Gray Hair Can Return to Its Original Color

Few signs of old age are clearer than the sight of gray hair. ____21____ we grow older,

our strands of hair lose their youthful color. Although this may seem like a permanent change, new

research reveals that gray hairs ____22____ miraculously regain color — at least temporarily.

In one 1972 paper, the late doctor Stanley Comaish reported an isolated case of a 38-year-old

man, with his three strands ____23____(be) light near the ends but dark near the roots. This

signaled a reversal in the normal graying process, ____24____ begins at the root.

A new study from researchers at Columbia University is the first ____25____(offer)

quantitative evidence linking psychological stress to graying hair in people. Having analyzed

individual hairs from 14 volunteers, researchers compared the results with each volunteer’s stress

diary, in which individuals’ review of their calendars and each week’s level of stress rated are

included.

When hairs were aligned with(与...对照) stress diaries, striking associations between stress

and hair graying ____26____(reveal) and, in some cases, there was a reversal of graying when

stress was removed. There was one individual who went on a long vacation, and five hairs on that

person’s head returned back to dark during the vacation.

Although it may seem easy to understand ____27____ stress can speed up graying, the

researchers were surprised to discover that hair color can be restored when stress is eased. We

could picture hair as a powerful tool to assess the effects of ____28____(early) life events on

aging — because hair provides a kind of physical record of past events, much____29____ the

rings of a tree. It’s pretty clear that the hair encodes part of your biological history in some way.

3

Hair grows out of the body, and then it crystallizes into ____30____ hard and stable that holds the

memory of your past.

An Innovative Painter

Alan is a pioneering painter, working with oil paint on canvas in a traditional way. It is only

in his use of paint that he differs from the usual practice of using brushes.

Although he does use a brush to draw the main lines of his ____31____, he uses painting

knives to apply the paint. Early on he found that paint laid on with painting knives gave him the

particular body and texture(质地) he wanted to ____32____ his subjects. The knife is capable of

an enormous variety of marks, from delicate ____33____ to fierce sweeping and slices of paint.

The knife’s sharp edged marks create their own dynamic of light and shade. Alan possesses many

painting knives of different sizes, but tends to favour three or four, which are now ____34____thin

with constant use. He is still discovering new possibilities with the knife, driven by the demands

of a new subject. Although Alan’s paintings are made in the studio, they are all composed from

drawings made outdoors. These drawings are the seed corn on which all his paintings are based.

The marks that go down on paper make sure he ____35____not just the actual scene but also the

changing light, the direction of the wind and the ____36____ sounds and smells. For the painter,

the whole ____37____ experience remains fixed within the drawing long after he has left the

scene.

Throughout his life Alan has travelled ____38____for particular places that fuel his creative

imagination. He is an adventurous seeker, regardless of the ____39____ or difficulty of some of

the locations. Long ago he decided to ____40____the idea of working on large oil paintings out of

doors because it involved canvases, oil paints and many other tools around. He now travels light,

taking only sketchbooks, pens and a few watercolours with him. This gives him the freedom to

draw anywhere and to catch the fleeting moment—the ‘here-and-now-ness’ of the place.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

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.

Bees have evolved to be skilled living builders

that can build things many times their size. Bees

inspired Mirko Kovac, a roboticist to develop a way

to improve the flexibility of 3D printing. A

____41____ 3D printer is limited by the range of its

nozzle (喷嘴), and can only make objects smaller

than itself. Dr Kovac’s team has removed

the____42____ by giving the printer nozzle wings.

4

In the latest edition of Nature, Dr Kovac describes a system of flying robots that is composed

of two types of drones: builders and scanners. The builders carry the 3D-printing nozzle. The

scanners are robots equipped with cameras that are ____43____ for monitoring the progress of the

builders.

In the building process, builders and scanners carry out their respective tasks and

____44____ printing and adjusting, layer by layer, until a structure is complete. First, a builder

keeps flying over its area of operation and begins to release a jet of the building material. The

choice of material is important—it must be lightweight enough for the drones to carry but

____45____ enough to hold the following layers that will be built on top. Once the builder robot

has released a layer of material, the scanner robot flies over and____46____ the progress. The

system then computes the next layer that the builder should make, while also correcting for any

error that might have been discovered in what has already been built. These could be errors made

by the builder-drones or ____47____ in the expansion of the building material. At this point,

people can also manually adjust the process, ____48____ and correcting course where necessary.

