第3段:像这样不仅影响动物还影响人类,所以人类也需要想办法来解决。
第4段:全球变暖会使北极的冰川融化得更快,南极也会逐步受到影响。
③ 한국 신여성의 등장, 이화학당
1886年韩国创立了西式女校,梨花学堂,但当时招不到女学生,于是老师们去学生家里一个个拜访,让家里的女儿姐妹去上学。当时有极少数女性去上学,而且跟随流行改变发型,穿短裙高跟鞋,这样的她们被称为新女性,同时也展现了她们的特性。为了卫生和活动方便,女性开始穿短裙留短发,而男性认为女性应该留长发。但是,通过穿着得不同和活得不同,区分了“新(女性)”和“旧(女性)”。另外,短裙和高跟鞋不仅是装扮上的意义,也反映了新女性希望自由恋爱,获得与丈夫同等地位的现象,也展现了新女性追求不一样生活的愿望。
④ 서울시, 걷는 서울, 서울의 발, 서울의 숲, 서울광장
首尔作为首都,是经济政治文化的中心,虽然发展到了一定程度,也有一些发展时遗留下的问题。而政府准备打造一个人们生活质量较高,亲环境,传统与现代结合的都市。为了实现一个“步行的首尔”,政府决定改建步行道路,实施公共交通的专用路线制度。为了人们能感受到亲环境的都市,清理了清溪川,让情侣们在溪边能度过美好的夜晚,人们还能在江边钓鱼,不仅如此,政府还设立了首尔广场以及孩子们能体验的首尔森林等。

② 中翻韩,主题:民族语言文字工作
大致内容:在实现中华民族伟大复兴和构建中华民族命运共同体的宏伟事业中,促进各民族交往交流交融是必然途径。交往交流交融,贵在交心。语言互通是交往和交流的基本前提。做好语言文字工作,是中华民族实现伟大复兴的重要抓手。基础性、全局性、社会性和全民性是语言文字事业的重要特点。

Questions 51-56 are based on the following passage.
Awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1918, German physicist Max Planck is best remembered as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped usher in a new era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community's understanding of atomic and subatomic processes.
Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later called quantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals hv. The constant, h, is known as Planck's constant. It is now recognized as one of the fundamental constants of the world.
Planck announced his findings in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, among other fields.
51. In which of the following fields did Max Planck NOT make a significant contribution?
A. Optics. B. Thermodynamics. C. Statistical mechanics. D. Biology.
52. The word ”revolutionary“ as used in Line 16 means .
A. radical C. momentous B. extremist D. militaristic
53. It can be inferred from the passage that Planck's work led to the development of which of the following?
A. The rocket. B. The atomic bomb. C. The internal combustion engine. D. The computer.
54. The particles of electromagnetic radiation given off by matter are known as .
A. quantums B. atoms C. electrons D. valences
55. The implication in this passage is that .
A. only a German physicist could discover such a theory
B. quantum theory, which led to the development of twentieth century physics, is basically a mathematical formula
C. Planck's constant was not discernible before 1900
D. radiation was hard to study
56. ”An idea“ as used in Line 5, refers to .
A. a model of matter B. emission of electromagnetic radiation C. Quantums
D. the equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of Iow to high frequencies
Questions 57-62 are based on the following passage.
There has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commis sion decided that the modern game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter of record that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called ”baseball“. Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and different names in various parts of the country - ”town ball“, ”rounders“, or ”one old cat“. Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of the game.
Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rules Cartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modern baseball. The game was played on a”diamond“ infield with the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur teams. The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.
57. Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball?
A. Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.
B. Baseball, as played in the early 19th century, differed very little from today's game.
C. As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called ”baseball“.
D. The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn of the century.
58. What was the first professional baseball team called?
A. New York Knickerbockers. B. Milwaukee Braves. C. Cincinnati Red Stockings. D. Brooklyn Dodgers.
59. Who first gave baseball a standard set of rules?
A. Abner Doubleday. B. Alexander Cartwright. C. Albert Spalding. D. Babe Ruth.
60. Which of the following was NOT a predecessor of baseball?
A. Rounders. B. Town ball. C. Cricket. D. One old cat.
61. The tone of the passage is .
A. persuasive B. informative C. biased D. argumentative
62. The passage implies that until 1869, baseball was played for all of the following reasons EXCEPT .
A. exercise B. leisure C. profit D. socializing
Questions 63-68 are base~l on the following passage.
The blue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight by tiny particles suspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more efficiently than light of longer wavelengths. Although waters of the open ocean are commonly some shade of blue, green water is commonly seen near coasts, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. rf'his is caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water. Phytoplankton are one source of the yellow pigment. Other microscopic plants may color the water brown or brownish-red. Near the shore, silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue. Outflow oflarge rivers can often be observed many miles offshore by the coloration of suspended soil particles.
Marine phytoplankton (Greek for ”plant wanderers“) are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatorns, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, green algae, and blue-green algae, among others. The growth of these organisms, which photosynthesize light, depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing, which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and light. Diatorns are one-celled plants with patterned glass coverings. Each glass, or silicon dioxide box, is ornamented with species-specific designs, pits, and perforations making them popular with microscopists and, more recently, electron scanning microscopists.
63. Green water near coastlines is almost always caused by .
A. sand color B. red pigments in coastal waters
C. blue pigment D. reflected light and yellow pigment from plant life
64. Phytoplankton are the source of which color pigment?
A. Red. B. Green. C. Yellow. D. Blue.
65. What can give waters a brownish hue near the shore?
A. Sediment. B. Phytoplankton. C. Blue pigment. D. Diatoms.
66. Which of the following is NOT a type of phytoplankton?
A. Green algae. B. Diatoms. C. Blue-green algae. D. Amoeba.
67. The growth of phytoplankton is often limited by the availability of
A. oxygen B. hydrogen C. nitrogen D. carbon dioxide
68. The main idea of this passage is that .
A. light causes sea color
B. sea coloration is varied because of a combination of length of light waves and microscopic plant life and silt
C. microscopic plant life causes sea color
D. water composition causes sea color
Questions 69-75 are based on the following passage.
The United States government publishes guidelines for appropriate nutrient intakes. These are known as the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition. RDAs are suggested amounts of calories, protein, and some minerals and vitamins for an adequate diet. For other dietary substances, specific goals must await further research. However, for the population as a whole, increasing starch and fiber in one's diet and reducing calories (primarily from fats, sugar, and alcohol) is sensible. These suggestions are especially appropriate for people who have other factors for chronic diseases due to family history of obesity, premature heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, or for those who use tobacco.
Snacks can furnish about one-fourth of the calorie requirements among teenagers. Those snacks should also provide much of the day's allowances for protein, minerals, and vitamin Sandwiches, fruit, and milk make good snacks for active teenagers. Food from the food pyramid may be part of any meal. A grilled cheese sandwich or a bowl of whole-grain cereal is just as nutritious in the morning as it is at noon. In addition, a good breakfast consists of any foods that supply about one-fourth of the necessary nutrients for the day.
69. The passage directly states that most of the U,S. population should increase their intake of .
A. protein B. fats C. starch and fiber D. sandwiches
70. A good breakfast should supply about what percentage of the necessary nutrients for the day?
A. One half. B. One-third. C. One-fourth. D. Less than one-fourth.
71. The passage implies which of the following?
A. The time of day when food is consumed affects its nutritive value.
B. Different foods can be combined to increase total nutrition value.
C. It can be detrimental to your health to eat breakfast foods later in the day.
D. When food is eaten has no bearing on its nutritive effects.

