Scientists confirmed Monday that a skeleton (骷髅) found under a carpark in the English city of Leicester was that of King Richard III, in a weird end to a 500-year-old mystery.
DNA from the bones 21． (match) that of existing generation of the king’s sister and the skeleton had the battle injuries consistent 22． contemporary accounts.
The remains of the king, viewed as one of English history’s worst guys, will be reburied later in the local church.
The discovery has caused huge excitement among historians, as it provides firm evidence about a ruler whose life 23． (shadow), in spite of official records, by rumours (谣言) concerning his cold blood since his death at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
According to historical accounts, Richard’s body was transported naked and bloody on the back of a pack horse to Leicester before being buried in an unmarked grave at Greyfriars, a Franciscan temple in the central English city.
Then the crown passed to the Tudor rulers who painted Richard as an ugly bad guy who stopped at 24． in his pursuit of power, even murdering his two young nephews, the so-called Princes in the Tower, 25． (secure) the power.
The hunt for his body began years ago when archaeologists (考古学家) started to dig beneath the municipal carpark 26． the king was supposedly buried. They finally found the skeleton.
On Monday archaeologists said the skeleton confirmed that the king had severe injury in the backbone. It may have been painful and caused his right shoulder to appear higher than his left, but there was no evidence of the deformed arm 27． (mention) in Shakespeare’s “Richard III”.
Historians now hope to clear some of the myths about Richard, 28． (publicize) evidence to argue against the claim that he killed the two young princes. They intend to focus on 29． Richard achieved in his brief two-year ruling, including the establishment of a system of legal aid.
According to Philippa Langley, a member of the Richard III Society, 30． cruel Richard III appeared to be in the past, a new image will emerge of the king. “We have searched for Richard and we have found him. Now it’s time to honour him,” she said.


五、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

As colleges and universities nationwide revealed their admission decisions, news broke of a dramatic decline in acceptance rates-and not just at Ivy League schools. The shift meant that many high school students who pinned all their hopes on particular dream schools might find themselves 31． with real disappointment.
Why were admissions so low these years? It’s a number game. These years, colleges saw the number of applicants soar to record-high levels. But considering 32． budgets, the number of spots colleges could offer had to be 33．. As a result, both state schools and private colleges kept seeing their acceptance rates fall rapidly.
It’s not that most students won’t get into colleges at all. Instead, there are more than enough spots nationwide for every qualified applicant to find a place for study. But for many, the school they end up enrolling in may not have been their first, or even third choice. The 34． strike of rejection, in some cases, could be heartbreaking. These are kids who are used to being the best of the best.
But some of the pressure is 35．, without excuses, by students themselves, according to Laurence Steinberg, professor of Psychology. He thinks that Americans fall 36． to their own addiction to school rankings and fame. Students and their parents have formed strong commitments to particular schools long before admission decisions are made. “When they are rejected, it’s like being rejected by a boyfriend or girlfriend,” Steinberg says. “They 37． it: What’s the matter with me? What could I have done differently?”
That emotional 38． is often only about what school name students will paste on their parents’ cars but it may also lead to families’ 39． of what may actually be the suitable school for the students.
Actually, painful as the rejection is, in the long run, getting into a high-ranking university doesn’t necessarily mean competitive 40． in terms of job prospects and earnings. A research shows that many students rejected by highly selective schools earn as much as Ivy League graduates. What really matters is how seriously students take their studies.


