Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.In a bid to control the nation's growing problem with food wastage, the South Korean government has started a unique initiative - "Pay as You Trash". As of now, the South Korean government has three methods (21)______ place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through a RFI card. When users tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the lid(盖子) will open, allowing them to dump their waste. The waste (22)______(weigh) automatically and a bill is recorded in the user's account which the user needs to settle on a monthly basis. Each RFI bin costs $1,500 and (23)______ serve 60 households.The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. These specially designed bags are priced based on volume. There's also an electronic management system, (24)______ residents put food waste directly into the bin and pay for it by purchasing a special tag (25)______(attach) to the bin.Every household in South Korea is subject to one of these payment systems. (26)______ the new payment method affects you depends totally on how much food you throw away. Whateversystem you use, you are sure to feel the pain of food waste. The more food you throw out, the more you end up (27)______(pay).And it's working. Residents like Seoul housewife Ms. Kwan have found it necessary to adopt innovative methods to avoid food waste. She picks (28)______ wet out of leftover food before throwing it away. She also separates fresh produce and other food items into (29)______(small) portions so that only the required amount is used up per meal. “(30)______ ______ ______ the fees can be reduced, I'm willing to adopt any innovative method to avoid food waste,” she said.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The party may actually be the last stronghold of the dress code, a tradition that is increasingly falling out of ___31___ everywhere, from the workplace to the school. As the power of choice ___32___ away from the institution and toward the individual, the idea of any establishment deciding what is and is not appropriate dress, when dress is so deeply mixed with personal identity, seems increasingly ___33___.So why do so many hosts think a dress code is a good idea?On the one hand, it does help reduce guests’ confusion and insecurity about what to wear to a special event. And it can help give a party a festive ___34___. There’s something very fun about fancy dresses of a theme. Also, if there are photos involved, a certain ___35___ in dress can create a clear visual effect for the photos.On the other hand, if the dress code is too unspecific, it only adds to the general what-to-wear confusion, with “dress to impress” being a case in point. Sometimes it involves dresses that seem ___36___ to an individual’s sense of style. Either way, you will feel ___37___ between pleasing your host and pleasing yourself.When I asked the designer Ulla Johnson about the issue, she admitted that she demanded a dress code at her wedding: everyone in white. But she also said she wasn’t ___38___ at all when some guests asked to be an exception to the rule.“At this point, I would say dress codes can be ___39___ interpreted,” she said. “Putting on something you don’t love because it obeys a code should be off the table.”In other words, a party dress code is not the same as a school uniform. It can be ___40___ to fit each individual. Honey Dijon, the D.J. and musician, likewise believes that open interpretationsof dress codes are generally expected, though she has her own solution to the dress code issue.“Choose something that is related to the theme, such as a shoe or a bag,” she said. “That way, the host is satisfied and you still feel confident.”III. 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.According to a Gallup World Poll, 1.1 billion people want to move temporarily to another country in the hope of finding more profitable jobs. An additional 630 million people would like to move abroad permanently.The global desire to leave home arises from poverty and necessity, but it also grows out of a belief that such mobility is possible. People who hold fast to this universal ___41___ assume that individuals can and should be feel at home anywhere in the world and that they need not be ___42___ to any particular place. This view was once regarded as a negative product of the industrialization but is now accepted as central to a(n) ___43___ economy.It leads to opportunity and profits, but it also has high ___44___ costs. According to a long research into the emotions and experiences of immigrants(移民) and migrants, many people who leave home in search of better prospects can’t avoid feeling ___45___ although few speak openly of the substantial pain of leaving home.Such tolerance of emotional suffering became common among mobile Americans in the 20th century, and represented a(n) ___46___ from the past. In the 19th century, Americans of all groups, pioneers, soldiers and the millions of immigrants who streamed into the nation, loudly complained that moving was emotionally ___47___.Medical journals explored the condition, often referring to it by its clinical name: nostalgia(思乡).Today, discussions of nostalgia are rare, for the emotion is typically regarded by individuals as an embarrassing block to progress and prosperity. The ___48___ makes mobility appear misleadingly easy.Technology also tricks us into thinking that mobility is ___49___. The comforting vision of ___50___ offered by technology makes moving seem less consequential, since “one is always just a mouse click or a phone call away”.But such a claim was ___51___ optimistic, for homesickness continued to hurt many who migrated. The ___52___ that phone calls and the Internet provide means that those away from home can know exactly what they are missing the exact moment and how it is happening. It gives the impression that one can be in two places at once but it also highlights the ___53___ of thatassumption.The persistence of homesickness points to the limitations of the universal philosophy that strengthens so much of our market and society. The