The now extinct passenger pigeon has the dubious honor of being the last species anyone ever expected to disappear.At one point,there were more passenger pigeons than any other species ofbird.Rough  26  of their population went as high as five billion and they accounted for around 40 percent of the total indigenous bird population of North America inthe early 19th century.

Despite their huge population,passenger pigeons were  27  to human intrusion into their nesting territory.Their nests were shabby things and two weeks after the eggs. 28  ,the parent pigeons would abandon their offspring,leaving them to take care of themselves.People discovered that these baby pigeons were really tasty,and the adult birds were also quite  29  .First the Native Americans and then the transplanted Europeans cameto consider the birds a great  30  .

By the 1850s,commercial trapping of passengerpigeons wasproceeding at an  31 pace.Hundreds of thousands ofthe birds were being harvested every day to be made into popular pigeon pies.In addition,large  32  of the pigeons'nesting territory were being cleared away for planting crops and creating pasture land.As numerous as the passenger pigeons were,they were not an  33  resource.By the 1880s,it was noticed that the bird population had become seriously  34  .The last passenger pigeons killed in the wild were shot in 1899.

Eventually those billions and billions ofbirds shrank to a single remaining  35  ,a passenger pigeon named Martha,who died on September 1,1914,in captivity at the Cincinnati Zoo.In addition to being the end of an era,it was also the first time humans were able to exactly time the extinction of a species.

Is computercoding a foreign language?

A)As computer coding has become an increasingly sought-after skill,more K-12 schools are working it into their curriculums.Some states have considered allowing students to forgo (放弃)foreign language for coding classes,despite opposition from educators.

B)There's a debate over whether it's appropriate to teach coding in elementary schools, with fierce opinions on each side.When it comes to allowing coding to fill foreign language requirements,though,most educators agree:Coding should be added to curriculums,but not at the expense of foreign language classes.

C)The idea is that computer programming is alanguage,allowing people to communicate with machines and programs.It's the language of the 2lst century and more valuable than a natural language,some advocates argue.The computer science field is growing fasterthan schools can keep up because of budget constraints and a lack of skills training forteachers.

D)According to the 2016 U.S.News/Raytheon STEM Index,computer science jobs have helped boost wages in the U.S,and computer-related jobs hold the top seven positions in STEM fields for highest number of workers.Foreign language interest,on the other hand,is declining for the first time since 1995.The number of higher education language enrollments declined between 2009 and 2013 by more than 111,000 spots, according to the Modern Language Association of America.

E)“I think the opportunity to give people a choice is important,”says Florida state Senator Jeremy Ring,who introduced a bill last year that would allow Florida students to choose between foreign language and coding classes for the purpose of university admissions requirements,“I think if you're going to give two years of language in high school,you might as well do computer coding.”

F)The Florida bill died this year after passing 35:5 in the state Senate when the full Legislature failed to take action.It would have been the first state to try this initiative. Ring says that although he will be out of office,an identical bill will be reintroduced within the next year by others on his behalf.“In the speech I gave on the Senate floor,I said,'We can be the first state to do this,or we can be the 50th state to do it.It's our choice.It's going to happen,”Ring says.

G)A Kentucky bill similar to the one in Florida was met with complaints from educators, and was then amended to promote computer science education initiatives with no mention of foreign language requirements.Instead,the state will provide support for higher quality certified teachers for programming classes.Under the Washington bill,public universities would accept two years of computer science classes in place of two years of foreign language for admission purposes.A report detailing the opinions of state university officials is due to the Legislature by November 2017.

H)Texas passed a bill in 2013 that allows students to substitutecomputer coding only afterthey have attempted and performed pooly in a foreign language class.Srini Mandyam,CTO and co-founder of kid-friendly instructional coding company Tynker,believes allowing students to forgo foreign language because they strugglewith it is unproductive because every subject,whether art,math or language,is a significant contribution to a well-rounded existence.“Many students don't fare well with algebra but we never discusseliminating itor...say chemistry is now counted as an algebra class,"he saidvia email.“We teach algebra because it's important and we should teach foreign language and coding for the same reason.Exposure to a wide breadth of subjects and material results in well-rounded students who are able to make informed decisions..about what they want to pursue.”

