II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A

Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and

grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of

the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

Rosa's Sports Photo Competition Entry

Ice hockey is played on an ice rink with a goal net at each end. Two teams on skates compete

to score goals by using, curved at one end, 21 (hit) a small, hard rubber disc, called a puck.

There may be 20 players in each team, but only six can be on the rink at any time. One of them is

the goalkeeper, who 22 (allow) to catch the puck or block it with any part of their body, as well

as with their sick. Ice hockey has always been most popular in places 23 cold winters, for

example in Canada, northern European, countries and the northern states of the USA. However,

with indoor ice rinks, many other countries have started competing in this sport and ice hockey

events held all year around.

In this photo, 24 (take) during a match between Hungary and Holland, you can see two

players who are trying to control the puck. Their bodies are bumping together and the Dutch

player is finding it hard to keep his balance on one leg, but they are both concentrating on

reaching the puck with their sticks. I chose this action photo because it shows 25 exciting and

competitive the game is. The light shining on the ice gives you an idea of the hard surface, 26

makes ice hockey the fastest team sport in the world. The puck can travel up to 160 kph and

players may shake at about 40 kph. They must be ready to race forward, stop or turn quickly and

changes suddenly from attacking to defending.

Also, 27 the photo shows, ice hockey is a very physical contact sport. Injuries are

common, especially 28 players crash into each other. In the photo you can see the helmets that

protect their heads and the thick pads that are worn on their legs, knees and shoulders. The game is

so challenging that players can usually only stay on the ice for about two minutes before 29

(replace). It is their amazing physical skill and speed 30 make ice hockey so exciting to watch.

Section B

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be

used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A. resolve B. coverage C. valued D. conflicting E. move F. claim

G. reliant H. object I. reflection J. constructive K. contain

Queen Elizabeth II has responded to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's request to “step

back” as senior members of the royal family.

“Today my family had very 31 discussions on the future of my grandson and his family,”

the reigning monarch （现任君主） shared in a statement. “My family and I are entirely

supportive of Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we

would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect

and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a 32 part

of my family.

“Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be 33 on public funds in

their new lives,” the 93-year -old continued. “It has therefore been agreed that there will be a

period of transition during which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK. These are

complex matters for my family to 34 and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked

for final decisions to be reached in the coming days.”

Elizabeth had called for a face-to-face meeting with Harry, 35, and other members of the

royal family in order to iron out logistics （后勤组织工作） of his and Markle's decision to

become “financially independent” of the crown.

The meet-up marked the first time the queen and her grandson met following the shocking

announcement on social media last week. It reflected the queen's desire to 35 the fallout （后

果，余波） from Harry and Meghan's decision. A palace insider previously said that the royal

family were not informed of the couple's announcement until it was made to the world.

The meeting comes after days of intense news 36 , in which supporters of the royal

family's feuding factions （敌对势力） used the British media to paint 37 pictures of who

was to blame for the rift （分裂,分歧）.

The royal brothers even issued a rare joint statement denying the media 38 that William is

to blame for the couple's 39 to split their time between the United Kingdom and North

America.

Last week, Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared on social media that their decision came

“after many months of 40 and internal discussions.”

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehensions

SectionA

Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A,

B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

When you are stuck on a problem, sometimes it is best to stop thinking about it ---

consciously, anyway. Research has shown that taking a break or a nap can help the brain create

41 to a solution. Now a new study 42 on the effect of this so-called incubation （潜伏期）

by using sound cues to focus the sleeping mind on the targeted problem.

When humans sleep, parts of the brain replay certain memories, strengthening and

transforming them. About a decade ago researchers developed a technique, called targeted

memory reactivation (TMR), aimed at further enhancing 43 memories: when a sound becomes

associated with a memory and is later played during sleep, that memory gets 44 . In a study

published last November in Psychological Science, scientists tested whether 45 the memory of

a puzzle during sleep might also improve problem-solving.

About 60 participants visited the laboratory before and after a night of 46 . First, they 47

spatial, verbal and conceptual puzzles, with a distinct music clip repeating in the background for

each, until they had worked on six puzzles they could not solve. Overnight they wore electrodes

（电极） to detect slow-wave sleep, which may be important for memory enhancement - and a

device played the sounds 48 to three of the six unsolved puzzles. The next day, back at the lab,

the participants attempted the six puzzles again. (Each repeated the experiment with a different set

of puzzles the following night). All told, the subjects solved 32 percent of the sound-stimulated

puzzles compared with 21 percent of the 49 puzzles.

The researchers “very bravely went for quite complex tasks that involved a lot of complex

processing, and remarkably they found these really strong effects in all of their 50 ,” says

Penny Lewis, a psychologist at Cardiff University, who was not involved in the research. “These

are super-coll results. Now we need to go out and try to understand them by firstly replicating（复

制） them and secondly trying to 51 the component processes that are actually being

influenced.”

Beyond providing new evidence that humans restructure memories while sleeping, the

research may have 52 implications. “In a futuristic world, maybe TMR could help us use sleep

to work on our problems,” says lead author Kristin Sanders, who was a graduate student at

Northwestern University during the study. Sleep-monitoring technology is increasingly accessible-

and even without devices, prospective solvers can focus on important problems before 53 .

Still, sleep is not 54 : people need to do their homework and load their heads with the

puzzle pieces involved. “I'm not going to solve cancer with this technique,” Sanders says,

“because I am totally 55 cancer research.”

Section B

Directions: Read the following two passage. Each passage is followed by several questions or

unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the

one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

When asked in 1993 to comment on accusations that the movie In the Name of the Father

distorts （曲解） contemporary British and Irish history, female lead Emma Thompson

responded that she couldn't care less. Even since the premiere （首映） in 1915 of The Birth of a

Nation, filmmakers have rewritten history to create top-dollar entertainment. The films are very

persuasive: well-made movies hold your interest continuously, drawing your attention to “what

happens next,” and pulling you forward with no time to reflect on individual scenes until the final

credits roll. The result: you don't remember much about a movie after watching it for the first

time. For this reason, movies have extraordinary power - unmatched by any other medium - to

leave you with a strong sense of what is right and what is wrong, who is bad and who is good,

even though critical details presented in the movies may be false.

Well, so what? They're just movies. In fact they're not just movies. Millions of Americans

are devoted history lovers, and they pack theatres every time new movies about historical figures

or events come to town. Saving private Ryan and Titanic drew viewers and cash for months. Many

high school teachers screen movies in the classroom. Clearly countless Americans get most of

their history from television and the big screen.

Some of the industry's finest historical and period films premiered during the past decades.

But the 1960s also saw a number of politically charged history-based movies full of factual

distortions and, occasionally, outright lies. Today the trend continues on a larger scale: many

movies released in the 1990s and the first decade of the 21*t century reflect lack of respect for

solid, reliable history.

History Goes to the Movies is a source of information and, it is hoped, entertainment for

everyone interested in the actual history behind a wide selection of movies grouped into twelve

sections--11 covering historical periods and events and twelfth containing biographies and period

films. Each movie review includes an essay on the history covered in one or more movies, and a