idea that we can and should feel at home any place on the globe is based on a worldview that celebrates the independent, mobile individual and takes it for granted that men and women are easily separated from family, from home and from the past. But this view isn’t ___54___ our emotions, for our attachment to home, although often ___55___, is strong and enduring.41. A. subject B. wealth C. vision D. exchange42. A. transferred B. tied C. reduced D. bridged43. A. globalized B. intense C. exporting D. degrading44. A. transporting B. domestic C. psychological D. administrative45. A. displaced B. suspected C. abused D. monitored46.A. guidance B. emergency C. departure D. justification47. A. misleading B. wearing C. resisting D. facilitating48. A. silence B. restriction C. obstacle D. emotion49. A. temporary B. traditional C. painless D. formal50. A. priority B. alert C. connection D. privacy51. A. overly B. ultimately C. critically D. narrowly52. A. advancement B. suffering C. immediacy D. variety53. A. impossibility B. diversity C. distraction D. scale54. A. in line with B. in addition to C. in honor of D. in need of55. A. distributed B. underestimated C. illustrated D. identifiedSection BDirections: 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)I still had a few minutes, so l swung into the cafeteria to grab a coffee. That's when I spotted him: a threatening-looking punk rocker with biker leathers and black leather boots.Honestly, his look scared me, so l quickly went out trying to avoid a potential encounter.It was 1988, and I was a “mature" journalism student, heading to my favorite elective: Sociology-Study of Deviance. Our gray-haired professor was a straight shooter. He usually brought in guest speakers who represented “deviance”. Our guest speakers included an outlandish dancer, a tarot-card reader or even an alcohol addict. And when I was curious that day to see who this session’s speaker was, “Mr. punk rocker” walked in.He started to talk in a soft voice and told us he was a university student, who lived with his grandma who needed help in every aspect. Therefore, he moved in with her and helped with the cooking and shopping, cleaning and laundry. He made sure she took her meds and tried to make her laugh at least once a day. He described it as a “win-win” for both of them, but l suspected that it was a lot tougher than he made it sound.And then he said: “l just figure it’s normal for you to feel negative about me because of the way l look. But isn’t that the reason for the existence of such a course named Study of Deviance?”Wow. Just wow.“It's hair and clothing," he said. “I don’t plan to look this way forever, but for now l like it, and do you think it makes me deviant?”Every so often, I think about that young man. He'd be about fifty now and couldn’t realize how he influenced me. Because of his visit that day, my kids were allowed to wear whatever they wanted, as long as it was relatively clean and not morally abusive. They are upright and kind kids although they sometimes surprise us with red hair or strange trousers. And I am also happy that I do my selective of Sociology-Study of Deviance well.56. The underlined word deviance in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.A. dressing.B. styleC. abnormalityD. maturity57. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the guest speaker is TRUE?A. He was dressed in a frightening way on purpose in order to surprise the students.B. He recognized the author and tried to tutor her during the session.C. He wasn’t aware that many people misjudged him.D. His behaviors didn’t match the appearance he presented.58. Why does the author think she does the course well?A. Because she has learned to enjoy varied fashion styles.B. Because she didn’t miss any of the course sessions.C. Because she knows appearance doesn’t equal one’s quality.D. Because she understands how to educate her kids.(B)The world hosts thousands of exceptional chocolatiers, some of which our magazine is to present to you. And remember that besides ordinary facts like expiration (过期) date or manufacture place, labels bear essential information. If sugar is listed as the main ingredient(原料) on the label, quickly put it down and find a bar in which cocoa shines.Paul Young, London, EnglandAward-winning master chocolatier Paul Young deserves the credits he receives for hiscreativity and mastery with chocolates. Walk into his shop and experience the scent of fresh chocolates. Young is one of the figures who launched the chocolate reform in London, casting aside the sweet British chocolate of the old for the innovative dark chocolate offerings. Try his dark chocolate bars to become a firm chocolate lover.Three locations in London.Que Bo!, Mexico City, MexicoTraditional Mexican flavors come alive in Que Bo! Que Bo! uses only organic ingredients sourced from local producers. Colored truffles(松露) match their star ingredients, such as orange, mango or salt. A major attraction is its open air courtyard shops.Five locations in Mexico City.SOMA Chocolate maker, CanadaThese Toronto chocolate experts present pure chocolate bars made with beans from around the world. The fir truffles, symbolic of the Canadian pines, combine fruity cocoa and natural oils from the fir trees to give the experience of eating chocolate in a pine forest. SOMA also highlights their expertise(专长) in goods like whiskey and ice cream, which serves as its major selling point providing customers with other choices besides chocolates.Two stores and a lab in downtown Toronto.Sprüngli, Zurich, SwitzerlandWith colorful displays of chocolate truffles and sweets, Sprüngli offers the traditional high-end Swiss chocolate experience. This luxury chocolate shop first opened its doors in 1836, the first in Europe according to some. Today, Sprüngli is acclaimed for the chance it offers customers to enjoy coffee and cake in its second-floor café, making the shop a complex of flavor treat.Numerous locations in Zurich.SpagNVola, United StatesSpagNVola husband-and-wife owners oversee entire chocolate process from farm to store, making the shop stand out.

