Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Quite often, educators tell families of children who are learning English as a second language to speak only English, and not their native language, at home. Although these educators may have good ___41___, their advice to families is misguided, and it arises from misunderstandings about the process of language ___42___. Educators may fear that children hearing two languages will become ___43___ confused and thus their language development will be ___44___. Children are capable of learning more than one language, whether simultaneously (同时地) or sequentially (依次地). In fact, most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even, in many cases, multilingual. Globally, knowing more than one language is viewed as an asset (资产) and even a ___45___ in many areas.It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given ___46___ to poor families with limited educational opportunities, not to wealthier families who have many educational advantages. Since children from poor families often are ___47___ as at-risk for academic failure, teachers believethat advising families to speak English only is appropriate. Teachers consider learning two languages to be too ___48___ for children from poor families, believing that the children are already burdened by their home situations.If families do not know English or have limited English skills themselves, how can they communicate in English? Advising non-English-speaking families to speak only English is ___49___ to telling them not to communicate with or ___50___ with their children. Moreover, the underl ying message is that the family’s native language is not important or valued.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）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.In the increasingly busier world where productivity is on the minds of many, instead of downloading the latest time management app, or forcing yourself to stay at work for hours on end, is there a(n) ___51___ to being productive?The first thing we should know is that willpower is a(n) ___52___ source that can be entirely used up. So instead of ___53___ yourself to simply try harder, a more methodical approach is suggested.The first step: Get started! It may seem ___54___ but studies have shown starting a project to be the biggest barrier to productivity. Before starting, our brain visualizes the hardest parts to come, and instead tries to simulate real work by focusing on small mindless tasks.___55___, there’s construct of the mind known as the Zeigernik Effect (蔡格尼克效应), which helps humans to finish a task that they’ve already started. The Zeigerni k Effect shows that when we don’t finish a task, we experience ___56___ and intrusive thoughts about it. So get started.Now what about time management? Shockingly, when we look at most of the elite musicians in the world, we find that they aren’t ___57___ practicing more. Instead, they focus their energy on the hardest task. Those musicians have periods of intense work followed by breaks. Not relying on willpower, they rely on their ___58___ and disciplined scheduling. Studies have found that most elite violinists generally follow a 90 minute work rule with a 15 to 20 minute break afterwards every day. But how can you develop the discipline to follow this ___59___?One key point is giving yourself a deadline; write it down; mark it in your calendar. And you’ll be much more likely to complete your task. On top of this, create something called an accountability (问责制) chart to ___60___ your progress. In one column write the time span, and in the other the activities you accomplished during this time, ___61___ those on a diet who record their food intake.Writing down your progress allows you to ___62___ evaluate your work. As opposed to inaccurately assuming what you’ve done, further ___63___ your progress to the end helps to avoid small mindless work.And finally, stop multitas king. Well it may feel like you’re accomplishing more. But actually, studies show that multi-taskers are much less ___64___. Instead, try and make a list at night of what you want to accomplish tomorrow. With your action plan, you ___65___ the idea of trying to complete multiple activities at once.Your brain will find these less challenging. And it will make the starting process easier. With a clear goal and action plan in mind, your productivity levels can soar to new heights.51. A. room B. secret C. attitude D.origin52. A. outstanding B. inevitable C. exhaustible D. essential53.

A. stick to B. face up to C. decide on D. get rid ofSection B （24分）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)Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys on this topic suggest that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that T oday’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the impulse to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents -- today’s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.66. The surveys inform us of ____________.A. the conditions of college dormitoriesB. the sign of parent’s management in their own behaviorsC. the development of communication technologyD. the parents’ over-protection of their college children67. Which of the following statement does the author most probably agree with?A. Technology explains greater parental involvement with their children.B. Parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence.C. Parents today are less protective than those in the past.D. The disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages.68. What is the meaning of the word “impulse” in this passage?A. Desperation.B. Admiration.C. Urge.D. Depression.69. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Dependence or Independence.B. Technology or Attitude.C. Family Influence or Social Changes.D. College Management or Communication Advancement.(B)Spanish-American InstituteStudent Cub NotesFree and Low Cost Gyms, Health Clubs and PoolsNYC Department of Parks Recreation CentersRecreation Centers: The NYC Department of Parks has manyRecreation Centers throughout New York City.

You will probably fail to find ____________ on the homepage.A. the cost for various membershipsB. the locations of recreations centersC. the staff and provided servicesD. the facilities, phones and web links(C)Just how much does the Constitution（宪法）protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant（授权令）if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to restore the practice that the police may search through the contents of suspects’ smartphones at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state says, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The justices would be careless if they followed California’s advice. They should start by rejecting California’s weak argument that exploring the contents of a smart phone is similar t o say, going through a suspect’s wallet. The court has ruled that poli ce don’t offend against the Fourth Amendment（修正案）when they go through the wallet, of an arrestee without a warrant. In fact, exploring one’s smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestee’s readinghistory, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence.Americans should take steps to protect their own digital privacy and should avoid putting important information in smartphones. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution’s prohibition on unreasonable searches.In many cases, it would not be very difficult for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still trump（打出王牌）the Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe and dangerous circumstances, such as the threat of immediate harm, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not deleted or altered while a warrant is on the way. The justices, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more flexibility.But the justice s should not swallow California’s argument whole. New technology sometimes demands fresh applications of the Constitution’s protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th. At that time, the justices had to explain new rules for the new personal domain（领域）of cars. Similarly, the justices must sort out how the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution applies to digital information now.73. The Supreme Court will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legal to ____________.A. search for suspects’ mobile phones without a warrantB. check suspects’ phone co ntents without being authorizedC. prevent suspects from deleting their phone contentsD. prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones74. The author’s attitude toward California’s argument is one of ____________.A. toleranceB. indifferenceC. disapprovalD. carefulness75. The author believes that exploring one’s phone content is comparable to ____________.A. getting into one’s residenceB. ha nding one’s historical recordsC. scanning one’s correspondencesD. going through one’s wallet76. In Paragraph 4 and 5, the author shows his concern that ____________.A. principles are hard to be clearly expressedB. the court is giving police less room for actionC. phones are used to store sensitive informationD. citizens’ priva cy is not effectively protected77. Orin Kerr’s comparison is quoted to indicate that ____________.A. the Constitution should be carried out flexiblyB. New technology also requires reinterpretation of the ConstitutionC. California’s argument goes against principles of the ConstitutionD. Principles of the Constitution should never be alteredSection C （8分）Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such concepts as freedom of choice and individuality. It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all motivation to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. Wearing a uniform costs the individual __________________________________.79. What does the author think of an organization that is weak and has to dependon uniforms to encourage its members?_________________________________________________________________.80. Why does the author disagree with those believing that wearing uniformseliminates all jealousy and competition?_________________________________________________________________.81. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, in terms of industry besides advertisingand promotion, _______________________________________________ would be affected.第Ⅱ卷（47分）I.

Aral (A managerial economist at the Massachusetts institute of technology) says, from housing ___31___ to gold prices and from political polls to restaurant reviews, the ___32___ that other people like something has a powerful ability to make people like it themselves.The new study ___33___ how simple it would be for companies to control reviews of their products by simply adding a few positive ___34___ of their own early reviews in the process, Araladds.It found that effects were strongest when stories were about politics, business and cultures than for fun or lifestyle pieces. In situations where there are more ___35___ news reviews, you have to be a little more cautious about interpreting likes and dislikes.“Think twice before you trust, how many likes something has,” he adds. “That’s something you have to ___36___ with a grain of salt (持怀疑态度).” And it’s a situation many online users ___37___ on a daily basis.Aral recently went to review a restaurant with a plan to give it three out of five stars, but when he got to the ___38___, he was shown how other people describe the same place and those reviews include someone with five stars.

Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）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.Whether it’s from an awful breakup or a pai nful life event, some memories can return repeatedly to our mind for the entire lives. But, what if science can ___41___ your bad memories so that you can start all over again? As is known to all, memory is an incredibly complex ____42___. While scientists used to believe it was like a filing cabinet and particular memories were stored in different sections of the brain, we now know this is ___43___.In fact, each memory is a brain wide process. If you end up remembering something, it’s because the cells in your brain are being fired, ___44___ new connections and links and literally rebuild the circuitry of your mind. And this change is partially ___45___ by proteins in the brain. So what if the proteins aren’t available?Simply put, memories can’t be made. Seriously, scientists have tested this by giving animals drugs that prevent these proteins from forming. ___46___, the animals have no recollection of the things that took place shortly after the drug was taken. From this research, scientists actually found a way to target long-term memories for ___47___. You see, every single time you remember a memory, your brain is once again firing and rewiring.In fact, each time you reflect on a memory, you are physically changing that memory in your mind. And each time the memory is changed a little, it reflects your ___48___ thoughts. Remembering, to a great extent, is an act of ___49___ and imagination, which means that the more you reflect on old memories, the less accurate they will become. And scientists have actually quantified this change.After 9/11, hundreds of people were asked about their memories of the dreadful day. A year later, 37% of the details had changed. By 2004, nearly 50% of the details had changed or gone ___50___. And because memories are formed and rebuilt every time, if you administer (服药) the protein-preventing drug while recalling a memory, the memory can be ___51___ removed.To test this, scientists took lab rats and played sound for them, shortly followed by anelectric shock. ___52___ doing this for many times, the rats quickly learned that if they heard the sound, a shock was soon to follow. Therefore, they would stress up and freeze every time they heard it. Months later, these rats would still ___53___ the noise. However, if they administered the drug first, the rats would lose the memory of the sound, and simply continue on. They had lost their memory of that specific noise.To be sure that the drug wasn’t just causing large-scale brain damage, scientists repeated these experiments with various tones this time. Both sounds would warn for a shock and ___54___ the rats would fear both. But if they administered the drug and played only one of the sounds, the mice would only forget that one tone, while still remaining ___55___ of the other. Over time scientists have discovered specific drugs to target particular proteins across different parts of the brain.41. A. refresh B. forget C. control D. erase42.

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)Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. That’s because tigers are the largest of all cat species. Tigers are not only large, they are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. You might not think that such large, fast, and fierce creatures need help to survive, but they do.It is estimated that at the start of the 20th century, there were over 100,000 tigers living in the wild. By the turn of the century, the number of tigers outside of captivity dwindled to just over 3,000. Interestingly, the most serious threats that tigers face come from a much smaller species, one with an average weight of around 140 lbs. That species is Homo sapiens, better known as humans. Humans threaten tigers in primarily two ways: hunting and destroying habitat.Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, tiger pelts are worth around$10,000 on the black market. Though the fur would be incentive enough for most poachers, other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny. Some people in China and other Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties. Traditional Chinese medicine calls for the use of tiger bones, amongst other parts, in some prescriptions.Tigers have also been hunted as game. In other words, people hunted tigers solely for the thrill and achievement of killing them. Such killings took place in large scale during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when an English hunter might claim to kill over a hundred tigers in their hunting career. Though this practice is much less popular today than it was in the past, it has not ceased entirely.Humans have done considerable damage to the world’s ti ger population through hunting, but perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, all the way from Turkey to the eastern coast of Russia. But over the past 100 years, tigers have lost 93% of their historic range. Instead of spanning all the way across Asia, the tiger population is now isolated in small pockets in southern and southeastern Asia. This is because humans have drastically changed the environments. Humans have built towns and cities. Road and transit systems were created to connect these towns and cities. To feed the people living in these areas, forests and fields have been cleared to create farmland.A major obstacle to preserving tigers is the enormous amount of territory that each tiger requires. Each wild tiger demands between 200 and 300 square miles. Tigers are also both territorial and solitary animals. This means that they are protective of the areas that they claim and they generally do not share with other tigers. Because tigers need so much territory, it is really difficult for conservationists to acquire enough land to support a large population of tigers.56. Which of the following is NOT a reason in the article explaining why tigers are hunted?A. Because tiger skins are worth a lot of money.B. Because tiger parts are used as medicines in some cultures.C. Because some tigers attack local villages.D. Because tigers are hunted for enjoyment by some people.57. The underlined word “incentive” in the third paragraph pro bably means ________.A. attractiveB. innovativeC. alternativeD. respective58. Which best explains why tigers have lost so much of their habitat according to the text?A. Because tigers are under threat from other animals.B. Because tiger skins are extremely valuable.C. Because the environment has been changed.D. Because tigers need so much space to survive.59. Which of the following best describes the author’s main purpose in writing this article?A. To provide readers with interesting information about the lifestyles of tigers.B. To persuade readers to help the world’s tiger population and to offer ways to help.C. To entertain readers with stories about how tigers hunt and are hunted.D. To explain to readers why the world’s tiger populati on is endangered.(B)1.