六、完形填空
Some fifteen years ago, when smartphone apps were new and few truly understood their potentials, retailers (零售商) barely knew that consumers could browse in stores while comparing prices and 41 from other item providers through certain apps before 42 making the purchase online. Ten years ago, brick-and-mortar (实体店) retailers had to acknowledge that showrooming existed and appeared to be a threat. That’s the year when retailers were up in arms as online giant Amazon released an “evil” promotion that encouraged consumers to visit 43 stores and use Amazon’s Price Check app at the same time. Any purchase completed through the app was given 44 discounts, which significantly stimulated sales and 45 many shop owners to the edge of bankruptcy.
From the point on, retailers began launching strategies to combat showrooming including releasing 46 items for sale so that no reference prices from other sources are available for comparison.
“Media have reported showrooming as a big threat to physical stores,” says Casey Carl, a retailer. “However, less 47 is the fact that it is also the greatest opportunity for us.” Retailers need to accept that the act of showrooming is not illegal and any sensible buyer tends to 48 prices. As there’s nothing you can do about it, you might as well offer conveniences like in-store internet access to 49 these consumers. With caring services combined with acceptable prices, the store might actually improve the likelihood for consumers to close the deal 50 .
And a showrooming study indicates that it’s wise for retailers to limit the item price to at most 5 dollars higher than what online stores charge. After all, for the majority of consumers, getting the absolute lowest price is not their 51 . Many of them, instead, are willing to pay 52 in exchange for favourable shopping experiences, such as the pleasant store atmosphere, agreeable staff attitudes or even the merry music played, with a reasonable price 53 , of course.
Besides, adopting a strategy of 54 channels is also essential. With many sale channels under control, retailers are sure to have access to the lowest price possible for an item. Therefore, when a customer pulls out a mobile device in store, retailers can be spared the 55 that was unavoidable for them some ten years ago.
41．A．reviews B．locations C．rehearsals D．similarities
42．A．genuinely B．generously C．particularly D．finally
43．A．domestic B．physical C．imaginary D．parallel
44．A．superior B．compulsory C．routine D．rewarding
45．A．cornered B．messed C．overlooked D．refunded
46．A．exclusive B．alternative C．renewed D．seasonal
47．A．criticized B．publicized C．exploited D．executed
48．A．pursue B．neglect C．question D．compare
49．A．assist B．prohibit C．monitor D．expose
50．A．out of stock B．on the spot C．within reach D．at random
51．A．reputation B．greed C．priority D．devotion
52．A．attention B．deposit C．honor D．extra
53．A．disorder B．gap C．split D．deadline
54．A．accessible B．multiple C．loyal D．concrete
55．A．suspicion B．effort C．panic D．guilt


七、阅读选择
When Chef Enrique Olvera opened his restaurant, Pujol, 13 years ago, his only goal was to have the best restaurant in the neighborhood. Olvera's budget was so small that he had to do all the things himself. But Pujol is now widely thought of as Mexico's finest restaurant and the 36th best in the world. He reached his position by making his cuisine 'fancier and fancier, and more complex' over time. Pujol now serves a tasting menu of sophisticated food that wouldn't look out of place even at New York's Momofuku Ko. To decode his rocket soar in world cuisine circus, Olvera insists on mixing elaborate, cutting-edge techniques with a strong emphasis on local ingredients to create a cosmopolitan cuisine that's at once international yet unmistakably Mexican, matching the direction of Mexico City itself.
A visit to the 48-seat Pujol reveals a space-age kitchen containing 27 cooks, with one making his fifth attempt to reshape the egg liquid and another coloring potatoes. Pujol tolerates any grotesque attempt a chef could imagine and the restaurant is the trial site for its staff. That makes Pujol a hot place to attract free labor. The chef has also thought more about bringing Mexican cooks home from the U.S. Many are returning to move past the glass ceiling that exists in America. “Despite the number of Mexicans working in U.S. restaurants, you rarely see a Mexican head chef in a New York kitchen,” said Olvera. “Then why not come back here to attract diners here for the most local but also novel dishes?”
And for foreign diners, Mexican restaurants have another wonder to offer. Just think that merely 30 dollars can sustain you for a 4-course feast in an ordinary Mexican restaurant and no one could resist the temptation. To achieve such high cost performance, Olvera states that you have to keep looking for and exploring with the simple ingredients from which to accomplish amazing dishes. “You always cherish where you come from, but there’s also the need for new sensations. Keep exploring with new ideas until you get a better dish.” After all, it’s the soul of modem cuisine.
56．Why has Pujol become so successful?
A．Because Olvera aimed low in the first place.
B．Because Olvera forms the habit of doing things by himself.
C．Because Olvera attracts excellent cooks from the U.S.
D．Because Olvera combines cooking skills with local characteristics.
57．The underlined word grotesque is closest in meaning to _____.
A．forceful. B．weird. C．abstract. D．painful.
58．Why would many Mexican chefs come back to the country?
A．Because Pujol provides them with high titles and salaries.
B．Because they find it hard to rise to senior positions in U.S. restaurants.
C．Because they cook Mexican food better than American food.
D．Because they refer to the high cost performance of the restaurants.
59．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Momofuku Ko is a famous food critic.
B．Olvera relies totally on foreign cutting-edge cooking techniques.
C．Eating in ordinary Mexican restaurants is expensive.
D．One key to success in today’s restaurant business is continuous innovation.