Why do customers need to pay attention to chocolate labels?A. Because only chocolates from the mentioned shops are high quality.B. Because ingredient list should be checked to guarantee the quality of the chocolate.C. Because the price will be listed on the label.D. Because the expiration date is sometimes missing.(C)As Christmas approached, the price of turkey went wild. It didn’t rocket, as some might suggest. Nor did it crash. It just started waving. We live in the age of the variable prices. In the eyes of sellers, the right price—the one that will draw the most profit from consumers’ wallets—has become the focus of huge experiments. These sorts of price experiments have become a routine part of finding that right price.It may come as a surprise that, in buying a pie, you might be participating in a carefully designed social-science experiment. But this is what online comparison shopping has brought. Simply put, the convenience to know the price of anything, anytime, anywhere, has given us, the consumers, so much power that sellers—in a desperate effort to regain the upper hand, or at least avoid extinction—are now staring back through the screen. They are trying to “comparison shopping” us.They have enough means to do so: the huge data tracks you leave behind whenever you place something in your online shopping cart with top data scientists capable of turning the information into useful price strategies, and what one tech economist calls “the ability to experiment on a scale that’s unimaginable in the history of economics.”In result, not coincidentally, normal pricing practices—an advertised discount off the “list price,” two for the price of one, or simply “everyday low prices” are giving way to far more crazystrategies.“In the internet era, I don’t think anyone could have predicted how complicated these strategies have become,” says Robert Dolan, a professor at Harvard. The price of a can of soda in a vending machine can now vary with the temperature outside. The price of the headphones may depend on how budget-conscious your web history shows you to be. The price may even be affected by the price of the mobile phone you use for item search. For shoppers, that means price—not the one offered to you right now, but the one offered to you 20 minutes from now, or the one offered to me, or to your neighbor—may become an increasingly unknowable thing. “There used to be one price for something,” Dolan notes. Now the true price of pumpkin-pie spice is subject to a level of uncertainty.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. When holidays come, prices are usually increased.B. The right price to sellers is the one to bring biggest profits.C. The right price is fixed although it’s hard to find it.D. To buy a pie, customers have to become an expert in economy.64. Sellers stare back through the screen in order to ______.A. reflect on the effect of the internetB. analyze customers’ online buying history for price strategyC. double check the existence of the purchaseD. find out online where the lowest prices are65. In internet age, what element is NOT likely to affect the price of an item?A. The instant mood of the buyer at the time of purchase.B. The necessity level of the item at the time of purchase.C. The extent to which the buyer is sensitive to the price.D. The price of the facility the buyer uses to look for the item.66. What is the passage mainly about?A. The advantages of online shopping over traditional shopping.B. Measures sellers take to maximize profits.C. The analysis of pricing mechanism.D. The battle between buyers and sellers in internet age.Section CDirections: 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.Recently, there’s been a lot of talk in U.S. about the “data problem.” It ought to give the “data-driven” school reformers pause to reconsider. Maybe we are just creating a bubble that too will burst if we continue to base our actions on the belief that only scores on standardized instruments are evidence of success.___67___ Margo, a famous commenter, states that at least tests are more “reliable” than professional judgment. How can she tell? We want a nation of citizens who are less ready to think that the “truth” can only be captured in one of four answers—a,b,c, or d. ___68___ But how can the general trend guarantee the reliability of the score of one particular test-taker? Some educator dares to replace these tests with professional human judgments, which must still rest on a numerical rank order based on a, b, c and d. The big problem is that there is often no technical assurance for the reliability of such exams. No wonder many big-name psychologists avoid them.All “reliability” tells us is that the student would get a similar score on a similar test if given at another time or place. But all scores on old or new tests have measurement errors. Like Wall Street’s numbers, we have no independent basis for relying on these scores. Likewise, validity is in the eye of a certain standard of judgments. How ridiculous it is to say for sure that these judgments are justified!When some parents told me that their children seemed to read well, but scored poorly, they often believed the indirect evidence, test score, and not the direct evidence, listening to their children read. Some parents had been trained to distrust judgment and rely on “real evidence”. My own 8-year-old son also used to “fail” a 3rd grade reading test even though I “knew” he could read fluently. ___69___We need schools that “train” our judgment, which help us become adults who are in the habit of bringing judgment to bear on complex phenomenon. ___70___ It also involves acknowledging that even experts must live with a substantial degree of uncertainty. Only in this way, can we, tosome extent, rely on the results of the school education in the U.S.