　　请阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出较佳选项。

　　Last year, I heard about the Himalayas and the melting of the ice because of climate change. I decided to do a __36__ swim underneath Mt. Everest, the highest mountain on this earth.

　　When we got up to the small lake underneath the summit of Mt. Everest, I prepared myself in __37__ ways, for this swim would be so difficult. I put on my iPod, listened to some music, got myself as __38__ as possible and then I __39__ myself into that water. I swam as __40__ as I could for the first hundred meters. Afterwards I __41__ the huge problem on my hands. My fingers were __42__ the size of sausages because—you know, we're made partially of water—when water freezes it __43__. I then could barely breathe, began to __44__ and even threw up in the water. It all happened so quickly. I don't know why, but I went __45__. Luckily, the water was quite shallow, and I was able to push myself __46__ the bottom of the lake. I've heard it said that drowning is the most __47__ death you can have.

Every single thing you've learned in the past 23 years of swimming, you must __52__. And also the every single thing you learned when you were __53__ in the British army, about speed and aggression. This is the time to swim with real __54__.”

　　I can't tell how good and __55__ I felt when I swam to the other side two days later. But I learned a very, very important lesson there on Mt. Everest: just because something worked in the past so well, it doesn't mean it's going to work in the future.

　　第三部分　阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分，30分)

　　请阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出较佳选项。

　　A

　　Lisbon to Sintra Overview

　　Sintra is 25km to the west of Lisbon. We strongly discourage driving to Sintra, as the narrow hill roads are not designed for the heavy tourist traffic and there is virtually no car parking once there. There are bus services to Sintra, but the journey times are longer than by train and the locations of the bus stations are not as convenient as the train stations.

　　The trains to Sintra are operated by the national train company of Portugal. There are two rail routes between Lisbon to Sintra, both equally useful for tourists. These services are：

　　1) Rossio Station to Sintra

　　2) Oriente station to Sintra, via Areeiro, Entrecampos, and Sete Rios stations

　　The Rossio service is the one typically used by most visitors, as it departs from the historic centre of Lisbon. The train departing from Oriente station is generally used by those visitors travelling onward to Sintra, as this route is closer to the airport, the main bus stations and train station.

　　As the Lisbon to Sintra railway is an urban route, tickets and seats cannot be pre­booked, but there is no real need as there is usually plenty of free seats. Due to the popularity of Sintra there can be long queues at Rossio station for tickets, our advice is always start a trip to Sintra as early in the day as possible.

　　All of Lisbon's train stations are considered as being in the same fare zone, so no matter the departing station the fare to Sintra will always be the same. A single from Lisbon to Sintra passes through four fare zones and costs 2.15/1.10 (adult/child). There are no reductions for a return ticket, and the return fare will be the price of two singles.

　　(　　)56. To visit Sintra, travelers are advised to ________.

　　A. go there by train for safety reasons caused by narrow hill roads

　　B. take a bus there as there is a lack of car parking for self­drivers

　　C. book tickets beforehand in order to secure a seat on the train

　　D. set out early if taking Rossio route for fear of long ticket time

　　(　　)57. If two parents with a child start from Lisbon airport for a day's visit to Sintra and then come back by train, they will ________.

B. take the Rossio route and pay10.8 for the fare
C. take the Oriente route and pay16.2 for the fare
D. take the Rossio route and pay16.2 for the fare

　　B

　　We've all heard it before: to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3：45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3：30 am and Richard Branson at 5：45 am—and, as we know, “the early bird catches the worm.”

　　But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it's a trait most of them share? And if the idea of having exercised, planned your day, eaten breakfast, visualised and done one task before 8 am makes you want to roll over and hit snooze till next Saturday, are you really doomed to a less successful life?

　　For about half of us, this isn't really an issue. It's estimated that some 50% of the population isn't really morning or evening­oriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward bright­eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the effects can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.

　　Numerous studies have found that morning people are more self­directed and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they're less likely to be depressed, drink or smoke.

　　Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Night­time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls are as healthy and wise as morning types—and a little bit wealthier.

　　Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material? Don't set your alarm for 5 am just yet. As it turns out, overhauling(大修) your sleep times may not have much effect.

　　“If people are left to their naturally preferred times, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader，” says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin(褪黑激素). “Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological consequences，” Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose(葡萄糖)—which can cause weight gain.

　　(　　)58. What does the author do in the first three paragraphs?

　　A. raising the problem—analyzing the problem—solving the problem

　　B. leading in the topic—challenging a viewpoint—discussing about the topic

　　C. presenting author's viewpoint—providing supporting proofs—making a conclusion

　　D. introducing a viewpoint—raising the question—presenting author's viewpoint

　　(　　)59. What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraph?

　　A. Morning types are more conservative but more optimistic.

　　B. To beat night­time people, ask them to do math calculation in the morning.

　　C. Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.

　　D. Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones.

　　(　　)60. Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support?

