a whole.It is what the18th-century Scottish economist Adam Smith described as the “invisible hand”.But evolutionary biologists have come to see cooperation and selflessness as a big part of our__26__as a species.During the course of our evolution,they point out,cooperative groups__27__outcompeted groups of cheats.So we are inherently cooperative when operating within our own groups.We have also__28__social mechanisms to reinforce actions that benefit the group.“You could say teamwork at the scale of small groups is the signature__29__of our species,”says evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson from Binghamton University in New York.But__30__teamwork can include a competition mechanism to promote actions that benefit the group,particularly in larger groups.It’s also important to remember that in-group cooperation evolved partly in response to competition between groups.This evolutionary perspective is radically new to economics,and it could be relevant to grand-scale economic problems that require solutions involving cooperation between nations.Take the challenge of getting nations to work together over economic solutions to climate change—a__31__focus in the run-up to climate negotiations in Paris,France, later this year.This is a gargantuan(巨大的)problem from any perspective,but it is__32__an issue of coordination for the sake of the common good at a massive scale,says Wilson,“The challenge is therefore to___33__at larger scales the coordination and control takes place more spontaneously at smaller scales,”he says—from multicellular(多细胞的)organisms to village-sized groups of humans.“Morality evolved out of cooperation within and competition between groups,so when acting as a single group to tackle global problems we will have to__34__the role of natural selection ourselves,”Wilson says.This might involve pursuing a wide variety of__35__,identifying those that work best,and then creating incentives to cooperate on implementation.“In some ways it’s the opposite of the invisible hand.”A)adaptation I)particularB)assume J)promptlyC)compel K)remarkableD)consistently L)rumorE)developed M)strategiesF)effective N)successG)essentially O)suspicionH)implementSection BDirections:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.Self-publishing[A]To a writer,self-publishing is an incredibly powerful and alluring concept.On the simplest level,it’s an intriguing solution to an age old problem:How do you get your words to a wide audience(ideally,while earning some money along the way)?On a more artistic level,it is a unique extension of the creative process.Beyond putting words on the page,the self-publisher actually controls every aspect of authoring—he or she creates the physical book and actively brings it to anaudience.It’s a uniquely harmonious and satisfying melding of art and business.Beginning the book[B]In most cases,the first step in self-publishing is developing an idea for your book.You can self-publish almost anything you want,but if you want to make a profit,it helps to consider your book not just as a piece of art but also as a sellable product.What audience is interested in the subject and how do you get their attention?[C]Everybody has an opinion on what sells,and we won’t get into too much here—it’s part of the individual creative process that self-publishers go through.The important point is that as a self-publisher,you have to consider sales just as a large publisher would.Step one is arriving at an approach to the book that will make it valuable to an audience.Among other things,that means seeing what similar books are out there,and seeing how they’ve sold(checking Amazon rankings is a good place to start).[D]Money isn’t everything of course.Few books are going to be blockbusters(一鸣惊人者),and many self-publishers aren’t that concerned with making money at all.But even setting profit aside,it is essential that you have a business plan based on what you reasonably believe you can sell.To put it another way,there’s no point in printing10,000books if books like yours typically take three years to sell1,000copies.What sort of book?[E]You certainly don’t need to know exactly how many pages your book is going to be before you even get started writing.But if you have a target,and you know what type of book you’re creating,you can plan your budget accordingly. The broad decision first:Do you want a hardback book or a trade paperback book?Hardback books are significantly more expensive to print,and because of the higher cover price,may sell less than a paperback book.But,for some books—a mammoth(巨大的)textbook,say—hardback books are really the only way to go.[F]After you’ve made this decision,you can decide how many pages you’ll want.Think about the scope of what you have to say and look at the page count in books with similar content.But also think about what you want the book to feel like.Simply pick out a book that is about the same size and format of what you have in mind.[G]When you find a good model to shoot for,count the number of words per page.Multiply that by the number of pages.Then subtract words for any“odd pages”—the first and last pages of each chapter(these aren’t usually filled),any blank numbered pages and any pages at the beginning and end of the book.This will give you a rough word count for the book.If you calculate how many words are on a page in your word processing program(or paper if you use a typewriter or if you write longhand),you can give yourself a target page count.