The principle of learning by doing is widely accepted by learners.(C)The Paris climate agreement finalised in December last year indicated a new era for climate action. For the first time, the world’s nations agreed to keep global warming well below 2℃.This is vital for climate-vulnerable nations. Fewer than 4% of countries are responsible for more than half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. In a study published in Nature Scientific Reports, we reveal just how deep this injustice runs.Developed nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and European countries are essentially climate “free-riders”: causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while paying few of the costs such as climate changes impact on food and water. In other words, a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproportionately to the global burden of climate change.On the other hand, there are many “forced riders”, who are suffering from the climate change im pacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries, the majority of which are African or small island states, produce a very small quantity of emissions. This is much like a non-smoker getting cancer from second-hand smoke, while the heavy smoker is fortunate enough to smoke in good health.The Paris agreement has been widely considered as a positive step forward in addressing climate change for all, although the details on addressing “climate justice” can be best described as incomplete.The goal of keeping global temperature rise “well below” 2℃ deserves to be praised but the emissions reduction promises submitted by countries leading up to the Paris talks are very unlikely to deliver on this.More than $100 billion in funding has been put on the table for supporting developing nations to reduce emissions. However, the agreement specifies that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical emissions. There is also very little detail on who will provide the funds or, importantly, who is responsible for their provision. Securing these funds and establishing who is responsible for raising them will also be vital for the future of climate-vulnerable countries.The most climate-vulnerable countries in the world have contributed very little to creating the global disease from which they now suffer the most. There must urgently be a meaningful mobilization of the policies outlined in the agreement if we are to achieve national emissions reductions while helping the most vulnerable countries adapt to climate change.And it is clearly up to the current generation of leaders from high-emitting nations to decidewhether they want to be remembered as climate change tyrants (暴君) or pioneers.63. The author is critical of the Paris climate agreement because ________.A. it is unfair to those climate-vulnerable nationsB. it aims to keep temperature rise below 2℃ onlyC. it is beneficial to only fewer than 4% of countriesD. it burdens developed countries with the full responsibility64. Why does the author call some developed countries climate “free-riders”?A. They needn’t worry about the food and water they consume.B. They are better able to cope with the global climate change.C. They hardly pay anything for the problems they have caused.D. They are free from the greenhouse effects affecting “forced riders”.65. What does the author say about the $100 billion funding?A. It will motivate all nations to reduce carbon emissions.B. There is no final agreement on where it will come from.C. There is no clarification of how the money will be spent.D. It will effectively reduce greenhouse emissions worldwide.66. What urgent action must be taken to realize the Paris climate agreement?A. Encouraging high-emitting nations to take the initiative.B. Calling on all the nations concerned to make joint efforts.C. Pushing the current world leaders to come to a consensus.D. Putting in effect the policies in the agreement at once.Section C （8分）Directions: Read the following passage. 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.Travel the World by BikeRachel Hugens met her husband, Patrick, while bicycle touring.

Rachel is a registered nurse; Patrick is an architect. Both regained their former jobs when they returned home in 2000 and 2007. They’re uncertain what will happen this time.They’ve given themselves financial flexibility by paying off their home, commuting to work by bike and avoiding some of the bills that are important parts for most (cell phones, cable TV). They travel with a $50 daily budget.“____70____” Rachel said. “We’ve met some cyclists traveling long term on a $10 daily budget. They can travel as long as their money lasts, so they’re motivated to spend wisely.”IV. Summary Writing （10分）Directions: Read the following passage.

From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorry, S ir. Please forgive me. I’ve never done such a thing before.” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.Mr Carr’s brow furrowed (皱眉) as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“He’s been stealing from the store,” th e old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she。

A 【解析】 Mr. Jackson had to travel somewhere on business and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked to sit beside a window when he was flying. So, when he got into the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already been taken except one. There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one and Mr. Jackson was happy that he had not taken the one by the window; but, anyhow, he at once went towards it. When he reached it, however, he saw there was a notice on it. It was written in ink and said “This seat is reserved for proper load balance. Thank you.” Mr. Jackson had never seen such a notice in a plane before, but he thought that the plane must be carrying something heavy in its baggage

The number of panda __34__ in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live there. Restoring the panda’s habitat ha s given them back their space with food available to them.Apa rt from giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered” to “near th reatened”. According to a statement from IUCN, the animal's numbers have shrunk severely - dropping from around 1 million to a(n) __35__ 65,000 -- 72,500 in the 1980s and early 1990s - due to commercial poaching (偷猎).

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: 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.How to help your kids find a purpose? You don’t have to start with the really big questions. Quick, what s the meaning of life?” Many of us may not be able to answer that, but that doesn’t __41__ our kids don’t have questions or need answers.“The sense that your personal life is __42__ to you is a basis of psychological well-being,” says Michael F. Steger，director of the laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University. Not only that，it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive, more __43__, more caring, more helpful, more resilient (坚初), and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.But helping your kids find meaning doesn’t mean parents have to __44__ all life’s ancient mysteries, Steger says. The __45__ is to understand the difference between the meaning of life and the meaning in life.“We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives,” Steger says. “We can start with trying to __46__ how, today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else.”With kids in __47__ school, Steger says, “At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and that they __48__.” To start conversations along those lines, says Steger, “You can ask questions about what they think their best __49__ or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others. You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone feel better, felt __50__ for doing something, or helped someone out. All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation about your kid’s __51__ way of being in and contributing to the world.”In middle school, says St eger, “Kids are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that might be __52__ different from the ones they have always assumed were true.” So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your children’s sense of who they are, how they related to others and what life is has been __53__.By high school, according to Steger, “We hope our children see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideas about __54__.”But the question of what you want to do with your life is too big for a single conversation, says Steger. Instead, he encourages parents to have __55__, smaller conversations with their kids about how they view themselves and their lives, and what kind of impact they would like to make.41.

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 read.(A)Researchers have developed a method to activate electronic implants in the body and eliminate bacterial infections using a wireless signal. When triggered by remote technology, the device delivers heat to infected tissue. And it could lead to technologies that enable drugs andtreatment to be delivered to patients at the press of a button.The technology was developed by researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Illinois. Mice were given electronic implants that, when a signal was sent, heated up to treat tissue that was infected with staphylococcus, which can cause life-threatening infections of the blood. Tissues collected from the mice 24 hours after treatment showed no sign of the infection, while the device dissolved in 15 days, proving it can not only treat infections but also be disposed of easily.The research, which also eliminated E. coli bacteria, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Each device, made of silk and magnesium (镁元素)，harmlessly dissolved in the animals after the tests. The heating device in the implants has a resistor and power-receiving coil made of magnesium, and the magnesium is wrapped in ‘packet’of silk, keeping it safe and controlling its dissolution time. The ability of the device to dissolve is important, as it means such implants would not need to be removed. Implantable medical devices normally use non-degradable materials that have limited operational lifetimes and must eventually be removed or replaced. But these new wireless therapy devices can handle the surgical process, and can then dissolve in minutes or weeks, depending on the time needed."This is an important demonstration step forward for the development of on-demand medial devices that can be turned on remotely to perform a therapeutic function in a patient and then safely disappear after their use, requiring no retrieval,”said senior author Fiorenzo Omenetto, professor of biomedical engineering at Tufts School of Engineering. “These wireless strategies could help manage post-surgical infection, for example, or pave the way for eventual Wi-Fi drug delivery.”56. What is special function about the new discovery?A. It can favourably be used while-treatment stage of a disease.B. The device has offered drugs at the press of a button.C. Implantable devices often use materials that have limited operational lifetimes.D. The implant can be controlled to treat infection and will dissolve later in the body.57.Staphylococcus is most probably _______.A. a virus which can cost a person his lifeB. a therapy which can make a person’s life longerC. a device which can cure a person’s diseaseD. a process which can lead to the infection of a virus58.We can infer from the passage that _______.A. Wi-Fi promises a new way of treatmentB. research brings about new discoveriesC. technology offers new opportunitiesD. medicine requires persistent efforts(B)Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are shared among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad (无数）of services, including labor, professional transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationship of all those prices makes up the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of arbitrarily individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction (交易). This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount but the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, and the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that make up of the total “package” b eing exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.59. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _______.A. Labor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. Utilities and repairsD. products and services60.All the following are the factors in the complete understanding of price except _______.A. instructions that come with a productB. the quantity of a productC. the quality of a productD. guarantees that cover a product61. In the last line of the passage, the word “they” refers to _______.A. Return privilegesB. guarantees on the product or serviceC. Buyers and sellerD. delivery and credit terms62. The paragraph following this passage will most likely discuss _______.A. unusual ways to evaluate prices of productsB. types of payment plans for product and serviceC. theories about how products affect different levels of societyD. how certain elements of price “package” influence its market value(C)There will eventually come a day when the New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. “Sometime in the future,” the paper’s publisher said back in 2010.Nostalgia (怀旧) for ink on paper, there are plenty of reasons to abandon print. The infrastructure (基础设施) required to make a physical newspaper -- printing presses, delivery trucks -- isn’t just expensive; it’s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don’t have the same set of financial restr ictions. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though print ad sales still overshadow their online and mobile counterparts, revenue (收入) from print is still declining.Cost may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.Peretti says the Times shouldn’t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. “Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them,” he said, ‘‘but if you discontinue it, you’re going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you.”Sometimes that’s worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming (流媒体). “It was seen as a mistake,” he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. “If I were in charge at the Times, I wouldn’t pick a year to end print,” Peretti said “I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product.”The most loya l customers would still get the product they favour, the idea goes, and they’d feel like that they were helping maintain the quality of something they believe in. “So if you’re overpaying for print, you could feel like that you were helping,” Peretti said.“Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue.” In other words, if you’re going to print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it, which may be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year -- more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription.“It’s a really hard thing to do and it’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn’t have a legacy business," Peretti remarked. “But we’re going to have questions like that w here we have things we're doing that don't make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it's better to bemore aggressive than less aggressive.63. The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to _______.A. the high cost of operationB. the pressure from its investorsC. the complaints from its readersD. the increasing online ad sales64. Peretti suggests that in face of the present situation the Times should _______.A. seek new sources of readershipB. end the print edition for goodC. aim for efficient managementD. strategic adjustments65.Peretti believes that in a changing world _______.A. legacy businesses are becoming outdatedB. cautiousness helps problem-solvingC. traditional luxuries can stay unaffectedD. aggressiveness better meets challenge66.Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A.Shift to Online Newspapers All At Once.B.Cherish the Newspapers Still in Your Hand.C. Make Your Print Newspapers a Luxury Good.D. Keep Your Newspapers Forever m Fashion.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given m the box. EachIt is found that American students spend less than 15% of their time in school. 67 _______. A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement -- checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home -- has a more powerful influence on students, academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, published in the Review of Economics and Statistics, reports that the effort put forth by parents reading stories aloud, is devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.68 _______. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, don’t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an advantage. They don’tneed to drive their offspring to enrichment classes or test-preparation courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.But not just any talk. 69 _______. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics founds that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as powerful in promoting language development as the ones in which the adult did all the talking. Engaging in this reciprocal(双向的) back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thought and opinions matter.The content of parents’ conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, report researchers from the University of Chicago. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called “academic socialization” -- setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals. 70 _______.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Now another American education icon may be disappearing: the hardbound textbook. More and more school districts are replacing traditional textbooks with electronic ones. Electronic textbooks are usually accessed either through an online server or are downloaded to student laptops.In North Texas, Plano and Irving schools are introducing e-books into a few classrooms, and Lancaster school officials also are considering them. But no local district appears to be going as far as Forney. The district most likely would be the first in the state to use e-books in every classroom for grades five to twelve.Officials point out several reasons for turning to e-books. For one, they are easier to update. Thus the publishers are able to find ways to do online textbooks and they can go back and change information. Using e-books will better prepare students for college and the workplace.Rapid district growth is another reason. The number of the students in the district is expected to double within five years. It’s difficult to know textbook needs in advance and some students wait months for their books. But e-books can be uploaded onto a “blank” laptop in a few hours.Cost may eventually be a deciding cause for choosing e-books, but here are no big savings yet. Even if they get it electronically, they still have to pay for the book because they’re buying the instructional material. That may change as more and more districts move towards e-books.Today’s students have little trouble adjusting to laptops and e-books, said Connie Cooley, who has taught at the Academy of Irving ISD for five years. But she said it could worry teachers.“It’s harder for people who are right around my age and older.”said Ms. Cooley, 36. “I’m laptop-savvy, so I was ready for it, but those that aren’t are a little worrying.V.

