His studies earned him a place on a further course at Cambridge University, where he graduated with a first class degree. His first engine was tested in 1937. Official interest grew but it was many years before it came into use. Whittle’s invention was of great importance. It increased the speed of planes - 7 - dramatically and jet engines are now used by nearly every airline in the world. Whittle held many important jobs and became a hero in his country.

You are about to walk onto the stage and address theme. You’re expected to say something meaningful and profound and everyone is hanging on your every word. You need to be clearly spoken, confident and calm, maybe even funny. How do you feel? If you’re shaking, sweating and looking for the exit, you’re normal. Most of us are scared of public speaking and yet, as a society, we’re becoming more obsessed with hearing what people have to say: we watch endless TED talks, download podcasts and screen hours of YouTube clips. Being able to address a crowd is no longer the domain of the brave—if you want to get ahead in your career, you need to master it. I’ve done enough public speaking to have picked up some tips and tricks, and these are the ones I rely on most. The most important thing is to prepare. You don’t have to write out your speech - 19 - word by word but get the headline, three key points and the concluding sentence on paper and put bullet points under each. Then run through it and note which of your bullet points made it in and what you added. Adapt your notes and try again. Keep going until you have a structure. Now it’s time to watch yourself—yes, get out your camera and film yourself. This is how you will see the points that need work and where you can polish it up. Most of the information the audience will take away will be from your energy and your tone, a little from your words. Once you have sorted out the words, focus on how to exude(散发) the right energy—do you need confidence or humor? I go for confidence so, five minutes before a talk, I try to recall a success I’ve had. I focus on the details and aim to bring that feelings of competence to life. Finally, breathe. We cannot speak without breath, yet it is the first thing we let go of when we are nervous. Settle your breathing before you start. If you lose control of your breath in the middle, say “Let’s take a moment to think about that last point.” That gives you a pause to collect your breath. The only way to get over a fear of public speaking is to do it, again and again. You will have good and bad experiences but, if you do it enough, you’ll realize that, occasionally, it’s fun. 58. According to the author, why is public speech important to the average? A. Friendships can be established through it. B. Public speeches can display our courage. C. There are more occasions for pubic speeches. D. It is beneficial to our way up the career ladder. 59. Which of the following tips is recommended by the author? A. Preparing and writing down every detail. B. Displaying right energy during the speech. C. Watching famous films of public speeches. D. Telling key points and bullet points apart. 60. What view does the author hold about public speaking? A. It creates more and more fun if we stick to practice. B. It is easier to practise at home than to perform outside. - 20 - C. Experiences of public speaking can delight us sometimes. D. Attempts to give public speaking tend to fail in the end. 【答案】58. D 59. B 60. C 【解析】 本文为一篇说明文。文章从对演讲的恐惧讲到具体的准备和应对演讲恐惧的方法。 【58 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中 if you want to get ahead in your career, you need to master it 可知，如果你想在事业上取得成功，你需要掌握它。所以作者认为，为什么公众演讲对普 通人来说很重要是因为这对我们的职业生涯有好处。故选 D 项。 【59 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“once you have sorted out the words, focus on how to exude the right energy.”可知，一旦你整理好了这些词，就把重点放在如何释放正能量。所以我 们在演讲时需要展示正能量。故选 B 项。 【60 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“You will have good and bad experiences but, if you do it enough, you’ll realize that, occasionally, it’s fun.”(你会有好的和坏的经历，但 是，如果你做得足够多，你会偶尔意识到，它是很有趣的。)可知，作者对公众演讲持的观点 是演讲的经历有时会使我们高兴。故选 C 项。 C Throwing handfuls of bread to birds has long been seen as harmless enough. But in recent years, some scientists have suggested that bread might not do birds’ digestive systems any good, saying that as uneaten food rots down, the water quality worsens and algal blooms can occur. Plus, by encouraging birds to gather in one place, the build-up of droppings may result in outbreaks of disease too. Meanwhile, many cities have signs telling us not to feed pigeons and gulls, which are considered an “annoyance” due to the mess they make, and scattering bread inevitably attracts rats and mice. It seems that the public has accepted these warnings, and that fewer of us now feed birds this way. In October, a sign went up in a Derbyshire park claiming that - 21 - the local birds were dying of starvation, and urging visitors to feed them as before. When online posts about the notice went viral, feathers flew as people debated the benefits of handing