[H]Why does this matter?For one thing,you need to think about the psychology of a book-buyer.If you’re looking to create a gift book paperback,you don’t want a massive500-page volume,because it may feel too much like a reference encyclopedia(百科全书).Its intended audience has more of a casual interest,so it should have a lighter feel.But if you’re putting together a how-to guide,a100-page book isn’t going to seem like a good deal to your potential customer.They’ll pick the thicker book on the shelf next to yours,because it seems more substantial.[I]Price also plays a role here More pages cost more,and certain multiples of pages are cheaper than others.Printing presses print a set number of pages in one pass—typically32pages,front and back.This means it’s substantially cheaper to print a320page book than a321page book.This isn’t something you have to figure out right away,but it should be a factor when you are laying out the finished book.Creating content[J]Once you nail down what kind of book you want to end up with,you can get busy writing.The obvious way to go about this is to shut the door to the world,write whatever you want and worry about editing down the line.Show your friends and family when you want to,but otherwise,do it however you like.You don’t have a publisher to worry about,so you can really write however you want to.[K]To many self-publishers,this doesn’t work very well—it’s too unstructured,and they get lost without somebody to bounce ideas off.One solution is to hire a freelance(自由职业者)developmental editor.A developmental editor serves the same basic function as the editor you would work with at a publishing house—you can show them drafts and outlines,and they can make edits to improve the book.The difference of course is that what you say is the last word,rather than the other way around.Ideally,the main thing they bring is expertise in book publishing—a developmental editor should be somebody who knows how to build a good book.[L]The price of a developmental editor goes in your total budget for the book.Depending on how you work,it maysave you enough of your own time to make it a worthwhile expense.Selling[M]When you finally reach your publish date,you have one basic job:Get people to buy your book.For individual book-buyers,this is pretty simple.They pay the cover price,you record the transaction and you ship or give them the books. But individual book-buyers are the smallest piece of your customer base.Your major customers include independent bookstores,wholesalers who fill orders from many bookstores(They only buy what they need or expect they will need.),distributors who buy books to actively resell them to bookstores,exclusive distributors,who will handle everything involved in the selling of your book,in exchange for the exclusive right to distribute,and online booksellers.[N]Two new factors enter the mix with these customers—discounts and returns.To ensure a profit,booksellers always buy books well below the cover price,and most reserve the option to return books they cannot sell.If the books are undamaged,you must refund the buyers’money.You’ll need a terms-and-conditions sheet that outlines,in detail,how you’ll operate your business—what kind of discounts you offer,how you handle returns,how you handle billing,etc.Your terms and conditions are up to you,but you’ll have to treat particular types of buyers a certain way in order to do business.[O]Selling is an ongoing process that can last for years.When you run through your first shipment,and there’s still demand,you go to the printer for your next shipment.If your book really catches on,you may be able to land a good deal with a larger publisher who can push your sales to a higher level.Over the years,many successful authors have used this road to get on a publisher’s radar.[P]The sweet spot of writing is generally at the beginning of the process—when you’re sitting at a keyboard putting your ideas into words.In contrast,the sweet spot to publishing generally comes after all the work is done—when you’ve recouped(弥补)your initial costs,and every book sold is money in your pocket.This is a self-publisher’s ultimate reward.36.Although selling is an ongoing process,the author’s success depends on the readers’demand.37.Hardback books cost much to print,but it is a must for the publication of certain books.38.A developmental editor will be worthy of the money because he is able to save the time of the self-publisher.39.Self-publishing becomes an interesting idea partly because it get authors’thoughts to a wide audience.40.To solve the problem of lacking feedbacks from others,a developmental editor may be employed.41.Self-publishers have to decide what book will sell well according to their own opinions.42.When planning the details of his discounts and returns,a self-publisher needs to work out different ways to treat particular types of buyers.43.To give a target page count,you have to choose a book with the same size and format of what you have in mind.44.If a self-publisher wants his book to cost less,certain multiples of pages should be available.45.Individual buyers,like the wholesalers and distributors,should be considered as major customers of self-publishers. Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.It began with some marshmallows(棉花软糖).In the1960s Walter Mischel,a psychologist then working at Stanford University,started a series of experiments on young children.A child was left alone for15minutes with a marshmallow or similar treat,with the promise that,if it remained uneaten at the end of this period,a second would be added.Some of the children,who were aged four or five at the time,yielded to temptation before time was up.Others resisted,and held out for the reward.Dr.Mischel then followed the children’s progress as they grew up.Those who had resisted,he found,did better at school than those who had given in.As adults they got better jobs,were less likely to use drugs and got into trouble with the law less frequently.Moreover,children’s family circumstances suggested that impulsive behavior was as much learned as inherited.This suggested that it could be unlearned—improving the child in question’s chances in life.Study after study has confirmed Dr.Mischel’s insight.However,recent observations,however,raise the possibility that developing self-control is not always an unalloyed(纯粹的)good.Work published two years ago by Gene Brody of the University of Georgia,who looked at a group of young black Americans,showed that those who exhibited self-control as teenagers did indeed get the expected benefits.But if such self-controllers came from deprived backgrounds,they developed higher blood pressure,were more likely to be obese and had higher levels of stress hormones than their less-self-controlled peers.That correlation did not apply to people who started farther up the social ladder.Dr.Brody and his colleagues have followed this study with one that comes to an equally astonishing conclusion:for people born at the bottom of the social heap,self-control speeds up the process of ageing.Dr.Brody and his colleagues followed almost300black American teenagers of different backgrounds as they aged from17to22.For the first few years the researchers assessed their volunteers’levels of self-control,and also looked for signs of depression,aggression and drug use.They assessed,too,those volunteers’socioeconomic backgrounds.But the last examination,when participants were22years old,was different.Then,the researchers took a blood sample,recorded the DNA-methylation(DNA甲基化)patterns of cells in it,and worked out how much these deviated from the pattern expected at that particular age.As the study shows,for people from high-status backgrounds,higher self-control meant lower cellular ages.For those background was low-status,the reverse was true.Dr.Brody’s findings are both intriguing and worrying.The research into gene methylation suggests changing methylation patterns are a common response to changing circumstances as well as changing age,as the body’s physiology struggles to keep up.Fortunately,people can change their circumstances in rational ways:the lesson of the marshmallows shows that.If Dr.Brody’s result is confirmed,the challenge it poses will be to work out how to avoid the adverse effects of self-control.46.Which of the following is true of Dr.Mischel’s experiment?A)It probed into the self-control level of little children.B)It showed that most children couldn’t resist temptation.C)It exhibited that self-control connects with life achievement.D)It found out a way to help children develop self-control.47.Dr.Brody’s new study with young black Americans reveals that_______.A)developing self-control is not beneficial at allB)teenagers can benefit from developing self-controlC)the effect of self-control relates to social backgroundD)self-control causes high blood pressure and obesity48.What can we infer about DNA-methylation from the passage?A)It can reveal levels of self-control.B)It relates to the physiological age.C)It is one of the ingredients of blood.D)It changes with social circumstance.49.What can we know about Dr.Brody’s findings?A)They are out of the expectation of the researchers.B)They reveal a connection between gene and age.C)They contradict with the results of Mischel’s study.D)They raise a new issue for research in the future.50.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?A)Social Background and Self-control B)What Benefits Will Self-control Bring?C)How Should We Develop Self-control?D)Probing the Effects of Self-controlPassage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.Marketplace or peer-to-peer(P2P)lending matches borrowers on low-cost online platforms.By skirting banks,P2P lending allows borrower and lender alike to achieve better rates of interest.Essentially,P2P lending is a way of capitalizing on the network effect of social media and the volumes of data generated therein to allow cheaper access to capital.According to Liberum,P2P lending in the U.K.will grow at98percent year-on-year in2015,with£3.5billion presently lent out.Worldwide in2015,it’s estimated that$77billion will be lent via P2P platforms—$60billion China,$12 billion U.S.A.and$5billion U.K.Morgan Stanley’s Huw Steenis says,“While marketplace lending is still about1percent of unsecured consumer and SME lending in the U.S.,we think it can reach approximately10percent by2020…We forecastthe global market to grow to$150-$490billion by2020.”As Liberum’s Cormac Leech says,“We are witnessing the biggest changes to the banking sector for400years.”P2P lending offers huge opportunities,mainly at the expense of banks,whose biggest margins are traditionally in unsecured lending.Herein is the layer of fat P2P platforms are guzzling(大肆掠食的),picking off the banks’best customers. P2P platforms have also proved superior at harvesting and managing big data,and have lower cost bases than banks.A significant development is that institutional money is now alighting.The largest quoted