At school they met a wise man who led them to a treasure a library of old books with tales more fascinating than any they had ever heard. (21) _(inspire), the brothe

15、rs began collecting their own stories, listening to the folktales people told them. Soon they produced their own treasure a book of fairy tales that would charm millions in faraway lands for generations (22) _(come).The brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, named their story collection Childrens and Ho

16、usehold Tales and published it in Germany in 1812. The collection (23)_(translate) into more than 160 languages up to now. The stories and their characters continue to feature in virtually every media: theatre, opera, comic books, movies, paintings, rock music, advertising and fashion. Such fame wou

17、ld have shocked the modest Grimms. During their lifetimes the collection (24)_(sell) few copies in Germany. The early editions were not even aimed at children. They had no illustrations, and scholarly footnotes took up almost as much space as the tales (25) _. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm began their wor

18、k at a time (26)_ Germany had been occupied by the French under Napoleon. The new rulers restricted local culture. As young scholars, the brothers Grimm began to work on the fairy tale collection in order to save the endangered oral storytelling tradition of Germany.(27)_ the brothers implied that t

19、hey were just keeping records of tales, Wilhelm continued to polish and reshape the stories up to the final edition of 1857. In an effort to make them more acceptable to children and their parents, he stressed the moral of each tale and emphasized gender roles. To this day, parents still read them t

20、o their children because they approve of the lessons in the stories: keep your promises, dont talk to strangers, work hard, obey your parents.Yet (28)_ all Wilhelms additions, the most important partof these stories was left untouched. The cruel treatment of children and the violent punishments hand

21、ed out to the stories bad guys are too much for some parents.So what accounts for their popularity? Some have suggested that it is (29)_ the characters are always striving for happiness. But the truth probably lies in their origin. Grimms tales were born out of a storytelling tradition without bound

22、aries (界限) of age or culture. The brothers skill was to translate these into a universal style of writing that seems to mirror (30)_ moods or interests we bring to our reading of them. And so it was that the Grimms fairy tales lived happily ever after.Section BDirections: Complete the following pass

23、age by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. distributedB. absolutelyC. infections D. consumeE. harborF. relianceG. potential H. specific I. originate J. respectivelyK. revealedMicroplastic PollutionIn the past few years, scie

24、ntists have found microplastics in our soil, tap water, bottled water, beer and even in the air we breathe. And theres growing concern about the _31_ health risks they pose to humans.The new analysis in the UK have discovered microplastics widely _32_ across all 10 lakes and rivers sampled. More tha

25、n 1,000 small pieces of plastic per litre were found in the River Tame, which was _33_ last year as the most polluted place tested worldwide. Even in relatively remote places such as the Falls of Dochart and Loch Lomond in Scotland, two or three pieces per litre were found.Microplastics are not a _3

26、4_ kind of plastic, but rather any type of small pieces of plastic that is less than 5 mm in length according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. They may _35_ from a variety of sources, including cosmetics, clothing, and industrial processes.Humans are known to _36_ the tin

27、y plastic particles through food and water, but the possible health effects on people and ecosystems have yet to be determined. One study, in Singapore, has found that microplastics can _37_ harmful microbes (微生物).Research by the National University of Singapore found more than 400 types of bacteria

28、 on 275 pieces of microplastic collected from local beaches. They included insects that cause gastroenteritis (腸胃炎) and wound _38_ in humans.“Microplastics are being found _39_ everywhere but we do not know the harm they could be doing,” said Christian Dunn at Bangor University, Wales, who led the w

29、ork. “Its no use looking back in 20 years time and saying: If only wed realized just how bad it was. We need to be monitoring our waters now and we need to think, as a country and a world, how we can be reducing our _40_ on plastic.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in th

30、e following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Since 2008, the average labour-force participation rate of 55- to 64-year-olds in OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries has

31、 risen by eight percentage points. A new OECD report, “Working Better with Age”, points out that the employment of older workers is _41_, if prosperity is to be maintained. That can be taken as a sign that our society is finally _42_ the value of its older employees.Retirement gives you the chance t

32、o sleep late and avoid the morning rush hours. No longer do you have to sit through endless meetings or check email frequently. But work can keep the mind active and gives people a _43_ in life. The first month of retirement may seem pleasant, but _44_ is sure to come. Grand plans to learn languages

33、 and travel the world can quickly lose their appeal. _45_, the company of colleagues provides a social network; spending all week at home can lead to loneliness. Working longer should be easier now that most jobs require _46_, rather than manual, labour. Of course, many people are working longer not