out bread to birds. Paul Stancliffe of the British Trust for Ornithology(BTO) points out that there’s insufficient scientific evidence for bread harming birds, adding that, as little research has been done, it could even turn out to be beneficial. ① “We just don’t know,” he says. Although bread is a heavily processed “unnatural” food intended for humans, that alone may be insufficient grounds for not feeding it to birds. In the 1980s, the Wildfowl & Wetland Trust (WWT) carried out a comparative study of different flocks of mute swans, and the birds that consumed the most bread had weaker muscles, implying that a bread-heavy diet might be the cause. “Our official line is that bread is okay for ducks, geese and swans, but only in moderation,” says WWT’s Peter Morris. “However, this advice comes with several other warnings.” ② The first is that it’s best offered in winter, when there is less plant and insect food around. In spring and summer, too much artificial food may not be a good idea, since young birds have to learn how to look after themselves and natural food will contain a wider range of nutrients to help them grow. “Just like us, birds need a varied diet to stay healthy,” says a spokesperson for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds(RSPB). “Although ducks, geese and swans can digest all types of bread, too much can leave them feeling full without giving them all of the important vitamins, minerals and nutrients they need.” ③ When bird feeding first became popular in the UK in the 19th century, some Victorians encouraged tough love, arguing that such handouts would only make our feathered friends lazy and dependent on welfare. ④ Morris says that there is a theory that wild birds can get “hooked” on easy meals, losing interest in other types of food. Another danger, he says, is that birds fed regularly end up accustomed to humans, placing themselves at greater risk of predation(捕食). 61. How can feeding birds with bread affect our urban life? A. Birds’ mess can attract many rats and mice. B. Birds’ gathering in one place disturbs our peace. - 22 - C. Bread goes bad and the water quality will suffer. D. Human beings are likely to be infected with bird flu. 62. If birds rely on a bread-heavy diet, there is a strong possibility that ________. A. they will become bigger in size with stronger muscles B. lack of certain nutrients negatively influences their health C. their digestive system will be damaged by artificial food D. they would soon choose bread rather than natural food 63. Where does the sentence “Such moralizing sounds old-fashioned nowadays, but may have a grain of truth.” best suit? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 64. What is the best title for this passage? A. Is feeding birds a wise choice? B. Why not feed our bird neighbours? C. Can we treat birds as friends? D. When do birds need our food aid? 【答案】61. C 62. B 63. D 64. A 【解析】 本文为一篇说明文。短文介绍了对于人类喂食鸟类的不同观点。 【61 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But in recent years, some scientists have suggested that bread might not do birds’ digestive systems any good, saying that as uneaten food rots down, the water quality worsens and algal blooms can occur.”可知，当那些没有被吃 的面包腐烂了，水质会被污染，藻类水华会发生。故选 C 项。 【62 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Although ducks, geese and swans can digest all types of bread, too much can leave them feeling full without giving them all of the important vitamins, minerals and nutrients they need.”(尽管鸭子、鹅和天鹅能消化所有类型的食粮，但过 多的食物会让它们感觉饱了，却没有给它们所需的所有重要维生素、矿物质和营养。)由此判 断出，如果鸟类依赖大量食粮，很有可能缺乏某些营养会对它们的健康产生负面影响。故选 B 项。 【63 题详解】 推理判断题。结合前文“When bird feeding first became popular in the UK in the 19th - 23 - century, some Victorians encouraged tough love, arguing that such handouts would only make our feathered friends lazy and dependent on welfare.”(当喂鸟在 19 世纪首次在 英国流行时，一些维多利亚人鼓励严厉的爱，认为这种施舍只会让我们的羽翼未丰的朋友变 得懒惰和依赖。)后文“Morris says that there is a theory that wild birds can get “hooked” on easy meals, losing interest in other types of food. Another danger, he says, is that birds fed regularly end up accustomed to humans, placing themselves at greater risk of predation(捕食).”莫里斯说，有一种理论认为，野生鸟类会对简单的 食物“上瘾”，对其他类型的食物失去兴趣。他说，另一个危险是，经常被喂食的鸟类最终 会习惯于人类，从而使自己面临更大的被捕食风险。插入的句子意思是“这种说教现在听起 来很过时，但可能有一定的道理”，前文的说教看起来老套，后文具体阐释了道理，承上启 下，在④处符合。故选 D 项。 【64 题详解】 主旨大意题。由第一段“But in recent years, some scientists have suggested that bread might not do birds’ digestive systems any good, saying that as uneaten food rots down, the water quality worsens and algal blooms can occur”但近年来，一些科学家 认为面包可能对鸟类的消化系统没有任何好处，他们说，随着未食用的食物的腐烂，水质会 恶化，藻类会大量繁殖。由第二段“When online posts about the notice went viral, feathers flew as people debated the benefits of handing out bread to birds” 当关 于这一通知类的帖子在网上传播时，人们争论着给鸟分发食粮的好处。所以短文的最佳标题 是“喂鸟是明智的选择吗？”。故选 A 项。 