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.The music in youAny party goer can tap her heel to an unfamiliar song without realizing it. Yet when asked on site, she might reply: “Music? I don’t know anything about that.”Maybe you’ve heard a variation on this theme: “I don’t have a musical bone in my body.” Most of us make music publicly just a few times a year, when it’s someone’s birthday and the cake comes out. Privately, it’s a different story. We belt out tunes in the shower and create rhythm tracks on our steering wheel. But when we think about musical expertise, we tend to imagine professionals who specialize in performance, people we’d pay to hear. As for the rest of us, our bumbling private efforts, rather than illustrating that we share an irresistible urge to make music, seem only to demonstrate that we don’t enjoy essential musical capacity.But the more psychologists investigate musicality, the more it seems that nearly all of us are musical experts, in quite a surprising sense. A lot of the most interesting and substantial elements of musicality are things that we all share. We aren’t talking about instinctive, inborn universals here. Our musical knowledge is the product of long experience; maybe not years spent over an instrument, but a lifetime spent absorbing music from the open window of every passing car.In fact, for all its remarkable power, music is in good company. Many of our feelings are governed by a similar rule. We don’t know how we come to like certain food more than others. We don’t know why we fall in love. Yet in the very act of making these choices we reveal the effects of a host of instinctive mental processes. The fact that we respond to music so naturally and normally actually speaks to its strength and universality.第II卷（共40分）V.

said.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can only beused once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A．favor B．contained C．unseasonable D．consistency E.shiftsF.upsetG.contradictoryH.airI.tornJ.looselyK.stretchedThe party may actually be the last stronghold of the dress code,a tradition that is increasingly falling out of____11____everywhere,from the workplace to the school.As the power of choice____12____away from the institution and toward the individual,the idea of any establishment deciding what is and is not appropriate dress,when dress is so deeply mixed with personal identity,seems increasingly____13____.So why do so many hosts think a dress code is a good idea?On the one hand,it does help reduce guests’confusion and insecurity about what to wear to a special event.And it can help give a party a festive____14____.There’s something very fun about fancy dresses of a theme.Also,if there are photos involved,a certain____15____ in dress can create a clear visual effect for the photos.On the other hand,if the dress code is too unspecific,it only adds to the generalwhat-to-wear confusion,with“dress to impress”being a case in point.Sometimes it involves dresses that seem____16____to an individual’s sense of style.Either way,you will feel____17____between pleasing your host and pleasing yourself.When I asked the designer Ulla Johnson about the issue,she admitted that she demanded a dress code at her wedding:everyone in white.But she also said she wasn’t____18____at all when some guests asked to be an exception to the rule.“At this point,I would say dress codes can be____19____interpreted,”she said.“Putting on something you don’t love because it obeys a code should be off the table.”In other words,a party dress code is not the same as a school uniform.It can be_____20_____to fit each individual.Honey Dijon,the D．J.and musician,likewise believes that open interpretations of dress codes are generally expected,though she has her own solution to the dress code issue.“Choose something that is related to the theme,such as a shoe or a bag,”she said.“That way,the host is satisfied and you still feel confident.”三、完形填空According to a Gallup World Poll,1.1billion people want to move temporarily to another country in the hope of finding more profitable jobs.An additional630million people would like to move abroad permanently.The global desire to leave home arises from poverty and necessity,but it also grows out of a belief that such mobility is possible.People who hold fast to this universal____21____ assume that individuals can and should be feel at home anywhere in the world and that they need not be____22____to any particular place.This view was once regarded as a negative product of the industrialization but is now accepted as central to a(n)____23____economy.It leads to opportunity and profits,but it also has high____24____costs.According to a long research into the emotions and experiences of immigrants(移民)and migrants,many people who leave home in search of better prospects can’t avoid feeling____25____although few speak openly of the substantial