Reading Comprehension(47%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, Cand D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybe we have our father’s eyes or our grandmother’s hair color – __51__ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by __52__ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mother’s love of cleaning or our dad’s sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we __53__ work.The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work. First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who __54__ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They __55__ to clocking out（打卡下班）every day and pursuing fun activities __56__ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. __57__, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible __58__ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job.Second, there are career-oriented（追求事业型的）people who see their job as a place to find __59__ and gain a sense of __60__. These are the people who don’t __61__ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they become workaholics! They are more comfortable in the office than at home.

Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little __62__.Third, there are calling-oriented workers –folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) __63__ impact upon the world. They are more __64__ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put __65__ first and career success second.The good news is – we still have choice. Whether we share our parents’ views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us.51. A. medical B. physical C. biological D. mental52.

They are eating pizza, chicken wings and chips and cheering every move. They’re watching the Super Bowl.Why are Americans so crazy about American football? Well, it is more exciting than other sports. One team can lose possession of the ball in a minute, which may allow their opponents to make a touchdown(触地得分). Then that team may win the game unexpectedly.The Super Bowl also entertains its audience with a great halftime show. The football field is turned into a stage. Then an impressive performance of dancing and singing with special effects occurs.Since the Super Bowl is the most-watched TV program in America, commercial airtime is also very expensive.

The best players from all the teams play in this game.Baseball is no doubt American’s national sport. From grandpas to young kids, whole families go to ball games together. They wear their favorite team’s caps or even carry their mascot(吉祥物). Our family went to watch Wang Chien-Ming play in D.C. once. We ate hot dogs, waved flags and sang during the 7th inning(棒球的一局) stretch.If you are not a sports fan yet, come and pick a sport or a team.

With all this coming and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Not a bit of it! Superb systems of communication by air, sea and land make it possible for us to visit each other ’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the ‘grand tour ’, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody ’s grasp? The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy a level of comfort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. But what ’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other?Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out to protect their clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a cosseted, sheltered life. He lives at international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourist to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The summer quarters of the inhabitants of the cite universitaire: are temporarily reestablished on the island of Corfu. Blackpool is recreated at Torremolinos where the traveler goes not to eat paella, but fish and chips.The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of thepeoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You come away with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, ‘Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites’of that ‘Latin peoples shout a lot ’. You only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are. But how can you make foreign friends when the tourist trade does its best to prevent you?Carried to an extreme, stereotypes can be positively dangerous. Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact—how trite it sounds! –That all people are human. We are all similar to each other and at the same time all unique.74.The passage mainly wants to tell us________A.tourism contributes nothing to increasing understanding between nations.B.Tourism is tiresome.C.Conducted tour is dull.D. tourism really does something to one’s country.75.What is the author's attitude toward tourism?A.apprehensive.B.negative.C.critical.D. appreciative.76.The word”cosseted” (para 2 line 3) probably means_____A.over-protectedB.variedC.limitedD.luxurious77.What is ‘grand tour’now?A. moderate cost.B. local sight-seeing is investigated by the tourist organization.C.people enjoy the first-rate comforts.D.everybody can enjoy the ‘grand tour’.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Yes, but what did we use to do before there was television? How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn’t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never fond it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do –anything, providing it doesn’t interfere with the programme. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he is quickly silenced.Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is a universal pacifier. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. It doesn’t matter that the children will watch rubbishy commercials or spectacles of sadism and violence –so long as theyare quiet.There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programmes, the whole world becomes a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate communities. We become utterly dependent on the two most primitive media of communication: pictures and the spoken word.Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with second-hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be s splendid medium of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other. We only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny of King Telly.78.What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet?__________________________________________________________________________79.what’s the author’s suggestion to forget TV?_________________________________________80.&81Please smmerize at least two harms of TV80.____________________________________________________________________________81.____________________________________________________________________________第II卷I.

The number of panda __34__ in China has also jumped to 67, from 13 in 1992. Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live there. Restoring the panda‟s habitat ha s given them back their space with food available to them.Apa rt from giant pandas, the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from “endangered” to “near th reatened”.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: 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.How to help your kids find a purpose? You don‟t have to start with the really big questions. Quick, what s the meaning of life?” Many of us may not be able to answer that, but that doesn‟t __41__ our kids don‟t have questions or need answers.“The sense that your per sonal life is __42__ to you is a basis of psychological well-being,” says Michael F. Steger，director of the laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University. Not only that，it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive, more __43__, more caring, more helpful, more resilient (坚初), and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.But helping your kids find meaning doesn‟t mean parents have to __44__ all life‟s ancient mysteries, Steger says. The __45__ is to understand the difference between the meaning of life andthe meaning in life.“We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives,” Steger says. “We can start with trying to __46__ how, today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else.”With kids in __47__ school, Steger says, “At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and that they __48__.”To start conversations along those lines, says Steger, “You can ask questions about what they think their best __49__ or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others. You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone feel better, felt __50__ for doing something, or helped someone out. All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation about your kid‟s __51__ way of being in and contributing to the world.”In middle school, says Steger, “Kid s are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that might be __52__ different from the ones they have always assumed were true.” So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your children‟s sense of who they are, how they related to others and what life is has been __53__.By high school, according to Steger, “We hope our children see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideas about __54__.”But the question of what you want to do with your life is too big for a single conversation, says Steger. Instead, he encourages parents to have __55__, smaller conversations with their kids about how they view themselves and their lives, and what kind of impact they would like to make.41. A. intend B. mean C. remain D. hope42. A. significant B. decisive C. meaningful D. useful43. A. confident B. cautious C. intelligent D. special44. A. discover B. present C. memorize D. solve45.

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 read.(A)Researchers have developed a method to activate electronic implants in the body and eliminate bacterial infections using a wireless signal. When triggered by remote technology, the device delivers heat to infected tissue. And it could lead to technologies that enable drugs and treatment to be delivered to patients at the press of a button.The technology was developed by researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Illinois. Mice were given electronic implants that, when a signal was sent, heated up to treat tissue that was infected with staphylococcus, which can cause life-threatening infections of the blood. Tissues collected from the mice 24 hours after treatment showed no sign of the infection, while the device dissolved in 15 days, proving it can not only treat infections but also be disposed of easily.The research, which also eliminated E. coli bacteria, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Each device, made of silk and magnesium (镁元素)，harmlessly dissolved in the animals after the tests. The heating device in the implants has a resistor and power-receiving coil made of magnesium, and the magnesium is wrapped in …packet‟of silk, keeping it safe and controlling its dissolution time. The ability of the device to dissolve is important, as it means such implants would not need to be removed. Implantable medical devices normally use non-degradable materials that have limited operational lifetimes and must eventually be removed or replaced. But these new wireless therapy devices can handle the surgical process, and can then dissolve in minutes or weeks, depending on the time needed."This is an important demonstration step forward for the development of on-demand medial devices that can be turned on remotely to perform a therapeutic function in a patient and then safely disappear after their use, requiring no retrieval,” said senior author Fiorenzo Omenetto, professor of biomedic al engineering at Tufts School of Engineering. “These wireles s strategies could help manage post-surgical infection, for example, or pave the way for eventual Wi-Fi drug delivery.”56. What is special function about the new discovery?A. It can favourably be used while-treatment stage of a disease.B. The device has offered drugs at the press of a button.C. Implantable devices often use materials that have limited operational lifetimes.D. The implant can be controlled to treat infection and will dissolve later in the body.57.Staphylococcus is most probably _______.A. a virus which can cost a person his lifeB. a therapy which can make a person‟s life longerC. a device which can cure a person‟s diseaseD. a process which can lead to the infection of a virus58.We can infer from the passage that _______.A. Wi-Fi promises a new way of treatmentB. research brings about new discoveriesC. technology offers new opportunitiesD. medicine requires persistent efforts(B)Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are shared among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad (无数）of services, including labor, professional transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationship of all those prices makes up the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of arbitrarily individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction (交易). This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount but the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, and the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that make up of the total “package” bein g exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.59. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _______.A. Labor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. Utilities and repairsD. products and services60.All the following are the factors in the complete understanding of price except _______.A. instructions that come with a productB. the quantity of a productC. the quality of a productD. guarantees that cover a product61. In the last line of the passage, the word “they” refers to _______.A. Return privilegesB. guarantees on the product or serviceC. Buyers and sellerD. delivery and credit terms62. The paragraph following this passage will most likely discuss _______.A. unusual ways to evaluate prices of productsB. types of payment plans for product and serviceC. theories about how products affect different levels of societyD. how certain elements of price “package” influence its market value(C)There will eventually come a day when the New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. “Sometime in the future,” the paper‟s publisher said back in 2010.Nostalgia(怀旧) for ink on paper, there are plenty of reasons to abandon print. The infrastructure(基础设施) required to make a physical newspaper -- printing presses, delivery trucks -- isn‟t just expensive; it‟s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don‟t have the same set of financial restrictions. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though print ad sales still overshadow their online and mobile counterparts, revenue(收入) from print is still declining.Cost may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.Peretti says the Times shouldn‟t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. “Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them,” he said, ……but if you discontinue it, you‟re going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you.”Sometimes that‟s worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming (流媒体). “It was seen as a mistake,” he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. “If I were in charge at the Times, I wouldn‟t pick a year to end print,” Peretti said “I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product.”The most loyal c ustomers would still get the product they favour, the idea goes, and they‟d feel like that they were helping maintain the quality of something they believe in. “So if you‟re overpaying for print, you could feel like that you were helping,” Peretti said. “T hen increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue.” In other words, if you‟re going to print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it, which may be whatthe Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year -- more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription.“It‟s a really hard thing to do and it‟s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn‟t have a legacy business," Peretti remarked. “But we‟r e going to have questions like that where we have things we're doing that don't make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it's better to be more aggressive than less aggressive.63. The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to _______.A. the high cost of operationB. the pressure from its investorsC. the complaints from its readersD. the increasing online ad sales64. Peretti suggests that in face of the present situation the Times should _______.A. seek new sources of readershipB. end the print edition for goodC. aim for efficient managementD. strategic adjustments65.Peretti believes that in a changing world _______.A. legacy businesses are becoming outdatedB. cautiousness helps problem-solvingC. traditional luxuries can stay unaffectedD. aggressiveness better meets challenge66.Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A.Shift to Online Newspapers All At Once.B.Cherish the Newspapers Still in Your Hand.C. Make Your Print Newspapers a Luxury Good.D. Keep Your Newspapers Forever m Fashion.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given m the box.It is found that American students spend less than 15% of their time in school. 67 _______. Astudy published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement -- checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home -- has a more powerful influence on students, academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, published in the Review of Economics and Statistics, reports that the effort put forth by parents reading stories aloud, is devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.68 _______. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, don‟t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an advantage. They do n‟t need to drive their offspring to enrichment classes or test-preparation courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.But not just any talk. 69 _______. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics founds that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as powerful in promoting language development as the ones in which the adult did all the talking. Engaging in this reciprocal(双向的) back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thought and opinions matter.The content of parents‟conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, report researchers from the University of Chicago. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called “academic socialization”-- setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals. 70 _______.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Now another American education icon may be disappearing: the hardbound textbook. More and more school districts are replacing traditional textbooks with electronic ones. Electronic textbooks are usually accessed either through an online server or are downloaded to student laptops.In North Texas, Plano and Irving schools are introducing e-books into a few classrooms, and Lancaster school officials also are considering them. But no local district appears to be going as faras Forney. The district most likely would be the first in the state to use e-books in every classroom for grades five to twelve.Officials point out several reasons for turning to e-books. For one, they are easier to update. Thus the publishers are able to find ways to do online textbooks and they can go back and change information. Using e-books will better prepare students for college and the workplace.Rapid district growth is another reason. The number of the students in the district is expected to double within five years. It‟s difficult to know textbook needs in advance and some students wait months for their books. But e-books can be uploaded onto a “blank” laptop in a few hours.Cost may eventually be a deciding cause for choosing e-books, but here are no big savings yet. Even if they get it electronically, they still have to pay for the book because they‟re buying the instructional material. That may change as more and more districts move towards e-books.Today‟s students have little trouble adjusting to laptops and e-books, said Connie Cooley, who has taught at the Academy of Irving ISD for five years. But she said it could worry teachers.“It‟s harder for people who are right around my age and older.”said Ms. Cooley, 36. “I‟m laptop-savvy, so I was ready for it, but those that aren‟t are a little worrying.V.

