You freeze in horror（驚駭） and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.Clicking “send” too soonDont waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version（版本） and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong nameThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured（慎重的）: don t handle it too lightly, as people can be offended（冒犯）, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture (i.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all” unintentionally（非故意地）You accidentally reveal(透露) to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you d like to take. In this case, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this case, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually made in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person youre discussing. In that case, ask to speak personally as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your mistakes calmly and sensiblysee it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.21.

By talking to the receiver face to face.D. By seeking support from the receivers friends. B In terms of maths, I was second to none at school. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.In fact, I was a victim of agender stereotype that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not appear in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “Its great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector（領(lǐng)域）. Its a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code programs and these days its as important as reading and writing. Ive realized that at university Id achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code programs limits your influence on the world far more than ignorance of great literature. Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I dont want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. Im exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. Im hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials for science and want to change the world.25.What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Personal learning style. B. Traditional sex concept.C. Sex characteristics D. Profession difference.26. According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?A. Enriching imagination. B. Winning popularity.C. Improving language competence. D. Increasing job possibilities. 27. How did the author feel for her major choice?A. Approving. B. Ambitious C. Regretful. D. Discouraged.28. What may be the best title for the text?A. Girls, Choose More Wisely B. Good Subjects, Good FutureC. Art or Science, Either is OK D. Catch Chances, Change the World C Researchers in the psychology（心理學(xué)） department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress. This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress-related disorders（混亂）.Until now, psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same fight-or-flight reaction to stress. In other words, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal（言語的） or physical conflict (fight), or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (flight). However, the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress. While men often react to stress in the fight-or-flight response, women often have another kind of reaction which could be called tend and befriend. That is, they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing（養(yǎng)育） their young (tend), and by looking for social contact and support from others - especially other females (befriend).Scientists have long known that in the fight-or- flight reaction to stress, an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body. The UCLA research team suggests that the female tend-or-befriend response is also based on a hormone. This hormone, called oxytocin（催產(chǎn)素）, has been studied in the context of childbirth, but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress. The principal investigator（研究者）, Dr. Shelley E. Taylor, explained that animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer, more relaxed, more social, and less anxious. While men also secrete(分泌）oxytocin, its effects are reduced by male hormones. In terms of everyday behavior, the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed. They may phone relatives or friends, or ask directions if they are lost.The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work. The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet. For a typical mother, dealing with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stress-related disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior. The tend-and-befriend regulatory(調(diào)節(jié)的) system may protect women against stress, and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.29. The UCLA study shows that in response to stress, men are more likely than women to _ .A. turn to friends for help B. find an escape from realityC. solve a conflict calmly D. seek comfort from children30. Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?A. Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.B. Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.C. Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.D. Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.31. What can be learned from the passage?A. Male hormones help build up the bodys resistance to stress.B. In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.C. The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings. D. Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.32. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. How men and women suffer from stress B. How men and women get over stressC. How researchers overcome stress problemsD. How researchers handle stress-related disorders D Runners who encounter（遇到） visual and auditory(聽覺的) distractions (干擾)may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, according to research by the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas. Runners often seek distractions from the task at hand. Whether it is music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill(跑步機(jī)), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But, researchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered those distractions may lead to injury.Daniel Herman, MD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team conducted research on the effects of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to determine what effect these distractions would have on things such as heart rate, how many times a runner breathes per minute and how much oxygen is consumed（消耗，消耗） by the body. The runners were all injury-free at the time of the study and ran 31 miles each week. Dr. Hermans team had each participant run on a treadmill three separate times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visual distraction, during which the runners concentrated on a screen displaying different letters in different colors with the runner having to note when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runner having to note when a certain word was spoken by a certain voice. When compared to running without distractions, the participants applied force faster to their left and right legs called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced an increased amount of force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions. Finally, the runners tended to breathe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all. “Running in environments with different distractions may unfavorably（不利地） affect running performance and increase injury risk,” explains Dr. Herman. “Sometimes these things cannot be helped, but you may be able to reduce potentially cumulative(累積的) effects. For example, when running a new route in a chaotic（混亂的） environment such as during a destination of marathon, you may want to skip listening to something which may require more attention - like a new song playlist.” Dr. Hermans team will continue to investigate the potential relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual cues（提示，線索）.33. Paragraph 2 tells us the research _.A. process B. results C. reflection D. questions34. Based on the research, runners with auditory distractions tended to _.A. breathe heavier and have lower heart rates B. get an increased amount of ground reaction force C. apply more force with less oxygen consumptionD. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates35. What can we infer from the passage?A. Running with distractions becomes uncommon nowadaysB. Listening to a new song while running ensure performanceC. Runners are advised to reduce distractions in a destination of marathonD. Runners are more likely to get injured in an environment without distractions36. What is probably the next task for Dr. Hermans team?A. How distractions should be used in training B. What effective ways can cure leg injuriesC. Why runners use auditory and visual cuesD. What determines training techniques第二節(jié)（共 5 小題；每小題 2 分，滿分 10 分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。What do you order when you go to a Chinese restaurant? Do you start with an appetizer（開胃食品） of fried dumplings and then move onto General Tsos chicken? 37_Tofu is made from soybeans (黃豆). There are different types of tofu, from soft creamy silken（柔軟的） tofu to pressed extra firm tofu. The difference is the amount of water in them. The longer the tofu is pressed, the more water is squeezed out and the tofu becomes denser (更密實(shí)的) and chewier（耐嚼的）. 38 In the letter to his friend John Bartram, Franklin cites (引用) a description of a type of Chinese cheese made from soybeans called “teu-fu” by Fernandez Navarette who published accounts of his travels to China in the late 1600s. However, there isnt much documentation（文件） of tofu production in the United States. 39 In 1917, as part of an effort to develop new sources of protein for American soldiers during World War I, the United States Department of Agriculture sent Chinese-born doctor Yamei Kin, a dietitian（營養(yǎng)學(xué)家） well-known for promoting tofu as a nutritious meat alternative（供選擇的東西）, to China to study soybeans. 40 It wasnt until the 1970s that tofu started to become better known, during a wave of interest in vegetarianism（素食主義）, natural food, and less wasteful food sources. 41 And the restaurant chain Chipotle successfully added tofu to its menu a few years ago. A. Americans are not big consumers of tofu.B. Lets take a look at tofu and its history in the United States.C. Or do you start with deep-fried tofu and then choose Ma Po tofu instead?D. Today, you can buy different types of tofu in many American supermarkets.E. Despite the governments efforts, interest among the American public never picked up. F. One of the earliest references to tofu by an American is in a letter by Benjamin Franklin.G. It is likely that by the early 1900s, cities with large Asian populations had small tofu shops.第三部分：語言運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分 45 分）第一節(jié)：完形填空（共 15 小題；每小題 1 分，滿分 15 分）One day, a sociologist proposed that the consumer society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I 42 hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood. As the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said, “This is the best thing you could have done. Life has become hopelessly 43 . A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you 44 things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise.” I agreed. Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some t