D Despite all the ways we have to interact with others, people still feel isolated and lone. Loneliness is an increasing problem—so much so that, last year, the government introduced a loneliness strategy and minister for loneliness. We used to talk of the condition in relation to older people but rarely gender. It may come as a surprise then that so many of those affected by loneliness are men. A recent YouGov survey for Movember, a charity event that raises awareness of men’s health issues, asked men about their friendships and whether they had people outside their homes they could swap their worries with. Half of men asked said they had two or fewer friends and one in eight had none—that’s 2.5 million men with no - 24 - close friends. Even worse, men’s friendlessness doubles between their early 20s and late middle age. Isolation can have physical and mental health implications. A 2017 report by the Commission on Loneliness said loneliness is as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Research shows correlation between loneliness and heart disease and strokes, and other studies associate loneliness with depression. However, why are so many men affected? In our latest podcast, psychotherapist Noel Bell says some men feel they have to be self-reliant. Due to widespread social stereotypes(刻板 印象), it can be viewed as a sign of weakness for men to admit they have a problem, express their deepest feelings or discuss a serious personal topic. Perhaps due to the way generations of men have been raised, it is often difficult to recognize feelings of loneliness in the first place. Behavioural differences between boys and girls are not naturally born at birth, they are socialised. Girls are stereotypically seen as more emotional and talkative and so their communicative and expressive skills are more valued than those of boys by parents and teachers, according to researchers. For some men, having a partner and a family can somewhat shelter them from the negative effects of loneliness—but what if their personal circumstances change? After a relationship breaks down or there is a loss of you beloved, some men find their friends have drifted away and they have no one to talk to. Social media can be beneficial if it leads to interaction in the real world, but online networks are no substitute for face-to-face friendships—the number of likes on your most recent post does not compare with genuine connection. Social activities such as team sports aren’t for everyone and, if you’re already feeling lonely or isolated, it can be difficult to build the confidence to enter those environments and connect over a shared interest. There is also the danger that some male-dominated social environments encourage drinking alcohol and may not be the right places for those who are feeling the mental health effects of isolation. That said, ‘shoulder to shoulder’ active interactions for men, such as exercise, especially running, are proven to be beneficial. But such activities do not interest all men - 25 - and this is where psychotherapy(心理疗法) can be of particular use. Don’t suffer in silence. A psychotherapist is not a friend, nor is therapy a substitute for a meaningful friendship. A therapist will, however, help a client identify what may be creating barriers to them building supportive friendships and determine the factors that may be causing their feelings of isolation. A therapist will work with the client to address their issues, providing a fair, non-judgemental space in which a lonely person can work out what is best for them and how to move towards a more connected and contented life. Bell, a famous therapist, says too many men enter therapy only when a situation has reached crisis point and he encourages men not to bottle up their emotions. “Reflecting on your feelings is healthy and normal,” he says. 65. Who used to be the prime victims of loneliness? A. Junior students. B. Isolated ministers. C. Mature men. D. Senior citizens. 66. What does the survey done by YouGov imply? A. Men tend to expand their social circle after their adolescence. B. Young and middle-aged male adults suffer more from loneliness. C. Loneliness remains at the same level despite different ages. D. Deep friendships are difficult to maintain between the males. 67. According to the Nobel Bell, men’s loneliness is relevant to _______. A. the fear of dying of heart disease and strokes B. the depression popular among men of all ages C. the conventional view on how men should behave D. their reliance on outside assistance through hardships 68. In terms of social stereotypes, girls are better at _______. A. gaining sympathy from men B. hiding their true emotions C. disciplining their own behavior D. interacting with other people 69. Why does the author mention social media in Paragraph 5? A. To stress the importance of real interaction to men. B. To introduce a possible way out of loneliness for men. - 26 - C. To contradict the belief that men feel lonely online. D. To illustrate how social media can relieve depression. 70. When might a psychotherapist be of particular use? A. When there is no substitute for the current therapy. B. Not until a man is fully conscious of the crisis point? C. When active interactions fail to attract a lonely man. D. After a man is excluded from a team of common interests. 【答案】65. D 66. B 67. C 68. D 69. A 70.

