. What message does the author want to convey in the underlined part?
A. The granddaughter will break the family chain to live freely.
B. The previous way of family education will no longer continue.
C. There will be no restriction in the family from that moment on.
D. Father will leave the world without any regrets and sufferings.
70. What might be the best title of the passage?

第Ⅱ卷 (两部分 共35分)

请认真阅读下列短文,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1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
We all need to feel understood, recognized and affirmed (证实) by our friends, family and romantic partners. We all need to find our tribe.
Research has shown that among the benefits that come with being in a relationship or group, feeling accepted is regarded as the most important driver of meaning. When other people think you matter and treat you as if you matter, you believe you matter, too.
Though we all share a need to belong, in the first decades of the 20th century, many influential psychologists and physicians did not acknowledge this fundamental aspect of human nature. The idea that children needed parental love and care to live a full and meaningful life was not only considered medically dangerous, it was dismissed as immoral and disgusting.
As behavioural psychology came into fashion and academic psychologists turned their attention to child-raising, this view shifted and they began to examine and affirm the vital importance of attachment in early life. They discovered that people, whatever their age, needed more than food and shelter to live full and healthy lives.
But, sadly, many of us lack close ties. At a time when we are more connected digitally than ever before, rates of social isolation (孤立) are rising. The results of an Age UK poll published recently suggest that half a million people over the age of 60 usually spend each day alone, and it’s not unusual for another half a million people to go five or six days without seeing or speaking to someone.
All these figures reveal more than a rise in loneliness—they reveal a lack of meaning in people’s lives. In surveys, we list our close relationships as our most important sources of meaning. Research shows that people who are lonely and isolated feel their lives are less meaningful.
While close relationships are critical for living a meaningful life, they are not the only important social bonds we need to cultivate (培养). Psychologists have also discovered the value of small moments of intimacy (亲昵行为). “High-quality connections,” as one researcher calls them, are positive, short-term interactions between two people when a couple holds hands on a walk or when two strangers have an empathetic (移情作用的) conversation on a plane. High-quality connections have the potential to unlock meaning in our interactions with acquaintances, colleagues and strangers.
We can’t control whether someone will make a high-quality connection with us, but we can all choose to start one. We can say hello to a stranger on the street rather than look away. We can choose to value people rather than devalue them. We can invite people to belong.

Possible version :
The two pictures reveal two men take completely different attitudes to building a bright future. In Picture 1, a man is dreaming of opportunities for a bright future, but without any action, while Picture 2 shows another man devotes himself to his studies to get fully prepared.
The message conveyed here is clear, “Opportunities favour the prepared mind.” The difference between the two lies only in the way each treats opportunities. Successful people always make adequate preparations to seize opportunities. Unsuccessful people, on the other hand, work little and just wait, seeing them pass by.
To further stress the importance of our attitude towards opportunities, let’s take Liu Xiang for example. In order to win the gold medal in the Olympics, he trained hard every day and eventually made it. Therefore, we should spare no efforts to fulfill our dreams. It’s universally acknowledged that we would accomplish nothing without actions and efforts.