The 41 gallery was opened by Charles Saatchi, a British art collector famous for founding the Saatchi and Saatchi advertising agency with his brother. It moved from its old 42 in St. John’s Wood to its new home in County Hall near the Thames in the spring of 2003.Anyone who has heard reports in the past of the often shocking but always thought-provoking (激发) works on 43 at the Saatchi Gallery will not be disappointed when visiting the gallery’s new location. Along with the exhibits of new British artists, the gallery still includes the works of Damien Hirst, the Chapman brothers, and Tracy Emin in its permanent 44 .Of the artworks, one can see in the Saatchi Gallery, Hirst’s works are probably the most well-known. Hirst’s work first made headlines in the early 1990s when he 45 art fromdead animals.Along with Hirst, the Chapman brothers, Dinos and Jake, also owe a certain amount of their fame to the Saatchi Gallery.It was through Saatchi that these two brothers came to 46 attention. At the gallery, visitors can see the brothers’vision of Hell, made from 30, 000 plastic toy soldiers.Another artist 47 at the gallery who has grabbed headlines with her art is Tracy Emin. In 1998, Emin gave rise to argument when she sold her 48 , unmade bed to Saatchi as a work of art titled My Bed at ￡150, 000.Are any of these works really art? That is a question you will have to answer for yourself when you visit the Saatchi Gallery. Charles Saatchi himself says, “I don’t have any ground rules for 49 art. Sometimes you look and don’t feel very comfortable with it—but that doesn't tell you very much. It doesn't ____50____ reveal much about the quality of the work.”III.

This passage is written for __________.A. parentsB. childrenC. the salesmanD. the boss(C)Against the supposition that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where burnt trees allow more snow to mirror more sunlight into space.This finding suggests that taking steps to prevent northern forest to limit the release of greenhouse gases may warm the climate in northern regions. Usually large fires destroyed forests in these areas over the past decade. Scientists predict that with climate warming, fires may occur more frequently over next several centuries as a result of a longer fire season. Sunlight taken in by the earth tends to cause warming, while heat mirrored back into space tends to cause cooling.This is the first study to analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climate. Earlier studies by other scientists have suggested that fire in northern regions speed up climate warming because greenhouse gases from burning trees and plants are released into the atmosphere and thus trap heat.Scientists found that right after the fire, large amounts of greenhouse gases entered the atmosphere and caused warming. Ozone（臭氧）levels increased, and ash from the fire fell on far-off sea ice, darkening the surface and causing moreradiation from the sun to be taken in. The following spring, however, the land within the area of the fire was brighter than before the fire, because fewer trees covered the ground. Snow on the ground mirrored more sunlight back into space, leading to cooling.“We need to find out all possible ways to reduce the growth of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.” Scientists tracked the change in amount of radiation entering and leaving the climate system as a result of the fire, and found a measurement closely related to the global air temperature. Typically, fire in northern regions occurs in the same area every 80 to 150 years. Scientists, however, found that when fire occurs more frequently, more radiation is lost from the earth and cooling results. Specifically, they determined when fire returns 20 years earlier than predicated, 0.5 watts per square meter of area burned are soaked up by the earth from greenhouse gases, but 0.9 watts per square meter will be sent back into space. The net effect is cooling. Watts are used to measure the rate at which energy is gained or lost from the earth.73. According to the new findings, taking steps to prevent northern forest fires may _______.A. result in a warming climateB. cause the forest fires to occur more frequentlyC. lead to a longer fire seasonD. protect the forests and the environment there74. Earlier studies about northern forest fires _________.A. analyze all aspects of how northern fires influence climateB. indicate that forest fires will pollute the atmosphereC. suggest that people should take measures to protect environmentD. suggest that the fires will speed up climate warming75. The underlined phrase “soak up” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.A. releasedB. absorbedC. createdD. disturbed76.From the passage we can draw a conclusion that forestfires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia may __________.A. warm the climate as the supposition goesB. allow more snow to reflect more sunlight into space and thus cool the climateC. destroy large areas of forests and pollute the far-off sea iceD. help to gain more energy rather than release more energy(D)Is Positive Thinking Powerful?The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed”. But was the positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply stress how unhappy they are. The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by using older research showing that when people get feedback (反馈) which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your friend who is not very clever that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In the 1990s, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton conducted an experiment. The participants were asked to write essays opposing financial support for thedisabled, expressing little sympathy for them. When these participants were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-respect. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.” Those with low self-respect didn’t feel better after the forced self-approval. In fact, their feelings turned significantly worse than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.The study provides support for newer forms for psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, on the contrary, can teach people to realize their shortcomings from a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.77. What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?A. There can be no simple solutions to psychologicalproblems.B. Encouraging positive thinking may do harm to people.C. The power of positive thinking is limited.D. Unhappy people cannot think positively.78. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. you are pointing out the mistakes he has madeB. you are not taking his mistakes seriously enoughC. you are stressing the fact that he is not intelligentD. you are not trying to make him feel better about his faults79. What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?A. Self-approval can bring a positive change to one’sfeelings.B. People with low self-respect seldom write down their truefeelings.C. It is important for people to continually improve theirself-respect.D. Forcing people to think positive thoughts may lower theirself-respect.80. It can be learned from the last paragraph that ______.A. people can avoid making mistakes through meditationB. different people tend to have different ways of thinkingC. meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapyD. the effects of positive thinking differ from person toperson(E)Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.An addiction（瘾）is an activity or substance we are eager to experience repeatedly, and for which we are willing if necessary to pay a price. Common addictions involve alcohol, cigarettes, food, drugs, gambling, etc. This article discusses the concepts which can be helpful in coping with addictive behavior.Relatively minor addictions, such as watching too much television, or lying in bed on weekend mornings, are often not even considered addictions, because the price paid for engaging in them is not high. On the other hand, we tend to use the term “addict” to describe the person who, at least in the eyes of others, continues to be addicted in a behaviorlong after it has become clear that the substantial price being paid was not worth the benefit. The individual who has lost career, house, family and friends because of cocaine (可卡因) use, but is unwilling to consider stopping is an unfortunate example.Negative addictions range from those with very minor negative consequences, to those as serious as the cocaine addict just mentioned, with much area in between. Although it is not necessarily true that a negative addiction grows stronger over time, yet a constant level of addictive behavior (e.g., overspending $ 200 a week ) can lead to an increasing level of negative consequences.You may be surprised to learn that addictions can also be considered positive. Positive addictions are those in which the benefits outweigh the price. A common example would be the habit of regular exercise. The price of membership in a gym, the time involved and any clothing expense is outweighed by the benefits of better health, energy, self-confidence and appearance. As with negative addictions, positive addictions may not get stronger over time, and there is a broad range of how much benefit is actually obtained.What is common to both positive and negative addictions isthe urge to engage in the addictive behavior, and the satisfaction that is felt when the urge is acted upon. The urge is a state of tension and expectation that is experienced uncomfortably as a desire for the substance or activity. Because we experience relief when the urge is acted upon, there is an increased likelihood that we will act on the urge again.81. What does the passage mainly talk about?_______________________________________________.82.We use the term “addict” to describe a person when he or she goes on _______________eventhough he or she knows it is not worthwhile.83. Why is exercising in the gym considered to be a positive addiction?_______________________________________________.84. How do people feel when the urge is acted on?_______________________________________________.(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷（47分）I.

ForStarbucks, the brand had three elements: coffee, 41 and stores. Strictbeans 42 that the coffee would quality and processing of the control over thebe of the highest possible quality. Outstanding store personnel were employed andtrained in coffee knowledge and 43 service. Store design, atmosphere and aroma(浓香) all 44 the “Starbucks Experience”.Almost all Starbucks stores were corporately owned and controlled. Starbucksprided itself on the “Starbucks Experience”, 45 coffee to provide a uniqueexperience for its customers.46 those traditional coffee houses providing you with the grab-and-goservice, Starbucks provides you with more than coffee. You get great people,first-rate music, a comfortable and upbeat meeting place, and 47 advice onbrewing excellent coffee at home. At home you're part of a family. At work you're part of a company. And somewhere in between is a place where you can sit backand be yourself. That's what a Starbucks store has been 48 to creating forits customers —a kind of “third place”where they can 49 , reflect, read,chat or listen.The green Starbucks logo is a mermaid that looks like the end of the double imageof the sea. It was designed by Terry Heckler, who got the 50 from the woodenstatue of the sea. Mermaid logo also 51 original and modern meanings: her faceis very simple, but with modern abstract forms of packaging; the middle is blackand white, the only color on the outside surrounded by a circle.Starbucks makes the typical American culture gradually broken down into elementsof 52 : the visual warmth, hearing the way, smelling the aroma of coffee and soon. Just think, through the huge glass windows, watching the crowded streets, 53sipping a coffee flavor, which is in line with the “Yapi”, the feeling of experiencein the 54 life.实用文档But the 55 of Starbucks is not about the coffee, although it's great coffee.

One in ten fathers —the same ratios as mothers —are found to suffer beforeor after birth. By the time their child reaches 12 weeks, as many as one in fourare feeling down.The symptoms observed in the American study are not thought to be hormonal —as they are in women —and are instead probably a response to the pressures of fatherhood. These include the expense of having children, changed relationship with partners and fear of paternal (父亲的) responsibility. In the early weeks, the lacktake the toll.of sleep and extra domestic chores alsoThe study put the overall rate of depression among new fathers at 10.4 percent—double the estimated 4.8 percent for all men in any 12-month period. Around 8percent were affected in the 12 weeks before and after birth, according to the Eastern Virginia Medical School Research. The study found parents were more likely to bedown if their partner was too.It is estimated that around one in ten women suffers postnatal depression, evenif they have never had mental health problems. Without treatment the condition canlast for months. Although most women have a few days of “Baby Blues”shortly after birth, postnatal depression can kick in up to six months later. Experts say thatpaternal depression is serious because it can have “substantial emotional,behavioural and developmental”effects on children.56.

This year, the queues in front of the doors of “Wanghong delicacies”were so dense that a cup of tea has been hyped to over 80 Yuan by scalpers (黄牛) and local bloggers even customized a one-day tourto eat in Shanghai.To a great extent, Wanghong phenomenon depends on merchants' business strategy.______67______. Business also works on publicity. Before HEEKCAA's arrival in Shanghai, it has advertised through microblog, local life service and otherself-media, which has generated a certain amount of heat among the public. Once people 实用文档make the purchase, the “sense of accomplishment”will urge some of them to show off at their Wechat moments, which is good for brand image. Also, when a productis quickly recognized by consumers, capitals will come in great numbers. The boostof capitals undoubtedly helps the subsequent publicity of the brand.______68______. In the Internet era, the spread of information is so fast thatit doesn't matter whether the tea tastes good or bad; it's just a matter of whetheryou ever drink it. There is a word for this behavior —“fomo”, which means fearof missing out. Oxford University professor said this is not new. As social animals, humans have a strong desire to be part of a group, to be accepted, recognized, valued and remembered. A little baby cries for a hug and a child makes small trouble toget noticed. These behaviors are, in the eyes of sociologists, anxious for existence.It's just that social media today that make it easier for people to perceive otherpeople's lives, and have a sense of loss not to join them when they know what others are doing.10-20 Yuan is the exchange value of milk tea, but it's the symbol value of thegoods that encourages people to “pull the grass”. Just like the lipstick, mailboxand graffiti wall that have been on the list of Wanghong, people want to use relatively controllable spending to gain satisfaction from a moments' thumb up. ______69______. With the development of society, consumers are not just buying a product butits brand culture and quality of life, so the appearance of light consuming isinevitable. However, “Wanghong economy”is always short-lived because this consumer group is changeable in affection. Consumers who come by “physical attractiveness”will quickly vanish if there is no implicit value or connotation to support.______70______. Besides, consumers should make rational consumption instead of just following the trend.IV. Summary Writing （10分）Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) Directions:of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out hishands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do youfeel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggarsbe? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It mustbe terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruelnot to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world's great religions order us to be open hearted andshare what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a fewpeople will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.实用文档First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiableand actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages thissort of evil. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spenton beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excusefor begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense ofpride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by thegovernment rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to thelocal government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we mustdeal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and evenif the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.V.

You don't have to start with the really big questions. Quick, what s the meaning of life? Many of us may not be able to answer that, but thatdoesn't1our kids don't have questions or need answers."The sense that your personal life is2to you is a basis of psychological well-being, " says Michael F. Steger, director of the laboratory for Meaning and Quality of Life at Colorado State University. Not only that, it is tightly tied to being happier, more positive,more3, more caring, more helpful, more resilient （坚韧）, and more satisfied in your life, relationships, and work.But helping your kids find meaning doesn't mean parents have to4all life's ancient mysteries, Steger says. The5is to understand the difference between the meaning of life and the meaning in life."We do not have to start with the biggest and most troubling questions about our lives, " Steger says. "We can start with trying to6how, today, right now, we are going to do one thing that makes the story of our lives more positive, or makes a positive difference to someone else."With kids in7school, Steger says, "At the most basic level, our best hopes for our children are that they feel their lives matter and thatthey8." To start conversations along those lines, says Steger, "You can ask questions about what they think their best9or strengths are, whether they have good relationships with other people, whether they care about others. You can ask them about times when they have made a difference, made someone feel better, felt10for doingsomething, or helped someone out. All of these kinds of questions can start a conversation about yourkid's11way of being in and contributing to the world."In middle school, says Steger, "Kids are being exposed to ideas, behaviors, assumptions, and priorities that might be12different from the ones they have always assumed were true." So for kids this age, parents can start conversations focusing on how your children's sense of who they are, how they related to others and what life is has been13.By high school, according to Steger, "We hope our children see how much their lives matter, see that they are at the beginning of an exciting and strengthening life story, and have some slight ideasabout14."