pain of leaving home.Such tolerance of emotional suffering became common among mobile Americans in the 20th century,and represented a(n)____26____from the past.In the19th century,Americans of all groups,pioneers,soldiers and the millions of immigrants who streamed into the nation, loudly complained that moving was emotionally____27____.Medical journals explored the condition,often referring to it by its clinical name:nostalgia(思乡).Today,discussions of nostalgia are rare,for the emotion is typically regarded by individuals as an embarrassing block to progress and prosperity.The____28____makes mobility appear misleadingly easy.Technology also tricks us into thinking that mobility is____29____.The comforting vision of____30____offered by technology makes moving seem less consequential,since “one is always just a mouse click or a phone call away”.But such a claim was____31____optimistic,for homesickness continued to hurt many who migrated.The____32____that phone calls and the Internet provide means that those away from home can know exactly what they are missing the exact moment and how it is happening.It gives the impression that one can be in two places at once but it also highlights the____33____of that assumption.The persistence of homesickness points to the limitations of the universal philosophy that strengthens so much of our market and society.The idea that we can and should feel at home any place on the globe is based on a worldview that celebrates the independent,mobile individual and takes it for granted that men and women are easily separated from family,fromhome and from the past.But this view isn’t____34____our emotions,for our attachment to home,although often____35____,is strong and enduring.21．A．subject B．wealth C．vision D．exchange 22．A．transferred B．tied C．reduced D．bridged 23．A．globalized B．intense C．exporting D．degrading

35．A．distributed B．underestimated C．illustrated D．identified四、阅读理解I still had a few minutes,so I swung into the cafeteria to grab a coffee.That’s when I spotted him:a threatening-looking punk rocker with biker leathers and black leather boots.Honestly,his look scared me,so I quickly went out trying to avoid a potential encounter.It was1988,and I was a“mature”journalism student,heading to my favorite elective: Sociology-Study of Deviance.Our gray-haired professor was a straight shooter.He usually brought in guest speakers who represented“deviance”.Our guest speakers included an outlandish dancer,a tarot-card reader or even an alcohol addict.And when I was curious that day to see who this session’s speaker was,“Mr.punk rocker”walked in.He started to talk in a soft voice and told us he was a university student,who lived with his grandma who needed help in every aspect.Therefore,he moved in with her and helped with the cooking and shopping,cleaning and laundry.He made sure she took her meds and tried to make her laugh at least once a day.He described it as a“win-win”for both of them,but I suspected that it was a lot tougher than he made it sound.And then he said:“I just figure it’s normal for you to feel negative about me because of the way I look.But isn’t that the reason for the existence of such a course named Study of Deviance?”Wow.Just wow.“It’s hair and clothing,”he said.“I don’t plan to look this way forever,but for now I like it,and do you think it makes me deviant?”Every so often,I think about that young man.He’d be about fifty now and couldn’t realize how he influenced me.Because of his visit that day,my kids were allowed to wear whatever they wanted,as long as it was relatively clean and not morally abusive.They are upright and kind kids although they sometimes surprise us with red hair or strange trousers. And I am also happy that I do my selective of Sociology-Study of Deviance well. 36．The underlined word deviance in the passage is closest in meaning to________. A．dressing.B．style C．abnormality D．maturity 37．According to the passage,which of the following statements about the guest speaker is TRUE?A．He was dressed in a frightening way on purpose in order to surprise the students. B．He recognized the author and tried to tutor her during the session.C．He wasn’t aware that many people misjudged him.D．His behaviors didn’t match the appearance he presented.38．Why does the author think she does the course well?A．Because she has learned to enjoy varied fashion styles.B．Because she didn’t miss any of the course sessions.C．Because she knows appearance doesn’t equal one’s quality.D．Because she understands how to educate her kids.The world hosts thousands of exceptional chocolatiers,some of which our magazine is to present to you.And remember that besides ordinary facts like expiration(过期)date or manufacture place,labels bear essential information.If sugar is listed as the main ingredient(原料)on the label,quickly put it down and find a bar in which cocoa shines.Paul Young,London,EnglandAward-winning master chocolatier Paul Young deserves the credits he receives for hiscreativity and mastery with chocolates.Walk into his shop and experience the scent of fresh chocolates.Young is one of the figures who launched the chocolate reform in London,casting aside the sweet British chocolate of the old for the innovative dark chocolate offerings.Try his dark chocolate bars to become a firm chocolate lover.Three locations in London.Que Bo!,Mexico City,MexicoTraditional