Questions 76- 81 are based on the following passage.
The most popular organic gem is the pearl. A pearl is the response of a marine mollusk to the presence of an irritating impurity accidentally introduced into its body; a cultured pearl is the result of the intentional insertion of a mother-of-pearl bead into a live mollusk. Whether introduced accidentally or intentionally, the pearl-making process is the same: the mollusk coats the irritant with a substance called nacre. Nacre is composed chiefly of calcium carbonate.

Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of tree barks and leaves which today are known to contain a chemical found in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States.
A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by affecting some of the body's reactions, Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice.

A good translator is by definition bilingual. The opposite is not (l) true, however. A born and bred bilingual will still need two (2) to become a translator: first, the skills and experience necessary for (3); second, knowledge of the field in which he or shewill (4). The skills and experience for translation include the ability to write (5) in the target language, the ability to read and understand the (6) language material thoroughly, and the ability to work with the latest (7) and communication hardware and software.
Does a born and bred bilingual (8) a better translator than someone who learned language B later in (9) ? There is no definite answer, but the following issues are important. (10), a born and bred bilingual often suffers from not truly knowing (11) language well enough to translate, with some even suffering from what (12) known as a lingualism, a state in which a person lacks (13) full, fluent command of any language. Second, born and bred bilinguals (14) don’t know the culture of the target language well enough to (15) top-quality translations, or cannot recognize what aspects of the source language (16) its culture need to be treated with particular care, as they (17) in a sense too close to the language.

On ( 19) other hand, the acquired bilingual may not have the same in-depth (20) of colloquialism, slang, and dialect that the born bilingual has. Also. the acquired bilingual will not be able to translate as readily in both directions (from B to language A and A to language B). Finally, born bilinguals often have a greater appreciation of the subtleties and nuances of both their languages than someone who learns their B language later in life can ever hope to have.