　　A. Don't fall asleep in front of the TV. B. Avoid being regularly late for work.

　　C. Stop setting your alarm for 5 am. D. Better not overhaul your sleep times.

　　(　　)61. Why does the author write this article?

　　A. To explain why some people are more successful.

　　B. To compare the differences between early risers and night owls.

　　C. To advise people to get up neither too early nor too late.

　　D. To argue against the view that the early bird catches the worm.

　　C

　　GPS technology is one of the latest and greatest developments within the communications world. Also known as a “global positioning system，” this technology works off of radio signals sent out by satellites in space. Since a cell phone already works like a two-way radio when communicating with cell towers, the GPS capability simply extends the radio signal reach to space satellites. Phones equipped with full­featured capabilities work off of Java-based radio signals and have database access to their providers' system for other data like mapping and voices. Location tracking, and giving directions to and from destinations are some of the more common uses for this technology.

　　GPS navigational systems are supported by a network of 27 satellites. These satellites orbit the Earth in cyclic patterns 24 hours a day. At any given time, a minimum of four satellites signals is accessible to any one point on Earth. Whenever a receiver device is activated, radio waves with coded messages are sent out to it. This is how satellites know to start tracking the device. A receiver's exact location is determined through a process called trilateration(三边测量法) where three satellites work together to narrow down possible location points. A fourth satellite is needed if the receiver isn't on the ground and altitude is wanted as well. Distance calculations are made based on how long it takes the radio signals to travel back and forth between receiver and satellites. The mapping capabilities are displayed on the phone's screen via the cell provider's database.

　　As a GPS device needs to do all kinds of calculations on different data from satellites and provider's database，it consumes time. So it can take quite a few seconds for a regular GPS to work out a plan. An assisted GPS can help solve the problem. It is an improved technology that uses a cell network's Assistance Server which is connected to a reference network such as the Internet. Through the use of cell towers，a phone relays satellite signal information to the servers. These servers are able to process incoming data at much higher rates than GPS receivers，so information is processed quicker，and is typically more accurate.

　　(　　)62. What does the underlined word “their” refer to?

　　A. satellites' B. phones' C. signals' D. capabilities'

　　(　　)63. Which of the following is right according to the information in the text?

　　A. Phone GPS is a new technology unrelated to a cell phone's original functions.

　　B. A mobile phone works as a signal receiver and processor in phone GPS system.

　　C. Each mobile phone is assigned four fixed satellites for their coded messages.

　　D. Mapping capabilities and distance calculations are affected by the speed of radio signals.

　　(　　)64. What do we know about the Assistance Server in the Assisted GPS?

　　A. It can speed up calculating process of a regular GPS receiver.

　　B. It is part of the cell network directly connected to the internet and the phone.

　　C. It has a better functioning performance in processing received radio signals.

　　D. It helps the Assisted GPS to receive different data more accurately in bad conditions.

　　Myth was born in childhood of human being. It is a product of ancient imaginations, which can conquer nature，dominate nature and make the power of nature have its own image. It is a cultural phenomenon in civilized society.

　　China and Greece are birthplaces of Orient and Western civilizations. Prime Minister Constantine Caramanlis of Greece once pointed out: “The civilization of China brought light to the Far East and the whole of Asia，as Greece thought，the cornerstone of European civilization，brought light to the West.” However，for some reasons，there are many differences between Chinese and Greek myth，which show their own unique national spirits and moral principles.

　　The ancestors of Chinese nation lived on land before one million and seven hundred thousand years. After long uncivilized times, ancient Chinese gradually created civilization. In prehistory, ancient Chinese lived and struggled. Most ancestors' achievements of tribes have been passed down orally. This is old myth. According to some archaeological materials, single myth, which has the meaning of totem(图腾), had appeared in the Late Palaeolithic Age. As the mental belief, totem is the holiest and the most beautiful symbol in ancient tribes' mind. It is their aesthetic conception(审美观). On the contrary, the history of Greece is shorter, and Greek myth produced later than Chinese myth. It produced in about eleventh century BC, and it was far from the age of totem worship. That was the Age of Heroes. Human wisdom had been more and more important and totem worship had tended to disappear. So ancient Greeks thought that human being was the most beautiful in the world. They gave their deities(神灵) the most beautiful images. Those are images of human beings.

　　China lies in an isolated pocket in East Asia, surrounded by impassable mountains, deserts, seas and valleys. This environment develops a continental culture where people are only looking inward, a farming culture centers on soil, discouraging any adventurous see­faring people. In addition, Chinese myth produced in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Valley. In both zones, the volume of rain is abundant all the year round. Because the soil is fertile and the resources are rich, both areas are suitable for agriculture. It became the typical continental agriculture. They would not like to take their own lives to struggle with terrifying waves, but would rather work hard in gentle land. Just the ancient Chinese who lived in this continent created this unique myth, ancient Chinese myth.