These animal dads have some seriously strange ideas about fatherhood.
Barbary macaque
Unlike human dads boasting of their kids' winning contests or college acceptances, barbary macaques, monkeys that are native to North Africa, show off babies as a way to impress each other and build social networks. These monkeys live in troops of about 30 members, and life centers around the babies born each spring.
During baby season, males carry the infants, even picking up little ones that aren’t their own offspring (后代). However, there are status symbols, used to build male social networks and connections within the group. The infants can serve as a social passport, to approach other males and hang out with them. After all, it’s much simpler to break the ice if you have a cute baby in hand.
Sand grouse
Lots of dads bring home the bacon. But for young sand grouses living in Namibia’s dry deserts, water is the essential resource. Sand grouse fathers are the frequent flyers that travel almost 125 miles each day to fill up for the family at a watering hole.
With no other way to transport water, male sand grouses settle in the pool, rocking back and forth to bathe their belly feathers. Filling up can take 15 minutes, leaving them exposed to killers like falcons (猎鹰). But it all pays off. The dads return home after a long day and are able to provide their babies with few precious tablespoons of liquid.
Pipefish
Pregnant pipefish males-yes, males-give birth to live young from eggs that females deposit in their brood pouches (育儿袋). This mothering act has earned them praise as devoted animal dads.
But it turns out that the pregnant pipefish also has a wandering eye. If he sees a bigger female he often aborts (流产) existing eggs. If he stops exporting nutrients to the developing embryos (胚胎) while reabsorbing nutrients from abortions, he assures enough resources to invest in the more rewarding offspring.
Blue poison dart frog
Females of this species lay only about half a dozen precious eggs. That is maybe why dads are so devoted to them. Frog eggs must stay watery or moist, and these devoted dads accomplish that by regularly urinating on them over the course of 10 days, until they hatch (孵化) as tadpoles.
60．Barbary macaques carry their kids around in order to _____.
A．show how proud they are about being a father.
B．show their family strength within monkey groups.
C．center around their kids as a tradition.
D．build up better relations with other monkeys.
61．The resource of water or liquid is precious to _____.
A．barbary macaque and sand grouse.
B．sand grouse and pipefish.
C．pipefish and blue poison dart frog.
D．sand grouse and blue poison dart frog.
62．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Sand grouse carries the water by drinking it first and then spitting it out.
B．Pipefish gives up some eggs in order to make himself stronger.
C．Male blue poison dart frog protects the eggs by keeping them wet.
D．Sand grouse has to compete for water with the falcon.