institutional P2P lender,P2P Global Investment PLC,floated in London last year.It has raised nearly500m and aims to double that this year.As a reward for lofting“transformational”amounts of cash on to various platforms,P2P Global has been accumulating warrants and options on their equity,notably Ratesetter,Zopa,Direct Money and Lending Works.In a twist to this development,Neil Woodford,Britain’s most famous fund manager,recently upped his stake in P2P st August Woodford sold out of HSBC,fearing“fine inflation”.This seems a ringing endorsement of this disruptive but nascent(初期的)sector.Perhaps most significantly,in May this year,Zopa,the P2P platform,announced its debut in secured(most P2P lending is unsecured)lending by collaborating with Uber.Uber drivers in U.K.will be able to borrow via Zopa to buy their cars, with loans secured against the cars themselves.Of course,the sector presents risks.The credit dry-up when interest rates rise.A P2P platform may go bust.But some investors,regulatory and technological upheaval(突变).And when the banks finally understand,how will they react?Who knows?So far,none of them have.51.Liberum’s data quoted in Paragraph Two indicates that_____.A)P2P platform offers huge opportunities for banksB)P2P lending attracts the old customers of banksC)P2P has seized most share of the financial marketD)P2P lending has been experiencing fast booming52.What can we learn about P2P Global Investment PLC?A)It is the largest investment company in London.B)It has been raising huge funds for P2P lending.C)It has combined with a few famous companies.D)It has a well-known economist as its manager.53.The cooperation between Zopa and Uber has______.A)created a new way of P2P lending B)helped drivers to buy their new carsC)raised the P2P lending interest rates D)posed risks for other P2P companies54.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of P2P lending?A)Pessimistic.B)Optimistic.C)Wait-and-see.D)Indifferent.55.What’s the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A)To introduce some recent changes in lending market.B)To analyze the risks of investing with P2P platforms.C)To call for banks’attention to the development of P2P.D)To forecast the possible difficulties P2P lending may face.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet2.今天,剪纸(paper-cutting)和古代一样是一项技术性很高的艺术形式,它需要创造力、技巧和经验。

The productivity of workers in countries such as Japan and Germany is increasing. American machine tools, on average, are old, relatively inefficient, and rapidly being obsolete, whereas those of our petitors overseas, in parison, are newer and more efficient. We are no longer the most productive workers in the world. We are no longer the leaders in industrial innovation (革新). We are an immensely wealthy nation of educated men and women who seem to have lost sight of the fact that everything—from the simplest necessities to the finest luxuries—must be produced through our own collective hard work. We have e to expect automatic increases in our collective standard of living, but we seem to have forgotten that these increases are possible only when our productivity continues to grow.One thing that must change is the rate at which we substitute capital equipment for human labor. Simply put, our labor force has increased at a far greater rate than has our stock of capital investment. We seem to have forgotten that our past productivity gains, to a large extent, were realized from substitutions of capital for human labor. Today, 3 times as many robots are listed as capital assets by Japanese firms as by United States firms.There is no doubt that robots will bee a mon sight in American factories. Representing a new generation of technology, robots will replace factory labor much as the farm tractor replaced the horse. Robot technology has much to offer. It offers higher levels of productivity and quality at lowercosts; in promises to free men and women from the dull, repetitious toil of the factory, it is likely to have an impact on society parable to that made by the growth of puter technology.21. The word "obsolete"(Para. 1) most probably means_______.A. weakB. oldC. newD. out of date22. The author is anxious about_______.A. his people no longer taking the lead in industrial innovationB. his country no longer being a wealthy nationC. his people forgetting to raise their productivityD. his country falling behind other industrial nations23. According to the author, in his country_______.A. the proportion of labor force to capital investment is quite lowB. the growth rate of labor force should be greater than that of capital investmentC. the productivity increases should be achieved by the increases of labor forceD. capital investment should have increased more rapidly than labor force24. So far as the influence on society is concerned, _______.A. robot technology seems to be much more promising than puter technologyB. puter technology has less to offer than robot technologyC. robot technology can be pared with puter technologyD. robot technology cannot be pared with puter technology25. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to show that_______.A. robots will help increase labor productivityB. robots will rule American factoriesC. robots are cheaper than human laborersD. robots will finally replace humans in factories参考答案21.

He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 11 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar or curtain down the page at a predetermined speed.

