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.Hong Kong is part of China, but it is like China? Overseas employers and students might say yes,51 , more than 17 years have passed since the former British colony’s return to the mainland. But business schools in Hong Kong insist that an education in the special administrative region is so different that student should place it in a different 52 .The studentThere are 53 differences between Hong Kong Chinese student and their mainland counterparts, TJ Wong, dean of CUHK Business School at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He says his school attracts the cream of the crop from China who have very strong fundamental skills in English, Chinese and mathematics. Hong Kong Chinese students, adds Prof.Wong, tend to have a stronger global view and are more willing to speak out in class. Mainland student tend to value listening to their superiors more, he says.Sachin Tipnis, executive director of MBA programmes at the University of Hong Kong, notes that mainland and Hong Kong Chinese students bring vastly different backgrounds to the classroom. Many Hong Kong students work in the financial services industry and they also have more 54 to the whole region. Mainland Chinese students are not only more country specific, he says, they also have different corporate backgrounds. “In Hong Kong, not many people are 55 to manufacturing,” he points out.Sean Ferguson, associate dean of masters programmes at HKUST Business School, also thinks Hong Kong students have a broader 56 , but says HKUST has made efforts to recruit (征召) mainland Chinese students who will not be reticent (沉默寡言的) about contributing. “Five to 10 years ago that was 57the stereotype (典型形象)，so we changed what we’re looking for.”NetworkingMainland Chinese students represent valuable future contacts for students hoping to do business in the greater China region. Clearly, a mainland Chinese school will offer most opportunities in this respect, but mainland students also 58 between 10 per cent and 25 per cent of full-time MBA students at the three highest-ranking homegrown business schools HKU, CUHK and HKUST.Business linksHong Kong business schools admit that a school based in Shanghai or Beijing is currently a better place to learn about doing business in China.“It’s a trade-off. Obviousl y you can learn more about being there.” says Kalok Chan, acting dean of HKUST.But Hong Kong schools also say that the 59 is a good place to come to learn more about doing business with China. “We want student to remember that business is global,” says Mr. Tipnis.Southern China opportunitiesAll three schools have their eyes on southern China and say students should 60growing expertise (专业知识) in those economically prosperous provinces closest to Hong Kong, but which61 have no good business schools.CUHK appears to be ahead of its 62 in southern China. It is opening a campus in Shenzhen, north of the border with Hong Kong. The first intake of undergraduate business student will be in September.Job prospectsA significant distinguishing factor is also Hong Kong’s 63 visa environment and the widespread use of English. Mr. Tipnis says every graduate student is 64 to apply for a Hong Kong work visa. He says that 60 per cent of graduates from HKU’s business school remain and work in the region. In addition, English is widely spoken in Hong Kong and so language is not the 65 it can be for many students studying in China.51.

Thus many are convinced their dreams are prophetic (预言的) because a few have come true; they fail to notice the many that have not. Consider also the belief that “the phone always rings when I’m in the shower.” If it does ring while you are in the shower, the event will stand out and be remembered. If it doesn’t ring, that nonevent probably won’t even register (留下印象).People want to see order, pattern and meaning in the world. Consider, for example, the common belief that things like personal misfortun es, plane crashes, and deaths “happen in threes.” Such beliefs stem from the tendency of people to allow the third event to define the time period. If three plane crashes occur in a month,then the period of time that counts as their “happening together” i s one month; if three crashes occur in a year, the period of time is stretched. Flexible end points reinforce such beliefs.We also tend to believe what we want to believe. A majority of people think they are more intelligent, more fair-minded and more skilled behind the wheel of an automobile than the average person. Part of the reason we view ourselves so favorably is that we use criteria that work to our advantage. As economist Thomas Schelling explains, “Everybody ranks himself high in qualities he values: careful drivers give weight to care, skilled drivers give weight to skill, and those who are polite give weight to courtesy,” This way everyone ranks high on his own scale.Perhaps the most important mental habit we can learn is to be cautious (谨慎的) in drawing conclusions. The “evidence” of everyday life is sometimes misleading.66. In the first paragraph the author states that ________.A) dreams cannot be said to be prophetic even though a few have come trueB) dreams are prophetic because some of them did come trueC) dreams may come true if clearly rememberedD) dreams and reality are closely related67. By “things like...” “happen in threes” (Para. 3, Line 2), the author indicates that people believe ________.A) personal misfortunes tend to happen every now and thenB) personal misfortunes, plane crashes, and deaths usually happen togetherC) misfortunes tend to occur according to certain patternsD) misfortunes will never occur more than three times to a person in his lifetime68. Ten wo rd “courtesy” (Para. 4, line 6) probably means ________.A) good mannersB) appropriate speechC) friendly relationsD) satisfactory service69. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A) there is some truth even in the wildest dreamsB) one s hould take notice of other people’s meritsC) there is no order or pattern in world eventsD) we should not base our conclusions on accidental evidence答案:66-69ACADCStart-ford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry--William Shakespeare--but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theater on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway' s Cottage, Shakespeare's birthplace and the other sights.The worthy residents of Stafford doubt that the theater adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSC ,S actors ,them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. It's all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor(with a beard)and did his share of noise-making.The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus-and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side--don't usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theater in Stafford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sightseeing along with their play-going. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town's revenue because they spend the night(some of them four or five nights)pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall...The townsfolk don't see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stafford cries poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquet Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive.Anyway, the townsfolk can't understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. (The theater has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 per cent occupied all year long and this year they'll do better.) The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stanford's most attractive clientele. They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)--lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theater to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box of rice opens at 10:30am.From the first two paragraph, we learn that ______A．the townsfolk deny the RSC' s contribution to the town's revenueB．the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stageC．the two branches of the RSC are not on good termsD．the townsfolk earn little from tourismIt can be inferred from paragraph 3 that ______A. The sightseers cannot visit the castle and the placed separatelyB. The playgoers spend more money than the sightseersC. the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoersD. The playgoers go to no other places in town than theaterAccording to the townsfolk the RSC deserve no subsidy because_______A.ticket prices can be raised to cover the spendingB. The company is financially ill-managedC. The theater attendance is on the riseD. The behavior of the actors is not socially acceptableFrom the text we can conclude the author______A.is supportive of both sideB.Favors the town-folks viewC.Take a detach attitudeD.Is sympathetic to the RSCKey ABCBSection cIf your resolutions for the new year are typical, they probably include a determination to lose weight. But if your are like most Americans ,any success you have losing pounds will be short-lived ，and you will end the year weighing more than you do right now.So why are Americans obsessed with weight loss? Many people say they want to loss weight to improve their health, but this may not actually be their primary motivation .In one of the more interesting polls I have seen ,more than three fourths of the 231 dieters surveyed said they would take a pill that would achieve or maintain their desired weight even if it would lower their life expectancy. On average, they were willing to give up 5.7 years.These findings may seems puzzling, but they are not so surprising when you consider weight-loss attempts for what they really are: efforts to protect against weight- based discrimination. Yale researchers have shown that weight discrimination has increased dramatically in the last decades especially among women. Multiple studies have documented weight bias in employment, education and public spaces---unequal treatment based on labeling fat people as lazy ,unmotivated ,and lacking self-discipline and competence .Heavy women are routinely ridiculed in advertisements, television and films.Of course ,there are genuine health risks associated with higher body mass .The clearest case is that of Type 2 diabetes ,which becomes more likely as weight goes up. Yet as many medical researchers have pointed out, this association may not be causal. It has become increasingly clear that the link between weight and health is complicated. In some cases ,higher body mass seems to protect against death rate .For instance, there is growing evidence documenting an “obesity paradox(肥胖矛盾)”，in which elevated body mass is associated with lower death rate among people with heart disease and among those with Type 2 diabetes. But it is clear that anti-fat bias in and of itself has a serious effect on public health in ways many may not suspect. Fear of ridicule leads many heavier women to avoid exercising in public or even—when they are very heavy –to avoid leavingtheir homes, depriving themselves of social interaction. And the fear of becoming fat can lead women of all sizes to develop eating disorders that can diminish their lives and be dangerous to their health. What should be done about weight-based discrimination? The answer is to call for increasing tolerance and appreciation of different body types .This year ,before starting yet another diet, ask yourself why you want to lose weight .If it is to improve your health, perhaps you should focus on health-enhancing behaviors that are more directly linked to health.(NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78.According to some interesting polls ,what actually may be people’s primary motivation to lose weight?To achieve or maintain their desired weight.79.Why do many people in America take the risk of lowering their life expectancy to lose weight?To protect against weight- based discrimination.80.Fat people are thought of as _______________________________________, which results in the unequal treatment of them.lazy ,unmotivated ,and lacking self-discipline and competence81.No doubt that anti-fat bias has a bad effect on public health because they stop fat people_________________________________________.From living a normal life .翻译1.we must bear in mind that the past ,if not forgotten ,can be served as a guide for the future.2.Let your laptop and the cable on the table connected and you can open the internet browser.3.There is over pursuit of luxury and waste among people now days ,Chinese virtue of thrifty is abandoned behind their mind,4.His progress was depended on more inner emotions a nd motivations than outside or others’ encouragement.5.Only when the test-oriented education is transformed into quality-oriented education can students have chances to develop their ability in various fields.II.