Mexican flavors come alive in Que Bo!Que Bo!uses only organic ingredients sourced from local producers.Colored truffles(松露)match their star ingredients, such as orange,mango or salt.A major attraction is its open air courtyard shops.Five locations in Mexico City.SOMA Chocolate maker,CanadaThese Toronto chocolate experts present pure chocolate bars made with beans from around the world.The fir truffles,symbolic of the Canadian pines,combine fruity cocoa and natural oils from the fir trees to give the experience of eating chocolate in a pine forest. SOMA also highlights their expertise(专长)in goods like whiskey and ice cream,which serves as its major selling point providing customers with other choices besides chocolates.Two stores and a lab in downtown Toronto.Sprüngli,Zurich,SwitzerlandWith colorful displays of chocolate truffles and sweets,Sprüngli offers the traditional highend Swiss chocolate experience.This luxury chocolate shop first opened its doors in 1836,the first in Europe according to some.Today,Sprüngli is acclaimed for the chance it offers customers to enjoy coffee and cake in its second-floor café,making the shop a complex of flavor treat.Numerous locations in Zurich.SpagNVola,United StatesSpagNVola husband-and-wife owners oversee entire chocolate process from farm to store,making the shop stand out.First they grow cacao at their farm.The cacao is handpicked, roasted and refined in their Maryland factory before the final products are shown on its shop shelves.Take the free tour to its kitchen and experience the shop’s magic.Their70percent chocolate bars represent the true quality of good chocolate.Three outlets in U.S.39．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Young followed the old sweet chocolate fashion and created the new focus on dark chocolate.B．Que Bo!is famous for its excellent indoor atmosphere.C．Soma’s main attraction is that it offers items other than chocolates.D．Sprüngli supplies chocolates to various cafes in the country.40．What do all these chocolate shops have in common?A．Initiating the new chocolate trend.B．Combining fresh ingredients with cocoa.C．Enjoying a long history.D．Having more than one shop in its country.41．SpagNVola excels among its peers because________.A．it is run by a coupleB．it controls the whole production processC．customers can visit the shop free of chargeD．it only sells70percent pure chocolate bars42．Why do customers need to pay attention to chocolate labels?A．Because only chocolates from the mentioned shops are high quality.B．Because ingredient list should be checked to guarantee the quality of the chocolate. C．Because the price will be listed on the label.D．Because the expiration date is sometimes missing.As Christmas approached,the price of turkey went wild.It didn’t rocket,as some might suggest.Nor did it crash.It just started waving.We live in the age of the variable prices.In the eyes of sellers,the right price—the one that will draw the most profit from consumers’wallets—has become the focus of huge experiments.These sorts of price experiments have become a routine part of finding that right price.It may come as a surprise that,in buying a pie,you might be participating in a carefully designed social-science experiment.But this is what online comparison shopping has brought. Simply put,the convenience to know the price of anything,anytime,anywhere,has given us, the consumers,so much power that sellers—in a desperate effort to regain the upper hand,or at least avoid extinction—are now staring back through the screen.They are trying to “comparison shopping”us.They have enough means to do so:the huge data tracks you leave behind whenever you place something in your online shopping cart with top data scientists capable of turning the information into useful price strategies,and what one tech economist calls“the ability to experiment on a scale that’s unimaginable in the history of economics.”In result,not coincidentally,normal pricing practices—an advertised discount off the “list price,”two for the price of one,or simply“everyday low prices”are giving way to far more crazy strategies.“In the Internet era,I don’t think anyone could have predicted how complicated these strategies have become,”says Robert Dolan,a professor at Harvard.The price of a can of soda in a vending machine can now vary with the temperature outside.The price of the headphones may depend on how budget-conscious your web history shows you to be.The price may even be affected by the price of the mobile phone you use for item search.For shoppers,that means price—not the one offered to you right now,but the one offered to you 20minutes from now,or the one offered to me,or to your neighbor—may become an increasingly unknowable thing.“There used to be one price for something,”Dolan notes. Now the true price of pumpkin-pie spice is subject to a level of uncertainty. 43．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．When holidays come,prices are usually increased.B．The right price to sellers is the one to bring biggest profits.C．The right price is fixed although it’s hard to find it.D．To buy a pie,customers have to become an expert in economy.44．Sellers stare back through the screen in order to________.A．reflect on the effect of the InternetB．analyze customers’online buying history for price strategyC．double check the existence of the purchaseD．