As nurses, we are 26 to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral 27 any physician. We provide health teaching, assess physical as well as emotional problems, 28 patient-related services, and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that a physician’s order is inappropriate or unsafe, we have a legal 29 to question that order or refuse to carry it out.Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the profession. The emotional and 30 stress, however, that occurs due to odd working hours is a 31 reason for a lot of the career dissatisfaction. It is sometimes required that we work overtime, and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal lives, 32 our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except job-related friends and activities.The quality of nursing care is 33 dramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates, as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system. Consumers of 34 related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand changes 35 . But if trends continue as predicted, they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced, and sometimes inadequately trained nurses.PartⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section ADirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified bya letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.Millions of Americans are entering their 60s and are more concerned than ever about retirement. They know they need to save, but how much? And what exactly are they saving for—to spend more time 36 the grandkids, go traveling, or start another career? It turns out that husbands and wives may have 37 different ideas about the subject.The deepest divide is in the way spouses envisage their lifestyle in their later years. Fidelity Investments Inc. found 41 percent of the 500 couples it surveyed 38 on whether both or at least one spouse will work in retirement. Wives are generally right regarding their husbands’ retirement age, but men 39 the age their wives will be when they stop working. And husbands are slightly more 40 about their standard of living than wives are.Busy juggling (穷于应付)careers and families, most couples don’t take the time to sit down, 41 or together, and think about what they would like to do 5, 10 or 20 years from now. They2.What If Middle-Class Jobs Disappear?[A] The most recent recession in the United States began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009,according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. However, two years after the official end of the recession, few Americans would say that economic troubles are behind us. The unemployment rate, in particular, remains above 9%. Some labor market indicators, such as the proportion of long-term unemployed, are worse now than for any postwar recession.[B] There are two widely circulated narratives to explain what’s going on. The Keynesian narrativeis that there has been a major drop in aggregate demand. According to this narrative, the slump can be largely cured by using monetary and fiscal (财政地)stimulus. The main anti-Keynesian narrative is that businesses are suffering from uncertainty and over-regulation. According to this narrative, the slump can be cured by having the government commit to and follow a more hands-off approach.[C] I want to suggest a third interpretation. Without ruling out a role for aggregate demand orfor the regulatory environment, I wish to suggest that structural change is an important factor in the current rate of high unemployment. The economy is in a state of transition, in which the middle-class jobs that emerged after World WarⅡhave begun to decline. As Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee put it in a recent e-book Race Against the Machine: "The root of our problems is not that we’re in a great recession, or a great stagnation (停滞),but rather that we are in the early throes(阵痛)of a great restructuring. ’’[D] In fact, I believe the Great Depression of the 1930s can also be interpreted in part as an economictransition. The impact of the internal combustion engine(内燃机)and the small electric motor on farming and manufacturing reduced the value of uneducated laborers. Instead, by the 1950s,a middle class of largely clerical (从事文秘考必工作地)workers was the most significant partof the labor force. Between 1930 and 1950, the United States economy underwent a great transition.Demand fell for human effort such as lifting, squeezing, and hammering. Demand increased for workers who could read and follow directions. The evolutionary process eventually changed us from a nation of laborers to a nation of clerks.[E] The proportion of employment classified as "clerical workers" grew from 5.2% in 1910 to a peakof 19.3% in 1980. (However, by 2000 this proportion had edged down to 17. 4%.) Overall, workers classified as clerical workers, technical workers, managers and officials exceeded 50% of the labor force by 2000. Corresponding declines took place in the manual occupations. Workers classified as laborers, other than farm hands or miners, peaked at 11. 4% of the labor force in 1920 but were barely 6% by 1950 and less than 4% by 2000. Farmers and farm laborers fell from 33% of the labor force in 1910 to less than 15% by 1950 and only 1.2% in 2000.[F] The introduction of the tractor and improvements in the factory rapidly reduced the demand foruneducated workers. By the 1930s, a marginal farm hand could not produce enough to justify his employment. Sharecropping, never much better than a subsistence occupation, was no longer viable (可行地)。

It could also be the extra calories, fat and unhealthy eating choices that may come with (2) __________drinking.A recent study found that men consume an (3)__________ 433 calories (equivalent to a McDonald's double cheeseburger) on days they drink a moderate amount of alcohol. About 61% of the caloric increase comes from the alcohol itself. Men also report eating higher amounts of saturated fats and meat, and less fruit and milk, on those days than on days when they aren't drinking, the study showed.Women fared a bit better, taking in an extra 300 calories on moderate-drinking days, from the alcohol and eating fattier foods. But women's increase in calories from additional eating wasn't statistically significant, the study said.'Men and women ate less healthily on days they drank alcohol,' said Rosalind Breslow, an epidemiologist with the federal National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and lead author of the study. 