Think back to childhood when holidays seemed to last forever and you attended a school for what felt like decades. Now consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by. As those in their 30s and 40s will know, the effect gets worse with age—and, for people in their 70s, a year can flash by in what seems like days. “Where did the time go?” we wonder. One study found that if you’re 40, assuming you live to be 80, your life, in terms of your subjective experience of time, is already 70 percent gone. It’s all rather terrifying. Fortunately, though, you have the power to change things. The best explanation is that memories seem longer when our brains have to process more information. Childhood and young adulthood are full of novelty—the first time you rode a bike, had a romance, go job—but, as we get older, things get more routine. You can test this out by recalling a recent experience of novelty in your life, such as travel. A few years back, I went skiing for the first time, and that four-day trip - 28 - still feels “long”. But a four-day period in my ordinary life zooms by too quickly for me to notice. One solution, then, is obvious: do lots of new stuff. Travel more, if you can, and to unfamiliar places. Try new hobbies and meet new people—you’ll be taxing your brain, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more expansive and meaningful. But smaller changes work, too: even altering the route you take to the office, reading different kinds of novels or varying where you buy your sandwich at lunchtime will have some impact. But novelty can only go so far. Besides, a fulfilling life requires routine: you can’t build deep relationships, or rise through the ranks at work if you’re always switching friends or jobs or even spouses. That’s why the Buddhist teacher Shinzen Young suggests an additional strategy: learn to meditate(冥想). Even a few minutes a day will enhance your concentration, and the better you get at concentrating, the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring. You’ll be making your whole life a little more novel. You’ll be more present and time will pass less quickly; in effect, you’ll extend your life—without magic pills or groundbreaking medical technology.

The regulation lists punishments available to teachers in three categories based on the level of severity of the offense, including naming and shaming, forced standing that lasts no longer than one class session, and suspension of class for no longer - 32 - than one week. Zhang Lifeng, a 43-year-old parent, welcomed the move. “The regulation should have come earlier,” she said. “It will benefit both teachers and students as well as parents.” However, a ninth grader at a middle school, disagreed. “It is normal for adolescent students to make mistakes. I don’t think punishments are necessary. They may cause more trouble,” he said. Chen Xianzhe, a professor with the School of Education at South China Normal University, said punishments are just a part of the teaching process. The regulation asks schools to draft their own regulations accordingly to clarify the rules for teachers in taking disciplinary actions against their students. 【写作内容】 1、用约 30 个单词概括上述信息的主要内容； 2、谈谈你如何看待教育惩戒，并简述理由； 3、请你对教育惩戒规则的实施提出合理建议(至少两点)。 【写作要求】 1、写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句； 2、作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称； 3、不必写标题。 【评分标准】 内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当 ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ 【答案】According to a new regulation issued by China’s Ministry of Education, teachers have the right to discipline students who break school rules, which, however, has generated a lot of discussion. From my perspective, the significance of school discipline cannot be stressed - 33 - too much. For one thing, the regulation will help students better understand the consequences of misbehaving, which is of great benefit to their healthy growth and development.

In order for the regulation to be conducted effectively, many joint efforts need to be made. First of all, authorities and schools should set up specific and reasonable rules for school discipline. Secondly, teachers ought to understand the rules thoroughly to employ them properly instead of abusing them. More importantly, parents are supposed to cooperate with teachers to reach a consensus on the level of punishments. 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇读写任务，要求考生认真阅读下文信息，并按要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。 【详解】第一步: 审题 体裁: 应用文 时态：根据提示，时态应为一般现在时和一般将来时。 要求： 用约 30 个单词概括上述信息的主要内容； 谈谈你如何看待教育惩戒，并简述理由； 请你对教育惩戒规则的实施提出合理建议(至少两点)。 第二步: 列提纲 (重点词组) be delighted to;grateful;be supposed to do;look forward to 第三步: 连词成句 According to a new regulation issued by China’s Ministry of Education, teachers have the right to discipline students who break school rules, which, however, has generated a lot of discussion.
