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 by a 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.In what's probably the craziest headline I've ever written, I've reported that __26__ in livestock protection are happening with scientists painting eyes on the butts of cows. The experiment is based upon the idea that farmers who're protecting their herd from lions would shoot and kill lions in an effort to protect their livestock. While this makes a lot of sense, it results in many lion deaths that __27__ would have been unnecessary. Researchers in Australia have been __28__ and testing a method of trickery to make lions think they are being watched by the painted eyes on cow butts.This idea is based on the principle that lions and other __29__ are far less likely to attack when they feel they are being watched. As conservation areas become smaller, lions are increasingly coming into contact with human populations，which are expanding to the __30__ of these protected areas.Efforts like painting eyes on cow butts may seem crazy at first, but they could make actual headway in the fight for conservation. "If the method works, it could provide farmers in Botswana --and __31__ --with a low-cost, sustainable tool to protect their livestock, and a way to keep lions safe from being killed." Lions are __32__ ambush （埋伏）hunters, so when they feel their prey has __33__ them, they usually give up on the hunt. Researchers are __34__ testing their idea on a select herd of cattle. They have painted half of the cows with eyes and left the other half as normal. Through satellite tracking of both the herd and the lions in the area, they will be able to __35__ if their psychological trickery will work to help keep farmers fromshooting lions.A) advancesB) boundariesC) challengingD) currentlyE) determineF) devisingG) elsewhereH) neverthelessI) otherwiseJ) predatorsK) primarilyL) retortedM) spottedN) testimoniesO) wrestleSection 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 Sheet 2.Resilience Is About How You Recharge, Not How You EndureA) As constant travelers and parents of a 2-year-old, we sometimes fantasize about how much work we can do when one of us gets on a plane, undistracted by phones, friends, or movies. We race to get all our ground work done: packing, going through security, doing a last-minute work call, calling each other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have that amazing work session in flight, we get nothing done. Even worse, after refreshing our email or reading the same studies over and over, we are too exhausted when we land to soldier on with (继续处理）the emails that have inevitably still piled up.B) Why should flying deplete us? We're just sitting there doing nothing. Why can't we be tougher, more resilient (有复原力的）and determined in our work so we can accomplish all of the goals we set for ourselves? Based on our current research, we have come to realize that the problem is not our hectic schedule or the plane travel itself; the problem comes from a misconception of what it means to be resilient, andthe resulting impact of overworking.C) We often take a militaristic, "tough" approach to resilience and determination like a Marine pulling himself through the mud, a boxer going one more round, or a football player picking himself up off the ground for one more play. We believe that the longer we tough it out, the tougher we are, and therefore the more successful we will be. However, this entire conception is scientifically inaccurate.D) The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to be resilient and successful. Research has found that there is a direct correlation between lack of recovery and increased incidence of health and safety problems. And lack of recovery-whether by disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones-is costing our companies $62 billion a year in lost productivity.E) And just because work stops, it doesn't mean we are recovering. We "stop" work sometimes at 5pm, but then we spend the night wrestling with solutions to work problems, talking about our work over dinner, and falling asleep thinking about how much work we'll do tomorrow. In a study just released, researchers from Norway found that 7. 8% of Norwegians have become workaholics (工作狂）. The scientists cite a definition of "workaholism" as "being overly concerned about work, driven by an uncontrollable work motivation, and investing so much time and effort in work that it impairs other important life areas."F) We believe that the number of people who fit that definition includes the majority of American workers, which prompted us to begin a study of workaholism in the U. S. Our study will use a large corporate dataset from a major medical company to examine how technology extends our working hours and thus interferes with necessary cognitive recovery, resulting in huge health care costs and turnover costs for employers.G) The misconception of resilience is often bred from an early age. Parents trying to teach their children resilience might celebrate a high school student staying up until 3am to finish a science fair project.What a distortion of resilience! A resilient child is a well-rested one. When an exhausted student goes to school, he risks hurting everyone on the road with his impaired driving; he doesn't have the cognitive resources to do well on his English test; he has lower self-control with his friends; and at home, he is moody with his parents. Overwork and exhaustion are the opposite of resilience and the bad habits we acquire when we're young only magnify when we hit the workforce.H) As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz have written, if you have too much time in the performance zone, you need more time in the recovery zone, otherwise you risk burnout. Gathering your resources to "try hard" requires burning energy in order toovercome your currently low arousal level. It also worsens exhaustion. Thus the more imbalanced we become due to overworking, the more value there is in activities that allow us to return to a state of balance. The value of a recovery period rises in proportion to the amount of work required of us.I) So how do we recover and build resilience? Most people assume that if you stop doing a task like answering emails or writing a paper, your brain will naturally recover, so that when you start again later in the day or the next morning, you'll have your energy back. But surely everyone reading this has had times when you lie in bed for hours, unable to fall asleep because your brain is thinking about work. If you lie in bed for eight hours, you may have rested, but you can still feel exhausted the next day. That's because rest and recovery are not the same thing.J) If you're trying to build resilience at work, you need adequate internal and external recovery periods. As researchers Zijlstra, Cropley and Rydstedt write in their 2014 paper: "Internal recovery refers to the shorter periods of relaxation that take place within the frames of the work day or the work setting in the form of short scheduled or unscheduled breaks, by shifting attention or changing to other work tasks when the mental or physical resources required for the initial task are temporarily depleted or exhausted. External recovery refers to actions that take place outside of work-e.g. in the free time between the work days, and during weekends, holidays or vacations. " If after work you lie around on your bed and get irritated by political commentary on your phone or get stressed thinking about decisions about how to renovate your home, your brain has not received a break from high mental arousal states. Our brains need a rest as much as our bodies do.K) If you really want to build resilience, you can start by strategically stopping. Give yourself the resources to be tough by creating internal and external recovery periods. Amy Blankson describes how to strategically stop during the day by using technology to control overworking. She suggests downloading the Instant or Moment apps to see how many times you turn on your phone each day. You can also use apps like Offtime or Unplugged to create tech free zones by strategically scheduling automatic airplane modes. The average person turns on their phone 150 times every day. If every distraction took only 1 minute, that would account for 2. 5 hours a day.L) In addition, you can take a cognitive break every 90 minutes to charge your batteries. Try to not have lunch at your desk, but instead spend time outside or with your friends-not talking about work. Take all of your paid time off, which not only gives you recovery periods, but raises your productivity and likelihood of promotion. M) As for us, we've started using our plane time as a work-free zone, and thus time to dip into the recovery phase. The results have been fantastic. We are usually tired already by the time we get on a plane, and the crowded space and unstable internet connection make work more challenging. Now, instead of swimming upstream, werelax, sleep, watch movies, or listen to music. And when we get off the plane, instead of being depleted, we feel recovered and ready to return to the performance zone. 36.It has been found that inadequate recovery often leads to poor health and accidents.37.Mental relaxation is much needed, just as physical relaxation is.38.Adequate rest not only helps one recover, but also increases one's work efficiency.39.The author always has a hectic time before taking a flight.40.Recovery may not take place even if one seems to have stopped working.41.It is advised that technology be used to prevent people from overworking.42.Contrary to popular belief, rest does not equal recovery.43.The author has come to see that his problem results from a misunderstanding of the meaning of resilience.44.People's distorted view about resilience may have developed from their upbringing.45.People tend to think the more determined they are, the greater their success will be.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Children with attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to graduate from high school, says a new study from Duke University.The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project, a multi-site clinical trial in the U. S. that in 1991 began tracking how children developed across their lives.With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio-emotional skills and how each contributed to academic success into young adulthood.They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of academic success, and that likability by peers also had a modest effect on academic performance.By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and reading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with early attention problems obtained average reading scores at least 3% lower than their contemporaries' and grades at least 8% lower than those of their peers. This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problems continued throughout the children's academic careers. Lower reading achievement scores and grades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grades in middle school and thereby contributed to a 40% lower high school graduation rate. "The children we identified as having attention difficulties were not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺乏多动症）(ADHD), although some may have had the disorder. Our findings suggest that even more modest attention difficulties can increase the risk of negative academic outcomes", said David Rabiner, an associate dean of Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, whose research has focused on ADHD and interventions to improve academic performance in children with attention difficulties.Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade. Children not as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grades in fifth grade, while those with higher social acceptance had higher grades."This study shows the importance of so-called ‘non-cognitive' or soft skills in contributing to children's positive peer relationships, which, in turn, contribute to their academic success, " said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions to help those with attention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said."We're learning that student success requires a more comprehensive approach, one that incorporates not only academic skills but also social, self-regulatory and attention skills, " Dodge said. "If we neglect any of these areas, the child's development lags. If we attend to these areas, a child's success may reinforce itself with positive feedback loops. "46. What is the focus of the new study from Duke University?A) The contributors to children's early attention.B) The predictors of children's academic success.C) The factors that affect children's emotional well-being.D) The determinants of children's development of social skills.47. How did the researchers ensure that their findings are valid?A) By attaching equal importance to all possible variables examined.B) By collecting as many typical samples as were necessary.C) By preventing them from being affected by factors not under study.D) By focusing on the family background of the children being studied.48. What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?A) Modest students are generally more attentive thаn their contemporaries.B) There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.C) Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder accounts for most academic failures.D) Children's academic performance may suffer from even slight inattention.49. What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers?A) They do better academically. C) They are teachers' favorites.B) They are easy to get on with. D) They care less about grades.50. What can we conclude from the Duke study?A) Children's success is related to their learning environment.B) School curriculum should cover a greater variety of subjects.C) Social skills are playing a key role in children's development.D) An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.On Jan. 9, 2007, Steve Jobs formally announced Apple's "revolutionary mobile phone"—a device that combined the functionality of an iPod, phone and Internet communication into a single unit, navigated by touch.It was a huge milestone in the development of smartphones, which are now owned by a majority of American adults and are increasingly common across the globe.As smartphones have multiplied, so have questions about their impact on how we live and how we work. Often the advantages of convenient, mobile technology are both obvious and taken for granted, leaving more subtle topics for concerned discussion:Are smartphones disturbing children's sleep? Is an inability to get away from work having a negative impact on health? And what are the implications for privacy?But today, on the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, let's take a moment to consider a less obvious advantage: the potential for smartphone technology to revolutionize behavioral science. That's because, for the first time in human history, a large proportion of the species is in continuous contact with technology that can record key features of an individual's behavior and environment.Researchers have already begun to use smartphones in social scientific research, either to query people regularly as they engage in their normal lives or to record activity using the device's built-in sensors. These studies are confirming, challenging and extending what's been found using more traditional approaches, in which people report how they behaved in real life or participate in relatively short and artificial laboratory-based tasks.Such studies are just first steps. As more data are collected and methods foranalysis improve, researchers will be in a better position to identify how different experiences, behaviors and environments relate to each other and evolve over time, with the potential to improve people's productivity and wellbeing in a variety of domains. Beyond revealing population-wide patterns, the right combination of data and analysis can also help individuals identify unique characteristics of their own behavior, including conditions that could indicate the need for some form of intervention—such as an unusual increase in behaviors that signal a period of depression. Smartphone-based data collection comes at an appropriate time in the evolution of psychological science. Today, the field is in transition, moving away from a focus on laboratory studies with undergraduate participants towards more complex, real-world situations studied with more diverse groups of people. Smartphones offer new tools for achieving these ambitions, providing rich data about everyday behaviors in a variety of contexts.So here's another way in which smartphones might transform the way we live and work: by offering insights into human psychology and behavior and, thus, supporting smarter social science.51. What does the author say about the negative impact of smartphones?A) It has been overshadowed by the positive impact.B) It has more often than not been taken for granted.C) It is not so obvious but has caused some concern.D) It is subtle but should by no means be overstated.52. What is considered a less obvious advantage of smartphone technology?A) It systematically records real human interactions.B) It helps people benefit from technological advances.C) It brings people into closer contact with each other.D) It greatly improves research on human behavior.53. What characterizes traditional psychological research?A) It is based on huge amounts of carefully collected data.B) It relies on lab observations and participants' reports.C) It makes use of the questionnaire method.D) It is often expensive and time-consuming.54. How will future psychological studies benefit individuals?A) By helping them pin down their unusual behaviors.B) By helping them maintain a positive state of mind.C) By helping them live their lives in a unique way.D) By helping them cope with abnormal situations.55. What do we learn about current psychological studies?A) They are going through a period of painful transition.B) They are increasingly focused on real-life situations.C) They are conducted in a more rigorous manner.D) They are mainly targeted towards undergraduates.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.近年来，中国政府进一步加大体育馆建设投资，以更好地满足人们快速增长的健身需求。