34、 because they enjoy what they do, but because they cannot afford to _47_. That is not just because governments have been pushing up the state retirement age. _48_, the average age at which people actually retire differs from the official age by several years. In part, that is because many people do

35、not rely on the state pension as their only source of income and need work-related pensions to supplement it. However, companies are gradually _49_ pensions linked to final salaries with “defined contribution” schemes. Under the latter, workers end up with a pot of savings at retirement that needs t

36、o be _50_. The income from such pots has been reduced by very low interest rates. Women tend to have smaller retirement pots (thanks to their years spent raising children), making their difficulties even more _51_. They need to keep working.Older workers may feel _52_ , particularly when it comes to

37、 promotion. Two issues seem to hold _53_ back. The first is that older workers tend to _54_ higher salaries, because of the seniority system. The second is a _55_ of skills；one in three 55- to 65-year-olds in OECD countries either lack computer experience or cannot pass technology tests. Such proble

38、ms can be resolved with proper training, but the over-55s should take it upon themselves to keep up with technological changes. 41. A. shortsightedB. vitalC. adequateD. unnecessary42.

41、n BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Agnes de Mill

42、e was a dancer and a choreographer (編舞). Early in her career, de Mille had created the choreography for a ballet called Three Virgins and a Devil. She thought it was good work, but nobody made much of it.A few years later, de Mille choreographed a ballet named Rodeo. Again, she thought her work was

43、solid, but it resulted in little commercial fame.Then, in 1943, de Mille choreographed Oklahoma!, a musical show that enjoyed nearly instant success. In the coming years, Oklahoma! would run for an incredible 2,212 performances, both around the nation and abroad. In 1955, the film version won an Aca

44、demy Award.But the success of Oklahoma! didnt bring her much happiness. She thought that her work on Oklahoma! was only average compared to some of her other creations. She later said, “After the opening of Oklahoma!, I suddenly had unexpected success for a work I thought was only fairly good, after

45、 years of neglect for work I thought was fine. I began to think that perhaps my entire scale of values was untrustworthy. I talked to Martha.”Martha was Martha Graham, perhaps the most influential dance choreographer of the 20th century. (Although not as well-known by the general public, Graham has

46、been compared to other creative geniuses like Picasso or Frank Lloyd Wright.)During their conversation, de Mille told Martha Graham about her frustration. “I confessed that I had a burning desire to be excellent, but no faith that I could be.” Graham responded by saying,“There is a vitality, a life

47、force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to det

48、ermine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”56.

52、al houses. These 20-or 40-foot containers can be obtained for a little as several hundred US dollars apiece, and its not surprising that some industry professionals and even city planners consider them the future of home building. Below are details of some amazing homes made out of shipping containe

53、rs.London Container City(I and II)Londons Container City first sprang up in the heart of the docklands in 2001. It took just five months to complete the original 12 work studios. Shortly after that, a fourth floor of studios and living apartments was built on top of these. The first container city w

54、as so successful that another Container City II was added to it.Los Angeles Redondo Beach houseWith its modern lines and appealing spaces, the award-winning Redondo Beach House is a luxury beachside showpiece built from eight recycled steel shipping containers, along with some traditional building m

55、aterials. According to the architects, the modified containers are “nearly indestructible”.Amsterdam KeetwonenAmsterdams massive Keetwonen complex houses 1,000 students and it is the largest container city in the world. The housing project is a roaring success and features units that are quiet and c

56、omfortable. Each resident enjoys a bathroom, kitchen and separate sleeping and studying quarters. The complex even has central heating and high-speed internet as well as areas for parking bikes.Mexico M2ATK Container HouseM2ATK designed this unique container house for an artist.

60、east coast, Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla, an electric-car maker, announced that some of his customers in the storms path would find that their cars had suddenly developed the ability to drive farther on a single battery charge. Like many modern vehicles, Mr. Musks products are best thought of as int

61、ernet-connected computers on wheels. The cheaper models in Teslas line-up have parts of their batteries disabled by the cars software in order to limit their range. At the tap of a keyboard in Palo Alto, the firm was able to remove those restrictions and give drivers temporary access to the full pow

62、er of their batteries. Mr. Musks computerized cars are just one example of a much broader trend. As computers and connectivity become cheaper, it makes sense to bake them into more and more things that are not, in themselves, computers, creating an “internet of things”. Such a world will bring many

63、benefits. Consumers will get convenience, and products that can do things non-computerized versions cannot. Businesses will get efficiency, as information about the physical world that used to be uncertain becomes concrete and analyzable.In the long term, though, the most obvious effects will be in how the world works. Ever more companies will