I)Computer science courses already fulfill a math or science high school graduation requirement in 28 states and the District ofColumbia,up from only 12 states in 2013.And while advocates of the bills say they should count as foreign language instead, opponents stress the importance of balancing computer and foreign languageskills.

J)Studies show that bilingnalism(双语)correlates with cognitive development,intelligence, memory and problem solving abilities,according to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.A 2007 study showed that foreign language students outperformed their non-foreign language peers on standardized tests after only two to three years of study.And while a 2014 report from German and American universities suggests that programmers are using language(but not mathematical)regionsof the brain when understanding code,critics remain wary.They say that regardless of cognitive functions,being monolingual is a disadvantage in the increasingly international economy,even if English hasbecome the de facto(事实上的)language of business

K)“Our world is shrinking but its problems are reallygrowing,”says ACTFL National Language Teacher of the Year Ted Zarrow,who teaches high school Latin in Westwood, Massachusetts,and has also studied Spanish,French,German,Italian and Greek.“We need to find a way to put ourselves at the global table and to treat each other with mutual respect.And learning languages allows us to do that because languageis not part of culture,language is culture.”

L)Even with the benefits and skill sets languages provide,recruiters and employers value computer skills more.According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers”2016 report,study abroad and foreign language fluency were not very influential in the employee hiring processes,but 55 percent of employers looked for computer skills on applicants'resumes.However,although 2016 computer science graduates can expect to make the second highest starting salary compared with other jobs this year,the Bureau of Labor predicts the demand for computer programmers will decrease 8 percent or by 26,500 jobsby 2024.

M)Ring says foreign language skills are important,but expresses doubt that school districts could work both coding and language into their curriculum in a significant way because they lack the time in the school day.“Nothing against language,"he says.“I just think it's something you have to start early and not just have something that you do for a couple of years inhigh school,"he says.

N)Zarrow agrees that foreign language education should begin earlier,but says it is possible to work both computer programming and foreign language learning into schools evenly.He suggests an immersive,duallanguage program where students spend halfthe day in English and half the day in another language,as several schools around the country have successfully implemented.“The study of language fosters a respect for diversity,arespect for ethnicity and really a respect for language,”Zarrow says.

O)Though the benefits of computer programming skills are vast,foreign language and coding experts agree that computer science should be negotiated into curriculums rather than replacing foreign language outright.Mandyamsays the two skill sets are essential but unrelated.“Coding is an incredibly important 2lst century skill for our kids to learn, and that's why we spend so much time trying to teach it,”Mandyam says via email. “But I believe it is the same as or even really comparable to learning a foreign language. It would be a shame to lose something so important for the sake of adding something else,even something as important as coding.Clearly,education leaders must figure out a way to teach both.”

36.Employers attach more importance to applicants'computer skills than their language competence.

37.One U.S.state senator proposed that high school students be allowed to study either foreign language or computer coding.

38.Learning languages broadens students'international perspective and nurtures mutual respect amongpeoples,according to a high school language teacher.

39.One U.S.state will see to it that programming classes are taught by quality teachers.

40.Statistics show while computer-related jobs have been on the rise,foreign languages have become less appealing to American students since mid-1990s.

41.All school subjects are said to be essential to sudents'well-rounded development.

42.There is consensus among most educators that coding should be taught in schools but should notreplace foreign language.

43.One study showed that foreign language learning improved students'academic performance.

44.Being short of funding and qualified teachers,schools lag behind the fast developing computer science field

45.A distinguished high school language teacher also believes it is advisable to start learning a foreign language at an earlier age.

Section C

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D). You should decide on the bestchoice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

The U.S.and China don't agree on much these days.Germany and France share a border and a currency but are frequently at odds.The U.K.and India like to march to their own drum.But there's one issue on which all these countries see eye to eye:Technology companies are too big,too powerful,and too profitable.And that power is only likely to intensify,leaving governments with no choice but to confront it head-on by taking the companies to court,passing new competition laws,and perhaps even breaking up the tech giants.

China is the latest to implement an anti-trust crackdown,unveiling anti-monopoly rules last month.The draft rules followed the surprise suspension of a $37 billion stock offering by billionaire Jack Ma's Ant GroupCo.,making clearthat no company can evade the government'sregulaton.The moves in China coincide with accelerating efforts in the U.S.and Europe to rein in Amazon.com,Apple,Facebook,and Google.

