anymore.Dr.DonaldDoll,the doctor who treated Ward for hiscancer,said,Were seeing more and more younger and healthier patients.Theyre not smokers ordrinkers.ItsHPV-related.“Normally,youthinkof HPV(人 乳 头 瘤 病 毒），youthinkofwomen,Dolladded,while its a misconception that only women have to be concerned with cancerscausedby this virus.Luckily,theresa vaccine(疫 苗）thats been around for more than a decade that can protectagainst the HPV virus.If all boys and girls received it,no one would get HPV-related cancers.TheHPVvaccine is best when given to children between 9 and 12 years old,before they are sexually active.Butteenagersand young adults can still benefit from the vaccine.Not everyone who gets the HPV virusdevelops cancer.But it is a risk factor.The agency says about 14 millionpeople in the U.S.alonebecome infected with HPV each year.Yet,about half of all U.S.adolescents have not been fullyvaccinated against HPV,which requires aseriesof threeshots.The CDCsaysthesideeffectsaregenerallyshorttermandnotserious.Theycanincludedizziness,headache,fever,pain andetc.Wards recovery was difficult.Buthes now cancer-free.Ward wishes the HPV vaccine existedwhen he was a teen.He says if he had kids,he would get them vaccinated.HPV-relatedcancers arecancersno one needsto get.Ward said.21.Who should beworried about HPV-related cancers?A.Only women.B.Everyone.C.Younger people.D.Smokers anddrinkers.22.Which of the followingstatementsis TRUE according to the passage?A.The HPV vaccine is bestwhen given to teenagersand young adults.B.About 50%of all adults in America havenot beenfully vaccinated against HPV.C.One getscancerif he or shegetsthe HPV virus.D.HPV vaccines have someside effects including dizziness,headache,andetc.23.Why did Ward say HPV-related cancerswere cancersno oneneededto get in the last paragraph?A.It is easy to recover from HPV-related cancers.B.HPV-related cancers are not that common.C.HPV-related cancers canbe prevented by vaccination.D.HPV vaccine existed when he was ateen.BIve beenteaching college for many years,long enough to note the gradual relaxation of attentionin matters of student dress.And Ive long beenused to the worn jeans,flip-flopsand shorts.Still,I tooknote recently when one of my students showed up in pajama bottoms.I couldnt help asking,Did youjust roll out of bed?Five minutes ago.he responded.Im familiar with the school of thought that says that how students dress is not important,so longas theyre learning.This is much the samewhen they sayGrammar andspelling dont matter,so long astheyre expressing themselves.Perhaps.But I also wonder about the wisdom of blurring(模 糊）theline between bed and desk.I should think that a careful consideration of clothes before entering aformal environment is a sort of visible reminder to oneself(and ones teachers)that impressions areimportant andthat we have come together to get down to business.I suppose that I come from a time when there wereschool clothesandplay clothes,and neverdid thetwo sorts meet.I grewup ina working-classfamily,towhom“lookingsharpwasimportant.Personal appearancemight have made the difference between getting and losing a job.Soyes,Im allforfreedomof choice inmatters ofdress,and yes,I do wantmy students to becomfortable.But I also want to pay my respectsto those students who believe that appearancesmatter.I think of this lady I had in classa few years back.She was someone to whom science was nevereasy:She worked hard for respectablegrades on every task.But I was impressed by how tastefully shedressed,day after day.When the course ended,I mentioned this to her.You always looked so nice,Iremarked,as if you were ready to take on the world.”24.Which of the followingstatementsis Not True?A.Lookingsharpis helpful in getting a job.B.It is wise to blur the line between bed and desk.C.Students arebeing more andmore casually dressed.D.The author believes we should pay somerespectsto our appearances.25.What does theschool of thought”meanin paragraph 2?A.a college that teachesthoughtsB.a group of studentsand teachersC.a way of thinkingD.a branch of learning26.What do we know about the lady in the last paragraph?A.She had a talent for science.B.The author was impressed by her casual dressing.C.Her grades were not decentthough shestudied hard.D.She was oneof the studentswho believed that appearancesmatter.CWe are surrounded by people trying to make the worlda better place.Peace activists bringenemies together so they can get to know one another and feel each other s pain.School leaderstry toattract a diverse setof studentsso eachcan understand what its like to walk in the others shoes.It is true that people who are empathetic(共 情 的）are more sensitive to the perspectives andsufferings of others.They are more likely to make sympathetic moral judgments.The problem comeswhenwe tryto turnfeelingintoaction.Empathymakes youmore aware ofother peoplessufferings,but its not clear whether it actually motivates you to take moral action or prevents you fromtaking immoral action.For example,in the early days of the Holocaust,Nazi prison guards sometimeswept asthey killed Jewish