People around the world participate in various ritualized celebrations. New Year activities included fireworks, and resolutions-as well as some practices unique to specific cultures, such as cooking black-eyed peas and greens in the southeastern United States.
All human cultures have their rituals-typically repetitive, symbolic behaviors that a group of people experience as purposeful; though people generally can’t explain how they are supposed to work. And their diversity can also cause clashes between peoples, particularly when the valued rituals of one culture strike another as strange.
Most scientists who study rituals consider their mysterious origins to be one of their defining characteristics. But recently, researchers have come to realize that before rituals become purely social and highly peculiar, many have started out as attempts to avoid disasters.
Ritualized ways of preparing food or cleaning the body, for example, have emerged as ways to prevent disease. Many rituals also provide psychological comfort during times of hardship. Today, humans are adopting new behaviors although it’s too early to tell whether any of these behaviors will become truly ritualized. It will only be the case when the social significance of the behavior takes precedence over its practical use. This is what sets rituals apart from other cultural practices, such as cooking.
Not all rituals are effective because we don’t always understand what is producing the risk we are trying to control. But some do work. In the Indian state of Bihar, where maternal and infant death rate at birth remains high, 269 rituals are associated with pregnancy and birth. A significant proportion of these rituals, such as preparing the nutritious food, are perfectly in accord with modem medical advice. Many others are likely neutral while the ones, such as bathing the infant immediately after birth, are viewed as risky just because of practical limitations such as a lack of clean water.
The relationship between medicine and rituals is also interesting. “It is important to keep in mind that to most people, the mechanisms of modem medicine are just as opaque as rituals are,” says Legare, an expert. The practices of modem medicine are relatively new. “When a doctor tells you, I’m sorry, but there’s nothing we can do for you, that may be true, but it is very discouraging as well,” Legare says. “Therefore relevant rituals are firmly valued seemingly out of no reasons.”
63．According to the passage, what behavior can be regarded as a cultural ritual?
A．A student habitually conducts reading before sleep every day.
B．A family eat dinner at the same restaurant every weekend.
C．People eat green dumplings during the Festival of Qingming.
D．Many Chinese people used to ride bicycles to work.
64．Originally, many rituals arose in an attempt to _____.
A．make people get along with people from the same cultural group.
B．protect people from potential life threats
C．get people to identify with their own culture.
D．provide people with values when clashing with people from other cultures.
65．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Groups with different rituals can basically live together in peace.
B．The practical use of a behavior takes priority when it’s to be judged as a ritual.
C．Appropriateness of some rituals depends on local conditions.
D．When ill, people turn to rituals because they work better than medicine.
66．The best title for the passage might be _____.
A．Be cautious of the weird rituals
B．Long gone are decayed rituals
C．Ritual, the mysterious reflection of human innocence.
D．Ritual,there’s a reason for itsexistence.


八、六选四
Using a computer used to mean clicking at a mouse. Then it meant tapping on a touchscreen. Increasingly, it means simply speaking. A smartphone’s voice assistant processes 25 billion requests a month.
One group, though, has been left behind. The World Health Organisation counts 430 million people as deaf or hard of hearing. Many use sign languages to communicate. Normally, they cannot use those languages to talk to computers. 67．
People have tried to teach computers to understand sign languages. There have been plenty of claims of breakthroughs in recent years. So-called solutions range from special gloves that capture the wearer’s finger movements to software that detects distinct hand shapes. 68． In practical contexts, no case of feasibility is evident. Deaf people are more than ever disassociated from digital community.
It is easy to see why. Gloves are similar to body-worn cameras. Both require users to adapt to the needs of hearing people. Hand-shape recognition, while useful, cannot by itself handle the full complexity of sign languages. Some projects have been complimented as offering cheap alternatives to human interpreters in places like hospitals, police stations or classrooms. 69．
But things are improving. Research groups, which increasingly include deaf scientists, are asking how technology can best serve deaf people’s interests. Students of sign languages are compiling databases, known as corpora, full of examples of how the sign languages are used. Programmers are trying to turn them into useful products.
As with spoken languages, sign languages possess their own grammar, idioms and dialects. Again like spoken languages, the hard-and-fast rules of grammar books do not really capture the subtleties of everyday usage. Single signs can be shorthand for complex ideas. Like speakers, signers often take shortcuts, such as representing two-handed signs with a single hand. 70． Therefore, ways to get them easily across are vital to true understanding and communication.
A．They are criticized for somewhat sacrificing formality for conveniences.
B．These solutions, despite certain disadvantages, serve, in a way, as answers to the deaf people’s urgent needs.
C．They face the risk of being excluded from the digitalization that is taking over everyday life.
D．However, the cost of even small errors can be very high.
E.Correctly interpreting all these is much harder than recognizing spoken syllables or written letters.
F.They have won applause while isolating the very people for whom they are designed.