When triggered by remote technology, the device delivers heat to infected tissue. And it could lead to technologies that enable drugs and treatment to be delivered to patients at the press of a button.The technology was developed by researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts and the University of Illinois. Mice were given electronic implants that, when a signal was sent, heated up to treat tissue that was infected with staphylococcus, which can cause life-threatening infections of the blood. Tissues collected from the mice 24 hours after treatment showed no sign of the infection, while the device dissolved in 15 days, proving it can not only treat infections but also be disposed of easily.The research, which also eliminated E. coli bacteria, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Each device, made of silk and magnesium （镁元素）, harmlessly dissolved in the animals after the tests. The heating device in the implants has a resistor and power-receiving coil made of magnesium, and the magnesium is wrapped in 'packet'of silk, keeping it safe and controlling its dissolution time. The ability of the device to dissolve is important, as it means such implants would not need to be removed. Implantable medical devices normally use non-degradable materials that have limited operational lifetimes and must eventually be removed or replaced. But these new wireless therapy devices can handle the surgical process, and can then dissolve in minutes or weeks, depending on the time needed."This is an important demonstration step forward for the development of on-demand medial devices that can be turned on remotely to perform a therapeutic function in a patient and then safely disappear after their use, requiring no retrieval,"said senior author Fiorenzo Omenetto, professor of biomedical engineering at Tufts School of Engineering. "These wireless strategies could help manage post-surgical infection, for example, or pave the way for eventual Wi-Fi drug delivery."(1) What is special function about the new discovery?A. It can favourably be used while-treatment stage of a disease.B. The device has offered drugs at the press of a button.C. Implantable devices often use materials that have limited operational lifetimes.D. The implant can be controlled to treat infection and will dissolve later in the body.(2) Staphylococcus is most probably.A. a virus which can cost a person his lifeB. a therapy which can make a person's life longerC. a device which can cure a person's diseaseD. a process which can lead to the infection of a virus(3) We can infer from the passage that.A.

They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are shared among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad（无数）of services, including labor, professional transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationship of all those prices makes up the "system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of arbitrarily individuals to define "price" , many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction（交易）. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount but the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the formof money to be used, and the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that make up of the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.(1) According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to.A. labor and educationB. transportation and insuranceC. utilities and repairsD. products and services(2) All the following are the factors in the complete understanding of priceexcept.A. instructions that come with a productB. the quantity of a productC. the quality of a productD. guarantees that cover a product(3) In the last line of the passage, the word "they" refers to.A. return privilegesB. guarantees on the product or serviceC. buyers and sellerD. delivery and credit terms(4) The paragraph following this passage will most likely discuss.A. unusual ways to evaluate prices of productsB. types of payment plans for product and serviceC. theories about how products affect different levels of societyD. how certain elements of price "package" influence its market value6、【来源】 2017年上海松江区高三一模第63~66题8分（C）There will eventually come a day when the New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. "Sometime in the future," the paper's publisher said back in 2010.Nostalgia（怀旧）for ink on paper, there are plenty of reasons to abandon print. The infrastructure （基础设施）required to make a physical newspaper -- printing presses, delivery trucks -- isn't just expensive; it's excessive at a time when online-only competitors don't have the same set of financialrestrictions. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though print ad sales still overshadow their online and mobile counterparts, revenue（收入）from print is still declining.Cost may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.Peretti says the Times shouldn't waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. "Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them," he said, ''but if you discontinue it, you're going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you."Sometimes that's worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming（流媒体）. "It was seen as a mistake," he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. "If I were in charge at the Times, I wouldn't pick a year to end print," Peretti said "I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product."The most loyal customers would still get the product they favour, the idea goes, and they'd feel like that they were helping maintain the quality of something they believe in. "So if you're overpaying for print, you could feel like that you were helping," Peretti said. "Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue." In other words, if you're going to print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it, which may be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year -- more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription."It's a really hard thing to do and it's a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn't have a legacy business," Peretti remarked. "But we're going to have questions like that where we have things we're doing that don't make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it's better to be more aggressive than less aggressive.(1) The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to.A. the high cost of operationB. the pressure from its investorsC. the complaints from its readersD. the increasing online ad sales(2) Peretti suggests that in face of the present situation the Times should.A. seek new sources of readershipB. end the print edition for goodC. aim for efficient managementD. strategic adjustments(3) Peretti believes that in a changing world.A. legacy businesses are becoming outdatedB. cautiousness helps problem-solvingC. traditional luxuries can stay unaffectedD. aggressiveness better meets challenge(4) Which of the following would be the best title of the text?A.

A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement -- checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home -- has a more powerful influence on students, academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study, published in the Review of Economics and Statistics, reports that the effort put forth by parents reading stories aloud, is devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1,000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.2. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, don't need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an advantage. They don't need to drive their offspring to enrichment classes or test-preparation courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.But not just any talk.3. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics founds that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as powerful in promoting language development as the ones in whichthe adult did all the talking. Engaging in this reciprocal （双向的） back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thought and opinions matter.The content of parents'conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, report researchers from the University of Chicago. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called "academic socialization" -- setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals.4.A. Parental involvement makes up for what schools are not able to do.B. They have a wide range of activities after school.C. Talking with children is a very simple task.D. A number of recent studies remind us that parents are even more important than schools.E. Engaging in these sorts of conversations has a greater impact on educational accomplishment.F.

The district most likely would be the first in the state to use e-books in every classroom for grades five to twelve.Officials point out several reasons for turning to e-books. For one, they are easier to update. Thus the publishers are able to find ways to do online textbooks and they can go back and change information. Using e-books will better prepare students for college and the workplace.Rapid district growth is another reason. The number of the students in the district is expected to double within five years. It's difficult to know textbook needs in advance and some students wait months for their books. But e-books can be uploaded onto a "blank" laptop in a few hours.Cost may eventually be a deciding cause for choosing e-books, but here are no big savings yet. Even if they get it electronically, they still have to pay for the book because they're buying the instructional material. That may change as more and more districts move towards e-books.Today's students have little trouble adjusting to laptops and e-books, said Connie Cooley, who has taught at the Academy of Irving ISD for five years. But she said it could worry teachers."It's harder for people who are right around my age and older." said Ms. Cooley, 36. "I'm laptop-savvy, so I was ready for it, but those that aren't are a little worrying.七、翻译句子（满分15分）9、【来源】 2017年上海松江区高三一模第72~75题15分Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.(1) 任何为实现梦想而付诸行动的人都应受到尊敬。

We stayed in a guesthouse on a farm, (22) ________ (join) in the daily routines and eating meals with the farmer and his family. We got up early tosee the cows as they (23) ________ (milk). I even tried my hand at milking one, and then joined the farmer as he released the cows into the field afterward.Decades later I still have vivid memories of that trip and of experiencing a lifestyle so different (24) ________ my own. It made me realize the value of a vacation.To this day, I wonder (25) ________ that farmer ever managed to enjoy a vacation of his own. There is never a day when the animals don’t need to be fed. But I still think of that family trip when I plan my approach to taking time off with my wife and kids. Vacations are a time for resting and connecting. As a bank manager, I spend much of my workday encouraging my customers to save their money. One of the reasons I give is that we should all have enough for a family vacation every year. In our busy lives, family is what we (26) ________ be saving our money and time for.For my family, our vacation starts when we begin planning the trip.

Note that there is one word more than you need.The human face is a remarkable piece of work. The astonishing variety of facial 31 helps people recognize each other and is crucial to the formation of complex societies. So is the face’s ability to send emotional 32 , whether through a(n) 33 blush or a false smile. People spend much of their waking lives, in the office and the courtroom as well as the bar and the bedroom, reading faces, for signs of attraction, hostility and trust.Technology is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. In America facial recognition is used by churches to 34 worshippers’ attendance;in Britain, by retailers to spot past shoplifters. This year Welsh police used it to arrest a(n) 35 outside a football game. In China it verifies the identities of ride-hailing drivers, 36 touriststo enter attractions and lets people pay for things witha smile. Apple’s new iPhone is expected to use it to37 the homescreen.Set against human skills, such applications might seem gradual. Some breakthroughs, such as flight or the Internet, obviously transform human abilities; facial recognition seems merely to encode them. Although faces are 38 to individuals, they are also public, so technology does not, at first sight, intrude on something that is private. And yet the ability to record, 39 and analyze images of faces cheaply, quickly and on a vast 40 promises one day to bring about fundamental changes to notions of privacy, fairness and trust.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）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.The notion of building brand personality is promotedby Starbucks as a part of company culture to embed meaningin their products and thus attract more customers.Starbucks literally changed the definition of “a goodcup of coffee”. For Starbucks, the brand had threeover the quality and processing of the beansquality. Outstanding store personnel were employed and trained in coffee knowledge and 43 service. Store design, atmosphere and aroma (浓香) all 44 the “Starbucks Experience”.Almost all Starbucks stores were corporately owned and controlled. Starbucks prided itself on the “Starbucks Experience”,45 coffee to provide a unique experience for its customers.46 those traditional coffee houses providing you with the grab-and-go service, Starbucks provides you with more than coffee. You get great people, first-rate music, a comfortable and upbeat meeting place, and 47 advice on brewing excellent coffee at home. At home you’re part of a family. At work you’re p art of a company. And somewhere in between is a place where you can sit back and be yourself. That’s what a Starbucks store has been 48 to creating for its customers —a kind of “third place” where they can 49 ,reflect, read, chat or listen.The green Starbucks logo is a mermaid that looks like the end of the double image of the sea. It was designed by Terry Heckler, who got the 50 from the wooden statue of the sea. Mermaid logo also 51 original and modern meanings: her face is very simple, but with modern abstract forms of packaging; the middle is black and white, the only color on the outside surrounded by a circle.Starbucks makes the typical American culture gradually broken down into elements of 52 : the visual warmth, hearing the way, smelling the aroma of coffee and so on. Just think, through the huge glass windows, watching the crowded streets, 53 sipping a coffee flavor, which is in line with the “Yapi”, the feeling of experience in the 54 life.But the 55 of Starbucks is not about the coffee, although it’s great coffee. Coffee is only a carrier. Coffee consumption, to a great extent, is an emotional and cultural level of consumption.41.A. people B. managers C. customersD. clients42.A. assured B. promised C. ensuredD. predicted43.A. emergency B. environment C. employmentD. customer44.A. consisted of B. benefited from C. contributed to D. headed for45.A. going beyond B. coming across C. making up D. depending on46.A.