'Poorer food choices on drinking days have public-health (4)__________,' she said.The findings dovetail with controlled lab studies in which (5)__________ generally eat more food after consuming alcohol. Researchers suggest that alcohol may enhance 'the short-term rewarding effects' of consuming food, according to a 2010 report in the journal Physiology & Behavior that reviewed previousstudies on alcohol, appetite and obesity.But other studies have pointed to a different trend. Moderate drinkers gain less weight over time than either heavy drinkers or people who abstain from alcohol, particularly women, this research has shown. Moderate drinking is (6) __________having about two drinks a day for men and one for women.'People who gain the least weight are moderate drinkers, regardless of [alcoholic] beverage choice,' said Eric Rimm, an associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard Medical School and chairman of the 2010 review of alcohol in the federal dietary (7)__________. The weight-gain difference is modest, and 'starting to drink is not a weight-loss diet,' he said.The various research efforts form part of a long-standing (8)__________ about how alcohol affects people's appetites, weight and overall health. Researchers say there aren't simple answers, and suggest that individuals' metabolism, drinking patterns and gender may play a role.Alcohol is 'a real wild card when it comes to weight management,' said Karen Miller-Kovach, chief scientific officer of Weight Watchers International. At seven calories per gram, alcohol is closer to fat than to carbohydrate or protein in caloric content, she said. Alcohol tends to lower restraint, she notes, causing a person to become more (9)__________ with what they're eating.Research bolstering the role of moderate drinking in helping to control weight gain was published in 2004 in the journal Obesity Research. That study followed nearly 50,000 women over eight years. An earlier study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology in 1994, followed more than 7,000 people for 10 years and found that moderate drinkers gained less weight thannondrinkers. Studies comparing changes in waist circumference among different groups have yielded similar results.Dr. Rimm said it isn't clear why moderate drinking may be (10)__________ against typical weight gain, but it could have to do with metabolic adjustments. After people drink alcohol, their heart rate increases so they burn more calories in the following hour.'It's a modest amount,' he said.

" More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint (强调) his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas, and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can plish this difficult job very quickly—perhaps with a two-second glance.ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others; who are known to you so you can pare the observed person's behavior with the known others' behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for, deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli (刺激因素) , asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her, and usingvarious strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person—question, self-disclosures, and so on.Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won't ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well(e. g. secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e. g. disclosures and truthful statement).21. According to the passage, if we perceive a person, we are likely to be interested inA. what he wearsB. how tall he isC. how happy he isD. what color he dyes his hair22. Some people are often surprised by what other people do.

To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In (1) -- a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend (2) -- can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are (3) -- readers.

Taken individually, words have (6) -- meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. (7) --, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to (8) -- words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over (9) -- you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which (10) -- down the speed of reading is vocalization - sounding each word either orally or mentally as (11) -- reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an (12), which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.

First, there are those words (1) -- which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we (2) --, that is to say, from the (3) -- of our own family and from our familiar associates, and (4) -- we should know and use (5) -- we could not read or write. They (6) -- the common things of life, and are the stock in trade of all who (7) -- the language. Such words may be called ―popular‖, since they belong to the people (8) -- and are not the exclusive (9) -- of a limited class. On the other hand, our language (10) -- a multitude of words which are comparatively (11) -- used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little (12) -- to use them at home or in the market-place. Our (13) -- acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's (14) -- or from the talk of our school-mates, (15) -- from books that we read, lectures that we (16) --, or the more (17) -- conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular (18) -- in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual (19) -- of everyday life.

The averageprice of a 6 made car was ,050 in 1950, ,470 in 1960 and up to ,750 7 1975.During this period American car manufacturers set about 8 their products and work efficiency. As a result, the yearly income of the 9 family increased from 1950 to 1975 10 than the price of cars. For this reason 11 a new car takes a smaller 12 of a family’s total earnings today.

Many parents buy their children a cell phone which gives those working parents a little sense of control and security to know their children's location and conditions.Although cell phones bring great convenience to the users, they have some obvious disadvantages. Some students tend to be "cell phone-addicted" even chatting on the phone and sending text messages in class, which will certainly affect their academic achievement. Moreover, they may be facing a frightening bill at the end of the month. Worse still, cell phones in schools can lead to classroom distractions, text-message cheating and even privacy release.As college students with the main task of study, we should definitely say No to cell phones in class. Besides, parental control and teachers'supervision must be exercised in the use of the phone. Only in this way can the students be the masters of the active class instead of the slaves to cell phones.Part II Listening Comprehension1 ,,..____ 5 : ABABC16 r--..,,, 20 : ACCBDSection AConversation One6 r--...,, 1 O: BBCBC21r--...,,25 : ABDDC11,,,____,15 : CAADDW: Good afternoon, Dr. Bishop.