九、概要写作
71．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Your co-worker brings in brownies, your daughter makes cookies for a holiday party and candy is arriving from far-flung relatives. Sugar appears on almost all joyful occasions. It is celebration, festivity and family love. It’s also dangerous. Sugar, perhaps more than salt, contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease. Evidence is growing that eating an undue amount of sugar can lead to fatty liver disease, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, obesity and kidney disease.
Yet people can’t resist it. And the reason for that is pretty simple. People just can’t resist it. And we don’t mean disability to resist it in the way that people talk about delicious foods. We mean the weakness, literally, in a similar way of drugs due to the fact that the sugar manufacturers are doing everything they can to keep us hooked.
Just a few hundred years ago, concentrated sugars were essentially absent from the human diet. Sugar was a rare source of energy in the environment, and strong longings for it benefited humans for living on. Sugar longings initiated searches for sweet foods, the kinds that help us layer on fat for times of scarcity.
Today concentrated sugar is everywhere, used in approximately 75 percent of packaged foods purchased in the United States. The average American consumes anywhere from a quarter to a half pound of sugar a day. If you consider that the concentrated sugar in a single can of soda might be more than what most people would have consumed in an entire year just a few hundred years ago, you get a sense of how dramatically our environment has changed. The sweet longing that once offered an advantage now works against us.
A better approach to sugar rehab (康复) is to promote the consumption of whole, natural foods. Substituting whole foods for sweet industrial synthetic foods may be a hard sell, but in the face of an industry that is exploiting our biological nature to keep us addicted, it may be the best solution for those who need that sugar fix.

Listeners, do you know that today in America many old people are returning to school. Many of them choose to take online degree programs. They can take classes in their own time from the comfort of home. Online program is a great option for old people with mobility issues, hearing difficulties, and those with commitments at home. The best part of online program is that you can attend schools anywhere. There’s no transportation after all.
Many schools offer special services for older students. Some pair students with individual advisors. Instead of explaining complicated academic questions, these advisors are mainly responsible for getting the old informed of how the online course works. Even if you’re shy about going back to school, online courses offer a strong sense of security. And if you are willing, you have plenty of chances to communicate with classmates to relieve loneliness and boredom seniors often feel.
Speaking of finance, an online degree program can be much cheaper than on-campus classes, and online course materials generally cost less. Besides, most states require public institutions to offer discounted tuition to senior residents.
A survey shows that instead of practical considerations such as career prospect or academic pursuit, the primary reason for the seniors to choose online degree programs is to make their life meaningful. After all, one is never too old to learn. Many senior students show the determination and courage that can set an admirable example for the younger generation. (Now listen again.)
Questions
11. What is the biggest advantage of online degree programs for seniors?
12. What do individual advisors mainly do?
13. What is the main purpose for seniors to take online programs?

Shoppers, when you are out shopping, you may feel like you’re always stuck at the end of the longest waiting line. Will you stick with the queue? Or will you change to another queue? Now, a system called ZipLine is promising to help you by using sensors to tell the fastest queue.
The technology, developed by Cambridge Consultants looks at the length of queues and how fast they are moving to work out which is the best one to join.
The sensor data are then changed into useful information which can be displayed through a shopper’s phone app.
While customers worry about the leak of privacy, the firm behind ZipLine claims there are no privacy issues concerning the data it captures, as it does not obtain any key information like face image or body size from people.
ZipLine is also different from existing queue monitoring systems as it can handle queues that are not all in the same place. The concept combines the sensors with a long-range, low-power radio network. It works over a number of miles and the technology could combine queue information from multiple outlets.
Experts believe that the ZipLine concept shows how modem technology can aid shops by improving the customer experience. Working with shops, the ZipLine system has been combined into some department stores’ own app. That means it is free for customers to download. And in the future, the company is going to use certain technology to offer the queue length information to customers on their phone without the need to use an app at all.
(Now listen again.)
Questions
14 How could ZipLine decide on the best queue to join for customers?
15. According to ZipLine, why isn’t customers’ privacy in danger?
16. How is ZipLine different from other queue monitoring systems?
17. What is the future development of ZipLine?