(40 points)Text 1The measures taken by countries around the world in recent years to cut greenhouse gas emissions have fallen well short of what is needed to avoid dangerous climate change, according to research led by the International Energy Agency. The study indicates that global emissions have risen 65% since 1990, but estimates that a decrease of 51% by 2030 is needed to limit warming to 2°C above pre-industrial levels. The research also found that the number of people without electricity access in the developing world fell to 1billion for the first time last year, but that population growth could enable this to rise again. It concluded that countries must increase their use of renewable energy to meet climate targets.6. What does the research conducted by the International Energy Agency find?A. Countries worldwide have successfully reduced greenhouse gas emissions.B. Worldwide measures on greenhouse gas emissions have fallen shortof the target.C. Global emissions have declined 65% since 1990.D. The earth is unlikely to warm 2°C by 2030.7. What does the International Energy Agency suggest countries to do to meet climate targets?A. Cut greenhouse gas emissions by 65%.B. Limit warming to 2°C above industrial levels.C. Increase the use of renewable energy.D. Reduce population growth in developing countries.Text 2American drivers who want to save on their gas bills should take a good look at the country's pump prices. Although they are cheap compared with many other countries ― around half the cost in much of Europe ― they still vary widely across America, which is costing some drivers thousands ofdollars each year. The differences can be explained by a combination of tax rates, transport costs and government environmental compliance regulations. Some of the key factors affecting the prices are outlined below.- Tax rates: Each state has different rates of tax on gasoline. Federal taxes account for 18.4 cents per gallon.- Transport costs: Remote areas often have higher fuel prices due to the high cost of transporting it there.- Environmental regulations: Federal regulations require at least 10% ethanol (乙醇) to be added to the gasoline supply. However, the target is harder to meet in some regions due to a lack of refineries and pipelines.8. Why is gasoline cheaper in America than in Europe?A. Gasoline is taxed less in America.B. Transport costs are lower in America.C. Environmental regulations are stricter in America.D. There are more refineries and pipelines in America.9. What does the underlined word "outlined" in the second paragraph mean?A. DrawnB. DiscussedC. AnalyzedD. DesiredText 3Sofia Coppola, the daughter of Francis Ford Coppola, was born into a film-making family on May 14, 1971 in New York City. She made her screen debut in 1972's "The Godfather" when she was an infant, playing thebaby being christened (给...施洗礼) in the climatic Baptism (施洗礼) Massacre (大屠杀) sequence (片段). As a girl she didn't want to become an actress, citing an aversion (厌恶) to the trappings (陷阱) of the movie business. There was also the fact that her parents divorced when she was 3 years old (leading to her mother's going off to live in France and Sofia's living with her father in northern California).She studied Fine Art at the prestigious California Institute of Arts in Los Angeles, preferring painting to film-making, but also making an experimental short, "Bed Demon," in her spare time. This attracted the attention of George Lucas, who hired her to work on the final chapter of "Star Wars," "Return of the Jedi." During the production of the film, she met Spike Jonze, a director who shared her love of fashion and pop music. They were married at the tender age of 27, but soon separated because, some say, her fame eclipsed (使黯然失色) his.10. When did Sofia Coppola appear in "The Godfather"?A. In 1971.B. When she was an infant.C. When she was 3 years old.D. In the climatic sequence of the film.11. Why did Sofia Coppola study Film Art?A. She wanted to be an actress.B. She was inspired by her family.C. She wanted to be a director.D. She preferred painting to film-making.。