　　Contrary to China, Greece is a poor country, barren and dry. Unlike the rich river valleys Yellow River and Yangtze River, its rivers are too small to be navigable, and they dry up in the heat of the mostly rainless summers. The Greek landscape is dominated by high mountains, which occupy about three quarters of the land. As rich land was limited in Greece, to survive, ancient Greeks had to look outward. Sea is the greatest Greek natural resource. It plays a central role in the life of Greeks. The Chinese seas don't look navigable, but the Greek seas look like swimming pools. The Chinese sailor, if he happens to be bold, sails for days without any land in sight. In fact, he can easily get drowned before he has a chance to get anywhere. The Greek sailor, who is always fortunate, can spot islands in all directions on clear days. With these stepping­stones, he can reach any part of the Mediterranean to trade, to stay, to conquer and to colonize. They like to learn advanced technique and cultures from other countries. This provided living space for independence of Greek myth. Frankly speaking, marine civilization created the great Greek myth.

　　(　　)65. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. The differences between Chinese and Greek myth.

　　B. The definition of myths and why they came into existence.

　　C. The reasons for the differences between Chinese and Greek myth.

　　D. The factors resulting in Chinese myth being more advanced than Greek myth.

　　(　　)66. What can we know about the author according to what he writes in this passage?

　　A. He has a strong affection for his country's civilizations.

　　B. He holds a positive attitude towards the study of myth.

　　C. He agrees with Constanitine in terms of Greek Myth.

　　D. He presents his main point of view in an objective tone.

　　(　　)67. What can we infer from the 3rd paragraph?

　　A. Chinese myth came into being 1.7 million years earlier than Greek myth.

　　B. The appearance of totem marked the birth of Chinese civilization.

　　C. Deities in Greek myth are wiser and more beautiful than Chinese ones.

　　D. The time when the myth produced has great influence on its images.

　　第四部分　任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分，10分)

　　请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个较恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　We've been hearing feedback from our customers about the way we handle performance for iPhones with older batteries and how we have communicated that process. We know that some of you feel Apple has let you down. We apologize. There's been a lot of misunderstanding about this issue, so we would like to clarify and let you know about some changes we're making.

　　First and foremost, we have never—and would never—do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades. Our goal has always been to create products that our customers love, and making iPhones last as long as possible is an important part of that.

　　All rechargeable batteries are consumable components that become less effective as their ability to hold a charge reduces. Time and the number of times a battery has been charged are not the only factors in this chemical aging process.

　　Device use also affects the performance of a battery over its lifespan. For example, leaving or charging a battery in a hot environment can cause a battery to age faster.

　　A chemically aged battery becomes less capable of delivering peak energy loads, especially in a low state of charge, which may lead to a device unexpectedly shutting itself down in some situations.

　　It should go without saying that we think sudden, unexpected shutdowns are unacceptable. We don't want any of our users to lose a call, miss taking a picture or have any other part of their iPhone experience interrupted if we can avoid it.

　　About a year ago in iOS 10.2.1, we delivered a software update that improves power management during peak workloads to avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE. With the update, iOS dynamically manages the maximum performance of some system components when needed to prevent a shutdown. While these changes may go unnoticed, in some cases users may experience longer launch times for apps and other reductions in performance.

　　Of course，when a chemically aged battery is replaced with a new one, iPhone performance returns to normal when operated in standard conditions.

　　To address our customers' concerns, to recognize their loyalty and to regain the trust of anyone who may have doubted Apple's intentions, we've decided to take the following steps:

　　Apple is reducing the price of an out-of-warranty iPhone battery replacement by $50—from $79 to $29—for anyone with an iPhone 6 or later whose battery needs to be replaced, starting in late January and available worldwide through December 2018.

　　Early in 2018, we will issue an iOS software update with new features that give users more visibility into the health of their iPhone's battery, so they can see for themselves if its condition is affecting performance.

　　At Apple, our customers' trust means everything to us. We will never stop working to earn and maintain it. We are able to do the work we love only because of your faith and support—and we will never forget that or take it for granted.

　　第五部分　书面表达(25分)

　　请阅读下面一篇短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

　　How long could you remember what you've learnt? In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus did this exact experiment—and his results are widely accepted as a general theory for how we learn and keep information. The resulting graph is called Ebbinghaus' Forgetting Curve.

　　This theory shows if we want to learn and remember something well, we'd better do some repetition(rote memorizing) and reviewing work in a proper way. Research has shown that reviewing at regular intervals(间隔) does increase retention and that over time, less frequent review is needed.

　　Frequent review can help retention, but over time, we still tend to forget what we've learned. This is why reviewing and rote memorizing for exams can provide good results in the short term—only to lead to you forgetting everything you had quickly memorized immediately after.

　　The approach for long term retention is to focus on the quality of the information in memory and the meaning of the information to you. In plain English—the more relevant, meaningful connections you can make with the new information in your mind with things you already know, the better your memory retention over time.