M: Hello, Jane. How is your off-campus practical training going?
W: Well, I should say it is a very busy but meaningful experience. I have to work 25 hours a week in a local drugstore.
M: It must be very interesting.
W: Mm. The job is difficult. I have to assist the chemist with various complicated tasks. Every time we have to double check to make sure that the prescription is not misread. Filling the prescription also requires particular care. No mistakes are allowed.
M: I see. It’s really difficult.
W: And providing medical consultation to different customers takes much of a chemist’s time and energy.
M: Some customers are tough.
W: Yeah, strong communication skills are important. But what matters most to a chemist is an excellent medical qualification. After all, it’s about human health.
M: I quite agree.
W: Through the training, I feel that my knowledge of medical properties has improved a lot. I have learned how to deal with difficult patients as well. And above all, I learn to take the responsibility, which I believe will see me through my whole university life and future career.
M: Excellent. But if I am not wrong, you still have to attend lectures on campus, right?
W: Yeah. Four lectures a week and two research papers are due this semester.
M: But how can you manage so many tasks in one semester?
W: You know, I try to take lectures two afternoons in a row and then work in the drugstore for three whole days. In that way a lot of travel time is saved. Can you believe that I have even squeezed in some time for the gym despite my fully booked schedule?
M: Wow. Good for you.(Now listen again.)

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员正在探讨如何让电脑能够正确解读手语，进而服务于聋人，让聋人不被科技时代所排斥。
67．
根据前文“The World Health Organization counts 430 million people as deaf or hard of hearing. Many use sign languages to communicate. Normally, they cannot use those languages to talk to computers.”（世界卫生组织统计有4.3亿人是聋人或听力障碍者，许多人使用手语进行交流。通常情况下，他们不能用这些语言和计算机交流。）可知，聋哑人使用手语使得他们不能用和计算机交流，即表明这些人面临着被数字化时代的排斥风险。选项C. “They face the risk of being excluded from the digitalization that is taking over everyday life.”（他们面临着被正在接管日常生活的数字化排除在外的风险。）与文意相符，故选C。
68．
根据前文“There have been plenty of claims of breakthroughs in recent years. So-called solutions range from special gloves that capture the wearer’s finger movements to software that detects distinct hand shapes.”（最近几年有很多突破性进展。所谓的解决方案包括能够捕捉佩戴者手指运动的特殊手套，以及能够检测不同手形的软件。）后文“In practical contexts, no case of feasibility is evident. Deaf people are more than ever disassociated from digital community.”（在实际情况下，明显的是缺乏可行性的案例。聋人比以往任何时候都远离数字社区。）可知，虽说有许多突破性的进展，但这些所谓的突破缺乏现实可行性。所以此处应该是讲这些解决方案成功的同时却把真正想要使用的对象孤立了。选项F. “They have won applause while isolating the very people for whom they are designed.”（他们（这些方案）赢得了掌声却孤立了真正需要使用的人们。）与文意相符，故选F。
69．
根据前文“ Some projects have been complimented as offering cheap alternatives to human interpreters in places like hospitals, police stations or classrooms.”（一些项目被称赞作为在医院、警察局或教室等地方提供廉价的翻译替代品。）可知，提到了项目带给人们的优越性。所以接下来肯能谈论的是从相反的角度来讲这些项目同样会有问题。选项D. “However, the cost of even small errors can be very high.”（然而，即使是很小的错误，代价也是很高的。）在逻辑上与前文内容相符，故选D。
70．
根据前文“As with spoken languages, sign languages possess their own grammar, idioms and dialects.”（和口语一样，手语也有自己的语法、习语和方言。）“Like speakers, signers often take shortcuts, such as representing two-handed signs with a single hand.”（和说话以样，手势使用者经常走捷径，比如用一只手表示双手手势的含义。）后文“Therefore, ways to get them easily across are vital to true understanding and communication.”（因此，让他们容易相互理解的方法对于真正的理解和沟通是至关重要的。）可知，因为手语的识别很复杂，所以手语的准确解读对于相互理解和沟通是重要的。选项E.“Correctly interpreting all these is much harder than recognizing spoken syllables or written letters.”（正确理解所有这些要比识别口语音节或书面字母难得多。）说明了手语使用的复杂，与文意相符，故选E。

I'm sorry to know you are at the risk of being shut down because of the rising rent and fierce competition.

Third, you can arrange your decorations and put an advertisement in your Wechat circle to promote your noodles and dishes and attact more customers.
At last I wish you a booming business
Yours,