The experiment is based upon the idea that farmers who're protecting their herd from lions would shoot and kill lions in an effort to protect their livestock. While this makes a lot of sense, it results in many lion deaths that (27)_______ would have been unnecessary. Researchers in Australia have been (28)_______ and testing a method of trickery to make lions think they are being watched by the painted eyes on cow butts.This idea is based on the principle that lions and other (29)_______ are far less likely to attack when they feel they are being watched. As conservation areas become smaller, lions are increasingly coming into contact with human populations, which are expanding to the (30)_______ of these protected areas.Efforts like painting eyes on cow butts may seem crazy at first, but they could make actual headway in the fight for conservation. “If the method works, it could provide farmers in Botswana —and (31)_______ —with a low-cost, sustainable tool to protect their livestock, and a way to keep lions safe from being killed.”Lions are (32)_______ ambush (埋伏）hunters, so when they feel their prey has (33)_______ them, they usually give up on the hunt. Researchers are (34)_______ testing their idea on a select herd of cattle. They have painted half of the cows with eyes and left the other half as normal. Through satellite tracking of both the herd and the lions in the area, they will be able to (35)_______ if their psychological trickery will work to help keep farmers from shooting lions.Section BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.

We race to get all our ground work done: packing, going through security, doing a last-minute work call, calling each other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have that amazing work session in flight, we get nothing done. Even worse, after refreshing our email or reading the same studies over and over, we are too exhausted when we land to soldier on with (继续处理）the emails that have inevitably still piled up. [B] Why should flying deplete us? We're just sitting there doing nothing. Why can't we be tougher —more resilient (有复原力的）and determined in our work so we can accomplish all of the goals we set for ourselves? Based on our current research, we have come to realize that the problem is not our hectic schedule or the plane travel itself; the problem comes from a misconception of what it means to be resilient, and the resulting impact of overworking.[C] We often take a militaristic, “tough”approach to resilience and determination like a Marine pulling himself through the mud, a boxer going one more round, or a football player picking himself up off the ground for one more play. We believe that the longer we tough it out, the tougher we are, and therefore the more successful we will be. However, this entire conception is scientifically inaccurate.[D] The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability to beresilient and successful. Research has found that there is a direct correlation between lack of recovery and increased incidence of health and safety problems. And lack of recovery —whether by disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones —is costing our companies $ 62 billion a year in lost productivity.[E] And just because work stops, it doesn't mean we are recovering. We “stop”work sometimes at 5pm,but then we spend the night wrestling with solutions to work problems, talking about our work over dinner, and falling asleep thinking about how much work we'll do tomorrow. In a study just released, researchers from Norway found that 7.8% of Norwegians have become workaholics(工作狂）.The scientists cite a definition of workaholism ”as “being overly concerned about work, driven by an uncontrollable work motivation, and investing so much time and effort in work that it impairs other important life areas.”[F] We believe that the number of people who fit that definition includes the majority of American workers, which prompted us to begin a study of workaholism in the U.S. Our study will use a large corporate dataset from a major medical company to examine how technology extends our working hours and thus interferes with necessary cognitive recovery, resulting in huge health care costs and turnover costs for employers.[G] The misconception of resilience is often bred from an early age. Parents trying to teach their children resilience might celebrate a high school student staying up until 3am to finish a science fair project. What a distortion of resilience! A resilient child is a well-rested one. When an exhausted student goes to school, he risks hurting everyone on the road with his impaired driving; he doesn't have the cognitive resources to do well on his English test; he has lower self-control with his friends; and at home, he is moody with his parents. Overwork and exhaustion are the opposite of resilience and the bad habits we acquire when we're young only magnify when we hit the workforce.[H] As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz have written, if you have too much time in the performance zone, you need more time in the recovery zone, otherwise you risk burnout. Gathering your resources to “try hard”requires burning energy in order to overcome your currently low arousal level. It also worsens exhaustion. Thus the more imbalanced we become due to overworking, the more value there is in activities that allow us to return to a state of balance. The value of a recovery period rises in proportion to the amount of work required of us.[I] So how do we recover and build resilience? Most people assume that if you stop doing a task like answering emails or writing a paper, your brain will naturally recover, so that when you start again later in the day or the next morning, you'll have your energy back. But surely everyone reading this has had times when you lie in bed for hours, unable to fall asleep because your brain is thinking about work. If you lie in bed for eight hours, you may have rested, but you can still feel exhausted the next day. That's because rest and recovery are not the same thing.[J] If you're trying to build resilience at work, you need adequate internal and external recovery periods. As researchers ZijIstra, Cropley and Rydstedt write in their 2014 paper: “Internal recovery refers to the shorter periods of relaxation that take place within the frames of the work day or the work setting in the form of short scheduled or unscheduled breaks, by shifting attention or changing to other work tasks when the mental or physical resources required for the initial task are temporarily depleted or exhausted. External recovery refers to actions that take place outside of work—e.g. in the free time between the work days, and during weekends, holidays or vacations.”If after work you lie around on your bed and get irritated by political commentary on your phone or get stressed thinking about decisions about how to renovate your home, your brain has not received a break from high mental arousal states. Our brains need a rest as much as our bodies do.[K] If you really want to build resilience, you can start by strategically stopping. Give yourself the resources to be tough by creating internal and external recovery periods. Amy Blankson describes how to strategically stop during the day by using technology to control overworking. She suggests downloading the Instant or Moment apps to see how many times you turn on your phone each day. You can also use apps like Offtime or Unplugged to create tech free zones by strategically scheduling automatic airplane modes. The average person turns on their phone 150 times every day. If every distraction took only 1 minute, that would account for 25 hours a day.[L] In addition, you can take a cognitive break every 90 minutes to charge your batteries. Try to not have lunch at your desk, but instead spend time outside or with your friends —not talking about work. Take all of your paid time off, which not only gives you recovery periods, but raises your productivity and likelihood of promotion.[M] As for us, we've started using our plane time as a work-free zone, and thus time to dip into the recovery phase. The results have been fantastic. We are usually tired already by the time we get on a plane, and the crowded space and unstable internet connection make work more challenging. Now, instead of swimming upstream, we relax, sleep, watch movies, or listen to music. And when we get off the plane, instead of being depleted, we feel recovered and ready to return to the performance zone.36. It has been found that inadequate recovery often leads to poor health and accidents.37. Mental relaxation is much needed, just as physical relaxation is.38. Adequate rest not only helps one recover, but also increases one's work efficiency.39. The author always has a hectic time before taking a flight.40. Recovery may not take place even if one seems to have stopped working.41. It is advised that technology be used to prevent people from overworking.42. Contrary to popular belief, rest does not equal recovery.43. The author has come to see that this problem results from a misunderstanding of the meaning of resilience.44. People's distorted view about resilience may have developed from their upbringing.45. People tend to think the more determined they are, the greater their success will be.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Children with attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to graduate from high school, says a new study from Duke University.The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project, a multi-site clinical trial in the U.S. that in 1991 began tracking how children developed across their lives.With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio-emotional skills and how each contributed to academic success into young adulthood.They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of academic success, and that likability by peers also had a modest effect on academic performance.By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and reading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with early attention problems obtained average reading scores at least 3% lower than their contemporaries' and grades at least 8% lower than those of their peers. This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problems continued throughout the children's academic careers. Lower reading achievement scores and grades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grades in middle school and thereby contributed to a 40% lower high school graduation rate.“The children we identified as having attention difficulties were not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺乏多动症）（ADHD), although some may have had the disorder. Our findings suggest that even more modest attention difficulties can increase the risk of negative academic outcomes,”said David Rabiner, an associate dean of Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, whose research has focused on ADHD and interventions to improve academic performance in children with attention difficulties.Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade, Children not as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grades in fifth grade, while those with higher social acceptance had higher grades.“This study shows the importance of so-called ‘non-cognitive ' or soft skills in contributing to children's positive peer relationships, which, in turn, contribute to their academic success，”said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions to help those with attention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said.