in your name and at your expense.When it strikes,the effectscan be disastrous.Whats more,because it frequently involves no physical theft,identity theft may not be noticed by itsvictims until significant damage has already been done-often several months and thousands of pounds later.Its estimatedthat more than 100,000 people are affected by identity theft in the UK each year,costing the British economy over 1.3billion annually.How does it happen?These are some of the ways crooks get hold of your personal information:Fake emailsYou may receive an email seemingly from,say，your bank requesting that you follow a link and key informationinto a website that looks very similar to your banks own site but is in fact a fake.Pretext phone callsA crook pretending to be an official from,for example,your bank may phone up asking you to give personal oraccount details as a security check.Dishonest peopleSometimes sales assistants,unbeknown(不知情的)to you,swipe your card through a machine which records itsdetails.At the workplace,a fellow employee can use your personal details fraudulently.How can you protect yourself?Be careful who you give your personal details to,and tear up documents like credit-card slips before you throwthem away.Dont make this serious crime easy for crooks!1.What do we know about identity theft according to the passage?A.It is a frequent physical theft.B.It is only committed by strangers.C.It is costly to individuals and society.D.It is easy to be noticed by victims.2.Identity theft may happen when _.A.you receive an email from your bank.B.you give personal details to a fake websiteC.you are requested to pay in cash by sales assistantsD.you tear bank documents before throwing them away3.What is the text?第 2 页 共 8 页A.A financial survey.B.A history paper.C.A book review.D.A security report.BReal financial security and freedom is not in our job but in our passion.Its easy to define and evaluate a man by hispursuit.Joseph Campbell once said,“Follow your dream and the universe will open doors where there are only walls.In life,well always be found doing any of these two things:either making a living or making a difference.Pensions（养老金）and salaries stop many from pursuing excellence while passion unlocks hidden potentials that equip us forchallenges and opportunities.A job helps us make a living while passion enables us to make a difference.I want to sincerely help to adjust and clarify the misguided belief among workers that a job is a means of livelihood.Rather,it should be a means to fuel our passion.The earlier you realize this basic truth of life,the more clearly you11 beable to position yourself in living a life of impact and value.The success of Kentucky Fried Chicken（KFC）shows how meaningful it is to pursue your passion instead of yourpension.Its founder,Colonel Harland Sanders,didnt realize this until he was given his first social security check of 105dollars.But he decided that there surely was something to do for himself and other people instead of living on that smallpension.He was determined to engage himself in what brought him impact and value.Drawing inspiration from hismothers special recipe for fried chicken,he invented“finger-licking seasoning with eleven spices and herbs.Despitemuch rejection,he managed to round up some investors and promote companys rapid expansion to more than 6,000locations.Sanders life pointed towards two facts about making a difference:one,there is no age that is too old to make adifference;two,there is nothing too small or insignificant to make a difference with,as long as it is your passion.4.How does the author support his argument in paragraph 2?A.By listing examples.B.By including a quote.C.By showing contrast.D.By sharing his experience.5.How did Sanders probably feel when offered his first social security check?A.Deeply moved.B.Internally motivatedC.Greatly relieved.D.Pleasantly surprised6.What does the author intend to do?A.Give career guidance.B.Advise us to pursue our passion.C.Persuade us to get a well-paid job.D.Secure our position.7.What is the best title for this text?A.Following Your DreamsB.Working for PensionC.To Work or not to Work?D.Passion or Pension?COn July 14,2017,Maryam Mirzakhani,Stanford professor of mathematics and the first female winner of the FieldsMedal in Mathematics,died at the age of 40.The news was especially hard-hitting for a generation of younger academics who have always held Maryam as arole model whose example is helping redefine womens status in science and especially mathematics.What was fun wasthat Maryam always tried to avoid the medias spotlight.Her modesty(谦虚)and simplicity despite being the firstwoman to gain such high status in the world of mathematicswinning whats often called the Nobel Prize ofmathstood out to those who knew her.第 3 页 共 8 页Maryam originally wanted to be a writer,a passion of hers that never faded away even during her postgraduatestudies.However,she found an even greater joy in how rewarding it felt to solve mathematical problems.As a student,she was the first female member of Irans national team to participate in the International Math Olympiad(IMO),and shewon two gold medals in two yearsstill a record.She received her bachelors degree in Iran and later studied at Harvard.In 2014,Maryam was recognized with theFields Medal,the highest-ranking award in mathematics.Her work focused on curved surfaces like spheres(球体).Herachievements have applications in other scientific fields including engineering and material science.Unfortunately,atthat time she was already tackling the breast cancer.Maryams legend（传奇）may continue to grow after her early death.Still only 20 percent of full-time math teachersat U.S.universities are women.The example of a woman who rose to