Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Learning in ChinaWe can always hear voices paring the educational systems in China and the US. It’s true that there exist a lot of differences, but this cannot be an excuse (25) ______ having a passive attitude toward studying in China.When I came back from the US last year and continued my senior middle school education in China, I sensed many great differences. I thought that school in China was too hard, and that we didn’t do enough fun exercise except running around playgrounds together. I was not patient enough and I couldn’t help but (26)______(cry) to my mom. In short, I (27) ______ not face the changes and the pressure.After a long talk with my mother, I realized that though high school life in China is (28) ______ (hard), it can give us more. The pressure helps us learn the true meaning of petition before we step into society, which gives us a (29) ______ (determine) heart and teaches us to step forward (30)______ ______ ______ the reality is. It’s like climbing a mountain, which might make you dizzy and nervous, but the top is always there waiting for you as long as you are strong enough (31) ______ (take) one more step.Meanwhile, an easy life is not always good for us. Even some of my American friends call (32)______ “lazy Americans”, because the school in the US is not always easy. When they go to college, they a lso need to work very hard. We plain mainly because we can’t see the whole picture.Sometimes we just simply listen to others’ words without thinking about (33) ______they’re true. We can’t always plain. Instead, we all need to understand that success takes efforts and tears.(B)Science – A way of ThinkingMany scientists, from their earlier work, have enough knowledge to make good guess as to the solution to a problem which (34) ______(work) on. In making new discoveries, they may use the trial-and-error method, they may draw on past experiences, or they may try to find out (35) ______others have discovered. They may design new investigations and new ways of testing their results. Scientists have to train themselves to use their brains efficiently.For example, when Thomas A. Edison was trying to make an electric lamp, he needed the only substance inside the bulb (36) ______would glow brightly without burning up quickly. He tried more than one thousand times (37) ______he found the exact substance he could use. After he had experimented for a long time, someone asked Mr. Edison whether he was discouraged at the waste of time. He replied, “I have not been wasting time. I (38)______ (find) one thousand materials that won’t work. Now I can look for others.” Edison’s statement is very important. Above all, scientists demand to know when and where they are wrong. A good question to ask in science is not “Am I right?” but “Am I wrong?”.Scientists spend many years of study (39) ______ (train) themselves to use their brains and the tools of investigation. They also use each other’s work. Isaac Newton, (40) who is ______ unique British scientist, said he saw further than others because he stood on the shoulders of giants.Section BDirections: plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be usedGrammar is universal and plays a vital part in every language. So the question which has puzzled many linguists is: who created grammar?In order to answer the question of how plex languages are ＿41＿formed, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started from scratch. To find out how grammar is created, someone needs to be present at the time of a language’s creation, documenting its ＿42＿. At first, it seems that this question is impossible to answer. Amazingly, this is possible.Some of the most recent languages ＿43＿due to the Atlantic slave trade, when slaves from a number of different ethnicities were forced to work together under the colonizer’s ＿44＿. Since the y had no opportunity to learn each other’s languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin (混杂语). Pidgins are strings of words ＿45＿from the language of the landowner. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to bee a plex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children did not ＿46＿copy the strings of words uttered by their elders, they ＿47＿their words to create a new language.Further evidence of this can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Previously, all deaf people were isolated from each other, but in 1979 a government introduced schools for the deaf. Although children were taught speech and lip reading in the classroom, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, which was basically a pidgin. Each child used the signs differently, and there was no ＿48＿grammar. However, when this inventive sign system was already around, a quite different sign language was developed.Therefore it would appear that even the most widespread languages were partly created by children. Children appear to have innate (天生的) grammatical machinery in their brains, which springs to life when they are first trying to make ＿49＿of the world around them. Their minds can serve to create ＿50＿, plex structures, even when there is no existing grammar for them to copy.III. Reading prehensionSection 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.Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as “a bodily exercise precious to health.” But ＿51＿some claims to the contrary, laughing quietly probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does ＿52＿short-term changes in the activity of the heart and its blood vessels, boosting heart rate and oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to ＿53＿, a good laugh is unlikely to have ＿54＿benefits the way, say, walking or jogging does.