“We're learning that student success requires a more comprehensive approach, one that incorporates not only academic skills but also social, self-regulatory and attention skills,”Dodge said. “If we neglect any of these areas, the child's development lags. If we attend to these areas, a child's success may reinforce itself with positive feedback loops.”46. What is the focus of the new study from Duke University?A) The contributors to children's early attention.B) The predictors of children's academic success.C) The factors that affect children's emotional well-being.D) The determinants of children's development of social skills.47. How did the researchers ensure that their findings are valid?A) By attaching equal importance to all possible variables examined.B) By collecting as many typical samples as were necessary.C) By preventing them from being affected by factors not under study.D) By focusing on the family background of the children being studied.48. What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?A) Modest students are generally more attentive than their contemporaries.B) There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.C) Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder accounts for most academic failures.D) Children's academic performance may suffer from even slight inattention.49. What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers?A) They do better academically. C) They are teachers' favorites.B) They are easy to get on with. D) They care less about grades.50. What can we conclude from the Duke study?A) Children's success is related to their learning environment.B) School curriculum should cover a greater variety of subjects.C) Social skills are playing a key role in children's development.D) An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.On Jan. 9,2007, Steve Jobs formally announced Apple's “revolutionary mobile phone”—a device that combined the functionality of an iPod, phone and Internet communication into a single unit,navigated by touch.It was a huge milestone in the development of smartphones, which are now owned by a majority of American adults and are increasingly common across the globe.As smartphones have multiplied, so have questions about their impact on how we live and how we work. Often the advantages of convenient, mobile technology are both obvious and taken for granted, leaving more subtle topics for concerned discussion: Are smartphones disturbing children's sleep? Is an inability to get away from work having a negative impact on health? And what are the implications for privacy?But today, on the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, let's take a moment to consider a less obvious advantage: the potential for smartphone technology to revolutionize behavioral science. That's because, for the first time in human history, a large proportion of the species is in continuous contact with technology that can record key features of an individual's behavior and environment.Researchers have already begun to use smartphones in social scientific research, either to query people regularly as they engage in their normal lives or to record activity using the device's built-in sensors. These studies are confirming, challenging and extending what's been found using more traditional approaches, in which people report how they behaved in real life or participate in relatively short and artificial laboratory-based tasks.Such studies are just first steps. As more data are collected and methods for analysis improve, researchers will be in a better position to identify how different experiences, behaviors and environments relate to each other and evolve over time, with the potential to improve people's productivity and wellbeing in a variety of domains. Beyond revealing population-wide patterns, the right combination of data and analysis can also help individuals identify unique characteristics of their own behavior, including conditions that could indicate the need for some form of intervention—such as an unusual increase in behaviors that signal a period of depression.Smartphone-based data collection comes at an appropriate time in the evolution of psychological science. Today, the field is in transition, moving away from a focus on laboratory studies with undergraduate participants towards more complex, real-world situations studied with more diverse groups of people. Smartphones offer new tools for achieving these ambitions, providing rich data about everyday behaviors in a variety of contexts.So here's another way in which smartphones might transform the way we live and work: by offering insights into human psychology and behavior and, thus, supporting smarter social science.51.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage withten blanks. You are require d to select one word foreach blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passagethrough carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the co rresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line throught he centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.In what's probably the craziest headline I've ever written, I've reported that _ _26__ in livestock protection are happening with scientists painting eyes on the butts of cows. Theexperiment is based upon the idea that farmers who're protecting their herd from lions wouldshoot and kill lions in an effort to prot ect their livestock. While this makes a lot of sense, itresults in many lion de aths that __27__ would have been unnecessary. Researchers inAustralia ha ve been __28__ and testing a method of trickery to make lions think they are beingwatched by the painted eyes on cow butts.This idea is based on the principle that lions and other __29__ are far less li kely to attackwhen they feel they are being watched. As conservation areas become smaller, lions areincreasingly coming into contact with human popula tions，which are expanding to the __30__ of these protected areas.Efforts like painting eyes on cow butts may seem crazy at first, but they coul d make actual headway in the fight for conservation."If the method works, it could provide farmers inBotswana -- and __31__-- with a low-cost, sustainable tool to protect their livestock, and away to keep lions safe from being killed." Lions are __32__ ambush （埋伏）hunters, so whenthey feel their prey has __33__ them, they usually give up on the hunt. Researchers are __34__ testing their idea on a select herd of ca ttle. They have painted half of the cows witheyes and left the other half as no rmal. Through satellite tracking of both the herd and the lionsin the area, the y will be able to __35__ if their psychological trickery will work to help keep farmers from shooting lions.A) advances B) boundaries C) challenging D) currently E) determine F) dev ising G) elsewhereH) nevertheless I) otherwise J) predators K) primarily L) r etorted M) spotted N) testimonies O) wrestleSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statemen ts attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the pa ragraphs. Identify the paragraphfrom which the information is derived. You m ay choose a paragraph more than once. Eachparagraph is marked with a lette r. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2.Resilience Is About How You Recharge, Not How You EndureA) As constant travelers and parents of a 2-year-old, we sometimes fantasiz e about how muchwork we can do when one of us gets on a plane, undistract ed by phones, friends, or movies. Werace to get all our ground work done: pa cking, going through security, doing a last-minutework call, calling each othe r, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have that amazingwork ses sion in flight, we get nothing done. Even worse, after refreshing our email or readingthe same studies over and over, we are too exhausted when we land t o soldier on with (继续处理）the emails that have inevitably still piled up. B) Why should flying deplete us? We're just sitting there doing nothing. Why can't we betougher, more resilient (有复原力的）and determined in our work so we can accomplish all ofthe goals we set for ourselves? Based on our current research, we have come to realize that the problem is not our hectic schedule or the plane travel itself; the problem com es from a misconception of what it means to be resilient, and the resulting impact of overworking.C) We often take a militaristic,"tough" approach to resilience and determination like aMarine pulling him self through the mud, a boxer going one more round, or a football playerpicki ng himself up off the ground for one more play. We believe that the longer we tough it out, the tougher we are, and therefore the more successful we will b e. However, this entire conception is scientifically inaccurate.D) The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collec tive ability to be resilient and successful. Research has found that there is a direct correlation between lack of recovery and increased incidence of heal th and safety problems. And lack of recovery-whether by disrupting sleep wit h thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal bywatching our phones-is costing our companies $62 billion a year in lost productivity.E) And just because work stops, it doesn't mean we are recovering. We "stop" work sometimesat 5pm, but then we spend the night wrestling with solutions to work problems, talking aboutour work over dinner, and falling asleep think ing about how much work we'll do tomorrow. In astudy just released, researc hers from Norway found that 7.8% of Norwegians have becomeworkaholics (工作狂）. The scientists cite a definition of "workaholism" as "being overly conce rned about work, driven by an uncontrollable work motivation, and investin g so muchtime and effort in work that it impairs other important life areas."F) We believe that the number of people who fit that definition includes the majority ofAmerican workers, which prompted us to begin a study of workah olism in the U. S. Our studywill use a large corporate dataset from a major medical company to examine how technologyextends our working hours and t hus interferes with necessary cognitive recovery, resulting inhuge health ca re costs and turnover costs for employers.G) The misconception of resilience is often bred from an early age. Parents trying to teachtheir children resilience might celebrate a high school stude nt staying up until 3am to finish ascience fair project.What a distortion of resilience! A resilient child is a well-rested one. When an exhaustedstudent goes to school, he risks hurting everyone on the road w ith his impaired driving; hedoesn't have the cognitive resources to do well o n his English test; he has lower self-control with his friends; and at home, he is moody with his parents. Overwork and exhaustion are theopposite of resili ence and the bad habits we acquire when we're young only magnify whenw e hit the workforce.H) As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz have written, if you have too much time i n the performance zone, you need more time in the recovery zone, otherwis e you risk burnout. Gathering your resources to "try hard" requires burning e nergy in order to overcome yourcurrently low arousal level. It also worsens e xhaustion. Thus the more imbalanced we becomedue to overworking, the mor e value there is in activities that allow us to return to a state ofbalance. The v alue of a recovery period rises in proportion to the amount of work require d ofus.I) So how do we recover and build resilience? Most people assume that if y ou stop doing atask like answering emails or writing a paper, your brain will naturally recover, so that when youstart again later in the day or the next mor ning, you'll have your energy back. But surelyeveryone reading this has had ti mes when you lie in bed for hours, unable to fall asleep becauseyour brain is t hinking about work. If you lie in bed for eight hours, you may have rested, bu tyou can still feel exhausted the next day. That's because rest and recovery are not the samething.J) If you're trying to build resilience at work, you need adequate internal a nd externalrecovery periods. As researchers Zijlstra, Cropley and Rydstedt write in their 2014 paper:"Internal recovery refers to the shorter periods of relaxation that take place within the framesof the work day or the work setting in the form of short sc heduled or unscheduled breaks, by shifting attention or changing to other wo rk tasks when the mental or physical resourcesrequired for the initial task ar e temporarily depleted or exhausted. External recovery refersto actions tha t take place outside of work-e.g. in the free time between the work days, and during weekends, holidays or vacations." If after work you lie around on your bed and getirritated by political comme ntary on your phone or get stressed thinking about decisions abouthow to re novate your home, your brain has not received a break from high mental ar ousalstates. Our brains need a rest as much as our bodies do.K) If you really want to build resilience, you can start by strategically stoppi ng. Give yourselfthe resources to be tough by creating internal and external recovery periods. Amy Blanksondescribes how to strategically stop during th e day by using technology to control overworking. She suggests downloading the Instant or Moment apps to see how many times you turn on yourphone e ach day. You can also use apps like Offtime or Unplugged to create tech free zones bystrategically scheduling automatic airplane modes. The average pers on turns on their phone 150 times every day. If every distraction took only 1 minute, that would account for 2. 