The researchers tested the system’s ____49____ by building both a large cylinder (圆柱体)and a small cylinder. The tasks were not simple. Making circles on top of other circles would

not have worked, because the perfect match required in position would have been impractical to

achieve. ____50____, the builder robot printed winding circles that interleaved with(交错；嵌入)

the layers above and below, to ensure maximum stability.

The cylinders built by Dr Kovac’s robots successfully meet the requirements of the British

building codes. ____51____ these robots have been shown to be capable of manufacturing, Dr

Kovac says their main task will probably be, initially, in repair.

Because the flying robots can, in theory, operate anywhere, they could fix things in

dangerous or otherwise ____52____ places. Dr Kovac says that his robots could be used to

____53____and seal leaks in pipelines or fix cracks on tall buildings. These robots could be

____54____ to work more quickly, cheaply and with less risk to humans. Thinking more long

term, Dr Kovac sees a ____55____ future for his construction robots, building on the surfaces of

the Moon or Mars. But what we can say for sure is that it will make a huge difference to

construction on Earth.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. 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)

If I have a goal in life, it isn’t to be driving a Rolls-Royce. It’s to be giving away more than

$1,000,000 a year and having an impact on people’s lives. I have the success today because I

always had to work for what I wanted. I grew up accustomed to risks and disappointments, so I

was used to moving forward, no matter what.

In 2008, I went to Los Angeles where I tried to get hired as an agent, an analyst and a

financial broker. Unfortunately, all these doors slammed in my face. The world’s economy was in

a bad state, so I knew I would have to do a little spinning of my own.

Youth involves a certain innocence but also perseverance. The word “can’t” wasn’t in my

vocabulary. I partnered with a friend buying distressed multifamily properties around Houston.

Even though we were enthusiastic and backed with start-up sums, I didn’t make a deal work. My

friend moved on to other projects. Alone, I put all my money into the next real-estate project. I put

the time in, I dreamed it, but once again the deal fell through. Two months later, though, the deal

came back around. That was when the path opened, luck changed, and I was ready to form my

own company. I haven’t looked back. Only ahead.

I’m now able to give back to communities and causes. I donate about $500,000 a year, much

of that going to research to cure rare diseases. We also support a lot of services for disadvantaged

children in Houston and other places.

I have always been someone who can see the big picture and have never been distracted by

things that get in the way. There are lessons to be learned, and the biggest of those is to keep going.

You may have to change the path, but always keep that vision in front of you.

Cognitive Processing Therapy（CPT）, a long-term psychological therapy, is a specific type of

cognitive behavioral therapy which reduces post-traumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍)

symptoms after natural disasters. Typically, CPT is delivered over 12 sessions to help patients

learn how to modify negative attitudes and practices related to their trauma. The goal is that the

patient then creates a new, more positive view and understanding of the traumatic event, which

reduces on-going negative effects on the patient’s current life. It specifically focuses on the core

trauma themes of safety, trust, power and control, etc.

Delivered both individually and in structured group sessions, it allows for multiple different

paths to receive effective treatments. In some studies, it has shown to be helpful in cases where

medicine alone has not worked. Because CPT focuses on retraining thoughts and behaviors to

form practical strategies that can be applied to everyday life. Compared to other talk-therapies，it

has been especially successful, because it can be completed in a brief period of time , allowing for

a lower patient dropout rate. It also enhances brain connectivity, which lessens long-term impacts

of trauma. This increased connectivity is why cognitive behavioral therapy is often argued to be

more effective than medicine.

On the other hand, there are also multiple disadvantages to CPT. Due to its structured nature,

it may not be suitable for people with more complex mental health needs or learning difficulties.

Additionally, since it involves facing up to emotions and fears, patients may experience initial

periods of additional anxiety or discomfort. Some therapists also argue that because it only

addresses current problems and specific issues it does not address possible fundamental causes of

mental health conditions, and because it focuses on the individual’s capacity to change themselves

it does not address wider system problems that have a significant impact on a patient’s health and

well-being.