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)Men are as likely as women to suffer from postnatal (产后的) depression, a study shows. One in ten fathers — the same ratios as mothers — are found to suffer before or after birth. By the time their child reaches 12 weeks, as many as one in four are feeling down.The symptoms observed in the American study are notthought to be hormonal — as they are in women — and are instead probably a response to the pressures of fatherhood. These include the expense of having children, changed relationship with partners and fear of paternal (父亲的) responsibility. In the early weeks, the lack of sleep and extra domestic chores also take the toll.The study put the overall rate of depression among new fathers at 10.4 percent —double the estimated 4.8 percent for all men in any 12-month period. Around 8 percent were affected in the 12 weeks before and after birth, according to the Eastern Virginia Medical School Research. The study found parents were more likely to be down if their partner was too.It is estimated that around one in ten women suffers postnatal depression, even if they have never had mental health problems. Without treatment the condition can last for months. Although most women have a few days of “Baby Blues” shortly after birth, postnatal depression can kick in up to six months later. Experts say that paternal depression is serious because it can have “substantial emotional, behavioural and developmental” effects on children.56. The “Baby Blues” effect among fathers may be caused by the following except __________.A. domestic choresB. fatherhood pressureC. paternal responsibilityD. hormone imbalance57. What does the underlined phrase“take the toll”in paragraph 2 mean?A. Cost a lot of money.B. Take the lead.C. Have a bad effect.D. Have no links.58. Which could be the best title for the passage?A. Therapy for DepressionB. Father Getting Baby BluesC. Effects of Father BluesD. Postnatal Recovery(B)59. Which way is most suitable for Mary, who can just spare one day to travel around Singapore?A. Night Safari.B. DUCK.C. City Sightseeing.D. Flyer.60. If David and his 9-year-old son are both animal lovers, they had better dial ___________ for more information before their tour.A. 6338-6877B. 6338-6859C. 6338-3311D. 6338-682661. Mr. Smith is going to take his wife, his 13-year-old daughter and his 1-year-old son to visit Singapore at their own leisurely pace, he should get at least ___________ ready.A. $89B. $99C. $91D. $10162. Which organization in Singapore is most likely to issue the information above?A. Education Commission.B. HealthDepartment.C. Transportation Bureau.D. Tourism Bureau.(C)Antibiotics, vaccines, organ transplant and HIV/AIDS treatments are all medical milestones that have indisputably made life better and saved millions of lives. But all these advances and countless others were developed using animals. The latest eye shadow and other cosmetics and industrial chemicals are also developed with animal testing.The lab animal issue has received attention in China in recent years as more people are concerned about animals’ rights. China has no animal welfare laws prohibiting cruelty to animals, but there are standards (1986 and 2006) for humane treatment of lab animals, though these are difficult to enforce.World Day for Laboratory Animals was established in 1979 by the British National Anti-Vivisection Society, memorializing millions of animals that contributed to pure science, medicine, industry, fashion and thecosmetics industry. It’s also a day of action to protest the use of live animals for experiments from lab rats and dogs to cattle and primates (灵长类动物).Thousands of activists worldwide are campaigning to raise awareness and demand an end to experimentation with animals, though there are few effective alternatives. The British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection estimates that 100 million vertebrates (脊椎动物) are used in experiments every year, 10 to 11 million in the European Union. This doesn’t include mice, rats, frogs and animals not yet weaned. There are no reliable figures for China where specially bred animals are used extensively for research. Some date indicate around 16 million vertebrates were used in 2006.Three Rs principleThe three Rs are principles for lab animal welfare proposed by microbiologist RL Burch and zoologist W.M.S. Russel in 1959. They are “reduction, refinement and replacement” and scientists are encouraged to follow them.*Reduce the number of animals by improving experimental techniques and increasing informationsharing among researchers.*Refine experiments and treatment to reduce suffering; use less invasive techniques, improve care and living conditions.*Replace experiments on live animals with alternative testing where possible.“But the three Rs suggests general acquiescence (默许) in animal experimentation,” says astatement by Animal Rights in Chine (ARC), set up in 2006 by over 3000 campaigners who have been urging the use of alternatives.The alternatives activists advocate include using cell cultures instead of whole animals, using phototoxicity tests on chemicals to predict their effects on humans, using computer models, studying human volunteers and working on isolated tissues. These approaches can be useful but they can’t provide the answers that animal research can.“Animal experiment ation is a basic, very important method in life science study and biomedical research and in some specific fields, so it is irreplaceable,” says Yang Fei, deputy director of the Animal Experimentation Department of Fudan University. Yang has worked onregulating and standardizing animal testing for over 15 years.He says testing on primates is still necessary because their immune system is very similar to that of humans. They are needed to develop drugs for malaria, HIV/AIDS and infections such as SARS, he says, though admitting the approach is not perfect.63. According to the passage, ___________ may not be related to animal testing.A. Cough mixturesB. Genetically modified riceC. Dior LipsticksD. Artificial livers64. World Day for Laboratory animals was set up for the following reasons except ___________.A. to call for better experimental techniques to reduce sufferingsB. to memorialize the animals sacrificed in the labsC. to raise awareness of animal rightD. to offer the activists a chance to raise their objections to the use of animals’ forexperiments65. Why W.M.S Russel advocated researchers to share moreinformation?A.Because researchers can better cooperate with each other to eliminate animal testing.B. Because researchers can turn to alternatives to replace animal testing.C. Because researchers can avoid repeating similar testing on animals.D. Because researchers can make the animal testing more effective.66. ___________ is the biggest obstacle to cancelling animal testing.A. Lack of enough fundB. Lack of human awarenessC. Lack of supportive statisticsD. Lack of effective alternativesSection C （8分）Directions: Read the following passage. 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.Overnight, e ating fried chicken in the People’s Square is OUT; instead, people started to drink HEEKCAA and eat Bao Master. This year, the queues in front of the doors of “Wanghong delicacies” were so dense that a cup of tea has been hyped to over 80 Yuan by scalpers (黄牛) and local bloggers even customized a one-day tour to eat in Shanghai.To a great extent, Wanghong phenomenon depends onmerchants’ business strategy. ______67______. Business also works on publicity. Before HEEKCAA’s arrival in Shanghai, it has advertised through microblog, local life service and other self-media, which has generated a certain amount of heat among the public. Once people make the purchase, the “sense of accomplishment” will urge some of them to show off at their Wechat moments, which is good for brand image. Also, when a product is quickly recognized by consumers, capitals will come in great numbers. The boost of capitals undoubtedly helps the subsequent publicity of the brand.______68______. In the Internet era, the spread of informat ion is so fast that it doesn’t matter whether the tea tastes good or bad; it’s just a matter of whether you ever drink it. There is a word for this behavior —“fomo”, which means fear of missing out. Oxford University professor said this is not new. As social animals, humans have a strong desire to be part of a group, to be accepted, recognized, valued and remembered. A little baby cries for a hug and a child makes small trouble to get noticed. These behaviors are, in the eyes of sociologists, anxious for e xistence. It’s just thatsocial media today that make it easier for people to perceive other people’s lives, and have a sense of loss not to join them when they know what others are doing.10-20 Yuan is the exchange value of milk tea, but it’s the symbol value of the goods that encourages people to “pull the grass”. Just like the lipstick, mailbox and graffiti wall that have been on the list of Wanghong, people want to use relatively controllable spending to gain satisfaction from a moments’ thumb up. ______69______.With the development of society, consumers are not just buying a product but its brand culture and quality of life, so the appearance of light consuming is inevitable. However, “Wanghong economy” is always short-lived because this consumer group is changeable in affection. Consumers who come by “physical attractiveness” will quickly vanish if there is no implicit value or connotation to support. ______70______. Besides, consumers should make rational consumption instead of just following the trend.IV. Summary Writing （10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize themain idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the world’s great religions order us to be open hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encouragesthis sort of evil. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one’s sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.V. Translation （15分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72. 我们在国外旅游时，应当遵循当地的风俗。

Or this sentence: "BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight."What on earth do they mean? Well, "totes" is a short form of "total. Similarly, "tradge" means "tragic" and "emosh" means "emotional".

Whether it’s one of London’s parks full of people playing softball, and Russians taking up rugby, or the Superbowl rivaling the British Football Cup Final as a televised spectator event in Britain, the patterns of players and spectators are changing beyond recognition. We are witnessing a globalization of our sporting culture.That annual bicycle race, the Tour de France, much loved by the French, is a good case in point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affair with France, Belgium and Holland, Spain and Italy taking part in. But in recent years it has been dominated by Colombian mountain climbers, and American and Irish riders.The people who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization. Peugeot, Michelin and Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwide returns for the millions they invest in teams. So it does them literally a world of good to see this unofficial world championship become just that.This is undoubtedly an economic-based revolution we are witnessing here, one made possible by communications technology, but made to happen because of marketing considerations. Sell the game and you can sell Coca Cola or Budweiser as well.The skillful way in which American football has been sold to Europe is a good example of how all sports will develop. The aim of course is not really to spread the sport for its own sake, but to increase the number of people interested in the major money-making events. The economics of the Superbowl are already astronomical. With seats at US ＄125, gate receipts alone were a staggering ＄10,000,000. The most important statistic of the clay, however,was the ＄10,000,000 in TV advertising fees. Imagine how much that becomes when the eyes of the world are watching.So it came as a terrible shock, but not really as a surprise, to learn that some people are now suggesting that soccer change from being a game of two 45-minute halves, to one of four 25-minute quarters. The idea is unashamedly to capture more advertising revenue, without giving any thought for the integrity of a sport which relies for its essence on the flowing nature of the action.Moreover, as sports expand into world markets, and as our choice of sports as consumers also grows, we will demand to see them played at a higher and higher level. In boxing we have already seen numerous, dubious world title categories because people will not pay to see anything less than a "World Title" fight, and this means that the title fights have to be held in different countries around the world!59. Globalization of sporting culture means that ___.A. more people are taking up sports.B. traditional sports are getting popular.C. many local sports are becoming internationalD. foreigners are more interested in local sports60. Which of the following is NOT related to the massive changes?A. Good economic returns.B. Revival of traditional gamesC. Communications technology.D. Marketing strategies.61 . What is the author’s attitude towards the suggestion to change soccer into one of four 25-minute quarters?A. Favorable.B. Unclear.C. Reserved.D. Critical.62.This massage mainly discuss ___A. the commercialization of sporting culture.B. the worldwide popularization of sports.C. the speculation in sporting eventsD. the restoration of sportsmanship(C)It is a curious paradox that we think of the physical sciences as “hard”, the social sciences as “soft,” and the biological sciences as somewhere in between. This is interpreted to mean that our knowledge of physical system is more certain than our knowledge of biological systems, and these in turn are more certain than our knowledge of social systems. In terms of our capacity of sample the relevant universes, however, and the probability that our images of these universes are at least approximately correct, one suspects that a reverse order is more reasonable. We are able to sample earth’s social systems with some degree of confidence that we have a reasonable sample of the total universe being investigated. Our knowledge of social systems, therefore, while it is in many ways extremely inaccurate, is not likely to be seriously overturned by new discoveries. Even the folk knowledge in social systems on which ordinary life is based in earning, spending, organizing, marrying, taking part in political activities, fighting and so on, is not very dissimilar from the more sophisticated images of the social system derived form the social sciences, even though it is built upon the very imperfect samples of personal experience.In contrast, our image of the astronomical universe, or even if earth’s geological history, ca easily be subject to revolutionary changes as new data come in and new theories are worked out. If we define the “security” of our image of various parts of the total system as the probability of their suffering significant changes, then we would reverse the order for hardness and as the most secure, the physical sciences as the least secure, and again thebiological sciences as somewhere in between. Our image of the astronomical universe is the least secure of all simply because we observe such a fantastically small sample of it and its record-keeping is trivial records of biological systems. Records of the astronomical universe, despite the fact that we learnt things as they were long age, are limited in the extreme.Even in regard to such a close neighbor as the moon, which we have actually visited, theories about its origin and history are extremely different, contradictory, and hard to choose among. Our knowledge of physical evolution is incomplete and insecure.63. The word “paradox” (Line 1, Para. 1) means “_____”.A. implicationB. contradictionC. interpretationD. confusion64. According to the author, we should reverse our classification of the physical sciences as “hard” and the social sciences as “soft” because _______.A. a reverse ordering will help promote the development of the physical sciencesB. our knowledge of physical systems is more reliable than that of social systemsC. our understanding of the social systems is approximately correctD. we are better able to investigate social phenomena than physical phenomena65.. The chances of the physical sciences being subject to great changes are the biggest because _____.A. contradictory theories keep emerging all the timeB. new information is constantly coming inC. the direction of their development is difficult to predictD. our knowledge of the physical world is inaccurate66. We know less about the astronomical universe than we don about any social system because ______.A. theories of its origin and history are variedB. our knowledge of it is highly insecureC. only a very small sample of it has been observedD. few scientists are involved in the study of astronomySection CDirections: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. It covered 15 acres, or 650,000 square feet.B. It doesn’t help if you don’t know what direction you need to go in a maze.C. In Ireland and Wales, pictures of mazes are put on jewelry and in paintings.D. Donnie Fulks and his four sons cut some paths here and there through the tall corn.E. Kids and adults have a wonderful time working together to find their way to the end.F. The Fulks family have made large profits from it.Even if thieves managed to enter a pyramid, they would probably never find their way out. Other ancient mazes have been found, from Sweden to New Mexico. Some are caved in rock or painted on cave walls, while others are built from dirt, stones or bricks._____68_________Mazes have been built into the tall hedges（树篱）of large gardens in England.In 1986 the Fulks family of Fredericksburg, Virginia, decided to create a maze in their cornfield on the Belvedere Plantation. _______68____________Soon this “Maize Maze” was so familiar that the Fulkses found themselves creating a new maze each year as a new crop filled the field.Some people return each year. To make it challenging for them, each corny maze is somewhat different fromthe previous ones. In 1998 the Fulks family invited the world-famous maze designer Adrian Fisher to create a huge maze.________69_________. Each new pattern was first worked out on a computer, and the one used in 2001 had to be explained eighteen times before it was just right. After it was finished, Donnie Fulks and his sons took a detailed drawing of the pattern divided into squares, and then started the cutting job. They then started cutting the design into the corn field.The Fulks family’s maze is open while the corn is tall. Visitors are given flags to mark their progress and to wave for help if they are quiet.___________70___________. Built into the 2001 maze were several surprises. It started in the center of the cornfield, making it the world’s only inside-out maze!V.