5 hoursa day.L) In addition, you can take a cognitive break every 90 minutes to charge your batteries. Tryto not have lunch at your desk, but instead spend time out side or with your friends-not talkingabout work. Take all of your paid time off, which not only gives you recovery periods, butraises your productivity and likelihood of promotion.M) As for us, we've started using our plane time as a work-free zone, and th us time to dip intothe recovery phase. The results have been fantastic. We are usually tired already by the timewe get on a plane, and the crowded spac e and unstable internet connection make work more challenging. Now, inste ad of swimming upstream, we relax, sleep, watch movies, or listen tomusic. A nd when we get off the plane, instead of being depleted, we feel recovered a nd readyto return to the performance zone.36.It has been found that inadequate recovery often leads to poor health a nd accidents.37.Mental relaxation is much needed, just as physical relaxation is.38.Adequate rest not only helps one recover, but also increases one's work ef ficiency.39.The author always has a hectic time before taking a flight.40.Recovery may not take place even if one seems to have stopped working.41.It is advised that technology be used to prevent people from overworking.42.Contrary to popular belief, rest does not equal recovery.43.The author has come to see that his problem results from a misundersta nding of themeaning of resilience.44.People's distorted view about resilience may have developed from their upbringing.45.People tend to think the more determined they are, the greater their suc cess will be.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by s ome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four cho ices marked A), B), C) and D). Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with asingle line through the cen tre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Children with attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to gr aduate from highschool, says a new study from Duke University.The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project , a multi-site clinical trial in the U. S. that in 1991 began tracking how childr en developed across their lives.With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio-e motional skillsand how each contributed to academic success into young ad ulthood.They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of a cademic success, and that likability by peers also had a modest effect on a cademic performance.By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and r eading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with e arly attention problemsobtained average reading scores at least 3% lower tha n their contemporaries' and grades atleast 8% lower than those of their peers . This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problemscontinued throughout the children's academic careers. Lower readi ng achievement scores andgrades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grad es in middle school and thereby contributedto a 40% lower high school grad uation rate."The children we identified as having attention difficulties were not diagnose d with attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺乏多动症）(ADHD), although some may have had the disorder. Our findings suggest tha t even more modest attention difficulties can increase therisk of negative ac ademic outcomes", said David Rabiner, an associate dean of Duke's TrinityC ollege of Arts & Sciences, whose research has focused on ADHD and inte rventions toimprove academic performance in children with attention diffic ulties.Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade. Childrennot as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grade s in fifth grade, while those withhigher social acceptance had higher grades. "This study shows the importance of so-called ‘non-cognitive' or soft skills in c ontributing tochildren's positive peer relationships, which, in turn, contribu te to their academic success," said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Polic y.The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions to hel p those withattention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said."We're learning that student success requires a more comprehensive appro ach, one thatincorporates not only academic skills but also social, self-regul atory and attention skills, " Dodge said."If we neglect any of these areas, the child's development lags. If we attend tothese areas, a child's success may reinforce itself with positive feedback lo ops. "46. What is the focus of the new study from Duke University?A) The contributors to children's early attention.B) The predictors of children's academic success.C) The factors that affect children's emotional well-being.D) The determinants of children's development of social skills.47. How did the researchers ensure that their findings are valid?A) By attaching equal importance to all possible variables examined.B) By collecting as many typical samples as were necessary.C) By preventing them from being affected by factors not under study.D) By focusing on the family background of the children being studied.48. What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?A) Modest students are generally more attentive thаn their contemporaries.B) There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.C) Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder accounts for most academic fail ures.D) Children's academic performance may suffer from even slight inattenti on.49. What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers?A) They do better academically. C) They are teachers' favorites.B) They are easy to get on with. D) They care less about grades.50. What can we conclude from the Duke study?A) Children's success is related to their learning environment.B) School curriculum should cover a greater variety of subjects.C) Social skills are playing a key role in children's development.D) An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.On Jan. 9,2007, Steve Jobs formally announced Apple's "revolutionary mobile phone"—a device that combined the functionality of an iPod, phone and Internet co mmunication into asingle unit, navigated by touch.It was a huge milestone in the development of smartphones, which are now owned by a majority of American adults and are increasingly common across the globe.As smartphones have multiplied, so have questions about their impact on ho w we live and howwe work. Often the advantages of convenient, mobile tech nology are both obvious and takenfor granted, leaving more subtle topics fo r concerned discussion:Are smartphones disturbing children's sleep? Is an i nability to get away from work having a negative impact on health? And w hat are the implications for privacy?But today, on the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, let's take a moment to cons ider a less obvious advantage: the potential for smartphone technology to revolutionize behavioralscience. That's because, for the first time in human hi story, a large proportion of the species is in continuous contact with techn ology that can record key features of an individual'sbehavior and environme nt.Researchers have already begun to use smartphones in social scientific resea rch, either to query people regularly as they engage in their normal lives or t o record activity using thedevice's built-in sensors. These studies are confirmi ng, challenging and extending what's beenfound using more traditional ap proaches, in which people report how they behaved in real lifeor participate i n relatively short and artificial laboratory-based tasks.Such studies are just first steps. As more data are collected and methods for analysis improve, researchers will be in a better position to identify how diff erent experiences, behaviors andenvironments relate to each other and evolv e over time, with the potential to improvepeople's productivity and wellbei ng in a variety of domains. Beyond revealing population-wide patterns, th e right combination of data and analysis can also help individuals identify unique characteristics of their own behavior, including conditions that coul d indicate theneed for some form of intervention—such as an unusual incr ease in behaviors that signal aperiod of depression. Smartphone-based dat a collection comes at an appropriate time inthe evolution of psychologic al science. Today, the field is in transition, moving away from afocus on labo ratory studies with undergraduate participants towards more complex, real-worldsituations studied with more diverse groups of people. Smartphones off er new tools forachieving these ambitions, providing rich data about everyday behaviors in a variety ofcontexts.So here's another way in which smartphones might transform the way we liv e and work: byoffering insights into human psychology and behavior and, thu s, supporting smarter social science.51. What does the author say about the negative impact of smartphones?A) It has been overshadowed by the positive impact.B) It has more often than not been taken for granted.C) It is not so obvious but has caused some concern.D) It is subtle but should by no means be overstated.52. What is considered a less obvious advantage of smartphone technology?A) It systematically records real human interactions.B) It helps people benefit from technological advances.C) It brings people into closer contact with each other.D) It greatly improves research on human behavior.53. What characterizes traditional psychological research?A) It is based on huge amounts of carefully collected data.B) It relies on lab observations and participants' reports.C) It makes use of the questionnaire method.D) It is often expensive and time-consuming.54. How will future psychological studies benefit individuals?A) By helping them pin down their unusual behaviors.B) By helping them maintain a positive state of mind.C) By helping them live their lives in a unique way.D) By helping them cope with abnormal situations.55. What do we learn about current psychological studies?A) They are going through a period of painful transition.B) They are increasingly focused on real-life situations.C) They are conducted in a more rigorous manner.D) They are mainly targeted towards undergraduates.Part IV Translation (30minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese intoEnglish.