“The big get bigger and bigger but without being better,”says Andreas Schwab,a German member of the European Parliament who championed a 2014 resolution to break up Google.“Growing economic power,growing influence on local markets all over the world,and a growing concern of competitors and consumers altogether have made it happen now.”

In this new anti-trust era,the old focus on pricing power no longer applies,because several of the biggest tech companies have established trillion-dollar monopolies by charging consumers next to nothing.Tech giants are increasingly assuming powerful positions in banking,finance,advertising,retail,and other markets that force smaller businesses torely on their platformstoreach customers.

For years,Europe alone confronted the power of digital giants.Governments were alarmed that European companies were failing to match Silicon Valley's innovationsor to stop Google and Facebook from vacuuming up personal  data and,with that,advertising revenue.Led by Margre the Vestager,the European Union's competition chief,countries have sought topolicethe market and encourage fairplay.

In China the crackdown has been driven at least partly by fear that the homegrown tech industry is becoming too powerful.The country has long championed Alibaba and Tencent,but their massive accumulation of data on the Chinese citizenry is a growing concern for Beijing.

In the U.S.,a new breed of anti-trust experts argues that consideration should begiven to privacy,control over data,workers'rights,and the overall impact on smaller companies.And the public in general have grown increasingly skeptical of social media companies. More than 60% say the sector has a negative effect on the country,and almost halfwant more regulation for social media,according to a 2020 Pew Research Center study.

46.What does the author say is the issue all major economic powers have to address?

A)Howto ensurethe sustainable growth of their techgiants. 

B)How to keep the competitiveness of theirtech companies. 

C)How tobreak upthe powerful giant tech companies.

D)How to stoptech companies from gaining monopoly.

A)All attempts toevade regulation are doomed to failure.

B)All attempts to monopolize sales must becracked down. 

C)All companiesmust be regulated by the government

D)All companies,domestic or foreign,are created equal.

48.How are smaller companies impacted by tech giants'business expansion?

A)They can no longer do business independent of tech giants.   

B)They are frequently denied access to tech giants'platforms.  

C)They haveto change marketing strategies to keep customers. 

D)They no longer have the powerto price their own products.

49.What have EU countries done to confront the power of digital giants?

A)They have imposed strict regulation over digital giants'advertising.

B)They have considered regulatory action to promote faircompetition.

C)They have limited sales of digital giants'products.

D)They have sought to protect consumers'privacy.

50.What do Americans generallythink of social media companies according to the author?

A)They are invadingpeople's privacy.

B)They are increasingly influential.

C)They are becominguntrustworthy.

D)They are growing out of control.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

Born from the accessibility of mass air travel,modern international tourism has been popularized as“holiday-making”in regions that offer comparative advantages of sand,sun and sea.Travel is often portrayed as a tool for personal growth and tourism as an economic motor for destination countries and cities.There is a tendency to assume that tourism is good for everyone involved.

Today the bigbang of tourism drives over 1.2 billion tourists across international borders annually.Many popular places are literally being loved to death.Recentprotests in ports ofcall like Venice and Barcelona against disturbances created by cruise ships show the unfortunate consequences of emphasizing quantity over quality in tourism.

Uncontrolled tourism development has become a primary driver of social and environmental disruption.Tourism studies provide much documentation of the many negative social impacts of tourism and resulting resentment that local populations direct towardvisitors

Antagonism toward tourists typically develops in mature,heavily visited destinations Protests in heavily visited destinations suggest that traditional tourism has overstayed its welcome.

Residents often become frustratedwhen the benefits of tourism are not felt locally. Although it can generate foreign exchange,income and employment,there's no guarantee that multinational hotel chains will allocate these benefits equitably among local Communities.

On the contrary,when people stay at large resorts or on cruise ships,they make most of their purchases there,leaving local communities little opportunity to benefit from tourist spending.These forms of tourism widen economic and political gaps between haves and have-nots at local destinations.

In recent decades,local residents in destination communities also have found themselves negotiatingnew cultural boundaries,class dynamics,service industry roles and lifestyle transformations.For example,data show that tourism activity corresponds to increased social problems as local residents adopt the behaviors of tourists.