Each wordThe ability of the herd mentality（从众心理）to increase people’s chances of liking or believing something may help explain a wide variety of phenomena. Aral (A managerial economist at the Massachusetts institute of technology) says, from housing ___31___ to gold prices and from political polls to restaurant reviews, the ___32___ that other people like something has a powerful ability to make people likeit themselves.The new study ___33___ how simple it would be for companies to control reviews of their products by simply adding a few positive ___34___ of their own early reviews in the process, Aral adds.It found that effects were strongest when stories were about politics, business and cultures than for fun or lifestyle pieces. In situations where there are more ___35___ news reviews, you have to be a little more cautious about interpreting likes and dislikes.“Think twice before you trust, how many likes something has,” he adds. “That’s something you have to ___36___ with a grain of salt (持怀疑态度).” And it’s a situation many online users ___37___ on a daily basis.Aral recently went to review a restaurant with a plan to give it three out of five stars, but when he got to the ___38___, he was shown how other people describe the same place and those reviews include someone with five stars. Seeing those positive reviews made him think twice about his own ___39___ average opinion.“A woman ___40___ how great it is, how great her great prices are and how the lemon sauce is so great,” he says. “Maybe it’s not such a good idea to say some rating right before you make your own.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）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.Whether it’s from an awful breakup or a painful life event, som e memories can return repeatedly to our mind for the entire lives. But, what if science can ___41___ your bad memories so that you can start all over again? As is known to all, memory is an incredibly complex ____42___. While scientists used to believe it was like a filing cabinet and particular memories were stored in different sections of the brain, we now know this is ___43___.In fact, each memory is a brain wide process. If you end up remembering something, it’s because the cells in your brain are bein g fired, ___44___ new connections and links and literally rebuild the circuitry of your mind. And this change is partially ___45___ by proteins in the brain. So what if the proteins aren’t available?Simply put, memories can’t be made. Seriously, scientist s have tested this by giving animals drugs that prevent these proteins from forming. ___46___, the animals have no recollection of the things that took place shortly after the drug was taken. From this research, scientists actually found a way to target long-term memories for ___47___. You see, every single time you remember a memory, your brain is once again firing and rewiring.In fact, each time you reflect on a memory, you are physically changing that memory in your mind. And each time the memory is changed a little, it reflects your ___48___ thoughts. Remembering, to a great extent, is an act of ___49___ and imagination, which means that the more you reflect on old memories, the less accurate they will become. And scientists have actually quantified this change.After 9/11, hundreds of people were asked about their memories of the dreadful day. A year later, 37% of the details had changed. By 2004, nearly 50% of the details had changed or gone ___50___. And because memories are formed and rebuilt every time, if you administer(服药) the protein-preventing drug while recalling a memory, the memory can be ___51___ removed.To test this, scientists took lab rats and played sound for them, shortly followed by an electric shock. ___52___ doing this for many times, the rats quickly learned that if they heard the sound, a shock was soon to follow. Therefore, they would stress up and freeze every time they heard it. Months later, these rats would still ___53___ the noise. However, if they administered the drug first, the rats would lose the memory of the sound, and simply continue on. They had lost their memory of that specific noise.To be sure that the drug wasn’t just causing large-scale brain damage, scientists repeated these experiments with various tones this time. Both sounds would warn for a shock and ___54___ the rats would fear both. But if they administered the drug and played only one of the sounds, the mice would only forget that one tone, while still remaining ___55___ of the other. Over time scientists have discovered specific drugs to target particular proteins across different parts of the brain.41. A. refresh B. forget C. control D. erase42. A. range B. process C. idea D. structure43. A. incorrect B. evident C. partial D. complex44. A. eliminating B. decreasing C. bringing D. building45.

A. surprisingly B. especially C. eventually D. similarly55. A. suspicious B. careful C. painful D.fearfulSection B （22分）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)Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. That’s because ti gers are the largest of all cat species. Tigers are not only large, they are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. You might not think that such large, fast, and fierce creatures need help to survive, but they do.It is estimated that at the start of the 20th century, there were over 100,000 tigers living in the wild. By the turn of the century, the number of tigers outside of captivity dwindled to just over 3,000. Interestingly, the most serious threats that tigers face come from a much smaller species, one with an average weight of around 140 lbs. That species is Homo sapiens, better known as humans. Humans threaten tigers in primarily two ways: hunting and destroying habitat.Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, tiger pelts are worth around $10,000 on the black market. Though the fur would be incentive enough for most poachers, other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny. Some people in China and other Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties. Traditional Chinese medicine calls for the use of tiger bones, amongst other parts, in some prescriptions.Tigers have also been hunted as game. In other words, people hunted tigers solely for the thrill and achievement of killing them. Such killings took place in large scale during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when an English hunter might claim to kill over a hundred tigers in their hunting career. Though this practice is much less popular today than it was in the past, it has not ceased entirely.Humans have done considerable damage to the world’s tiger population through hunting, but perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, all the way from Turkey to the eastern coast of Russia. But over the past 100 years, tigers have lost 93% of their historic range. Instead of spanning all the way across Asia, the tiger population is now isolated in small pockets in southern and southeastern Asia. This is because humans have drastically changed the environments. Humans have built towns and cities. Road and transit systems were created to connect these towns and cities. To feed the people living in these areas, forests and fields have been cleared to create farmland.A major obstacle to preserving tigers is the enormous amount of territory that each tiger requires. Each wild tiger demands between 200 and 300 square miles. Tigers are also both territorial and solitary animals. This means that they are protective of the areas that they claim and they generally do not share with other tigers.Because tigers need so much territory, it is really difficult for conservationists to acquire enough land to support a large population of tigers.56. Which of the following is NOT a reason in the article explaining why tigers are hunted?A. Because tiger skins are worth a lot of money.B. Because tiger parts are used as medicines in some cultures.C. Because some tigers attack local villages.D. Because tigers are hunted for enjoyment by some people.57. The underlined word “incentive” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A. attractiveB. innovativeC. alternativeD. respective58. Which best explains why tigers have lost so much of their habitat according to the text?A. Because tigers are under threat from other animals.B. Because tiger skins are extremely valuable.C. Because the environment has been changed.D. Because tigers need so much space to survive.59. Which of the following best describes the author’s main purpose in writing this article?A. To provide readers with interesting information about the lifestyles oftigers.B. To persuade readers to help the world’s tiger population and to offer ways to help.C. To entertain readers with stories about how tigers hunt and are hunted.D. To explain to readers why the world’s tiger population is endangered.(B)is the first film in this documentarydifferentstudyEnglish and stay with local families in what is called aarrangement is a positive experience.

Homestay arrangement provides positive experience for learners.C. The Internet and games plays a major role in language learning.D. The principle of learning by doing is widely accepted by learners.(C)The Paris climate agreement finalised in December last year indicated a new era for climate action. For the first time, the world’s nations agreed to keep global warming well below 2℃.This is vital for climate-vulnerable nations. Fewer than 4% of countries are responsible for more than half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. In a study published in Nature Scientific Reports, we reveal just how deep this injustice runs.Developed nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and European countr ies are essentially climate “free-riders”: causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while paying few of the costs such as climate changes impact on food and water. In other words, a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproportionately to the global burden of climate change.On the other hand, there are many “forced riders”, who are suffering from the climate change impacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries, the majority of which are African or small island states, produce a very small quantity of emissions. This is much like a non-smoker getting cancer from second-hand smoke, while the heavy smoker is fortunate enough to smoke in good health.The Paris agreement has been widely considered as a positive step forward in addressing climate change for all, although the details on addressing “climate justice” can be best described as incomplete.The goal of keeping global temperature rise “well below” 2℃ deserves to be praised but the emissions reduction promises submitted by countries leading up to the Paris talks are very unlikely to deliver on this.More than $100 billion in funding has been put on the table for supporting developing nations to reduce emissions. However, the agreement specifies that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical emissions. There is also very little detail on who will provide the funds or, importantly, who is responsible for their provision. Securing these funds and establishing who is responsible for raising them will also be vital for the future of climate-vulnerable countries.The most climate-vulnerable countries in the world have contributed very little to creating the global disease from which they now suffer the most. There must urgently be a meaningful mobilization of the policies outlined in the agreement if we are to achieve national emissions reductions while helping the most vulnerable countries adapt to climate change.And it is clearly up to the current generation of leaders from high-emitting nations to decide whether they want to be remembered as climate change tyrants (暴君) or pioneers.63.

From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorr y, S ir. Please forgive me. I’ve never done such a thing before.” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.Mr Carr’s brow furrowed (皱眉) as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Hig gins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt.

Each wordThe ability of the herd mentality（从众心理）to increase people’s chances of liking or believing something may help explain a wide variety of phenomena. Aral (A managerial economist at the Massachusetts institute of technology) says, from housing ___31___ to gold prices and from political polls to restaurant reviews, the ___32___ that other people like something has a powerful ability to make people like it themselves.The new study ___33___ how simple it would be for companies to control reviewsof their products by simply adding a few positive ___34___ of their own early reviews in the process, Aral adds.It found that effects were strongest when stories were about politics, business and cultures than for fun or lifestyle pieces. In situations where there are more ___35___ news reviews, you have to be a little more cautious about interpreting likes and dislikes.“Think twice before you trust, how many likes something has,” he a dds. “That’s something you have to ___36___ with a grain of salt (持怀疑态度).” And it’s a situation many online users ___37___ on a daily basis.Aral recently went to review a restaurant with a plan to give it three out of five stars, but when he got to the ___38___, he was shown how other people describe the same place and those reviews include someone with five stars.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Whether it’s from an awful breakup or a painful life event, some memorie s can return repeatedly to our mind for the entire lives. But, what if science can ___41___ your bad memories so that you can start all over again? As is known to all, memory is an incredibly complex ____42___. While scientists used to believe it was like a filing cabinet and particular memories were stored in different sections of the brain, we now know this is ___43___.In fact, each memory is a brain wide process. If you end up remembering something, it’s because the cells in your brain are being fired, ___44___ new connections and links and literally rebuild the circuitry of your mind. And this change is partially ___45___ by proteins in the brain. So what if the proteins aren’t available?Simply put, memories can’t be made. Seriously, scientists have te sted this by giving animals drugs that prevent these proteins from forming. ___46___, the animals have no recollection of the things that took place shortly after the drug was taken. From this research, scientists actually found a way to target long-term memories for ___47___. You see, every single time you remember a memory, your brain is once again firing and rewiring.In fact, each time you reflect on a memory, you are physically changing that memory in your mind. And each time the memory is changed a little, it reflects your ___48___ thoughts. Remembering, to a great extent, is an act of ___49___ and imagination, which means that the more you reflect on old memories, the less accurate they will become. And scientists have actually quantified this change.After 9/11, hundreds of people were asked about their memories of the dreadful day. A year later, 37% of the details had changed. By 2004, nearly 50% of the detailshad changed or gone ___50___. And because memories are formed and rebuilt every time, if you administer(服药) the protein-preventing drug while recalling a memory, the memory can be ___51___ removed.To test this, scientists took lab rats and played sound for them, shortly followed by an electric shock. ___52___ doing this for many times, the rats quickly learned that if they heard the sound, a shock was soon to follow. Therefore, they would stress up and freeze every time they heard it. Months later, these rats would still ___53___ the noise. However, if they administered the drug first, the rats would lose the memory of the sound, and simply continue on. They had lost their memory of that specific noise.To be sure that the drug wasn’t just causing large-scale brain damage, scientists repeated these experiments with various tones this time. Both sounds would warn for a shock and ___54___ the rats would fear both. But if they administered the drug and played only one of the sounds, the mice would only forget that one tone, while still remaining ___55___ of the other. Over time scientists have discovered specific drugs to target particular proteins across different parts of the brain.41. A. refresh B. forget C. control D. erase42.

