While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his followers, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”.‎ The follower walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very dirty. The follower thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”.‎ So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The follower obediently (顺从地) went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely ‎ clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.‎ The Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the follower and said, “See, you let the water be and the mud settled down on its own. You got clear water. It didn’t require any effort”.‎ Our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time and it will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. We can judge and best decisions of our life when we stay calm.‎ ‎24.Why did Buddha asked his follower to collect water?‎ A.Because they were travelling. B.Because they were passing a river.‎ C.Because Buddha was too tired to go on. D.Because Buddha wanted a drink.‎ ‎25.What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?‎ A.The tree. B.The lake. C.The mud. D.The pot.‎ ‎26.What can you infer about the follower?‎ A.He is reliable and thoughtful. B.He is humorous and intelligent.‎ C.He is hesitant and dependent. D.He is picky and impatient.‎ ‎27.What is the best title for the text?‎ A.Trial and Error. B.Sometimes Just Let it Be.‎ C.Buddha and His Follower. D.Efforts will Pay Off.‎ C People asked to imagine how flooding or droughts would affect particular people or places were more likely to engage in environmentally friendly actions. Many people view climate change as a distant threat. But having them imagine the tangible (有形的) consequences of resulting droughts or floods may help change this idea and encourage pro-environmental behavior, a new study suggests.‎ Researchers asked 93 college students to read a report on temperature anomalies (异常),floods and other climate change-related events that have affected the island. The scientists then asked 62 of the participants to write down three ways in which such phenomena might impact their future lives. Half the people in that group were instructed to imagine such situations in detail. The remaining 31 students did not complete either the writing or imagining steps, acting as a control group.‎ All the participants then rated their ideas of climate change risks by responding to questions such as "How likely do you think it is that climate change is having serious impacts on the world?" They used a scale from 1 ("very unlikely") to 7 ("very likely"). The average score was higher among subjects who had been asked to envision detailed situations than among those who had not. The results were later confirmed in a second experiment involving 102 participants.‎ Participants in the first experiment who had imagined the effects of climate change were more likely to say they would use air conditioning in an energy-saving manner. In the second experiment, nearly two thirds of people in the visualizing (想象) group signed up to help clean a beach, compared with 43 percent in the nonvisualizing one. And when offered a choice of a vegetarian (素食主义的) or nonvegetarian lunch box, nearly half the visualizers selected the environmentally friendlier meatless choice-compared with about 28 percent of the nonvisualizers.‎ The researchers did not track people to see if they behaved differently in their day-to-day lives-something further studies should examine, says study co-author Wen-Bin Chiou. Moreover, the research "should be done again in other places with other populations," says Robert Gifford, a professor of psychology at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, who was not involved in the work. ‎ The findings could be applied to raise public concern about climate change, Chiou says. For example, he suggests that news reports about the phenomenon could include vivid descriptions of its effects on people's lives and ask readers to imagine experiencing such impacts. Having virtual-reality demonstrations (展示) in local science museums of the consequences of climate change would be another way of putting the research into practice, Chiou adds.‎ ‎28.Which of the following statements about the study is true? A.Only one experiment was carried out for the study. B.Professor Robert Gifford played a key role in the study. C.The control group only completed the writing step in the experiment. D.Participants asked to imagine detailed effects scored higher than those who weren't. 29.Future studies will probably be about whether ______. A.it is true of other populations in other places B.more money will be donated to the people affected by climate change-related events C.people choose vegetarian lunch boxes in their daily ‎ lives D.climate change will cause people to think about joining in a control group 30.To put the research into practice, Wen-Bin Chiou suggests that ______. A.the government call on people to live a low-carbon life B.people use air conditioning in an energy-saving manner C.people experience possible effects of climate change through virtual reality facilities D.news reports provide vivid descriptions of the effects of climate change on people's lives 31.The passage mainly tells us that ______. A.different people may have different reactions to climate change B.different forms of climate change may affect people's ideas in different ways C.people may change their behavior after thinking about the vivid impacts of climate change D.college students show great concern for the people affected by climate change D ‎ Nearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles. But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals.‎ ‎ One of the companies is ecoRobotix of Switzerland. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry itself through the fields in search of weeds. Computer-controlled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide (除草剂). Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smartphone.‎ ‎ The co-founder of ecoRobotix, AurélienDemaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times less herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right chemical amount in the exact place required to kill the weeds. Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.‎ ‎ Another company developing farm robotics is California-based Blue River Technology. The company has a system called "See & Spray", which it claims was the world's first smart sprayer. The system—which is connected to the back of a tractor—is also equipped with AI to identify and ‎ chemically kill only the weeds. It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vice-president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. "The first time the machine saw pigweed, it didn't know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it—by giving it tens of thousands of examples of that pigweed一and now it's an expert in pigweed."‎ ‎32.How will AI benefit agriculture?‎ A.It will fund agriculture research.‎ B.It contributes to low-cost farming.‎ C.It can avoid harmful chemicals.‎ D.It frees all farmers from field work.‎ ‎33.What do the products of the two companies have in common?‎ A.They use recognition technology.‎ B.They are powered by solar energy.‎ C.They are connected with smartphones.‎ D.They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.‎ ‎34.What do Ben Chostner's words suggest about the robot?‎ A.It is environmentally friendly.‎ B.It is good at self-improving.‎ C.It has the learning ability.‎ D.It can track various plants.‎ ‎35.What is mainly talked about in the text?‎ A.The experiment in farming robots.‎ B.A new trend in artificial intelligence.‎ C.Modem See & Spray technology.‎ D.Artificial intelligence in agriculture.‎ 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning ,and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 36__________.Here is how to make one.‎ ‎● 37__________In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important.

"This week at Fettes we have been focusing on one of the most misunderstood ingredients of     48     failure. While we are often     49     of failure, it is important to learn that it is only     50     failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. Through the week, we have looked at the     51     of some of the most successful inventors and artists, who failed hundreds, if not thousands, of times in their     52     to success. "‎ ‎    To     53     failure, students were encouraged to try something they had been     54     to do before, like playing an instrument or juggling in front of an audience. A number of students     55     and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and     56     the experience.‎ ‎    Students were also     57     about famous people like J. K. Rowling and Richard Branson who failed many times     58     they achieved what they had set out to do. "Don’t let failure stop you. Thomas Edison had failed many times before taking his inventions to the     59     ,which people were eager to buy. If you let the fear of failure stop you from doing something, you are ​    60     stopping yourselves from learning, developing, and potentially succeeding, " said Bruce. ‎ ‎41.A.life    B.study    C.failure    D.challenge 42.A.observe    B.welcome    C.admit    D.protect 43.A.continuing    B.founding    C.keeping    D.holding 44.A.pressure    B.exercise    C.freedom    D.trouble 45.A.confused    B.curious    C.concerned    D.upset 46.A.making    B.offering    C.collecting    D.requiring 47.A.proud    B.perfect    C.correct    D.satisfied 48.A.sorrow    B.fame    C.achievement    D.success 49.A.sure    B.careful    C.afraid    D.aware 50.A.with    B.through    C.over    D.upon 51.A.works    B.contributions    C.experiences    D.influences 52.A.journey    B.tendency    C.access    D.desire ‎ ‎53.A.remember    B.celebrate    C.stress    D.avoid 54.A.unfit    B.unclear    C.unbearable    D.unable 55.A.cheered up    B.lit up    C.showed up    D.stepped up 56.A.repeated    B.enjoyed    C.explored    D.guaranteed 57.A.taught    B.informed    C.instructed    D.explained 58.A.until    B.when    C.before    D.unless 59.A.popularity    B.market    C.reality    D.public 60.A.hopefully    B.naturally    C.obviously    D.actually 第Ⅱ卷 第二节(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)‎ ‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ Americans have contributed to many art forms, but jazz, a type of music, is one that didn't start in the United States.