Questions 51-56 are based on the following passage.
Awardedthe Nobel Prize for physics in 1918, German physicist Max Planck is bestremembered as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped usher in anew era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community’sunderstanding of atomic and subatomic processes.
Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to highfrequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later calledquantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals hv. The constant, h, is known as Planck’s constant. It is now recognized as one of the fundamental constants of the world.
Planck announced his findings in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, among other fields.
which of the following fields did Max Planck not make a significantcontribution?
B. Thermodynamics. C. Statistical mechanics. D. Biology.
word “revolutionary” as used in line 16 means .

theory, which led to the development of twentieth century physics, is basically a mathematical formula
’s constant was not discernible before 1900
was hard to study
56.“An idea” as used in line 5, refers to .

of electromagnetic radiation
equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over therange of low to high frequencies
Questions 57-62are based on the following passage.
There has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commission decided that themodern game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter ofrecord that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called “baseball”。Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and differentnames in various parts of the country — “town ball”, “rounders”, or “one oldcat”。 Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of thegame.
Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rulesCartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modern baseball. The game was played on a “diamond” infieldwith the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.
of the following is true about the origins of baseball?
agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.
, as played in the early 19th century, differed very little fromtoday’s game.

Questions 63-68are based on the following passage.
Theblue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight by tiny particlessuspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more efficiently than light of longer wavelengths. Althoughwaters of the open ocean are commonly some shade of blue, green water iscommonly seen near coasts, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. Thisis caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water. Phytoplankton are onesource of the yellow pigment. Other microscopic plants may color the waterbrown or brownish-red. Near the shore, silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue. Outflow of large rivers can often be observed many miles offshore by the coloration of suspendedsoil particles.
Marine phytoplankton (Greek for “plant wanderers”) are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, green algae, and blue-green algae, among others. The growth of these organisms, whichphotosynthesize light, depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing, which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and light. Diatoms are one-celled plants with patterned glass coverings. Each glass, or silicon dioxide box, is ornamented with species-specific designs, pits, and perforations making them popular with microscopists and, morerecently, electron scanning microscopists.
water near coastlines is almost always caused by .

Questions 69-75are based on the following passage.
The United States government publishes guidelines for appropriate nutrient intakes. These are known as the RecommendedDietary Allowances (RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition. RDAs are suggested amounts of calories, protein, and some minerals and vitamins for an adequate diet. For other dietary substances, specific goals must await further research. However, forthe population as a whole, increasing starch and fiber in one’s diet andreducing calories (primarily from fats, sugar, and alcohol) is sensible. These suggestions are especially appropriate forpeople who have other factors for chronic diseases due to family history of obesity, premature heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, or for those who usetobacco.
Snacks can furnish about one-fourth of the calorie requirements among teenagers. Those snacks should also provide much of the day’s allowances for protein, minerals, and vitamins. Sandwiches, fruit, and milk make good snacksfor active teenagers. Food from the food pyramid may be part of any meal. A grilled cheese sandwich or a bowl of whole-grain cereal is just as nutritious in the morning as it is at addition, a good breakfast consists of any foods that supply aboutone-fourth of the necessary nutrients for the day.

Questions 61-70 are based on the following passage.
Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of autumn in the Catskills.
These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are famous for the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that sprang up in the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities.
Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at different times of the year. Many of the Catskills hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today’s visitors.
Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the Office of Public Information.

Questions 71-80 are based on the following passage.
First, of course, it is plain that in a few years everyone will have at his elbowseveral times more mechanical energy than he has today.
Second, there will be advances in biological knowledge as far-reaching asthose that have been made in physics. We are only beginning to learn that we cancontrol our biological environment as well as our physical one. Starvation has beenprophesied twice to a growing world population: by Malthus about billion andby Crookes about billion. It was headed off the first time by taking agriculture toAmerica and the second time by using the new fertilizers. Soon starvation will beheaded off by the control of the diseases and the heredity of plants and animals —by shaping our own biological environment.
And third,1 come back to the haunting theme of automation. The mostcommon species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simplemachine — the operator. Before long he will be as extinct as the hand-loom weaverand the dodo (老古董)。 The repetitive tasks of industry will be taken over by themachines, as the heavy tasks were taken over long ago; and the mental tedium willgo the way of physical we still distinguish,even amongrepetitive jobs, between the skilled and the unskilled, but in a few years to come allrepetition will be unskilled.

Questions 81-90 are based on the following passage.
Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people.
“The burnt child fears the fire” is one instance; another is the rise of despots like Hitler. Both examples also point up the fact that attitudes stem from experience. In one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were indoctrinated largely by the speeches they heard and the books they read.
The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose word they respect.
Another reason it is true is that pupils often delve somewhat deeply into a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who had previously acquired little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.
The media through which the teacher can develop wholesome attitudes are innumerable. Social studies (with special reference to races, creeds and nationalities), science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom… these are a few of the fertile fields for the inculcation of proper emotional reactions.
However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is
unwise for the teacher to attempt to change their feelings by cajoling or scolding them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experiences.
To illustrate, first grade pupils afraid of policemen will probably alter their attitudes after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips.
Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be deleterious if she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions on which children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions as a result of objective analysis of all the facts.
81、 The central idea of the above passage is that ________.
A. attitudes affect our actions
B. teachers are important in developing or changing pupils’ attitudes
C. attitudes can be changed by some classroom experiences
D. by their attitudes, teachers inadvertently affect pupils’ attitudes