However, focusing mainly on post-natural disasters, regardless of pre-disaster health, CPT

has been repeatedly proven to be a rather successful treatment approach. Although there have not

been studies generalizing CPT for children, it is an effective treatment for adults. The clear

8

effectiveness of CPT demonstrates the importance of patient-specific therapies that are unique to

the experiences of individual patients.

63. According to the passage, CPT is intended to help patients ______________________.

A. learn how to modify various negative attitudes and practices

B. cultivate a positive view and understanding of the traumatic events

C. minimize on-going negative effects on their previous and current life

D. focus on the core trauma themes of safety, trust, power, control, etc.

64. Compared with other talk-therapies, what feature contributes to the effectiveness of CPT?

A. Its multiple treating assignments.

B. Its applicable strategies in daily life.

C. Its higher treatment fulfillment.

D. Its brain connectivity enhancement.

65. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Post-disaster health is not taken into consideration in the CPT.

B. CPT proves to be the most successful treatment approach so far.

C. More researches might be conducted into the effectiveness of CPT in children.

D. CPT addresses the fundamental causes of patients’ mental health conditions.

66. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The application of Cognitive Processing Therapy.

B. An introduction to a long-term psychological therapy.

C. A breakthrough in the psychological medical field.

D. The limitations of Cognitive Processing Therapy.

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A. Special occasions are another way in which languages differ.

B. It is natural to be critical of languages that lack expressions you think necessary.

C. What you really want to wish them is courage not fortune.

D. Having no English equivalent is annoying for those who are used to it.

E. You can say that phrase if you like, but your neighbour would look at you strangely.

F. But not having a word for something doesn’t mean you can’t coin one—or borrow it.

At a Loss for Words

Imagine a friend is heading out to face a difficult task. As a last word before they disappear,

you want to encourage them. What might you say? If you are speaking English, the likeliest

choice is “good luck”.

If you stop to think about it, that is a little odd. Though you might indeed hope luck smiles on

your friend, neither they nor you can do much about the probability. ____67____ That is why the

French, in this situation, say “bon courage”, not “good luck”.

English does not allow you to pair any old adjective with any old noun in a fixed expression.

You may wish someone “good morning”, “good afternoon” or “good night”, but not “good

weekend”. ____68____ However, in other languages it is perfectly usual.

9

____69____English-speakers wish each other a happy birthday, but speakers of many other

languages say “congratulations” as if the birthday girl had done something impressive merely by

surviving another year. The Dutch also say“gefeliciteerd” to members of the family, including the

one who really deserves congratulating: the mother. This is close to obligatory（义务的），while it

would come as a strange surprise in English.

It is tempting to draw deep cultural conclusions from the presence of this or the absence of

that in a language. ____70____For example, the English do say the typical French words bon

vovage and bon appétit, and there’s no reason to stop there. Congratulate your mother-in-law on

your wife’s birthday, and you can prepare for a delighted smile back. It may seem awkward or

tricky at first but you can make it stick if you try.

IV. Summary Writing

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the

passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Camping Can Be So Much Fun?

When you go on holiday, where do you like to stay? If you haven’t tried camping, maybe you

should join the increasing number of people who are enjoying the simple pleasures of camping.

By grabbing your tent, and some additional things, it’s easy to head off to the

countryside and enjoy a night or two under the stars. Many campers are dumping the trappings of

their modern, busy life to do this, encouraged by experts who say a few peaceful nights in the

middle of nowhere might be a good way to relax and improve our sleep patterns and well-being. It

is also, of course, a good low-budget holiday option.

For the adventurous, wild camping is an ideal way to escape from reality. Armed with

just some food and a sleeping bag, you’re free from rules, away from other people, and able to

enjoy the back-to-basics experience. But for those who still want some home comforts,

a campsite is a more suitable place to fix your tent. Here you have facilities such as washrooms, a

shop and maybe even a restaurant. And for the most luxurious camping experience, you could

try glamping, a type of camping associated with extreme comforts and luxury.

More recently, sales of camping equipment have jumped as more people have chosen a

vacation spent at hometown due to travel restrictions caused by the pandemic. One camping

retailer, Halfords, reported a sharp rise in demand for products such as stoves, cool

boxes and camping chairs. With the addition of soft pillows, powerful torches and lamps to light

up your tent and a better selection of easy-to-cook food, you can almost guarantee a comfortable

and enjoyable camping expedition. So maybe it’s time to give camping a try.