As a result, how to arrange them in a reasonable manner has become a heated topic. In my opinion, the following ways may be worth a try. First and foremost, you are supposed to draw up a schedule for the work to be done next. For example, you can finish the easier work in advance, which can increase your sense of confidence. And then you can effectively fulfill the difficult tasks in time. Thus, enough leisure time can be left and you can spare more time to relax yourself or accompany your families. In addition, it is a worthwhile attempt for you to blend joy with work. For instance, when you have to undertake a tedious or tough job, you may relax yourself by listening to some soft music. In a word, there are many solutions to the problem of balancing work and leisure, but the one that suits you might be the most helpful.解析：这是一篇议论文写作，这次考的话题是如何平衡工作与休闲。

【参考范文】The Way to Balance Academic Study and Extracurricular Activities Compared with busy schedule and heavy academic workload in high schools, colleges offer us more free time and opportunities to engage in various social activities. (1) However, many students find it difficult to reach a balance between academic study and extracurricular activities.Actually, it is possible for us to conquer it. (2) T o begin with, we should give priority to our studies. College years is usually the last period when we can fully devote ourselves into learning without interruptions. Thus, we should cherish this period and set aside a chunk of time each day for studying. (3) Besides, we should be picky about extracurricular activities. A cluttered schedule may negativelyimpact our academics and things could be worse if we skip classes to attend numerous events and meetings. In order to maintain good grades and avoid getting burned out, we should carefully select club activities based on our interests and needs for future career development.(4) In conclusion, both academic study and extracurricular activities are of great importance in our development, and they are not conflicting. As college students, we should firstly complete all of our academic assignments and then schedule everything else around our class with careful consideration.【行文点评】(1) 开头引出话题，指出很多学生难以在课业学习与课外活动之间取得平衡。