find out online where the lowest prices are45．In Internet age,what element is NOT likely to affect the price of an item?A．The instant mood of the buyer at the time of purchase.B．The necessity level of the item at the time of purchase.C．The extent to which the buyer is sensitive to the price.D．The price of the facility the buyer uses to look for the item.46．What is the passage mainly about?A．The advantages of online shopping over traditional shopping.B．Measures sellers take to maximize profits.C．The analysis of pricing mechanism.D．The battle between buyers and sellers in Internet age.五、六选四Recently,there’s been a lot of talk in U.S.about the“data problem.”It ought to give the “datadriven”school reformers pause to reconsider.Maybe we are just creating a bubble that too will burst if we continue to base our actions on the belief that only scores on standardized instruments are evidence of success.____47____Margo,a famous commenter,states that at least tests are more“reliable”than professional judgment.How can she tell?We want a nation of citizens who are less ready to think that the“truth”can only be captured in one of four answers—a,b,c,or d.____48____But how can the general trend guarantee the reliability of the score of one particular test-taker?Some educator dares to replace these tests with professional human judgments,which must still rest on a numerical rank order based on a,b,c and d.The big problem is that there is often no technical assurance for the reliability of such exams.No wonder many big-name psychologists avoid them.All“reliability”tells us is that the student would get a similar score on a similar test if given at another time or place.But all scores on old or new tests have measurement errors. Like Wall Street’s numbers,we have no independent basis for relying on these scores. Likewise,validity is in the eye of a certain standard of judgments.How ridiculous it is to say for sure that these judgments are justified!When some parents told me that their children seemed to read well,but scored poorly, they often believed the indirect evidence,test score,and not the direct evidence,listening to their children read.Some parents had been trained to distrust judgment and rely on“real evidence”.My own8-year-old son also used to“fail”a3rd grade reading test even though I “knew”he could read fluently.____49____We need schools that“train”our judgment,which help us become adults who are in the habit of bringing judgment to bear on complex phenomenon.____50____It also involves acknowledging that even experts must live with a substantial degree of uncertainty.Only in this way,can we,to some extent,rely on the results of the school education in the U.S.A．Even the technical meaning of“good tests”is open to question.B．It’s when I became a test doubter.C．Different groups of people fit different test patterns.D．On all achievement tests,we’re promised beforehand a population that fits a normal curve (曲线).E．This includes judging which expertise to“trust”and defending such choices.F．Time spent on standardized tests is,in many cases,equal to that on study.六、概要写作51．Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more e your own words as far as possible.The music in youAny party goer can tap her heel to an unfamiliar song without realizing it.Yet when asked on site,she might reply:“Music?I don’t know anything about that.”Maybe you’ve heard a variation on this theme:“I don’t have a musical bone in my body.”Most of us make music publicly just a few times a year,when it’s someone’s birthday and the cake comes out.Privately,it’s a different story.We belt out tunes in the shower and create rhythm tracks on our steering wheel.But when we think about musical expertise,we tend to imagine professionals who specialize in performance,people we’d pay to hear.As for the rest of us,our bumbling private efforts,rather than illustrating that we share an irresistible urge to make music,seem only to demonstrate that we don’t enjoy essential musical capacity.But the more psychologists investigate musicality,the more it seems that nearly all of us are musical experts,in quite a surprising sense.A lot of the most interesting and substantial elements of musicality are things that we all share.We aren’t talking about instinctive,inborn universals here.Our musical knowledge is the product of long experience;maybe not years spent over an instrument,but a lifetime spent absorbing music from the open window of every passing car.In fact,for all its remarkable power,music is in good company.Many of our feelings are governed by a similar rule.We don’t know how we come to like certain food more than others.We don’t know why we fall in love.Yet in the very act of making these choices we reveal the effects of a host of instinctive mental processes.The fact that we respond to musicso naturally and normally actually speaks to its strength and universality.___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________七、汉译英（整句）52．在烟雾的掩护下，她从边门溜走了。

Nolonger are they food - waste - recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet - food shelves arefull of delicacies crafted to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion; a number ofinternet services offer food, tailored to the pet’s individual tastes.In the business this is called “pet humanisation” -- the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family.

