(8 分)From Smells to SoundtracksWhen a young sawfly, a bee - like insect, is threatened by its attackers like ants, it emits a mixture of unpleasant smells to defend itself.These emissions can seriously annoy a potential enemy.Scientists wanting to study these smelly compounds一to understand which aspects of them discourage attackers and why一face great challenges.Meetups between sawflies and ants in a lab are difficult to carry out.There are also a very limited quantity of the insects1 emissions.On the side, Jean - Luc Boeve, a zoologist who studies insects, from the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, is an amateur musician and composer.He decided to try a different way一the sound approach. "To be honest, I considered this project so unpractical myself that I set it aside, " he said.lt was months before Boeve and his partner, Rudi Giot, finally made a resolution to get started on it.They chose 16 sawfly species* emissions to translate into sounds.First, they figured out which molecules （分子）were present in each smelly compound and in what amounts.Then they assigned various characteristics of those molecules matching properties of sound.For example, smaller molecules like a kind of acid found in vinegar, a sour - tasting liquid, evaporate （挥发） quickly, so Boeve and Giot assigned them sounds with higher pitch （音 高）.Larger molecules were given lower - pitched sounds.In all, the scientists created individual audio descriptions for 20 molecules.Then they combined the sounds of each molecule present in a sawfly's smell to construct the insect's soundtrack.If a molecule was of higher proportion in an emission, they assigned it a higher volume.In such a case, the smaller a molecule is, the higher its pitch will be； and the higher the proportion of a molecule is, the higher its volume will be.To test out the audio descriptions they created, Boeve and Giot examined people's reactions to the soundtracks and compared them to ants' reactions to the original smells.They played the 16 emission soundtracks and the 20 molecule sounds through speakers to about 50 study participants.Then the scientists measured how far people backed up to get to a "comfortable position*1 away from the noise.Most of the study volunteers told the researchers that the high pitch, as well as the high volume, was what made them withdraw. HAnts and volunteers moved away from a chemical and its matching soundtrack respectively, " the researchers wrote.Boeve said he hoped the process would give other zoologists a new way to compare sawflies* chemical defenses with those from other insects.lt may also offer researchers cluesabout which molecules fight off enemies most.(1) What do we know about Boeve from paragraph 2? A.He was devoted to the research for several months.B.He started a new approach after months' hesitation.C.He came up with a creative idea thanks to a composer.D.He was faced with difficulties in studying rare sawflies.(2) What can be concluded in terms of the sound approach? A.The volume of sounds is based on the proportion of molecules.B.Smaller molecules and lower pitch share similar characteristics.C.Audio descriptions of the molecules can be divided into 16 kinds.D.Participants were required to compare the sounds with the smells.(3) From paragraphs 4 and 5, we can learn that .A.the soundtracks are more than what humans are likely to bearB.the ants dislike the sounds as much as humans hate the smellsC.humans' reactions to the sounds resemble ants' responses to the smellsD.other zoologists are looking for innovative ways of studying molecules(4) This passage is mainly intended to .A.explain ways to transfer smells into soundtracksB.introduce research on sawfly's effect on humansC.demonstrate a scientific study on insects' smellsD.test out people's reaction to various soundtracksSection CDirections： Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. 20. (8 分)Age Reversal TechnologyOur life spans (时间段)used to be relatively short. (1)Within the next 150 years, this was raised by medical advances.And fast forward to 2020 and global life expectancy is 72.6 years一higher than that in any country in 1950.As people live longer, population aging becomes a greater economic problem.lt has both placed a burden on public health spending and decreased productivity of workforce.And aging is the fundamental driver behind many diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, to name just a few.One expert in population aging at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Halldbr Stefansson, explains that some serious diseases related to aging一that very few people lived long enough to experience in the past一have replaced infectious diseases as the main cause of death. (2) The amazing news is that age reversal technology will soon be a reality.On the bright side, the process of reversing aging is already possible for cells in scientific experiments. (3) In the foreseeable future, we will be able to enjoy a longer life as well.The goal is to preventively target aging一the major risk factor for a wide variety of diseases and disabilities instead of treating one disease at a time, which is very costly.One future model projected an increase in NHS expense of £42 million year - on - year until 2031 due to the aging population.(4) That means the technology will restore our vitality and bodily function by removing the damage inevitably caused by the processes of life.A.And science has moved on to extend life spans of some animals, though not yet of humans.B.Human aging timeline is also driven by other factors.C.In the 1800s, life expectancy across the world was less than 40 years of age.D.So, the question on all our mind is一can science stop aging?E.Initially restricted to developed countries, population aging has also become a trend in the developing world.F.Age reversal technology will also increase health span一the length of time during which one is healthy.IV. Summary Writing21. (15 分)Directions： Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(5) of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.Soft Skills - Soft or Not?Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education have been a subject of much debate.How can schools equip students with the skills to succeed in a changing job market?Since technology is driving many social changes, there is an opinion that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects.These are often referred to as "hard skills"，which are prioritized in primary schools and right through to university level.However, research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM - related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed ever since.In contrast, jobs in the creative industries, which are probably most associated with the need for soft skills, are growing rapidly.A study by Deloitte Access Economics predicts that “soft skill -intensive occupations will account for two - thirds of all jobs by 2030”.With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves people delicate when facing change, as these skills often have a limited shelf life.According to a survey, more than one in four adults reported a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role.Fortunately, soft skills can solve the problem, enabling people to adapt to change more easily in their chosen field.Additionally, interpersonal interactions in the modern workplace require some level of soft skills.At a company they might be negotiating to win a new contract or networking for a new job.People use soft skills every day at work and developing them will help things in the job go smoothly.Many universities have begun to emphasize soft skills such as critical thinking alongside hard skills.But the issue goes much deeper.Soft skills need to be handled across the entire education system so that by the time students reach university level, they are already armed with the qualities needed to further develop these skills.V.