It is generally agreed that academic study has been playing a crucial role in students’life。

Nevertheless，we should not neglect the equal importance of extracurricular activities which can help us to build confidence and enhance overall abilities。

A number of factors might account for participating in both academic study and extracurricular activities。

With respect to academic study，one of the most common factors is to facilitate our academic competence。

There’s no doubt that study is the priority to students，and the academic performance，to a large extent，determines whether we can enter a prestigious schooland get a decent job。

I think you‘d like it。

It’s called the physics of the world。

It‘s written by a scientist named Sylvia Mendez。

Oh I read that book。

It was great。

The writer is a warm and competent guide to the mysteries of physics。

I think it promises enrichment for any reader from those who know little about science to the career physicist。

And it‘s refreshing to see a strong curious clever woman adding her voice to the scientific discourse and a field that has been traditionally dominated by men。

I think she has to be commended for making an effortto include anecdotes about little known female scientists。

You know they were often victims of a generation firmly convinced that the woman’s place was in the home。

Part III Reading 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 by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.In what’s probably the craziest headline I’ve ever written, I’ve reported that 26 in livestock protection are happening with scientists painting eyes on the butts of cows. The experiment is based upon the idea that farmers who’re protecting their herd from lions would shoot and kill lions in an effort to protect their livestock. While this makes a lot of sense, it resultsin many lion deaths that 27 would have been unnecessary. Researchers in Australia have been 28 and testing a method of trickery to make lions think they are being watched by the painted eyes on cow butts.This idea is based on the principle that lions and other 29 are far less likely to attack when they feel they are being watched. As conservation areas become smaller, lions are increasingly coming into contact with human populations, which are expanding to the 30 of these protected areas.Efforts like painting eyes on cow butts may seem crazy at first, but they could make actual headway in the fight for conservation. “If the method works, it could provide farmers in Botswana —and 31 —with a low-cost, sustainable tool to protect their livestock, and a way to keep lions safe from being killed.”Lions are 32 ambush（埋伏）hunters, so when they feel their prey has 33 them, they usually give up on the hunt. Researchers are 34 testing their idea on a select herd of cattle.They have painted half of the cows with eyes and left the other half as normal. Through satellite tracking of both the herd and the lions in the area, they will be able to 35 if their psychological trickery will work to help keep farmers from shooting lions.A)advances I）otherwiseB)boundaries J)predatorsC)challenging K) primarilyD)currently L）retortedE)determine M）spottedF)devising N) testimoniesG)elsewhere O）wrestleH)neverthelessSection 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 whichthe 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 Sheet 2.Resilience Is About How You Recharge, Not How Y ou Endure[A] As constant travelers and parents of a 2-year-old, we sometimes fantasize about howmuch work we can do when one of us gets on a plane, undistracted by phones, friends, or movies. We race to get all our ground work done: packing, going through security, doing a last-minutework call, calling each other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have that amazingwork session in flight, we get nothing done. Even worse, after refreshing our email or reading the same studies over and over, we are too exhausted when we land to soldier on with（继续处理）the emails that have inevitably still piled up.[B] Why should flying deplete us? We’re just sitting there doing nothing. Why can’t we be tougher, more resilient（有复原力的）and determined in our work so we can accomplish all of the goals we set for ourselves? Based on our current research, we have come to realize that the problem is not our hectic schedule or the plane travel itself; the problem comes from a misconception of what it means to be resilient, and the resulting impact of overworking.[C] We often take a militaristic, “tough” approach to resilience and determination like a Marine pulling himself through the mud, a boxer going one more round, or a football playerpicking himself up off the ground for one more play. We believe that the longer we tough it out,the tougher we are, and therefore the more successful we will be. However, this entire conceptionis scientifically inaccurate.[D] The very lack of a recovery period is dramatically holding back our collective ability tobe resilient and successful. Research has found that there is a direct correlation between lack of recovery and increased incidence of health and safety problems. And lack of recovery—whetherby disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones—is costing our companies $62 billion a year in lost productivity.[E] And just because work stops, it doesn’t mean we are recovering. We “stop” work sometimes at 5 pm, but then we spend the night wrestling with solutions to work problems, talking about our work over dinner, and falling asleep thinking about how much work we’ll do tomorrow. In a study just released, researchers from Norway found that 7.8% of Norwegians have become workaholics（工作狂）. The scientists cite a definition of “workaholism” as “being overly concerned about work, driven by an uncontrollable work motivation, and investing so much timeand effort in work that it impairs other important life areas.”[F] We believe that the number of people who fit that definition includes the majority of American workers, which prompted us to begin a study of workaholism in the U.S.. Our study will use a large corporate dataset from a major medical company to examine how technology extends our working hours and thus interferes with necessary cognitive recovery, resulting in huge health care costs and turnover costs for employers.[G] The misconception of resilience is often bred from an early age. Parents trying to teach their children resilience might celebrate a high school student staying up until 3 am to finish a science fair project. What a distortion of resilience! A resilient child is a well-rested one. When an exhausted student goes to school, he risks hurting everyone on the road with his impaired driving; he doesn’t have the cognitive resources to do well on his English test; he has lower self-controlwith his friends; and at home, he is moody with his parents. Overwork and exhaustion are the opposite of resilience and the bad habits we acquire when we’re young only magnify when we hit the workforce.[H] As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz have written, if you have too much time in the performance zone, you need more time in the recovery zone, otherwise you risk burnout. Gathering your resources to “try hard” requires burning energy in order to overcome your currently low arousal level. It also worsens exhaustion. Thus the more imbalanced we become due to overworking, the more value there is in activities that allow us to return to a state of balance.The value of a recovery period rises in proportion to the amount of work required of us.[I] So how do we recover and build resilience? Most people assume that if you stop doing a task like answering emails or writing a paper, your brain will naturally recover, so that when you start again later in the day or the next morning, you’ll have your energy back. But surely everyone reading this has had times when you lie in bed for hours, unable to fall asleep because your brainis thinking about work. If you lie in bed for eight hours, you may have rested, but you can still feel exhausted the next day. That’s because rest and recovery are not the same thing.[J] If you’re trying to build resilience at work, you need adequate internal and external recovery periods. As researchers Zijlstra, Cropley and Rydstedt write in their 2014 paper: “Internal recovery refers to the shorter periods of relaxation that take place within the frames of the workday or the work setting in the form of short scheduled or unscheduled breaks, by shifting attentionor changing to other work tasks when the mental or physical resources required for the initial task are temporarily depleted or exhausted. External recovery refers to actions that take place outsideof work—e.g. in the free time between the work days, and during weekends, holidays or vacations.” If after work you lie around on your bed and get irritated by political commentary onyour phone or get stressed thinking about decisions about how to renovate your home, your brain has not received a break from high mental arousal states. Our brains need a rest as much as our bodies do.[K] If you really want to build resilience, you can start by strategically stopping. Giveyourself the resources to be tough by creating internal and external recovery periods. Amy Blankson describes how to strategically stop during the day by using technology to control overworking. She suggests downloading the Instant or Moment apps to see how many times you turn on your phone each day. You can also use apps like Offtime or Unplugged to create tech free zones by strategically scheduling automatic airplane modes. The average person turns on their phone 150 times every day. If every distraction took only 1 minute, that would account for 2.5hours a day.