the top of this still very male field may help inspiremaths next generation.In the same way people think of Marie Curie or Jane Goodall as scientific pioneers,Maryam Mirzakhani will godown in history as a trailblazer as well as a mathematical genius.8.What makes Maryam internationally recognized?A.Her unfading passion for writing.B.Fighting against sexual discrimination.C.Coming under the medias spotlight frequently.D.Being the first female Fields Medal winner.9.Whats Maryams attitude towards fame?A.Resistant.B.Realistic.C.Enthusiastic.D.Doubtful.10.What can we know about Maryam?A.She got her bachelors degree at Harvard.B.She won gold medals for Iran in IMO.C.She applied mathematics to material science.D.She instructed some female students to reach the top.11.What does the underlined word trailblazer mean in the last paragraph?A.Talent.B.Model.C.Pioneer.D.Follower.DIt has been known for some time that children are able to learn at breathtaking speed.But how does it work?Thatswhat researchers have now found out.Using an artificial intelligence tool and an eye-tracker that tracks the movementsof a babys eye,scientists from the Thunders Research Institute for Brain,Cognition(认知)and Behavior investigatedone of childrens greatest mysteries and came to a surprising conclusion.It may seem very different,but babies are certainly not lying around randomly.“Babies dont explore the world bychance,with their eyes falling on it.Babies have a strategy if they want to understand the world.First,they look forthose pieces of information that allow them to understand other information faster and more efficiently.On the contrary,if they see an object or event from which they can learn nothing further,they simply reject it.Only the information usefulto them,they select,”says Dr Francesco Poli.That sounds easier,even for a baby,than done.Because how does a baby know what is important and what is not?“Lets take a good example:learning to talk.What we see as always is that babies who are about to say their firstword begin to investigate a few weeks before how to use their mouths to talk.Instead of looking at the eyes in faces,theystudy carefully for weeks the mouths of the people who talk to them.So they are in a constant state of maximum learningcapacity!”“Babies build their knowledge.They are like little scientists who like to see their idea challenged.For example,they learn very quickly that objects fall down and dont just disappear.And this is why they love bubbles(泡沫)so much:they do float up and then disappear!”第 4 页 共 8 页12.What is the surprising conclusion about children?A.They are breathtakingly fast learners.B.They possess exceptional intelligence.C.They explore the world purposefully.D.They are attracted to all information.13.What does the underlined word“that”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Studying further.B.Observing the world.C.Learning strategically.D.Understanding information.14.Why can bubbles fascinate babies greatly?A.They challenge babiesexisting cognition.B.They prove what babies have just learned.C.They make little scientistslife colorful.D.They float up quickly and dont just disappear.15.Which word can best describe baby learners according to the author?A.Consistent and persistent.B.Observant and capable.C.Confident and optimistic.D.Dynamic and responsible.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 分，满分分，满分 10 分）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。If youve ever been bitten by a mosquito,you know how frustrating their bites can be.16,creating an itch(痒)thatonce you start scratching only seems to get worse.Why does a mosquito bite itch and what can we do?Why does a mosquito bite itch?When a mosquito bites you,it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood and injects saliva(唾液)intoyour skin.Mosquitoes saliva has lots of proteins in it,some of which our body recognizes as foreign,and our immune cellsspring into action to try to fight them.17.Its actually the bodys response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying tofight.Thats why some people may only have a mild reaction to bites,while others,more sensitive to the foreign protein,reactwith large areas of swelling that are more painful.What helps resist the urge to scratch?“Dont scratch”is the advice that most experts and health professionals give.As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound,scratching inflames(发炎)the skin,and the inflammation makes the skin itch more.“18,”warned Daniel Markowski,technical adviser for the American Mosquito ControlAssociation,adding that in extreme cases,people can scar themselves.Instead,there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief as well as home remedy(疗法).Choose whats rightfor you can often come down to trial and error.In general,all of the various anti-itch creams are very similar.There is noscientific evidence these remedies work,and they can come with their own precautions or side effects.19.20Some people can have serious allergic reactions to mosquitoes,although in practice it is rare,Vosshall said.If youexperience severe symptoms such as breathing trouble,you should seek medical attention immediately.A.What to do with a mosquito bite?B.When to seek medical attention?C.The more you scratch,the more they itchD.Its not the bite that causes the itchE.Scratching can cause secondary infections and prolong the irritationF.The little red bumps swell up almost immediatelyG.In fact,the best remedy to fight the itch is to prevent a bite in the first place第 5 页 共 8 页语言知识运用（共两节，满分语言知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）分）第一节（共第一节（共 20 小题；每小题小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分分，满分 30 分）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。Five
