The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark on in later life, a new study has suggested. Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the possibility of what job a person will end up with, the study by the Office for National Statistics found.

Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life. A child born in December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector, they found.

A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots. Meanwhile, April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions, births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player, doctor or dentist. The study was gained by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census (人口普查), the Daily Mail reported. Although these trends may be difficult to explain, relations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.

Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, asthma and autism. They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year.

31. What does the underlined phrase “embark on” refer to? A. land on in

32. According to the researchers, a child born in March is likely to become_______.

A. a pilot

B. a dentist

C. a debt collector

D. an artist

B. resign

C. keep in touch with

D. be occupied

33. We can learn from the text that______.

A. the month babies are born could only affect his intelligence and length of life B. People born in the summer months are more likely to get highly paid C. the choice of profession for April and May is very narrow D. Spring babies may have the bigger chance to get ill 34. What can be included from the passage?

A. The fate has been already decided when people are born B. There exist connections between birth date and occupations

C. People born in Autumn would be more successful than those born in Spring D. The time of year one is born decides which specific health problems one has 35. According to the passage, which of the following statement is WRONG?

A．March babies are more likely to be pilots when grown up．

B．If born in December, a person is more likely to become a dentist

C．Summer babies may be less clever than those born in other seasons D．As in the research, health problems have something to do with birth months． C

\US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often，it's accompanied by an appeal:\about those starving orphans in Africa!\Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying \perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow.

According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.

Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand.

Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently，some customers are calling for this too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can't afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller.

It's not that working class Americans don't want to eat healthy. It's just that，after long hours at low-paying jobs，getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck ，happy to save a little money for next year's Christmas presents. 36. Parents in the United States tend to ask their children____________.

A. to save food. B. to wash the dishes. C. not to eat too much D.

not to waste food.

37. Why do American restaurants serve large portions?

A. Because Americans have big bellies. B. Because Americans associate quantity with value.

C Because Americans are good eaters. D Because Americans are greedy. 38. What happened in the 1970s?

A. The US government recommended the amount of food a restaurant gave to a customer. B. Health experts persuaded restaurants to serve smaller portions. C. The American waistline started to expand. D. The United States produced more grain than needed. 39. What does the survey indicate?

A. Twenty percent Americans want smaller portions. B. Many poor Americans want large portions.

C. Fifty seven percent Americans earn $150 ,000 per year. D. Twenty three percent Americans earn less than $25,000 per year. 40. Which of the following is Not true of working class Americans?

A. They work long hours. B. They live from paycheck to paycheck.

C. They want to save money for their children D. They don't want to be healthy eaters.

D

The term “Industry 4.0” refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the production of goods with machines like steam engines, which was followed by the second industrial revolution that introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolution —the use of electronics and IT in production.

Industry 4.0 is a high-tech project, which promotes the computerization of manufacturing (制造业). The basic principle of Industry 4.0 is that by connecting machines, work pieces and systems, we are creating intelligent networks along the entire value chain that can control each other automatically. The goal is the Smart Factory, which adapts well and uses resources

efficiently as well as linking customers and business partners with great intelligence. Technological basis are the Internet systems and advanced factories. Experts believe that Industry 4.0 could be a reality in about 10 to 20 years.

So, what effects does this change have on the classic manufacturing? According to an expert, “it is highly likely that the world of production will become more and more networked until everything is connected with everything else.” Networks and processes have so far been limited to one factory. But in the time of Industry 4.0, the boundaries (界限) of individual factories will most likely no longer exist. Instead, they will be lifted in order to inter-connect multiple factories or even geographical regions.

How is an Industry 4.0 factory different from a today’s factory? In current industry environment, providing high-end quality service or product with the least cost is the key to success. Factories are trying to increase their profit as much as possible. In the time of Industry 4.0, various data sources are available to provide worthwhile information about different aspects of the factory. Using data for understanding the current condition and checking faults and failures is a natural thing. The sharing of information around the clock and around the globe will enable these connected systems to manage themselves independently, work more efficiently and identify any errors quickly.

The good news is that Europe is much better prepared for the Industry 4.0 revolution than one might think. Europe will position itself as a pioneer in the fourth revolution. Industry 4.0 is a project in the high-tech strategy of the German government. Meanwhile, in the U.S., some companies are also working hard on it. But the success of industry depends on whether business and politics can work together. It’s not only politics that needs to help open the door for Industry 4.0. Every company is advised to seize the new digital opportunities. 41. What marks the coming of Industry 4.0?

A. Steam engines. B. Mass production. C. Intelligent networks. D. Use of electronics.

42. Industry 4.0 will probably result in ________ in the world of manufacturing.

A. everything connected with everything else B. production limited to an individual factory

C. networks and processes no longer existing D. classic factories stopping their

competition

43. What’s the meaning of the underlined part in Para. 4?

A. Sharing information of the world time. B. Global news broadcast at any time. C. Spreading news widely on the hour. D. Instant worldwide information exchange.

44. According to the last paragraph, who is the most active in pushing Industry 4.0?

A. The European companies. B. The American government. C. The German government. D. The American companies. 45. The writer’s attitude toward Industry 4.0 can best be described as ________.

A. negative B. supportive C. doubtful D. cautious 第二节： 信息匹配（ 共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分 ）

B. Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand．\demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.

C. Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted．Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem．One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

D. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing \products they buy should be safe for the environment．Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: \\reused or can it only be used once?\

第二节 读写任务 （共1小题，满分25分）

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Many students in the colleges and universities are found taking no notice of the waste of water, electricity or paper.

There is a phenomenon which can often be seen in students’ public washrooms. A basin of clothes is put under a tap which is turned on at the maximum, and the water in the basin is spilling over,

but there is no one in the washroom. The owner of the clothes comes back and pours out half of the water in the basin.

The same thing happens in the use of electricity in the colleges and universities. During supper time, all the lights are turned on. However, there are only several or even no students in the classroom, which can hold over a hundred students. At night, some of the dormitories are locked, but the lights are still on inside. Quite a few students explain themselves that they don’t have to pay the extra electricity cost even if they overuse it because they have paid the school fee already.

When typing the exam paper and thesis, many students type the paper only on the one side. Few students type the paper on the both sides. The reason is that they think the price of typing on one side or both sides on a piece of paper is the same. As a result, it causes a large amount of paper waste. 【写作内容】

A number of students in the colleges pay no attention to the waste of water, electricity and paper, which causes a large amount of energy to be wasted.

In my opinion, it is wrong for college students to do so. It’s a shame that many of them keep on wasting energy. They shouldn’t do this even if they pay for it.

So it is necessary for us students to enhance the awareness of saving energy. The waste and overuse of energy has influenced ecological balance, which will have a harmful effect on our environment and threaten our existence.

Personally, I think we can save much energy in our daily life. First, we can walk or ride bicycles to school. If schools are too far away from our homes, we can take buses instead of taking private cars or taxis. Second, we should write on both sides of paper. Besides, we can take

reusable bags with us when shopping. Fourth, we can save electricity by turning off the lights or other electrical appliances when we sleep or leave the rooms. In addition, we can reuse the water after washing to clean the toilets.

In a word, as long as we make efforts, a lot of energy can be saved and the environment can be protected.