What does all thismean for theeveryday traveler?

First,all tourists should make every effort to honor their hosts and respect local conditions.This means being prepared to adapt to local customs and norms,rather than expecting local conditions to adapt to travelers.

Second,tourism is a market-based activity andworks best when consumers reward better performers.In the information age,there's little excuse for travelers being uninformed about where their vacation money goes and who it enriches.

Informed travelersalso are better able to distinguish between multinational companies and local entrepreneurs whose businesses provide direct social,environmental,and economic benefits for local residents.Such businesses are in love with the destination and are therefore deserving of market reward.In the longrun,being a responsible traveler means ensuring net positive impacts for local people and environments.With the information available at our fingertips,therehas never been more opportunity todo so.

51.What is the popularassumption aboutinternational tourism?

A)Itsbenefits may compensate for the adverse environmental consequences. 

B)Its rapiddevelopment is attributed to people's improved living standard.

C)It appealsto people in places with favorable geographical conditions.

D)It contributes to the economy ofdestination countries and regions.

52.What do we learn from some studies about uncontrolled tourism development?

A)It gives rise to an increase in mass confrontations.

B)It incurs localresidents'antagonism totourists.

C)It inhibits the steady growth of local economy

D)It brings in a large chunk of mobile population.

53.Why does the author say local residents of popular destinations often feel frustrated?

A)They fall victim to social conflics and environmental disturbances.

B)They have little opportunity to enjoy themselves on cruise ships.

C)They cannot find employment in multinational hotel chains

D)Theydo not think they benefit as much as they deserve.

54.How does theauthor say local residents in destination communities respond to tourism activity?

A)They endeavor to adapt to it.

B)They readily adopt new lifestyles.

C)They immerse tourists in their culture.

D)They try to upgrade their business models.

55.What can tourists do to exert more positiveimpacts on the tourist destinations?

A)Show interest in local customs and lifestyles.   

B)Seek possibilities toinvest in local companies. 

C)Use the services provided by local businesses.  

D)Give favorable comments about their services.

52.【定位】由题干中的studies和uncontrolled tourism development定位到第三段。

B)【精析】事实细节题。第三段第一句提到未加控制的旅游业开发已成为社会和环境破坏的主要驱动因素。紧接着第二句指出，旅游业研究提供了大量文献资料证明该行业的众多负面社会影响以及由此导致当地居民对游客的怨恨。第四段第一句则进一步强调这种对游客的敌意通常出现在人满为患的成熟目的地。由此可知，对未加控制的旅游业开发进行的一些研究表明它引起当地居民对游客的怨恨和敌意。故答案为B)。

53.【定位】由题干中的local residents和 feel frustrated定位到第五段。

D)【精析】推理判断题。第五段第一句提到当地方感 受不到旅游业带来的好处时，当地居民往往就会变得沮丧。紧接着第二句进一步解释原因是旅游业无法保证跨国连锁酒店会在当地社区公平分配这些好处。由此可知，当地居民经常感到沮丧是因为他们无法公平获得旅游业带来的好处，即未获得应得的好处。故答案为D)。

54.【定位】由题干中的local residents in destination communities和tourism activity定位到第七段。

A)【精析】事实细节题。第七段第一句提到目的地社区的当地居民发现自己一直在适应新的文化边界阶级动态、服务行业角色和生活方式转变。紧接着第二句具体举例进行说明，因为当地居民出现了同游客一样的种种不良行为，即当地居民在适应旅游活动的负面影响，所以旅游活动相应地带来了社会 问题的增加。综合可知，目的地社区的当地居民对旅游活动的回应是尽力去适应它。故答案为A)。

55.【定位】由题干中的tourists和positive impacts on the tourist destinations定位到最后一段第三句。

C)【精析】推理判断题。最后一段第三句提到从长远来看，做一个负责任的旅行者意味着确保对当地人和当地环境只有积极影响。而前两句指出，本土企业为当地居民提供直接的社会、环境和经济效益，应该得到市场回报。由此可知，负责任的旅行者应使用本土企业提供的服务，让本土企业从中获利，从而对当地产生积极影响。故答案为C。