It’s a real illness with real causes. Depression can be triggered by stressful life events, like divorce or a death in the family. Or it can appear suddenly, for no apparent reason.Some people think you can just will yourself out of a depressio n. That’s not true. Many doctors believe that onething that may cause depression is an imbalance of serotonin -- a chemical in your body. If this happens, you may have trouble sleeping. Feel unusually sad or irritable easily. Find it hardto concentrate. Lose your appetite. Lack energy. Or have trouble feeling pleasure. These are some of the symptoms that can point to depression -- especially if they last for more than a couple of weeks and if normal, everyday life feels like to much to handle.To help fight depression, the medicine doctors now prescribe （开处方）most often is Prozac. Prozac isn’t a “happy pill”. It’s not a tranquilizer（镇静剂）. It won’t turn you into a different person.Some people do e某perience mild side effects, like upset stomach, headaches, difficulty sleeping, sleepiness, an某iety and nervousness. These tend to go away within a few weeks of starting treatment, and usually aren’t serious enough to make most people stop taking it. However, if you are concerned about a side effect, or if you develop a rash（皮疹）, tell your doctor right away. And don’t forget to tell your doctor any other medicines you are taking.Some people should not take Prozac, especially people an MAO inhibitors（单胺抑制剂）.As you start feeling better, your doctor can suggest therapy or other means to help you work through your depression. Prozac has been carefully studied for nearly 10 years. But remember, Prozac is a prescription medicine, and it isn’t right for everyone. Only your doctor can decide if Prozac is right for you -- or for someone you love. Prozac has been prescribed for more than 17 million Americans. Chances are someone you know is feeling sunny again because of it.1.All the following are true EXCEPT ____.A.It is easy to get rid of depression through tremendous determination.B.Sleep disorder is characteristic of depression symptoms.D.Depression is a psychological state taking the form of low mood.2.What can we learn about Prozac from this piece of information?A.Prozac is a newly developed drug to treat depression.B.patients who take Prozac can e某perience severe side a effects.C.A medical prescription is necessary for Prozac.D.Over 17 million Americans have been cured by Prozac.3.This piece of information is most probably ____.A.an introduction to a scientific projectB.a part of prescription drug instructionsC.a part of a research report in a medical journalD.an advertisement of a medicine for depressionLearning a second language is tricky at any age (and it only gets tougher the longer you wait to open that dusty French book). Now, in a new study, scientists have pinpointed the e某act ageat which your chances of reading fluency in a second language seems to plummet: 10.Kids may be better than adults at learning new languages for many reasons. Childre n’s brains are more plastic than those of adults, meaning they’re better able to adapt and respond to new information. “All learning involves the brain changing,” Hartshorne says, “and children’s brains seem to be a lot more skilled at changing.”1.The wor d “plummet” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaningto “____”.A.plungeB.riseC.endD.vary2.What can be inferred from Joshua Hartshorne’s words?B.Children are too young to grasp a second language.D.Adults go beyond the critical period for learning a second language.3.What might be the reason why adults can’t reach native - level fluency in a second language?A.Adults are less influenced by their mother tonguesB.Adults are only too willing to e某perience something awkward in the process.D.Adults prefer an immersive environment to a classroom in learning a second language.4.The passage is mainly about____.A.the approaches to learning a second languageB.the best age to learn a second language.C.why kids learn a second language more easily than adultsD.whether adults can learn a second language like their younger selves四、六选四Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the bo某. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Search for a Human Face for RobotsLooking for a $130,000 payday? Geomiq, a British engineering and manufacturing firm is searching for a “kind and friendly”face to be the face of a robot once it goes into production. “This will entail（需要）the selected person’s face being reproduced on potentially thousands of versions of the robots worldwide,” Geomiq says in a blog post about the project.The blog past doesn’t share age or gender parameters（参数）. 4.

Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Do We Need Art in Our LivesNo one will be surprised to hear that the arts are underfire in this day and age. We view the arts as something of a hobby, something that’s fun but certainly can’t pay the rent.If it’s not a useful skill, no wonder arts funding is being cut in schools. Do we really need art in our lives?It seems as though the loss of art in daily life is sad fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be. There are actually a lot of practical uses for art for many people. For e某ample, art therapy has helped people with a range of illnesses, both mental and physical, cope with their symptoms. Art is found almost anywhere you look in your home. Practical items, such as bedspreads, furniture or clothing, are all art forms in themselves and arouse emotions in the people interacting with them.Art also gives us insight into the world. History tells us what happened and when it happened, but it can’t tell us howthe population at large felt about it, which is where art steps in. We know a lot about how people in the past lived and worded, because their art has given us much a deep insight into their daily lives. We wouldn’t have that insight without it.So, do we need art in our lives? Many people would say no, but the art they’re thinking of is the art you see in galleries. Art is actually much more accessible and it truly needed in everyday life. It helps those in need, gives people in thefuture an idea of what life was like, and is a vital form ofself-e某pression.六、汉译英Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.学而不思犹如食而不化。