women and children,but they still did it.Empathy directs you toward moral action,but it doesnt seem to help much when that actioncomes at a personal cost.You may feel painful for the homeless guy on the other side of the street,butthe chances are that you are not going to cross the street to give him a dollar.Studies investigating thelink between empathy and moral action suggest that empathy is not a major player when it comes tomoral motivation.Its contribution is slight in children,modest in adults,and nonexistent when costsaresignificant.Nobodyisagainst empathy.However,itsnotenough.These days empathy has become ashortcut.Ithas become a wayto experience deliciousmoral emotions withoutconfrontingtheweaknesses in our nature that prevent us from actually acting upon them.It has become a way toexperience the illusion(幻觉）of moral progresswithout having to do the nasty work of making moraljudgments.Teaching empathy is a safe way for schools and other institutionsto seem blamelesswithout risking dispute or hurting anybodys feelings.People who actually perform pro-social action dont only feel for those who are suffering,theyfeel it necessaryto act by a senseof duty.Empathy is less important.If you want to make the world abetter place,help people debate,understand,reform,revere and enact their moral principles.Accept thatprinciples conflict.27.Why doesthe author mention the Holocaust in paragraph2?A.To show that empathy is limited in preventing people from wrongdoings.B.To prove that empathic people are more likely to make compassionatemoral judgments.C.To explain that empathy is helpful for moral teaching.D.To criticize the immoral actions of Nazis.28.What will empathetic people probably do when they seethe homeless?A.Reach out to them.B.Ignore them.C.Feel sorry for them.D.Raise money for them.29.According to paragraph 3,which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.People are enthusiastic about empathy.B.Teaching empathy is a quicker way to achieve moral education.C.Empathy alone is not sufficient.D.People are unwilling to take actual actions.30.According to the author,whats the bestway to make the world abetter place?A.Try to understandwhat its like to walk in the others shoes.B.Be more sensitive to the perspectives and sufferings of others.C.Stop teaching empathy since it is only asideshow in moral education.D.Take on the duty to actand make real moral progress.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。When youre a writer,finishingyour book and publishing it is your biggest dream.Youre curiousas to how people will react to it,and whether it could sell or not.31 There are either things you want tochange about it,or fear about peoples reaction.Still,you shouldnt let these things stop you from goingafter your dream.Below are some of the most common fears that new writers face,and how to beatthem.OriginalityFor many new writers,originalityis an issue.Considering there are so many writers out there,itshard to know if someone thought of an idea before you did.32 And its not really pleasant being seenas a thief.The thing is that its hard to come out with something thats entirely original as well.As longas you put the idea into practice in a different way,it shouldnt be an issue.As long as you are able tocover a topic deeply,aswell as provide a new and unique perspective,that should work.Peoples OpinionIts hard not to think about what people will think about your book,as they are the oneswho havethe final word.One of the biggest fears many writers deal with is how their book will be perceived byreaders,and its human nature to think about the bad stuff first.Not only youre afraid you wont getInstagram followers that are fans of the book,but you also fear the book wont sell.33 So why let thisthought killyour mood?A books goal is to reframe old informationor make new claims,so whatpeople sayshouldnt stop you.No Time to WritePeople get busy,its normal.Nevertheless,it shouldnt stop you from doing what you love.34_Youcantake that time and useit to write instead.Nobody saysthat you have to write endless pagesin a daywriting a book is a whole process,and nobody is rushing you.Make sure you schedule your time,soyou have time to write at least one hour daily.35You want fans to connect with you and it can be disheartening when things like your socialfollowinggrows slowly.Tryusing tools such as the best tools for Instagram as a means to getfollowers.A.Therefore,youre at risk of being accusedof stealing from someoneswork.B.Growing your fan base.C.However,there will always be people disagreeing with you or not liking what you do.D.Dont let the details stop you from sharing your story.E.But sometimes its hard hitting that post button,becausethings are holding you back.F.You most likely havesome sparetime that you usedoing something else.G.Communicate with your fans.第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45 分）第一节：完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5 分，满分30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。In France,abookstore chain hasput a special camerain its shops.Thesystem feeds a