A. surprisingly B. especially C. eventually D. similarly55. A. suspicious B. careful C. painful D. fearfulSection B （22分）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)Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. That’s because tigers are the largest of all cat species. Tigers are not only large, they are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. You might not think that such large, fast, and fierce creatures need help to survive, but they do.It is estimated that at the start of the 20th century, there were over 100,000 tigers living in the wild. By the turn of the century, the number of tigers outside of captivity dwindled to just over 3,000. Interestingly, the most serious threats that tigers face come from a much smaller species, one with an average weight of around 140 lbs. That species is Homo sapiens, better known as humans. Humans threaten tigers in primarily two ways: hunting and destroying habitat.Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, tiger pelts are worth around $10,000 on the black market. Though the fur would be incentive enough for most poachers, other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny. Some people in China and other Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties. Traditional Chinese medicine calls for the use of tiger bones, amongst other parts, in some prescriptions.Tigers have also been hunted as game. In other words, people hunted tigers solely for the thrill and achievement of killing them. Such killings took place in large scale during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when an English hunter might claim to kill over a hundred tigers in their hunting career. Though this practice is much less popular today than it was in the past, it has not ceased entirely.Humans have done considerable damage to the world’s tiger population through hunting, but perhaps more damage has been caused through the destruction of habitat. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, all the way from Turkey to the eastern coast of Russia. But over the past 100 years, tigers have lost 93% of their historic range. Instead of spanning all the way across Asia, the tiger population is now isolated in small pockets in southern and southeastern Asia. This is because humans have drastically changed the environments. Humans have built towns and cities. Road and transit systems were created to connect these towns and cities. To feed the people living in these areas, forests and fields have been cleared to create farmland.A major obstacle to preserving tigers is the enormous amount of territory that each tiger requires. Each wild tiger demands between 200 and 300 square miles. Tigers are also both territorial and solitary animals. This means that they are protective of the areas that they claim and they generally do not share with other tigers. Because tigers need so much territory, it is really difficult for conservationists to acquire enough land to support a large population of tigers.56. Which of the following is NOT a reason in the article explaining why tigers are hunted?A. Because tiger skins are worth a lot of money.B. Because tiger parts are used as medicines in some cultures.C. Because some tigers attack local villages.D. Because tigers are hunted for enjoyment by some people.57. The underlined word “incentive” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A. attractiveB. innovativeC. alternativeD. respective58. Which best explains why tigers have lost so much of their habitat according to the text?A. Because tigers are under threat from other animals.B. Because tiger skins are extremely valuable.C. Because the environment has been changed.D. Because tigers need so much space to survive.59. Which of the following best describes the author’s main purpose in writing this article?A. To provide readers with interesting information about the lifestyles oftigers.B. To persuade readers to help the world’s tiger population and to of fer ways to help.C. To entertain readers with stories about how tigers hunt and are hunted.D. To explain to readers why the world’s tiger population is endangered.(B)60.

Homestay arrangement provides positive experience for learners.C. The Internet and games plays a major role in language learning.D. The principle of learning by doing is widely accepted by learners.(C)The Paris climate agreement finalised in December last year indicated a new era for clim ate action. For the first time, the world’s nations agreed to keep global warming well below 2℃.This is vital for climate-vulnerable nations. Fewer than 4% of countries are responsible for more than half of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. In a study published in Nature Scientific Reports, we reveal just how deep this injustice runs.Developed nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and European countries are essentially climate “free-riders”: causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while paying few of the costs such as climate changes impact on food and water. In other words, a few countries arebenefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproportionately to the global burden of climate change.On the other hand, there are many “forced riders”, who are suffering from the climate change impacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries, the majority of which are African or small island states, produce a very small quantity of emissions. This is much like a non-smoker getting cancer from second-hand smoke, while the heavy smoker is fortunate enough to smoke in good health.The Paris agreement has been widely considered as a positive step forward in addressing climate change for all, although the details on addressing “climate justice” can be best described as incomplete.The goal of keeping global temperature rise “well below” 2℃ deserves to be praised but the emissions reduction promises submitted by countries leading up to the Paris talks are very unlikely to deliver on this.More than $100 billion in funding has been put on the table for supporting developing nations to reduce emissions. However, the agreement specifies that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical emissions. There is also very little detail on who will provide the funds or, importantly, who is responsible for their provision. Securing these funds and establishing who is responsible for raising them will also be vital for the future of climate-vulnerable countries.The most climate-vulnerable countries in the world have contributed very little to creating the global disease from which they now suffer the most. There must urgently be a meaningful mobilization of the policies outlined in the agreement if we are to achieve national emissions reductions while helping the most vulnerable countries adapt to climate change.And it is clearly up to the current generation of leaders from high-emitting nations to decide whether they want to be remembered as climate change tyrants (暴君) or pioneers.63. The author is critical of the Paris climate agreement because ________.A. it is unfair to those climate-vulnerable nationsB. it aims to keep temperature rise below 2℃ onlyC. it is beneficial to only fewer than 4% of countriesD. it burdens developed countries with the full responsibility64. Why does the author call some developed countries climate “free-riders”?A. They needn’t worry about the food and water they consume.B. They are better able to cope with the global climate change.C. They hardly pay anything for the problems they have caused.D. They are free from the greenhouse effects affecting “forced riders”.65. What does the author say about the $100 billion funding?A.

Decades ago, Kodak foresaw that digital photography would unavoidably 53 film — and in fact, Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975 — but in a 54 decision, the company choseto 55 its new discovery and went on focusing on its traditional film business.It wasn’t that Kodak was 56 to the future, but rather that it failed to carry outa strategy to face it, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at Harvard Business School. By the time the company realized its 57 , it was too late.Kodak is an example of a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spenta lot of money trying to do so, but 58 failed. Large companies have a difficult time59into new markets because they always attempt to put existing assets (资产) into the new businesses.Although Kodak predicted the 60 rise of digital photography, its corporate（企业的） culture was too 61 the successes of the past. Therefore, it is impossible for them to make the clean break, which is necessary to fully embrace the future. They werea company stuck in time. Their history was so important to them. Now their history has becomea burden.Kodak’s downfall over the last several decades was 62 . In 1976, its products 6390% of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the 1980s brought new 64 from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, which defeated Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo supplies. Kodak’s 65 not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The golden chance wentto Fuji instead, which exploited its sponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace.51. A. prepared B. preferred C. pioneered D. promised52.

A. decision B. effort C. regret D. accessSection B （24分）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)Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient – no matter where he or she may be.Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious examples. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf(现成的) PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit(急救包), the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response – especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.But there is one problem. Bandwidth (频带宽度) is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world – CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence.Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training andtelemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in (迎来) an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.66. The basis of remote diagnosis will be ____________.A. personal data assistanceB. standardized symptoms of a patientC. real physiological data from a patientD. transmitted complex medical images67. The sentence “the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well bea thing of the past” means ____________.A. patients used to cry and ask if there was a doctor in the houseB. now people probably will not ask if there is a doctor in the houseC. patients are now still asking if there is a doctor in the houseD. in the past people often cried and asked if there was a doctor in the house68. The word “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that ____________.A. CT scans are one of the biggest bandwidth consumersB. there are not enough mobile phones for distributing medical intelligenceC. communications satellites can only cope with the short-term needs during disastersD. bandwidth is not adequate to transmit complex medical images around the world69. A proper title for the passage may be ____________.A. The Online Doctor Is inB. Improvement in CommunicationC. How to Make Remote DiagnosisD. Application of Telemedicine(B)Ticket valid (有效的) for 1 year from date of issue.Conditions:(1)The company will do its best to carry the passenger and luggage at the times advertised. Timetables may, however, change suddenly and flights be cancelled.(2) Passengers who arrive late and miss their flights will have to buy new tickets.(3) Any damage to luggage must be reported in writing within seven days.(4) If passengers carry more luggage than they are allowed, they must pay extra.(5) Passengers must have with them all the necessary official papers.(6) Passengers must pay their own airport tax.(7) Passengers may carry a small bag with them on to the plane. It must not weigh more than 7kg.It must be put in an overhead locker or on the floor under the seat in front of thepassenger.(8) Passengers may not carry any sharp objects on to the aeroplane.(9) Dangerous objects may not be put in luggage. Acids, things which catch fire easily and poisonsare not allowed.(10) Passengers must do as the captain orders them.(11) No smoking is allowed anywhere on the aeroplane.(12) Mobile phones and similar pieces of equipment must be switched off.70. Which of these actions is not against the conditions?A. Forgetting your passport.B. Smoking in the toilets.C. Carrying a mobile phone.D. Having a pair of scissors in your hand luggage.71. According to the passage, which statement is NOT TRUE?A. You can change the dates of travel during a twelve-month period.B. The airline must accept responsibility if a flight does not happen.C. The cost of the ticket does not include airport tax.D. The captain has full authority on his plane.72. How much luggage may the passenger take free of charge on this ticket?A. 30 kg.B. 37 kg.C. 60 kg.D. 67 kg.(C)Scientists have long believed one way to stop the Earth’s atmosphere from warming is by planting more trees. The idea is that more trees will take in or absorb some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a gas released by cars, factories and other human activities. The gas traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, which warms the planet. However, two new studies have found that trees may not be as helpful in reducing carbon dioxide as thought.The first study was done at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Researchers pumped extra carbon dioxide into a test area where pine trees were growing. The trees grew thirty-four percent faster during the first three years. However, in time, the trees slowed to about their normal growth rate. The scientists say this is because trees need other nutrients, such as nitrogen.In the second study, researchers from Duke and Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine examined the soil around trees. They discovered that as the leaves broke down into the soil, all the carbon was not trapped in the soil. Much of it was released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.The findings of the two studies were published last month in Nature magazine. They suggest there is limited value in planting trees to reduce the carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere.Forest planting has been a part of negotiations on a world agreement to reduce greenhouse gases that scientists believe cause global warming. The United States, Canada, Japan andsome other industrial countries have supported the idea. But this new research suggests the idea is not as effective as environmental activists had thought. Scientist Ram Oren of Duke University led the study on tree growth. He says that earlier estimates on the ability of forests to absorb carbon dioxide were overly hopeful.Some scientists not involved in the studies say the research provides some of the first evidence on how trees react to carbon dioxide. Other scientists say the research disputes a belief among some coal and power companies. The companies say that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will not create harmful global warming. Instead, they say it will increase forests and other plants.73. What is the purpose of this passage?A. Introduce some new ideas about the relationship between trees and carbon dioxide.B. Introduce recent condition of global industrial pollution.C. Call on people to plant more trees to reduce greenhouse gases.D. Point out that power companies should be responsible for the rising levels of carbondioxide.74. Why did the researchers put trees in extra carbon dioxide in the first study?A. To learn whether trees can still absorb carbon dioxide under extreme conditions.B. To get more oxygen from these trees.C. To evaluate the maximum carbon dioxide that trees can absorb.D. To see the effect of carbon dioxide on the growth rate of these trees.75. What happened to the leaves falling from the trees in the second study?A. They broke down and the main parts turned into oxygen.B. They broke down and the carbon content had mainly turned into carbon dioxide.C. They broke down and the carbon content was mainly absorbed in the soil.D. They absorbed more carbon dioxide.76. Scientist Ram Oren thinks that common beliefs of the tree’s ability to absorb carbondioxide are ____________.A. appropriateB. pessimisticC. over-optimisticD.convincing77. The word “dispute” (Line 2, Para.6) probably refers to ____________.A. questionB. supportC. maintainD. acceptSection C （8分）Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.An attorney is an agent authorized to act for a person or concern. An attorney at law, or lawyer, is an officer of a court of law who acts as an agent in legal proceedings. This means that lawyers must serve two masters. One master is the client. Lawyers use the lawand the legal system to protect and serve the needs of clients. The other master is the law itself. Lawyers must uphold the law, which is based on the U.S. Constitution, written legislation, and past court decisions.Almost all aspiring lawyers attend a law school approved by the bar association of the state in which they want to practice. A bar association is a professional group for lawyers. The term bar is taken from the historic structure of a courtroom. A lawyer who has “passed the bar” could step beyond the bar or railing that separated members of the public from those involved in proceedings. Each state offers its own bar examination. Some states recognize attorneys qualified elsewhere, but most states require attorneys to pass that state’s bar exam before they can practice there.The law is extremely complex and changes constantly as new legislation is issued and new interpretations win favorable rulings in the courts. Every aspect of life, from artistic production and sports to taxes, is a specialty area in law. Two specialties are corporate law and criminal law.A corporate attorney handles legal matters for businesses. Much of this work involves affairs such as employment contracts, arrangements for loans, rental agreements, and joints with other companies. Sometimes businesses must appear in court, in which case they need a corporate attorney who is also a litigator (律师诉讼人). Litigation is a conflict that is taken to court. A litigator files the lawsuit and helps the client resolve the conflict, either by negotiating a settlement or by presenting arguments in court.（Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.）78. The two masters lawyers must serve are ___________________________________________.79. What is the function of the bar or railing?___________________________________________________________________________.80. With constant changing of the law, ___________________________ is a specialty area in law.81. How can a corporate attorney help the client to settle the problem?___________________________________________________________________________.第Ⅱ卷（47分）I.