＿55＿, instead of stretching muscles tightly to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently acplishes the ＿56＿. Studies dating back to the 1930s indicate that laughter57＿muscles, decreasing muscle tone for up to 45 minutes after the noisy laugh dies down.Such bodily reaction might imaginably help moderate the effects of psychological stress. After all, the act of laughing probably does give rise to other types of ＿58＿feedback that improve an individual’s emoti onal state. ＿59＿one classical theory of emotion, our feelings are partially rooted in physical reactions. It was argued at the end of the 19th century that humans do not cry because they are sad but they bee sad when the tears begin to flow.Although sadness also es before tears, evidence suggests that emotions can flow from muscular ＿60＿. In an experiment published in 1988, social psychologist Fritz Strack of the University of würzburg in Germany and his colleagues asked volunteers to ＿61＿a pen either with their teeth – thereby creating an artificial smile – or with their lips, which would cause a(n) ＿62＿expression. Those forced to exercise their smiling muscles ＿63＿more cheerfully to funny cartoons than did those whose mouths were contracted in a frown, ＿64＿that expressions may influence emotions rather than just the other way around. ＿65＿, the physical act of laughter could improve mood.51. A. among B. except C. despite D. like52. A. reflect B. demand C. indicate D. produce53. A. release B. maintain C. evaluate D. observe54. A. measurable B. manageable C. affordable D. renewable55. A. In turn B. In fact C. In addition D. In brief56. A. opposite B. reverse C. function D. average57. A. hardens B. weakens C. tightens D. relaxes58. A. physical B. mental C. subconscious D. internal59. A. Owing to B. According to C. Due to D. As for60. A. stimulus B. responses C. reflection D. operation61. A. fetch B. bite C. pick D. hold62. A. disappointed B. excited C. joyful D. funny63. A. alerted B. contributed C. turned D. reacted64. A. suggesting B. requiring C. mentioning D. supposing65. A. Eventually B. Consequently C. Similarly D. CoincidentallySection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A).Working with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To workout how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.66. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dr. Carter’s research.B. The results of Dr. Carter’s research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carter’s research.D. The significance of Dr. Carter’s research.67. According to the research, which baboons are more likely to plete a new learning task?A. Those that have more experience.B. Those that can avoid potential risks.C. Those that like to work independently.D. Those that feel anxious about learning.68. Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C. Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them.D. Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate.69. Dr. Carter’s findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ______.A. storing informationB. learning from each otherC. understanding different peopleD. travelling between social groups(B).CityCabA Member of FORT DELGROfortable airport & city transfers:MaxiCab (seats 6 passengers)Booking Hotline: +65 6542 8297… or book at the Airport Shuttle counter at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2MaxiCab Service RatesTransfer to Airport/other destination$35 Hourly Service (per hour – minimum 2 hours) $35Applicable additional charges: -- Between midnight to 6 am, an additional $12 per transfer or perhour -- For en-route stop to final destination, an additional $5 per stopapply otherwise $20-- Administrative charges of 10% of total fare for all Credit CardpaymentsPersonalized tours:SingaporeCabby Tour ✓ Conducted by licensed taxi tourist guides approved by the Singapore Tourism Board ✓ Exclusive private tours in 6-seater MaxiCabs, 4-seater Mercedes LimoCabs and normal cabs ✓ Flexible pick-up times and locations✓ Extension of additional attractions and restaurants upon requestcitycab.sg70.

But here’s the problem: I’m cheap, and the iPad’s not. If I’m going to fork over at least $499 for a new device, I want to try it out and make sure it’s not just a larger, shinier version of my iPhone. But if I went to my local Apple Store, I’d get to spend only a few minutes testing out the machine. I wanted more time than that, so I rented one for $15 a day from a guy on SnapGoods.The Internet start-up in Brooklyn runs on simple reasoning: there are people who want to borrow stuff – camping equipment, food processors, robot vacuums, etc. – and there are people who have stuff they want to lend. SnapGoods helps these two groups connect over the Web. SnapGoods is one of many sites that have sprung up to facilitate offline sharing. Some sites have a narrow, obvious focus (like SwapBabyGoods) while others are more obscure (Neighborhood Fruit helps people share what’s growing in their yards or find fruit trees on public land). But regardless of whether the sharing is free or involves a fee, these transactions often e with a stick-it-to-the-man attitude. “Borrow these things from your neighbors,” reads one earnest request on neighborrow, “The owner-ship has SAILED!”All of these sites are encouraging something academics call collaborative consumption –in other words, peer-to-peer sharing or re nting. Renting something you don’t need to use very often makes a lot more sense than buying it and letting it collect dust in your garage. There’s a green aspect as well, since sharing helps cut down on overall use of resources. But one of collaborative c onsumption’s most surprising benefits turns out to be social. In an era when families are scattered around the country and we may not know the people down the street from us, sharing things –even with strangers we’ve just met online – allows us to make meaningful connections.“This isn’t just about saving the environment or saving a dollar,” says SnapGoods CEO Ron Williams, who came up with the idea after renting a stranger’s motorcycle via Craigslist. “This is about saving yourself by making informed con sumer decisions.”I’m not sure if I got a thrill when I borrowed Goodwin’s iPad, but it did feel good to make a connection. In the end, though, I decided not to purchase an iPad. Sorry, Steve Jobs. I’m just not that into owning things anymore.74. Which o f the following is NOT a reason for the author’s renting an iPad instead of buying one?A. The iPad is expensive and the author wants to make sure an iPad is worthy.B. He has already got an iPhone and expects to test the better quality of iPad.C.The local Apple Store only offters limited time to test out the machine.D. The iPad is so expensive that he cannot afford it.75. SnapGoods is a website which________.A. facilitates online sharingB. helps people borrow things from their neighborsC. connects borrowers and lenders for stuff sharingD. sells iPad online76. What is Ron Williams’ attitude towards collaborative consumption?A. FavorableB. CriticalC. IndifferentD. Not known77. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. SnapGoods: a Good Place For ShoppingB. Borrow, Don’t Buy: Websites That Let Strangers ShareC. Why Do I RentD. Tips For Selling Things On the InternetSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Ambitious “go getters” (people energetic and eager to succeed) earn more money throughout their lives –but the “price” is that they have poorer health and die younger. They are also not much happier than less ambitious people.A new study tracked 717 high achievers who attended universities such as Oxford, Harvard and Yale, as well as high ability individuals who didn’t attend universities. The researchers assume that highly ambitious people may devote so much time to their jobs that they neglect areas of life proven to help people live long, happy life.The study focused on people born in the first half of the 20th century, and tracked them to the end of their lives. “Ambitious kids had higher educational attainment, attended highly esteemed universities, worked in more prestigious (有声望的) occupations, and earned more,” says Timothy Judge, professor of management at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.“So, it would seem that they are prepared to ‘have it all.’ However, we determined that ambition has a much weaker effect on life satisfaction and actually a slightly negative impact on longevity (how long people lived).“So, yes, ambitious people do achieve more successful careers, but that doesn’t seem to translate into leading happier or healthier lives.” Judge used a plex formula to judge ambition atevery stage of life – and to divide high-ability individuals into “ambitious” and “less ambitious” groups. “If amb ition has its positive effects, and in terms of career success it certainly seems that it does, our study also suggests that it carries with it some cost,” Prof Judge says.“Despite their many acplishments, ambitious people are only slightly happier than t heir less-ambitious counterparts, and they actually live somewhat shorter lives.”“Perhaps the investments they make in their careers e at the expense of the things we know affect longevity: healthy behaviors, stable relationships and deep social networks.”“If your biggest wish for your children is that they lead happy and healthy lives, you might not want to overemphasize professional success. There are limits to what our ambitions bring us – or our children.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)78. According to the passage, ambitious people have greater earning power in their life, but at thecost of their ___________.79. Who were followed and studied by the researchers in the new study?_______________________________________________.80. What are the factors that affect people’s longevity?_______________________________________________.81. Parents who expect their children to live a happy and healthy life should __________.第II卷（共47分）I.

Millions of t ourists visit the clock tower each year. Every hour on the hour, the famous bells ring. But starting in xx, it will be under major repairs, and for some of that time, its bells won’t ring. Work like this hasn’t been done on it in more than 30 years.“In o rder to keep the clock ticking(发出滴答声), we must take time to examine and repair it,” says Steve Jaggs, who oversees Big Ben. “This project will enable us to give one of Britain’s most famous landmarks the care it badly needs.”Big Ben actually is the name of the main bell inside the clock. But the entire clock tower has e to be known by that name. People have been setting their watches to Big Ben since the bell was built in 1859. It was an addition to the Palace of Westminster, which was rebuilt after a big fire in 1834. The last major repair of the tower took place from 1983 to 1985.Big Ben is again showing its age. Many of the parts in the clock need repairs. The tower itself has problems, too. The repairs will also include updating(更新) the tower so that it meets current(当前的) fire-safety requirement and installing(安装) an elevator. In total, the project will cost about $42 million.The project will take about three years, during which there will be no tours of the tower. The clock will be stopped while its hands and other parts are being fixed, and it’ll be silent for three months during the repair.“Big Ben is a symbol of the UK,” says Tom Brake, an office worker. “We have a responsibility to make sure that it’s in a good condition for fut ure generations (几代人) to enjoy, just as our ancestors(祖先) protect their masterpiece well for us to enjoy.”28.

It helps to fill time between people when it is very quiet. You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning, but it is sometimes thoughtto be not polite to say nothing.People use small talk almost every day. It usually takes place when you meet someone you don’t know at all or someone you’re not familiar with. For example, waiters and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers(顾客). If you happen to be outside when the postman es to your door, you might make small talk with him, too.Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might talk with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. People also make small talk in a doctor’s waiting room, or wh en they are waiting in a line to buy something. At the office, people make small talk in lunch rooms, especially if there is a line-up. Mingling is often required(要求) among people who don’t know each other very well at a party. That is to say, they are exp ected to walk around and talk with others.The most mon time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone on a given day. For example, if you see a neighbor in the waiting room of the airport you might say hello and discuss the sports or weather. However, the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing. If there is very little noise, it might be the right time to start a pleasant conversation. If someone is reading a book at the bus stop, it is probably not a good idea to start a conversation. Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important going on. However, it is important to recognize the signal when the other person wants the conversation to stop.32. When does small talk most probably happen?A. When reading on a bus.B. When having a meeting.C. When meeting a postman who es to your door.D. When having a family meal.33. The underlined word “Mingling” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”.A. HonestyB. PolitenessC. UnderstandingD. Conversation34. The third paragraph mainly talks about _________.A. how to make small talkB. where small talk happensC. when to make small talkD. why people make small talk35. The last paragraph is organized mainly by ________.A. telling storiesB. giving explanationsC. providing examplesD. discussing questions第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