[L]In addition, you can take a cognitive break every 90 minutes to charge your batteries. Tryto not have lunch at your desk, but instead spend time outside or with your friends—not talking about work. Take all of your paid time off, which not only gives you recovery periods, but raisesyour productivity and likelihood of promotion.[M] As for us, we’ve started using our plane time as a work-free zone, and thus time to dip into the recovery phase. The results have been fantastic. We are usually tired already by the time we get on a plane, and the crowded space and unstable internet connection make work more challenging. Now, instead of swimming upstream, we relax, sleep, watch movies, or listen to music. And when we get off the plane, instead of being depleted, we feel recovered and ready to return to the performance zone.36. It has been found that inadequate recovery often leads to poor health and accidents.37. Mental relaxation is much needed, just as physical relaxation is.38. Adequate rest not only helps one recover, but also increases one’s work efficiency.39. The author always has a hectic time before taking a flight.40. Recovery may not take place even if one seems to have stopped working.41. It is advised that technology be used to prevent people from overworking.42. Contrary to popular belief, rest does not equal recovery.43. The author has come to see that his problem results from a misunderstanding of the meaning of resilience.44. People’s distorted view about resilience may have developed from their upbringing.45. People tend to think the more determined they are, the greater their success will be.Section CDirections: T here are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some question 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 Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Children with attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to graduate fromhigh school, says a new study from Duke University.The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project, a multi-site clinical trial in the U.S. that in 1991 began tracking how children developed across their lives.With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio-emotional skillsand how each contributed to academic success into young adulthood.They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of academic success, and that likability by peers also had a modest effect on academic performance.By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and reading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with early attention problems obtained average reading scores at least 3% lower than their contemporaries’ and grades at least 8% lower than those of their peers. This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problems continued throughout the children’s academic careers. Lower reading achievement scores and grades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grades in middle school and thereby contributed to a 40% lower high school graduation rate.“The children we identified as having attention difficulties were not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder（注意力缺乏多动症）（ADHD）, although some may have had the disorder. Our findings suggest that even more modest attention dean of Duke’s Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, whose research has focused on ADHD and interventions to improve academic performance in children with attention difficulties.Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade. Childrennot as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grades in fifth grade, while those withhigher social acceptance had higher grades.“This study shows the importance of so-called ‘non-cognitive’ or soft skills in contributing to children’s positive peer relationships, which, in turn, contribute to their academic success,” said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions to help those with attention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said.“We’re learning that student success requires a more comprehensive approach, one that incorporates not only academic skills but also social, self-regulatory and attention skills,” Dodge said. “If we neglect any of these areas, the child’s development lags. If we attend to these areas, a child’s success may reinforce itself with positive feedback loops.”46. What is the focus of the new study from Duke University?A)The contributors to children’s early attention.B) The predictors of children’s academic success.C) The factors that affect children’s emotional well-being.D) The determinants of children’s development of social skills.47. How did the researchers ensure that their findings are valid?A)By attaching equal importance to all possible variables examined.B)By collecting as many typical samples as were necessary.C)By preventing them from being affected by factors not under study.D)By focusing on the family background of the children being studied.48. What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?A)Modest students are generally more attentive than their contemporaries.B)There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.C)Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder accounts for most academic failures.D)Children’s academic performance may suffer from even slight inattention.49. What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers?A)They do better academically. B)They are easy to get on with.C)They are teachers’ favorites. D)They care less about grades.50. What can we conclude from the Duke study?A)Children’s success is related to their learning environment.B)School curriculum should cover a greater variety of subjects.C)Social skills are playing a key role in children’s development.D)An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passageOn Jan.9,2007, Steve Jobs formally announced Apple’s “revolutionary mobile phone”—a device that combined the functionality of an iPod, phone and Internet communication into a single unit, navigated by touch.It was a huge milestone in the development of smartphones, which are now owned by a majority of American adults and are increasingly common across the globe.As smartphones have multiplied, so have questions about their impact on how we live andhow we work. Often the advantages of convenient, mobile technology are both obvious and takenfor granted, leaving more subtle topics for concerned discussion: Are smartphones disturbing children’s sleep? Is an inability to get away from work having a negative impact on health? And what are the implications for privacy?But today, on the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, let’s take a moment to consider a less obvious advantage: the potential for smartphone technology to revolutionize behavioral science. That’s because, for the first time in human history, a large proportion of the species is in continuous contact with technology that can record key features of an individual’s behavior and environment.Researchers have already begun to use smartphones in social scientific research, either to query people regularly as they engage in their normal lives or to record activity using the device’s built-in sensors. These studies are confirming, challenging and extending what’s been found using more traditional approaches, in which people report how they behaved in real life or participate in relatively short and artificial laboratory-based tasks.Such studies are just first steps. As more data are collected and methods for analysis improve, researchers will be in a better position to identify how different experiences, behaviors and environments relate to each other and evolve over time, with the potential to improve people’s productivity and wellbeing in a variety of domains. Beyond revealing population-wide patterns,the right combination of data and analysis can also help individuals identify unique characteristicsof their own behavior, including conditions that could indicate the need for some form of intervention—such as an unusual increase in behaviors that signal a period of depression.Smartphone-based data collection comes at an appropriate time in the evolution of psychological science. Today, the field is in transition, moving away from a focus on laboratory studies with undergraduate participants towards more complex, real-world situations studied with more diverse groups of people. Smartphones offer new tools for achieving these ambitions, providing rich data about everyday behaviors in a variety of contexts.So here’s another way in which smartphones might transform the way we live and work: by offering insights into human psychology and behavior and, thus, supporting smarter social science.51. What does the author say about the negative impact of smartphones?A)It has been overshadowed by the positive impact.B)It has more often than not been taken for granted.C)It is not so obvious but has caused some concern.D)It is subtle but should by no means be overstated.52. What is considered a less obvious advantage of smartphone technology?A)It systematically records real human interactions.B)It helps people benefit from technological advances.C)It brings people into closer contact with each other.D)It greatly improves research on human behavior.53.What characterizes traditional psychological research?A)It is based on huge amounts of carefully collected data.B)It relies on lab observations and participants’ reports.C)It makes use of the questionnaire method.D)It is often expensive and time-consuming.54. How will future psychological studies benefit individuals?A)By helping them pin down their unusual behaviors.B)By helping them maintain a positive state of mind.C)By helping them live their lives in a unique way.D)By helping them cope with abnormal situations.55. What do we learn about current psychological studies?A)They are going through a period of painful transition.B)They are increasingly focused on real-life situations.C)They are conducted in a more rigorous manner.D)They are mainly targeted towards undergraduates.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
